Chapter 215 Serious Snow?
In the twenty-first year of Wanren's reign, the first snow in Tianren City came earlier than before.
It is clearly autumn, the dead leaves on the trees have not yet fallen, and the snowflakes have already fallen.
The originally sparse snowflakes quickly became dense and fell to the ground with a rustling sound.
Ji Que stood next to Zhang Yishan who fell to the ground and sighed: "Is this an injustice?"
If the sudden heavy snowfall was unexpected enough, then Ji Que's victory over Zhang Yishan, the benevolent woman who was in the top three of the Jade Ranking, could be said to be a thunderbolt.
There is only one thought in everyone's mind, that is, the Qingyu List is going to explode.
Although Ji Que's reputation in the North has become more and more famous, most people have a strong impression of him, but he is Ning Hongyu's subordinate. Because of his handsome appearance, he eats Ning Hongyu's soft rice.
suspicion.
Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, Ji Que is behind Ning Hongyu and is not as common sense as Ning Hongyu.
And the ranking of the great virtuous girl Zhang Yishan on the Jade Ranking was even higher than that of Ning Hongyu, so it was difficult for them to be optimistic about Ji Que, thinking that Ji Que had inflated after many victories, and they didn't know how deep the water in the spiritual world was.
But the fact is that this pool of water is nothing to Ji Que.
At this time, Zhang Yishan's followers had already started dragging Zhang Yishan in the pit. Ji Que came over and frightened them so much that they sat down on the ground.
Now in their eyes, Ji Que is already intimidating, and he can scare them to the point of peeing with his slightest move.
They wanted to leave Zhang Yishan on the spot and run away without looking back, but their legs didn't obey their orders.
Ji Que stood in front of Zhang Yishan and said, "Don't pretend to be dead, apologize."
Zhang Yishan opened his closed eyes, coughed up blood, and said in pain: "I'm sorry."
Ji Que said: "Then the conflict between us has passed, or will it continue?"
Zhang Yishan said with tears in his eyes: "It's over."
At this time, Ji Que glanced at the two frightened followers and said, "Take them away."
For a moment, the two followers seemed to have been granted amnesty and hurriedly ran away with the good girl Zhang Yishan.
It can be seen from their expressions that they are afraid of Ji Queru ghosts and gods.
As for the Demon-Conquering Tower, the way they looked at Ji Que also changed.
What's this called eating Ning's red fish for dinner? Why does this make people feel harder than Miss Ning?
In this duel between the Demon-Conquering Tower and the Demon-Expelling Valley, because Ji Que was so deep and hard, the Demon-Conquering Tower was a great victory. The Demon-Conquering Tower, who had been suppressed and bullied by the Demon-Expelling Valley in the previous two months, couldn't help but let out a bad breath.
Those comrades who had quietly retreated behind the crowd rushed over one after another, expressing their admiration for Ji Que like a torrent of river water.
Seeing the crowd crowding around him and automatically giving way to a path wherever he went, Ji Que couldn't help but sigh: "Why do you feel like a gangster again?"
Not long after the completion of the newly built Demon-Conquering Tower, it was hit by the Demon-Eliminating Valley. Everyone felt that this was bad luck, and some fellow Taoists thought it was a bad omen.
After Ji Que's battle, most people believed that the Demon-Conquering Tower was on the verge of revival. The fellow Taoist priest even changed his mind and said, "This is a good omen."
Just because of the snow, everyone just felt a lot colder.
In just half a day, the scattered snowflakes turned into heavy snowflakes, which tended to get bigger and bigger.
Snowflakes fell like goose feathers on the bamboo forest and on the black roof tiles, dyeing everything white, giving people a very unreal feeling.
Tianren City has always had distinct four seasons. Even if it snows occasionally in winter, it is still just light snow that does not match the climate, or what people call auspicious snow.
It can be said that the reason why Tianren City can gather so many people is that it is indeed a blessed land with good weather and has not seen any natural disasters for many years.
It never snowed in Tianren City in autumn, at least the old man who has lived here for many years has no relevant memory.
And the autumn in Tianren City is not cold, as can be seen from the cool dress of some dedicated brothel girls in gauze dresses.
In the past winter, they probably dressed like this.
But at this time, those girls who originally dressed coolly all year round couldn't bear it anymore and began to add more clothes.
With this snowfall, the coldness in Tianren City has already exceeded that of the twelfth lunar month, the coldest winter period in the past.
Lin Xiangzhi said in surprise while nibbling honeydew melon: "Is it really snowing?"
In fact, everyone in Tianren City was extremely surprised by this.
The men and women who were originally wearing short shirts and thin skirts were severely cold, so they quickly took out their winter clothes to avoid the cold.
Poor people dislike this kind of weather the most.
In the cold winter, the rich can wear fox fur and eat hot pot as much as they want, but the poor cannot eat enough, wear warm clothes, and have to resist the cold, which is particularly difficult.
Especially the beggars sleeping on the street, who originally thought they would have to survive for another autumn, but were suddenly dragged to "hell".
However, they still hold on to hope, because this is a vision of heaven and earth, and it should not last long.
Ji Que, like most people, believed that the snow would last for two or three days at most.
Unfortunately, his prediction was wrong.
The snow has been falling for four days without stopping, and is getting heavier and heavier.
At first, the world in autumn was just covered with snow, which was not much different from the ordinary winter snow.
However, after more than three days of heavy snowfall, the lives of everyone in Tianren City were greatly affected.
On the fourth day after defeating the Good Lady, Ji Que looked at the snow in his courtyard that was about to cover the threshold, feeling a little surprised.
The surprise he felt here gradually turned into fear when viewed by more people living in Tianren City.
At first, the snow covered the ankles at most, making traveling only slightly difficult. As the snow covered the calves, some weak people could not even think of going out.
When this autumn snow has affected people's lives, the people in this area discovered that they had no experience in this area.
Some bright-minded and conservative people were already secretly buying and storing food when the snow fell the next day.
On the fourth day, more and more people found that it was time to save some food and firewood to be safe, but snow had already blocked many roads.
It is difficult for people to travel, even those who are young and strong. After walking dozens of steps, they are out of breath and want to turn back immediately.
When people walk on such a snowy road and look at the falling snow, they feel a sense of panic that they will be drowned.
Snow fell like goose feathers, making a rustling sound.
Some people began to take notice of the snow in their courtyards, only to find that the snow outside their courtyard doors had accumulated so deeply that it was difficult to sweep it out.
As the roads were blocked by snow, the originally lively streets of Tianren City became particularly deserted and deserted.
For practitioners like Ji Que, snow cannot stop them from going anywhere. For example, right now, Ji Que is swimming around in the snow in the yard.
Lin Xiangzhi was wearing a goose-yellow silk skirt and didn't feel cold at all.
When she walks on the snow, her feet will not sink under the snow and will only leave a shallow footprint.
This kind of walking on snow can be done by any monk who has reached the second level of Qi Condensation.
Ji Que swam quite happily with his eyes closed. When he got excited, he plunged into the snow and did some snorkeling.
He is still optimistic.
Visions in the heaven and earth come in different sizes, and there is no telling if it will happen for a few more days this time.
As a result, just as he was about to get up from the submerged snow, the crooked-neck tree in the yard suddenly fell over and hit him directly.
Ji Que lifted the tree and climbed out. Looking at the heavy snow that was still falling, he realized for the first time that if the snow continued to fall like this, people might die.
Because of the snow, he stayed at home for several days and did not go out on the streets.
He knew that in this kind of weather, tofu nao stalls would not be able to set up stalls.
Heavy snow covered the world in front of him, and the originally non-repeating scenery suddenly became similar. Ji Que felt a little bored for a moment, so he decided to go out for a walk.
Lin Xiangzhi also followed him out, saying that there was no food at home.
She doesn't even know where she can buy groceries now.
The shops along the street were all closed, and the thick snow covered the thresholds and even a section of the door panels, giving Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi the illusion that they had grown taller.
Where the snow is deep, the courtyard wall that used to have to be jumped is now almost as high as them.
Later, they also saw a section of the roof of a tiled house collapsed by the weight of snow, and a man was lying there painfully repairing the house.
He lay on the roof and heard the sound of his wife delivering tiles below.
Ji Que saw this and said, "Want to help?"
The man was stunned for a moment, not expecting anyone to come out in such heavy snow.
At this time, a little girl's voice came from the room - "Dad, Mom, I'm so cold."
Ji Que no longer hesitated and lightly jumped to the roof, startling the man.
The next moment, he jumped straight into the house.
There were some good or bad tiles piled on the floor of the house.
Originally, the woman and the little girl in the room were startled when they saw a man suddenly jumping down, thinking that it was not their husband. But after seeing Ji Que's handsome face, they felt relieved again.
He's so handsome, he doesn't look like a bad guy.
The next moment, Ji Que's energy surged around him, and the tiles on the ground flew up one after another and stuck to him.
At first glance, he looked like he was wearing a shirt made of tiles.
He jumped onto the eaves, and with the Tai Chi movement, the tiles on his body also started to rotate.
Crashing, there seemed to be many pairs of invisible hands in the air, and the tiles fell on the roof one by one and stacked up.
After a while, the roof was repaired.
The man naturally knew that he had met a monk and quickly thanked him on the roof: "Thank you so much, young hero."
Ji Que quickly supported him and said, "Don't kneel down, or you may collapse because of this. Go back."
As he spoke, he landed lightly on the street and walked out.
"May I ask the young hero Gao's name?"
The man was about to thank him again, but Ji Que just waved his hand and disappeared into the street with Lin Xiangzhi without looking back.
The man stood on the roof and looked at the man and woman disappearing in the snow. He felt as if he was in a dream.
Then he couldn't help but shiver, and climbed down the ladder. As he climbed, he said, "I'm freezing to death."
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi were walking on the road when they suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but say, "Will our water house be crushed by the snow?"
Among these houses, he has been worried about the water houses.
The water house is relatively poorly built and gets soaked by water every year, so it is the weakest.
So he decided to go and have a look.
It was a long journey from Qingyun Canal to Linshui Lane. Walking in the vast snow, there was no one on the street. Ji Que felt that Tianren City, which was so familiar to him, had become strange.
At this time, the two finally saw someone on the street.
Two beggars in ragged clothes were buried in the snow with livid faces.
When Ji Que stepped forward and pulled them out, he found that they were already dead and their bodies were stiff.
One of the little beggars looked familiar to him. He once asked him for food in Linshui Lane. He looked like he was less than ten years old.
Lin Xiangzhi stood behind him, speechless.
Looking at the bodies of the two beggars, Ji Que sighed helplessly.
For a moment he didn't know where to bury them.
There is an ancient poem that says, "The wine and meat of the Zhumen stink, and the roads are frozen to death." But Ji Que knew that if the snow continued like this, the Zhumen might not even be able to protect themselves.
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi arrived at the old house in Linshui Lane.
The snow was so heavy in the alley that even the ditch next to it was invisible.
The snow here is almost waist deep, and the courtyard door of the water house is tilted under the pressure.
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi wanted to sweep away the snow, but there were other houses around this alley. If the snow was swept away from their own house, it would pile up in front of other people's houses.
In the end, the two had no choice but to give up.
The sky was terribly gloomy, and gray lead clouds piled up in the sky, which was very depressing.
I'm afraid the snow won't stop for a while.
The two of them continued walking. The snack street that used to be quite noisy was now the only two of them walking on the snow, and the world was lonely.
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the house next to her.
"Ms. sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't come over here!"
"If you dare to mess around, I will report it to the official."
At this time, only a man's voice was heard - "Report to the official? Now the official can't take care of it himself, why will he take care of this? Take out all the money, madam, let us two brothers feel happy again, and I will let you go."
A life with your worthless husband.”.
Ji Que and Lin Xiangzhi glanced at each other, then put their feet on the snow and landed on the courtyard wall of the house.
The yard was piled with snow and sprinkled with bright red blood.
A man with a sharp knife stuck in his abdomen, his face ashen, fell under the eaves.
Inside the house, a woman was holding scissors and confronting two men in black.
The two men wore black gauze on their heads, and each held a sharp knife. One of them was stained with blood, and they looked quite fierce.
"Come here! Help!" The woman was trembling all over and shouted desperately.
The tall man couldn't help but said with a ferocious smile: "You're shouting! You don't even look at the situation outside. Why don't you even scream to see if anyone comes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a click, and a young man and woman landed in the yard.
When the two men with knives turned around, they saw a pair of wall figures standing there.
The two men with knives were very frightened.
The tall man wore a black gauze cloth and his scalp was numb, but he knew that there was no way back. He couldn't help but worry, and said with a ferocious expression: "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will not suffer the consequences!"
