It's night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the bright moonlight falls from the sky, making everything look hazy and blurry.
At a certain moment, a meteor suddenly surged from the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth, cutting through the silver-white night, and flying towards the distance with a long tail flame.
Like some kind of signal, thousands of meteors followed in the blink of an eye, like thousands of flowers blooming, raindrops flowing, and the night sky was illuminated as bright as day.
Gu Dan, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the courtyard, noticed the rare sight that had not been seen for thousands of years, and his eyes widened unconsciously.
Meteors streaked across the sky above the Imperial Capital of Dayue, flying towards the distance. Even though they were still extremely far apart, Gu Dan couldn't help but feel trembling.
"A group of meteorites fell down?!"
With Gu Dan's eyesight, he could not tell exactly how big the meteorite was. When the distance reached a certain level, the human eye's judgment was not accurate, and it was even impossible to roughly estimate it at all.
The meteor cut through the night sky at an extremely fast speed, rushing towards the far north. The flame was left behind, and soon it faded like a small match in Gu Dan's eyes, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like what he had seen before. Everything is a dream.
However, the faint exclamation in his ears proved that what he saw in front of him was not his illusion.
When the stars fall from the sky at night, there must be evildoers!
Such news began to spread in the imperial capital, and Si Tianjian's people scratched their heads and couldn't figure out how to explain it.
The most important thing is, where did those meteorites hit? !
Soon there were messengers galloping over, and a meteorite hit Yuzhou. When it fell, it was as bright as day within a radius of a hundred miles, and the casualties could not be counted for the time being.
It’s Yuzhou again…
First there were floods, then severe drought, and now we are hit by a meteorite again. This can be summed up simply by saying that misfortunes never come singly.
Now that the autumn harvest is coming soon, this catastrophe from heaven has caused incalculable losses, and the most important thing is that people are panicking.
The good news is that the meteorite that fell in Yuzhou was probably just an accident and was not the main target of the meteorite's landing. Otherwise, whether the entire Big Moon could exist is a matter of debate.
Emperor Zongming had nowhere to vent his anger, and a disaster came from heaven. How could he be so miserable?
Gu Dan was a little lucky that there wasn't much movement on Dayue's side, which showed that the scale of the meteorite was not particularly large, otherwise it would have been a catastrophe for the entire world.
He didn't want to encounter an inevitable disaster like the extinction of the dinosaurs when he had hope for immortality.
This time the meteorite fell from the sky, and the disaster was quickly revealed.
Food prices are starting to skyrocket!
In the past, high food prices only appeared in winter. After the news of the disaster in Yuzhou came out, they ushered in a surge in just a few days.
In addition to the price of food, there are rumors among restaurants and tea shops that this is all caused by Emperor Zongming's pursuit of immortality, which caused the dissatisfaction of God.
Such treacherous and unethical remarks were obviously made deliberately by someone with good intentions.
Emperor Zongming asked, in order to seek immortality, he had not gone to court for more than 20 years. Although the cabinet, Jinyiwei and Dongchang controlled the situation and were proficient in power, what about the people?
There were many people who were forced by the officials to sell their sons and daughters, and 200,000 people were mobilized to build the Wanshou Immortal Palace. Could it be that the money for the construction came entirely from the emperor's internal funds? How is it possible for the people to have no complaints?
The Jinyiwei began to arrest people everywhere, and the people walking on the road became taciturn. Even the barking of dogs was extremely loud when walking on the street, attracting the attention of pedestrians.
Gu Dan realized that the situation was not right, so he bought a lot of food and easy-to-preserve bacon and other items, which he could eat for a year or two. The medicinal materials are always on hand, so there is no need to purchase them specially.
It was not his turn to worry about public security in the imperial capital. The martial arts gym had been closed for several years after the government decided to suppress martial arts among the people. His health medicine shop also put up a sign of temporary closure, and he did not even go to the dungeon. Everything is about safety.
His strength is close to the master of Zang training. Xiong Qihu has finally reached the master of Zang training in these years. Although the martial arts gym is not open, he still lives here. The two of them can face the masters of Zang training with their whole body. Retreat, safety is guaranteed.
At least there shouldn't be any bad incidents where my neighbor collects grain while I store guns, and my neighbor is my granary.
This is the worst-case scenario predicted by Gu Dan.
"Brother Gu, have you received the message?"
As soon as Gu Dan closed the courtyard door, he saw Xiong Qihu approaching with a surprised look on his face, holding a letter.
"What's the news?" Gu Dan asked.
"Read it yourself." Xiong Qihu handed over the letter.
Gu Dan took it, glanced at it, and his face became solemn.
There is a saying in the letter that the meteorite that fell in Yuzhou is extraordinary, its whole body is crystal clear like glass. Some people have the courage to approach it, and many of their old problems are cured without treatment. It is a true fairy stone.
Immortal stones are not hard and indestructible. Even ordinary swords can knock off a piece of them, which naturally attracts people to grab them.
The person who wrote the letter was Xiong Qihu's friend in the past. At this time, he invited Xiong Qihu to join forces to seize the immortal fate together!
At this time, only half a month had passed since the day the meteorite fell from the sky.
"Fairy Stone..."
Gu Dan's eyes were complicated. Could it be that what fell from the sky was not an ordinary meteorite, but a legendary spiritual stone?
"Brother Gu, let's find Master Mo. Let's join forces and conquer the whole world without any problem. If it's really destiny, it would be a pity to miss it!"
Xiong Qihu was obviously tempted. Wouldn't it be a waste of martial arts if he didn't take a hand in such a good thing?
Gu Dan's expression changed several times, sometimes struggling, sometimes becoming a bit dangerous.
When the temptation is really in front of them, how many people can really suppress the throbbing and ambition in their hearts?
After a while, Gu Dan reached out and patted Xiong Qihu on the shoulder, and suddenly asked: "How long did it take you to practice Zang Zang masterly?"
Xiong Qihu didn't understand what Gu Dan meant, so he answered honestly: "More than twenty years."
"More than twenty years..."
Gu Dan smiled and put the letter back in Xiong Qihu's hand, "You go find Brother Mo, I won't go."
"Brother Gu?"
Xiong Qihu was stunned. No warrior should hesitate in the face of such an immortal fate.
What a heavenly fate!
If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life. How can you just let it go?
"Emperor Zongming has not been in court for more than 20 years in order to seek immortality. He even built the Wanshou Immortal Palace on a large scale. His desire to seek immortality is unparalleled. Even we can receive the news. I am afraid that it will be early in the palace. It’s ready.”
Gu Dan sighed, "This is the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. If you are determined, just take some medicine bags."
When Xiong Qihu heard this, he only hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Immortal fate, even if the emperor is right in front of you, you should fight! What's there to be afraid of when a man dies and a bird looks up to the sky!"
