Chapter 234 83: Celestial Phenomena

In Guangzhaifang, after drinking for three rounds, the monsters began to laugh and play in the yard.

Li Chan sat for a while, saw the candlelight in the study, went to open the door and saw that Dai Zhu was holding the candlelight in front of the window.Sao Qingniang rubbed the ink and was talking with Mr. Bi. Seeing Li Chan coming, the two looked over.

Seeing that Li Chan's face was still a little drunk, Sao Qingniang said softly: "There are dried kudzu flowers and tangerine peel in the kitchen, I'll make some hangover soup." After finishing speaking, she walked past Li Chan.

"Fucha, you came just in time."

Mr. Bi greeted Li Chan to go over, and the stained painting at dusk had been burned, replaced by a piece of white paper spread out.He dipped his pen in some ink, then smeared it on the paper, and said casually: "The stars in the sky can be seen by looking up, and being with people every night is very common, but it is very mysterious. People in the world have different opinions on this." .” He paused, turned his head and asked Li Chan, “What about you, how much do you know?”

Li Chan thought for a while, and joked: "That's a lot. Mr. Bi, remember that a few years ago in Longwuguan, the town general married the governor's daughter. The woman was pregnant before she left the boudoir. It is said that it was a meteorite." Entering the belly is priceless."

Mr. Bi stopped writing, "I think it's better to wait for Qingniang to make the hangover soup before drawing."

Li Chan smiled and said: "Farewell, farewell, it's just a joke, if you want to talk about the stars in the sky, I remember when I was guarding the gate of Qingque Palace, I heard a few Taoist priests say that in ancient times, there was a Taoist lineage in Qingque Palace, who was good at walking. The art of fighting with gangs can be used to infuse oneself with the divine power of the stars, but now it has been lost. On the contrary, it is said that Xiyi Mountain, which is connected to the Shenting, still inherits this kind of orthodoxy. Although I don’t know it, this sacred place of Taoism A set of Liesu 28 swords, but it is widely spread in the world, and I have also learned a few moves."

Mr. Pen continued to draw, and said "hmm".

Li Chan also said: "I was studying in Lantai a few days ago. In ancient times, when emperors worshiped the heavens, there were often gods who passed down the will of heaven. They used astrology to help the emperor divide yin and yang and build four seasons. The five elements set the divisions. For nearly a hundred years, emperors worshiped heaven, but gods were rare. I don't know if the historical records are wrong. Si Tianjian still observes the stars and makes calendars. Although it is not as accurate as in ancient times, the people of Li can keep up with the farming season. But it is said that no one can do it except Yuan Jianzheng. According to the celestial phenomenon, I have insight into the secret of the sky."

"You've been serious about studying recently." Mr. Bi nodded, his hands still moving, "Yes, people in the world regard the celestial phenomena as God's will, watch the stars as calendars, no matter farming, weddings, funerals, construction, travel... everything is appropriate. Avoid, use this as a proof. If there is a change in the sky, it is a good or bad omen. For example, if the five stars come out of the east, it means that the emperor's martial arts and martial arts have been praised by God. For example, the first court for four years, the autumn stars are seen in the daytime, There was a severe drought in many places, the people were in dire straits, and rebels were everywhere. At that time, Emperor Xiaojing almost couldn't even be the emperor, so he had to write a "Zhaojizhao" to publicize the world. He walked from the imperial capital to the foot of Mount Tai without riding a horse for thousands of miles. Pray to the heavens, the heavens feel their sincerity, and finally rain down."

Li Chan listened with gusto, but Mr. Bi didn't say anything more, and asked, "How do you feel after hearing these things?"

Li Chan said: "Emperor Xiaojing, although he is the supreme human being, is too pitiful." He rubbed his chin, "The current emperor is different. It is said that he has defied the destiny, killed his brother and ascended to the throne, and disregarded Xiyi Mountain's obstruction. Going west out of Longwuguan Chantaodu Mountain, it is much more domineering than that."

"It is true to say so, but the situation is different, so there is no comparison." Mr. Bi paused, "But you also know that although the Human Emperor is the supreme humane, he cannot disobey the will of heaven. A movement of the sky can determine human nature Rise and fall, so people in the world think that celestial phenomena are the will of heaven and the way of heaven."

While speaking, he had already drawn a picture of the sky, the ink was spread all night, and countless star dots were dotted outside the Milky Way.

"The sky is really the way of heaven? It's not."

Mr. Bi dipped some clam powder mixed with egg white with the tip of the pen.

The tip of the pen touched the west of the astronomical map, and there was a white spot on the painting.

He used a rabbit hair brush bought for [-] Wen outside the Daxiangguo Temple, and covered with Shuzhou hemp paper. The aroma of boiled tangerine peel outside the window and the sound of playing wafted into the candlelight. Everything was normal.

Outside the window, on the pitch-black sky, an extra star quietly appeared.

……

In the Qin Tianjian, the instrument of dividing the day and setting the time is running endlessly.

Young Supervisor Xu Ruowang still had a sick look on his face.Last year, I traveled west with the emperor, and spied a woman in red at the Jiaolong Lake at the foot of Taodu Mountain. She was seriously injured and has not recovered yet.

In the huge copper ball, he observed the hole in the spherical shell with his hands behind his back. When he looked to the west, his eyebrows twitched suddenly, and he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.Looking at it again, my eyes couldn't help but widen. Under the western sky, beside the dark demon star, there was an extra star.

When the demon star "Xuan Chen" appeared in the world a hundred years ago, the world was in turmoil and people were devastated. Now it has finally been peaceful for more than 20 years, and a guest star unexpectedly appeared next to it inexplicably!
Xu Ruowang was surprised at first, then his face turned pale, his lips trembled, he muttered "There is a guest star committing Xuanchen", and hurried out of the Fentian Dingchenyi.When I got to the stargazing building, I didn't see the steps in front of me, so I fell hard. Fortunately, I supported the ground with my hands and scratched a piece of oily skin, but I didn't feel any pain. I didn't even have time to knock on the door, so I rushed in.

"Yuan Jianzheng!" Xu Ruowang shouted repeatedly.

On the top of the building, Yuan Shuo was looking westward, when he heard the voice, he turned and waited.After a while, I saw Xu Ruowang rushing up.

"Yuan... Yuan Jianzheng!" Panting, Xu Ruowang swallowed hard, and pointed to the west, "Yuan Jianzheng, look quickly, there is an extra guest star on the east side of Xuanchen!"

"I've seen it." Yuan Shuo was not in a hurry, he chuckled, "This astrology is rare, but there is no need to be so flustered."

Xu Ruowang was in doubt, but seeing that Yuan Shuo was calm, he also calmed down a bit, and asked cautiously, "Then... Yuan Jianzheng, this astrology...is it good or bad?"

"It's hard to say." Yuan Shuo shook his head, "You go to the Fen Tian Ding Chen Yi and continue watching."

Knowing that Yuan Shuo didn't want to be disturbed, Xu Ruowang suppressed his doubts, cupped his hands and said, "Then the officer will leave first, it's cool upstairs, and Yuan Jianzheng needs to add more clothes if he wants to watch the stars at night."

Yuan Shuo chuckled and nodded, "Go."

Xu Ruowang resigned.

Yuan Shuo watched the young prisoner leave, then glanced at the demon star Xuanchen, and then cast his gaze to the southwest of Yujing City.

He who claims to be the only one in the world who can discern the secrets of heaven, his eyes are a little confused and worried at this moment, and he murmurs: "If it was 23 years ago, the celestial phenomenon would have been auspicious, but now...you are no longer a human being, but you don't know whether it is good or bad."

……

In the sky above Yujing City, a strong wind howled, and Wang Jun quickly swept across the clouds, slashing out sword aura, almost cutting the sky.

The black shadow was gradually approaching by him, although he tried his best to dodge, but was finally struck by his hidden sword.

In an instant, the man in black was cut into pieces along with the clouds!
Wang Junji was taken aback, and stood still in mid-air, the sword still not in its sheath, hesitantly looking at the place where the black-robed man died, those fragments were blown by the wind, he pinched his two fingers, and what fell between his fingers was a piece of broken pieces Paper.

He frowned, suddenly felt something, and turned around to look west.

On the east side of the demon star, a star quietly emerged.

"How could..."

Wang Junji was stunned for a moment, standing among the confetti in the sky, looking down at the lights of Yujing City.

The city of Yujing is still bustling at night, with watchmen walking the streets and alleys beating gongs, women singing in Goulan Wasili, monks in the temple adding ghee to the lamps, and Taoist priests meditating on futons in the audience. Son, no one looked up at the sky, let alone noticed the extra star.

But in the states of Dayong, and even outside the customs, there are deep forests shaking, mountains cracking, lakes and seas churning, and in many inaccessible places, countless demons roared and howled towards the west in shock and eagerness.

In Guangzhaifang's study room, Li Chan stared out the window.

The pen master put away the pen and poured out the black water for washing the pen.

He put down the brush washer, and pointed to an ant nest in a grave under the window. The side of the ant nest had been blackened by the pen washing water poured every day.

"For those who are good at divination among ants, there may be a prophecy: 'Every evening, black water will come.' The ant country will regard this as the way of heaven. But what kind of way of heaven is this? It's just that you practice calligraphy and painting recently, often around the time of unitary every day. and also."
