Chapter 5: Heaven and Earth Change
Annam-gun, late September.
Not only did it rain for three days and two days, but the weather was also inexplicably cold, completely beyond the scope of "cold" in the morning and evening.
So much so, another day, when I got up in the morning, many people looked at the trees inside and outside the courtyard or on the road, and were suddenly stunned.
Because many of the leaves of the trees have fallen off.
Not only did many yellow and green leaves fall off, but even many of the small seedlings that had just bloomed had fallen, and almost every tree had fallen under a layer.
At first time, many people's reaction was not adaptable.
The trees that used to be around or nearby have long been ignored, but at this time, the leaves have fallen in large areas, making the tree that I have seen many times on a daily basis seem quite unfamiliar.
And those unfamiliar trees make the whole yard, or the whole street, a little unfamiliar.
There is a lot of talk in the streets.
"What's going on, why do trees lose their leaves?"
If the people in Beizhou or even Zhongzhou heard this, they would definitely laugh their big teeth, but in Nanzhou, in Annan County, whether they are old or young, they really have never seen such a scene as today.
In the strangeness, there is also a trace of inexplicable unease.
Some people lamented that the weather was very cold, especially some old people, many old people who were cultivators but only in the Qi Condensation Realm, and they also showed a trace of timidity in this weather.
All day, the sky was dark and gloomy, and people's hearts were tight.
In the evening of this day, something even stranger happened.
The wind is blowing.
Gale!
Annan County was not without wind in the past, but they really had never seen a strong wind or a storm, the kind of strange wind that seemed to tear the sky apart and made a terrible roar, and even many trees were destroyed inside and outside the courtyard.
"What's going on?"
From evening to night.
No matter how unpredictable and weird the weather is, people always have to sleep.
Some people sleep so deeply that they don't wake up until dawn, and even if the world turns upside down, they can't wake up from their sleep.
In the middle of the night, as the wind continued to howl, these people heard the sound of rustling outside the house.
It's raining again?
But the sound doesn't seem to be very similar.
Some continued to curl up in bed, while others got up in their clothes or went out or looked out of the window.
At night, even if there are lights, they can't see very clearly, and many people make movements that are purely governed by instinct and stretch out their hands.
Feel it in this most direct way.
Hurt.
It hurts.
It was as if small grains of salt were smashed on the hand.
But when I put my hand back, I saw water.
So, it's still raining, but the sound, why is it so different?
If you have an organic spirit, you can just take a basin and put it outside, so it crackles and crackles.
After a while, when they took back the basin, they saw that there was a layer at the bottom of the basin that they had never seen before, like grains of salt, like grains of sugar, like pale white and transparent fine grit.
Quite a few people even picked up some of that stuff and put it in their mouths to taste.
Not salty.
It's not sweet either.
Not only melt in the mouth, but also melt in the hands.
So......
What the hell is this?
The county watchman's house.
The new county guard is not from outside, but the former Zihua Pavilion master Ye Nanping.
But earlier, he was a native of the imperial capital.
Naturally, he didn't know what was going on like these dirt buns in Annan County, but it was precisely because he knew that he muttered in his heart.
"Why is it hailing here?"
What a sight to see the undead!
As time continued, the Xiaoice hail turned into a large hail, and then, the big hail turned into an overwhelming snowfall, and even the strange wind that lasted from evening to midnight before stopped, as if it was crushed into the ground by this heavy snow.
It was far from dawn, but it was indeed "bright".
Between heaven and earth, a plain white, and under the cover of this plain white, the night is like day.
Standing in the atrium of the county guard's mansion, Ye Nanping felt the faint movement of the entire county town, as well as exclamations from far and near.
Just like the office on the side, there was a loud exclamation, "Wow, what is this?"
What's that?
It's a common thing in the Northland.
In fact, Ye Nanping has seen even more snow.
But he has also lived in Annan County for decades, but Ye Nanping has never seen a year when there is ice and snow here.
It's still such a big snowfall.
"Is this normal?" Looking at the sky and the earth, Ye Nanping muttered.
It is precisely because he has seen a lot and knows a lot that although Ye Nanping knows that the current situation is strange, he will not draw conclusions based on this. Because this kind of extremely abnormal change in the weather, although rare, but not uncommon.
It is not impossible to do this now, for the last time in dozens or even hundreds of years.
Just like the Northland, it snows every year, but it suddenly warms up in a certain year, and at the end of the year, not only does it not snow, but the sun blooms.
Is there such a situation?
Yes!
Ye Nanping had never seen it, but Zihua Pavilion had such a thing in the records of the imperial capital.
But Ye Nanping didn't plan to announce it to the public, "This is a normal change in the weather, don't be surprised." ”
It is only necessary to send out the men of the county to inspect the four fields during the day, so that the common people will not be affected by this weather, and to issue the same order to the cities in the county.
Ye Nanping didn't know that in recent days, it was not only Annan County that had experienced extremely abnormal changes in the weather.
Southern State, State Agency.
The "four big guys" who have been talked about openly and secretly by many people in Annan County, Xu Yishan, Gan Congshi, Nanping Xiu, and Xu Tonghui, have been stationed in Nanzhou because they have no outside activities in the past month.
And the Nanzhou State Office is actually arranged on the center of an aura.
The "Big Four", plus the original boss Mo Tiankui in Nanzhou, formed a real lineup of five bigwigs, and in terms of absolute strength, they even overpowered the imperial capital.
However, in the hundreds of years that can be seen, the only thing that the four Heavenly Steps have to concentrate on is cultivation, and they take advantage of the physical and mental changes when they first enter the Heavenly Stage, and practice steadily but in great strides.
If they can't concentrate at this stage, it will basically be wasted, and there will be no great development in the future.
As a veteran Heavenly Rank, Mo Tiankui truly played the role of a mentor at this time, and as a forerunner, he almost selflessly shared his cultivation experience with several young people.
There is a reason why he is selfless.
The cultivation method he obtained from his disciple Xu Yishan, as well as the cultivation principles infiltrated in the method, were enough to make his cultivation on the basis of the present and take it to a higher level.
It's not just about going to the next level.
Rather, it shows him a higher realm, a broader path.
For that existence, Mo Tiankui was naturally unable to repay him, and everything he had was nothing more than dirt and mustard for that person.
So Mo Tiankui's response was put on a few young people.
At his level, it was more than enough to give these newcomers some guidance on the differences between the earth level and the heaven level in the general direction.
Under such exchanges and interactions, the five of them are also teachers and friends.
This night, when the snow fell, Mo Tiankui set wine in the atrium and invited a few people to a table for a drink.
There is no cover above the table and chairs, but the five bigwigs are here, how can half a snowflake dare to be presumptuous, so although there is heavy snow flying and piling up all over the ground more than a dozen steps away, this banquet is a clear world.
is such a big guy, just so inadvertently, let any outsider see it, it will be so speechless, so that he is dumbfounded, and then bow and worship.
But how can such a small thing be put in the hearts of several people?
For them, it's not a show, it's just instinct.
The same instinct as breathing.
What worries them is why it snows here.
As a soil bun, Xu Tonghui had never seen snow, but he had seen it in his dream, and the snow was bigger than this to the sky, at this time, he just said puzzledly: "Senior, our Nanzhou, will it also snow? ”
Mo Tiankui shook his head, "According to records, within 10,000 years, it has never snowed in our Nanzhou. ”
This is outrageous.
Not a hundred years, not a thousand years, but ten thousand years.
Where there hasn't been snow for 10,000 years, it suddenly snows, what's going on?
After sharing the news, even a few "young people" realized that this fact was not trivial, and then their expressions gradually became solemn.
In fact, Mo Tiankui's heart was even more worried.
Previously, he had always wondered why the matter of the Ascension Hall this time was suddenly greatly advanced, and the number of personnel was also greatly increased.
They can't even make up the number of places they need to be promoted!
Why did the saints have such an arrangement?
At this time, seeing this weather anomaly that had not been seen in 10,000 years, Mo Tiankui faintly connected these two things.
It didn't take him long to speculate, but the next day, before the snow had stopped, they received a message from the Holy Land.
Directly from the Holy Land, to which Dayao Mountain belongs, almost all the heavenly steps have been summoned, and then, parade the entire Nanzhou.
And this parade, all kinds of visions in the entire heaven and earth, entered the field of vision of the heavenly steps.
Heavy snowfall in warm areas is not worth mentioning.
What shocked many people was that above the canopy, from time to time, purple or red blood-colored bands of light appeared, which often disappeared immediately, but like fish swimming in the sea, they gathered more and more on the endless canopy.
In the near polar region of Nanzhou, in the boundless ocean, violent winds and waves rise frequently, especially huge waves, which completely lift icebergs into the sky, and then smash down heavily.
That terrifying momentum made all the Heavenly Ranks a little frightened, and they didn't dare to come closer.
And if it were an ordinary person here, he would have been deaf by the shock, and it is not even ruled out that he would be frightened and die of bile directly.
In the place where the two domains of Dayao Mountain and Wangting Mountain bordered, the Heavenly Ladders witnessed the earth suddenly tearing apart in front of their eyes, and then erupted from the ground with the blazing magma of fire and smoke, as well as various streams of water that spewed or splashed.
The normal world has become like hell.
Faced with such a scene, many people are really bloodless. Even the Heavenly Rank can't make them calm in the face of such a change in heaven and earth.
"My lord, what the hell is going on?" someone asked the leader of the Holy Land.
In this world, there is no concept of "doomsday coming", otherwise, at this time, it is estimated that the end has come to everyone's hearts.
Because it really looks like the end of the world.
"Before that, the saint himself had given an edict. The leader solemnly proclaimed to all the heavenly steps, and his voice was far and near, "The sage said that in the days to come, there may be all kinds of changes between heaven and earth. ”
"But. ”
"We need not be surprised, we need not be alarmed. ”
"Although these changes in the heavens and the earth are unprecedented, they will not cause the heavens and the earth to be repeated and the lives of people to be destroyed. ”
"All the regions that are facing catastrophe or about to face catastrophe have been fully glimpsed by the saints, and the people of their lands have all moved to other stable places in the surrounding areas. ”
"Yes, we can put our minds at ease, watch the vastness of this world, and enjoy this unprecedented wonder and difference in a thousand years. ”
Under these words, all the heavenly steps in the field were relieved.
And then, what rises in my heart is all kinds of pride, and there are even many heavenly steps, which directly roar with relief.
