Chapter 24: A Terrible Earthquake
"Brother Yan, congratulations, congratulations. ”
Zhang Zhiyong came to Yan's house early in the morning.
"Brother Zhang, where does the joy come from?"
Yan Chengjing was a little inexplicable, this guy came over early in the morning to congratulate himself, is he crazy?
"Brother Yan, don't you know, I was entrusted by the city lord to come to discuss the marriage of Yan Xue and Duan Gongzi with you. If you don't have any opinions, the city lord will give a dowry and marry Yan's niece back to the city lord's mansion, isn't it a great joy?"
"Haha, this is really a happy event, then there is Brother Lao Zhang. ”
After listening to Zhang Zhiyong's words, Yan Chengjing was overjoyed. 's daughter married into the Duan family, and then she can say nothing in Flame City, who dares not to give the Yan family face?
Yan Xue can't say that she likes or hates Duan Chun, and she can still accept the marriage.
The main reason is that the power of the Duan family makes her obsessed, but she is also keen on cultivation. She thought of getting the power and aura of the Duan family, and she didn't want to stop cultivating.
If you don't marry into the Yan family for a day, you won't be the young lady of the city lord's mansion, and the power won't be in your own hands.
She had to make a choice now, whether to continue cultivating or to become her own young lady?
Duan Chun mentioned marriage countless times, but she was euphemistically dragged down, she just wanted to improve her cultivation a little more.
After two years of penance, coupled with the resources given by Duan Chun, she has now reached the fifth order of the Refining Realm. If you work harder, you won't have any problems reaching the sixth order of the refining realm recently.
"Xue'er, your constant delay will make the city lord unhappy, and besides, after you marry into their family, the cultivation resources you get will definitely be different. In my opinion, it's better to get married first. ”
Yan Chengjing will only discuss anything with Yan Xue, and he will not dominate Yan Xue's thoughts, because his daughter is wiser than him, and he has self-knowledge.
"Well, I promise him, father. However, the wedding will be held in three months, and I want to take advantage of this time to break through to the sixth order. ”
After careful consideration, Yan Xue gave an answer.
"Okay, I'll go and reply to Zhang Zhiyong, the wedding is scheduled to be held in three months. ”
Yan Chengjing happily replied to Zhang Zhiyong.
After Zhang Zhiyong got the exact information of the Yan family, he quickly returned to the City Lord's Mansion and told Duan Wuxian about the situation on the Yan family's side.
Hearing that Yan Xue promised to get married in three months, Duan Chun was overjoyed. He waited for more than two years, and he could afford to wait for three months.
Duan Wuxian is also willing to wait for three months, now that Flame City is very depressed, it will recover some after three months, and at this time, the City Lord's Mansion will have a bad impact on the happy event.
Yan Xue calculated step by step, she knew that the city lord would definitely agree, and she calculated the time.
Under the leadership of Zhao Wuwei, everyone in the Zhao family is working hard to cultivate.
Zhao Wuwei is old, his cultivation has improved slowly, and he is only at the second order of the Refining Realm now. Now that all three sons have surpassed him, he is very happy.
Zhao Zhenduo is now the number one master of the Zhao family, and he has reached the third order of the Refining Realm, and he may continue to improve in the next few months.
If it weren't for the City Lord's Mansion to suppress them all the time, with the strength of the Zhao family, it would be at least a second-rate family in the entire Flame City. But now they have nothing, they can only cultivate hard, waiting for the opportunity to revive the Zhao family.
Zhao Fei and Zhao Ming and others have been wandering in the mountains, and a sudden earthquake almost scared him to death.
Zhao Fei found that the fierce beasts in the mountains were scurrying everywhere, in groups. Birds and animals are far more sensitive to earthquakes than humans.
Zhao Fei stayed in the big tree and didn't know what was going to happen, and the following scene made them very confused. I didn't dare to go down, so I had to stay in the big tree.
The sky was gray, overcast, and stormy. The gloomy sky shrouded the mountains, and at this time I couldn't see my fingers.
"All of you come to me, and don't stay away. In the face of the sudden change in the weather, Zhao Fei shouted at everyone.
A gust of wind blew and howled, and they clung to the trunk of the tree, but the tree swayed in the wind.
Zhao Fei had a premonition that something big was happening, and he had a rare worry and fear.
In the face of major natural disasters, human beings seem very small. Zhao Fei led everyone to struggle helplessly, they were fighting with nature.
The rain poured down, and the rain was like a scoop, instantly wetting their clothes.
The temperature plummeted, and the low temperature made the wet clothes cling to the body. Zhao Fei and the others were like experiencing a harsh winter without clothes, and everyone was shivering from the cold.
Not long after the heavy rain fell, it was followed by violent shaking, and Qinghuang Mountain made a loud noise, and the sky collapsed in an instant.
The wind uprooted many trees, the mountains shook violently, and the sky seemed to fall. Zhao Fei felt an earthquake for the first time, and it was a high-level earthquake.
His face was bloodless at this time, and lightning flashed through him, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The first time I experienced an earthquake, even if I had heard the old people talk about it before, their description of the earthquake was far less terrifying than the scene in front of them.
For three days in a row, every once in a while, Qinghuang Mountain will shake as a whole, wave after wave.
The big tree where Zhao Fei stayed had already been uprooted, but fortunately they hid quickly, otherwise they would have been stoned to death by this towering ancient tree.
Birds and beasts of prey ignore them and keep scurrying around the mountains, just fleeing for their lives.
There are huge rocks on the mountain that keep rolling down, and the big trees on the ground are constantly uprooted, Zhao Fei and the others can only keep dodging in the heavy rain, and once they are hit, they will bury their bones in Qinghuang Mountain.
Zhao Yuer and the others, no matter what the circumstances, followed Zhao Fei's side closely.
Now Zhao Fei is their hope for survival, their backbone.
No one has ever experienced this scene, and living is the strongest belief in their hearts at this time.
Knowing that after three days, Qinghuang Mountain gradually stabilized, although Zhao Fei and the others survived, they were already covered in bruises.
It's not that they have enough healing medicine on their bodies, and it is estimated that they are almost all dead now.
The storm did not stop for three days, and the mountain under his feet was raised hundreds of meters at the moment of the earthquake.
In the past three days, Zhao Fei hugged them tightly, and they had to be together in life and death. These are all his relatives, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
It took another three days for the mountain to gradually return to calm, but at this time the mountain was in shambles.
The corpses of the beasts were everywhere, the trees in the forest were innumerable, and the mountain roads under their feet were even more muddy, causing them a lot of inconvenience.
After such a strong earthquake, Zhao Fei and his family survived tenaciously, which is a blessing in misfortune.
There was no rain and the sky was clear, and the gloomy sky hung above their heads, and Zhao Fei couldn't tell whether it was day or night.
They drank the rainwater, tore at the meat of the beasts that could be eaten on the ground, and wanted to get out alive, no matter how bad the environment was at this time.
They don't know how long it was, but finally one day it was sunny.
The sun shone down on them for a long time, because the trees were almost all over, and there was nothing left to block the sun.
They cheered and jumped in the sun, and nature brought them life and hope to get out of the mountains.
It wasn't until he saw the sun that Zhao Fei realized that he had gone in the opposite direction in the past few months, and he had entered at least two thousand miles deep into the mountains.
Although it is still far from the heart of the mountains, they have already performed miracles.
It is a miracle that they were able to go so far with their cultivation and survive a major earthquake.
Xu Ruyi was lying on the ground, looking up to the sky and roaring, he didn't expect to survive.
After a burst of laughter, tears welled up in his face.
Based on the change of seasons, they judged that they had been trapped in the mountains for nearly two years.
They ate and slept in the open and lived an inhuman life, but they did not give up and have lived to this day.
"Let's go, I'll go in this direction, maybe we'll be able to get out. "Zhao Fei is very happy now, at least he can see hope.
Zhao Fei led everyone in the direction of home.
"Brother, listen, there's the sound of a stream over there. Zhao Yu'er pointed not far away.
Zhao Fei listened carefully, yes, it was the sound of flowing water.
He led everyone quickly in the direction of flowing water.
The scene in front of him stunned Zhao Fei, there was actually a Grand Canyon below.
There is a stream flowing in the canyon, and it would not be accurate to say that it is a creek.
Because the stream is hundreds of meters wide, due to the earthquake, the water is so turbid that it is impossible to see the depth. It's not rough, but it's splashing.
"Let's find a way to go down to the bottom of the canyon first, and let's go upstream according to the stream, and see where the stream flows from?"
Zhao Fei led everyone along the steep cliff and walked towards the canyon step by step.
After several hours of hard work, they finally reached the bottom of the canyon.
After a short rest, they walked up the stream. If there is a canyon, they are not afraid that they will not be able to get out, since they have experienced so much, what are they afraid of?
After walking for four days, the loud noise in front of me was getting louder and louder.
"We should be almost at its source. Zhao Ming was very excited.
"It should look like it's about the same, so we'll speed up. Zhao Fei agreed with Zhao Ming's opinion.
After walking for nearly two hours, they finally saw a huge waterfall hanging in the air.
The waterfall is at least a few hundred feet high and several hundred meters wide. It's like water pouring down from the Milky Way, splashing down in a canyon.
It's far more spectacular than the waterfalls I've seen before.
The canyon at the source is even wider, several meters wide, and is surrounded by steep cliffs that are impossible to climb.
Although it has just experienced an earthquake, the scenery is still stunning.
"Brother, I like it here. "Zhao Yuer has been attracted by the beauty of this place.
"It's beautiful here, we're here for two days to recuperate and get ready and ready. Turning back, we walked out along the canyon. ”
Zhao Fei is full of confidence that he can get out of the mountains.
Hearing Zhao Fei say this, the expressions on everyone's faces relaxed.
During this time, everyone experienced calamities and faced countless horrors every day.
No one knew what would happen in the next second, and the tension was temporarily relieved, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Behold, there are many fish in this stream. ”
Zhao Yu'er stood by the stream and shouted happily, her happy smile infected everyone, and everyone's face showed a happy smile.
"God, you didn't kill me after all, I'm still alive, and I want to continue to fight with you. ”
Facing the empty valley, Zhao Fei shouted loudly, he wanted to fight with the sky.
