Koyu-kyo in the sky?
The wife of the National Division raised her head to look at the sky. It was a very beautiful name.
Jade Capital, a capital city made of jade, the city where the immortals lived. It didn't have the atmosphere of the mortal world.
"Once, a Wanderer Zhen walked out of the mysterious sacred ground of Koyu-kyo. He came to stop me, but it was a pity that he failed."
The Yankang National Preceptor's gaze was slightly puzzled as he said softly, "Before he died, he told me that I must make a trip to Koyu-kyo. He said that there were things in Koyu-kyo that could change my way of thinking. Now, I'm here. "
In front of them, a beautiful fairyland that was as beautiful as the legends appeared amidst the clouds and mist.
Qin Mu's treasure ship stopped at Fen Prefecture, and Qin Mu brought Hu Ling 'er down the ship. They bought some New Year's goods and filled up the hold of the ship. Fen Prefecture was still considered peaceful. The magistrate of Fen Prefecture was currently gathering all the divine arts practitioners in the territory to refine all kinds of spirit weapons. They took the flying ship into the sky to collect the clouds and mist in the sky.
Sunlight had already shone down in some places, and the ice and snow had started to melt, making it even colder.
Fen Prefecture produced a lot of strong alcohol, and the people here usually drank strong alcohol to ward off the cold. However, the cold air was very strong, so many villagers still went up the mountain to chop down firewood to keep warm.
Furthermore, the prices of goods had skyrocketed, and things were much more expensive than before. Qin Mu was rich and didn't feel anything, but Hu Ling 'er did some calculations and told Qin Mu, "Young master, the prices of goods have doubled."
Qin Mu was slightly stunned and said, "It's earlier than I thought. Stabilizing the prices of goods is the responsibility of the Minister of Revenue, and it has nothing to do with us. As long as the dark clouds disperse, the imperial court will provide relief, and there won't be any chaos in the north. I'm just afraid that someone will purposely create chaos. "
They didn't buy enough New Year's goods in Fen Prefecture, and the treasure ship stopped at Lie Prefecture. The prices of goods had risen quite a bit, and many merchants had hoarded a lot of goods, waiting to sell them when the prices were higher to make a huge profit.
The magistrate of Lie Prefecture began to reorganize the merchants. In troubled times, severe punishments were used. Many of the merchants who had stockpiled goods were beheaded.
After two to three days, Qin Mu's treasured ship arrived at Jing Prefecture. It wasn't far from Great Ruins and was still ten thousand miles away. There were still quite a number of dark clouds, and the dark clouds in the sky were like a piece of white paper that had numerous holes cut out. Sunlight shone through these holes.
This place was relatively remote, vast, and sparsely populated. It was already somewhat chaotic, with bandits roaming about in groups, robbing large families. Along the way, one could already see many poor people who had frozen to death, leaning against extinguished bonfires, incomparably stiff.
There were also some refugees who dragged their families in the ice and snow. They wrapped themselves up tightly and stepped on the frozen river to walk towards the south, hoping to find a warm place.
These people didn't say a word. From time to time, there were people who fell behind and squatted down to warm themselves. However, once they squatted down, they couldn't get up again.
The places where the river water had silted up formed huge icebergs and glaciers that would give off creaking sounds from time to time. Then, huge chunks of ice would slide down the mountain, and it was very frightening.
Qin Mu saw some youths who were proficient in spells among the refugees and took care of them as they migrated. He stopped the ship on the ice and asked around. These youths were the disciples of Heavenly Devil Cult.
"Tell them not to go anywhere else. Every place has been frozen," Qin Mu said.
"They won't listen."
The disciples of Heavenly Devil Cult took off the masks that were covering their faces to block the cold wind and revealed their dark red faces. They told their young cult master sacred teacher loudly in the whistling cold wind, "There's no hope for these people if they stop. If they continue walking, there's still hope in their hearts. Who knows, they might be able to find a warm place."
Qin Mu was stunned. He unloaded some of the new year goods that could keep people warm and handed them to the disciples of Heavenly Devil Cult to distribute to the refugees. He said, "The weather is cold and the ground is frozen. Demons and ghosts will also come out to search for food. You guys have to be careful."
He didn't stay in Jing Prefecture for long. The treasured ship rose into the sky and sailed towards Great Ruins.
The winter in Yankang was ridiculously cold, and as time passed by, it became colder and colder. Qin Mu's treasured ship had numerous icicles hanging on it, causing its speed to decrease drastically. The medicinal stones it consumed also became more and more numerous. Every few thousand miles, the ship would have to stop and knock off the icicles. Only then could the speed increase again.
Hu Ling 'er was beside the pill furnace and would throw medicinal stones into it from time to time. Qin Mu maintained the course of the treasured ship. The ship flew very low, and Qin Mu transformed his vital qi into Vermillion Bird Vital Qi. Flames blazed around his body to prevent his body from being frozen stiff.
The further west they went, the more desolate it became. There were more and more refugees, and more and more people froze to death on the side of the road.
In remote places, there weren't many divine arts practitioners. There were even more places that didn't have a sun and were still shrouded by thick dark clouds, making the weather even colder.
The power of this snow disaster was much greater than he had expected. The number of people who had died also exceeded his expectations. The cold wave was also getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, flames surged in the sky, and a huge snake popped out from the clouds. It breathed fire in all directions and forced the cold air away.
The huge snake's demon aura surged as it slithered out from the clouds.
Qin Mu's heart leaped, and he hurriedly urged the treasured ship to rise and sail into the clouds.
The huge snake looked around, and on the head of the snake stood a flirtatious man. He asked suspiciously, "I clearly saw that brat's ship just now. Why is it gone now? Sister Qiu, release the insects! "
Countless insects flew out from the clouds again, and a woman stood in the cloud of insects. She stretched out her hand, and the insects flew out in all directions and tunneled into the clouds.
Qin Mu's treasured ship shuttled through the clouds. Suddenly, a golden-colored insect flew towards them. When the insect saw the ship, it jumped in shock and hurriedly stopped.
