Chapter 388: Swallowing the Sun
Finally, a bright ray of light shone into the small space under the shade of the Netherworld Divine Tree. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info first cast a small circle of light under my feet, and then slowly climbed up along my body. I didn't have to look down to feel its presence, it wasn't too blazing, it wasn't too dazzling, but it was extremely penetrating, penetrating directly into the texture of my skin, ironing every inch of my nerves, until, at last, it finally fell gently on my chest, where my heart was beating, and then it slowly blurred, enveloping my whole being.
It's a familiar feeling, like after the autumn harvest, every time I climb up the high straw stack, lie flat on it, and enjoy the feeling of the autumn sun bathing my whole body while smelling the intoxicating fragrance of grass. It is a force of nature, primitive and intimate, as if in the crook of a mother's arm as a baby, warm, grounded, and with a faint sense of well-being.
When this feeling jumped into my heart, I finally realized that the last moment that those of us were waiting for seemed to have finally arrived, and I couldn't help but follow the light and look into the distance.
As the location rises, the view is widespread. I saw that far east, the last round of the sun was rising from a brilliant cloud, it was different from any sun that had risen to the zenith before, it was larger, more magnificent, like several flames of turbulence in the disturbance, forming a deep and shallow level, majestic and strange, although it made people's eyes hot, and could not help but squint their eyes to appreciate its beauty, but it seemed so gentle, so generous and inclusive, full of attraction.
Is this the tenth sun? Ancient mythology describes a scene in which the ten suns are ten brothers, all sons of the gods, who dwell on a huge hibiscus tree in the middle of the sea and rise into the sky in turn every day, bringing heat and life to the earth. Until one day, on a whim, these naughty children actually ascended to the zenith together, and the result was a catastrophe that brought almost destruction to the world, just like today. Fortunately, a hero named Hou Yi climbed to the top of the mountain and shot down nine of the suns with a bow and arrow, leaving only the last one to continue to serve the world, so that mankind could continue to survive. This is the legendary "Hou Yi Shooting Sun".
And what about today? To save this world, do I also need to shoot down the nine extra suns in the sky like Hou Yi?
In fact, how I wish that there was a divine bow and nine divine arrows in front of me, so that I would also have the opportunity to solve this apocalyptic crisis in one fell swoop like a dashing hero!
But that won't be the reality. It's easy to tell a hero's story beautifully, but if you really want to be a hero, it's not a good thing to fantasize too much.
Besides, I don't want to be a hero. There really hasn't been a moment that makes me want to be an ordinary person so much and live the most peaceful and undulating days! It's a pity... I gazed deeply at Meng Jiang again, knowing in my heart what I had given up with my own hands.
I sighed deeply, and my thoughts began to return to the present.
As I have judged before, the 10-day simultaneous rise represents only a state, and the originally balanced cycle of yang and yin has been disrupted and presented an abnormal state. At first, it was the yin energy. For this time and space, it is like the human body being invaded by external cold, and symptoms of discomfort such as chills, body weight, and muscle and bone pain suddenly appear, all of which are reminding the body that the situation is not right, and you need to take action.
It's just that nature has a natural way of expression, it may be the earth shaking the mountains, it may be the rain and wind, it may be the beauty of the mountains and rivers suddenly turning into barren land. But the purpose is very clear, it is a kind of notification, a signal, a silent accusation.
If this situation is not coordinated, the body will start to mobilize energy to fight the situation. People may cough, sneeze, vomit, and diarrhea...... These are very rudimentary means, and if the cold evil is not particularly strong, such means can be completely exorcized.
If it still can't be expelled, the human body will have a secondary attack, which will cause fever, raise body temperature, speed up metabolism, and urge the immune system to work more efficiently to completely eliminate foreign enemies.
It's just that this ultimate move is also counted as killing a thousand enemies and self-damage of eight hundred, if the righteous qi cannot be defeated after all, the original circulation of the human body will be disrupted, and the external evil will go deeper, causing more serious problems.
So, what about nature?
In the same way, so-called natural disasters that are more serious than bad weather will appear, and they will gradually escalate until a new balance is re-established!
Now, it's the earth that has a fever!
So, what should I do as a doctor?
Just as we were thinking, we suddenly heard a sharp bird call, and the phoenixes above our heads suddenly turned from quiet to restless, and they flapped their wings and chirped. When I looked up, I found that the ones that had been as black as the night had grown a lot in size, and they were slowly shining, and their plumage gradually turned from black to dark red, and then to red, and the light became more and more intense, and there were thunderbolt-like flashes of light in the process. And their long songs are even more towards the rising red sun, as if they are paying tribute to it.
Looking at the red sun on the horizon again, it did not rise completely, but the range seemed to be several times larger, and the bright brilliance soared again, and it was almost clear that there was a magma-like torrent gushing out on its surface!
Not only that, the space on the top of the mountain where we were originally located was relatively narrow, and it happened to be covered by the Netherworld Divine Tree that was incarnated by Arc Liang. And now, not only the ground under his feet seemed to suddenly stretch out, but the space around him suddenly became much wider, and the Netherworld Divine Tree, which had spread like a palace, expanded again, and the several thick pillars also seemed to be more penetrating, which more and more set off the insignificance of those of us who were in it.
Wrong! I suddenly realized that something was wrong, and when I looked at my companions again, they were so busy that they didn't have time to pay attention to such changes.
"Meng Jiang, do you feel it? Something is wrong here! I could only say to Meng Jiang in front of me.
Meng Jiang looked gloomy and said nothing, as if he hadn't heard me speak at all.
She has always been calm and rational, and I still see it for the first time in such a state of distraction, and I can't help but be stunned.
I turned my head to look, but I saw an arc of light speeding towards the red sun on the horizon, and disappeared in a flash.
Is that... Although we reached out to block out the bright light, there were still some flowers in front of us, and we were not sure what we were seeing, but soon, a terrible cry sounded closer to us, and a phoenix above our heads suddenly turned into a ball of fire, and before we could see its image clearly, a long beak appeared in the light and shadow it emitted, and swallowed it in one gulp!
Isn't that the fire phoenix that appeared earlier? It is... Did you swallow your companion?!
Suddenly, a strong sense of foreboding flashed in my heart, and when I looked up at the sky again, I found that there was one less of the nine suns hanging high! Could it be that it was one of the suns that flew towards the red sun just now and quickly disappeared into it?
What the hell is this... What's going on?
