Chapter 219 The earth dragon turns over
Chapter 219 The earth dragon turns over
With the support of her son and daughter-in-law, Old Madam Yue walked shakily to the side of the tomb.
He grabbed a handful of yellow earth and scattered it on the coffin, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Old man, go in peace..."
The Yue family members followed suit.
Tears fell onto the new soil.
King Ling stood aside, gazing at the tomb, and secretly made a vow in his heart.
"General Yue, rest assured, your family..."
I, the King, will certainly protect you.
Your legacy, I too will surely carry on.
He bowed deeply towards the tomb.
The people around them followed suit and bowed.
Once the grave was filled in, a tombstone was erected.
King Ling personally picked up the pen.
The inscription on the monument reads "Tomb of General Yue Zhenfeng".
Afterwards, the group placed offerings in front of the tomb.
A final memorial ceremony was held.
Time flies by.
Two months have passed since the passing of General Yue Zhenfeng.
Although winter is approaching,
But the weather remained unbearably hot.
Everyone from Sujia Village was brought back by Daya and the others to live with them.
Da Ya looked at Cheng Peng and asked, "Brother Cheng!"
I heard that you and the brothers in the village are planning to join the army.
Is this true?
Cheng Peng scratched his head and said with a sheepish smile, "Little sister!"
I, Cheng Peng, am just a roughneck.
I am honored to have been given an official position by His Highness King Ling.
From then on, I made up my mind.
We swear to protect the Spirit Kingdom to the death!
Daya nodded slightly, then glanced at the others.
She said, "Everyone, although the weather is hot these days!"
But I've been thinking about something lately.
I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Shanzi said, "Da Ya, just say what's on your mind, and we'll discuss it together."
Xiao Lie chimed in, "That's right, that's right! Let's solve problems together!"
Daya let out a deep sigh.
She said slowly, "I plan to go and find Xiaoya."
As soon as Shanzi heard that Daya was going to find Xiaoya, he immediately stood up.
He refused, saying, "No, I don't agree to you going!"
Xiaoman asked with a puzzled look, "Brother Shanzi, is Sister Daya going to find Sister Xiaoya?"
Why don't you agree?
Shi Zi chimed in, "Yes, Brother Shan Zi!"
Why didn't you agree to let Big Sister go see Little Sister?
Before Shanzi could answer.
Afu then said, "Stop arguing."
There must be a reason why Shanzi disagrees.
What are you two arguing about?!
Shui'er came to Daya's side and hugged her with red eyes.
"Big Sister Ya, I'll go with you to find Little Sister Ya. I miss her so much too."
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Shanzi looked at Daya and said earnestly, "Daya, do you know where Xiaoya is?"
Over the years, King Ling has sent many people to search for him.
But so much time has passed and there's still no news.
New portraits are posted in various cities and towns every two or three months.
If Xiaoya sees the portrait, she'll know we're looking for her.
Why risk going out to look for Little Girl?
At this moment, Big Head frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment.
Finally, he spoke up and suggested, "Brother Shanzi, we've been out adventuring for a long time, experiencing many hardships and dangers. Why don't we go back to Sujia Village to live for the time being?"
Shanzi's expression hardened, and he refused without hesitation.
"Big Head, no! We must not return to Su Family Village until we avenge our grudge against Shadow."
Just imagine, what if those Shadows come knocking on our door again to launch a sneak attack?
With our current martial arts skills, can we really compete with them?
What will we use to protect our fellow villagers then?
Big Head helplessly spread his hands, looking troubled: "Brother Shanzi, I understand what you mean by this."
But now this won't work, that won't work, so tell me, what should we do?
Shanzi walked back to his chair with a solemn expression and sat down, slamming his right hand hard on the table with a crisp "smack".
He then let out a long sigh, momentarily at a loss for words.
At this moment, Da Ya said, "Stop arguing."
I'm bringing this up just to discuss it with everyone.
I didn't say I was going to look for Xiaoya right now.
At this moment, Li Ling'er walked to Daya's side and took her hand.
Looking at Daya, his eyes were full of reluctance.
"Big Sister Daya, please don't go yet."
Although you agreed that my brother and I could cultivate the Linglong Divine Skill.
I was hoping you could come and teach my brother and me how to cultivate.
Da Ya looked at Li Ling'er's pitiful appearance.
I couldn't resist gently stroking her nose with my finger.
He teased her with a smile, "What? Hasn't Big Head been teaching you martial arts properly these past two months?"
Tell me the truth, and I'll teach him a lesson for you.
Li Ling'er didn't expect Da Ya to say that.
Her little face flushed red in an instant.
This made her lower her head in embarrassment.
Shui'er saw Li Ling'er's shy appearance from the side.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
That crisp laughter seemed to have a magical power.
It instantly broke the gloomy atmosphere that had been hanging over everyone.
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
The low mood I was just feeling was easily lifted by a burst of laughter.
Just as everyone's mood was slightly eased by Li Ling'er's shy appearance, the atmosphere in the hall was gradually becoming relaxed and pleasant.
Suddenly, without warning, a strange, dizzying feeling came over me, as if the whole world was shaking.
Everyone felt as if the ground beneath their feet was a small boat on a wave, undulating and their bodies swaying involuntarily, making it difficult to stand.
At first, everyone thought it was just a temporary illusion.
The group looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
Before they could even begin to discuss this strange situation, an even more violent shaking followed, this time several times stronger than before.
Caught off guard, Li Ling'er and her brother collapsed to their knees with a thud.
Then his upper body also fell heavily, and his whole body landed flat on the violently shaking ground.
The floor inside the room trembled violently as if it had gone mad.
It was as if an invisible, enormous force was stirring things up.
At the same time, the whole house shook violently, dust fell from the beams, and the tables and chairs inside were shaken to their sides.
Even though the tall and strong Cheng Peng was muscular, he almost lost his footing due to the intense tremors.
His face changed drastically, and he shouted in a booming voice, "Oh no! Everyone, get outside right now!"
Shanzi and the others had never experienced such a terrifying scene as an earth dragon turning over before.
For a moment, the group seemed frozen in place, their minds blank, completely at a loss.
Until Cheng Peng's thunderous roar rang in my ears.
The group of people suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly came to their senses.
Shanzi stretched out his hands, grabbed Yao'er with one hand and Xiaodie with the other, and rushed out the door with the two of them.
Daya reacted quickly, bending down to grab Li Ling'er, who was still standing beside her, her face pale with fright, and then turned and ran outside.
Xiaoyue steadied herself on the violently shaking ground.
Then he grabbed Li Honglin by the back of his collar, who was lying on the ground, and fled outside.
The others didn't dare to delay at all and stumbled and rushed towards the door.
As Cheng Peng ran, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, run to an open area! Whatever you do, stay away from the big trees!"
For the past six months or so, the weather has been unusually dry, with not a drop of rain, and most of the trees in the city have become withered and yellow.
Now, with the earth turning upside down and the ground shaking violently, these already fragile trees are likely to collapse easily.
If someone is nearby and gets hit, they will be seriously injured, if not killed.
As soon as everyone ran outside, they heard shouts from the people throughout the city.
It was as if the world had instantly descended into chaos.
Some people were seen shouting and yelling at the top of their lungs into the collapsed building.
The sound was filled with despair, as if their loved ones were still inside the house and had not escaped.
Da Ya and the others had just reached a spacious area.
The ground beneath their feet was like a powder keg that had been ignited.
Suddenly, it began to tremble violently again.
The tremor was like a raging beast that had been lying dormant for a long time.
It was suddenly awakened from its slumber, and with boundless rage, it shook its massive body wildly.
With this powerful force, the houses in the distance collapsed in the blink of an eye, like fragile building blocks.
Amidst the swirling dust, one could see distinct cracks on the ground, as if the earth had been ripped open with hideous wounds.
In an instant, the entire city seemed to have turned into a living hell, with screams like sharp arrows piercing the chaotic air, rising and falling in waves.
Blood splattered everywhere in the chaos, and many people who couldn't dodge in time were instantly hit by the collapsing buildings and fell heavily to the ground as if struck by lightning.
Crimson blood, like a burst dam, quickly spread across the ground, making this already ravaged land even more devastating.
-
Today is the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, my younger brother's birthday.
On October 20th last year, due to a reading slump, all the novels I read were basically mindless stories, all of the same type.
So I created my own original book with the idea of "giving it a try".
At first, I didn't know how to write it, and I gradually figured it out on my own.
In November, I met an author who taught me how to write in a few days, which is why I persevered.
In the end, I couldn't escape the "curse" of the young author either. I got bogged down in the trivialities of life and stifled by a lack of inspiration, and before I knew it, the story had stopped halfway through.
Unfortunately, poverty limited his imagination; although there was a plot, he didn't know how to develop it.
Before we knew it, a year had passed.
Today I just randomly made up a chapter, one word at a time.
I will continue to follow up and try to finish writing this book, "The Road Ahead is Full of Confusion".
Thank you all for your continued support, handsome guys and beautiful ladies.
Thanks……
