Chapter 899 The blood moon is in the sky and the clock is running
Staring at the blood-red moon in the night sky, Xuanzhen's 'crow' felt his back soaked with cold sweat.
On the Mid-Autumn Night in the Western Continent, the sun has already risen in the Eastern Continent!
Since the head teacher of the Xuanzhen Sect did not remind them during the day, it meant that nothing special happened on the Mid-Autumn Night in the Eastern Continent, but at this moment, the red moon above the head looked strange.
Their Xuanzhen Sect is already a heretical demon sect!
But this moon is even more demonic...
The crow's body shrouded in black robes trembled slightly. The crow is his bandit's nickname, and it's not correct to call him a crow. He should be called a blackbird!
"Something big has happened! Something really big has happened!" Blackbird whispered to the little brothers around him: "The fifth era has just begun, how come such a once-in-a-thousand-year monster appears? Put it in our center
In this country, the heads of ten prime ministers are not enough to compensate for such a celestial phenomenon!"
"Brother Blackbird, are we still looking for the young leader?"
The Xuanzhen cultist next to him showed two arms covered with tattoos. He clearly had dragon and tiger tattoos, but he shrank his head like a quail.
A glimmer of light flashed in Crow's eyes: "No more looking for him! He wants to hide from our brothers in the sect, and we can't do anything about him. After all, we still have the friendship with the old sect leader, so we can't take action against the young sect!"
"Didn't the Young Master say that he donated the books to the foreign devils' hidden library?"
The crow looked at the blood-red moon in the sky: "After such a big incident, the hidden secret library must be empty inside. Let's just go to the door and grab what we can. If we can't get it back, let's also get some foreign devils' scriptures back and give them to the leader.
Just give me an explanation!"
Crow looked in the direction of the Night Watch headquarters, his left eye suddenly rolled over, and his pupils rolled over to reveal the pure whites of his eyes.
The crow just stared into the distance with one eye white.
The crow, as majestic as a hawk, was locked in an iron cage. Its wings flapped and hit the iron railings as thick as a finger. It was difficult to even shake the cage. With the invisible magic defense circle wrapped around it, it wanted to open it.
The cage not only requires a key to a fist-sized iron lock, but also requires a specific ritual.
Otherwise, this iron cage would be invisible to them...
But this does not prevent Crow from behind the cage to observe the Night Watch headquarters, which is already in chaos.
In addition to the remaining personnel guarding the archives room, evidence room and seal room, all the elite night watchmen came out and headed towards Miscato University.
"Those black dogs can't care about us!" Crow said firmly: "With the blood moon in the sky, something big has happened! All the black dogs are out, and they are not here to cause trouble for us!"
The two boys next to them looked at each other and said, "Brother Blackbird! Let us show some color to the foreign devils!"
The three of them climbed out of the sewer, dressed in black robes, and rushed towards Miscato University.
The public security in Carfas City is not very good. Every time it falls, decent people will not stay on the streets. Even college students and pleasure seekers who are looking for fun at night will only wander around places like Katyn Street.
As the three of them rushed from Xiacheng District to the college area where the University of Michigan is located, many people dressed in mysterious ways passed them by.
The believer with tattoos on both arms looked back at the two strong men running wildly on all fours on the dark street, and couldn't help but stand there in shock.
"Wolf... wolf demon!"
The legs of the believer were as sluggish as if they were filled with lead.
The crow looked back and cursed: "What a wolf monster! The foreign devil is just half a monster, so why call him a werewolf? He is far worse than a real monster!"
As they were talking, two witches with pointed hats whizzed past them on broomsticks.
Crow watched them all rush in the same direction, and once again confirmed his intuition. Something big had happened in the Western Continent, or at least in Camelot!
…………
In the small courtyard, under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, an oriental table is placed in the middle of the courtyard, a bit like an offering table before a god.
But directly opposite the altar table, there is no statue of the god, only an osmanthus tree and the blood moon hanging on the branch.
A stack of mooncakes is placed on a plate, four on the bottom and one on top!
The crust is baked golden brown, and intricate patterns are overprinted with molds.
The overprint on the top is a picture of the Moon Palace. In a cold palace, there is a goddess shaped like a toad, a laurel tree with twisted human limbs, and a giant chopping off limbs with an axe.
The four moon cakes underneath are also imprinted with a legendary story.
They are: Chang'e flies to the moon, the Jade Rabbit makes medicine, the Toad Palace wins the laurels, and the Tengu eats the moon, all of which express Qian Chen's best wishes for the world.
For the top moon cake, Qian Chen used an allusion from this world - the three saints creating the moon.
The moon is the earliest one to be created among the three major interfaces of the sun, moon and earth. Qian Chen and Kunlun Mirror used small mirrors to test how to best carry the light and shadow of the two realms of the true spirit. Those small mirrors scattered into stars, and in
After experimenting with the stars, the two of them experimented with the structure of the mirror of the world using a larger mirror, which later became the moon!
And on the moon surface where the Kunlun Mirror was left in the spiritual world, a group of spiritual creatures opened up a world. Those who looked like toads were their descendants, a strange moon-dwelling race - the moon beast!
There is also the Fortune Cauldron trying to create life on the lunar mirror, and the first flesh and blood of living beings are shaped into mother trees by Creation.
And Qian Chen himself enlightened a giant who was responsible for cutting down the flesh and blood of the mother tree to use the Fortune Cauldron to create humans and other life forms...
The other mooncakes are allusions to the earthly immortal world. As a former Guanghan Fairy candidate, Qian Chen was very familiar with the allusions of Chang'e flying to the moon. He even hid part of the secret of the West Kunlun elixir in it.
The Moon Rabbit Pounds the Medicine is the story of how the Queen Mother of the West ordered the Great Sage Mao Rabbit to pound the elixir.
Chang'e's flight to the moon is the myth of Chang'e, the founder of Guanghan palace, drinking the elixir of death and flying to the bright moon.
The Tengu Eclipse was a battle in which the Great Sage Tengu was left behind by the Supreme Emperor to devour the old sky, sun and moon at the critical moment of conquering the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Court.
The story of winning the laurel in the Toad Palace is a story that a senior Taoist priest broke off a laurel branch at the gate of the Moon Palace and brought it back to the human world as a joke.
Qian Chen filled four glasses of osmanthus wine and handed them to Kun En and others.
The three of them drank all the oxen, and then secretly, like some kind of religious secret ceremony, worshiped the moon devoutly and ritually, recited the praise of the blood moon in their mouths, arranged the knives and forks neatly, and then picked up the knives one by one.
With a fork, he ate up the mooncakes like a mouse in the bloody moonlight.
For those who didn’t know, I thought they were eating people!
Qian Chen was also disappointed! How could he spend such a good Mid-Autumn Festival in such a virtuous manner?
The blood-colored moonlight was silently transforming their spirituality, and the mysterious power of moon cakes and osmanthus wine gradually merged into their blood. At this moment, except for Gable, who had taken another step forward on the road to transcendence and touched the threshold of the baptized,
Quinn and Elijah have finally reached spiritual perfection and can open the Ouroboros Door!
Gable led them to the alchemy circle that had been set up and began to guide them to open the door to the yin and yang cycle.
Qian Chen was staring into the distance, at the increasingly weird Wisdom Bell Tower under the moonlight...
The old wizard of the Omniscient Tower was trying his best to prevent Anderson and the others from entering the bell tower. He was wearing a professor's robe from the Fourth Era and holding a long mithril staff. He stopped the princess and Anderson and said: "Nightwatch, without the permission of the school board of directors.
, you can’t search this place!”
Anderson looked at the moon in the sky, the blood-red moonlight filling the earth. He was getting more and more anxious, but he had to hold back his temper and said: "Professor Nicholas!"
The princess said solemnly: "We have no time!"
She pulled out the two-handed sword from her waist, held it flat in front of her chest, and said loudly: "I am the Queen of Camelot, Knight Gawain of the Knights of the Round Table, overseer of the Night Watch, and donor of Miskato University.
As honorary members of the Board of Directors, as well as red dragon bloodline and secret keeper, I order you... to get out of the way and help us investigate the legacy of the Original Sin Sect!"
"Otherwise, you will become the enemy of the Camelot royal family!"
Seeing this, the old wizard could only use his long staff, slowly kneel down on one knee, and said: "I respect your order, princess! But please don't harass our students..."
At this moment, the bell tower behind him suddenly made a clicking sound.
The slight sound of the machine's spring made several people quickly look up, only to see that the long second hand on the bell tower above their heads seemed to jump one step.
clatter!
This time, everyone saw it!
The hands of the Wisdom Clock jumped once again. It had been damaged for thirty years. Most of the mechanical springs behind it were damaged. Even the Royal Society of Mechanics could not repair the big clock. It started to rotate again. The wizards in the Omniscient Tower were stunned and shocked.
In his eyes, the second hand slowly skipped the second half of the circle, and this time the minute also started to move!
Goddess Wang looked indifferent and pointed at the bell tower: "Why is it moving?"
The great wizard was at a loss: "I...I don't know. Without the eternal movement and planetary gears, it is impossible to mechanically anchor the movement of the stars in the astral world. Without a balance instrument, the power of the abyss and the spiritual world cannot be balanced in an orderly manner."
, in such chaos, it is even more impossible for the concept of time to exist!”
"A clock is just a manifestation of the order of a wise clock!"
"Its essence is to anchor Si Chen in the chaos of the spiritual world, and then apply the order of the world to the spiritual world... The planetary gears correspond to the rotation of the stars, and the eternal movement steals Si Chen's power."
"So, under the influence of the Bell Tower Wisdom Clock, the spiritual world and the abyss have a 'timing sequence'!"
The great wizard grabbed the sparse hair on his head, looked at the time displayed by the wisdom clock and said in despair: "The time is right! The essence of the wisdom clock is an extremely powerful secret ritual, with the help of the power of the twelve Si Chens, anchored by the stars
Point, sort out and determine 'time'. Now all the anchor points have been broken, and the eternal movement containing Sichen's power has also been destroyed, so what exactly defines time?"
"Whose power can compare with Si Chen and the stars?"
"Si Chen is not a god, and the power of the gods is completely incomparable... They even surpass the world itself, and all existences are as small as ants in front of them. The so-called savior is just a person who wants to be stained with Si Chen's glory.
Ridiculous mortal!"
He suddenly raised his head, looked at the blood moon in the sky, and suddenly murmured: "It's Si Chen!"
"The only person who can match Si Chen's power is Si Chen himself..."
The great wizard suddenly understood that there was no need for the stars or Si Chen's anchor. Only Si Chen, who symbolized the power of timing, could continue to operate this secret ritual when the underlying logic completely collapsed and no longer existed.
Secret ritual.
Because the essence of the Wisdom Clock Secret Ceremony is to anchor the timing!
