Leaving the retreat, Pan Long did not use his means of going high, but just walked slowly on the road like a leisurely stroll in the garden, heading eastward.

Although he was not rushing, his steps were extremely high. If someone looked at him on the roadside, he would see that he would cross at least ten feet of distance every step, but his "speed" was not fast. It was as if the earth had shortened under his feet, full of a wonderful sense of mystery.

If someone looks from a distance, he will see that he is like flying on land, and his figure is so fast that it almost turns into a gust of wind.

This is one of the abilities that will naturally be cultivated after returning to nature, shrinking into inches of land.

It is not only true masters who can shrink into a tiny place. If you practice specifically, many innate masters can do it. However, if you want to walk in this way, there is no extra consumption at all. It is just like taking an ordinary walk, so you must practice to the level of returning to nature.

Only by completely confining one's own strength and no unnecessary leakage can one activate this unique skill when walking in daily life.

Pan Long walked slowly on the road, enjoying the scenery along the road while walking.

It is late March now, and it is the season of spring when flowers are blooming. Birds sing and flowers are fragrant all over the Tongtian River. You can often see orchards with red, white and pink flowers blooming extremely gorgeously. Sometimes there are fruit trees on the roadside. When you pass by, a strong wind blows, and many petals fall down, just like walking in the pink drizzle.

"I remember there were several famous Cherry Blossom Avenues in my previous life. But when I was young, I had no money or time to travel. When I got older, I had money and time, but I no longer had the mood to travel... I remember there was a 'Loose Cherry Mountain' in Qingzhou, which was built by Zhao Shengwenchao back then. If I had the chance, I must go and have a look."

He murmured to himself, his voice so low that even those who were close to him could not hear it.

In addition to pacifying the world and establishing the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhao Sheng and Wen Chao also left behind many famous landscapes.

Luoyingshan in Qingzhou is one of them.

Wen Chao likes cherry blossoms. After the world was settled, he replaced dozens of trees on the continuous hills with cherry blossoms in Qingzhou, and also used magic to form a cycle of the local veins to protect the mountain.

Ordinary cherry blossoms only bloom once a year, but the cherry blossoms on the mountains continue. After this mountain blooms, the mountain blooms, and never stops all year round.

Walking on the mountain road during the flowering season, the cherry blossom petals keep falling by your side, and the scenery is beautiful and poetic.

That mountain is therefore named "Liaoying Mountain". It is one of the famous scenic spots and historical sites in the Jiuzhou of Daxia.

Pan Long was not very interested in scenery before - he was not the tourist and food maniac of Han Feng, but at this moment his heart moved, and he couldn't help but want to go to Luoying Mountain to take a look.

That was a gift Wen Chao left to future generations. If he went to see it, left some images with magic as a record, and waited until the dragon-slaying treasure opened again and went to Wen Chao to see the afterimage, he would probably be very happy.

It should be a very happy thing to see what I left behind in the past be loved by later generations.

After walking for a few days, the climate suddenly changed.

It rained for two consecutive days, and the weather became colder. On the morning of March 26, he looked through the windows on the inn and even saw a layer of ice in the yard of an empty house nearby.

This made Pan Long wonder. March should have fully recovered. Except for bitter and cold areas such as mountains and northern regions, there should be no more frost in Jiuzhou. Why is it that the place where it is about to reach the boundary of Yangzhou will freeze?

In the hall downstairs, he heard a guest complaining, "It's almost April and it's still freezing, it's unlucky."

The guy replied: "Isn't that true! I have never heard of the situation where I still freeze in April!"

"Stop talking about you, old man, I have lived for more than fifty years and have never seen this situation." said the inn shopkeeper, "Even in Youzhou, the ice and snow are almost melting in this season, and I have started farming..."

Pan Long nodded slightly. The spring plowing in the north is usually April. It is the end of March, and it is indeed time for even the north to prepare for spring plowing.

In his impression, if the weather is warmer, Dingfeng Town will have melted the snow and thawed the earth and started to plow the fields and sow seeds.

Not to mention Jing Yang, the wheat in the fields had already grown very lush.

Such a cold wave will definitely be very unfavorable to agriculture.

I am afraid that the summer grain harvest will be bad this year, and I don’t know if it will cause famine? If famine occurs, how should the court rescue disasters?

After continuing the mountain road, he was thinking about these issues.

But his thinking obviously didn't help, and worse, the weather continued to get colder.

On the night of March 27, when he settled in Hengyang City at the foot of Hengshan Mountain in western Yangzhou, heavy snow even started to rise in the sky.

At first there were only one or two small snowflakes, but soon they fell bigger and bigger. Later, the snowflakes were covered with goose feathers, and soon the trees on the mountain, the houses on the floor... were white everywhere, and time seemed to be back to the middle of winter, and the world was vast.

The travelers in the inn couldn't help but curse the ghost weather. When they went out for a trip, they paid attention to light-fitting. In addition to the necessary things, it would be better to bring less. Who would carry winter clothes with them!

When tomorrow, before setting out, you must go to the old clothes shop to buy a few winter clothes, but this is an additional expense.

And judging from this weather, the old clothes shop will definitely take the opportunity to increase the price. It may cost several times the usual amount of money to wear a winter outfit.

What’s even more annoying is that it’s almost April now, and no matter how cold the weather is, it won’t be cold for a few days, which means it’s just a waste of money!

A scholar couldn't help but whisper: "If there is any abnormality in the sky, there will be evil. The snow falls in late spring, this is the heaven warning!"

"God warns you? Why did God send us an alarm?" Pan Long asked curiously.

The scholar looked around and lowered his voice and said, "In the court, evil stars show their power. All righteous people and gentlemen retreat, and their power will spread all over the world. This is why the heaven warns him."

Only then did Pan Long understand what he meant - wasn't he just to oppose the Di Luonan reform?

He couldn't help laughing: "No matter how capable Prince Luonan is, he is not qualified to make God sound an alarm. He is just a real master, and he has not even been able to cultivate immortality."

The scholar shook his head and said seriously: "Personal strength is just a small matter. The resources you master and the size of the influence are the key. Did Taizu cultivate and grow up in the past? But is he qualified to respond to the celestial phenomena?"

Pan Long couldn't refute this. He couldn't say: "Zhao Sheng sensed a ghost's celestial phenomena, but he wasn't a person from this world..."

Moreover, Zhao Sheng may not have never "sensing the celestial phenomena" back then - Wen Chao has the Jiuzhou Ding, which can change the flow of the vital energy of heaven and earth and the qi veins of the earth. It is easy to get some celestial phenomena.

With the moral integrity of these two people, it is natural to make trouble for some rain and cry at night, but it is strange not to do so.

He had no choice but to nod: "Well, yeah, you're right."

Successfully refuted Pan Long, which made the scholar very proud. He chuckled and made a look of "The Seven Killing Star is a hero" and continued: "The Seven Killing Star is in charge of the imperial court, and even the emperor is confused by him, which shows signs of going against the enemy. Although the disaster has just begun with the efforts of the nobles, it is only Qingzhou and Xiazhou that are currently suffering. As long as he is not completely defeated, sooner or later he will expand the disaster to the entire Jiuzhou!"

He talked, feeling worried about the country and the people: "I don't know how severe the celestial phenomena will be at that time, and how many suffering will the people encounter!"

Pan Long laughed dryly, feeling it was difficult to continue the conversation.

But it was snowing in late spring, so why did you have to talk about national policies? Could you be the legendary old party of the Song Dynasty, drought was also the pot of Wang Anshi's reform, and earthquake was also the pot of Wang Anshi's reform. Even a meteorite fell from the sky had to be engraved on it specifically to frame and slander the reform?

This is too old-fashioned!

Before he could answer, a young swordsman from the martial arts world on a table next to him was unhappy and said, "The reforms of Diluonan have great benefits to the country and the people. If it is really a response from God, it should bring down auspiciousness!"

"Yes, I also heard that during this period, several auspicious places have appeared in Xiazhou." Someone on another table also said, "What are horses with horns, hens crowing, ducks with feathers turned into swans, mushrooms by the field have grown into Ganoderma lucidum... They are all auspicious!"

The scholar was besieged by two people and suddenly became angry and his voice became louder: "You are so ignorant! Horses have horns and peonies turn into heroes, which are all ominous signs! As for the ducks turn into swans and mushrooms turn into Ganoderma lucidum, they are just tricks in the world. Who can't do anything about the artists who go around the world? "

He pointed to the heavy snow outside the door and said loudly: "But look at this day! Look at this snow! Can this be forged? This is what God means, and the best evidence for the warning of God!"

"The heaven is not that boring..." The swordsman's deskmate, a girl with a sword on her back, muttered, "The world is so big, I care about all these small things, isn't it annoying?"

The scholar was almost jumping: "You are really ignorant, don't you know the principle of 'responsibility of heaven and man's response'? People do what they do, and heaven feels. Therefore, only when mortals respond can they achieve immortality. If the heaven and mortals really have no response, where can mortals come from practicing to becoming immortals?"

The two young men in the martial arts world were shocked, looking at me, and looking at you, their expressions became a little suspicious.

After a while, the girl asked in a low voice: "Is this the case for the celestial beings...?"

"How do I know? My master is only innate..." the young man replied.

"But what he said... seems to make some sense."

The young man nodded, looking at the heavy snow outside, showing a look of worry.

The theory of the response of heaven and man can be regarded as a sure truth in Jiuzhou - after all, in this world, masters who have cultivated to such a state are real, and even those who have further cultivated and lived.

If according to this scholar, the heavy snow in late spring is now caused by the heavens' rebellious actions on earth, wouldn't that mean that Di Luonan's reforms are really angry and resentful?

"It's not right... the people are still very supportive of Prince Luonan's reform policy." The traveler who introduced Xiangrui before said, "I have visited several places, and everyone supports the reform."

"That's just that you have short-sighted eyes and can't see the long-term!" The scholar won another game, even more proudly, almost tilting his nose up, and said proudly, "After all, you have little study and don't have enough knowledge."

"Then you read a lot and have great knowledge. Do you give us a look and open our eyes?" The man came over and poured him a glass of wine, "If this glass of wine is my apology for you."

The scholar drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll explain it to you clearly now."

Next, he told a lot of bad things about the reform of Diluan.

His views mainly focus on the aspect of "intensifying contradictions".

"Mr. Taiqing said that if you are cooking a big country, you must be careful and not turn it around easily." He said while drinking, and finally got a little drunk, saying, "The Qisha Star uses the problems existing in the court as a wedge. On the surface, it is to solve the problem for the court. In fact, he wants to intensify the conflicts between all parties, arouse dissatisfaction with all parties, and eventually stir up wars."

"When today, although it cannot be called a peaceful and prosperous era, it is at least stable. Even if there are some problems, we should start from the most urgent and modify it bit by bit. Change it a little this year and a little next year, and spend 30 or fifty years to modify it one by one."

"But how could that evil star choose a safe and harmless solution? It should be noted that it descends to the world, not to make the country peaceful, but to cause harm to the living beings!"

He stood up, settled the bill, and staggered to the door with a wine pot: "Don't look at his situation now, and he looks like a lively scene of flowers and bright fire cooking oil, but when all conflicts break out, the world is in chaos and the nine provinces are divided, and the people are displaced... Then you will know that no matter how bad the court is today, it is much better than the war."

"I have a word to warn you: I would rather be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times!"

As he said that, he walked out of the inn, staggered into the wind and snow, and gradually disappeared.

In the inn, everyone was speechless.

After a long time, someone muttered: "Will the situation really be that bad? Not that."

"Yes, yes." Someone immediately agreed, "This scholar is just pretending to be amazing. As a scholar, he likes to scare people in such shocking ways!"

Everyone agreed, so the atmosphere quickly became active again. What the scholar said just now was like a gust of wind, which had disappeared without a trace.

But until Pan Long returned to his room to sleep, he kept muttering in his heart.

Can the senior officials of the court really see something that even an ordinary scholar can foresee?

Even if the senior officials of the court could not tell him, could they say that Di Renchen could not tell him? Di Hedong could not tell him?

Why did Di Luonan's overly radical reform plan be recognized by everyone and began to be implemented?
