"Fellow Taoist, are you saying that the world has been severely cold in recent years, and the changes came from the Northern Underworld Capital?"
When Jin Yun looked ugly, Lu Yuan also reacted and asked with the same expression.
The weather has been getting colder and colder in the past few years. Although Chu State is located in the south of the Yangtze River, it has not been affected much by this.
But it's only temporary.
If it is true as Jin Yun said, the cold air between heaven and earth gathers in Beiming Youdu, and Beiming Youdu is equivalent to a container to contain the cold air.
At this time, there was a problem with the container, and the cold air began to slowly leak out.
Lu Yuan couldn't imagine what impact this cold air leakage would eventually have.
No one knows how much cold energy has been stored in Beiming Youdu, which originally absorbed the cold air from the entire Kyushu world?
And if all this cold air is released, how strong will be its impact on the climate of heaven and earth?
It is only the fifth year since the mutation occurred.
But in the north, on the snowy plateau, the cold air leaking out has already affected the life and death of some tribes.
If this situation continues for more than ten years, or even hundreds of years, many of the nine states and ten regions, or the northern countries, will be completely transformed into a country of frost.
Lu Yuan didn't know anything else.
But most of the snow-covered plateau on the edge of Chu State will become a snow country, right?
As for the Tibetan people on the snowfield, it is certain that most of them will die, not just the whole clan.
The snowfield is not much better, so how much better can the neighboring Zhou State, and the Wei, Zhao and other states further north of Zhou State, be?
Even these northern countries can withstand this cold disaster with their deep foundation.
But in the end heavy casualties were unavoidable.
In fact, even these things are fine.
But Lu Yuan was more worried that those countries in the north would eventually be forced by the cold disaster to become the Snowfield Tibetan people they are today and make a massive march south, which would be a bit fatal.
When he thought of the vast and overwhelming scene of hundreds of millions of people from the North heading south, even though he was already a condensed immortal cultivator, he still couldn't help but feel suffocated.
'However, this kind of scene should be unlikely to occur. And even if it happens, the first unlucky ones will be Wei, Zhao and other countries.
Then when Wei, Zhao and other countries were forced southward due to the cold wave, the first to bear the brunt were Zhou and Liang.
There are Yongzhou and Qingzhou to the north of Yangzhou, so there should be no need to worry about the impact of the cold wave. At best, we should take precautions early to prevent Zhou and Liang from jumping over the wall. '
Lu Yuan thought this and felt much better.
Jinyun, who was opposite him, confirmed his guess and said: "Your Majesty, you are not wrong. The cold wave in recent years is due to the influence of Beiming Youdu."
Jinyun nodded, then looked at Lu Yuan's ugly face and said in a serious tone: "In ancient times, the current Nine Provinces and Ten Territories were not divided in such detail.
At that time, the world was a barbaric state, with the four poles of yin and yang out of balance. Earthquakes occurred in the mountains in the west, storms raged in the sea in the east, ice and snow froze everything in the north, and poisonous fire burned the earth in the south.
Only in a part of Zhongzhou, the earth's veins are barely stable and can support people's survival.
Later, the ancient immortals broke through the realm and used their great magic power to adjust the earth's feng, water and fire.
Stabilizing the earth's veins in the far west and quelling earthquakes.
Filling the eye of the sea to the east eliminated the storm.
The poisonous fire was sealed in the south and the earth was cultivated.
In the far north, the Northern Underworld Capital was built, which not only contained the cold air, but also served as the foundation for the passage between the two realms.
Such great supernatural powers stabilized the four poles, making the wilderness gradually conducive to the survival of our human race. Then the human race multiplied and spread, and its territory expanded, and the nine states and ten regions were slowly divided.
After all the cold air in Beiming Youdu is released, it disperses into the heaven and earth again.
I don’t know what the outcome will be in the ten regions of Kyushu and other places.
But the northern grasslands, the western Gobi, and the Xuanyu snow forest, the three northern regions, as well as most of Jizhou and Yanzhou in the north of Kyushu, and a small part of Xuzhou, will definitely turn into frozen soil.
By then, these three regions and three states will be covered in ice and snow, and will no longer be suitable for human survival.
All living creatures on it will face death and destruction.
And this date of destruction should not be far away.
In as soon as twenty or thirty years, or as slowly as a hundred years, the cold air in Beiming Youdu will be completely released.
By then, hundreds of millions of creatures in the above areas will either migrate to the south, or they will gradually wither and die in the wind and snow, with no other way to survive. "
Jinyun told this cruel fact word for word.
Three states and three regions, an area of nearly a million miles. How many people live in such a large area?
Even though the three regions of the North are as harsh as the snow-covered plateau, the total number of tribes and nations above them is estimated to be between 40 and 50 million people.
The remaining three states of Yan, Ji, and Xu have a combined population of over hundreds of millions.
According to Lu Yuan's estimation, the total population of the three states and three regions should be close to 200 million.
This is 200 million people.
If the Northern Underworld completely loses control and the ice comes, 200 million people will completely lose their homes and become refugees, and they will have no choice but to migrate south to survive.
When this flood of refugees comes, it is hard to imagine what a violent impact it will have on the original social structure of the southern states.
'No, maybe you don't have to wait for the cold to come. '
Lu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Jinyun, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Since Feishuang Dao can come to the Chu Kingdom today to tell him, the King of Chu, what will happen in the future of the cold wave.
As for the northern countries, especially the three states of Yan, Ji, and Xu that bear the brunt, Lu Yuan does not believe that there are no immortal sects similar to Feishuang Dao, or other immortal cultivation forces.
Perhaps at this moment, or even a year or two ago, or even longer ago, some immortal sects had already gone to find those secular dynasties in the north and told them about this disaster.
And think about the changes in Kyushu’s trends in the past few years.
First, the Qingzhou Liang Kingdom, regardless of the impact of arousing vigilance and hostility from all countries in the world, brazenly annexed the country from Qingzhou and directly unified the entire Qingzhou.
Subsequently, this move was like a domino, instantly causing changes in the surrounding countries. The northern countries began to expand their armies and prepare for war, constantly provoking disputes in their respective states, and accelerating the pace of unification.
As a result, the entire land of Kyushu became filled with smoke, like a powder keg, as if it was about to explode at a moment's notice.
Lu Yuan originally thought that it was because of the strength of the Liang State that the surrounding countries were fearful and vigilant. In order to protect themselves, they embarked on the path of military expansion and preparation for war.
But thinking about it carefully now, maybe that's not the case.
Lu Yuan has read through ancient books and gained extensive knowledge over the years, so he has a little understanding of events in ancient times through some rumors and records.
Therefore, as for what Jinyun just said, the Zhongzhou area among the four poles is roughly known where it is.
The specific location of Zhongzhou in ancient times was the entire Qingzhou, as well as the two counties of Henan and Nanyang to the east of Yongzhou, a small part of southern Xuzhou, and most of Yuzhou next to Xuzhou. Together, they were about the size of the two states today.
As the Liang State, which occupies half of the Zhongzhou area, when the three states and three regions in the north suffered, as the only stable area, it was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
There are two major immortal sects in the Liang Kingdom: Danding Dao and Canglong Dao. These two celestial sects are located in Qingzhou, and their disciples all come from here. They are closely related to the Liang Kingdom.
If they say that they have no connection with Liang Guochaotang, even Lu Yuan would not believe it even to death.
It should be noted that at the Tianluo Dharma Assembly, he saw with his own eyes Yang Jing, who represented the Yue Kingdom, and went to participate in the congratulations.
Since the Tianluo Dharma Assembly is like this, then the Dharma assembly held by Danding Road and Canglong Road in the north should also have similar things.
Therefore, when these two immortal sects noticed the changes in Beiming Youdu, it should be reasonable and reasonable to inform Liang Guo of the news in advance.
It was precisely because the Liang State sensed that the disaster was coming, and in order to prepare for the refugee impact in the north in the next three weeks, that they could not wait to unify Qingzhou, hoping to gather the power of one state to deal with this catastrophe.
At the same time, the countries in Yan, Ji, and Xuzhou in the north were expanding their armies and preparing for war. Not all of them were for the purpose of self-protection, but they were also preparing for the southward migration after the approaching cold wave.
Since our own territory is no longer suitable for survival in the coming future.
So in order to survive, countless countries and tribes in the three states and three regions naturally had no choice but to migrate southward, to places suitable for survival.
On this migration road, anyone who stands in the way will become an enemy and an obstacle to plundering survival supplies.
Kill, plunder, conquer...
The above are the main themes of all the nations in the North under the oppression of the cold wave.
And under this melody, it is a hell filled with death and depression.
At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to be able to see the rivers composed of bones and blood decades later, with countless innocent souls wailing and crying.
At this moment, the human world has completely turned into purgatory.
"The world will be troubled from now on."
Closing his eyes slightly, Lu Yuan sighed softly.
Although he had foreseen that terrible future, he could not change it at all and was powerless to stop it.
In the face of the disaster of the entire world, an individual's ability seems so humble and insignificant.
Perhaps in ancient times, countless immortals were alive, and relying on the great magical powers of those immortals, they could gather the cold air again and seal it in the Northern Underworld.
But in this age of the end of the law, it is difficult to show magical powers. Just relying on the few big cats and kittens that survive, let alone the ability to seal the cold air, it is probably a bit difficult to go to the Northern Underworld Capital now.
The source of the disaster cannot be changed, and it is simply unrealistic to resolve the disaster caused by the disaster.
There are 200 million disaster victims. Such a huge number cannot be accommodated by any state or place.
Just like Zhou State, which occupied most of Yongzhou, was unable to relieve a mere 6 million Tibetan people.
The Liang Kingdom, which had just occupied Qingzhou, could not save the suffocating 200 million victims.
Those victims wanted to survive, so they had no choice but to go south.
The two peoples of Qingzhou also want to survive, so they can only block the victims from going south.
This is simply a deadlock that cannot be resolved by anyone.
"It seems that the king has understood the crux of the matter."
Seeing Lu Yuan's look and emotion, Jinyun knew in his heart that the King of Chu had understood the meaning of his words. He nodded slightly and said with deep meaning: "But the king is concerned about this cold disaster. Maybe the understanding is not deep enough.”
"Not profound enough?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uneasy and realizing that he seemed to have overlooked something, and it was very important, otherwise Jinyun would not have said this.
He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked solemn, saluted and asked for advice: "Fellow Taoist, please clarify."
Jinyun's tone was long and faint: "I just said that in ancient times, the four poles were out of balance and the world was wild. Thanks to the immortals' adjustment, the nine states and ten regions were created today.
But now, the Arctic cold air that was once suppressed by the immortals has leaked out of the seal due to the Northern Underworld Capital and turned into the current cold wave.
So when the cold air in the Northern Underworld City leaks out, does it mean that the North Pole, one of the four poles, is once again unstable and out of balance?
Now that the North Pole has lost its balance, will the corresponding South Pole, without the North Pole's coordination, also experience abnormalities, with poisonous fire emerging from the center of the earth?
There are problems in both the Antarctic and the Arctic. Will storms and earthquakes reappear in the oceans of the West Pole and the mountains of the East Pole?
The entire heaven and earth are one, and as part of the heaven and earth, the four poles are naturally related to each other.
This so-called pull affects the whole body. In this world, in the four extremes of Zhongzhou, it is impossible to stay away from it.
And when problems arise in the four poles, what will happen to the human races living in this area?
If the skin is gone, the hair will be attached!
The three states and three regions of the Northland were originally the Arctic ice fields.
The Southern Rainforest, the South China Sea Islands, and Yangzhou were originally poisonous fires in the Antarctic.
If everything is as Pindao speculated, then after the North Pole completely loses control, among the four poles of the world, the Antarctic Poison Fire will be the next one to lose control.
At that time, within one state and two regions, the center of the earth will erupt, poisonous fire will spread all over the place, and all living things will be extinct under a sea of fire.
At that time, how many areas in Yangzhou could be spared?
Chu State is located within Yangzhou, how will it deal with itself then? "
Jinyun stared straight at Lu Yuan and uttered these heart-wrenching words.
After listening to the other party's words, Lu Yuan's expression changed, and his face looked ugly as never before.
Because he knew that everything the other party said was not lies.
As a monk, Lu Yuan naturally has his own understanding of the avenue of heaven and earth.
That's why it became clear how terrifying the balance of the four poles and the imbalance of yin and yang that the other party mentioned was.
In Lu Yuan's previous life, there was an article that roughly described a similar scene.
Huainanzi once recorded: In ancient times, the four poles were ruined, the nine states were divided, the sky was not covered, the earth was not circulated, the fire was unquenchable, the water was vast and the ocean was unstoppable, ferocious beasts devoured the people, and birds of prey preyed on the elderly. weak.
At this time, Jinyun's description of the imbalance of the four poles may be slightly different from the destruction of the four poles and the split of the nine states described by Huainanzi, but they are still basically the same.
It's all the same terror, the same end of the world, and the people are in dire straits.
In such a doomsday, I am afraid that the only place in the entire Kyushu world that can be stable and allow people to survive is the homeland of Zhongzhou where the Liang Kingdom is located, right?
But how could the homeland of Zhongzhou, a mere two states, accommodate the entire human race of the nine states and ten regions?
Therefore, when the time comes, more than 90% of the people within the ten regions of Kyushu are destined to be abandoned in the end and completely engulfed by the four-pole disaster.
And Yangzhou, where the Chu State is located, is in the poisonous fire of Antarctica and will probably not be immune.
Even if a small area can be protected from the poisonous fire in the end, what does that mean to the Chu State, which has already lost most of Yangzhou?
So for Chu State, there is actually only one final choice.
That is expansion to the north.
Like those northern countries, they are desperately rushing south in order to gain a chance of survival in the future.
It's just that the situation in Chu is a little better than that of the northern countries. It may be that only after the Arctic cold wave is completely released will the Antarctic poisonous fire lose its balance and start to erupt in the south.
This outbreak may not spread to Yangzhou until a hundred years later and last for decades, after the poisonous fire has spread throughout the southern rain forests and South China Sea islands.
Lu Yuan still has at least a hundred years of buffering period.
But no matter how long the buffer period is, there will always be a day when it comes.
After the poisonous fire reaches Yangzhou, Chu will be unable to escape.
If you want to survive then, you will have no choice but to migrate north.
"Does Ning Guo know about this news?" Lu Yuan looked uncertain, then suddenly raised his head and asked.
Jinyun looked calm. He had known about the coming disaster for a long time. Telling it now would have no impact. When he heard the inquiry, he nodded and said: "Over at Jinling, Ziyun Dao had been there five years ago. Someone has already gone to inform me.
After all, at that time, the leader of Yangzhou recognized by the world was still Jinling Ningguo.
At that time, if you wanted to save Yangzhou's fate and lead Yangzhou through this disaster, you still had to look to Ning Guo.
It's just that the Chu State founded by the king has expanded and risen rapidly in recent years. Now, it has established a hegemony and caught up with the Ning State.
In view of this, Pindao came to Baling to inform the king of the matter.
In this way, whoever can control Yangzhou in the future, no matter Chu or Ning, can also be prepared for the coming disaster. "
When Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but snorted.
He knew that in the face of the catastrophe of the imbalance of the four poles, it was impossible for the hegemonic powers in the world not to know the news in advance.
The reason why Chu State was kept in the dark for a long time was because it was too weak and was not taken seriously by those immortal sects.
If not for his efforts to expand in recent years, he even began to dominate in the past two years, showing his prominence in Kyushu and attracting the attention of Feishuang Dao.
I'm afraid that until the day before the disaster strikes, we still don't know why it happened?
It was indeed the right thing to do when he decided to dominate.
Not only did it make the expansion of Chu State smoother, but it also obtained half a ticket for Yangzhou's savior.
'However, Ziyundao informed Ning Guo that it seems that the relationship between this immortal sect in Tianluo Mountain and those Linhai aristocratic families is indeed extraordinary. '
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of the representatives of the Linhai family who came to congratulate him at the Tianluo Dharma Festival that year.
The Linhai family, which had controlled Yangzhou for thousands of years, seemed to have a much closer relationship with Ziyundao than he imagined.
And what about Feishuang Dao?
He looked at Jinyun. What was the purpose of the other party telling him this?
