Due to the approach of the Qingxu Plane, the misfortune was getting stronger, and the summer harvest season in the sixth year of Tongzhi was declared ruined, with production reduced or even eliminated in large areas.
Except for a few countries that carried out productivity reforms like Daxia, famine began to appear again.
If there is no grain harvest in the summer, we can still rely on warehousing to get through it, but if there is a problem with the more important autumn harvest, it will be really over.
Food for the government does not mean food for the people.
Not to mention small countries, the execution and supervision systems of most vassal states are not sound enough. If there are more natural disasters that require relief, people's resentment will inevitably boil.
The human nation of Tianyuan Continent is essentially still stuck at a low-level agricultural level that depends on the weather for food. Even Daxia and Zhou Bai can't say that they have improved enough.
Agricultural infrastructure such as water conservancy and irrigation takes time to build, and there are not enough grassroots Taoist officials. Especially Ling Zhifu, who specializes in agriculture, is still in the savings stage...
Fortunately, in the past few years, Zhou Bai has always emphasized grain storage and has no strategic materials such as foreign trade.
In addition, sweet potatoes with strong adaptability and large yields are accepted by the Xia people. Even if the Qingxu calamity lasts for a long time, there is no need to worry about the collapse of the foundation of Daxia.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the sweet potato is prosperous, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the sweet potato is well-off.
In August of the sixth year of Tongzhi, the outline of the Qingxu plane became more and more obvious, and it was already hanging brightly in the sky, like the second sun.
It's just that this sun looks a bit weird, with a dark red halo and black air spitting out. It's like a world-destroying disaster star in the storybook.
No matter day or night, I can always look up at it, which makes my heart feel heavy and lifeless.
Since September, there has always been a faint humming and shaking in the sky, and meteors streaking across the sky one after another, with brilliant brilliance and often violent aura.
Zhou Bai pays great attention to the battles outside the territory. Although he cannot see the specific scenes, as a local candidate for destiny, he will occasionally get a response from heaven.
Coupled with some traces of luck, it is not a problem to figure out a general situation.
This time, the will of the world did not agree to the Heavenly Court, and once again let go of the defense line to lure the enemy deeper.
Instead, the original power of the world is focused on the defense of Tianyuan Continent, and the Qingxu Fleet and many high-level sequences are firmly blocked from the boundary membrane.
As for the thirty-three days, because the last Qingxu zero sequence self-destructed, resulting in the Zhoutian star formation, it has not been completely repaired.
The next few days and the surrounding demiplane have become a battlefield.
The immortals and heavenly officials who seek immortality can only say that they are trying their best to resist the lifeless offensive of the Qing Xu sequencers.
Especially after the death of the White Emperor, the internal competition for White Vein resources in Heaven was obviously chaotic, and true immortal-level combatants continued to die in battle.
Just looking at the superficial development of the situation, the results achieved by Qingxu's all-out attack this time are more effective than those of the previous expeditions.
The whole world is fighting for its life, let alone the creatures of Qingxu who live and die together.
However, when the sky fell, there was a tall man holding it up. Zhou Bai really didn't believe that with the inheritance and heritage of the heaven, he would be overwhelmed by a wave of suicide attacks.
None of the remaining four emperors, saints, and golden immortals is an epic legend.
The battle for the annexation of the two realms is a long-term struggle, and victory or defeat in one day cannot determine the overall situation.
The outcome of the war concerns all living beings in the two worlds. The victor's life transition, world upgrading, and the opportunity of the great road...
Any benefit you can think of is possible. This is the charm of swallowing a whole world.
Of course Zhou Bai wants to win and works hard for it. Maybe this is the chance for him to become enlightened.
But now, just to survive the disaster caused by Qingxu's misfortune, we have to go all out.
Because he is the master of people, the master of Daxia, and needs to be responsible for the subjects who trust him.
In September of the sixth year of Tongzhi, the evil energy seeping into the world reached a critical point and formed a black cloud of evil energy.
Wherever black clouds appear, great disasters will occur, making the kings, ministers and people of all countries fear them like tigers.
The bad energy of Qingxu began to bring disasters in a more direct form.
On September 5th, the Daolu Division reported that black clouds of bad luck appeared in Daizhou and a black rain fell.
After the rain, Fengchang County in the south of Daizhou turned into a "death place" overnight.
The spiritual energy disappeared, the earth dried up, and opened countless wounds, as if tortured creatures were crying out in pain.
The originally lush vegetation turned yellow, and the breath of life completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only silence and desolation.
Houses collapsed, roads broken, everything tells the horror of bad luck.
The smell of decay spread across every corner of Fengchang County. Animals soaked in black rain died suddenly on the spot and turned into mummies.
As for ordinary people, after being exposed to the black rain, they immediately lost their senses and fell into a coma.
Ordinary doctors' rescue efforts are ineffective. Within a few hours, they will lose their vitality and die suddenly like animals.
Every house is plain, yellow paper is everywhere, sadness and fear envelope Fengchang.
At first, people in Fengchang wanted to rebuild their homes and wait for the government to organize disaster relief. After all, it was hard to leave their hometown.
But in just a few dark nights, the surviving Fengchang people began to flee en masse, forming a rolling wave of refugees rushing outside the county boundaries.
It turns out that when night falls, there will be ghosts contaminated with evil spirits that kill people crazily, commonly known as evil ghosts.
Fengchang County is the territory of Dainan Kingdom. A black rain caused Dainan's luck to decline to the bottom.
What's more important is that Fengchang County's institutional legal network seems to have temporarily disappeared, and there is no legal system left. Even in the residential areas of the city, evil spirits dare to attack with their evil spirits.
The government could not protect them, so they had no choice but to flee to other countries.
The deathly silence in Fengchang is no worse than that of Cangbei Guixi. This is a death place, a death place of terror and despair.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees poured into the other counties of Daizhou. Enterprising heroes like Lu Ding naturally knew the importance of population.
He wanted to eat as much as he could, but he couldn't do anything.
The grain reserves of Daibei Kingdom are one thing, but more importantly, the disaster caused by Qingxu's bad luck is spreading.
Fengchang County was broken by the black cloud of evil energy, which seemed to have opened a gap, attracting more Qingxu evil energy to gather.
Other countries in Daizhou, as well as the countries in the north, were frightened by what happened in Fengchang County. Seeing that the bad luck is turning into a black cloud again, how can they not be anxious.
The princes strictly ordered the Taoist officials and the Fulong magicians behind them to find out the reasons for the black clouds formed by the evil spirits and find out the means of defense.
If you can't find out clearly, just ask, seek a secluded overhaul, and seek help from heaven.
Nationwide sacrifices were held one after another, but no prince received a response.
Fortunately, the disaster in Fengchang County is not a special case. Similar things also happen in prosperous areas such as Jiangnan in the Central Region.
However, Fengchang is black rain, and other places are manifestations of bad luck, black wind, bad luck, sandstorms, etc. What they have in common is that bad luck has accumulated to a certain extent.
Zhou Bai personally took action, synthesized information from all parties, read ancient books, and intercepted the bad luck for research.
The essence of Qingxu's bad luck is the purest calamity, the most terrifying negative luck, which can cause unimaginable disasters.
Usually a world can only be born when it reaches its end. Destruction and destruction are its fundamental characteristics.
Zhou Bai discovered that after Qingxu's bad energy seeped into Tianyuan Realm, it first targeted the civilized areas. The forty-eight states in the Central Plains were definitely responsible for the bad luck several times that of the peripheral foreign countries.
Bad air causes disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and droughts, which pollutes the natural rules of the world. Such disasters will only last for a short period of time.
From mid-June to mid-July in the sixth year of Tongzhi, disasters still occurred frequently in various parts of the world. Hurricanes and snowstorms occurred one after another, and the scope was very large. However, by the end of July, there were fewer such disasters.
Entering August, the scale of natural disasters caused by bad luck is limited to a small area, and it is unable to cause a devastating blow to the human world.
This is the self-healing ability of a world that has recovered well and is on the rise. The bad energy created by the world is very powerful, but it is impossible to break the underlying rules with this.
Of course, it will take longer to completely shield Qingxu's bad luck.
If natural disasters cannot be caused, Qingxu's bad energy will gather and impact an area.
If you can't do it indirectly, just do it directly, as long as it destroys a world.
On September 15th, the new Sanxian of Western Shu announced in a high-profile manner that the Immortal Dao Formation could block the impact of bad luck, and called on all countries in the world to invite the Immortal Sect to join the world and help.
If someone is harmed by bad luck, he can ask a monk to use the method of increasing luck to expel bad luck from the body.
On September 20th, news came from the Central Region that the bad luck would be dispersed or even eliminated by normal luck.
Because the incident occurred near the city of Bianzhou, many people witnessed it.
The bad air formed continuous black clouds over Bianzhou, covering a radius of hundreds of miles. The color of the sky and the earth changed, and it looked like the world was annihilated.
But before the black rain fell, a great red sun rose into the sky, scattering the black clouds of bad luck, and then disappeared.
However, after careful investigation, observers found that Bianzhou's Universiade was reduced by half out of thin air.
That's Bianzhou, with a population of more than 20 million, the Central Plains within the Central Plains, what is the concept of half-made luck?
In other words, a slightly weaker country, such as a sub-state or a male country, would have no chance of being spared from such an offensive.
Even if it survives and the national destiny is exhausted, the internal situation may be immediately dispersed and separated.
Of course, only the civilization of the Central Region would be able to attract such a scale of misfortune.
The black clouds in Fengchang County were said by survivors to be several miles in radius, but after breaking through the great fortune of Fengchang County, the black rain of bad luck would move and cover them.
…
At the end of September, the world of Qingxu showed a complete shadow and dark sun, and the evil spirit invaded even more.
Bad luck and disasters are gradually taking shape in various places in the northern border, making people in all countries panic.
On October 5th, dark clouds appeared in Dingzhou, and over Dingzhou City, the core capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Black clouds were threatening to destroy the city, covering a ten-mile radius, making it the most dense in the north. The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.
The city defense array was activated, the power was turned to the maximum, and the shining light curtain protected the people in the city.
Didn't all the loose immortals of Western Shu say that the immortal formation can avoid disasters, so they should be able to survive it, right?
It's just that in this way, the areas not covered by the formation will suffer. According to the scale of this evil, at least one county will be destroyed.
Therefore, Zhou Bai chose to "fight" according to the plan. He could use more than one luck method.
Under the thick black clouds of bad luck, a light and shadow wrapped in dragons and tigers rose into the sky, causing turbulent winds and waves with astonishing momentum.
Whether it was Daxia officials who were always paying attention to the sky, or the people who were hiding in their homes, they all raised their heads and looked at the sky.
"It's Mr. Xia!"
"Look, Mr. Xia is about to take action!"
"A true dragon has nothing to fear from disaster. I hope you will succeed."
"It's too painful to have this calamity lingering. Now I don't know how much bad luck has spread to all parts of Dingzhou. The court needs to issue a decree to expel it."
Some people are full of worries, and some are full of hope, but the hearts of Suo Xia people are all tied to Zhou Bai at this time.
"How can our glorious land of Great Xia be blocked by the misfortune from outside the area and cover the sky above our heads!"
The confident declaration is like a heat wave that instantly washes away the fear in people's hearts.
Seeing that the people's hearts were gradually gathering, and the legal network connecting various places was blooming, Zhou Bai thought silently in his heart and began to use the power of the crowd.
"All the people of Daxia, please use your faith to put it on me and defeat the dark clouds of evil."
The majestic voice sounded in the hearts of eight million Xia people. They knew it was Zhou Bai's voice, so of course they were not afraid.
As early as after the Fengchang incident, the imperial court issued a notice saying that if the monarch needs to rely on their strength, he only needs to believe it.
Daxia will definitely be able to protect his people, and Duke Xia will definitely lead them out of the disaster.
Fengchang Death Land cannot appear in Dingzhou.
"Bless me Daxia, bless me Daxia..." After hearing the call, more and more people began to pray, and the power of their faith merged into the suppressed French Open.
The roar of the dragon and the roar of the tiger bring good luck.
Zhou Bai, with the majestic power of his will, directly sacrificed a five-color golden seal. This is the national seal of Daxia, which is the most important treasure of luck for the country.
The evil black clouds above seemed to sense something, the wind and clouds surged, and the black snow suddenly fell from the sky.
A falcon hunting for prey lost its way and was wrapped in black snow, instantly losing its vitality. No living thing was allowed to survive here.
Zhou Bai looked solemn and did not dare to delay. He immediately shouted angrily: "Imperial order, break the disaster!"
Suddenly, the golden light of the national seal shines brightly, and the invisible luck gathers into a torrent, rushing straight towards the black cloud of bad luck.
Zizzizi~
The black snow evaporated, the cold wind cleared up, and a skylight opened on the continuous clouds, allowing the noon sun to pass through at the right time.
Violence, destruction, madness...all kinds of thoughts and auras suddenly attacked Zhou Bai.
In the eyes of the people of Daxia, it was the black clouds of bad luck that found it difficult to move under the wind and snow, and rolled towards Duke Xia angrily.
"Dingzhou Ding!"
Soon, the shadow of a giant cauldron appeared.
It is established on the land of Dingzhou to suppress luck and protect the creatures of Great Xia.
Ding, ding, ding, the continuous attacks of bad energy could not break through the shadow of Dingzhou Cauldron at all.
And the torrent of luck in Daxia is breaking through gaps one after another in the black cloud of bad luck.
Between attacks and defenses, the clouds gradually dissipated, and some of the evil spirits were dissipated on the spot, while others were scattered around.
In the future, local officials will be needed to carry out inspections based on court decrees to drive away bad luck.
On October 7, the Daxia Ministry of Industry announced the completion of the straight road hardening project between states and counties.
On October 11th, the Dragon King of Ningjiang personally brought autumn rain to Dingzhou to alleviate the drought, which was witnessed by many people in the country.
On October 25th, the Ningjiang-Canglan River connection project was officially completed, and the abundant water vapor from the Ningjiang River completely awakened the Canglan Water God.
Since then, Bei'an has got rid of its history of not having a big river, its agricultural potential has been further stimulated, and the follow-up connection to Cangbei County is a matter of course.
On November 3, Zhou Bai ordered that free woolen cotton-padded jackets be provided to 30,000 poor people who had no winter clothing.
On November 10, the disaster-stricken areas of fifteen counties in Daxia received food relief.
All these are aimed at raising people's morale and increasing their luck.
At this time, compared with the stable and orderly Daxia, the northern countries were in completely different situations.
