On the eighth night of the sixth month of the twenty-seventh year of the Shi Yan calendar, the sky was full of stars. A snow-white light flashed across the northern sky.

The meteor shone yellow and shining, like a flickering flame, falling from the blue night sky to an unpredictable location in the north. Along the way, a white dazzling trail was dragged out, quietly passing through everyone's eyes.

On the top floor of the stargazing tower of Qin Tianjian, the candlelight is dim and will be extinguished. A warm wind blew the curtains, and a few more candles were extinguished.

"Vision, vision, a vision that my Dayue Dynasty has not seen in a hundred years. Xiahou Yuanrong, the old man in the Qin Heavenly Prison, touched the white beard under his chin and said a word slowly.

"Uncle Tang, is this vision auspicious or evil?" Xia Lingran, who was respectfully standing aside and watching the celestial phenomena, clenched his hand and looked at the northern sky from afar, his eyes wanting to understand the darkness behind the starlight.

The two deputy supervisors of the Qin Heavenly Prison sat on the inside of the stargazing platform, one anxious to read the various classics and historical materials, and the other was anxious to write a book, waiting for the prison to make a conclusion and present it to the emperor as soon as possible.

Xiahou Yuanrong chuckled a few times, and his voice echoed long in the air. Pointing to the sky to the north, he was meaningful: "Ran, more than 20 years ago, there was a vision in the same place there. But not a real vision. ”

Xia Lingran looked sideways in disbelief at this wise man who had been hidden behind the scenes, the former head of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Yuanrong. There was already uncertainty in his tone: "Uncle Cousin, what do you mean—isn't the disaster really over yet?"

Twenty-one years ago, it was the same place, in a similar situation. The northern polar star was hidden, and in order to stabilize the situation, the truth was not made public. Moreover, Qin Tianjian also used the crime of deceiving the public with evil words to drive away the nameless astrologer.

Now, there is a new movement in the polar star, what kind of fluctuations does this have on the newly stabilized Dayue Dynasty?

"Hehe, no, no. Xiahou Yuanrong laughed loudly on the increasingly gloomy stargazing platform, his voice was no longer vague, but had a sense of chaos dissolution: "Do you know why I passed on the position of patriarch to you and came to Qintian Prison to be this Laoshi sub-eunuch?"

"I don't know. Xia Lingran bowed her head respectfully and asked.

"I've spent the rest of my life doing nothing more than this vision. Xiahou Yuanrong continued to stroke his snow-white long beard and said: "Beidou is the image of the emperor's chariot, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light have their own attributes, and Tianshu is the hub of the seven stars; And what they are guarding together is the pole star of the North Celestial Pole - Gou Chenyi. Gou Chen is a triple star composed of three stars. In the sixth year of Shi Yan, the seven stars appeared together, but the North Star disappeared, in fact, because one of the North Star had fallen. But there are only a handful of people in the world who know of this vision. ”

"Ah......" Xia Lingran, who has always been calm and elegant, was inevitably surprised: "Could it be that the 'calamity star from the sky' that person said is not a metaphor?"

Xiahou Yuanrong looked at the sky with an older and clearer gaze, and the pole star, which had just been dark and deep due to the fall of a star, faintly revealed a glimmer of light, like a faint starlight emerging from the black mass that could not be dissolved.

"I stood here for the rest of the night and observed the Polestar, and found that the Polaris, which was as bright as a torch, had been hidden for one night and then dimmed, and then faded away, but not as much as before. In the past three years, the North Star has been even more gray, not much different from the Seven Dou. But, tonight the pole star has fallen again, you see-"

Xiahou Yuanrong suddenly exclaimed loudly, pointing to the North Star, his face full of disbelief.

The two prison deputies also put down the things in their hands and ran to watch, and their eyes widened in shock: "God bless Dayue." We've finally waited for this day. ”

The two prison deputies held up the dragon candle on one side of the crane-shaped candlestick, bowed to the ground, and looked up at the north from time to time, their eyes full of piety and ecstasy.

Xia Lingran raised his head, only to see that a dazzling light suddenly appeared at the place where the polar star had just fallen in the north, although it was only for a few moments, but it was really visible. The entire northern sky was half lit up, and half of the starry sky was obscured.

The wind gradually fell and blew again, and at this time there was no warmth just now, but a hint of coolness. Looking down at the half of the capital city below the stargazing tower, it is still full of prosperity. Not far away, the Dayue Imperial Palace hovers for several miles, the palace lights flicker like a galaxy on the ground, and the winding eaves and thick walls are faintly visible.

Heaven and earth, at this time, are actually plunged into nothingness but dazzling light. The fall of a star, and the appearance of a star, began suddenly between heaven and earth.

Xiahou Yuanrong couldn't hide his joy: "Finally let the old man wait for this day." The pole star retreated, and the dark star that had suppressed the brilliance of the North Star for more than 20 years finally fell, and the eternal North Star reappeared to shine, auspicious, and auspicious. God bless my Dayue Dynasty. ”

Leaning lightly, Xia Lingran finally put down the big stone in her heart, loosened her tightly locked eyebrows, and smiled with the breeze.

Xiahou Yuanrong touched his beard and waved his hand to let the two prison deputies return to the back of the table: "Quickly write down today's auspicious elephant and present it to Your Majesty early tomorrow morning." ”

Xia Lingran let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Over the years, I have finally been relieved. ”

After speaking, he bowed and said goodbye to Xiahou Yuanrong.

Behind the five-fold gate of the stargazing platform, several servants who had been waiting for a long time brought thin cloaks, handed them to Xia Lingran, and then followed him away.

After seeing Xia Ling leave, Xiahou Yuanrong turned to look at the sky, the dazzling light just now had faded, but it was still the brightest star in the sky. What I didn't say to Xia Lingran just now is that the North Star is one Gou Chenyi, and the other is Beichen.

Looking at the northern sky, which has returned to normal, Xiahou Rongyun unconsciously said: "For example, Beichen, where he lives, the stars arch over. That's what I meant when I named you Beichen. Be born again today, and see you tomorrow. ”

With a deep sigh, he was silent for a long time, holding the trunk and leaning on the brilliant starry sky: "The past is all abandoned, I hope you can all be liberated." Yes, Ning Yue. Now that everything is back on track, your sacrifice is not in vain. ”

A gust of wind blew a tear from the corner of his eye.
