Chapter 231: Astrological Tortoise Shell
"What do you mean by missing a few?" Wu Dongfang asked puzzled.
The prince tilted his head and groaned, but did not answer.
"Do you mean that it is not the five-star alignment that appears in the north?" Wu Dongfang asked again.
"It's possible. The prince nodded.
"No way, you can't see Uranus and Neptune, and you can't see Pluto. Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.
"What did you say?" This time it was the prince's turn to be confused.
"You don't understand," Wu Dongfang beckoned to the people waiting outside the hall, "Come back, keep reading." ”
When everyone heard the sound, they returned to the main hall and started to recite it, and then recited some trivial things, Wu Dongfang had something on his mind, and he was absent-minded, so he let go of work early as soon as it was dark, and ordered the handyman who was in charge of the message to confirm when Juan Qi could come over.
Soon the errand runner came back, "Qiqi Holy Witch, Master Pingtian has already gone to pick up Master Qiqi in person, and he can come before the second watch." ”
"Let's go down. Wu Dongfang waved his hand at the miscellaneous servants.
After dinner, the prince went out for a walk, it doesn't like to live in a simple place, likes to wander the market, likes to be lively, and there is a night market in the summer at night.
Not long after entering the shift, Yun Ping arrived, followed by a hunched old mage, with white hair and a magic staff, and it seemed that there were not a hundred but ninety.
"Old man, meet the Holy Witch. The old mage trembled and knelt down.
"It's okay, it's really undeserved that you're so old and still have you running thousands of miles. "Wu Dongfang hurriedly helped up the old mage, his use of you does not depend on your identity and status, but on your age, and only when you are older can he use you.
"The old man is terrified, the holy witch summoned the old man over for the sake of the five-star alignment?" asked Wan Qi raised his head, although he was very old, this guy's eyes were not flowery, and there was spiritual light in them.
"Come on, come on, sit down and talk. Wu Dongfang helped Juan Qi to the seat on the side, sat down on the head, and pointed to the position of Juan Qi's head before sitting down.
"This matter is very important, and I am afraid that there will be an omission in sending someone to invite me, so I personally walked on it, and the old mage was full of bumps along the way. Yun Ping arched his hand at Yuqi.
Although Juan Qi is old, his cultivation is not high, only Yuxu is cultivated, and Yun Ping is a Taixuan cultivator, and he is a very human minister, Yun Ping said this, the old mage was extremely frightened, and hurriedly got up and humbled him.
Wu Dongfang smiled beside him, Yun Ping's words seemed to be said to Juanqi, but in fact he was said to him, and the implication was that he was only responsible for picking up people, and he didn't say Juanqi's words on the way back.
"Old man, you're right, I did invite you here to learn more about the details of the Five Stars Alignment, what do you think about this?" Wu Dongfang asked Chong Qi.
Juan Qi stood up tremblingly, and just wanted to speak, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and there was an area outside the hall where there was a void under the stone slab, and people close to the hall would take the initiative to step on that area to make a clear footstep sound, so that the people in the hall knew that someone was coming outside.
Waiting for the palace maid who delivered the tea to leave, Wu Dongfang closed the door of the palace from a distance of more than 20 meters, and instead helped the old master back to the seat and listened to him tell about the five-star alignment.
The appearance of the five-star alignment is a kind of auspicious omen, indicating the prosperity of the country and the victory of the war, but the five-star alignment usually appears in the east and the west, never in the north, and he has doubts in his heart, so he tried to divinate the hexagram, but the tortoise shell does not crack when it encounters fire, and it does not show good luck.
Wu Dongfang didn't know anything about divination, Yun Ping saw that he was puzzled, so he interjected to explain that at this time, divination mostly used tortoise shells, and after the sacrificial ceremony, the tortoise shells were burned, and the good luck and evil of the matter were speculated through the cracks of the tortoise shells.
"Will the Pingtian Master do divination?" Wu Dongfang asked Chongyunping.
"Rough talk. Yun Ping nodded.
"You go and prepare, and we'll do it again later. Wu Dongfang said.
Yun Ping nodded yes and got up to leave.
Yun Ping got up and stepped out of the threshold, Juan Qi turned his head three times, Wu Dongfang watched from the side, it seemed that Juan Qi had not told the truth before, at least he had reservations.
Sure enough, after Yun Ping left, Juan Qi turned his head to look at Wu Dongfang, "Holy Witch, don't worry about it anymore, the old man has already made a fortune before, but it's inconvenient to reveal others." ”
"Old mage, it's just you and me here, don't hesitate to say anything. Wu Dongfang nodded and said, Yuqi's surname is Xi, the wizard of the Xi clan and the wizard of the Yun clan have always been incompatible, and it is normal for him not to believe that Yun Ping.
Juan Qi carefully looked around the left and right, turned to tremble hands, took out a small bag from his arms, carefully put it on the wooden table between the two, and slowly unveiled it, this cloth bag has a total of three layers, the first layer is coarse linen, the second layer is blue fine linen, the third layer is yellow silk, open the yellow silk, inside is a tortoise shell, this tortoise shell is the back of the tortoise, the size of a palm, gray-white, at this time has been divided into two from the center, the crack is unusually neat.
"Look, Holy Witch. Juan Qi picked up the two pieces of tortoise shell and slowly handed them to Wu Dongfang.
Wu Dongfang took the two pieces of tortoise shells and looked at them carefully, he didn't know divination, and he could only see that the location of the two pieces of tortoise shells was originally integrated, and there was no pattern of bone and armor connection.
Just when he wanted to ask for advice, Juan Qi actually took out another cloth bag, the cloth bag is not big, this is placed in his right inner pocket, also wrapped in three layers, after opening it is also a tortoise shell, also divided into two, different from the former is the turtle's abdominal carapace, that is, the carapace of the abdomen.
"Old mage, I am not proficient in divination, please explain. Wu Dongfang took a piece of abdominal armor, docked it with one of the dorsal armors, and found that it could be matched, indicating that the pair of shells came from a turtle.
"Occupy the heavens with the turtle's back dry armor, occupy the land with the turtle's belly Kun armor," the old mage pointed to the back of a piece of back armor, "The turtle spine is the heavenly pillar, the left side of the heavenly pillar asks about the east and the west, and the right side asks about the north and the south. ”
After saying that, Juan Qi picked up another piece of abdominal armor, pointed to the front of the abdominal armor and said, "There are a total of 12 pieces of turtle belly Kun armor, which can be pushed to the ground for December and 24 qi festivals." ”
"Isn't it rare for a tortoise shell to split from the center?" asked Wu Dongfang.
Juan Qi nodded, pointed to the back armor and said, "This is the turtle ridge, it is possible to break elsewhere, but this is unusual. ”
Wu Dongfang pinched the half of the tortoise shell in his hand and looked at it carefully, there was a skeleton similar to a human spine on the inside of the tortoise's back carapace, and the tortoise shell was broken from here equivalent to a human bone being split in two from the spine.
"Old Master, please make it clear, what does this mean?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"The old man didn't dare to say. Strange shook her head slowly.
"It's just you and me, but it's okay to say it. Wu Dongfang said, if it was a good thing, Qi Qi would have said it a long time ago, and he would never swallow and spit out, such hesitation must be a bad thing, and it is a big bad thing.
"Please forgive me my innocence. Strange said.
"No matter what you say, I will not blame you. Wu Dongfang said.
Juan Qi let out a long sigh, trembling his right hand and pointing at the tortoise shell, "This is a sign that the heavens and the earth are cracking, and all living beings are dying." ”
"I really guessed right!" Wu Dongfang stood up suddenly, he had listened to the report for so many days, what he wanted was to find the precursor of the ghost king's army, although the divination results of Juan Qi were not optimistic, but it was the clue he was looking for.
Lou Qi was taken aback by Wu Dongfang and looked at Wu Dongfang in dismay.
Wu Dongfang sat down again, and said in a harmonious voice, "Old mage, rest assured, the sky can't fall, the ground can't sink, and we won't die a tragic death." ”
"The Holy Witch has already snooped on the matter?" asked Juan Qi in confusion.
Wu Dongfang nodded, divination is a very emotional thing, it needs to be understood flexibly, Juan Qi misinterpreted the result of divination, in fact, this is not the real sense of the heavens and the earth, but the gates of the heavenly realm and the underworld will be opened, and the three realms are connected to each other, which is roughly consistent with the previous speculation of him and Wang Ye Fei Xuan and others.
"Does the Holy Witch have a way to deal with it?" asked Juan Qi worriedly.
"Now that the world has been decided, the five clans have returned to their hearts, and no matter what happens, we have a way to deal with it. Wu Dongfang said out loud, his words were purely to comfort Juan Qi, he was not even sure what would happen to the connection of the Three Realms, how could there be any way to deal with it.
Juan Qi didn't know what Wu Dongfang was thinking, and she was determined when she heard the words.
"Old Mage, can you point out where the Five Stars are at the moment?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Hui Shengwu asked, the five stars loom at different times, and they cannot be seen at the same time. Juan Qi shook her head and said.
Wu Dongfang knows very little about astronomical knowledge, except for the Big Dipper who discerns the direction, the other stars can't be named at all, let alone know their trajectory, fortunately only Wanqi himself is present at this time, otherwise it will be a big shame.
"According to your observations, when will the Five Star Alignment appear?" Wu Dongfang changed his question.
Instead of answering immediately, she fused the two pieces of back armor into one, pointed to the inner spine and said, "Holy Witch, please look, one, two, three......"
Juan Qi has been counting to eight, there are eight pairs of ribs attached to the tortoiseshell spine, "eight ribs correspond to eight stars, these five pairs should be gold, wood, water, fire and earth five stars, and three stars have not been seen so far, single for the birth of auspicious, double for the murderer, the north for the water, for the netherworld, the main life and death, the five stars for the auspicious signs, should not appear in the north, both in the north, by no means five stars, when it is a double number, the pillar of heaven is cracked, when it is eight stars in a row, for the destruction of the world." ”
"To be honest, I don't know much about the celestial phase, I don't really understand what you said, if what you said is true, when will the Eight Star Alignment appear," Wu Dongfang asked in harmony.
"Let's think about it. Strange said.
Wu Dongfang nodded, wrapped the two pairs of tortoise shells, and handed them to Juan Qi, who took it and put it in his arms.
She thinks about the trajectory of celestial bodies, which involves geometric principles and is very complex.
Dozens of seconds later, Yun Ping returned, he didn't come back by himself, but brought Ji Ruo, Xi Ruo is the Holy Witch of the Tu Clan, Yun Ping has been very careful to deal with her relationship, lest Xi Ruo feel that he has no respect for his superiors and deceives him out of bounds.
When the two came, Juan Qi stopped calculating and saluted Xi Ruo, he was afraid of Yun Ping, and he was respectful to Ji Ruo, and he could obviously feel the taste of closeness.
Before divination, preparations were to be carried out, Yun Ping sang and shouted outside the hall, and Wu Dongfang and Ji Ruo were nervously waiting for the results of Juqi's calculations in the hall.
After more than ten minutes, Juan Qi opened his eyes, "Since I don't see another three stars, I can only calculate with five stars, the Taibai star arches to the west, the year star greets, the star falls, and the glow is ......."
"When?" Wu Dongfang interrupted Juanqi's analysis process, he couldn't understand the calculation process, he just wanted to know the final result.
"The dots are connected into a line at the neutron time of the month, and the line is broken at noon at the end of the month, and the line is returned to the point for fifteen days. Strange said in a low voice.
"What month is the middle of the month?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"In the middle of this month. Strange said.
"Huh, isn't that tomorrow......"
