Chapter 039: Frozen October Descends to Heaven
I don't know if it was the successful enthronement of Li Zheng in the Liansheng Kingdom Palace against the will of heaven, or the successful pregnancy ceremony held in Yanjia Village, it really belonged to the forbidden technique of changing one's life against the sky, just at midnight on the day after the end of the heavenly pregnancy ceremony and the palace change, all of a sudden, everyone in the country was awakened by a thunderstorm at the same moment!
"Boom...... Click......"
"Huhuhu......"
"Whoa......
"Whoosh ......"
"Crackling ......"
……
The thunder was mixed with wind and hail, and these fist-sized hailstones slammed into the roofs, trees, and people who were walking at night.
As for the trees, the tall, strong, and sturdy ones only broke a few branches, but the short, slender, and fragile ones broke off completely.
The same is true of houses, a few splendid palace buildings are only partially damaged and full of cracks, but those simple houses, thatched houses, etc., have collapsed with a bang.
Even the terrifying creatures of the Black-tailed Leafhopper Country, which was thousands of miles away from the Lotus Country, including the royal nobles who had turned into human forms, heard the thunder here, and they all came out of the house one after another, looking in the direction of the Lotus Kingdom for unknown reasons, fearful.
After about a quarter of an hour, the weather disappeared eerily.
Then, the originally dark sky suddenly turned snow-white, and then goose feathers and snow fluttered one after another.
Subsequently, the people who survived this sudden catastrophe were attracted by a burst of obscure and repeated Sanskrit sounds like chanting sutras, and could not help but stand in the open space in the courtyard and look up at the sky.
Quietly listen to the recitation of this heavenly sound:
"Worm beetles...... Worm beetle ......"
"Worm beetles...... Worm beetle ......"
"Worm beetles...... Worm beetle ......"
……
Although it was very monotonous, the whole country, including the emperor Li Zheng in the palace, floated in the air and listened to it fascinated.
Everyone stood outside the house, listening, listening, closing their eyes and letting the snow fall on their bodies and gradually cover their bodies.
At that moment, everyone didn't want to think about anything, didn't want to do anything, it seemed that there were no worries, they didn't even want to move, they just wanted to just stand all the time.
Time flows in this magical, weird process......
A quarter of an hour passed......
An hour passed......
A day passed......
A month passed......
Six months have passed......
In the past six months, everyone in the Lotus Kingdom has formed a thick layer of ice all over their bodies, and as far as the eye can see, a human-shaped ice sculpture is quite spectacular!
At this moment, everyone fell into an absurd hibernation period, not eating, not aging, not dying, but falling into a deep sleep......
There are only four exceptions:
The first person was Mrs. Smoke, and although she was also wrapped in ice, her mind was still very clear. She looked at the motionless snow-white villagers outside through the ice film, not knowing what was going on, and not understanding why everyone was frozen.
She was very frightened, but no matter how much she struggled, it was to no avail, and no matter how much she screamed, she could not make a sound.
At that moment, she was not worried about her life and death, but felt sorry for her daughter Yanyu in her womb, this day the pregnancy was just successful, how could she encounter such a natural disaster, does she still have any hope of being born?
As the sun rose and sunset, dawn and darkness, she was still frozen in place, unable to move, still listening to the incomprehensible Sanskrit sounds, and falling into the best memories of the past.
Time passed like this, and Mrs. Smoke was really a little desperate, until the sixth month, she suddenly felt that something seemed to be moving in her abdomen, and after feeling it carefully, she felt like a child was kicking her legs.
In an instant, she was ecstatic! I thought to myself, fortunately, my daughter Yanyu has not been affected by the ice and snow, and she is still growing up healthily, which means that in four months, she should be about to give birth.
Since then, she no longer worries and sorrows, but always pays attention to the child's every move, silently imagining what the child is doing in her womb.
……
The second exception is Nalan Qiqing, who has been thinking about how to explain her origin to the villagers since the end of the pregnancy ceremony, after all, if she wants to live in this village, she must gain the trust of the villagers.
But she can't tell the truth that she is the queen mother, and she is still pregnant with the future prince of the Lotus Kingdom. Just when the old village chief and other villagers surrounded her to ask about her background, fortunately, Ling Fox Mei appeared in time and helped her out of the siege, while hinting at Nalan Qiqing by blinking, she made up that her mother had pointed to the portrait of Nalan Qiqing in the room, saying that there was once a sister who was separated, so she suspected that Nalan Qiqing was his aunt.
And Nalan Qiqing, who is smart in ice and snow, although she doesn't understand why Ling Fox Mei wants to lie to help her, she didn't expose this lie, but instead admitted it, anyway, she just wanted to dispel the concerns of the villagers first, as for this man who claimed to be her nephew, before asking his true purpose, just be careful.
Considering that she will live in Yanjia Village for a long time in the future, she will have to have a new name, so Nalan Qiqing claims to be surnamed Lan Mingqi, and introduces Yudie's name as Qingyu Butterfly, as for Linghu Mei, she also temporarily made up a name for herself Ye Mei.
When the old village chief saw that Nalan Qiqing and Ling Fox Charm recognized each other, they naturally no longer doubted it, and enthusiastically arranged for her, Yudie and Ling Fox Charm to live in an empty house in the village as their temporary residence in Yanjia Village.
The original occupants of this room moved away with their families, so it was vacant, and it happened to be for Nalan Qiqing and them to live in. Anyway, there are two rooms in the house, one for Nalan Qiqing and one for Yudie, and the other is naturally Linghu Mei.
Unexpectedly, just the first night of staying, such a natural disaster happened, when the house was smashed by hail and collapsed, fortunately, Ling Fox Mei rushed in time and rescued her and Yudie.
Then, the three of them were in the courtyard, listening to the Sanskrit sound, and gradually turned into three ice sculptures.
It's just that Nalan Qiqingye, like Mrs. Yan, has a clear mind, and in the sixth month, she was also pleasantly surprised to feel the fetal movement that Jun in her womb did not meet, and from then on, she also had the expectation of living.
……
As for the third person, it was Linghu Mei, when he desperately rescued Nalan Qiqing and Yudie, he was also frozen, but he did not fall into hibernation, but was surprised to find that with the passage of time, his body became smaller and smaller, and his memory was gradually lost, and in the sixth month, he had become a child who was only five or six years old, and at that moment, his memories had almost been forgotten, and he really became a child.
……
There is another person who has the same weird experience as Ling Fox Mei, this person is the fourth exception, he is Li Jiaxi, he guarded 7749 days of filial piety for his grandmother in the broken temple in the suburbs, and went to the imperial city to find his mother, but at that time, Ghost Rose had already rushed to Yanjia Village, so Li Jiaxi entered the palace with the palace token given to him by his grandmother to inquire once, only to know that Ghost Rose left the imperial city to go to Yanjia Village to do business, he had to find an inn near the palace and stayed temporarily, waiting for Ghost Rose to return to the palace.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden palace change in the palace, he heard that even Concubine Lan Guifei had her limbs chopped off, and he naturally understood that the Ghost Rose might not be able to return to the palace, so he planned to leave the Imperial City and look for the Ghost Rose along the road to Yanjia Village.
The night before departure, when I was sleeping in the inn, I was awakened by midnight thunder, and later came to the courtyard to enjoy the Sanskrit sound turned into an ice sculpture.
After that, like Ling Humei, his mind remained awake, but as time went by, he found that his body was inexplicably getting smaller and smaller. By the time he was six months old, he had become a child who had lost all his memories.
In this unbelievable change, the entire Lotus Kingdom has become a country full of ice sculptures for six consecutive months.
Seven months have passed......
Nine months have passed......
"Boom, Click......"
When the tenth month came, the sky that had been silent for ten months erupted again with a thunderclap, and the Sanskrit sounds finally disappeared.
It's just that when the thunder struck the person who was turned into an ice sculpture, the ice sculpture began to melt, and about an hour later, after the thunder ended, all the people of the Lotus Kingdom returned to normal again, and they could move around freely again.
Everyone felt as if they had a thousand-year-old dream, and they all fell into the memories of the dream, and their mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.
And after the ice sculpture on Nalan Qiqing and Mrs. Yan melted, they found themselves holding a very cute baby in their arms, but they didn't expect their children to come to this world with such an amazing phenomenon.
When Yanyu and Jun Buyu cried at the moment when the ice melted, they also woke up the memories of other Yanyanjia villagers, and they rushed over to congratulate Mrs. Yan and Nalan Qiqing one after another, and at the same time felt unbelievable that these two children were ten months pregnant, causing the entire Liansheng Country to be covered with ice and snow.
"My daughter Yanyu, my father thought that he would never see the moment you were born in this life! Woohoo......"
Yan Wuhuo rushed over excitedly, and said with tears in his arms.
The villagers who watched around also sighed, deeply feeling that Yanyu must be a strange woman in the future, before she was born, she experienced ups and downs, and she was pregnant, and it was snowfall, and the whole country was frozen, so she came to this world, and she was destined to be very imaginable in this life.
And during these ten months, the other eleven Lotus Born Heavenly Maidens except for Yanyu were still in their mother's womb without the slightest movement, that is, they would not be born until ten months later.
As for Ling Fox Charm, after the ice on his whole body melted, it took a quarter of an hour before he started crying in an ice cave on the ground, which attracted the attention of the villagers, and suddenly, everyone was stunned!
Why is there another child in Yanjia Village, it is still a baby boy born from an ice cave without a mother.
At that moment, only the smart Nalan Qiqing guessed it instantly, but she couldn't understand why Ling Fox Mei was an adult, but she turned back into a baby.
After a long time, the attentive villagers found that Ling Fox was gone, but no one thought that this cute baby boy who was hugged by everyone for a while was the missing Ling Fox Charm.
When the villagers of Yanjia Village were curiously guessing the origin of the baby boy Ling Humei, in an inn in the imperial city thousands of miles away, many guests were also curiously talking about a crying baby boy, and the baby boy was Li Jiaxi......
