Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 346 Clearing the Northern Sandstorm, Heading Straight to the Enemy's Capital

"It's done!"

Gu Zhao tossed the porcelain bottle in his hand. Although there was a lot of sand and dust, it only filled a small corner of the bottle.

Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi both looked at him... and the porcelain bottle in his hand.

"The Jade Bottle?" Xiao Ya asked, stunned.

"A storage magic treasure?" Jiang Shishi's eyes lit up.

Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "How was it? Was the magic trick good?"

"This isn't just magic, it's practically divine art!" Jiang Shishi's eyes were full of admiration, giving it a lot of emotional value.

Xiao Ya nodded repeatedly. Although the view to the north was still hazy and yellowish, "at least we don't have to worry about a sandstorm tomorrow, New Year's Eve."

“Not only.” Gu Zhao shook his head.

"More than that?" Xiao Ya asked curiously.

"You guys go home first, I'll go take care of something." Gu Zhao also looked north. "But how can we have an easy New Year's Eve? We should at least have a proper Spring Festival holiday!"

After speaking, Gu Zhao put away the porcelain bottle, then sent Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi to their respective residential areas, before taking off again and heading straight to the northwest.

He lives in Guangzhou and has never experienced a sandstorm, but he has seen related photos and news. Just thinking about it makes him realize how torturous such an environment is. Now that he has encountered it, he will deal with it.

Even if we can't solve the problem once and for all, we should at least send the perpetrators of this sandstorm back to where they started!
Next, Gu Zhao traveled from east to west and from south to north, passing through Tianjin Port, Hebei Province, Shanxi Province, Shaanxi Province, Qinghai Province, and Inner Mongolia, using his wind magic to collect all the sand and dust that blew in into the porcelain bottle.

In the sky over the northern lands, which stretched for thousands of miles, it seemed as if a divine dragon was passing through, sweeping up all the sand and dust in its path, forming a whirlwind of sand and dust from bottom to top, which was then sucked into the dragon's mouth.

The yellow sand swept away everything in its path. All the cities and villages shrouded in the sandstorm, and all the people living in the sandstorm, felt that the sandstorm in the sky suddenly became thicker for a moment, and then suddenly became clear again.

When they came to their senses and looked up at the sky again, they found that the sandstorm that had just filled the sky seemed to have disappeared suddenly, with only the distant horizon still filled with rolling sand, but it seemed to be clearing up quickly.

"what's the situation?"

"What happened to the sandstorm just now?"

"It blew past?"

"This is too fast!"

People standing on the street didn't notice anything amiss. They just felt that the wind was blowing away the sand and dust, and assumed that a sandstorm had passed through the area and blown the sand and dust away.

People standing on slightly higher ground can see a clear sky on one side and a sandstorm rapidly receding on the other.

Because Gu Zhao was at a very high altitude and moving at a very fast speed, and the sandstorm was so intense that people could only see the sandstorm dissipate, but they did not realize that he had been swallowed by an invisible giant mouth.

Only higher-altitude satellites can see the true scene. At this moment, the northern part of Tianxia is like a dirty floor, with an invisible giant vacuum cleaner moving back and forth on the floor, sucking away all the sand and dirt that it passes by.

Gu Zhao flew faster and faster, inhaling more and more. Although he didn't aim to miss a single bit, after several round trips in the northern region, he managed to collect all the sand and dust carried by the wind belt formed by the recent high-pressure cyclone.

If you look at the weather map, in just a few hours, the sky in northern Tianxia has become clear and bright, and the stains on this floor have been cleaned up by the vacuum cleaner!
Meanwhile, due to the unusual weather in Yandu, the staff of the Taoist Academy gathered for a meeting, connected to the meteorological headquarters' system, displayed satellite meteorological cloud images, and began exchanging information with meteorological bureaus in various regions.

As the large screen kept switching between satellite cloud images that had appeared in the past few days and clear skies over northern cities, everyone in the office fell silent.

Chen Yao clicked his tongue, "Was it Master Qingyuan who made the move?" The person who remained at the Taoist Research Institute at this moment was indeed Master Qingyuan. He was the one who handled the passenger plane malfunction incident a few days ago.

"It's not Master Qingyuan," the host said, shaking his head. "We just received information that Xiao Ya and Jiang Shishi have arrived in Yandu, but there is no information that they took the high-speed rail or a plane."

"It's Gu Zhao!"

Everyone immediately realized that Gu Zhao must have flown over with the two women, only to encounter a sandstorm. So, after sending the two women home, they began cleaning.

"Where did he take all that sand and dust? Did he send it all to another world?" someone asked, puzzled. "He can open a passage between the two worlds at any time, and it's not just about physical travel?"

"It shouldn't be." Someone shook their head. "Don't forget the storage gourd that Master Yihong once showed off. Gu Zhao also carries it with him. It's probably stored inside a magic treasure."

Someone blinked. "Won't that get the other things inside the gourd covered in dust?"

A group of people looked at him, and he immediately realized, "The Taoist priests can accurately take things out of the gourd, so they can naturally control the position of various things inside the gourd."

Zheng Hongsheng shook his head and looked at the big screen. "Wow, they cleaned up really fast!"

Looking at the photos of clear blue skies over major cities and the bright, clear weather satellite cloud imagery, Chen Yao, who was sitting next to him, clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "It's only been a few hours, right?"

"In less than two hours, it has traveled back and forth three times from east to west, and its position has already advanced to the border," the host said. "The dust storm in the north has been completely cleared up."

Everyone, "..."

"We can finally have a good New Year," someone joked.

"It's just that they took the initiative themselves; we're too embarrassed to bother them," someone chuckled.

Then the host received the latest news: "He crossed the border and continued north."

Everyone was startled and continued to look at the satellite cloud image on the big screen, where they indeed saw the dust storm boundary line continuing to move northward.

"Actually, the sandstorms from the north of this high-pressure cyclone don't reach here."

"Gu Zhao studied computer technology as an undergraduate; you can't expect him to also understand meteorology."

"It's good to clean up more dust. If we can clean up the dust in the northern Inner Mongolia region, things will be easier for us from March to May."

An elderly man wearing glasses chuckled, "It's just that Mr. Gu happened to be in this situation. We can't possibly bother them with something just because of this sandstorm."

Everyone burst into laughter, but then gradually stopped laughing.

According to the meteorological satellite cloud image, after Gu Zhao cleared some sand and dust in the area of ​​Northern Mongolia near Tianxia, ​​he transformed into a sharp arrow and flew towards the capital of Northern Mongolia while clearing away the sand and dust.

He stopped clearing the dust after flying only a short distance, and naturally, he disappeared from the satellite's radar.

Chen Yao asked in alarm, "Where is he going?"

Zheng Hongsheng then looked at the host and asked, "How long is the delay in this weather map?"

The host immediately replied, "Ten minutes!"
