There are a few white clouds hanging above the blue sky.
Several birds flew from north to south.
at some point.
These birds panicked and hurriedly ran away.
It turned out that to their south, there were three extremely fast sword lights flying towards the north.
The terrifying speed has caused turbulence in the air, and wherever these turbulences pass, the clouds are cut into pieces.
No need to ask further, these three sword lights are naturally Su Mu Moqian and Tan Rusu.
Why are there only three?
Chang Chun was really thinking about his government-funded trip to Kyoto and did not want to go to a bitter cold place like Shuozhou. Moreover, Su Mu and the others had to send someone to Kyoto to tell Zhao Zhitang what they had encountered.
A few days ago.
In the unnamed village under Rizhao Mountain.
Su Mu and others learned that the weather in Shuozhou suddenly became cooler in August, but then the temperature suddenly rose again half a month later.
Just when everyone thought the weather was about to get warmer, there was a sudden snowstorm on the night of the 17th.
The next day, the river surface was frozen, the trees in the mountains suddenly withered, and there was a turbulent flow of spiritual energy between the sky and the earth.
What made Su Mu and Mo Qianyu even more suspicious was that the Little Bear Demon told them that several monsters on the mountains not far from them had mysteriously disappeared.
This is also the most important reason why the little bear demon family decided to go south. However, when the little bear demon family went south, they were blocked by the Dongqishan monster.
Also in this obstruction, the little bear demon's parents died.
The turbulent flow of spiritual energy, the strange disappearance of monsters, and the encounters of the Little Bear Demon family.
They all reminded Su Mu and Mo Qianyu of the monster beasts that Luo Shi brought into Jianmu Space on Kongong Mountain.
then.
Mo Qianyu decided to go to Pinghe County, Yulin Prefecture, Xilin Region, Shuozhou first.
…
Yulin Prefecture is located at the southern end of Xilin Region, and Pinghe County is the first county town from south to north.
Even so, Pinghe County is extremely backward due to its barren land, with an area of less than 200 miles and a population of less than 10,000.
In terms of the entire Xilin Region, Pinghe County was the least affected place.
However, before Su Mu and his party entered the county, they had already felt the fierce cold wind whistling from the north, but there was no snow in it, only mixed with frost.
The surrounding mountains were already barren, and there were some scattered trees, but now they have been crushed and lost their vitality.
As for the Pinghe River in Pinghe County, it was once a big river in its long history. Over time, the mountains and rivers have changed dramatically, and now it is just a small river several feet wide, covered with extremely thick frost.
"This snow is not as bad as I thought it would be."
Tan Rusu, who came with a sword all the way, looked down at the earth, and did not see the scene of a large number of collapsed houses and piles of bones in the snow, and let out a sigh.
Su Mu was also a little surprised by this, but it was normal after thinking about it, and said: "If Pinghe is as serious as you think, then there is really no room for imagination further north."
Mo Qianyu, who was beside him, had already looked through the thick cold fog and saw Pinghe County, which was still out of sight.
The shocked look on her expression was quickly noticed by Su Mu.
"What's wrong?"
"Taoist Master, there are many people heading up the mountain."
The speaker was Monk Hai. Half of his body was hidden in Su Mu's sleeves, with only one head emerging. However, he wore a big furry hat on his head, which made his monkey face look particularly small.
Mo Qianyu looked at Monk Hai with some surprise. Along the way, she knew that the monkey next to Su Mu was not simple, but she still didn't expect that this little demon could see so far with his cultivation level, which could not reach the Qi Refining Realm.
something other than.
...
Yes, many people.
When Su Mu came to the place where Mo Qian and Monk Hehai witnessed, he saw an extremely puzzling scene.
The three of them have landed and can see Pinghe County.
But none of Su Mu and the others were in the mood to look at this county town shrouded in frost and covered with heavy snow.
Because on the snow to the east of the county seat, there was a huge team climbing up a mountain.
They are all mortals. The ones walking in front are holding Dharma flags and chanting words.
The people following behind were dressed in sacrificial attire, holding in their hands cymbals, drums, Sanqing bells and other Taoist instruments commonly used in rituals.
The people behind him held some food in their hands and looked particularly respectful.
"Is this a sacrifice?" Tan Rusu asked softly.
"Obviously," Su Mu responded, his eyes paying attention to the tattered clothes of almost everyone in the sacrificial team. Some people even had no shoes, but they were still kowtowing and moving forward step by step.
"Are they offering sacrifices to the mountain?"
Mo Qianyu noticed that these people would always look up to the top of the mountain respectfully, and then kneel down to pray.
"In the past, there were some immortals and gods in some mountains and rivers,"
Tan Rusu looked slightly disdainful, as if he was laughing at the stupidity of this group of people, "In this day and age, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are controlled by the imperial way. Even if there are people in the mountains, they are just mortal monks, there is no point in worshiping the mountains like this.
.”
The individual gods she spoke of were naturally mountain gods.
Su Mu looked at her disdainful look and said, "Listen to what you said, you are not a mortal?"
"snort!"
With a haughty cold snort, Tan Rusu raised her proud face and said, "This girl is a fairy who has descended to earth."
Hearing this, Su Mu smiled and said: "So that's the case, no wonder the fairy world is gone."
"What do you mean?"
"If the world of immortality were filled with people like you, it would be natural for them to disappear."
"You...are looking for death!" Tan Rusu prepared to fight.
At this time, Mo Qianyu's calm voice came, "Compared to activities like offering sacrifices to the mountain, what is even more strange is that there are actually members of the public among these people."
A public servant is a person who receives a salary from the court.
His Majesty, the current Emperor, has restored the human race to its peak, one of which is to expel many snake gods and ghosts from the Zhou Dynasty, such as the Buddha and the shaman god who had great influence in the past.
Governing the people with Confucianism and ruling the country with Taoism.
Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, only Confucianism and Taoism were respected.
Therefore, apart from ancestors, the only sacrifices offered in the Zhou Dynasty were Confucianism and Taoism.
Those who are not from Confucianism or Taoism are classified as wild gods, and no one from the public family can sacrifice them.
...
"Who is coming? Stop!"
A shout and a rusty knife.
A young man wearing a police officer's uniform stopped the three people from Su Mu who came forward.
Seeing this, Su Mu saluted with a gentle voice and said, "Su Mu, I am a disciple of Shushan in the south. I heard that Shuozhou suffered a serious snow disaster this year, so I came to Guibao to see if there was anyone who could help. No offense intended."
.”
"Disciple of Shushan?!"
The man was slightly shocked, but the team behind him did not stop for Su Mu and the others because of their status as Shushan disciples.
He mused: "Even if you are Shushan Immortal Masters, you cannot collide with the goddess!"
"Goddess?" Mo Qianyu made a confused sound.
The man bowed to the mountain peak with great awe, and then said: "She is the Snow Mountain Goddess. Without the protection of Her Highness the Goddess, how could we survive to this day? You disciples of the Immortal Mountain have never cared about our life or death."
