Next Chapter

This day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Lantern Festival, the land of China is full of jubilation, the celebration of the Shangyuan Festival, everywhere is lively and lively, the dragon lantern is jubilant.

The moon is far away from the earth, but from outer space, the moon is very dark, not bright and a little cold. There was a huge mirror flying over the moon, and on it sat or stood a group of teenagers, the largest was no more than twenty, the youngest sixteen, a total of twenty of them, and the jade mirror emitted a faint light shroud over everyone.

The speed of the jade mirror was very fast, as if it had divine power, and in such a cold and airless situation in outer space, this group of young people was not affected at all, and it was no different from sitting on the ground as usual.

This group of young people shuttled with the jade mirror, and in an instant, they crossed the moon and flew towards distant outer space. They have different expressions, some are excited, some are faintly sad, some are silent, some are very quiet, only one teenager, sitting at the end of the jade mirror has been looking back at the earth, watching the earth slowly become smaller from in front of their eyes, and finally disappearing, only a black circle, the outer circle is the outline of the sun. The other friends watched Chu Ge's movements, some fell into deep thought, and some disagreed, but no one laughed at him, because they were from the same race, and they were from the Chu clan.

Chu Ge saw countless planets passing by him, some big and some small, some he knew and some he didn't. I don't know how long it took, but finally no planet passed by, and began to enter the boundless darkness, and the speed of the jade mirror seemed to begin to slow down, not so fast, but in fact extremely fast.

On the jubilant land of the Earth Shenzhou, on a pavilion in a mountain range, there was a group of people looking at the starry sky, all of them had snow-white beards, and they were at least eighty years old, but they were in good spirits. Behind them stood juniors who were younger than them, at least fifty or sixty years old, and they were not qualified to stand here any further, only to kneel outside and wait.

The people waiting outside had obviously been kneeling for a long time, and a young man complained: "We have been kneeling for two hours on such a cold day, how long will we have to kneel?"

There was a long line of kneeling in the line, which looked like there were no less than two hundred people, and at the front kneeled twelve middle-aged men, all of whom looked like they were about forty. As soon as that young man happened, the young man at the front of the team turned his head, with a Chinese face, heroic and compelling, exuding a unique atmosphere of a soldier, which made the young man feel his heart tighten, and immediately stopped squeaking.

As if it had been kneeling for too long, the crowd began to have a slight commotion, and a black-faced man kneeling at the front couldn't help but scold: "Chu Yuangong is a hundred years old, and he is still standing on the stargazing platform, what's wrong with you juniors kneeling, the clan has taught our generation to kneel here and wait, you are still qualified to kneel, and others are not qualified to kneel if they want to, hum." ”

The stargazing platform is very simple, it looks like a tattered platform, but if you look closely, you can find that this has been tempered by wind and frost, and it is definitely an old platform that is some years old.

There were three people standing next to the old man at the head, standing in the shape of an arch guard, and one of them, a slightly younger old man, said softly: "Uncle Yuan, it's almost midnight, your body, if you don't rest first, we can just guard here." ”

The old man looked at the starry sky and didn't move, just said softly: "It's okay, although I step into the grave with half a foot, this sixty-year stargazing and moon watching is a must, and I can keep it twice in a lifetime, you won't have a chance when you reach my age, and the grandchildren outside may have a chance!"

The old man's words seemed to reveal endless pride, and the others couldn't help but nod when they heard it, the people who can stand on this ancient stargazing platform tonight are basically people who know the inside story of tonight, they are not the group of middle-aged people kneeling outside. And in this group of people, there are directly three generations, the first generation, only Chu Yuangong is left, it has been a hundred years, and the second generation is all eighty years old, which can be imagined.

It didn't take long for someone to exclaim: "Jade Mirror Hengyue, Jade Mirror Hengyue, I saw them." ”

Everyone on the stargazing platform stared at the moon in the sky, and there was a small black dot that was passing through the middle of the moon, and this process was less than ten seconds, but everyone seemed to have experienced a long time.

This black dot is the way Chu Ge and his group of young people in outer space see them for the last time on Earth.

Since then, the end of the world is far away, and it is difficult to see each other again, maybe this group of young people does not understand what the future holds, but that group of gray-haired people all understand, and it is not the first time they have experienced it. Sixty years ago their brother or son or father went through the same thing as this group of young people now, and then they never saw each other again, not knowing life or death, not knowing when they would return.

The starry sky is vast, but Chu Ge and their eyes are indeed patches of darkness, without any light, here is like a black hole, which can swallow all the light. They could only wait quietly, they couldn't do anything, they just waited, no one panicked, they were all calm, they were not surprised by this, they were just a little dazed, they didn't know where they were going.

They were flying in outer space, and suddenly there was a glow, and a huge fireball flew past them, causing a panic. But then they fell silent, as the Jade Mirror automatically avoided the burning extraterrestrial meteorite.

Then they saw the sea of stars, as if it was on the same earth, it looked beautiful, but it was obviously different, they had already flown out of the solar system.

Suddenly, there was a creepy feeling coming to everyone, the breath was very cold, and it made people feel that their cold hairs were about to explode, and the jade mirror was suddenly as silent as death. Finally, they saw the source of the coldness, it was a giant corpse, and it was still covered in armor, Chu Ge They couldn't recognize what kind of beast it was, and it didn't look like a beast if it was a beast, which completely subverted their perception of beasts.

In front of them was a small hill at all, a horn was as huge as a building, it looked like a rhinoceros, but it was a bit like a dragon, but it still had huge wings, but it seemed to have already died, floating in outer space, but the aura still made Chu Ge and his party feel cold, and there was a sense of suffocating depression.

The speed of the jade mirror was still very fast, and in a flash, the giant corpse was already far behind and could not be seen, and everyone came through the qi.

At this time, a teenager's voice trembled a little and said, "Are we going to die here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a silence in the crowd, and then some people accused: "Don't be crow's mouth, good spirits are not bad spirits." ”

The young man immediately shut up, and then crawled to Chu Ge's side and whispered: "Brother Young Master, you have been sitting at the back, looking at the back, what are you looking at, isn't it all pitch black?"

Chu Ge replied for a long time: "I'm looking at the direction of home, the earth." ”

Chu Ge's voice was not loud, but almost everyone heard it, and then they all looked behind him, the direction of the earth, they couldn't tell it clearly, it was all darkness, but there were their parents, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends on the earth, and they didn't know how many billions of miles away from the earth. They don't know if they can return to Earth, and they don't even know if they can live, because when they set out, there were one hundred and eight of them, but now there are only twenty people on the jade mirror.

A sad mood was spreading, the youngest one actually shed tears, and then a teenager spoke: "Today should be the Lantern Festival, the family should make delicious food, I haven't eaten my mother's food for half a month." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately aroused everyone's thoughts, they had been away from home for half a month, and then strangely taken to hellish outer space by this jade mirror. They started talking, and some bragged about how delicious and delicious the food their mother cooked, and that none of the food they had eaten in the past half a month had been eaten by anyone.

Whether they are bragging or not, no one refutes it, because the food cooked by my mother must be the best in the world, and they feel the same way, and there is another reason why they may never eat again in this life.

In the darkness, time seemed to pass quickly, everyone fell asleep, only Chu Ge was awake alone, still facing the direction of the earth. Suddenly, the jade mirror began to turn upside down, and it shook very much, and all the people who fell asleep woke up all of a sudden, although the sky was spinning, but they did not leave the jade mirror, they could feel that there was a suction force in the jade mirror that was absorbing them.

The light mask became unstable, and the light and shade changed, as if there was no electricity, which made Chu Ge feel a sense of crisis in his heart, and he shouted: "Everyone hand in hand, unite together, don't move, calm down." ”

Hearing this shout, everyone quickly stabilized, but the danger became more and more intense, and the jade mirror began to shake strongly, and the light of the light mask became more and more intense, scattering light from time to time to illuminate the surroundings. Then there was a faint light, and everyone could feel that the surroundings seemed to be less stable, as if there was a turbulent flow in space.

In fact, when they encountered a space storm, it was not a turbulence, but they were protected by the jade mirror, and it was not so obvious. When the light of the jade mirror mask became more and more intense, the range they could see became larger, and the jade mirror also flipped and shook more and more, the suction began to become gradually thinner, and many people broke out in cold sweat, if they fell out of the light mask of the jade mirror, they would definitely die, and without oxygen in outer space, they would not survive.

The jade mirror shook more and more, the blue light emitted by the light mask became stronger and stronger, and the flight speed became faster and faster, as if it was sprinting and crashing forward. Everyone became more and more nervous, because there was a feeling that they were about to be thrown out of the jade mirror, and they all desperately attached to the jade mirror, they were no longer sitting hand in hand, but became lying on the jade mirror, holding on to it, not letting themselves out of the jade mirror.

But Rao is they grabbed very tightly, but with the violent shaking of the jade mirror, people began to be thrown out of the jade mirror's light mask, and a terrible scream came from behind them, and everyone saw that the body of the young man who was thrown out was directly torn apart by the space storm, and it looked like a corpse of five horses.

Then they grabbed tighter, but their manpower was limited, and they felt that they could be thrown out at any time. Suddenly, there was a sound of glass breaking, and Chu Ge sighed in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.

The light curtain of the light mask was shattered, and suddenly a strong space storm blew, and five people were blown away at once, some were blown away directly on the spot, and some were blown away in an instant, needless to say, they must not be able to survive, there were only fourteen people left in the crowd, and the rest of the people were already full of fear in their hearts, and there were only one or two people left, and they were still supporting themselves with a strong will.

Chu Ge knew that the more he was like this, the more he needed to be calm, but he had no choice about the current situation in front of him, he could only try to hold on to it and not let himself be blown away. Immediately, three more people were blown away, and they exploded not far from the jade mirror on the spot, and they exploded almost as soon as the jade mirror was blown out.

At this time, no one spoke, and all their strength was used to grasp the jade mirror, not to mention that they had a feeling that if they opened their mouths, the wind would enter from their mouths, and they would definitely be blown apart on the spot. The jade mirror was still jolting, and when the wind was strong, another person was thrown out, he grabbed Chu Ge's hand in a panic, and shouted desperately: "Help me." ”

It's a pity that these are the last two words he said, he was directly blown away by the space storm, he should not die painfully, Chu Ge thought so in his heart, because he was not torn apart. At this moment, there are only ten people on the jade mirror, and all of a sudden there are half fewer people in the team, and the rest of the people have already collapsed, and some people have collapsed in their hearts, and they will all die here.

In the trembling of the jade mirror, the light shield rose again, enveloping everyone, the sense of strength disappeared, the space storm also disappeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At first, they were lying or sitting on the jade mirror, gasping for breath and resting, they had just passed away from the ghost gate, and they had lost ten people, how unfortunate and how lucky.

Before they had time to rejoice, although the jade mirror light shield rose, the jade mirror was broken, and under the attack of the violent space darkness storm, the jade mirror was directly broken in half, and suddenly four people disappeared directly into the darkness along with the fragments.

Not only that, the youngest boy was also on the verge of life and death, he fell out, but Chu Ge's eyes were quick and he grabbed the youngest boy at once. The boy looked frightened and cried, "Help me, save me, save me." ”

Chu Ge was struggling to grasp it, he felt that he couldn't pull him up at all if he grabbed it like this, and sooner or later the two of them would be dragged into the boundless darkness together. Chu Ge gritted his teeth, shook it hard, and directly threw the young man back to the jade mirror, but this time he threw himself out, and the hand that grabbed the jade mirror was not strong enough, and was directly blown out of the jade mirror.

The young man escaped death, staring blankly at Chu Ge disappearing into the darkness, the tears that had just stopped immediately flowed out, and Chu Ge died in order to save him.

Chu Ge himself didn't expect this to be the result, but he didn't complain, if he did it again, he should still reach out and grab this young man. The expression on Chu Ge's face was very indifferent, and there was no fear, which made people feel very calm.

At the last moment, Chu Ge was not thinking about life and death, he thought back on his life, he should have died young, but he was unwilling, he was going to die here inexplicably, how good it would be if he didn't come to this trip.

Everything starts with Chinese New Year's Eve.
