The moonlight was misty, and the starlight was trickling down. It was like a thick fog, drowning Chu Feng. From afar, there was a cloud of white steam rising and falling.
It was a very comfortable feeling. Chu Feng was practicing a special breathing technique. His chest was heaving up and down, and a faint fragrance was diffusing from his mouth and nose.
It was recorded in the history books that when some old Daoists or eminent monks passed away, their bodies would not rot, and the room would be filled with fragrance. It was a very strange phenomenon.
Some people said that it was because they had been researching medicinal pellets for years, and their bodies had been contaminated for a long time.
There were also scholars who believed that everyone would be like this, accompanied by the smell of orchids and musk. However, the world was dirty, and only a small number of people could emit the original fragrance.
Now, white steam was lingering around Chu Feng's mouth and nose, and the fragrance was filling the air. He could even feel the sweet smell of the saliva he swallowed. It was very comfortable.
This was a very strange breathing technique. It was carried out according to a specific rhythm. Chu Feng felt his body was floating, as if he was about to leave the ground.
This breathing rhythm was strengthening his vital signs, and he was full of vitality.
Not long after, the Yellow Cattle opened its eyes. One of its front hooves pointed to the sky, and the other pointed to the ground. It mooed a few times, and it ended this breathing technique.
The sky was full of starlight. Chu Feng also stopped. Vaguely, he understood something. Although it was not a long time, his body was full of vitality, and it was useless to continue.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, Chu Feng heard the sound of the courtyard walls cracking. The ground was shaking slightly. It wasn't very violent, but he could feel it immediately.
"Earthquake?"
Then, he heard screams. The town was no longer quiet.
Suddenly, the lights on the street went out one after another. All the houses were dark at the same time. The electricity was cut off.
At the same time, Chu Feng turned on his communicator. He found the signal was blurry, and then it was cut off.
"Moo!"
The Yellow Cattle growled. Its eyes were shining. It raised its head and looked towards the direction of the Taihang Mountains. There were some purple clouds blooming there, and there were silver lights flowing.
Vaguely, there was a rumbling sound.
The upheaval began again. Although it was far away, one could already feel the pressure. The majestic atmosphere was overwhelming.
"There are more mountains!"
Chu Feng was taken aback. He gazed into the distance and saw that there were even more mountains in the Taihang Mountains. Some of them were tens of thousands of feet tall, even taller than before.
Was this the true face of Mount Taihang?
The town was in a state of panic, and people were screaming.
It was because the ground was being stretched, some streets breaking apart, some houses starting to crack apart, terrifying cracks appearing. If this continued, they would collapse.
The only fortunate thing was that this change wasn't quick.
This night was destined to be restless.
All kinds of fearful and uneasy screams, as well as the cries of women and children, appeared continuously under the curtain of the night. It was extremely chaotic.
Boom!
Buildings fell down.
"Mom, I'm scared!"
"Boo hoo … Grandma, what's wrong? Dong Dong is so scared."
Some of the children cried out in fear.
That night, Qingyang Town was in chaos. This was a disaster that had never happened before.
Chu Feng ran out to save people. To his relief, there were not many casualties. People had run out of their houses in advance.
When morning arrived, Qingyang Town had completely changed.
A quarter of the houses had collapsed, and most of them happened in the northern part of the town. It was as if they had been torn apart by brute force. The broken buildings were far away from each other.
The east, south, and west sides of the town were fine. The houses were only partially damaged and cracked, but they didn't collapse.
Water and electricity were all cut off. The impact of the earthquake was great.
Three people died, and more than a dozen were injured. Relatively speaking, they should be thankful. The earthquake happened slowly, giving people enough time to escape.
Only a few people slept too deeply and didn't leave their houses, which caused the tragedy.
But this was enough to make people panic. Nothing like this had ever happened before, especially when they didn't know what the future would bring. The environment was changing, and the future was shrouded in fog.
People were always afraid of the unknown. Because they didn't understand and didn't know, it made them feel even more afraid.
This was the case now. This was a mysterious period. Strange phenomena were everywhere, and at the same time, disasters accompanied them. Who could tell what kind of era it would usher in?
Would it be prosperous, or would it be terrifying? People had no idea.
Qingyang Town was gloomy and gloomy.
There were cries and whispers of anxiety. People were dispirited and anxious. They couldn't see the future.
Moreover, water, electricity, and communication had all been cut off. They had lost contact with the outside world. Could they wait for help?
People didn't know what was going on in the outside world. Was it the same, or even worse?
"Don't be afraid. Only a small part of the houses collapsed. The rest is enough for us to live in. The power cut isn't scary. We have generators in town, and they can be used soon. As for the water cut, there's even less to worry about. A few ancient wells are enough for us. "
Zhao Sanye was speaking. He was called over by Chu Feng to comfort the people.
That was because Zhao Sanye was a person of virtue and prestige in the town. His ancestral craftsmanship, his unique cold weapon workshop, and his open-minded and robust character all made him well-respected.
Chu Feng returned home. This place was located in the easternmost part of Qingyang Town. The damage wasn't great. There were only a few large cracks on the courtyard wall.
Yellow Cattle was looking toward the east. A faint golden light bloomed in its eyes. It was somewhat excited, as if it was hoping for something.
"What are you waiting for?" Chu Feng asked.
Yellow Cattle didn't reply. It was very quiet.
For the next few days, this place was completely cut off from the outside world.
Some people drove in the direction of the town, but many of the asphalt roads had been cut off. A long stretch of the road had turned into a dirt road. They couldn't see the town even after driving for more than a hundred miles.
This made people anxious. They didn't dare to drive on recklessly in case they ran out of fuel and couldn't make it back.
One had to know that under normal circumstances, the town was only a few dozen miles away from here. It wasn't far from Qingyang Town at all. But now, it had completely changed.
Moreover, there were many mysterious mountains along the way!
Some of the mountains were jet-black, giving off an oppressive feeling. Some of the mountains were lush with vegetation, and the cries of apes and tigers could be heard.
If it weren't for the many familiar sceneries in this area, people would have suspected that they had entered another world.
Qingyang Town seemed to be cut off from the outside world. The people were very pessimistic. Even if the town's generators were running, the light of the night couldn't dispel the fear of an unknown fate.
For the past few days, Chu Feng was very calm. He didn't panic. He calmly observed everything.
His parents lived in Shuntian, a huge city known as the center of the north. It had all kinds of protective measures in place, so he wasn't too worried.
For the past few days, he followed the prescribed routine and practiced that strange breathing technique every day. His rhythm was neither fast nor slow, but he could clearly feel the changes in his body.
He once tried to lift the heavy stone table in the courtyard. This was impossible in the past. Even if he had a strong physique, he could only lift it half a foot high in the past.
Chu Feng was secretly shocked. The effect was too obvious.
Once in the morning and once in the evening. Although the duration wasn't long, the special breathing rhythm was like picking herbs. It nourished the body and increased the vitality of the body.
For the rest of the time, Chu Feng walked around outside. He was observing the changes in the mountains and rivers.
Some places had been stretched, while others remained unchanged. He walked through all the familiar areas and found that the overall area had increased by a lot.
The distance between the neighboring mountains and lakes had increased by more than ten times. The same was true for other terrains.
Chu Feng was lost in thought. Originally, the largest city in the north, Shuntian, was only two hundred miles away from here. But according to his current calculations, wasn't it already two thousand miles away?
It would be very difficult to see his parents now.
Six days later, his communicator suddenly regained signal.
Chu Feng contacted his parents at once. Both sides reported that he was safe and sound. He could clearly feel the worry of his parents. They both wanted him to go to Shuntian.
That was because it should be the safest place with all kinds of defensive measures in place and various contingency plans.
Perhaps there was a reason why the six dynasties had built their capital there. Even after the upheaval this time, the entire city was safe and sound. It wasn't a stretched area and the buildings were still intact.
This made Chu Feng feel more at ease. He comforted them that it would pass in the future and asked them to wait patiently.
"Chu Feng, are you alright? Oh god, the weather here has changed. The county has been divided into two. Just outside the city, there are two prehistoric mountains piercing into the clouds. They are boundlessly huge." Zhou Quan called and talked to him on the phone. He was shouting on the other end of the line and said emotionally, "Guess what I saw? A toad, his grandpa, it's as big as a stone roller, and it's eating an elephant! "
Fatty Zhou's words were incoherent as he shouted from the other side.
Chu Feng finally understood. All kinds of indescribable creatures had appeared in the two mysterious mountains next to the county. Although they hadn't left the mountains yet, they could clearly see the shadows of the beasts with binoculars.
Zhou Quan had once seen a toad the size of a stone roller chasing all kinds of beasts. It had even pounced on an elephant and eaten it.
After ending the call, Chu Feng fell into deep thought. If those beasts and birds all came out, wouldn't the world be in chaos? He hoped that they wouldn't be able to leave the mountains.
Following that, his communicator kept ringing. They were all familiar friends and classmates contacting each other to understand the situation. In the end, they told each other to be careful and take care!
The world was going to be in chaos. This was Chu Feng's first thought.
If this went on, things would definitely go out of control.
Afterward, he quickly went online and read all kinds of reports. No one could be sure that the communicator's signal would always be unblocked. It could be cut off at any time.
Everywhere in the world had undergone upheaval!
Many people were terrified and many were weeping. This was no longer the world they were familiar with. Peace would never return. People had a premonition that a violent storm was coming.
Large areas of houses collapsed. Although the cracks happened very slowly and there was enough time to escape, a small number of people still lost their lives.
People saw that the distance between the two places had increased by about ten times. This meant that the entire world's surface area had expanded by more than a hundred times!
Some people were crying, believing that the earth was connected to other terrifying worlds.
There were also people who said that this was the true appearance of the earth. It was a primordial land that had been hidden in the past and had only appeared now.
For a time, theories such as folding space were being studied in depth by all parties.
Everywhere was restless as photos of some miraculous scenes were reported.
In particular, there were many auspicious signs on the famous mountains and great rivers. There were divine trees blooming and sacred springs surging. Moreover, there were even some people fighting over them. It was as if they had planned this beforehand. Their appearance there caused people to be astonished and suspicious.
During these days, Yellow Cattle had been very quiet. It stood in the courtyard and stared at the void as if it was paying attention to something.
However, there was a burning passion and excitement in the depths of its eyes. It was lying dormant and waiting!
