Chapter 1085: Bu Xing Wu
The road to the observatory is a bit winding. There are many plum trees planted on both sides of the road. Under the moonlight, the branches cast mottled shadows on the white wall next to it, looking like a cool ink painting.
It was very quiet around.
If Princess Fuyun was alone, she felt that she would not dare to walk this road. Although it was not gloomy, it was too quiet.
It’s a good thing there’s moonlight tonight. If there wasn’t, it would definitely be very dark here.
She even heard about the observatory from Madam Cheng. On the way to Youqing Peak, they had nothing to do, and Madam Cheng talked to her a lot about Youqing Peak. As luck would have it, she also mentioned the observatory.
Madam Cheng's account was even more detailed than Xiao Lanyuan's. She described in detail how the disciple got to the observatory, what he did there, how he fell down, and what happened to him.
So now, when Princess Fuyun thought about going to such a place, she felt a chill on her back.
She looked at the couple in front of her who were holding hands side by side, and did not dare to slow down, but followed them closely.
But Xiao Lanyuan wouldn't let her get too close. If she got a little closer, he would ruthlessly make her take a few steps back.
This made Princess Fuyun feel extremely aggrieved.
After walking through this section, there is a mountain road ahead without any buildings. There are more weeds on the roadside and some snow, which looks pale under the moonlight.
They heard a strange song and occasional low drum beats.
The singing male voice was charming and soothing. Although the tune was a bit strange, it was actually very nice to listen to. It immediately attracted their attention.
Fu Zhaoning looked up and saw a stone staircase in front of him, about twenty or thirty steps, and on top was a natural platform. It was not big, only about three square meters, with a huge rock blocking one side, and the other directions were facing outward, extending a little.
This is already the top of the mountain, the highest point. If you fall from here, you will definitely be smashed to pieces.
And now on that platform, someone is dancing and singing.
The mountain breeze blew, ruffling his green clothes and hair. Combined with his somewhat odd steps, the dance didn't really look like a dance.
The other person was wearing a mask with a ferocious expression. The colors of the mask were very bright, with red, green and black alternating. The colors were very saturated. Under the moonlight, it looked a bit scary.
He held a pair of bamboo cups in one hand and a short whip made of colorful ropes in the other, and danced in the wind as if he was performing some ritual.
On one side of the steps, there was a standing drum, and Sang Zi was beating the drum head again and again.
The drum beats match the dance steps, with the sound coming just as the other person takes a heavier step.
The sky is full of twinkling and bright stars.
The cool and silent wind.
There are also drums and dances with exotic styles. Such a scene makes people feel a little out of touch with reality, and always feels like an absurd scene that only exists in dreams.
"The person dancing is the temple master, right?" Fu Zhaoning asked Xiao Lanyuan in a low voice.
The current temple master is also wearing clothes with wide and complicated sleeves, which looks a bit strange, but judging from his figure and height, it should be him.
The mask he was wearing completely covered his face, making him look a little more mysterious and a bit ancient.
His singing also sounds like chanting, with a low tone.
Xiao Lanyuan nodded, "It should be him."
He didn't even know that the master had such a side to him.
"Have you ever seen him skip like that before?"
"No."
As they stopped and watched, Princess Fuyun also came to their side.
She was also watching the dance on the observatory with a somewhat fascinated look.
"I heard that Dongqing used to have a kind of star-divination dance, which was created by the national master family of Dongqing. It is a very mysterious dance. Every step is particular and powerful. It will attract the energy of the stars, making the person who divines the stars have more mysterious power, and the result of the divination will be more accurate."
Princess Fuyun forgot for a moment what Xiao Lanyuan had just said, that he shouldn't let her follow too closely. She stood beside them and couldn't help but tell them what she had known before.
"The clan of Master Dongqing?" Fu Zhaoning glanced at her.
"Yes, I heard this from my brother." Princess Fuyun was a little flattered to see that she was willing to talk to her. "And I heard that my brother has been looking for the imperial master family of Dongqing. It is said that the imperial master family knows a lot of Dongqing's secrets and can help stabilize the country."
Xiao Lanyuan snorted.
Da He is really greedy. He received help and things from Dong Qing in the past, but he never lent a hand to help Dong Qing when he was in trouble. Instead, he is still thinking about getting something from Dong Qing.
Fu Zhaoning asked Princess Fuyun with some curiosity, "What else have you heard? About Dong Qing?"
Princess Fuyun thought for a moment and said, "It's nothing. It's just that Dongqing has many mines, as well as a lot of technology and knowledge that neither our Dahe nor Zhaoguo have. So even though Dongqing has disappeared, my brother has never given up and wants to find Dongqing."
Xiao Lanyuan was not prepared to listen to what Princess Fuyun had to say. He pulled Fu Zhaoning towards the stairs.
Princess Fuyun wanted to say a few more words. It was rare that Fu Zhaoning was willing to talk to her. Talking to Fu Zhaoning was almost the same as talking to Prince Jun, and he could hear it. Who knew that Prince Jun was impatient to even listen to her say a few more words?
Seeing them walking up the steps, she quickly followed them.
After climbing up the twenty or thirty steps, I could clearly feel that the wind was stronger than below.
The master of the temple was still dancing that strange dance, completely unaffected by them.
Sang Zi beat the drum and glanced at them.
Standing here and watching the master's dance up close, I do feel that it is extraordinary. His rotation, starting and landing are all very particular.
It is powerful but not reckless, not a feminine style, but not rude at all. After looking at it for a while, you can get a little addicted to it.
Fu Zhaoning was almost ready to step to the beat of the drums.
They did not interrupt the master, but just stood there and watched him finish the dance.
After the dance, the master stopped, spread his arms, lightly supported his fingers, and looked up at the starry sky.
They then looked up at the sky, where the stars twinkled. They looked particularly close and bright, and some of them were particularly large and shining.
Standing here and looking up at the starry sky, there is a special sense of tranquility.
"Did you see that?"
The master of the temple spoke slowly, "Do you see those stars that are closely related to you?"
Princess Fuyun was at a loss, "Which stars are related to us?" How could she not see them? Where are they?
"Feel carefully which one attracts your attention the most and makes you unable to stop staring at it. That's the one," said the master.
What Fu Zhaoning saw were two similar stars.
