Chapter 8: The First Chaos

Between the tall and majestic city walls, a sound of drums echoed.

Before you know it, it's time.

A group of patrolling guards had just left, and the sound of gold and iron could be faintly heard in the sound of uniform steps, which was the sound of iron armor and swords clashing.

This place is a forbidden place in the imperial city, not everyone can enter, and trespassing into the imperial city is a capital crime. Even during the day, civil and military officials have to go through many inspections before they can enter, let alone in the middle of the night.

But Jiang Shenzhou came in with a swagger.

This was arranged by Palixia a long time ago, and before leaving, she gave Jiang Shenzhou a badge, and the identity on the badge was Si Chenshi of the Taishi Bureau. The Taishi Bureau is the official office in charge of the astronomical calendar in the imperial court, and Si Chenshi is the lowest-ranking official in the Taishi Bureau.

Although his status is low, as a person from the Taishi Bureau, he can enter and leave the imperial city at will, so Jiang Shenzhou dared to break into the imperial city so unscrupulously.

Now that he is already in the Taishi Bureau, the person who brought him in has also left, and Jiang Shenzhou can only wait here. This was also arranged by Parisia.

Could it be that the person he wants to see is in the palace? Who is he? Jiang Shenzhou has become more and more curious.

In front of him was a high platform made of white marble, and in the middle of the high platform stood a huge armillary sphere. This is where the celestial officers observe the celestial phenomena, and they are accompanied by the stars. On every cold and lonely night, when everyone in the world fell asleep, only the star official was still awake. As star officials, their duty is to record the changes in the sky day and night, and report to the imperial court.

When today's son firmly believes in the theory of celestial phenomena, it is said that he launched the matter of forcing the palace precisely because of the celestial phenomena, so he is convinced of this.

Jiang Shenzhou waited for a long time, but no one came.

There was silence in the Taishi Bureau, there was no sound, and there was no light, only distant starlight and a cold high platform. The stars in the sky twinkled and twinkled as if they were winking at him.

"Do you think the stars are winking at you?" A voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Jiang Shenzhou turned his head and saw the person speaking.

A man appeared behind him at some point, dressed in a wide robe and a high crown, with a thin face and slender eyebrows, looking like an immortal of ancient legends.

Could it be that he is the person Jiang Shenzhou is looking for?

Before Jiang Shenzhou could speak, the man had already spoken: "I am the person you are looking for." He looked at Jiang Shenzhou, and a pair of introverted eyes seemed to be able to see through other people's thoughts.

Jiang Shenzhou hesitated and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Your master is my senior brother, and I am your uncle." ”

"Disciple to meet uncle." Jiang Shenzhou bowed.

"You don't have to be formal." Uncle Shi helped Jiang Shenzhou up, when he stretched out his hand, he just revealed the badge hanging on his waist, Jiang Shenzhou faintly saw the words "Dr. Taichang" and "Li", Dr. Taichang is the official name, and Li is his surname.

Jiang Shenzhou suddenly remembered a strange person in the world, it is said that he is not only proficient in yin and yang numeracy and astrological divination, but also can predict prophets and predict things like a god. This person has been famous all over the world more than ten years ago, and is known as a half-immortal by the world.

Could it be that he is...... Looking at the uncle in front of him, Jiang Shenzhou was already nine points sure of his judgment.

This time, Uncle Shi didn't seem to see what he was thinking, he raised his head and stared at the night sky, and slowly asked, "You came to Chang'an because you killed the elephant of the wolf." ”

Jiang Shenzhou nodded, this was the reason why he came to Chang'an.

Uncle Shi asked again, "What did your master say?" ”

"He said that this is a great evil phenomenon that is enough to cause chaos in heaven and earth." Jiang Shenzhou replied, and couldn't help but doubt: "But...... Is it really that dangerous? ”

"According to ancient books, the same celestial phenomenon appeared in the first year of Zhongping in the Great Han Dynasty." Uncle Shi replied calmly.

The first year of Zhongping was the year when the Yellow Turban Rebellion began at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after nearly a hundred years, the world was devastated, and it is said that only one-tenth of the original people survived in the end.

Jiang Shenzhou said: "But the master also said that the extremes of things must be reversed, and there is still a trace of vitality in the world." ”

Uncle Shi smiled faintly and said: "He is right, no matter how terrible the storm is, it is just a breeze at first, and the chaos in the world is the same, it starts from chaos one by one, what we have to do is to resolve every chaos, in this way, the world may ......."

He paused, turned his head to look at Jiang Shenzhou and said, "Maybe there is still a trace of life." ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "But how can we find chaos? ”

Uncle Shi said: "The answer is in heaven." ”

The sky is full of stars and the night is never extinguished, and for ordinary people, they can see countless stars every night, but they can't see anything from them. In fact, the star has many uses, not only to show the direction of the sailing ships, but also to show the rise and fall of the country, the victory or defeat of wars.

Zhou Yi Youyun: "The sky hangs like a good thing, and you see the good and the bad." ”

If you understand the celestial phenomena, you can also see the good and the bad, and only then can you avoid the good and the bad.

But there are very few people in the world who can really understand the celestial phenomena, after all, the stars are vast, the providence is subtle, and it is extremely difficult to understand the mystery from the thousands of stars.

Jiang Shenzhou looked up for a long time, until his eyes were dazzled, and he couldn't see anything famous.

Uncle Shi reminded: "Take a closer look at Kuisu. ”

Located in the west of the celestial dome, Kuisu is one of the twenty-eight constellations, and it consists of sixteen stars, but Jiang Shenzhou saw the seventeenth. He remembered that Master had said that the art of stargazing called the star that appeared out of thin air a guest star, and the guest star represented the change of heaven and earth. In the darkness, the guest star was shining with a strange light.

"Does it have something to do with the guest star?" Jiang Shenzhou finally saw the clue.

"The guest star enters Kui, Kui lives among the four elephants of the white tiger, the white tiger kills the main slaughter, this image means to break the army and kill the general, and the border army moves."

"Frontier Army? Where are the border troops? ”

"According to the division, it should be ...... Northwest. ”

The northwest is the land of Lingzhou, Liangzhou, and Ganzhou, which are just bordering the countries of the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty has stationed a large number of troops here to prepare for military affairs.

"Uncle Shi is saying...... What will happen to the land of the Northwest Frontier? What happened? ”

"I didn't say it, it was the celestial phenomena, as for what happened...... Providence is unpredictable, and I can't answer you. ”

Now that we have found the chaos, the next step is to quell it.

Jiang Shenzhou asked, "What should I do?" ”

"I can't answer that question." Uncle Shi shook his head, and then said, "If you don't know what to do, go to Palisia, and she will help you." ”

After saying that, he slowly walked down the high platform.

"One more thing." He walked a few steps and suddenly stopped: "You guessed right, I am Li Chunfeng." ”

He is really Li Chunfeng!

He really saw Jiang Shenzhou's mind a long time ago!

When he returned to Qianqi Pavilion, it was already getting brighter, but Jiang Shenzhou still didn't feel sleepy.

- "The guest star enters Kui, Kui lives among the four elephants of the white tiger, the white tiger is the main killing, this image means to break the army and kill the general, and the border army is moving. Li Chunfeng's words always echoed in his ears.

What exactly does this mean? What will happen to the Northwest Border Pass?

Broken army? Referring to the rout of the army?

Killer? Will there be a general who will die?

The border army is in a big move? Could it be that there will be war?

Jiang Shenzhou thought for a long time under the eaves, and even a weed in his mouth had been bitten off, but he never had a clue.

There were few remnant stars in the sky, and the iron-blue sky gradually glowed with a hint of red, like a pool of blood slowly spreading on the iron armor.

The east is white, dawn is coming, and Jiang Shenzhou has fallen asleep.

In a daze, I don't know how long it took, suddenly he heard a shout, loud, as if it was ringing in his ears.

- Get up!

Jiang Shenzhou woke up from his dream, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he found Palixia standing in front of him with her hands on her hips.

Jiang Shenzhou rubbed his eyes and said lazily, "Why are you here?" ”

Paris couldn't wait: "Of course there is something looking for you." Quick, follow me! ”

Jiang Shenzhou couldn't help but yawn, but he didn't mean to get up at all: "Where to go?" ”

Paris said impatiently: "Why do you have so many questions, don't you know when you go?" She couldn't help but pull up Jiang Shenzhou.

The two soon arrived in the West Market.

There was an aroma wafting in the air, it was the aroma of mutton cakes, and Jiang Shenzhou found that this was the same cake stall he had come to yesterday.

The stall was still full of people, and the stall owner was still greeting enthusiastically.

Rounding the queue, Paris took two steaming cakes from the stall, she neither lined up nor gave money, but instead of being angry, the stall owner kept looking at her with a smile.

Not only him, but also everyone in line did not express any dissatisfaction.

"No, I don't want to eat it." Seeing Paris swaggering back with two pieces of Hu Biscuits, Jiang Shenzhou waved his hand.

"What do you think? Both are mine. Palisa shielded the cake.

"Why did you bring me here?" Jiang Shenzhou asked.

"Because I wanted to eat Hu Cake, I came." Palisia ate a cake and said contentedly.

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's as simple as that. By the way, have you seen Li Chunfeng? ”

Jiang Shenzhou sighed and said, "I saw it." ”

He told Parisia about meeting Li Chunfeng last night, and also talked about Li Chunfeng's prophecy. The two walked and talked, and the street was full of people, and no one paid attention to them.

Parisia wiped her mouth and asked, "So what the hell is going to happen in the Northwest?" She listened as she ate the rest of the bread.

Jiang Shenzhou frowned and said, "I don't know, if I knew, I wouldn't have such a headache." I just knew that I had to stop the chaos no matter what. ”

Paris gave him a blank look and said, "Hmph! That's a nice thing to say, but how are you going to stop it? ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "I don't know, Li Chunfeng said that you would help me." No......" Before he finished speaking, he shook his head vigorously and said to himself: "No, I should have heard it wrong, you girl can't do anything but make trouble, how can you help!" ”

Paris puffed up and said, "Who said I couldn't help, I just learned a secret and I wanted to tell you." ”

Jiang Shenzhou asked, "What secret?" ”

Paris said, "Hmph! I don't want to say it now! Who made you say I'm only trick-or-treating! She pouted, twisting her face to the side.

Jiang Shenzhou smiled and deliberately pretended not to believe it: "Oh? What a secret so mysterious! I think you're lying. ”

Paris quickly retorted: "Lie to you as a puppy!" I got news that the imperial court is going to send people to inspect the Governor's Mansion in the near future, and one of them is Liangzhou. As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had fallen for Jiang Shenzhou, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Jiang Shenzhou was stunned: "Liangzhou? Isn't that in the Northwest? Is there such a coincidence? ”

Li Chunfeng said that the chaos should be in the northwest, and now the imperial court wants to send people to inspect Liangzhou, which is of course not a coincidence, it seems that Liangzhou must be the place shown by the heavens.

"But what can I do?" Jiang Shenzhou asked.

Instead of answering him, Paris asked him another question: "Do you know who is patrolling Liangzhou?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "What person? ”

Palisa said: "It's from Tiance Mansion!" So all you have to do is join the Tiance Mansion and go to Liangzhou with them to find the chaos. ”

Jiang Shenzhou hesitated: "Even if I am willing, is it so easy to enter Tiance Mansion?" ”

Paris stopped and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, I've arranged everything." ”

Jiang Shenzhou suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and at this moment, Parisia had already pushed him hard. He just ran straight into a passerby.

He knocked to the ground was a young woman in a bearded suit, and her back looked somewhat familiar.

Jiang Shenzhou hurriedly helped the woman up, and at this moment, he finally saw her face clearly.

This woman is actually Qin Sheng!
