Wan Guohou hugged the moon and slowly walked in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The moment they saw K1, K1 closed the lighter. Just as Wan Guohou was about to lose his temper, K1 "poofed" pressed the lighter, and then lit up something like a trick. He moved quickly, and in a moment he lit up something like a small tree.

Wan Guohou took a closer look, and this was actually a copper lantern with a height about the same height as him. He put down the moon and asked the latter to sit down against the wall next to the lantern, and then walked over to the lantern and took a serious look.

The multi-branch lamp is about 180 centimeters high, and the main lamp resembles a towering tree with lush foliage. From top to bottom, it is divided into twelve layers, each with two branches sticking out. At the end of the branches are a leaf-shaped lamp plate, and there are intricately crafted birds perched on the branches. Wan Guohou got closer and observed, and found that the form of each bird was different, and he couldn't help but admire it greatly.

At the top of the main lamp, there are two intertwined auspicious clouds, and a hook-tailed dragon coils around them. On the base, there are two small bronze figures in the shape of immortals, dancing opposite each other, with a radiant look.

"There is such a big chant. Wan Guohou muttered.

"Look, doesn't this look like Turkish barbecue?" K1 asked narrowly as he leaned over to Wan Guohou's side.

"Just thinking about eating!" Wan Guohou glared at him, "This is a very rare lantern, and it seems that it has never been unearthed in the past. ”

"Worth the money?" K1's eyes widened.

Yue Shuluo sat on the side and couldn't help laughing, "K1, you are not short of money, why are you so happy?"

K1 scratched his head, "I can take it and have a fight with T3." ”

Wan Guohou ignored the jokes of the two, and he carefully looked at the Lianzhi lantern from bottom to top. K1 had already lit up all twenty-four light discs, and the oil inside was shaking tremblingly.

"K1, look. Wan Guohou pointed to the other side of the stone room, where there was also a similar lamp.

K1 smiled, "I saw it when I came in, didn't I rush to order this side first." As he spoke, he had already run to the other side. In a few moments, he had all the lamps lit up.

Wan Guohou walked over. The two lamps are similar in shape and similar in height, except that the lamp on the right has 12 layers, while the lamp on the left has 10 layers.

"Why don't you make it symmetrical?"

Wan Guohou pointed to the Lianzhi lamp on the right side and said lightly: "Because this is a heavenly and earthly branch lamp, you see, there are small characters engraved here." ”

K1 noticed that he said admiringly: "Master Hou, you see it so carefully." ”

Even if you don't see these words, it's not hard to speculate. Wan Guohou said, "Twelve and ten are associated with each other, and in ancient China they often represent the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches. ”

"I'm most afraid of these things, I can't count them. Yue Shuluo continued, "Since I was a child, I had a headache when I saw those calligraphy and paintings saying something like Jiazi Nian. ”

"It's not hard to calculate. Wan Guohou said. He suddenly remembered that Mo Aogu had asked him to calculate his birthday, and a wave of distress hit him, and he was silent for a moment.

"Master Hou?" Yue Shuluo found that Wan Guohou's expression was wrong, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "But I can still calculate, just slow down." ”

"No, I don't. Wan Guohou's expression returned to his usual indifference, "There is a very simple formula that can be applied. A senior taught me that according to this formula, it can be calculated in a few seconds. He stood between the two lights, "K1, let's take a look at this stone chamber first, Governor Moon, you just sit and don't move." ”

The two lanterns were not far from the entrance, and at this moment they had illuminated half of the stone chamber. It was a long and narrow stone chamber, which was about five meters high and should have an area of more than one hundred square meters. As he walked, he paid attention to the ornate and intricate decorations on the walls on both sides.

The walls are carved with various patterns of sacred beasts and immortals from ancient legends, and near the ceiling, there are a pair of hideous stone dragon sculptures. The dragon capitals of the two stone dragons were held high outward, and the momentum was majestic.

When K1 stepped directly below the dragon's head, the dragon's head suddenly moved, spewing out a stream of flames. K1 jumped back in fright, "Master Hou, there is a mechanism here!" But as soon as he finished speaking, the flames disappeared. K1 was a little depressed, and he tentatively moved half a step forward, and the flames erupted again, and he had to retract his feet in embarrassment. The two intersecting flames burned fiercely, like a moat, blocking Wan Guohou and K1 from the outside. Two seconds later, the dragon's head stopped breathing fire.

Wan Guohou stood in place, thought for a moment, then turned around and walked to the two lamps and stopped.

"Perhaps, this lamp is the key to turning off the fire dragon. He beckoned to K1, "Blow out the lights." After K1 complied, he commanded, "You can try again and see if it will breathe fire." ”

K1 held the lighter and walked forward tremblingly. As soon as he approached the head of the dragon, he stepped out of one foot when flames burst out. He hurriedly walked back, and as he walked, he shouted, "Master Hou, it won't work." ”

"Master Hou, you just said that the lamp is engraved with the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, could it be that the lamp plate in the corresponding position can be lit in order to turn off the fire dragon?"

"Makes sense. Wan Guohou stroked his beard, "But there are sixty in the order of the trunk branches, and if these permutations and combinations are tried next to each other, there will be too many times." ”

"Twelve plus ten, how do you get sixty?" K1 asked, surprised.

Wan Guohou replied: "Ancient China used the heavenly and terrestrial branches to calculate dates and times. The specific method is to put a word in the heavenly stem in the front, and a word in the earthly branch in the back, so as to form a pair of stem branches. Starting from the first of the heavenly stem and the child of the earthly branch, you can combine them in order to get 60 kinds of results. ”

"We can't try all 60 of them, and the oil in the lamp will burn out. K1 had an idea, "Otherwise, we want to have something to do with Qin Shi Huang, for example, his birthday or something." ”

Yue Shuluo was about to make fun of it, but suddenly felt that there was some truth again, "Master Hou, I think K1 makes sense, the ancients attached great importance to the eight characters of birth and the like, and it is really possible for the Qianqiu Sect to use Qin Shihuang's birthday as a password." ”

Wan Guohou smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that I don't even know the date of birth of Qin Shi Huang. ”

K1 was a little disappointed, "What unpopular knowledge it is, even the Hou Ye doesn't know!"

Wan Guohou raised his forehead, "I'm not Wikipedia, I don't know if it's normal?"

Yue Shuluo pondered for a moment, "Master Hou, we can use the time of the rise and fall of the Qin Dynasty to calculate, at least we can get the year he was born." ”

Wan Guohou pondered for a moment, "K1, you close the lighter first, I have to think about it." ”

The three of them were silent in the dark for a long time, and K1 really couldn't stand it, "Master Hou, should we go back to the altar and try that dirt or wood?"

"Shhhh Yue Shuluo asked him to silence, "Don't interrupt Hou Ye's thinking." ”

Wan Guohou spoke at this time: "Before the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, Yingzheng experienced many twists and turns. He ascended the throne when he was young, and Lü Buwei was the prime minister at that time, proud of his achievements, and he was good at power. Later, Lü Buwei dedicated the guest to the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. Chang Yu was deeply favored by Zhao Ji, and he worked hard in the palace and established a huge force. In 238 B.C., Yingzheng held a crown ceremony. Chang Yu took the opportunity to launch a rebellion, but Ying Zheng had already arranged elite soldiers, and Chang Yu finally fled, and was arrested and executed not long after. The following year, Ying Zhengge removed Lü Buwei from his position and forced him to commit suicide by poisoning.

"The crown ceremony is a rite of passage for men in ancient times. I seem to have read in a book that Qin Shi Huang celebrated his coming-of-age ceremony at the age of twenty-two, so he was probably born in 260 B.C.

"No!" Wan Guohou suddenly patted his forehead lightly, "I just remembered that Qin Shi Huang did not live to be fifty years old, but forty-nine years old. Because the ancients mostly counted by imaginary years, people often say that Qin Shi Huang died of illness at the age of 50. ”

Yue Shuluo suddenly realized, "So, Qin Shi Huang should have been born in 259 BC?"

K1 listened to it with a big head, but he didn't dare to interrupt the discussion between the two casually, so he had to pull his beard and play with it.

"259 B.C......." Wan Guohou muttered repeated, rubbing his brow tiredly, "Chief Moon, do you still have paper in your notepad?"

Yue Shuluo fumbled to open her handbag and took out a pen and paper, "Do you want to write out all sixty nails?"

"Hmm. K1, light up the lighter. Wan Guohou clasped his hands in front of his chest, "259 + 3 = 262,262/60, get 4 more than 22." 60+1-22=39。 ”

He looked at the moon and fell, "What is 39?"

Then, almost at the same time as Yueshuluo, he said, "Ren Yin." ”

K1 was stunned: "What kind of magic is this?"

Yue Shuluo looked at Wan Guohou with admiration, "You are so fast." ”

K1 touched the back of his head, "Master Hou, what can I do?"

"You go and light up the Yin on the left, the Ren on the right, and the two light discs on the left and right of each floor are lit. Wan Guohou put down his hands, "The ancient Chinese writing habit is from right to left, and the right is in front." ”

K1 lit up the four light discs in turn, "And then?"

"Then, please take a few more steps. Wan Guohou smiled at the corner of his mouth.

K1 grumbled as he walked forward, "Wow, I turned out to be a meat shield." Complaining to complaining, he still walked to the bottom of the stone dragon, "I'm leaving." He looked back at the Marquis of the Kingdom.

Wan Guohou laughed in his heart, "Don't worry, I bought insurance for you." ”

"When, how did I not know?" K1 immediately retracted his foot.

"Master Hou teased you. Yue Shuluo looked at Wan Guohou speechless, and hurriedly played a round, "K1, you be careful." ”

K1 reluctantly took a small step forward.

In an instant, two flames struck, and he was so frightened that he shrank back, "Master Hou, no." ”

Wan Guohou was a little suspicious: "Isn't it the year Qin Shi Huang was born?Is that the year of his death?" he frowned, "He lived to be forty-nine years old, that is, he died in 210 BC." 210...... 210 + 3 = 213,213/60, get 3, 33 remaining. 60+1-33=28。 ”

When Yue Shuluo heard him report "28", she immediately quickly looked for it on the paper. At the moment, only four lamps were lit, and Yue Shuluo felt a little difficult to see.

"Xin Mao. ”

Wan Guohou nodded, "It's the year of Xinmao." K1, you give me the lighter. ”

K1 ran back to the lamp, and quickly blew out all the lights he had lit before, and then found the lamp plates engraved with "Xin" and "Mao", and lit them respectively. Then, he handed the lighter to Wan Guohou, "I hope this time is right." K1 said, taking the initiative to walk towards the stone dragon.

Wan Guohou and Yue Shuluo looked at his back and couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Whew!" "Whew!" The two flames were like two red-burning giant blades, forcing K1 to retreat a few steps, "Master Hou!

Wan Guohou looked at the Lianzhi lamp, a little helpless, "I can only continue to try, don't come back yet, just wait there." ”

Yue Shuluo thought for a while, "Master Hou, could it not be the year of Qin Shi Huang's birth and death, but the beginning year of his reign? After all, there is still a difference between his meaning as a hero and as Qin Shi Huang. ”

Wan Guohou glanced at her appreciatively, "You are right. He smiled slightly, "I remember Qin Shi Huang unifying China, it was 221 BC. 221 + 3 = 224,224/60, get 3 surplus 44,60 + 1-44 = 17. ”

"17 is Gengchen. Yue Shuluo said.

Wan Guohou blew out the lamp and lit up "Geng" and "Chen" respectively. "K1, will you try again?"

As soon as K1 stepped out, he immediately shrank back.

"Strange, why not?" Wan Guohou thought to himself. After pacing beside the two lamps for a while, he suddenly raised his head, "246 + 3 = 249, 249/60, get 4 and 9." 60+1-9=52。 What is 52?"

"Yi Mao. ”

Wan Guohou blew out the lamp and lit up the "B" and "Mao".

K1 had been waiting impatiently, and as soon as Wan Guohou finished lighting the lamp, he hurriedly stretched out a foot.

The faucet was silent, without any change.

"Yay!" K1 shouted happily, "This time it's right!"

Yue Shuluo was also very happy, "Master Hou, what is the special significance of 246 BC?"

"I remember that it is recorded in the history books that Ying Zheng was made the king of Qin at the age of thirteen, of course, the king of Qin. He was born in 259 B.C., doesn't that make sense?"

"It turns out that the reign time has been counted since the Qin State. Yue Shuluo said softly, "I really didn't expect this." She put the pen and paper away and put it in her bag.

K1 turned his head with a sad face: "Master Hou, there are two dragons in front of this." ”

Wan Guohou sighed: "Are there still two Lianzhi lamps in front?"

"Yes. ”

"What should it be this time?" said Tsukigaro, blinking.

"Since it was the year when Yingzheng was king, this time, maybe it was the time of Yingzheng's death. After all, if he died, he was naturally no longer on the throne. Wan Guohou analyzed, "Try Xin Mao." ”

K1 immediately folded back to get the lighter, and then hurried to the front of the lamp.

But this time it was wrong. K1 stood not far away, and said in fear: "Master Hou, I seem to smell something strange, I don't know if it has been burned too many times, will it explode?"

"You're not afraid of crow's beaks now?" Wan Guohou said mockingly, "don't think about it, this is underground after all. Whether this stone dragon burns oil or gas, we don't know, and it doesn't smell weird. ”

"In what year did the Qin Dynasty fall?" asked Yue Shuluo.

"The Qin Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty, and in my impression, it only existed for fifteen years. Wan Guohou replied.

That was 207 B.C.E. "Yue Shuluo immediately calculated it.

"Yes. 207 + 3 = 210, 210/60, get 3, 30 remainder. 60+1-30=31。 ”

Yue Shuluo took out a notepad from her bag, and looked at it with difficulty for a while in the faint light, "Jia Wu." ”

Wan Guohou commanded again: "K1, Jiawu." ”

After a few seconds, K1 shouted happily, "It's over, it's over! There's no dragon head in front, Hou Ye!" Then, he was quiet for a second, and then suddenly shouted again, "This guy, is Qin Shi Huang?"
