Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 648 The end of the world in the millennium?

The day I received the invitation was already near the end of May in the lunar calendar and approaching June, and there was only one month left before July [-], because Xie's family was in Jinzhou, very close to San Francisco, where Hongmen was headquartered. Modern transportation is also developed and convenient, so Hongmen will send invitations more than a month in advance.

100 years ago, invitations would have to be sent at least half a year in advance to have enough preparation time, especially for some cultivation forces on other continents outside of North America, they usually sent invitations to the White Eagle Federation one or two years in advance. After arriving at the place and paying homage to the pier, I will get the post from Hongmen, and I will be eligible to participate in the Red Flower Discussion Conference.

Of course, as long as there are no problems under normal circumstances, these people who come from other places or even foreign countries can obtain the qualifications to participate in the conference. It can be regarded as the most well-known event in the Eastern Taoist practice circle in the past 200 years.

Xie Zihao's office can be closed at any time. In terms of acting, because he has just finished filming the basic scenes of The Lord of the Rings, there is no need for re-shooting at present. In the middle, he took a trip to Hollywood to be in charge of the role of the elf prince he played. Dubbing work, after all, the first Lord of the Rings movie will be released next year in a few months, and the main creative team must first work on the post-production of the first movie.

So after completing the dubbing this time, I also filmed a few more scenes and the content required for the promotional film. Xie Zihao, as one of the leading actors, will not have any filming work for at least half a year, and the next step is to cooperate with the film team Run the publicity.

Therefore, when participating in the Red Flower Discussion Conference held by Hongmen, Xie Zihao did not have other things that would delay his participation in the event.

He is like this, the remaining members of the Xie family lineage, except Wei Dake, the great director of the century, has his own company and industry, and everyone else has a lot of free time.

And Wei Dake, in order to participate in this grand meeting of the oriental practice world, unexpectedly suspended the affairs of the next two months, dealt with them in advance, and announced early that he would go on vacation for two months. Entrust his daughter and his agent to be responsible for the discussion.

Even Liang Rui'an, a university professor, made arrangements with the school early after receiving the invitation from Hongmen, and specially set aside a month for participating in the Honghua Discussion Conference.

Before Xie Zihao turned out to be born, as the only Taoist who could be called a famous figure in the old part of the Kingdom of Heaven in the Jinzhou area, Hongmen would send invitations to Liang Rui'an at this time in previous years.

But Liang Rui'an knew that his talent and strength were limited, so every time he went, it was just for soy sauce, and he exchanged views with some Feng Shui colleagues. As for the red flower lottery competition, he had never participated in it.

But this time, his junior and student Xie Zihao suddenly emerged, and he is already a real Yinshen, surpassing the achievements of their ancestors. At the same time, the Xie family itself represents the position of the leader of the Taiping Army in North America, and is the leader of many old kingdoms here. As an uncle, he will naturally not miss this grand event to reaffirm the prestige of the Taiping Army.

So I specially asked for leave for my daughter Selma from Cordelia Fox, the principal of the Witch Academy, and asked Selma to join Xie Zihao's team to strengthen the momentum of his old department in the kingdom of heaven.

……

Amid the leisure and busyness, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the 23rd of August in the Western calendar and the [-]th of July in the lunar calendar in [-].

Xie Zihao looked up at the glaring sun in the sky, it was just after seven o'clock in the morning, but the weather showed no sign of rising yin qi and declining yang qi as imagined when the Hungry Ghost Festival was approaching.

Today is the end of heat, and this solar term is No. 24 of the 14 solar terms, and it is also the second solar term in autumn.

Although it is the end of summer, according to the laws of solar terms in the East, it has reached the end of the three summers of high-temperature and hot weather, which means that the hot and difficult weather from this day has come to an end. It also began to weaken, and the subtropical high pressure also retreated southward, and the coolness in the morning and evening brought about by the fading heat.

But during this time there will still be hot and unbearable weather, especially at noon.

In the Eastern Pacific Ocean and Golden State on the west coast of North America, the temperature after two wildfires has remained higher than in previous years. Xie Zihao, who is accustomed to surfing the Internet, found that many people are advocating the end of the world on the Internet. Year after year, the weather becomes abnormal year by year, which is the harbinger of the so-called end of the world.

Although most of them are boring netizens who follow the trend, there are also a group of people with ulterior motives who were rhythmic in the early days of the Internet.

For Xie Zihao, the idea of ​​the end of the world is undoubtedly nonsense, because he was born after 2000 in his last life, if there really was an end of the world, he would have nothing to do now.

But he also found from various signs that since the last decade, as the millennium approached, weather changes around the world have indeed become more frequent.

The west coast, especially the Golden State and the relatively dry states of Nevada, Arizona and Texas in the west, as well as the state of New Mexico, which has a vast desert in the south, have become extremely hot in recent years. .

Even Seattle, known as the Emerald City in the north, has seen its rainfall decrease year after year in the past three years, which is obviously abnormal.

It's a pity that Xie Zihao is not good at the way of divination and fortune-telling, and he has no way to calculate the secrets of the sky. The Xie family has some inheritance of the technique of supporting the Luan to raise the ji, and there is also the ancient method of asking the sky by burning incense to worship the sky.

So he told his worries to Professor Isa Aziz who was still obsessed with the experiment of dissecting demons in the world of the mirror.

"Professor, have you heard the saying that the millennium is the end of the world?"

Issa Aziz couldn't help laughing and said:

"Of course, but I don't think it's true, I haven't lived enough! There are still so many studies waiting for me to come up with results..."

Xie Zihao nodded:

"I think so too, but recently the climate around the world has become more and more abnormal. Not to mention, the West Coast has been experiencing high temperatures and droughts for years. Last summer, more than a thousand people died of heat in Phoenix and Las Vegas... "

After hearing all the examples given by Xie Zihao, Professor Aziz was silent for a while, and his expression became more serious.

"The idea of ​​the end of the world in the millennium has actually been circulated in England and Europe. For this reason, some liar sects were born who took the opportunity to deceive people and cheat money. It is said that the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom is also afraid of shoe sects. The organization will take advantage of this time to do things, especially clean it up in advance, and maintain a high degree of monitoring, at least it was the case before I left."

"There are also some professors in our magic academy who believe in the end of the millennium. For this reason, the principal of the contemporary magic academy specially visited the last prophecy master of this century who lived in seclusion on Celtic Island, and concluded that the world will end in the millennium. When the Jubilee comes, there will be a prophecy of a catastrophe that will spread to the world, but not the end of the world."

Xie Zihao was slightly relieved when he heard the words, but he also felt that he couldn't just wait, so before he set off to participate in the Red Flower Symposium, he specially set up an altar to worship the heavens, and asked the heavens in this world for answers.

As a person who is favored by the main world, Tiandao still gives Xie Zihao a lot of face, but the reply given to him by the natural consciousness is a bit vague and difficult to interpret. I only know that there will be a world-wide disaster at the time when the millennium is approaching Come, and not far from yourself.
