Chapter 183: The Conjecture of the Oil-Paper Umbrella
Everyone was naturally amazed when they heard this, and Wu Xing asked again: "Then is there any record of the time interval and number of fire meteors falling?"
"There's a lot more about fire meteors. Bao Da began to put away the animal skin and said: "Since the beginning of the pre-sage period, there will be fire meteors coming to the Starfall Continent every year, and the small fire meteors are usually dozens, and the large fire meteors are even hundreds or thousands, which are called meteor showers. At that time, the human race was still struggling with demon beasts to compete for living space and resources under the leadership of the ancestors, and the harm that the fire meteor could cause was not as great as it is now. Now a single meteor can usually wipe out a village or even a town entirely!"
After Bao Da sighed, he put the animal skin back into his bamboo cage, and the rest of the people turned their heads to look at Wu Xing in unison, with a playful smile on their faces, all waiting for Wu Xing's "supplement".
"You should have all tried to go out on a rainy day, right? Sometimes in the event of a strong wind and rain, you have to push the oil-paper umbrella obliquely out into the wind......." Wu Xing took over the conversation casually and said: "And when the oil-paper umbrella is cut by a foreign object, the manic wind may continue to expand the opening." ”
Except for Bagen's thoughtful expression, the rest of the people were at a loss, completely unaware of what Wu Xing meant by suddenly proposing the oil-paper umbrella.
"Don't you think that the ladder is a bit like an 'oil-paper umbrella' in the Starfall Continent?" Wu Xing spread his hands and said, "I'm done 'adding' it." ”
The analogy that Wu Xing said was a bit nondescript, but the sudden expressions that everyone revealed one after another also showed that everyone finally understood what Wu Xing was adding.
"Do you mean...... The Heavenly Court is equivalent to an 'oil-paper umbrella' that was propped up when it just rained? In fact, it intercepted the falling fire meteors on the Starfall Continent?"
"Emperor Wenqu and Emperor Wuqu started a war, the Heavenly Court was damaged, and the 'oil paper umbrella' was cut?"
"The mouth became bigger and bigger, and the giant stone tablets began to break away and fall one after another, so the heavenly court disintegrated, and later even the heavenly ladder flew lower and lower......."
Inspired by Wu Xing's whimsical and unbelievable "oil paper umbrella", everyone discussed a few words.
"What are you thinking about all day long?" Qin Lan glanced at Wu Xing and teased: "In addition to the 'oil paper umbrella', do you need to 'supplement'?"
Wu Xing smiled and said: "Actually, when I saw a large array composed of flocculated dragon armor in the West Wind Capital, I felt that the dragon armor and the giant stone tablet of the heavenly ladder still have something in common in terms of movement mode. Those giant stone tablets may be equivalent to the 'oil paper umbrella' of the heavenly court, and when the fire meteor strikes, the fire meteor that has slipped through the net will be solved by the gods with their own star soldiers......"
"I heard that the First Emperor of the Ages inflicted heavy damage on the Golden Horde Totem Star Venerables and the Shaman Protector of the Golden Family on the defense line of the Great Wall, and it was through the weapon array that he attracted fire meteors and carried out precise strikes on the enemy's strong men. After the collapse of the empire established by the First Emperor of the Ages, this magical array that could guide the fire meteor was later divided up by the Seven Kingdoms one after another, and transported to their respective capitals to rebuild the large array, which was most likely to prevent their own capital from being attacked by the fire meteor. I'm right?"
Wu Xing's last sentence, the question was naturally Bao Da. As an inner disciple of Buqifang, he naturally knows far more about the Great Array of the Capital of the Seven Kingdoms than outsiders. The arrays that were successively dismantled from the defense line of the Great Wall were designed and built by the city order of Buqifang.
In fact, this kind of instrument array that can guide the fire meteor, next to the huge stone tablet of the "Archer Chapter" under the archer's arrow house, there is a star stone pattern with a star with a decoration for the same purpose, which is called the "test arrow star stone" by the archer, which is used to test the star arrow of the sun-shooting realm, and the purpose of the ornament is also to attract the fire meteor and use the fire meteor as an arrow target. And the "Test Arrow Star Stone" is the pivot of the Arrow Array.
Regarding the identity of the archery and the closed disciples of the archer, only the archer, Bagen, Wu Xing, and Qin Lan knew, and Wu Xing naturally couldn't use the arrow house weapon array to explain his conjecture, but could only use hearsay about the origin of the Seven Kingdoms Great Array for circumstantial evidence.
Bao Da shook his head and said, "I really don't know what ....... you have in your head all day long."
The rest of the people other than Wu Xing heard the song and knew the meaning of the song, so they coaxed, said in unison, and added the second half of the sentence: "What are you thinking?"
However, perhaps limited by the door rules, Bao Da did not explicitly deny it, which in a sense is equivalent to acquiescence, which is also the ultimate he can do.
The Seven Royal Families divided the Array for their own selfish interests and abandoned the entire Great Wall defense line, which caused the situation of the barbarian cavalry often entering the northern countries, causing thousands of casualties each time, countless families were displaced, and countless property and food crops were lost. The saying of "demolishing the Great Wall to prevent his own capital" can only be Wu Xing's own "blind guess", and if it spreads, it will inevitably cause a great blow to the prestige of the Seven Royal Families. It is estimated that it is much easier for the Seventh Royal Family to deal with a "rumor-monger" like Wu Xing than it is to pinch an ant to death.
The old story about the partition of the Great Wall Instrument Array has long been buried in the dust of history.
The crowd ended this somewhat heavy topic in the form of a joke.
"We should be about to reach the 'cross slope' in front of us. Qin Lan pointed to the market with a faint outline in front of her, looked at Brother Pole and Poisonous Weed, and asked, "I don't know what the two of you are thinking about?" Do you continue to do bounty tasks to raise bridge tolls, or join the Shunfeng Hunting Group to become an 'auxiliary wing'?"
The so-called "auxiliary wings" are foreign aid hired and recruited by the dart bureau or hunting group. The biggest feature of "wings" is that they are time-limited, they are not strictly speaking official members of the board or hunting group, but only serve as temporary members for a certain period of time. To put it more plainly, the "auxiliary wing" is a short-term job.
Headhunter is a very high-risk profession, although Brother Pole's grade is not too high, but his advantage is not only that he is a star thorn, but more importantly, he has entered the Great Rift Valley area several times and completed bounties or headhunting tasks, and the notes he showed for the settlement of those tasks cannot be faked.
Starthorn always has an apex for hiding or discovering whereabouts. The previous information that the Sanying Hunting Group was a certain force in the Great Rift Valley was provided by Brother Pole. There is a real old man in a hunting group, and its significance and importance are naturally self-evident. are all novices, and in this regard, it is an obvious shortcoming of the Shunfeng hunting group.
From the land of Bashu, you can enter the eastern area of the Great Rift Valley by detouring to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and if you choose the current route of the Shunfeng Hunting Group, you can enter and exit the Central Rift Valley from the "cross slope" at the junction of Hanzhong County and the Later Jin Kingdom in the west, which is also one of the options for many star kings, headhunters, and hunting groups.
