Chapter 2 Nine Stars Lianzhu

"Brother, good news, a news was posted online, saying that it was around 11 o'clock tonight, and there was a strange celestial phenomenon that was rare in a thousand years. You must be interested." The fat man's happy voice came over, obviously in a good mood.

"Oh? Come and listen." Yang Tianwen was curious. Yang Tianwen was still very interested in astrological theory.

"I don't know what it is, the news didn't explain it, it made it mysterious. Although I'm not interested, I know you like this thing, so I'll notify you specifically." The fat man replied.

"Oh, okay, I understand." Yang Tianwen sighed, hung up the phone, and lost interest in reading. He folded the pages and carefully placed them on the shelf. He picked up the stone slab beside the bed, took out a magnifying glass, and started to study.

Naturally formed? I just saw it from a distance on the street stall. Now after careful inspection, I was surprised to find that the stone slab, about half an inch thick, had no trace of artificial traces on it. This discovery made Yang Tianwen marvel at the greatness and magical craftsmanship of nature.

After careful study, this compass does not seem to be a compass used in modern times. Instead, it is like the ancient compass used by predecessors in ancient times when they looked at Feng Shui. Although the functions are similar, the composition is still different.

The compass consists of three parts:

1. Tianchi: also known as the seabed, which is the compass. The Tianchi of the compass is composed of a thimble, a magnetic needle, a bottom line, a cylindrical outer box, and a glass lid, and is fixed in the center of the inner disk. There is a pointed thimble in the center of the printing on the bottom of the round box, and there is a concave hole in the center of the bottom of the magnetic needle. The magnetic needle is placed on the thimble. The direction pointed by the end of the compass with an arrow is south and the other end points to the north.

A red line is painted on the bottom of Tianchi (under the sea) called the bottom line. There are two red dots on both sides of the northern end. When using it, the northern end of the magnetic needle should be used to coincide with the bottom line.

However, the Tianchi on this stone slab has no pointers, etc., just a small circle to distinguish it, and there is nothing inside.

2. Inner disk: It is the rotatable disc next to the outside of the compass. There are many concentric circles printed on the inner disk, and one circle is called a layer. Each layer is divided into different equal parts. Some layers have more grids, some layers have fewer grids, and the least one is divided into eight grids, and the most one is three hundred and eighty-four grids. Each grid has different characters printed on each grid. There are many types of compass, some have more layers, some have fewer layers, and the most one is fifty-two, and the least one is only five layers.

But this palm-sized stone slab has only three layers, which is strange. But it is hiddenly revealed the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and the five elements and eight trigrams.

Three, external disk

The outer disk is a square shape, which is the tray of the inner disk. There is a small hole at each of the outer midpoints of the four sides. The red line is penetrated into the ten paths of the Tianxin, which are used to read the contents on the inner disk.

However, on this stone slab, there are only some strange things that look like tadpoles and runes on the outer plate, which is different from the compass sold outside.

Before he knew it, one afternoon, Yang Tianwen looked up and looked at the time, calculated it, put the stone plate in his hand in his pocket, got some food casually, and went out with his cell phone. He bought a pack of cigarettes and a few breads from a convenience store, and walked towards the small hill behind the school. Although the hillside was not high, it was indeed the highest point nearby. He lit the cigarette rolls skillfully and took a deep breath. This time he bought a good cigarette, no longer the kind that he usually smoked for a few dollars a pack of cheap cigarettes.

It was almost nine o'clock when I climbed the hillside, and I walked a little slower. Anyway, it was not a short time. It was a different feeling to watch the night view at the foot of the mountain on the hillside. Not to mention, sitting here and looking down at the night view is one of Yang Tianwen's few interests. Because it can make him quieter and help to broaden his thinking.

Before we knew it, more than an hour passed. At this time, the fat man's phone opened: "Brother, I forgot that we can't see this celestial phenomenon here, because it was news from the northeast. Our southeast area is completely unreliable."

Yang Tianwen was not angry or anything, but was slightly stunned and replied, "Oh, it's okay, I'll just come and have a good time. You should hurry up and find a buyer. After selling that piece of jade, we won't have to worry about it for at least a year." After that, he hung up the phone, took out the stone compass, and used the starlight in the sky and the bright moonlight to study. Then he placed it at his feet, then placed the bread on it, took out one and ate it slowly.

When it was late at night, Yang Tianwen, who was not buried in the book, always felt particularly lonely, felt that he was so disharmonious with the whole world, and felt that he was so out of place with the luxurious city.

Half an hour passed, and the bread I brought was finished. It was late. Although I didn’t have to go to class tomorrow morning, it was time to go back. I stood up and picked up the stone plate. When I was about to leave, I looked up at the sky and suddenly nine shining stars appeared. I wonder if it was an illusion, or if it was like this, these nine stars flashed with nine different colors, which was extremely magical. They stood out from the many stars and moved slowly.

Yang Tianwen wiped his eyes and made sure that he was not wrong. They were slowly moving. Yang Tianwen was stunned and did not pay attention to the stone plate in his hand. The Tianchi Lake, which had nothing on the originally calm stone compass, also flashed nine different lights, but it was very obscure and flashed away. Yang Tianwen looked up at the sky. Such a celestial wonder had attracted him deeply and had no time to take care of him.

Nine stars shining with colorful light are slowly lined up with the moon. Yang Tianwen didn't know whether this kind of celestial phenomena should be called the Nine Stars Pearl or the Ten Stars Pearl. But it is certain that this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime wonder. Yang Tianwen couldn't bear to blink for a moment, for fear of missing a little detail.

At this moment, the changes of the compass became even more strange. The various marks and runes on it emerged from the compass. The compass that were originally a stone gradually turned into a light green concave and convex and convex real compass, but the appearance still did not change from before.
