Chapter 76: Sacrifice to the Heavenly Emperor of the Four Directions, Telescope! (Ask for recommendation votes)
At noon, the sun was blazing.
The stone monument stands on the Langya platform, and there are soldiers guarding it along the way.
On the desk, there are all kinds of tributes.
One quarter of salt is one liter, one is a rice dump, and four buckets of millet are made. Potato wine, the fat man is also very reluctant to take it out. There are also dolphins and bis.
The mainstream of the Qin State believed in the Four Heavenly Emperors: the White Emperor, the Blue Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, and the Yan Emperor. After the unification of the six kingdoms, the gods of the rest of the countries were also incorporated into it. For example, the theory of the eight gods of Qi is also believed in by people in Qin.
At the time of the priesthood, the Emperor of the Four Directions was the supreme main god, and there were also upper and lower temples to worship in various places.
The bronze incense burner was inserted into the sky, and white smoke rose.
Xu Fu stood in front of him wearing a mask, like a fanged ghost.
Jumping around, there are words in his mouth.
Bai Ji yawned boredly.
It's really boring to watch other people dance big gods.
Just now, Meng Yi asked him for poetry, but he directly refused.
Then we talked about the tribute, and I learned that the Qin Dynasty tribute was edible after the priesthood ended. After the participants share the food, they will have a surplus of food, and they will be handed over to the officials to sell.
Absolutely, still with this?!
Bai Ji also admires the customs and humanities of Lao Qin.
Qin Shi Huang stood in front of him, solemn, looking at the sea from time to time.
Today is the deadline!
In three hours, when the sun sets, there is no hope.
Bai Ji also mentioned to him the so-called overseas immortal mountain two days ago.
The so-called overseas fairy mountain, in fact, has the same meaning as Hongqiao, but it is just an optical phenomenon. To put it bluntly, it's just an illusion.
Sometimes you may see it when you stand on the top of the mountain, but you can't see it at the foot of the mountain, because of the different angles.
If not, then Xu Fu is a liar with evil intentions!
If there is, Qin Shi Huang will also try it as Bai Ji said.
Bai Ji looked around boredly.
It is still very important to block Xu Fu's back road.
He also told the fat man, don't kill Xu Fu yet.
Cast a long line to catch big fish!
Let's take it to Xianyang first, he believes that someone will definitely come.
I'm afraid this force is not small.
The fat man also thinks it makes sense.
Xu Fu's medical skills are exquisite, and he cured Hu Hai's illness in the past, so he was reused. Then Xu Fu admonished, and in the land of Langya, you can see that there are immortals in the East China.
Without saying a word, the fat man sent Xuanniao Wei to investigate, and it turned out to be so.
Those who live on the shores of the East China Sea must have their words.
Every summer, when the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the sea is calm, there is a chance to see them. There are also various rumors that those who are lucky enough to see it will be blessed by the immortals, and the grain yield per mu can be increased.
So, the fat man was moved, thinking that Taishan would take a look at Langya after sealing the Zen.
Xu Fu jumped hard, hoping that the Heavenly Emperor of the Four Directions would listen to his prayers.
As everyone knows, this is just in vain. Bai Ji has sensed it with immortal methods, and it is impossible to have a mirage today. Also, it will definitely rain in the evening!
"Fatty, fat......"
Bai Ji whispered.
Qin Shi Huang turned around a little helplessly, his face puzzled.
The corners of the other ministers' mouths twitched, but they didn't hear it.
"What's the matter with the Immortal Master?"
"I'll give you a gadget."
Bai Ji's face was mysterious.
In order to make a good telescope, he wasted a lot of effort.
He made the most primitive monocular, and he had to squint when he looked into the distance. The effect is still as wide as a drop, and you can see people fifteen miles away in an open place, which is about the effect of an 8 times mirror.
There are definitely uses, such as spies.
"Huh?"
Qin Shi Huang took the bamboo tube in his hand in confusion.
Bamboo? What is the white grass doing when it hides a bamboo?
Not only him, but the rest of the ministers were also very curious.
Bai Ji is a fairy! The things you take out are all valuable treasures.
"Immortal Master...... What is this bamboo used for? ”
Qin Shi Huang studied for a long time, but he still didn't know why.
"This thing is famous for telescopes, and you can see the beautiful scenery more than ten miles away."
"Thousands of miles?!"
"Huh? Permission to be granted in the future. ”
Bai Ji was a little embarrassed.
The human eye can theoretically see objects at infinity, such as the moon 300,000 kilometers away, can't we see it too?
Bai Ji walked up a few steps and whispered to him how to use it.
As for the ritual of sacrifice?
Even if the Confucian officials below were all red-eyed, Bai Ji didn't care.
Sacrifice is indeed very important, but it still depends on the mood of the fat man. Similar to Mount Tai Feng Zen, you and I annoyed the fat man one sentence at a time, and he simply followed his own method to seal Zen.
The Spring and Autumn Period was okay, but the Warring States Period was basically the collapse of etiquette and music. The king of Chu once roared very hooliganly, I am a barbarian, who am I afraid of?
……
Qin Shi Huang picked up the binoculars with a deep expectation.
In this thousands of miles away, will there be immortals living there?
Bai Ji didn't understand why he could selectively skip some of his words.
Qin Shi Huang raised his telescope and looked overseas, facing his right eye, and his left eye narrowed as Bai Ji said.
Then, his face changed.
There is definitely no thousand miles, but it can also be twenty or thirty miles away.
You can even see the head of the Qiantou on the shore.
Occasionally, seabirds can be seen flying low in the air. When he got up, he had a fat fish in his mouth.
The scales shine in the sun.
He was amazed by the beauty of such a view.
He even reluctantly put down the telescope, and even Xu Fu forgot about it.
In fact, the effect is not so strong, mainly because they are standing on the Langya platform. Climb high and look out, you can see farther. Coupled with the telescope, it is naturally like a tiger with wings.
"Immortal Master...... Arcana is what you did?! ”
"Well, after mastering the principle, you can actually make a telescope."
In the pre-Qin period, optics was studied. For example, Mr. Mozi, who has already made an ancient life, took his students to do a small hole imaging experiment.
"Telescopes?"
Wang Ben and others also expressed great interest and came together to try it.
The Confucian officials under the steps were trembling with wat boards in their hands.
Bai Ji is here to smash the field, right?!
Actually, this pot still has to be carried by Xu Fulai. There is no need for sacrifice today, he directed and acted in this play himself.
So, everyone who understands understands, who will take care of him?
Besides, the sacrificial rite has ended.
The rest is Xu Fu's work.
They move their steps, and they are okay with emotion and reason.
Wang Ben, the old fritter, solemnly took the telescope and held it up carefully.
After a few glances, his face was full of surprise.
Several ministers next to him were very anxious.
"Tongwu Hou, hurry up!"
"That's it, don't have the treasure to yourself!"
"The old man is over sixty years old, why don't you let the old man take a look first."
"Phew!"
The sea breeze blows.
Curling white smoke fluttered with the minutes.
Xu Fu looked at the lively ministers on the side, and tears were about to fall.
This is the humiliation of Chiguoguo!
