MTL - Warm Fuzzies-Chapter 143
The shape and size of that thing are very similar to the hexagram plate, but it is not the same when you look closely.
There are complex directions marked on the hexagram plate, but there are no Liangyi, Bagua, heavenly stems and earthly branches. Instead, there are dots of light flickering in the middle, and dots of silver light are connected into various lines, which seem to be able to merge into graphics.
After Sydney went to Jiuchongtian, at least he lived with the wolf king and wolf queen for half a year. He also learned fairy language and learned a lot about the palm star beast. After a while, he recognized it.
What is on this plate is not Feng Shui hexagrams, but three walls, four images and twenty-eight constellations.
The four gods of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu are each in the four directions, and the twenty-eight constellations are displayed in the four images, converging into twinkling stars.
This is not a hexagram disk at all, but an astrolabe disk!
But the appearance of this astrolabe is much more complicated than the other astrolabes that Sydney saw in the Wolfland, so I didn't recognize it at first glance, and the stars on it seemed to be incomplete.
After a rough scan of Sydney, there are probably five or six stars missing. All the stars on this astrolabe will shine, so there are a few empty places that are particularly obvious.
Sydney took a quick look. Xinsu, the fox clan represented by herself, was not marked on the astrolabe, and it was dim, while Kui Su, the wolf clan represented by Zilan, was also dim, with no signs of brightening.
Sydney found an astrolabe in this kind of place, and this astrolabe can talk, how could he not be shocked?
Xueli had never seen anything that could speak in Jiuzhongtian, so she pulled out the astrolabe and asked, "Did you call me just now?"
The light on the astrolabe flickered a few times, as if in response.
It said, "It's me."
The voice of the astrolabe was very soft, and it said: "I have been with the moon **** Zuixin for a thousand years, are you also a star-handling beast captured by him? If you need help , as long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you."
Sydney has no idea of escaping here yet, so she wants to get as much information as possible about Luna.
Xue Li asked miraculously, "Are you also captured by Luna?"
The astrolabe flickered and said: "No, no, I have been in this place since the beginning of self-consciousness... This place was originally just a small secluded place, but before arresting you, Zuixin purposely expanded it and created such a phantom."
Astrolabe said: "Before arresting you, Zuixin has observed you for a long time, at least two or three months, and he knows almost everything about you. You may already know that Zuixin's thousand For years, I have been catching star beasts."
Xueli was shocked when she heard that, this is what Jiu Zhongtian has been trying to figure out, she asked urgently: "Where are the star-handed beasts that he captured now? Are they still there?"
The astrolabe dimmed for a moment, and replied: "They are all dead."
"...!"
Sydney's heart felt cold.
The astrolabe explained: "Zui Xin has a purpose in catching the star beast. He wants to make a complete soul astrolabe. The soul of the star beast has the ability to move the stars and control the stars. After Zuixin catches the star beast , will capture their souls, and then imprison their souls in my body. The souls of the beasts can light up the patterns of the stars. Zuixin has not gathered their souls yet, and the nine-tailed fox clan is the most difficult, because the nine-tailed fox clan They hid them thousands of years ago, and even Zuixin couldn't find them, and now they finally meet you, Zuixin won't let you go."
Xue Li trembled inside when she heard it, but she still tried her best not to show her timidity.
According to the astrolabe, Luna should not know that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has been found in the mortal world.
Xueli couldn't help but feel thankful. In fact, there are good points in this way. Even if she can't escape, at least the Moon God has caught her, and the other nine-tailed fox clan will be fine.
Although Xueli actually wanted to see her parents, she might never see her again, and neither would her aunt and Zilan.
Sydney asked: "After he captures the beast, how long does it take to do it? Is there some kind of ceremony to be held... How much time do I have?"
Speaking of this, the astrolabe paused strangely, and it said: "Usually, you will do it right away, but this time, for some reason, he seems to be very tolerant to you. And after he came back this time, he also If you don't pay attention to me, just throw me aside at random, so that I can have a chance to talk to you."
Sydney: "When did you first have a memory? Why can you talk? Since you are an artifact made by the Moon God, why don't you help the Moon God, but are willing to help me?"
Xingpan was taken aback.
Xingpan replied: "I don't know too well... After Zuixin imprisoned the soul in my body for the first time, I became conscious. Later, the more the soul came in, the clearer my thinking became. But I don't know Who am I, Zuixin didn’t seem to expect that I would become able to speak, he was surprised when he saw me for the first time, and usually ignores me or doesn’t care.”
The stars on the astrolabe flickered irregularly, as if they were really uncertain.
Sydney was also surprised to hear its explanation.
She thought for a while and said, "In this case, if I can leave, I must find a way to take you out with me."
Xingpan asked: "Do you have a way to escape?"
Sydney replied: "I'm still thinking about it. Someone should come to rescue me. I need to find a way out as much as possible, or delay the time. It's good to be able to figure out other things related to Luna..."
She thought for a moment.
Xueli asked again: "But what is the moon **** going to do by capturing all the twenty-eight clans of star-handling beasts and making them into an astrolabe?"
Xingpan replied: "This is a long story. You should know that the twenty-eight races of the gods and beasts in charge of the stars are in charge of the rotation of the stars, the rotation of the stars, and the change of the seasons and the change of time. What Zuxin wants is this ability, so I plan to Reshape the starry sky."
It paused.
"so-"
Astrolabe said.
"—He wants the stars to go retrograde, turn back time, and let everything in the world return to ancient times."
…
At this time, the Moon God was sitting alone outside the Immortal Palace.
He raised his eyes silently, looking at the bright and clear moon that was half the size of the sky, and the cold moon palace, holding the jade flute in his hand.
These are all scenes he is familiar with, but no matter how beautiful and real they are, they are just illusions created by his spells, not the real past.
His Xia'er had already left, even if he looked at the silhouette reflected on the illusion window thousands of times, she would never come out of the room and smile at him again.
His Yuezhu has also gone, he is not a good father, neither did he protect Yuezhu's favorite mother, nor did he protect Zhu'er who trusted him the most.
On the day when Yuezhu fell into the ice spring, until late at night, she still waited for him in front of the Moon Palace gate, expecting her father to return.
Until she died on the sickbed, she still held his sleeve tightly with her small hands, afraid that he would leave as usual.
Shen Xia was burnt to death in the demon fire, her mind and soul were all extinguished, the moon bead was left to him by her, and it was the last thing with her shadow.
For thousands of years, he has traveled all over the heavens and the mortal world, trying to search for their souls and find a way to bring them back, even if it is an evil method, it will make him forever.
Shen Xia's soul has been burned by the demon fire, and the hope of resurrecting her is very slim, but he wants to at least find the moon bead.
But no.
He searched thousands of rivers and mountains, but he couldn't think of a way.
After that, he thought of Star Hand Divine Beast and Reversal of Time and Space.
He was born as a moon god, and he already had this level of cultivation. As long as he gains the ability to control the stars, it is possible to do it.
It's just that the heavens are perpetual, and everything in the world has its own laws. If he acts like this, it is tantamount to violating the way of heaven, and it is like turning himself into the ruler of the way of heaven.
Having reached this point, Zuixin didn't even think about it.
Once he started doing it, it was easier than he imagined.
Thinking of reversing time and space, all mortal spirits, gods, and any plants and trees can be regarded as emotionless sand, gravel and mud by him. They are like bloodless dust and mud in the old world, and they can be chosen by others. Choose from.
Anyway, once we return to ancient times, everything will return to its original position, everything will cease to exist, love, love and hatred will all disappear, and everything in the world will start from scratch.
Until ten thousand years later, the same life may be born again, or maybe not, everything will be arranged again.
But the tune "Looking for the Moon" hummed by the little white fox by the lotus pond disturbed his mind and disrupted his original plan.
Why can she sing the tunes of Shen Xia and Yuezhu?
Could it be that Shen Xia or Yuezhu are still in this world?
Thinking of this possibility, Moon God could hardly restrain himself from trembling, the memory of Shen Xia and Yue Zhu aroused his "heart" that had long been lost in the years of being alone.
Zuixin couldn't figure it out for a while, and pushed the long jade flute to his lips.
Soon, melodious tunes sounded in the illusory Asgard.
…
At the same time, with the help of Changyun's fairy art, Zilan and Changyun had already found the deep valley where the Moon God lived.
Zi Lan ran so far with his injuries, he had almost tried his best, but he hadn't seen Xue Li yet, and he couldn't stop, his eyes looked very scary.
Chang Yun felt the gloom in the air, raised his hand to touch the dark mist in the valley, and said, "I've never seen a place so gloomy. Luna... how did it become like this?"
He looked back and saw Zilan's ferocious expression, thinking that he was in unbearable pain, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Look at the sign of the breath here... The moon **** must be nearby, not too far away. You have already suffered You have suffered such a serious injury, why don’t you just rest here first? I’ll send a letter to Xuanwu Shenjun, and when they come over, they will definitely bring medical immortals to heal your injuries, or Fairy Shaoyin will come soon if she wants to.”
Zilan gritted her teeth and said, "I have to go in, I have to save Sydney."
Seeing Zilan's tired but determined expression, Changyun couldn't help admiring him.
The reason why he chased after Xue Li so much at any cost was because Xue Li was the beloved daughter of him and Xue Xin. It is really admirable to be able to work hard to this point.
Chang Yun persuaded: "But your injury is too serious..."
Zilan said firmly, "I want to go in!"
Seeing that Zilan has such courage, and that he can transform into the real body of a divine beast, even if he is seriously injured, Changyun can't be said to be a burden. Now time is running out, so he doesn't try to persuade him, so he said: "That's good. But I may not be able to take care of it later You, pay attention to your own safety, I will find the position of Luna first."
As he said that, Changyun Shenjun quickly made a formula to send a message to Xuanwu Shenjun and others, then closed his eyes and urged the immortal power to look for the movement around him.
Luna is very confident, he didn't even cover up his hiding place, Changyun just probed, and felt an unusual entrance to a fairyland.
He opened his eyes and said, "I found it!"
