007, Moonlit Night Man Wolf (I)
After dinner in mid-autumn, it is customary to admire the moon, but the clouds were very dense that night, and only a faint light could be seen in a certain direction in the sky. Zhuang Ru stood on the balcony and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't see the moon." There was some sadness in the words.
Bai Shaoliu changed the topic and said: "There should be a big tide in the full moon, and the tide will also ebb and out. ”
Zhuang Ru: "Then you can go to the sea tomorrow to play, if you don't get it, you can pick up sea objects and bring them back to cook." ...... By the way, can you swim?"
Bai Shaoliu: "Can I swim? I was born with water sex! My grandmother said that I must have been a fish in my last life." ...... I'm not bragging to you, as long as I have food and drink, I can stay in the water for three days and three nights without going ashore. ”
Zhuang Ru was finally amused by him: "Xiaobai, are you serious? Then you will go to the beach tomorrow to swim, and it is just right to relax." After mid-autumn, the sea will start to cool...... No matter how good your water is and how good you are, you still have to pay attention to safety. ”
......
Just when Zhuang Ru and Xiaobai were talking about the sea, there were two people standing quietly on a trestle bridge in a park by the sea in Wuyou City. The long trestle juts out into the sea, and the only sound is the crashing of the waves on all sides. The Wind Gentleman folded his hands and looked up at the sky, and there was a plate on the ground in front of him, and in the middle of the plate were placed oranges, pomegranates, moon cakes and other offerings. His wife, Xiao Yunyi, watched him quietly not far behind him, and did not make a sound to disturb.
The husband is a very individual person in Xiao Yunyi's eyes, such as the habit of worshipping the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, rain or shine. Fortunately for tonight, the moon was obscured by thick clouds, and it was deserted for people who did not admire the moon on the beach. I remember that the Mid-Autumn Festival gentleman also worshipped the moon here the year before last, it was a sunny day, and there were many people on the beach to admire the moon. The Wind Gentleman bowed down to the moon in the surprised gaze of so many people, bowing respectfully three times and nine times, completely ignoring the surprise and whispering of the people around him.
There is a more magical side to the wind gentleman, that is, every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as he kneels on the ground, the moon in the sky will always appear. Whether it's windy or rainy, a round round will emerge from the gap in the clouds at that moment, as was the case last year. Feng Junzi has had this habit since he was a child, long before he married Xiao Yunyi. Feng Junzi never explained why, and Xiao Yunyi simply didn't ask.
Today was a cloudy and almost overcast day, with a full cloud cover covering the entire sky, and a faint light spot in the clouds should be in the direction of the moon. The Wind Gentleman was facing that direction, and Xiao Yunyi knew that as long as he knelt down, the moon would come out of the gap between the two clouds, and the moonlight would definitely shine on the Wind Gentleman's body.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps from the other end of the trestle, and a young man strode over until he reached the very end of the trestle, and his position was one step forward to the sea. What did this man do? Did he jump into the sea? This man did not jump into the sea, and his expression in the darkness was extremely restless, and he scratched his chest with his hands and looked up at the sky, looking at the direction of the moon behind the clouds.
The Wind Gentleman remained silent, but Xiao Yunyi frowned. The man was standing in an unfortunate position, just in front of the Wind Gentleman, and if the Wind Gentleman knelt down, he would be bowing down to him. The Wind Gentleman also knew that he was waiting there with his motionless hands clasped together. And the man didn't mean to leave for a while, but paced back and forth uneasily not far in front of the wind gentleman, and there was a heavy wheezing sound from his mouth and nose.
Feng Junzi did not move or speak, maintaining the posture of clasping his hands together and preparing to bow down, Xiao Yunyi was a little anxious but it was difficult to say - the park was not opened by their family, and anyone could come to this place. The man turned back and forth for a long time, like a wolf at half past four in the afternoon in the zoo, and finally saw that something was wrong with a man and a woman on the trestle, and he also saw the action of the wind gentleman respectfully clasping his palms and waiting, and then he felt that the position he was standing in was not suitable. He walked back for a while to Xiao Yunyi's side behind the Wind Gentleman, gasped and asked, "Can I yell at the moon a few times?"
Xiao Yunyi: "Can you wait? Wait for my husband to finish worshipping the moon." ”
As they spoke, the Wind Gentleman was already on his knees, his hands on the ground and his forehead pressed against the ground. Miraculously, the clouds in the sky suddenly accelerated in the flow of the clouds at high altitude, and a round moon revealed a complete round in the gaps in the clouds at this time. The sudden moonlight shone down, and all the sounds around it were silent, as if even the waves were no longer crashing against the reef.
As soon as the moon came out, the man's expression became very manic, and he turned sharply to look up at the sky and opened his mouth as if to shout. At this moment, the Wind Gentleman bowed down, and a faint layer of floating mist seemed to float through the low sky, and the moonlight flashed lightly, as if the shadow in the moon had disappeared and turned into a pure round of Xuanguang. The man opened his mouth and did not shout, as if the action of the Wind Gentleman bowing down had forced his restlessness back with an invisible pressure or a reassuring force.
The Wind Gentleman knelt on the ground and knocked three times, then stood up again and clasped his palms together. Feng Junzi was together, the man's face changed again, he became very anxious, he reached out through his clothes and scratched his chest and opened his mouth to shout again. However, then the wind gentleman knelt down again, and three more knocks, and the man's cry was swallowed back hard. If so, the third one, the gentleman of the wind has finished three bows and nine knocks according to the ancient rites, and stands up. The man's manic mood had almost worn off, but his breathing was still suppressed and heavy, and his eyes were red and he looked up at the sky again, and the moon had once again disappeared behind the clouds.
The man glanced at the sky, turned away with a strange look, and said nothing. Xiao Yunyi took a large paper bag with him, packed up the fruit offerings on the ground, and said to the Wind Gentleman: "That person is so strange, just now asked me if I could yell at the moon a few times?"
Feng Junzi smiled: "I heard it too, he can roar if he wants to, and the beach is not our home." ”
Xiao Yunyi: "Oh, too, but I still want him to wait, but he didn't shout." ”
Wind Gentleman: "Actually, I really wanted to hear what he was going to shout, but unfortunately he just left." Do you think he is out of love? Shout at the sea -- I love you!"
Xiao Yunyi also smiled: "No, right? I see that he is very manic, like he has something in his heart that he wants to spit out, and he keeps scratching his chest there, as if there is an emotion that wants to rush out." Later, when you worship the moon, every time you worship him, his mania is suppressed by a point. ”
Feng Junzi frowned: "Is that so? I haven't seen this, have you heard of a legend?"
Xiao Yunyi: "What legend?"
Wind Gentleman: "Moonlit night man wolf...... It is said that there is a kind of strange person in the West, which is normal in normal times, but when he sees the full moon, he will turn into a wolf, forgetting that he is a dark creature with great sanity and fierceness. ”
Xiao Yunyi: "Husband, don't scare me...... You just said weirdos, why don't you say monsters?"
Feng Junzi: "They are originally human, but they have a wolf-like beast nature lurking in their hearts, and when the superficial self-consciousness control collapses, the beast nature will act." So they're weirdos and not monsters. ”
Xiao Yunyi shuddered with fright, and involuntarily held Feng Junzi's arm tightly: "Aren't these things Western legends? Could you mean that person was a werewolf just now? How could he appear in the Zhixu Kingdom?......
Wind Gentleman: "Just kidding, what kind of werewolf is there? ”
Xiao Yunyi: "When I heard you, I thought that the person just now was really a bit similar." How do you think these things got out?"
......
While the Wind Gentleman was worshipping the moon by the sea, a priest in a church not far from the park was preaching to a group of believers in the audience: "The Lord said to Moses, 'You must have no other gods but me. ...... You shall not bow down to the images of the heavens and the earth, nor serve them, for I am your only God. ’......”
The priests preached the content of the Ten Commandments given by God to the Saint Moses in their Bible, that God is the only God, and that people are not allowed to worship other gods and things. Interestingly, at this time, the Wind Gentleman was bowing to the moon on the distant seashore.
......
Feng Junzi and Xiao Yunyi said as they walked and said that they were almost at the gate of the park, and suddenly the sound of singing in the distant church was heard in the evening breeze. The gentleman of the wind stood and listened attentively, and it was a hymn: "Clapp, all peoples, and cry out to God with a glorious voice." The Lord is the supreme and sovereign King. The Lord has made all nations bow down to us, and the bands under our feet......"
Xiao Yunyi saw that the gentleman suddenly stopped and didn't speak, and asked on the side: "What about asking you, tell me quickly, how did those things escape?"
While listening to the hymn, the Wind Gentleman replied thoughtfully: "God said that there should be light, and so there was light." It is wonderful that the light appears, but since then there is also darkness in the shadows. It seems to be a law of balance. ”
The Wind Gentleman was talking about mysterious things again, and Xiao Yunyi asked with great interest, "What do you mean?"
Feng Junzi: "If we must say that the light was created by God, then the darkness must also be created by God, and God cannot run left or right. Hell is the cornerstone of heaven, and if there is no hell, there is no heaven. ”
Xiao Yunyi: "Someone should have gone to hell...... You don't seem to be interested in these theories?"
Wind Gentleman: "Yes, there are many people who should go to hell, and the question is who decides?...... In fact, in a way, I still appreciate this theory, heaven and hell are chosen by each person, just like we often say, 'those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid'. The human world is between heaven and hell, and standing here you can see both heaven and hell. ”
