Chapter 102 The fog is lost, and the moon crosses the maze
Outside the exquisite window, there is the primordial moon, which feels a little lonely at the moment, and those lingering clouds and mist are like the sorrow that the moon can't leave.
One of my dreams gradually became clear, and that night I fell asleep looking at the moon like this, but I walked out in the dream.
I couldn't tell if I was asleep or not, but I got up as I had that night, pushed the door open, and walked out in the tracks of my memory.
It's also silent, I'm quiet alone, I don't feel scared, it's more like a kind of physical inertia.
I walked in the opposite direction to the main entrance of the small temple, and the twists and turns seemed to lead me to something.
The back door of the small temple opened with a gentle push, as if everyone could enter and exit freely.
The light in the hallway behind the door blurred the path in front of me, and I didn't hesitate, just disappeared in the darkness.
It was solid stone floor, then dirt, then a lot of weeds, and then a ground full of sand and rocks.
When I stopped, there was already a cliff in front of me, and when I looked back, the huge building of the small temple was flickering with countless lights, and it was a magnificent wall of light, like a beautiful and expensive painting.
I looked down at the cliffs, the endless darkness surging with the cold wind, floating on the hem of my skirt, and in the darkness began to rise fine pieces of blue powder, like a vast cosmic nebula swirling towards me, condensing into an almost transparent cloud.
The cloud seemed to be about to flutter out, and in an instant Wangcai came out of nowhere and hugged my legs.
Barely felt clouds and fluffy wealth haunted me.
The blue phantom cloud left the edge of the cliff, but instead of rising in the direction of the moon as it had done last time, it began to slowly sink into the abyss.
Descending smoothly, the phantom cloud can only illuminate a small area, and the light and shadow that move in a narrow direction constitute the general space of the elevator.
I just kept going down, and time and space seemed to make no sense anymore.
I don't know how long it took, but I stood there for a long time.
Ding~ A crisp sound, as if the elevator arrived, and I hallucinated as if I also heard the sound of friction between parts when the elevator door opened, and I subconsciously stepped forward, as if I was stepping out of the elevator.
There was a flickering light source in front of me, I subconsciously lowered my head to dodge, I squinted slightly, there seemed to be many small light bulbs hanging there, but after looking closely, it didn't seem to be.
I grew accustomed to the flickering lights, and not far away there was a billboard-like thing, on top of which was a net with bells of different colors and materials, swaying alternately reflecting the lantern lights hanging from the trees.
The wind floated the tassels of the lantern and the bells, and the tassels were scattered, but the bells made no sound.
It was strange to me that the rumors were so clear.
Between the swaying tassels, the light and shadow blurred area, the antlers gradually revealed, I stared straight into the eyes, a strong deer completely walked out, the antlers were huge and stretched, as if to hold up the whole world.
The deer had a bell around its neck, and the bell was tied to a dark red leather strap, which looked very textured.
The deer came out with its hooves, and I watched the bell sway, but there was not a sound.
I kept my eyes fixed on the flickering bell.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, and suddenly the sound of bells rang, and I was startled, and then a man in a scottish skirt appeared before me, and he suddenly appeared from the blur of light and shadow, shaking a hand bell, and the jingling bell came from the bell in his hand.
When the deer with its huge antlers heard the bell, it stood still for a while, then turned its head and disappeared into the jungle.
The man's style is very mixed, his hairstyle is similar to the one I've seen here, but he wears a very old cargo jacket and cargo pants, but he wears a bright plaid pattern Scottish skirt, which is just how he likes it.
"Which bell do you like?" His voice was a little ungraceful.
"Why don't these bells have a sound?" I immediately voiced my biggest doubts.
"If you don't shake it, of course it won't ring." He replied as a matter of course, and shook the bell in his hand as he spoke, and the sound of the deer's footsteps and the ringing of the bell seemed to sound in the dim forest, which I instinctively thought was the sound of the wind chimes tied to the red ribbon on the deer's body.
"See, shake it like this." He seemed to be explaining, but it made me even more confused.
"But the bells are moving." I looked at the wind chimes hanging on the net, blown by the wind.
"After you pick it, you can shake it in your hand and it will sound." He said it as a matter of course. "Of course, there is no guarantee about what will happen after it rings. What do you think? Which do you prefer? "The man's tone was as if he wanted me to buy a bell.
"Well, I don't have any money, ah, no, I don't have seashells." I seemed to refuse to be a shopping guide, but my eyes were still curiously wandering on the Internet, gold, silver, red, green, glass, metal, ceramic, really dazzling, curious, and I didn't make a sound?
"It's not all about accepting seashells in business, you can barter if you reach an agreement, and you can exchange some items with me."
This man is a patient shopping guide, and he says the same thing as the stall owner who sells my abrasive paste, bartering?
However, the essence of business was originally barter, and later, for the sake of convenience and expansion of "business", general equivalents were gradually produced.
I unconsciously reviewed some strange knowledge in my mind, and the man didn't urge me, as if he was a shopping guide who was just right but could put pressure on people.
I looked back at the man's polite smile.
I was a little embarrassed: "But I didn't bring anything worth exchanging either." ”
"We also support e-voucher transactions." He responded to me.
"What?" I felt like I heard words that I shouldn't hear in this world, "E-vouchers?" I repeated his words, trying to make sure I had heard me wrong.
"We support the use of BWY chain coupons and JNR system coupons." Saying that, he actually took out a flat plate from behind his Scottish skirt, it turned out to be a bag? A bag like a scottish skirt.
Before I could finish wondering about the kilt, he had already woken up the iPad screen, which looked like a shopping website, and the square charts were all kinds of bells.
"However, you need to confirm the payment from the Internet, and then you can provide a voucher for verification, and you can take the bell." His words made my mouth open so wide.
I took the tablet, my fingers touching the capacitive screen, my fingertips rubbing the light made by humans, it was really an iPad.
The man continued to do his duty as a shopping guide when I was too surprised to speak.
"Recently, we have been promoting the Soul Summoning Blessing Bag, which contains a random style of Soul Summoning Bell, and when shaken, it will summon a night soul of someone in the current world."
"What is a Night Soul?" His words were difficult for me to understand, so I had to grab a noun and ask.
"It is the deepest, most difficult soul of potential human beings, it contains the wishes and frustrations of its master, and it wanders at night, as if to achieve something."
"So it's a dream come true?"
"It's the most authentic side of the owner, it doesn't lie, it's honest with others, it's with itself." The shopping guide explained in detail.
"Isn't summoning it out to know someone else's secret? Besides, what's the use of this? "But I started to have more questions.
"The purpose of goods in this world is determined by the purchaser. We only sell goods. Some customers have also reported that Night Soul can teach you to be honest with the world. ”
"It's painful to be honest with the world."
"Everyone has their own needs, even if that need is pain. It is also the freedom of the purchaser. His words were getting stranger and stranger.
"Are the people who will be summoned to the current world the people around you? Wouldn't that hurt them? ”
"Maybe it's someone close to you, maybe it's someone far away, maybe it's someone you've never met. They didn't even feel that their night spirits were being summoned. When they wake up, everything is normal, and if they don't want to face themselves, the night soul can't talk to them. ”
I gave him the ipad back and shook my head: "Not for now, thank you." ”
He was still polite: "Okay, if you need to, you can place an order directly online, we also have branches in other regions, and of course we can also mail it." ”
He smiled like a puppet, and I looked around.
There seemed to be a brighter light on the right, so I walked that way.
As he walked forward, those leaves were like smart lights, breathing light, and the light was like dominoes, and those lights spread, and the whole path was much brighter.
There seems to be a pavilion-like building in front of it, and red lanterns are hung on the eaves, and the interior of the house seems to reveal a warm glow.
The wind was blowing the lanterns, and the candles inside didn't feel like they were going out.
Leaves of various colors fell and fell on my hands, and the green leaves emitted a faint light, and the light became more and more intense, like an incandescent lamp, and I subconsciously closed my eyes to avoid the bright light.
Then I took the leaf into a fist and opened my eyes slightly, as if there was some light flowing from my fingers.
But apparently the whole environment was a lot more splendour, and those lights shone on my fists.
I looked up and saw a glittering hourglass-shaped light sign, which was the decorative light sign of modern society.
The sound of traffic, footsteps, and talking is familiar and unfamiliar.
There were people walking by, wearing shirts and pants or skirts that couldn't be more ordinary, and their smiles were as warm and congenial as those of the people in the bazaar.
There are also stalls on both sides, but they sell small goods of modern society, watches and clocks, towels and socks.
I froze where I was.
"These are pure cotton, they don't rub against the skin, and they absorb sweat very well, but this yarn is also very comfortable.......
"It's right for the exam, I can see it as soon as you come over, these quartz movements are very accurate, and students come here to buy them......"
"It's okay to be narrower now, it will hold up after wearing it for a long time, and it will be just right ........ then"
The scene of the modern small commodity economy is playing out all around me, I am in it, everything here is running in an orderly manner, and I wonder.
I looked down at the hem of my dress, which was still the red dress from the supernatural world.
But no one seems to see me in general.
Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling, I followed the sound, the bell was crisp and urgent, a student rode a bicycle straight towards me, the people around him got out of the way, so he boldly continued to move forward, I was obviously in front of him, but he didn't seem to see me.
Feelings mingled, and I froze in place, unable to think of running away, but the bike was getting closer and closer to me.
The babbling ——, sharp brakes cut through the air.
The car came straight in front of me.
He landed on the ground with both feet, then got out of the car, looked at a stall next to him, and pushed the car over: "Boss, how do you sell this?" ”
The boss responded positively.
But the sounds around me began to become very blurry, not only the sounds, but also the scenes around me as if they were dropping frames, like vaporwave images, scurrying.
I spread out my palm, and the leaf was just an ordinary green leaf.
The glossy foliage reflects the bright lights of this street.
This street is almost full of those illuminated signs.
The wind blew, cool, from behind him, and the leaf was blown up.
I looked at the leaves, as if they were drifting deeper into the long street.
I followed the leaves with a flirtatious step.
The people around you, the motorcycles or bicycles around you, and the stalls on both sides of the stalls, flickering with the smell of fireworks in the world.
But I just followed the leaf in a daze, but the leaf was gone.
I have reached the end of the street, the lights are a little dim, there is a stall for film, and there is a stall selling slippers.
I looked around and a cube-like glass house shone brightly, what appeared to be a convenience store.
The picture around him began to move again, and the glass cube seemed to be moving, and the glass seemed to disintegrate and dissipate, and then the earth and wood gathered from all directions, and the beautiful pavilion with lanterns that I had seen at the beginning appeared in a flash.
It continued to flicker again, the lights on the eaves of the pavilion were extinguished, the pavilion began to dissipate again, and the glass and modern building materials appeared in front of me again like a fast-forward picture of an architectural documentary.
Over and over again, I stared at the changing picture,
But the moon in the night sky seems to be eternal, never changing, like an unchanging and beautiful texture.
-------------------------------I'm the dividing line-----------------------------------------------------
I bought a thrilling soundtrack, but I couldn't find the machine to play it.
I remember that the radio room was nearby, but I was obviously lost again, and the room here always kept me from getting around.
The answer was in the envelope, but I didn't open it.
It's just that I've been confused, and I'm pulling along with the feeling or something.
