Lu Cheng asked again: "What impact has the ten-day sky crossing had on the earth so far?"
Lu Qingyan replied: "The distance between the sun and the earth is getting farther and farther, and the lost energy is made up by the approach of the nine major stars. Therefore, the temperature on the earth does not change much, but because of the change in gravity, hurricanes increase and tides intensify. The sea water is flooding, the rainfall is increasing, and the human living environment is becoming more and more bad. So far, 70% of the population has entered the Weiyang Palace. There are still 30% of the people staying outside, and those people mainly live in the western region , Sichuan, Shaanxi, Qinghai, XJ, XZ... From Taiyuan, Luoyang, Xiangyang to the east, there are basically no people left. The fields are deserted, weeds are everywhere, the spiritual energy is getting richer and richer, the weeds have grown to more than one foot high, and the trees are towering. , some trees began to turn into demons, ghosts and wild foxes appeared..."
Lu Cheng asked again: "In these years, are the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifices to heaven still carried out every year?"
"It has been going on. The chief priest, Bai Wenxi, has become a Xuanxian. The shamanic singing led by her brings the response of heaven, and can collect hundreds of drops of dew from the sky every year."
"Is the carving of the Immortal Jade Ball still in progress?"
"Under the auspices of Lu Lijing, the speed of carving the fairy jade balls is accelerating. The fairy jade balls are buried in the soil and evolve into fairy spirit veins. So far, the second jade clear spirit vein under Yuxu Peak has been formed and is being cultivated. The third Yuqing Spiritual Vein... With the Yuqing Spiritual Vein, it can release the immortal spiritual energy and the Qi of the Three Pure Ones, and can also condense the essence of mountains and rivers and the tears of the stars. Our family has a strong foundation for cultivating immortals..."
"Has Lu Laoquan, who went to explore the universe, come back?"
"Not back yet."
Lu Cheng asked many questions to understand what happened in the past 73 years, and then made various instructions to make final preparations for the world's catastrophe.
After the meeting, Lu Cheng came to Luoyang City, accompanied by the 23rd generation grandson Lu Li and Luohe goddess Li Mixi.
Here, he met the 26th generation grandson Lu Shanguan and his maid Dong Xiaowan.
More than a century passed, Lu Shanguan advanced to Hedao, and Dong Xiaowan also reached the late stage of Jindan. They have been living in Luoyang, often going to Beimang Mountain to communicate with ghosts, studying the "Ghost Book" and Yin Talisman, and have made great progress.
This was the first time that Dong Xiaowan saw the ancestor of the Lu family. He was cautious, trembling, and at a loss, for fear of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing.
Lu Cheng's skills have reached the realm of the Immortal King, and he has long since returned to his original nature. He has reached the point where he can moisturize things without making a sound, and a boat passing through water will leave no trace. He looks exactly like an ordinary old man. This "old man" appearance was specially put on by him. In fact, he has not aged at all compared to when he was a graduate student in Quancheng.
Accompanied by four juniors, Lu Cheng walked slowly along the Yellow River and Luo River.
He inspected the surrounding land for thousands of miles, that is, the Heluo area, extending to Tongguan and Huayin in the west, to Xingyang in the east, to Ruying in the south, and across the Yellow River in the north to southern Shanxi and Jiyuan.
The core of the Heluo region is the Luoyang Plain. The Luoyang Plain is formed by the alluvial deposits of the lower reaches of the Luo River and the Yi River (tributaries of the Luo River). It mainly includes the urban area of LY and also involves part of the counties (cities) such as Gongyi, Yiyang, and Xin'an. In ancient times, it was called "China" and "the most beautiful place in the world". "Zhong", "Zhongtu", "Zhongtu".
"Historical Records·Fengchan Book" records: "The kings of the past three generations were all between Heluo." The Heluo area has long been the center of China's economy, politics, and culture.
Heluo culture is extensive and profound. Dragons and horses carry pictures from the river, and divine turtles carry books from Luo.
Heluo culture is the deep-rooted "root culture" and "core area" culture of the Chinese nation. It is a culture that affects the entire country and is the "root" of the country's culture.
As Lu Cheng walked, he was thinking: "Why is the Heluo area the root of the Chinese nation? Why do the Hetu and Luoshu appear here? All laws are empty, and cause and effect are not empty. What is the cause? What is the effect?"
He thought for a long time and was puzzled, so he asked his question: "Li Mixi, Dong Xiaowan, you two have been here for many years, have you noticed any special phenomena around here?"
Li Mixi is the legendary Goddess of Luohe incarnate. She has a profound background. At this time, she has reached the middle stage of Xuanxian. When she saw Lu Cheng, she did not feel frightened. Although she did not know that Lu Cheng was the Immortal King, she He still had to show the respect he deserved, and replied: "Ancestor, your question is too broad. I have experienced a long time and have seen too many things. I don't know how to answer it at the moment."
Lu Cheng said: "Don't be in a hurry, just think slowly and tell me what comes to mind."
Li Mixi said: "In ancient times, the fairy spiritual energy here was very rich, the land was very fertile, whatever you planted grew, and there were countless exotic flowers and fruits."
"Well, what then?"
"Later, there were more and more immortals, and the spiritual energy of the immortals gradually declined, but the Heluo area still had good weather, raising countless people and giving birth to Chinese civilization."
What Lu Cheng really wants to know is why Hetu Luoshu appears here. But he did not interrupt Li Mixi.
Li Mixi continued: "Later, although the fairy spiritual energy was completely exhausted, I felt the weak 'Xuanhuang Qi' in Luoshui. It was precisely because of the small amount of Xuanhuang Qi that I could survive the long years."
"Xuanhuang Qi?" Lu Cheng took a deep breath and felt that there was indeed a very thin Xuanhuang Qi in the land under his feet, and the Luoshui River contained more Xuanhuang Qi than the three mountains and five mountains.
"What you said is very important. But where does this weak black and yellow energy come from?"
"Old Ancestor, I suddenly remembered that when I was young, I heard my father say that several artifacts were born here in ancient times, including the jade plate of creation, which were all unearthed here."
"Huh? How do you say this?"
Li Mixi's predecessor was the goddess of Luoshui, and she was the youngest daughter of Emperor Fuxi. The father she referred to was Emperor Fuxi.
"My father did not experience the First Tribulation of the Long Han Dynasty. He started to rise from the Second Tribulation of the Chiming Dynasty and became an emperor in the Third Tribulation of the Founding of the Emperor. Although he has never touched the jade dish of creation with his own hands, I heard that someone dug it out in a mountain depression at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. He got the jade dish of good fortune, and later it fell into the hands of Patriarch Hongjun."
"Northern foothills of Qinling Mountains? Where exactly is it?"
"It is at the source of Luoshui, which is equivalent to the location of Lantian County. My father built caves and palaces there. Later, after the rain and wind blew, the palace on the ground collapsed, but the underground cave is still there. I placed my soul there and became a My habitat. And so far, the innate Bagua array arranged by my father is still functioning."
After hearing this, Lu Cheng gave up his investigation along the Yellow River, changed his direction, and walked upstream along the Luo River.
Dong Xiaowan walked at the end. After walking for a long time, he suddenly summoned up the courage and said: "Ancestor, I have followed Lu Buwei for many years. I often see him standing on the top of Beimang Mountain, looking in this direction. Twice, I In the middle of the night, I saw a strange colored light here, but the colored light lasted for a short time and dissipated in less than a quarter of an hour."
Lu Cheng turned to look at her and asked, "When did this happen?"
"Ancestor, the time between the two colored lights appeared is almost a thousand years."
"This matter is also very important." Lu Cheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved: "Is there a hidden treasure that has not yet been unearthed at the source of Luoshui? If there is a treasure, it must be a rare treasure, and only the top treasures , to hide it so deeply...but what kind of treasure is it?"
