Chapter Seventy-Six: Contemplating the Peaceful Disaster (8,000 words)
As the leader, the village chief respectfully put on a pillar of incense.
"Pray that the mountain god will bless my Longyuan Village, and that heavy rain can fall as soon as possible to alleviate the drought, and I Liu Deming is here to thank the mountain god."
All the villagers followed behind the village chief and bowed reverently, "Please, the mountain god, hurry up and make it rain." ”
"If all these crops die, then we won't have any way to live."
"Please be merciful to the mountain god."
All the people knelt on the ground and bowed their heads three times neatly.
Hu Xiaocao looked at everyone, looked up and asked his mother, "Mom, will he hear the mountain god's grandfather?" ”
The woman's eyes were full of tenderness, and she touched Hu Xiaocao's head, "Don't worry, the mountain god will not sit idly by and ignore us, he will definitely be able to hear it." ”
Hu Xiaocao clenched his fists, his eyes were full of newcomers, "Yes, I also believe in Grandpa Mountain God!" ”
"Grandpa Mountain God will definitely bless us through this difficult time."
The festival lasted until midnight, when the villagers returned to their homes to rest.
The villagers were full of hope, but unfortunately the heavy rain they were expecting still did not fall.
The inside of the rice fields had dried up completely, and the deep cracks were like cobwebs, spreading rapidly, and the crops were like fish starved of water, dying at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The earth was constantly scorched, revealing furrows, like wounds that could not be healed.
As the heavy rain continued, the light in the eyes of the villagers gradually went out.
In the face of natural disasters, human beings sometimes seem extraordinarily small and powerless, and there is little they can do but pray silently.
After the sacrifice, it still didn't rain for several days.
The village chief was looking at the weather every day, and he was powerless to smoke dry tobacco, as if this could relieve the anxiety in his heart, remembering what Zheng Cadre and others said last time.
"We can't make it rain all day, but we must remember that there must be no fire, and this is not a joke."
The villagers, who live on the mountain, know very well how terrible a wildfire can be, and it is difficult to extinguish it once it is ignited, especially in this dry weather.
Even the villagers who go to worship the mountain god now are strictly ordered to use incense and candles again, and can only place tributes, the purpose is to bring the fire to the mountain for fear of the wind blowing.
However, what you are afraid of, what you are afraid of, sometimes God just likes to joke so much, people can control it, but natural factors can't control it.
The scorching sun scorched the earth, always dispelling the darkness and bringing a warm red sun, but at this moment it showed a ruthless side.
The mountain stream had dried up, a shriveled frog was lying on a rock, and there were many of the same dead fish in the water, which smelled fishy.
The land creatures can also find a place to cool off, and the unfortunate ones are the frogs and fish.
The lack of water and the yellowing of the rhizomes of the plants caught them off guard even when they were deeply rooted in the ground.
The ground is full of fallen leaves and dead branches, and the moisture in them is evaporated and dried, and the ignition point is very low, coupled with direct sunlight, it forms dots of light on the ground.
Soon a wisp of white smoke floated out, and the leaves instantly became curled, spreading to other combustibles nearby.
The sound of crackling is endless.
Because it is in the daytime, it is in the deep mountains and old forests, far away from people, so it is not inconspicuous.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
As soon as the mountain wind blew, tongues of fire soon swept up, engulfing the dead leaves, and then spreading towards the surroundings with lightning speed.
The mountains were endless, and the place where Ye Qin was located was the largest of them, and there were other small peaks around it.
The location of the fire is the head of the West Mountain, and there is a small peak on the mountain where Ye Qin is located.
With so many combustibles around, coupled with the dry weather, the fire is getting bigger and bigger as soon as the wind blows.
As night fell, Ye Qin went out, and the silver light fell on the earth, and everything was no different from usual. ‘
The bright red snake letter shook uneasily, and a burning smell loomed, although it was very faint, but it was still caught by him.
Ye Qin seemed to have sensed something, and his gaze fell on the northwest direction accurately, "It's a mountain fire!" ”
The worst fears came true, the ground temperature was too high, and the rain never rained, which finally caused a fire.
And looking at this situation, I am afraid that the mountain fire has been burning for a while, "It's bad now, I don't know if the villagers at the foot of the mountain have found it." ”
Ye Qin looked not far away, and a solemnity crossed his snake pupils.
If it is at the beginning, as long as the fire is found, it is relatively easy to extinguish.
However, the fire started in the deep forest, and it was the hottest time during the day, so by the time people found out, it was already too late.
A grizzled man ran towards the village, shouting as if there was a flood beast behind him, and many villagers poked their heads out of their homes.
"Panic, what's going on?"
Someone recognized him as the forest ranger Lao Wu, and hurriedly asked, "Lao Wu, what's wrong with you, why are you so embarrassed." ”
Lao Wu's face was full of traces of smoke and fire, "Oh no, there's a mountain fire!" ”
Everyone was immediately shocked, "How can this be, didn't call the police." ”
"I called 119, but I don't think it will be a while and a half."
It's a winding road to get here, and they're in the middle of nowhere.
Since they were at the foot of the mountain, the place where the fire started was relatively high, and it was on another mountain. So from the perspective of the villagers, they can't see it, and if it weren't for Lao Wu's report, they wouldn't even know about it.
"Now let's put out the fire."
The person who heard this couldn't help but roll his eyes, "This is a mountain fire, even if our whole village is combined, it can't be extinguished." ”
Although there are fire extinguishers in the village, there are not many, and it is okay to extinguish a small fire, and they do not have professional props, so everyone can only be helpless.
"Then what's the matter now, you can't just stare at it."
The village chief is highly respected, or he has insight, and immediately ordered: "Lao Wu, you lead some villagers to the periphery to pay attention to the situation of the mountain fire, and remember to protect yourself." ”
"Pillar, Lao Ma, Xiao Wu and you people, go to the highway to show the way, and take the firefighters to the shortcut, so that they don't have to fork the road."
"As for the others, don't get around here, wait for news from the village horn at any time."
In the face of natural disasters, they can only respond to changes with the same.
"Good!"
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
The village chief's gaze fell not far away, full of worry and uneasiness.
The green hills stretched for miles, and they seemed calm here, but the wildfires were so powerful that if they were not controlled, they would probably spread to other hills.
"I hope the fire can be brought under control as soon as possible."
"If the mountain god is really a spirit in the sky, you must bless our Longyuan Village."
Wildfires are so powerful that they are difficult to extinguish because there are so many combustibles around them, but the slightest spark can be revived.
"Tick-Tick-"
The piercing whistle sound not far away sounded like heaven to everyone, and the red car dragged the heavy body slowly, carrying the hope of everyone to extinguish the fire.
The car door opened, and the bright orange and yellow were bright and dazzling, which also slightly calmed the panic caused by the wildfire.
The firefighters were carrying equipment and jumped out of the car with quick movements.
Because there is a rough mountain road that cannot be passed by cars, firefighters and villagers can only carry heavy equipment on their backs and transport them to the mountain by motorcycles or mountain wheels.
Halfway up the hill, the heat wave came to you, but in a matter of seconds, the clothes were wet with sweat and then quickly evaporated.
It was like forming a layer of sticky and heavy armor on clothes, which was melted by the high temperature and then gathered together, and so repeatedly superimposed, that the oppressive crowd was almost out of breath.
Tongues of fire swept upward, almost lighting up most of the sky, and red and orange lights intertwined, like monsters with teeth and claws, constantly demonstrating towards the firefighters.
Fire captain Qian Qixue immediately decided, "The first team is responsible for opening up roads, the second team is responsible for erecting water pumps, the third team is responsible for setting up isolation points, and the fourth team is going to investigate the situation to see if it can be extinguished by helicopters."
They were well-trained and quickly mastered the basics.
"The whole line of fire is about 800 meters, burning in a V-shape, spreading to the bottom of the mountain and the west side, the fire is spreading very quickly, and the number is still growing at a terrifying rate."
At this rate, the burned area will only be more.
"The terrain here is complex, and turbulence is easy to form at high altitude of the fire site, which will affect the flight of the aircraft, and the method of extinguishing the fire by the aircraft will not work."
Firefighters quickly got to work, but the wildfires were raging, and their hair was dry and wet, and then steamed dry by the heat again.
The water gun shot straight out like a long dragon, and countless water droplets sprayed out and landed on the flames, making a sizzling sound.
The fire seemed to be getting smaller, but the temperature around it was so high that the water droplets evaporated and the fire returned to its previous state.
At such a high temperature, you can feel the degree of scorching even when wearing protective clothing.
It was also futile to shoot with water cannons, but as long as there was a little spark, it merged with the fire line next to it, and the prairie was ignited again.
The smoke almost completely engulfed the orange, and in the face of the flames, these firefighters on the front line did not flinch.
Their mouths were dry, they were constantly secreting saliva, but their throats still felt like they had knives cut at them.
"No, captain, other effective measures must be taken, and there are not enough people, so we have to ask for support."
The hoarse shouts of teammates were heard over the intercom, accompanied by the whirring mountain wind and the crackling of fires.
Qian Qixue looked at the fire not far away, his eyes were a little solemn.
The terrain here is somewhat complicated, the mountain is high and steep, the hills, the valleys are vertical and horizontal, the ups and downs are obvious, the mountain fire is under the influence of wind speed and slope, and the microclimate is easy to form in the fire field, which affects the development of the fire.
It can even divide multiple strands of intermittent fire lines, spread around, and the shape of the fire is extremely irregular, if the outer line fire and the inner line fire are not clear, it can also produce three-dimensional combustion, which brings great difficulty to extinguish.
He immediately reported the news here, hoping that his superiors would send more personnel.
"The fire here is already about to reach level four, and it may even reach level five in the future!"
The city attaches great importance to this and has opened an emergency plan, because there are many mountains and forests here, and once the whole mountain burns up and spreads to other places, the consequences will be out of control.
The transportation department was dispatched urgently to direct large fire trucks and materials to be transported on various mountain roads to avoid congestion, and at the same time to help with transportation.
The meteorological department has sent people over and set up a logistics team at the scene, not only to observe the conditions of artificial rainfall, but also to provide precise wind direction and wind speed warnings to help firefighters extinguish mountain fires faster.
Sophisticated instruments are placed at safety points, and at the same time, there are continuous delivery of materials.
The wind-powered fire extinguisher on the top of the mountain kept roaring and shaking the sky, and it seemed that even the ground was trembling, and it was bound to fight the fire to the end.
The sound of the pump never stopped, and the sound of the machine was incessant, and the long ribbon of water spread through the mountains.
These things were delivered one after another, and nearly 3,000 sets of forest firefighting equipment participated in this firefighting battle.
Human beings are like small ants, walking through the deep mountains, more than 200 meters of water and heavy materials, which are dragged by their hands and shoulders and transported to the mountains.
The flames are high, the heavy firefighting uniforms, steamed inside and roasted outside, are unbearable, such high temperatures can no longer be detected, only they know what it means to really sweat like rain.
In the face of such a harsh environment and conditions, they never stopped, like a spinning top constantly spinning, almost without even having time to drink saliva.
Sweat slid down his cheeks and evaporated without wiping,
The bright yellow gathered in the mountains and forests, like an orange river, but it was still too weak compared to the flames of the surrounding sea.
As time goes by, the situation is still not optimistic.
It was already daytime, and to add insult to injury, the scorching heat once again enveloped the land, making it more difficult to extinguish the wildfires.
The red sun hanging in the sky does not seem to know the suffering of the earth.
With the blessing of such weather, the temperature in the mountains and forests has reached a terrifying number, breaking through the three-digit mark.
Even the firefighters' boots were melted and their feet were burned, and even professional protective clothing could not withstand such temperatures.
They are mortal bodies, and even if they have an iron will, they will still hurt and hurt.
Moreover, due to the high temperature, some people also have the phenomenon of heat stroke and fainting, and the water inside and outside the body is constantly evaporated, and it cannot be replenished in time.
The mood of everyone on the mountain was not heavy, and they even regarded this as the last mission.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain could already see the light of the fires not far away, even during the day, with thick smoke billowing and the smell of scorching in the air, rushing towards them.
With the transportation of countless personnel and fire-fighting equipment here, everyone has a feeling of unease.
"Do you think this fire can be extinguished?"
"There are so many firefighters here, and there are such big machines, they should be able to extinguish them."
"But I think this fire is quite big, the mountain fire is too fierce, this is not certain, what if it can't be extinguished."
When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent.
If it can't be extinguished, then the mountain fire can only continue to burn, and the entire mountain will be burned down, and after there is nothing to burn, it will naturally be extinguished.
But the point is that there are several mountains in the vicinity, and there are villages at the foot of the mountains, and no one can guarantee that when the wind blows, the sparks will fall elsewhere and start burning again.
"Phew, you crow's mouth, the wildfire will definitely be extinguished."
The villager who said that just now also realized his gaffe, "Yes, yes, yes, I just said it casually." ”
The fire on the mountain is too big, and in order to ensure safety, only professionals can operate it, and even if the villagers want to help, they can only help transport the supplies, and they can't stay too long.
A group of villagers had just come down from the mountain, and they were even more sweaty from the smoke that drifted over.
"What's going on in the mountains?"
The villagers transporting the supplies glanced at each other with a somewhat solemn expression, "The situation is not good, the fire on the opposite mountain is so big." ”
Hearing this, everyone's mood sank to the bottom, and they could only pray in their hearts that it would rain soon, even if it was a light rain, even if it could not extinguish the wildfire, at least it would prevent the situation from getting worse.
It's a pity that there is only a dry wind blowing in the air, without any moisture, restlessness, and all kinds of emotions are intertwined in the hearts of everyone.
The scorching sun brought greater difficulties to the fire extinguishing operation.
"If we can do artificial rainfall, combined with our surface work, it can greatly relieve the pressure."
Hearing Qian Qixue's words, the meteorologists looked bitter, "It's not that we don't want to, but we can't, after testing, there are no conditions for artificial rainfall to form here." ”
The most important thing for artificial rainfall is to have suitable cloud masses with a thickness of more than 2,000 meters, a lack of ice crystals but abundant water vapor.
Now the sky is clear, and even if there are clouds, the clouds are thin and do not meet the conditions for artificial rainfall.
"Then if it's not artificial, is it likely to rain normally?"
The meteorologist still shook his head, "The probability is almost zero, according to the latest detected celestial phenomena, there will be no rain in the next few days." ”
Everyone was worried, artificial rain was not working, and with the information fed back from the front line, Qian Qixue made up his mind, "Notify and implement the burning tactic." ”
The ignition tactic is commonly known as "extinguishing fire with fire." ”
The fire is artificially lit and docked with the forest fire burning in the opposite direction, so that the joint is suddenly hypoxic and loses the burning conditions.
To put it in layman's terms, it is to burn the combustibles in advance, and after burning them, there will be no combustibles when the fire spreads, and the two fires will be automatically extinguished after they meet, and finally supplemented by manpower.
This is a common means of dealing with forest fires, which can control large-scale fires efficiently, quickly and as soon as possible.
"Will it be too dangerous, affected by the terrain and climatic conditions, there may be local eddies, and the wind direction is uncertain, which can easily lead to sudden changes in forest fire behavior, and it is difficult to accurately predict the spread of fires."
Objections were raised.
"All kinds of fire extinguishing methods have been used before, all things considered, only this is feasible, if no measures are taken against the spread of the wildfire, it is very likely to take advantage of the trend and affect the people!"
A wave of unevenness has risen again and again.
Soon, a surveyor ran over in a panic.
"Oh no, now the wind over there has changed to the wildfire, it was originally a northwest wind, but now it has become a southeast wind, spreading towards our mountain!"
The fire in the mountains is changing rapidly, and if their mountain also burns, no matter how much they have to go to heaven, it will not help.
Qian Qixue immediately decided, "Start the burning tactics immediately!" ”
He took out a map of the mountain and pointed to the southeast.
"The first and second teams carry out ignition in the front, once the fire is too small, use a wind fire extinguisher to help burn, and if the fire is too large, it will be suppressed with a water pump to ensure that the ignition of the fire spreads in the predetermined direction and ensures that the fire is under control."
"The third or fourth team is responsible for responding in the back, and if there is a situation, pay attention to improvisation, even if it can't completely extinguish the wildfire, it must not be allowed to continue to spread!"
Everyone carried out their homework in an orderly manner, hoping that this time it would be useful.
Hu Xiaocao's mother and daughter at the foot of the mountain, because one is weak and the other is young, they can't help much, so they can only take water and distribute it to everyone, which can be regarded as a little effort.
Watching the tongue of fire sweeping across the sky, both mother and daughter were a little uneasy.
Hu Xiaocao's gaze fell into the distance, worried about Ye Qin's safety, "Grandpa Mountain God won't be fine." ”
"Don't worry, the mountain god master is very capable, and there will be nothing wrong."
"Grandpa Mountain God is so powerful, why can't he extinguish the fire, is it because he used too much mana before?"
Looking at Hu Xiaocao's guilty and self-reproachful look, the woman also felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
No one wants to see wildfires happen, but sometimes natural disasters cannot be avoided and cannot be controlled by humans.
"Good boy, it's none of your business, the mountain god is so kind, he must want to help, but he is not omnipotent."
Hu Xiaocao remembered the small animals he had seen in the forest, the mountain god could escape, but what about those small animals?
Ye Qin, who was remembered by the mother and daughter, was wandering in the mountain next door to investigate the situation.
At this moment, the wildfire has begun to spread to the next mountain, and if the wildfire is not controlled, I am afraid it will spread to the mountain where he is.
Tongues of fire swept upwards and soared into the sky.
The sky was burned red, like a great furnace that imprisoned the creatures in the mountains.
Ye Qin saw with his own eyes that the fire revealed a hideous red face, devouring a small animal that had no time to escape.
The scorching smell of the fur is accompanied by the sound of crackling and the wailing of animals.
The little animal also seemed to see Ye Qin, and stretched out its front paws humanely, as if he wanted to ask him to save himself, but the fire was fierce, and it turned into a charred corpse in a blink of an eye.
Corpses like this can be seen everywhere.
Ye Qin couldn't help but sigh, "Life and death are fateful."
Thick smoke billowed all around, like a shadow cast by death, and poisonous gases erupted everywhere.
The original mountains and rivers were either covered by fires or covered with a layer of black smoke, and they no longer had the same vibrant appearance as before.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is purgatory on earth, and the animals are mourning all over the wilderness, and there are charred furs and bodies everywhere.
The animals had nowhere to run, no way to escape, and even if they escaped the fire and inhaled too much carbon dioxide, they finally couldn't hold it anymore and staggered down.
In the fire, in fact, the most lethal is the carbon dioxide, and other toxic gases, followed by the high temperature fire.
The fainting creature was engulfed by the fire that followed, and a fresh life was fleeting.
The fire dragon went on a rampage, ravaging the entire mountain forest with a devastating force, and no creature was spared wherever it went.
The trees that covered the sky and the sun slowly fell, leaving only charred shells and faint wails, and the ground was all black and horizontal, and the traces of flames burning.
Because Ye Qin's body has been forged and tempered, coupled with the blessing of cultivation, he has a certain high temperature tolerance, and he also has resistance to these poisonous smokes.
But other animals were not so lucky.
Along the way, many charred corpses came into view, and the whole scene looked shocking.
The fire has already burned two mountains, and if it continues, I am afraid that the casualties will be even greater.
Although it has not yet burned Ye Qin's mountain at this moment, according to this trend, it is a matter of time or time.
All kinds of tragic situations kept being staged in front of Ye Qin, but he was not shocked, but he was a little embarrassed.
Among these small animals, even a small number of them have come to worship themselves, and they have also bathed in the moonlight.
However, the cycle of life and death, the world is impermanent, and it will turn into charcoal in the blink of an eye, and it can only be said that life and death are between the lines.
But such wildfires are a disaster for animals, more accurately, for the ecology of the entire mountain range.
In this mountain fire, I'm afraid that except for Ye Qin, no creature can be spared.
Regarding the understanding of life and death, Ye Qin seems to have a deeper understanding.
God is also merciless at times, it is not against any living being, but everything has its own destiny.
From the beginning to the end, it is often only an instantaneous thing, and no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
Ye Qin didn't want to interfere, because whether it was a human or an animal, it should be treated equally.
Heaven is unkind, and all things are used as dogs.
The meaning of this is that God is fair, and all things are treated equally.
Ye Qin was also reluctant to meddle in this kind of thing, because there was no cause and effect involved.
However, the wildfire affected not only these creatures, but also himself.
His own cultivation progress will also be messed up because of this mountain fire.
Of course, Ye Qin can just leave, but it's a big deal to change places and continue to cultivate.
But what will happen to the bones in the cave, will they really be burned in this fire?
"I stepped into cultivation because of the white bones, if I let it be consumed by the flames, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial to my cultivation."
Under the reflection of the fire, the snake letter seemed to become even more red, and the snake pupil also turned into a straight vertical line, imprinting the fire not far away.
Ye Qin seemed to have made up some kind of determination, he would never allow his Origin Visualization to be burned up by the fire, so he had to do something.
"It's a pity that I didn't have the magic power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and I couldn't turn into a dragon and extinguish this fire."
If the ability can be a little stronger, maybe it will be.
Ye Qin looked up at the sky, "It would be nice if there was a heavy rain at this time, is there really no way?"
The sun was shining, the clouds were long, and there was no sign of rain.
Looking at the meager clouds in the sky, there was a flash of inspiration in Ye Qin's mind at this moment.
Thinking back to the previous events, he remembered that the first thunder tribulation came just after he broke through the second realm and visualized the moon.
"Perhaps...... Is this possible? ”
"Visualize the thunderstorm and extinguish the fire!"
Thinking of this, Ye Qin seemed to have a clear understanding, no longer hesitated, and immediately turned around.
When he returned to his own mountain, he hovered over the stone, half of his body standing upright, obviously in a state of preparation for visualization!
Although the fire had not yet burned, the small animals had already sensed something, and they ran out of the cave and headed down the mountain, gradually converging into a river of different colors.
Some of the creatures were gray-faced, and most of their fur was scorched, apparently barely picking up a life from the fire on the mountain next door.
But there weren't many of them, and most of the creatures died in the fire.
As the fire spreads, these animals will also run for their lives until they can't reach the wildfire.
The birds are lucky, but it's hard for these beasts to outrun the raging fire.
Looking at the firelight in the distance, all the scenery was submerged in thick smoke, Ye Qin's mentality gradually fell into peace, and once again returned to his previous appearance without sorrow and joy.
The mountain fire has devoured too many lives, if he chooses to visualize the mountain fire, I am afraid that it is easy to get angry and resentful, which is not beneficial to Ye Qin's cultivation, and he does not want to visualize the flames.
Although the situation is urgent now, he will not just find a visualization object to fool himself and fool the heavens, which is disrespectful to the path of cultivation and irresponsible to himself.
Ye Qin looked up at the sky, and the words of the sun seemed to be a good choice.
And he had already visualized the moon, and it stands to reason that he could now visualize the sun as well.
But as I said before, the sun's brilliance is too hot, and its strength is extremely domineering, and it is easy to burn itself, Ye Qin wants to be absolutely sure and then visualize the sun.
But if you visualize...... What about it? ”
"The power is infinite, and the power is just to the yang!"
Thinking of this, Ye Qin seemed to have some thoughts, and his heart was very moved, and he was rarely slightly excited.
In that case, the first step is to visualize the clouds. ”
Based on his thoughts, judging from the current situation, Guanyun is the most suitable.
Ye Qin found a place with relatively high ground, the mountain fire had not yet spread at this time, and there was enough time for him to contemplate.
He discarded his distracting thoughts, as if turning into a bluestone, looked at the meager clouds above his head, and fell into deep thought.
The sky is clear, and there are not many clouds, and it can even be said that they are thin.
If you ignore the scene where the fire is burning.
Under the blue sky, that leisurely white cloud, floating under the sky, the scenery looks good.
All the animals in the mountains and forests are exhausted, trying to escape from the sea of fire, but Ye Qin is calm here, as if it has become a small world of its own.
The white clouds are eternal, and they can be found both day and night.
Clouds are the tangible result of the vast water cycle on Earth.
Water evaporates to form water vapor, and once the water vapor is supersaturated, water molecules gather around the fine dust in the air, and the resulting water droplets or ice crystals scatter sunlight in all directions, which gives the appearance of clouds.
Compared with the dazzling sun, moon and stars, and widely known, it may seem inconspicuous, but it seems to be everywhere, and it is closely related to human life from ancient times to the present.
The ancients would look at the sky with the clouds, and not only that, but they would also draw maps of the weather.
Clouds and phenomena do meteorology.
As early as the time of Emperor Yao, a full-time astronomical officer was set up to specialize in "observing time".
The oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in China have been weathered phenomena such as wind, rain, snow, clouds, rainbows, and thunder, which shows that the earliest human beings attached great importance to the weather.
Divination is even used to predict the weather, which is closely related to clouds.
From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to find a variety of maps of folk record cloud maps.
There are "Guozhang Guanneon Clouds and Rain" in the "Han Shuyi Literary Chronicle", "The Sun and Moon Halo and the Cloud Qi Diagram Zhan" in the classics of the Song Dynasty, and the "Four Gods and Clouds and Qi Map" in the early Western Han Dynasty and so on.
There is a detailed record in the "Occupying Clouds": "Heaven and earth are sensitive, yin and yang are thin, and the qi is called the cloud, which accumulates for a long time to form a cloud, and the shape of the object is below and the qi should be on the top......"
It can be seen that "clouds" are formed by the accumulation of "qi", and "qi" is born from "people".
Ye Qin's visualization of the white clouds is not to visualize another kind of "qi", which is also in line with the third realm of "heaven and earth refining qi."
I don't know when it started, a white cloud floated above Ye Qin's head, casting a small shadow on the ground, and stopped for it
In the dark, it was like an invisible silk thread, connecting Ye Qin with the white clouds above his head.
The mountain wind kept blowing, but this little cloud did not change in any way.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the surrounding clouds are constantly moving closer to it, and then gathering bigger and bigger.
