Last year, I walked outside, and I saw a lot of strange moon phases, but this is the first time I've seen them like this.

Not only the moon, but also the entire night sky, is glowing with a layer of oily paper-like luster, you think the sky is pure black, but if you look closely, you can also see a subtle hint of brown in this darkness.

The man stuck half of his head out of the window and said something in a sullen voice.

His voice was mixed with the wind, and I didn't hear what he was saying for a while, only a muttered sound.

It wasn't until the sand and dust outside the window that had been drifting towards the east suddenly changed direction and began to flow due west, that I reacted, and the sentence just now should be: "The direction of the wind has changed." ”

Not only did the wind change, but even the wind weakened several times, and the chill in the air subsided, and I was finally able to let go of my arms that had been clenched all along, and shake my hands and feet, so that my muscles, which had become a little numb from the shiver, regained a little vitality.

The condition of the others was also much better, Wu Lin and Li Huaishan moved their hands and feet while coming to the window, Qing Yazi still looked indifferent, sitting in the corner, staring at the candle flame beside him, as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with him.

Kankandao subconsciously shook his legs, then retracted his head, turned his face up, and looked at the moon in the sky.

From the moment the wind changed, I felt as if the night sky was a little brighter again, and the brown mixed with the darkness became more and more intense, but the full moon hanging in the center of the night dome became more and more blurred.

Now, an extremely thick fog seemed to rise in the sky, and the outline of the moon was blurring at a rapid rate, and it was not long before the shape of the full moon was almost completely gone, and only a huge light and shadow could be seen in the foggy night sky.

At that time, the scene in the night sky was as if someone had shone a yellow flashlight on a thick frosted glass, and standing on this side of the glass, only a large, and at the same time very faint halo could be seen.

The moon continued to blur, and I came to Kankandao's side, trying to see more clearly, but found that Kankandao's breathing became very rapid at this time.

I squinted at him, and he noticed my gaze and said, "This is the eclipse." ”

Before the words could land, the speed of the moon's blurring suddenly became faster, and in the blink of an eye, the hairy moon disappeared completely, and the black night sky was completely occupied by a hazy brown color.

This light poured down from the sky and fell on the narrow streets, making the surrounding buildings, as well as the ground, and the sand and dust on the ground, as if they had been soaked in tea, turning a very pale brownish yellow, and this color also made the whole environment look very old.

I stood in front of the window and looked out the window, as if I had seen a huge old photograph.

In the photo, everything is lifeless.

The man stared at the scene outside the window for a moment, and then as if he was stimulated by something, he hurried to the door, tore off the black cloth, and stepped out with his feet.

The black cloth was hung by him, he didn't tear it open, no one dared to go out, and now he had rushed to the path first, Wu Lin and Li Huaishan didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately followed his pace.

I originally wanted to go out with me to have a look, but I remembered Qingyazi behind me.

When I looked back, I saw that Qingyazi was bending over, blowing the candle in the corner of the wall.

True Qi and Mental Power pressed together in the corner of the wall, and the slender flame on the candle shook quickly twice, and then extinguished.

One candle was blown out, and the remaining two candles were also disturbed, and the flames fluttered a few times, then dimmed until they were completely extinguished.

Qing Yazi straightened up at this time, and when he saw that I was standing at the door looking at him, he smiled at me with a big grin, waved his hand and said, "Go out." ”

I left the house, and before I went out, Qingyazi bent down again, carefully built the candle in the corner, and put it in his arms.

When they came to the path, Kan Kandao and Li Huaishan stood on the curb like ice sculptures, motionless in the direction of the intersection, Wu Lin lit a cigar, frowned tightly, and kept swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

And in the place where Kankan Daoist and Li Huaishan's eyes pointed, there was a large frozen road surface, at a glance, the thick ice layer was enough to be two or three centimeters high, and on these ice layers, there were some ice piles about a foot high, each of which was about one foot wide, long from front to back, like a chrysalis lying on the ground.

Wu Lin walked up to me with a cigar in his mouth and said something inexplicable: "In just a moment, everyone was frozen. ”

I couldn't help frowning: "Who is frozen?" ”

Wu Lin raised his hand and pointed to the side of the intersection: "See for yourself." ”

I glanced at him puzzled, and then I took a step and walked towards the intersection, and when I passed by Li Huaishan and Kankan Daoren, the two of them also seemed to come back to their senses, and hurriedly followed.

When I walked near one of the "ice chrysalis", I saw that it was not a chrysalis at all, but a person who was frozen on the ground, and the ice on his body was very thick, and it was integrated with the ice on the ground, and just by looking at it, I could feel a strong chill, but in fact, the temperature here was not too low.

Looking up again, there was a person sealed in the other ice mounds clinging to the ground, and everyone's movements were exactly the same, with straight limbs and face facing the ground.

At that time, I had a strange feeling in my heart, I always felt as if these people were lying upright on the ground first, and then someone poured a scoop of cold water on them, in the extremely cold environment, each scoop of water splashed, it would soon freeze into ice, as more and more water was splashed, the ice became thicker and thicker, until these people completely turned into ice lumps, and the ground was integrated.

I asked Li Huaishan, "How did these people get frozen?" ”

Li Huaishan smacked his tongue: "It became like this in an instant, when they appeared just now, they were still walking upright." ”

I heard the Kan Taoist on the side say: "They are not people, they are all extravagant comparisons who have not been able to become corpses." ”

My brow has been furrowed since just now, and the fold at the center of my brow has become deeper when I hear the words of the two of them.

The scene in front of me reminded me of the "Eight Cold Hells" among the Eight Great Hells, and when I thought of the continuous karmic wind on the path, I felt more and more that this Yin and Yang path was probably artificially involved.

Karmic wind is a kind of cold wind unique to the depths of Yin Cao, and the Yin and Yang Dao is only a bridge connecting the two worlds of Yin and Yang, and it is impossible for karmic wind to exist in the first place.

For example, if you are cooking on a fire in the kitchen, and the doors are closed, and all the windows are covered with black cloths, the people standing outside the door can not see the fire, and they cannot feel the heat of the fire when they are so far away, but they may be able to smell the aroma of stir-frying and hear the whirring sound from the stove.

The relationship between Yin Yang Dao and Yin Cao is actually like this, Yin Cao is like a stove in the kitchen, karmic wind is like a fire in the stove, and we, the living people in the Yang world, are like the person standing at the door of the house, we can feel that someone is cooking in the kitchen, but we can't see what kind of situation is in the kitchen.

Now that karmic wind has appeared on the Yin and Yang Dao, there is only one possibility, and that is that someone has drawn out the flames in the kitchen.

Not only did he attract the karmic wind, but he also deliberately turned this place into the appearance of the Eight Cold Hells, as for what kind of purpose the other party did this, I couldn't guess for a while.

While I was thinking about these things, the wind at the intersection was a little weaker, but the chill in the air didn't lessen much.

The man suddenly raised his face and stared in the direction of the intersection with wide eyes.

At that time, I noticed that his eyes became straight, his eyelids did not blink, and he looked like he was enchanted.

I couldn't help but be a little worried, but Qingyazi walked between me and Kankandao, shook his head at me, and motioned for me not to disturb Kankandao.

In a moment, the man's shoulders shook rapidly, and then he hurried towards the intersection.

This time, Qing Yazi also frowned violently, but after a moment's hesitation, he still followed quickly, and I beckoned to Li Huaishan and Wu Lin, following closely.

When I was about to reach the intersection, Kankandao seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head and glanced twice, until his eyes fell on me, and then he said: "We must find the wind outlet as soon as possible, and the karmic wind will disappear." ”

When he spoke, his expression was very strange.

I could feel the eagerness in his heart, but he seemed to try to make a composure and try to suppress the panic.

Seeing the appearance of Kankan Daoist, I had great doubts in my heart.

The main road of Zhiwan South Road is the same as the one we walked on before, the road surface, and the buildings on both sides of the road are blocked by ice, and in the middle of the road, there are also a large number of luxuries frozen on the ground.

Each of the movements is exactly the same, face down, with limbs stretched straight and straight.

This road is north-south, the karmic wind is blowing from the north, Kankan Taoist stood on the curb, hesitated slightly, and then took a big step and rushed towards the wind as fast as possible.

I spread out the clouds and followed up, while staring at the back of the Kankan Daoist, his panicked look was really unreassuring.

Even Qingyazi, who has always been cynical, has a dignified face at this time.

This road seems to have no end, and after walking for a long time, the dialect is still frozen everywhere, and the luxury of crawling on the ground has become more and more dense.

At first they were scattered in the middle of the road or near the curb, at least five or six meters apart from each other, but now, almost every two meters, there is an ice lump.
