Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Through the layers of white bones...

At the back of the island, go all the way down the mountain road and come to an open space.

This clearing is adjacent to the shallows of the sea.

Chen Ye looked toward the shoal and found several broken fishing boats, turned into wreckage and half-buried on the shoal.

Looking from a distance.

In front of the field of vision, a gray fog appeared in the ocean full of bones.

The further areas are surrounded to the edge of gray fog.

The open space not far from the shoal is a piece of lifeless black soil, contrasting with the surrounding white bones, black and white intertwined.

Among the abruptly spanning bones, there is only one lonely stone tablet, standing among the bones.

The stone tablet had been weathered for three hundred years, and the words on it had long since been smoothed away, turning it into an anonymous stone tablet.

The short old man took Chen Ye to the side of the stone monument. He gently placed his hand bones on it, as if patting the shoulder of an old friend, and then played the erhu, with sadness and sighs in the music:

"So many years have passed, and many past events have been forgotten. Only by playing music again can we resonate with the memories stored in the stone tablet."

"I used to think that memory was part of the soul, but I don't think so anymore."

"Consciousness and memory are too short, and they will be forgotten after too long. Instead, stones have witnessed the changes in the world. Only stone tablets can remember the past three hundred years."

This piece of erhu music is more complete, conveying the thoughts of the short old man completely.

From this, Chen Ye learned about the memory of the old man Erhu on this island, which was witnessed by this stone monument.

As long as you play the suona in your hand and resonate with this stone monument, you can see everything that happened three hundred years ago.

"Are you ready?" the little old man asked.

"Ready."

Chen Ye took a deep breath and replied firmly.

This time.

He chose to play on the suona given to him by the old man Erhu.

It seems that after many years, the sound of suona is floating on the seaside again.

Under the dim sky, the stone tablet seemed to have triggered some kind of resonance, emitting a faint golden light.

This golden light turned into silk thread, and was actually connected with the golden star behind Chen Ye.

"Did the resonance succeed?" Chen Ye's eyes moved slightly. He noticed that the stone tablet conveyed a certain spiritual power and wanted to connect with him.

At this time, the short old man's eyes were like torches. He closed his eyes, listened to the music played by the suona, and raised his head slightly, as if he didn't want to let tears fall.

But unfortunately, his empty eye sockets would no longer shed any tears.

At this moment, Chen Ye noticed that the picture in his field of vision, in the overlapping light and shadow, seemed to span three hundred years, as if he was going back to a long time buried in the long river of history.

The surrounding shadows began to melt like water, and a brand-new scene was reflected in Chen Ye's pupils.

Open your eyes again.

Chen Ye felt as if he had traveled to a new world.

The bright sunshine passed through the treetops and fell on the ground, casting mottled light and shadow.

Under the clear blue sky, there is an endless ocean, with the tide lapping at the golden coast. Several children wearing primitive tribal costumes, long hair, leather vests, and primitive bone chains are naked. Feet, playing on the beach.

At this moment, as a wave of waves came, a child exclaimed:

"Look, there is a figure there."

Everyone looked toward the seaside and saw a young man unconscious beside a rocky shoal, leaning against the edge of a wooden boat, seemingly breathing weakly.

Chen Ye tried to move his body and found that following his thoughts, he floated over!

He looked down and saw that his body had turned into the form of gray mist, floating in this space, witnessing what happened in this time and space.

"I never thought... that one day I would look like that boy Yu Xian."

Chen Ye complained in his heart. With his outstanding spiritual power, he quickly adapted to the action pattern of this "body". He followed the group of children who ran to save people and floated next to the unconscious person.

All I saw was the unconscious young man, who looked young, free and handsome, and could vaguely see the shadow of the old man playing Erhu.

"It should be him."

From Chen Ye's handsome young face, you can see a bit of the old man Erhu, but his appearance is not at the same level as when he was young.

All I can say is...time is really a butcher's knife.

Several children carried the young Erhu man back to the tribe.

The elders of the clan immediately called the witch.

The witch was wearing a black robe, holding a bone staff in her hand, exuding a mysterious aura.

She prepared some medicinal powder, soaked it in water, and gave it to the old man Erhu to swallow.

The effect is surprisingly good!

It didn't take long for the old man Erhu to regain his consciousness.

When the clan members asked him where he came from, the old man Erhu shook his head and just answered blankly...

Comes from a far away place.

When everyone asked where it was, the old man Erhu shook his head and said he couldn't remember.

This scene seemed to arouse the sympathy of the Poseidon's descendants, who took the amnesiac victim in and lived together from then on.

At this point, the screen suddenly turned into a ghost and jumped several years.

I saw the old man Erhu turned into a middle-aged man with strong arms, driving a wooden boat back from the sea.

He said: "There will be a change in the sea soon. This is the last time I go to sea."

Then, he took down the two rafts.

One of them was made into a suona!

The other one is made into an erhu!

When he played the erhu, the melodious sound spread throughout the village.

The villagers enjoyed the music, and playing orchestral instruments became popular.

A young man seemed to be very interested in the instrument in the hands of the old man Erhu, so he took it and learned to play it.

His talent is very average, but with extraordinary hard work, he still learned to play the suona.

Although it sounds terrible...

However, the old man Erhu praised it. If you can play the suona, it is already very good.

It's just... I don't know why, but the appearance of this young man is very vague.

He is not tall, looks like he is only fourteen years old, and has small bones.

Chen Ye inexplicably felt that this young man gave him a very familiar feeling.

However, the phantom image of the boy only flashed by briefly and soon disappeared.

…………

The screen changed again.

Suddenly, the sky turned into blood.

Disaster struck the island.

Disease and death spread throughout the village, and all the children of Poseidon became ill.

Chen Ye stared at the sky, his pupils shrinking slightly.

at this time……

He saw a black sun hanging high in the sky, emitting a deathly pale light.

All things seem to have lost their original color under the illumination of this light. The earth is full of creatures that died of pain. Their corpses are frozen in the moment of death in strange postures.

In despair, the old man Erhu suddenly appeared from the gray fog on a boat.

His small boat returned to the village from the vast sea of ​​bones, bringing wine with an expression of excitement and joy.

The wine of eternal life that can obtain eternal life, escape from all diseases, stay away from death, and obtain happiness forever!

There is a waterfall and spring water above the island. As long as wine is poured there, all the spring water will become eternal wine!

Spring water slides down from the mountain stream and flows throughout the village, and everyone can drink the miraculous wine of eternal life.

This exciting news spread throughout the village.

Whether they were half-doubting, choosing to believe, or facing death and having no choice, all the villagers drank from the spring of the wine of eternal life.

A miracle really happened.

Just overnight, the villagers who were on the verge of death due to the disease immediately regained their vitality. They stood up again, regained their healthy bodies, swayed their limbs, and walked happily, with happy smiles on their faces, talking and laughing.

They no longer feel the pain of their disease.

In this doomsday-like disaster, the villagers don't even need to drink water or eat, and can still move freely.

Above the sky, the black sun exudes the dead light that causes the earth to decay. All things wither, except for the residents of the Skeleton Village, living happily in this colorless world, playing music, as if they are living in heaven. so happy.

However, such days lasted for a month, and something unexpected happened!

The oldest man in the village suddenly withered his skin. Pieces of dead skin peeled off from his body, revealing the bones under the skin. You can see the heart beating underneath, blood vessels intertwining along the bones, the intestines and stomach secreting sticky gastric acid, and the kidneys have completely turned black. It was like a piece of shriveled dead flesh attached to it.

The whole village was frightened, thinking that the old man was cursed and turned into a terrible monster.

They picked up the old man and threw him out of the village into the sea of ​​bones.

A surprising scene happened...

When the old man was thrown into the sea, his consciousness completely dissipated, and the flesh and blood on his body suddenly turned into black blood, flowing all over the ground. Except for the head, the remaining bones fell away with a snap.

Only the skull was left, biting up and down, struggling to make a sound.

Click, click, click!

The weak words were blown away by the sea breeze, making it difficult to hear even if you leaned closer.

But with Chen Ye's strong sense of hearing, he could vaguely discern what the old man was saying:

"All of you will be damned forever!"
