Chapter 65: Decryption!
At this time, in Runan County, Liu Zhi was in a daze at a piece of paper full of words. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The content on this piece of paper is the text on the compass on his body, which was translated by a scribe who knew the Chu script for most of the day.
According to the traditional Chinese order of the heavenly and earthly branches, it should be the ten heavenly branches in the order of A, B, C, D, E, G, XIN, NON, and Gui, and the twelve earthly branches of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.
The heavenly stem is inside, and the earthly branch is outside, forming the basic structure of a compass (the author is scribbling, don't be more serious), and the heavenly stem and earthly branch form the ancient chronological calendar. The 10 stems and the 12 branches are matched in turn to form 60 basic units, and the two cooperate with each other in a fixed order to form the discipline of the cadres and branches. According to this discipline, not only feng shui divination can be carried out, but also good luck and evil can be predicted, and the heavenly opportunities can be spied on.
One of the most widely used is timekeeping.
According to the archaeological knowledge of later generations, the Ganzhi was used to record the days at least from the beginning of the Yin Shang Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Twelve Chen (Earth Branch) Chronicle Month was adopted, and the Twelve Chen Chronicle system had been adopted by the Western Han Dynasty at the latest. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the dry branch was used to chronicle the year. After the Tang Dynasty, the name of the month of the five dynasties almanac began to be annotated with the dry branch, and the Northern Song Dynasty combined the ten dry and twelve chen with the chronicle, and the year, month and day were all marked with the dry branch, which is the dry branch calendar (Jiazi calendar), which is a kind of solar calendar.
Nowadays, the traditional Chinese calendar is a lunar calendar, and the biggest difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar is that one takes the sun as a reference, and the earth rotates around the sun for a year, while the other takes the moon as a reference, and the moon orbits the earth for a month, both of which are twelve months, but there is a lot of difference in time.
And Liu Zhi's compass also has a heavenly and terrestrial branch on it, but it is the other way around, which makes him very distressed, and he can't understand the mystery for a while.
However, there is one thing that is very strange, that is, after he came to this world, he found that the compass was actually moving clockwise, and before he crossed it, the compass had always moved counterclockwise.
This gave Liu Zhi a hint of inspiration, is this really a space-time machine that can take people through time and space?
He hurriedly had someone bring a copy of the yellow calendar, and then began to study it.
Since the sexagenary cycle has been combined for sixty years, Their order is 1.Jiazi 2.Yichou 3.Bingyin 4.Ding Mao 5.Wuchen 6.Jisi 7.Gengwu 8.Xin Wei 9.Renshen 10.癸酉 11.Jiaxu 12.Yihai 13.Bingzi 14.Ding Chou 15.Wuyin 16.Jimao 17.Gengchen 18.Xin Si 19.Renwu 20.癸未21.Jiashen 22.Yiyou 23.Bingxu 24.Ding Hai 25.Wuzi 26.Jichou 27.Gengyin 28.Xin Mao 29.Renchen 30.癸巳 31.Jiawu 32.Yiwei 33.Bingshen 34.Ding You 35.Wuxu 36.Jihai 37.Gengzi 38.Xin Chou 39.Ren Yin 40.癸卯 41.Jiachen 42.Yisi 43Bingwu 44.Ding Wei 45.Wushen 46.Jiyou 47.Gengxu 48.Xinhai 49.Renzi 50.Guichou 51.Jiayin 52.Yimao 53.Bingchen 54.Ding Ji 55.Wuwu 56.Jiwei 57.Gengshen 58.Xinyou 59.Renxu 60.Guihai.
And every 60 years, the year of that year will be repeated again, for example, 1894 is the year of the First Sino-Japanese War, when the First Sino-Japanese naval war broke out, and 60 years later, one hundred and twenty years later, there is another year of the First Sino-Japanese War, the time is 1954 and 2014.
This year is the end of Ding, so what year is 2016?
Liu Zhi was a little confused, he didn't know that the Western Era and the sexagenary branch could be converted to each other, and there were special formulas, which he had not studied, so at this time, he could only calculate on the straw paper according to a unit every sixty years.
According to the formula for calculating the annual dry expenditure, the year 2016 should be calculated like this (double digit at the end of the century + 3)-12*n = annual expenditure, and the result of this calculation is that 2016 is the year of Bingshen, and there is an interval of 30 60 years between 2016 and 191, and there are 25 more years.
These Liu Zhi can be calculated, so after he made some calculations on the yellow calendar, he finally knew that 2016 was the year of Bingshen.
But here comes the problem again, there are thirty Bingshen years in between, even if this compass can be used, but if he wants to go back, if he is unlucky, won't he have to try thirty times before he can succeed?
Suddenly, Liu Zhi gave up the idea of trying rashly, if he accidentally crossed the wrong one, wouldn't it be very cost-effective to lose his life, there must be something else in it that has not been discovered!
Soon, he noticed something strange, there was a very hidden hand on the compass, like the second hand on the clock of later generations, but this needle did not seem to turn quickly, but clinged to the needle of the stem branch, moving as it moved.
He tried it and was amazed to find that the needle could leave the plane of the compass and stay within 180 degrees.
Liu Zhi has been in this world for more than half a year, and the pointer of the Ganzhi is only a little bit understood, while the pointer of the Tianzhi is still not moving.
He hurriedly asked someone to take a compass from the end of the Han Dynasty, the text of this compass was very similar to the compass in his hand, but it looked a little similar to a sundial in appearance, because there was a vertical pointer on it.
Looking at this vertical pointer, Liu Zhi was a little stunned, his mind was spinning rapidly, and many thoughts flashed in an instant, and suddenly he realized that this thing should be a reference system, it must be a space composed of three straight lines, and then use that small needle to determine the final time.
He was so excited that he wanted to return to his time at once, so he quickly turned all four needles according to the results of his calculations, and just as he was adjusting the little needle to what he thought was the right time, suddenly there was a turbulence in front of his eyes, and he sucked his whole body in.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Zhicai woke up leisurely, it doesn't matter if he doesn't wake up, but after waking up, he was startled, there was actually a white-fronted tiger in front of him, who was staring at himself vigilantly at this time.
The hairs on Liu Zhi's body stood up in fright, this is definitely not his original era, not to mention the tiger in that era, even the wolf was killed, he was in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to stand up and escape, because the tiger has four legs, he only has two legs, and he can't run away from the tiger, and he doesn't know martial arts, he can't fight the tiger like Wu Song, so it's unrealistic to want to fight the tiger.
This tiger looks very strong, at least more than three meters long, and it is estimated that it weighs at least six or seven hundred pounds, the strength of such a huge tiger is very amazing, not to mention slapping a strong tree, but it is easy to slap down a person, and the tiger eats a very large amount, and it can eat eighty to one hundred and twenty pounds of meat in one meal, which is almost the weight of all the soft tissues and muscles on the body of an adult male.
The tiger looked at it for a long time, and finally found that this thing was not a threat to himself, although Liu Zhi appeared out of thin air before, scaring it enough, but the tiger is a very intelligent animal after all, after a period of observation, he has found that Liu Zhi is not a threat to himself, and it may be delicious food.
"Take me back!"
Liu Zhi shouted, and instantly dialed the four broken needles to the position before the crossing, and he was instantly sucked in by the door of time and space, and before leaving, he seemed to hear a shout from outside: "Well, you big worm, come and taste your Grandpa Wu Song's power today!" ”
