This time Ye Qin did not use spiritual energy, but used his body as a pen to meander back and forth on the ground. The hard snake body drew ravines on the ground.
It looks scrawled and shapeless, like ghostly symbols, but in fact it is full of rhythm between horizontal folds and strokes.
If someone looks down from above at this moment, they will find that this is obviously a huge talisman figure, but it cannot be seen on the flat ground because the area is too large, and it is not clear what it is at first glance.
Ye Qin placed the tripod in the center, and everything was ready. He muttered words, and golden light poured into the tripod, creating ancient ripples.
"Zheng——"
The ancient peak buzzed again, and the golden light suddenly spread out and flowed to the ground. The golden threads flowed and the entire talisman was activated.
At the same time, countless golden light spots appeared in various corners of the mountain, rising into the air one after another, and converging towards the center.
These talismans are the yellow talismans that Ye Qin asked the animals to place previously.
There is an extra layer of halo in Longyuan Mountain, which gathers these forces together and prevents them from dissipating between heaven and earth.
The surging power continued to wash away, and even set off bursts of spiritual mist. The faint coercion revealed in it made the animals look fearful.
Unable to withstand the power, they all moved away from the center of the formation, just looking at Ye Qin from a distance.
He was in the center, wrapped in golden light, like a god coming from the sky, and every emerald-green scale on his body was coated with a faint golden light.
The energy in the body that had been depleted due to the previous drawing of talismans and arrangement of formations became full at this moment.
A massive amount of spiritual power surged forward, even reaching its peak, giving Ye Qin the illusion of breaking through. However, he quickly settled down, got rid of distracting thoughts, released his spiritual power, and penetrated into the ground.
Ye Qin released his spiritual power to explore and felt an active and restless atmosphere underground.
He muttered something, and a huge talisman shadow soon appeared in the void, exactly the same as the one he had carved on the ground before, and at the same time, the shadow of a small tripod appeared next to it.
Golden light emerged from the talisman, instantly covering the ground, and strong power surged in.
There seemed to be countless golden threads interspersed in it, repairing unstable areas on the ground and making it more impregnable.
"Buzz——"
A vague clang sound came from the void again, the tripod body trembled slightly, and invisible huge waves were set off in the air, spreading towards the surroundings.
The small tripod in the center of the formation looked like an ancient giant. With just a slight movement, the majestic power was conveyed to the ground with the blessing of the formation.
Under the joint suppression of the formation, the talismans, the small cauldron, and the entire Longyuan Mountains, the strong power from the earth was finally defeated and retreated underground, no longer making any noise.
At the same time, golden light shone on Longyuan Mountain, and the entire mountain peak was shrouded in golden light.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain were naturally aware that the vision this time was more spectacular and magnificent than the last time. People couldn't help but want to worship. The momentum coming from it also carried a huge sense of oppression.
The village chief looked at the golden light in the sky, like the golden glow of the morning sun, and couldn't help but kneel to the ground, "It's the mountain god who has appeared and blessed us!"
During this earthquake, there was no damage to either people or livestock in the entire village. Even their houses were in good condition, which was in sharp contrast to the situation outside.
At the same time, as the time of the aftershocks detected by the Seismological Bureau is getting closer, there are still a large number of people who have not settled down.
The setting sun is like blood, full of ominous meaning, the sky is shrouded in blood, and all the scenery is covered with a vague red light.
As the sky gets darker, the people in the Fog City Security Area look hurried, and the air is filled with a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
The setting sun stretched Yu Zheng's shadow very long, and the fatigue in his expression was almost beyond words.
"How many people are still unsettled?"
The companion next to him said a number, and Yu Zheng suddenly turned pale. There was really too little time left for them. At this moment, he wished that time could freeze here until everyone was moved to a safe area.
But Yu Zheng knew that this was impossible. He looked at the sunset not far away, and his eyes were a little red.
The person next to me comforted him: "Major Yu, you have tried your best. Don't blame yourself too much."
There are many people like Yu Zheng who stayed and fought until the last moment. They just hope to do their best to save more people.
As the predicted time came closer and closer, the atmosphere among the crowd became more silent, and a deathly silence spread.
Some people even sobbed quietly because they couldn't bear the depressing atmosphere.
Currently in the earthquake bureau.
Everyone's face was filled with dark clouds, and they didn't even have the intention to start working. The predicted time was getting closer and closer.
"Ding--"
As the punctual time signal came from the wall, everyone trembled, as if they heard the ringing of the death bell, and showed sad expressions, as if they had seen the scene of the disaster area being hit hard again.
"Wait! How could-"
Only an exclamation was heard, and everyone followed the sound and looked over. The originally bright red undulating lines on the instrument had disappeared without a trace.
"No signal of aftershocks can be detected!"
The staff immediately stepped forward to check, thinking that there was a problem with the instrument. However, after inputting a few instructions, the machine did not make any errors. The signal band indeed disappeared without a trace, without any warning.
Everyone was stunned. After working in the Earthquake Bureau for so many years, I have detected many aftershocks, large and small, but nothing like this has ever happened before.
There may be problems with the machine and detection, but if it is fully detected, there will basically be no major differences.
Prior to this, the signal of magnitude five aftershock fluctuations was very strong and was quickly detected by instruments, so they were able to accurately judge the time and magnitude.
But just now, it suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a trace of aftermath, as if its existence was wiped out of thin air, which can be said to be unprecedented.
"What exactly is going on?"
"I don't know. Did the instrument go crazy? Or did we start to detect errors?"
Everyone changed the test, but the result was still the same. They were completely confused, but they were somewhat sure that the aftershocks had disappeared! The crisis in the foggy city can also be resolved!
The Seismological Bureau was still a little worried, fearing that the aftershocks that suddenly disappeared would cause another round of trouble. They stayed awake for 24 hours and stared at the instrument screen. Fortunately, nothing happened later.
When the news reached the top, the governments of the disaster-stricken cities were overjoyed. Regardless of the reason why the aftershocks disappeared, it was a great good thing for them, and they quickly accelerated the delivery of supplies.
Soon a lot of supplies were delivered to the disaster area, the lack of supplies became more abundant, manpower was constantly increasing, and everything was developing for the better.
Seeing that there are more and more people around, the injured have been effectively treated, and the number continues to decrease. The animals have almost distributed the elixirs in their hands, and they have returned to Longyuan Mountain one after another.
There were no aftershocks. Subsequent relief supplies arrived in the disaster-stricken area smoothly, along with medical personnel and others. The situation in the disaster-stricken area was quickly brought under control.
It is strange to say that for such a powerful earthquake, there will be many aftershocks in the follow-up, but the close monitoring of the National Seismological Administration found that there were no aftershocks at all.
Although I don’t know the reason, this undoubtedly relieved the government. Post-disaster reconstruction work is being carried out one after another, and it has begun to take shape and is effective. The normal life of the people is basically guaranteed.
A ray of sunshine broke through the darkness, and the haze that shrouded the city was finally dispelled. Looking at the rising sun, everyone's face showed the joy and luck of surviving the disaster.
Sun Zhenbang looked at the sun in a daze, but what he thought of was the scene that day. Everyone thought that there would be aftershocks, but they did not come in the end.
Everyone thought it was a coincidence. Maybe God couldn't bear it and felt pity, but he always felt that this incident seemed to have something to do with Longyuan Mountain. Could it be that the mountain god really heard his prayer?
"Captain Sun, what are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
Xie Yixuan came over and brought Sun Zhenbang back from his thoughts.
"Please help take care of me here, I have something to go out for!"
Looking at Sun Zhenbang's hurried back, Xie Yixuan was a little confused, "Why are you so anxious?"
Both manpower and supplies are sufficient. It doesn't matter if Sun Zhenbang leaves for a moment. The direction he is heading to right now is Longyuan Mountain!
However, due to the disaster, this road was not easy to walk. It was a long journey. Gradually, the green mountains not far away came into view. There was no change. Unlike the mess Sun Zhenbang saw in other places, this place was like a paradise.
The mountain peaks are as green as transparent crystals, reflected in the blue sky and white clouds. From the small villages at the foot of the mountains, smoke rises from the smoke, and the sunlight scatters like broken gold, embellishing the silence and tranquility.
Sun Zhenbang had an illusion in his trance, as if the earthquake had never happened.
Despite such a strong earthquake, everything in Longyuan Village was still intact, which was in sharp contrast to the rubble ruins on the city streets.
This can be said to be a miracle!
Even though Sun Zhenbang had some vague speculations in his mind, there were some ripples in his heart.
The usually lively village was also very quiet at this time. There seemed to be not many people at home and not many people in the fields. Seeing Sun Zhenbang's arrival, the village chief said with joy in his eyes: "Officer Sun, it's great that you're okay!"
Sun Zhenbang looked around and asked, "How is the situation here? Where are the other villagers?"
"We are doing well here under the protection of the mountain gods. When the earthquake started, the ground shook slightly, and most of the villagers ran to the town to help."
After listening to the village chief's account of what happened at the beginning of the earthquake, Sun Zhenbang was stunned when he learned that Longyuan Village was only shaking, not to mention stones, not even a tile fell.
There were no casualties, either to livestock or people.
The earthquake here passed over Longyuan Village like a dragonfly on water, just like a joke, completely different from the phenomena he saw in the outside world.
The village chief looked sad, "I also went to see the situation in the town earlier. If it weren't for the mountain god, I'm afraid our village would no longer exist."
After saying that, he looked at Sun Zhenbang with a strange look on his face, "Officer Sun, why are you here when you have time?"
"I'm here to confirm something with you. Did any strange phenomena appear on the mountain after the earthquake?"
Speaking of this, the village chief looked excited, "How could it not be possible? Many animals ran down the mountain at that time, still holding things in their hands. They must have listened to the mountain god's will."
"And just yesterday, a beam of golden light came out of the mountain, like a pillar of heaven. Officer Sun, you didn't see that scene. It was really shocking."
Seeing the strange phenomenon in the mountain, although the villagers were curious, they did not dare to disturb the mountain god rashly and just watched from a distance.
Hearing this, Sun Zhenbang's breathing became a little faster, and he asked anxiously: "When was it yesterday?"
The village chief thought for a while and said, "Probably around 5 p.m."
It happened to match the time predicted by the Earthquake Bureau. When the mysterious phenomenon occurred in Longyuan Mountain, it happened to be the time when the aftershocks occurred.
It was just a guess at first, but now Sun Zhenbang is more sure of what he is thinking. It was the mountain god who came forward to calm the disaster.
Sun Zhenbang never believed in any coincidences in this world, especially what happened on Longyuan Mountain.
His eyes turned slightly red, and his heart was filled with respect, "I knew the mountain god wouldn't just sit idly by."
Seeing Sun Zhenbang's sudden excitement, the village chief was a little strange. He didn't know why he had such a big reaction, "Officer Sun, what's wrong with you?"
Due to the inconvenient transportation caused by the earthquake and the tight time, the information was not transmitted in time, so some remote towns did not receive the news.
The village chief and others knew nothing about the disappearance of the magnitude 5 aftershock. It was not until Sun Zhenbang told the story that the village chief found out and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"I see. I asked you why there was something strange happening in the mountain. It must be the mountain god appearing and casting a spell to make the aftershocks disappear!"
The mountain god not only protected the entire village, but also saved many people invisibly.
Sun Zhenbang took a deep breath and slowly calmed down, "Yes, if it weren't for the mountain god, I don't know how many people would be injured this time."
"The mountain gods are very kind to us."
Both the village chief and Sun Zhenbang's worship of the mountain god has reached an unprecedented height.
At the same time, news of the two anomalies on Longyuan Mountain finally reached the outside world. After learning that the village at the foot of the mountain was intact during the earthquake, there was an uproar.
"Are you kidding? There is such a big gaping hole in the road on the ground, and there are no eggs left under the nest. How could something like this happen?"
"The steel and concrete in the city cannot withstand such a powerful earthquake. In the countryside, there are only brick and tile buildings. How could they not be damaged? Could it be that they were blown up deliberately to attract attention?"
"For the sake of popularity, marketing accounts really dare to speak out, are they not afraid of being invited to drink tea, and are they not afraid of retribution for taking advantage of the traffic in disaster areas? They are really evil-hearted."
"Many local people saw a golden light appearing in Longyuan Mountain shrouding the area before the earthquake, so the surrounding area was safe and sound."
"Do you still remember the five-magnitude aftershocks predicted by the Earthquake Bureau earlier? It is said that the aftershocks disappeared because of abnormalities in Longyuan Mountain."
"You guys upstairs can brag to your heart's content. You're talking nonsense just for the sake of traffic. How can the disappearance of aftershocks have anything to do with a mountain!"
Many people said they did not believe it because they had not witnessed it with their own eyes.
However, because it involves current hot topics, as well as topics such as the disappearance of aftershocks, the popularity is getting higher and higher.
A subsequent Weibo post from an insider pushed the matter even more into confusion.
"You are still thinking too simply. I suggest you check the information about Longyuan Mountain before commenting. Moreover, Longyuan Mountain was blocked after arriving. Why do you think this is?"
