Yunbi Mountain.

Recently, villagers from several villages at the foot of Shenfeng, as well as mountain people from newly moved villages, often do some strange things on the road or on the hillside.

A caravan came along the river and passed through the highway to the county seat of Xihe County.

When they were about to leave the mountains, the merchants saw a few people lying motionless on the roadside, and they thought it was some bandits killing people and leaving their bodies in the wild.

Everyone was panicked and worried.

"There is a thief."

"careful!"

The carriages and horses carrying goods stopped one after another, and everyone gathered together to guard the surroundings.

But after taking a closer look, they found that all those people were still alive, and everyone in the caravan heaved a sigh of relief.

It's just that the postures of these people are too strange. They are prostrate on the side of the road, with their ears to the ground and their eyes wide open in concentration.

It was as if he was spying on some secret underground.

The leading merchant approached the man lying on the ground and asked, "Hey, what are you doing? Why are you lying on the ground for no reason?"

One of the people lying on the ground raised his head and told the merchant: "Listen to the thunder!"

The merchant was even more puzzled: "You should stand up to listen to the thunder. Why are you lying on the roadside with your ear to the ground?"

The man added: "Because this thunder does not come from the sky, but comes from the earth."

When the merchant and the guards in his team heard this answer, they immediately burst into laughter, feeling that this answer was too absurd and bizarre.

"I heard that there were unfounded worries in ancient times, and I always thought it was just a fabricated myth. I didn't expect that today I encountered something as ridiculous as the unfounded worries."

"Hahahaha, listen to the thunder coming from the ground. How can there be thunder underground?"

"This is really true."

"Are all the people in Xihe County so crazy?"

Before he finished speaking, his feet suddenly shook.

The first thing to be frightened was the horse. One of the horses neighed, and some raised their front hooves high and ran around in fear. Fortunately, they were caught by the groom.

The driver was so frightened: "What's going on? What's going on?"

Everyone jumped and ran in all directions, as if they were avoiding something, but the movement came from under their feet, and they couldn't escape the ground no matter how hard they hid.

"Thunder." This thing is certain.

"Did you hear that?" Everyone else heard it too.

"I heard it, I heard it, this thunder seems to be coming from under the ground." The visitors looked at their feet one after another.

"Is there really thunder underground?" The leader of the businessman couldn't laugh anymore.

Everyone became more and more surprised, and began to imitate the man by lying on the side of the road, listening to what was going on underground with their ears close to the ground.

And when they put their ears to the ground, not paying attention to the situation above the ground and focusing on the unknown depths, they heard strange sounds and slightly felt the noise under the earth.

There was a thin roar coming from the ground, like something was boiling, or someone was roaring.

The more I listened to that voice, the more I felt like it came from under the Nine Netherworld.

It is definitely not a human voice.

"I seemed to hear the sound of water flowing."

"It's obviously the sound of water boiling."

"That's wrong, I clearly heard someone shouting."

"What the hell."

The more people listened, the more scared and panicked they became, but the more scared they became, the more curious they became, and the more they wanted to listen.

Until, another thunder sound came from the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled, although the amplitude was not large, but because they were pressed against the ground, the feeling was particularly strong.

It even felt like my ears couldn't hear any sound for a long time, and my whole brain was buzzing.

But at this moment, they were just shouting excitedly.

"It's ringing."

"It's ringing!"

"It rang again."

"It's really thundering, it's thundering underground."

"I have gained more knowledge."

"There is no thunder in the sky, but there is thunder below the ground."

"Why did this thunder go underground?"

Although everyone listened for a long time, they still didn't understand the reason, and they had to do business next, so they dismissed the matter as a strange story and dispersed one after another.

However, the story of thunder underground slowly spread.

Therefore, the number of people passing by the outer roads of Yunbi Mountain gradually increased.

Someone said: "Below the divine peak is connected to the ghost city of Ghost Uncle. The sound of the water below must be the sound of the underworld, and the screams are the screams of the dead souls."

Some people also say: "The spring thunder in the sky has disappeared. It was taken away by the gods and hidden underground."

There is even more: "The god took the drought demon underground and struck it with thunder every day. What we heard must be the sound of the god striking the drought demon."

——

On the divine peak.

The witch still entered the longevity palace every day during the alternation of day and night, that is, at dusk, but there was no trace of that figure again.

As for the thunder under the ground, the witches at the Yunzhongjun Temple naturally started talking about it.

The group of witches all felt that this matter should be related to Yun Zhongjun, but even though they said this, they were not completely sure.

The only thing that can be done is to ask the witch.

In the shrine, a group of witches knelt and sat under the curtain of the high altar.

"Wizard, there have been more and more rumors about thunder underground recently."

"Yes, I passed by the foot of the mountain today and saw many people lying on the roadside with their ears to the ground. Some people even came here from the city."

"If this matter is related to Yun Zhongjun, should we ban it?"

"It's true, no matter what, if a mortal peeks into Jiuyou, it will definitely lead to disaster."

The wizard said: "If it has something to do with Lord Yun Zhong, and Lord Yun Zhong has never issued a decree, we shouldn't ask."

Group of witches: "Don't ask about the affairs of heaven and earth, only ask whether the affairs of the world should be taken care of."

Wizard: "Wait for me to pray to God Cloud."

It's dusk again.

The witch walked alone through the bamboo forest and entered the depths, but after thinking about it, this time she brought a pot of wine and a harp.

However, I burned incense, prayed and recited blessings as usual, but there was no response.

The magic witch thought that ordinary methods would not work. Perhaps only when a big ceremony or special occasion is held, Yun Zhongjun would take another look at the human world.

However, after carrying the copper incense burner through the longevity palace hall and leaving incense all over the room, she stayed for a while longer.

She carefully served the wine and placed it in front of the cloud wall.

Then he sat cross-legged under the cloud wall and played the harp, which meant dedicating wine to the god.

The sound of the piano is melodious.

A faint light gradually appeared in front of the cloud wall. The light was not obvious, just like the moon slowly setting in the sky.

As the moon set, a figure walked out of the light and was reflected on the cloud wall.

"It's Yun Zhongjun."

She was a little nervous, but she still played the piano until the song was played.

She stood up and knelt down, about to say something.

Yun Zhongjun already knew her intention and responded to her.

The light and shadow flowed, and each character was reflected on the cloud wall, clearly visible.

"This is not a human matter and has nothing to do with you."

She knelt down and bent down while holding Qin in her arms, and said something.

"yes!"
