Nightfall Chapter 200: Master on the night

There have always been moon characters in this world, such as the moon country, the famous laurel in the moon country, and the white moon with the color of the laurel petals, but the moon in this world has never been specific The meaning of the word is like the lightness and turbidity, which vaguely points to a faint meaning.

The moon that the Master asked at this time was of course not referring to the color, because he was asking about the moon. Because of this question, Ning Que suddenly became nervous and got up, following his previous behavior style. At this time, he would definitely think Do everything possible to pretend to be stupid, but this time if he pretends to be really stupid.

Because the Master has pointed out that he is a man who knows him by birth.

Ning Que lowered his head, feeling cold sweat flowing behind his back, gradually dampening his clothes. After a long silence, his voice trembled and said, "The sun and the moon are in reincarnation, and the light and darkness are opposite. The moon may be in phase with the sun. Correspondingly, the sun appears in the day and the moon appears in the night."

The master said: "Be more specific."

Ning Que looked at the cliffs and cliffs not far in front of him, the flowing clouds under the stars, and fell into a long silence again, and then said: "It may be... a large stone ball suspended in the sky of night. Because it reflects the sun’s rays, it looks very bright at night."

He couldn't explain why he could describe the moon that didn't exist in this world.

The master looked at him with a smile, and helped him give an explanation that might be unreasonable, but at least it makes sense: "It seems that the picture you see in your dream is very interesting."

Hearing the word dream, Ning Que raised his head, looking at the teacher standing on the cliff, and watching Qingwu's clothes in the night breeze, he seemed to have caught something vaguely.

"This idea is really interesting."

The master turned and looked at the night sky, admiringly said: "Everlasting night, some light is always needed."

"Everything in the world corresponds invisibly. There is a day in the day, and a corresponding moon is also good. But if there is a moon, where will it be? If the moon reflects the sun’s rays as you said. Doesn’t it mean that the sun is also in our world at night. It’s just that we can’t see it?"

"At night then. Where is the sun? It really falls below the ground below our feet like when it moves westward and falls. Then it regenerates in the morning?"

"Doesn’t it mean that the sun is revolving around our world? But the world we live in is a flat and open land. There is an endless abyss at the edge. Why did I wait for more than ten days and didn’t see the sun? Falling into the abyss, it just disappeared like that suddenly?"

The master looked at the night sky with his hand held down, and said to himself that he was not talking to Ning Que, but was having a conversation with himself who had been thinking about answers for countless years.

After a while, he looked at Chang'an City in the distant wilderness, frowned and said: "There are still many places that are still blocked. If the world is a ball, it seems to be connected."

People in the secular world are accustomed to the sun setting, accustomed to being shrouded in the brilliance of the sky day after day, just like accustomed to seeing the morning stalls on the street and the moss on the edge of the well. Will have any questions about these things, let alone think about why these things exist.

But the Master is not in the dunya, he needs to think.

The previous murmur, probably few people in the world can understand, and even those who hear these words think that the Master is a somewhat crazy old man.

Ning Que understood a little, feeling a little sad, and then admired endlessly.

The Master obviously has no knowledge of astronomy. He just follows the simple reasoning described by Ning Que, and he is about to touch the truth of the world, but the truth does not belong to this world, but another world, but he does not know that the world exists for a long time. The past, but the future long after.

"I have watched this night sky for many years."

The Master pointed to the high and dark sky above the cliff, pointed to the dots of stars hanging between them, and said: "Whether it was many years ago or years later, those stars have always stayed in their original positions. Nothing happened. Changes indicate that the relative position of the earth and the sky is fixed. This stability is full of a classical and solemn and eternal beauty, but it will be a little boring to watch for a long time."

Ning Que followed the teacher's arm and looked towards the night sky, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"But starting from the first year of the Apocalypse, the stars in the night sky have become dimmed day by day. There is no difference in the eyes of mortals, but I know they are dimming."

The master said: "There was a process of dimming, and when the officials of the Qin Tianjian saw it, they came up with the comment that the night will cover the stars and the state will be restless."

Ning Que knew that it was this sentence of Qin Tianjian that made the Tang Empire into a dispute, which indirectly caused Li Yuyuan to marry the grassland a few years later. However, he knew the original sentence after hearing the teacher's words today. The criticism turned out to be true, at least the first half is true, the stars in the night sky are really dimming!

"Where can the country be restless."

The master laughed.

Ning Que's mood was a little lighter, and he didn't expect the Master to continue to say: "If the whole world enters the eternal night, how can there be only Datang and one country that cannot be peaceful?"

Thinking of the words similar to prophecies in the Ming script, thinking of certain legends, Ning Que could not control the tension and fear in his heart, and asked: "Teacher, is there really an invasion of the underworld?"

The Master said: "The Ming Scrolls of the Heavenly Book heralds the coming of the night. There are also related legends in the Xiling Teaching Music and the Ancient Buddhist Scrolls. Because of these prophecies and legends, many wise men have been thinking about this for countless years. Thousands of years ago, the God of Light went to the wasteland to preach, but he created the Demon Sect. The Buddhist monasteries stood still in the deep mountains, probably all related to this. As for whether the legend is true, no one knows."

Ning Que asked: "Teacher, don't you know?"

"I said that there is no omniscient person in the world. Even a person who knows by birth can only know the things he has seen in his dreams. He has not seen it before, and he still does not know."

Ning Que was silent.

The master looked at the night sky above his head, and said after a moment of silence: "In the past two years, your big brother and I have traveled in the world. In the middle, we went to the extreme northern cold region and found that the night there has become significantly longer. , Atami has gradually condensed, so Huang talent was forced to tear up the thousand-year agreement and venture southward."

Ning Que has heard the legend of the underworld, and most of the people in the market know this legend, but the legend is after all a legend, and the Xiling Temple has always been indifferent to this legend, so this legend has become more and more popular. The emptiness became faint.

However, the Master himself is a legendary character. When the legend of the underworld is dignified from his mouth, and there seems to be vague evidence, then the legend is only true.

Ning Que felt cold, and the soaked back of his clothes seemed to freeze.

"No one noticed that even the city of Chang'an last winter was colder than the year before. Of course, this may be just accidental, because so far, I still think that the invasion of the underworld is just a story to scare children, because No one has discovered the underworld, nor have I."

The master looked at Ning Que’s slightly pale face, and comforted: “And even if the eternal night comes, according to the records in the Ming scroll and the Buddhist scroll, it cannot be a very short process. It must be extremely long. Maybe What does it have to do with people like us for a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, or even ten thousand years?"

Ning Que said sadly: "The teacher is lying again. If you really don't believe the story of the invasion of the underworld, how can you go to the underworld everywhere, and how can it take ten thousand years."

"Then tell me, where is the underworld?"

The Master smiled and looked at Ning Que. There seemed to be an extremely rich meaning hidden in his smile, and asked: "Or, in your dreams, in which direction is the underworld in the world?"

Ning Que felt the teacher's gaze, remembering the bizarre statement of the Great Priest Guangming about his life experience, and the cold sweat in the clothes room disappeared instantly.

Are you really the son of Pluto?

Could it be said that the teacher knew that he was the son of Pluto?

……

……

Ning Que can’t accept this statement at all, because he doesn’t know what Pluto is, and he knows where he comes from, and if this statement is true, he really is the son of the legendary Pluto, then The **** storm that Xiling Temple set off in Chang'an in the past seemed to have some reason, and he hated this kind of reason, even if it was unreasonable.

Looking at his anxious expression, the Master smiled, and said: "When the world thinks, Haotian is always laughing. If there is an underworld, it will invade the world. That is why the Supreme Way needs to be considered. 、What is qualified to consider, what can you do as a child, and what can you change? If you can’t do anything, then what's the point of your pain and anxiety?"

Ning Que did not agree with the teacher’s attitude, thinking about the scenes of the big brother hearing the Tao and entering the Tao in the evening, thinking that he would die after hearing the Tao, even if it could not change the final outcome of the destruction of the world, it might even be possible I can't see this ending, so I can live with Sangsang freely and happily in the world, but as long as I can think, I always want to know what the end of time is and why this happened.

But since I don't want to discuss this matter anymore, especially I don't want to discuss this matter with him anymore, then no matter how much he asks, the master will not say one more word.

Ning Que lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the master and asked seriously: "Then teacher, please tell me how the little uncle died back then."

Then he added: "This matter makes sense to me."

Knowing that this matter really makes a lot of sense to Ning Que, because he is now on the same path as the little uncle, and he wants to change the ending of this story.
