Ji Ping'an certainly knew that during the feudal dynasty, people lacked understanding of the universe and the stars, so they would associate changes in celestial phenomena, even earthquakes and floods, with human actions. This is the so-called "induction between heaven and man" theory.
But this is a fairy world... As the founder of the "Star Official" path, Ji Ping'an believes that no one in the entire continent understands the stars better than him.
According to the timeline, the last time the stars returned to their alignment was four hundred years ago. In the same year, the spiritual power of the Kyushu Continent began to decline and entered a low period.
People are not surprised.
Because the rise and fall of Lingsu is like a tide, it is not static. This has also led to the decrease in the number of newly promoted Shenzang powerhouses in the mainland in the past few hundred years. The major sects have ceased their activities and rarely initiate disputes.
The most recent one was the explosion of natural resources and treasures about seven hundred years ago.
A thousand years ago, powerful people were born in batches among the demon clans in Daxizhou and Donghai. This was the period when they swallowed the essence of the sun and moon and transformed into forms.
Fifteen hundred years ago, the northern barbarians emerged from ignorance.
Nineteen hundred years ago, the originally weak human race became powerful at an eye-popping speed as if by luck. Taoists and Buddhas were all figures of this period.
Further back, there was also the "Great Earthquake" period when the timing was not accurate, and it was normal for mountains and rivers to change their course.
Continuing to trace back, it is the chaotic era of the sun and moon in myths and legends.
And every change corresponds to a "return" of the stars.
"This is definitely not a coincidence." Ji Ping'an said with a solemn expression, "In ancient times, people observed the movement patterns of the stars and predicted bad luck. Maybe it was not stupid."
There seems to be some kind of... truth that he has not yet discovered in this world.
"According to my calculations back then, in the late summer and early autumn of this year, the stars will return to their original positions after four hundred years. What changes will happen then? Is there any truth behind my 'travelling' hidden in it?"
Ji Ping'an wanted to find out.
But the changes in star trajectories were too complicated, and without the help of a supercomputer, he could only use his brain to process huge data.
Back then, he only calculated the approximate time, but was not sure which day it was, so he returned to the library today with the purpose of restarting the unfinished calculations from the past in the next period of time.
Find the precise point in time.
Withdrawing his thoughts from his memories, Ji Ping'an put the file back in his hand, and then walked to the outermost bookshelf, where astrological records of the past ten years were placed.
It was something he had never seen before.
Without wasting time, he took out a file and sat at the table, flipping through it very quickly. He only glanced at almost every page. The power of "Taiyin" gave him a strong memory.
The night was quiet, and for a while the only sound in the silent pavilion was the sound of turning pages.
Just when Ji Ping'an was opening another file, he suddenly paused and saw a folded piece of paper sandwiched between the papers, which seemed to be used as a bookmark.
Who left it?
Ji Pingan unfolded it curiously, and was surprised to find that there was a question about astrology on the paper. This question was not difficult, but the angle was very interesting.
The person who left the note seemed to be unable to understand, so he wrote down what was bothering him.
…
…
"Jian Sichen, where are you going?"
Qin Tian Prison, at a street corner, the patrol team carrying lanterns stopped and saluted the young man walking towards them.
There was respect on his face.
Jian Zhuang, who was wearing a green robe and looked slightly thin, smiled gently and said: "Go to the library and review your homework."
A Dianzhong admired: "He is worthy of being a genius ranked among the top ten in the Heavenly Ranking. He works so hard."
The Tianbang is the list that the supervisors evaluate every month, and the list for the ordinary supervisors is the "Dibang".
As an "old student", Jian Zhuang has already entered the realm of breaking nine and has excellent grades. He is a prominent figure in the younger generation of Qin Tian Prison, and his status is the same as that of ordinary Si Li.
The reason why he is still "Si Chen" is because if he becomes Si Li, he will have to spend a lot of time dealing with official duties, which will affect his practice.
Jian Zhuang smiled, said goodbye to the group, and walked slowly to the bottom of the library. After showing his warrant, he was able to step onto the stairs and walk towards the top floor.
The power of the "Xingguan" system comes from the stars, so if you want to improve your cultivation, in addition to hard training, the deeper you understand the astrology, the stronger the resonance with Qiyao will be.
Therefore, although I am a practitioner, my daily astronomy coursework has not fallen behind, and it is even more important.
We can make a crude conclusion:
A powerful star officer is definitely equally good in astronomy and astrology knowledge.
But a star officer with good knowledge may not have the corresponding cultivation level.
Jian Zhuang has been very distressed recently because his master assigned him a very difficult and profound question. He meditated hard for a long time without a breakthrough. Apart from eating, sleeping, and daily practice, he spent all his free time in the library.
Try to solve the problem by reading information books and combining it with real astrological records.
"This is not a problem that I can solve at my level." Jian Zhuang thought dejectedly, feeling distressed and deeply aware that the knowledge of astrology was profound and mysterious.
I only had a first glimpse of the path, and I found it difficult. How wise should the national master who single-handedly created the path to star official be?
Shaking his head, Jian Zhuang carried the lantern to the sixth floor, took a deep breath to calm down, and opened the door.
It was quiet in the pavilion, no one else was there.
Jianzhuang was not surprised. Not many people had the authority to enter this floor, let alone at night.
He put down the lantern, walked to a familiar seat as usual, took out the file he had not read last time from the vast bookshelf, and followed the "bookmark" left behind to flip to the corresponding location.
The note also had his own question written on it - this was his personal habit.
In order to get into the state quickly and avoid forgetting, every time he finished studying, he would write down the most distressing issues on paper and put them in a book.
This way you can take a quick look at it next time and continue thinking.
This time was no exception. Jian Zhuang unfolded the note out of habit and his eyes fell on the words he had written. Then he was stunned for a moment and found that there were a few lines of unfamiliar handwriting in the blank spaces of the note.
Who left it? Has anyone also reviewed this file?
Jian Zhuang was slightly surprised and started reading with curiosity. Then his hands froze, his pupils suddenly tightened, and his whole person felt like he was being slapped.
This young genius, who is ranked among the top ten in the Heavenly Ranking, felt like thunder was exploding in his mind. He stared at those lines of text and began to mutter to himself in a daze:
"It turns out that's how it is...it's actually like this..."
He stood up, paced repeatedly with the note in hand, and then rushed to the side like crazy to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone. While muttering something, he wrote, drew, and made calculations, not caring if the ink stained his sleeves.
After a long time, when he filled up the white paper, he fell into the chair as if all his strength had been drained, and laughed wildly:
"Hahaha, it's solved. It turns out it's so simple..."
The problem that had troubled him for more than a month was solved by a few words on the note, which made him enlightened.
