Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 971: The general zodiac star map during the Yongzheng period?

Dozens of young disciples of the Demon Sect looked at each other in bewilderment as they watched Saint Lady Lingyin skillfully manipulate the sundial and corona instrument on the observatory.

Their demonic sect is actually a whole, and the techniques they practice are similar. I have never heard that the Goddess Palace is proficient in star arts.

At this moment, the proficiency of Saint Lingyin in the sundial and corona instrument made these people wonder whether Saint Lingyin was hiding something from them.

But now the arrow is on the string, even if everyone has some doubts about the Holy Lady Lingyin, no one speaks out at this moment.

Lingyin was obviously the only one among this group who knew how to use the gnomon to repair the jade sundial crown.

Just like last time, she slowly turned the ball so that the starlight passing through the corona needle was aimed at the Pojun star in the Big Dipper.

After repeated adjustments, she carefully placed the pieced-together jade sundial crown on the jade plate. Her movements and methods were almost exactly the same as the first time he and Lu Hanya came here.

The moment the broken jade sundial was placed on the sundial jade plate, a faint soft white light was released from the sundial jade plate.

Under this force, the broken jade sundial crown slowly floated up.

The next moment, three fan-shaped beams of light shot out from the jade surfaces of the three shattered jade sundials.

In the night sky, three constellations suddenly appeared without any warning.

These three star maps are so big that they almost cover the entire capital city.

It was not yet midnight, and there were still many people on the streets of the capital.

Many people soon discovered that there was something wrong with the starry sky above their heads.

There seemed to be many more stars than usual.

These stars appear lower and brighter.

These mortals had no idea that the extra stars were fake. They were reflected by the three broken jade sundials and projected onto the night sky.

At this moment, many people were looking up at the three star maps.

Mortals don’t understand, but monks can see it clearly.

Fu Jinghong held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the three star patterns in the night sky that shouldn't have existed.

He murmured, "The laws of the stars are truly mysterious. What a pity, they have been lost in the human world for so long."

According to historical records, a long time ago in the human world, there was a very important branch of Taoism, which was stargazing.

It is not just about watching the changes in the stars, but about understanding the true meaning of the universe in the process of stargazing.

This is a very powerful law.

Subsumed within the laws of time and space.

Some people simply call it the Law of the Stars.

It is said that the Law of the Stars is the closest to the origin of the universe among all the laws.

Contains the laws of time and space.

If one reaches the ultimate understanding, one can break the limitations of time and space, travel freely between different worlds, and even go back to the past and travel through the future.

Of course, this is just a rumor. As to whether the Star Law is that powerful, no one knows.

After all, this thing has been lost in the world for too long, not just 30,000 or 50,000 years.

It has been lost for at least tens of thousands of years.

Today's stargazing is just simple stargazing.

It has nothing to do with cultivation.

Astrology was once very popular among humans, but because it was lost for so long, there are only a few tools for stargazing left in the world today.

These three broken jade sundials may be the only evidence that can prove the last glory of human astrology hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Fu Jinghong looked at the Observatory, which stood out like a crane among chickens. He knew that the Demon Cult had already started to take action.

He took out the Spirit Sound Mirror, contacted Feng Biehe, and said, "It's time to act."

Feng Biehe put away the Lingyin Mirror and walked out of a room.

It is not the Changying Silk Shop in the outer city, but in the inner city.

Ye Feng and others were standing on the street of Yiningfang at this moment, and they were also looking up at the star map in the sky.

Ye Feng didn't know much about star maps and couldn't figure out what was going on. He could only see that the three extra stars in the night sky were projected from the observatory, just like a projector.

Since Zhang Qingyun said that repairing the jade sundial is a long process, Ye Feng is not in a hurry.

He wanted to wait until Fu Jinghong was done before going to the Observatory to see what was going on.

Ye Feng said: "Ancestor, what do these three star maps mean?"

Dugu Chan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know much about astrology, Qingyun, you should know about it, right?"

Zhang Qingyun's eyes flickered as he said, "This is the zodiac star map. There are a total of 1,857 stars."

"Wait, the Zodiac Star Atlas? Why does that name sound so familiar? Was it drawn by that foreigner? It's the only ancient star atlas on copperplate that survives in China?"

"Eh? You know?"

“Um, I saw it on TikTok… ahem.”

Ye Feng coughed lightly a few times, then his eyes widened and he said, "But this is impossible. As far as I know, the Zodiac Star Map was drawn by a foreign missionary during the Yongzheng period. How could it appear here?"

Zhang Qingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Li Ruoxi and I also want to unlock this secret. Unfortunately, this thing has existed in this world for too long. The Jade Sundial Crown has existed in this world for at least hundreds of thousands of years. It's impossible to verify it. Maybe... maybe it's just a coincidence."

"Even the number of stars matches, and you say it's a coincidence? Do you believe it yourself?"

Zhang Qingyun blinked and said, "If it's not a coincidence, what could it be?"

Ye Feng choked slightly.

Yes, if it's not a coincidence, then the problem is serious.

This means that at some time after the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, a guy came to this world from his hometown, Earth, with a map of the zodiac.

Then the zodiac star map was sealed into the jade sundial through secret methods.

Ye Feng said: "I heard that there is a huge secret hidden in this jade sundial. Senior Qingyun, could this huge secret be..."

He said no more.

Zhang Qingyun shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"Since this thing might be related to that world, how could you and Li Ruoxi be interested in it?"

Zhang Qingyun said, "Of course we are interested. I have always kept track of the whereabouts of this thing, and I believe Li Ruoxi is also paying attention. I even found out that this thing fell into Li Ruoxi's hands for a period of time.

But soon Li Ruoxi returned the jade sundial to the royal family.

Astrology is too mysterious. She probably can only recognize that what is sealed in this thing is the zodiac star map, but she can't see through the secret inside. That's why she wants to use the power of the court's astrologers to crack it and return it to the court.

However, not long after he returned, the Demon Cult learned about the Jade Dial from somewhere, and an old woman from the Goddess Palace sneaked into the palace and stole the Jade Dial.

Unfortunately, she was discovered by a Confucian master and only stole the Jade Sundial, not the Jade Crown Needle. Furthermore, during the fight, she also damaged the Sundial.
