The next day Yunjing read and practiced calligraphy until noon. Studying also requires a balance between work and rest, so he decided to go fishing to relax, packed up his fishing gear, and went out alone.
When he is alone, he dresses very casually. Coarse linen clothes are very comfortable, absorb sweat and breathable. Although he has no worries in this regard, it is not just talk about being immune to cold and heat.
There were no clouds in the sky, the sun was blazing like fire, and everything on the earth looked a little lifeless in the season when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying.
"Master Yun is going fishing again." A familiar farmer greeted Yun Jing as he passed by the fields.
It can be said that Yun Jing has grown up in this area since he was a child. Many people have watched him grow up and are very familiar with his character. If it were another scholar, they would not dare to speak directly to him.
After so many years, Yunjing has grown up, but many of the familiar faces have grown old, and some can no longer be seen.
"Yes, we are going fishing. Uncle Zhang is busy." Yunjing also greeted him gently.
At that time, Uncle Zhang, who was nearly sixty years old, was carrying a load of water. He had a strong body but a sad look on his face and said: "You are not busy. I don't dare to be idle this season, but... well..., too
I don’t know if I’ll gain anything from being busy.”
If it doesn't rain, the crops in the fields have to be planted. He can only go to distant places to fetch water. As a farmer, he is very sensitive to the climate. The weather is abnormal now, so it's no wonder that he looks sad.
There is no point in saying more comforting words. Yunjing only said: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. It will get better. At least the crops can be planted. It is best that there is no shortage of water now. Besides, there is no need to worry about taxes."
"Yeah, I'm just a little bit tired. If the current situation continues, I should be able to survive this year..."
Within a few words, the two of them had already gone their separate ways. There were many farmers like Uncle Zhang carrying water from a distance in the surrounding area. The sight of Yun Jing made Yun Jing feel depressed. As they passed by, there were countless wet marks on the ground.
Is it caused by the water in the bucket or sweat? It disappeared quickly under the scorching sun.
For farmers, it is very difficult to run out of water. The only good thing is that there is still a place to carry water.
The suffering in the world is hard to explain in just a few words, and it is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in just a few words on paper. People understand far more than just chance through books.
Soon after, Yunjing came to his fixed fishing spot, the same place where he waited for Lin Xingyu last year. However, after arriving here, Yunjing fell silent for a while.
The small river that originally had a small flow of water has now bottomed out. The river exudes an unpleasant fishy smell, and dead fish, shrimps and crabs can be seen everywhere.
Under drought, not only people, but everything is experiencing serious challenges of life and death!
Looking up and down the river, Yun Jing smiled with a complicated expression. Human beings have never lacked wisdom in survival. Occasionally, people can be seen in the river picking up fish from the river trunk, taking them back and making them into salted fish or dried fish.
You can survive at critical moments.
It was impossible to catch fish at this place, so Yunjing moved to another place after staying there for a while.
Then he made the mistake of walking a little further and went directly to the Li River, which was hundreds of miles away. He found a cool and gentle place and started fishing quietly.
The fishing spot he was looking for was inaccessible to ordinary people and was located under a cliff so that no one would disturb him.
"The water level of the Li River has dropped again." Yun Jing said to himself as he looked at the traces left by the drop of water level on the side. Compared with the original normal water level of the Li River, it has now dropped by nearly five meters!
The water level of the Lijiang River, which is dozens of miles wide, has dropped by five meters. This is undoubtedly a terrible figure. It can be imagined what a huge impact it has had on both sides of the river. Reefs that did not originally exist are even faintly visible in the river.
For now, the impact of this slight decrease on the Lijiang River, which can reach up to several thousand meters deep, is not too serious. Well, it is just on the Lijiang River itself.
After thinking for a while, Yunjing simply made a mark on the current water level and would observe it every day in order to record the water conditions of the Lijiang River. This actually did not make much sense.
The fish in the Lijiang River are not easy to catch, and Yunjing has no intention of cheating. Anyway, his purpose of fishing is not that he is here. He just wants to find a quiet place to be alone. It is not a good idea for the Air Force to go back.
Making himself a cup of tea, holding a book, and blowing the river breeze, Yun Jing can live like this for a day. He is just an insignificant person in this world, and it is not his turn to read his heart in matters of right and wrong.
Until noon, Yunjing only caught two finger-sized crucian carp. Who cares, it’s still open for business, right?
Yunjing's senses were sharp, and there was a faint voice coming from above the cliff behind him. Due to the angle, no one above him could see him. He listened carefully for a moment, and the conversation above fell into his ears word for word.
Suddenly he looked dumbfounded.
"Junior sister, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for a while. Are you okay?"
"My good senior brother, I miss you too. Oh, don't worry, I'm almost crushed by you. If you don't feel sorry for me, I still feel."
"It's my fault, but I haven't seen you for so many days. Junior sister, you have to understand me."
"Um..., Senior Brother, when will you take me away? That old thing makes me sick to my stomach every day."
"Junior sister Kuai, you don't know how uncomfortable I feel every day when I think of you still having to serve that old thing."
"You also know that I am always up and down every time. Only Senior Brother, you can make me happy. Well, Senior Brother, hurry up. Yes, that's it. I really want to be with you every day."
"We will be able to be together every day soon..."
"That's right, you can be together every day from now on, you adulterer and silver woman, go to hell!"
…
Love came for a tryst, but he was caught in the act. He probably knew what was going on without looking at Yun Jingguang and listened to his voice. He didn't care about him. No matter who he is, he must bear the consequences for the mistakes he made and what he did.
.
Soon the commotion above calmed down, without affecting the cloud scene at all.
In the afternoon, Yunjing caught another foot-long carp. It was almost time. He packed up and went home with satisfaction. He left the fishing spot and flew high in the sky. He vaguely heard someone calling for help, so he rescued a child who fell into the water.
Control the water of the river to send the child who fell into the water to the riverside.
It was a trivial matter with a little effort, he didn't even show his face, he saved a life, saved a family, he didn't need anyone to thank him, he just wanted the children to remember this lesson in the future, and the adults in his family to take good care of the children.
This day can be said to be boring, but it can be said that it is not boring. I met someone for a tryst by chance and saved a family. Tsk...
After two days of calm, the agreed time came. Yunjing came to Dali Capital again and went directly to Master Deng's residence.
Master Deng was at home this time. Apparently he was waiting for Yun Jing after being informed by Master Deng’s old servant that day.
After some pleasantries, Yun Jing knew that there was little chance of getting an answer from Master Deng, but he still couldn't help but muttered: "Mr. Deng, this junior has been having a doubt in his mind for a while, so he came here to ask for advice.
, I hope Mr. Deng can help the younger generation to clear up their doubts."
"Xiao Jing, you are so impatient, but this is the first time I have seen you. Tell me what you can't understand. But first, don't put too much hope in me for things that you can't even understand.
I can only say that I will try my best to answer you." Master Deng looked at Yun Jing with a dumb look on his face.
After knowing Yunjing for so long, as he said, this was the first time he saw Yunjing so out of control, and he was quite curious. Moreover, Master Deng did not belittle himself by saying that. After all, Yunjing had helped Liu Neng achieve enlightenment.
, the questions raised by Master Deng are not necessarily guaranteed to be answered.
For others, the opportunity to see the Master is simply unimaginable, and should be cherished. However, the doubts in Yunjing's heart have been suppressed for too long, and he can no longer care so much, so he goes straight to the topic:
"Mr. Deng, everyone understands the abnormal climate today, and I won't say much more. The only thing that makes me confused is that droughts were normal in the past, but now there is something wrong with droughts like this. Throughout history, droughts have occurred
It has happened countless times, but since records began, the biggest one only affected half of our country. But this time, it not only affected the whole country of our country, but also the same situation in all the surrounding countries. It can even be said that the whole world is in the same situation.
It's very abnormal to be hit by a disaster. The younger generation can't understand it. Does Mr. Deng know why this is happening?"
After finishing speaking in one breath, Yun Jing looked at Master Deng expectantly. The current disaster was unheard of. It could not be described as abnormal. It could simply be called evil.
Faced with such a situation, Yunjing didn't know who to ask. He just hoped to learn something from someone like Master Deng. If Master Deng couldn't answer it, Yunjing decided not to think about it so much because it didn't make any sense.
.
Hearing what Yunjing said, the smile on Master Deng's face gradually faded away. He did not answer his words immediately, but asked: "Xiaojing, the climate today is abnormal. Everyone knows that something big is going to happen, and the whole world is going to do it."
A major drought is almost unavoidable, but what I want to ask you is, are you asking me because of such a disaster, or have you heard some rumors?"
Yun Jing's heart moved. There was something wrong with what Master Deng said. He must know something. In other words, today's severe drought is definitely not a natural phenomenon!
"This junior only came to ask Mr. Deng because it was so abnormal that the disaster spread all over the world. It was definitely not because he heard any rumors..." Yunjing replied, but paused when he said this and added something.
: "It's not because of rumors in the market that the king is unjust and brings disasters from heaven."
Master Deng nodded when he heard this, but fell silent for a moment. Even though he had lived for hundreds of years, he had long been indifferent to favors and humiliations. At this time, his expression actually changed, as if he was struggling with something.
Seeing this, Yunjing probably understood that the current disaster was definitely not natural, and Master Deng should know something. He thought for a while and said: "It seems that the junior's guess that the drought is not natural is right, Mr. Deng."
There’s no need to be embarrassed, I just don’t ask, I think it’s no longer an issue that I should consider. After all, the purpose of this trip has been achieved.”
Today's severe drought is not natural. Yunjing has already got the answer. As for the root cause, it is not what he should worry about. Next, he only needs to consider how to live under such a disaster. This is not difficult for Yunjing.
, you can’t take care of all the people in the world, there is no problem in living your own life well.
Then Yunjing was about to say goodbye, but Master Deng waved his hand to signal him to be calm.
After a slight silence, Master Deng regained his composure, looked up at the sky and said: "Xiao Jing, there are some things that you and your age should not worry about, because they are meaningless, and even thinking about them too much will only make you feel uncomfortable. Then
This kind of helpless pain, you know it clearly even without me telling you."
Speaking of this, Master Deng showed an extremely bitter expression on his face. Even though the old man tried his best to control it, Yunjing, who was close to Chi Chi, could not help but be affected by him and felt despair, helplessness, grief, and even a kind of self-commitment.
The urge to be freed!
Master in the realm of myth, every move can affect the nature of the world, let alone the emotions of people! If Master Deng had not controlled it well at this time, I am afraid that 90% of the people in the entire capital would have died in inexplicable grief!
Yun Jing did not speak to disturb him, nor could he speak. He tried his best to stabilize his emotions and could barely resist the influence of the emotional fluctuations that Master Deng inadvertently revealed.
Soon Master Deng realized the impact of his emotional fluctuations on Yunjing, and quickly restrained himself. Suddenly, Yunjing felt the pressure relax, and his whole body and mind felt extremely tired. The existence of the mythical realm was too scary.
, even the occasional emotional fluctuations could not be resisted. In front of such a person, Yunjing felt like an ant.
But to put it another way, even Master Deng couldn’t control his emotions. One can imagine how terrible the reason behind this worldwide drought is!
Then Master Deng continued: "That's right, Xiaojing, this worldwide drought is, as you think, not a natural disaster!"
This directly confirmed Yunjing's suspicions about the drought affecting the whole world and the abnormal evil. Even though he had already guessed it, when the facts were put before his eyes, Yunjing was a little unable to accept it.
What is the reason that caused this global disaster? It is not one state or one place, not even one country, but the whole world!
"Xiao Jing, to be honest, I don't know much about the specific causes of this drought. I know so little that I can even say that I only know that it is not a natural disaster and a little bit insignificant." Master Deng said calmly, trying hard
Control your emotions to prevent your own mood swings from causing catastrophe.
Every move in the mythical realm will lead to terrible disasters if not paid attention to, not to mention that this is an important place in the capital.
"Master, if that's the case, let's just pretend that I haven't been here. Just like we said before, it doesn't make any sense even if I know the details of this disaster," Yun Jing said with a long breath.
It's not that I'm escaping, but it really doesn't make any sense.
Shaking his head, Master Deng said calmly: "I don't know much, so it's okay to tell you what I know. It's better than keeping it suppressed in your heart all the time. I know you are a good boy. It would be worse if you went to seek the truth yourself."
I am only harming you. Telling you will dispel your thoughts. Moreover, you are a sensible and good boy. If I tell you, you will not go around talking nonsense. I believe you have this sense of propriety."
"Thank you, Mr. Deng, for your care," Yunjing thanked him from the bottom of his heart. This old man always thought about himself, even considering his possible subsequent actions.
At this time, Yunjing couldn't help but wonder whether it was right or wrong to come to Master Deng this time, because it is not a good thing to get more.
Without getting too entangled in this topic, Master Deng continued: "Xiao Jing, I just told you that I don't know much about the reasons behind this drought. I am definitely not hiding it from you. What I will say next is true.
My mouth has reached your ears, so be sure not to spread it outside, otherwise people are already panicking under the great disaster, and it will only cause greater turmoil!"
"Junior understands," Yun Jing nodded and even felt like he didn't want to hear what he was going to say next. Sometimes it's better to be ignorant.
Master Deng continued: "Xiao Jing, do you still remember those saints' envoys you captured that time?"
Of course, Yunjing remembered the last time that a foreign civilization used special means to arrange a rape. When Master Deng said this, Yunjing immediately focused his eyes and said: "In other words, this global drought has nothing to do with the foreign civilization.
related?"
"Yes." Master Deng admitted this at first, and then continued: "The people controlled by the insects who were captured at the beginning have been secretly detained. I am personally responsible for this matter. I just hope to learn more about foreign civilizations through them, so as to
Be prepared in case you have to directly face a conflict between foreign civilizations in the future."
"Through those apostles controlled by foreign civilizations, I only know that the current severe drought in the world is caused by foreign civilizations, but it is not the civilization behind those insects, but other existences with more evil intentions. This drought is caused by our human race
Civilization has been cursed by foreign civilizations, and they have cursed us through sacrifices!”
"It's ridiculous to say that I don't know whether I should be happy or cry. Cursing our human civilization, I also paid a heavy price for the sacrifice..."
Hearing this, Yun Jing pondered and said: "The kind of thing that kills one thousand enemies but damages eight hundred?"
"No, for the foreign civilization that cursed us, this curse can be said to have damaged the enemy by 1,000, damaged themselves by 10,000 or even more. The curse that targets our entire human civilization will not pay a huge price!" Master Deng
He looked complicated.
The other party paid a heavy price, even more than ten times that of humans. They should be happy, but how can they be happy? There is a drought all over the world, and how terrible harm will the human race suffer?
It's ridiculous to say that the other party paid a heavy price but only caused a severe drought curse, and it didn't directly harm the human race.
"But the civilization that cursed my human race still did that. In other words, they felt that it was worth paying a high price for doing so!" Yun Jing said with a twinkling gaze.
Nodding, Master Deng muttered: "The reason why they do this is nothing more than a few reasons in my opinion. The other party is afraid of our human race, and even our human race has seriously threatened them, so they have to pay the price regardless of the cost.
Secondly, they can get benefits that we can’t understand by doing this, and thirdly, maybe they have no choice but to do so because something more terrifying than that civilization threatens them..."
Listening to Master Deng's analysis, Yun Jing's thoughts flickered, and finally he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Because these are just speculations. It is unknown whether the foreign civilization is a civilization on the stars at a certain moment in the sky, or another dimension in space. If it is not a free realm, it is not even qualified to explore the truth, so it is meaningless.
Again, it’s okay not to know. The more half-informed you are, the more trouble you will only cause yourself.
"It would be great if we could learn more about the apostles and saints who were controlled by insects. Maybe there would be a chance to resolve the curse. No matter how difficult it is, it is better than passively accepting it," Yun Jing said tangledly.
Master Deng shook his head and said: "At present, it is impossible to know more through them, because they are all dead. I tried my best to find out through them that this severe drought was cursed, which caused the civilization behind them to
All of my vigilance was killed by the 'opposite'. Not a single one was spared, and even the opposite party took the opportunity to invade. I cut off the contact decisively. Now, as far as I am concerned, I only know that our human civilization is burdened with a terrible curse. The drought is just
start!"
Yun Jing's mood suddenly sank into a low point. He suddenly realized something and was startled. He looked at Master Deng and asked, "Mr. Deng, are you okay?"
"Did Xiao Jing see it? Don't worry, I'm fine, I won't die in a short time," Master Deng said lightly.
Having lived for hundreds of years, he was almost unable to control his emotions before. In addition to what he said before, how could Yunjing not realize that the old man paid a huge price when he only got the information that humans were cursed?
The foreign civilization almost invaded. You can imagine how dangerous it was. I am afraid that the opponent wanted to directly control Master Deng and directly descended on human civilization in the form of a clone projection.
Even if Master Deng stopped it, the price would be unimaginable to Yun Jing.
Master Deng has lived for hundreds of years. He must have done this carefully and not recklessly. He was risking his life to benefit the human race. There was a severe drought in the world. Even if he did it himself in the mythical realm, he could still save a few people.
?We can only trace the source, but we just learned the news that a human being is cursed.
He hesitated to speak, but Yunjing finally had to bow to him deeply and said: "Master is kind and virtuous."
"Xiao Jing, don't think so much. I told you that you won't die in a short time. Besides, after you reminded me, I have vaguely seen the way forward. As long as you take that step, this little impact will be nothing." Mr. Deng
Yun Danfeng said lightly.
Yunjing lowered his head slightly, his eye circles were a little red, he said it lightly, was that step so easy to take?
Master belongs to the realm of myths, but the realm of myths is not Master. The word Master is a title that only comes from the height of civilization. It is precisely because of sages like Master who have devoted themselves to mankind that civilization can prosper and continue.
But the current situation of Master Deng...
There is no point in talking more. Yun Jing took a deep breath and said with a twinkling look: "It's impossible for Mr. Liu and the others to not know about the curse of foreign civilizations, and they will not sit idly by and do nothing!"
"Of course, otherwise it would not just be a drought now, but this situation still happened. I'm afraid their situation is not much better. It's a pity that they can't get in touch and the situation is unknown. Alas..." Mr. Deng said
He said helplessly.
It is obvious that the drought is closely related to the cloud scenery, but it is too far away to reach the source level, which is really confusing. The feeling of powerlessness makes people depressed and crazy.
After calming himself down, Yunjing changed the subject and said, "May I ask Mr. Liu, do you know how long the drought will last?"
"I don't know. I guess, if the source is not solved, I'm afraid..." Master Deng shook his head and said half of the sentence, but Yun Jing already knew the second half of the sentence.
Taking a deep breath, Yun Jing asked again: "Master said just now that the drought is just the beginning of the curse, what about the rest...?"
"It's still unknown, you can only understand it after it happens!"
