Early the next morning.

According to Zhang Zhaoling's instructions yesterday, Qin Yu arrived at the dock outside Liyang City before the beginning of Chenshi.

After waiting at the dock for about half an hour, the crowd gradually increased, and Qin Yu saw Zhang Zhaoling with a few disciples appear in the field of vision.

Seeing him appear, Qin Yu also hurriedly trotted a few steps forward to salute.

"The younger generation will meet the Heavenly Master."

"There is no need to be so polite, the Holy Lord has already ordered people to arrange a fast boat, let's get on the boat now."

Zhang Zhaoling said with a smile. Gentle attitude, like the elderly in the family.

Qin Yu didn't feel anything about this attitude, but the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect who came with Zhang Zhaoling couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Although the Heavenly Master treats people kindly, he is polite to no matter who he is, and he will not go beyond half a step, which makes people feel close and will not feel estranged.

This is still the case for people of the same generation, let alone for a junior.

In their impressions, it seemed that only Senior Brother Mo and a few others would let the Heavenly Master in charge treat him like this, and at this moment, several people couldn't help but think a little more highly of Qin Yu.

Six people boarded the boat.

On the pole of the ship is a flag of a golden dragon on a black background, embroidered with a large Xiao character, which indicates that the ship is for the royal family.

Zhang Zhaoling left Liyang, and the saint used this boat to send him off, which is enough to show his favor.

Longhu Mountain is in the south, and Erliyang is in the north.

At this time, it is the middle of winter, and the wind is blowing in the northwest direction.

At the front end of the waterway, it will go downwind, which can save a lot of time, and even if you get to the south of the Yangtze River, you can also borrow a section of wind to speed up.

According to this calculation, the original time of the month will be shortened by half.

On the river, ships come and go.

Qin Yu naturally would not let go of such an opportunity, and went to Zhang Zhaoling's room every day to ask for advice on the formation and the way of stargazing.

Astrology is a discipline that is extremely regretful, and if it is taught by a famous teacher, it can avoid many detours.

There is still some gap between the teaching of famous teachers and the teaching of famous teachers and apprentices.

Although the explanations of Mo Qiyuan and others are roughly the same as Zhang Zhaoling, they are not as detailed as him in some aspects.

Qin Yu is not a stupid person, and he has gained a lot from this.

In particular, the knowledge of stargazing, under Zhang Zhaoling's explanation, is like seeing the sun through the clouds, and the doubts in his heart are greatly solved.

This day and night.

The cold wind blows across the river, the sky is thin and misty, and the stars are like a brocade, which is a good day to watch the sky at night.

Qin Yu and Zhang Zhaoling walked out of the cabin and stood side by side on the deck, looking up at the starry sky.

"Knowing the stars, knowing the stars, stargazing, and astrology, these are the four principles of astrology. The so-called star recognition is to know the stars in the sky. The knowledge of the constellations mainly includes the cognition of the 28 Nakshatras and the Three Walls, have you dabbled in this aspect? ”

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then slowly shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhaoling was not surprised, but felt that this was normal, after all, he was not a disciple of Taoism, and many classics could not be consulted.

"The questions you asked before are still a bit forward-looking for you now, and if you want to learn stargazing well, you should start by recognizing the stars.

The sky is vast, the stars are like dots, if you want to recognize them one by one, you need to familiarize yourself with the book "Butian Song", which lists the star palaces of the three walls and the twenty-eight constellations, which is a must-recite mantra for beginners to observe the sky and recognize the stars. ”

Hearing this, Qin Yu nodded clearly, and then a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.

When I entered the Clerk's Pavilion half a year ago, it seemed that I had seen this technique called "Butian Song" in terms of celestial books, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu smiled bitterly and said:

"The younger generation once read this book in the Library, but unfortunately I didn't know about stargazing at that time, so I didn't choose this book to read it."

"It's okay, among the books in Longhu Mountain, there is "Butian Song", and when you go back, your first goal is to memorize this book."

Qin Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhang Zhaoling waved his hand slowly, looked up at the starry sky, and said:

"Your foundation is unstable, and now I should know nothing about you if I say something more profound. Tonight's moon is bright and starry, it is a good day for stargazing, and it is a pity to waste it like this. In this way, the old man will first teach you to recognize the three constants and the twenty-eight constellations, so that you can have a concept first. ”

When Qin Yu heard this, he immediately listened intently.

"The so-called three walls refer to Ziwei Palace, Taiwei Palace, and Tianshi Palace. The 28 Nakshatras refer to the Seven Nakshatras of the Canglong in the East, the Seven Nakshatras of Xuanwu in the North, the Seven Nakshatras of the White Tiger in the West, and the Seven Nakshatras of the Vermilion Bird in the South. Headed by the Oriental Canglong, these 28 Nakshatras are: Jiaosu, Kangsu, ......."

That night, the two stayed until late at night.

This gave Qin Yu a more comprehensive understanding of the stars in the sky.

And the next day, Zhang Zhaoling also focused on explaining the rest of the knowledge, stargazing, and astrology.

The so-called knowledge of phenomena is to know the phenomena of the stars.

There are two types of phenomena, one is what normal astrological signs look like, and the other is what abnormal astrological phenomena look like. It is recorded by the changes in the stars at a specific time, at a specific time, and in the stars.

This requires reading a lot of records, accumulating experience, and drawing your own conclusions in combination with the actual changes.

Stargazing requires not only the basic knowledge of astrology, but also the basics of the calendar. Understand that the stars in the sky are changing due to the change of seasons, and the position is also changing from star to star.

These are also ancient books that need to be memorized and memorized by the predecessors to record the changes of the stars, the positions of the all-weather stars, the trajectory routes, and the time of the appearance of various variable stars as a reference.

Again, astrology. What phenomena correspond to the changes in the stars, which are formed in the sky and formed on the earth. The abnormal changes of the stars in the sky correspond to what good and bad things will happen in the world, which all need to be combined with the five elements of yin and yang and the principles of gossip.

For example, if there is a vision in the sky, it is necessary to deduce the direction of the murder, the place where the murder was committed, the time of the murder, and the place where the murder should be committed. Ordinary stargazing speculation will have certain biases and mistakes.

However, what the cultivator pursues is the Heavenly Dao, and he is entangled with the Qi of the Heavenly Dao, and if he is looking at the stars, divination, and derivation, it is much more accurate.

After Zhang Zhaoling's introduction, Qin Yu also had a systematic understanding of stargazing.

It turned out that the night sky, the starlight, which could be seen every night when he looked up, actually had such a great knowledge, and at the same time it also added some pressure to Qin Yu.

If you want not to make mistakes, you have to thoroughly understand the theory and go through countless speculations before you can master this astronomical art.

In the next time, as long as the night situation is good, Qin Yu will be on the deck, watching the changes in the stars.

Although most of them can't understand it, at least they can get a general impression in their minds, and lay the foundation for future learning.
