In the dead of night, the thousand-year-old capital is as quiet as a beautiful woman taking a bath.
Under the starry sky, at the southwest corner of the imperial city, you can see the Yong'an Water from the east, west and south, and the Tai Chi Treasure Hall to the north. There is a nine-story treasure building in the most feng shui treasure place, called the Star Reaching Pavilion. It is the highest place in Chang'an, and people are in it.
, often called the Nine Heavens.
There is a young Taoist in Zhaixing Pavilion who is proficient in magic, named Li Chunfeng.
At the beginning of the fourth year of Zhenguan, in addition to the war in the north, a plague of locusts broke out a hundred miles west of Chang'an. The plague of locusts was the most rampant in a century, gnawing at tens of thousands of hectares of fertile farmland. Hundreds of thousands of people were helpless, and officials from all over the country were at a loss.
Reported that a swarm of insects was attacking Chang'an.
When Li Shimin heard this, he urgently summoned his ministers to discuss the response, but the ministers had no solution. Only Prime Minister Xiao Yu recommended one person, saying that this person was the reincarnation of the Taoist Immortal. He could seek blessings from heaven and prevent the locust plague from reaching Chang'an.
This person is Li Chunfeng.
The Star Reaching Pavilion was built at that time.
All the manpower in Chang'an was exhausted to build an unprecedented nine-story treasure building.
Legend has it that Li Chunfeng performed the ritual on the roof of the nine-story treasure building after it was built. A moment later, a heavy rain fell and swept across Chang'an. After the heavy rain, the palace was rewarded, and the swarm of insects that had been rampant for a while disappeared without a trace, and Chang'an was free from worries.
After this incident, Li Chunfeng became famous overnight and won the respect of Li Shimin. He even established a new office of Si Tianjian to observe star charts and predict good and bad luck for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Chunfeng was ordered to use one of the three Taoist classics "Gui Zang" to deduce and calculated that there would be changes in the celestial phenomena at the end of August and early September in the fifth year of Zhenguan, and there would be celestial phenomena showing Li and Tang's fortune for a hundred years.
Tonight is when Li Chunfeng is about to give his answer.
The star-catching platform is three feet square, enough to accommodate one person.
If two people are on the same stage, it will look crowded. There is nothing to block the situation. One step away is an abyss of ten feet. If they make the slightest mistake, they will be thrown to pieces.
On a square inch of land, a group of people sat cross-legged. Li Shimin stood upright with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the stars. The entire Tang Dynasty was at his feet, and the thousand-year-old city was unobstructed.
The night breeze is blowing, the autumn air is crisp, and the stars and moon are company. It is a good night.
But Li Shimin had no time to pay attention to him. He stood still and did not dare to move. When the wind came, he lowered his head extremely cautiously and looked at the flames of the seven copper lotus candlesticks in the center, fearing that one of them would go out.
"This seven-star lamp controls the fate of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years. One lamp extinguishes the resentment of the people, two lamps extinguish evil spirits, three lamps extinguish natural disasters, and four lamps extinguish the dispersion of people's hearts..."
"That's enough!" Li Shimin interrupted coldly, frowned, stood in front of the seven-star lantern, looked up at the sky again, and sneered, "The wind is so cool tonight that I can't even put out a single lantern!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the night wind came again. This time the wind was very strong. The flames of the seven-star lamps swayed, and the lamp oil was blown away. Several lamps only had blue wicks, and they were about to go out in one breath.
Li Shimin was horrified and quickly squatted down, wrapping his arms around the seven-star lantern to protect him.
After half a minute of this, the wind gradually weakened and the lights gradually returned to normal.
Li Shimin was a little nervous. He looked at Li Chunfeng sitting cross-legged and wondered what he meant by what he just thought.
Li Chunfeng looked at it with a smile: "It seems that this world can prosper for a hundred years under the protection of the emperor!"
"Seriously?!" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
Li Chunfeng pointed to the sky: "Tonight is full of stars, which indicates that the world will be prosperous. Now the time has come, the stars are in good condition, the emperor star is prosperous, and the Tang Dynasty will be worry-free for a hundred years!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Aiqing is indeed a man of enlightenment. The Tang Dynasty has worked hard for a hundred years of great achievements. I am very pleased to have these words of love for you. I want to give you any reward, but it doesn't matter."
Li Chunfeng smiled and shook his head: "I don't ask for anything else, I just ask that the emperor will live up to this world for a hundred years."
After hearing this, Li Shimin's expression gradually became serious. He looked at the highest point in the world, glanced at the mountains and rivers under the moon, and said loudly: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have always put the prosperity of the world first, pleasing myself second, promoting the imperial examination, suppressing the nobles, promoting water conservancy, and building civil engineering.
, The troops are strong and the horses are strong, and they are aiming for a grand plan. Now that the Turks have returned to their hearts, they have no worries about far and near. Who of the ancient emperors can be compared?"
Li Chunfeng smiled: "The way of heaven is reincarnated. If the emperor continues to put the people first, the way of heaven will surely prosper and the country will be able to last forever. If the emperor is slightly deviated, the way of heaven will definitely warn and show something, and what the emperor says can be hidden from the world.
, but it cannot be hidden from this world. The emperor’s star is prosperous tonight, which proves that what the emperor said is true, and I am not arrogant to stay in the capital to assist the emperor."
Li Shimin nodded.
At this time, a father-in-law's voice came from downstairs: "Your Majesty, the time has come, we should return to the palace."
Li Shimin looked at Li Chunfeng again and said in a low voice: "Ai Qing, continue to observe the stars. If there is any change in the stars, please inform me immediately. There must be no mistakes!"
"I accept the decree."
"Also, how long will the medicine of immortality last?"
Hearing this, Li Chunfeng frowned slightly and did not answer.
"The missing winter cicada's slough has been found. Is there anything else that I haven't found yet?"
"Immortality is the way to go against heaven. If you don't have the time, if you force it, it will only bring disaster. Your Majesty will have to wait."
"Wait...just wait!" Li Shimin showed a rare expression of helplessness, flicked his dragon robe, and carefully went downstairs.
After the emperor left, Li Chunfeng was alone on the star-catching platform, looking at the seven-star lantern in front of him and then at the stars above his head.
The stars are extremely beautiful tonight. Li Chunfeng has been making deductions since last year. He has a feeling that there should be some changes in the omen from heaven this time. Even if nothing major happens, there will always be some trouble.
But I didn't expect that the sky was filled with stars, and the seven-star lanterns were also brightly lit. Although they were swaying, the fire was very strong.
The fortunes of the Tang Dynasty are booming, and within a hundred years there will probably be a rare prosperity and peace since ancient times.
It wasn't that Li Chunfeng didn't want to see such astrology, but he felt that things were going too smoothly, which was somewhat different from his past experience.
Just as he was looking up to the sky and thinking, he suddenly seemed to feel something, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Huh?"
The stars in the sky above our heads remained the same, but the Emperor Star suddenly disappeared!
The Emperor Star is missing!
Li Chunfeng's mind buzzed, and he thought to himself: How could this be possible?
The Emperor Star represents the royal destiny, and the stars in the sky are all its vassals and signs of heavenly signs. Even though the Emperor Star is weak, it should be the brightest one in the sky!
If there is a dynasty change soon, a new emperor star will appear, whose brilliance will overshadow everything else.
However, among the stars in the sky, there is no sign of any star becoming an emperor star.
Li Chunfeng has been observing stars for more than ten years and has never seen anything like this before!
I was so excited that I stood up suddenly and almost mentioned the seven-star lantern.
Fortunately, I stopped because of urgent matters and didn't make any big mistakes.
Now he looked up at the sky, looking for the Emperor Star.
The star-catching platform he chose to build was drawn by the Emperor's Star, which occupies the Feng Shui lifeline of the entire Chang'an City. It is called Star-catching, and you can reach the stars with your hands!
It means that the top of the head is where the Emperor Star is.
The star picking platform is facing the night sky where the Emperor Star was at that time. After a year of observation, one day has not changed. Only at this moment, the Emperor Star is not visible above the head, but...
But a dazzling full moon!
"This...is this a sign from heaven? The bright moon is in the sky...the bright moon is in the sky!"
Li Chunfeng's face changed, and his back was instantly soaked. He looked at the seven-star lantern in front of him. Since the bright moon occupied the position of the emperor star in the sky, the fire of the seven-star lantern suddenly increased sharply. The lamp oil dripped on the stage, as if it was about to burn the star-catching platform.
.
This is a strange scene that Li Chunfeng has never seen before. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and calculated with his fingers.
"The demon star came to the world, reversed the course of a thousand years, and the three generations of Li and Tang changed hands!"
As soon as I finished muttering to myself, I unexpectedly fell from the top of the Star-Zhaing Tower with just one move of my foot!
…
In the small academy, Bai Song sat cross-legged on the stone table in the courtyard.
I didn't feel sleepy at all tonight, but I felt upset.
For no other reason than to put in place the sixteen-character comment Yuan Tiangang left in class.
Not only was he worried that his identity would be discovered, but he also cast doubt on the entire era.
Bai Song was thinking, if such bizarre things as time travel can happen, and warriors have inner energy, then why is it impossible for immortals to exist in this world?
If there really are immortals, will Yuan Tiangang really see through his secret?
Will he regard himself as a monster, transform into Fa Hai, and have to accept him?
Is it possible that I really want to strike first?
Bai Song looked at the sky, his thoughts confused.
But the moonlight tonight is strange. It seems to be rounder and more transparent than the moon on August 15th.
"What are you doing!"
The white bee's voice appeared behind him, and the little book boy rubbed his eyes, feeling sleepy.
There was no one around, and she wasn't as respectful as usual.
"Can't sleep."
"We have to leave the city at dawn. How can you find the energy if you don't sleep?"
"You go to sleep, I will go to bed later."
Bai Feng did not go back, but walked to Bai Song and looked at Bai Song seriously: "Why are you acting weird today?"
"Is there any?"
"Of course! If you are worried, just say whatever you want. Just say whatever you want me to do." Bai Feng lost his sleepiness and sat next to Bai Song. He imitated Bai Song and looked at the sky.
.
Bai Song was not as calm as he looked on the outside. In fact, he was a little irritable. He didn't want to think about those illusory things. Now he just wanted a way to divert his thoughts. When he saw Bai Feng sitting beside him, his crystal clear face and
The earlobes are particularly conspicuous under the moonlight.
"I've never asked you, how old are you?"
"Hmm..." White Bee was surprised, looking at his fingers and calculating carefully, "Sixteen years and five days?"
"Sixteen! Are you already sixteen?" Bai Song was greatly surprised. Looking at Bai Feng's appearance, he always thought he was a girl aged thirteen or fourteen.
"You...what do you mean, do you dislike me for being old?"
Bai Song swallowed and stared at her plain chest: "That means you are an adult, right?"
"You...what are you going to do?!"
"Didn't you say that you can do anything you want?"
"I, I, I...I am not just a girl. If you keep looking around, believe it or not, I will stab you with a needle!"
"Tch." Bai Song spat boredly, thinking about it and continuing to look at the sky.
It was rare for Bai Feng to see Bai Song so melancholy. He couldn't bear it for some reason. He patted Bai Song slowly and said, "Oh, don't be so sad. Come with me."
Bai Feng grabbed Bai Song's hand and pulled him up.
"What? Where to go?"
Bai Feng pointed to the study room on the side: "Here, go to the study room and I will take off your clothes for you to see."
[The author has something to say]
I feel that some things may be written too obscurely, causing misunderstandings among some readers. The author promises not to tamper with history, and is based on historical facts in the general direction. The most recent paragraph is the foreshadowing and beginning of a large chapter in the future.
This is not a random fabrication. Taoism declined and Buddhism flourished at this point in time. Criticism was the beginning. The protagonist was the key to witness and influence everything. Therefore, Xuanzang and Yuan Tiangang appeared, and through their words and deeds, they tried their best to
Write the essential difference between the two religions. Si Tianjian is not from the Tang Dynasty, but it can be understood as a period of history that was erased. There is also a bright moon in the sky, which are all metaphors.
