Chapter 119: "Random Thoughts in the Empty Valley" and the Biting Fish
On Yudu Mountain.
After the book demon was brought back, Chongfan flipped through its original body - the book "Random Thoughts in the Empty Valley", wanting to see what kind of book could become a spirit.
But when I saw the contents inside, I was stunned.
The author of the book calls himself "Traveler", a ranger-like character who likes to travel and explore around the world.
After he came to an unnamed valley, he suddenly saw a scene of "the moon being eaten by a heavenly dog" in the sky.
Although there are gods, demons and monsters in this world, this passerby does not believe in the "moon eaten by the heavenly dog" thing at all.
Because he had seen this kind of scene before. If it was really the Heavenly Dog that ate the moon, then why didn't the moon disappear completely, but instead appeared again later?
Therefore, he believes that this is a rare natural phenomenon.
But how did this phenomenon come about?
The traveler pondered deeply until the moon reappeared and the moonlight spread all over the earth. He saw that his shadow blocked the bag behind him, making the bag appear dark, and an idea flashed in his mind.
The moonlight shines on itself, creating a shadow.
The luggage was behind him, so it was covered by the shadow.
If the luggage is regarded as the moon, then what is blocking the moon?
What is emitting light?
The traveler thought, when it comes to things that emit light, if the sun is second, then nothing dares to claim to be first.
So he assumed that if the sun's rays shone on something, the shadow of that object would block the moon.
So what is this thing?
In addition to the speculation about "the moon being eclipsed by the heavenly dog", travelers also have many doubts and speculations during their journey.
How do tides come about?
Why do moths fly into flames?
Why does water flow to lower places?
Why do clouds move in one direction?
What is there above the sky?
All these things are recorded in this book "Random Thoughts in the Empty Valley".
The whole article is an exploration of the world, and doubts and conjectures about various phenomena.
It is full of philosophical and speculative qualities and is absolutely brilliant.
Perhaps people of this era are still unable to realize anything from it and only regard it as a miscellaneous book full of imagination.
But in the eyes of Chongfan, a time traveler, this is undoubtedly a great work.
There are people in this world who are curious, questioning, and looking at everything in the world dialectically with a critical eye!
So real, so touching!
There is a great soul in this book.
No wonder this book has become so magical!
After reading the book, Chongfan had a doubt in his mind.
That is:
What is there above the sky?
Is it the Fairy Palace?
Or is it just the universe and the sea of stars, just like in the previous life?
She had never thought about this question before.
Thinking that I have come to a fantasy world where I can cultivate immortality, I subconsciously feel that there is no need to think about these things.
But after reading this book, all the critical thinking of modern people in the past lives was revived.
Unfortunately, her current cultivation level is still too low, and she cannot soar straight up to a height of thousands of miles.
They are also unable to face the unknown and dangers at high altitudes.
Maybe when I reach a higher level in the future? Or when I ascend to become an immortal?
Chongfan temporarily suppressed this thought in his heart.
No matter what, it is important to seize the present moment.
The book demon is knowledgeable and was appointed by Chongfan as the manager of the library. He is responsible for the inspection, classification and safekeeping of new books entering the library.
She also had a natural love for books, and this just happened to coincide with her interests.
In this way, both parties are happy.
-
Inside the Demon Suppression Department.
"This is what happened. This matter is indeed my fault, and I am willing to accept any punishment from the Demon Suppression Division. But before I completely destroy my master... the corpse demon, can you let me take one last look at him? After all, he is my only relative."
Looking at Gongshu Ming's earnest tone and expression, the interrogator thought for a moment and nodded.
Led by two green-robed detectives, Gongshu Ming was taken to a secret room.
In the secret room, the red-haired corpse demon was blocked by layers of rune chains.
There was a yellow talisman stuck on his forehead, and he didn't move.
The mouth remained open as if wanting to bite someone.
"Senior brother..."
Gongshu Ming took two steps forward, tidied up the red-haired corpse demon's messy hair, and straightened his clothes, as if he was tidying up his remains.
But when he was adjusting his collar, Gongshu Ming was stunned.
With his vision as a Jindan stage cultivator, he is naturally not afraid of darkness.
I can see that there seems to be something in my senior brother's mouth.
He didn't feel disgusted and rummaged around in the other person's mouth. When he took his fingers out, he found a piece of fish scale on his fingertips.
Gongshu Ming's eyes suddenly fixed.
Looking at my brother's still wet clothes, an idea immediately came to my mind.
not good!
He rushed out immediately.
"Where is Lord Mo? I want to see Lord Mo! I have something important to report!"
A green-robed detective saw Gongshu Ming's anxious look and said, "Mr. Gongshu, please wait a moment," and then disappeared in a flash.
After a while, two third-rank detectives wearing dark blue official robes arrived here.
They were the two detectives who had previously worked with Gongshu Ming to capture the corpse demon.
"Master Mo, look at this!"
Gongshu Ming presented the fish scales in his hand to one of the square-faced divine detectives and said quickly, "I found this in the corpse monster's mouth!"
He continued, "Didn't he hide in the Xiliang River for a while? I suspect he bit some aquatic creatures in the Xiliang River!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Mo's expression changed.
Given the infectiousness of the corpse poison, there is no guarantee that the aquatic creatures that are bitten will not mutate.
If these mutated aquatic creatures bite others again...
Especially now that the summer heat is rising, many people like to go to the cool river to bathe and swim...
The two detectives immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately called their men together, saying, "Pass my order to immediately block the Xiliang River!"
As the order was given, the huge Demon Suppression Bureau immediately started moving from top to bottom.
-
On the outskirts of the city, Xiliang River.
"Oh, this water is so cool!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Comfortable!"
Several men took off their shirts and bathed leisurely in the river.
Suddenly, a man screamed.
"Ouch!"
He lifted his foot and saw a medium-sized fish hanging right beside his feet.
His face turned dark and he immediately pulled the fish off and threw it hard towards the shore.
"Stinky fish, you dare to bite me, wait and see how I stew you when I get home!"
Just as he finished speaking, several of his companions nearby screamed “Ouch, ouch!”
They all raised their feet and saw that there was a water creature hanging on each of their feet.
These people were also bachelors. They tore off the aquatic creatures that were biting their feet and threw them onto the shore just like the previous man did.
Maybe I can have an extra meal when I get back.
"It's weird, what's wrong with these fish and turtles today? Why do they all want to take a bite?"
Others also gradually felt that something was not right.
They all looked at each other.
"It would be fine if only one person was bitten, but so many of us were bitten..."
"It can't be that all these things have gone crazy?"
"Why does it feel a bit weird?"
"Forget it, I won't wash it. I'll go back first."
As one person backed out, others also became worried and backed out as well.
"Forget it, I won't wash it either."
Soon, all the people came ashore. When they were about to take their catch back, they ran into several black-robed detectives and one green-robed detective.
