"It's beautiful!" The young woman with the face of a cat stopped and looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, starlight mixed with flames reflecting beautiful shadows in her bright eyes.

The young man in the big yellow dog mask stopped and looked back at the girl who was traveling with him. In a trance, the slender and slender figure covered by the mask seemed to look a little like that guy.

Yuanbao, why do I miss you a little.

"Stupid, what are you doing?" Chu Qingqing's fist hammered on the chest of the stunned young man, and said indignantly, "What happened just now?" ”

"No, it's fine." Liu Shuang scratched his head in embarrassment, and his fingers were tripped by the telescopic rope that was wrapped around the back of his head, and the rope head he brought up hurt him.

"Okay, I'm not here to play this time, let's go, I'll take you to meet someone." Chu Qingqing's hand passed through the crowd, clenched Liu Shuang's wrist, and pulled his colleagues through the crowd.

All kinds of masks are worn on the faces of all kinds of passers-by, and the strange face masks are also quite interesting, Chu Qingqing has been here many times, and his interest is slightly shallow, Liu Shuang has just arrived, and he feels that it is very novel, and he follows the seventh prince step by step, and his eyes linger on things that he has never seen before.

"What do you see is that?" Liu Shuanglai didn't want to leave, and was dragged forward by Chu Qingqing.

"Maze, the artifact of the illusion in the suppression spell." The girl with the cat's face explained helplessly.

"What meat? It smells so good! ”

"The Oxen of the Borol Grasslands."

"Such a big pearl of the night!"

"That's whale paste from the Nine Abyss Deep Sea."

"What a delicate wooden bird!"

"It's modeled after 'Xi'."

"Have you ever seen 'Xi'?" Liu Shuang stood still, stunned and looked at the exquisite little wooden bird on the stall, Chu Qingqing pulled it a few times, but he didn't move.

"I've only read in history books that this ingenious curiosity disappeared 6,000 years ago." Chu Qingqing stopped pulling him and sighed, this kind of pinnacle artifact that disappeared in history, according to legend, that could soar in the sky, she could hardly forget it after reading it once.

"What a beautiful ......" Liu looked intently at the imitation of the little thing, but unfortunately, this wooden bird could no longer fly.

"It is said that there is a lack of fuel from the Hoshino Snow Region, and even if 'Mi' is made, there is no power source to allow it to fly." Chu Qingqing heard about this reason from the teacher his father invited when he was young.

"I really want to see it fly with my own eyes!" Liu Shuang raised his eyes to look at the night sky, his eyes were full of hope.

"Okay, okay, wait that day, don't forget to bring me with you. Let's go! Chu Qingqing also knew that although such an idea was almost hopeless, it was still so charming.

The two squeezed through the crowd of people shoulder to shoulder, and walked through the streets and alleys with thousands of turns, Liu Shuang couldn't remember the route anymore, but fortunately, he followed Chu Qingqing, and believed that he would not get lost.

The ghost market street really lives up to its name, although it is only a long street that is not wide, and even if it is night, it is better than the daytime of Nanshi.

Those strange masks add to the novelty, and even if you come here every day, you will have a completely different experience.

"Idiot, do you know about the sea people?" Holding his colleague's wrist and squeezing through the sea of people, Chu Qingqing asked.

"I haven't seen it." Liu Shuang shook his head, "But I have read it on the 'Chronicle of Things', and it says, 'Within the nine abysses, between the seven seas, there are people of the sea, who walk like sharks, like people, and live in water like fish. ’”

"Yes, I know all about it!" Chu Qingqing praised, "'Narrative of Differences' cloud, Jiaoren is also known as Quanke. There is Jiao silk yarn, the sea people are weaving, and a dragon yarn thinks that it is not wet in the water. There is a dragon silk palace in Jiuyuan, where the spring guest weaves silk, and there is a white one like frost. ”

"However, in addition to the teardrops and dragon yarn, the most powerful thing about the sea people is Mingji's evil fortune." Chu Qingqing waited for Liu Shuang to take a few steps and stood side by side with him, "What I'm going to show you today is a sea people!" ”

…………

As usual, the stream sat behind a huge square table with the petite girl in her arms, waiting for the next guest to come for divination.

There weren't many guests tonight, and the star compass in front of the stream was being fiddled with casually by the girl in his arms.

Of course, the real owner of this astrology stall is not a tall, thin, well-dressed stream, but a young girl with a pineapple mask in the arms of this man.

Although the star markers who integrated the ghost market street were reluctant to say it, they had to admit that this naïve girl was the best star track master in the ghost market.

If you want to ask about the most mysterious profession in the land of Zhongzhou, then there is only one answer, the astrologer. The Star Trace Master has been around since the time of Emperor Zhaoyang, and even the Star Compass was inspired by the Star Trace Master, and it can be said that the Star Trace Master was the first person on earth to study the celestial phenomena to observe all the movements in the world.

In the long history of thousands of years, the Star Trace Master has been valued by successive kings and nobles, whether it is in the imperial capital palace or the royal capital palace, the Star Gazing Supervisor is set up for it.

By observing the trajectories of the celestial phenomena and stars, astrologers have the ability to spy on the movements of the world and the rise and fall of all things. It can even predict the life and death of people.

However, on the other hand, they have such powerful abilities, but they cannot observe their own fate, they only have the ability to watch, but they are deprived of the ability to change.

The stream looked at the child in his arms lovingly, as if his goldfish mask was beginning to warm up.

His hand touched the girl's cold skin. From that delicate, soft skin, he could feel the girl's faint heartbeat.

The girl's body temperature is completely different from that of the people of Zhongzhou, and the slow growth time, the stream feels incredible. Of course, he knew that it was because this little girl was a sea folk who was born between the seven seas and lived within the nine abysses.

Under the pink lotus lotus dress, the little girl's fishtail has long since degenerated, covered by the long skirt, and only when she returns home, can the stream put her in the lotus pond and restore her energy.

"Stream, what are you thinking?" The little girl raised her head, looked at the young man holding her, and called the man by name, her voice still milky, but her tone was already somewhat mature.

"Caicai, it's time for us to go back." The stream bowed her head softly and called the girl's name.

"Don't worry, the people we have to wait for are coming soon." The little girl named Cai Cai handed the man a sign engraved with the words "Thank you" and motioned for him to hang it at the head of the stall and let go of the bored passers-by.

"yes, okay." The stream has always been so obedient to the little girl, just like it was twenty years ago.

She said that she was coming to the ghost market tonight, so he carried him over.

She said she was going to wait for someone, and he waited quietly.

"Stream, how old are you?" Cai Cai asked suddenly, as if ...... The old man asks about the age of the juniors.

"I'm almost forty years old." The stream replied. To outsiders, he is no more than in his early twenties, but only he knows that because of this girl, time has slowed down in him, and the years have bypassed his brow, allowing him to maintain his youthful appearance.

"I asked you to take a wife, and you always agreed, but you didn't look for it." The girl sighed, and there was a special maturity in her childish voice, like a mother worried about her son.

"Just in time." The stream still agreed so gently. As a sea people, Cai Cai has a lifespan far beyond that of land people, and can have a long time to like or hate someone. And he understands that he doesn't have much time, only a few short decades, and being able to meet Cai Cai has already made his life full of color, and no one else can get involved.

"I can only slow down your aging, but I can't prolong your life, stream, you know." Cai Cai rarely showed a sad look, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

"yes, I know." Stream's fingers trembled slightly.

"He's coming." The girl whispered.

The stream has reached out and taken off the sign of 'thank you', and after 20 years of companionship and familiarity with each other, they have a wordless tacit understanding.

…………

Finally squeezed through the crowd, Chu Qingqing sat down at the generous table, and Liu Shuang stood behind her obediently, like an attendant.

Looking at the thin man in front of him in the goldfish mask, Liu Shuang looked at the little girl in his arms curiously, wondering why a star marker still took his daughter to astrology.

"Miss Caicai, I'm here to bother again." Chu Qingqing crossed over to the adult man and greeted the little girl.

"Seventh son, don't come unharmed." The little girl responded faintly.

"Ah...... You...... She...... Who? Liu Shuang was dumbfounded, couldn't understand what was going on for a while, and blurted out.

It seems that this son is the person Cai Cai said he would be waiting for. Thinking of this, the stream gently beckoned and motioned for the dumbfounded young man to sit down.

"Let me introduce you." The stream smiled like a spring breeze, which made Liu Shuang calm down a little.

"Zhan Xingjian, Xing Shi Stream." The stream introduces itself.

"This is the celestial official of the Star Gazing Ceremony, Cai Cai." Stream paused, then added, "Don't tell anyone else." ”

"Litianguan!" Liu Shuang has naturally heard of this name, it is the highest honor of the astrographers, as the chief astrographer of the Star Gazer, the person who divides the trajectory of the stars for the monarch and the entire dynasty, and calculates the fortune of the country, is it actually such a little girl?

"What do you think, Stream, hammer him for me." The little girl had apparently read what was in his mind from the face of the young man she had seen for the first time, and commanded.

Xiliu nodded, picked up the folding fan on the table, and gently tapped it on Liu Shuang's shoulder.

"Rude, rude!" Liu Shuang hurriedly bowed his head and laughed awkwardly.

"What is the seventh prince going to do when he comes this time?" The little girl-looking Litianguan named Cai Cai asked in a whisper, and the temperature of the stream made her feel extremely comfortable.

"Miss Caicai, do you know about the three recent murders." Chu Qingqing glanced at Liu Shuang and asked respectfully. In the face of Cai Cai, who is just a girl, but the other party is a celestial official after all, although he is the same as the eight Shangshu, but even if the left and right meet, they will salute a little.

"Hmm." Cai Cai nodded slightly, which was a reply.

"Do you know what kind of people did it?" Knowing that the star trace master can peek into the fortune and misfortune, Ming Ji is the murderer, but there is nothing he can do about such a murder case, but if he is willing to help ask about the trajectory of the stars, it will at least help to find out the case, with these thoughts, Chu Qingqing planned to come to the ghost market street to ask.

"Stream." Cai Cai's small hand in the depths, the man holding her placed the star compass in front of her like a sharp heart, holding it with one hand.

The little hand swept over the star compass, and the ancient and intricate patterns and turntables on the disc were windless and automatic, with a mysterious and strange power, as if dancing gracefully, telling the signs that the stars gave to mortals.

"High in the wilderness, withered grass sprouts, and towering giant trees gnawed at their roots by insects and ants." Obscure words stood out word by word from the little girl's mouth.

As the proverbs were revealed by the child, the movements on the star compass gradually subsided, and those strange dances also died down.

"Thank you, Miss Caicai." Chu Qingqing gave up his hand, although he still couldn't understand the deep meaning of the proverb, but it was also very rare for a dignified heavenly official to be willing to make a fortune for himself this time.

"What do you mean?" Liu Shuang looked confused, scratched the back of his head, and couldn't help asking.

"Stupid, don't talk." Chu Qingqing slapped his colleague's arm with his elbow and motioned for him to be quiet.

"I can only spy on a few points!" Cai Cai unexpectedly did not blame the young man who did not know the number of etiquette, but silently lowered his head, if he could have the strength of his mother, maybe he could really see the trajectory of the stars.

"So, thank you, Qingqing has taken her leave." Chu Qingqing gave a shallow salute.

"Stupid, come here." It was the little girl who stopped Liu Shuang.
