Chapter 1240: The Sun and the Moon Meet

Because they couldn't use high-tech equipment, they had to use ancient compasses and astrological signs to find their bearings, so the team rested during the day and traveled at night. On www.biquge.info the seventh day, just before the Lunar New Year, the team finally stopped marching on a sand dune without any anomalies.

This stop is three days.

The expert group thought that Ye Jiu and Ouyang, who were leading the way, were lost, so they suggested opening the device to locate it, but Zhang Meng directly vetoed it, and ordered that from now on, everyone is not allowed to act without authorization, and stay where they are honestly.

After staying in this deserted place for three days in a row, the fat man had long been worn out to the point that he had no patience at all. Seeing that 1ady Na didn't care about herself at all, she found Zhang Meng.

"I said Zhang Quede, are you not sure?"

Zhang Meng ignored the fat man, but like Ye Jiu and Ouyang, he sat on the sand, quietly closing his eyes and recuperating.

"It's okay, let me tell you, no one is an immortal, and when everyone makes mistakes, isn't Brother Qiang still not finding the entrance to Lop Nur? But are we wrong? Wouldn't you just pay attention next time? The fat man persuaded bitterly.

Seeing that Zhang Meng still couldn't listen to a word, the fat man was a little anxious: "Hey, I said that we don't want to be here, this place is easy to get at night, but it's too hot during the day, you see that the fat man is almost roasted all over his body." If you really can't find it, let's go back to the base camp and rest our feet, shall we? ”

"Hey, fatty." At this time, Ouyang in the distance shouted.

"What for?" As soon as he saw that it was Ouyang, the fat man immediately put down his face.

"Ask you something." Ouyang said.

"If there's a fart, let it go." The fat man still doesn't give a good face.

"I heard you're also a veteran of tomb robbers?" Ouyang asked.

"That's it, fat man, I was the king of tomb robbers in Henan and Hebei back then." The fat man proudly showed off.

"Huh." Ouyang smiled slightly: "Since you are the king of tomb robbers, you must know what it means to be in the right place and at the right time." ”

"Nonsense." The fat man pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Can the fat man not know this little common sense?" What ordinary people say is that the time and place are right, and things are going well. But in the line of Tufuzi, the right time, place and people are another kind of reference......"

"That's not right." Speaking of this, the fat man suddenly stared at Ouyang with wide eyes: "You mean we're waiting for the day now?" ”

"You're not stupid." Ouyang said with a smile.

"I'll ......"

Before the fat man could scold Ouyang, Ye Jiu, who was holding the fast snow knife on the side and closed his eyes to recuperate, opened his eyes and said coldly: "The winter solstice has just passed, and the blood moon has just passed, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait until the sun and the moon are combined." ”

"What is the combination of the sun and the moon?" Hearing Ye Jiu throw out such a profound sentence without a head, the fat man was suddenly a little confused.

However, Ye Jiu didn't explain to the fat man, his gaze always stayed on Ouyang's body.

Ouyang smiled, and chatted with Ye Jiu one by one: "If it was a previous year, when a blood moon just appeared in the sky over the desert, there would never be a combination of the sun and the moon, but this year, the celestial phenomena are abnormal, wait, there will definitely be." ”

"I said, you two are enough! Doesn't bullying the fat man understand the stars? What the hell are you talking about, can you talk to people? "The fat man just can't stand being ignored.

"Little fat man, I think you are also a character, why don't you understand the combination of the sun and the moon?" An old man in the expert group slowly walked up to the sand dunes, touched his half-inch-long beard, looked at the sky and explained, "I heard that before the old man first came, there was a blood moon in the sky here? ”

"That's right." The fat man replied.

"This is a master of Sinology, Mr. Gu." 1ady Na introduced from the side.

Several people nodded their heads in respect.

"The blood moon over the desert is actually a total lunar eclipse." The old man said: "And the combination of the sun and the moon should refer to the simultaneous birth of a total solar eclipse and a total lunar eclipse, but the probability of the two being born at the same time is too small, and there are not many times in history." Although I don't understand why Ouyang is so sure, but judging from the old age, what Ouyang relies on should not be the solar calendar and lunar calendar we use now, right? ”

"The old gentleman has good eyesight." Ouyang glanced at Mr. Gu, a master of sinology in front of him, a little surprised.

"You don't use a solar calendar or a lunar calendar, so what do you use to calculate the time of a total solar and lunar eclipse?" The fat man asked.

"It's a lunar calendar." Yang said.

"Lunar calendar? Isn't the lunar calendar the lunar calendar? The fat man glanced at Ouyang and muttered, "I don't know the calendar when I bully the fat man." ”

"Hehe, little fat man, you really don't understand." Mr. Gu explained with a smile: "The lunar calendar we use now is indeed not a lunar calendar, and the lunar calendar is calculated based on the waxing and waning of the moon. The lunar calendar used in our country now adopts the algorithm of leap month and 24 solar terms, to be precise, the lunisolar calendar that was added later. ”

"Lunisolar calendar?" Zhang Meng was stunned.

"That's right." Mr. Gu nodded, then looked back at Ouyang, and continued: "Old man still can't understand, this lunar calendar was only used in ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon and ancient China, and it has been abolished and improved later, why does Brother Ouyang use such a complicated calendar to calculate the time of the day?" ”

"Since the old gentleman knows that this kind of calendar was only used by the ancients thousands of years ago, why don't you think about it, the place we are going to is also a place thousands of years ago." Ouyang said.

"Oh." After Mr. Gu was silent for a moment, he nodded slowly and praised: "Brother Ouyang has seen it, it is not as good as being old, admire, admire." ”

"Where." Facing this expert in Sinology, Ouyang nodded humbly.

Only Ye Jiu still closed his eyes indifferently and did not interject.

"You say that, I understand it, fat man. But the desert has just had a total lunar eclipse, how can there be a total solar eclipse again, isn't this nonsense? The fat man asked.

"You're right." Ouyang said: "That's why I said before that this year's celestial phenomena are abnormal and can't be seen according to common sense." Although there has just been a total lunar eclipse such as the Blood Moon, according to the lunar calendar thousands of years ago, there is still a total solar eclipse, and maybe today, there will be the time we have to wait. ”

"So?" 1Ady Na frowned slightly.

"The real Lop Nur has two lake bottoms, which itself alludes to the two sides of yin and yang in Taiji, and it takes certain days to open, which can also be said." After listening to everyone's conversation, Zhang Meng nodded and said.

"Damn! It's like you're a feng shui master, too. The fat man squeezed Zhang Meng: "Don't pretend to understand." But I really want to see if there will be another total solar eclipse in this desert. ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard someone at the back of the line exclaim!
