Chapter 312: The Warring States Period, the General's Mansion
The fourth year of the Warring States Period, the South China Sea, Baiqi Lianguo, night.
It's autumn, the north wind is getting colder, and everything in the world seems to be in decline.
Unknowingly, a layer of dead leaves has fallen in the courtyard. When the wind blows, they begin to fly and dance. Afterwards, they drift all over the sky, leaving a desolate place.
It was already the second watch, and ordinary people were already asleep at this time, but there was still a room with candles lit in the huge general's mansion.
The candlelight flickered and shone in front of the window, reflecting an exquisite and pretty face.
Sienna was leaning in front of the window, holding her cheeks in her lotus-root jade hands and looking out the window in a daze. Although it was already dark, she didn't feel sleepy at all. She could only look up at the stars to kill all kinds of loneliness.
At this moment, the domestic dog in the general's mansion suddenly jumped up from the ground for some reason.
The dog seemed to have heard something, stretched out its neck and barked wildly toward the outside of the courtyard, and an iron chain jingled.
At the same time, a hoarse voice floated from far outside the house - "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of fire candles, the sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of fire candles..."
The night watchman's voice gradually faded away in the bleak autumn night. Only when no sound could be heard anymore did the dog stop roaring, turned to look at Sienna in front of the window, sneezed and lay down.
Without the literati's ink pen, the night seems a bit lonely.
Sienna was looking at the night sky in a daze, when she saw a stream of water falling from the sky. She was startled and sat upright.
Liuying cut through the night sky with a dazzling light and flew down diagonally. The speed was as fast as a flying arrow.
At this time, the family dog in the house heard the noise and jumped up again.
The dog grinned and growled at Liu Ying, causing the chain to jingle, as if it was about to break.
"What is that?"
Sienna was horrified. She got up and lay down by the window and looked out, but she saw only the dead silence of the night sky, where could there be any glimmerings?
But the dog still roared. How could it be so frightened if there was no movement?
Sienna was puzzled for a moment and murmured: "Strange, what exactly is it? A meteorite?"
Meteorite is a kind of stone that fell from the sky. It is very precious in this ancient martial arts era when you can't catch the moon in the sky and you can't catch turtles in the sea. It can be said that it is rare to find.
Due to the hard texture of meteorite, it was a high-quality material used by craftsmen in the ancient martial arts era to make weapons. A weapon made entirely of meteorite is often worth thousands of gold, and is regarded by warriors as an artifact that can cut iron like clay. Throughout the
There are only three meteorite artifacts in the entire South China Sea, namely the Sun Shooting Bow, the Mountain-Severing Sword, and the Hundred-Resentment Sword.
After becoming a general, Sienna was nurtured by her father since she was a child. Naturally, she also likes swords, guns and sticks. Remembering that meteorite is the best material for making magical weapons, she hurriedly left the boudoir and wanted to go out to search for meteorite.
In fact, how did the two thousand gold daughters of the general's family know that what fell into the mortal world was not some meteorite? It was a huge and strange iron ball.
This iron ball was as big as the sun and the moon. It flew from nowhere. After breaking into the atmosphere, it rubbed against the atmosphere and lit up the entire night sky in an instant. The scene was extremely spectacular.
The place where the iron ball fell was a vast forest. This forest had existed for an unknown number of years. The trees inside were filled with mist, and each one was thicker and thicker than the last.
A dozen miles above the ground, the iron ball threw a thick parachute.
The parachute was driven by the airflow and opened instantly with a "stab" sound. At the same time, several dazzling flames suddenly spurted out from below the iron ball.
With the help of these powerful airflows, the speed of the big iron ball flying downward like a meteor began to slow down.
Finally, just before it crashed, a dozen huge rubber airbags popped out of the big iron ball.
These airbags inflated instantly after popping out of the cabin, tightly wrapping the huge iron ball inside in the blink of an eye.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the big iron ball that fell into the world hit the ground hard. The ground trembled immediately, earth and rocks flew up, and trees were broken. The power was as terrifying as the bombardment of a comet.
Hearing the loud noise, the birds and beasts living there were so frightened that they screamed and fled away with their wings.
For a time, the night was no longer quiet.
With the help of a huge rubber airbag, the iron ball immediately bounced up like a rubber ball after hitting the ground, and flew upwards for several hundred meters before being pulled back to the ground by gravity.
The iron ball bounced up and down fifteen times. At the sixteenth time, a mountain several hundred meters high struck the air bag, causing one of the air bags to explode instantly, sending the huge metal ball flying thousands of meters with a bang.
Far away, it finally rolled and crashed into a tall cliff. The rocks collapsed due to the impact, and then it stopped with green smoke.
There was another burst of birds screaming, and then the silence of the night returned.
…
It was night, people were silent, and a bright moon hung high, reflecting the bright earth.
On this night when thousands of lights were turned off, a strange phenomenon occurred in Cailiang, Kyoto - a stream of red fire fell from the sky, and in an instant, the wind and clouds surged, birds and beasts screamed, the scene was like a ghost king descending to earth, causing the world's colors to change drastically.
Exclaimed again and again.
In the general's mansion, Sienna was also extremely surprised when she saw a sudden vision. She was curious by nature, and she would only stop if there was something unexplainable that she wanted to find out.
I saw her wandering for a few steps in the house, suddenly clapped her hands, and decided to find out.
This girl had a bad temper and would not delay her decision. She immediately left the room and hurried out.
By the moonlight, Siana tapped her foot lotus and walked around until she came to a glazed and blue-tiled house and stopped.
The pretty girl stretched out her hand and knocked on the door, bang bang bang, almost knocking the wooden door apart. While knocking, she shouted: "Nerd, get up, get up!"
The man in the room was sleeping heavily when he heard someone shouting and asked in a daze: "Who is it so late?"
The little girl said angrily: "Who else calls you a nerd?!"
The person in the room was surprised: "Cousin?"
"It's me! Open the door quickly!" Sianna said.
The man hesitated and said: "Cousin, it's already the second watch, why are you here with me? Do you want me to accompany you for night hunting again? I won't go. I have to recite Zhu Siwen in front of my husband tomorrow. If I delay my sleep, I'm afraid
I can’t recite it anymore.”
"Stop talking nonsense, can you open the door?" Sianna raised her foot and kicked the door twice.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming."
The scholar seemed to be extremely afraid of his cousin. Hearing the threat, he was worried that she would kick down the door. He was completely sleepless and forgot to put on his shoes. He jumped out of bed and opened the door for her.
As soon as the door opened, Siana grabbed him and said eagerly: "Come with me out."
The scholar shouted: "Where are you taking me in the middle of the night? Cousin, cousin, let me put on my pants first."
Siana didn't care about this, she took her cousin and walked out.
The scholar cried out in pain and was soon pulled to the kennel in the courtyard.
The big black dog was very happy to see its owner and waggled its tail happily in an attempt to please Sianna, but the girl pushed it away without even looking, bent down and shouted towards the kennel: "Saihu!
Come out, come out quickly."
Seeing that Saihu didn't come out, Siana said again: "Saihu comes out, I will take you to eat meat."
When Saihu still didn't come out, Siana became anxious. Regardless of the fact that she was the general's daughter, she rolled up her sleeves, knelt on the ground and crawled into the doghouse.
"You little rascal, stop sleeping, come out quickly, come out... come out!"
The little girl was dragging Saihu in the kennel. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely. When she saw that she couldn't pull Saihu out, she stuck her head out of the kennel and said angrily to the scholar: "What are you doing so stupidly? Come and help me pull the tiger out."
Drag Saihu out."
"Oh!" The scholar hurriedly climbed into the doghouse and started working with the little girl.
It wasn't until the two of them were exhausted and sweating profusely that they pulled the Saihu out of the kennel. Unexpectedly, the Saihu in this girl's mouth was actually a giant cat covered in snow-white body and as big as a lion!
