Tie day

"The sun has caught!"

People rushed to tell each other.

The sun shone on them, warm. People all over the world, everywhere they can see, there is a rope that stretches straight into the halo of the sun.

The other end of the rope was tied to the inner courtyard of the palace, and no one could see the scene there. The people only knew that three months ago, a group of wizards came from the other side of Daze. In the rumor, a leading witch made a statement in front of the emperor, saying that if you worship me as a national teacher, we will use magic to tie the sun for you, which can increase the yield of the world's acres by five points.

The Emperor laughed, "If you can do it, I will give you this son to sit on." ”

The Great Witch shook his head, "That's not necessary, Your Majesty's seat is not very strong, and I can't afford this old bone." ”

Hearing this, the emperor felt uncomfortable and moved his chair. As soon as the posture changed, the dragon chair, which had already expired in service, suddenly clicked and fell apart, and the emperor fell on his ass. When he stood up, he couldn't laugh.

Therefore, the decree will soon spread throughout the world, and within three months, the sun will be pulled by this dynasty. This is a great thing, and it has been done in the present and in the future, and I hope that everyone can work together to help Dawu at any cost. Chin this.

The wizards collected 50,000 pieces of hemp rope from the countryside, and it took ten days to knot them together. But the hemp rope was so weak that it just flew up from the ground and broke when the wind blew. The wizards transferred another 100,000 horses of silk from Jiangnan, and the girls in Jiangnan complained that they couldn't cut new clothes. But the silk, though flexible and flexible, burned as soon as it approached the sun.

In the end, the wizards grabbed ninety-nine eighty-one giant spiders from the reckless 80,000 mountains and twisted them into a rope with the spider silk they spit. This rope flew up from under the roots of the imperial city, over the mountains and over the sea, through the clouds and through the stars, click, and tied to the waist of the sun.

How the sun feels about this, we don't know. Anyway, the emperor smiled, and the ministers also smiled.

The Great Witch was indeed worshiped as a national teacher. His prediction was correct, and within three months of the sun, all the crops were growing wonderfully, and the supply of agricultural products was abundant, except for the sunflowers, which were a little confused and refused to bear seeds. Even the crime rate has dropped: in broad daylight, the little thieves have to weigh themselves.

Soon, the holy decree spread all over the world: the people of this dynasty no longer have to be threatened by famine, and this dynasty will rule the world for thousands of generations, all relying on the wisdom and martial arts of the Holy Son of Heaven. Chin this.

The people of the world celebrated with their hands, and the great witch looked out with a pergola in the newly built National Teacher's Mansion, and his eyes were full of happy people. Even if the wizards also announced that the ancient books only recorded the art of binding the sun, but did not write how to untie the rope, no one cared. The Great Witch is proud: his name will go down in history.

Only the stargazers made a little insignificant protest, which was quickly drowned out.

Three years after holding the Sun, things started to look a little wrong.

The problem is not in the disappearing spring, autumn and winter, if you are so afraid of heat, you can shake the fan more. The problem is not that in the Yellow River Basin, which has been flooding for many years, only that little population has been affected, and it is not enough to leave their hometowns? Filling your stomach, these are minor problems.

The problem is in a very subtle place. At that time, during those three months, in order to ensure that everyone obediently cooperated with the Great Witch, a rumor spread out out of nowhere, saying that tying the sun would tie up time, and from then on, the people of the Holy Dynasty would be able to say goodbye to the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death. For the sake of immortality, many talents are enthusiastically involved in this matter.

However, after three years, people gradually found that the age of the elder is still growing, and sunbathing too much accelerates aging.

Not only that, but the number of people with insomnia is increasing year by year. Although the supply of cotton is abundant, the price of cotton cloth has increased instead of falling, but even if two or three layers of thick curtains are hung, it is still too bright.

It's so bright. With such a big sun hanging in the middle of the sky, who can sleep?

People who have insomnia are miserable, and people who don't have insomnia are in danger, for fear that tonight - if you can still call the night - the person who is in a daze with his eyes open is himself.

Insomniacs form a group and declare that they want to let the sun go. The young man in the lead shouted hoarsely, saying that after so many years of sunrise and moonset, haven't we also lived to this day? Now without this everlasting sun, why can't we live? If the sun hangs there, we won't be able to live first!

However, this sun has spent countless manpower and material resources to pull, and now it is really shining again, bringing everyone a harvest that has never been seen before, how can it be let go casually?

So the group was banned. The young man who shouted the loudest was imprisoned on charges of incitement.

Dawu, who is now a national teacher, heard about this incident and personally went to the prison to reform him. At the first glance of this young man, the national teacher didn't see what he looked like at all, only saw two huge black circles under his eyes.

The young man stared at him with the dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Can you sleep at night?" ”

The national teacher could have slept. That night, he tossed and turned in bed, and when he closed his eyes, he felt that a giant panda was chasing him.

The next day, he personally took the young man out of prison, announced that he had been reformed, and that he would do his best to serve the Holy Pilgrimage in the future, and accepted him as a disciple of his own lineage.

In the seventh year of holding the sun, the national teacher wrote that after the arduous study of him and his disciples, he found a way to cut the long rope and let the sun go. He also declared that as long as the emperor allowed it, he could do it at once wherever he was in the imperial city.

This incident immediately aroused a warm response from the palace. The national teacher was stripped of his official position overnight, kicked out of the imperial city, and brought his disciples with him. The holy decree said that these two people were to confuse the people, and they were never allowed to set foot in the imperial city again, otherwise they would be kicked to the gallows.

If you ask the people who are said to have been deceived by their fallacies, the vast majority of them will answer, "What?" And what's going on? ”

Fortunately, no one really asked these people one by one, so there was still not much among the people who knew.

So, when the tenth year of the solar calendar came, people thought that the rope would never be untied again.

At first, it was just one or two stargazers who suggested that the sun seemed to be getting closer. These people are soft-spoken, and everyone thinks that they have been blind after watching the sun for too long after changing their careers to observe the sun.

But soon, more stargazers began to notice that something was wrong. Later, even ordinary people began to think, is the sun too big? Isn't it too hot lately?

The Emperor summoned all the stargazers and shamans and came to the conclusion that the sun was setting towards them. Even if you cut the rope now, it's useless. No one can say why. Maybe the sun has been tied for too long, the angular momentum has returned to zero, and it can't move.

In short, the end is coming. The sun was getting closer and hotter to the ground day by day, until it scorched people's hairs.

People began to flee. The palace, which has been as quiet as a chicken since the sun set, issued another decree prohibiting homeless people from walking, riding in cars, boats, swimming, and flying across the border. Not much listened to it this time. But no matter where you flee, the sun will always be so big, so dazzling, and the sun shines on every head equally.

One day, while eating ice at home, the Governor of the Coast received a message that someone had rowed out to sea with the intention of fleeing. Although there was a holy decree prohibiting leaving the country, the situation along the coast could be said to be repeated and prohibited, and every day or two, someone would be caught and beheaded.

The Governor was annoyed, he didn't want to go. He had just eaten two bites of ice, and it was about to melt when he returned. But if he doesn't go, he will be the one who will be beheaded. So he had to take his officers and soldiers out to sea to hunt down.

When he saw the little sampan, the governor could not help but sneer: even if they did not come, the "ship" would be overturned by the waves in less than an hour. At that time, the guy who had no ice to eat would be buried in the belly of the fish.

His boat got closer, wanting to see what the reckless man looked like. When he finally saw it clearly, he was taken aback: a few years ago, when he was still in Beijing, he had seen this reckless young man, who was a disciple of the national teacher at that time.

Now he didn't have the demeanor of a disciple of a national teacher, his hair was scattered, his eyes were blank, he muttered to himself to a god on the sampan, and suddenly raised his arms, looking like a madman: "O goddess! Disciple is willing to sacrifice his life, please descend on the sea! ”

The Governor snorted. If he was a goddess, he would not have come to such an occasion.

It's a pity he's not.

So everyone saw that a Maiden fairy came by treading water. She was so beautiful and so great that everyone was stunned.

She asked softly, "Child, what are you calling me to do?" ”

Young people's dark circles have gotten heavier over the years. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the sun. Now, the sun is close enough to occupy half of the sky.

The fairy turned her head to look, nodded, and snapped her fingers, her fingers as long as chicken feet.

As the snapping of the fingers fell, everyone in the world was amazed to find that the water had come out of nowhere and had come up on the land, over the feet, knees, and thighs, and then stopped.

The mother was anxious to pick up the child from the water; The naughty doll licked it and shouted "This water is salty!" ", and was slapped by his father; More people jumped onto stools, tables and cabinets, staring blankly at each other.

Only those who climbed onto the roof saw the sun suddenly and rapidly set. They screamed loudly, feeling the blazing wind of the sun on their cheeks.

On the roof of an unknown farmer, only the eldest son of the family was still open, not stunned. He watched as the sun set down on him, and the more he set, the smaller it became.

Finally, the sun fell under his nose and fell into the yard of his house. A large goose on the fence quacked in shock. He rubbed his eyes, and the sea began to flow again, and in the blink of an eye, the sun was carried away by the current.

The water level began to fall, and it fell very quickly. The water became very hot, as if there was a stove underground, boiling this sea. If the water is still as high as it was just now, then the people who are still standing in the water will look like dumplings that have been boiled. When the last drop of water receded from the land, it seemed to be bubbling and about to boil.

The young man noticed that the fairy's hand had an extra glass of water. A cup of boiling water. There is a yellow egg yolk in the water.

The fairy took the water, smiled softly, and said, "Son, come with me." ”

He nodded vigorously. As soon as the fairy beckoned, he followed her lightly, and Ling Bo left.

The last decree was issued in the palace overnight: In the past ten years, the Son of Heaven has neglected to believe in witches, resulting in disasters for the world. Fortunately, the number of vitality is not exhausted, and now the Son of Heaven is repentant and has turned the tide, and I hope everyone will work hard to add food. Chin this.

The next day, a sun rose in the east. New sun.
