Chapter 2 Stargazing

The night is quiet, and the moon is in the sky. The moon is like water, shining the sky and the earth is covered with silver.

Above the tall building, a middle-aged man was looking up at the vast night sky with his hands on his back and pondering without saying a word. The middle-aged man's temples were slightly white and his eyes were wrinkled. The middle-aged man's face was strong but not majestic, but with a hint of elegance, as if he had been a great scholar for many years.

His hair was neatly combed, and he was tied with a purple gold star crown. He was wearing a purple gold brocade robe with many star patterns on it. It didn't look mysterious but was very solemn.

The middle-aged man stared at the night sky with his eyes tightly. In this world where the power of stars laid the foundation for his practice, even that cold moon could not hide the light of countless stars in the sky.

"Dang thud..." The sound of footsteps sounded, awakening the middle-aged man who was originally stunning. The middle-aged man turned around and saw a beautiful woman in a blue palace outfit walking up the stairs with a tray.

The middle-aged man's expression was slightly slower, and he went up to him and said in a warm voice: "Madam, why don't you rest so late? Don't be cold after this cold wind is catching the cold night."

The beautiful woman in a blue palace outfit shook her head, and the steps on her head swayed in the moonlight and shone with a ray of light.

The beautiful woman also had a hint of gentleness on her face, and her lotus steps moved lightly. When the middle-aged man approached, she said, "I saw that you hadn't slept so late, so I made soup. After all, I have the status of a lady of the imperial decree. My strength is not worse than that of an ordinary swordsman. How can the cold wind be in hind? But you must be careful when watching astrological signs every day."

The middle-aged man put the tray on the table beside him, opened the pottery jar on the tray, sniffed it, and smiled. Hearing his wife's words, he immediately said: "I wish I could be hurt by the backlash of stars."

Seeing the beautiful woman in the blue palace dress with a look of grumbling expression, the middle-aged man quickly explained: "Madam, you know that I have obtained the position of Taishi Ling, and with the help of the person, I will be responsible. This stargazing is my duty, but unfortunately the current situation is turbulent, and this job is not easy to handle."

"Now those people are sent to block the door every day. I can't afford to offend such people. It's better to drag this matter over after being sick."

A beautiful woman in a blue palace dress talked for a moment. The Grand Historian was an official position established by the court, and she also had the same position. The Grand Historian was in charge of drafting documents, recording historical events, compiling historical books, and also in charge of national classics and astronomical calendars. The main positions were two, drafting documents and astronomical calendars.

In Yan State, both positions have great authority. For example, the astronomical calendar mainly focuses on watching the qi and star-watching. In this country of qi cultivation, being able to watch the qi and star-watching the general trend is highly valued.

With the blessing of the Taishi Ling, his strength is equivalent to that of the Sword Saint, and he has a pair of eyes from the sky, which can see through the false illusions and see through the wonders of the luck of the stars.

Now that Emperor Yan of Yan has passed away, his throne is empty. Many forces with the ability to fight are fighting openly and secretly, and there are many separatist sides. Everyone wants to seize one of the three ranks. When the heroes fight together, the secrets of heaven are in chaos and difficult to guess. If they can get the help of the Grand Historian, they will undoubtedly have the advantage in the general trend.

Therefore, there are endless people from all walks of life in front of the Taishi Ling's sect, hoping to bring the Taishi Ling to his own camp.

"If the game is in chaos today, there are only a few people in the world who can defeat it. You are the Grand Historian, and they are the best among them. They naturally come to the door. Now everyone is still accumulating strength, and it is okay to delay it for a while. If someone takes the lead in savings and completing the battle, we may not be able to shake it." The beautiful woman in the palace looked at the middle-aged man and frowned.

The middle-aged man nodded, took a sip of soup, and then said, "Madam, you are right. When the battle for the throne begins, we will have to take sides. However, the situation is not clear now, and it is probably too risky to resign to take sides rashly!"

The beautiful woman in the palace dress agreed and said, "This is true. Now all parties are accumulating strength. On the surface, they cannot see who is stronger and who is weak. There is a great risk of investing rashly. By the way, have you not seen any clues when you watch the stars every night?"

The middle-aged man showed a hint of bitterness on his face and said, "The secrets of heaven are chaotic, the future is unpredictable. I have understood it a little, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with the situation."

"Oh? There is such a thing? It's so strange. Logically speaking, this is such a big deal that the heavenly secrets of fighting for the throne must not be avoided. There are also changes that have nothing to do with the battle for the throne?" The beautiful woman in the palace looked surprised when she heard this.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I also find it strange that the Three Saint Pavilion is also a holy land, and the three Holy Land Lords are even more unfathomable. Although they are not as passive as Xiaoxiang Pavilion in this situation, they are not something that ordinary people can provoke, especially in recent years, they have gradually broken free from the brink of great disasters and are no longer on the cusp of the storm."

"But just a few months ago, I saw a dark star breaking into the fortune of the Three Saint Pavilion. After a closer look, I realized that it was an evil star." As he said that, the Grand Historian stretched out his finger and pointed it into the sky.

The beautiful woman in the palace looked along and saw three stars on the side of the starry sky, and there were several stars surrounding them. The only thing that was disharmonious was that a small star with very low brightness suddenly appeared among the three big stars.

The beautiful woman just glanced at the little star and frowned. The little star was like a flaw on a white jade bi, which made people feel involuntarily confused.

Just a glance, the originally clear starry sky blurred again. The beautiful woman in the palace looked at the starry sky again and found that she could not find the three bright stars at all. She knew that her husband had used his magical powers to allow her to see the astrological signs for a while. Now that she has retracted her magical powers, she can no longer see the wonders of the astrological signs.

"This is a bit strange, but since that little star has appeared among the stars of the Three Saint Pavilion, it will naturally cause changes. The Three Saint Pavilion is one of the two holy places, and their changes will more or less affect the current situation." The people of Yan State are well aware of luck, and at this time, the beautiful women naturally have their own judgment when they see the astrological signs.

The middle-aged man nodded, did not refute this, but said, "That's right, but I still can't see what changes will bring."

The beautiful woman in the palace dress frowned and said, "It's really hard to predict. It's too risky to take a rashly side. It seems that she can only wait for the situation to be clearer before making a decision."

After drinking the soup in one breath, packed the clay pot and put it on the tray. The middle-aged man said, "You go back first, I'll watch the astrological signs for a while, and I'll go back later."

The beautiful woman in the palace dress nodded, cared for a few more times, and then went downstairs with a tray.

"Madam" arrived downstairs, and a servant took the tray. The beautiful woman in the palace looked back and saw that the three words Guantian Pavilion were reflected by the moonlight.

Back in the room, the beautiful woman in the palace paced back and forth, finally gritted her teeth, spread out a piece of rice paper, took the pen and dipped it in ink and began to write: A evil star in the Three Saint Pavilion is coming, and she is in the middle of the astrological sign.

After blowing the ink, the beautiful woman in the palace knocked on the table, and a servant came in and took the note and left.

At this moment, the Grand Historian on Guantian Pavilion was still carrying his hands on his back and looking up at the starry sky. The only difference was that there was a strange light flowing in his eyes. At this moment, his eyes seemed to have spanned countless miles, and the millions of stars were fully visible in his eyes.

The dim little star that had originally lived among the three bright stars that had seen before also changed. A rich layer of deep purple and nearly black nebula deeply wrapped the little star, making it extremely terrifying.

The Grand Historian looked a little surprised. The small star was so small that it was obviously not strong in its power, but the surrounding catastrophe was extremely profound. However, there was a hint of smile in an instant.

"The purple-black catastrophe energy is enough to cause the three lords to fall. It's just that it's extremely terrifying. I just don't know who will try it first if the news leaks out!"
