Chapter 104: Ink Sky Red Moon
'Thousand Silk Threads' is the name of an ancient well. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This ancient well has a history of at least thousands of years, and it has a very special place in the hearts of the people of Beizhou. Because, every 60 years, a baby girl can be born in this ancient well, and this baby girl has always been regarded as a saint and has become the spiritual support of the entire people of Beizhou.
Let's turn the 'Wheel of Time' back to the early winter night of Beizhou in the year 1032 of the Five States Calendar.
That night, the people of Wangcheng were gathering around the ancient well to discuss, and anxiety appeared on everyone's faces, because they didn't know if the heavens had abandoned Beizhou, otherwise why would they be stingy in giving them a new holy woman?
The thousand threads were still silent in the commotion, and a mysterious voice rose from the bottom of the deep well.
Hedan, who was closest to the wellhead, didn't seem to care too much about the noise and discussion behind him, his eyes were tightly closed, and his long pale eyebrows were only slightly furrowed, and no one could guess the old minister's heart.
Although the twelve generals in the underworld were equally silent, from the eyes they exchanged with each other, they could easily catch the anxiety that could not be concealed at all.
In this way, I don't know how long it has been, but the commotion in the crowd continues, and there is a noise around the well.
The little boy named Gui Misu in Wangcheng, wearing a fat linen robe full of holes, stood beside his father in the outermost part in confusion, and his eyes were as clear as jade, full of incomprehension and interest in the sad faces and discussions of the adults.
Perhaps it was because she felt the breath in the air for a moment freeze, and Misu was tired.
He opened his delicate mouth, yawned deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already covered with a layer of water, so he began to lazily rub his eyes with his clenched little fists, but unfortunately, the gentle rubbing not only did not make the sleepiness decrease in the slightest, but made it thicker, and there was no food in the abdomen, and the angle of Misu's little head was slightly larger, so when he put down his little hand and regained his vision, the doubly clear gaze glanced directly into the deep night sky.
This glance didn't matter, Misu's big eyes couldn't take it off, and he was suddenly attracted by the sight in the night sky......
I saw that above the nine heavens, the thick clouds that were originally as black as ink and filled with a breath of death began to be restless at this moment, and then tumbled, and then the dark clouds began to roll inward and outward, and the strands of whirling and boiling......
Then, the black clouds in the entire night sky gradually twisted into a huge bunch, majestic and terrifying, showing a kind of hideousness that could not be understood.
Misu was curious, and perhaps a little frightened, for in his empty memory it seemed as if he had never seen such a spectacular and terrifying night sky, so his little hands began to unconsciously tug at the cuffs of his father in front of him.
The huge black cloud did not linger in the sky for long, but began to twist and break suddenly, then split into two huge strands, and then faded to both sides like a tide at an astonishing speed.
When the cloud tide finally receded and there was no dust, a round of golden full moon that occupied most of the sky appeared slightly abruptly in the middle of the silent night sky of Beizhou Wangcheng, which was strange and oppressive.
Misu's small mouth has opened unconsciously, her pupils have gradually dilated to the extreme, her long eyelashes are curved upward, and her eyes are unblinking. It can be seen that in his jade-clear pupils, a full moon is reflected at this moment, and the concave and convex surfaces of the moon are clearly recognizable, and the ravines seem to be within reach.
"Wow...... It's so big!", Misu sighed unconsciously, however, the immature children's voice, mixed with the noisy noise around them that had not yet ended, did not attract everyone's attention, and was drowned out in an instant.
The next change in the night sky made Misu even more memorable.
He saw that the huge moon, which had been golden yellow, had begun to change color gradually. That's right, the edge of the moon actually began to change, turning an eerie, vivid red. The crimson was now infecting the center of the circle at a considerable speed, starting from the edge.
Misu had never seen a moon of this color, because the crimson seemed to be a color that did not exist in this world at all, and it was eerily and frighteningly red.
After a while, the crimson completely replaced the original golden yellow, and an unprecedented, huge red full moon appeared mysteriously and abruptly in the night sky of the royal city of Beizhou.
At the same time, a strange smell gradually arose in the air, sour and slightly fishy, making people smell disgusting, if anyone has ever been to the East China Sea, or even just within a hundred miles of the East China Sea, they must be able to distinguish it instantly, this strange smell is exactly the same as the breath of the East China Sea.
I don't know from what moment the noise next to the thread began to gradually decrease, and slowly, finally everyone noticed the change in the sky, at this time, no one made a sound, and the surroundings of the thread were as silent as death.
The people of Beizhou Wangcheng all raised their heads at this moment, their eyes widened, and they all opened their mouths in the same way, and they finally saw the strange and huge red full moon in the early winter night of Beizhou on the Five Elements Continent in the year 1032......
Like Misu, the vision in the night sky tonight is destined to be remembered by everyone who is lucky enough to witness it.
......
Old Hedan tightened his brows, and his old and deep gaze fell on the red full moon in the night sky, unable to move away for a long time.
If you stood beside him, you would definitely be able to see that under his wide cuffs at this time, the withered old hands were trembling slightly with excitement.
As the oldest and most senior person in Beizhou Wangcheng, Hedan has gone through countless ups and downs, and has also witnessed countless strange things, which can be described as a long-term experience in the world, but at this time, he is also so out of shape.
Just because he was sure that it was really a color that had never appeared in this world before, he knew better what it would mean if a new color appeared in this world, and that would mean:
The postman crossed the line, and the king of Beizhou is about to appear!
If there is really the crown of the king of Beizhou in the near future, then what is the holy daughter that all the people are looking forward to now......
And just as everyone was looking up at the silent night sky, there was finally movement in the ancient well.
At first, it was only a small sound, like the chirping of cicadas, "buzzing...... Buzz ......".
Even so, around the wellhead, which was as quiet as death at the moment, the sound was enough to draw the attention of some of the people who were closer.
Hedan and the twelve generals, because they were the closest, were the first to notice, and after glancing at each other, they all hurried around the well.
"Gollum...... Grunt ......", still loud, but has become clearer.
Misu's thin arm was a little painful from the crowd, he struggled to free himself from his father's hand, bent down and leaned out, and gradually squeezed through the crack to the well, and finally found a good position after looking for a long time, until he could see everything at the mouth of the well, and then stopped and stood still.
He heard the sound of an adult next to him swallowing saliva, and like most people, his eyes were fixed on the well, as if he had forgotten everything around him.
Gradually, all the nobles and common people turned their attention back from the night sky, and they all unconsciously raised their hearts to their throats.
Time is still moving forward, second by second, it seems to pass very slowly, and people's tension and anticipation are condensed in the air.
