Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

Chapter 58 [Travel to Moruponka] Citrine

The following story revolves around a planet that "doesn't exist".

Two meteors pierced the night sky, and finally began to separate within a certain distance, and finally went their separate ways...

Matilda left for the Southland one day in advance, changing planes twice in the process. She started on the 13th and ended her journey with Baiyun on the 15th.

Matilda looked around and found that everyone in the carriage was very tired. The young man was resting against the suitcase. He didn't sleep well. The old man next to him was smoking a cigarette. After a while, the carriage was filled with smoke. Maybe it was due to respect for the elderly, or maybe it was because the long-distance train exhausted people's energy. No one stood up to criticize the old man's behavior. Except for the occasional whisper or sigh, the whole carriage was filled with smoke. There was silence.

Matilda couldn't stand the acrid smell of smoke, so she stood up and walked out of the carriage. Before leaving, she glanced at the "No Smoking" sign posted in the carriage, which was bright red in the smoke.

She came to the corridor and heard a noisy sound coming from outside the train. It should be the sound of the wheels of the train rubbing against the track, or it could be the "clang, clatter, clatter" of various parts and gears working together.

Matilda thought for a while, there were still a few hours before her destination, which made her feel a little bored. She stared at the dark night outside the window, and began to think that when she reached her destination, she would have to rush around to find the mystery. And abundant celestial energy - oh, that celestial energy is simply prepared for a genius fortune teller like me.

The lights in the corridor suddenly dimmed, and the moonlight took the opportunity to slip into the corridor. The silver light shone on Matilda's pale golden hair. As the moonlight fell, Matilda felt a sense of loneliness. She stood quietly in the corridor. Here, I feel the silence and loneliness around me.

Suddenly, a powerful snoring sound came from an unknown compartment, bringing her thoughts back to reality. She didn’t know how her mother was doing now. Matilda thought to herself that if it hadn’t been for this trip, she would be selling citrine with her mother in Delhi.

She sighed softly, turned around and walked into the carriage. The old man no longer smoked. He was huddled in the corner and sleeping with a thick blanket. As soon as Matilda sat down, she heard snoring echoing in her ears. It was from the young man.

After several hours of long train journey, the train slowly stopped at the station accompanied by the screeching sound of brakes. Someone was smoking again, Matilda couldn't help but frown, and looked at the no-smoking sign again. People were holding their luggage and preparing to get off the bus.

"Molu Punka Station is here, passengers getting off the train please be ready to get off..."

Matilda stood up from her seat and rubbed her sore neck helplessly. This train journey was so boring. Apart from the scenery along the way, there was really nothing to do to enrich myself.

The car door opened, and the crowd poured out of the car like a dense swarm of sardines. Matilda took her luggage and tried her best to squeeze out of the car to avoid friction with other people.

After leaving the platform, the sun was shining brightly in the station. Matilda looked back and glanced at the red leather train that disgusted her. It was about to leave in five minutes.

The train station was bustling with people, and the weather in the South was very hot. Even though Matilda wore sports shorts and a light blue shirt, her sweat still wet her underwear. There are many vendors setting up stalls, mostly selling local specialties from southern China. Of course, don't try to buy from these vendors. The goods they have are sold very cheaply outside the train station.

Matilda finally found an empty seat. She almost slumped down on the armchair like a deflated balloon, and then took out the information about the celestial body from her pocket. The weather in the south is hot, and the air is filled with hot and humid atmosphere, which makes people feel a little dull. Matilda wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands, opened the information, and read attentively.

In this hot weather, few people are interested in astronomy, especially those vendors. They only care about how to sell their goods in the market, but Matilda is different. She is particularly dedicated to that celestial body. He even gave up the time he spent selling citrine with his mother.

Hmm... She thought for a while. The first step in finding the celestial body was to find the meditation practice place.

Matilda pulled out another page of information, which was a travel promotion poster. The content of the promotion was the annual Candle Star Festival of her destination "Molu Punka".

The poster reads, "...and Moluponka designated the annual meteor shower as the Candle Star Festival to pray for the protection of Lord Viinda..."

Matilda instantly understood something. Why that mysterious celestial energy suddenly appeared was probably related to the meteor shower cycle here, and Viinda, this name appeared in the information she searched for.

She put the information away and opened the map. Matilda is currently located east of Moluponka. There are very few attraction signs here, just like the Mediterranean Sea where the principal is about to go bald.

The meditation practice point that Matilda had divined before was the north cave of a temple called Moruponka. She was completely immersed in her thoughts. The vendors on the side could only shake their heads and look for the next customer.

Perhaps that temple was related to the comet myth she was investigating. She was very convinced of this view. She was very confident in her divination skills - Matilda's divination had never been wrong.

Drawing a circle on the map with a pen, Matilda felt comfortable all over after determining the target. She looked up at the ceiling of the train station. The ceiling was new and must have been built not long ago. She thought of her parents again, and they seemed to be much older in Delhi than here.

Matilda felt a sense of longing in her heart. She missed her parents and the old city. Although it looked much older than other cities, it was the place that carried her family and childhood. The harbor of memory is a part of her heart.

She quietly stared at the ceiling of the train station, feeling the fresh air and unfamiliar environment. Although she was in a strange city, she knew in her heart that no matter where she was, the love and warmth of her family would be with her.

Thinking of this, Matilda seems to be full of strength, and she will continue to move towards her goal, but now she is too sleepy, she needs to rest, the hard train seat, the old man smoking and snoring, the train is noisy The sound really exhausted her physically and mentally.

She didn't have much strength anymore. She put the suitcase on the back of her legs and leaned her lax body on the seat. The sleepy nerves gradually took over her body. Matilda slowly closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

She didn't know that behind a pillar, two children were watching her.

"Oh... how bold." One of the little girls laughed.
