Chapter: 5803

As they stood there, Ye Cheng felt even more puzzled.

He couldn't help but say to Lin Wen'er, "Miss Lin, this climate should belong to the tropics. The four seasons are supposed to be very comfortable here, and since we're at a higher elevation in these mountains, the temperature will also be relatively lower. So this is a climate where plants can grow like spring all year round."

He continued, "If I'm not mistaken, one-half of China's fresh flowers come from Yunnan Province. From this, it can be seen that even in Yunnan Province, any piece of land cannot possibly fail to produce flowers and grass. So how is it that the piece of land where Pu Cha's mother used to grow up has nothing growing?"

Lin Wen'er shook her head, puzzled: "I won't conceal it from you, sir. I also find it very strange. In the past, this place was teeming with life. The soil around the pond had no color at all in any season, and every spot that could grow plants was covered with various plant species. Pu Cha's mother used to cultivate the land here, and the vegetation was even more vigorous than usual. I never thought it would be like this today - not a single blade of grass."

Ye Cheng sighed: "Maybe they exhausted all the nutrients in the soil back then?"

Lin Wen'er shook her head: "Even if they did exhaust them back then, it's already been over 300 years. Even poor soil can recover now. It's impossible for there to be not a single blade of grass."

As they were speaking, the sky suddenly darkened.

The two people had originally been using the moonlight and starlight to survey the yellow land at their feet, but in the blink of an eye, they felt everything around them was changing rapidly.

Both of them looked up at the sky without coordination, only to see a dark cloud gathering speedily above the pond, already covering half the sky.

Ye Cheng could see with his naked eye that the speed at which the clouds were gathering was far beyond what was normal in nature and seemed more like something he had induced himself to summon thunderstorms before.

Ye Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but say: "How does it feel like someone is casting a spell?"

Upon hearing Ye Cheng's words, Lin Wen'er immediately furrowed her brow, fixedly gazing at the increasingly thick and large dark clouds in the sky, rapidly calculating with her ten fingers, muttering to herself: "It doesn't seem like someone is casting a spell... it seems more like..."

Ye Cheng saw Lin Wen'er's expression was shocked and her speech was rare and tight. He hastily asked her: "Miss Lin, what does this seem like?!"

Lin Wen'er didn't speak, fixedly staring at the rapidly gathering dark clouds in the sky, muttering to herself: "This... this seemingly chaotic cloud formation actually has a hidden complex rule... it feels like an image from the I Ching's Sixty-Four Hexagrams... the 'Shock' hexagram..."

"What shock hexagram?!" Ye Cheng's heart was shocked, and he exclaimed: "Is this really a hexagram in the clouds?"

Lin Wen'er nodded slightly, muttering to herself: "The 'Shock' hexagram is always complex. Ancient people said that when 'shock' comes, it will be sudden and abrupt; when the shock subsides, it will bring forth a new situation. This hexagram is one of conflict between two forces, implying that something unexpected will happen and it will be a major event that shakes heaven and earth."

Ye Cheng was even more astonished, unable to help asking: "Who has such abilities to use clouds in the sky to divine?!"

Lin Wen'er looked puzzled: "I don't know... but... but this hexagram is just starting to appear, which means it's from the moment we arrived here. I think this shouldn't be human-made."

"Not human-made...?" Ye Cheng asked her: "Could it be natural formation?"

Lin Wen'er shook her head: "I haven't yet comprehended the mystery within..."

Just as they were speaking, the clouds in the sky continued to rapidly change, and a thick cloud layer suddenly burst forth from itself, pouring out non-stop and rapidly covering the entire valley.

"Lin Wen'er's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the sky, whispering to herself: 'The omens are changing too fast... I... I don't understand... What do you want to tell me, can you show me again?'"

"The clouds in the sky didn't understand her murmurs, just continuing to change rapidly."

"Lin Wen'er was already getting anxious, anxiously saying: 'There are too many changes in the omens, each one needs a long time to comprehend, such rapid changes... blink and it's another omen, I... I really can't understand...'"

"Ye Cheng heard this and quickly took out her phone to open the video recording app, saying: 'Miss Lin, don't worry, I'll record all these changes, if not, we can go back later and study them slowly.'" JrNovels.com
