There have always been words in this world, such as the Moon Wheel Kingdom, such as the famous laurel in the Moon Wheel Kingdom, and the white moon that emerges from the color of the laurel petals. However, the word "Moon Wheel Kingdom" in this world has never had a specific meaning, just like lightness, heavyness, clearness and turbidity, pointing to a faint meaning.

The Moon Master asked at this time, of course, was not the color, because he was asking about the Moon. Because of this question, Ning Que suddenly became nervous and at a loss. According to his previous style of conduct, at this time, he would definitely try his best to pretend to be stupid, but if he pretends to be stupid at this time, he would be really stupid.

Because the Master has pointed out that he is a man who is born to know.

Ning Que lowered his head, feeling cold sweat flowing behind his back, gradually wetting his clothes. After a long period of silence, his voice trembled slightly, "The sun and the moon are reincarnated, and the light and darkness are opposite. I think the moon may be something corresponding to the sun. The sun appears in the daytime and the moon appears in the night."

The Master said: "Be more specific."

Ning Que looked at the cliff not far away in front of him and the flowing clouds under the starlight, and fell into a long silence again, and then said: "It may be... a big stone ball suspended in the night dome. Because it can reflect the sun's light, it looks very bright at night."

He could not explain why he could describe the moon that did not exist in this world.

The Master looked at him and smiled, helping him give an explanation that might not be reasonable, but at least makes sense: "It seems that the scene you see in your dream is interesting."

Hearing the word Dream, Ning Que raised his head, looked at the teacher standing by the cliff, and looked at the clothes dancing lightly in the night wind, and seemed to have vaguely captured something.

“This idea is really interesting.”

The Master turned around and looked at the night sky, exclaimed and said, "The eternal night always needs some light."

"Everything in the world is invisible. One day appears in the day, and the corresponding moon is also good. But if there is really a moon, where will it be? If the moon reflects the sun's light as you said. Then wouldn't it mean that the sun is also in our world at night. But it's just not visible?"

"So when the night is, where is the sun? It really landed below the earth under our feet as it moved westward. Then it reappears in the morning?"

"Doesn't that mean the sun is rotating around our world? But the world we live in is a flat and open land. There are endless abyss at the edge. Why did I waited for more than ten days and didn't see the sun set in the abyss? It just disappeared so suddenly?"

The Master looked at Yeqiong with his hands behind his back and said to himself that he was not talking to Ning Que, but talking to himself, who had been thinking about the answers for countless years.

After a while, he looked at Chang'an City in the distant fields, frowned and said, "There are many places that still block them. If this world is a ball, it seems to be connected."

People in the secular world are used to the sun set and the light of the sky day after day, just like seeing the breakfast stalls by the street and the moss on the edge of the well, they never have any questions about these things, let alone think about why these things exist.

But the Master is not a person in the secular world, he needs to think.

The previous murmurings, there are probably few people in the world who can understand it, and even those who hear these words will think that Master is a somewhat crazy old man.

Ning Que understood a little, felt a little confused, and then there was endless admiration.

The Master obviously had no astronomical knowledge. He just reasoned simply based on Ning Que's description and was about to touch the truth of the world. However, that truth did not belong to this world, but another world, but did not know that that world existed in the long past, but the future a long time later.

"I have watched this night sky for many years."

The Master pointed to the high and dark sky above the cliff, pointed to the stars hanging from the other side, and said, "Whether many years ago or years later, the stars have always stayed in their original positions and have not changed any changes, which means that the relative position between the earth and the sky is fixed. This stability is full of a classical and solemn eternal beauty, but it is inevitable that it will be a bit boring after watching it for a long time."

Ning Que looked along the teacher's arm towards the night sky, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"But from the first year of Apocalypse, these stars in the night sky became dimmer day by day, and there was no difference in the eyes of mortals, but I knew they were getting darker."

The Master said: "There was a process of darkening, and the officials of the Imperial Heavenly Prison saw that the night covers the stars and the restlessness of the country."

Ning Que knew that it was this criticism of the Imperial Heaven Supervision that caused the Tang Empire to fall into a dispute, which indirectly led to Li Yu marrying from the grassland several years later. However, when he heard the teacher's words today, he realized that this criticism was actually true. At least the first half was true. It turned out that the stars in the night sky were really getting dark!

"Where will it be a matter of uneasy for the country."

The Master laughed.

Ning Que's mood was a little relaxed, but he did not expect that the Master continued: "If the whole world had entered the eternal night, how could there be only the Tang Dynasty and the country that could not be at peace?"

Thinking of the sentences similar to prophecy in the Ming word volume and some legends, Ning Que couldn't control the tension and fear in his heart, and asked: "Teacher, is there really an invasion of the underworld?"

The Master said: "The Book of Heavenly Books indicates the arrival of the night. There are also related legends and stories in the Xiling Sect and the ancient scrolls of the Buddha Sect. Because of these prophecies and legends, many wise men have thought about it for countless years. The throne of the light god went to the wasteland to preach, but founded the Demon Sect. The temples of the Buddha Sect stayed in the deep mountains and kept meditating. It is probably related to this. As for whether the legend is true, no one knows it."

Ning Que asked, "Teacher, don't you know?"

"I have said that there is no omniscient person in the world. Even those who are born to know can only know the things he has seen in his dreams. He still doesn't know them."

Ning Que remained silent.

The master looked at the night sky above his head, and after a moment of silence, he said, "In the past two years, your senior brother and I traveled in the world. We went to the cold northern region in the middle and found that the night had obviously grown a lot, and Rehai was gradually condensed, so the deserted people were forced to tear up the thousand-year agreement and ventured back south."

Ning Que has heard the legend of the underworld. Most of the people in the market know this legend, but the legend is a legend after all. In addition, the Xiling Temple has always been indifferent to such legends, so this legend has become more and more vague.

However, the Master himself is a legendary figure. When the legend of the underworld is solemnly spoken from him and it seems that there is evidence vaguely, the legend is probably true.

Ning Que felt cold, and his soaked back seemed to be about to turn into ice.

"No one noticed that even Chang'an City was colder than the previous year's winter. Of course, this may be just a chance, because so far, I still think that the invasion of the underworld is just a story to scare children, because no one has discovered the underworld, nor do I."

The Master looked at Ning Que's slightly pale face and comforted him, "And even if the eternal night comes, according to the records in the Ming Dynasty scroll and the ancient scriptures of the Buddha, it cannot be a very short process. It must be extremely long, maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, or even ten thousand years, what does it have to do with us?"

Ning Que said sadly: "The teacher is lying to others again. If you really don't believe in the story of the invasion of the underworld, how could you go around looking for the underworld? And how could it take ten thousand years?"

"Then tell me where is the underworld?"

The Master looked at Ning Que with a smile, and there seemed to be an extremely rich meaning hidden in his smile, and asked: "Or, in your dreams, where is the underworld in the world?"

Ning Que felt the teacher's gaze and remembered the bizarre statements of the great master Guangming about his life experience. The cold sweat in his clothes disappeared instantly.

Are you really the son of Pluto?

Did the teacher know that he was the son of Pluto?

...

...

Ning Que could not accept this statement at all because he had no idea what the Pope was, and he knew very clearly where he came from. And if this statement was true, he was really the legendary son of the Pope. Then the bloody storm that the Xiling Temple in Chang'an seemed to have some reason, and he hated this reason very much, even if it was unreasonable.

Looking at his anxious expression, the Master smiled and said, "When people think, Haotian is always laughing. If there is really a world of underworld and it will invade the world, it is also the supreme heavenly way that needs to be considered. What can you, a child, do and change? If you can't do anything, then what is the point of being so painful and anxious?"

Ning Que did not agree with the teacher's attitude. He thought about the scene of the elder brother hearing the Tao and entering the Tao in the evening. He thought that it would be okay to hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening. Even if it could not change the final end of the world's destruction, he might not even see this end, so that he could freely and happily live in the world with Sangsang until he was old. However, as long as he was a person who could think, he always wanted to know what the end of time was and why all this happened.

However, since he doesn't want to discuss this matter again, especially with him, no matter how much he asks, the Master will not say another word.

Ning Que lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he raised his head, looked at the master and asked seriously: "Then teacher, please tell me how my uncle died back then."

Then he added: "This matter makes sense to me."

Knowing that this incident is indeed very meaningful to Ning Que, because he is now walking on the path of his uncle back then, and he wants to change the ending of this story.
