Chapter 104 The God's Heir Arrives
In an instant, in the square outside the Qianyuan Hall, the palace maids and eunuchs fell to their knees as if they were bewitched!
They pressed their foreheads against the cold ground and kowtowed frantically towards the strange seven stars in the sky!
He was muttering to himself, his expression showing both fear and fanaticism!
"Get up! What a scene!"
The eunuch chief Wang Dehai shouted harshly, trying to maintain order.
"You have offended the Holy Chariot, watch out for yourselves!"
But his voice seemed so insignificant amid the howling wind and the prayers of the crowd.
No one paid any attention!
Some people even knelt more devoutly!
Wang Dehai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but there was nothing he could do.
***
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
There were hurried footsteps.
The empress dowager, supported by palace maids, appeared at the palace gate with a group of concubines who had hurried over.
They all looked terrified, obviously frightened by this sudden strange phenomenon in the world.
Her gorgeous clothes rustled in the strong wind, and her hair was a little messy.
"Mother."
The emperor turned around, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.
He looked up at the sky, the shock in his eyes had not yet faded, and there was an indescribable solemnity in his eyes.
The Queen Mother followed his gaze and gasped!
"Seven Stars in a Conjunction... I've only seen records of it in ancient books..."
Concubine Liang, Concubine Li and others also looked pale and tightly grasped the handkerchiefs in their hands.
“Imperial Astronomical Observatory!!”
The emperor turned his head suddenly, and the sound was like thunder, exploding in the hall!
"Call Lu Jiuxiao! Come to see me immediately!!"
"yes!"
The little eunuch crawled away.
Soon.
A tall purple figure came quickly against the strong wind.
The person who came was the chief director of the Imperial Observatory, Lu Jiuxiao.
He was about thirty years old, with a handsome face and a detached and indifferent look between his brows.
In his hand he held a mysterious and intricate star chart.
The wide purple Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, and the sleeves fluttered, giving him a somewhat immortal look.
At this moment when everyone was panicking, he was the only one who walked steadily and looked calm, like a crane descending to the mortal world.
"Your Majesty, I, Lu Jiuxiao, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and all the ladies."
He stepped steadily into the hall, his star plate slightly lowered, his voice clear and neither humble nor arrogant.
"Lord Lu! Stand up!"
The emperor's voice was filled with a hint of urgency.
"Hurry up and look at this celestial phenomenon! What does it portend?!"
Lu Jiuxiao did not look up at the sky immediately.
His slender fingers gently brushed across the star disk, and then he suddenly waved his sleeves!
Crash——!
An ancient star map painted on special silk suddenly unfolded before him!
"Tianyan Star Map"!
On the star map, stars are scattered and the lines are mysterious.
Lu Jiuxiao's fingertips, as clear as jade, slowly pointed to the end of the Big Dipper.
"Your Majesty, please look."
His voice reached everyone's ears clearly, with a strange calming power.
"This star is called Yaoguang."
"According to Zi Wei Dou Shu, Yao Guang represents 'change' and also 'divine descent'!"
"Astrological phenomena like this only appear once every three hundred years!"
He paused, his eyes sweeping over the solemn faces of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
"And last night, while observing the celestial phenomena, I discovered..."
His voice was slightly lowered, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement.
"This star... has fallen to the southeast!"
"Stars falling in the southeast?!"
The emperor's pupils shrank!
Immediately, suppressed whispers were heard from the concubines behind him!
"Southeast?"
"That's not..."
"Is it locked...locked in the direction of Miss Shen's side courtyard?"
“Could it be…”
As if to confirm Lu Jiuxiao's words!
He had just finished speaking!
Buzz——!
In the southeast direction, the huge ancient bell that had been hanging for a hundred years suddenly rang by itself in the absence of wind or rain!
The sound of the bell was desolate and distant, carrying a power that could cleanse people's hearts. It penetrated the wind and came clearly!
One sound!
Another sound!
at the same time!
An even more jaw-dropping scene occurred!
Just in the southeast direction, above the remote palace where Chen Jiao was imprisoned—
There was a loud bang!
A group of extremely gorgeous colorful auspicious clouds gathered out of thin air without any warning!
The auspicious clouds changed colors, and the auspicious aura was so vibrant that it illuminated the dark sky with a magnificent look!
"Auspicious clouds! Truly auspicious!"
"God bless our dynasty!"
I don’t know who it was, but someone cried out in a crying voice!
The palace maids kneeling on the ground kowtowed profusely and called it a miracle!
The emperor and the empress dowager looked at each other and saw deep shock in each other's eyes!
Just then!
Lu Jiuxiao's voice rang out again, like a morning bell, with an unquestionable solemnity!
"Your Majesty! The Queen Mother!"
He took a sudden step forward and held high in his hands a silk booklet that looked extremely old and even a little tattered!
On the cover, three seal characters can be vaguely seen - "Shenyi Zhi"!
There seem to be remnants of "Volume 7" at the back!
"Your Majesty, I have come across this fragment!"
Lu Jiuxiao's voice was filled with excitement, as if he had discovered a shocking secret!
He fell to his knees with a pious look!
"This scroll records that the mother of the founding emperor of Dayin once dreamt that a red star entered her womb and swallowed it, becoming pregnant!"
His voice echoed in the empty hall, and every word struck everyone's heart!
"When Taizu was born, a miraculous light descended from the sky, and a purple aura spread across 30,000 miles from the east!"
Lu Jiuxiao suddenly raised his head and looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky with burning eyes!
"——It's exactly the same as today's omen!"
He declared loudly!
Before he finished speaking!
He actually did something that no one expected!
Hiss——!
He actually tore off a page from the seemingly extremely precious fragment of ancient book!
The yellowed and fragile pages of the book seemed unable to withstand the aftereffects of the strong wind in the hall. They spun around and landed lightly and squarely on the ground in front of the empress dowager!
It landed not far from her knees!
It is only a stone's throw away from a small incense burner next to it to ward off the cold!
"presumptuous!"
Wang Dehai was about to scold!
"etc!"
But the Queen Mother suddenly raised her hand to stop him!
Her eyes were fixed on the falling page!
The old paper that originally seemed blank, after being brought close to the curling heat emitted by the incense burner,
A miracle happened!
Lines of tiny golden characters suddenly appeared as if awakened!
Shining with golden light, sacred and solemn!
The Queen Mother, who was closest to the scene, saw it most clearly. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and recited in a trembling voice:
"God...the descendant of God comes to this world..."
"The nation's prosperity...will last for thousands of years..."
The divine heir arrives, extending the nation's prosperity for a thousand years?!
boom!
These words were like another thunderclap, exploding in everyone's mind!
The emperor's body shook violently!
He stared at the line of golden characters, his eyes extremely complicated!
"His Majesty!"
Lu Jiuxiao's voice rang out again, interrupting everyone's shock!
He was still kneeling on the ground, but his expression was even more fanatical!
"A strange phenomenon descended from the sky, as evidenced by ancient books!"
"Of course, the secrets of heaven are profound and cannot be seen by ordinary people!"
He suddenly raised his right hand and pulled out a gleaming dagger from his waist!
“Puff!”
Without hesitation, he cut a gash on his left wrist!
Blood gushed out instantly!
