Chapter 12: The Devil's Triangle
According to the results of the negotiation between the six elders in the capital this time, Shushan will send disciples to join the government's various programs, either to assist weapons experts in researching weapons that combine science and supernatural powers, or to participate in astronaut training so that they can fly to outer space to stop black holes in the future. There are more disciples who will select talented cultivators among the people and gather them to teach, so that after all efforts fail, with the final "Moonshot Project", these people will be sent out of the earth by spaceship, leaving the seeds of continuous bloodline for mankind, and the government will also select the top talents in various fields for this plan, so as to ensure that after the earth is swallowed, the various civilizations of mankind can continue.
Hou Yi originally wanted to go to Jinao Island alone to lobby, but everyone was still relieved after all, Jinao Island is not Hou Yi's teacher than Shushan, I am afraid that Shushan is not as good as Shushan. After some disputes, Cheng Shu finally decided to go out in person and go to Jinao Island with Hou Yi. The other five elders stayed behind in Shushan, guarded by the masters who were almost about to cross the catastrophe, and believed that nothing would happen to Shushan.
All the thirteen generations of disciples will go to Beijing with Gu Lin to participate in various studies and trainings. They are all the best in Shushan, although their skills cannot be compared with the six elders, but they are proficient in various spells, and it is more than enough to do this.
As for the task of going to all parts of the country to find the genius of cultivation, all seventy-two disciples of the fourteenth generation should do it, and their task should be the heaviest, and they should travel all over the country within three months to discover as many people as possible, and all the people in China are within the scope of their selection. After hearing Gu Lin say the number of 1.3 billion, these disciples didn't have any other ideas except to sigh that there were so many people now, anyway, it was impossible for everyone to come into contact with them, so they could only do their best. And Hou Yi narrowed down the scope for them, they only needed to search among minors under the age of eighteen, because the older ones were basically past the best age for cultivation. Moreover, the vast majority of minors are now educated in schools, which can also make it easy to gather people from each school, and the efficiency will naturally be greatly improved. As for the adults, they will be selected by the government's elites.
In this way, except for the five elders who stayed behind, everyone in Shushan will start to be busy, and the only three months left on the earth have passed in Hou Yi's slumber, and everything must be fully activated.
Hou Yi also learned about the major events that had happened in the past five days from Gu Lin's mouth.
In the days of his slumber, all the nations of the planet had united and resolved to face the crisis together. Inspired by the formal cooperation between Shushan and the Chinese government, most countries have reached agreements with their own supernatural forces. However, the European countries did not negotiate with the Vatican's Holy See, which stubbornly believed that the black hole was the passage between the earth and heaven, that the Almighty God would carry out a second plan of destruction in three months, and that the people on Earth would only need to wait quietly for the final judgment. God will choose who goes to heaven and who goes to hell. With this in mind, the Holy See simply rejected the EU's proposal for cooperation and stood on the sidelines of the United Earth Front.
The attitude of the Holy See has made the countries of Europe very uneasy, and in the face of a great threat, anyone who does not stand with them may stab himself in the back, which is a truth that everyone knows. What's more, the Holy See still thinks that their master is doing a great thing this time, and anyone who really believes that they will look on coldly must be idiots. However, the countries of the European Union do not dare to use military force to solve the problems of the Holy See, because you must know that the Holy See has a large number of believers in the world, many of whom still hold important positions in the government. In the absence of a solution, the EU can only remain quiet for the time being. Fortunately, the Holy See is still relatively disciplined and has not caused any trouble, so I am afraid that it is also secretly accumulating strength.
Hou Yi knows that this matter must be resolved sooner or later, if the EU is powerless, I am afraid that he and the people of Shushan will have to go abroad once, this is all a later story, and I can't think about it now.

Everything was arranged, and everyone went their separate ways to do their own thing. After Ping Jiao and the other disciples resigned to Cheng Shu and the others, they went down the mountain to go to Beijing with Gu Lin, they would take a plane for the first time, although this kind of monster was not faster than flying by itself, but it was undoubtedly much more comfortable. The disciples of the fourteenth generation did not act immediately, they still need to carry out the most basic studies in order to adapt to the current world as soon as possible, otherwise they don't know how much trouble they will get into trouble.
The common people saw dozens of brilliant rays of light flying down from Shu Mountain, and they all cheered together. In yesterday's news, they all knew that the government and Shushan were going to cooperate - to cooperate with the immortals, which was exciting to think about. The People's Daily published an editorial today, "Living with the Immortals, China Enters the Second Age of Mythology." The title alone is contrary to the usual serious style, and its content makes people feel like they are reading a mythological story, and many young people who have never read editorials read it with relish. On the Internet, the news about Shushan on major portals has been clicked hundreds of millions of times, and various comments and replies have at least tens of thousands of pages. A lucky netizen opened another post, "Today I grabbed the highest penthouse ever!". And these portals are finally getting too much attention, and many servers are on strike, and their situation can be paraphrased many years ago - pain and happiness.
The Chinese government held a press conference to announce much of the cooperation, and even released a video. In the video, Cheng Feng, one of the six elders, as a representative of Shushan, shows a series of eye-opening spells and techniques. Of course, they are all some more fancy and good-looking, such as flying, all kinds of escape techniques, blind eyes, flying swords...... These things will be present Chinese and foreign reporters and the people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV set stunned, if it were not for the fact that Shushan is really hanging next to the golden top of Emei Mountain, I am afraid that everyone will suspect that these are computer stunts.
After the video, the spokesman pointed out that with the full cooperation of Shushan and the government, the spell skills that are more suitable for civilian use will be popularized to the whole society. The government will also increase investment in scientific research and develop new technologies that integrate technology with supernatural powers.
This news immediately made the people of all China cheer, and what could only be done in a dream may be truly realized in the near future. A website then launched a survey, "What spell would you most like to learn?". The results of this survey are expected by everyone, 99.9% of people have chosen the "flying technique", and a very small number of people have chosen the retreat technique, although there are people in this part of the people who are really interested in this spell, but more are thieves, perverts, after all, it is also a very tempting thing to sneak into the women's bathhouse with the retreat technique, but it is difficult to say whether this kind of thing will be popular.
Everything seemed to be very beautiful, and people were stimulated by this once-in-a-old event as if they were collectively drugged and immersed in all kinds of wonderful fantasies. Under the control of various governments, the earth has only three months left to know the news that the people did not know, although some small websites and tabloids that got the news through various channels leaked this matter without knowing whether it was alive or dead, but not many people believed that the Chinese government's press conference also succeeded in diverting people's attention from many recent events, and these guys who were afraid of chaos in the world were also quickly cleaned up.
People are fantasizing about the near future, but they don't know that maybe there is no future for the earth.

In the Atlantic Ocean on the east coast of the United States, there is a Bermuda Island, which is surrounded by the tip of Florida in the United States, plus the eastern end of the West Indies, forming a triangular area, which is the famous "Bermuda Devil's Triangle". Hundreds of ships and planes have crashed in this area, and thousands of people have lost their lives here. Between 1880 and 1976, there were about 158 disappearances, mostly in the 30 years since 1949, and 97 disappearances occurred, with at least 2,000 people killed or disappeared here. These strange and mysterious disappearances are mainly in an area called the "Sargasso Sea" in the western Atlantic, which is full of whirlpools, typhoons and tornadoes. Not only that, but the sea is 4,000-5,000 meters deep, and there is the Puerto Rico Trench, which is more than 7,000 meters deep and reaches a maximum depth of 9,218 meters.
So far, the "Bermuda Devil's Triangle" has been interpreted into two categories: one is that the disappearances are due to supernatural causes, and that they are alien flying saucers. The second group is believed to be caused by natural causes, such as geomagnetic anomalies, ocean floor cavities, and even bubble theory, clear sky turbulence theory, water bridge theory, black hole theory, etc., which are explained by some strange natural phenomena.
And now, this mysterious sea has visitors. Two rays of light, one white and one gray, flew from the distant horizon against the surface of the sea, like two meteors, at a speed of at least ten kilometers per second, deeply separating the sea surface, marking a white sea surface highway.
Above a huge whirlpool with a diameter of more than five hundred meters, two meteors suddenly stopped, but they were two people. Then the sea behind them kept coming together from a distance, stirring up a monstrous wave that rushed towards them with a devastating momentum, but when they reached the edge of the whirlpool, it miraculously subsided, like an inconspicuous splash.
Hou Yi changed into gray clothes representing the thirteen generations of disciples of Shushan, but casual clothes, looked at the whirlpool that was constantly devouring the sea water under his feet, and said to Cheng Shu beside him with emotion: "Uncle Shi, it seems that the silent array is really about to disappear, there was no such whirlpool before!"
Cheng Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm afraid the people of Jinao Island are also trying to find a way to come out, otherwise how could there be such a big movement!"
Hou Yi smiled strangely: "Then let's go down and help them, we have to let them accept our affection." ”
Cheng Shu couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "It seems that Pingyi, you are much more cunning now than before." ”
