The width of the back shell is only slightly less than the length, almost round. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The body is flattened, slightly raised, and the back is smooth and shiny, blackish-green.

The strange thing is that there are many yellow spots on the lid of Wang Ba, and there are countless yellow spots in between, and some of the fine spots also form a circle around the yellow spots; The entire yellow markings form a radial shape, diverging outward from the center of the lid of the king.

Sun Yi gasped, this dense yellow markings are characteristic of the turtle, which was a critically endangered species in later generations.

Daoist Jia, Stuffy, Yilong, and Yang Ritian all leaned over to look, and everyone was speechless for a while.

The pattern of this turtle can only be described as "weird and beautiful".

After a long time, Daoist Jia's voice trembled and said, "This ...... This...... Isn't it a reproduction of the river map!? ”

As a programmer, Sun Yi knows a little about Hetuluoshu.

Legend Fu Xi in the Yellow River by the Longma River map, there is a turtle from Luoshui appeared, carrying the "Luo book", Fu Xi according to the river Tuluo calligraphy and painting out of the gossip, the so-called "river out of the map, Luo out of the book", the word book of the library in later generations is from this allusion.

During the Song and Ming dynasties, the Hetu Luo book was endowed with the mysterious meaning of the five elements of yin and yang. In later generations, Hetu and Luoshu were considered mathematical patterns - that is, the widely circulated "Nine Palaces Diagram" and "Ten Number Diagram".

The sum of each row and column and diagonal of the nine-house chart is fifteen, and the ten-number chart is the equivalent change of the nine-house chart.

The Wang Ba cover in front of him has nothing to do with the Nine Palaces in Sun Yi's opinion. Sun Yi still remembered the mantra of the Nine Palaces Diagram and said: "Wear nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, two or four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, and five in the center, how can there be a number on this king and eight shells!" ”。

Daoist Jia replied in a trembling voice: "The Hetuluo book is written by the ancients, and there is no pattern to circulate. Three generations later, no one has seen it! The modern Hetuluo book pattern is derived from the ancestor of Chen Tu in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is different and unknown. ”

Sun Yiqi said, "Oh? So apart from Fuxi, has anyone seen Hetu? ”

The Taoist priest calmed down a little and returned: "After Fuxi, Xuanyuan, Yao, Shun, Xia Yu, Shang Tang, and King Wen of Zhou have all received Hetu. Three generations later, morality collapsed, and books ceased to reappear. Zi said: 'The phoenix bird does not come, the river does not come out of the map, I have already been a husband'! ”

Sun Yi knew that the original Hetu also had the meaning of this "God's Medal", "Are you sure this is Hetu?" ”

Daoist Jia shook his head, "Don't dare." No one has ever seen Hetu. It's just that this picture is really weird! ”

Jia Daoshi stretched out his hand to touch the pattern, and his fingers slid along the yellow spots, and it was a five-pointed star!

Daoist Jia looked up at Sun Yi, "This is a sign of great benevolence and great governance!" ”

Sun Yi was dumbfounded, and his brain was short-circuited.

The onlookers retreated and fell to their knees like a falling tide.

This pattern is not a river map but also a river map!

Sun consciously took out his mobile phone and took pictures from all angles.

The pious expressions of the people in the mobile phone lens shocked Sun Yi in a cold sweat. These Ming Dynasty people won't find a piece of yellow cloth for me to wear and force me to make Yao Shunyu soup, right?

As the Li Del Ye of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Yi already felt uncomfortable. If you become a loner, what joy will you have left! Think about not being able to make mistakes, not being able to go to the birds, not being able to swim in the middle of the night, not being able to flirt with the baby...... Sun Yi shuddered.

Sun Yi hurriedly moved out of the honorary chairman of the Tiemu camp to help, "This turtle ...... No...... This overlord must have been sent by Lord Shennong to praise you! ”

Yang Ritian was like in a dream, "Yes, yes, yes, it must be Shennong's blessing to me." ”

Sun Yi took advantage of the situation to guide the thinking of the Ming Dynasty: "Since we made an oath and worshiped Shennong as the owner, I found that everyone does not close their doors at night and does not leave the road behind. ”

In fact, the shacks of the Ming Dynasty people had no doors at all, and they were so poor that they had nothing to lose.

But the people of the Ming Dynasty pondered it, this is the case!

Thinking about it again, it seems that there are fewer brawls and fights.

In fact, in the subconscious of every Ming Dynasty person, there is a psychology that cannot be discredited by Shennong.

Could this really be that Shennong Ye is praising us?

Some people burst into tears.

Sun Yi continued, "I heard that Changsheng Village is going to build a river temple," Changsheng Village is the production team next to the barracks, named after Changsheng Wharf. "Now that the Dragon King has made peace with us, and Shennong has also brought the river map, the little river god probably won't dare to provoke us again. Why don't we build a river temple? ”

Sun Yi's bend turned a little big.

When Yang Ritian heard about the River Temple for the first time, he immediately spoke for the villagers of Changsheng, "What kind of Laoshizi River Temple to build!" This river is called Shennong River, and if you want to build it, you have to build Shennong Temple! ”

Sun Yi hurriedly said, "Master Shennong is our own person, just have a master in our hearts, and you know everything." The matter of building a temple is not in a hurry, it is better to seize the time to build a house and farm land. ”

Several village names nodded in agreement.

A dragon asked tentatively, "Master, why don't we put this bully back into the water?" ”

Sun Yi thought for a while, "Move the Baxia out, and let everyone see the river map sent by Shennongye." This king can go as long as he wants, and no one should hurt him. Also, Baxia is just a messenger, don't kneel, get up! ”

A dragon immediately beckoned people, even carried his back, and "invited" the Ba Xia out of the barracks, and the people followed the Ba down.

……

The barracks were clean.

Sun Yi entered the big tent, rubbed his hands and wiped his face, "This is a troublemaker!" ”

A dragon and Jia Daoshi sneaked in.

"Master," Yilong asked, "did you arrange the pattern?" ”

Sun Yi shook his head, "It's a coincidence. ”

Jia Daoshi shook his feather fan, "It's no coincidence! That's Hetu! ”

Sun Yiyi: "A dragon said that the kind of king eight can often be encountered in the reeds, how can there be so many river maps!" ”

A dragon solemnly said, "Master, you can't say that, there are eight kings in the reeds, but I have never heard of the turtle born with a pentagram, that is Hetu!" ”

"Forget it, you just say yes." Sun Yi didn't want to dwell on it anymore.

Originally, he heard that the villagers were going to arrange a lot of manpower and material resources to build the river temple, so he came up with such an idea to fight poison with poison, and wanted the villagers to shift their energy to construction.

At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods, and if Sun Yi went directly to persuade the villagers not to build a temple, he would definitely be asking for trouble. Fortunately, Jia Daoshi told fortunes all day long, but he didn't believe in cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and a dragon was used to seeing the king eight in the Yellow River, so he set up a game in the shallows on the opposite bank in advance.

Unexpectedly, the king eight is actually a turtle, and there is a five-pointed star!

Sun Yi asked a dragon, "That kind of Wang Ba, you can often see it on the other side?" ”

A dragon said: "Don't count this one, I've seen it three times in the past few days." ”

Sun Yi was full of emotion: "This kind of Wang Ba actually has something to do with the dragon, and it is not wrong to call the overlord." It seems that a protected area will have to be carved out on the other side of the river. ”

Turtle is actually a species of the same age as the dinosaurs, more precious than the giant panda, there are only two surviving in later generations, a male and a female, zoologists spent eight years trying to artificially breed, as of 2016 Sun Yi broke into the Ming Dynasty one by one, did not succeed.

A dragon asked puzzledly: "What is a protected area?" ”

Sun Yi replied: "It is to draw a piece of land and prohibit people from entering." ”

Yilong was a little reluctant, "Everyone can't eat enough, and seeing a large area of reeds that are not allowed to go in to pick up wild duck eggs and dig reed roots, is it inappropriate?" ”

Daoist Jia immediately retorted: "The master's reserve is reserved for the dragon king and the dragon son, and in the future, we will not interfere with the river water with their well water, and we will be safe." Wouldn't it be both perfect? ”

A dragon suddenly realized, "If you want to say that, I agree." ”

At this time, the stuffy man led Battle in, and Battle opened his mouth and said, "Lidel, we want to join your Ironwood tribe!" ”

The sullen stared at Battle: "It turns out that you and Hungry said that you were going to fight a battle and then decide the matter after seeing the outcome of the battle, but then you didn't keep quiet, why did you change your mind now?" ”

Battle replied in a loud voice, "So you were bathing in the river, so we didn't want to." Now you have the pentagram sent by the gods, and you have made peace with the god of water, so we want to join your tribe! ”

Sun Yi didn't expect the turtle to lead to such a result, and said, "Battle, if you join us alone, as long as you swear to accept our Heavenly Constitution, I can call the shots." But you're a group of people, so you'd better discuss it first, and then formally apply for it, and we'll have a meeting to vote on it. ”

The stuffy man immediately answered, "That is, you think our tribe can join if you want to?" ”

Battle was a little anxious, "Lidel, I don't understand what you're saying!" ”

Sun Yi patted Battle on the shoulder, "After this battle, let a dragon go to you and talk about it well, you can ask him if you don't understand anything." Now, let's go to the staff and see what battle plan they have! ”

Ancient river diagram with the last turtle

Hetuluo books, all dynasties believe that they are "dragons and horses bear the body, and the turtles are listed on the back", so for many centuries, it has been dressed in a mysterious coat, recognized as the source of Chinese culture through the ages.

As for what Hetu and Luo Shu look like, the text does not say it explicitly, only sporadic words mention that it is a red word.

As:

The Yellow Emperor receives the river map. "Bamboo Book Chronicle": "In the autumn and July of the fiftieth year of the Yellow Emperor, Gengshen, the phoenix bird arrived, and the emperor sacrificed in Luoshui. Note: "The dragon picture is out of the river, the turtle book is out of Luo, and the red text seal character is given to Xuanyuan." ”

Shunde Huanglong negative river map. "Song Shu Fu Ruizhi": "Shun set up the altar in the river, the Yellow Dragon negative map, the picture is thirty-three feet long, nine feet wide, out of the altar, red and green wrong. ”

Cheng Tang to Lode Chiwen. "Song Shu Fu Ruizhi": "Tangdong to Luo, Guanyao Altar, there are black turtles, and red characters. ”

However, according to logic, there should be no words and numbers in the river chart generated before the text, so it is likely to be some "red spots" or "red lines".

So, could the giant turtle characterized by yellow spots be the messenger of Hetu and Luoshu?

Unknown.

One of the largest turtles in the world, the turtle has been in existence for 270 million years, and is a contemporary of the dinosaurs, known as the "giant panda in the water" and "the most beautiful turtle". Surprisingly, the turtle found in East Asia is a close relative of the Euphrates turtle on the other side of the Himalayas.

Many dinosaur fossils have been unearthed in the Yellow River Basin, and a large number of legends have been circulated in the Yellow River.

At present, there are only two surviving turtle individuals in the world. Suzhou Zoo has a male; There is a female in Changsha Zoo, which has been relocated to Suzhou Zoo in 2009 for artificial breeding, but has not been successful so far.

Before the establishment of Suzhou Zoo, there was an ancient funeral home, commonly known as 'Changshan Bureau'. There are gardens in the original Changshan Bureau, dry boats, rockeries, pavilions and ponds, etc., the residents of southern Jiangsu have always had the traditional custom of buying turtles, turtles, fish, etc. to be released in the temple pool, and the existing turtles were released before liberation.

The turtle in Changsha Zoo was exhibited by private traveling animals before liberation, and it remained in the park permanently after the public-private partnership.

In the past, it was said that there were two females and one male in the release pond of Suzhou Xiyuan Temple. In 2007, one of the two Chinese turtle turtles in Suzhou Xiyuan Temple, "Fang Fang", died after more than 400 years of ups and downs. However, the female "Yuanyuan" was not actually observed. The original turtle in Xiyuan Temple was released by Pan Zuyin in the late Qing Dynasty in 1883, a total of 6, and it is said that two or three were eaten by the Japanese in the spring of 1938.

In January 2016, a national treasure turtle in Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi, Vietnam, was confirmed to have passed away. Zoologists believe that the instance is over a hundred years old. Folks believe that the turtle was given the king a sword in the 15th century to expel the invaders of the Ming Dynasty, and after the deed was completed, it was called "return the sword", and died for six centuries.

In January 2007, Changsha Zoo discovered that a turtle in the park was actually a turtle, and after two years of peeling, it was moved to Suzhou Zoo on May 6, 2009 with the help of international organizations to artificially assist in breeding. These two turtles are the only hope for the continuation of this species. "The entire wildlife conservation community held its breath," said Rick Hudson, president of the Turtle and Turtle Survival Alliance, "and has been disappointed ever since." "Every year the female turtle lays eggs, but none of them are fertilized.

In May 2015, a team composed of scientists, veterinarians and zoo managers from many countries conducted artificial sperm collection and insemination for the first time in Suzhou Zoo.

Workers drained the pond where the male turtle was located, and used a net to salvage the 64-kilogram male turtle and place it on stacked car tires. After anesthetizing the male turtle, the zoologist stimulated it with an electric probe, and the zoologist immediately discovered that the stem of the male turtle was damaged.

It turned out that 20 years ago, another turtle was put into the pond where the male turtle was. As a result, the turtle was also male, and the two males fought. The second male turtle died, and the winner's shell was severely damaged and he became a eunuch.

The sperm of the male turtle was extracted by electrical stimulation and the sperm was tested. Eventually, they discovered the good news that these sperm have the ability to reproduce, albeit with lower motility. Gerald Cooklin, program director at the Turtle Survival Alliance, used a fiberoptic endoscope to examine the cloaca of the anesthetized female turtle and determine where the area leading to her fallopian tube was located. Barbara Durrant, director of the reproductive physiology department at the Institute for Conservation Research at the San Diego Zoo, injected the sperm. "It's through a small plastic tube that puts sperm where we think it's right," she said. "Unfortunately, the basic reproductive physiology of turtles and turtles has not been done much before."

The wait began. "No one has done this before, and there may be little hope of success," Mr. Cook said. "But we're all hopeful, and if it doesn't work out this time, we'll definitely try again. We will not despair. ”

This time it didn't work out.

In May 2016, they began a second attempt, which has not yet been successfully reported.

Zoologists are convinced that the turtle was once found in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Red River basin and northern Vietnam.

In fact, due to the massive increase in human activities, the huge demand for turtle shells in traditional Chinese medicine, and China's poor food culture and traditions, all wild large turtles and turtles in China are facing the threat of extinction. Turtles are in the wild, and as long as someone sees them, they will be taken away, eaten or sold. The export direction of turtles and turtles from China's neighboring countries all points to China.

Sun Yi discovered the habitat of the turtle in the reeds of Wolf Mountain in the fifth year of Chongzhen, and hoped that he could save this mysterious species in another space.
