Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 786 Teacher Bai's Little Classroom

“A visit late at night…” She pushed a cup of Biluochun tea towards him, her eyes slightly upturned. “Young Master Xu has such refined tastes.”

The man blushed and hurriedly accepted the teacup.

I feel like I'm being a bit inhuman. I only come when there's trouble, and I never think of visiting to chat when there's nothing wrong.

However, this woman's supernatural powers were truly formidable; she managed to capture him so easily.

If a fight breaks out, we might not be able to defeat them in three moves.

Xu Xuan coughed lightly, straightened his expression, and exchanged a few polite greetings. However, his gaze was unconsciously drawn to the cinnabar mark between Bai Suzhen's eyebrows.

"Miss Bai, what is this...?" He pointed to his forehead, feigning ease with a smile, "Are you going to dress up as Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Bai Suzhen gently brushed the red mark on her forehead with her delicate hand and said calmly, "It's a supernatural power I've recently comprehended, similar to the manifestation of the white hair mark in Buddhism."

Her gaze shifted, quickly changing the subject, "Young Master Xu, is your late-night visit to keep your appointment at the Purple Bamboo Grove in the South China Sea?"

"Hahahahaha~~~~~No."

"Isn't this... you know?"

Xu Xuan laughed first, indicating that he was quite satisfied with his life and was not in a hurry to go.

Then, getting to the point, he took out the strange statue of the God of Literature from his sleeve.

"Actually, I came here for this."

He recounted the recent discoveries at Baoan Hall and shared his speculations.

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Bai Suzhen's eyes.

She gently raised her hand to take the wooden carving and examined it carefully. As a descendant of the Lishan lineage, her understanding of Wenquxing—the fourth star of the Big Dipper—was far deeper than that of ordinary people.

A shimmering starlight emanated from her fingertips as she slowly traced the surface of the wood carving. Suddenly, her brow furrowed, and she turned and walked into the inner room.

Xu Xuan was about to follow when he was blocked by a water curtain barrier.

"Wait a moment." Bai Suzhen's cold voice came from inside.

Oh, the boudoir.

That was presumptuous of me.

Xu Xuan felt that he had lost his composure today and was not as calm and carefree as before.

Have I been bewitched by beauty?

This wait lasted for two hours.

Xu Xuan idly counted the schools of fish swimming across the palace roof until the barrier dissipated, at which point he saw Bai Suzhen emerge carrying a pile of ancient books and a star chart.

It seems we've found a clue.

“The Heavenly Power is different,” she said briefly, then went to the center of the water and set up the astrolabe.

Under the moonlight, her delicate hands moved swiftly, forming complex hand seals, and the copper needles on the astrolabe began to spin rapidly.

Xu Xuan stood to the side and felt like an illiterate man, watching Bai Suzhen sometimes look up at the stars and sometimes look down at the star chart, her clothes fluttering as she exuded an ethereal aura.

Although he couldn't understand the complex deductions at all, he inexplicably felt that the numerological deductions of this sect had a unique, almost rigorous beauty, akin to that of "science and engineering".

Of course, the person casting the spell was even more beautiful. Xu Xuan unconsciously glanced at that graceful figure under the moonlight a few more times.

Bai Suzhen put away the astrolabe and turned to Xu Xuan with a solemn expression: "What Yu Gong said is correct."

"Hmm?" Xu Xuan was staring at the dangling hairpin in her hair, lost in thought, and didn't react for a moment.

"The destiny of the Wenqu Star..." Bai Suzhen said, enunciating each word clearly, "is to be reincarnated in the human world."

"Huh?!?!" Xu Xuan almost choked on his own saliva.

Bai Suzhen, you...

That's all you can calculate? Then you could even figure out the time and place of reincarnation...

It's good that the thighs are still performing well, but it's scary when they're too good, especially for someone with a guilty conscience.

"Um..." He chuckled awkwardly, forcibly steer the conversation back on track, "Miss Bai, can you predict where this Wenquxing (a star associated with literature and scholarship) will be reincarnated?"

"The secrets of heaven are in chaos, so we can only deduce that it is in the Jiangnan area."

oh~~~~
The chaos of celestial secrets is good, truly good. But wouldn't spending all our time deducing and calculating mean missing out on so much joy and surprise in life?

Xu Xuan doesn't like this kind of thing, unless he can do it himself.

Closer to home.

Is being a reincarnated person really that powerful?

After all, Wenquxing doesn't have many highlights. Xu Shilin doesn't have the ability to wear his underwear on the outside, and Bi Gan only has a clever mind.

After Xu Xuan asked this question, Bai Suzhen felt that the teachings of Buddhism were still too superficial.

So they formed hand seals, and blue light flashed, and the two were already in the sea of ​​stars.

Teacher Bai's mini-class has begun.

"Reincarnation is far more important than you imagine," Bai Suzhen's voice echoed through the sea of ​​stars. With a light tap of her fingertip, the trajectories of the stars became clearly visible. "Look—"

With a flick of her delicate hand, several stars materialized and began to rotate according to the natural order of the universe.

Amidst the intertwining starlight, a myriad of human experiences emerge: purple mist rises from the rooftops when a baby is born, the Wenqu star shines upon a scholar who passes the imperial examination, and a blood moon hangs in the sky when a general falls from the heavens.

"The stars are in the sky, and the sky has its own image. Humans are born with qi and grow with qi. They are noble if they are noble, and lowly if they are lowly. Nobility or rank may vary, and wealth or resources may vary. All these are determined by the rank and size of the stars."

"Therefore, the destiny of the stars is also a kind of human destiny."

As a disciple of the Old Mother of Lishan, no other cultivator in the mortal realm understands the power of the stars better than her at this moment.

The Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper are ranked second only to the major stars such as the Moon, the Sun, and the Purple Star among the countless stars in the sky.

Each time it descends upon the human world, it causes tremendous upheavals.

"In fact, more than two years ago, the sixth star of the Southern Dipper, the seventh star of the Northern Dipper, and the first star of the Northern Dipper had already descended to the human world. Whether they have possessed human beings or not is still unknown."

"But this is enough to frighten the cultivators who observe the stars."

Bai Suzhen's expression was solemn.

When the Seven Killings, Greedy Wolf, and Broken Army stars are in the three cardinal directions of the Life Palace, it is called the "Seven Killings, Broken Army, and Wolf" pattern.

The Seven Killings are the thieves who disrupt the world, the Broken Army is the general who roams the world, and the Greedy Wolf is the treacherous and cunning person. Once these three stars come together, the world will inevitably change hands, and there is no turning back.

When the worldly affairs arise, if I do not transcend the human realm before then, I fear I will face a great crisis.

Let's go back to the Wenquxing (文曲星).

Xu Xuan stared at the twinkling Big Dipper in the star chart, his gaze settling on the fourth star, Tianquan.

With a light tap of her fingertips, Bai Suzhen caused the star to radiate a cool, elegant light.

"Wenqu is the fourth star of the Big Dipper, belonging to the Yin Water element in the Five Elements theory." Her voice flowed like a clear spring. "Those who possess this destiny are naturally gifted in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and can compose poetry and songs with ease. However..."

As the starlight shifted, wisps of pink mist clung to the celestial bodies. Xu Xuan understood: "Peach blossoms bring misfortune?"

Bai Suzhen nodded slightly: "More importantly, in Zi Wei Dou Shu, Wen Qu and Wen Chang are the most important auxiliary stars. Turning misfortune into good fortune and overcoming difficulties is just a basic destiny."

Countless golden threads appeared on the star map. "An article can awaken millions of people, and a poem can boost the morale of the three armies—this is the true significance of the reincarnation of the Star Lord."

Therefore, every moment of the stars and destiny has the power to influence billions of people in the world.

"Less than three years after the three stars of Killing, Breaking, and Wolf descended to earth, the star of Literature descended to earth, and the chaos of this world is already visible to the naked eye."

"The person behind this is also someone who is concerned with the human condition."

Bai Suzhen was truly Xu Xuan's benefactor; she dissected everything completely with a single analysis.

"So the current situation is—" Xu Xuan summarized by counting on his fingers, "Someone predicted that the God of Literature would be reincarnated, so they made arrangements in advance, taking advantage of the imperial examination, the time when literary spirit is at its peak, to collect the wishes of scholars, so that they can perfectly take over."

That's amazing, truly amazing.

This is truly a strategic move by the world, and I wonder who the powerful figure behind it is. Thinking about it carefully, the Emperor of Jin could be one of them.

Since the person behind this is taking it so seriously, I might as well sabotage it.

No wonder he's a born devil.

Once this highly sophisticated, secretive, and meticulously planned scheme was discovered, they immediately began sabotaging it without any regard for the consequences.

But this is also the simplest and least disadvantageous way to break the deadlock.
