Chapter 291 It’s the middle of the night, can’t you let me sleep?
"ah."
Ajiu suddenly let out a short cry of surprise.
She grabbed the collar of Xiao Yu's shirt and jumped out of his arms.
Xiao Yu was stunned by her sudden action.
"What's wrong."
"Brother Xiong Xiong."
Ah Jiu's breathing was a little rapid, "I...I think..."
"I might know where to find him."
"That stone platform."
"The stone platform floating among the stars."
"That's the bad guy's... lair."
Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly shrank.
He turned over and got out of bed, shouting in a deep voice towards the door.
"Someone come."
The guard outside the door immediately pushed it open and came in, kneeling on one knee.
"Your Majesty."
"Go to the Imperial Master's Mansion and bring Chu Xuanyi to me."
"Now, immediately, right away."
"yes."
The guard received the order and disappeared into the night in a flash.
Ajiu was still a little confused. She stared blankly at the decisive Xiao Yu.
"Brother Xiong Xiong."
"Shouldn't we... wait until dawn?"
In her opinion, pulling someone out of bed in the middle of the night seemed... a bit impolite.
Xiao Yu sat back on the bed and reached out to tuck her messy hair behind her ears.
"I can't wait."
"Every moment this matter is delayed, our world becomes more dangerous."
"That thing, since it has already descended once today, it means it has locked onto our location."
"No one can predict what method he will use next time."
"We have to get ahead of him."
Ajiu nodded, not quite understanding.
She couldn't quite understand the complexities of it, but she could understand the last sentence, which was to get ahead of the bad guy.
"good."
She nodded vigorously.
"Then we won't wait."
"Catch him out and beat him."
Only about an incense stick of time passed.
"Your Highness, do you still have any humanity?" Before anyone arrived, the wailing sound had already been heard.
Immediately afterwards, a figure staggered in.
The person who came was Chu Xuanyi.
This Imperial Master, who usually looks so elegant and graceful, and pays so much attention to his appearance that not even a hair of his head can be out of place, looks horrible at this moment.
He was wearing a robe haphazardly, with even the belt askew.
His long black hair was a mess, like a chicken coop.
He rushed in and stared at Xiao Yu with an accusing look.
"I'm asking you, what time is it now?"
"Ah? Tell me."
"I'll be busy running around for your wedding, I accept it."
"If something goes wrong, I'll help appease the guests and deal with the mess. I accept it."
"I finally finished all my work and just lay down. I haven't even closed my eyes for three breaths."
"Just send someone to rush into my bedroom and lift me out of bed."
"Your Majesty, in my previous life, did I dig up your ancestral grave or steal your wife?"
"You're going to do this to me."
He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and his finger pointing at Xiao Yu was shaking.
Xiao Yu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids and uttered two words lightly.
"Shut up."
Then he pointed at Ajiu who was lying on the bed.
"come over."
"I have something important to do."
"I……"
Chu Xuanyi wanted to say something else, but when his eyes met Ajiu who was lying on the bed and looking at him with the same serious expression, he swallowed back all the complaints in his heart.
He straightened his crooked robe with great displeasure, then walked over reluctantly.
"Tell me, what big thing happened again?"
"It has to be when I'm about to go out with Zhou Gong."
Xiao Yu ignored his sarcasm and looked at Ajiu.
"Ajiu."
"Draw what you just saw."
"Draw?" Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, "I... I can't draw."
"It's okay, you don't have to draw it beautifully."
"You just need to roughly describe the positions of the stars you see."
"I...I'll try." Jiu nodded.
Soon, someone brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
A huge piece of white paper was spread out on the table in the middle of the room.
Ajiu got out of bed and took a deep breath.
She closed her eyes and tried hard to recall the image that had just flashed through her mind.
Chu Xuanyi on the side yawned, looking disapproving.
"What's going on?"
"She stayed up late at night and drew stars for fun."
"Your wedding night was truly... unique."
Xiao Yu glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to die, just be quiet."
Chu Xuanyi immediately shut his mouth.
Time passed by little by little, and Ajiu's brows were always tightly furrowed.
"wrong……"
She drew a few strokes and then stopped, muttering something under her breath.
"The star isn't here."
"It should...should be over there."
She tapped her head with the pen, trying to sort out the chaotic memories.
Xiao Yu stood beside her without urging or disturbing her.
Chu Xuanyi, who was standing by, also slowly noticed something was wrong.
He stretched his neck to look at the white paper.
It's a mess with no rules, just like a child's scribbles.
"I said..."
Chu Xuanyi really couldn't help it, so he leaned close to Xiao Yu's ear and whispered.
"What is she drawing?"
"Spider webs?"
"I can't recognize a single star."
"Look at these. If you put them together, they could barely be considered... well... the Big Dipper, which was caught in the door."
"And that black patch, did she knock over the ink bottle?"
"What's the point of asking her to draw this?"
Xiao Yu didn't glare at him, but said coldly, "This is not the starry sky that we can see in this world."
Chu Xuanyi was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is," Xiao Yu's eyes were still fixed on the star map that looked like a scribble of ghostly characters.
"The arrangement of stars on this star map is completely different from any star field in our current astronomical records."
"Or rather..."
"It doesn't belong to our sky at all."
Chu Xuanyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He walked to the other side of the table, bent down and stared at the star map.
When he mobilized all his knowledge about Xuanmen astrology and ancient formations and re-examined the picture, his expression slowly changed.
This star map, as a whole, is incompatible with the current starry sky.
However, in some subtle arrangements of certain parts, one can vaguely see the shadows of some ancient constellations.
For example, those stars that he ridiculed as "the Big Dipper that were caught in the door."
Although their arrangement is strange, the core structure of the fighting body with "Shu, Xuan, Ji, Quan" is still vaguely there.
"This... this is impossible..."
Chu Xuanyi's lips began to feel dry, and he stretched out his fingers and gently stroked them across the paper.
"This kind of astrological arrangement..."
"I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
The library in the Imperial Master's Mansion is vast and he grew up there. It can be said that he has read all the rare books in the world.
He had secretly read those books that had been listed as taboo.
There must be.
There must be relevant records.
Which one is it?
Is it "Record of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou" or "Research on the Ancient Starry Sky"?
No, neither.
Although the records in those books are ancient, they are still based on the star system of their world.
The picture before us presents a completely subversive perspective from "outside the sky".
Outer Heaven...
Outer space.
