Chapter 208: earthquake

Views:

My feet stumbled again and I quickly jumped into the air. Only then did I realize that it wasn’t me who was dizzy at all, but the whole world was really shaking! Depend on! Needless to say, I knew what was wrong with this terrifying blue color and the trembling earth. This was an earthquake!

Earthquake, of course, is the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake. The place where I am now is Yahongqiao Town in Wuzhong County, which is also in the earthquake zone. The shaking of the ground began to intensify rapidly, and I saw in the air that in the village not far to the north of where I was, people began to run out of the houses quickly.

The location of Bianjia Tomb is just to the west of the river. Looking across the river to the east and northeast of the river, you can see a temporary shed hung with felt cloth. As he rose into the air, he saw an old man with gray hair and beard rushing out from there quickly, then quickening his pace and running north along the river, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye! Seeing this old man, my heart moved, and I seemed to think of something. When I was wondering, suddenly the blue light in the sky went out, and darkness and the noisy sound of the crowd filled my ears. At the same time, a colorful divine light suddenly flashed in the spiritual eyes, and all the houses in the house seemed to be supported by someone. Although they were shaking like jelly, they did not fall down!

I chased him in the direction of the flash of divine light and flew for about two breaths, which was just a moment. In the darkness, I saw a teenage boy pressing his hands on the ground, and colorful divine light steamed up from the man's body! I hurriedly landed, and then I vaguely saw the face of this man. That man was none other than Mr. Liu!

I understood that Mr. Liu was doing what he was doing at this time in order to hold up the house and prevent it from falling, so that no one would be killed by it. Although I don't have that powerful magic power, since I am in it, I can't ignore it! So without waiting for Mr. Liu to say anything, I stood up again and flew into the air towards the village. From the house closest to Hetuntao, a teenage boy suddenly rushed out and moved quickly. After the child rushed out, he immediately ran towards a man in his yard. At this time, the man was shouting at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, come out quickly! There's an earthquake! Run!" The child rushed towards the man. He came closer and asked: "Brother, where is mom?" The man quickly replied: "Mom hasn't come out yet?" Then he slapped his thigh: "I thought mom came out with you! Quick! Go and rescue mom!"

The boy turned around before his elder brother could finish his words and ran back to his house. The moment the boy turned around, my head buzzed because I actually knew this boy! This kid turned out to be Lin Feng!

But then I was shocked again, no! This is not Lin Feng, this is Uncle Quan! This is Uncle Quan when he was young!

At the same time I reacted, Uncle Quan had already rushed under the house and was about to speed up and rush into the house. But the beams of that house were creaking and were about to fall down in the next second! I was confused and overthinking, so I flew forward and used my shoulders to hold the beam, and the groaning sound of the beam suddenly stopped! Uncle Quan didn't hesitate when he saw this. He rushed into the house and then carried out a middle-aged woman. Uncle Quan's footsteps did not slow down, and he rushed out of the house in three steps and two steps at a time. When I saw that Uncle Quan was safe, I jumped out of the house. Just when I let go of my hand, I heard a series of "snap, snap, snap" sounds. Looking back, I saw that the entire wall of the house fell towards the inside of the house. The location where the wall of one of the houses collapsed happened to be the location of the kang in the house where Uncle Quan and his wife were sitting! I couldn't help but tremble with fear, and I was filled with fear.

But strangely enough, although the wall of the house collapsed, the house did not fall down, otherwise my action of holding up the beams just now would not have been stupid.

Then the people in the village began to run out of the house one by one, and for a while the big ones cried and the small ones made a mess. During this period, everything happened. Some people on the street were frightened by this incident. Since it was night, everyone woke up from their dreams and sat disheveled on the street. I was sitting next to Uncle Quan, and I saw a young man running past on the other side of the street carrying an old-looking old man on his back.

At this time, the sky was gradually starting to get brighter. Apparently more than an hour had passed, and the earthquake had also eased. I don’t know who among the crowd shouted: “Qiuzhuang Reservoir collapsed!”

After these words fell, the chaotic crowd fell silent instantly! Three seconds later there was chaos like a frying pan! The Qiuzhuang Reservoir is upstream of the Huanxiang River. If the earthquake collapses the reservoir, there is no doubt that the Huanxiang River will flood. You can imagine the fate of both sides of the Huanxiang River! Suddenly everyone ran towards the river. Within a few minutes, the river was full of people!

After rushing up to the river, Uncle Quan settled my mother down. Suddenly he seemed to remember something, and then looked towards the bottom of the river in the south of the village. Then Uncle Quan cursed something, ran along the river towards the south!

I followed Uncle Quan and ran under the felt shed, and saw Uncle Quan looking around anxiously. Only then did I understand! It turns out that the old man who just ran away from here turned out to be Uncle Quan’s master!

Gradually, Uncle Quan calmed down and walked back with his head down in disappointment. But how could he have imagined that on the other side of the river below his feet, a young man was lying on the ground with his hands on the river bank to suppress the earthquake. That person is none other than Uncle Quan’s playmate, Mr. Liu!

Not long after Uncle Quan left, he suddenly felt a "buzz" deep in the ground beneath his feet. Just like a huge monster suddenly breaking free from its restraints, the colorful divine light in the direction of Liu Ye dimmed at the same time! I yelled in my heart that it’s not good! It seems there is a problem with Mr. Liu!

Immediately, my feet started shaking again, and I almost fell to the ground without being able to stand still! He quickly rose into the air and flew towards the direction of Master Liu. When I saw Mr. Liu still maintaining his previous posture, he was sweating profusely and his face was pale! I immediately understood what was going on. Although Lord Liu came to the world with supernatural powers and powers, this body was still a mortal after all, and he was only fifteen or sixteen years old and not fully developed! Even though he has huge divine power, his body is relatively weak. At this time, Liu Ye's body can no longer bear the burden of the powerful divine power and is about to collapse from exhaustion!

I squatted and knelt beside Mr. Liu. I wanted to shout but couldn't help. I wanted to help but couldn't. I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely! My mind started to work quickly, and I immediately thought of the spirit gourd! Then I quickly took out the spiritual gourd, thinking that no matter whether it works or not, I have to try it! So I held the spirit gourd in my hand and recited the incantation silently, and the souls of more than a dozen snow mandrills in the spirit gourd instantly started howling angrily!

Normally, it would take at least a day to refine the elixir from the soul, but now I don't have to worry much about it and started refining the elixir on the spot. As the roar of the snow mandrill gradually weakened, the dozen souls in the spiritual gourd gradually became clear, and then began to condense into a dozen irregular crystals. As more than a dozen crystals formed, my consciousness seemed to be integrated into the spiritual gourd. I could almost see the scene in the spiritual gourd with my naked eyes! This has never happened before. In the past, I could only see the contents of the spirit gourd with my spiritual consciousness, but this time it was as if I and the spirit gourd had become one!

I saw more than a dozen crystals beginning to be quickly refined and fused by the flames in the spirit gourd, and bit by bit they were tempered into a clear liquid. The liquid was rolling and gradually began to solidify. At the same time, the violent energy and other impurities in Snow Mandrill's soul began to be peeled off, and the liquid began to become more translucent. Then I watched it gradually solidify and become a round elixir, while the impurities in Snow Mandrill's soul continued to rotate around the elixir, like a planet. Until the fire in the gourd suddenly extinguished, the impurities that were spinning and trying to return to the elixir were also instantly annihilated!

This is the first time I have witnessed the elixir taking shape. In the past, when refining elixirs, I would wait for the soul to be refined into elixirs on their own, but this time I took the initiative to refine them into elixirs. It was already bright when he came back to his senses. He looked up at Mr. Liu. At this time, Mr. Liu's face was pale and his whole body was shaking! I couldn't care how much time had passed, so I opened the gourd and poured out the newly refined elixir, then reached out and stuffed it into Mr. Liu's mouth.

However, just when I reached out and handed the medicine to Master Liu's mouth, Master Liu suddenly relaxed and his neck fell down! As soon as Mr. Liu fell down, the whole world seemed to vibrate with a "buzz". Everything in front of him began to shake violently, and the house began to shake again. I was so shocked that I quickly opened the mouth of the unconscious Liu Ye, stuffed the elixir into his mouth, and then flew up into the air.

Flying into the air, I subconsciously looked in the direction of Uncle Quan's house. I saw Uncle Quan holding a poplar tree as thick as the mouth of a bowl outside his backyard. The tree swayed violently during the earthquake, and the treetops swung violently back and forth. The entire crown of the tree kept touching the ground, and it was about to break at the waist!
