Chapter 154: Jupiter Returns and Everything is Ready
"The ancients called Jupiter the Suixing. Suixing is yang and moves to the right in the sky; Taisui is yin and moves to the left on the earth. * One yin and one yang nurture all things and contain the most basic elements of the universe."
In the university physics class, the teacher was talking at the podium.
Perhaps because physics is not a very hair-friendly subject, the teacher shaved his head and wore brightly colored suspenders, wide-leg pants, and flip-flops, which made him look very individual.
Next to Li Zhou, his roommates Tan Zhao and Xie Lingwei were both sleeping on the table and could not be woken up no matter how hard they pushed.
Xue Jingzhen whispered, "They have been busy with their group assignments recently and are exhausted. Let them have a good rest."
"Jupiter is one of the five planets. Our ancestors observed the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire and earth with their naked eyes a long time ago, and believed that when the five planets are in the same position and connected in a straight line, it symbolizes a good omen. This astronomical phenomenon was called the Five Planets in a Line in ancient times."
Perhaps because he heard someone talking, the teacher glanced in the direction of Xue Jingzhen and Li Zhou, and then continued: "So the homework for this class is to use simulation software to draw the orbits of the five planets and simulate the gravitational field of Jupiter when the five planets are in conjunction."
The teacher opened the PPT and the homework was projected on the screen. There was an extension question on it: "If a very large satellite hits Jupiter and knocks Jupiter out of its current orbit, how much gravity is needed to pull Jupiter back?"
There was a wailing in the classroom. Obviously everyone found this question difficult.
Li Zhou glanced at Tan Zhao and Xie Lingwei who were still sleeping and shook her head. These two poor students should just wait to copy her answers.
"Do you have any ideas?" Xue Jingzhen said with a frown, looking very embarrassed.
Li Zhou said confidently: "Of course."
Xue Jingzhen quickly said, "Then lend me your answers after you finish writing them, and I'll buy you milk tea for a week."
"Drinking too much milk tea is bad for your health." Li Zhou shook his head.
"Then I'll treat you to your favorite play." Xue Jingzhen took out two tickets from his arms.
Li Zhou took it and looked at it. The title was "Asking the Moon", with a brief introduction below:
"The Moon Goddess is Tian Dao's most beloved daughter. One day, Tian Dao fell ill, and the Moon Goddess sought medical treatment everywhere. However, Tian Dao told her that only when she became a mother herself could she understand another mother. Only when the Moon Goddess could answer the question of what a mother is could her illness be cured."
Li Zhou saw a long paragraph of text and skipped it directly.
What attracted her was the background image of the ticket.
The thick blue night sky, the pale full moon hanging alone in the sky, a dancer dancing with a sword in the center of the stage, a flute player hidden in the dark, and it seems that a low and soothing music is floating out from the paper.
Li Zhou said, "I think I've seen this performance before."
"Do you want to see it again?"
"Yeah." Li Zhou raised his head, looked at Xue Jingzhen and said, "I will never get tired of watching a performance I like no matter how many times I watch it."
Xue Jingzhen's eyebrows curved: "That's good."
At the same time, at the back door of the classroom, a bald physics teacher in bright clothes met an old man in yellow ripped clothes and ripped jeans.
"I have done what you asked me to do." The physics teacher stopped walking but did not look at the old man. "But are you sure it will work? Zhou'er can't even recognize all the words."
“All we need is His answer.” The old man said, “You know this, too, Liaochen.”
It is so difficult for Jupiter to return to its position that even the Heavenly Venerable does not have such great power. But for Him, it is just the difference between wanting and not wanting.
"I know."
"I came here to remind you not to stay here for too long." Looking at the students running and chasing, the old man in yellow warned, "These fragmented memories are the anchors that Xue Jingzhen used his body as a boat to drift in the ocean of dreams. They can be overturned by the waves at any time. Even if it is a god, if he gets lost in this dream, he can no longer return to reality."
Hearing the last sentence, Liaochen frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and turned to look at the old man in yellow: "Isn't the so-called reality also his dream? How is it different from the dream within this dream?"
"That's not the way it should be..."
"Besides, with one more person, this memory anchor point can last a little longer." Lechen looked into the eyes of the old man in yellow and said, "Otherwise, Xuanyangzi, why would you bother to send a part of your consciousness here? Aren't you worried that the anchor point will be disconnected and your efforts will fail?"
Xuan Yangzi scratched his messy hair with an embarrassed look on his face: "So, you don't want to leave?"
Liaochen said: "You don't have to worry about this anymore, just go and do what you should do."
"I don't have anything to do over there. I just have to wait for the story to be finished." Xuan Yangzi said nonchalantly, "Why not come here and join in the fun?"
When Xuan Yangzi found Chen, he had already said that her joining was to anchor the "return of Jupiter".
Xue Jingzhen's memory anchor alone cannot have such a profound impact on "reality".
The "Book of Jingshi", a treasure personally refined by Xuan Yangzi, can write what happened in dreams into a "story" and make it an established fact through the story.
This book is so powerful that unless the Supreme Being himself realizes it and takes personal action, no one can change what is written in it.
Lechen was not used to Xuan Yangzi's careless look, so he shook his head and said, "This is a serious matter, so it's better to be cautious. Aren't you afraid that Tianzun will come and make trouble again?"
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate." Xuan Yangzi came to persuade Chen, "You have become a Buddha, why are you still so depressed?"
Lechen choked, then sneered: "You are so open-minded, how come you are still unwilling to reincarnate and be liberated after so many deaths and rebirths?"
"Master, you are wrong. I am neither the first master of Jinxuan Temple, nor Laojun, nor Taisui."
As she spoke, a few lumps appeared on Xuan Yangzi's face. The Tai Sui hidden in her body seemed to be ready to explode. She quickly pinched her fingers and chanted a few spells, all of which were directed at Laojun.
After watching her movements, Liaochen found that the tumor subsided, the hostility and resentment on the surface of his body gradually subsided, and the sneer on the corner of his mouth froze.
Only someone as well-versed in Buddhism as she is could see how huge and terrifying these hostility and resentment are, and how much suffering those who accept them will have to endure.
"You..." Lechen pursed his lips, "...what exactly is it?"
"According to my guess," Xuan Yangzi said with a smile, "it should be a trace of kind soul left by Laojun before Tai Sui fell into evil. But Tai Sui said that people who seek death should not be called kind, but stupid."
Lechen was silent for a moment, then turned his head and looked through the glass window. In the classroom, he could see Xue Jingzhen opening her laptop and Li Zhou typing on the computer, looking like he was doing his homework seriously.
"I have another question." Liaochen retracted his gaze and looked at Xuan Yangzi and said, "The first generation of the temple master traveled around because he could not ascend. How did Laojun... come into being?"
Xuan Yangzi said: "Guess why I told him the story of Lao Jun?"
Lechen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Li Zhou who was tapping on the laptop with his two index fingers.
"The first generation of the temple master could not ascend to heaven. Even if she had the book of sutras, even if she could make the story into a fact, it would be impossible for her to rewrite a mortal into a god."
Liaochen murmured to himself: "Unless... unless..."
"Unless, He believes this story." Xuan Yangzi smiled slightly.
Liaochen's heart trembled, and for the first time he understood what it meant to exist above time.
The gods are pleased with you at this moment, so you in the past have received the gifts of the gods.
God says, the you of the past can exist.
Thus, Laojun was born.
But no one knows whether this birth is a blessing or a curse.
…
In the valley, baby Li Zhou found a thatched hut and saw Aunt Mu lying on the bed.
After being knocked unconscious by the stone, Aunt Mu has not woken up since then.
Aunt Jin, Aunt Shui, Aunt Huo, and Aunt Tu were probably affected by this incident. They all looked listless and depressed.
Seeing Li Zhou, Aunt Shui forced herself to stand up and said, "Zhou'er is here."
Li Zhou blew on the big bump on Aunt Mu's forehead with heartache, and thought embarrassedly that even if she knew medical skills, there was no medical equipment in ancient times, so she couldn't examine Aunt Mu's head.
The confident Li Zhou never had any doubt that even if she had medical equipment, she would not treat people's brains.
After all, she couldn't even name the specific device.
Since the hardware conditions are not up to par, we can only rely on the power of love.
Auntie, I love you.
Li Zhou ran out of the thatched hut, looked at the huge stone lying in the middle of the decaying crops, and clenched his fist fiercely: "It's you who harmed Aunt Mu."
Even though she is small and weak, she still wants to avenge Aunt Mu.
She walked up to the boulder, grabbed a small stone and threw it at the boulder.
"Bang……"
"……boom!"
On the laptop computer, next to Jupiter simulated by the simulation software, a satellite with a density similar to that of rock occupied Jupiter's original orbit, making Jupiter unable to operate normally, and the orbits of the five major planets fell into chaos.
However, as Li Zhou clicked the mouse and tapped the keyboard, an asteroid the size of a house flew from a distance and hit the satellite in a beautiful curve that would drive all physicists crazy.
How insignificant this asteroid is compared to this satellite and Jupiter itself.
But it was just such a small stone that triggered landslides and tsunamis in the universe.
In a burst of brilliant explosions and sparks, the satellite was knocked out of Jupiter's orbit and shattered into countless pieces of rock, no longer able to cause gravitational interference to Jupiter.
Such a perfect collision, which should have been a miracle that would only happen once every billions of years, became inevitable at the fingertips of the gods.
And when a miracle was born, Jupiter returned, the solar system returned to peace, and the miracle of life was born.
"Your Majesty, look." The official from the Imperial Observatory was shaking with excitement. He didn't even care about hierarchy and rushed out of the palace pulling the emperor up.
The emperor followed his gaze to the sky and saw gray Mercury, white Venus, red Mars, wood-grained Jupiter, and yellow Saturn lined up in a straight line.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory blushed and shouted: "Your Majesty, the five planets are aligned, which is a good omen!"
The emperor looked up at the night sky and did not speak for a long time.
In the small courtyard of the Li Mansion, Li Sheng held a storybook and read it to Yue Niang.
"...Zhu'er held the stone and smashed it hard at the culprit who hurt Aunt Mu. The stone was dented and the flying stones hit Zhu'er's face, leaving several red spots."
"Zhu'er didn't give up and continued to smash the boulder with all her strength. Finally, the heavens were moved by her filial piety and blessed Aunt Mu so that she woke up."
"The five aunts were reunited and cried with joy. They surrounded Zhu'er, threw her high up, and then reached out to catch her. Zhu'er laughed with joy."
"The stolen good fortune returned on its own, and the crops in the valley began to grow again, regaining vitality."
"Zhu'er was eating the spicy chicken made by Aunt Huo. It was so spicy that it was sizzling, but he kept eating it one bite after another and couldn't stop at all."
"She ate until her belly was full and burped. Suddenly she thought of her mother and asked her aunts if she could bring some for her mother."
"Aunt Huo said with a smile, of course you can, and immediately went into the kitchen to make another portion, put it in a lunch box and handed it to Zhu'er. Zhu'er carried the lunch box and set off on the way home with satisfaction."
When he read this, Li Sheng paused, and for some reason his heart tightened.
The next moment, a blinding white light appeared and Li Sheng subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Mom, I'm back!" Li Zhou's excited voice rang out, like a small ball, flying out of the book and crashing into Li Sheng's arms.
Li Sheng screamed "Ouch" and was knocked to the ground by Li Zhou, with his back facing the ground.
Li Zhou, who had just returned to reality from the storybook, took a closer look and realized that he had found the wrong person. He ignored Li Sheng, who was grinning and covering the back of his head, turned around and found Yue Niang, and rushed over happily.
"Mother!" Li Zhou held up the food box. She deliberately didn't let Xuan Yangzi help her carry it. "Eat something delicious!"
Yue Niang caught her, touched her head and said, "Zhou'er, how come you are so good? You still remember to bring some back for me to eat."
"Zhou'er and mother are the best friends in the world." Li Zhou raised his head and said confidently.
In the sky, a pale full moon was half hidden and half visible. Xuan Yangzi, who was dressed in tattered yellow clothes, looked up and stared at it. After a moment, he said leisurely: "Everything is ready, Taiyin."
