On the other side of the mountain, I don’t know the wonders here.
As mortal beings, what they saw for the time being was only the occurrence of a lunar eclipse.
It was already very late at this time, and everyone was getting a little sleepy from waiting, yawning all the time. Just when sleepyheads came, finally the hard work paid off.
"Quick, quick, quick! Cheer up, everyone, the lunar eclipse is here!"
Following Song Yufei's energetic voice, everyone was excited and quickly looked over with binoculars.
Sure enough, a dark shadow suddenly appeared next to the originally bright moon. It seemed to have been dormant for a long time, swallowing the moon's light bit by bit.
The full moon suddenly lost a corner, and it looked as if a piece had been bitten off. Then the black shadow grew larger and larger, spreading to the entire moon like thick ink.
The black shadow devoured it very quickly, and only half of the moon was left. After more than half an hour, only the sickle-like crescent moon was left, until it was finally completely swallowed up.
Without the trace of the moon, the sky suddenly became pitch black, and even the light of the stars completely disappeared.
The sky seemed to be shrouded in a black curtain without any light. It was so heavy that everyone could hardly breathe.
Everyone held their breath subconsciously, and no one spoke.
The process of a lunar eclipse is divided into five stages: initial waning, complete eclipse, extreme eclipse, light generation, and re-eclipse.
Soon the process of generating light will come.
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, a red shadow finally appeared under the black curtain, and the red light was looming.
Song Yufei subconsciously looked at the time and said, "That's wrong."
The originally silent atmosphere was suddenly broken, and everyone was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"The time to generate light is wrong, it's too fast."
After Song Yufei's reminder, everyone realized that the time of light generation seemed to be advanced.
Based on the records observed in previous years, the observatory can calculate the time and process of the lunar eclipse phenomenon, as well as the time points at which each stage occurs.
Even if there is a deviation, it should not be big, and this time it is almost an hour ahead of the time they predicted!
"Yeah, even if it's ahead of time, the time difference is still too big."
There was some commotion in the team for a moment, and I didn’t understand why it was so early than expected.
Everyone looked at the red shadow above their heads and was puzzled, and fell into discussion. Finally, Liu Mei said: "Okay, maybe there is an accident, let's continue to observe."
With doubts, everyone could only continue to watch, and soon found that the red light was getting bigger and brighter.
Not only the time doesn't match, but the color and shape don't match either.
Soon an object whose whole body was red and whose shape was unknown appeared in everyone's field of vision!
The people at the observatory were in an uproar. They thought they were hallucinating. They rubbed their eyes, but the bright object was still hanging in the sky.
"Is this the sun?"
The sun actually appeared in the middle of the night. How could this be possible?
The object's light is getting brighter and brighter, reaching the point where it can be observed with the naked eye.
"What is this scenario!"
"Is this a shooting star? But why is it like a golden rain?"
The observatory was to observe the lunar eclipse, but was interrupted by a sudden unknown object.
The sudden appearance of unknown luminous objects is simply unbelievable.
Rao was the most senior person in the station and had never seen such a situation happen before. Soon everyone's surprise was replaced by shock and excitement.
"No matter what it is, this time it is an unexpected harvest. This kind of celestial phenomenon only happens once in a hundred years. Please record it quickly and study it carefully when you go back."
It turns out that it is not the lunar eclipse phenomenon that is biased, but other circumstances that have obscured the original observations.
Although we don’t know why this unknown object suddenly appeared and whether it is related to the lunar eclipse, it is undoubtedly a good object for observation and research.
Everyone cheered up again and carefully observed the objects on the horizon.
The originally dark sky suddenly became brighter, like a signal, and soon countless similar objects appeared in the flash of fire.
Red and black are intertwined, and even the hidden clouds are forced to reveal their true appearance.
Everyone was in a trance and had the illusion that they were going to witness the rising of the sun. In fact, it was only the early morning.
A huge hole was opened in the black curtain, and countless flames fell from the sky. The location of the fall was in the northwest, not far from them, and seemed to be in the direction of the mountain next door.
It can be observed with the naked eye.
"It's spectacular."
"Why is there sky fire? What is this phenomenon?"
"Unheard of!"
"If it were not in China, I would even wonder if this is a military thermite bomb?"
At this moment, the sky seemed to be raining fire, and the fireball contained countless golden rays of light, dragging a long tail rapidly down in the night sky.
Because the speed was so fast, it even left several afterimages in the air, and a golden trail could be vaguely captured.
This rain of fire came so suddenly, burning most of the sky red. The dark sky was submerged in the gorgeous light, like fire trees and silver flowers, setting off layers of waves.
It is magnificent and magnificent.
"Look, the fire rain has fallen on that mountain top."
Everyone saw that these heavenly fires were like fiery red butterflies, with their wings spread out and sparkling flying, intertwined with golden streams of light, landing in the mountains and forests.
Everyone was deeply attracted by the strange scene in front of them.
It is so beautiful, the dreamy scene is mixed with indescribable splendor.
The fire from heaven descends into the world in full bloom.
One has to sigh with emotion at God's splash of ink, using the sky as paper to show such a grand scene to everyone.
…
At the same time, such a dazzling scene was also seen by the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
It turns out that some villagers also know about the spectacle of Tengu eclipsing the moon. It’s not like they haven’t seen it before, but this time even the city’s observatory was dispatched, so they wanted to join in the fun.
"Speaking of which, there is nothing special about the Tengu eclipse. I heard that there is a total lunar eclipse every year or two, so it is not uncommon. It is also worth it that those people in the city came here with all their strength and made us wait in vain. So late at night.”
"That's an observatory. What do you know? They have special equipment for observation. We only have two pairs of eyes. How can we compare this?"
"I don't like hearing what you are saying. They are looking through a telescope. We just use our eyes. There is still a procedure left in the middle."
"You are lying, I won't argue with you."
"It's obvious that you can't defeat me."
Just as the two villagers were arguing, the village chief yawned and said, "You are really energetic. You have almost seen it now. I will go back to sleep first."
Just as the village chief was carrying his little horse and was about to get up.
"Plop——"
The little Maza suddenly fell to the ground, and the village chief stared straight at the sky, as if he had seen something extremely incredible.
"This, this is sky fire!"
Other villagers were also attracted by the village chief's voice and followed his gaze.
Then, countless fire rains fell from the sky, as if a special golden rain fell, reflecting most of the sky.
And the location where it landed was exactly on the top of the mountain where the mountain god was!
…
The people at the observatory were completely shocked. They stood there dumbfounded and looked up at the sky.
They observed and recorded various celestial phenomena, but there was never any celestial phenomenon in their minds that could match the scene in front of them.
"What on earth is going on? Could it be some new astronomical phenomenon, but why have I never heard of it?"
"And it didn't cause any fires. These sky fires seem to be just a special light source?"
"Maybe it was just caused by some natural geological phenomenon, and then formed this wonder?"
"It doesn't look like it. This sky fire clearly fell from the sky. It is unlikely that it was caused by geology. However, it cannot be ruled out that changes in the magnetic field on the ground, coupled with this lunar eclipse, caused such a phenomenon."
"It doesn't make sense!"
The rain of fire from the sky did not last long. As the last fireball sank into the forest, the black curtain returned to its original appearance.
The light of the silver moon loomed and returned to the sky again, and the lunar eclipse began a new change. Only this time, the attention given to it was much less.
Everyone was discussing for a long time but no result was reached. Someone who was curious suggested: "Why don't we go to the top of the mountain to have a look?"
The place where the sky fire landed was on the hilltop next door. If we could figure out what material these fireballs were, we might be able to figure out the reason for this spectacle.
"But what about the next lunar eclipse?"
Song Yufei thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. Let's leave some people to continue shooting, and some of us will go to the place where the sky fire landed."
This method was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Soon Song Yufei and others were going down the mountain, taking another mountain road, and happened to pass by the foot of the mountain, where the mountain temple is located.
I was surprised to find that the temple was full of villagers inside and outside. The lights were brightly lit, and it was as if it was daytime. The people at the observatory didn't know why.
"Why aren't they sleeping yet?"
Logically speaking, the villagers should have gone to bed at this point, but now that everyone is gathered here, this scene is really strange.
There were not many activities in the village, and they had to get up early to do farm work the next day, so the villagers went to bed early. It was already early in the morning, which was really different from their usual schedule.
These villagers looked even more serious, as if they were performing some kind of solemn ceremony.
The village chief also spotted the figures of several people, and their expressions looked strange under the light.
"Xiao Song, have you seen it too?"
Song Yufei and others did not realize what the village chief said at first, so they subconsciously asked: "What did you see?"
"Heavenly fire! That's the mountain god showing his spirit."
After saying that, he showed an expression as if you have made a lot of money.
"You are really lucky. Just when you got here, you encountered the appearance of the mountain god."
It turned out that after the village chief and others saw such a grand occasion, they beat gongs and drums to wake up the whole village, and gathered in the mountain temple to worship together.
This is what Song Yufei and others saw after coming down the mountain.
The people at the observatory looked at each other with helpless expressions, "Village chief, this is not a manifestation of a mountain god. It should be some kind of special natural celestial phenomenon. And haven't you seen it? This sky fire did not cause a fire. It was not a real fire, it was just a fire. It’s just a spectacle of sky fire caused by a natural light source.”
Just as they don't believe what the village chief says, the village chief doesn't believe what they say.
"Don't be ridiculous. We have lived under the mountain for so long and have never seen such a scene. It is definitely the appearance of the mountain god."
"That's right, then tell me what is this phenomenon?"
Several people at the observatory were immediately speechless because they really didn't know.
However, seeing that the people at the observatory wanted to argue, Song Yufei stopped them. She lowered her voice and said, "There is no need to argue about this."
The villagers' beliefs are deeply rooted, how could they change their views with just a few words from them.
The village chief looked at them, "By the way, what are you going to do? Have you finished the observation?"
"We want to go up this mountain and see what the sky fire is."
When the originally kind village chief heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He shook his head and said, "That's not okay. You are foreigners. If you enter the mountain rashly now, you will disturb the mountain god."
"The mountain god has just appeared, and now is the time when he needs 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 suddenly became anxious.
There was an anxious colleague inside the station who couldn't help but said: "How can this be done? You won't let me go up the mountain even if you say I won't. This mountain doesn't belong to you."
After hearing the dispute here, the villagers nearby also gradually moved closer to the village chief.
The village chief persuaded with reason: "Young man, I am doing it for your own good. If the mountain god is disturbed, no one can afford it, and it is not safe to go up the mountain in the middle of the night."
Song Yufei glanced at the village chief and the many villagers behind him. There were only a few of them. 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 inappropriate to have conflicts with the villagers based on emotion and reason.
Song Yufei made a compromise decision, "Village Chief, how about this? If you don't let us enter the mountain now, then we can always do it tomorrow. If you are worried, you can have someone follow you."
The village chief is not an unreasonable person, but the mountain god has just appeared. If these outsiders are allowed to rush in recklessly, it will inevitably make the mountain god angry, and it will not be good if the anger reaches the village.
Now that Song Yufei takes a step back and proposes tomorrow, it shouldn't be a big problem.
He grinned and said, "Xiao Song, you are still sensible, then I will ask the villagers to take you up the mountain tomorrow."
On the way back, the people at the observatory were obviously unhappy, "Yufei, why are you so talkative? Those villagers are so stubborn."
"What age are you still practicing feudal superstition?"
Song Yufei smiled.
"Take a step back and the sky is brighter. Besides, we have already accepted the kindness of the village when we stayed overnight, and the villagers also take good care of us. It would not be good if there would be a conflict, and it doesn't matter if we wait for one night."
"Even though I say that, I always feel..."
"Okay, okay, I also think Yu Fei did the right thing. Is it possible that you can still fight against those villagers one by one?"
To be honest, apart from being a little stubborn about the mountain god, these villagers are pretty good people.
After Liu Mei learned about this incident, she very much agreed with Song Yufei's approach.
"Xiao Song did the right thing. Besides, there are so many villagers and we are only a few. It is wise to avoid unnecessary disputes."
"Besides, the Sky Fire Spectacle is over. There's not much difference between going to investigate now and going tomorrow."
People at the observatory can only wait until tomorrow to go hiking to check the situation.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ye Qin's body on the mountain was filled with brilliance, and countless golden threads were wrapped around him, forming a huge cocoon. The appearance of the cocoon was undulating, as if it could breathe.
An inexplicable rhythm seems to run through the entire mountains and rivers, and it seems that with the ups and downs of the cocoons, the entire mountains and rivers come alive.
More and more small animals were attracted, so densely packed that it was impossible to see the head at a glance. Their eyes invariably gathered on the cocoon, like pilgrim saints, full of piety and respect.
The fur of the animals located in the innermost circle is smoother and brighter, and even the flashing expressions in the animal pupils are more different. Obviously these are the first ones to follow Ye Qin.
Naturally, they are now unable to produce spiritual wisdom, nor can they practice cultivation, but they have been subject to some subtle influences, making themselves more energetic.
Like some kind of miracle descended from the sky, Ye Qin in the cocoon is constantly absorbing the emperor's liquid, using himself as a bridge.
