Chapter 138: Mandate of Heaven

This is the second time I have seen the moon god, the veil covers her eyes mysteriously, but I can vaguely feel her aura graceful and elegant, as if there is an unquestionable and blasphemous aura, so that everyone around is infected by her. ◢ With ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ said Щщшlā I can't help but sigh a little, what is a magic stick, that is, she doesn't need to say a word, she has been invisibly firmly deterred by her.

"Ren-kun. Fusu said.

I was also stunned when he suddenly called me like this, and when I saw his solemn posture, I secretly sighed in my heart. It was nightfall, and they were still coming together, and the title was still so formal, there must be something important to explain.

"There was news from Xianyang that the jade bi that my father sacrificed to the water god ten years ago was sent back by an unknown person, and that person left a word. Fusu paused and said worriedly, "That sentence is only five words - Zulong died this year." ”

I was shocked, and a chill surged up my back, and the third strange thing recorded in the history books before the death of Qin Shi Huang finally happened!

I subconsciously glanced at the moon god standing on the side, my eyes met, the corners of her mouth were barely visible, and she quickly regained a joyless and angry expression.

Fusu continued: "This matter is too strange, but the successive ominous events still make my father have to be cautious. ”

"Glowing and guarding your heart, the meteorite fell into Dongjun?"

"Exactly. He suddenly had a long way to go, "My father ordered the emperor to meet and sacrifice Dayu." This important ritual requires the participation of the monarch. ”

"Sacrifice to Dayu ......" is indeed recorded in history, I didn't expect that I would also be involved in it, and in this way.

The moon god glanced at me with a confused expression, and said slowly: "Jiu Ren Si will follow me to learn rituals." ”

"I have one more thing to worry about today. The father and emperor attach great importance to this matter, and Ren Jun will follow the moon god to observe the celestial phenomena and divination at night, and try his best to determine the time of the ceremony. ”

"I?divination?" I'm a little helpless, I don't know anything? The last time Zhang Liang took me to watch the sky at night, I was already dazzled, and I certainly couldn't see anything famous.

"Jiurensi is the master of the Chengying Sword, the Chengying Sword gathers the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and the mandate of heaven is carried, and it is naturally best to divinate by the Jiurensi. ”

Qin Shi Huang explained that I had no qualifications to shirk, so I bowed: "Yes." But I'm sure I don't know anything about divination, and I'm going to ask Lord Lunami for more advice. ”

"Kurenji is too humble. This side please. ”

Fusu had other official duties and could not stay for a long time, he got up with a hint of apology and said goodbye, bowed slightly to me like encouragement, told me a few words of sea wind and cold, and ordered the maid to put a cloak on me, I was really careful and thoughtful at all times.

Zhang Liang also said that most of the actions of the moon god were actually protecting my safety and did not harm me, so although she had a beautiful aura, I didn't panic too much about what she would do. And Fusu's meticulous care did give me a lot more peace of mind, his friend is really interesting, if there is a glimmer of life in the future that allows me to lend a helping hand to him, I think I will not hesitate, just ...... Do I really have that chance?

The stars in the sky were shining, but the night was deeper, and the cool breeze was blowing, and the clothes were rattling

I followed the moon god to the highest platform of the mirage, and suddenly she raised her hand and swiped in the air, and an invisible wave of qi surrounded the surroundings like a wall of wind, leaving only the gentle whistling of the breeze

"What does the Kurenji think is destiny?" she asked slowly, looking at me, her voice as deep and calm as the sea under a winter sun.

The moon god suddenly asked such an esoteric question, and I was very curious about what the moon god said, so I humbly said, "Please advise the moon god." ”

"Mandate of Heaven, a force that mortals cannot control, and those who cannot master the Mandate of Heaven will be controlled by Mandate of Heaven. ”

The moon god probably knows more secrets than I do, and maybe I can learn something from her.

I nodded thoughtfully, and said tentatively: "It's enough to do everything to obey the mandate of heaven, and if you want to control the mandate of heaven, I'm afraid it's an act against the sky, right?"

"Presumably, Jiurensi should already know what the so-called power to control the world is. She didn't answer, her gaze stopped at me for a moment, and then said sternly, "And it is precisely its existence or extinction that is likely to be decided in your hands." ”

"In my hands?" I pretended to be slightly surprised, and laughed at myself, "Thousands of elephants, I am just a drop in the sea in the earthly world, and the destiny of heaven is not something that any of us can decide. ”

The moon god said lightly: "It seems that Jiurensi has already made a decision. ”

I thought about it and weighed the meaning of the moon god's words, smiled lightly, shook my head, and said, "Lord Luna I am not qualified to make any decisions, and I don't think that mastering the power of the world has any meaning for this world. Master Xun has clouds: the stars rotate, the sun and the moon pass the fire, the four times of the emperor, the yin and yang are magnified, and the wind and rain are blessed, this is the destiny of heaven. In front of it, it is insignificant to forcibly confront it with a powerful force, let alone dominate it. But we should not be enslaved by the Mandate of Heaven, but should be used by the Mandate of Heaven, as the Master said. Obey the heavens and respond to the people, and the people will conquer the heavens. ”

Although Master Xun's words are quite insightful, they are also too neutral, the so-called mandate of heaven can not be grasped, and perhaps the most decisive force is time. ”

"Time?" isn't the time that the moon god says is history, and perhaps the only person who knows the end of history is me, a traveler. In this way, the moon god's understanding of me is not so deep that he already understands my past? And what the Yin and Yang family has been plotting is so big that it wants to move the destiny of heaven and act against the sky?

I was silent, the moon's gaze on my face was visibly speculative, although the gaze was obscured by the veil, but faintly flowing, it was still like a glacier breaking through the embankment, and the cold soaked the skin.

"Xun situation often says: Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. She smiled mysteriously and asked incommittally, "And the meaning of the stars is really just a point of light in the night?"

"The Meaning ...... the Stars"

I am reminded of a famous quote from an English writer: What is your spherical thing? Is it the language of God? or the scriptures of heaven?

There was another difficult brainstorming in my mind, and I wondered, "Light, also spreading some kind of message?"

Her complexion was still calm, and she bowed slightly: "Jiu Rensi's comprehension is beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”

I really couldn't bear the praise of the moon god, and my head was actually a mess of mush, what photons, particles, wave-particle duality...... Although I learned some of these things in high school physics class and read some of them on Discovery Channel, I really couldn't understand them at all, and they were no different from reading books from the sky. I only know that the fastest way to disseminate information in our modern society is optical fiber, and light can naturally transmit information. It's just that I'm still very confused, the moon god said this, is this related to divination?

The moon god swiped his finger at the sky again, his sleeves were as smart as the wind, and a band of light in the air crossed the east.

"What did Kurenji see?"

I frowned, tried to think hard, tried to connect the images of the stars among the dense stars, but after seeing for a long time what the stars should be, I had to sigh and shake my head.

The long sleeves of the moon god waved again, and the embarrassment above his head moved like a fast forward, and the stars moved.

"If a man is not born to know, he can be free from confusion. If you carefully observe the changes in the heavens, you will definitely be able to understand something. ”

Hundreds of billions of stars, over and over again, give people the illusion of floating in the sea of stars, time flies. I was stunned by this spectacle in front of me, and it felt more beautiful than watching a 4D movie, and I couldn't take my eyes out of it. It's just that he really didn't see any mysteries at all, but he became more and more dizzy.

I shook a few steps, and quickly lowered my head to stabilize my center of gravity, but it suddenly went dark in front of me.

I felt as if I had lost consciousness for a moment, and when I regained my vague consciousness, I only felt like I was lying on my side with no focus point under me, as if floating in mid-air. The brain is in a mess, and I don't know where I am or why.......

A few candles flickered in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings, and only then did I realize that I had returned to the room where the mirage lived.

"Yun'er. ”

The soft voice with a slight smile rippled in the candlelight, and I was shocked, and my body was taken into a hot embrace.

"Ovary!"

I turned around, delighted and surprised, and saw that he was dressed like a squire, which was also a little strange, but the words blurted out were inconsistent: "You don't even recognize you when you dress like this." ”

He raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed like cold jade: "How can you see Yun'er if you don't do this." ”

I was a little overwhelmed by what seemed to be liquid on my face, I was obviously surprised, why I suddenly cried, and it seemed that I was really sad, but I didn't know why I was sad, and there was even a touch of horror that was deeply enveloped.

I sobbed and buried myself in his arms, closed my eyes, and hugged him tightly, afraid that he would disappear in the next second. Is this a dream? Why is it so real? What am I afraid of?

Just thinking like this, his hands were empty, and his body staggered and fell to the ground, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a fire. It's really a dream!?

"Don't come here!" I heard my own voice shout heartbreakingly, and my eyes burned and ached with the wind in my face.

The canopy of the distant sky was dyed red by dusk, and the figure in the blur became clearer and clearer, and I palpitated, it was Zhang Liang...... Why shout that sentence at him?

His green clothes were dyed with a touch of blood, dazzling and bright, his two beautiful eyebrows were condensed like mountains after rain, his lips were extremely tight, and his tired inky eyes looked at me, and his gaze was as empty as dead ashes.

An awe-inspiring and cold despair that had never been felt before poured out of my heart and filled every vein, turning over the river and the sea, the blood gushing, and the pain was unbearable as if it had been torn apart.

What the hell is going on? What's going on!

It's a dream, right?

Note: Xunzi understands the "Mandate of Heaven" as a natural law with inevitability.

"Heaven" is objective, the operation of nature has its own laws, and it is not subject to human will, but it does not mean that people should passively obey nature, but they should give full play to their own subjective initiative and master the laws and laws of nature, so as to better grasp the destiny of human beings.

This assertion that "heaven" (theocracy) has nothing to do with the rule and chaos of human society is the first time to theoretically distinguish man from God and nature from society, and is a powerful critique of the doctrine of destiny and theocracy. Man's understanding of nature is no longer a deification of nature and blind reverence.
