"We seem to have gone astray!"
The hot air balloon flew back to below the clouds. Meton plucked up his courage and looked down. He could not help but exclaim when he saw that Chang 'an City was behind them.
Although there was a breeze today, it still had a certain effect on the hot air balloon. The wind that was almost undetectable in Chang 'an City gradually became stronger once it reached the sky. At this moment, they had already appeared in the southwest of Chang' an City.
"Don't worry. When we land, there will naturally be palace guards waiting for us." Pande was not worried at all.
Meton understood. At this moment, the entire Chang 'an City must be paying attention to the hot air balloon. When they descended below the clouds, they would have been discovered by Chang' an City. At this moment, there must be many palace guards tracking the hot air balloon.
"Little Mo, are there really no immortals in this world?" Pande looked at the clouds above his head that were getting farther and farther away and said regretfully.
Meton looked at Pande in surprise and said, "Didn't Eunuch Pande see it with your own eyes?"
"That's only because there are no immortals in Chang 'an City. It doesn't mean that there are no immortals in the world. Moreover, I want you, the great Mo Jiazi, to tell me personally so that I can give up!" Pande said leisurely.
Meton immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at Pande with a frown. He said, "What do you mean, Eunuch Pande?"
Pande laughed and said, "In this world, if there's anyone who is closest to being an immortal, I'm afraid it's not you, Meton. When you first entered Chang 'an City, you shocked the Tang Empire with the secret skill of living fish. The Taoist External Elixir Sect, which had never failed in the Taoist Sect Conference, could not even withstand a single blow from you. If one did not truly understand the Immortals, how could one see through their fake tricks at a glance? Not to mention making ice in summer and predicting the solar eclipse, which is an achievement that many people could not achieve in their lifetime. Yet, you were able to do it at such a young age. I'm afraid that even the Immortals' skills are not as good as you! "
Meton sighed in his heart. He suddenly realized that his previous performance was too miraculous and had aroused many people's suspicion. Even if he had the reputation of Brother Mo Jiazi, there were still rumors that he was a descendant of immortals.
"Then Eunuch Pande, do you think I was born with this knowledge?" Meton asked with a slight smile.
Pound shook his head and said, "The moment you stepped into Chang 'an City, I had investigated you. However, you were flawless. The Mo family's disciples, who were born and raised here, all attributed the success of the Mo family's village to the secret skills of the Mo family left by Mo Zi. However, I know that if the Mo family had these secret skills from the beginning, the Mo family would not have fallen to the point of extinction. Therefore, all the Mo family's current situation was caused by Mo Zi. It can be said that Mo Zi is the Mo family's god."
. "" According to what you said, could it be that the ancestors of the Mo Family couldn't bear to let the Mo Family die out, so they sent you here to save the Mo Family? "Meton said, treating the truth as a joke.
Pande smiled bitterly and said, "It's a pity that the Mo Family doesn't cultivate immortality. Otherwise, this would be the most reasonable explanation."
Meton took a deep breath and looked at the ground that was gradually approaching. He said, "The ancients liked to deify things that they didn't understand. However, with the progress of human beings, some of the theories about ghosts and gods were gradually deciphered. The Mo Family's research on light and shadow and force was just at the right time. Now we are riding in the hot air balloon and touching the clouds may feel incredible. Maybe one day, the hot air balloon will be further developed and ordinary people will be able to fly in the air. They may even be able to climb the moon and Taibai Star to explore. When that time comes, looking back, the hot air balloon we are riding today is just the complacency of the first bow and arrow made by humans to hunt small prey! "
"Climb the moon and Taibai Star!" Pande immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He naturally thought that it was impossible. However, when he thought about how they had just reached the clouds, how could anyone have predicted this before?
"Eunuch Pang, we are about to land!" Meton didn't continue the topic and suddenly shouted.
Just as the two were talking, the hot air balloon continued to descend. The entire scene on the ground suddenly became bigger and clearer. Meton could clearly see a group of cavalry galloping towards them on horseback. It was obvious that they were the palace guards who had followed them here.
"We're landing!"
Pande's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly grabbed the basket and waited.
Meton saw this and reminded, "Eunuch Pang, be careful. When we land, there will be some impact. It's best to bend your legs to avoid falling and injuring yourself. Also, when we land, we may bounce a few times. Eunuch Pang, it's best to wait for the hot air balloon to come to a complete stop before jumping down."
When Pande heard this, he immediately imitated Meton's actions.
"Dong!"
With a muffled sound of impact, the basket hit the unmelted snow in the field, causing snowflakes to fly everywhere. It bounced a few times before slowly coming to a stop. It was exactly as Meton had said.
When the hot air balloon stabilized, Meton turned off the ignition. The huge hot air balloon quickly dried up.
Meton walked down the basket and couldn't help but feel his legs go soft. When he once again stepped on solid ground, a sense of relief involuntarily welled up in his heart. Meton was in such a state, and Pande beside him wasn't any better. The two greedily breathed in the cold air on the ground.
"Swish swish swish swish!"
A large group of palace guards stepped through the snow. The one leading them was the leader of the hundred cavalry, Li Junxian.
"Merton, Eunuch Pang, are you alright?" Li Junxian hurriedly asked.
Meton shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm just not used to falling from the sky. Right, how long have we been up there?"
When they were in the hot air balloon, they could only roughly estimate the time. It wasn't accurate.
"A little over half an hour!" Li Junxian thought for a moment and replied.
Morton and Pound couldn't help but look at each other. They were in the hot air balloon, and every second felt extremely long. They thought that a long time had passed, but they didn't expect that only half an hour had passed, which was half an hour in the modern world, and they were already back. Of course, it also had to do with the fact that they were flying too low and didn't stop at all.
"Where are we now?" Pande looked at the empty field and frowned.
"In reply to Eunuch Pang! This place is twenty miles southwest of Chang 'an City. Not far to the east is the brick road to the south of the city. "Li Junxian smiled.
"Ten miles away!" Meton was shocked. They had set off from the palace, crossed Chang 'an City, and arrived ten miles southwest of Chang' an City. It was at least twenty miles away.
Upon hearing this, Pande immediately stepped forward and said, "Let's return to the palace quickly. I think His Majesty must be waiting anxiously."
Immediately, everyone stood up. Immediately, a hundred cavalrymen presented two fine horses for Meton and Pande to ride. As for the hot air balloon behind them, there would naturally be a hundred cavalrymen who would pack it up and send it back to Chang 'an City.
When they arrived at the brick road to the south of the city, there was already a four-wheeled carriage waiting for them. With a shout, they immediately rushed towards Chang 'an City.
