Chapter 1: The Daughter of Destiny
Great Wei, the third year of Kaiyuan.
This year's summer was hotter than usual.
Knowing that the sound is continuous, from the morning to the late night, there is no time to stop, but the rain is stingy to fall, it has been more than two months in the summer, but not a drop of rain has been seen.
The sun hanging in the sky made people dizzy, and the water on the ground was plundered away as much as possible, and the water of the Grand Canal, ten miles outside the capital, fell five meters.
Not to mention the small river and small lake next to it, the Xianhe Lake in the south of the city, a large area of dryness, exposing the muddy bottom of the lake, was illuminated by the scorching sun, and it was dry, just like this crane-shaped lake with bald area, not to mention destroying the artistic conception.
These affected only the mood of the literati and artists, but the gradual drying up of wells and rivers affected millions of people.
The folds that flew into the palace like snowflakes pressed on the heart of the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty, making this man who was already a man of fortune in middle age frowning and pacing back and forth.
"National teacher, when will the altar be opened?" The sharp eyes swept over faintly, and the emperor asked the blue-robed Taoist standing in front of him.
The Taoist bowed: "Tomorrow is an auspicious time." ”
"Good! Tomorrow! Open the altar and ask for rain! ”
He has always believed in ghosts and gods and only believes in his own emperor, and for the drought of most of the Great Wei, he can only hope for the national teacher who was casually canonized by him at the beginning.
The next day, the hour.
The Great Wei Guoshi was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a little Taoist boy, all standing under the morning light, with him holding a wooden sword, walking back and forth on the high platform, chanting words, the soldiers and people surrounded by the stage, as well as the emperor and civil and military on the observation platform in the distance, all held their breath.
The wind is blowing.
From the fine breeze to the strong wind blowing the robes of the national teacher, it was just a stick of incense, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, until a thunder thunder fell in the sky, and the heavy rain poured down, and the whole city cheered.
"It's raining! The national teacher prayed for rain! ”
After this incident, the Great Wei Emperor, who witnessed the practice of praying for rain, finally looked at this national teacher who had saved his life.
It turns out that this person not only has martial arts, but also really has some magical skills?
That night, the Emperor of Great Wei invited the national teacher to a banquet in the palace, but it was clear that he had successfully begged for heavy rain, but the national teacher looked solemn and did not see the slightest joy on his face.
When the others retreated, the emperor asked him, "I have a lot of worries about the national teacher, what can stump the national teacher?" Could it be that someone in the capital disturbed the national teacher? Make the national teacher unhappy? ”
The national teacher shook his head.
The emperor asked again: "Or is this rain not the solution to this year's extreme heat and drought?" ”
The national teacher shook his head again.
The emperor, who was originally from the countryside, was directly speechless: "What is that for?" Ouch! My great master, don't sell it! ”
Seeing that the emperor was really a little angry, he groaned again and again, and the national teacher finally spoke, and as soon as he exited, he directly made a request: "Your Majesty, please look for the southeast corner of the palace and build a rooftop, and the poor road wants to calculate the national fortune for the Great Wei." ”
"Exactly." The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to ask the other party why he made such a request, but after looking at the other party for a moment, he suddenly realized what it means to be silent here.
Seven days later, the observation deck was completed.
On another seven days, after bathing and changing clothes, the national teacher climbed to the observation platform, sat cross-legged, and looked up at the sky on the night of the full moon.
The stars in the sky, on this day, are all frightened by the moonlight, the starlight is dim, showing a trend of worship.
Only the emperor star, which has always been bright, is still bright and unstoppable, even on the day of the full moon.
Three years ago, when the Great Wei was not yet established, he had observed the sky at night and found that the emperor star was dark and had fallen.
It was also at that time that he went out of the mountain and saved the founding emperor of Great Wei who was betrayed by his subordinates and almost assassinated.
Since then, the star has shone brightly.
Soon after, the Great Wei was founded, and Emperor Xing had a circle of stars around him, which was a military general who belonged to Emperor Xing.
Today, what the national teacher wants to see is not this emperor star that is still guarded by the stars, but another star that appears not far from the emperor star.
Not as bright as the Emperor Star, but more conspicuous than the other stars, this is the next Emperor Star, that is, it represents the life star of the crown prince.
The connection between the two is quite deep, and even if the prince's life star falls, the emperor star will also fall, and the other princes' life stars are too dim to support becoming the third emperor star.
"The prince's life star has a rough fate, and the prince's life star is connected to the emperor star, if the two stars fall, the Great Wei, who has just ended the troubled times, will fall back into strife......"
"Obviously, the chaos is over, and the celestial phenomena can be observed, and a new chaos will resume again......"
The national teacher lowered his eyelashes, covering the emotional surge under his eyes.
His two hands quickly calculated, and as he suddenly snorted, a wisp of blood spilled down the corner of his mouth.
"The Great Wei Dynasty will die in the second generation, and the national fortunes will collapse? No! No way! ”
The results of the national fortune calculated by him, even if it had already been predicted on the natal star, still made the national teacher's forehead sweat, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in water, and the sweat was dripping down.
There must be a way!
The national teacher tried his best to suppress his anger and continued to concentrate on calculating, and the originally cloudless clear sky rumbled and boomed, and two big thunders exploded in succession.
"Heaven is warning me?" The national teacher immediately looked up, and an invisible deterrent force came towards him, and he gritted his teeth, he should have forced down the fishy sweetness that came up.
Lowering his head, he continued to calculate, and above the night sky, there were rumbling sounds one after another.
Most of the people in the palace, who had not slept, stayed in the house, and at this time they were awakened by the terrible thunder, and looked out in disbelief.
The emperor is not far away, what is the situation on the national teacher's side, he can only vaguely see a figure, but the vision in the sky was seen and listened to by him, and the emperor's mood also sank.
The national teacher calculated the fortunes of the Great Wei Dynasty, but would it attract such a terrifying thunderbolt?
What is it that can lead to such a vision?
"Go, send someone over and have a look...... Don't get too close, so as not to disturb the national teacher. ”
"Yes."
With a command, an attendant cautiously walked towards the observation deck.
As a result, before he reached the observation platform, that is, when he was still a hundred steps away, a bolt of lightning directly slashed down, and with the sound of thunder, the entire observation platform was directly split into rubble.
The Emperor stood up and ran in that direction.
The others were terrified in their hearts, and the emperor had run over, how could they not follow?
When the emperor approached the observation platform, the thunder above the night sky had already dispersed, and the dust on the observation platform was flying, and a figure jumped down crookedly, coughing, and came out of the dust.
When he was far away, he didn't find anything, but when he got closer, the emperor immediately saw the change in the other party, and said in surprise: "National teacher, you are ......"
The Taoist who originally looked to be in his thirties looked like he was thirty years old at the moment!
The Taoist coughed and said angrily: "Poor Dao has something to say, I want to talk to you in private......
"Stand down, all of you!" The Emperor glanced around and said immediately.
When everyone else retreated to at least twenty or thirty meters away, the national teacher wiped his face and said a little weakly: "Your Majesty, the poor road calculates the national fortune, and calculates that the Great Wei Dynasty may die in two generations, and the national fortune will collapse...... The only solution is to find the girl who was born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month of the year of Gengwu and has a phoenix life, and marry her to the prince...... in order to allow the Great Wei National Fortune to continue...... Ahem...... Remember, it must be a girl born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month of the Gengwu year and with a phoenix life......"
The emperor hurriedly asked, "But how can we know if it is a phoenix?" ”
How many girls are born on this day? You can't find them all and let the prince marry them all, right?
"Capacity...... Rong Poor Dao will pinch it again......" The national teacher gasped and said.
Just as the emperor nodded and waited, the national teacher standing in front of him moved his fingers, and suddenly with a wow, he spit out a large mouthful of black-red blood, and then the whole person fell straight down.
Emperor: "......"
"Hurry up and ask the Imperial Doctor!"
