Chapter 90: Breaking the Peace
The flashlight shook slightly, and although it lasted for a short time, it could also indicate that it was an earthquake just now.
To be on the safe side, they got up and put on their clothes, walked away from the cave, and walked back the way they had come.
"Master Ming." Back in the backyard, Wen Qizhou called Ming Zhang, who was walking in the front: "Is there a volcano near here?" β
"Nope."
Ming Zhang suddenly remembered that they had said that there was an undersea earthquake in Lianjiang and a tsunami was triggered.
He paused slightly, turned his head to look at the people staring at him, and wrinkled his eyebrows: "However, there is a sea in the southeast. β
"How far is it from us?"
"Five or six hundred kilometers."
"If there is a tsunami, our mountain will not be affected, right?" When Xie Changxiao thought of the picture of the tsunami hitting the Lianjiang base, his scalp was numb.
"No, it won't."
"That's good." He patted his chest, his straight back relaxed, "I really don't want to experience it again." β
"You've had a tsunami before?" Ge Huai looked at his frightened expression, really curious about their original experience.
"yes."
He recounted the situation.
Due to the different routes of escape, the Ge family brothers and sisters and Chi Yunyan had never stayed in the coastal area, let alone witnessed the process of the tsunami in the Lianjiang River.
Chi Yunyan: "It's scary! He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him instead: "If there is a tsunami caused by an undersea earthquake this time, the entire Source City will have to be flooded, right?" β
"Qingyang is also possible."
"The man under the mountain ......"
"Don't think about it without a shadow." Ming Zhang interrupted them in time and said a few words of relief: "Let's all go back and rest." β
The crowd stopped talking.
They washed up and went back to their rooms, fearing that the earthquake and tsunami would strike again, and they didn't dare to sleep too hard.
Fortunately, the expected scenario did not materialize.
But after a false alarm, they cherish the peaceful life of the Taoist temple even more, and they are not tired of it day after day, but under the influence of the polar night, the biological clock becomes chaotic, even if they do not sleep, change the habit of reversing day and night, and after a period of time, they return to their original state uncontrollably.
After repeating this for half a year, the polar night has not ended, but an earthquake with a slightly higher magnitude has broken the peace of the Taoist temple.
"Bangβ"
The crisp sound of porcelain breaking and the collision of wooden tables and chairs resounded throughout the temple.
Wen Qizhou, who was awakened, hugged Chi Yue, who was snuggled in his arms, suddenly got up and put on the coat on the back of the chair.
They stepped on the shaking ground, endured the feeling of dizziness and discomfort, and hurried to the clearing in the backyard.
"Yueyue, give me another flashlight." The area illuminated by a flashlight was too limited, and he feared cracks.
Chi Yue took one from the space and gave it to him.
While they carefully observed the ground, Ming Zhang and the others walked up to them one after another, subconsciously forming a circle.
The sound of objects colliding lingered in their ears, and they followed the light, holding their breath and not moving.
"Are you still shaking......" Chi Yunyan clutched Xun Song, who was unsteady, and felt that his eyes were spent.
"Doesn't seem to be shaking?"
"The magnitude of the earthquake is a bit high." Ge Qinyao hugged Ge Huai's arm, and the accelerated heartbeat still couldn't be calmed.
"It's estimated that there are five or six levels."
"It's much lower than the earthquake in Heyuan, at least there are no cracks." Xie Changxiao guessed that there would be aftershocks, turned around and brought a pile of firewood over, and lit a fire in the yard.
The rest of the people went back to the main hall to get wooden stools, and Yun Qi came out with a bag of sweet potatoes and told them to roast them in the fire for a while.
Chi Yue yawned: "What time is it?" β
"Two o'clock in the afternoon." Recently, they have reversed the day and night, gathered in the main hall last night to play all night, and slept at 8 o'clock this morning.
Wen Qizhou moved behind her.
He held the wooden comb, pulled up her long hair hanging down at the side of her shoulder, and gently brushed her hair in the faint light.
The long black hair brushed the back of his hand like satin, and he rubbed a strand around his fingertips twice, and his palm covered her shoulder and neck, massaging her.
Chi Yue leaned back comfortably, her back against his gentle chest, and squinted slightly at the flickering firelight.
She couldn't see the doting in his eyes, but the brothers and sisters Xie Changxiao and Ge Huai, who were sitting opposite them, could see it all.
Ge Huai sighed: "Dog food is not delicious." β
Xie Changxiao: "You haven't gotten used to it yet?" He grabbed the twig, pulled out the sweet potatoes from the fire, and set them aside to dissipate the heat.
ββ¦β¦ I'm just jealous. β
"So you talk about one?"
"Talking to ghosts?" There are only three women in the Taoist temple, two of whom have families, and the rest is his sister.
"It's not impossible." Xie Changxiao raised his chin in the direction of Ming Zhang: "You ask Master Ming to catch one for you." β
Ge Huai: "......"
Mingzhang: "......"
Chi Yunyan, who was listening to their conversation on the side, asked Ming Zhang curiously: "Speaking of which, Taoist priests seem to be able to catch ghosts?" β
"Not necessarily."
"Will you, then?"
"Yes, yes, but I haven't caught it." What he meant was that there wasn't that now, at least not that he hadn't.
"Where's your master?"
"Not either." Seeing that they were really interested, Ming Chang talked about the supernatural events that had happened in his ancestor's generation.
Chi Yue was interested.
She listened to the hand that Qizhou wrapped around in front of her, took a bite of the freshly peeled sweet potato, and listened to Mingzhang with relish.
The events he tells are more graphic than the stories they have heard from other people's mouths, making it easy for people to substitute for the perspective of the master and immerse themselves in the ups and downs.
"Just as he took out the three clear bells......"
The sound of the bell of "Jingle Bell" reached everyone's ears in the next second, and Wen Yaxian, who was frightened, screamed.
"What the hell!!"
She threw herself into Yan Shuo's arms, Ge Qinyao was so frightened by her that she held Ge Huai's hand tightly, and Chi Yunyan, who was gnawing on sweet potatoes, shook his hand, and subconsciously approached Xie Changxiao, who straightened his back.
Chi Yue, who was in a state of concentration, was also shocked by the sudden sound of the bell, and his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.
The bell is still ringing.
She relented: "Someone's coming." β
The air was quiet, and their expressions became serious in an instant, and their thoughts were no longer disturbed by supernatural events.
Yun Qi picked up Xun Song, who was still in a daze, and hid in the basement of the main hall as quickly as possible without being reminded by others.
The rest of the men took up their weapons and crossed the corridors on the left and right in two waves in the direction of the main hall.
Chi Yue walked against the wall.
When he found that no one had sneak attacked, let alone climbed over the wall to enter, he had a trace of doubt in his heart when he touched the trap they had set in the past, but he still did not let down his vigilance.
They met with Ming Chang and the others who came from the right outside the main hall, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal there, they walked to the main entrance.
Wen Qizhou asked, "Who's outside?" β
"It's me." A female voice sounded, except for the Ge family brothers and sisters, they could all recognize who each other was by their voices.
