Chapter 239 [Catch a little messenger]
Sang Ziping and Fang Chang are both practitioners, not afraid of the fierce sunlight.
Together, they looked at the sun with their hands behind their backs, admiring the rare sight that had been seen for many years.
The clouds dissipated, and the sun sprayed down the warm light again. The passers-by on the road couldn't bear this light, and they all looked away and continued on their way. But Fang Chang and Sang Ziping didn't need it, they kept staring at the sun until the shadow was in the middle of the sun, leaving a golden ring.
After the shadow had completely passed, an hour had passed.
Fang Chang turned around and smiled to the side: "Annular solar eclipse."
Sang Ziping looked worried, and said: "I don't know what this solar eclipse will indicate, Mr. Fang, you have done a lot of research on astronomical phenomena, do you know?"
"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary celestial phenomenon." Fang Chang walked in front and said, "The same phenomenon will occur every fixed time, and it doesn't indicate anything, so don't worry."
"That's good."
The two walked towards Sanjia Village in the northeast direction, and they were going to go shopping in the town.
The bustling streets are often the most active and lively part of a place, so it is worth visiting.
Sang Ziping took two quick steps and followed Fang Chang, then walked slowly for a while, seeing the town was already in front of him, he suddenly looked up at the white clouds in the sky, Fang Chang said:
"This trip to the west, I hope to find the training hall of the monsters, so that the world will be less traumatized, but I don't know if it is right or wrong to do so?"
"Why do you have such doubts?" Fang Chang didn't stop at all:
"Kalpa is born from the natural movement of heaven and humanity, but eliminating kalpa is also in line with the sky, and it is in line with the way of nature if we let it go. And because man is the spirit of heaven and earth, eliminating kalpa is even considered to be a contribution to heaven and earth, and it has immeasurable power. Merit descends—although merit is useless to me."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang, for clarifying the confusion."
Sang Ziping did not directly answer the reason for his doubts, but turned his head and bowed, and then continued to walk towards the town.
People in and outside the town have recovered from the shock of seeing the solar eclipse just now, resumed production and life, and are busy with their own affairs, but they still whisper from time to time, talking about the phenomenon just now.
It is estimated that many years from now, people all over the world will mention this solar eclipse. Of course, only some areas can see the phenomenon of the sun like a ring.
"Huh?"
Fang Chang stopped suddenly and looked at the sky around him.
Then he took two steps and stood by the side of the road, smiling at Sang Ziping: "Let's wait here for a while."
Sang Ziping didn't ask any more questions, and followed Fang Chang with a little doubt, to the side of the small road at the entrance of Sanjia Village, waiting with him for the inexplicable event.
"Flick Leng Leng—"
I saw him pointing at the sky, and the dove flying out of the sky seemed to be frozen in shape, its wings were close to its body and would not flap again. It screamed and fell from the sky like a stone.
Then Fang Chang caught him.
Seeing this, Sang Ziping quickly spoke to dissuade him:
"Mr. Fang, this pigeon obviously has someone's ankle ring, so it's not suitable for making soup."
These words made the pigeon caught in Fang Chang's hand tremble suddenly, and then buried its head tightly in its wings, covering its eyes with its wing feathers.
Fang Chang smiled and said, "This is no ordinary pigeon."
Sang Ziping was a little suspicious, so he took a closer look at the bird: "Oh? It really looks like a domestic homing pigeon? There are small bamboo tubes on its claws. Maybe it was raised by a shop to deliver news. Could it be? …Is there anything special about this pigeon? Well, that's a really unusual reaction."
Not to be fooled, Fang Chang looked at the gray-winged and white-feathered pigeon over and over again, and told Sang Ziping: "That's right, its reaction is indeed not an ordinary bird—this is a pigeon that has opened its mind, or in other words, it is A fine pigeon."
"Oh! Interesting indeed."
Sang Ziping stepped forward, took the pigeon from Fang Chang's hand, still stuck its small head into the wing, looked over and over, but still couldn't see why.
He just wondered: "It's extravagant to send a letter with an enlightened pigeon? It's really a blessing. Maybe it's among the domestic pigeons that are naturally enlightened after a long time."
Fang Chang shook his head, vetoing this possibility, he said: "It is not mortals who are using it to send messages, but the organization of monsters."
"You mean... there is a training hall in Sifang?!"
"Exactly."
"This is... In that case, let's take it apart and see what's on its feet. By the way, Mr. Fang, how did you find out that this pigeon is a ghost? I just saw you stop directly outside the town and wait for the pigeon to fly. Make moves." Sang Ziping was a little curious, and even wondered if Fang Chang had the ability to predict.
"It's nothing special." Fang Chang took back the captured pigeon from Sang Ziping's hand, untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, and said to Sang Ziping: "I have very good hearing. I just heard that the enemy in the village What they said before releasing the pigeon, they said they would report the eclipse to some 'mountain master'."
"As I expected, in such an important place with convenient transportation, the enemy has set up hidden posts, and they may even use carrier pigeons to communicate with each other. This time we just bumped into one of the contact points by luck. " The pigeon in Fang Chang's hand didn't resist, and even stretched out its legs so that the two could remove the bamboo tubes from its feet, but its head was still deeply embedded under the wings, motionless.
"Since that's the case, it really doesn't make sense for us not to visit the house for a while." Sang Ziping said with a smile: "But let's see what's said here."
The two of them unfolded the contents of the bamboo tube together.
It is a narrow and long paper tape, tightly rolled into a roll and stuffed in a bamboo tube, with densely written small characters on it. Fortunately, there is a sentence to read the label, which does not seem to be difficult.
"It really is them!"
After hastily reading the contents of the note, Sang Ziping sighed: "Finally caught the tip of their tail."
The note wrote in detail the solar eclipse that Sanjia Village saw this time, including the initial, extreme, and final moments of the eclipse, as well as the reactions of ordinary people around, as well as suggestions for this matter: They proposed that the above should unify The organization spreads rumors, which are spread by contact points in various places, so as to create even greater chaos in the world.
Fog gradually formed around, the sunlight that had just recovered from the solar eclipse was covered, and the nearby mountains and dangerous peaks and valleys became blurred, faintly visible in the white fog that kept rolling with the wind.
