Chapter 28: There is a hurricane in heaven and earth
"Shopkeeper, this is not good." Sun Zhang felt a little distressed after hearing this. "We bought that yard with a lot of money and prepared bribes to manage the affairs. How can we get this kid so cheap?"
"If we really want to give it to him, we have to wait until he helps us capture the fleet."
The woman in yellow rolled her eyes at Sun Zhang: "You can go if you are told. If you wait until then, I'm afraid there won't be a small courtyard to spend your time in."
Sun Zhang muttered a few words in private, but finally did not dare to disobey his shopkeeper's order, and obediently delivered the land deed to Li Fan.
Li Fan did not refuse, and had nothing to deal with, so he moved to the small courtyard on East Street that day.
Compared with the slums outside the city, the environment around this yard is not the least bit better.
Officials from the Liuli Mansion were on duty at the entrance of the alley, responsible for security and security; the small courtyard was also much larger than the previous house, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the left and right. Although it was not very big, it was enough for Li Fan to live alone. After declining several maids sent by Tianbao Tower, Li Fan has lived there since then, quietly waiting for the fleet to go to sea next time.
Li Fan originally thought it wouldn't take long, but an unexpected incident made the day of going to sea far away.
The storm is coming!
Li Fan had heard many times about wind disasters during the conversations with people on Liuli Island before, but he didn't pay much attention to them.
I thought it would be just like the typhoons and hurricanes I had seen before crossing, but it was just a bigger storm.
But when the storm really came, Li Fan realized that he was completely wrong!
On this day, Li Fan was practicing the "Xuanhuang Qingxin Mantra" at home as usual, but suddenly he heard bursts of rushing sounds coming from outside the house.
Weird and sharp sounds kept lingering over the island, and soon spread throughout Liuli Island.
"Go home quickly! The storm is coming!"
"Bless the Immortal Master, bless the Immortal Master!"
"Mom, where are you! Come home quickly!"
……
The island suddenly became chaotic, with panic and fearful shouts everywhere. Li Fan was a little confused for a moment.
Suddenly, he saw a blue light curtain appearing in the sky above Liuli Island.
The light curtain is like an inverted giant bowl, spanning the entire island, covering everything on the island.
"The island protection formation has been activated, there is no need to panic! Hide at home and are not allowed to go out!" A crisp female voice appeared together with the light curtain, spreading throughout the island in an instant.
"The Immortal Master is merciful!"
Listening to the shouts coming and going from all around, Li Fan raised his head and carefully observed the island protection formation.
Blue brilliance circulates, isolating the inside and outside of the island.
Characters Li Fan didn't recognize appeared faintly on the light screen from time to time, which looked mysterious and unusual.
The whistling sound like a ghost crying gradually sounded, the wind is coming!
Ripples rippled on the light curtain, blocking all the strong wind.
Within the light curtain, there was no wind at all, and it was very peaceful.
It started to rain heavily.
The dense raindrops almost formed a line and bombarded the light curtain.
Circles of ripples echoed on the light curtain, blocking out the torrential rain.
Outside there is a storm, but inside the light curtain it is calm.
"Is this the Xian family's method?"
Li Fan secretly praised.
Although he had already seen Kou Hongdaoxuanzi's method of destroying a city at every turn, seeing this island protection formation still made Li Fan feel itchy and yearning for it.
The strong wind and heavy rain lasted for most of an hour.
The rain gradually stopped, and the wind gradually became quieter.
Just when Li Fan thought the storm was about to pass, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Not only did the sky not clear up, but it became darker.
Countless dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, one layer after another, seemingly endless, pressing down downwards.
In an instant, the world became pitch black.
The thick dark clouds seem to be so close and within reach.
The dark clouds seemed to be brewing something, and Liuli Island fell into a brief silence.
The silence was soon broken.
"Boom!"
A thunderous bang exploded in Li Fan's ears.
Boom boom boom!
Loud noises like thunder sounded from all directions at the same time, continuously.
Like an endless symphony, constantly echoing between heaven and earth.
Amidst this huge noise, Li Fan felt dizzy, with stars in his eyes, and his chest felt like it was being pressed by a huge stone slab, making it difficult to breathe. When he touched it with his hand, blood continued to flow from his nose. p>
Li Fan was a little shocked. He was about to run back into the house to hide, but suddenly he felt the ground beneath his feet shaking violently.
With the world spinning, Li Fan quickly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
It seemed as if something was constantly hitting it, and the earth was constantly shaking.
Li Fan looked up and saw a scene that almost stopped his breathing.
A wall of water of unknown height occupied the entire field of vision. Swept by the strong wind, it rolled down towards Liuli Island with overwhelming force!
The huge waves are about to fall in the blink of an eye, burying all life below.
Li Fan couldn't help but raise his hand to cover himself subconsciously.
"Boom!"
Huge waves crashed against the blue light curtain.
The light curtain was distorted and seemed to be shattered.
But after a burst of blue light, the light curtain returned to normal.
Like rocks on the seashore, they stand firm in the waves.
The sea that failed to swallow up Liuli Island seemed to be angry.
One after another, huge waves hit one after another.
Liuli Island is like a sapling swaying in the wind and rain, seemingly ready to be torn to pieces at any time.
There were many moments when Liuli Island was completely submerged by the sea.
Li Fan almost felt that this life was about to end.
Fortunately, this island protection formation is more reliable than expected, and it has persisted without being broken.
The huge waves hit the sky and never stop.
This doomsday catastrophe-like scene also made Li Fan almost lose his mind.
I don’t know how long it took for the waves to gradually calm down.
But it's just gentle.
Typhoon disasters come quickly and go slowly.
In the wind and rain, it is difficult to distinguish between day and night.
Li Fan felt that it took two or three days for the storm to finally recede.
"Kowtow to the Immortal Master!"
The surviving islanders knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Li Fan received even more shocking news amidst the buzzing discussions among the islanders.
The typhoon disaster experienced by Liuli Island this time was still relatively small.
The hurricane disaster fifteen years ago was several times more powerful than this one.
At that time, the island protection formation could hardly be maintained, and had to be forced to reduce the scope of protection.
Therefore, after the storm, all the places that could not be protected by the formation were cut off by the storm.
The area of Liuli Island has also become only one-third of its original size.
More than ten years after the typhoon, Liuli Island gathered the victims from all over the place and slowly recovered its strength.
