Chapter 49: Day and Night
"When should we put away the night?" the Five Emperors and the other three gods asked Taiyi.
Taiyi looked up, because the palace was directly below the Purple Pole Star, and the two stars of the Taiyin Sun were surrounded by the left and right poles, so he turned his gaze, calculated a little in his heart, and said to everyone: "Let's take the degree of the rotation of the sun and the moon as the standard, the half degree of the day is bright, and the half degree of the moon is dark, so how about it?"
When Qing Ling heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he looked up at the sun and moon in the distance, and silently calculated in his heart, and found that this method was extremely simple. Because the sun and moon themselves rotate at a constant speed around the central axis of the purple pole, it is naturally very accurate to use this as a degree.
Ling Yun also got the news of Taiyi through spiritual thinking, and silently calculated in his heart, the sun and moon traveled three hundred and sixty degrees per week, the sun and the moon traveled one time as one light and dark, and the three hundred and sixty degrees per week was three hundred and sixty degrees of light and dark, and the time scale was extremely close to a year.
Ling Yun then interjected on the side and said, "In that case, we might as well call half of the bright time day, and the dark period of time called night, how about it?"
"Day and night?" Taiyi and the Fifth Emperor couldn't help but think in their hearts when they heard Ling Yun say this.
Several people discussed with each other, time passed unconsciously, looked up at the degree of the sun and the moon, and when everyone was on time, they ordered their subordinate night goddesses to put away the night, and in an instant, the whole earth reappeared with brilliance.
The sun, moon and stars reappeared in the sky, and infinite brilliance shone on the entire earth. The retracted night curtain shrank into a black ball, each suspended above the sky, and disappeared into the vast sky.
Because it was the first time that it had been running day and night, it required the careful management of the nine Gods. In the back, as long as the nine night goddesses urge the divine power, they can urge the night to spread out, as long as they ensure that there are no mistakes at the moment.
Because of Ling Yun's statement earlier, Tai Yi immediately pulled Ling Yun to discuss together: "Just now you said that the light and dark scale is called day and night, is there anything in it?"
The corners of Ling Yun's mouth twitched, how could he tell him that this was his name in his previous life? So the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said vaguely: "The word day is the ruler at the top, and the word is Dan at the bottom, and the ruler is always the beginning, starting with the Dan." The word night is like a canopy of heaven covering the head, and people and things inhabit it. ”
When Taiyi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart that there is no such form of word in the red book and jade characters?
Seeing Taiyi's expression pondering and meditating, Ling Yun couldn't help but say in his heart, "It's broken!" His mouth was bald, and he actually said the words of his previous life.
Seeing Taiyi and the five emperors' puzzled eyes, Ling Yun's heart was racing.
At this time, Ling Yun's heart moved, and a red book jade character suddenly flew out from the mud pill palace, and this red book jade character was exactly the dark avenue. Ling Yun looked at this red book jade character, his heart moved, urging his divine power, and a red book jade character appeared in his palm.
Seeing Ling Yun's movements, Qing Lingshi and the other five emperors and the three Heavenly Lords didn't know what he was going to do, so they quietly watched Ling Yun's movements.
Ling Yun looked at this red book jade character, his heart moved, extracted a dark origin in the night, and threw it into the red book jade character.
As the dark origin was invested in the jade characters, I saw that the red book jade characters condensed by divine power suddenly squirmed and changed. Ling Yun stretched out his hand and kept moving, and from this red book and jade character, it was like peeling off a cocoon, dismantling and evolving dozens of characters such as black, dark, night, night, rest, hiding, resting, sleeping, and convergence.
Seeing these characters, Ling Yun could feel that there were many mysteries contained in them, although they were not as fundamental to the Great Dao as the Red Book and Jade Characters, but they could also explain the branches of the Great Dao.
Because these characters are based on the red script and jade characters, they also have magical powers, and they are called by Ling Yun - Innate Divine Script.
These innate divine characters are much simpler than the red book jade characters created from the chaotic qi, and they can also be used as talismans, which can be quickly mastered compared to the complicated and difficult red book jade characters.
When he arrived here, Ling Yun said to Taiyi and the Five Emperors: "These are some divine texts that I have dismantled and evolved from the red book and jade characters, and I have named them Innate Divine Texts, how about you come and take a look?"
As he spoke, he passed these innate divine texts that were dismantled and evolved from the red book and jade characters to Taiyi and the Five Emperors respectively.
"It's really wonderful!" Taiyi and the Five Emperors are both characters who know the red script and jade characters, and when they saw the innate divine texts passed by Ling Yun, they immediately knew the subtleties of these innate divine texts. Even Yun Zhongjun also felt that these innate divine texts were very wonderful, and they were vaguely incredibly wonderful.
Among them, the night word is also seen in the eyes of everyone, this night word is really as Ling Yun said, vaguely like a canopy, covering the head, under which there are living beings and things hidden and nurtured, there is a sense of hiding and resting.
Seeing the word 'night' in the innate divine text, Taiyi and the Qingdi sighed: "You are a god who is really exquisite, and you can actually disassemble and evolve the red book and jade characters, this night character is indeed in line with the mystery of darkness!"
Ling Yun couldn't help but sweat in his heart and smiled. Xin said: "You say that I am clever, but you don't know that I only put this title on the heads of light and darkness because I called it so in my previous life!"
At this time, Qing Lingshi glanced at Ling Yun meaningfully, and he didn't say anything.
Taiyi looked at the dozens of characters, and his heart couldn't help but move, vaguely seemed to have some inspiration, but the aura flashed away, and he didn't think of anything for a while.
At this time, Ling Yun felt embarrassed on the side, so he interrupted and said, "Since the scale of day and night operation has been set, has His Highness Taiyi set a larger or smaller time scale?"
was interrupted by Ling Yun, and Taiyi forgot about Fang Cai's flash of inspiration.
Hearing Ling Yun say this, Taiyi looked around, pondered slightly, and then pondered and said: "I take the sun and moon for one day and night, then the sun and the moon travel three hundred and sixty degrees as a circle, and add five degrees to the circle, which is the five stars of the five younger brothers, which is recorded as three hundred and sixty-five degrees, and three hundred and sixty-five degrees as a year." How?"
"Not bad!" the Five Emperors and the three Gods praised one after another. It's said that this method is wonderful!
When Ling Yun heard this, he thought silently in his heart, this is okay, but in this way, there will be less time measurement of the month and hour. However, the operation of the heavens and the earth is different from that of the later generations, which naturally leads to a difference from the measurement methods of the later generations, and perhaps new measurement methods will naturally appear in the future.
However, since it is too certain to place a larger measurement than a day, there should be a smaller measurement. Ling Yun asked how to measure a time shorter than day and night.
After thinking about it, he said, "I have divided the day and night into twelve equal parts, counting them as twelve hours, six hours of the day, and six hours of the night, so that we can get a shorter time than the day and the night!"
In this way, the measurement method of the year and day is complete, and there is no difference except for the calculation of one month less.
