"Remember."
Yun Kong frowned and said, "I'm too young and don't have much memory. I only remember that there was a mountain forest where I often went to collect firewood."
"Then do you remember what is in the forest?" Polu said, "What impressed me deeply is that at a young age you told me that you knew there were monsters in the forest, but you were not afraid at all."
Yunkong thought for a while: "I have seen a person who shines. He is very beautiful. He is the Night God, right? Because he is beautiful, he is not afraid, right...?"
"How old is Yun Kong?"
"Twenty-eight, Master."
Polu counted silently: "Well, then you have been walking alone in the world for seven years. I accepted you as my disciple and twenty-four years have passed since the year we met the Night Wanderer."
"Time flies so fast." Iwakong sighed.
"Don't be busy, I have something else to say," Broly leaned forward and stared at the two brothers, "It was only two years ago that I met the Night Walker God again."
Yunkong and Yankong showed surprised expressions, their eyes widened: "What? Where is it?"
"It's far away from here. I'm looking for the legend of the Fairy Island along the East China Sea, near Yangzhou."
Ever since he met the night wandering gods in Xianren Village, Polu had been deeply curious about the round light that appeared when the night wandering gods disappeared, but no one could answer his doubts. It wasn't until he read through the books at Yinshan Temple that he discovered that it was only thirty years ago. In the past, similar strange things happened in Yangzhou and Hangzhou.
Yangzhou is located near the outlet of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Hangzhou is located at the outlet of Zhejiang. The two cities are located in the north and south of Taihu Lake respectively, so they are geographically close.
Moreover, it was two great figures in modern times who recorded these strange events: Shen Kuo and Su Shi.
When Polu was young, Su Shi was a well-known talent all over the world. His fame was so great that any restaurant where he wrote poems would attract many customers, making him the superstar he is today. However, he wrote in his collection that in the fourth year of Xining, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, when he was demoted to serve as a general magistrate in Hangzhou, he passed by Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province and stayed at Jinshan Temple. After the second watch of the night, after the moon had set, he saw a strong light emanating from the center of the river, illuminating the mountains and forests. , frightened the night-roosting birds.
He recorded this incident in a seven-character ancient poem "Visiting Jinshan Temple", accurately recording the year, month, day, time and location, and said that the fire "was neither a ghost nor a human being".
Po Lu later found an even more bizarre record in "Mengxi Bi Tan". The erudite Shen Kuo traveled around and mentioned that his friend saw the Pearl on the Lake with his own eyes when he was studying in Yangzhou. It is a giant bead that is very famous in Yangzhou. It is often seen after dark, and it will change from one lake to another. His friend's study was on the lake. One night the pearl was very close. The friend saw it looked like a clam shell. The light came out from the joints of the clam shell. When it suddenly opened the shell, the pearl suddenly appeared. The light was like the rising sun, red. The light burns the sky like wildfire. When it suddenly left, it moved very quickly. When it floated on the lake, it was like bright sunlight.
This incident happened in the Jiayou period, about ten years earlier than Su Shi, and the giant pearl appeared for more than ten years. Everyone in Yangzhou knew about it, and some people even rented boats to go out at night to wait for it to appear.
At this point, Polu said: "Isn't the glowing clam what we see?"
Yankong looked forward to Polu: "Master, you just said that you met the Night Traveler again."
"Oh, I'm pretty sure that Night Traveler left on that glowing saucer."
"Leave with it?" Yun Kong asked confused.
"That's not all. In addition to round lights, they also have flying cars."
Yankong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The more Master talks about it, the more strange it becomes."
"It's not strange that I invented it," Po Lu said. "I wrote the "Book of Mountains and Seas" about the Night Wandering God, and also wrote about the "Qi Hu Kingdom", saying that they have one arm and three eyes..."
Yun Kong's eyes lit up: ""Natural History" also mentioned the Qigong Kingdom, saying that they could build flying cars!"
"Yes, that's it. It was also mentioned that during the time of Shang Tang, a man from Qigong flew to Yuzhou, but Shang Tang broke the flying chariot to avoid being seen by the people. It took ten years before he was allowed to repair the chariot and fly back."
Yankong asked: "Where to go back?"
""Natural History" says that the Qigong Kingdom is 40,000 miles west of Yumen Pass."
Yankong chuckled and said, "That Zhang Hua is also a bragging expert. Could it be that he has been to a place 40,000 miles away?"
"But "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that the Qigong Kingdom was at the place where Xingtian competed with the 'Emperor' for gods."
"Where is that?"
Polu shrugged: "I have been pondering this mystery for many years, and finally I have the opportunity to ask myself the answer in person."
After walking in a big circle, Yankong and Yunkong finally got to the point. Yankong and Yunkong raised their heads in anticipation.
"Two years ago, for Shen Kuo's records, I went to Yangzhou and found several lakes mentioned in the book, as well as a place called Fanliang Town, which are all places where the Pearl once appeared." Po Lu said, "One night, I found a ruined temple to spend the night. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a strange sound..."
The strange sound was accompanied by a low-frequency vibration, which Yankong was familiar with. Back then, Futianyin had made a similar buzzing sound when approaching the Night Traveling God.
When the strange sound appeared, the lights outside the temple were brightly lit, illuminating the originally gloomy ruined temple as if it were noon.
Po Lu walked a lot during the day and was very tired, but at this moment his curiosity overshadowed his vigilance, so he didn't bother to rest and walked out of the ruined temple to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, three people stood outside the ruined temple. All three of them had a layer of silver all over their bodies, and their faces were a smooth black glaze.
Behind the three people were two strange-looking vehicles, shaped like wheelbarrows commonly used to transport goods on the street. There was a glowing disk floating in the sky behind them, just like what Yun Kong had seen in the Immortal Village when he was young.
Po Lu listened to the buzzing sound of the round light and couldn't help but feel in a trance, thinking that maybe this was fairy music? And isn’t that light the legendary Ruixia?
"I've met an immortal!" Po Luzuo thought at that time.
It turns out that the skin and flesh of immortals are silver. No wonder ancient alchemists believed that eating gold and silver can become immortals!
While he was thinking wildly, the silver man came forward and asked him to get on one of the cars.
Polu got into the car excitedly and couldn't help but look around at the structure inside the car. There was nothing he recognized.
"Are you immortals?" He couldn't help but ask.
The three of them were stunned, and one of them replied stiffly: "No..."
"No?" Po Lu was even more confused. Besides gods, who else could have such a rare thing?
Before he could think too much, the car took off.
※※※
Outside the ragged thatched cottage, the sky was filled with stars, and the cold wind was getting stronger.
Mo Er lit a pot of fire and heated hot water for everyone. Po Lu also took out a small piece of brick tea from his collection, ground it into powder, and mixed it into the hot water for drinking.
Polu picked up a burnt firewood from the brazier and drew a picture on the ground: "A car that looks like this, I'm not good at drawing..." he said uncertainly.
The car had two wheels, but they couldn't turn. They were not meant to run on the ground.
The car also extended straight wings above the wheels, but it was unknown what their purpose was.
The speed car soon rose straight into the sky. Polu looked down at the ruined temple below, and saw two or three abandoned houses among the weeds behind the ruined temple. While thinking, they quickly approached the round light, and the strong light forced them to He covered his eyes with his sleeves.
Suddenly there was no bright light around. They had landed on the hard ground, surrounded by silver walls and soft light. Brochure couldn't find the source of the light. He didn't see any lights.
The temperature is just right and the air is very comfortable. It even smells slightly exciting and makes me feel more energetic.
He didn't remember how he got here. He vaguely remembered that for a moment, a lip suddenly opened in the round light, so did they enter the round light?
Polu almost lost his free judgment. Maybe he was too excited, or maybe what he saw and heard was beyond his understanding. He was too surprised that he couldn't think normally, and could only follow the three silver figures blankly. The people stepped off the speed car, walked into a short corridor, and arrived at a rather large room.
There were many things he had never seen before in the room. There was a smooth table with many protrusions on it. He saw those people pressing the protrusions, and some of the protrusions emitted colored lights, and the surrounding walls also made a low buzzing sound. , there are several windows on the wall, and different images are active in each window...
The three silver men who brought him in put their hands on both sides of their heads, and with a slight click, their black glazed faces fell down, revealing another face.
That face was something that Polu would never forget.
"A snake face."
"Snake? Then it's a fairy." Iwakora reacted immediately.
"Actually, it looks like a snake head when viewed from above. The face is flat and the chin is pointed..." Po Lu picked up the burnt wood again and began to draw on the ground: "Small nose and small mouth, but big eyes. One side of the eye becomes a slit." , no eyelashes, no eyebrows, no hair..."
Yun Kong thought of the disciples of the Longbi Master. All the hair on their heads was gone, but they didn't have snake faces.
