Chapter 269 Desert Land
"Really?" He Zhongqing's eyes lit up.
"My father's order will arrive soon, and the officials of the prefectures suffering from the heat will organize the entire city's citizens to evacuate in batches to the south.
Going along the river, the weather may get hotter and hotter, so it is better to make plans early.
You find a place to store water, a large place, preferably a small lake. My princess's friend has water, and I will leave some for you. You mobilize the people of the city to take away as much as possible."
"Great, thank you, Your Highness the Princess." He Zhongqing stood up and knelt. He performed this ceremony sincerely.
But he was confused in his heart, where did the princess's friend get the water from and where did she put it.
But he didn't ask anything, just do it.
He Zhongqing immediately asked the yamen runners to find the most suitable place to release the water.
In less than half a day, they found a good place. There was a small lake outside the city. It was dry and just big enough to hold water.
He Zhongqing personally took Lou Shiyan and the other two to the lake.
Yun Ranqing did not hide anything and took out a space ring, jumped into the air, and poured water down.
This scene shocked He Zhongqing and the two yamen runners who followed him.
"Sir He, my friends know some magic. They are invited by this princess to help Lou Lan survive this catastrophe. They will also help us find the cause of the catastrophe. Everyone's relocation is only temporary. Once my friend finds the cause and solves it, the people can return." Lou Shiyan looked at Yun Ranqing in the sky and said to He Zhongqing.
He Zhongqing knelt down again after hearing this: "Thank you, Master, for your help!"
The two yamen runners behind him also knelt down. They saw with their own eyes that water was pouring down from mid-air.
Soon, the small lake in front of them was filled.
When Yun Ranqing stopped and returned to the ground, He Zhongqing and two yamen runners kowtowed to Yun Ranqing three times.
"Hurry up and notify the people to fill the water, otherwise it will seep into the soil." Yun Ranqing said lightly.
He Zhongqing heard it and rushed to the city without caring about anything else.
This water is too precious and cannot be wasted.
He Zhongqing now has only one idea, faster, faster, the faster the better.
Sure enough, when Feng Tianxing and the other two slowly walked towards the city, the people who were notified ran to the lake with various tools that could hold water.
One ran faster than the other.
He Zhongqing brought the yamen runners to maintain order.
When the water in the small lake was filled by the people, He Zhongqing remembered that he had to entertain the princess.
But he could no longer find anyone.
It felt like what happened before was just a dream, but the water actually entered the homes of the people, and it was so real.
Feng Tianxing and the other two entered the next city, notified the prefect, and provided water.
This was repeated, and five cities were notified, all of which were the cities with the most water shortage.
Because the weather was too hot, Lou Shiyan couldn't stand it, so he had to hide in the space.
Feng Tianxing and Yun Ranqing came to the northernmost edge near the desert.
The sun was scorching, and the heat waves were rolling, as if even the air was twisted by the baking.
They walked slowly on the deserted land, surrounded by desolation, and even a trace of wind seemed so hot and ruthless.
This land had long lost its vitality due to a long period of drought, and cracks were crisscrossed, as if the earth was groaning in pain.
Feng Tianxing stepped on the sand and felt a scorching heat coming from under her feet. She felt that even the soles of her shoes were about to be scorched.
She looked around and saw the undulating sand dunes in the distance, endless and dead silent, as if even time had stopped here.
The further they walked, the more they felt the desolation and loneliness of this land.
The signs of life that should have existed had long disappeared from this land, not even a lone eagle.
Feng Tianxing felt a sense of grief in her heart, and she couldn't help but think of the people who fled because of the heat.
They had lived on this land for many years, but had to leave their homes because of the ruthless heat.
She took a deep breath and felt the dust and heat in the air.
"Brother Ming Wang, I feel that the heat source should be deep in the desert. Because along the way, the closer we get to here, the higher the temperature is."
"I have the same feeling, and it even seems like something is calling me. Do you think this heat disaster happened because of me?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what does this have to do with you?" Feng Tianxing disagreed.
"No, Sister Feng, I really have a strong feeling. Didn't you say that I'm missing a soul and a spirit? And your master said that I was originally a heavenly way, do you think it's deep in this desert?"
Since Yun Ranqing met Feng Tianxing in these years, he has never cared that no one can see his face, but he still longs to be like a normal person.
"Now that you mention it, it's possible. Anyway, this time we came out, in addition to helping Lou Lan solve the problem, we can also take the opportunity to help you find your soul."
"Well, let's go to the depths of the desert to have a look, or rest here?"
Although the two of them used the cooling spell, they still felt uncomfortable after a long time, and it would be better to take a shower.
"Then let's go to the space to rest for a night and leave tomorrow morning. Anyway, it's getting dark now." Feng Tianxing didn't want to search in the desert at night.
The two entered the space, and Lou Shiyan had already prepared the meal.
"Master, master, let's go and see the food I planted." Xiao Hei flew over and wanted to take the two to see it.
"Xiao Hei, you have worked hard. Let's go and take a look first."
The two came to a plain ten miles away from the cave.
"Wow, Xiao Hei, you are amazing. You have grown so much in such a short time." Feng Tianxing exclaimed.
"Master, I have already harvested several crops. Look over there."
Feng Tianxing looked at a row of hollow greenhouses on the left.
There were many bags neatly stacked inside.
"Xiao Hei is really capable. You have harvested so much food in such a short time. I thank you on behalf of the people."
"What are you thanking me for? Hua Xian has washed my feathers twice. See if my feathers are shiny or not?" Xiao Hei deliberately spread his wings to show Feng Tianxing.
"Well, it is much brighter than before, and darker, shiny black." Feng Tianxing came to the conclusion after taking a look.
Xiao Hei flew beautifully in the sky for several times, showing its shiny and moist feathers.
The next day, the two of them left the space, and a heat wave suddenly came, making the two of them feel almost burned. They
immediately applied the cooling technique.
Walking in the air.
The two of them slowly went deeper into the desert, looking down as they walked.
The heat wave rolled up the wind and sand, flying all over the sky.
The deeper they went, the stronger the wind and sand were. If the two of them were not at a high place and were not cultivators, they would not be able to move forward in such wind and sand.
The two of them lowered their altitude a little, removed the cooling technique on their bodies, and felt the temperature.
"Brother Ming Wang, do you feel the temperature is higher?"
"Yes, it is much higher than where we just came in, which means we are heading in the right direction, the heat source is in this desert."
"Let's look forward."
The two of them climbed a little higher and continued forward.
About half an hour later. The two of them had arrived at the center of the desert.
"Brother Ming Wang, look." Feng Tianxing pointed to a desert not far away.
