Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Ancient Testament
entrusted Gao Zhan's affairs, Song Yi felt relieved, although he did not have a good impression of Gao Zhan and others, but for the sake of Gao's father and Gao Cheng's face, Song Yi was still willing to do this favor, and let them take Gao Zhan out of the quagmire of Fengyi Court.
The moon unconsciously walked to the zenith, the night was deeper, the three of them chatted for a while, Gao's father was tired, Gao Cheng was weak, and it was more difficult to support, so Song Yi said goodbye and went back to the courtyard where he lived to rest.
Accident, but also solved the ownership of the Du Lu pot at will, Song Yi felt a solid heart, took a bath, he lay on the bed, recalling today's everything, only to feel that this day seemed to be as long as a whole year, Rao was also a little overdrawn, so he fell asleep, dreamless all night.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and it was very quiet all around, as if nothing had happened. Song Yi was a little lazy, and he was not in a hurry, so he simply leaned on the head of the bed and flipped through the books sent by Gao Cheng last night.
I don't know when this book was written, if it is really the work of Gao Yandie's contemporaries, it should have been a long time ago. Song Yi slowly opened the pages of the book, saw that the paper was slightly yellow, and the handwriting on it was pitch black, and then looked closely, only to find that the material of the book was not paper, but a kind of thing that seemed to be silk and like tree bark, smooth and weighty, and had excellent toughness, no wonder it could be well preserved to this day.
Song Yi looked at the past page by page, the beginning was some gossip, and then began to record someone's travels, including a paragraph that reads:
"When I heard that the gentleman had studied the matter of demonic breath, I had the idea of visiting him and asking him for advice in person. However, the story of him is equally mysterious, and all that remains in the world is a few vague rumors, and even whether he is still alive or where he has settled is widely discussed. In desperation, I could only look for it everywhere, thinking in my heart that he must still be alive, and that there would always be a place where he really lived. ”
Seeing this, Song Yi came to his senses, sat up straight, and read carefully.
What follows is the record of the writer searching for "that gentleman" everywhere, and Song Yi skimmed through it at a glance until he saw this narrative.
“...... It took me almost four years to walk through the places where the legend said he might have stayed, and yet, with each passing place, my heart felt a strong sense of loss, because these places were not his abode, or even where he had stayed in the past, did he really not exist? After all, the study of the Devil's Breath has been depressed for many years, and there has been no trace of the Devil's Breath for many years, and the last time someone actually said that maybe the Devil's Breath is extinct, and it will not have any impact on people's lives - they will be lucky, if they don't figure out this problem, it will be nice to have a really powerful one day. ”
The last goal...... Song Yi's heart moved, and he hurriedly turned to the next page.
"Although the location of the last hope is remote, it is much safer than those previous treacherous places, and when I arrived slowly with the mentality of giving up, I really saw a courtyard in my sight, and I immediately rushed over. As far as I can see, this courtyard should be inhabited, and there are traces of life everywhere. I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered, so I simply turned my heart on the side and dared to climb over the wall of the courtyard. ”
"There was no one in the room, and I found a few manuscripts on the desk in the study, with a few strange graphics drawn on them, and full of words written next to them, but I didn't recognize them when I looked at them horizontally and vertically, and I couldn't tell which Chinese language they were. I suddenly had a strong feeling that this must be the place I was looking for, and that the owner of this room was the person I was looking for! Standing in his study, I was so excited that I almost danced with my hands, and suddenly, as if I heard something, my hairs stood on end, and I couldn't stop shaking!"
"I don't understand what's wrong with me, why I'm so scared? How could my body suddenly be so scared? My mind was at a loss, and I could only vaguely recognize that the sound was coming from the sky, and it sounded so high that it was like a thunderstorm, and I listened to it as if there was no sound at all, and I was sure that I could still hear the sound of the wind outside the window—the wind was so faint that it seemed to whisper, and I could clearly catch it, what was the sound on the top of the sky?"
"With this doubt, I walked out of the house, looked up, and almost lost my soul with fright, the sun that was still shining brightly was obscured by something, and a small half of the full round ball of light became pitch black, and the black shadow became bigger and bigger, more and more obvious, as if a huge eyeball had opened in the infinite sky, and completely swallowed the sun! The surroundings fell into darkness for a moment, as if they had fallen into a miserable hell......
This is...... Solar eclipse?
Song Yi read the description in the book while describing the scene in his mind, and after thinking about it, it seemed that only the solar eclipse was right. However, there is no "sound" from the eclipse, and the writer makes it clear that he heard a certain sound, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
With this curiosity, Song Yi continued to look down.
"I stared at the sky, dumbfounded, the sun had completely disappeared, the position of the sun had become a pitch-black hole, as if it could suck people's souls into it, then I heard the voice sound again, no, it should be said that it has not disappeared, but at this moment, its sense of existence suddenly became extremely strong, so strong that I couldn't bear it, I felt that the sound was like a poisonous snake, burrowing into my brain, gnawing at my brain marrow, making my whole person almost crazy!"
"I covered my head and rolled in pain on the grass, hoping that the sound would stop quickly, but it kept roaring, I struggled to look at the sky, and found that there was a trace of black gas overflowing around the black hole, entangled and hovering, slowly falling, and I thought of the magic breath in my mind, yes, it was the magic breath, too familiar, I was too familiar with them! I have been chasing it for the past four years, looking for the people who have studied it the most, and I have also come into contact with their traces once or twice, but I did not expect ......"
"I stared at the sky, and the dark magic breath fell one by one, hovering and dancing in the air, like a waterfall falling from the sky. I had never seen such a terrible scene, it was not that the sky was leaking, but that the gates of hell were quietly opened, and the magic breath was swarming, and I was in the center of hell struggling weakly, and at that moment, I really thought that I was going to die there. ”
"However, once again it was beyond my expectation, and just when I thought it was already the most terrible scenario, the black hole on the zenith suddenly flickered a few times, and I saw the wisps of white light passing through it, and suddenly a strong premonition of terror arose in my heart--at that moment, just when I was tormented by the terrible sound and the strange scene, my mind seemed to be connected to something, and suddenly opened, sharp and clear-- I realized that I didn't want to die, I didn't deserve to die here, I had to go home and do my duty!"
"The thought forced me to my feet, and began to stumble outward, with all my might! As I ran, I looked back at the black hole, and to my horror found that its position seemed to be lowered, and it was falling from the sky, and the target was this courtyard! It slowly descended, and fell lower and lower, and I felt that I had burst with more strength than I had ever done before, and I ran faster than ever, and yet the distance between me and it was irreversibly getting closer and closer......
Finally, it fell, and out of the corner of my eye, I could see that the black hole on the zenith was like a giant hammer, silently, but with a heavy slam into the roof, and the dark sky disappeared completely from my sight, and the wandering magic breath seemed to envelop me, and everything fell into the infinite darkness. I felt empty under my feet, but my body rose twice, as if I had fallen into the water, fluttering in a panic, I didn't think about anything at that time, I couldn't care about anything, I only looked in the direction of the distance, and moved forward desperately!"
“...... I don't know how long it has been, maybe I've lost consciousness a long time ago, or maybe I've been trying to move outwards and finally break free from this terrifying darkness. In short, when I came to my senses, I found myself lying on a hillside, the clouds were light and the wind was light, the sun was bright, and the mountain flowers were blooming beside me. I sat up and found that I was unharmed, and I couldn't help but look around, suspecting that I had a dream, but in fact I didn't find any courtyard, and I didn't experience any terrible scenes, that was ridiculous, wasn't it, in fact, it wasn't ......"
I subconsciously patted my chest, and my hand suddenly stopped...... I found a few pieces of paper hidden in my chest, and I shuddered and pulled them out, and it dawned on me that it was not a dream—it was a manuscript in the study: strange graphics, words I didn't recognize—and when I went out to check on the strange voice, I took them into my arms. ”
"It's not a dream. I stood up and walked in the direction of the courtyard in my memory, over a hill, and when I saw the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel cold. The courtyards and houses had been razed to the ground by some force, and there was hardly a trace of it, and the whole ground was devoid of any smoke or war, as if it had been such a desert since ancient times, and it stayed alone in the middle of the rich plains and pastures. ”
"I looked at it for a moment, and ran madly over this little wasteland, trying in vain to find the courtyard I remembered, but there was nothing, everything was gone, the timber that built the courtyard, the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, the large stones by the water tank, the ginger curtains...... All of them were shattered into dregs, mixed together, and became a desert. I stopped looking, I felt empty in my heart, an indescribable sense of terror seized me, and I vaguely felt that I had witnessed something terrible. ”
"What is the black hole on the zenith?Has anyone else seen it appear and land?Why did so many breaths fall from the sky at the same time as it appeared?What does it mean for this black hole to fall?Why did this courtyard become the target of the black hole?Where did the breaths go, and how did the black hole disappear?Is the owner of the courtyard really the person I'm looking for?Where is he now, has he been wiped out by the black hole, or is he hiding again?and...... Was this change of sight completely real, or did I add my own fantasies to my fear?"
