Chapter 356 Little Ice Age



There is no coincidence in the world.

Baopuzi and Sun Huayuan, who had gone ahead, also found their way here at this time.

Yan Jiaoran and his group were seen from afar.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

The ancestor was just an insignificant official in the court, and he made a fool of himself, causing uproar in Jingzhou City, and he was still a criminal.

If the emperor wants to see him, he can just send someone to summon him.

Why do you have to come here in person?

That’s not all, he even disguised himself and ran out incognito to meet the master.

This matter is quite intriguing.

Judging from the situation, the ancestor does not seem to be in the "confinement room". Where did he go?

Why does the emperor still look so anxious and angry?

It seems there is a story here!

Baopuzi and Sun Huayuan were so anxious that they almost brought a small stool, took out some melon seeds, and started cracking them while watching the fun.

When the two of them overheard that Qin Yuan had disappeared and had left with the Taoist people.

I got angry all of a sudden.

Taoism?

Who else in the Taoist sect could do such a thing as hitting someone in the back, except those old bastards in Taiyi Zhenzong who have no moral principles?

Too much, too much!

He actually did such a thing as robbing the founder!

You don’t even care about your face anymore!

The two looked at each other, and then disappeared into the world.

They're going to go and argue with the people from Taiyi Zhenzong!

However, when the two arrived at the Taiyi Zhenzong headquarters, they found nothing.

There are only a few small shrimps left here, and not a single person of importance is left.

Okay, okay, let’s try this, eh?

Baopuzi immediately summoned the disciples of Yuhan Sect and began to track the whereabouts of the disciples of Taiyi Zhenzong, determined to find his own ancestor!

The other side.

Qin Yuan was teaching a class to a large group of eight-bag elders from the Beggar Gang.

I have to say.

The Taiyi Zhenzong was truly abstract. When all the elites of the sect got together, it was like a meeting for the Beggars' Sect.

Qin Yuan coughed lightly a few times and said leisurely: "Masters, what I am going to talk about today is a skill that is kept in the bottom of the box and will never be passed on to others. Masters, please keep it secret and don't leak it out."

Lin Caiquan grinned and replied, "Don't worry, Grandmaster."

"This place is absolutely secretive, and we have three layers of security personnel deployed inside and outside to ensure that not even a mosquito can fly in!"

"Master, just speak freely. We have been practicing Taoism for many years and are naturally not talkative people. We promise that we will say everything about you and keep it to ourselves."

"Okay then." Qin Yuan began the class, "Masters, please listen carefully."

The words fell.

The Taoists in the room all raised their heads and chests, sat upright and honestly like primary school students, staring at Qin Yuan with burning eyes.

"I guess all of you Taoist priests are very knowledgeable about celestial phenomena, right?"

Qin Yuan glanced around and asked slowly.

Everyone said modestly: "I understand a little, I understand a little."

"Okay then."

Qin Yuan smiled slightly: "Let's talk about this astronomical phenomenon today."

"Let's talk about the connection between celestial phenomena and national destiny."

"Master Lin, what do you think about this?"

Lin Caiquan thought briefly and then replied, "The fate of a nation is definitely closely related to celestial phenomena."

"Whether it's floods or droughts, any disaster will cause people to suffer, easily leading to disasters and sparking civil unrest."

Qin Yuan nodded and said affirmatively: "Master, what you said is very good."

"The territory of the Great Zhou is so vast, are the celestial phenomena the same in different places?" Qin Yuan asked.

Lin Caiquan shook his head and said, "Celestial phenomena vary from time to time and from place to place. Different mountains and rivers, different geography, different places will naturally have different celestial phenomena. It is definitely impossible to generalize."

Qin Yuan asked again: "Then Taoist priest, since the celestial phenomena in different places are different, is there any pattern to follow?"

Lin Caiquan thought for a moment and replied, "Generally speaking, there is a pattern. For example, at the same time, the further north you go, the colder it gets, and the further south you go, the hotter it gets."

"The south is rainy, hot, and humid, with miasma everywhere."

"The north is quite cold, and the winter is particularly long."

“…”

Lin Caiquan talked about a lot of rules in one breath.

Qin Yuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It was worthy of being the number one meteorological academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The summary was spot on.

"Since you Taoist priests are so knowledgeable about celestial phenomena, have you ever considered whether the celestial phenomena in the same place change over the course of hundreds or thousands of years?"

"Take Jingzhou as an example. Have you noticed that Jingzhou seems to be getting colder in recent years?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

In the same place, have the celestial phenomena changed over hundreds or thousands of years?

Is the winter in Jingzhou getting colder?

They really haven't paid attention to these two issues.

He immediately racked his brains and began to think.

Then, an answer came out.

He designated a representative to answer with his eyes.

Lin Caiquan said slowly: "The celestial phenomena in a place will naturally change."

"In recent years, winter has indeed arrived earlier in Jingzhou, and the winters have also become colder."

Qin Yuan did not answer, and asked again: "Then, Taoist priests, think about it again. According to common sense, the land of Baiyue is relatively hot, and it rarely snows even in winter, right?"

"Then I would like to ask all the Taoist priests, in the thousands of years of history, has there ever been heavy snow in the land of Baiyue?!"

"When the land of Baiyue was hit by heavy snow, what was the situation like in the north, which should have been even colder?"

Qin Yuan’s words exploded in everyone’s minds.

It’s relatively hot in the south, where it rarely snows, but now it’s snowing.

Wouldn’t the north be covered with ice for thousands of miles, snow for tens of thousands of miles, and all the rivers frozen?

Under such weather conditions, not to mention crops and livestock, even people would be frozen to death or suffer frostbite!

What’s even more terrifying is that the ancestor was not exaggerating.

Such a thing really happened, and it was clearly recorded in the Taoist scriptures!

Lin Caiquan looked up suddenly, coming to a startling conclusion. He asked in disbelief, "Grandmaster, are you saying that the Great Zhou might be hit by a cold disaster next?"

Qin Yuan looked at the horrified crowd and smiled slightly, saying, "Master Lin, don't jump to conclusions. Let's take it one step at a time."

"To better discuss this issue, let's introduce a new term - temperature."

"This temperature is used to measure the outside temperature."

As soon as Qin Yuan explained, everyone understood.

This is indeed more vivid than cold and hot.

Qin Yuan continued, "The changes in celestial phenomena are cyclical."

"This will take a very long time, often hundreds of years."

"And within a certain period, the temperature everywhere will suddenly drop, becoming extremely cold and unsuitable for survival."

"This period might as well be called the Little Ice Age."

"Masters, have you ever thought about the impact of such a large-scale temperature drop on the Great Zhou?"

After that, everyone fell into deep thought.
