Leaving the retreat place, Pan Long did not use the means of coming and going, but walked slowly on the road like a leisurely stroll, all the way to the east.

Although his steps were not in a hurry, the steps under his feet were enormous. If someone looks at him on the side of the road, they will see that he will cross a distance of at least ten zhang with each step, but the "speed" is not fast. It was as if the earth had shortened beneath his feet, and it was filled with a wonderful sense of mystery.

And if one looked at him from a distance, he would see that he was almost flying on land, and his figure was so fast that it almost turned into a gust of wind.

This is one of the abilities that will naturally be cultivated after returning to the basics, shrinking the ground into inches.

It's not just a true master who can shrink the ground, if you specialize in cultivation, many innate masters can also do it. But if you want to walk in this way, there is no additional consumption at all, just like ordinary walking, you must cultivate to the level of returning to the basics.

Only by completely restraining and condensing one's own strength, and there will be no unnecessary leakage, can one launch this mastery when walking every day.

Pan Long walked on the road without hurry, enjoying the scenery on the side of the road as he walked.

It's late March, and it's spring season. Birds and flowers are everywhere along the Tongtian River, you can often see a piece of orchards, red, white and pink flowers bloom very brilliantly, sometimes the roadside is a fruit grove, when passing by, a gust of wind blows, many petals fall in a row, as if walking in the pink drizzle.

"I remember that there were several famous cherry blossom avenues in my previous life, but when I was young, I had no money and no time to travel, and when I was older, I had money and time, but I was no longer in the mood to travel...... I remember that there is a 'Falling Sakura Mountain' in Qingzhou, which was built by Zhao Shengwenchao back then, and if you have the opportunity, you must go to see it. ”

He muttered to himself, so low that even those who were close at him could hear him.

In addition to sweeping the world and establishing the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhao Sheng and Wen Chao also left many famous landscapes.

Luoying Mountain in Qingzhou is one of them.

Wen Chao likes cherry blossoms, and after the world was first decided, he replaced dozens of trees on the mountains with cherry blossoms in Qingzhou, and also used spells to form a cycle of local leylines to protect the mountains.

Ordinary cherry blossoms only bloom once a year, but the cherry blossoms on those mountains are continuous, and they bloom from one mountain to another, and they never stop all year round.

Walking on the mountain road during the flowering season, the cherry blossom petals continue to fall around you, and the scenery is beautiful and full of poetry.

Hence the name "Mt. Sakura", which is one of the scenic spots in Bactria and Kyushu.

Pan Long wasn't very interested in scenery before—he wasn't the travel freak and food maniac of Han Feng, but at this moment, when his heart moved, he couldn't help but want to go to Luoying Mountain to have a look.

That is Wen Chao's gift to future generations, if he goes to take a look, uses spells to leave some images as a record, and waits until the dragon slaying treasure is opened again, he will take it to Wen Chao to see, he must be very happy.

It should be a great pleasure to see that the things you left behind in the past are loved by future generations.

After walking for a few days, the weather suddenly changed.

It rained for two days in a row, and the weather was getting colder. On the morning of March 26, he looked through the window of the inn and even saw a layer of ice in the courtyard of an empty house nearby.

This made Pan Long wonder that the spring and March should have warmed up in an all-round way, except for the bitter cold areas such as the high mountains and the northland, there should be no more frost in the land of Kyushu. Why is it that this place that is about to reach the boundary of Yangzhou is actually frozen?

In the hall downstairs, he heard some guests complaining, "It's almost April and it's still freezing, it's unlucky."

The guy replied, "No, I haven't heard of it freezing in April!"

"Don't talk about you, old man, I've lived for more than fifty years, and I've never seen anything like this. The innkeeper said, "Even if it's over there in Youzhou, the ice and snow are almost melting this season, and farming has begun......."

Pan Long nodded slightly, the spring ploughing in the north is generally in April. It's the end of March, and it's time for even the Northland to prepare for spring planting.

In his impression, if the weather is warmer in a year, at this time, Dingfeng Town has already melted the snow and thawed, and the fields and sowing seeds have begun.

Not to mention Jing Yang, the wheat in the field has already grown very lushly.

Such a cold snap must be very detrimental to agriculture.

I am afraid that this year's summer grain harvest will fail, and I don't know if there will be a famine? If there is a famine, how should the imperial court provide relief?

As he continued the trail, he was thinking about these questions.

But his thinking was clearly not working, and to make matters worse, the weather continued to get colder.

On the night of March 27, when he settled in Hengyang City at the foot of Hengshan Mountain in western Yangzhou, heavy snow even fell in the sky.

At first, it was just a small snowflake or two, but it soon fell bigger and bigger, and then the goose feather snowflakes were overwhelming, and soon the trees were on the hills and the houses were on the ground...... It was white everywhere, and time seemed to be back in the middle of winter, and the sky and the earth were vast.

The travelers in the inn couldn't help but curse this ghost weather, they came out to travel, the emphasis is on traveling lightly, in addition to the necessary things, it would be better to bring less, who would carry winter clothes with them!

Tomorrow, before you set off on the road, you will have to go to the second-hand clothes shop to buy a few winter clothes, which is an extra expense.

And depending on the weather, the second-hand clothes shop will definitely take the opportunity to increase the price, and a winter coat will cost several times the usual money.

What's even more infuriating is that now it's almost April after all, and no matter how cold the weather is, it can't be cold for a few days, which is equivalent to spending an extra amount of money for nothing!

A scholar couldn't help but whisper: "If there is an abnormality in the sky, there will be demons." Snow drifting in late spring, this is the sky warning you!"

"Heaven warns, why does God want to alert us?" Pan Long asked curiously.

The scholar looked left and right, lowered his voice a little, and said, "Above the court, the fierce star is mighty." Righteous men and gentlemen all retreat, and obscenity will be all over the world. This is why the heavens are warning. ”

Only then did Pan Long understand what he meant—didn't he want to oppose Di Luonan's change of law.

He couldn't help laughing: "No matter how capable Prince Luonan is, he is not qualified to let God issue an alarm." He's just a true grandmaster, and he hasn't even been able to achieve immortality. ”

The scholar shook his head and said very seriously: "Personal strength is just a trivial matter, the resources mastered and the size of the influence are the key. Could it be that Taizu had cultivated in the past? But is he qualified to go to the Heavenly Phenomena?"

Pan Long couldn't refute this, he couldn't say: "Zhao Sheng senses a ghost's celestial phenomenon, especially he is not from this world......"

Moreover, Zhao Sheng really didn't have to "sense the celestial phenomena" back then-Wen Chao has the Kyushu Ding, which can change the flow direction of the heaven and earth vitality and the earth qi veins, and it is easy to get some celestial phenomena out.

With the festival of these two people, it is natural to toss some heavenly rain and ghosts to cry at night, but it is strange not to do this.

He had no choice but to nod: "Well, well, you're right. ”

Successfully refuted Pan Long, which made the scholar very proud, he chuckled, made a look of "the son can be taught", and continued: "The Seven Killing Stars are murderous in the imperial court, and even the Son of Heaven is bewitched by it, and there are signs of perverse behavior. Although thanks to the efforts of the princes of Gungon, the disaster has just begun, and only Qingzhou and Xiazhou are currently suffering, but as long as they are not completely defeated, sooner or later he will expand this disaster to the entire Kyushu!"

He talked about it, worrying about the country and the people: "I don't know how severe the celestial phenomena will be at that time, and how much suffering the common people will encounter!"

Pan Long laughed dryly, feeling that it was difficult to catch up on these words.

It's just that it's snowing in the twilight of spring, so what do you have to do about national policy? Aren't you the old party of the legendary Song Dynasty, drought is also the pot of Wang Anshi's reform, earthquake is also the pot of Wang Anshi's reform, and even a meteorite falling from the sky has to be carved on it to frame the slander and change the law?

This set is so old-fashioned!

Before he could answer, a young swordsman on a table next to him was unhappy, and said: "Di Luonan's change of law will bring great benefits to the country and the people, if it is really inducted by heaven, it should also rain auspicious rui!"

"Yes, I also heard that during this time, there were several auspicious places in the Xiazhou area. At the other table, someone said, "What kind of horse grows horns, what hen crows, what duck loses its feathers and turns into a swan, and what mushrooms grow into reishi mushrooms on the edge of the field...... That's all auspicious!"

The scholar was besieged by two people, and he suddenly became angry, and his voice became louder: "You are really ignorant! The horse grows horns and the peony becomes male, that is a bad omen! As for what duck turns into a swan and mushroom becomes a lingzhi, it is just a trick in the rivers and lakes, and the entertainer who goes through the tricks of the rivers and lakes, which one will not?"

He pointed to the heavy snow that was blowing outside the door and said in a loud voice: "But look at this day! Look at this snow! Can this be faked? This is what God means, and it is the best evidence of the heavens' warning!"

"How can the sky be so boring...... "At the same table of the swordsman, a girl with a sword on her back muttered, "The world is so big, don't you worry about this little thing?"

The scholar almost jumped to his feet: "You are really ignorant, don't you know the truth of 'heaven and man induction'? If the heavens and mortals really have no sense, where can mortals cultivate to become immortals?"

The two young men of the rivers and lakes were suddenly startled, you look at me, I look at you, and their expressions became a little suspicious.

After a moment, the girl asked in a low voice, "Celestial induction...... Is that what happened?"

"How do I know?" replied the young man, "My master is only a congenital ......."

But what he said ...... Seems to make some sense. ”

The young man also nodded, looking at the heavy snow outside, showing a worried look.

The theory of celestial and human induction can be regarded as an undoubted truth in Kyushu - after all, in this world, masters who have cultivated to such a realm are real, and there is no shortage of people who have even further cultivated to become immortals.

If according to this scholar's statement, the current heavy snow in late spring is felt by the sky because of the perverse actions of the world, then doesn't it mean that Di Luonan's change is really angry and resentful?

"That's not right...... The people are still very supportive of Prince Luonan's policy of changing the law. The traveler who introduced Xiangrui before said, "I have traveled to several places, and everyone supports the change of the law. ”

"That's just that you're short-sighted and can't see the long term!" the scholar won again, and was even more proud, almost cocking his nose, and said proudly, "After all, you don't read much and don't know enough." ”

"Then you have read a lot and have a lot of knowledge, you can give us a brush, and let us open our eyes?" the man came over and poured him a glass of wine, "This glass of wine, even if I make amends to you." ”

The scholar drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll explain it to you clearly." ”

Next, he told a lot of bad things about the transformation of the south of the Dillo.

And his views are mainly focused on the aspect of "intensifying contradictions".

"Mr. Taiqing has clouds, if you cook a small fresh food in a big country, you must be careful and don't turn it easily. He drank as he spoke, and finally got a little drunk, saying, "The Seven Killing Stars use the problems existing in the imperial court as a wedge, and on the surface, they want to solve the problems for the imperial court. In fact, he wanted to intensify the contradictions between all sides, arouse dissatisfaction among all sides, and eventually provoke war. ”

"Today, although it is not a peaceful and prosperous world, at least it is stable. Even if there are some problems, we should start with the most urgent and revise them little by little. Change it a little this year, change it a little bit next year, and spend thirty or fifty years revising and perfecting it one by one. ”

"But how could the evil star choose a safe and harmless solution? You must know that it came to the world, not to make the world peaceful and peaceful, but to destroy the lives of the people!"

He stood up, settled the account, and staggered to the door with a wine jug: "Don't look at his situation now, he looks like a lively scene of flowers and fire, but when all the contradictions break out, the world will be divided in Kyushu and the people will be displaced...... At that time, you will know that no matter how bad the court is today, it is much stronger than war. ”

"I have a word to warn you: I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world!"

With that, he walked out of the inn and staggered into the snow, gradually disappearing.

Inside the inn, everyone was silent.

After a long time, someone muttered, "Is it really that bad?" ”

"yes, yes. Immediately, someone chimed in, "This scholar is just pretending to be amazing, and the reader likes to scare people like this!"

Everyone agreed, and the atmosphere soon became lively again, and what the scholar had just said was like a gust of wind, which had disappeared without a trace.

But until Pan Long went back to his room to sleep, he kept muttering in his heart.

What even an ordinary scholar can foresee, can the high-ranking officials of the imperial court really not see?

Even if the high-ranking officials of the imperial court can't talk about him, can it be said that Emperor Renchen can't see it?

Why was Di Luonan's overly radical reform plan recognized by everyone and started to be implemented?
