Chapter 619: The Legend of the Divine Bead

Sun Hui and Xiao Tiantian flew back to Lin'an on the same day, and after returning to the "Yuexian Pavilion" in Zhufu, Sun Hui was still a little uneasy, afraid that Ye Chuchu would say him, but Ye Chuchu did not blame him and Xiao Tiantian again, but asked them about their experience in the deep cave again, especially asked in detail what the metal spaceship in the shape of a large conch looked like, Sun Hui explained to her in detail, and found a pen and paper to draw a simple three-view for her. Seeing the drawings drawn by Sun Hui, Ye Chuchu frowned.

"What a coincidence, isn't it...... Impossible......" she whispered to herself.

"Sister Chu Chu, what did you find?" Xiao Tiantian was anxious and immediately asked.

"Like what you found, it should be a spaceship." Ye Chuchu replied.

"What?" Sun Hui and Xiao Tiantian were both taken aback.

"It was Sister Chu Chu who first found the information from historical documents, and then we took the opportunity to find mines and greenery to investigate, and sure enough, we found it, and the spaceship did not fly away, it was still there." Wang Linlin said with a smile.

Ye Chuchu told the two of them about the discovery.

Ye Chuchu found that during the Jiayou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a huge "pearl" in Yangzhou Prefecture. The bead first appeared in the waters of Tianchang County, then moved northeastward, turned into Yongshe Lake, and then turned into Xinkai Lake. This is no ordinary bead. It is of unknown origin and extremely mysterious. Over the next 10 years or so, it appeared and disappeared, but never disappeared. Locals and outsiders passing by may accidentally catch a glimpse of this artifact if they are lucky.

When this giant pearl appears, it often floats quietly on the water, like a boat, but its shape is fundamentally different from the shape of the boat. It's like a familiar mussel, big, big. When it opens its "mouth", there will be a bright light inside, and as the mouth opens wider and wider, the light will gradually increase, and finally, when the mouth opens to the size of half a mat, this light will condense into an extremely strong light only the size of a fist, and the human eye cannot look at it at all. At this time, the nearby forests within ten miles will be shrouded in its light. At the edge of the light, a patch of red will appear, and from a distance it looks like an uncontrolled wildfire burning.

This giant pearl is alive, it can fly. Migrating from one body of water to another far away is a breeze and effortless for it.

At that time, there were two people who recorded the situation of this "bead", and Ye Chuchu found out. One is Shao Bowen, and the other is Shen Kuo, a famous person in Chinese history. According to Shao Bowen's records, Sun Jue, Wang Anshi's early friend, Zhongjinshi, lived in Gaoyou and often lectured at a suburban villa. At dawn one day, he suddenly noticed a light coming in through the window, and thought it was strange, so he and his friends who lived in the same house followed the light. After walking for about 20 miles, I saw a huge "bead" floating on the surface of a lake. The bright light that emanates from the beads illuminates the distance and near as daylight. The light that poured into their chambers was undoubtedly the gift of this bead. A person named Cui Boyi, who should be Sun Jue's companion, later wrote a special article for this matter, "Feeling the Pearl Fu", which said in the preface: "There is a lake in the northwest of Gaoyou, and the famous Yongshe is there. In the near years, I saw the big pearl at night, and its light belonged to the sky. Taste the fishermen. Words may meet in other lakes. Those who plot to steal will lead the boat away in the wind, and they will never be able to reach it. Sun Jue Jinshi and the second, as the official Henan chief bookkeeper, often told people about this strange thing.

As for Shen Kuo, his records are much more detailed than Shao Bowen's. He said the bead had been around for more than 10 years and is now gone. Fan Liang Town is the only place to pass through the big pearl, the boat people come here, often maintain the ship mooring, deliberately stay in it for a few days and nights, hoping to see the true face of the Lushan Mountain of this sacred pearl. There was an anonymous pavilion in that place, which has long become the foothold of the water visitors waiting for the pearls, so it is nicknamed the "Pearl Pavilion". This passage of Shen Kuo can be found in the 21st volume of "Dream Creek Writings".

As a modern person, Ye Chuchu knows that under normal circumstances, pearl mussels and the like will not float on the water, and when their "mouths" are opened, they will never be as big as half a mat. In the dark, pearl-like things may reflect the moonlight, but it is impossible to emit a strong light, especially never emitting an extremely strong light that can illuminate a radius of one or twenty miles. In addition, mussels may not move as fast as snails on land. Ordinary as a mussel, it is inevitable for people to eat, how can they cultivate a great power of thousands of miles in an instant? The question is puzzling. In addition, there is another difference between this bead, that is, its appearance and disappearance are repeated, which is by no means different from the instantaneous phenomenon that once it appears, never looks back, and cannot be verified at all. Judging from the shape, speed and ability of this mussel to emit strong light, it is quite similar to the UFO, a kind of unidentified flying object that has been plaguing the human mind since the 40s of the 20th century.

Of course, Ye Chuchu can't be sure that this Yangzhou big pearl is a flying saucer, but he doesn't quite believe in the saying that "pearls and mussels become essences". Even if there is a so-called "refinement over time", such as the legendary green snake and white snake suppressed by Leifeng Pagoda, I believe that it may not be possible to "become a refinement" to such a magical point.

What caught Ye Chuchu's attention was that there was also a similar record in the "Yueyang Fengtu Ji" written by Fan Zhiming in the Northern Song Dynasty. The author said that once upon a time, there was a giant mussel the size of half a mat in Dongting Lake, and this mussel often took a "sideways" posture in the middle of the night, "riding the wind to and fro between the smoke and waves, spitting huge beads in the middle, and shooting with the moon." The fishermen thought it was a real mussel and tried every possible way to find it, but they never got their wish, and then disappeared from the world. Fan's record is the same as that of Shao and Shen, which makes Ye Chuchu wonder if this divine mussel will be the Yangzhou Dazhu they mentioned in the text. Although Dongting and Yangzhou are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, this long distance is by no means a problem for the gods who can "ride the wind". After the twenty-four bridges, go up to Yueyang Tower to have a good time, for it, it is just a fleeting matter.

Whenever this kind of thing happens, the reaction of people with scientific concepts is probably to shake their heads and not believe it. Unfortunately, shaking the head does not always solve the problem, nor does it always prove that the head shaker is "science" from head to toe. As Chinese of the Song Dynasty, this Shao, Fan, and Shen are all qualified to be called "honest people". Shao Bowen was the son of the physicist Shao Yong, who has traditionally been difficult to talk about. Fan Zhiming once demoted the official Yuezhou, if he didn't witness it, he learned about it from the local fathers. As for Shen Kuo, he is a scientific talent who has already been evaluated, and it is not his nature to talk exaggeratedly. Therefore, this strange incident they recorded cannot be easily denied.
