Chapter 2 Post-Civilization Age

The yaks and sheep had h the fencing in a stampede but had fortunately been headed off by the herds, loud voices The typically fierceand restless

At the sa in the e and soothing words

A few of the old herdsot down on their knees, koing toward the tall

As far as Chu Feng’s arrival is concerned, the herdsners pass by and take shelter a their camp

After a long time, the noise at the foot of the mountain subsided

Chu Feng scrubbed hi hi his exhaustion lessen in his body He took all the candy he had in his possession and gave it away to the children

Several of the children’s cheeks were flushed red—the characteristic plateau redness—and wore shy shtforward and honest i the candy, they scahted and content

What exactly happened in these ’s mind Could it be that those unusual blue colored red spider lilies also bloomed around here before?

The old herder inside the tent had grizzled hair, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, and wore an obviously worried expression on his face He gazed outside the tent toward the faraway mountains

Chu Feng was soon infor within these foothills, and was the reason whyunusually violent behavior and an almost frenzied desire to escape

However, there was no blue colored red spider lily, and the fog had been very thin

“Why did you ko to theasked

“That is the direction of the Holy Mountain” The old herder replied

The Kunlun Mountains1 had always been considered sacred and renowned as one of the Holy Mountains The rich Kunlun mythos appears in many and varied written records, from the Classic of Mountain and Sea to the Huainanzi and the Records of the Grand Historian2

Only a thin shroud of fog appeared in the vicinity of these mountains, but it could be seen that the blue mist in the direction of the Kunlun Mountains was exceptionally rich

The dense fog there was an ardent, roiling ht, a dramatic contrast to the rosy clouds in the sky

It appeared as if a dazzling blue sun wrapped in thick fog was rising and falling there Even separated by such distances, bright rays would e

The endless swirling of the shi+ning blue light appeared incredibly dazzling and mysterious from afar

Therefore, some of the older herdsmen koed and prayed toward that direction

This spectacle afforded by that place was obviously very astonishi+ng; the gorgeous blue fog was like an inificent sunset that was evensaw in the middle of the desert

In the end, as the reason for the appearance of thesepondered

He can think of one possibility, that an earthquake in the ered these events

A similar incident happened in the past; there would often be a sudden clap of thunder in the valley that bo creatures

If the mountains were hit by a violent earthquake, it is very likely that a netic field, the electrical charges in the cloud layer could be affected by the e Coht display in the sky, itand entirely different from usual

Chu Feng was not superstitious by nature and felt that there must be a scientific explanation for what happened in these mountains

But no matter what explanation he offered, the old herder rery look at Chu Feng, believing that Chu Feng had desecrated the Holy Mountain and almost drove him out

Even Chu Feng found many parts of his conjecture to be far-fetched but couldn’t co flowers he came across in the desert

He sighed There were e” Despite the best efforts of many to use the laws of the past to coly difficult to understand

A war fought long ago had left half the Earth in ruins and nearly turned the entire planet into a wasteland Although the world is briain due in part to extensive restoration efforts, it was too difficult to recover the lost splendor of yesteryears

The relatively long years of the Post-Civilization Age had given rise to e disturbances but offered few explanations

In the early ht red clouds that glided over the swollen hills, casting its vibrant rays on the tents and surrounding grassland

Chu Feng said his farewells to the tribe and ain He headed west, into the plateau

Along the way, he learned that thehad covered an extremely wide area, and have at least appeared in the places he passed by

“This couldn’t be another paranormal phenomenon, could it?” He said to himself

Each paranorht about violent upheaval, but there hasn’t been any definitive explanation to date

The sky above Tibet was especially blue, a sharp contrast to the pure white clouds sitting low on the ground as if one could just reach out ever so slightly and touch it with their hands The Gobi, the rassland were all tranquil, like a piece of paradise aloof from the outside world

Chu Feng heard a lot of ru the way

A herds Buddha of the Holy Mountain has awakened and caused the entire sky to fill with blue light to and saturate the air with dense fog

Soun to flower and bear fruits

“A dragon mastiff was born!” Someone else said

In the eyes of the locals, a genuine ers, much different to the ones that have been doon es in the Holy Mountain every several hundred years, with extraordinary resilience and power as well as the ability to vanquish demons

A few days later, Chu Feng neared the Holy Mountain region

He has learned that the faint blue fog had appeared in all the areas he had passed through, mostly in line with the past several paranormal phenomena that occurred in history

At the same time, this also implied that the common people will not know the cause just like they didn’t know the several times before!

More importantly, most people do not knohat these events entail
