Chapter 3 Chapter two

On the ridge behind the Bayu City, which is known as the city of the world.It was originally a little lower than the Nantian Gate, the place where the sky is ascended. After the Wu people got the astronomy instrument carefully made by the former Shu Kingdom, they spent decades to build a huge star-gazing and whirling room on the top of the star-gazing hall. The highest place in the world. The Star Observation Hall protrudes high above the sea of ​​clouds covering Kyushu, facing the everlasting sunny sky.It’s either the sun or the stars, or the stars or the sun. Watching the stars and the moon in this place where the sun and the moon are almost within reach, the first time is a great surprise and excitement, and the second time is a great surprise. After a hundred times, Just looking at it makes me drowsy.

Shi Wujing, the second-class waiter on duty, stargazing, yawned viciously at this moment. Although the history of stargazing is likely to be in the quiet room on the next floor, he is always very old, but the sharper his ears are, it is said that he can hear whispers in the city of Bayu ten miles away, but Wu Jing doesn't care.Firstly, the elders of Stargazing Hall and Shoutiansi are hereditary from generation to generation, unlike other elders who are elected through selection, no matter how hard he works, it will be in vain; secondly, he doesn’t like stargazing at all, which is boring and uninteresting. thing.

It's a pity that my father stubbornly believed that it was the most legitimate thing for a shaman to do the history of stargazing. With his status as a history of festival talismans, he forced him into the stargazing hall to record the trajectories of stars every day.Thinking of this, Wu Jing became furious: abusing his private power is already right and wrong, and he has to pay for his son's life!Of course, it cannot be said that there is nothing to do in this place.There are often large groups of cloud-born beasts flying past the Kunlun cliffs at their feet, walking through the undulating sea of ​​clouds, screaming loudly, and go to the distance to devour the newborn cloud essence.Wu Jing likes their alternately transparent and colorful bodies.At night, there are lights hanging above the sea of ​​clouds in the far east. That is the floating city of the Yunzhong Clan——Baibi. Occasionally, you can hear the deep sound of the ancient artifact "Kui Niu Drum" used by the ancient Yellow Emperor in the city.

There were several times when Wu Jing looked at the stars and became dizzy, and then he was so angry that he foolishly hoped that the Qi of Zhou Tian would change and push Baibi City over.It would be so interesting to see Bayu City and Baibi City under their feet fighting face to face.Wu Jing planned this for a long time, including stealing the artifact from his father, creating cloud spirits, and luring a large number of cloud-born beasts to come against the wind.It's a pity that nothing happened except that he was fined to meditate for three months and the Yunsheng beasts had a full meal.In this 60-year cycle, the qi of the sky still moves from south to north, slowly moving Baibi City to the north, towards the location of the divine beast Kun.

At this moment, the sun had already set in the west, and after setting on the Kunlun cliff, the sky was finally not so glaring.The top of the head is a gentle azure blue, and the further east it goes, the darker the color becomes, until it meets the sea of ​​clouds and becomes a line of pure black.This color is also boring and unchanged for thousands of years. The first-class alternate Xingshi Shi who was on duty was absent today, and the second-class waiter Wu Jing, Xingshi Shi, who was not supposed to be on duty, was forcefully assigned to wait on him. Thinking of this, he was annoyed.The old ghost who was waiting on him had carefully squeaked, reminding him that he should prepare for stargazing, but Wu Jing was angry, so he whipped it hard, and now he knelt down obediently.

After he finished yawning, he leaned lazily on the railing, watching the clouds come and go.After a while, he felt something flicker in the corner of his eyes, so he looked up - in the distance, above the clouds in the east, there was a light spot rising slowly and soundlessly, especially eye-catching under the dark sky . Wu Jing rubbed his eyes. what is that?It's not like the flickering light of the floating boat; the cloud-born beasts that live in groups will not be so single, and go up stupidly; nor will it be the dragon that occasionally flies by here. When the dragon comes out, it will be heard everywhere. Now There was no sound except the howling of the wind.A hermit with flying swords?Don't be kidding, the light spot is already high enough to approach the spin chamber, and it is still rising. Looking from the position of the witch mirror, it has already passed through Kangsu.Unless it is a fairy who has already ascended, it is impossible to fly to such a height.There are few immortals who have already ascended, and probably no one will put themselves into the sky as a lantern.

"Squeak... squeak!" The old ghost shouted nervously from the side. "Don't make trouble!" Wu Jing shouted sharply, and then whipped him.Su Gui actually dared to ask him something he didn't know, what a shame. But... this is not something that can be taken lightly.Wu Jing hesitated for a moment, thinking that he should report to his superiors.Seeing the old ghost trembling with fright, he said angrily: "You bastard, don't be afraid! Go downstairs quickly and see if Mr. Star Watching Shi is back? Report immediately!" The old ghost ran away rolling and crawling.Wu Jing snorted, and continued to observe the light spot, suddenly felt that it flashed and grew rapidly... No, it didn't increase, but sprayed out more than a dozen slightly smaller light spots to the surroundings in one breath.The light in the middle disappeared immediately, and the dozen or so light spots that spewed out continued to spread around.Wu Jing looked at it for a moment, and after a while, he suddenly realized that one of them was coming straight towards the spin room.Wu Jing stepped back instinctively, and accidentally hit his head on the cantilever of a small star instrument, and the tall sandalwood crown fell to the ground. He hugged his head in pain and stomped his feet.

The speed of the light spot was extremely fast. Judging from the clouds below, it was at least five hundred miles away from the spinning chamber at first, but it arrived in front of him in just a short while, but it didn't grow as expected. Just a little brighter. Someone released a fireball attacking Kunlun! Wu Jing came to his senses suddenly, and couldn't help being surprised and delighted——I didn't expect something big to happen! Just as he was about to open his throat and roar, he suddenly heard someone behind him say calmly: "History of Star Gazing, pick up your crown, and watch quietly."

Wu Jing turned her head and saw a stranger who seemed to be a servant.Strangely, because the Star Observation Hall is located at the highest point in Kunlun, and it is the most orderly place, very few outsiders come here.But at this time, a big change happened, and he couldn't think of anything more, so he just said: "Who are you? You, have you seen it?" The man nodded and said, "Yes, it's very clear." Wu Jing said in a repeated voice: "Hurry up, I'll watch here, you go and ring the bell on the top of the building to notify the guards!" The man smiled lightly and said, "Kunlun Mountain has its own restrictions, and there is nothing that can be crossed out of thin air. You see." Wu Jing looked back, oh, really!The fireball has stopped at a certain position.But strangely, although the ban prevented it from entering the Kunlun Mountains, it could not devour it.Now I can see it more clearly, it is indeed a fireball, it is shining with faint blue light, hovering outside the restriction.As time passed, its light gradually dimmed, and it did not launch an attack as the witch mirror hoped.

Wu Jing watched it gradually disappear, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Feihong!" Feihong is a bird that travels between clouds and delivers messages for people.If I guessed right, someone created this fireball in the hope that, like Feihong, it would convey a letter that others could not comprehend... Thoughts in Wu Jing's mind were spinning quickly—at this height, only the Star Observation Hall and the South Mountain Tianmen, so it should be a letter sent to someone in the Wu clan.But the man couldn't see where Kunlun was through the sea of ​​clouds that lingers all year round, so he tried his best to let the fireball pass through the sea of ​​clouds and then spread out in all directions, one or two of them would reach Kunlun...

"Oh?" The man glanced at him and said, "How should I say it?" "Hmm... When I first observed the fireball emitting light, it was already far above the sea of ​​clouds, that is to say, it was still wrapped by something when it passed under the sea of ​​clouds. How could such a pure fireball be controlled by people?" At this point, that person must be a master at manipulating fire. If that’s the case, he probably wouldn’t put in all his effort to create such a fireball, but just let it out for fun. It seems to be trying to convey a certain meaning..." The man nodded noncommittally, and seeing Wu Jing hesitated, he said, "Interesting, let's continue." Wu Jing paused, because he thought of another question: How can the person who released the fireball be sure that someone in Kunlun Mountain—the person who can understand the letter—must be able to see it? But somehow, Wu Jing was almost certain that that person would be able to see it.He even felt that this letter was a secret not only to other people, but even to most of the clansmen. Otherwise, it would not have flown up from this direction, because this is the north side of the Kunlun Mountain Ridge that cannot be observed by Bayu City. It can be seen from the Star Observation Hall and the Nantian Gate on the top of the mountain, but the Nantian Gate is usually not guarded... If this is really a letter, the arrangement is really good. Just as he was thinking more and more deeply, the man said: "Your name, Stargazing History." "Minister...wait a minute, who are you, why did you come to the spin room?" Wu Jing asked, remembering that he was from the Star Observation Hall, how could outsiders underestimate him. "I am Shun, the first-class servant of the Yasumi Division." The Bayu Division was established by Wu Hao, the lord of Bayu City and the preparatory elder, who is in charge of Bayu City and has power over Kunlun.Wu Jing immediately bowed solemnly and said: "Yes, Xiaochen Jing, the second-class servant of stargazing history." "What are you going to do?" "Of course it is to report immediately!" Wu Jing said proudly: "The duty of the minister is to record everything he sees." Wu Shun said: "That's right. However, this is not Tingfeng Pavilion, and you are not Jianyun Shi. What you should remember is the change of the stars." He deliberately looked at Wu Jing, and slowly said, "Although the strange appearance just now is Above the sea of ​​clouds, but farther away from the stars, I am afraid it is not for you to record and comment." Wu Jing didn't understand what he meant for a while, and protested: "Why not? If it is really beyond the scope of duty, why not just report directly to the elder of the Star Observation Division?" Wu Shun didn't answer immediately.He took two steps and stood against the railing.In the distant sky, Jing Su is slowly rising, and on the huge astrolabe in the Star Observation Hall, its light moves slowly and accurately along the trajectory calculated thousands of years ago.Another time to record the stars has begun. The phoenix of fire has completely disappeared. Wu Shun said: "Your name is Jing... Master Shi Quan, Southeast Festival Fu, is your father, right?" "Yes." Wu Jing was a little surprised, his life experience has always been low-key, and few people even in the Star Observation Hall know... Wu Shun said: "I'm afraid I have to say it again. This is the Star Observation Hall, not the Jianyun Pavilion, so there is no need to record it. I can report this matter to the elders. From today onwards, you don't have to mention it to anyone again." Said She smiled faintly at him, turned and entered the hall. hell!It was only at this moment that Wu Jing suddenly understood - it turned out that the letter was for him to read!How dare you threaten me here!Wu Jing took two steps forward and said loudly, "Could it be possible to end this matter with just one word from you?" Without turning his head, Wu Shun said: "Of course. Division Bayu does not need authorization." He said and closed the door of the palace. Wu Jing was furious in his heart, but he also knew that it was indeed possible to do so with the authority of Bayu Division to rule the Kunlun Mountains.But after such a thing happened in his jurisdiction, he was tyrannically snatched away by Yayusi. He couldn't swallow his breath, and immediately stopped watching. He ran back to his small room and sent a letter to The father who is going on an envoy to the state of Lu told him what happened today, and asked him to find a way to go up to the heavens to hear it. For other countries, the sooner the better, the farther the better, I really want to...
