Chapter 12 Those who follow the heavens prosper, and those who go against the heavens perish

night

Morning song

The stars are scarce

The night sky after the rain is like the purest black glass in the world, shining under the reflection of a little starlight, the hazy starlight shines on the deer platform outside the city, you can vaguely see that there are three figures on the deer platform, standing in the middle of the deer platform is an old man in a black robe, the black robe is a starry sky map outlined with silver thread, the long black and white hair is scattered behind him to cover the part of the star map on the robe, people can not see the whole picture of the star map, the old man in the robe raised his head, looking up at the night sky, as if he has already blended into the dark night。

The world thinks that King Yin is determined to build Lutai here in order to consolidate the capital and accumulate wealth and control his subjects, but he does not know that the fortunes of Yin Shang are gradually weakening at that time, and King Yin is trying to use the high vertical cloud Lutai to observe the starry sky at close range with stargazing, and the high vertical Lutai can make stargazers clearly see the changes of the stars under the starry sky, and also hope to use the power of the stars to change the fortunes of Yin Shang to the greatest extent, but the result is that it leads to the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, but it accelerates the demise of Yin Shang.

The thousand-foot-high deer platform has long been dilapidated after years of erosion and the baptism of war, and the stargazing array drawn on the stargazing platform to assist stargazers in observing the starry sky has also been destroyed, but the remaining deer platform is still 100 feet high, standing on it, stretching out his hand, as if he can touch the stars in the night sky, the towering deer platform has narrowed the distance between human beings and the starry sky, although without the blessing of the star array, standing on the deer platform can still observe the changes of the stars more clearly.

The night breeze caressed, the hem of his clothes flew, and the old man standing in the deer platform looked at the night sky with his hands behind his back, his eyes burning, and the glimmer forgot to see through the night, looking at the distant stars in the starry sky that were hidden under the night.

The stars were reflected in the pupils of the old man in black, which was the brilliance of the stars under the cover of the night, and the old man in black looked more mysterious under the hazy starlight.

quiet

It's as quiet as death

The old man in black stood there quietly with his head held high, as if he was a statue of a god who had stood there since ancient times, wise, distant and mysterious.

He's creating

Urging the heavens.

Whenever human beings look up at the starry sky, they will wonder what kind of force is providing the power for the movement of the stars, how the stars work, whether there are certain laws, what do these laws represent, and whether they can be changed by some force.

Never underestimate the human thirst for knowledge, and it is with this innate thirst for knowledge that drives humanity to constantly strive to explore the secrets between this starry sky and the things that lie beneath it.

Heaven's secret must not be revealed, not just people's mouths.

Everything in the world has its established destiny trajectory, the celestial phenomena are obscure, the destiny of heaven is mysterious, observing the celestial phenomena, peeping at and stealing the heavenly machine is extremely dangerous, the person who has the ability to interpret the celestial phenomena may not necessarily be able to steal the ability of the celestial machine, and the person who has the ability to steal the celestial machine must have an understanding beyond ordinary people, yes, the person who steals the celestial machine will also be punished by God, and every person who steals the celestial machine should already have the preparation to accept the punishment of heaven in his heart, of course, the old man in black in Lutai has already had this consciousness in his heart.

- Fate is like a scale, in order to maintain balance, when you get something that is not yours, you will also lose something that you already have.

Compared with the composure of the old man in black in the middle of the deer platform, the two people sitting next to each other behind the old man in black are not so calm, the middle-aged man in green clothes on the left is sitting on a blanket made of mink, covering his eyes, making people unable to see his expression clearly, his right hand supports his chin, his left hand is on his thigh, his palm is naturally held virtually, and his knuckles are rhythmically tapping his calves, but the movements of his limbs show that his mood is not as calm as he shows.

Although he didn't open his eyes, he always paid attention to the movements of the old man in black.

- No one wants their mind to be easily seen by others, especially those in high positions.

The person on the right is about sixty years old, dressed in a robe, carrying a three-foot long knife at his waist, his right hand is on the hilt, the muscles of his arm are tense, and the green tendons on the back of his hand are bulging, holding the handle tightly and ready to draw out the long knife at any time, watching the situation around him vigilantly.

The face of the old man in fur seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist-like aura, making it impossible to see his true appearance and the expression on his face, but the pace back and forth showed that this person was anxious, and the expression of the old man in black who looked at the deer platform from time to time was full of worry.

He knew how dangerous it was to steal the heavenly machine, and he also knew how serious the consequences of stealing the heavenly machine were, and he had tried to stop the dangerous move of the old man in black, but he did not change the attitude of the old man in black, it was precisely because the old man in Qiu knew how serious the consequences were, so he was even more worried, and he didn't want an accident to happen.

The friends with whom he had a close friendship had all passed away, and he and his brother were the only ones left in the same family, and he didn't want to see what happened to his brother.

The old man in black lowered his head and turned his body, he turned extremely slowly, as if this action, which seemed ordinary to ordinary people, had exhausted all the strength of his body.

The middle-aged man who was always paying attention to the old man in black in the center of the terrace straightened up and immediately set his eyes on the old man in black.

The old man in the robe, who was always on alert, immediately stopped.

It was in stark contrast to the slow movements of the old man in black, just like the state of mind of the three of them at this moment.

The eyes of the black-clothed old man who turned around went back and forth between the two, and finally stopped at the middle-aged man.

The old man in black finally nodded under the burning gaze of the middle-aged man.

After receiving an affirmative answer from the old man in black, a rare smile leaked from the middle-aged man's face.

"The two uncles, if you have something to deal with, you will leave first. ”

When he got the answer he wanted again, the middle-aged man said goodbye to the two people in the deer platform, got up and turned around and walked down the deer platform.

After the middle-aged man left, the deer platform returned to its previous silence again.

The old man in fur looked at the old man in black, although he had doubts in his heart, but he did not speak.

He has known the old man in black for decades, and he is a fellow brother, so he still knows about his senior brother. Judging from his brother's performance, things are not as simple as that.

"Senior brother?"

The old man in black didn't respond, looked at the middle-aged man in the distance, and stood there motionless.

The performance of the old man in black made the old man in fur even more uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know whether to continue to ask.

"Senior brother, is that really feasible?"

After hesitating for a long time, the old man in Qiu Yi finally expressed the doubts in his heart.

I could see that his expression was full of nervousness, and in his heart he hoped that this matter could be accomplished, stealing the mandate of heaven, he would be punished by heaven, and if he changed his destiny, he would die.

Vainly trying to change the destiny of heaven is a fatal situation.

The old man in black did not immediately answer the old man's question, but raised his head to look at the night sky, and pointed to the hidden Big Dipper Seven Stars in the night sky, under the clouds;

"The Big Dipper is located in the north of the starry sky, and it has always been the same because the world thinks it is immutable, but in fact, it is constantly changing in places where it is difficult for people to see. Therefore, nothing is immutable, the Book of Changes has clouds, the number of heaven is fifty, and its use is forty and nine. ”

"Escape one is a fixed number, it is also a variable, the avenue is invisible, and the way of heaven is inactive. ”

"That's doable. ”

Although the old man in fur did not fully understand the words of the old man in black, he knew that this matter could be tried.

Actually, it doesn't matter if it's feasible or not, if he only gives a positive answer, I give a positive answer, and I can only answer in the affirmative. ”

The two didn't speak again, the night wind swept by, and only a few fallen leaves were rolled up, and Lutai returned to its former silence, as usual.
