After Lin Fengjin listed all these academies and came out, he found that the work was only half done. He couldn't help but yawned greatly. The information for him to check was about to be exhausted. He stood up and stretched.
Waist, strolled to the window, raised his head suddenly, and was suddenly shocked:
"What a big moon!"
It turns out that the bright moon is in the sky at this time, and the bright moon the size of an ice plate shines brightly. Because of this, in Lin Fengjin's feeling, it even occupies half of the night sky. The moon usually feels beautiful to people, but
At this time, Lin Fengjin took a second look, but couldn't help but feel an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, as if this was an evil giant eye that existed in the dark.
In fact, the beautiful impression left by the moon, especially the full moon, on people is mostly derived from the poetry works of literati, as well as the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, which symbolizes family reunion.
However, few people think that New Year's Eve, 365 days a year, is also about family reunion. According to legend, it is about gathering as many people as possible to build courage, and then set off firecrackers to scare away the monster called "Xi".
Is it auspicious and beautiful for the whole family to gather together on August 15th?
Behind the vast dusty memory of history, there is actually a bloody legend!
In the long past, when people still lived in clans, there would be great dangers on every full moon night! Especially the threat in August was the greatest, and everyone in the clan had to gather together to resist the madness.
dangers and threats!
As time goes by, that terrible danger gradually disappears, and people forget the danger in the past, but the custom of reunion on August 15th has been passed down...
At this time, when Lin Fengjin looked at the full moon, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable mania and throbbing in his heart, but he just felt a little strange.
The banquet outside was just in the ascendant. As the protagonist, he had to go out to socialize, and he would inevitably be drunk. After a while, the drunkenness started to rise, and he was ready to go back to the bedroom to rest, but Lin Feng
Before I left the table, I overheard the conversation of some old people at the table:
"The moon is so big and round tonight..."
"Hey, yes, I heard from the old man that when the demon star came that year, there was such a bright moon in the night sky, and then the demon star competed with the moon for brightness!"
"Lao He is right, I still remember..."
Lin Fengjin didn't pay attention to these words. He returned to the bedroom and fell asleep. In a daze, he just felt hot and hot all over his body. He simply took off his underwear and stripped his upper body. However, he still felt more and more intolerable, so he staggered in a daze.
I want to drink water when I get up.
After Lin Fengjin drank a whole pot of herbal tea, he still couldn't quench his thirst as he wished. His throat still felt like it was burning. He simply walked out with his upper body naked and wanted to get some cold water from the well and drink it all. Unexpectedly, he left.
When I went outside to a place without shelter and illuminated by the moonlight, I immediately felt that my whole body gradually became relaxed.
"Hey, what's going on?" Lin Fengjin couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he just thought that he got drunk and got drunk, and now he is slowly sobering up.
But Lin Fengjin didn't know that if he stood in the distance and looked over, he would find that after the bright moonlight shone on his body, there would be faint traces of light coming from among the thousands of pores in his body.
It emits purple smoke that is so faint that it is almost unrecognizable.
The smoke was like mist. Although it was very thin around Lin Fengjin's body, it gathered together and never dispersed. It slowly rose to the top of his head and became more concentrated the higher it went.
Clear!
When communication was inconvenient, in order to transmit military and police signals, the beacon tower would light dried wolf dung and sprinkle sulfur powder on it. The yellow smoke would remain solid and would not change its shape even if it was blown by strong winds.
, straight into the sky, so it is called the beacon fire.
At this time, the smoke that appeared above Lin Fengjin's head, after floating to a height of more than ten feet, condensed and became more like substance, and seemed to be between tangible and insubstantial. Under the bright moonlight, it even seemed like
It's so shocking to reach straight into the sky! But ordinary people have no way of seeing it.
In many unofficial histories and anecdotes, there are rumors that pythons spit pills, old foxes swallow pearls, and practice with moonlight on the night of the full moon. However, if you think about it carefully, it may not be reasonable:
You must know that practicing this kind of thing actually goes against the laws of nature. To put it bluntly, it is simply acting against nature.
And on a full moon night, even if the "similarly round" numbers fourteen and sixteen are added together, there are only three days in each month, and theoretically, there are only thirty-six days in a year. But in fact, there will be
The night when the full moon appears is subject to many conditions: if it rains, there will definitely be no moon, and if it is cloudy, there may not be a full moon. It must be sunny during the day, and then there will be a full moon night.
In this way, there are only less than twenty full-moon nights in a year at most.
－－－－－－－For these creatures who want to go against heaven and practice, they only need to devote twenty nights a year to practice... To be honest, if you want to go against heaven and achieve righteousness, it will be really great.
Too easy, too difficult!
Therefore, rather than saying that they absorb moonlight to practice on a full moon night, in fact, strictly speaking, they are tempering.
Cultivation is actually carried out every day, and the moonlight on a full-moon night is like a forging hammer to steel, used to remove impurities from the inner elixir cultivated by Wu Cunjing and others.
In other words, moonlight is not actually a tonic for Qi refiners/monsters. Qi refiners/monsters only dare to expose the inner elixir they have cultivated to the moonlight, and the time cannot be too long.
I have to inhale the inner elixir to warm it up, and I dare not include the moonlight in my body's cultivation track.
