211. Prophecy of decay

All afternoon, the people of the feudal country spent it in fear.

It wasn't until the second sun dissipated and darkness covered the land that public opinion really began.

What can be seen and touched is actually not afraid, and the most terrifying thing is those ghosts and gods that cannot be seen or touched.

The human brain spun rapidly after the darkness came, and everything that happened this afternoon, coupled with the eerie atmosphere of the night, countless conjectures came to people's minds.

The most frightening thing is that those conjectures can be said by the head of the Tao, and there are all kinds of analyses, the speaker is terrified, and the listener trembles.

Just when a group of people gathered in the big courtyard to guess what happened today and what impact it would have, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Come out quickly, there is another appearance!" ”

The chickens and dogs barked one after another, and the people sitting in the yard immediately ran out, although they were mentally prepared this time, when they saw the real scene, they were still startled.

They found out that there were two moons in the sky!

Looking at the moonlight, which was not too dazzling, I found that one was normal, and the other was also glowing but relatively small. It was no different from this afternoon, except that one was two suns and one was two moons.

But for thousands of years, people have heard the legend of only having multiple suns, where have they heard of two moons?

At this moment, people's hearts are more panicked than when they saw two suns today.

I saw that next to the original moon in the northern sky, there was a golden light cluster the size of a basin, and a brighter spoon was rotating in the middle, and the more it turned, the larger the light cluster, and gradually diffused into a big moon.

At the beginning, a six- or seven-year-old girl named "No-Dian", who had been playing outside the yard at the beginning, was excitedly telling people about what had just happened - at first it was a bright spot like three stars, and then the three bright spots began to circle around, and the basin was so big that it was spinning!

As he spoke, the people in the compound heard the news, and the open space in the central square was crowded with people, hundreds of people.

"What nonsense are you kidding! It's so late and still playing outside! Don't hurry home yet! ”

The little girl who had just spoken was covered by her mother's kiss and carried home.

When the people who were close heard it, the little girl's mother muttered as she walked: Amitabha Buddha Amitabha Buddha children are not sensible, you adults have a lot of care, don't care about the blessings of the gods like children......

A gust of wind blew, and the hair of the people only trembled.

The thick cotton coat is like being soaked in cold water, and it is not used at all.

"It's so cold......"

"How can it be so cold?"

"Is it really going to be a big mess in the world...... It's so cold......"

People clasped their arms and muttered quietly.

One more sun is hot, one more moon is cold, and the people of the country have experienced two heavens of ice and fire in one day, and everyone's hearts are hairy.

Finally, someone couldn't help it and asked loudly, "What the hell is going on!" This still doesn't let people live! ”

With a beginning, the sound behind is much louder.

"yes, what the hell is going on!"

When the shouting was about to begin, an old man shouted. He had been crouching in a dark corner away from the Imperial City Square, and no one noticed him.

"Don't worry, let's listen to what the old man says!"

The old man shouted at the crowd with a loud voice.

The sound seemed to exhaust all the strength in his chest, and those who approached him were shocked to the point that their ears were tingling.

The people were in shock, and their voices were not loud, but they were woken up by the hoarse cry of the old man, and they all turned their heads to look for the source of the sound.

It was an old man over seventy years old, with a white towel wrapped around his head, a tattered hat on his head, and his hair exposed to the brim of the hat was already gray, and his face was covered with fishnet lines. As he spoke, his chin and cheeks cocked high, as he had few teeth left in his mouth, his lips deflated deeply. His weather-beaten face was covered with deep wrinkles, his two small eyes were a little muddy, his hands were a little muddy with the small eyes of a small thin fan, his hands were as big as a small thin fan, each finger was so thick that it seemed that it couldn't be bent, and the skin was wrinkled, a bit like tree bark.

The thin man wore an old sheepskin jacket on his frame, a cigarette pin to his waist, and a gray and black gown on his shoulder. The whole back, black and shiny, sparkled as if coated with a layer of oil. The trouser legs below rolled up to the knees, and the hairy calves were covered with countless tendon sores of all sizes, connected by high bulging blood vessels.

Judging from the dress, although he is not well dressed, it can be seen that he is a well-taken old man, and his hair is combed very carefully, without a trace of messiness. In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes quietly tell the vicissitudes of time.

"What do you think?" A man close to the old man asked.

The old man didn't pay attention to him, but shouted in front of him: "Let me go, I'll go to the front and say!" Hear it there! ”

In fact, everyone can clearly hear what he says, and only he can't hear clearly, he is old and can understand.

People saw that he was old and maybe he really knew something, and took the initiative to find a way.

The old man walked to the center of the square step by step, leaning on a peachwood cane.

Although he is already old, he still walks vigorously. Although his eyes were cloudy, he could still find the exact location of his foothold. Although he was already in shape, when he saw that people were making way for him, a smile like a chrysanthemum petal bloomed from his wrinkled face. In the eyes that were once deeply buried by the vicissitudes of time, there seemed to be a glimmer of brilliance, and the brilliance flowed, as if returning to an innocent childhood.

The old man walked to the center of the square, coughed twice and cleared his throat, and told everything he knew: "Don't be afraid, I have seen this scene before, it was sixty years ago, most of you were not born, and I was still a teenager, but the scenery at that time was very rare, and I remembered it for sixty years!" ”

A young man next to him asked, "Is it really exactly the same?" But there is no record in the history books that such a thing has ever happened! ”

The old man raised his cane and beckoned to the young man, as if a grandfather was beating his own grandson.

"Adults talk, children don't interject!"

The young man hurriedly hugged his head and shouted: "Yes, yes, grandpa, I was wrong, I was wrong, you said it." ”

The old man was very uncomfortable when he was interrupted, and it took a few seconds to think about what he wanted to say: "Where did I just go?" Speaking of ......"

"Grandpa, you said you had seen such a landscape once."

Looking down, a pretty little girl stood at the feet of the old man, looking at the old man with a pair of curious eyes.

After seeing the little girl, under the white hair, the two eyebrows were bent, and the corners of the mouth were hooked, and the face was like a Maitreya Buddha. The old man grinned at the corners of his mouth and nodded: "That's right, the little girl is really smart, yes, even once upon a time, there was such a spectacle, two moons appeared in the same sky at the same time." At that time, people called it - Nine Stars Alignment. ”

After speaking, the old man stroked his pale beard with his dry hands. It felt like it had happened yesterday. With a stroke of his beard, his thoughts followed his footsteps, and slowly walked into the boy who never seemed to have died.

"Grandpa, what is the Nine Stars Alignment?" The little girl asked innocently with wide eyes.

The old man touched the little girl's head and said with a smile, "When the nine planets move to one side of the sun or moon at the same time, and converge into a fan-shaped region with an angle of less than 100 degrees, we can approximate them to the same straight line, so this phenomenon is called the nine-star alignment." The so-called nine-star alignment actually refers to the situation where the nine planets line up in a line. The nine planets are known to revolve around the Sun in different orbits. Because each planet has a different orbit, their speed and period are also different. Therefore, the chance of these nine planets forming a line is actually very low. ”

When these words came down, all the people were blinded.

What and what is this? What is 100 degrees, what are the nine planets, what are the orbits and cycles?!

"You're kidding, right? What are these things? Don't be afraid of being scared, right? The young man asked.

This time, instead of raising his cane to knock him on the head, the old man shook his head and sighed. "You don't know anything, you don't know anything...... Alas...... What does the alignment of the nine stars portend? The alignment of the nine stars is the phenomenon that the sun, the earth, and the planets may be connected in a straight line at the end of the world, and the sun's line in the sky will pass through the center of the galaxy, so that the earth will be under the traction of a more powerful unknown cosmic force, accelerating the destruction of the earth! Hahahahahaha ”

The sound of hoarse laughter spread from the center of the square to the surrounding areas, and those who listened were even more frightened.

It was at this time that the sky changed. As this afternoon, the "moon" slowly grew to the size of the original moon, then faded to the size of half the sky, and finally disappeared.

People spent every minute and second in horror in the center of this strange sight and strange laughter.

At this moment, a slightly rough female voice came: "Dad, why are you here, why don't you come home with me soon!" ”

A middle-aged woman hurried to the center of the square, her temples wet with sweat on her face, looking tired, but the ravine carved on her face by the wind and frost of the years could not hide her former beauty. Her dress was very modest, but she looked beautiful overall. The skirt with white flowers on a blue background has been washed a little white, but it is very neat, the pants are also that outdated style, the cloth shoes on the feet are very attractive, they are handmade mille-feuille soles, and the shoe size is embroidered with monochrome orchids, elegant and chic, as if such a person from the deep mountains does not get touched by the smoke and dust of the world.

The woman was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and had a straight nose on her duck face. There is a straight nose in the corner of the eye. There are a few faintly visible crow's feet crawling on the corners of her eyes, but the eyes also reveal a delicate look, and the hard work of the long years has left a shallow fishtail mark on the corners of her eyes. A pair of eyebrows that are raised in anxiety are very thick, and there is a mole on the top of the right eyebrow. Although her eyes are single eyelids, they are delicate and bright. The lips that are often pursed forcefully under the high bridge of the nose show the vitality of green and scattered.

From the residual charm now, it can be seen that this woman must be a big beauty when she was shrewd and beautiful when she was young. But the weight of life caused her to lose her former grace prematurely, and her rough and sallow skin and silver hair made people think that she was much older than her actual age.
