Autumn is coming, winter is coming.

There was a chill in the air, the leaves were falling, the autumn breeze was bleak, and with the biting autumn wind, the world seemed to be so quiet, and the whole night seemed so quiet.

At this time, the Beijing Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Doctor, I don't know if you know, the weather has been very abnormal recently, the snow here in Beijing is heavier than usual, the weather is still so cold, it is not yet winter, this gives people a very dull feeling, gloomy and depressing. The woman said very indifferently, as if she was out of the way, a white dress, swaying with the points, a fairy temperament in this silent night is like a tiger with wings, there is no decoration, some are just the dusty temperament, there is no kind of artificiality of rouge vulgar powder, that delicate face is enough to let those mediocre people be buried under her pomegranate skirt, she is the current Chinese Academy of Sciences, a scholar of the day, Dr. Zhang's protégé Xia Yimu. Next to him was Dr. Zhang.

Dr. Zhang's temper is well-known in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, compared with Xia Yimu, the set of clothes seems very casual, the whole person is not what a doctor should be, he is a bad old man, his clothes are also torn and torn, dirty and not washed, to see Xia Yimu's respectful appearance, obviously, this Dr. Zhang is not simple.

"Yimu, you also feel it, and besides, the daytime is surprisingly short, even in winter, it is not so short. Unfortunately, I don't know what's going to happen right now, but I have a hunch that this is not easy. In the past few days, I have worked hard for you, observing this rooftop phenomenon here, if there is still no one, follow me to find my master, Mu Zili. Dr. Zhang said worriedly. Obviously, the change that happened that day made him worry before before, after all, they still don't know what this change is. "Alas, I'm going to find my master, the master has been in retreat for many years, traveling around the mountains and rivers, I don't know if I can find him, maybe, he has a way, master, if we can find something, then don't bother the master, I hope so, the master said, I don't like anyone to disturb him. Dr. Zhang sighed in his heart.

"Doctor, look, look at that. Xia Yimu was suddenly shocked as if Columbus had discovered a new world.

Dr. Zhang was contemplating but was disturbed by Xia Yimu, he wanted to say that she was stunned, but he unintentionally looked up, but he found a picture that surprised him and couldn't be more surprised, he couldn't help but say in a lost voice, "That...... Is that...... Be...... Nine stars in a row. The body couldn't help but tremble. I almost fainted, but I was held up by Xia Yimu.

Nine star alignment is a very rare astronomical phenomenon, nine planets in their respective orbits around the sun constantly, their orbit size is different, the speed and period of the operation is not the same, usually they walk in different regions of the solar system, but after a certain period of time, the nine planets will run to the side of the sun at the same time, converge in a small angle of the fan region, people call this phenomenon "alignment", generally speaking, the more the number of planets, the less chance to gather together to form a line.

Not to mention the "nine-star alignment", that is, there are very few planetary alignments, and the most recent seven-star alignment is only May 20, 2000, of course, it is a gradual process, which began on May 5th, in addition to Uranus and Neptune, the other seven planets of the solar system are also connected with this time, however, it is a seven-star alignment, and now, what they see is a nine-star alignment, how can they not be shocked?

"Yimu, I didn't dream, that is...... Nine stars, nine stars. Dr. Zhang couldn't stand on his feet at all, and went directly to the ground, Xia Yimu seemed to know the nature of this Dr. Zhang, so he didn't help him, and he just sat on the ground, now, how can Dr. Zhang have the appearance of a little doctor, like an old naughty boy, obviously shocked by this nine-star alignment. In contrast, Xia Yimu was very calm when she arrived, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

Suddenly, Dr. Zhang seemed to think of something, and silently recited: "It seems that even this nine-star alignment has appeared, it is really a natural change, master, it seems that this apprentice has to go to you, in this world, something will happen, Yi Mu, go home quickly, tomorrow, we will go to my master together." ”

Xia Yimu's family

Xia Yimu was like a shelled insect at this time, lying on the sofa exhausted, quietly pondering the changes that occurred in the necklace on her body when the Nine Stars appeared, the pendant on the necklace before was ordinary and could not be more ordinary, very old, just a piece of wood, no gems, nothing, only not much, there was her "Mu" on it The word, it was given to her by her grandfather, she was an orphan, she was brought up by her grandfather since she was a child, and then her grandfather died, and she gave her this chain before she died, she knew that her grandfather was very poor, and there was nothing for her, and this necklace was also obtained by chance, so she left this, although it was not beautiful, but it was also grandpa's heart, so although it was very common, she also wore it until now. However, when the nine stars were aligned, the pendant emitted a refreshing fragrance, because of Dr. Zhang's presence at that time, she couldn't see it, and now, Xia Yimu directly took it off and played with it in her hand.

Now, the original black wood on the pendant,

There was a burst of aroma, purple-red, silver shining in the light, the surface showed a satin-like luster, with a fine cloth, that was rosewood, there was a gem on it, it was a purple gem, and the color of the wood reflected each other, very smooth, at a glance, there was no trace of inlay, the purple gem and rosewood seemed to be fused together, the whole pendant has been changed from the previous incredible, the only thing that remains unchanged is the word "Mu" on it.

Xia Yimu was also very shocked, even more shocked than when she saw the Nine Stars Alignment, but she quickly turned around. "I don't know what this pendant has to do with the natural mutation, when the time comes, I feel that it seems to have a lot to do with it, grandpa, I don't know what the secret is, I know that this is also what you picked up, naturally I don't know the secret here, but it doesn't matter, I will untie it step by step, grandpa, you watch me from the sky, bless me, I won't have an accident." Xia Yimu said in pieces.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xia Yimu thought that she would go to his master with Dr. Zhang tomorrow, thinking about the strange phenomenon of the nine-star alignment and her own pendant, thinking about it, she fell asleep, and soon, the sky was bright.

The next day, the Beijing Astronomical Institute.

Xia Yimu is wearing a sportswear today, it seems that it is because Dr. Zhang said that he was looking for his master yesterday, a black sportswear, which is spotless, and the bright black makes her face a little fairer, the original loose sportswear is more suitable for her than anyone else, it is simply tailor-made, compared to the white dress, this dress makes her more playful, with a steady step, walking lightly like an elf, and came to Dr. Zhang's office.

Dr. Zhang's office.

"Knock knock" Xia Yimu knocked on the door, "I said don't bother, I'll talk about it tomorrow." There was a hint of anger in Dr. Zhang's words, obviously not knowing that it was Xia Yimu who knocked on the door. Xia Yimu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Dr. Zhang, you just said yesterday that you wanted me to go with you to find the master, why don't you go now? If it disturbs your rest, Yimu will leave." "It's Yimu, I'm so sorry, I thought it was other ignorant students who came to ask questions, come in." ”

As soon as Xia Yimu entered the door, she found that in addition to Dr. Zhang in this office, there was also a bad old man, lazily leaning on the sofa, wearing tattered clothes, his hands were covered with calluses, his face was covered with wrinkles, his hair was also gray, and there were scars of different sizes on his hands and feet, which was a very bad feeling with people.

Dr. Zhang seemed to see Xia Yimu in a large number of old people, so he said, "Yimu, this is my master Mu Zili." Suddenly, I thought that I would also introduce myself to the master, "Master, this is my proud protégé Xia Yimu." "Dr. Zhang, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted me to find your master with you, why is your master here now?" Xia Yimu glanced at the question. Dr. Zhang smiled and said, "My master saw the phenomenon of the Nine Stars last night, and knew that there was a natural change, and something unknown happened, and yesterday, after you went home, he rushed here." "I see, Senior Muzi Li. "Well, I came yesterday for this rare astronomical phenomenon of the Nine Stars alignment, and I don't have time to listen to you here about anything that has nothing to do with it. Senior Mu Zili looked impatient, as if this was a waste of his precious time. Dr. Zhang was also embarrassed and said, "Then let's talk about this nine-star alignment, master, what do you see." ”

"Presumably, you also know that the phenomenon of the nine-star alignment is very rare, rare in the world, the one in 2000 is only the seven-star alignment, I think the nine-star alignment is not simple, you should also know the planetary alignment, then there is not much explanation, I have a hunch, this is just the beginning, just like the eve of the storm, and with my understanding, the nine-star alignment will not disappear within nine days, and to the tenth day, I am afraid that more strange things will appear, everyone be mentally prepared. Senior Mu Zili said very worriedly, and when it came to the back, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Xia Yimu didn't even know this situation, and hurriedly helped him and said, "What is this more bizarre thing, can the seniors know." At this time, Dr. Zhang, who was contemplating, heard Yi Mu's words, and without waiting for Senior Mu Zili to say, he said, "Master, is it ...... Be...... Blood...... Moon, blood moon, it is said that the blood moon is in the world, the heavens and the earth are chaotic, and something big will happen. "It may or may not be, that won't be known until the tenth day." Xia Yimu said suspiciously: "What is the blood moon?" "This, we can't explain it, you go to the Internet to check, after all, this blood moon, because it hasn't appeared for a long, long time, so many people don't know, and we only know a little bit." ”

"A blood moon, in layman's terms, is a spectacle when a red moon appears in the sky.

The red moon generally appears when a total lunar eclipse occurs, which is the thick atmosphere that absorbs the purple, blue, green, and yellow light, leaving only the red light to penetrate through, and the red moon of the total lunar eclipse is the same reason, of course, people refract the red light onto the surface of the moon, so we can still see the red moon hanging high in the sky in the shadow of the earth.

If the moon changes color, there will be disasters, green for hunger and worry, red for fighting and soldiers, yellow for virtue and joy, white for drought and mourning, black for water, people die of disease. Xia Yimu didn't think about it, and said in one go, there was no need to look up information on the Internet.

"How do you know so much detail?" said Senior Mu Zili in surprise.

"This, my master knows, I am very interested in particularly strange things, and this blood moon is also one of them, so naturally I have studied it. Xia Yi said lightly. "This is what my aunt told me, she told me a lot about the blood moon when I was a child, but, forget it, I can't tell them my aunt's identity, it seems that I have to take leave to go to my aunt's tomorrow." ”

At the same time, another world, the Stygian Continent, the Xia family.

A skinny girl was beaten with a stick, and there were servants next to her, no one went up to plead, looking at your girl's skin and flesh, the force under the stick also increased a little, and a richly dressed girl next to her scolded a little slut, and said with a hideous smile: "You will be 16 in a few months, if you can't cultivate, then you will be expelled from our Xia family, even if the Xia family elders and patriarchs are protected, when the time comes, haha." ”
