A yellow moon?
The moment Tang Ling saw the yellow moon, many thoughts popped up in his mind.
The thoughts calmed Tang Ling down. He stopped struggling and allowed the middle-aged man to drag him back to one of the houses in town.
'Am I going to witness history?' That was the thought that popped up in Tang Ling's mind when he stepped into the house.
Until now, he still had no idea how the Purple Moon era started. How was the old civilization overthrown?
Was it a long process? Or did it happen overnight?
History was covered up, but based on what Tang Ling heard, all of them pointed to one thing. The Purple Moon era should not have been a long process as it arrived quickly.
While Tang Ling was thinking about all that, he was also absent-mindedly listening to the people in the house who were mocking and cursing him.
Ever since he stepped into the house, the insults and curses never stopped.
Judging from the words, Tang Ling could tell that his current name was Joshua and he was a young man who was fostered in this family.
The middle-aged man who had just pulled him back was his uncle, the one who had been cursing at him was his aunt, and the two women who had been sneering at him were his cousins.
Why were they so rude? This was because Joshua's parents had disappeared four months ago, and they hadn't sent him any money since then. Joshua had become a freeloader. What kind of attitude could he expect from others?
The reason why his uncle dragged him back was not because he was worried about his safety, but because he needed him to complete an important assignment for one of his cousins.
"Get lost. You don't deserve dinner for running around today," his uncle finally said.
"It's my assignment. If you screw me over, you know what will happen." The red-haired cousin pouted and looked a little ugly.
"Forget it. Just ignore him. Emily, do you think the thick purple fog will appear again tonight? My God, my date with Zorwen is going to be ruined again, "another cousin interrupted Emily and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner.
"Blanche, stop bothering me. Who cares about your date with Zorwen? However, this annoying fog really makes me feel uneasy. I'm still wondering if the shadow I met last night was a wild dog! "
"I think your eyes are playing tricks on you. There's no such thing as a huge wild dog! Are you hallucinating because you haven't had a boyfriend for a while? "
"Blanche, do you have a death wish?"
"Hahaha …"
Tang Ling turned around and went upstairs as he listened to the tedious and boring conversation.
He had transformed into Joshua and lived in a small attic on the rooftop of this building.
The attic was built with a pointed roof. He could not even straighten his back at the lowest part and had to lower his head to reach the highest part.
"What an interesting encounter. Am I Harry Potter?" Tang Ling teased himself as he rummaged through the attic.
Harry Potter was a rather influential book from the old civilization. Back in the Hope Barrier, he often heard Christina talk about it since she loved the art of the old civilization.
As a matter of fact, Christina was not telling the story to Tang Ling. Instead, she was telling it to Vian. Tang Ling only heard a little from the side.
Mage? Foster in someone else's house? Isn't this a similar encounter?
However, Tang Ling frowned when he thought of Vian's name. His heart still felt a little stung.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Ling stopped his wandering thoughts. Then, he took out a black book that was glued to the bedside table with cellophane tape.
"I told you. There must be some clues." Tang Ling smiled and opened the black notebook.
This was Joshua's diary, and it recorded some of the trivial things in Joshua's life.
With Tang Ling's insane memory, he finished the thick diary in less than half an hour.
In the diary, Joshua's parents were mysterious. They were always busy, and they got busier and busier. Somehow, they got heavier and heavier.
In the end, when Joshua was six years old, they sent him to his uncle's house in this small town.
Joshua loved the town. It was peaceful and had nice scenery with friendly people.
Most importantly, there was a girl named Daisy in the town.
She was Joshua's childhood sweetheart, and they had met on the first day Joshua came to the town.
In short, time was a long process. The complicated, pleasant, and unpleasant things that happened between them became the foundation of Joshua and Daisy's relationship.
Therefore, they fell in love.
Even though they were only 16 years old, their relationship at that age was the purest and most beautiful. Even though they could not see the future clearly, it did not stop them from committing to each other for the rest of their lives.
As a matter of fact, everything in the town was great. If his parents did not stop providing him with living expenses, Joshua would have stayed in the town for the rest of his life.
Even though his uncle and aunt did not take good care of him and would even deduct his generous living expenses to support their family, Joshua did not care.
However, ever since his parents stopped sending him living expenses, everything went south.
He dropped out of school and worked a few odd jobs, but it was not enough to support himself. He had to live under someone else's roof, which made him more like a servant.
He was very busy, so much so that he barely had the chance to see Daisy.
That night at the square, he and Daisy were supposed to meet, but maybe because of the strong wind or some other reason, Daisy did not show up, so his uncle brought him back.
That was the general content of the diary.
Tang Ling highlighted a few key points.
Firstly, Daisy.
Secondly, the drastic changes in the weather that were recorded in the diary. This had happened around five days ago.
The drastic changes included the strong wind, a moderate earthquake, and a storm that should not have happened in this season.
Tang Ling really wanted to find out more about the world news, but Joshua did not seem to care about it. He did not even record it in his diary.
He did not have any newspapers in his room, let alone a computer.
"Should I ask those annoying people downstairs?" Tang Ling was not sure.
He then highlighted the third key point in the diary — the purple mist.
The purple mist had appeared two days ago. It was purple, thick, and solid. When he touched it, it felt like flowing water.
In Joshua's diary, there was a rare mention of the mist. "The news said that this is the result of human's destruction of the environment. I'm still skeptical about the conclusion. I think something is wrong with the mist. My body is sensitive to it, and I feel like it's changing me. '
Tang Ling stood beside the window and searched his body. The half-pack of cigarettes was still on him.
Actually, nothing about him had changed. It was just that he didn't know what kind of image his so-called family had of him.
Lighting up the cigarette, Tang Ling looked at the yellow moon outside the window.
It was a beautiful moon that made one's heart feel peaceful and warm, as if they were being enveloped by the gentle night.
Unlike the Purple Moon, who always looked so strange and cold, filled with an indescribable sense of mystery.
"So, will there be a purple mist tonight?" Countless speculations popped up in Tang Ling's heart, and he was looking forward to the purple mist the most.
It was at that moment that Tang Ling looked down and noticed a figure outside the yard staring at his window.
No one knew when the strong wind in the town had stopped, but the creepy wails and howls had also disappeared.
Looking at the figure, Tang Ling gestured for the figure to wait before he nimbly climbed down from the window.
Although he had somehow lost his basic abilities, his Precise Instinct was still there. His nimble reflexes did not change either, so climbing out of the window was a piece of cake for him.
After jumping out of the yard, Tang Ling grabbed the figure and hid behind a big tree.
"Daisy, why are you here?" The figure was Daisy. There were a few pictures of Daisy in Joshua's diary, from when she was young to now, so Tang Ling recognized her at first glance.
Daisy's eyes were blurry with tears as she leaned on Tang Ling's chest. Although Tang Ling was a little reluctant, he believed that Daisy was the key to everything, so he had to be patient.
"I'm worried about you. I heard from the others that your uncle dragged you back. It was windy back then, so my parents didn't allow me to go out. " Daisy wiped her tears away as she spoke. She then took out a roll of money from her pocket and shoved it into Tang Ling's hand. "I snuck out. Take the money. Don't give it to your uncle."
"I have to go back now."
"Daisy." Tang Ling held her back. He had a lot of questions in his heart, but judging from how hurried Daisy was, she obviously could not answer a lot of them.
Tang Ling said in a hurry, "Come with me. Let's go now. I've had enough of my uncle's family. Let's go somewhere else, okay? "
"Joshua, are you out of your mind? You told me that when you turn 18 and become an adult, you'll go to Larvi City to learn how to repair. You told me to wait for you. Why are you leaving now? " Daisy was confused and anxious. She had been out for a while, so she was afraid that her parents would notice her.
"Maybe it's because the purple mist is too unsettling," Tang Ling simply said.
"Stop joking. The purple mist is everywhere in the world now. My dear Joshua, I know it's hard for you to stay at your uncle's house, but I think the idea you suggested before is safer. You have to be patient. " Daisy then kissed Tang Ling on the cheek and said, "Please believe me. I'll always be waiting for you."
Daisy then hugged Tang Ling tightly before she turned around and jogged in the other direction. She suddenly turned around and said with a charming smile under the moonlight, "I think you've gotten better. Maybe the day where you can resist your uncle is coming to an end. "
After saying this, Daisy hurriedly ran away, her figure quickly disappearing into the night.
Tang Ling looked at Daisy's back and sighed helplessly. "Isn't it only natural?"
Tang Ling then quickly went back to the attic.
It seemed like taking a shortcut to decipher the formation was not going to work. Or was it a fixed and unchangeable story?
He would never help Emily with her homework, so he had been waiting ever since he came back.
It was 9.21 pm.
The sky seemed to darken a little, and the warm, yellow moon was hidden behind the clouds, disappearing without a trace.
The purple mist seemed to be born from the heavens and the earth as it surged in from all directions and surrounded the small town in an instant.
"The moon can disappear?" Tang Ling curled his lips into a curious smile. It was not like this in the Purple Moon era. No matter what the weather was, the Purple Moon would always appear in the sky. Even the clouds could not block its purple radiance.
However, that was not the main point. The main point was the mist.
Tang Ling inhaled the purple mist in an intoxicated manner. The pure and dense energy reminded him of the training room in the Tower of Babel.
No, even the energy in the training room was not as dense as the purple mist. It was also not as pure as the purple mist.
Was this the reason why the era was overturned?
No, it should be more than that. Everyone was pointing at the Purple Moon! The Purple Moon did not appear, so the era should not have been overturned.
So, is this a prelude?
As Tang Ling pondered over the history, he opened the window and leaped up to the roof.
In Joshua's diary, whenever he was depressed or sad, he would come up to the roof to look at the sky and the surroundings.
In the past few months, Joshua had been depressed every day, so since he had become Joshua, how could he abandon this precious habit?
Tang Ling found a spot and sat down with his legs crossed. He already had an idea in his mind, and he wanted to test it out on the roof.
Therefore, in the thick mist, Tang Ling started to circulate the Thousand Satin Skill.
As expected, his body did not change at all. The whirlpool in his dantian from cultivating the Thousand Satin Skill was still there.
It was a pity that the whirlpool was not fully formed. It was just a little more condensed than the last time in the training room.
It had been more than a month. Tang Ling was a little emotional. If it was not for the purple energy that hindered his cultivation, the whirlpool would have formed a long time ago.
As long as the whirlpool was still there, the Thousand Satin Skill could still be cultivated. Why not give it a try when the energy was abundant?
Tang Ling closed his eyes and started to circulate the Thousand Satin Skill.
A minute later, he suddenly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, it's like that. Joshua, are you a fan of Kun? "
