I am immortal with scientific thinking

Chapter 181 The Star Comes into the World
Fire in July, summer night.

Daqian Dynasty, Yunjing, Imperial City, Weiyang Palace.

Three steps, one whistle, five steps, one post, everything is as usual.

In the aisle of the corridors in the palace, there are palace ladies standing one after another, and occasionally there are female officials and eunuchs coming and going, all of them are flat soft shoes, and their steps are light.

The lights inside are transparent, covered by bright yellow curtains, and the eunuchs are all holding whisks in their hands and not looking sideways. In the dark part of the hall, there are even figures appearing, which are the guards who are responsible for guarding in secret.

At this moment, a bright long lamp illuminated the room as brightly as day, casting two shadows on the bright yellow double curtain.

"See Your Majesty."

A young man with a rather immature face, wearing a scholar's blue shirt, bowed respectfully in front of him.

"It's Xie Qing..."

In front of him was an old man who was about half a century old, with gray hair, dressed in a golden dragon robe, with a majestic old man between his brows.

It is the current ruler of the Dagan Dynasty—Emperor Yuantai!
Although he was over fifty, he looked old. After all, the average life expectancy in the Dagan Dynasty was very short, only about forty.

"I don't know what orders His Majesty has for summoning his ministers, but for His Majesty's reform..."

"Hehe, Aiqing is worrying too much."

The old emperor stood up, came to sit down in front of Xie Yu, with a smile on his face:
"The reason why I called you late at night is that I have doubts about some things. I have heard that Aiqing has always been knowledgeable and talented, so I called here to ask."

Hearing this, Xie Yu had some doubts on his face, but he still bowed and said, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"I've read a lot of ancient books recently, and found that regardless of the dynasties, there are fairy gods, so I can't help but feel a little puzzled. Aiqing, do you think these so-called fairy gods really exist?"

"If it exists, why has it never appeared in the court? If it does not exist, then why are the legends of immortals heard from generation to generation?"

Called in the middle of the night, not asking about the common people, but asking about the gods...

Xie Yu's eyelids drooped slightly, covering the inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I foolishly think that the things about gods and gods are just the imagination of ordinary people and cannot be taken as real."

"Oh?" The old emperor seemed to be interested, and asked with a hint of curiosity on his face, "Ai Qing thinks that these so-called fairy tales are all fake?"

"The legend of fairy gods is a kind of spiritual sustenance of the people. It is a wish that cannot be fulfilled in reality. It can be realized by something in the dark. It is also the origin of the so-called fairy gods..."

Xie Yu's face was as calm as water, and he narrated his cognition of immortals and gods.

"...So, immortal gods are illusory in nature and do not exist."

In the end, he concluded as follows.

"I've heard that Xie Sheng is a great talent. I saw it today. It's really so." After listening carefully, the old emperor sighed and said with emotion, "Your talents can be taught by the crown prince."

This sentence determined Xie Yu's future position.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty, but..." After hesitating for a while, Xie Yu still said, "My mentor, Zhang Xianggong..."

"Zhang Xianggong has been with me for many years, how can I be that mean and ungrateful person?" The smile on the old emperor's face disappeared, and he waved his hand, "You go down first."

"...Yes, that minister, take your leave." Xie Yu was silent for a while, but still withdrew.

"Do you think what he said is true?"

After he left, the old emperor who stayed alone in the empty room suddenly spoke out.

"He didn't lie."

In the shadows where the lights couldn't reach, a voice came, and then a man with a feminine face walked out.

It is one of the two innate talents stationed in the palace in the Daqian Dynasty, Duke Zhou.

"So that means that there are no immortals and gods in this world?" The old emperor's face was calm, and his tone could not detect any emotion.

Eunuch Zhou didn't reply.

"Without immortal gods, there is no longevity... So, that Taoist priest who claims to be able to refine the elixir of longevity by descending from the snow-capped Tianshan Mountain is lying to me?"

Eunuch Zhou still didn't reply.

"Take a step back first." Faced with this result, the old emperor seemed not surprised, so he waved his hand.

Soon, Eunuch Zhou took a step back and disappeared into the shadows.

The old emperor looked at the ever-burning lamp in front of him, and the expression in his pupils was uncertain.

If you want to prolong the number of days, do you only take the life of the sky...

While the old emperor was thinking, there was a sudden exclamation from outside, and then, there were screams one after another in the palace that was supposed to be quiet!
"What, what the hell?"

"Fall, fall!"

"Go and report to His Majesty!"

Xie Yu, who was preoccupied, heard constant exclamations as soon as he walked out of the palace gate.

"What happened, what's the point of yelling like this?!" Xie Yu stopped the panicked guards and said in a deep voice.

"Heaven, heaven!" The guard was out of breath, and quickly broke free from his restraints, and ran into the palace, "Quickly report to His Majesty!"

"Heaven?" Xie Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, walked out of the palace hall, and came to the empty square. When he looked up, he couldn't help but froze in place.

Because in his eyes, above the nine heavens, in the vast sky, under the background of the vast night, at the position of Ziwei Star, there is a little golden light, and at this moment, the brilliance is so brilliant that it takes away the brilliance of the stars in one fell swoop!

when!
when!
when!
The next moment, in the huge Yunjing city, the alarm bell rang, waking up countless common people and royal nobles.

When they walked out of the room, they all saw this strange scene in the sky, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Under such changes, no matter what their status is, no matter how they are divided into three, six or nine classes, they are just ordinary mortals!

I can only watch helplessly as a little star brightens in the sky, and then, it turns into a stream of light, cuts through the sky, and falls down!

Facing the strange scene, countless people couldn't help exclaiming: "This, this is...the stars came into the world?!"

"A star descends?!"

On a small road to Jiangling, inside a carriage, an old hand stretched out, opened the curtain, and looked at the scene in the sky.

"The variables are in Jiangling... even the stars in the sky are powerful enough to change, so they can naturally change the world and create a real eternal peace..." Zhang Zhiping gently closed his eyes.

Afterwards, he opened it again, and said in a solemn tone: "Everyone, we must speed up!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Brother, speed up!" The middle-aged man roared, and then galloped to Jiangling.

And the pupils of Xiao Wu behind him shone with excitement.

That night, the Dagan Dynasty, whether it was the imperial nobles who were drunk and dreaming in the Jiaofang, or the displaced people of Guizhou Dao, whether it was the barbarians on the grasslands in the northern border, or the wealthy families in the Jiangnan water town...all stopped everything in their hands. Everything, look up to the sky.

No matter how important things happen tonight, they can't compare to what's happening at this moment.

Because on this night, above the nine heavens, there are stars coming to the world!
