Chapter 221 Years at the Bottom of the Valley
Inside the Sichao Palace, the Sichao ruler, his face full of sorrow, addressed his ministers: "In this disaster, many parts of our Sichao have been affected, and the people are suffering terribly."
The most urgent task now is to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible and resettle the disaster victims. What good strategies do you, my esteemed ministers, have?
A minister stepped forward and said with great concern, “Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to gather food, clothing and supplies, and build temporary shelters to relieve the immediate needs of the disaster victims.”
At the same time, efforts were made to organize local residents to carry out self-rescue and repair damaged infrastructure.
The King of Sichao nodded slightly, then turned to the other ministers: "Do you have anything to add?"
At this moment, an elderly minister slowly said, "Your Majesty, this disaster involves four countries. Why not discuss with the rulers of the other three countries and deal with it together?"
Firstly, it allows for the sharing of rescue experience and supplies; secondly, it strengthens cooperation and exchange among the four countries.
Inside the palace of Gu Xuanchao.
The emperor of Gu Xuan Dynasty was also extremely anxious. He said to his ministers, "Now that disaster has struck, our people are suffering terribly. What should we do?"
A military officer stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to the disaster-stricken front line to do my utmost to rescue the people and maintain order in the disaster area."
Gu Xuanchao nodded in approval to the monarch and said, "Very well, you shall lead the army to the rescue."
In addition, envoys were dispatched to the capital to inquire about the disaster situation and discuss joint countermeasures.
In the Qin court.
The King of Qin was equally anxious and said, "The earth is turning over; this is an ominous sign."
"My esteemed ministers, do you have anything to say? How can we revitalize the nation?"
A civil official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the first priority is to stabilize prices and prevent unscrupulous merchants from driving up prices, so that the people can afford to buy daily necessities."
Furthermore, we encourage people to help each other and overcome difficulties together.
After a moment's thought, the King of Qin said, "Do as instructed immediately. At the same time, communicate with the other three states to jointly deal with this disaster; we must not fight alone."
During this difficult time, the monarchs of various countries were all busy with their own affairs.
However, they all realized that only by working together could they help their respective people get through this unprecedented disaster and restore peace to their countries.
No matter how thorny the problem the earth's upheaval brought to the monarchs of various countries.
At the bottom of that little-known abyss, however, lies a completely different scene.
The Abyss of Extreme Depths is a treacherous place, difficult for ordinary people to reach.
The bottom of the valley is like a secluded little world.
At the bottom of the Abyss Valley, on a wide open space, three bamboo houses were built in a staggered manner.
The bamboo houses are simple yet ingenious in construction, and they blend in perfectly with the surrounding natural environment.
Inside one of the bamboo houses, an elderly man who appeared to be asleep was lying on a wooden bed.
His face was thin and refined, and the few strands of ink-black hair with the tuft of silver at his temples revealed the secrets of time.
The bamboo house was tightly surrounded by a large fence.
Inside the fenced-off open space, a large banyan tree rises from the ground, its branches and leaves flourishing, resembling a giant green umbrella.
Under the tree, a graceful young woman was engaged in a fierce battle with an old man.
However, this "battle" was not a clash of swords, but a game of chess where both sides were evenly matched.
The old man picked up a round wooden block and gently placed it on the table in front of the girl opposite him.
Then he announced loudly, "General!"
The young woman raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Old man, I was prepared for this!"
She then picked up a round wooden block and placed it steadily next to the spot where the old man had just placed it.
The old man, with his keen eyes, picked up another piece of wood from the left and placed it on the girl's right, laughing, "Next!"
The girl stared intently at the chessboard on the table, thinking to herself, "This old man's chess skills have reached this level in less than two months. He truly deserves to be called a martial arts master from ancient times."
Given the current state of the game, it seems we'll have to sacrifice the knight and keep the cannon!
After thinking for a while, she sighed helplessly, picked up a piece of wood and continued to defend.
The old man naturally followed the girl's lead and ate her "horse".
Then, smugly, he said, "Hey, Xiao Yundan, are you going to admit defeat in this game or not!"
It turns out that these two people were Lin Yundan and Leng Xiyue.
Since Lin Yundan fell to the bottom of this extreme abyss and met Leng Xiyue.
Over the years, the old man and the young man have relied on each other and have spent six years together without realizing it.
More than a year ago, Yun Dan successfully broke through to the Grandmaster realm.
For more than a year, she has been stuck at the Grandmaster level, unable to break through to the Great Grandmaster (Great Yuan Realm).
The realms of Yun Dan are divided into three levels: the first, second, and third level belong to the acquired realms.
The Innate Realm, Grandmaster Realm, and Great Grandmaster Realm are all considered to be in the Innate Realm.
Further on, there are nine realms: Celestial Realm, Land Immortal, and Shattered Void.
The corresponding martial arts realms in this world are: the Small, Medium, and Large Harmony Realms correspond to her Acquired Realm.
The Lesser, Middle, and Greater Yuan Realms correspond to her innate realm;
The Lesser Vehicle Realm corresponds to the Celestial Realm, the Greater Vehicle Realm corresponds to the Land Immortal, and the Feathered Realm corresponds to the Shattered Void.
Yun Dan is stuck at a bottleneck in his cultivation level.
Two months ago, when she had nothing to do, she tinkered with the chess set from her previous life and taught Leng Xiyue how to play.
At first, Leng Xiyue was more likely to lose than win... naturally, she had never won against Yun Dan.
But the moment he came across chess, he was deeply captivated by the game.
The more he lost, the more he wanted to figure out how to play chess.
Since Leng Xiyue won the first game against Yun Dan more than half a month ago, his confidence has greatly increased.
Now, when he plays chess with Yun Dan, he not only banters with her, but he has also gone from winning one or two games a day to being able to play on equal footing with her.
He was even slightly ahead, which excited him greatly.
Lin Yundan is now approaching the age of youth.
In ancient times, a girl at the age of eighteen was like a flower in full bloom, beautiful and charming, with her talents beginning to emerge, just like the blossoming flowers on the branches in spring.
It possesses both the innocence of a young girl and a subtle hint of maturity.
Initially, it was through their daily discussions.
Yun Dan also learned that Leng Xiyue was tricked into coming here by her sworn brother twenty-three years ago and fell into the bottom of this extreme abyss.
Leng Xiyue has now lived in this valley for twenty-nine years and is fifty-three years old.
Leng Xiyue originally had a wife named Bai Wanqing, who was only two years younger than him.
When he fell into the Abyss of Extremes, his wife was only twenty-two years old; now she is fifty-three.
The couple also have two children.
The eldest son's name is Leng Zhiyan. He was only five years old at the time, and now many years have passed. He must be thirty-six now.
The youngest son, named Leng Zhimo, is only two years old.
He is three years younger than his brother and is thirty-three years old this year.
These were things that Leng Xiyue had mentioned to Yun Dan six years ago.
Finally, there was his good brother, Wan Feilong, who had tricked him into coming to the Abyss of Extremes.
Although Leng Xiyue once said that she had let go of the past.
However, Yun Dan could still sense that if one day they were able to leave the valley...
