Taoist Master Ma was dressed in Taoist uniform and stood in front of the dojo with a wooden sword in his hand, closing his eyes and meditating.
Li Xiangyang also had a serious expression and did not dare to say a word.
The third update is here.
Ma Dao's long pen was dipped in cinnabar, and the quick writing on the yellow paper of the Bagua tray turned out to be a yellow talisman with a strange pattern in an instant.
Then he spoke plausibly, inserted the yellow talisman into the wooden sword, and lit it on the candlestick.
At first glance, this posture does not look like astrology, but like catching a monster.
The yellow talisman was burned in the fire, and the ashes fell on the Bagua plate.
Taoist Master Ma's eyes stayed on the ashes of the Bagua Pan, as if he was paying attention to the movement of these ashes with the night wind.
A moment later, he bit his finger again and squeezed a drop of his blood into the Bagua disk. He stopped looking at the Bagua disk and instead looked at the stars in the sky.
At this time, it was much simpler for Xia and Shang.
The silver needle is placed in the grindstone, and the magnet presses one end of the silver needle.
The six coins were arranged in the six directions of the millstone, but they were not arranged in a regular manner. Xia Shang looked up at the sky and didn't know what stars he was facing. After a lot of subtle adjustments, he stopped.
"Master, what are you doing?" Xiaoyue asked again.
Xia Shang was still looking at the sky, repeatedly comparing the positions of the six coins. After confirming that the positions were correct, he stepped aside and said, "Just wait. Let's see what direction the silver needle is pointing in later."
"Master, are you going to do something bad again?"
"What kind of evil is this?"
"Isn't the young master just using his ability to predict the future? Every time the young master does this, someone will always be unlucky. I don't know who will be unlucky this time."
"Hahaha, you girl..."
Xia Shang smiled, rubbed Xiaoyue's head, and pulled her back to the corner of the attic to sit down. He hugged Xiaonizi's waist generously, feeling very comfortable.
Time passes minute by minute, overhead
The stars are changing quietly as time changes.
No one knows what clues those experts in astrology can discern from these subtle changes, but there are always legends about so-called masters in the world.
Inside the Prince's Mansion, Taoist Master Ma was already sweating profusely.
Li Xiangyang saw clearly from the side that Taoist Master Ma did not make any violent movements from beginning to end, but he consumed a lot of energy after doing this?
From this point of view, the so-called astrology is at least not a scam.
Taoist Master Ma squeezed a little more blood onto the Bagua plate.
At this time, the Bagua Pan had already been stained red by Taoist Master Ma's blood.
The blood seemed to have life. Unknowingly, it had spread along the lines of the Bagua disk, and a complex Bagua diagram was about to be formed.
At this time, Taoist Master Ma finally put down his wooden sword, took two steps back, and struggled to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Li Xiangyang looked surprised and hurriedly asked: "Master Ma, what's going on now? Why is the horoscope this time so much more complicated than in the past, and looking at your state, Master Ma... it seems that you are spending a lot of money."
Taoist Master Ma waved his hands and tried hard to maintain his fairy-like appearance. Unfortunately, it was too much and the previous cheerful posture was really difficult to control. He sighed: "Hey! The prince doesn't know something.
Astrology has taken many years of experience and is really a bit tricky."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "That's really a great Taoist priest."
"I made a mistake last time when calculating the Heavenly Book for His Highness. This time I must not make any mistakes. After that time, I thought a lot and finally figured out the key. This Heavenly Book is a divine object of heaven and earth. I want to find it.
The Book of Heaven is tantamount to peeking into the secrets of heaven. It is disrespectful to seek things from heaven, and ordinary calculation methods cannot be accurate at all. Therefore, today the old Taoist sacrifices his own essence and blood to heaven, begging God to open his eyes and allow us mortals to have a glimpse of the secrets of heaven."
"It turns out that the Taoist priest paid the price with his own life. It's really..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the poor Taoist has his own sense of propriety. Now that the formalities have been completed, all that's left is to wait and see how the stars change and what guidance God has."
Taoist priest Ma spoke confidently. At this time, he had regained some of his energy and became more confident in his speech.
Now that the Prince's Mansion is waiting, Xia Shangna is also waiting.
At first, everyone was patient, but as time went by, the changes in the stars became more and more obvious.
, Xia Shang and Ma Daozhang both became a little confused.
Xia Shang had already stopped flirting with the pretty maid next to him. Instead, he stayed by the simple astrolabe he had set up, looking at the sky and the needle. The doubts on his face were getting heavier and heavier.
"Master, is there anything wrong?"
"It shouldn't be!" Xia Shang muttered in a low voice, "It's been so long, why doesn't the pointer stop? Not only does it not match the star performance recorded in the book, but it can't even be explained by the basic laws of physics. Why does it keep spinning?
Can’t stop?”
At this moment, the silver needle on the millstone is moving at a weak speed.
The pointer speeds up and down, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, with no sign of stopping at all.
I can't even stop the most basic pointer, and I don't know where the astrolabe is pointing.
How does this deduce more content that follows?
Things were a bit strange, and Xia Shang even wondered if there was something wrong with his memory from his previous life.
But he had been very interested in Qi Men's art before and was very impressed, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Similarly, over at the Prince's Mansion, Taoist Master Ma could not sit still.
Standing on the terrace, looking at the sky, and then looking at the Bagua plate in front of me, my expression became more and more confused.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiangyang asked.
"This..." Taoist Master Ma was hesitant when he spoke. He didn't know how to explain it. He scratched his head and looked at the night sky again.
When Taoist Master Ma turned his attention to his Bagua plate again, he didn't expect an explosion sound to be heard in front of him.
A candle on the stand suddenly flickered, made a slight explosion, and then the candlestick fell over.
For a moment, the table was on fire, not to mention the Bagua plate, and even the sacrifices on the table were not spared.
"No, no! This is...this is..."
"What is this? Why don't you put out the fire quickly!" Li Xiangyang said angrily from the side.
Taoist Master Ma quickly took off his Taoist robe and rushed to put out the fire.
The whole attic was in chaos.
"Master, that's the direction of the Prince's Mansion. It seems like there's a fire."
Xia Shang also noticed the direction of the attic of the Prince's Mansion, looked at it, and said calmly: "It's none of our business."
Having said that, he looked at the astrolabe that had not stopped yet, suddenly thought of something, and quickly held down the silver needle with one hand and took it out.
