We finally arrived at the mountain gate that the master said, on the top of a low stone mountain, surrounded by mountains, the bare mountain, every stone was full of holes, and the weathering was terrible.

This is far from what I imagined. Ancient books say that this kind of mountain stone is the easiest place to hide dirt and dirt, I was puzzled and asked the master after seeing it, he only said let me explore it slowly by myself, don't be confused by appearances.

Because the mountain gate is low, you can't get a full view of the starry sky, so you need to walk a long distance every time you look at the stars. There is a higher and larger mountain peak directly opposite the mountain gate, and the tomb stretches all the way there, it seems to be a big tombstone, and it is like a monument in front of you, it is the highest peak here, and above the peak, is the stargazing platform.

At this point, I was standing on top of the stargazing platform, fiddling with what at first glance looked like a globe, called an armillary sphere.

However, it is not as simple as a globe, and it is definitely not a simple book to write a book. There are three layers inside and outside, the inner two layers can be turned, and the innermost layer has a speculum, hollow. When using it, the speculum is pointed at the star to be observed, and the declination of the star can be read through the scale of the innermost layer indicated by the speculum, reflecting its position in the north-south direction.

Of course, its role will not be so simple, and there are many things that need to be fine-tuned and corresponding, such as the celestial equator, such as the meridian ring, such as the horizon circle, as well as the red essence, the white path, **, and the ecliptic.

It was such an instrument that made me have a lot of doubts about what I knew before, because after the armillary sphere, there is another doctrine called the armillary sphere.

The sky is like a chicken, the celestial body is round like an egg ball, the earth is like a chicken in the yellow, living alone in the sky, the sky is big and the earth is small. There is water in the sky, and the sky envelops the earth, and the shell is yellow.

The heavens are full of water, and the heavens are supported by air, and the earth floats on the waters.

"Master, didn't you say that the sky is round? The sky is round like a cover, and the place is like a chess game, why is the water coming out again? "I asked the fugue master.

"This cannot be understood out of context," the master opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be very satisfied with me asking such a question, "Qing Guangxu's "Etymology" said that the ancients thought that the heavens were round and the place was round, and they also used the round square as the name of heaven and earth. So the world came to understand it. The reincarnation of heaven has been sixty years, and the cycle has been repeated, like a ring without end; People talk about directions, in all directions. ”

As the master spoke, he opened a picture to show me, "The sky is round and the place is evolved from the innate gossip, the heaven and the yang and the earth are yin, and they sense each other. ”

This picture has an outer ring, which represents the way of heaven, and a square hexagram in the middle, which is the law of the earth.

The master didn't say much to me, but after I read the "Book of Changes" a few times, which is the "first of the hundred classics", I felt a little cheerful. Circle, changeable, time-oriented learning, square, the ideal realm of personality cultivation. Wisdom wants its roundness, and action wants its squareness.

Put away the surging thoughts, and always feel a little restless. It is about to dawn, and it is the moment when the morning star shines.

The so-called morning star is Venus, which can also be called Chang Gung, or the more famous Taibai, Taibai Star.

But tonight didn't seem to be going well, and I actually saw the moon and Venus close at hand, converging and converging, and they finally hugged each other. Isn't the moon shy and timid? How can such a thing be done in broad daylight.

I didn't feel like I had my girlfriend robbed, but I felt palpitations.

During the two Jin Dynasty, there was a feng shui scholar who said that the moon belongs to Kan, and the law of the underworld is also, and if the platinum line comes to commit it, if the will of heaven says that the punishment is wrong, it will destroy its law.

It's going to happen, it's going to be a big deal!

There is Venus in the heavenly court, the name is too white, it is rumored that its original image is a goddess wearing a yellow skirt, wearing a cockscomb, playing the pipa, after the Ming Dynasty, gradually changed into an old and old white-bearded old man, holding a clean and soft dust, entering the Tao to cultivate the far god personality is high. It is the fair and clear person of the heavenly court, Taibai is peaceful in the world, Taibai left the demons to dance, and now the moon just blocked Taibai, this is not a mess.

There are also many legends about Tai Bai Xing, the most legendary is the great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. His mother dreamed that Tai Bai Xing fell into her arms and then gave birth, so she named Li Bai, the word Taibai. When he grew up, he roamed the world, learned Taoism and swords, was a good winemaker, and laughed proudly at the prince.

"What did you find?" The master didn't know when he came behind me.

"The moon covers Venus, something big is going to happen." I'm used to situations like this, and his actions are always silent.

"That's all?"

I looked up again, the sky was faintly bright, the stars were sparse, and I didn't find anything.

"The celestial phenomena are so huge, looking at their wonders, and controlling the general trend of the world. There are so many birthday stars flying in the constellation of the emperor, the convergence of five stars, the alignment of nine stars, and the delivery of canopies, both auspicious and vicious, why do you only see Venus for a month? Looking at the longer term, the lunar occultation of Venus may be in another astrological sign. The master's tone was a little annoyed.

I hurriedly searched again, and it was already dawn, and I couldn't help it.

"That's it, the world is chaotic, and the stars are naturally unpredictable in minutes, and they can no longer be seen after they have passed." The master sighed, "You are really not suitable for this stargazing technique. ”

"The earliest star palace map has been lost for a long time and has not been handed down, and the current professionals are also cultivated based on modern astronomy education, but it is a pity that the inheritance of thousands of years has gradually been scattered, and it is about to be broken." The master has a lot of feelings, not only the stargazing technique makes him worry, including my Sword Immortal Sect, he is also constantly nagging not to break the inheritance, but now it is almost a single line, how fragile it is.

I always want to say that the master is a little anxious about stargazing, he always tells me a lot of things in one go, and before I can understand it, he starts the next step, which is very different from before. "Master, give me a few more days."

"Stargazing is different from what you have learned in the past, you can peep at the leopard in the tube, why force a half-hanger, if you see it wrong in the future, it will not be misleading yourself, it is better to give it a go yourself." He turned and walked back.

"Go back to the mountain gate, it's time to inherit the sword." The master's words drifted from afar.

It was a long time ago for me to think about this day. If you can enter the gate of the Sword Immortal, how can you not have a sword by your side? The master always said that if you can't cultivate, how can you hold a sword.

I know that the cultivation that the master is talking about is not only strong in strength, but also strong in heart. I have been in Shanmen for fifteen years, during which I was away from college for four years, and the rest of the time I studied with my master, and my temperament can be said to have changed very thoroughly, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as reborn.

He was always worried about my Seven Killing Star personality and would do something drastic. It also said that a person once set up an inscription: All things and people are born in nature, and people have nothing and heaven, kill

Turning around, he followed the master back to the mountain gate, and a blue light crossed the eastern sky, appearing and disappearing.

Five remnant stars, also known as five blades, demon stars! "Historical Records", "Suoyin", "Suishu, Astronomical Chronicles" are all recorded.

"Master!" I wanted him to see if my guess was accurate.

"Let's go." I just saw him turn back.
