CHAPTER XXXV

The old woman raised the lantern in front of Guan Ren's eyes, nodded, and motioned for him to lean over to check.

Guan Ren didn't believe it, but it can be seen that the old woman is so frank that she can't help but believe it for a moment or two. He leaned down and put his eyes close to the mouth of the lantern to take a look, but he didn't know that this seemingly ordinary hexagonal lantern was actually a huge world inside, with the scorching sun and the cold moon hanging together.

The morning glow on the side of the sun wheel is like fire, and the clouds around the bright moon are half covered.

The old woman was expressionless, and said hoarsely: "This is the letter?"

Guan Ren is well aware of the truth that seeing may not be believing, and this may not be simple, just as he has also created the realm of consciousness with his mental power, the wind blows the branches, the river blows the waves, and it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real in it, but it is not true in the end. Presumably, Ruyue in this cage also used means, so he boldly said: "Is it a trick made by my mother-in-law?"

The old woman leaned over, looked up at the sky, and said to herself, "There is still some time before dawn." ..... That's it, and it doesn't hurt to call the night half an hour short today. ”

Guan Ren didn't know what the old woman meant by this, but saw her raise the dim lantern high, and the withered five fingers of her left arm beckoned to the sky, and a dry voice sounded: "Come on, come on, go home." ”

The Eight Desolation Stars, the Yinhan Tianhe, dimmed the color in an instant, a faint band of light ran out between the heavens and the earth, and billions of stars merged into the hexagonal lantern picked up by the old woman like a firefly.

In less than half a moment, Zhou Tian Xingdou had all been covered, and the faint old lantern was not half bright.

Guan was shocked in his heart, and without waiting for the old woman to speak, she had already attached herself to the mouth of the lantern to spy on the clues. A moment ago, I was afraid of the old woman, but now I can't scruple about it.

Take a closer look, only to see the vast world in the lantern, and the glow is dense. The sea of stars is dense but orderly, orbiting the sun, among which the seven Big Dippers are the most eye-catching.

Guan Ren was still in shock, and before he came back to his senses, the old woman said quietly: "What, still don't you believe it?"

The person who wanted to speak stopped and could not answer for a while. Most of his heart believed it, but because it was contrary to common sense, he did not dare to believe it.

The old woman said again: "Did you deliberately not believe it this time, or did you not dare to believe it?"

In an instant, the thoughts turned bright, and the more far-reaching the thoughts, the more cold the spine became. The chill was far greater than the fear I felt when I first saw the old woman. It's like an old gentleman who plays tricks, and sets up a curtain in front of you, and conjures up a girl through the cloth, and you must be fake, and the mechanism is all in that curtain. Unexpectedly, the old gentleman set fire to the curtain, so that you could see a living girl grow out of the dust. Such absurdity is contrary to common sense, and for the officials, it is the collapse of a world.

Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and the moon are shining, which is the principle of heaven and earth. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law of the Tao, and the Tao is the law of nature, so it is the rule. But according to what I saw in front of me, the sun, moon and stars between the eight desolations and the six combinations turned out to be following an old woman in her last years. When you want to collect it, you can collect it, and when you want to put it, you can put it. Wouldn't this world be overturned? The ancient sages, who studied the truth of heaven and earth and wrote books and scriptures to educate the people, ended up becoming frogs in the sea, all of which are fallacies.

Guan Ren was full of distracting thoughts for a while, until he thought of a certain possibility, and couldn't help but shiver a few times all over, only to feel extremely cold all over his body, as if he had lost his yang energy, "Since my mother-in-law can control the sun, moon and stars at will, could it be that the whole world is my mother-in-law......'s world of thoughts?

Halfway through the words, Guan Ren was no longer able to continue, so he looked at the old woman in a daze, waiting for him to give an answer.

The old woman wrinkled, showed a miserable smile, and said dryly: "How can a concubine have such a great ability? ”

Guan Ren's heart slowed down when he heard this. In this way, the old woman in front of her also wants to obey people's orders, but I don't know if that 'person' is also a single creature like all living beings, so I asked: "I once read in the book "Lao Tzu" that people obey the orders of the earth, the earth obeys the orders of the sky, the heavens obey the Tao, and the Tao obeys their own orders. What the old woman said about taking care of people's time, isn't that person the way of heaven?"

After Guan Ren finished asking, he stared at the old woman for a moment. The old woman didn't respond, but he saw the clue from the old face like the dead bark that the person this old woman obeyed was definitely not an ethereal way of heaven.

That's ...... The soul of the soul shuddered.

The old woman was not in a hurry, and said: "The concubine is going to the scorching land of the East China Sea to release the sun now, do you want to go with the concubine to take a look?"

Guan Ren thought for a moment, and finally shook his head and refused. The old woman had deliberately invited him to go with her, which showed that she was open-minded, and she would not at most deceive him with tricks.

The old woman stood at the head of the boat with a lamp, the river was rippling, and the two miserable fishing fires were reflected on the river waves. The old woman was about to take a boat to the East China Sea, and said goodbye at the moment: "Little gentleman, take care of yourself, let's see you in the future." ”

As he spoke, Guan Ren's body slowly floated into the air, and the remnant sword that had been silent for a long time suddenly flew to Guan Ren's feet, holding it steadily.

Bai Zhou swung out of the distance, and Guan Ren saw the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Old woman, I still have something to ask." ”

The bone boat was far away, and it disappeared into the vast smoke in an instant, and a hoarse voice sounded from the depths of the mist: "Little gentleman should not know too much at the moment, and cherish himself more, if you have doubts, you can find the answer by yourself." The next time we met, Mr. Hope had already remembered the concubine. ”

The old woman's voice echoed on the mighty river, three feet and three sword blades turned, and the people carried the customs turned back along the road, surrounded by swords on all sides, based on four levels and eight stable, and it was a hundred miles away in a blink of an eye.

On the way, I heard a loud shout from a distance, and it was the lame old man who came from the sky, and scolded: "Stinky boy, what are you running blindly? ”

Guan Ren pointed to the broken sword under his feet and said, "It's not that you blame this broken sword, but you want to take me to the east of the river to hang it." ”

"Fart, there is only one dragon river within a radius of thousands of miles, where does the big river come from?" The old man has been living in Yuzhou for many years, and he is quite familiar with the mountains, rivers and rivers within the state. Except in the years that he has been imprisoned in the stone prison, the outside world has changed the world and suddenly increased a flood of water.

But he has only been imprisoned in a stone prison for decades, and he is not a vicissitudes of life, how can this world be said to change?

Guan Ren was not angry and said, "What have I done to lie to you! If you don't believe it, I'll take you there." "Then turn the blade of the sword and sweep to the east.

To say that this flying sword is difficult to control, it is not necessarily true. First, this broken sword three feet three has long been psychic, not a mortal thing, it must have penetrated the sword intent of the lame old man in the past thousands of years. Second, although Guan Ren is not a cultivator, he is superior in his mental power, and under the instruction of the old man, he has been able to exchange hearts with the spirit in the sword, and travel freely in the south, south, west, and north.

The two of them rode the wind to the east, and a whistling was thousands of feet away, which was not unpleasant.

But the strange thing is that it is ten, fifty, hundred, and eight hundred miles to the east...... In this vast land, only a few small towns gathered, and in addition, only the smoke of the wilderness remained, and the previous river could not be found.

Guan Ren was also a little uncertain for a while, and said in his heart, "Could it be that the river water, strange fish, white boat, and old woman that I saw just now are just some conjectures?....... How can there be a reason in this world to rule the sun, moon and stars with manpower?"

Thinking like this, he felt a lot of relief in his heart.

The two of them drove their swords back at the moment, when the stars disappeared and the east was slightly white. Hit the south side of the small building and enter through the window, and at this moment the house can already shine some faint skylight.

There was the sound of the man's bangzi on the street, shouting 'safe and sound' farther and farther away, and it was already the fifth watch.

The east woke up, and a round of red sun quietly appeared. Before the rooster in the city crowed, the world was white.

After the cold dew of this season, the days get shorter and the cold nights get longer. It stands to reason that the day of the fifth watch should be dark. But today, how did he commit an evil door, and when the fifth watch sounded, the sun had climbed out of the east mountain. This kind of situation should not be there even during the solar terms of the great heat.

All the masters and grandmasters in the world who are proficient in zodiac, divination, and astrology are silently deducing this matter, and even those who know a little about shooting and understanding are also trying their best to turn over books and consult classics, in order to spy on the heavens. Unfortunately, no one dared to believe that the ecliptic hours and the directions of the stars used as the basis for divination were actually subject to an old woman in her last years. When the sun rises and when the moon sets, it's just a matter of turning your mind.

In the next ten days, the world's teahouses, restaurants, and boats were full of voices discussing the changing days. Some people conclude that it is a big culprit, but some people say that it is a good luck. The royal Star Survey Hall and the Yin and Yang School among the hundreds of sons are silent about this.
