Back to reality, the poultry and livestock that were bought were delivered one after another, so Lu Tian asked them where to buy bees. The poultry owner and the pig farmer both shook their heads.
After hearing this, the cattle and sheep farmer seemed to have thought of something and said, "There is a beekeeper on Xinghua Peak in Jiufeng Mountain. I wonder if he has any bees for sale there."
Lu Tian was overjoyed and asked for the address immediately. He was even more delighted when he saw the beekeeper's address given by the cattle and sheep farmer.
The beekeeper's location was not far from the Lu Zu relics he was looking for, so he could take care of the bees on the way after finding the Lu Zu relics.
After seeing off these vendors, Lu Tian put the poultry and livestock into the meteorite space, and then found a small restaurant to have dinner.
Although it is the off-season for tourism, the prices in the scenic area are much higher than those in general areas. The same scrambled eggs with tomatoes costs 38 yuan at Yuncheng Airport and 42 yuan here. The proprietress said that the eggs they use are all farm eggs, the ingredients are different, and the portions are large.
Lu Tian did not comment and prepared to order food. His appetite was increasing day by day. If he continued like this, he wondered if he would become a glutton and eat an entire cow in one meal.
I just ordered three home-style dishes and was about to order more when the boss hurriedly stopped me and said, "Handsome guy, the portions here are very large. One dish is definitely enough for one person."
"I eat a lot more than the average person, so it's no problem."
Lu Tian was a little embarrassed. He explained and ordered a few more dishes. Seeing this, the restaurant owner had to write it down.
The dishes were gradually served on the table. The portions were indeed huge, with one dish definitely two to three times the size of those in the south. Lu Tian immediately devoured them like a whirlwind. Since rice was free, he ate fifteen bowls of rice and cleared all the dishes on the table.
The boss who was ready to laugh at the joke was stunned. He used to think that those so-called big eaters were all pretending and it was impossible for them to eat so much. But when he saw Lu Tian today, he realized that there really were people who could eat that much.
Lu Tianxia paid the bill and left the restaurant as if escaping.
Lu Tian felt a little helpless on the way. After the spring water transformed his body, his appetite became bigger and bigger. He would soon feel hungry again after eating. He was only 70% full just now. If he was not afraid of scaring the boss, he could eat all the rice in the rice bucket.
After returning to Tian's B&B, Lu Tian washed up and went to bed early. He did not enter the meteorite space again to check on the poultry and livestock.
…
At dawn, a faint sound woke Lu Tian from his sleep.
"What happened, what's that noise?
The sound comes from far away, and it enters the ears like the morning bell and evening drum, making people sink into it unconsciously, open their hearts, and their souls seem to have been baptized by some mysterious power, becoming ethereal.
Lu Tian arrived at the courtyard, followed the sound, and gazed into the distance. The source of the sound was unexpectedly Jiufeng Mountain, ten kilometers away. There, located Chunyang Shanggong, one of the three sacred sites of Taoism, was located. It was also his destination this time.
At this moment, a faint glow shone from the direction of Chunyang Shanggong, like a giant torch, towering high on Jiufeng Mountain. The light was dim, but it seemed to possess a magical power. When people saw it, their souls unconsciously sank into it, feeling warm, not as hot as imagined.
"Did something happen in Jiufeng Mountain?"
"This is the bell of Chunyang Palace. It's been ringing unattended for a while now. Legend has it that every time the bell rings, it signifies a disaster. Meteorites just fell in several places on Jiufeng Mountain. I wonder if there were any casualties."
The B&B owner Tian Luwen appeared behind him, looking at the direction where the bell rang with a serious expression.
"Does the sound of a man without a voice foreshadow disaster?"
Lu Tian's expression changed. Could it be related to the coming of the end of the world? If it can really predict disasters, then this stone bell is really magical.
"Yes, at the beginning of the new year, the stone lamp in front of the main hall of the Chunyang Palace, which had been covered in dust for thousands of years, suddenly burst into flames. The blazing light could be seen for a hundred miles. It was the fire on Jiufeng Mountain ahead."
Tian Luwen pointed to the bright light in the distance ahead and said.
"After the stone lanterns were lit, a bronze bell in front of Chunyang Cave suddenly began to ring. Previously, this bell was silent and used as a decoration, but now it rang on its own. The sound was deep and powerful, and it could be heard from far away. Some say that the sound of the bell could be heard as far away as Yuncheng."
"This bronze bell is said to have existed during the time of Lü Zu. It weighs tens of thousands of pounds and is impossible to move by human power. No one knows how it ended up on the mountain. Legend has it that after Lü Zu attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, the bell has stopped making any sound. Over time, it became a decoration in the scenic area and was gradually forgotten."
"Ever since the bronze bell rang at the beginning of the new year, it has seemed to ring irregularly at different times of the day. The sound is like the whisper of a god, as if it is telling something. Some say the spontaneous combustion of the stone lamp and the ringing of the bronze bell are signs of the beginning of a prosperous era, ushering in an unprecedented era of prosperity for mankind. Others say it is a warning of disaster, a warning that a world-destroying catastrophe is about to strike."
"So what do you think?"
"It might be related to a disaster. Every time a stone lamp spontaneously combusts or a bronze bell rings, a disaster will occur. I don't know what's going on lately, but meteorites have been falling on Jiufeng Mountain every day. Initially, it caused many casualties among tourists, so no one dared to come these days. However, it did attract many mystics, who said some holy revelation had occurred and came to make pilgrimages. If I were to say, this is a sign of a prosperous age, or a disaster warning, it's purely a way for these people with too much to do to attract attention. It's not that weird!"
"This time they were right. Even if it was nonsense, they were right this time. The spontaneous combustion of the stone lamp and the ringing of the bronze bell truly foreshadow an unprecedented disaster."
Lu Tian didn't say that everyone has his own opportunity. He is not a saint. He will tell everyone he meets that the end of the world is coming. He is afraid that before he can persuade the other person, he will be sent to a mental hospital.
The spontaneous combustion of stone lamps and the ringing of bronze bells were warning signs of disaster, a catastrophe that would wipe out humanity and plunge it into an unending dark age. This could not be explained by science.
"The news said the Leonid meteor shower is a once-in-a-century astronomical spectacle, and it would last for three days at most. But it's already been almost ten days, and it hasn't ended yet. Instead, it's getting more intense. The spontaneous combustion of stone lamps and the ringing of bronze bells all started from that time.
The words of today's experts and scholars are not as accurate as stone lamps and bronze bells. How can these intellectuals and highly educated people now speak so much nonsense and not a single word of truth, deliberately deceiving us ordinary people who are honest and simple-minded?
As Tian Luwen spoke, he became more and more excited and gritted his teeth, as if these professors and experts were right in front of him.
Lu Tian could understand Tian Luwen's behavior. In his previous life, he believed the experts in the news and thought their words were authoritative. He did not take the information about the end of the world seriously, and in the end, he almost starved to death when the end of the world came.
These experts are slaves to money and are obsessed with money. How can they speak the truth?
"Their words are not as accurate as the stone lanterns and bronze bells of the Chunyang Upper Palace. Now, as long as we hear the sound of the bronze bell, the sky will definitely..."
