Chapter 148: Fate

Da Liang, the year 642, April 12.

Outside Qingshan County, at the base of the little eastern mountain, beside the Bailang River.

Chen Mu could hardly recognize the appearance of the little eastern mountain anymore.

Looking from afar, the western side of the mountain had collapsed, forming a cliff mid-way up the mountain. Chen Mu remembered, that was where the Qingfeng Observatory had built its sacrificial altar in the past.

"Could the earthquake really be related to the Qingfeng Observatory?"

"And what about the great fire?"

Two years prior, a major disaster struck on the day Chen Mu left.

According to the relocated refugees, an earthquake struck outside the city while a great fire raged within, leading to heavy casualties.

The reigning county magistrate and the city's defending soldiers all perished, and malicious spirit incidents broke out from time to time.
