Chapter 491 Chapter Twelve: Azure Dragon and White Tiger

But looking back, I don't know anything. It's an amazing feeling. "According to these stars, you can infer the quality of the day and predict the weather in the future. The generals who fought in ancient times were also used as tactics." Grandpa pointed to the sky.Due to the different perspectives, I don't know exactly which area he was pointing at. "Zhang Heng said in the "Ling Xian": the blue dragon is curled up on the left, the white tiger is fierce on the right, the red bird is flying in front, and the tortoise circle is at the back. Many generals in ancient times paid attention to this when they arranged their troops."

I lay flat on the bamboo bed, looked at the vast starry sky, and asked my grandpa, "I read that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang often watched the stars at night. Is it based on these stars? You said that the formation of troops, listen to it." It makes some sense, the front army is the vanguard, the commander usually sits in the main rear army, and then there are left and right armies to cooperate or something. But watching the stars at night is too amazing." For a while, I temporarily forgot the monkey who drew the ghost book, and the hurdle that my grandpa hit.The night sky on the opposite side is like the sea, it is easy to put your thoughts in, but it is difficult to get them back.

Grandpa also lay down, maybe to let me know where he was pointing.He said: "Look, Jiao is the head of the seven constellations in the east. There are two stars, which symbolize the creation of all things and peace in the world. Kang is the second constellation in the east of Qinglong. There are four stars, which are third-class stars. If it is bright It represents peace and no disease. If it is dark, it symbolizes drought or plague. Di is the third constellation of the seven constellations in the east, and there are four stars, which are the stars of the main disease. There are four stars, which are bright and symbolize the clear policy and the people's well-being. The heart is the fifth mansion of the seven constellations in the east, and there are three stars. The sixth constellation of the seven constellations in the east has nine stars, commonly known as the nine stars of the dragon's tail. If it is bright, it symbolizes a good harvest of grains. If it is dark, there will be a flood. The star, the bucket is in the north, and the skip is in the south, so it is also called Nanji, which is clear and bright, which means good weather and a good harvest.”

Maybe it was a little sore when he raised his hand. Grandpa stretched it twice before continuing: "Dou is the head of the seven constellations of Xuanwu in the north. There are six stars. It is also called the Big Dipper. If it is bright, it means peace in the world, and the country is rich and the people are safe. Niu is The second constellation of the northern seven constellations has six stars, also known as the Altair or Altair, which is more familiar, haha, the Cowherd of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

Seeing danger makes you uneasy, and dimness means The Lord has a catastrophe. The room is the sixth constellation of the seven constellations in the north. There are two stars. At the end, there are two stars, Bisu Er is the second-class star, the star represents the literati in power, moral prosperity, the gentleman advances brightly, and the villain does not see. Kui is the head of the seven white tigers and seven constellations in the west. There are sixteen stars Stars, all represent Wenchang prosperity.

Pleiades is the fourth of the seven constellations in the west, and there are seven stars. The fifth of the seven constellations in the west, there are eight stars, Aldebaran is the first-class star, the color is red, commonly known as the eyes of the Taurus, symbolizing the power of soldiers and horses. Peace and joy, good harvest, if there is a shift, it symbolizes the loss of position of the monarch and ministers, and the turmoil of soldiers and horses. Shen is the seven of the seven constellations in the west. It is the last star. There are seven stars. Good harvest."

Grandpa put his hands down to rest for a while.I want to ask Grandpa to stop, but the curiosity in my heart is at its strongest, how can I bear it?Grandpa squeezed his arm, then raised it up to point to the star above his head, and continued pointing and said: "Jing is the head of the seven constellations of Suzaku in the south. There are eight stars. This star is bright, representing the prosperity of the country and the peace of the people, and the world is peaceful. Color change means turmoil. Ghosts are the second of the seven constellations in the south, with four stars, and the stars are relatively dim, like clouds and not clouds, like stars and stars, which is an ominous omen. Willows are the third of the seven constellations in the south, with eight Star, its star is bright, and the people have enough food and clothing. If it loses its color, it will lose harvest and famine. Star is the fourth of the seven constellations in the south. There are seven stars. These seven stars represent occasional emergencies. Zhang is the fifth of the seven constellations in the south. Six stars, the stars are bright, representing the prosperity of the country and the people. The next is the sixth of the seven constellations in the south, also called wings, the cautious wings, you know? There are 22 stars, the stars are bright, symbolizing ritual, music and prosperity of the country Wait, the world is one heart. Zhen is the seven of the seven constellations in the south, and there are four last stars. The bright stars represent good weather and peace in the world.” I didn’t expect my grandfather’s eyesight and memory to be so good.Although I didn't see it clearly, I can be sure that Grandpa pointed the entire sky.It was as if my grandfather led me through the vegetable garden in the backyard, telling me as I walked, that this row was planted with cucumbers, and that patch was planted with star anise.It's a breeze, and it's at your fingertips.

Grandpa chuckled, put his arms around his chest, squinted his eyes and said to me: "Liangzi, do you understand? This is how Zhuge Liang watched the stars at night." Under the light of the stars, Grandpa's eyes shimmered, as if they were also two of the constellations. "That's it!" I couldn't help but sigh. "So, the stars are the palm prints of the sky?" "It's not quite right, but it's about the same." Grandpa turned his gaze to the night sky. I wondered, when grandpa and grandpa talked about stars, did grandpa sigh like me.Even, did grandpa tell grandpa that way while lying on the bamboo bed?In the long river of history, the constellations change back and forth, and there are many twenty-eight constellations; the world is full of vicissitudes, but people change from generation to generation.

I just lamented the vastness and mystery of the starry sky, but also lamented the separation of death and life in the world. Perhaps, some people's life and death, happiness and misfortune, these stars have already given hints, but they turn a blind eye. A question suddenly popped up in my mind: "Zhuge Liang not only predicted good and evil, but also called wind and rain. He succeeded in burning Chibi with the help of east wind. Why is that?" Grandpa smiled and said: "This is still the effect of the stars. The weather can be predicted by looking at the stars, and the east wind will come. He has already predicted it, and deliberately pretended to use the east wind."
