Chapter 1: Seven Stars and Moons
Chapter 1: Seven Stars and Moons
Everyone dreams, and Jiang Yulong has often dreamed the same dream since he became self-conscious.
However, he only had a vague image of the recurring dream, and he could not remember what it was.
Before dawn, he was awakened by this nightmare, sweating profusely and panicking. But as always, he still couldn't remember what he had dreamed about.
It was too early in the morning, and the whole palace was still quiet. Jiang Yulong got up and drank water to suppress the shock, and then collapsed and lay down.
Jiang Yulong frowned, looked at the ceiling silently, sighed, and then remembered the bumpy experience on the road of martial arts practice in the past three years, and laughed at himself unwillingly.
"I, Jiang Yulong, am also the third prince of the Lingjing Kingdom of the Desolate God State, and I didn't enter the Jade Void Capital Academy-hmph!"
The Jade Void Capital Academy is a sacred place for martial arts directly under the court, and to put it bluntly, it is directly under the direct command of his father. However, he still can't understand why ordinary people can enter the Jade Void Academy, but he can't?
Because of this incident, many people say that he is a waste, but he knows very well that the most critical reason why he failed to enter the Jade Void Academy is actually his father.
His father, Jiang Yanhong, was the ruler of the country, an emperor with great ambitions to conquer the entire state.
However, in all Jiang Yulong's memories, his father rarely talked to him, and never gave him the fatherly love he deserved. But when it comes to the reason, Jiang Yulong has never known, and no one dares to tell him.
In the past three years, Jiang Yulong has been groping for the essentials of martial arts alone, and often carrying heavy loads to exercise his physical fitness on Guangming Mountain in the south of the city.
He went out early in the morning with dry food until evening, when he suddenly patted his head and suddenly realized.
"Isn't it my 13th birthday, I almost forgot. Be sure to return to the palace quickly, the mother and brother must have prepared a birthday feast. β
The setting sun officially descended to the dome of the Jade Void Capital.
The clouds spread out from the junction of heaven and earth in the west, gradually changing from the shape of a dark yellow fire phoenix to a piece of lead-black fish scales.
It was the first time in Jiang Yulong's life that he had seen this kind of seeping and strange sky, he was panting and sweating, and he quickly stopped, stopped in the middle of the street, widened his eyes, and looked up.
"Did you hear that there will be a vision of seven stars and a moon tonight-"
In the Jade Void Capital, almost everyone is talking about this matter.
The thick stratus clouds covered thousands of miles, and the sky suddenly seemed to press on everyone's heads.
The entire high-rise buildings in the capital seemed to disappear in an instant.
In the bustling streets, everyone felt an unprecedented pressure, and even many old people's breathing became rapid.
Some of the people in the royal city were shocked, and they rushed to their homes with their footsteps. But there were also many people who were not afraid, and rushed to the Aragami Hall in the center of the city in droves.
"Hurry up and find a good location, I have never seen the wonders of the seven stars and the moon in my life. β
The Aragami Temple was located in the center of the Jade Void Capital, and the circular square in front of the temple soon gathered many civilians who were not afraid of death. The square immediately had an additional platoon of soldiers patrolling, and the surrounding tall buildings were covered with crossbowmen.
At this time, several young soldiers who had changed the guard were talking privately.
"I heard some old people in the village say that the celestial phenomenon of the Seven Stars and the Moon appeared once thirteen years ago, but this matter seems to have been blocked by the whole country, and no one is allowed to talk about it again. β
"Thirteen years ago, you can be quiet. β
In stark contrast to the city, there was almost no movement in the palace, and no one cared about it.
But this unusual calm is likely to be just an illusion?
Sure enough, at this time, an archmage with long silver-white hair and a black snake battle appeared on the stargazing platform, looking at the strange accumulation of stratus clouds with a worried face, and his arms shuddered.
"National Teacher-" The person who appeared behind the national teacher was the king of this country, Jiang Yanhong.
This national teacher's name is Beidou, and he is the person with the highest cultivation in the entire country, and he has successfully passed the Three Nine Tribulations and reached the level of the divine vein, so he is wearing a purple and gold robe.
The cultivation and seniority of the national teacher are extremely high, so even the king Jiang Yanhong is very humble, and he bows in front of his chest with his right hand squared.
The Beidou National Master slowly turned around, Pang Meihao had a helpless sad face written on his head, and the black snake staff in his hand still emitted a faint purple light intermittently.
"It's been thirteen years in the blink of an eye, is the national teacher auspicious or fierce tonight?" King Jiang Yanhong's brows were furrowed like a folding fan, and his anxious face was full of worries about pond fish.
"Whether it is good or evil, what can the king change? β
Although Beidou's wrinkled face was worried, he still persuaded His Majesty to calm down.
Jiang Yanhong took a step forward, stood on the towering stargazing platform and stared at the royal city at nightfall, and then stopped his gaze on the royal palace due north.
"The national teacher knows what this king wants to ask, and this is the second time that the national teacher has rejected this king. Jiang Yanhong's eyes were suddenly full of unhappiness.
Beidou walked in front of him, raised his sleeve and motioned for the king to look at the dark city again.
"Look, my lord, in this confusion, we all want to see through the night, but these unsightly black clouds will always make us make a biased judgment. β
Beidou thought it was too simple, or was Jiang Yanhong really too obsessed with certain things?
Jiang Yanhong stared at this Divine Vein Rank Archmage, and all his unhappiness suddenly poured out.
It is true that he respects this great teacher in his heart, but after all, he is the king who commands a country.
"National teacher, there are only three things, if the answer that this king wants next time can't be obtained-" Jiang Yanhong glanced back at the mysterious stargazing platform, changed his tone, and said angrily: "This king burned down the stargazing platform." β
At this time, Jiang Yulong, who was tired and panting, returned to the palace, and when he walked through the imperial garden, he actually saw his father walking quickly.
However, Jiang Yulong couldn't see the stiff and angry look on his father's face, he was very happy in his heart, and wanted to rush out and shout at him.
But based on the impression that his father left him all the year round, he finally dispelled his thoughts and quickly hid behind the rockery to secretly look at his father.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the mother concubine Yueqin also appeared in the imperial garden.
"Yueqin?"
When Jiang Yanhong saw her, he was a little surprised, glanced behind Yueqin, saw that there was no one, and said hesitantly: "You are alone." β
Yueqin looked up, her eyes were full of caution, and then she mustered up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, tonight is Ah Long's thirteenth birthday. β
It's good that Yueqin didn't mention this matter, but after mentioning it, Jiang Yanhong was unhappy again, his eyes were stunned, like two sharp swords forcing Yueqin's heart.
"Didn't the king decree that no one should mention anything about the thirteenth year? not even your son's birthday. Don't have the illusion that I'm going to participate. β
The scene of Jiang Yanhong throwing his sleeves and leaving away was just in Jiang Yulong's eyes.
He silently leaned against the rockery, and the uneven stone wall was like sharp ice piercing into his body.
Fatherβ
Jiang Yulong shouted silently in his heart, and then secretly glanced at his father's indifferent and resolute back.
Over the years, he had long been accustomed to his father's indifference. But when I saw this scene in person, the strong heart that had been cultivated for a long time was suddenly thundered.
Jiang Yulong didn't go back at all, and when he was lost and godless, he actually turned out of the palace again.
The streets were already empty, and the brave ones had gone to the Aragami Temple, and the rest had long since closed their doors.
Jiang Yulong has nowhere to go, and his heart is poignant, but he can do it without shedding a single tear when he is young.
He endured the sadness in his heart, and then also went to the temple in the center of the Jade Void Capital.
In the night, the waning moon dimmed, and the moonlight was surrounded by clouds of fish scales, as if the dim moonlight was locked in the magic circle.
"Wow, look, look, it's outβ"
In the exclamation of everyone, they saw that in the northeast of the waning moon, three bright and huge stars like jade disks appeared in turn and joined in a straight line.
Oh my God-
Sure enough, it's a spectacle, there are such stars?
It's completely different from the seven stars in the book?
