Chapter 514: How preposterous!

When the moonlight is bright, the night sky looks high and distant, while when the moonlight is dim, the night sky appears oppressively low, as if within reach.

Clouds quietly float by, concealing the faintly glittering Milky Way, as well as the dim moonlight. Trees of all shapes and sizes, in the darkness, seem like a host of evil spirits baring fangs and brandishing claws, with the dark clouds resembling distant spying ghosts.

In the vast mortal world, daytime is when the living venture forth, while deep into the night is when heaven and earth grant lonely spirits the chance to breathe.

Many birds and insects are messengers of the night; when they emerge and chirp, it is a reminder for mortals to quickly rest, to assure their safety.

And the crowing rooster at dawn reminds the nocturnal spirits that the golden crow is coming, to swiftly return for their safety.
