Starlight shines through the glass and casts on the back of a lifelong flower who is bending down to adjust the telescope.

This telescope has been bought back for almost a year, except for the Lantern Festival when a few children came to have a lively time, and then they have been standing lonely on the roof of the building, looking up at the starry sky in a stubborn posture, rain or shine.

The children did not come back, they usually had to go to school, and they hid at home to play games during the holidays, and for children living in a city that is always smoggy, the charm of games is far greater than the dim starry sky overhead.

It took tens of thousands of dollars to buy something, but it has been dusty since then, and it is a pity that Bishenghua feels it. After cleaning Aoki's studio and room, she went to the glass shed on the roof of the building to clean up the telescope.

Sometimes she would observe the sky, the moon, and the unfamiliar stars on a good day, until one time, she happened to see a colorful cloud in the eyepiece. She had never seen such a stunning picture, nor had she ever seen such a beautiful radiance.

At the time, she didn't know what it was, but when she went back to look it up on the Internet, she realized that she was seeing the Great Nebula in the constellation Orion.

Since then, she has fallen in love with astronomy and the stars hidden in the depths of the universe, and she wants to see them as they are.

Winter is the best season to observe the Orion Nebula. The weather is good today, there are no clouds in the sky and no haze. She searched through the finderscope for the location of the three stars of Orion's belt, the three stars were bright and neatly arranged, and they stood out in the winter night sky, and she quickly found them.

After adjusting the angle and focus, she saw the brilliant nebula through the eyepiece.

It was the Orion M42 Nebula, like a big bird with wings spread and flying in colorful streamers. Seeing it, Bishenghua thought of the coal boss, the crow who was desperately hungry and verbose.

Next to the big bird is a dense and dark cloud of dust, behind which flashes a red light from hydrogen ionized by a nearby star, and at the top of the cloud is a dark cloud with a swirling bulge, which astronomers call the horsehead nebula because it resembles a horse's head.

But in the eyes of lifelong flowers, where is it like a horse's head? It's a bit similar to the chicken nest. Next to it was the large M42 nebula, which looked like a large bird, and it looked like a crow was croaking and flying towards Aoki's head.

They, along with a number of other nebulae and bright stars, are surrounded by a bubble-like arc of red emission nebulae, the Barnard Ring of Orion, which is said to span 300 light-years.

Bishenghua has a soft spot for Orion, and she can look at it for a long time. To this end, she also studied the astronomical data on the constellation Orion, and learned that the large bird-like M42 nebula is 1,350 light-years away from Earth, and the chicken-nest-like horsehead nebula is 1,500 light-years away.

The thought that even if the bird could fly to the speed of light, it would take hundreds of years to stop at Aoki, Bishenghua couldn't help but laugh.

For hundreds of years, that's not a long time ago to starve to death!

But sometimes, she will be inexplicably a little sad. The log and the ravenous crow had been gone for almost a year, and there had been no news at all, as if they had evaporated from the world.

Bi Shenghua straightened up, looked away from the eyepiece, and looked up at the starry sky in the distance. The nebula is not visible to the naked eye, only the three stars on the belt of Orion are symbolically hung in the sky, as if to proclaim some kind of meaning of life.

She remembered some rumors about Orion, that humans were born from that nebula 1,500 light-years away, and later migrated to the solar system, which was the first solar calendar recorded by the Mayan civilization, known as the Gendaya civilization. At that time, people had a third eye, which glowed blue like Betelgeuse, and could communicate with the gods who lived at the center of the galaxy.

Many of the important pyramids of Egypt and the Maya are said to have been laid out according to the position of the three stars of the Orion belt, and the air vents of the largest pyramid of Khufu seem to point to the stars. Some scholars say that it was not a vent at all, because the tombs did not need vents, and other pyramids did not have vents, so these passages pointed to the "return" of the pharaohs. Their souls return to the Great Nebula in Orion through the pyramids, while their flesh becomes mummified and air-dried on Earth.

Bi Shenghua doesn't know if these claims are grounded, maybe they are just nonsense. She didn't know why humans lost their third eye, or how the Gendaya civilization disappeared, and it was all just legend anyway.

But when she was looking for information on the Internet, she saw that a late German scholar named Jaeger had claimed that the Gendaya civilization was under the sea in the South Pacific.

She remembered Aoki and the coal boss and went there.

It's been almost a year and they haven't come back. She went to ask a lot of people, and even called the police about it, but to no avail. Not only her, but also many people who care about Aoki are doing their best to find Aoki's whereabouts.

Hu Xing and Shi Dazhuang used the resources of the police, Yao Jingjing and Hou Biao also mobilized the personnel of the entire security company, and the Xia family assisted from the side, all the money that should be spent was spent, and the connections that should be used were also used, but still nothing was found.

The last news about Aoki was the message brought back by Xia Xiaoxiao and the information provided by Mei Yiqiu through the United Nations Space Management Committee and the South Pacific Research Ship Rescue Team, and Aoki and Su Huilan arrived at the camp on Lapa Island at the end of last year and went out to sea in their own rented boat.

Will they really follow the three-eyed Gendayas to the distant constellation Orion, and it will take more than a thousand years to fly back even at the speed of light? She thought as she looked in the direction of Orion.

Ever since she fell in love with astronomy, some strange ideas have always popped up in her head. She felt that she was a little abnormal, not only did she become sentimental, but she also began to doubt the meaning of life.

She made Xiao Qi and Mo Yu a little worried, Xiao Qi said that she was suffering from lovesickness, but Mo Yu thought that she lacked faith and should use faith to expel those strange thoughts in her mind.

Bi Shenghua felt that Mo Yu was right, so she followed Aunt Zhang to the church. But she couldn't stand the tone of the local priest reading the Bible and reading the Gospel in a Wuzhong accent, and the people singing hymns with a local flavor over and over again.

Later, she went to the Lengzen Temple outside the city, and felt that the Bodhisattva was always a little more amiable than Jesus, but when she arrived at the temple, she was crowded with tourists, and the smoke from the incense was so hot that people burst into tears, and the hall was noisy, without a little solemn and sacred appearance.

She also went to Taixuanguan, but there were more people in Taixuanguan than Lengchan Temple, and the street in front of the temple couldn't be squeezed through. She gave up before she could enter the gate of Taixuanguan.

In the end, Bishenghua came to a small temple in the suburbs. In fact, she didn't know if it was a temple or not, anyway, the locals called it that. The gods in the temple are a bit chaotic, there are Bodhisattvas and spiritual officials, as well as the Jade Emperor, and there is a small side hall next to Confucius for Confucius.

The lifelong flower is here to find faith, but the "faith" of these clay puppets cannot be looked upon. She just felt that this small temple was quiet, and there was an indescribable sense of comfort and security.

She bowed casually, and when she walked into the Lingguan Palace, a Taoist priest greeted her: "Girl, draw a lot, it's very spiritual!" ”

On the table in front of the Taoist priest was a sign that read 10 yuan by lot, and there was a QR code for payment next to it. He spent his life scanning the code with his mobile phone and paid ten yuan.

The bamboo skewers rattled in the holder, and then one fell out with a click. Bi Shenghua picked it up and looked at it, and there were two signatures written on it:

What did it do in the next year, and the smoke trees were discussed in the twilight clouds.

She looked at the words on the sign in a daze, and looked at the meaning in detail, but she didn't hear the words of the Taoist priest: Ten yuan will be drawn, thirty will be unsigned, the girl will scan the code again, and I will unsign it for you.
