Chapter 135: Rainbow Stars
On the morning of the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the strong sun was shining brightly, and the third trial was about to be held in the sacrificial temple, and at this time, Zhang Xun and the others were already waiting in the temple.
Frost stood quietly, her eyebrows lowered, and she didn't say a word from the moment she entered the temple. Zhang Xun took Shuang Tu in his arms sideways, gently pressed his chin against her forehead, and said with a smile: "Xiao Shuang, are you nervous?" ”
Frost didn't look up, just whispered a "hmm" in response, apparently she hadn't recovered from her nervousness.
Zhang Xun smiled, "Xiaoshuang, do you remember the copper plate game?" ”
Shuang Di was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Xun with wide eyes.
"I've always thought I'm a very smart person, but I haven't been able to solve that copper plate game, but you just look at it and solve it all, I've never met someone as smart as you! So you don't have to be nervous at all, I'm sure you can win. I might be worried if it's about physical strength, but this trial is about wisdom. Haha, you're definitely much better than the moon in this regard! ”
"But...... We don't even know anything about it. "Frost is embarrassed.
He Yu stood aside, clasped his hands around his chest, and said unconvinced: "This Yue female clan is really excessive, the previous two comparisons are the projects they are good at, and the last one doesn't even say anything, just what rainbow star technique, what kind of thing is this?" ”
Zhang Xun smiled and said, "Hehe, isn't it difficult for people to leave you behind?" I think it's better for you to marry Jianyue directly, so you don't have to compare the competition, wouldn't everyone be happy? ”
"Brother Xiao Xun, when are you still in the mood to joke? Do you want to be my brother-in-law anymore...... It's really ......" He Yu said, turned around and pulled Shuang Di out of Zhang Xun's arms, and said to Shuang Di: "Sister, don't be stressed!" Brother knows you're the smartest! You just have to try it out with peace of mind! No matter what the outcome is, I will guarantee you happiness! ”
"Brother......
"Alright, alright." Zhang Xun patted Heyu on the back and said, "The more you say this, the more pressure Xiaoshuang will have, don't worry, Xiaoshuang will win!" ”
"Hmm!" Frost looked at Zhang Xun and nodded vigorously.
At this moment, with the sound of a bell, thick curtains were lowered from all around the temple almost at the same time, and the originally bright temple suddenly dimmed, and for a time it was like night.
Before the eyes could adjust to the dimness, a light shone down from the roof of the temple. I saw that the relief of the divine phoenix above his head actually reflected a dazzling light, and the fire feathers carved from eighteen crystals on his wings diffracted the sunlight like a flame.
In this divine light, Fenluo took Mitsuki's hand and walked slowly from the outside of the temple, both of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes, just like the flying phoenix on the ceiling, solemn and beautiful.
Feng Luo walked up the steps and came to the altar, she raised her hands and prayed to the hanging god phoenix, and at the bottom of the steps, the Yue women also raised their hands and prayed to the god phoenix.
He Yu looked ahead, lowered his voice and asked Zhang Xun: "Brother, shall we raise our hands?" ”
"Lift what? What if people are seeking marriage? ”
"Oh, yes too......"
But before he finished speaking, He Yu glanced at it, but saw that Zhang Xun had already raised his hands high.
"Huh? Didn't you say you wouldn't raise your hand? ”
"I thought about it, do you follow the customs, what if the gods bless you?" Zhang Xun smiled evilly.
"This ......"
So, the three of them also raised their hands high and prayed to the god phoenix.
After a few moments, he lowered his hands and gestured to the clansman behind him, who responded by pulling a mechanism at the edge of the temple. Suddenly, the Divine Phoenix, which had been bathed in flames, immediately became completely dull, and the entire temple fell into darkness, and then a circular hole opened in the heart of the Divine Phoenix, through which light passed through, casting a brilliant starry sky on the platform in front of the altar.
People are shocked by the scene in front of them, as if they are in the vast universe, passing through the vast void and the brilliant galaxy, their body is just a speck of dust, and the history of mankind for thousands of years is just a flash of stars.
"The starry sky is boundless, the changes are endless, no matter the general trend of the world or the life and death of a person, there is a response in the starry sky, and with this as a divination, you can know everything in the world."
Fenluo turned around and continued to everyone.
"The so-called stars of ordinary people are only twenty-eight constellations, the four poles of talent, the north is Xuanwu, the east is the green dragon, the south is the Vermilion Bird, the west is the white tiger, and in one pole, it is divided into seven constellations, a total of 28 constellations."
"Knowing these 28 constellations, you can know the season, distinguish the direction, and predict the bad luck, but other than that, there is no more effect."
"And the so-called astrological signs of my Yue female people are by no means limited to the twenty-eight constellations of the four poles, and among the starry sky, there are a total of 5,372 visible stars, of which 491 are the main stars, which belong to the eighty-eight constellations."
These 88 constellations change in real time, each with its own meaning, and divination with these 88 constellations is enough to know everything in the world. More than 200 years ago, the ancestors were able to save the lives of their clansmen by observing the stars and predicting plagues and wars, and then the ancestors led their clansmen to this place under the guidance of the stars. ”
"Today, projecting the stars of the year with rainbow light is the art of rainbow astrology. On this platform, every point of light is a star, the bright one is four hundred and ninety-one primary stars, and the dim one is the rest of the auxiliary stars, all of which have a total of five thousand three hundred and seventy-two stars. ”
Zhang Xun looked at the dense points of light on the platform, some of these points of light are bright, some are dim, they symbolize the stars in the sky, showing the starry sky where the four seasons overlap, Zhang Xun even found the Big Dipper and the brightest Taibai star.
Zhang Xun looked up at the disc at the heart of the eye phoenix, which was only the size of a wellhead, and couldn't help but whisper to himself: "The Yue Nu clan is really powerful, they can carve more than 5,000 points on such a small disc, and the position and size can reflect the characteristics of the starry sky through the projection of sunlight. ”
He Yu didn't care about compliments, but said to Zhang Xun: "But this is not fair, if this is the secret technique of the Yue Nu clan, then they must stare at these stars endlessly every day, but my sister has never touched this thing, no matter what the rules are, it is unfair." ”
Fen Luo seemed to hear Heyu's questioning, but he didn't refute it head-on, but just smiled coldly and said: "The astrological divination of the Yue Nu clan is very mysterious, ordinary people can only learn seven or eight percent of their lives, and only extremely intelligent people can learn all the essence." As a patriarch, I have studied every day, but now I have only learned a third of it, and I am a young man, and I have only just begun to learn to recognize the stars. Today's trial is the identification of the eighty-eight nakshatras, so there is nothing unfair about it. ”
He Yu was not convinced, and still whispered: "That's not fair......"
Fen Luo ignored it and continued: "Later, I will order someone to activate the mechanism, and within a quarter of an hour, the shape of the eighty-eight constellations will be projected here in turn, the two of them, the moon and the frost, need to remember the shape and name of the eighty-eight constellations, and after that, the two of them will each draw three constellations, and mark the three constellations selected by each of them from the five thousand three hundred and seventy-two stars, the one who is correct wins, and if both of them can be correct, the one who completes the marking first wins." ”
"It doesn't make sense!" He Yu suddenly protested loudly.
"What's unreasonable?" Fan Luo looked at He Yu and asked.
"It's impossible for people to do this kind of thing. How is it possible to remember in a quarter of an hour eighty-eight stars that have never been seen before! Not to mention trying to find out. Moreover, before seeing the moon, he must have studied every day, and he was already familiar with these stars. And my sister has never touched it at all! The two of them were very different from the beginning! ”
"What are you yelling about!" Jianyue retorted angrily: "I also just started studying, and I can't take advantage of her much......"
"That's not fair, Xiaoshuang hasn't seen it once!"
"That'...... That's a big deal...... For a while, I won't look at it! Let her watch it alone, it's all right, right? Jianyue pouted.
He Yu was about to say something, but Shuang Di hurriedly grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Brother, brother, it's okay." I'll try to get it done. Then, she turned to Fenluo and Mizuki and continued, "I accept this rule. ”
"Okay, now that you can accept it, it doesn't matter what the others think." Feng Luo stroked his hand on the altar, turned to Shuang Di and the others and continued: "The Shenwu Trial is not just a gamble for you to get a free marriage, the Shenwu Trial has a more sacred and noble meaning, and it is the foundation of the existence of the Yue Nu Clan. If you can't pass this trial, then you don't deserve to unlock the secret that the Yue Nu clan has guarded for more than 200 years! ”。
Peace was restored in the temple again, and the starry sky projected on the platform seemed to flicker from time to time, just like the stars in the night sky.
Standing in front of the starlight, as if she was the goddess in charge of the entire universe, she solemnly announced: "The third battle of the Divine Martial Trial, the Rainbow Light Star Technique, begins!" ”
So, Mizuki and Frost stepped forward, standing a few steps apart, facing the star-studded platform at the same time.
Then, only the low sound of mechanical transmission was heard at the bottom of the stone steps and on the overhang, and then the temple was suddenly dark, and the five fingers could not be seen.
Suddenly, seven stars appeared on the platform, connected in a straight line with each other, taking on the shape of a spoon.
He Yu touched Zhang Xun with his elbow and whispered, "I know this, this is the Big Dipper." ”
"Shhhh
"Oh......"
After the seven stars appeared for a moment, a word slowly emerged under the seven stars - "Dou", which had just appeared clearly, but immediately disappeared into darkness along with the seven stars.
Immediately afterwards, eight stars appeared in the darkness, these eight stars were bright and dark, and the lines were intersecting, and after a while, under the eight stars, a word gradually emerged - "well".
Immediately, the "Jiao" Nakshatra composed of 18 stars, the "Kui" Nakshatra composed of 16 stars, and so on, were presented separately, and in just a quarter of an hour, all 88 Nakshatras appeared on the platform in turn.
When the nineteen stars of the eighty-eighth Nakshatra, the Nakshatra, appeared in a sinuous line on the platform, the temple suddenly became pitch black.
Then, in the darkness, the mournful sound of the flute suddenly sounded, and with the sound of the flute, the song began to sing, like a ship shuttling in the stars of the sky, slowly moving towards the infinite darkness of the universe.
Zhang Xun felt that this piece seemed to be heard somewhere, but he didn't know the rhythm of music and didn't like it very much, so he couldn't think of the name of this piece, but he could hear that although this piece was sad and sad, it seemed to describe grand things and contained mysterious philosophies.
When the song gradually entered the **, the bright starry sky appeared on the platform again, and people were intoxicated in this vast universe, almost forgetting the passage of time, as if buried in the endless eternity with the stars.
At this time, Xiao Shi was still immersed in this song, his face seemed to be written with endless sadness, and he knew that the name of this song was "Zhuolu".
Subsequently, Fenluo announced: "The eighty-eight constellations have all been displayed, and next, the Frost Tu will first select the constellations that need to be marked. ”
Frost walked up to the altar and saw eighty-eight gold plates the size of copper coins on the altar, each with a different name for the stars.
Afterwards, he ordered all eighty-eight gold plates to be poured into a bronze altar, which had a large belly and a small mouth, and could only reach into one hand.
Frost reached into the altar and selected three gold plates from it, and the stars on them were the "Guan" Nakshatra composed of six stars, the "Danger" Nakshatra composed of eleven stars, and the "Drag" Nakshatra composed of fourteen stars.
After Frost Teaser finished drawing, he turned around and left the altar, and then, Fenluo said, "Next, it will be extracted by the moon." ”
As soon as the words fell, He Yu immediately raised doubts, "How do I know if these gold plates are marked?" What if all the selections of the moon are marked?! ”
"I didn't! Hum! Why do you always doubt me! Jianyue said angrily.
"I ...... I'm not suspicious of you...... It's just, huh...... We need fairness. He Yu seemed to realize that he was a little out of shape, and replied hesitantly.
"Hehe, it's okay, you can come up and draw it for Jianyue." Fenluo said.
"Mother!" Jianyue said dissatisfiedly: "How can you let him draw it?" He doesn't deserve it at all! ”
"It's okay, let him come, this is also a test for him from God."
"Good! I got it! ”
So, He Yu stepped forward, put his hand into the jar, and took out three of them, which were the "Heart" Nakshatra composed of sixteen stars, the "Ghost" Nakshatra composed of seven stars, and the "Huan" Nakshatra composed of three stars.
"Alright, that's it." After saying that, he planned to go back.
Fen Luo suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I already know your thoughts." ”
"Oh? What do you mean? ”
"The six gold plates of the stars you have selected have already foreshadowed your fate and thoughts, okay, you can go back."
These words seemed to arouse Heyu's curiosity, and he just wanted to ask something, but he stopped talking, and then walked back silently.
