After Chai Yan finished speaking, he added: "Okay, tell me quickly, what is a turtle turning over?"
"Ahem..." Jimo Qiao immediately cleared his throat in a loud voice and said seriously: "Listen up..."
After listening to Jimo Qiao's explanation, Chai Yan realized that there was a legend widely circulated among the people. They believed that there was a very huge turtle living under the ground. The turtle slept most of the time, but as time passed, the big turtle would
You will want to turn over your body, but as soon as the big turtle turns over, the earth will tremble.γγ
"You see, this is called a turtle turning over." Jimo Qiao was very proud because he could finally show off in front of Chai Yan.
Chai Yan shook his head with a smile and said, "Where did that fish come from? Earthquakes are nothing more than a natural phenomenon caused by the mutual extrusion and collision of continental plates."
"Dalu plate? What is it?" How could Jimo Qiao understand this?
"The continental plate is...forget it, I can't explain it in a sentence or two right now. I'll explain it to you slowly when I have time later."
Chai Yan originally wanted to do some popular science, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he thought that there would be many words that could not be explained clearly immediately, so he immediately retreated and gave up decisively.
Jimo Qiao was a little disappointed, but he didn't ask further at this time, and instead said: "Look, it seems to have stopped..."
During the time we were standing in the open ground talking, no one felt the earthquake at all, and everything seemed to be calm again.
Chai Yan said: "We can't relax, there will probably be aftershocks next."
While they were talking, Pang Zhenbei suddenly appeared and ran towards them from a distance.
"Taoist Priest, it turns out you are here. You can help me find you easily." Pang Zhenbei was sweating, and he probably ran away a lot.
Chai Yan asked: "General Pang, why are you so anxious to find us?"
Pang Zhenbei shook his head and said: "It's nothing. It's just that the turtle was shaking too much when it turned over and rolled. General Fan asked me to come over and check on you. As long as it's okay, it's okay..."
"Thank you, General Pang." Chai Yan thanked him politely.
Pang Zhenbei immediately waved his hand, and then saw soldiers gathering nearby chatting and not sleeping, so he loudly said: "Hey, hey, what are you doing? If you don't go to bed when you have nothing to do, are you looking for a fight?"
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding soldiers ran back to their respective camps, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
Pang Zhenbei was now a little satisfied and said to Chai Yan: "Taoist Master, you should go back and rest quickly. I will go elsewhere to see who among these bastards is still making trouble."
With that said, Pang Zhenbei was ready to leave.
Chai Yan immediately stopped Pang Zhenbei and said: "General Pang, for the sake of safety, remember to keep more people on duty tonight. There may be aftershocks."
"Aftershocks?" Pang Zhenbei was stunned.
Jimo Qiao immediately said: "Tsk! Don't you understand this? My senior brother is worried that the turtle will turn over in a while, so everyone should be careful and safe."
"Oh..." Pang Zhenbei nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, Taoist Master, I will tell you to go down and pay attention."
After saying that, Pang Zhenbei left.
Chai Yan yawned lightly, looked at the dark night sky, and said: "Let's go back, let's go back and rest..."
.............................
The Moon God Army in Qingyuan Pass quickly returned to calm, but not so quickly in Haoyue City.
Although the earthquake has stopped and it has been calm for a while, the noise and shouting in the streets and alleys have not stopped.
The earthquake struck suddenly and caused heavy losses to the poorer families in the city. Because their houses were in disrepair and were too old, they collapsed quickly as soon as the earthquake struck. Not only did they lose their belongings, but they also injured people.
However, most people in the city were not too panicked because the earthquake was not of high magnitude and did not occur for a long time, so it did not pose much of a threat to people's personal and property safety.
In fact, more than thirty years ago, an earthquake also occurred in Haoyue City. The magnitude and duration were much larger than the previous one, and the damage at that time was also quite serious.
Therefore, when the earthquake happened, it immediately brought back the memories of many old people. As a result, crowds of people gathered in the streets and alleys, most of which were old people who had experienced the previous earthquake and were reminiscing and talking about it.
The narration also surprised and novelized young people and children who had never experienced an earthquake.
.....................
Half an hour after the earthquake stopped, inside the Second Prince's Mansion.
In the garden, Ahhudallah and his wife were kneeling in front of the altar table filled with offerings and praying devoutly.
Behind the two of them, a large number of servants and guards from the palace were kneeling. Like the second prince and his concubine, everyone clasped their hands together and silently bowed their heads in prayer.
As soon as the earthquake occurred, Giana Leser proposed to worship the Haoyue God, hoping that the Haoyue God would show mercy and love to his people, and also prayed that the Aoyu God could sleep peacefully and not harm those innocent people.
of people.
In the silence, Ahudala turned his head gently, looked at his wife kneeling next to him, and said softly: "Jiya, you are pregnant and it is inconvenient to kneel often, so why not get up first."
Gianna Lise looked at her husband and said softly: "It's okay. Only in this way can the Hao Yue God see our sincerity. Look, won't the Hao Yue God appear now?"
As a citizen of Muyue Kingdom, Giana Lise naturally took credit for stopping the earthquake quickly, and naturally attributed it to praying to the Haoyue God.
Ahudala could only say: "Jiya, I'm still worried. How about you pray for a while and then get up and rest, okay?"
Gianna Lisse knew that her husband felt sorry for her, so she nodded obediently: "Okay."
Next, the two prayed silently for a while, and then Jiana Lisser stood up with the help of Ahudala.
Ahhudala turned around and said to the kneeling servants: "Everyone, get up."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone stood up and saluted Ahudala and his wife together.
Ahudala said: "Everyone will check everywhere before going to bed. If there is any damage to the house or walls, report it as soon as possible."
"Yes, eldest prince."
After everyone agreed in unison, they dispersed.
Jiana Lise was supported by Ahudala and walked into the house. As she walked, she said: "Husband, when I was a child, I heard from my father that Haoyue City was also injured by a turtle turning over thirty years ago. At that time,
Many houses collapsed and many people died."
"Yes, I heard my father say this too." Ahudala nodded.
Giana Lisser said worriedly: "I don't know what the damage is in the city this time?"
Ahudala said: "Don't worry, Jiya, this time the turtle turned over very little, and fell asleep peacefully after a while. I think the loss will not be great."
"Well, I hope so." Gianna nodded.
After sending Jiana Rise back to the bedroom to lie down, Ahudala came to the door.
Ahudala stepped forward and asked the guard: "How is it outside?"
One of the guards raised his hand and said, "Back to the second prince, nothing happened. Only a few people gathered to talk. Everything else is normal."
"Well, that's good..." Ahudala nodded, and then said: "Don't sleep for the hard work tonight, everyone will be rewarded later."
"Thank you, Second Prince." The guards immediately expressed their gratitude respectfully.
"boom!"
Just as Ahudala was about to go back to his room to be with his wife, an explosion suddenly came from the west direction of the city, which was extremely loud.
Ahudala and the guards were shocked at the same time. When they turned to look to the west, the sky above the west was illuminated extremely brightly by the fire that reached the sky.
"What's going on?" Ahudala asked loudly.
None of the guards knew what was going on, and they all shook their heads to express their ignorance.
Ahudala had an idea and hurriedly ran to the highest attic in the house.
When I climbed up to the attic, I saw that a fire was already raging in the west part of the city, black smoke was billowing, and faintly panicked shouts could be heard.
"How could there be an explosion?"
Looking at the fire and the thick rising black smoke, Ahudala's brows were already furrowed.
The next moment, Ahudala, who was standing on the attic, suddenly shouted to his entourage downstairs: "Come here, prepare your horses quickly and come with me to check the fire!"
