Lu Wangsheng finished speaking quickly, fearing that Xiang Sheng would chase him away before he could finish listening.
He was at his wit's end. With the strong wind and heavy snow outside, his voice couldn't carry far. He had gone to several houses before, shouting until his voice was hoarse, but no one had come out.
So I could only try my luck in this lighted calligraphy workshop.
I thought it was the middle of the night and the person inside would hesitate for a moment, but as soon as I finished speaking, the door opened.
"Boss Lu."
Xiang Sheng made way and pointed to the basket in the corner of the back room: "Take as much as you need."
Lu Wangsheng was stunned for a moment, then thanked him repeatedly, walked to the back room, picked up more than twenty pieces of charcoal, threw them into a cloth bag, and then took out ten copper coins and put them on the table.
The market price of charcoal was two cents per pound, and since he had bothered me so late at night, I gave him some extra.
Xiang Sheng looked at him without saying much, only saying lightly: "It's late at night and the snow is heavy. Boss Lu, take care."
Lu Wangsheng clasped his fists and thought to himself, this woman looks cold and difficult to approach, but unexpectedly she has a soft heart.
Thinking of this, Lu Wangsheng walked to the door, paused again, turned around and said, "Miss Xiang, please forgive me for saying something extra.
Although Chen Laosi had told the neighbors that no one would bother him, his mediocre skills were only good enough to show off in front of people like us. If he met a real opponent, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.
The world is not peaceful, so be careful when you walk alone."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, which was considered as winning over Lu Wangsheng.
Seeing this, Lu Wangsheng said no more and walked into the night against the wind and snow.
Xiang Sheng did not rush to close the door. He took two steps to the door, looked at the howling snow outside, and frowned slightly.
Wang Tuo, who was lying on the chair, also jumped down and walked to Xiang Sheng's feet. His golden eyes flashed, "You noticed it too?"
"Um."
Xiang Sheng hummed lightly, "It's the snowstorm caused by the movement of the earth's core."
Wang Tuo tutted, "Aren't you a God of Earth now? Can't you force the snow to stop?"
Xiang Sheng shook his head, "This is the natural feedback of the earth's core. If I try to stop it by force, it will only bring about greater disasters.
But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, Dushui City will be fine."
Wang Tuo sat down and licked his paws. "What about other places? Have you thought of a solution?"
"I have an idea, maybe we can give it a try."
As Xiang Sheng spoke, he flipped his palm and a light flashed, and a mirror appeared.
"Sky Monitoring Mirror?"
Wang Tuo was much more experienced than before. He recognized the mirror's origin at a glance and asked in surprise, "Isn't this mirror from the Thousand Star Palace? How did it end up in your hands?"
"It's a long story."
Xiang Sheng stroked the mirror with his palm, "This mirror has the ability to monitor the sky. I will return it to its original owner, and then I can communicate with the various sects in Dongzhou through the Thousand Star Hall."
“That’s a good idea.”
Wang Tuo's eyes lit up slightly. "If someone from the Thousand Star Palace sees the secret communication through the Heaven Monitoring Mirror, they will only think it's a sign from the Heaven Monitoring Mirror. No one will think it's you."
"No, Jiang Yi will definitely have some doubts."
Xiang Sheng narrowed his eyes, "However, since he only has one flaw, I can still tolerate it."
That night, Xiang Sheng went to the Thousand Star Palace and quietly put the Sky Monitoring Mirror back to its original place.
When Master Chang Yan saw the Heaven Monitoring Mirror, he was shocked. Then he saw floods, droughts, earthquakes, plagues...
"So many disaster omens, even the locations are clearly marked..."
Master Chang Yan was both surprised and delighted. After the disappearance, the Heaven Monitoring Mirror returned even more spiritually.
He was just worrying about how to deal with the subsequent impact of the geocentric shift, and now he was given a pillow just as he was sleepy. He was overjoyed and quickly called Jiang Yi to discuss it.
What happened later was a natural outcome.
Xiang Sheng didn't know whether Jiang Yi thought much after seeing the Heaven-Monitoring Mirror, as she had not received any message.
Over the next few days, the wind and snow in Dushui City never stopped. There was so much snow on the streets that a thick layer of ice formed and no one walked outside.
Households in the city already had the habit of storing food for the winter, so they simply stayed at home. As for the scattered beggars on the streets of the city, they had long been moved directly to Shengcheng by Xiang Sheng to ensure that they would not freeze to death.
Widow Wang was worried about Xiang Sheng, so she would visit him from time to time and bring him some food. However, she didn't know that the life and death of this city was in Xiang Sheng's control.
As the days passed, Xiang Sheng gradually figured out some ideas to eliminate his resentment and often went to the center of the earth to experiment, but often with little success.
However, it was not entirely without gain.
After several experiments, her control over the power of the Earth God reached a higher level. She also used this opportunity to find the fragments of the "Deceiving Heaven" array disk left in the underground magma and pieced together the second corner of the array.
