Chapter 437: Star Map

The old peasant gasped for breath, his eyes staring at the ferocious beast less than one step away from him, knowing that he had almost gone to the Hades Hall to report just now.

Dashan carried the sow backwards and pulled it with one hand, and the two hundred catties of things seemed so weightless in his hands.

The old farmer came back to his senses and looked at Cha Wenbin, pointing to the mountain and saying, "What is he doing?" ”

Cha Wenbin smiled and said: "A rough man, he has a little more strength." "My mother-in-law, it's too powerful, I can get you a wild boar belly to eat at night, it's a good thing."

The little pig that was bitten by the dog was taken down the mountain with him, and in the wild, it did not live for more than three days. The old farmer planned to heal it and raise it in his own home, and this thing, if raised well, was no different from a domestic pig.

Before going down the mountain, Cha Wenbin still glanced back, but it was really dark at this moment, and he was so blurry that he could only see a slightly higher bulge.

After going down the mountain, the mountain helped the old farmer clean up together, and it took more than an hour. The best place for this wild boar is the belly, this thing has a miraculous effect on the treatment of old stomach diseases, it has to be stewed, but the taste is a little bitter, this wild boar belly is good to see how many "nails" in the stomach. The so-called "nail" is a kind of thing similar to calluses, which grows in the stomach, and the more "nails" there are, the more replenished the belly is. This is a home remedy in our local area, my father's old stomach disease is to eat this well, and now a wild boar belly has to be sold for 3,000 yuan, which is no longer affordable for ordinary people.

The moment he opened his stomach, the old peasant was stunned, and after half a salary, he shouted: "I got a treasure, I got a treasure!" "Cha Wenbin naturally doesn't understand the doorway here, because there are nine nails in this belly, and they are all the size of copper coins.

Cha Wenbin glanced down and said, "It's calluses." "Because wild boars are very heterogeneous animals, they often swallow something that is too hard to digest, and over time, its stomach will rub against it to form a layer of keratin.

The old farmer carefully cleaned up the filth inside, and he said with some excitement: "This is a baby, it's the first time I've seen so many nails, and a nail can be sold for 200 yuan, and this belly is worth 2,000 yuan." ”

Cha Wenbin smiled: "Then you can keep Ming'er and sell it." ”

The old farmer grinned and said, "This is not good, you young offspring eat more of this, it is good for you." ”

The old farmer cleaned it up by the river, and threw the escaped things into the river, and he felt a hard thing in the stomach, and he felt curious and put it in the river and washed it, it turned out to be an egg-sized ball, which was quite heavy in his hand.

"I said why are there so many nails, stupid pig, you really dare to eat anything." The old farmer threw the ball to the shore and happened to be at Cha Wenbin's feet.

Cha Wenbin seemed to be fine, so he knocked on his toes, this wave didn't matter, and his body squatted down in the next second.

There were many spots and scratches on this spherical object, Cha Wenbin picked it up and put it in the river, rinsed it carefully, and gently wiped off the dirt and water stains on it with his sleeve to completely expose the thing.

At this time, the Oriental Tai Platinum Star had risen, Cha Wenbin touched the ball in his hand and put it in front of his eyes and kept turning towards the star, and suddenly, he felt a burst of white light flash in front of him, and it was just a tremor caused by breathing that made this burst of white light disappear.

Cha Wenbin stared at the glass ball in his hand for a while, and said, "Dashan, go get a few small sticks to make a tripod." ”

Dashan casually found a few small branches and tied them with a rope to complete, Cha Wenbin put the shelf at the door of the yard, on the shelf is the round ball, Cha Wenbin looked up at the sky for a while, and kept turning the ball for a while, until the old farmer let them go to eat inside.

The dinner is very rich, full of farmhouse flavor, the large pieces of wild boar are stewed in clear water, a few side dishes with the old farmer's own rice wine, the three of them eat it is also refreshing. Dashan has a good amount of wine, and he drank it with the old farmer, Cha Wenbin sandwiched a few mouthfuls of small dishes and ate a steamed bun and did not continue to move, he has eaten very little over the years, insisting on being vegetarian.

After three rounds of drinking, the old farmer has become red-faced, and he has begun to talk a lot, the old farmer was a soldier for a few years when he was young, and after he was discharged from the army, he became a forest ranger, and he stayed here for a lifetime.

"I'm old, I can't go, and I'm reluctant to go, and one day I feel like I'm dying, so I dig a grave for myself and burrow into it. Aren't they all cremated now, the person who burned is only the scum, I won't go, and I won't let others go. The old farmer waved the big bowl in his hand and took a sip and said, "I still have to go down to accompany my old woman, it's black, how can she know me......

You do one bowl, I have two bowls, two people ping-pong killed a full pot of rice wine, and when it was completely dark, the old farmer was already unconscious, lying on the table and snoring.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Cha Wenbin and Dashan carried the old farmer into the house, which was very simple, with a bed, two wooden boxes, and some farm tools leaning on the corners, which could be swept at a glance. There is another room in the northwest corner, push it open and take a look, the cobwebs in it can hang on the face, and it is so black that every electricity, and there is a bed, but it is not covered. He is used to sleeping in the wilderness, for Cha Wenbin, this is a luxury villa-level treatment, he went to the pigsty and picked up some hay to spread and let Dashan go to sleep first, he would come to call if there was something, and then close the door and go out by himself.

At night, the mountain air is good, the visibility is high, and the stars are intertwined. Cha Wenbin went to fiddle with the ball again, and the reason why this ball fascinated him so much was because it was a very rare thing, called: Planet Gazing.

The ancients were accustomed to asking the heavens when they were priests or divination, and the so-called asking the heavens was to look at the stars, and the ancients drew a map of the stars in the sky, called the star palace. Astrology is an indispensable knowledge in Taoism, and it is also an extremely profound knowledge, and this knowledge has an ancestor named Chen Zhuo.

Chen Zhuo is a native of Wu State, and it is said that this person summarized the respective systems of the three star officials popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then compiled the stars in the sky into a star catalog with a total of 283 officials and 1464 stars, and then drew this table into a star map. It is said that those who can see through this star chart can measure the past, the future, the fortune of the country, and the destiny of heaven. After the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, this map fell to the people, and finally fell into the hands of Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

When Xiao He saw that Liu Bang had seventy-two black hemorrhoids on his legs, he resolutely decided to follow Liu Bang and help him fight the world. Xiao He admired the art of Huang Lao, that is, the predecessor of modern Taoism, this person was proficient in astrology, he believed that Liu Bang was the incarnation of the seventy-two earths, and was the order of the emperor, so he followed around and gave advice, and was the key person for Liu Bang to succeed. Xiao He's most powerful thing is astrological divination, Liu Bang is extremely scheming, and after taking the throne, he immediately got rid of Han Xin and Yingbu and other princes with different surnames to consolidate his power. One of the reasons why Xiao He was able to save his life and continue to be reused in the future is that he gave his star map, Xiao He was just a strategist without the star map, and he no longer had the ability to divinate the sky, and later this star map was destroyed by Liu Bang, so far, the complete star map has been lost since then.

And what Cha Wenbin has learned is only the simplest three walls and twenty-eight nights in this star map, but dozens of stars, using this kind of astrological Taoist priests can already tell divination, predict good fortune and evil, if you can get all the star maps, it is not impossible to break the destiny of heaven!

There are countless dots and lines densely distributed on this ball, which seem to be chaotic, but Cha Wenbin has accurately locked the location of the twenty-eight constellations, and the other dots and lines, if you look closely, you can find that there are patterns in them. Now, he is very sure that the ball is a star map, because whenever the topmost point is aligned with his star position, the starlight can penetrate directly from that point to the ground, just as a laser pointer penetrates a glass ball.

In the eyes of Taoist practitioners, everything that can shine is energetic, and the natural world is nothing more than the sun, moon and stars, so the sun and moon have always been regarded as the power of yin and yang alternating changes, and those who can grasp these two powers in the past are legendary immortal-level figures. And people who can use starlight are even rarer, because starlight is beyond the sun and moon, and it belongs to the more distant heavens!

Cha Wenbin kept turning the ball, and from time to time there was light penetrating to the ground, every time he determined a position, it was equivalent to reading one more star, so such a comparison, plus time, familiar with the 1464 stars is not an impossible task.
