Astrology, known as stargazing in Liyue, is the earliest developed discipline in occult science or human scholarship.
When human civilization shifted from gathering, fishing and hunting to planting and animal husbandry, astrology gradually developed. Looking up at the sky, observing the farming season, and judging solar terms are essential skills for any agricultural country. People refer to them as astrology.
study.
Astrology is a very complex and ancient subject. In the continent of Teyvat, ancient often means powerful.
Unfortunately, Famas did not conduct too in-depth research on astrology. After all, the starry sky of the Teyvat continent is false, and for mortals, astrology can be regarded as the most profound mysticism.
Knowledge is also the subject that requires the most talent.
If you don't have enough talent, you can't see anything even if you work hard enough to blind your eyes. If you study for a lifetime, you can only learn the most basic general knowledge and be able to roughly calculate the direction of the movement of celestial bodies.
But if your talent is outstanding enough, even if you are fast asleep with your head covered in the middle of the night, the stars will tell you the revelation of your destiny through dreams.
However, the gods themselves represent one or more rules for the movement of the sky.
Therefore, even if he has no knowledge or skills, a powerful demon god can know the movement of the stars in the sky without any teacher, and can even use his own will as the fulcrum to influence the trajectory of the celestial bodies.
For example, Heulia was resurrected from the dead.
The light of the Salt Mother Star is so bright that even ordinary people who have never understood astrology can inadvertently see the bright constellations when they look up at night. Scholars from the Xumi Academy can use astronomical instruments to
See more clearly.
Scholars of Lido Brahma explore the wonders of the evolution of the starry sky, but they do not know that the stars themselves are also chasing them.
Putting aside the changes in the starry sky for the time being, after Wendy mentioned Heulia's name, Paimon also remembered this very important matter and hurriedly caught Zhongli and asked:
"By the way, Mr. Zhongli, Miss Heulia..."
What Paimon wanted to ask was about the handling of the rebellion between Heulia and the Silver Plains Hall, and the life of traveling companions these days also made Zhongli understand Paimon's unfinished words, and he nodded thoughtfully.
"Before the ceremony of sending immortals began, Ningguang discussed with me how to deal with the rebellion in Yinyuan Hall. However, Zhong is just a guest of Purangsheng Hall. How dare he influence Qixing's thoughts, so I didn't say much."
"But in my opinion, Miss Ningguang is a person who keeps her promise. Since she has taken over Heulia's authority, she will abide by the contract and exempt everyone in Yinyuan Hall from the death penalty. However, the death penalty may be avoided, but the living penalty is difficult.
Escape, as for Heulia..."
"Although the Salt Mother was resurrected through an evil sacrifice, she was not responsible. After losing the power of the Demon God, the current Salt Demon God is no different from an ordinary old woman... Heulia is currently placed in the temporary residence of the General Affairs Department, and Seven Stars arranged it
Two fully equipped Qianyan Army squadrons are responsible for the security of Yan Mu’s residence.”
Zhongli explained Heulia's situation as tactfully as possible, but everyone present understood that rather than saying that these two Qianyan Army squadrons were protecting Heulia's safety, it would be better to directly state that they were monitoring the Salt Demon God's every move.
.
Although this approach seems a bit unhuman, considering that Ningguang ultimately holds the power in Liyue, wants to tightly hold all power in his hands, and is eager to control and strangle any unstable factors, such a move is similar to house arrest.
This move is not surprising.
In any case, Heulia was once the demon god who sat on the throne. Who knows if she will leave behind some means of survival.
As for Ninglan and the officials from the Eight Sects who assisted in organizing the meat sacrifice ceremony, Qixing had already drafted the charges and punishments. However, because the case involved too many areas, it was not suitable to conduct a public trial for the time being. Moreover, due to many considerations, Ningguang also deliberately took the opportunity to
Before the ceremony of sending immortals, Zhongli's attitude was tested.
But if Zhongli didn't want to say it, how could Ningguang find out the emperor's tone? The two of them were chatting here and there, but Ningguang couldn't judge the other's attitude from Zhongli's coherent analysis.
The test was fruitless, so Ningguang had to do the next best thing and informed Zhongli of Qixing's verdict and Heulia's resettlement measures. There was a hint of consultation in his words. However, Zhongli became a good gentleman at this time, regardless of Ningguang.
He just nodded and said yes.
Zhongli then outlined the possible impacts of several countermeasures for her, but he did not express his own opinions. He even included a few witticisms in the analysis, which made Ningguang feel a little dazed and began to doubt.
Is Mr. Zhongli really the mortal body of an emperor?
When Ningguang first took up her duties as Tianquan Star, the emperor was full of divine majesty and coldness in her heart. His orders were always rigorously worded, concise and efficient. He left after asking the immortal to issue the oracle.
He acted resolutely and showed no mercy. Not to mention ordinary people, even Ning Guang had never seen the emperor show such a gentle smile as Zhongli Keqing.
However, the emperor often showed himself as a dragon, and if a smile appeared on that furry and scaly dragon's face, it would look quite scary.
At that time, the ceremony to send immortals was about to take place, so Ningguang had no choice but to host the ceremony together with Zhongli with many speculations in mind.
And in the ceremony of sending immortals, Ning Guang's eulogy of "Being worthy of the heaven, giving birth to a good seed" is also a part of the test. Hou Zhang's accusation is obviously not wrong, because this "Ode to the Rock" originally
It is the ritual and music that Liyue used to praise the emperor's achievements in ancient times. Although Liyue no longer follows the ancient system, many customs and taboos are still preserved.
And Liyue Qixing is not qualified to enjoy the rituals that can only be used by emperors, let alone the ability to claim to be the emperor for ten thousand years.
But Ning Guang still read out the congratulatory speech in front of Fa Sui. The target of the congratulations was obviously not the Yan King who was the only immortal ancestor Fa Sui left, but himself and the other seven stars as the current ruler of Liyue.
Perhaps in Nata, where strength is respected, there is nothing wrong with giving a speech. But for a country like Liyue, which has a profound cultural heritage and an uninterrupted history, it is as disrespectful as a father's lecture in front of the mourning hall.
.
At the funeral of Emperor Yanwang, the former ruler of Liyue, the current ruler of Liyue stood in front of his body and congratulated himself shamelessly in ancient language. If that large section of ancient Liyue text was translated into Teywat
Mainland lingua franca, what I probably want to express is:
"Emperor, your methods back then were not ruthless enough, and your ambition to protect this corner of the world was not big enough. But don't worry, with my Ningguang here, Liyue will be able to reach heaven and earth, separate humans and gods, and there will no longer be the threat of demons, let alone the need for Immortal family support!"
This remark was shocking. Ningguang believed that if Zhongli was really the earthly body of the Rock King, he would not pretend to be deaf and dumb after hearing these words. He might even directly accuse Ningguang of being disrespectful.
But Zhong Lizhen didn't react at all. He just stood silently in front of the emperor's immortal body and presided over the ceremony.
On the contrary, the few immortals who were hidden in the crowd watching the ceremony were so angry that they were half-dead. Not to mention the cultivation of the immortals, they could not even maintain the fluctuation of their immortal power, causing quite a commotion in the crowd.
Fortunately, the Xian family is not an impatient person, and they still have reason to take over. That is to say, Lord Lishui Dieshan stopped the angry Hou Zhang in time, but he also had a vague feeling of something bad.
Did the emperor raise a careerist?
The immortals who heard this blessing were worried, but the emperor who presided over the ceremony had empty eyes. While shaking the smoky eternal incense burner in his hand, he thought: "Is Yunhan Club open today? The thrush at home. It seems that I haven’t fed it yet…”
