Chapter 5: The Twin Cities of the Moon Lock
Yoyo chased the glowing frog, and I ran out after Yoyo.
It is estimated that after running for more than ten minutes, we came to the abandoned steel mill, the mottled rust echoed the overgrown weeds, a gust of wind blew, in this hot summer there was a cool feeling, the wild wind raging steel mill seemed to tell a silent millennium of the past.
As I was lost in infinite thought, Yoyo suddenly screamed.
"Master, come and see, the frog has jumped into this pit and disappeared. Yoyo wagged his tail and flew up and down the pit.
"What's the situation?" I slowly leaned over to see a pit the size of a round table, and there seemed to be light shining through it, and I could feel the wind blowing from it when I reached over.
"If there is wind, there should be space and flowing air in it, and there should be an outlet in it to form air convection. As I spoke, I picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in.
After a few minutes, I didn't hear back, and I was a little frightened, "Yoyo, it seems that this is a bottomless pit, let's go back." ”
"Master, I can feel a powerful power from the light coming out of the frog's belly, and it should be a divine weapon in its belly. I'll fly you down on your back and see. Yoyo flew around me and slapped me on the head with a fishtail.
"Okay, go and get back quickly. "Maybe I'm looking forward to it.
"Master, hold on. Yoyo said as he flew me in against the vent of the cave. As soon as I flew inside, I was dumbfounded.
A piece of water and moon cave sky, the plains on both sides of the rice field, the green rice field in the countless carp stiffening, jumping, bursts of frog cry endlessly, crisp and bright. Such a bumper harvest scene reminded me of the sentence "The fragrance of rice flowers says a good year, and I listen to the sound of frogs", and I smiled and indulged in it. Seeing someone break in, the frog with a blue-green fluorescent belly jumped out, took a hard breath, puffed out its belly and roared, "Alarm, alarm! There is an enemy invasion, ready to enter the battle state!" Soon, gongs and drums were beating around, and thousands of frogs swarmed in.
"Yo-yo, run!" I shouted, and I ran in panic, thinking to myself, "What the hell is this? Frogs can talk! I'm ...... an intruder."
I didn't run for a minute when I hit a big wet wall. When I got up and rubbed my forehead, I realized that it was a gable of thousands of frogs, and I sat down on the ground in fright, and I felt around my back, trying to find a weapon, even a stone, but there was nothing on the ground but a pool of slimy liquid.
"Who are you, why are you invading our frog territory?!" the glowing frog roared solemnly as he stood against the frog wall.
"I'm a poet, not a bad person, and I accidentally fell into the pit with Yoyo and got here. I calmed down, endured my fear, and said with a strong smile, "Brother Frog, I'm really sorry to disturb your mansion, let's leave, let's leave......"
I looked around, but I didn't see Yoyo, it turned out that Yoyo had shrunk and hidden in my arms.
"Master, your bronze mirror is hot. Youyou muttered in my arms as she patted the bronze mirror with a fishtail, and then made two "dong dong" sounds.
"What's the sound?!" the frog cried, "Fly frog, bat frog, go get him!"
Before I could react, a frog with huge dragonfly wings and a frog with bat wings bit my left and right arms, respectively, and flew to a halt in mid-air across the frog wall.
I looked left and right, two bulging glasses staring at me, as if I was about to be judged by the century. The slimy liquid from those two guys ran down my sleeve and into my palm, and it felt cold and disgusting. I stole a glance down and wow, so high, and thought to myself, "How high is this frog wall, I'm going to die if I fall down!"
"Brother frog, I'm not a bad person, just now I was so hungry that I made that sound. Seeing that you frogs are beneficial insects, I don't want to hurt you, otherwise I will be exhausted. I shivered my legs in the air, nodded with a smile, and looked at the glowing frog and gave me a generous heart, "You let the two brothers let me go down first, I have a fear of heights, I also have heart disease, please don't scare me anymore." ”
As I spoke, I pretended to cry as I closed my eyes and silently recited the mantra. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I really don't dare to look at this disgusting frog with bat wings anymore.
"Are you a spy of the witch fairy, and if you don't say anything, I'll throw you to feed the shrimp!" said the frog as he pointed with his claws at a large red lobster that was drooling at me and waving two large pincers.
"My frog fairy, no! The witch fairy is my enemy, my parents ......" Before I could finish speaking, the bronze mirror in my arms flew out, the temperature of the bronze mirror became higher and higher, making a "bang" sound, and gradually turned into a burning flame, it flew straight towards the glowing frog, flew directly into its mouth, and entered its stomach.
"Yo-yo, my magic weapon has run away!" I struggled to get nervous and yelled at the frog, "Give me back the bronze mirror!"
At this moment, a bright moon flew out of the frog's belly, hanging brightly above the rice fields, illuminating the plain rice fields in the cave, and the cave was as clear as the day.
"It's the moon, what about my bronze mirror?" I said in my heart.
"Let him go. The frog suddenly changed his tone and became polite.
"Welcome to the distinguished guests!" the frog said excitedly as he jumped up to me and hugged me, and in the blink of an eye, the frog wall in front of me disappeared, and a circle of frogs danced around us, singing croaking songs, and flying frogs and manta frogs carried flower baskets around me to spread the fragrance of rice flowers.
As soon as I hit the ground, I was still in shock, and it was this scene, I wiped the sweat beads on my forehead and the mucus on my shoulders, and shouted loudly, "You frogs are so fickle, you can really play, you scared me to death just now." What kind of song is this?!"
"You should be the prince of poetry Kyushu, I have offended a lot before, and I ask the prince to atone for his sins. The frog put a wreath around my neck as he continued:
"Prince, I don't know, there was a catastrophe in the poetry country eight thousand years ago, and the witch immortals devoured the soul of the sun and moon in the poetry country, causing the sun and moon to be lightless. Later, she was suppressed by your parents on Zhuxian Mountain with the Sun and Moon Divine Sword, and the soul of Sun and Moon was also sealed. Legend has it that only the prince of the poetry country can rescue the soul of the sun and the moon and restart the brilliance of heaven and earth. As he spoke, he pointed to the red stone paintings on the rock walls on the side of the rice fields and told me that the Great War was recorded on these rock paintings.
"I am a parasite of the moon, responsible for protecting the essence of the moon. When the bronze mirror in your hand lifted the moon soul in my body, at that moment, I knew that you were the prince of poetry of our frog clan. Our frog clan and fish clan belong to the water tribe together, and together with the feather clan and the zerg, we control the five major energy systems of the poetry country: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and we have always been the loyal generals of the poetry country. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a thunderclap of "Hmmm!" and all the frogs nodded and looked at me with a smile.
"Then I am the prince of your frog clan?" I asked curiously, and called out Yoyo with reassurance. Yoyo swam out of my arms with his tail swinging, leaving the frogs stunned, and they jumped over and touched Yoyo's head, stroked Yoyo's tail, and played with Yoyo. "Well, you can prepare some shrimp meat for Yoyo. ”
"Yes, prince!" said the frog, commanding him to go down.
"Where are the other Feather Clans and Zerg now, and what will happen when the moon comes out?" I looked at Yoyo and asked curiously about the frog.
"Prince, the Yu clan lives in the northern sycamore forest, controlled by the northern divine beast Suzaku, and the Zerg lives on the edge of hellfire, controlled by the southern divine beast Xuanwu, but Xuanwu has already sold his soul to the witch immortal and is no longer our comrade-in-arms. The frog sighed in disappointment.
"Yes, master, I heard Taishan's White Tiger Daoist also talk about this. The current soil system is basically in the hands of Liancheng. Our affairs on the ground can basically be understood by the disciples of Xuanwu. Yoyo suddenly perked up.
"The frog and the toad are originally one family, and it seems that you are going to fight in the future. Yoyo, your dried shrimp is here, eat it. As he spoke, the fly frog and the manta frog flew over with a basket of shrimp in their mouths.
"Prince, now that the soul of the moon has come out, as long as you go to Mount Tai to find the flamingo to unlock the soul of the sun, then your Sun and Moon Sword can be pulled out. As he spoke, the frog jumped onto a large leaf in the rice field, dipped its paws in the water in the field, and stuck its paws out of its tongue.
"Well, the tide is coming, tomorrow on the night of the full moon, the moonlight is the thickest, and we can directly travel to the country of words through the Divine Foot Pass. ”
"What is Shenzutong, and where is the country of words?" I asked, touching the back of my head to look at Yoyo and the frog, with a blank expression.
"Prince, the Divine Foot Pass is the Pisces Jade Pendant you wear on your chest, it can open the spirituality of many magic weapons in ancient times, resurrect their lives, and you alone have the power to control it. The country of words is the twin brother of the country of poetry, just like the balance of yin and yang of the sun and the moon, it has the same root and origin as the country of poetry, and they are all born of the wisdom of Manjushri. Hurry up and get on the boat, I will take you through the rice fields, into the wheat sea, and see the time plate leading to the country of words. The frog said as he pointed to Konoha at its feet.
"Wheat field, can this leaf carry me?" I looked at the wooden leaf, a little worried.
"Prince, this is the ancient ark, the strength is a thousand catties, you can rest assured. The frogs on the edge of the rice paddies swayed from side to side, danced and sang quacks to see us off.
I carefully stepped on the leaves on my toes and slowly lowered my steps, "Hey, it's really fine. As soon as I smiled, Konoha swished and drove quickly, the rice on both sides brushed to give way, the frogs flew and scattered rice flowers, and in a farewell we came to the golden wheat sea, a warm wind blew, and the wheat waves flashed with golden waves, revealing warm hope.
The frog jumped onto a wave of wheat and looked at a glowing disc in the eastern sky:
"Prince, this is the time disk, it is the bridge that connects the country of poetry and the country of words. If the soul of the sun is unsealed, the sun and the moon will be more spiritual, more dazzling and brighter, and then the mission of the time disk will be successfully completed, and it will disappear. Now only the soul of the moon has been unsealed, the sun and the moon are dim, and we can only see a bright city. ”
"Do you mean that the country of words is still dark and dead?"
"Yes, the flamingo, the parasite of the soul of the sun, has not been found for a day, and there is no sunshine for a day in the country of words, and we are now in the past, with the help of the 12 hours of day and night, to use our moonlight to promote the growth of life in the country of words. The frog jumped and rolled in the sea of wheat in front of him, and said happily, "When the country of words also grows golden wheat, it is also the hope of the country of poetry." ”
"I understand, now the earth is full of moon energy, and the country of poetry and poetry must rely on the soul of the moon. There was no moonshine on that side before, and the rice and wheat grew well. Can't the word country grow?"
"Prince, I don't know, the country of words is on the edge of hellfire, dark and dark, controlled by the earth system controlled by Xuanwu, and it is all withered and yellow. I heard that Xuanwu is now helping the wind, fire, thunder, and lightning under the command of Liancheng to attack the city and dominate the village, and the country of words was once passive and obscure under the management of a group of earth-based black smoke miasma. There were no crops in the ground, and the people on the surface of the earth were scattered, and many of the lands were deserted. The frog complained bitterly, and was very pitiful.
"It turns out that the country of words is in dire straits, so tomorrow's trip to the country of words is a must!" I looked at you and said categorically.
"Go, go!" said Yoyo happily wagging his tail.
"And what do you call you?" I said, looking at the frog.
"Haha, as the sunniest and most handsome leader of the frog clan, everyone calls me frog haha, you will call me that in the future. It said and rolled in the sea of wheat again.
"Frog haha, frog haha......" Yoyo muttered its name as he blew the bubble from his mouth, and I wanted to laugh as I listened.
"Frog haha, tomorrow is the night of the full moon, Yoyo and I will come over tomorrow afternoon and go to the country of words with you. I'm going to have to go home now, or my mom will be worried. "I patted Yoyo and signaled that we were going home.
"Alright, I'll take you to the hole in the steelworks. "The frog haha claws and drove Konoha to fly through a thick fog and soon came to the mouth of the cave. I waved goodbye to Yoyo and Haha, and hurried home.
After tossing all morning, I hurried home to take a shower and eat. When my mother saw me gobbling up, she said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, no one will rob you!" How did this forehead bag come from, and you went out to fight again?" and touched my head in distress.
"No, I accidentally hit the wall around the bend. "I thought of the wet, slimy frog wall again, and hurried a few mouthfuls of food to water the flowers in the yard.
"Yo-yo, do you say that this moon hangs in the same sky, or does the moon move in space under the control of people?" I crouched under the jujube tree and fell into deep thought.
"Master, I don't know any of that. Maybe the moon is also alive, and it can run and jump, just like a frog haha. Hee-hee......" Yoyo said as he laughed.
"Clever. Just like you. I smiled and poked my finger at the fish's head.
In the evening, I noticed that the moonlight was much brighter than before, and I felt stronger than the daylight during the day. I thought to myself, it's different if the moon is resurrected with full blood, and I can't help but laugh.
At dinner, my mother still put fish head in my bowl, which was my favorite fish head tofu soup. "Eat more, tomorrow morning I'm going to your father's factory to help wash vegetables and cook, many workers over there have mysteriously disappeared, and some workers are scared and quit, there is a need for manpower, and I'm a little worried about your father." During the summer vacation, you have to learn to cook by yourself, take care of yourself, bacon is dried on the balcony, dried vegetables and sweet potatoes are stored in the cellar, and there are more than 20 fish in the water tank in the backyard, and you can cook one when you want to eat fish...... "Mom said a lot, but I didn't pay much attention to it; she didn't know that I was going to a new world tomorrow afternoon.
"Got it. "When my mother finishes speaking, I will accept it.
After eating, I washed my feet and went upstairs to sleep, looking at the moon outside the window, feeling more and more incredible.
The next morning, Yoyo woke me up with a flick of his fishtail as usual. I went downstairs to wash, my mother was already out of the house, and the kitchen was the meal she had prepared before leaving. This time, let Yoyo also sit at the table and eat breakfast, and while eating, he also became worried.
"Yoyo, my mother said last night that many workers in the factory have mysteriously disappeared, will they encounter accidents?" I said as I thought of the villagers imprisoned by the zombies in Lop Nur, and I felt an inexplicable panic.
After eating, I turned on the TV and found that the news report scared me, "The latest news broadcast: In recent days, the temperature has risen sharply, the snow in the Tianshan area has begun to melt, and an avalanche on the east side of Tianchi in the Tianshan Mountains has suddenly flooded a radius of dozens of kilometers. A group of students from Ke Middle School who collected plant specimens went missing near the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, and now they have dispatched troops stationed in Xinjiang to carry out a comprehensive search and rescue work in the mountainous areas. ”
"Peng Jingjing. The name flashed through my mind, "Yoyo, did you say she was okay near the Tianshan Mountains?"
"Don't worry, host. Jiren has its own natural appearance. Sister Crystal is smart and will turn anything into danger. Yoyo comforted me with a tail wagging.
"Okay. After eating, we cleaned up and went to the steel mill to find frogs haha. ”
"Hmm. When we deal with the affairs of the country of words, we will fly to Tianshan Tianchi to see what is going on. Don't worry, it's okay. Yoyo comforted me while munching on the shrimp crackers.
After eating, I cleaned up the house, locked the door and went straight to the steel mill. I now want to finish the affairs of the soil system on the side of the country as soon as possible and fly to Xinjiang to see the crystal.
I trotted all the way to the steel mill, and when I was out of breath to rest, a white-haired old man who was scavenging suddenly appeared. He was carrying a bag of dilapidated waste with a wooden stick, and when he saw me in the steel mill, he slowly sat down on the stone steps at the door, brushed the hair that was scattered in front of his face with his hand, looked at me and said, "Boy, are you going to the country of poetry or the country of words?"
I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself about this strange old man, how did he know the country of poetry and words, could it be that he also crossed over. The more I thought about it, the more strange it became, so I leaned over curiously, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, how do you know the country of poetry and the country of words?"
"Hehe, it's a secret. Remember that the earth-based Xuanwu should not harm it, and try to persuade him to go astray. The energy system of the five elements is indispensable. Remember!" he said with a smile as he stroked his long beard and looked at me.
I glanced down at the cave, and when I looked back and tried to ask him again, he had disappeared without a trace.
I felt like I ran to the hole in the steel mill, folded my hands into a horn, and shouted into the cave, "Frog haha, we're coming." ”
After a while, the frog Haha flew out of the cave on Konoha, and we flew quickly to the wheat sea on Konoha. Seeing that dusk was approaching, the time wheel became brighter and brighter, and my heart was pounding. I don't know what the legendary soil system is? I don't know what the country of words looks like now?
