Chapter 142: Five Stars Converge

"Wouldn't it?! How can the people of the Hehuan faction be so great?!"

Sven asked and answered himself.

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"

The thick-bearded young man nodded.

"I believe it too. The Hehuan sect has taken root in Cannes for more than 100 years, and the reason why it is far stronger than the other four major sects is that it has strong humanistic feelings, and is good at tapping people's potential and consolidating the heavenly path of disciples, and most disciples can become a person who is satisfied with themselves and their families. ”

Hu Monkey Road.

His words reminded the Qiu Defeat, who had been listening, of what Lilac once said. The meaning is pretty much the same.

It seems that the foundation of the Hehuan faction is deeper than imagined.

"There is nothing unexpected, only can't be done!"

The young man with buckteeth said.

"Something's wrong! Everybody's looking out the window!"

I don't know who is shouting.

So, Qiu Shi looked up at the windows and balconies, and as expected, many people were leaning there, pointing and scratching their fingers from time to time, whispering.

It is also vulgar to seek defeat, and I also approached the balcony to take a look.

In the blue sky and white clouds, there were no major birds or animals, no people or flying machines, but five very bright stars were seen.

In the west-northwest direction, a Mercury planet appears, in the west-northwest direction, a Venus planet, due west, a Mars, due west, a Saturn, and an east-southeast direction, a Jupiter.

"Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, are the five brightest planets in the solar system, and these five planets orbit the Sun in different cycles, and when viewed from Earth, they move near the ecliptic. When these five planets move to the same side of the Sun and they appear in the night sky at the same time from Earth, this phenomenon is called the convergence of five stars. Cannes hasn't seen a five-star convergence for thousands of years, which is a good sign. ”

There was an old man with a long beard next to him who said slowly.

"Old man, what is the connection between the appearance of the celestial phenomenon of the convergence of the five stars and our lives?"

Seeking defeat, I couldn't help asking.

"Young man, you really don't understand the five-star gathering. In ancient times, the convergence of the five stars was believed to bring good luck and was a good omen. "Shangshu Kao Lingyao" recounts the important moment of the opening of heaven and earth, and believes that at that time, 'five stars are like beads'. It is recorded in the "Spring and Autumn Yuan Lifebud" that "when the Shang Dynasty was in the Shang Dynasty, the five stars gathered in the room", of course, this article corresponds not to the Taoist King of Zhou, but to the Zhou State that flourished in the West. "The Book of Filial Piety, Hook Life" said that when Dayu, 'the stars are like beads, and Binghuan is like a lianbi'. Sima Qian said in the Book of Heavenly Officials in his "Historical Records" that the celestial phenomenon of 'five stars converging' means that there will be a Ming Lord in the world, and sages will always come to the world with the arrival of the five star confluence. ”

The long-bearded old man's eyes were blazing, he glanced at defeat, and said lightly

"Oh, I see. I'm really taught. ”

Defeat nodded in response.

After he lost his memory, he didn't remember anything, he really didn't know what the five-star convergence was. However, now, the bearded old man explained, and he understood.

"The joint recruitment is coming tomorrow, and there will be a five-star gathering on the eve, which is reminiscent and overjoyed. ”

The long-bearded old man said leisurely.

"Old man, is there another name for 'Five-Star Gathering'-'Five-Star Gathering'?"

Next to him, a shrewd and capable monk with a rat's whisker spoke.

The long-bearded old man glanced at him lightly, didn't speak directly, and stroked his long white beard for a while.

"The 'gathering of five stars' refers to a rare celestial phenomenon in which the five planets (wood, fire, metal, earth, and water) in the 'unity of heaven and man' system are densely gathered, a star of great political significance, and a star that expresses the 'will of heaven' (i.e., the will of the people), and the most serious consequence it will lead to is 'king change', or 'change of dynasty'. The theory that the 'gathering of the five stars' will lead to the consequences of a change of dynasty comes from the ancient concept of "the unity of heaven and man", that is, the celestial bodies have a correspondence with the human body ('one star in the sky, one ding on the earth') and the land inhabited by humans has a correspondence with the celestial stars. That is, the correspondence between the 'star and earth', including the correspondence between a group of stars and a certain land, and the correspondence between the five planets and the five lands. This star-earth correspondence is determined by prehistoric human history. ”

The Rat Whisker Monk said unhurriedly.

"However, from ancient times to the present, the 'gathering of five stars' often appears in the evening or evening night sky, and now it is noon, and its appearance must be happy and worried. In fact, 'five-star gathering' is an ancient astrological term in the Chilan Continent, also known as 'five-star convergence', 'five-star convergence', 'five-star convergence', 'five-latitude convergence', etc. Specifically, if the five planets are gathered within a certain star group, according to the relationship between the stars and the earth, it means that the princes of the five regions of the world will gather on the corresponding land of the star group, and at the same time, it means that all the people of the world gather on the land and support the owner of the land as the new emperor, and the emperor of the current dynasty must go to the field because he has lost the support of all the people, which is a change of dynasty. ”

After thinking for a moment, he added.

"Why do you say that when the 'Five Stars Gathering' appears, you have to change the dynasty?"

Ask for defeat.

"Little brother, in fact, this is an institutional design of democratic politics in ancient times. This system was designed to take into account the necessary social stability and the need for social innovation, which could ensure that a dynasty could rule steadily for a thousand years to a thousand years. Obviously, an excessively frequent social revolution is actually a kind of long-term social turmoil, which is not conducive to the survival and development of mankind, and an excessively stable society loses its vitality due to the lack of change, which is also not conducive to the survival and development of mankind. Therefore, generally speaking, if the five-star gathering place is not within the range of the sub-field stars of the royal family of the current dynasty, then the 'five-star gathering' is a great evil astrology for the king of the current dynasty and a great auspicious astrology for the king of the wilderness. ”

Monk Ratbeard.

"So, to what extent do the five planets (wood, fire, metal, earth, and water) gather to what extent can a real 'five-star gathering' event occur?

Qiu Xue continued to ask.

This time, the Rat Beard Monk did not answer directly, but looked at the defeat carefully, and felt that the impression was not bad, and he was interested in continuing to speak.

"Little brother, he should be a person who loves to learn. Let's put it this way, the basis for the definition of 'five stars' exists in the 'five stars of the North Pole'. The 'North Five Stars' are located in the center (range) of the North Heaven, and the center of the North Sky is the 'Heart of Heaven', representing the hearts of the people of the world. The 'degree of aggregation' embodied in the 'Polar Five' is actually the centripetal degree of the hearts of the people in the world. ”

"Imagine that if you take the north pole as the center point, and measure the distance from the north pole 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the center point, then the distance is expressed as ten degrees in terms of angles. That is to say, if the five planets converge within a celestial region with a range of 10 degrees, it means that a real 'five-star gathering' event has occurred in the astrological sense, and any 'five-star gathering' beyond this range is not a true five-star gathering. ”
