The cold winter of the seventh year of the Great Moon Jianwu came earlier than in previous years.

It was still early winter, and the wind and snow fell for three or three nights, enveloping the whole of Kyoto in a blanket of snow and ice.

In addition, the black clouds over Kyoto that still linger for more than a month make most Kyoto people live in a lifeless and depressing atmosphere.

But even without this snow, such days have been going on for some time.

Since the horrific volcanic eruption more than a month ago, countless people in Kyoto have fled the news.

Otsuki Kyoto, which was originally the largest city in the next place, actually walked nearly half of the people at once, and in this cold winter, it was like an empty city.

Despite repeated announcements from the government that the eruption of the volcano at the top of Mt. Gassan would not affect Kyoto, troops were even placed at the four major gates to strictly prohibit the people from leaving the city.

But even so, the wisdom of the masses of the people is endless.

The people of the city are still fleeing.

That catastrophe was really terrifying.

Not to mention the apocalyptic scene of the volcanic eruption, which has already frightened everyone who sees it, just the 578 frequent earthquakes have also made people who have experienced it tremble all over their bodies and their scalps tingle as long as they hear the earthquake in this life!

According to government statistics, more than 20,000 houses in Kyoto were toppled in the catastrophe, more than 100,000 people were injured, and more than 2,380 people died.

Yes, in the fifty-seventh year of the founding of the country, such a catastrophe is unprecedented

Such a loss is rare in the world.

Even in the history of the Blood Moon Continent, such a catastrophe had never been seen before.

For more than a month, most of the Otsuki people who stayed in Kyoto lived in a trembling state with lingering palpitations.

......

If it's just a panic caused by a disaster, there will be a time when it will dissipate.

But if the spiritual dependence is destroyed, the panic will be more protracted and more terrible.

Leireiji Temple is the spiritual support of Kyoto and even Otsuki people.

For thousands of years, people have lived and multiplied here, generation after generation.

No one thought about what their lives would be like without the Lei Ling Temple.

Even in Da Yuerao's leisure time, most of them were filled with many resentments about Lei Ling Temple.

For example, many people think that the threshold of Leiling Temple is too high, and there are some stinky monks in the temple who eat and wait for death, like moths, who enjoy the offerings of the empire from generation to generation, squandering the people's fat and people's ointment.

There are also those stinky monks who control the unique resources of Leiling Temple, which makes many forces hate it.

Yes, people have been angry with Leiling Temple for thousands of years, generation after generation.

But now, the Lei Ling Temple is gone!

In that terrible volcanic eruption, it was so completely destroyed and disappeared so abruptly.

People are not mentally prepared in the slightest.

Knowing this result, all the Otsuki people darkened their faces and fell into a collective silence.

The Thunder Spirit Temple they cursed was gone, but they couldn't be happy.

Everyone felt as if their hearts were suddenly empty.

The dependence of their hearts was suddenly destroyed.

It's like someone has ripped off the flesh of the heart with a dagger, and all that's left is the walking dead.

This feeling is like a student who graduated from Lei Ling Academy, usually he can't help but complain about his alma mater, but when Lei Ling Academy disappears, they are like walking corpses who have lost their souls.

For thousands of years, Leiling Temple has actually become the spiritual totem of Da Yuerao.

As long as the Lei Ling Temple is here, this country, this nation is there.

Even a hundred years ago, the northern barbarians and the Sealand Empire formed an alliance and launched a campaign against Otsuki for more than 50 years.

Sealand's iron cavalry swept all the way to Nanhuang County, putting the people of this land in danger of extinction.

But people have not been so panicked as they are now.

Because although Kyoto fell at that time, Koreiji Temple is still there.

Even at the critical juncture of the nation's peril, two young men walked out of the Leiling Temple and pulled up the banner of expelling the Tartars and returning my Dayue in Nanhuang County.

Since then, the wise and martial Emperor Taizu and the Han general, who has never tasted defeat in his life, have led the Dayue people all the way to the ground, defeated the Sealand and the Northern Barbarians, and recaptured their own land and Xia.

From this period of history, every Dayue person is full of red light and full of pride.

For Emperor Taizu and General Han, people also think that they are national heroes from the bottom of their hearts.

But now it seems that all this glory and pride belong to the Lei Ling Temple.

Without the Thunder Soul Temple, nothing would have been possible.

What is even more disturbing and frightening is the destruction of the Lei Ling Temple, which is not just as simple as pulling out the backbone of the Great Moon Nation.

This is a world of cultivating immortals and preaching the Tao.

All the powerhouses are backed by an extremely powerful immortal cultivation sect behind them.

The reason why Otsuki is strong is because it has the thousand-year-old peak of the Lei Ling Temple.

Similarly, the reason why Sealand was able to establish a country is also due to the Hanquan Nunnery behind it.

As for the barbarians of the Northern Wilderness, they also have the support of the Wildfire Valley.

Even overseas Fuso is under the protection of Xianling Island.

Yes, if you lose the Lei Ling Temple, Da Yue will be the meat on the chopping board, and she will become the target of slaughter by the next major sects.

Unless Otsuki can quickly rebuild the Lei Ling Temple.

The root of Keleiling Temple is obviously not as simple as a temple.

The real strength of the Lei Ling Temple is the thunderstorm sea on the top of the Moon Mountain.

That pool of thunder sea is a resource coveted by everyone in the lower monks.

What Leiling Temple has been doing all along is to use wires to draw out these thunderbolts and let people quench their bodies and practice, and it has created a thousand-year-old peak.

But now, that pool of thunder has been destroyed.

This is the core and deadly problem.

No one can find another Thunderstorm Sea, so no one can build another Thunderstorm Temple.

As for the Lei Ling Academy, it was an existence attached to the Lei Ling Temple.

Although he has also cultivated countless ancient martial arts powerhouses for the empire, he cannot determine the future and destiny of a country and a nation at all.

Now that a month has passed, the mountain that weighs on the hearts of Da Yue's people is getting heavier and heavier.

They do not know how long this calm will last, and when such peaceful days will end.

They could only live trembling and restless, hoping that the woman who had been in the palace for seven years would make some decisions.

However, since the eruption of the volcano, the palace has fallen into absolute silence.

No news has come out and no action has been taken.

There are even rumors that the palace is very secretive about this, and it is forbidden to talk about all topics related to Leiling Temple and Moon Mountain.

This made the hearts of the people more and more uneasy, and they all gave birth to the idea of fleeing.

Yang Dali is a burly young man, after he failed to be admitted to the Lei Ling Academy three years ago, he stayed in the capital of Kyoto, and lived by carrying a large bag and selling coolies on the dock.

There are many young people like him in Kyoto.

But today, Yang Dali decided to leave Kyoto and return to the countryside.

Half a month ago, a pair of brothers and sisters lived next door to him.

The young man named Han San made a generous move and gave him a sum of money.

So he used the money to make a deal with Lao Zhu, who sold grain and grass.

Just tonight, he will take the two brothers and sisters, hide in the sack of old Zhu Yunliang, and go out of the city by water.

Yang Dali is quite excited about this.

Here, Lao Zhu started this smuggling business, as a porter, he has always looked at it.

But because of the shyness in his pocket, he could only stare dryly.

Now that he had the money of the siblings, he could not only escape from the city, but also get a lot of money.

It's a sure-fire deal!

But just now, Yang Dali heard a shocking news.

"Brother Han, I heard that in the afternoon, at the entrance of the East Market, I want to kill the Sealand spies. ”

He hurried back to the rental house in the deep alley and shouted to the brother and sister hiding in the house.

"What? Killing the Sealand spies at such a time, is the Empire going to war with Sealand again?"

Han San opened the door and shouted in shock.

"I don't know, do you want to go and see it?"

"Hmm...... Okay, it's okay anyway. “
