As the leader, the village chief offered a stick of incense with utmost respect.
"I pray that the mountain god will bless my Longyuan Village and that heavy rain will fall soon to alleviate the drought. I, Liu Deming, would like to thank the mountain god here."
All the villagers followed behind the village chief and kowtowed devoutly, "Please the mountain god, please let it rain as soon as possible."
"If all these crops die, then we will have no way to survive."
"Please ask the mountain god to show mercy."
Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in unison.
Hu Xiaocao looked at everyone, raised his head and asked his mother, "Mom, will Grandpa Mountain God hear you?"
The woman's eyes were full of tenderness, and she touched Hu Xiaocao's head, "Don't worry, the mountain god will not just sit back and ignore us, he will definitely hear us."
Hu Xiaocao clenched his fists, his eyes full of new appointments, "Yes, I also believe in Grandpa Mountain God!"
"Grandpa Mountain God will definitely help us get through this difficult time."
This large-scale sacrifice lasted until midnight and the villagers returned home to rest.
The villagers were full of hope, but unfortunately the expected heavy rain still did not fall.
The rice fields were completely dry, and deep cracks spread quickly like spider webs. The crops were like fish that lacked water, dying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ground was constantly being roasted, revealing ravines, like wounds that could not be healed.
As the heavy rain continued, the light in the villagers' eyes went out little by little.
In the face of natural disasters, human beings sometimes seem extremely small and powerless. Apart from praying silently, they have almost no choice.
After the sacrifice, it still didn't rain for several days.
The village chief watches the weather every day. He smokes dry cigarettes, as if this can relieve his inner anxiety, and thinks of what Cadre Zheng and others said when they came last time.
"We can't make it rain, but we must remember that fires must not break out. If this happens, it is no joke."
The villagers who live on the mountains are well aware of the horror of wildfires and how difficult they are to extinguish them once they start, especially in this dry weather.
Even villagers who now go to worship the mountain god are strictly ordered not to use incense and candles, but to place tributes. The purpose is to prevent the wind from blowing and carrying the fire to the mountain.
However, whatever you are afraid of will come to you. Sometimes God just likes to joke. Human beings can control it, but natural factors cannot.
The scorching sun scorched the earth, always dispelling the darkness and bringing warm red sun, but at this moment it showed a ruthless side.
The mountain stream has dried up, and a shriveled frog is lying on the rock. There are many same dead fish in the water, giving off a fishy smell.
Those land creatures can still find a place to cool off, but the unlucky ones are the frogs and fish.
Due to lack of water, plants' roots and stems also wither and turn yellow. Even plants that are deeply rooted in the ground are caught off guard when faced with soil full of ravines.
The ground is covered with fallen leaves and branches, and the moisture inside has been evaporated and dried. The ignition point is very low. Coupled with the direct sunlight, dots of light spots are formed on the ground.
Soon a wisp of white smoke floated out, and the leaves instantly became curled and spread to other combustible materials nearby.
The crackling sound is endless.
Because it was during the day, and it was in the deep mountains and old forests, far away from people, the place was not eye-catching.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
As soon as the mountain wind blew, tongues of fire soon swept up, engulfing the dead leaf, and then spread towards the surroundings with lightning speed.
There are endless mountains. The place where Ye Qin is located is the largest among them, and there are other small peaks around it.
The location of the fire was at the top of the west mountain, separated from the mountain where Ye Qin was by a small mountain peak.
With so many combustibles around, coupled with the dry weather, the wind blew and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
As night fell, Ye Qin went out, and the silver light fell on the earth. Everything was no different from usual. '
The bright red snake letter trembled uneasily, and a burning smell was looming. Although it was very faint, he still caught it.
Ye Qin seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes fell accurately on the northwest direction, "It's a mountain fire!"
The most worrying thing happened. The ground temperature was too high, coupled with the lack of rain, finally caused a fire.
And looking at this situation, it seems that the mountain fire has been burning for a while. "It's terrible now. I don't know if the villagers at the foot of the mountain have noticed it."
Ye Qin looked not far away, and there was a solemn look in his eyes.
If it is at the beginning, as long as the source of the fire is found, the mountain fire is relatively easy to put out.
However, the fire started in a deep forest and it was the hottest time of the day, so by the time people discovered it, it was already too late.
A gray-faced man ran towards the village, like a savage beast behind him, shouting loudly all the way, and many villagers poked their heads out of their homes.
"Hurry up, what happened?"
Someone recognized him as the ranger Lao Wu and quickly asked: "Old Wu, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a mess?"
Old Wu's face was covered with traces of smoke and fire, "Oh no, there's a mountain fire!"
Everyone was shocked and said, "How could this happen? Didn't the police call the police?"
"I called 119, but I guess I won't be able to get over it for a while."
You have to pass through a winding mountain road to get here, and their location is relatively remote.
Since they were at the foot of the mountain, the fire started at a relatively high altitude and was on another mountain peak. Therefore, from the perspective of the villagers, it cannot be seen that if Lao Wu hadn't reported it, they wouldn't have even known about it.
"What should we do now? Let's go put out the fire."
The people who heard this couldn't help but rolled their eyes, "This is a mountain fire. Even if we all in the village put it out, we can't put it out."
Although there are fire extinguishers in the village, there are not many. They can only put out small fires. Moreover, they do not have professional props, so everyone is helpless.
"Then what should we do now? We can't just stare at it."
The village chief was highly respected and knowledgeable, so he immediately ordered: "Old Wu, please lead some villagers to the outskirts to keep an eye on the mountain fire situation, and remember to protect yourself."
"Zhuzi, Lao Ma, Xiao Wu and you guys, go to the highway to show the way, and take the firefighters to take a shortcut to prevent them from getting sidetracked."
"As for other people, don't get together here and wait for news from the village loudspeaker at any time."
In the face of natural disasters, they can only respond to changes by remaining unchanged.
"good!"
Everyone nodded quickly.
The village chief's gaze fell not far away, full of worry and uneasiness.
The green mountains stretch for miles, and their place seems peaceful, but the mountain fire is too powerful, and if the fire cannot be controlled, it is likely to spread to other mountains.
"Hopefully the fire can be controlled as soon as possible."
"If the mountain god really has a spirit in heaven, you must protect our Longyuan Village."
Wildfires are so powerful that it is difficult to put them out because there are so many combustibles around them, and any spark can rekindle them.
"Didi-didi-"
The piercing whistle coming from not far away sounded like the sound of nature to everyone. The red car dragged its heavy body forward slowly, carrying everyone's hope of extinguishing the fire.
The car door opened, and the bright orange and yellow colors were eye-catching, which also slightly calmed everyone's panic caused by the wildfire.
The firefighters carried equipment inside and jumped out of the car quickly.
Because there is a section of the mountain road that is difficult to navigate and cannot be passed by cars, a team formed by firefighters and villagers can only carry heavy equipment and transport it to the mountain on motorcycles or mountain wheels.
Halfway over the mountain, a heat wave hit us. Within a few seconds, our clothes were wet with sweat, and then quickly evaporated.
It was like a layer of thick and sticky armor was formed on the clothes, which was melted by the high temperature and then gathered together again. This repeated layering made the oppressed people almost unable to breathe.
The flames swept up, almost lighting up most of the sky. The red and orange lights intertwined together, like a monster with teeth and claws, constantly demonstrating towards the firefighters.
Fire Chief Qian Qixue made a prompt decision, "Team 1 will open the road, team 2 will be responsible for setting up water pumps, team 3 will set up isolation points, and team 4 will survey the situation to see if the fire can be put out with helicopters."
They were well trained and quickly grasped the basics.
"The entire fire line is about 800 meters long, burning in a V-shape, spreading down the mountain and to the west. The fire is spreading very quickly, and the number is still growing at a terrifying speed."
At this rate, the area burned will only increase.
"The terrain here is complex, and turbulence is easily formed at high altitudes at the fire site, which will affect the flight of the aircraft. The method of extinguishing the fire by aircraft is not feasible."
The firefighters quickly got into work, but the wildfire was so fierce that their hair was dry and wet, and then steamed dry by the high temperature again.
The water gun shoots out like a long dragon, and countless water droplets spurt out and fall on the flames, making a sizzling sound.
The fire seemed to be getting smaller, but the surrounding temperature was too high. After the water droplets were evaporated, the fire returned to its previous state.
At such a high temperature, even if you are wearing protective clothing, you can still feel the scorching heat.
Shooting with water cannons was in vain, but if there were any sparks, they would merge with the fire line nearby and start a prairie fire again.
The thick smoke almost completely swallowed up the orange color. Faced with the fire, these firefighters fighting on the front line did not flinch.
Their mouths were dry and they were constantly secreting saliva, but their throats still felt like cuts.
"No, captain, we must take other effective measures. Besides, we don't have enough manpower, so we have to ask for support."
The hoarse shouts of teammates came from the intercom, along with the whistling mountain wind and the crackling sound of a fire burning.
Qian Qixue looked at the fire not far away with a serious look.
The terrain here is somewhat complicated, with high mountains, steep slopes, hills, crisscrossing valleys, and obvious ups and downs. Under the influence of wind speed and slope, mountain fires can easily form a microclimate in the fire scene, affecting the development of the fire.
It can even separate into multiple intermittent lines of fire and spread in all directions. The shape of the fire field is extremely irregular. If the layers of external fire and internal fire are not clear, it can also produce three-dimensional combustion, making it extremely difficult to put out.
He immediately reported the news here, hoping that his superiors would send more personnel.
"The fire here is about to reach Level 4, and may even reach Level 5 in the future!"
The city attaches great importance to this and has launched an emergency plan, because there are many mountains and forests here. Once the entire mountain catches fire and spreads to other places, the consequences will be out of control.
The transportation department was dispatched urgently to direct large firefighting vehicles and material transportation on various mountain roads to avoid congestion, and also helped with transportation.
The meteorological department sent people over and set up a logistics team on site to not only observe the conditions for artificial rainfall, but also provide precise wind direction and wind speed warnings to help firefighters put out the wildfires faster.
Precision instruments are placed in safe spots, and supplies are constantly being transported.
The wind-powered fire extinguisher on the top of the mountain kept roaring and making a sound that shook the earth. It seemed that even the ground was shaking, fighting the fire to the end.
The sound of water pumps has never stopped, and the sound of machines can be heard continuously, connecting the long water belts and spreading among the mountains.
These things were shipped one after another, and nearly 3,000 sets of forest fire-fighting equipment participated in this fire-fighting battle.
Human beings are like little ants, walking through the deep mountains. There are heavy supplies in the water belt of more than 200 meters, which are carried by their hands and shoulders to transport them into the mountains.
The flames are high and the fire is strong. The thick fire fighting uniforms are steaming inside and roasting outside, which is unbearable. Such high temperature can no longer be detected. Only they themselves know what it means to be sweating like rain.
Faced with such harsh environment and conditions, they never stopped, spinning like a top, barely even having time to drink water.
Sweat slipped from my cheeks and evaporated without wiping.
That flash of bright yellow gathered in the mountains and forests, like an orange river, but compared with the surrounding sea-like flames, it was still too weak.
As time goes by, the situation is still not optimistic.
It was already daytime, and to make matters worse, the scorching high temperature once again enveloped the earth, making it more difficult to put out the wildfire.
The red sun hanging in the sky seems unaware of the suffering on the earth.
With the blessing of such weather, the temperature in the mountains and forests has reached terrifying figures, breaking the three-digit mark.
Even the firefighters' boots melted and their feet were burned. Even professional protective clothing could not withstand such temperatures.
They are mortal, and even if they have a will of steel, they will still experience pain and injuries.
And due to the high temperature, some people also suffer from heat stroke and fainting. The water inside and outside the body is constantly evaporated and cannot be replenished in time.
Everyone on the mountain felt heavy-hearted and even regarded this mission as their last.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain could already see the light of the fire not far away, which was so obvious even in the daytime. The thick smoke was billowing, and the smell of burning in the air was heading towards them.
As countless people and firefighting equipment were transported here, everyone felt uneasy.
"Do you think this fire can be put out?"
"With so many firefighters here and such big machines, they should be able to put it out."
"But I think the fire is quite big. The mountain fire is too fierce. I can't tell. What if it can't be extinguished?"
Everyone immediately fell into silence after hearing this sentence.
If it cannot be extinguished, then we can only let the mountain fire continue to burn and burn the entire mountain. After there is nothing to burn, it will naturally extinguish.
But the key point is that there are several mountains nearby, and there are villages at the foot of the mountains. No one can guarantee that when the strong wind blows, the sparks will fall to other places and start burning again.
"Bah, you have such a crow's mouth, the mountain fire will definitely be extinguished."
The villager who just said that also realized his gaffe, "Yes, yes, I just said it casually."
The fire on the mountain is too strong. To ensure safety, only professionals can operate it. Even if the villagers want to help, they can only help transport some supplies and cannot stay too long.
A group of villagers had just come down from the mountain, their faces were gray and covered with sweat from the thick smoke that drifted over.
"How is the situation on the mountain?"
The villagers who were transporting supplies looked at each other with a solemn expression, "The situation is not good. The fire on the hilltop opposite is very big."
Hearing this, everyone's mood sank to the bottom. They could only pray in their hearts that it would rain soon, even light rain. Even if it couldn't put out the wildfire, it would at least prevent the situation from getting worse.
It's a pity that there is only dry wind blowing in the air without any trace of moisture. Everyone is restless and various emotions are intertwined in their hearts.
The scorching sun made fire-fighting operations even more difficult.
"If artificial rainfall can be carried out, coupled with our surface work, it can greatly relieve the pressure."
Hearing Qian Qixue's words, the meteorologist looked bitter, "It's not that we don't want to, but we can't. After testing, there are no conditions for artificial rainfall here."
The most important thing for artificial rainfall is to have suitable clouds with a thickness of more than 2,000 meters, lack of ice crystals but abundant water vapor, etc.
The sky is clear now, and even if there are clouds, they are thin and do not meet the conditions for artificial rainfall.
"Then if it is not artificial, is it likely that it will rain normally?"
The meteorologist still shook his head, "The possibility is almost 0. According to the latest weather conditions, there will be no rain in the past few days."
Everyone was distraught. Artificial rain was not working. With the information coming back from the front line, Qian Qixue seemed to have made some kind of determination, "Notify the people and implement the burning tactics."
The ignition tactic is commonly known as "fighting fire with fire."
The fire head is manually ignited and connected with the forest fire burning in the opposite direction, causing the joint to suddenly lack oxygen and lose the conditions for burning.
To put it simply, it means to burn the combustibles in advance. After burning, the fire will spread and there will be no combustibles. When the two fires meet, they will automatically extinguish. Finally, manpower will be needed.
This is a common method for dealing with forest fires, which can control large-area fires efficiently and quickly.
"Would it be too dangerous? Due to the influence of terrain and climate conditions, eddies may be generated locally, and wind speed and direction are uncertain, which can easily lead to sudden changes in forest fire behavior, making it difficult to accurately predict the spread of fires."
Someone raised an objection.
"All kinds of fire-fighting methods have been used before. After comprehensive consideration, this is the only feasible method. If no measures are taken to deal with the spreading wildfire, it is very likely that it will spread down and affect the people!"
One wave comes after another.
Soon a surveyor came running over in a panic.
"No, the wind direction over the mountain fire has changed now. It was originally a northwest wind, but now it has turned into a southeast wind, spreading towards our mountain!"
The fire in the mountains changes rapidly. If their mountain top also catches fire, no matter how powerful they are, it will be useless.
Qian Qixue made a decisive decision, "Start the burning tactics immediately!"
He took out the map on the mountain and pointed to the southeast.
"The first and second teams ignited the fire at the front. Once the fire was too small, they used wind fire extinguishers to support the fire. If the fire was too big, they used water pumps to suppress it to ensure that the ignited fire spreads in the predetermined direction and ensured that the fire was within the control range."
"Teams 3 and 4 are responsible for responding from behind, and they should be prepared to respond accordingly if the situation arises. Even if the wildfire cannot be completely extinguished, it must not be allowed to continue to spread!"
Everyone started working in an orderly manner, hoping that it would be useful this time.
Hu Xiaocao and her daughter at the foot of the mountain, because one was weak and the other was young, could not help much. They could only hold water and distribute it to everyone, which was a small effort.
Watching the tongues of fire sweeping across the sky, both mother and daughter were a little uneasy.
Hu Xiaocao's eyes fell into the distance, worried about Ye Qin's safety, "Will Grandpa Mountain God be fine?"
"Don't worry, the mountain god is very capable. Nothing will happen to you."
"Grandpa Mountain God is so powerful, why can't he put out the fire? Is it because he spent too much mana before?"
Seeing Hu Xiaocao's guilty and self-reproaching look, the woman felt a little uncomfortable.
No one wants to see wildfires happen, but sometimes natural disasters are unavoidable and beyond human control.
"Good boy, this is none of your business. The mountain god is so kind. He must want to help, but he is not omnipotent."
Hu Xiaocao thought of the small animals he had seen in the forest. The mountain god could escape, but what about those small animals?
Ye Qin, who was worried about the mother and daughter, was wandering in the mountains next door to investigate the situation.
At this moment, the wildfire has begun to spread to the mountain next door. If the wildfire cannot be controlled, it may spread to the mountain where he is.
Tongues of fire swept up and shot straight into the sky.
The sky was burned red, like a huge furnace, imprisoning these creatures in the mountains.
Ye Qin saw with his own eyes that the fire showed its ferocious red face and swallowed up a small animal that had no time to escape.
The smell of burnt fur, accompanied by crackling sounds and the whining of animals, is endless.
The little animal seemed to have seen Ye Qin, and stretched out its front paws in a humane manner, as if it wanted to ask him to save itself. However, the fire was so fierce that it turned into a charred corpse in the blink of an eye.
Bodies like this can be seen everywhere.
Ye Qin couldn't help but sigh, "Life and death matter."
Thick smoke filled the surroundings, like the shadow cast by the god of death, with poisonous gas erupting everywhere.
The original beautiful mountains and clear waters were either covered by fire or covered with a layer of black smoke, and no longer looked as vibrant as before.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a purgatory on earth. The animals are mourning all over the place, and there are burnt fur and bodies everywhere.
Those animals had nowhere to escape and no escape. Even if they escaped the fire, they inhaled too much carbon dioxide and finally couldn't hold on anymore and staggered down.
Among fires, the most deadly ones are carbon dioxide and other toxic gases, followed by high-temperature fires.
The fainting little animal was swallowed up by the fire that followed, and its fresh life disappeared in an instant.
The fire dragon was rampaging, wreaking havoc on the entire mountain forest with a destructive force. Wherever it went, no creature was spared.
The big tree that blocked the sky slowly fell down, leaving only the charred body, emitting a weak cry, and the ground was all covered with black traces of burning flames.
Because Ye Qin's body has been forged and tempered, coupled with the blessing of cultivation, he has a certain degree of high temperature tolerance and is also resistant to these poisonous smoke.
But other animals are not so lucky.
Many burnt corpses came into view along the way, and the whole scene looked shocking.
The fire has burned two mountains, and if it continues, the casualties will be even greater.
Although the fire has not yet reached the top of Ye Qin's mountain, according to this trend, it will be a matter of time.
All kinds of tragic situations kept unfolding in front of Ye Qin, but he remained calm, just a little sad.
Among these little animals, there were even a few that came to worship him and also bathed in the moonlight.
However, in the cycle of life and death, things in the world are impermanent and turn into charcoal in the blink of an eye. It can only be said that life and death are all on a thin line.
But such wildfires are a disaster for animals, or more accurately, for the ecology of the entire mountain range.
In this mountain fire, I am afraid that no living thing except Ye Qin can be spared.
Ye Qin seemed to have a deeper understanding of life and death.
God is ruthless sometimes. It is not directed at any living thing, but everything has its own destiny.
From the beginning to the end, it is often just an instant. No one knows which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
Ye Qin didn't want to get involved, because both humans and animals should be treated equally.
God is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs.
The meaning of this statement is that God is fair and treats everything equally.
Ye Qin is not willing to get involved in this kind of thing, because there is no cause and effect involved.
However, this wildfire affected not only these creatures, but also himself.
My own cultivation progress will also be disrupted by this mountain fire.
Of course Ye Qin could just leave, but at worst he could just continue practicing in another place.
But where should the bones in the cave go? Are they really going to be burned in this fire?
"I started practicing because of the white bones. If I let them be swallowed up by the flames, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial to my practice."
The snake letter seemed to become redder under the reflection of the fire, and the snake's pupils turned into a straight vertical line, imprinted with the light of the fire not far away.
Ye Qin seemed to have made up his mind. He would never allow his original visualization object to be burned up by the fire, so he had to do something.
"It's a pity that I don't have the magical power to move mountains and fill seas, and to control the wind and rain, so I can't turn a dragon into a dragon and put out this fire."
If the ability could be stronger, maybe it would be possible.
Ye Qin looked up at the sky, "It would be great if there was a heavy rain at this time. Is there really nothing we can do?"
The sun was shining, the clouds were white, and there was no sign of rain.
Looking at the thin clouds on the horizon, something flashed through Ye Qin's mind.
Recalling all the previous events, he remembered that the first thunder disaster came just after he broke through to the second realm and visualized the moon.
"Maybe... this method is feasible?"
"Use visualization to induce thunder and catastrophe and extinguish fire!"
Thinking of this, Ye Qin seemed to have a clear understanding, no longer hesitated, and immediately changed direction.
After returning to the top of his mountain, he hovered on the stone, half of his body standing upright, obviously ready to meditate!
Although the fire hadn't burned out yet, the little animals were already keenly aware of something. They ran out of the caves and headed down the mountain, gradually converging into a river of different colors.
Some of the creatures were disgraced, with most of their fur scorched. They had obviously barely managed to survive from the sea of fire on the hilltop next door.
But there are not many such lucky people, and most of the creatures were buried in the sea of fire.
As the fire spreads, these animals have to run exhausted to reach places where the wildfire can't burn them.
The birds were lucky, but it was difficult for these beasts to outrun the blazing fire.
Looking at the fire in the distance, all the scenery was submerged in the thick smoke, Ye Qin's mentality gradually fell into peace, and returned to his previous appearance of no sadness or joy.
Mountain fires have devoured too many lives. If he chooses to visualize mountain fires, he may easily become angry and resentful, which will not be helpful to Ye Qin's cultivation. Moreover, he does not want to visualize flames.
Although the situation is urgent now, he will not randomly find a visualization object to fool himself or God. This is disrespectful to the Taoism and irresponsible to himself.
Ye Qin looked up at the sky. The sun's words seemed to be a good choice.
And since he had already visualized the moon, it stands to reason that he could now also visualize the sun.
But as I said before, the sun's brilliance is too hot and its power is extremely domineering. It can easily burn yourself. Ye Qin wants to be absolutely sure before visualizing the sun.
"But if you visualize...what about it?"
"Infinitely powerful, and extremely strong and powerful!"
Thinking of this, Ye Qin seemed to have some idea, and his heart was very moved. It was rare that he was slightly excited.
"If that's the case, the first step is to visualize "clouds"!"
Based on his thoughts and the current situation, Guan Yun is the most suitable.
Ye Qin found a place with relatively high terrain. The mountain fire had not yet spread, leaving him enough time to contemplate.
He dismissed his distracting thoughts and seemed to turn into a piece of bluestone. He looked at the thin clouds above his head and fell into deep thought.
The sky is clear and the clouds are not many, even thin.
If you ignore the scene of the burning mountain fire.
Under the blue sky, the leisurely white clouds floated under the sky, and the scenery looked pretty good.
All the animals in the mountains and forests were running for their lives, trying to escape from the sea of fire, but Ye Qin was the only one here who was calm, as if he was a small world of his own.
The white clouds are everlasting, and they are there no matter it is day or night.
Clouds are the tangible result of Earth's vast water cycle.
Water evaporates to form water vapor, and once the water vapor is supersaturated, water molecules gather around fine dust in the air. The resulting water droplets or ice crystals scatter sunlight in all directions, which creates the appearance of clouds.
Compared to the dazzling and well-known sun, moon and stars, it seems inconspicuous, but it seems to be everywhere and is closely related to human life from ancient times to the present.
The ancients knew how to read clouds and observe celestial phenomena. Not only that, they could also draw weather cloud maps.
The clouds are like weather again.
As early as the time of Emperor Yao, full-time astronomical officials were established to specialize in "observation of phenomena and timing".
The oracle bone inscriptions unearthed in China already contain weather phenomena such as wind, rain, snow, clouds, rainbows, and thunder. This shows that the earliest humans paid great attention to the weather.
Divinations are even used to predict weather information, and weather is closely related to clouds.
From the Qin Dynasty to the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to find various folk atlases recording cloud atlases.
"Han Shu Yi Wen Zhi" includes "Guozhang Guan Ni Yun Yu", Song Dynasty classics include "Sun and Moon Hao Er Yun Qi Tu", the early Western Han Dynasty "Four Gods Clouds and Qi Tu" and so on.
There is a detailed record in "Zhanyun Qi Chapter": "The heaven and earth are in contact with each other, and the yin and yang are thin. This is called qi. It accumulates over time to form clouds. All things are formed below and the qi corresponds to the top..."
It can be seen that "clouds" are formed by the accumulation of "qi", and "qi" is generated by "people". Therefore, people gather to become angry, and qi accumulates to form clouds.
When Ye Qin visualizes white clouds, he is visualizing another kind of "qi", which is exactly in line with the third realm of "refining qi of heaven and earth."
I don't know when, a white cloud floated above Ye Qin's head, casting a small shadow on the ground, and he stopped for it.
There seemed to be an invisible thread connecting Ye Qin to the white clouds above his head.
The mountain wind kept blowing, but this small cloud did not change at all.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the surrounding clouds are constantly moving towards it, and then they get bigger and bigger.
