Nandi, Majiazhuang.

Majiazhuang is located in the suburbs of Linyuan City, famous for its abundance of snow chrysanthemum tea in Zhucheng near and far, and the people in the village are also living quite well.

In the past, there was an endless stream of carriage caravans in the village, but now it is no longer merchants and ordinary people who come in and out, but a group of government soldiers with cold faces, sword soldiers in hand, and official uniforms, which are also mixed with Lingfu people with bright silver waist cards.

The doors of every house in the village are wide open, and they are crowded with resting soldiers, and the middle of the village is in full swing to make a big pot of rice, and distribute it to the anxiously waiting crowd.

The smoke of the cooking stove, the frightened crowds, the heavy and oppressive atmosphere are all due to the mysterious fault that has appeared near this place.

Therefore, the people in the village have all been evacuated and replaced by the soldiers of the nearby Binyang City and the people of the Lingfu.

In fact, it does not mean that there is a large-scale cracking on the surface, but that there is an abnormal climate segmentation outside Majiazhuang, from outside Majiazhuang to Linyuan City in the distance, all of which are shrouded in abnormal weather.

Other than that, the rest of the world is a normal southland winter scene.

Originally, this was nothing, so that the government and the spirit mansion would not be blocked, and the terrible thing was that as long as they entered the fault, all the people and animals were missing.

For a while, people's hearts were shaken, and even some fanatics blamed the lack of virtue of St. David, so there was 'heavenly punishment'.

In just two days since the fault appeared, the damage caused has been incalculable, with tens of thousands of people missing, and even more so livestock.

But at present, it can only be ruled missing, because the matter is far from over.

If someone stands outside Majiazhuang, they will find that there is no beginning or end to this climatic fault at a glance, and they can only find that everything in front of them is wrapped in it.

Outside the fault, the sky is clear, there is a little bit of life in the cold wind, there are grains of spring seeds buried under the frozen soil, and from time to time people are walking back and forth, patrolling, and people in official uniforms stand in a circle around the fault.

Within the fault, goose feathers and heavy snow, everything is silent, and the winter sky is a layer of boundless blackness, and the gray sky extends to the end of the vision.

At this moment, not only Majiazhuang, but also all within a radius of five miles of Linyuan City, shrouded in black curtains, covered by heavy snow, and dead silent.

Five miles away from Linyuan City, no matter where they are, the people of the government and the Lingfu can be seen everywhere, and it has lasted for two whole days now.

Thankfully, although the area covered by the heavy snow is shrinking slowly, the area covered by the dark curtain is gradually shrinking, but despite this, no one dares to go in without permission.

Because it has been tried with pheasants, wild boars and other animals for a long time, as soon as they step into the range of the snow, the figure will disappear immediately, even if there is a rope tied behind it, either the rope will suddenly break, or the person with the rope will be pulled in.

However, according to the estimation of the past two days, if you just wait here, I am afraid it will take more than a month for the shady curtain to disappear completely.

And the Spirit Mansion or the secret sect behind it is obviously intolerable.

At this moment, in Majiazhuang, not far from the entrance of the village, there is an obviously slightly luxurious dwelling, which was originally the house of the tea merchant stationed in Majiazhuang, but now it is vacated, which happens to be the resting place of the regional officials of the Lingfu, that is, where Wang Xu currently lives temporarily.

There were two strong men in black brocade clothes standing at the door of the room, their eyes staring at the passing government soldiers.

At this moment, the door is closed, and a faint moisture can be seen spreading out from the crack in the door.

Inside the room sat a young man dressed in a luxurious costume with a knife, playing with a small token shining with silver light, and the word 'Xu' was engraved on it.

There is a stove next to it, which makes the sound of gurgling water.

Outside the window, not far away is a miserable white mountain forest, which was still full of life before, but now it is dead and silent.

Wang Xu retracted his gaze and looked at the document in front of him again, which began with a red letter.

"Linyuan City, heavy snow seals the city, urgent!!"

He'd read it back and forth three times, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

He closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair cushioned with cotton wool, and what Fu Qingye had said to him came to his mind again.

"Qingyun, Linyuan City was sealed by a heavy snowfall, this is an opportunity, but it is also extremely dangerous, whether you are willing to fight or not, it depends on you."

It has been half a year since he joined the Lingfu with Fu Qingye, and in the past half a year, relying on his own strength on the one hand, and Fu Qingye's secret care and promotion on the other hand, he can easily sit in the position of the regional official of the Lingfu.

You must know that the regional officials are already considered to be the middle level of the Lingfu, and they are only one step away from the high-level, and above are the search envoys of the Lingfu, and the top of the Lingfu is the chief and deputy masters.

However, this is also the top, and if there is no special opportunity, I am afraid that he will never be promoted to the position of deputy envoy of search.

Although he has Fu Qingye to take care of him in the dark, because he rarely participates in dealing with incidents, he is basically dealing with paperwork.

Although this is also what Wang Xu can't ask for, it can invisibly allow him to get a lot of information, but obviously just like this, he is not competent to search the chief and deputy envoys.

Moreover, the search envoy is generally served by an experienced exterminator, and even the deputy envoy of the search is generally served by the exterminator, and only a very small number of them are served by masters with superb internal skills.

Therefore, this incident is an opportunity for both him and Fu Qingye.

The status of the Lingfu is very transcendent, and as far as his current regional officials are concerned, they are all positions of real power.

When encountering special events, it is naturally higher than the government.

There are not a few people who are jealous of his current position as a regional official, but it is just that Fu Qingye's search for the identity of the envoy is not good.

And this time there was such an incident in the place where Wang Xu was supervising, after investigation, the area within a radius of five miles of Linyuan City was suddenly covered by a sudden heavy snowfall, and the merchants along the road, as well as the people in the government who went to Linyuan City to do business, all disappeared.

At the same time, the people sent to Linyuan City to investigate, and even the birds that sent the message all disappeared, and there was no news, and the location covered by the black curtain was like a different space, isolating everything.

So Wang Xu was ordered by the Lingfu and cooperated with other colleagues to block all the five miles of Linyuan City, and monitored and waited for the next order here.

Originally, he belonged to Fu Qingye's jurisdiction, and he had always lived very comfortably, but some time ago, Fu Qingye received an urgent order from the mansion to deal with a ghost matter, and the mansion sent another search envoy to monitor the area.

The sudden incident in Linyuan City this time, and at the same time, the search was taking this one by surprise.
