Book 1: Chapter 119

Book 1: Chapter 119

In Uncle Three's journal, he recorded an example of a poet with God-given talents. I didnt know how many times I had heard of this example before. It was difficult to confirm if these memories had long been in the heart of that poet, or if they had really been inserted into that person's mind from the heavens on a destined day. This example proved that the heavens interacted with mankind.

People bewitched by thunder would want to go to a certain place as they grew older. This place had no name, but Uncle Three called it Thunder City.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

According to literal interpretations, Thunder City was incredible. It spanned an area of 1,150 kilometers and the walls were almost 270 meters tall. It was said that the immortal Yellow Emperor turned into a thunder spirit and built Thunder City, but these explanations were based on Taoism. For Uncle Three, Thunder City was just a name. This place definitely wasnt a city, but no one actually knew whator whereit was.

In other words, people would have a desire to go somewhere after listening to thunder, but no one knew where that place was.

Uncle Three thought up a lot of possibilities, which are discussed below.

He put forward a hypothesis that several conditions had to be met in order to form such a strong desire. The first condition was chasing thunder.

During your normal life, you wouldn't be affected if you heard thunder every once in a while. But all the strange symptoms Uncle Three had noticed would start to appear while you were chasing thunder. It was a result of chasing thunder clouds and hearing a lot of thunder in a short amount of time.

This situation would also occur when you repeatedly listened to thunder recordings. Of course, if you watched My Fair Princess (1) repeatedly in a short amount of time, it may also have the same effect.

Uncle Three also wrote a lot of other theories. For example, the temple where the Tathagata Buddha devoted himself to spiritual development was called Leiyin Temple (2). Were there other people in other ancient countries who received information from thunder? No one knew.

I looked at the photos I had found on Yang Daguang's body, which I had copied into my phone. His eyes seemed to show that he really liked her, but most men didn't know that this kind of like was only good for them. Uncle Three's like, on the other hand, was the kind that was good for Chen Wen-Jin.

I thought hard about it, but there wasnt anywhere I wanted to go. I had heard a lot of thunder, but it didnt seem like it had made me crazy. In fact, my mind felt pretty peaceful.

Thunder City, what kind of place is it?

I didnt know why, but I suddenly wanted to go there.

TN Notes:

(1) 1998 Chinese period drama. Synopsis is here on Viki.

(2) Leiyin means something like booming thunder. The important part is that lei=thunder. Here are some pics and stuff of the temple. Fun fact: Tathagata is Buddha's name for himself and has many layers of meaning.
