Chapter 16 The Calendar
The first layer of the fairy road is the "Gate of All Wonders", which also connects countless planets. www.biquge.info However, this weight is generally only used for intraplanetary navigation.
Amazingly, the exit of the Gate of Wonders can be on any planet, but ordinary planets cannot enter the Gate of Wonders. If you want to enter the gate of all wonders, you can only go through the fairy gate.
Xianmen exist only within the gravitational sphere of planets that have or have had life, and are usually affected by moons. Except here, there is no other place to enter the fairy road.
Take Shenzhou Houtu as an example, if you want to go from Shenzhou Houtu to any planet in your own galaxy, it is very simple, but if you come back, you can only come back by yourself.
After Tiling and Red Lotus entered the Immortal Path, it meant that they were ready to resist. Once they leave the Immortal Road, they will have to fight to the end here. And they don't have time to change tactics.
At the speed of a starship, a regular voyage within a star system would take days or even dozens of days.
Soon, the spiritual consciousness of the Heavenly Chosen Divine Monarch felt that he was leaving this "face" in an inexplicable direction. He ascended to a higher place. The entire Celestial Planetary System was reflected in his consciousness with a faster-than-light vision, giving him an appearance that was not visible to him.
The Heavenly Chosen Divine Monarch's mind gradually sank.
This is the feeling that every intelligent creature will have when crossing the immortal path.
No matter how great the achievements of the Shenzhou Human Race are, no matter how thick the history of the Demon Race is, no matter how tragic the Dragon Race's 200 million years of struggle and breakthrough are, after seeing this immortal road, their pride will be gone.
Because, as long as they are still relying on the immortal path to cross the starry sky, it means that they are not the pioneers of this universe, but only the inheritors who continue to move forward along the path of the pioneers.
Wistful, awe-inspiring, and even a little ...... Panicky.
This is how Xianlu feels.
Those transcendent ancient immortals and celestials did not leave many traces in the known world, but they did not need any monuments either. This Heavenly Way, which has existed to this day, is evidence of their existence.
But is such a great being also drowned in the darkness of the universe?
Nobody knows.
Then, the starship shook and left the Gate of Wonder.
Now, they are already in the asteroid belt.
Half a second later, a message came.
"Let's get started. ”
This message was actually sent half a second ago. It's just that the caller is half a light-second away, so the delay is unprovoked.
"Okay. ”
......................................................................................................................................................................................................
The first step in the plan to build a defense line in the asteroid belt is a survey. The two starships scan the asteroid belt in two directions. The starship "Wuxiang" is surveying Tianwu and observing the asteroid belt from a long distance. Finally, the data of the three parties are summarized to make a three-dimensional star map.
This step alone lasts a few days.
Before the two starships converged, Tianwu ushered in a sunrise.
While the fireball jumped out from the horizon in the east, it was accompanied by two bright small fireballs, which looked about the size of a mung bean, and the brightness was not inferior to that of the sun.
Even supernovae don't necessarily have that brightness.
"In the ancient mythology of the Wu people, those two small bright stars are the essence of the sun. Ye Moli said: "The 'two ends of taking the sun' in the Wu clan's cultivation are these two stars. They felt that they were the two ends of the 'rope' of the power of the true yang, and to grasp them was to grasp the essence of the power of the true yang. ”
And Chen Feng and Xue Bufan followed him and listened to his explanation. Hearing this, Xue Bufan asked, "Among their cultivation methods, is there one that specifically induces the star power of these two stars?"
Through cultural reversal, this is also one of Xue Bufan's professional fields.
And he took Chen Feng to understand Tianwu's calendar because of this.
The calendar and spiritual practice go hand in hand. This is not because of the power of the "calendar" itself, but because if you cultivate according to the calendar, the internal circulation of the body will be closer to the great heaven and earth, and the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy will be higher. And the calendar will also reflect some civilized thoughts.
At least in the primitive stage, the calendar is a very meaningful natural law that can be combined with the practice of recourse.
Understanding the Wu calendar is also part of the plan.
"Definitely. Ye Moli said: "I just asked the chief of the Wu clan about their calendar and astronomy, and I also know some about the relevant cultivation. ”
Chen Feng was curious: "In our opinion, what are those two highlights?"
"Gas giants. Xue Bufan replied: "Those are two gas giants whose size is close to that of Jupiter. The planet under our feet also happens to be the third planet of the sun, but the two stars in its orbit are not rocky planets, but gas giants. ”
Chen Feng exclaimed: "Can you still ...... So?"
"In fact, among the known exoplanets, there are many examples of giant planets being closer to their stars than rocky planets. Ye Moli shook his head: "Everything in the homeland may not work in other worlds. ”
"Anything else?"
"Well, their lunar calendar is more complicated. Because of the interference between the two Taiyin stars and the shadow of Tianqi itself, the law of the moon in Tianqi is very complicated, so I am still sorting out their lunar calendar. But to be sure, they don't have the concept of a 'month' like us Terrans - you know no, two moons completely obscured at the same time happens every few years. If they use this as a sign of a 'month', then they may have a month longer than a year. ”
"And then there's the stars...... Because the two moons are so bright, it is not so easy to observe the stars here. The two moons also appear to be larger than the moon in Shenzhou, occupying about one-sixth of the sky, and with the moonlight, ...... In short, it's a word. Their observations of the stars are very primitive. ”
"Then, the calendar they now use in conjunction with the calendar seems to have been based on those two gas giants...... I can't say what I call it - a double planetary calendar? It feels like a new term. There has never been such a strange calendar in China. ”
Xue Bufan had a vague headache. He said, "This calendar is a bit too complicated......
"Actually, it's really terrifying for you to use our numbers...... Ye Moli took out a rope with thirteen knots and a loop on it: "If you use knotted rope to express it...... It doesn't seem difficult to understand. ”
"I feel like I understand......" Tatsukaze took the rope a little confused.
"I'm going to continue measuring the ecliptic of the sun today, if it's all right......"
Xue Bufan patted Ye Moli's shoulder: "Okay, you can go." ”
After Ye Mo left, Xue Bufan said in a low voice: "This Wu clan is really ...... It's weird. ”
"A completely different path of development. Chen Feng also shook his head.
In addition to practicing knotting, they have now begun to collect other information about the Wu clan. This is not surprising, at the beginning, the dragon clan powerhouses were equivalent to carving the entire Wu clan knotting rope record "big dictionary" in their minds, they had already understood all the knotting methods that did not involve spells, but they were not familiar with this foreign memory, so they couldn't use it.
It's a bit like "forgetting". This ability has been engraved in their minds for a long time, and they have just forgotten how to use it.
It's naturally much easier to pick it up again than to learn it from scratch.
And one night in the sky is about two days in Shenzhou. Xue Bufan and Chen Feng basically practiced "reading and writing" this night, and they already had a basic grasp of this aspect. Especially Xue Bufan, he came two days earlier than Chen Feng and practiced for two more days.
Now, they're adept at using knots to describe complex meanings — about the equivalent of graduating from elementary school.
In order to further improve their skills, they began to try to learn about other cultures of the Wu people.
"Since their understanding of the sun, moon and stars is like this......" Xue Bufan thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked Chen Feng: "Senior Brother Chen, what are you still thinking?"
"They call those two planets 'the two ends of the sun', instead of saying that they are the two attendants of the sun god, the servant gods, and the god generals, which means that they are not based on Shinto...... "When he was in Shenjing, Chen Feng also made up for Shinto knowledge, and in addition, he also shared the small piece of Xiandao book burning compendium in Wang Qi's hand, so he naturally knew a lot of Shinto things.
There are also some Shinto monks in Shenzhou who call themselves "Sun God" and "Great Sun True Monarch".
Xue Bufan said: "Do you doubt the ...... of the gods in their concepts?"
"You mean the dragon clan, right?" Chen Feng said, "They call themselves 'knots of wisdom', just like our human race calls themselves 'primates of all things'. That is, their concept of Shinto is very indifferent. And in their stories, there is also a very interesting point. After learning the memories of the Wu people, the gods were very happy, so they gave the mortal world to the Wu people, promising the Wu people to be the king of the mortal world forever - the status of the 'gods' and the 'Wu people' is actually equal. This is never the case in Shinto. ”
"However, they also seem to have mentioned ...... 'gods'......" Xue Bufan recalled: "Well, could it be that there were a lot of dragons who came at that time, and what purpose did they come for?"
"It is almost certain that the dragons learned something from the Wu tribe, so they promised to protect the Wu people forever, which may be the legend of 'promising the Wu people to be the king of the mortal world forever'...... The so-called 'mortal world' does not refer to the vast universe outside the immortal sky, but to the heavens. Chen Feng replied: "Tianwu is the name of the dragon clan, and the planet is our cognitive ......."
Xue Bufan nodded: "Let's go, let's go and learn about their understanding of medicine." (To be continued.) )
