Volume 2 The Divine Capital is as Deep as the Sea Chapter 173 Abacus
(Many thanks to the 'Lone Hero' for their generous support and monthly pass support.) )
At the same time that the man wearing the soft hood finally fell, Shen Guang's body had already shot out, and the Heavenly Cicada Knife in his hand waved again and again, cutting the throats of all these people at the fastest speed.
Shen Guang breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Sun Simiao, but at this glance, his face changed greatly, as if he had seen a ghost.
There was no one in front of him, and Sun Simiao disappeared.
Shen Guang's face changed, his gaze swept over the whole room like a knife, without any shadow of Sun Simiao, he looked at the door and window sharply, and found that the window on the right was opened at some point, although he was a master of the stagnation period, but in terms of light body technique, even many masters of the breaking period could not compare to him. Although he was killing the enemy just now, he was able to avoid his eyes and ears and leave quietly, this kind of method was really unimaginable to Shen Guang, at least so far this was the first time he had encountered it.
While frightened in his heart, Shen Guang had already jumped out of the window where Sun Simiao might have left, trying to track down and find Sun Simiao.
Wang Junlin specially explained to him that he wanted to bring Sun Simiao back and treat Guo'er and Zimo, but he lost people, not to mention that this was the first mission after the official establishment of the Ghost Eye, and it failed like this, how could Shen Guang not be depressed.
……
……
Shen Guang met with Niu Jinda and others, who were in charge of picking him up outside, and the latter said that he didn't see Sun Simiao leave, and the group of people looked nearby for a long time, as if Sun Simiao had disappeared out of thin air.
"Master Hou, dereliction of duty, failed to bring Sun Simiao back, please punish Master Hou." Shen Guang saluted Wang Junlin with a guilty face, he remembered that this was the third time he had said this to Wang Junlin, since he took refuge in Wang Junlin, in addition to the things of the Universiade Restaurant that were done very beautifully, there were always various accidents in the following incidents.
Wang Junlin shook his head, thinking that Sun Simiao could leave a great reputation in history, even after 1,400 years, there are still many Yaowang Temples in the folk, and there are many stories and legends that have been passed down through the ages.
In addition to being not weaker than Hua Tuo's "King of Medicine" during the Three Kingdoms period, there are also mysterious titles such as "Holy Boy" and "Daojun", and there are even historical records that this person lived for more than 140 years. And the era in which this person lives is one of the most chaotic eras in China, with such a great reputation, if you don't have the ability to match, or even supernatural powers, you can live so long. Even characters like Chang Kuzi and King Hado have a strength that is more powerful than the ordinary breaking period, not to mention the world-famous Sun Simiao.
"From this point of view, Sun Simiao's entry into Beijing or the palace this time was intentional, and he was kidnapped, obviously it was also deliberate, and there may be some unknown secrets behind this."
Wang Junlin's mind was full of thoughts, his eyes flashed, he waved his hand at Shen Guang, and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, it's that I want to go wrong with something." ”
After a pause, Wang Junlin said: "There may be a total solar eclipse in the sky in the next few days, you ......"
Speaking of this, Wang Junlin's expression suddenly froze, and his left hand suddenly raised without warning, pointing straight up, the sound of breaking the air sounded, and the four iron thorns were connected at the end, and lightning shot out, piercing the roof, and he didn't know where to go.
After shooting the crossbow arrow, Wang Junlin suddenly felt something, turned his head to look at the door, his expression couldn't help but change, and his pupils shrank.
The whole process was a long story, but from the time Wang Junlin suddenly looked up to the door, it was only half a breath.
Zhan Peng, Shen Guang and Niu Jinda were taken aback by what their own Hou Ye did, and then followed his gaze and turned around sharply.
At some point, a figure appeared at the door.
To be precise, a green-robed Taoist priest appeared at the door like a ghost.
This Taoist priest gives people the feeling of two words - clean, in addition, in addition to the eyes appear brighter than ordinary people, appearance, skin color, height, temperament, etc. are extremely ordinary. At least compared to the few immortal wind bone god sticks that Wang Junlin has seen since he came to this era, the difference is too far from the appearance alone.
After Zhan Peng, Shen Guang and Niu Jinda were shocked, Shen Guang saw this person, recognized this person's identity, and knew that this person was following him, so he was even more annoyed, but before he could do anything, Niu Jinda was the most daring, and he was already the first to shout loudly in anger: "Whose cow's nose is pretending to be a ghost, watch grandpa cut off your head." ”
Niu Jinda said that he would do it, and with a kick under his feet, the long knife in his hand had already slashed at the neck of the green-robed Taoist priest like lightning.
Although Niu Jinda is very murderous, he is by no means reckless, knowing the strangeness of the person in front of him, this knife has used all his strength, and the essence of the knife techniques such as fast, hate, and quasi is vividly embodied.
But Niu Jinda's knife was cut in the vacancy, because the person he wanted to cut took a very casual step, so he strangely dodged his knife, Niu Jinda's pupils shrank, turned around sharply, and was about to swing the second knife.
At this time, Wang Junlin shouted softly: "Stop! ”
Niu Jinda glared at the green-robed Taoist priest fiercely, put the knife back into its sheath, and stood aside.
"I have heard the name of Sun Zhenren for a long time, and I am here today, and I am not welcome in the future." Wang Junlin waved his hand to let the three powerful subordinates step aside, and gave a junior salute to the green-robed Taoist priest.
That's right, the person who came was Sun Simiao, the medicine king that Wang Junlin wanted to invite.
"The people of the wilderness took the liberty to come, it was a little abrupt, and I hope that Qin Anhou will not be surprised." Sun Simiao's eyes were like lightning, he took a deep look at Wang Junlin, and calmly returned the salute.
"Sun Zhenshang, please sit down."
Wang Junlin stretched out his hand to invite Sun Simiao, who was not polite, so he sat on the first guest seat on the left.
"You three stand aside for now. Zhan Peng instructed to go down and have the best tea, fruits, and snacks served. Seeing that Sun Simiao didn't mean to speak immediately, Wang Junlin glanced at the other people in the room and ordered.
The three of them said 'Oh' to retreat, and soon a maid brought tea, fruit and snacks, Sun Simiao was unceremonious, and did not speak, even if he ate and drank, it could be seen that this person had not eaten well for at least half a day.
Wang Junlin was not in a hurry, drinking tea while quietly observing Sun Simiao.
"How did Qin Anhou know that there would be a solar eclipse in the next few days?" After eating and drinking, Sun Simiao looked up at Wang Junlin and said suddenly.
Wang Junlin seemed to have known that Sun Simiao had asked this question, in fact, he also knew that if he hadn't mentioned 'there is a total solar eclipse just now', the other party's heart would be agitated and his flaws would be revealed, and he would have hidden above his head before he could find out this person.
Smiling slightly, Wang Junlin said: "If I say that I calculated it, I wonder if Sun Zhenren believes it?" ”
Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "The old man knows that the total solar eclipse can be calculated, but that is only theoretical, and to really calculate it, it is not done by manpower, because the data that needs to be calculated is too huge, including the solar orbit, the ecliptic, and the calculation of the moon orbit and the white path, each of which requires great manpower and material resources, the old man once roughly estimated with more than 30 Taoist priests, this requires at least more than 30,000 people who are proficient in arithmetic, and use the calculation chip to continuously calculate for two months, and everyone should not make mistakes. It is possible to calculate the approximate time of the occurrence of a total solar eclipse. ”
This time it was Wang Junlin's turn to be surprised, he didn't expect Sun Simiao to be so knowledgeable. But then he remembered that in Chinese history, since the Qin and Han dynasties, there has been a Taishi Lingzhang celestial calendar. Later, it was set up from the Qintian Supervision Agency, which was in charge of observing celestial phenomena and calculating the solar terms calendar. In the Tang Dynasty, the Taishi Bureau was set up, and later changed to the Tiantai, which belonged to the secretary province, and the Song and Yuan Dynasty had the Si Tianjian, which was parallel to the Taishi Bureau and the Taishi Academy.
In short, it is not surprising that the ancients were able to calculate the calendar by the laws of the sun and the moon, and then calculate the total solar eclipse in the same way. It's just that as Sun Simiao said, the calculation involved in this is a huge project, and unless a special agency is set up with the power of the state to do this, it is difficult to do it with one person or a certain force.
Wang Junlin naturally couldn't tell Sun Simiao that he knew it in advance, and he had already said that he had calculated it himself, and if he changed his words, he was afraid that it would leave a very bad impression on the other party, which would be extremely unfavorable to his future plans.
Wang Junlin suddenly remembered that he had just designed it by himself a few days ago, and asked the craftsman to create an abacus (note) for the Wufu Tea Society, smiled and said: "Manpower is poor, but human beings, as the only creatures with spiritual intelligence in this world, the biggest difference between humans and ordinary animals is that humans can create and use tools. ”
"Qin Anhou's words contain great wisdom! Well...... In this way, Qin Anhou created a tool that is more convenient for calculation than arithmetic? Wang Junlin's mouth is extraordinary, Sun Simiao thought that this son could create such a great reputation in less than a year, and it was indeed worthy of his reputation, and then looked at Wang Jun's eyes as bright as a star.
Wang Junlin smiled, did not answer Sun Simiao's words, but called the maid outside in, gave an order, and soon someone brought a wooden abacus.
Note: abacus, also known as the abacus, abacus is a simple calculation tool created and invented by our ancestors, abacus originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty string file abacus. The abacus is a simple calculation tool invented and created by the working people in ancient China. China is the hometown of the abacus, and today, when computers have been widely used, the ancient abacus has not only not been abandoned, but has been in the ascendant in many countries because of its advantages such as convenience and accuracy. Therefore, people often compare the invention of the abacus with the four great inventions of ancient China. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has just adopted the abacus in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and the abacus has officially become an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This is also the 30th item listed as intangible cultural heritage in China.
