novelThe Four-Star Constellation

"Take a closer look at the top of this picture." Jiang Yun couldn't help but smile.
"The top of this picture..." Qin Xiaoxi quickly looked up, but there were only a few prominent dots on the painting."What's that? There are only a few of these origin points?"
As Qin Xiaoxi was mumbling, she noticed a detail. The dots on the carving were arranged in a very regular pattern. They were clearly arranged according to the starry sky.
"This is... the Big Dipper?" Qin Xiaoxi realized that the dots on the carving were not insignificant patterns.
"Most of our attention was on the other rich images, and we just missed the most important clue. The pattern on the carving is indeed arranged into the array of the Big Dipper, and it is right above the Holy Saint Snow Mountain!" Jiang Yun was a little excited.
"So this has something to do with the fourth verse of the poem, right? The last verse should be referring to the Big Dipper on the carving." Qin Xiaoxi nodded, however, there was a problem. Jiang Yun couldn't make out what the last three words were as it wasn't clear at all, and the clue stopped there."But you mentioned that the last three words of the fourth verse of the poem are not very clear."
"I think the last three words must have a lot to do with the constellation of the Big Dipper." Jiang Yun frowned."The last word looked like the word 'body'."
"Body?" Qin Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"Yes, the body, " Jiang Yun hurriedly explained."Do you know anything about constellation?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoxi shook her head.
"I only know a little about it. Some of the books on the Mount God of Heaven not only have explanations on spiritual power, but also some annotations for the study of the constellation."
"Your Deity Sect is really well-versed in both literature and martial arts, " Qin Xiaoxi couldn't help but exclaim.
"The library of the Deity Sect is so amazing that people can't even close their jaws." Jiang Yun smiled and continued, "At that time, I only browsed around."
"Then what do you think is the explanation for this?" Qin Xiaoxi asked curiously.
"The Big Dipper is not only to confirm the direction, but to the people of the Northern Region, it has many special meanings. The Big Dipper is also known as Dubhe, Merak, Phecd, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid. Among them, Alioth, Mizar, Alkaidare the bucket handle, Dubhe, Phecd, Merak, and Megrez forms the shape of a bowl, " Jiang Yun said.
Qin Xiaoxi naturally felt that it was a little blurry.
"Look at the four stars that are connected into a spoon. They are Merak, Dubhe, Phecd, and Megrez, so they are also called a bowl." Jiang Yun saw that Qin Xiaoxi didn't quite understand, so he quickly explained, "I'm thinking of a problem."
"What problem?"
"I'm thinking if the people of the Northern Region think that the bowl formed by these four-star constellations is the land of the Divine Region?" Jiang Yun murmured, and then his attention returned to the poem.
"Seven stars and four points. It should be referring to these four-star constellations. But what does this mean?" Qin Xiaoxi was very curious. Even if she had given the correct explanation, she immediately knew that the four constellations in the poem referred to Merak, Dubhe, Phecd, and Megrez, but what could she do?
"I don't know if it's right, but I should give it a try. You stand back a little, " Jiang Yun suddenly said to Qin Xiaoxi. Qin Xiaoxi naturally followed his instructions and took a few steps back together with Jiang Yun.
At this moment, the full view of the stone door was displayed in front of the two of them.
For some reason, the stone door at this moment was somewhat spectacular.
"What are you going to do?" Qin Xiaoxi asked.
"I'm going to touch the four constellations one by one to see if the stone door will open."
The Big Dipper constellation was quite high up in the sky, so it would be inconvenient to climb up. Therefore, he could only use his spiritual power to touch it.
Jiang Yun's right hand seemed to be covered with a layer of glowing white veil.
In the next second, he quickly shot out a few small beams of light toward the four constellations. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The beams of light disappeared after colliding with the patterns. They had thought that something big might happen to the stone door. However, after being attacked by Jiang Yun's spiritual power, the stone door remained motionless.
"What? How could it be so simple?" Qin Xiaoxi said helplessly while holding her forehead. But to be honest, although she knew that this result might happen, she was still a little disappointed.
"This... won't work. Let me think about it again."
Jiang Yun shook his head. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the Big Dipper's carving. Could it be that the four points mentioned in the poem were not the so-called four constellations?
Qin Xiaoxi did not continue to disturb Jiang Yun.
"Four points... four points..." Jiang Yun muttered.
Could it be that these four points were not the four constellations, but the meaning of four points? Or could it be that there was a mistake in his order? And this last word "body", wasn't referring to the Big Dipper's bowl?
The point might really mean four points.
"I know what it is."
"What do you know?"
Jiang Yun shook his head and continued, "These four points might very well mean four points and not some four-star constellation. This is because this last word 'body' might have already expressed the four stars in the Big Dipper: Phecd, Merak, Dubhe, and Megrez."
"Really? Would it be that simple?" Qin Xiaoxi couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, she had thought that it was a more profound solution, but it turned out that Jiang Yun had only come to such a conclusion after thinking for a long time.
Jiang Yun nodded.
"Anyway, it's good to give it a try. Maybe the door might open?" Jiang Yun thought for a while.
"That's true. Let's give it a try."
"I have a strong feeling that maybe the door will really open."
After that, the spiritual power in Jiang Yun's hand began to surge again, and Qin Xiaoxi held her breath.
