Chapter Eighty-Three: Fire Trees and Silver Flowers, Heavenly Fire Flourishing
On the other side of the mountain, I don't know the wonders here.
For the time being, what they see is only the occurrence of a lunar eclipse.
At this time, it was very late, and everyone was a little sleepy, yawning for days, and just when the sleepy insects attacked, the effort finally paid off.
"Hurry, hurry! Cheer up, the lunar eclipse has appeared! โ
With Song Yufei's full voice, everyone was excited, and hurriedly looked over with binoculars.
Sure enough, next to the originally bright moon, a black shadow suddenly appeared, which seemed to have been dormant for a long time, devouring the moon's light little by little.
The full moon suddenly lost a corner, as if it had been bitten off, and then the black shadow grew larger and larger, like thick ink, spreading to the entire moon.
The speed of the black shadow devouring was very fast, and the moon was only half left, and after more than half an hour, only the crescent moon like a sickle remained, until it was finally completely engulfed.
With no trace of the moon, the sky suddenly became pitch black, and even the light of the stars disappeared completely.
The sky seemed to be shrouded in a black curtain, without any light, and it was so heavy that everyone could barely breathe.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath, and no one spoke.
The process of lunar eclipse is divided into five stages: initial loss, eclipse, eclipse, rebirth, and recirclement.
Soon it will be time to generate light.
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, under the black curtain, a red shadow finally appeared, and the red brilliance loomed.
Song Yufei subconsciously looked at the time, "That's not right." โ
The originally silent atmosphere was suddenly broken, and everyone was a little confused, "What's wrong?" โ
"It's not the right time to be born, it's too fast."
After Song Yufei's reminder, everyone realized that the time of light seemed to be advanced.
Based on the records observed in previous years, the Observatory is able to calculate the time and process of lunar eclipses, as well as the time points at which each phase occurred.
Even if there is a deviation, it should not be big, and this time it is almost an hour earlier than they predicted!
"yes, even if it's early, the time difference is too big."
There was an instant commotion in the team, and I couldn't understand why it was so much earlier than expected.
Everyone looked at the red shadow above their heads and was puzzled, and fell into a discussion, and finally Liu Mei spoke: "Okay, maybe there is some accident, let's continue to observe first." โ
With doubts, everyone could only continue to look, and soon found that the red light was getting bigger and brighter.
Not only the time is not right, but even the color and shape are not right.
Soon, an object with a red body and an unknown shape appeared in everyone's field of vision!
The people at the observatory were in an uproar, thinking that they were hallucinating, and rubbed their eyes, and the bright object was still hanging in the sky.
"This is the sun?"
How is it possible that the sun appeared on the big night.
The light of the object was getting brighter and brighter, to the point where it could be seen with the naked eye.
"What's going on!"
"Is this a shooting star? But why like a golden rain? โ
The observatory was trying to observe the lunar eclipse phenomenon, but it was interrupted by a sudden unknown object.
The sudden appearance of an unknown glowing object is simply incredible.
Rao is the oldest person in the stage, and he has never seen this happen, and soon everyone's surprise was replaced by shock and excitement.
"No matter what it is, this time it can be regarded as an unexpected gain, such a celestial phenomenon is rare in a hundred years, hurry up and record it and go back to study it well."
It turned out that it was not that the lunar eclipse phenomenon was biased, but that there were other circumstances that obscured the original observation.
Although it is not known why this unknown object suddenly appeared and whether it is related to a lunar eclipse, it is undoubtedly a good object of observation and study.
The crowd regained their spirits and carefully observed the objects in the sky.
The originally dark sky suddenly became brighter, like a signal, and soon countless similar objects appeared in the flash of firelight.
Red and black intertwined, and even the hidden clouds were forced to reveal their true faces.
Everyone was in a trance, as if they wanted to witness the sun rising, but in fact it was only early in the morning.
The black curtain was torn open a huge opening, and countless fires fell from the sky, and the place where they fell was to the northwest, not far from them, and it seemed to be the direction of the next mountain.
It can be observed with the naked eye.
"It's spectacular."
"Why is there a sky fire? What is this phenomenon? โ
"Unheard of!"
"If it weren't for the country, I would even wonder, is this a military thermite bomb?"
At this moment, the sky seemed to be raining fire, and the fireball contained countless golden lights, dragging its long tail in the night sky.
Because the speed is too fast, it even leaves several afterimages in the air, and the golden trail can be vaguely captured.
This rain of fire came so suddenly, burning most of the sky red, and the dark sky was drowned in brilliant light, like fire trees and silver flowers, setting off layer after layer of waves.
The waves are magnificent, and the magnificence is incomparable.
"Look, the rain of fire has fallen on that hill."
Everyone saw that these heavenly fires were like fiery red butterflies, spreading their wings and flying sparklingly, intertwined with golden streamers, inextricably linked, landing in the mountains and forests.
Everyone was fascinated by the bizarre scene in front of them.
It's so beautiful, and the dreamy scene is mixed with indescribable grandeur.
The fire of heaven is in full bloom and descends on the world.
People have to sigh with emotion from the heavens, using the sky as paper, showing such a grand scene to everyone.
โฆโฆ
At the same time, such a scene was too dazzling, and it was also seen by the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
It turns out that there are some villagers who know about the wonder of Tengu eating the moon, and they have not seen it, but this time even the observatory in the city has been dispatched, so they also want to join in the fun.
"Anyway, there is nothing special about the dog eating the moon on this day, I heard that there is a full lunar eclipse every year or two, which is not uncommon. It's also worth those people in the city, and what kind of people from the station moved the crowd to come, and let us wait for so much of the night. โ
"That's an observatory, you know, people have special equipment in their hands for observation, let's just have two pairs of eyes, can this be compared."
"I don't like to hear what you say, they are watching through that telescope, let's use our eyes directly, and there is a program left in the middle."
"You are a crooked reason, so I don't argue with you."
"It's clear that you can't talk about me."
Just as the two villagers were arguing, the village chief yawned, "You guys are really energetic, and now you can see almost it, I'll go back to sleep first." โ
Just as the village chief was about to get up with his little horse za.
"Poofโ"
Xiao Mazha suddenly fell to the ground, and the village chief's eyes stared straight at the sky, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.
"This, this is the fire of the sky!"
The other villagers were also attracted by the village chief's voice and followed his gaze.
I saw that countless fire rains fell from the sky, as if a special golden rain had fallen, reflecting most of the sky.
And the place where I landed is the top of the mountain where the mountain god is located!
โฆโฆ
The people at the observatory were completely shocked, dumbfounded and froze in place, looking up at the sky.
They observed and recorded all kinds of celestial phenomena, but there was never a celestial phenomenon in their minds that could match the number of the scene in front of them.
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that some new astronomical phenomenon is not possible, but why has it never been heard of? โ
"And it didn't cause any fires, and the fires seem to be just a special light source these days?"
"Maybe it's just some natural geological phenomenon that led to this spectacle?"
"It's not quite like it, this day the fire clearly fell from the sky, and it is unlikely that it was caused by geology, but it is not ruled out that the magnetic field on the ground has changed, coupled with this lunar eclipse, so it caused such a phenomenon."
"It doesn't make sense!"
The rain of fire didn't last long, and as the last fireball sank into the forest, the black curtain changed back to its original shape.
The light of the silver moon loomed and returned to the sky, and the lunar eclipse began a new change. Only this time, it was given a lot less attention.
After a long time of discussion, no result was discussed, and some curious people proposed: "Why don't we go to that mountain and have a look?" โ
The place where the fires landed was on the hill next door, and if you know what these fireballs are, you may be able to figure out the cause of this spectacle.
"But what about the lunar eclipse later?"
Song Yufei pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, let's leave some people to continue filming, and some people will go to the place where Tianhuo landed to have a look." โ
This approach was unanimously agreed.
Soon Song Yufei and others went down the mountain to take another mountain road, and they happened to pass by the foot of the mountain, which is where the mountain temple is located.
I found that the temple was full of villagers inside and outside, the lights were bright, and it was as if it was daytime, and the people at the observatory were unknown.
"Why haven't they slept yet?"
It stands to reason that the villagers should have been asleep at this point, but now that everyone is gathered here, such a scene is too strange.
There was no activity in the village, and the villagers had to get up early the next day to do farm work, so the villagers went to bed early, and now it was early in the morning, which was really different from their usual routine.
The villagers looked even more serious, as if they were performing some kind of solemn ceremony.
The village chief also noticed the figures of several people, and their expressions looked a little strange under the illumination of the lights.
"Xiao Song, did you see it too?"
Song Yufei and the others didn't react to what the village chief said at first, and subconsciously asked, "What do you see?" โ
"Heavenly fire! It was the mountain god who was manifesting himself. โ
With that, he had a look on his face that you had made a lot of money.
"You're really lucky, just got here, and you met the manifestation of the mountain god."
It turned out that after the village chief saw such a grand occasion, he beat gongs and drums to wake up the whole village, and gathered in the mountain temple to worship together.
This is the scene that Song Yufei and others saw after going down the mountain.
The people at the observatory looked at each other with a somewhat helpless expression, "Village chief, this is not some mountain god apparition, it should be some kind of special natural celestial phenomenon." And don't you see, this heavenly fire did not cause a fire, it was not a real fire, it was just a natural light source formed by the wonder of heavenly fire. โ
Just as they don't believe what the village chief says, the village chief won't believe what they say.
"Don't be funny, we have lived under the mountain for so long, and we have never seen such a scene, it is definitely the manifestation of the mountain god."
"That's it, so tell me what this phenomenon is?"
Several people at the observatory were speechless, because they really didn't know.
However, seeing that the people at the observatory still wanted to argue about something, but were stopped by Song Yufei, she lowered her voice and said, "There is no need to argue about this. โ
The villagers' beliefs are deep-rooted, how can they change their minds with just a few words.
The village chief looked at them, "By the way, what are you going to do?" Have you already finished your observations? โ
"We want to go up this mountain and see what the hell is in the skyfire."
When the originally kind village chief heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he shook his head directly: "This is not good, you are strangers, and if you enter the mountain so rashly now, you will disturb the mountain god." โ
"The mountain god has just appeared, and now is the time to rest."
The people at the observatory never expected that the villagers would stop them from going up the mountain at this time, and they were suddenly a little anxious.
There was a colleague in the station who was anxious, and he couldn't help but say: "How can this be done, you said that if you don't let you go up the mountain, you won't let it, and this mountain is not your family." โ
Hearing the dispute here, the villagers next to him gradually moved closer to the village chief.
The village chief was justified and persuaded: "Young man, I am for your own good, if you disturb the mountain god, no one can afford it, and it is not safe to go up the mountain in the middle of the night." โ
Song Yufei glanced at the village chief, and there were so many villagers behind him, there were only a few of them, and it was obviously not a wise move to have a conflict at this time.
Moreover, the village chief had let them stay overnight before, so it was reasonable to have a conflict with the villagers.
Song Yufei made a compromise decision, "Village chief, if you don't let us enter the mountain now, then we can always do it tomorrow, if you don't worry, you can still let people follow." โ
The village chief is not an unreasonable person, but the mountain god has just appeared, if this group of outsiders is allowed to break in recklessly, it will inevitably make the mountain god angry, and it will not be good to move to the village when the time comes.
Now that Song Yufei took a step back and proposed tomorrow, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
He grinned, "Xiao Song is still sensible, Na Cheng, tomorrow I will let the villagers take you up the mountain." โ
On the way back, the people at the observatory were obviously a little angry, "Yufei, why are you so easy to talk to, those villagers are too stubborn." โ
"What age are you still engaged in feudal superstition."
Song Yufei smiled.
"Take a step back and open the sky, besides, we have received the love of the village before, and the villagers have taken good care of us, it is not good that there will be a conflict, and it doesn't matter if we wait for one night."
"That being said, I always feel like that."
"Okay, okay, I also think Yufei did the right thing, is it possible that you can still fight ten and single out those villagers."
To be honest, these villagers are still good people except for being a little stubborn about the mountain gods.
After Liu Mei learned about this, she very much agreed with Song Yufei's approach.
"Xiao Song did the right thing, besides, there are so many villagers, we are only a few, and it is wise to avoid unnecessary disputes."
"And the wonder of the heavenly fire is over, there is not much difference between going to investigate now and going tomorrow."
The people at the observatory will have to wait until tomorrow to go to the mountain to see how it is going.
At the same time, the other side.
Ye Qin on the mountain was full of brilliance, and countless golden wires were wrapped in it, forming a huge cocoon, and the appearance of the cocoon was undulating, as if it could breathe.
The inexplicable rhythm seems to traverse the entire mountain and river veins, and it seems that with the ups and downs of the cocoon, the whole mountain and river come to life.
More and more small animals are attracted to it, densely packed, with no end in sight, and their eyes are invariably gathered on the cocoon, like pilgrimage saints, full of piety and respect.
The animals located in the innermost circle, their fur was smoother and brighter, and even the flickering look in the beast's pupils was even more different, obviously these were the first to follow Ye Qin's side.
Naturally, they can't give birth to spiritual wisdom now, and they can't practice, but they have been affected by some subtle influences that have made them more energetic.
Like some kind of miracle descended from the sky, Ye Qin in the cocoon used himself as a bridge and was constantly absorbing the emperor's slurry.
