Chapter 113: Try the Nine Star Wheel Again
Qi Zhiming has been pondering the Nine Star Wheel for several days, but he still can't see through the mystery.
I went through the books brought by Gou Hong, and I also read "Miscellaneous Records" a few times, and the content in it was mostly traditional Chinese characters in ancient Chinese, and the content was obscure.
Lao Agni didn't have the patience to translate them into the vernacular one by one, and only translated the words specified by Qi Zhiming. I asked Jiang Liu and the princess to translate it again, and after checking that it was correct, I started to read.
Early one morning, Qi Zhiming found everyone, including Toad Man No. 1.
Several of the main characters of the sea gathered at the top of the Ethereal Peak, and decided to unlock the secret of the Nine Star Wheel.
Qi Zhiming placed the nine-star wheel on the stone table, and everyone sat around. Ordered the thin man to set up a formation around him, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Miscellaneous Stories" is from the hand of mermaid predecessors. It contains various legends, anecdotes, and stories that have been passed down since ancient times, as well as some conjectures of the recorder himself. It is similar to the hybrid of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Liao Zhai".
There is a passage describing the Nine Star Wheel, which probably means: The ancients regarded the sun as the source of life, and the sun was worshiped the most. The sun god sensed the sincerity of the people of the world and gave the nine-star wheel so that the people of the world could pray to the sun god for help when they encountered difficulties. Thanks to the help of the Nine Star Wheel, some people in the world went up to the blue sky, and some people went down to the depths of the ground, avoiding the boundless flood disaster at that time and survived.
The role of the nine-star wheel was slowly forgotten, and the nine-star wheel was used by the world for divination in the ancient Yue Kingdom of later generations. Is it used to predict whether the new king will ascend to the throne according to the will of heaven? Will the people be able to live in abundance? This purpose is not recorded in the book, perhaps this writing has been written since before the ancient Yue Kingdom existed.
Qi Zhiming only believed in the content of "Miscellaneous Stories" because he had personally experienced the divination ability of the Nine Star Wheel. In addition, the description of the nine-star wheel in this book is exactly the same as the nine-star wheel in front of you.
Nine small jade beads surround a large spirit bead. The large beads refer to the sun, while the small beads correspond to the nine planets of the solar system.
In descending order from the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
Although in the book brought by Gou Hong, modern scientists have removed Pluto from the list of self-stars, changing from nine planets to eight planets. But Qi Zhiming still chooses to believe in the nine planets, and the nine-star wheel in front of him can't be renamed "eight-star wheel", right? Obviously, there are nine beads.
It is said that the Nine Star Wheel has long been accepted as a national treasure and has existed in the museum for many years. Then the nine-star wheel in front of me is Xibei goods? Cut!
Seeing that everyone was seated, Qi Zhiming introduced: "This is the Nine Star Wheel, which is very mysterious in the legend. It is said to be very accurate when it was used to divinate the new king's ascension to the throne and see if it conforms to the will of heaven. โ
"The elders of the merfolk clan also used it for divination, and many things were prevented. I also used it to predict the attack of the lizardmen, and I thought it was in the inland sea, but it turned out to be in the open sea, and in general, it was quite accurate. โ
"The reason why I invited everyone here today is that I read a few idle books and came to a conclusion that this nine-star wheel seems to have a teleportation function. The wild history of the book can't be too serious, but what if it really has a teleportation or other function besides divination? โ
"One person is short-minded, and two are long-term, please come and discuss today. Everyone expresses their opinions, what to say, don't worry. โ
People who had never seen the Nine Star Wheel gathered around to watch carefully.
The always cold letter is no exception, and he looks at it without saying a word.
Everyone looked at it, but they didn't think it was unusual.
Gou Hong asked, "Brother Ming, if you want to say that this thing can divination, I believe it." For I have seen divination and divination with a few copper coins and tortoise shells. If you want to say that this thing has a teleportation function, I don't believe it! โ
"In the novels I've read before, the teleportation arrays described are all very large, and people are standing in the formation, and the light is flickering. When the formation is activated, the person is immediately teleported to another place, and the corresponding teleportation array must be accepted. Could it be that in addition to this nine-star wheel, there is also a corresponding nine-star wheel? Otherwise, it has the function of teleportation, so it has to be able to come back? What if you don't just teleport to a place and can't come back? It's also not very reliable. โ
Gou Hong's words aroused a response from most people, and they all advised Qi Zhiming not to take risks. If something happens, it's too late to regret it.
Jiang Liu thought about it for a while and said, "Zhiming, isn't it good that everyone lives here with peace of mind?" Why take unnecessary risks? What kind of storm did a few lizardmen make? Doesn't this nine-star wheel have a divination function? Why don't you do another divination? โ
Everyone also felt that it made sense.
Old Agni glared at Jiang Liu: "This thing can't be used casually!" Once activated, it requires a lot of power to input into it. How profound is that mermaid elder? Especially if you are sucked by this thing, your power has been greatly damaged, and it will take a long time to recover, how can you try it lightly? โ
As soon as the old man said this, everyone lost their minds. Persuading Qi Zhiming to simply give up, why bother?
Xi was the one who knew Qi Zhiming the best among everyone, staring at Xinyi and giving him a look.
Xin Yi comprehended it, got up at the same time as Nozomi, and said slowly, "Master summoned everyone here early in the morning to uncover this secret. The disciple helps the master, and the master starts the nine-star wheel, right? โ
Nozomi also said, "Zhiming, try it!" Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well. I'll help you with Shinichi at the same time, so that the three of them will not lose much of their skills, and the pranayama will be restored after a while. โ
Qi Zhiming had already made up his mind, and he wanted to reveal this secret no matter what. Seeing that everyone is opposing, it is not good for me to insist on it. Now when I heard what Xinyi said to Xi, I was immediately overjoyed and decided to start the Nine Star Wheel immediately.
When everyone saw Qi Zhiming's imperative posture, they stopped persuading each other. Knowing that once the Nine Star Wheel was activated, it would definitely be extraordinary, so he consciously stepped aside and looked at the three of them nervously.
Nozomi whispered to Shinichi, "Shinichi, the big bead in the middle of the Nine Star Wheel will be in full bloom later. You left and I right, put your palm behind your master's back, and cross the internal force together. โ
Xin nodded, his eyes moved with Qi Zhiming's body, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
The thin man observed the movement in the field, and at the same time was vigilant about the wind and grass around him.
The fat woman looked at Qi Zhiming from a distance, not daring to go over to make trouble, but made sure that she would not miss any action and details.
Gou Hong's family knew that they were not good, so they naturally wouldn't step forward to get in the way, but just watched nervously. For these things that are beyond their usual cognition, there is some trepidation and confusion, but more awe.
