The day I received the invitation was already the end of May in the lunar calendar and close to June, and there was only a little more than a month left before July 14th, because the Xie family was in Jinzhou, very close to San Francisco, where Hongmen was the helmsman.

Modern transportation is also developed and convenient, so Hongmen sends invitations more than a month in advance.

A hundred years ago, invitations had to be sent at least half a year in advance to have enough preparation time. Especially some cultivating forces from other continents outside North America usually went to the White Eagle Federation one or two years in advance.

Come here, and after arriving at the place and worshiping the dock, you will get the post from Hongmen, and you will be qualified to participate in the Red Flower Forum.

Of course, under normal circumstances, as long as there are no problems, these people from other places or even foreign countries can be qualified to participate in the conference. Even if they cannot get the red flower lottery, they can still communicate with their colleagues and exchange ideas. Therefore, this discussion conference

It can be regarded as the most famous event in the Eastern Taoist practice world in the past two hundred years.

Tse Zihao's office can close down at any time. In terms of acting, as he has just completed the filming of the basic scenes of The Lord of the Rings, there is currently no need for reshoots. In the meantime, he took the time to go to Hollywood to be responsible for the character he plays, the Elf Prince.

As for the dubbing work, after all, the first Lord of the Rings movie is still a few months away from being released next year, so the creative team has to work on the post-production of the first movie.

So after completing the dubbing this time, I also re-shot a few scenes and the content required for the promotional video. For at least half a year, Xie Zihao, one of the leading actors, will not have any filming work. The next step is to cooperate with the film team

Running for publicity.

Therefore, when attending the Hongmen Forum on Taoism, Xie Zihao had no other commitments that would delay his participation in the event.

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

In order to participate in this grand gathering of the Eastern spiritual world, Wei Dake actually suspended the affairs for the next two months, dealt with them in advance, and announced early that he would go on vacation for two months. If there were any emergencies, he would be

He entrusted the discussion to his daughter and his agent.

Even Liang Ruian, a university professor, made arrangements with the school early after receiving the invitation from Hongmen, and specially set aside a month to attend the Red Flower Forum.

Before Xie Zihao was born, as the only Taoist man who could be called a prominent figure in the old Kingdom of Heaven in the Jinzhou area, Hongmen would always send invitations to Liang Ruian at this time in previous years.

But Liang Rui'an knew that his talent and strength were limited, so every time he went there he was just trying to make fun of himself, chatting 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 became the real Yinshen, surpassing the achievements of their ancestors. At the same time, the Xie family itself represented the position of the leader of the North American Taiping Army, and was the leader of many old tribes of the Kingdom of Heaven here. He,

Naturally, the uncle would not miss this grand event that would reaffirm the prestige of the Taiping Army.

Therefore, he specially asked for leave from Cordelia Fox, the principal of Witch College, for his daughter Thelma, so that Thelma could join Xie Zihao's team and build up the momentum of his old Heavenly Ministry.

…

In the midst of leisure and busyness, time flies by so fast, and in a blink of an eye it is already August 23rd of 1999 and July 13th of the Gregorian calendar.

Xie Zihao raised his head and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky. It was just after seven in the morning, but the weather showed no sign of the rising Yin Qi and declining Yang Qi as imagined when the Ghost Festival is approaching.

Today is the end of summer. This solar term is the fourteenth of the twenty-four solar terms and the second solar term of autumn.

Although it is the end of the summer heat, according to the solar terms in the East, it has reached the last of the three hot weather days, which means that the hot and unbearable weather starting from this day has come to an end. After the end of the heat, the direct point of the sun will continue to move southward, and the solar radiation

It has also begun to weaken, and the subtropical high pressure has also retreated southward. The fading heat has brought coolness in the morning and evening.

However, the hot and muggy weather will still continue during this period, especially at noon.

In the Eastern Pacific, Golden State on the west coast of North America has just experienced two wildfires and the temperature is still 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.

The weather becomes abnormal year by year, which is a precursor to the so-called doomsday.

Although most of them are boring netizens who follow the trend, there are also a group of people with ulterior motives who set the pace 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 two thousand years later in his previous life. If there really was an end of the world, he would have nothing to do now.

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

The West Coast, especially the Golden State and relatively arid states such as Nevada, Arizona and Texas in the west, as well as New Mexico, a state with vast deserts in the south, have experienced extremely hot weather in recent years.

.

Even in Chiato, known as the Emerald City in the north, rainfall has decreased in the past three years. This is obviously an abnormal situation.

It's a pity that Xie Zihao is not good at divination and can't calculate the secrets of heaven. The Xie family has some inheritance of the art of supporting Luan Qiji, and there is also the ancient shaman method of burning incense and worshiping the sky.

So he told his worries to Professor Issa Aziz, who was still obsessed with experiments on demons in the world of Through the Looking Glass.

"Professor, have you ever heard of the idea that the end of the world will be the end of the millennium?"

Isa Aziz couldn't help but smile when he heard this:

"Of course, but I don't think this is true. I haven't lived enough yet! There are still so many studies waiting for me to make 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 from heat in Phoenix and Las Vegas...

"

After listening to the various examples given by Xie Zihao, Professor Aziz was silent for a moment, and his expression became more solemn.

"The theory of the end of the world in the millennium has actually been spread in England and Europe. For this reason, some swindler sects have been born that take advantage of the opportunity to deceive people and defraud money. The Ministry of Magic in the United Kingdom is also said to be afraid of the shoe sect.

The organization will take advantage of this time to cause trouble, so it cleaned it up in advance and maintained a high level of monitoring, at least that was the situation before I left."

"There are also some professors in our magic school who are convinced of the theory of the end of the millennium. For this reason, the principal of the contemporary magic school visited the last master of prophecy of this century who lived in seclusion on Celtic Island and concluded that the end of the world will happen in the millennium.

When the Year of Jubilee comes, there will be predictions of a disaster that will affect the world, but there will be no prediction of the end of the world.”

Xie Zihao was slightly relieved when he heard this, but he also felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so before setting off to attend the Red Flower Forum, he made a special sacrifice to heaven and asked the heaven in this world for the answer.

As a person favored by the main world, Heaven 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. He only knows that there will be a world-wide disaster at the time when the millennium is approaching.
