At this time, I saw that in the north corner of the stargazing platform, a Taoist priest was concentrating on observation, and a teenage boy beside him asked the Taoist priest some astronomical questions from time to time:

"Master, why do you say the North Star is so bright? It's as if all the stars are surrounding it. ”

The Taoist priest replied as he observed:

"Polaris is a bright star in the north of the sky, very close to the north celestial pole, facing the axis of heaven and earth, it is also called Beichen, Purple Palace, its position is almost unchanged, and several nearby stars are connected like a spoon, line into the Big Dipper, people can rely on it to identify the direction."

"Master, master, how can I see that there seem to be two stars next to the North Star in front of the spoon, but they are not so bright, plus those seven, there are nine in total."

The Taoist priest said without looking back:

"No, Beidou is seven stars, where did the nine come from?"

Look at the little boy again, frowning and muttering, clutching the back of his head, looking innocent.

Qi Kun smiled and slowly stepped forward and said:

"Little boy, what you just observed is correct, but what your master said is not wrong. Due to precession, Polaris is not a star with a constant position, and every 25,800 years, the polar star cycles. It is composed of a triple star system, the farther companion star is relatively easy to observe, and the closer companion star is too close to the North Star to be very faint and not easy to see. ”

When the Taoist priest heard Qi Kun's explanation, he turned to look at him hesitantly and said:

"Sir, but the legend of the Nine Stars and the Nine Emperors in ancient times? It seems that since the pre-Qin period, no one has adhered to this backward doctrine. ”

Qi Kun smiled and asked:

"What do you call Brother Dao?"

The Taoist priest took a closer look, and saw that Qi Kun was carrying a long sword qi and was angry, and there seemed to be purple qi around his body under the starlight.

"Poor Dao is the first Su Baihe Guanzi Yangzi in the county town, and I haven't asked Mr. who he is?"

"It turned out to be Xi Yingzhen, the first wonder of today, praying for Kun to look up to the name of Ziyangzi for a long time, and seeing it at the stargazing platform today can be regarded as fate."

"However, what Brother Dao said just now is a little biased, and it is not a lie that the ancients observed the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper. Polaris is a triad of stars, due to precession, every 25,800 years, the other two companion stars are relatively faint and difficult to observe, only to appear that the Beidou is seven stars. In about 14,000 years, it will turn Vega. ”

Qi Kun's slow words made Xi Yingzhen admire, and hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Thanks to Mr. Kun's revelation, Ziyangzi is like an initiation, and several previous doubts have been solved. Mr. is erudite and humble, and he wants to worship Mr. as a teacher, study astronomy and mathematics, and ask Mr. for permission. ”

"Brother Dao praised it falsely, how dare you be a teacher, the knowledge and knowledge in the world are like a vast starry sky, we are like a microstar, learn from each other and improve together."

Qi Kun replied with a smile.

He knew that this son Yangzi was diligent and studious, followed filial piety, understood yin and yang, military strategy, was good at writing and poetry, and also studied Confucianism and interpretation deeply, and was an outstanding representative of Taoism in the Yuan Dynasty.

Ziyangzi said happily:

"It is the greatest luck in this life to meet Mr. today, this is the little apprentice Tianxu, Tianxu is not coming to meet Mr. Qi Kun."

"The apprentice Yao Guangxiao visited Mr. Qi Kun and thanked him for his teaching." The boy ran to the deep question.

When Qi Kun heard this, he felt that this trip to the stargazing platform was too interesting, and the two strange people of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were actually met today. Thinking about Yao Guangxiao, he was later selected by Zhu Yuanzhang as the main adviser of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, by "serving the king in white hats", and finally became a famous black-clothed prime minister in history.

However, the heavenly opportunity must not be revealed!

Qi Kun picked up Xiao Tianxu and said:

"It's rare that you have such an interest and understanding in astronomy at such a young age, and you will be successful in the future."

Ziyangzi stroked Xiao Tianxi's head and said:

"This son is gifted, diligent and inquisitive, and if the gentleman can also teach well, he will do great things in the future. Where does Mr. Qi Kun live? My master and apprentice will come to visit him again one day. ”

At this time, Lin Jiao stepped forward and said:

"I've also heard of Ziyangzi's name, presumably you and Wudang Yuexia should know each other, if you find the old Dao Immortal, you will also be able to find the son of Qi Kun."

Ziyangzi thanked Lin Jiao for her advice, then said goodbye to Qi Kun and the others, and then left the stargazing platform with Xiao Tianxi.

Under the starry sky, Lin Jiao looked at Qi Kun with great reverence, feeling that she didn't need to say anything more at this time, just watch it so quietly, even if it was for a lifetime.

A gust of wind blew, feeling the slightest coolness, Qi Kun turned his head and asked with concern:

"It's a little cold at night, I have to go to Songshan early tomorrow, Miss Linjiao has also worked hard all day, let's go back to the post house, okay?"

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangement." Lin Jiao replied softly.

It's midnight when they return to the inn, and Qi Kun and Linjiao greet Seiya and Cher, who have been waiting for a long time, and go back to their rooms to rest.

As soon as it was dawn, the four of them got up for breakfast, packed up and prepared to go.

The thin morning mist was like a layer of milky white light veil, and a feeling that Yang Sheng and reality were far away spontaneously rose, solemn and trance, so that Qi Kun couldn't help but think of it. The scene at this moment is like a fairyland, and it is the kind of realm that can be touched and infinitely imagined.

Walking on the streets of Guyang, it is so quiet, simple, serene, and beautiful, which makes Qi Kun admire:

"It is really a magical city with beautiful mountains and rivers, a long history and outstanding people, on this land, the first capital of China was established, the first leader of China's peasant uprising appeared, and it was also the birthplace of China's first military academy, creating many glorious historical and cultural cultures..."

Qi Kun clearly remembers that a large number of relics of Peiligang culture, Yangshao culture and Longshan culture prove that Guyang is the capital of Xia Yu.

"Since the Dayu period, Guyang has become the political and cultural center of China. Guiguzi, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Chen Sheng, Guo Shoujing and countless other important historical figures appeared later, making this place an important town for inheriting Chinese cultural heritage, and has experienced vicissitudes. ”

The three people who followed behind, leading the horses, quietly listened to Qi Kun's gushing explanations, and were also immersed in that period of legendary beacon fire era.

Cao Linjiao, who has read poetry and books since childhood, looked at Qi Kun with a strange eye. I thought, how much knowledge does he have in his belly? Heaven and earth, how can he know everything? I can't help but feel more admiration and admiration.

The four of them went out of the west gate of Guyang City, rode their horses and whips straight to Songshan.

I didn't go far out of the city, and I could vaguely see the outline of the Song Mountain. According to the directions described in the "Wu Mu Testament", Lin Jiao led the three of them along the southern foot of Songshan Mountain all the way to the west.

In about half an hour, the majestic Taimuro Mountain has been impressively presented in front of you, and the continuous ridges are winding and undulating. Patches and layers of magmatic rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks have emerged along the mountain, showing the oldest polyrock phenomenon in China. Among the peaks, the main peak, which is about 1,000 meters high, stands abruptly. Everyone slowed down and stopped as Lin Jiao slowed down, and Lin Jiao said to Qi Kun:

"It seems to be this side, the highest peak on the east side of the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, it should be this, right?"

"Well, yes, the east peak of Song Mountain is this extreme peak, about 1,500 meters above sea level. This Nakagake Songshan Mountain is composed of two parts, Mt. Shaomuro and Mt. Taimuro, with a total of 72 peaks. Overlooking the Yellow River and Luoshui in the north, Yingshui and Jishan in the south, Bianliang in the east and Luoyang in the west, known as the famous mountains in Bianluo and Luoyang. Because of the strange peaks and palace views, it has been called the first mountain in the Central Plains since ancient times. In addition to dozens of emperors and countless celebrities in the past dynasties, Songshan is also a blessed place for all kinds of gods and goddesses to gather and discuss the Tao. ”

Qi Kun explained the magic of Songshan to everyone as many as he could, but saw Lin Jiao glance at him, then turned to Seiya and Xue'er, and instructed:

"You go along the foot of the mountain to inquire on both sides, see which direction Songyang Academy is, and come back to tell us immediately if you ask."

When the two of them walked away, Lin Jiao unfolded the picture that her father handed over to her, and said to Qi Kun:

"Ziwei envoy, please see, the location of this treasure in Songshan, according to the book and the coordinates on the map, is probably under a waterfall near the main peak Junji Peak, not far to the west of Songyang Academy. In addition, according to his father's instructions, because this secret is related to the national righteousness and the survival of the country, and the people in the world are unpredictable, so the secret of this map and the location of the treasure can only be told to Ziwei to know one person, in case of accidents. ”

"Miss Linjiao has a point, although Seiya and Cher are trustworthy people, they still don't need to tell them, and it is also for the safety of them and their families. When we arrived at Songyang Academy, we went to climb the steep peak, which was supposed to exercise our bodies, climb high and look far away, just looking for the waterfall along the road. Qi Kun replied.

Lin Jiao said leisurely:

"Ziwei is really thoughtful, in fact, knowing this secret, it will really bring a lot of danger to the family, and maybe even the family will be ruined."

Qi Kun understood the melancholy on Lin Jiao's face, and knew that she must have missed her biological parents again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and comforted:

"Miss Linjiao, don't be too sad, your father and the martyrs of the Yue family are all heroes of the nation, just like Jingzhong Yue Fei, their heroic deeds will be admired and remembered by the sons and daughters of China from generation to generation. We should feel honored to have such an important mission in this life, and our lives will be of great significance. ”

"Thank you, Ziwei Envoy, you said it so well, it seems to be in someone's heart. I will listen to you, turn grief into strength, inherit the legacy of my ancestors, and work with you to carry forward the cause of unity. ”

Qi Kun smiled knowingly.

He saw Lin Jiao's face with a delicate smile, which was so intoxicating.
