Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dagger

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dagger (Part II)

A cigarette ran back to the dormitory arranged for the guys, and Chang Xiaoer lay on his own bunk, tossing and turning. Zhou Buhua, who seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring, is actually a liar! His diploma from Ziyang Academy is fake, and the so-called seventh in the township examination is also an impostor! And the elder brothers of the few scholars who have been watching themselves as their own brothers for the past few days turned out to be just trying to settle the bill by themselves, not really as they said, and they decided that they were Puyu uncut! These people are full of benevolence and morality, but in the end, it's all about business!

This blow was really heavy for him. So much so that for more than ten days in a row, Chang Xiaoer did not slow down. Every day, I honestly follow the other guys to go to work on time and get off work on time. Carry sacks together, take inventory of shelves, sort out accounts, and no longer be lazy and slippery, complaining. The semicolon shopkeeper thought that he had finally changed his temper, and he couldn't help but be impressed.

However, to the great disappointment of the semicolon shopkeeper, after less than half a month, Chang Xiaoer reverted to his old ways. As soon as it was closing time in the evening, he would run out. I asked what the others were going to do, but they refused to answer honestly.

"I think I'm going to the Purple Mountain! It is said that the observatory has been completed! A lot of people rushed over to see the rarity! "The big guy in charge, Wang Hongwu, has been walking around a lot with Chang Xiaoer recently, and he took the initiative to explain for him.

"It's already done? So early? It's okay to save him from messing around with that group of cuos as a whole! When the shopkeeper heard this, a stone in his heart finally landed. However, he was soon aroused to the next question, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say that Wu Gong and his old man were going to come over to worship the stars in person?" These bold people actually dared to take the lead in front of Wu Gong to open their eyes! ”

"How can you worship the stars, Grandpa Wu is the reincarnation of Maitreya, and the twenty-eight nights in the sky are only worthy of his old man's door, how can he afford his worship!" Wang Hongwu also lowered his voice and responded with a mysterious face, "I heard people say that the so-called star worship is a deliberate trick. And Wu Gong, an old man, what he really wants to do is to move the stars and turn around, completely ruining Meng Yuan's national fortunes! Therefore, he doesn't care about others peeping at the stars before him, the more clearly others can see it, the more people can see it, and the more it will be proved that his old mana is strong, and he has indeed lost the position of the star fighter! ”

"Ahh When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but gasp. Wu Gong Zhu Chongjiu is the reincarnation of Maitreya, and he, like most ordinary old people in the market, is convinced of this. Otherwise, it would not be possible to explain why Wu Gong, an old man, didn't care about the gentry and scholars, and devoted himself to supporting the merchants and small people.

The position of Maitreya Buddha is higher than that of the Twenty-Eight Nights, and the shopkeeper is equally convinced of this. What is the twenty-eight nights, but it is a literary song, a martial song, a god of wealth, marriage and the like, reincarnated into the folk, but it will enter the phase. And Wu Gong is an old man, but he is destined to be the emperor. If he is not even qualified to be the emperor in this world, other heroes don't even think about it.

It can be said that Wu Gong Zhu Chongjiu can move the stars and change his life against the sky, which is a bit too much beyond the scope of the shopkeeper's expectations and understanding. It takes many generations of merit and generations of creation to accumulate great power! Legend has it that the Jade Emperor was reincarnated ninety-nine times before he finally returned to Heaven and became the Lord of the Stars. If this Duke Wu could even mobilize the Star Dou, wouldn't his position in the sky be comparable to that of the Jade Emperor?

"Impossible, Zhu Butcher is so created!" The same people and things are very different in the eyes of the readers of this era and the eyes of the common people in the market.

In particular, some scholars with deep roots in their families have witnessed Zhu Chongjiu depriving the gentry of their natural rights step by step and assimilating themselves to the grass people step by step, and the resentment in their hearts has long been on the verge of exploding. How could it be tolerated that Zhu Chongjiu was worshiped as the Jade Emperor by a foolish man and a foolish woman?!

Zhu Chongjiu can't be an immortal, his deviant demeanor is almost the same as saying that he is the reincarnation of a demon. The mandate of heaven cannot be in Zhu Chongjiu, since ancient times, the emperor has a virtuous person to do it. Zhu Chongjiu's knowledge is lower than Liu Bang, and he is brutal and better than Qin Shi Huang, how can he be the true dragon emperor?

As for the stargazing platform on the top of Purple Mountain, which was transformed from an abandoned Taoist temple, in the eyes of many readers, it is also a great rebellion. Observing the movement of the stars? If the heavenly machine can be measured, can it still be called a heavenly machine? From ancient times to the present, even if he is arrogant like Qin Shi Huang, he is just a Zen Taishan, and he still has to bow down to the sky? How ignorant is this Zhu Chongjiu, who actually tried to see the whole starry sky? Wait, he'll make a joke that won't last a lifetime! At that time, everyone will stand on the top of the Purple Mountain to see how he will end up killing pigs.

But soon, those who came to Jiangning to see the joke couldn't laugh anymore. The observatory has been inaugurated without any lightning strikes or earthquakes. The huge telescope is also rented out to everyone in advance, and as long as you take out 200 Huaiyang Datong Treasures, you can cooperate with three friends to go on stage and watch the stars for ten minutes. The first wave of Huaiyang officials, no one, was punished by God. A few small officials from Jiangning who were born in Jiangning and were retained by the Great Governor's Mansion, although they faltered after coming down, they did not show any signs of getting lost. Instead, they began to intensify their efforts to defend the Zhu butchers, as if this was not enough to prove their loyalty.

So, those scholars who were full of contempt for Zhu Chongjiu decided to pay out of their own pockets to see what false mysteries were on Zhu Butcher's stargazing platform. It would be better if it could be exposed on the spot, even if it couldn't be exposed, if there was no change in the starry sky and the star map handed down from the Han Dynasty onwards, or if the change was not too big, it would be enough to prove that Zhu Chongjiu's skills were limited, and he spent money and money to get such a high platform and such a big telescope, just to deceive the fools and fools in the world!

However, the results that everyone saw after coming to power brought all like-minded people to the brink of collapse with one foot in an instant.

In the field of view of the extra-large telescope, the Guanghan Palace actually turned into a silver plate covered with black pits. And the Tai Bai Xing, which symbolizes the prince, the general, the son of the White Emperor, and the essence of gold in the West, has completely turned into a round ball in the telescope. Even more outrageous are Saturn and Jupiter, the former of which turned into a large elliptical lemon after being peeked through a telescope. The latter, on the other hand, is squashed and then turned into five, with four small stars flickering next to the oblate spheroid. (Note 1) Impossible, this is a demon spell, and a demon spell has been cast on the telescope! Zhu Butcher wants to use the demon method to make a fool of his fallacies! The first batch of people who spent money on the stage and were ready to personally expose the scam set up by Zhu Chongjiu were all as pale as dirt after they came down. In any case, they refused to believe that what they had seen with their own eyes was the truth. There are a few brave people, even looking at it again and again, trying their best to ward off evil spirits, and even bringing Buddhism, Taoism, and all kinds of talismans in chaos, but they are still shocked by the observation results.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the stars of the five elements, are all balls. The reason why the other stars are not as clear as the five elements is not that the heavens forbid them to compete with the five elements, but that they are farther away than the five elements. The stars in the sky are not on a plane at all, let alone a heavenly palace, but a grain of dust, floating in the vast void

For Rulin, who has always believed in the Mandate of Heaven and the existence of Heavenly Principles, this blow is definitely heavy. But soon, a harsher blow followed. Someone used a telescope to find thousands of novas from the Milky Way. Someone outside the Five Elements found a huge demon star similar to the Five Elements! Even more good things have actually redrawn the twenty-eight nights one by one, and in addition to the original star officials, the number of new nameless star officials has doubled. (Note 2) "Impossible, the eleventh star official of the Horn Residence, the thirty star servant, was determined by Zhang Heng, a great sage of the Han Dynasty. How did it become ninety-five in an instant? This must be a demon law, a demon law! When the first star map, the new map of Jiaomu Jiao, one of the Seven Houses in the East, was publicly engraved on the stone slab for the people watching the excitement under the stargazing platform to observe at will, almost all the scholars in Jiangning City, whether they supported or opposed the New Deal, questioned it in unison.

Soon, however, a second star map was also engraved on the stone tablet. From the original seven officials and twenty-one servants, there are twelve new ones, two big horns, four on the left, six on the right, one on the right, and seven on the right, a total of thirty-two stars, and five servants on seven officials. Half of the readers instinctively kept their mouths shut.

Immediately after, the third star map, the citoraccoon dog, was also carved. The number of new servants of the stars also reached forty-five. The remaining half of the people who shouted loudly about the demon magic were instantly reduced by half.

And with Fang Ri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tailed Fire Tiger, and Jishui Leopard Sisu also being engraved in the stone one after another, except for one or two people who were scolded for being blind, almost the entire Confucian Forest fell into a state of temporary silence. (Note 3) The child is silent, and the strange force is confused. Just using demon methods to explain the star map is obviously contrary to the ancestral teachings of Confucianism. Moreover, it was explained by demon law, which was originally not in line with the facts. The telescope wasn't just for stargazing, and it wasn't just for nighttime that people were allowed to rent. As long as you have the price and you are on stage in broad daylight, you can order the junior apprentice in charge of operating the telescope to point it in any direction. When he saw with his own eyes a few white sails on the river, he was instantly pulled in front of his house, and the sailors and tenants on the ship were close at hand, who still had the courage to say that the fact that Zhu Butcher used demon methods to cover up? It is clear that since the Han Dynasty, the star map has been wrong, and everyone has been falsely rumored for more than 1,500 years, and it is not until today that we are fortunate to see its true appearance!

Note 1: Jupiter's moons were observed shortly after Galileo Galilei applied the telescope to astronomy.

Note 2: Demon Star, Uranus among the nine planets, was once regarded as a huge comet or star in the early days because of the insufficient magnification of telescopes. In ancient China, Antares was also named Uranus, but this king was not the king of the other world.

Note 3: The relatively complete map of the 28 Pleiades was not measured until the middle of the Qing Dynasty in China. Prior to this, due to the rudimentary tools, only the parts that could be distinguished by the naked eye were recorded.

Note 4: Weakly ask for a sentence to subscribe and favorite. It doesn't matter if you're looking at the genuine or not.
