Chapter 023: Cultivation and Disaster
The moonlight, shrouded in the brilliance of the stars, submerged Jiang Ming's body, and his body was violent, like a white ball of light shining in the night sky.
As he continued to run the practice taught by Meowmeow, his whole body was soothed, and his spirit became more and more high.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of fried beans from the body, accompanied by the violent beating of the heart, the blood and qi flowed rapidly, and there was a faint white mist between the mouth and nose, and at the same time there was a faint fragrance.
The aroma is not strong, but it is very long-lasting, with a fresh, natural taste, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it, which is a very magical phenomenon.
Normally, ordinary people's bodies will have a peculiar smell to a greater or lesser extent, which is related to many factors such as the distribution of bacteria, sebum, and sweat glands.
After death, the corpse will emit a burst of rotting stench, but according to some ancient documents, some ancient monks with advanced Taoism, or when the Taoist monks sat down, they could make the body last forever through special methods, and the corpse would also emit a strange fragrance.
This is true, an archaeological team dug up the tombs of ancient celebrities and found that there was really a wisp of fragrance in the coffin.
Some people think that this is because the ancients were obsessed with immortality, lived in the mountains for a long time, stayed away from the world, and often took pills to discharge acquired filth and maintain the innate body, so this is the case.
Some later scholars believe that when a person is just born, he is an innate body, and he has an innate qi in his body, which is the breath of life and the source of fragrance.
However, there is no one in ten thousand who can keep his body intact, not be polluted by the turbid world, and be pure and dust-free.
Now, Jiang Ming's body is covered with white mist, and the fragrance of his mouth and nose is pervasive between his breath, and he can feel it himself, and the smell is relaxed and pleasant, comfortable and pleasant.
His changes were enough to prove the terrifying nature of this practice, but it only took a little practice to show the signs of this.
With his cultivation, Jiang Ming's life essence was changing, as if he had returned to his innate life from the day after tomorrow, and his life characteristics had become superordinarily active.
After another period of time, Meow Meow seemed to feel that it was almost over, and her body gradually became normal, and she took the lead in ending her cultivation.
Jiang Ming didn't stop, and continued to swallow the essence of the sky, at this time, his body was brilliant, but there was a strange sense of saturation.
And this time Meow Meow didn't stop him, let him practice diligently, there are some things that must be understood by himself to be profound.
Finally, after another period of time, Jiang Ming stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes, his gaze was profound, as if he was understanding his own changes.
He slowly got up, his hands clenched into fists, and a burst of power came, and he felt endless vitality in his body, as if a punch could pierce a rock.
He realized that the body is a water tank, and the water is overflowing, and he must take it step by step, and he can't eat it in one breath to become fat.
Sou!
In the darkness of the night, a figure rushed by, extremely fast, like a violent wind.
It was Jiang Ming, he was pleasantly surprised, after a period of cultivation, his explosiveness and speed had achieved an astonishing increase.
At this time, it was already late, and it was the second half of the night.
Jiang Ming didn't go back to the room immediately, but took Meow Meow to look at the rotten dead wood he had buried first.
Jiang Ming was a little disappointed, the dead wood still hadn't changed, let alone taken root!
He was a little unwilling, and dug the soil again, and sure enough, there was no change underneath, it was still the same.
But the seed of Meow not far away, even if it is buried deep underground, is shining in the soil layer, as if it is gathering the spiritual matter of heaven and earth.
Jiang Ming sighed that Meow Meow had made a lot of preparations for this trip, and most of its seeds had already sprouted and taken root, and in this abnormal environment, it would soon be able to blossom and bear fruit.
Needless to say, he was taunted by Meowth again.
"Let's go, meow, it's time to sleep." Jiang Ming said.
He turned around first, but Meowth stood still.
Jiang Ming turned his head and looked at it suspiciously, only to see Meow Meow looking at the Qingcheng Mountains in the distance.
The mountains stretch and tower, and from time to time the roar of fierce birds and beasts breaks the dull night.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming's body shook.
The earth trembled, and there was a sense of the earth shaking, accompanied by the sound of falling objects.
This movement did not last very long, and it was only when someone woke up from his sleep that it passed.
"What's going on! Was there an earthquake? ”
The town was no longer quiet in the middle of the night, someone yelled.
The whole town was lit up in an instant, and no one dared to sleep with peace of mind.
Jiang Ming found that his parents' room was also lit up, and they yawned and walked out in their coats.
At this time, it is late autumn, although the world is changing, and the temperature is warmer, but it is still not as good as summer.
Jiang Ming began to practice, his whole body was warm, and he didn't feel this temperature difference, but his parents were ordinary people.
"You kid, why are you standing outside in such thin clothes."
Shen Man reprimanded lightly, and then found him a coat to put on.
Although Jiang Ming didn't think it was necessary, in order not to let his parents worry about it, he didn't say much and wore it directly.
The meow meow on the side has bright eyes, still looking in the direction of Qingcheng Mountain, where it is very blazing, there is golden light flying, silver rays blooming, and purple gas steaming.
The upheaval happened again, and it was like a piece of stars falling, driving the vision of heaven and earth.
Even though it was far away, Jiang Ming still clearly felt a sense of oppression, and it rushed straight to his soul.
"There are more mountains!"
Jiang Ming was frightened, looking from a distance, the newly appeared mountains inside Qingcheng Mountain were thousands of feet high, more majestic than before, and there were more inexplicable spaces inside, and there were even more stars and moons behind it.
Jiang Ming was amazed in his heart, and his expression was thoughtful, could it be that there is an unknown starry sky behind the famous mountains!?
In the face of such a scene, people constantly let out screams.
In fact, people feel the earth's crust moving, and the ground is stretched like a sponge, but fortunately this change is not drastic.
But even if it is not obvious, this phenomenon is really happening in the land where people live.
Only Jiang Ming and Meow Meow know that something big will happen here sooner or later, so he must arrange his parents and completely relieve his worries.
Thundered!
Eventually, buildings began to collapse, and that was in the direction of the old town.
Then, the buildings cracked, and some concrete walls fell, causing people to scream.
Jiang Ming and his parents were obviously worried about the people who lived there at this time.
The old town has a history of more than 100 years, with many old buildings and even many dilapidated houses, and once this kind of change happens, it must be the first to suffer there.
Fortunately, the change did not cause a bigger catastrophe and gave people enough time to react.
This night is destined to be sleepless.
Houses collapsed one after another, and the local government attached great importance to it and launched rescue operations in a timely manner.
Jiang Ming watched all this silently, and asked for a cigarette from his father in annoyance.
The sound of all kinds of fears and uneasiness came into the ears, including the cries of women and children, and the pleading voices of the elderly, mixed in the night, constituting a chaotic world in the world.
Jiang Ming's home is in a corner of the town, where the environment was originally comfortable, and the houses were not dense, so there were no safety hazards.
"Mom, Duo'er is so scared!" There are children calling their parents.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you, don't leave Tong Tong alone."
On this night, many children cried in fear in the dark.
Not to mention that they are young, but many adults are panicked and feel hopeless.
In the face of heaven and earth, human beings are so weak and powerless that they cannot compete with it at all.
Jiang Ming knows that many of the people living in that area are left-behind children, whose parents travel all year round to make a living.
On this night, there was a disaster in Panlong Town that had never been seen before.
Jiang Ming said to his parents and ran out to save people, although his people were light, but fortunately, there were not many casualties this time.
Meow Meow also quietly followed behind him.
When the morning came, the original town changed completely.
Most of the buildings in the old area have collapsed, some sections of the road have collapsed and broken, and even the sky has rained heavily, and the disaster has caused a lot of damage to people.
The local government promised that it would do a good job in the aftermath of the disaster, and that it would help everyone rebuild their homes once the situation improved.
Moreover, the order prohibits some merchants from taking the opportunity to make a fortune and make money from the victims.
Jiang Ming's town, although it is not prosperous, has tens of thousands of permanent residents.
Today, these people are all gathered in some open and safe areas, and government officials are constantly reassuring the masses.
Although the disaster proceeded slowly, it killed more than a dozen people and injured hundreds.
Some medical staff are bandaging the injured, and some serious ones are preparing for emergency surgeries and looking for medical equipment that can still be used.
The construction in the surrounding area was seriously damaged, and the gas and electricity were basically unable to be supplied normally, but fortunately, the local government reported the situation in time, and the outside world has begun to organize relevant material reinforcements.
Now people are panicking, although this disaster is not serious, but people are more worried about the future, if this continues, how will ordinary people live in the future?
Jiang Ming even saw from the Internet that some people's hometowns are like spring all year round, and they need padded jackets elsewhere in winter, and they only need a single coat to survive the winter.
But a few days ago, three icebergs suddenly fell from the sky, cutting off the road, and the temperature there plummeted, dropping to tens of degrees below zero Celsius in an instant, and people have little experience in weathering the cold winter.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it is completely untrue in that area!
The earth froze for hundreds of miles overnight, and the ice was two or three feet thick, and I don't know how many old people were frozen to death, and I don't know how many children had frostbite on their faces and bodies, which was simply terrifying.
In other places, a blazing mountain suddenly appeared, the temperature rose sharply, the earth cracked, and the plants withered.
Now that the situation in the outside world is like this, with many visions in various places and serious regions accompanied by disasters, who can say what kind of era will lie in the future?
Therefore, the seemingly splendid revival of civilization is actually brewing behind the tragedy, and people's hearts are gloomy.
Just like their town, it would be fine if they could maintain the status quo, but if they continue to change drastically, I don't know how much disaster it will cause!
"Ladies and gentlemen, it doesn't matter if the house collapses, we still have some safe houses that can be used temporarily, and there are thousands of tents sponsored by businesses, and every family comes to collect them in an orderly manner."
"It's not terrible to cut off water and electricity, we have a few old wells in our town, and there is a clear water river that can be used, as for electricity, we have a factory here and a large power generation equipment."
Some government workers are reassuring people.
Jiang Ming returned home, their area was fine, the house only had a few cracks torn in parts, and it didn't affect much.
Meow Meow was staring into the distance, and a strange purple light emanated from her pupils, as if she had made some major discovery.
"Meow, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ming asked.
Meow Meow didn't say anything to him, but went straight back to the room.
Jiang Ming came to the room and looked at his parents with a sad face, he decided to send his parents to his aunt's house in the countryside first.
He changed his mind, saying that big cities may not be reliable, and in the event of a similar disaster, tall buildings there may be even more dangerous.
It's not appropriate to stay here because it's too close to Mount Qingcheng.
His aunt's house in the countryside was an empty field, quiet and only a hundred miles away, so it would be easy to take care of it even if something happened.
Jiang Ming informed his parents of his thoughts, and his parents nodded after a slight silence.
Soon, his mother, Shen Man, got in touch with his aunt, and they were fairly stable.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ming drove off.
In fact, there are already people who want to get out of here.
"Child, you really don't stay at your aunt's house?" On the way, his mother asked.
Jiang Ming nodded, indicating that he would pay attention to safety.
Along the way, many sections of the road were broken, some construction teams erected emergency bridges, and some sections of the road were turned into dirt roads.
And, along the way, the environment has changed greatly, and suddenly there are more mysterious peaks!
Some of the mountains are bare and extremely silent, and some of the mountains are rich in vegetation and are very amazing.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still some familiar signs in this area, people would really be suspicious of entering another world.
