At this moment, across the Habuchi Strait, thousands of miles away, the night sky of Luoyi was clear and cloudless.

  The peaks of the mountain, made entirely of rocks, protrude above the peak, and the pale cyan moonlight shines on the ancient stargazing platform.

  In the stargazing platform, the entire ground is a huge copper disk etched with stars, sun and moon, and various intricate markings, and the black-robed and white-haired Taoist sits in the center of the astrolabe, rotating slowly.

  There was darkness all around, except for the light of the stars and crescent that shone through the huge gaps in the bronze roof.

  It is as quiet as the first opening of Hongmeng, and only the sound of water droplets is heard.

  The brass celestial globe is propelled by the force of water droplets, and dozens of bronze wheels carved with scales and symbols rotate around its axis. The Taoist's pale golden eyes opened and closed, and the celestial gazetteer combined with the astrolabe sent the tidal wave of numbers into his eyes. His hands are constantly laying out calculations, thousands of star tracks and hundreds of star fields, all in his grasp.

  He was about to lose count of how many years he had observed the stars in this way, as if this was his life, destined. He never hesitated, and probably won't regret it.

  Probably......

  is also dressed in a white robe, as the owner of this stargazing platform, the old supervisor is not as hard as the students, lying on the side bathing in the moonlight, holding the wine bottle in his hand, drunk eyes. There is very little good wine among the bream, and for the wise bream, it is indecent to faint from the wine, and the power of the wine will also burn their slightly thin bodies. But the teacher is different, he gets drunk every night and completely loses the job of recording the star map to the students.

  "You are so good, you will definitely surpass my achievements, why don't you take over my responsibilities now. "That's what the teacher said to the students, and no matter how it sounds, it seems like shirking responsibility.

  "Qianli, are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, you can sleep for a while. The teacher raised his eyes.

  "I'm not sleepy, I get enough sleep during the day, eighty or ninety? I've always looked at the stars like this, and if I close my eyes, I don't know what to do. The Taoist named Qianli said lightly.

  "The Seven Western Nakshatras are slowly rising, and beyond the crape myrtle, the Taibai Star, which symbolizes war, will meet it, and the glow will go hand in hand. The teacher shook his head and smiled, "Actually, what's the use of our observations, those stars are gods, their movements cannot be interfered with, and they never change due to our love and hatred." ”

  "Yes. Qianli said. He never doubted the teacher, and even if he was drunk, the teacher could casually tell the changes in the stars, as if there was a celestial gazetteer in his head.

  "Then why are you observing them?"

  "I want to know how it works, even if I can't change it. ”

  "Once you know the pattern, you'll want to change it. The teacher stood up and walked to the window to look out.

  There were two figures suspended silently in the air under the night sky, and farther away, at the intersection of the road that must be passed up the mountain, I don't know how many figures flickered, and I didn't need to look closely to know that those people were wearing lacquer armor and had sharp arrows stuck in their quivers.

  "Have you ever thought about what you would do if one day, the movement of the stars suddenly stopped?"

  Qianli was stunned for a moment, "Stop?"

  "Look up. ”

  Qianli raised his head suddenly, stunned, at this moment, the brightest crape myrtle in the sky stopped!

  In the middle of the house, the young man in white poured the last of the wine into the cup, held it high above the top, and then poured it in the brazier. The raging fire illuminated his still immature face, an expressionless face: "Sorrow, the soul returns." ”
