The moon came out and darkness fell again.
When the shadow of the past crawled out from behind the horizon, Li Heping and the search and rescue team he led finally reached the end of the earth.
A young team member looked at the scene in front of him, his mouth wide open, and he was shocked. At the same time, a sense of boundless fear and desolation shrouded him as the ever-climbing black shadow covered the sky. He felt as if a tree was beginning to wither, as if a stubborn rock was gradually stained with frost. The open mouth quickly lost the opportunity to close, and the free soul was trapped in the body and lost its cry.
Suddenly, a rough but warm hand covered his mouth and nose, and stuffed a piece of sweet hard candy into his mouth. The fire also lit up, like a candle swaying in the cold wind. It might be blown out at any time, but it still burned tenaciously to dispel the darkness.
There was a strong force on the back of the head, and the young team member was pushed down by the senior and hid in the grass. A low voice sounded in his ears, "Be still."
The voice came from Senior Li on Huayuan Road. Through the swaying black whip grass that was taller than a person, he saw Li Heping squatting at the front. It was he who fed himself a special "candy" just now. Thinking about it now, the young team member felt scared.
What on earth did he just see?
It is a horizon as straight as if it were drawn with a ruler. On one side of the horizon is wilderness and on the other side is nothingness. That wasn't even darkness. He could only think of two words in his mind - nothingness.
There is nothing in nothingness, whether it is darkness or light, time and space will lose their own scale here, which is more vacuum than vacuum.
But in that void, he saw something else.
That's the magic tree, the magic tree in Hu Di! Senior Li was right, there really was a phantom tree in the distance, and the light from that phantom tree hung with the sun penetrated the void, illuminating the outline of the black shadow.
No, it doesn't seem to be quite accurate.
The young team members vaguely grasped some inspiration, but did not dare to think about it anymore. The more their brains moved, the more sluggish and rusty they became, as if their brains were about to turn into cold hard stone, and the little firelight lit with special grease around them was not enough to completely protect them.
Li Heping's mind was still relatively clear, and he glanced below the horizon despite the cold sweat on his head and back.
There is still nothingness below.
The wasteland they were in was like a flat piece of paper with no thickness. The black shadow didn't look like it came out from under the horizon, but looked like... light and shadow.
Where there is light, there is shadow.
This black shadow can be seen but cannot be touched. Even if it reaches the horizon, it still feels like it is thousands of miles away. The process of it climbing up from the horizon is more like the change of light and shadow.
Thinking of this, Li Heping twisted his stiff neck again and looked in the direction he came from. The temple was too far away to be seen, but the huge golden cat's eyes were still staring at it unblinkingly.
But today’s cat eyes seem a little different.
It got bigger.
Yan Yueming also discovered it, and found that its light seemed to be a little brighter than yesterday. From the mysterious dark gold, it gradually began to bloom with a bright golden light.
This change is not particularly obvious, and it is not stable. In its struggle with the shadows of the past, it sometimes dims and sometimes
And it will be brighter,
It seems to symbolize the increase and decrease of strength.
Logically speaking,
The temple has declined, and the cat god has only one tail left. His power is gradually weakening or even dying. How can it be strengthened again?
Yan Yueming couldn't help but glance in the direction of the forbidden area, wondering if Bu Xia and Chen Yeye had any surprises there.
Wen Renjing, Zhang Jiaoyue and others who were watching from the dimensional wall immediately thought of Yan Yueming's series of operations during the day. What is the core of power that constitutes this gap world? It must still be something on the consciousness and spiritual level.
As a god, the Cat God has more believers, the stronger the power of faith, and it will probably be stronger. And Yan Yueming's series of operations may have been a mistake, which increased the momentum of the believers in a short period of time, so that the Cat God received some feedback.
"Perhaps, the arrival of Xiao Ming and the others, and the appearance of the new apostles, could have enabled the Cat God to be supported." Zhang Jiaoyue stayed to work overtime today, and simply stayed in the gap and never went out.
Her experience and intuition told her that this gap was not simple.
The same is true for Jiang Fan. He recorded the changes below with a pen, as focused and serious as he was when taking meeting minutes, unwilling to let go of any detail.
Suddenly, he noticed, "The angle of the eyes seemed to have changed."
For many days, the golden cat's eyes have been staring in the direction of the old shadow, never changing. But just now, he suddenly looked up.
What's on it?
Wen Renjing was surprised, "Are you looking at us?"
"No." Zhang Jiaoyue calmly and rationally denied his speculation. Combining the news she heard at the countermeasures headquarters during this period, she set her sights on someone who had been ignored by everyone but had a very strong presence in Shangfang City during this period. Feeling the moon, he said, "Maybe I'm looking at it."
The moon in the wasteland looked dim against the shadows of the past and the cat god.
When Yan Yueming saw it, he thought of his senior, senior sister and Dahuang, and felt vaguely worried. Why did the Cat God suddenly look up? It was because he was old
Master and the others have found some way to break the dimensional wall, and are they finally coming to save them?
Still looking at the moon?
Senior, are they still doing well?
The moon still looks like the same moon... Wait, it seems like something is drawing a beautiful arc from the moon and flying past!
Yan Yueming's eyes widened in astonishment, trying to see clearly, but the thing flew too fast, as if a comet flashed by and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the city above, people from the Gas Physics Bureau and the Research Institute are still monitoring the moon in real time despite the risk of foul play. When the "comet" passed over the moon, countless pairs of eyes saw it.
There were exclamations.
"Look!"
"what is that?"
"It's so strange. What kind of vision is this?"
"Quick, quick, report it immediately!"
When the phone rang rapidly, an incredible but very likely guess gradually emerged in Yan Yueming's mind, that is -
rhubarb!
Is that you Rhubarb? !
Big Yellow had no answer. It used its hind legs to exert force and jumped from the boat to the moon with a fearless and brave attitude. However, it couldn't grasp one direction and the distance was not enough.
Empty.
The instant weightlessness made the dog feel bad. It was furious, and regardless of the fact that it was falling in a parabola, it showed its paws towards the moon, "Woof! Woof woof! ()"
“?()”
I fell!
I'm going to fall, human!
Human beings are sailing along the Tianhe River, passing through the uppermost bend, and then swooping down along the waterfall. The sound of splashing water was so loud that it drowned Rhubarb's call into the water, but the moon, surrounded by the bend of the Tianhe River, still shined silently.
Through the thin layer of black gauze, Li Zheng raised his head and glanced at the moon, then turned the rudder to pick up Dahuang.
His attitude was still so calm and unhurried, which made Dahuang, who was shaken by the water of the waterfall and had been free-falling for a long time, particularly annoyed.
It scratched the side of the boat with its dog paws, and finally managed to stabilize its body from falling, then cursed angrily at Li Zheng. The result was a dog's mouth, the water splashing from the waterfall hit it, and it took a mouthful of river water.
So angry, so angry, so angry.
It misses the human dog.
The human dog will pet its head, whisper to it, and secretly stuff it with delicious food. The moon was really unpalatable, but it was not a good thing, so Rhubarb decided to eat it.
In fact, when it came here in the boat and saw the moon, it knew what it was going to do. It was this round, glowing thing that kept it trapped in that small mountain village, unable to get out!
It ran around the village, tried swimming, and tried adventure in the nearby mountains, but in the end it always returned to the small mountain village. Dahuang’s dog brain couldn’t figure out why, and could only draw the most realistic conclusion—compared to that devilish human being, this luminous pancake was obviously more annoying to dogs.
Then get rid of it.
The tough dog doesn't need to think deeply or explain.
"Woof! Woof!" Dahuang shouted at Li Zheng again.
Human, aren't you awesome? Why haven't you killed this glowing pancake yet? Take me up quickly and let me eat this pancake. I'm ready.
Rhubarb, who became more and more courageous with every setback, scolded people when he wanted to, and would not wait until tomorrow if he wanted to eat cake today, once again stood on the bow of the boat and launched a challenge to the moon.
The moon was silent, but it seemed to be further away from it than before, and the moonlight became dimmer.
"Woof?" Dahuang tilted his head.
Li Zheng raised his lips, "It is indeed afraid of you."
Dahuang couldn't understand it, but it could understand Li Zheng's tone, "Woof? Woof woof!"
It's starting to get exciting.
The tails were raised high.
"One thing brings another." Li Zheng suddenly found the rhubarb a bit pleasing to the eye, and even the floral square scarf on its head looked cute. His eyes moved from Rhubarb to the moon. Finally, he said to Rhubarb: "Would you like to add some seasoning?"
Dahuang turned around in confusion, "Woof?"
what?
Big Yellow didn't understand, it just saw that when the boat sailed along the river into the sky again, the human suddenly took out a small bottle from his pocket, opened it, and poured it down.
At this time they had reached the top. If they had not held on to the boat tightly, they would have fallen off, and the moon was below them, surrounded by the Milky Way.
The contents in the bottle were like powder, sparkling, blown by the evening wind towards the moon.
The big yellow eyes suddenly lit up, it had seen it! In that strange world where humans live, on those roadside stalls, humans really like to spread this, it’s fragrant and delicious!
wait for me! I am coming!
Rhubarb made another heroic leap and flew toward the moon. !
