Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 511 Thundering Sea Town, Evil Qi Tribulation Cloud

In the Sutra Pavilion, Qiu Changtian found the book The Story of Flowers in the Mirror, Water and Moon.

Returning to their seats, they laid the book flat with Junior Sister Xu, and then carefully opened it.

I saw that the pages of the book were slightly yellowed, and the ink was also old and dim, as if it had been for a certain age.

Xu Yinglian turned the book from beginning to end, read it quickly, and then shook her head in puzzlement:

No problem, are you sure that Junior Brother Qiu borrowed this book?

In the Sutra Pavilion, there are no redundant backups of all the miscellaneous books, and there is only this one for Jinghuashuiyueji. Qiu Changtian replied.

He drew the book to himself, and called out:

A mirror, scan!

After waiting for a long time, Kunlun Mirror hesitated and said:

strangeness……

What's strange?

There is a thread of space in it. Kunlun Mirror replied.

Spatial thread? Qiu Changtian pondered for a moment, then reprimanded it, A Jing, speak human words, and mirror words are not allowed.

For example, if there are two independent spaces that are not connected to each other. Kunlun Mirror did not get angry with him, but explained, Then the creatures in this space must not be able to enter the other space. A space.

However, in most cases, two adjacent spaces often have a lot of adhesion. For example, secret realms often have entrances and exits—these passages grow from the edge of the space and stick to other spaces. The so-called 'threads' are like the threads used to sew different fabrics on clothes.

So you mean...

I guess your Junior Brother Qiu must have accidentally touched the thread of the space through some method. Kunlun Jing said thoughtfully.

Then you crossed over? Qiu Changtian asked in surprise.

Basically, that's what it means. Kunlun Mirror replied, Being pulled by the thread, it traveled to the opposite space.

What is the space opposite?

I don't know, it's a big cave.

Qiu Changtian thought for a moment, then turned to Xu Yinglian and said:

There is a cave in this book.

How do you know? Xu Yinglian asked incredulously with his eyes wide open.

Let's not mention this for now. Qiu Changtian asked with a smile, Junior Sister, shall we go in?

Don't forget, Junior Brother Qiu is a Huafu-rank disciple. There is a high probability that there will be the secret medicine of the Purple Mansion in the cave that allows him to explore alone without telling everyone.

Indeed. Xu Yinglian was a little moved immediately, However, how do I get in?

Let me check again. Qiu Changtian said confidently and calmly, then turned around and asked Kunlun Mirror:

A Jing, how do I get to that cave?

Oh, it's very simple. Kunlun Mirror said lightly, I'll do it.

As soon as the words fell, the two of them felt their world spinning, and then they appeared in a strange world.

I saw that there seemed to be an island below, surrounded by endless oceans.

Above the two are layers of cloudy clouds. Although it looks like a robbery cloud, it does not have the chilling atmosphere that pervades the sky and the earth. It seems to be just an ordinary cumulonimbus cloud.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian exchanged glances, then quickly landed on the island below.

There is a small town in the middle of the island, with houses lined up in row upon row, and it is roughly estimated that there are about a thousand households.

At this time, the residents were gathering in the open space in the center of the town, shouting at the mayor with righteous indignation.

Dozens of armed guards with spears scattered the residents murderously and forced them back to their respective residences.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian pressed down their sword lights and landed in the center of the town. The surrounding guards immediately looked like they were facing a big enemy, and rushed over with spears in their hands.

Wait, stop! The mayor hurriedly called the guards to stop, then stepped forward cautiously, cupped his hands and said, I have seen the two immortals.

Excuse me. Qiu Changtian said gently, Let me ask you, have you ever seen such a practitioner?

He briefly described Junior Brother Qiu's appearance and clothes, and the mayor immediately nodded and said:

I've seen it! I've seen it! The Shangxian said that he wanted to help us solve the problem of thunderbolts. After taking the lightning protection pill, he rushed directly to the thunder cloud.

Lei Shu? Xu Yinglian asked in surprise.

It's not safe here. The mayor stared at the cumulonimbus cloud above his head, and said with a fearful expression, The two gods, please come with me, and let the old man explain later.

He ordered the soldiers to go back to their respective posts, and then he took the two of them home, closed the door, and called his wife to pour tea for them.

So that the two celestial beings know about it. The mayor said with a bitter face, You two celestial beings, you should have seen the thundercloud above our heads, right?

Not bad. Qiu Changtian nodded slightly.

Our town is called 'Thunder Town'. According to the records left by the town, the thunder cloud above the head is called 'Evil Qi Jieyun', which is formed by the accumulation of evil spirit after death. The mayor sighed faintly. Said, Probably every hundred years or so, it will descend on the island once.

When the baleful cloud descends, everyone must stay at home and not be in the open air, otherwise there is a certain chance that they will be struck to death by lightning.

This is strange. Qiu Changtian pondered.

He is a practitioner of the five thunders rectification method, so he naturally knows that this kind of tribulation thunder cloud is often born for a certain target, and if he wants to strike, he will strike that specific target.

It's the first time he's heard of the indiscriminate, large-scale random killing Leiyun mentioned by the mayor... However, considering that it's the condensation of evil spirits, maybe it's essentially a demon with spiritual wisdom.

If that's the case, why did those residents gather outside just now? Xu Yinglian asked puzzled.

Ah. The mayor said dejectedly, Once the evil spirit robbery cloud comes, it will stay over the island for a period of time, but the length is unknown. The shortest is a few days, and the longest is more than ten months.

At first, Jieyun wasn't very active, but if a thunderbolt kills someone, Jieyun will grow stronger and stay longer.

If thirty or forty people die, the calamity cloud will cover the entire island, making the day as dark as night, and it will stay there for at least half a year. At that time, every family will be wiped out!

So, according to the instructions of the ancestors, the old man strictly ordered the residents of the town to stay at home and not go out until Jieyun left. It's just...

Oh. Xu Yinglian is also a smart person, and immediately understood, There is also a difference between the rich and the poor among the residents. If they are not allowed to go out to farm and fish, the rich may last for ten months, and the poor will have no food in a few days.

That's right. The mayor sighed authentically, I have already talked to the wealthy family, hoping to distribute some food to the poor.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other for a moment, and both sighed in their hearts.

People's joys and sorrows are difficult to communicate with each other. In times of natural disasters, it would be good for the rich not to sell food at a high price, but how about free relief?

Fortunately at this time, the immortal you two were looking for suddenly appeared and said that he wanted to remove the evil cloud of calamity in the sky for the town. The mayor said cautiously, The old man will follow the instructions of the ancestors and take away the evil spirits left by the ancestors. The Lightning Avoiding Pill was given to him, and the Immortal turned into a beam of sword light and rushed to Jieyun to cast spells.

And then? Xu Yinglian continued to ask.

Then, then... that Shangxian disappeared. The mayor said with a sad face.

Although his demeanor is quite natural, but Xu Yinglian has an exquisite heart after all, and he keenly caught a trace of unnaturalness in it, and immediately glared and angrily said:

What are you hiding! Why don't you invite it!!!

The mayor was so frightened that he quickly knelt down on the spot and cried out:

It has nothing to do with the old man! Please Shangxian clearly check, the old man has issued repeated orders, but there are still six or seven troublesome people in the town. After the Shangxian rushed into the evil spirit, they still ignored the prohibition and sneaked out to sea!

Later, the robbery cloud killed one of them, and the remaining five or six fled back to the town in embarrassment. The old man immediately knew something was wrong, only to find that the robbery cloud in the sky had grown much stronger, and the sword light in the cloud had gradually faded, and finally dimmed …I think it was Shangxian who was harmed by that robbery cloud, but it wasn't the old man who murdered him, it's just that he was powerless!

The mayor snotted his nose and burst into tears, and spoke bitterly.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian exchanged glances again, and their expressions became a little complicated.

This Junior Brother Qiu... How should I put it, he was really unlucky.

At the critical moment of fighting with Jieyun, he happened to encounter a town resident who went out to sea privately and was killed by lightning, which made Jieyun stronger.

It was this point that happened to be the straw that broke the camel's camel's back, which led to his unfortunate final fall and his untimely death.
