The shape and size of that thing are very similar to the hexagram plate, but upon closer inspection, it is not.
There are complex directions marked on the hexagram plate, but there are no two yin and yang, eight trigrams, heavenly stems and earthly branches. Instead, there are dots of light flashing in the middle, and the silver light connects into various lines, which seem to be able to form a shape.
After Xue Li went to the Ninth Heaven, she lived with the Wolf King and Wolf Queen for half a year. She also learned the fairy language and gained a lot of knowledge about the star-controlling beasts. She recognized it after looking at it for a while.
What is shown on this plate is not the Feng Shui hexagrams, but the Three Enclosures, Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Constellations.
The four gods, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, each guard the four directions. The twenty-eight constellations are displayed in the four symbols, forming a twinkling star.
This is not a hexagram plate at all, but a star plate!
However, the appearance of this star plate is much more complicated than the other star plates that Xue Li had seen in Wolf Realm, so she did not recognize it at first glance, and the stars on it seemed incomplete.
Xue Li took a rough look and found that about five or six stars were missing. All the stars on this star disk were glowing, so a few empty spots were particularly obvious.
Xue Li took a quick look and found that the Heart Constellation of the Fox Clan, which she represented, was not marked on the star chart and was dim. The Kui Constellation of the Wolf Clan, which Zi Lan represented, was also dim, with no signs of brightness.
How could Xue Li not be shocked to find a star chart in such a place, and that this star chart could actually speak
Xueli had never seen anything that could talk in the Ninth Heaven. She took out the star plate and laid it flat, and asked, "Were you calling me just now?"
The light on the star disk flickered a few times, as if in response.
It said, "It's me."
The voice of the star disk was very soft and small. It said: "I have been with the Moon God Zuixin for a thousand years. Are you also a star-controlling beast captured by him? If there is anything you need help with, I will do my best to help you as long as I can."
Xue Li has no idea how to escape from here yet, so she wants to get as much information about the Moon Goddess as possible.
Xue Li asked in a mysterious way: "Were you also captured by the Moon Goddess?"
The star disk flickered and said, "No, no, I have been here since I became conscious... This was originally just a small secluded place. Before I captured you, Zuixin deliberately expanded it and created this illusion."
Xing Pan said, "Before he captured you, Zuixin had been observing you for a long time, at least two or three months. He knows almost everything about you. You may have known that Zuixin has been capturing the Palm Star Beast for the past thousand years."
Xue Li was startled when she heard this. This was what Jiu Chong Tian had been trying to figure out. She asked anxiously, "Where are the star-controlling beasts that he captured now? Are they still there?"
The star disk dimmed for a moment, and replied: "They are all dead."
“…!”
Xue Li felt a chill in her heart.
The star disk explained, "Zui Xin captured the star-controlling beast for a purpose. He wanted to make a complete soul star disk. The soul of the star-controlling beast has the ability to move the stars and control the stars. After Zui Xin captured the star-controlling beast, he would seize their soul and then imprison their soul in my body. The soul of the beast can light up the pattern of the stars. Zui Xin has not yet gathered his soul. The Nine-tailed Fox Clan is the most difficult, because the Nine-tailed Fox Clan hid thousands of years ago, and even Zui Xin could not find them. Now that I have finally met you, Zui Xin will not let you go."
Xue Li trembled internally when she heard this, but she still tried hard not to show any fear.
According to the star chart, the Moon Goddess probably doesn't know that the Nine-tailed Fox Clan has been found in the mortal world.
Xue Li couldn't help but feel fortunate. In fact, this had its good side. Even if she couldn't escape, at least the Moon Goddess had caught her, and the other nine-tailed foxes would be safe.
Even though Xue Li actually wanted to see her parents, now she might never see them again, and she wouldn't be able to see her aunt and Zi Lan either.
Xue Li asked: "After he captures the beast, how long does it take for him to take action? Does he have to hold some kind of ceremony... How much time do I have left?"
At this point, the Astrolabe paused strangely, and then said, "Normally he would take action right away, but this time, for some reason, he seemed to be particularly tolerant of you. Moreover, after he came back this time, he didn't pay any attention to me and just left me aside. That's why I had the chance to come and talk to you."
Xue Li: "When did you first have memories? Why can you speak? Since you are a divine tool made by the Moon Goddess, why don't you help the Moon God but are willing to help me instead?"
Xingpan was stunned.
Xingpan replied, "I'm not sure either... After Zuixin first imprisoned his soul in my body, I became conscious. Later, the more souls came in, the clearer my thoughts became. But I don't know who I am either. Zuixin didn't seem to expect that I would be able to speak. He was very surprised when he first saw me, but usually he ignored me or didn't care."
The stars on the astrolabe flickered erratically, as if they were truly uncertain.
Xue Li was also surprised to hear its explanation.
She thought for a moment and said, "In that case, if I can leave, I will definitely find a way to take you with me."
Xing Pan asked: "Do you have a way to escape?"
Xue Li replied: "I'm still thinking about it. Someone should come to save me. I need to try my best to find a way out, or delay time, or figure out other things related to the Moon Goddess..."
She thought for a moment.
Xue Li asked again: "But what is the purpose of the Moon God capturing all 28 tribes of star-controlling beasts and making a star disk?"
Xingpan replied: "It's a long story. You should know that the twenty-eight tribes of star-controlling beasts are in charge of the movement of the stars and the shifting of the constellations. To put it simply, it is the changing of seasons and time. Zuixin wants this ability, so he plans to reshape the starry sky."
It paused.
"so-"
Astrolabe theory.
"—He wants the stars to move backwards, turn back time, and let everything in the world return to ancient times."
…
At this time, the Moon Goddess was sitting alone outside the fairy palace.
He raised his eyes quietly, looking at the bright moon that was half the size of the sky and the cold Moon Palace, with the jade flute in his hand.
These were all scenes he was familiar with, but no matter how beautiful and realistic they were, they were merely illusions created by his magic, not the real past.
His Xia'er was gone. Even if he looked at the silhouette reflected on the illusory stained glass window a million times, she would never come out of the house and smile at him again.
His Yuezhu is gone too. He was not a good father. He neither protected Yuezhu's beloved mother nor Zhu'er, who trusted him the most.
On the day Yuezhu fell into the ice spring, she waited for him at the gate of the Moon Palace until late at night, hoping that her father would come back.
Until she died on her sickbed, she still held his sleeves tightly with her little hands, afraid that he would leave as usual.
Chen Xia was burned to death in the evil fire, her soul was destroyed, and the Moon Pearl was the last thing she left for him.
For thousands of years, he has traveled all over the heavens and the mortal world, trying to search for their souls and find a way to bring them back, even if it means evil ways and sorcery that will doom him to eternal damnation.
Chen Xia's soul had been burned by the demonic fire, and the hope of reviving her was slim, but he wanted to at least find Yuezhu.
But it doesn't work.
He searched all over the country but couldn't think of a solution.
After that, he thought of the star-controlling beast and reversing time and space.
He was born as the Moon God and already had this ability. As long as he gains the ability to control the stars, it will be possible for him to do it.
However, the way of heaven is constant, and all things in the world have their own rules. If he acted in this way, it would be tantamount to going against the way of heaven. It would be like turning himself into the master of heaven.
It has come to this point that Zuixin didn't even think about it any more.
Once he started doing it, it was easier than he thought.
Thinking about reversing time and space, all mortal spirits, gods, and every blade of grass and tree can be treated by him as emotionless sand, stones, and soil. They are like the fleshless dust and mud in the old world, and he can choose and use them at will.
Anyway, once we return to ancient times, everything will return to its original place, nothing will exist anymore, love and hatred will all disappear, and everything in the world will start from scratch.
Ten thousand years later, the same life may be born again, or it may not, everything will be arranged again.
However, the tune of "Looking for the Moon" hummed by the little white fox beside the lotus pond disturbed his mind and disrupted his entire plan.
Why does she sing the tune that only Chen Xia and Yue Zhu can sing
Could it be that Chen Xia or Yue Zhu are actually still alive in the world
Thinking of this possibility, Yue Shen could hardly suppress his trembling, and his longing for Chen Xia and Yue Zhu aroused the "human heart" that he had long lost in his years of loneliness.
Zuixin was confused for a moment and put the long jade flute to his lips.
Soon, a melodious tune sounded in the illusory fairy palace.
…
At the same time, Zi Lan and Chang Yun, with the help of Chang Yun's magic, have found the valley where the Moon Goddess resides.
Zi Lan ran so far with injuries, and he had almost exhausted all his strength. However, he couldn't stop until he saw Xue Li, and his eyes looked very scary.
Chang Yun felt the gloomy atmosphere in the air, raised his hand and touched the dark mist in the valley, and said: "I have never seen a place so gloomy. How could the Moon Goddess... become like this now?"
He turned around and saw Zi Lan's ferocious expression. He thought he was in unbearable pain, so he asked with concern: "Are you okay? Judging from the signs of the aura here... The Moon God must be nearby, not too far away. You have been injured so badly, why don't you rest here first? I will send a message to the Black Tortoise God. When they come over, they will definitely bring the Medical Fairy to heal you. Otherwise, Fairy Shao Yin will probably be here soon."
Zi Lan gritted her teeth and said, "I have to go in. I have to save Xueli."
Changyun couldn't help but admire Zilan when he saw his tired but determined expression.
He chased after Xue Li at all costs to save her because Xue Li was his and Xue Xin's beloved daughter, and this was a family matter between them. No one expected that the young master of the Snow Wolf would risk his life to such an extent just for a guest who was temporarily staying in the Wolf Territory. This was truly respectable.
Chang Yun persuaded: "But your injuries are too severe..."
Zi Lan said firmly: "I want to go in!"
Seeing Zi Lan's courage, and the fact that he could transform into a divine beast, even if he was seriously injured, he could not be considered a burden. Since time was pressing, Chang Yun did not try to persuade him and said, "Okay. But I may not be able to take care of you later. Please be careful. I will look for the Moon Goddess first."
Having said that, Lord Changyun quickly made a hand gesture to send a message to Lord Xuanwu and the others, then closed his eyes and activated his immortal power to look for any movement around him.
The Moon God was very confident. He didn't even try to hide his hiding place. Changyun just took a look and felt an unusual entrance to a fairyland.
He opened his eyes and said, "Found it!"
