The last snowflakes drifted to the ground.
“The snow has stopped,” Qing Yu drank the last cup of wine, “this snow wine, it really is something else.”
Xuan Zhen’s ‘Tai Su Yuan Gong’ was no longer limited to turning true qi into crystals, she even used her Tai Su Qi to turn the taste of snow water into wine, which she shared with Qing Yu overnight.
“It’s also dawn, it’s the beginning of the New Year.” Xuan Zhen looked out of the building at a snowy and pale world, his eyes seemed emotional and calm, his eyes flowing, unable to see his true emotions.
But there is no doubt about one thing, this night of drinking and enjoying the snow, Xuan Zhen was very relaxed and peaceful.
This is a feeling that Xuan Zhen has rarely felt. Although he had a beloved disciple and a close sister, there were times when Qingling and the rest of the group could not understand what was going on in Xuanzhen’s mind.
It is very easy to feel alienated when you see things from a different perspective, or even a different vision. Qingling and the others have a deep bond with Xuan Zhen, but the only thing they lack is understanding.
They could not understand what Xuan Zhen was seeing and thinking, but Qing Yu could.
So, this night Xuan Zhen felt very relaxed and had a feeling that he had not felt for a long time.
When Xuan Zhen got up and went to the terrace, he looked out at the white, snow-covered palace and houses, and suddenly he raised his sleeve and waved it, and there were plum blossom-like crystals in the air, flying in all directions under the cold wind.
“The plum blossoms are as chaotic as snow when they are laid down.” She chanted softly.
“Reflecting snow and frost, the clear extinction surrounds the windy platform.” Qing Yu slowly stepped forward.
An inexplicable wind force came and wrapped the flying plum blossoms in crystals, forming a whirlwind that swept around the pavilion.
An invisible air was injected into the plum blossom crystals, giving them an air of vitality and granting them the scent of flowers. Petals were seen flying all over the entire terrace, and a cold and light floral fragrance came to the nostrils.
“Is it beautiful?”
“Very beautiful!”
————————
The rare snowfall brought not only a long-awaited snowy landscape to the south, but also some notable troubles.
At least, the Divine Warriors, who were forced to suspend their march due to the heavy snow, were extremely disgusted by the snow. To march on New Year’s Day is to race against time, but this snow has taken the meaning out of the sacrificial New Year.
In the snowy camp, Luo Feng, Marquis of Divine Constabulary, who had removed his black iron ghostly face to reveal a handsome face that contrasted greatly with his mask, frowned at the map spread out, his eyes filled with agitation.
“The soldiers of the Divine Martial Army are always garrisoning the border, protecting themselves from the PeaC*ck Remnant and the Cang Sheng Cult in the West. Luo Feng seemed to be talking to himself, but he also seemed to be referring to something else.
The Sheriff God at the side heard this and said, “No one would have expected the sudden snowfall in the south, so it was our mistake. But this time, it is necessary for us to move to Shuzhou. The Divine Constabulary knows that Shuzhou is close to the Western Region, and now that there are dark currents in the Western Region, we must first stabilise the rear before we can perfect our response to the possible chaos in the Western Region.
This is also for the sake of the Divine Constabulary not to be subjected to enemies in the future, so please forgive me, Divine Constabulary.”
Luo Feng looked up at the Shou Shen and said, “If it wasn’t for you stopping this Marquis, this drifting flying snow would have been solved by this Marquis alone.”
With his strength, which was considered formidable even in the Tong Shen realm, he could directly storm up and cut through the snow clouds, and no wind and snow would be a problem.
“From this place to Shuzhou, it is windy and snowy all the way, so it is hard to break the extreme snow clouds all the way behind you. Not to mention that there is also snow on the road, which is not something that can be cleared by the divine marquis alone. If we force it, excessive consumption ——”
The sheriff god’s square face hid a haze, as if he thought of something difficult.
“Mei Jun returns.” The clear, proud voice of a man came from outside the account.
“Come in.”
As the Sheriff God responded, a young man who looked like a cold and proud plum, dressed in white and embroidered with the plum seal, entered the palm and said with a clasped fist, “Your Excellency, Divine Marquis, we have gone all the way west and finally found traces. Amidst the wind and snow, there are indeed signs of man-made people, suspected to be gra*sland shamanic sorcery.”
“Shamanic sorcery,” said the Sheriff God, stroking his beard, “I have dealt with gra*sland shamans in the past, and they are good at communicating with heaven and earth and using their power. But if they were to cause such an extensive snowstorm, it would be impossible for the Grand Shaman and all the other senior shamans of the shamanic sect to do so.”
If the shaman had such power, there would be no need to fight with the Central Plains, just a few heavy snowfalls every winter. In a few more years, the population of the Central Plains would have been decimated.
“It is true that shamanism alone cannot do it, but with the help of someone who is well versed in the times of heaven, it is not impossible.”
Outside the tent, a man in black Confucian clothing entered once again and said, “Ming Rui has met you both.”
“What did Priest Ming mean by what he said earlier?” The Sheriff God asked in a hurry.
Ming Rui took out a black and grey scroll from his sleeve and handed it to the Sheriff God and Luo Feng, saying, “The Qintian Supervisor found that the snowstorm was a rare snowfall in decades, but it should not have had such a huge impact on the south. The reason for this is that someone deliberately guided the wind and snow and extradited it towards the south.”
The Sheriff God spread the scroll out so that its contents were displayed before his and Luo Feng’s eyes.
“What Qintian Superintendent means is that in order to guide the wind and snow, one needs to make predictions months in advance, lay down many arrangements, and finally have many experts communicate with heaven and earth to guide the general trend. Although the great shaman of the gra*slands is proficient in mediumship, it is still not enough to perform this act of tampering with the times of heaven.”
Luo Feng’s words were thick with murderous intent, “So, is there someone else who is secretly helping?”
“Yes,” said Ming Rui, “the Qintian Supervisor is speculating that the person who is secretly helping must be one of the greatest masters in the world, so that he can make these arrangements. It is extremely difficult for such masters to appear in the gra*slands, and it is most likely that someone in the Middle Kingdom helped.”
“A traitor, a crime worthy of death!” The Sheriff God shouted in a low voice, “One day, I will kill all these foreign traitors and internal traitors in order to set the world right!”
“It seems that I was right in my estimation before, there is indeed chaos in the Western Region, and the Gra*slanders are also involved.” Luo Feng analyzed.
“However, if they want to use the Western Region to invade the Central Plains, they are looking for death! A bunch of wolf dogs with broken bones can’t even break the Northern Zhou, where do they get the confidence to come to my Great Qian to invade.”
The Sheriff God shook his head and said, “This time the gra*slanders have made great moves, and have colluded with some thieves in the Central Plains. They may also attack us. We need to take early precautions.”
“Rats in the gutter, I would like to see them come, when ——-”
The halberd erected at the back suddenly vibrated and erupted with a cold, bone-chilling killing aura, “Under the killing halberd, no one can escape.”
