Chapter 2 Nine Stars in Alignment
"Ask brother, good news, there is a news on the Internet, saying that around eleven o'clock tonight, there is a rare strange celestial phenomenon in 10,000 years, you must be interested. The fat man's happy voice came, obviously in a good mood.
"Oh? Yang Tianwen was aroused by curiosity, and Yang Tianwen was still very interested in the astrological theory.
"I don't know what it is, the news doesn't explain it, it's mysterious, although I'm not interested, but I know you like this thing, so I'm here to inform you. The fat man replied.
"Oh, okay, I see. Yang Tianwen sighed, hung up the phone, lost his interest in reading, folded the pages, carefully put them on the shelf, picked up the stone slab next to the bed, took out a magnifying glass, and studied it.
Just now on the stall is a distant view, now carefully examined, surprised to find that this slate about half an inch thick, the compass pattern on it has no traces of artificiality, this discovery, let Yang Tianwen marvel at the greatness and magic of nature.
Upon closer examination, this compass does not seem to be the compass used in modern times, but rather the ancient compass used by the predecessors in ancient times when looking at feng shui, and the compass used in modern times, although there are some similarities in function, but the composition is still different.
The compass consists of three main parts:
1. Tianchi: also called the bottom of the sea, which is also the compass. The Tianchi of the compass is composed of a thimble, a magnetic needle, a sea bottom line, a cylindrical outer box, and a glass cover, which is fixed in the center of the inner disk. There is a pointed thimble in the center of the bottom of the round box, and there is a concave hole in the center of the bottom surface of the magnetic needle, and the magnetic needle is placed on the thimble. The direction of the compass with an arrow pointing south and the other end pointing north.
There is a red line drawn on the bottom surface of the Tianchi (seabed), called the sea line, and there are two red dots on both sides of the north end, so that the north end of the magnetic needle coincides with the sea line.
However, there is no pointer or so on in the Tianchi on this stone slab, it is just a small circle to distinguish it, and there is nothing in it.
2. Inner disk: It is the disc that can be rotated immediately outside the compass. There are many concentric circles printed on the inner plate, and one circle is called a layer. Each layer is divided into different equal parts, some have more layer grids, some have fewer layer grids, the least is only divided into eight grids, and the most layers have 384 grids. Each grid is printed with a different character. There are many types of compasses, some have more layers, some have less, the most has 52 layers, and the least has only 5 layers.
And this palm-sized slab has only three layers, which is strange. But the above implicitly reveals the heavenly and terrestrial branches, and the gossip of the five elements.
3. Outer disk
The outer plate is square, which is the tray of the inner plate, and there is a small hole in the middle point of each of the four outer sides, which penetrates the red line to become Tianxin Shidao, which is used to read the contents of the inner plate surface.
It's just that on this stone slab, there are only some strange tadpole-like and rune-like things on the outer disk, which are different from the compasses sold outside.
Unconsciously, an afternoon passed, Yang Tianwen raised his head and looked at the time, calculated, put the stone plate in his hand into his pocket, got some food casually, and went out with his mobile phone. I bought a pack of cigarettes and a couple of bread at a convenience store and walked down the hill behind the school. The hill is not high, but it is the highest point in the vicinity. I skillfully lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, this time I bought a good cigarette, no longer the cheap cigarettes that I usually smoke.
It was almost nine o'clock when I climbed the hill, and I walked a little slower, anyway, it was not bad for this time, looking at the night view of the mountain on the hillside, it was not a good taste, not to mention, sitting here and looking down at the night view was also one of Yang Tianwen's few interests. Because it can make him more tranquil and conducive to the broadening of his mind.
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed, and at this time, the fat man's phone was turned on: "Brother Qian, I forgot, we don't seem to see this celestial phenomenon here, because it is news from the northeast." Our southeast is completely unreliable. ”
Yang Tianwen didn't get angry or anything, just stunned slightly, and replied: "Oh, it's okay, I'll just come up and blow the wind, you better hurry up to find a buyer, sell that piece of jade, we don't have to worry about it for at least more than a year." After saying that, he hung up the phone, took out the slate compass, and checked it with the starlight and the bright moonlight. Then he put it at his feet, then put the bread on it, took out one and ate it slowly.
In the dead of night, Yang Tianwen who did not bury himself in the book, always felt very lonely, felt that he was so discordant with the whole world, and felt that he was so incompatible with the luxurious city.
Half an hour had passed, the bread had been eaten, and it was getting late, and although there was no need for class tomorrow morning, it was time to go back. Standing up, picking up the stone plate, and when he was about to leave, he looked up at the sky, and suddenly nine shining stars appeared, I don't know if it was an illusion, or if it was the case, these nine stars flashed nine different colors, which was extremely magical. Standing out from the crowd of stars, it is still moving slowly.
Yang Tianwen wiped his eyes, making sure that he was not mistaken, they were slowly moving. Yang Tianwen was stunned, and did not pay attention to the stone plate in his hand, the Tianchi that had nothing on the originally calm stone compass also flashed with nine different lights, but it was very faint, and it disappeared in a flash, Yang Tianwen looked up at the sky, such a celestial wonder, had deeply attracted him, and there was no time for him to care.
Nine stars flashing with colorful light are slowly lining up with the moon, Yang Tianwen doesn't know whether this celestial phenomenon should be called a nine-star alignment or a ten-star alignment, but it is certain that this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, Yang Tianwen's eyes are reluctant to blink, for fear of missing a little detail.
And at this moment, the changes of the compass were even more strange, and all kinds of marks and runes on it emerged from the compass, and the compass that was originally a stone gradually turned into a pale cyan concave and convex real compass, but the appearance was still the same as before.
