Astrologers observe the changes in the positions of stars and determine the fate of people and events. The world also calls it astrology.
Taoism studies the nature of heaven and man, and astrology is one of its techniques, which has been secretly passed down for thousands of years.
Astrology believes that the flourishing of living beings is like the twinkling stars, and the vast sea of people is like the vastness of the stars; living beings are the foundation, Heavenly Father is the mirror, and the stars are the signs. The destiny of all things in the world is shown in the sky.
There are only hundreds of millions of people in the world, and there are billions of stars in the sky.
No matter how accurate the measurement is, it is impossible to calculate the number of living things in the world.
No matter how precise the calculation is, one cannot count the number of stars in the sky.
All the stars are hanging in the sky, but you can't find your own star, let alone observe the situation and predict your destiny?
However, all living beings are divided into ordinary people and extraordinary people, and billions of stars are also divided into dim stars and shining stars. Among them, the emperor is the dragon among men, and Ziwei is the lord of stars.
Therefore, in astrology, the purple star is the emperor star, and the purple wall represents the imperial palace.
It's late at night, the palace's leaking room has just reported time, and the third quarter of the night has arrived. It's already the fifth day of the lunar month.
The moon phase on the fourth day of the lunar month is called the Emei New Moon, and the fifth day of the lunar month is the Emei Moon. However, at the intersection of these two days, there were only stars in the starry sky but no crescent moon.
Zhan Wei left the alchemy room and walked straight to the star observatory with the astrolabe in hand.
Hu Xiu'an sealed the palace gate, not wanting people inside to come out, but he didn't dare to restrict people from outside the palace, so all the palace empresses and supervisors could move around without any hindrance. Zhan Wei was a guest of the royal family and had a very high status. Although the patrol saw him leaving the alchemy room, they did not step forward to stop him.
Although the stars are bright, there are dark clouds covering them. In the direction of Ziweiyuan, a group of black clouds was always gathering, blocking the Ziwei Emperor Star, which was originally the most dazzling star among the stars.
If the star shines brightly, the power will be strong; if the star is dim, the power will be weak. If the purple star is covered by dark clouds, it is a very bad omen.
... ...
Emperor Yonghua was seriously ill, and the medical doctors took turns taking care of him twelve hours a day. It was late at night, and the two old doctors on duty had dozed off.
"Lu Hua... Lu Hua... Why don't you get up?" A strange voice suddenly came from outside the dormitory, like an old man calling.
Emperor Yonghua, who was originally sleeping, shook his head and managed to prop up his body. As soon as I left the bed, I found that no part of my body felt uncomfortable. I felt extremely healthy, as if I had taken Yang Sheng liquid.
"Lu Hua... Lu Hua... Why don't you get up?" The old man came closer and called softly.
The call was old and erratic, and Emperor Yonghua couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He raised his head and asked, "Who is calling outside?"
"I'm Xia Ruren!" The old man who was sleeping outside the house replied coldly.
The sound passed through the window paper and reached Emperor Yonghua's ears in waves, making him immediately alert and hurriedly walked out. Sure enough, there stood an old man in plain clothes with disheveled hair in the hall, with a dignified face.
Although he was a stranger to Emperor Yonghua, he did not doubt his presence. He quickly knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Ancestor, come again, descendants Luhua pays homage!"
Xia Ruren stroked his beard and replied: "Yes. I have cultivated Taoism and become an immortal. At this moment, there is a place eight thousand miles away from the East China Sea. I call it Penglai Immortal Island. You, your ordinary heart has gone and your destiny has arrived. Please follow me. Have you practiced on the Immortal Island for hundreds of years?"
What Emperor Yonghua wanted in his life was to escape the sufferings of the world, give up his mortal body, and find a way to live forever. When he learned that his ancestor had attained enlightenment and became an immortal, he was so shocked that he almost left his body. Hearing that he was willing to take me to the fairy island to practice Taoism, I was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to the ground, "My descendants are willing! My descendants are willing!"
"Come! Come to me!" Xia Ruren waved gently and said to Emperor Yonghua, "Come to me, and I will take you to Penglai Immortal Island in the clouds and mist."
At this time, Emperor Yonghua discovered that his ancestor's body was just a few inches off the ground, standing in the air. He couldn't help feeling envious and eager, and hurriedly stood up and walked to his side.
"Well... let's go... let's go..." Xia Ruren said softly.
"Are you leaving now?"
Emperor Yonghua suddenly remembered that he had been sleeping for a long time, and now he suddenly left. There was no one in charge of such a large country, and he felt a little uneasy. He said to Xia Ruren: "Ancestor, my descendants have just woken up after sleeping for a long time. Other things can be done." Don’t worry about it for now, it’s just that the succession is a very important matter, can you please wait for a moment and allow me to establish the imperial decree of Taoism and Zen?”
Unexpectedly, Xia Ruren's face suddenly changed, and he snorted coldly: "Your ordinary heart is gone, don't worry about these things behind you anymore, just follow me to practice Taoism..."
After saying this, he waved his sleeves and a colorful cloud suddenly floated up, waiting for the two of them to fly up.
Since his ancestor did not agree to his wish to establish a Zen position, Emperor Yonghua had no choice but to calm down and stand by his side honestly.
"It was still night just now, how come it's dawn all of a sudden?"
"These colorful clouds are so soft, how come I don't fall when I stand on them? I guess it was my ancestors who used the ability to reach the sky."
"Everyone in the world says 'it's cold at high places'. I'm at least thousands of feet above the ground now, but I don't feel cold at all. It seems that the saying is not true."
The colorful clouds flew over high mountains, crossed rivers and lakes, and finally reached the sea. Looking around, I can't see the blue edge.
I don’t know how long I flew, but finally a slowly rotating floating mountain appeared in front of my eyes.
Xia Ruren pointed to the floating mountain and said to Emperor Yonghua: "This is my dojo - Penglai Immortal Island."
As he spoke, Caiyun had arrived on the island, and the two of them landed firmly on the ground.
"Follow me..." Xia Ruren walked in front and whispered softly.
When Emperor Yonghua first arrived, he followed closely behind him. Along the way, he was surrounded by mist and the fragrance of flowers. It was indeed a blessed land of immortals.
"We're here... we're here." After walking for an unknown distance, Xia Ruren stopped in front of a pavilion called "Jing Hua Shui Yue". Emperor Yong Hua stood three feet away from him.
While Emperor Yonghua was puzzled, Xia Ruren ordered in a cold voice: "Lu Hua, please read the couplet on the stone pillar."
"couplet?"
Just now from a distance, he deliberately took a few glances at the pavilion, not noticing that there were words on the eaves and stone pillars. However, since his ancestors had given the order, he had no choice but to raise his head and look. This sight really startled him. I saw large red characters engraved on the two pillars on the left and right.
On the left is: In the three lifetimes of the underworld, it is up to you to harm the heavens and cause harm.
On the right is: In the underworld, who has been spared throughout the ages.
The eaves are: You are here.
"This... this is clearly the couplet at the entrance to the Yincao place!" Emperor Yonghua thought with fear. Seeing Xia Ruren looking at him coldly, he asked sincerely: "Ancestor, the pavilion on the fairy island How could there be such a couplet on the stage? Isn’t that the door couplet of the underworld?”
Xia Ruren sneered twice, narrowed his eyes and shouted: "Look, who am I? Where is this place?"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Ruren had turned into the black-faced King of Hell, and the fairy island instantly turned into a hell of ghosts.
"Ah~~~" Emperor Yonghua suddenly shouted while lying on the bed. The two old men and six young and old eunuchs standing in front of the bed were all startled and hurriedly gathered around.
The two imperial doctors took a closer look and realized something was wrong. They quickly felt the pulse on his neck, and then took the goose down to probe his nose...
The two looked at each other and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
