Chapter 143: "Backgammon"

"In the range of 10 degrees of the 'five star gathering', the probability of its occurrence can be calculated, the folk astronomy history researcher Mr. Zhang Peiyu in the book "Cutting the Celestial Phenomena and the Five Stars of the Year Ding" article, the data provided show that the five stars converge within the range of 10 degrees, only nine times in the past 6,000 years, and it takes an average of 666.7 years to occur once, which is similar to "Mencius" "a thousand years will have a sage" and "Tianguanshu" "Fu Tianyun...... The statement "Great Changes in a Thousand Years" is consistent, and it also shows that the determiners of "Polar Five Stars" and "Five Stars Gathering" in ancient times hoped that human society would change in a thousand years. The truth is that the various dynasties of the Chilan Continent, in addition to the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, which lasted for tens of millions of years, the Xia and Shang dynasties lasted about a thousand years, and the history of the Zhou Dynasty was even longer, reaching seven or eight thousand years. ”

"Two young people, whether it is 'five-star gathering' or 'five-star gathering', must not talk nonsense everywhere, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble, be careful that the wall has ears, it is not good to be heard by people with a heart. ”

The long-bearded old man said leisurely.

"Yes, this one must be careful. Obtaining the definition of 'Five Star Gathering' according to the 'Five Stars of the North Pole' is a sensitive matter that can only be understood but not spoken, because most of the history of the Tang Dynasty was in the period of dynastic rule, and it was impossible for astrologers in the dynasty or in the opposition to directly declare or write the definition of 'Five Star Gathering', otherwise they would be punished for exposing the fate of the royal family of the dynasty, so this special knowledge can only be obtained through personal study, or obtained from the master of the dark room. ”

"In addition to political dynasties, there are also cultivators in the world, they are very powerful existences, and dynasties are not too forced to instill or rewrite history. Therefore, the special knowledge of 'Five Stars Gathering' cannot be interrupted because it is monopolized by a certain royal family until it is brought to the grave. Because astrologers in the dynasty can pass on this special knowledge to their new peers by defecting to the king in the wilderness. Or, through the opportunity, the definition of 'Five Star Gathering' will be passed down from the Xiuzhen giant. ”

The Rat Beard Monk casually looked around and said softly.

Due to speculation, the three of them returned to the dinner table, and this time sat down together at the original table of the bearded old man.

Monk Defeat and Rat Whisker moved the dishes and food slightly.

After thinking about it for a while, he still moved his hands and feet, took out the roast beef and roast beef leg in a small space, and the spirit wine Black Beauty Wine, Shenlong Drunkenness, Quasi-Spirit Wine Overlord Flame Wine, Xianji Drunkenness, and Da Hong Pao Wine, and ate and drank with the bearded old man and the rat-bearded monk.

It's not that he wants to deliberately show it in front of outsiders, but it's that he can't eat the drinks and food outside.

"Little brother, this wine of yours is a good wine. Dude, I haven't had such a good wine in 60 years. Thank you so much for your generosity and giving you a drink. ”

There was a spirit wine in front of him, and the bearded old man couldn't help but be greedy. Although he didn't know what kind of wine it was, he knew it wasn't a bad drink.

Because as a half-drunkard, he has been drinking for 60 years, and he still determines the quality of the wine.

"Oh, yes. This is a friend of mine who bought it from Kangcheng Hongguxuan Commercial Bank, he didn't say, I didn't ask, what kind of wine is this, it feels numb, and it is passable. ”

In order to lose his identity and not be leaked, he pretended to tell a beautiful lie.

In fact, now, Kangcheng Hongguxuan Commercial Bank really has spirit wine black beauty wine, Shenlong drunkenness, quasi-spirit wine Overlord Flame Wine, Xianji Drunk, and Da Hong Pao Wine are sold, but the price is a little high.

"Little brother, what you say is not right. If this fine wine is still passable, the world's fine wine can be poured into the big rivers and rivers, and all of them will be fed to Wang Ba. ”

The Rat Whisker raised his glass and touched each other.

"Yes, good wine is good wine, you see I drank it, full of spiritual power, although I have great stamina, I am not drunk. It's not just a mortal thing. ”

The bearded old man squinted.

"This wine, I don't think it's a traditional soju, it should be a spirit wine, and it's the first time I've drunk a spirit wine, thank you, I'm lucky to drink the spirit wine. ”

Monk Rat continued.

"By the way, you just said that the 'Five Stars Gathering' has an ulterior secret history, how can you see it?"

In order to divert the topic, people think too much about the origin or origin of the wine, and cleverly re-lead the topic to the origin of the "five-star gathering".

Originally, the rat-bearded monk and the bearded old man didn't want to continue, but with the spirit wine to drink and the spirit meat to eat, they were not so restrained and cautious. Anyway, he is a person who cultivates the truth, and he is not afraid of the dynasty.

The bearded old man thought for a while, and this time he took the initiative to say: "This matter has to start from hundreds of millions of years ago." On a day of 90 million years before the Great Lan Dynasty, the 'Five Stars Gathering', that is, the five stars, converged at dawn within the 4.5 degree celestial zone on the eastern horizon, within the range of 'Muroju'. The history of this 'Five Star Gathering' incident is not clearly stated, because history is written by the victors, and the victors will hide the facts that are unfavorable to them. The history books may be based on the words "Yu Shi five stars are like a bead, Bingbing is like a continuous bi", "five stars are gathered together, usurped into it", "Han Xun kills the phase", "(Han Xun) war Ge Xia life" and other words allude to the five-star gathering, the consequence is that that year, the tribal leader Han Xun killed the tribal alliance leader Xia Houxiang, and the following year Han Xun came to power and ruled for 4,000 years. ”

After saying this, the bearded old man couldn't help but sigh for a while.

"The 'Five Stars Gathering' incident in the first 90 million years of the Dalan Yuan Dynasty is inseparable from the birth of the traditional chess game "Gomoku" in the Tang Dynasty. ”

The bearded old man continued.

"'Gomoku' is a new kind of chess game created by using Go chess equipment (referring to the chessboard and chess pieces) and the knowledge of 'Five Star Gathering', which stipulates that the winner is the one who first connects the five chess pieces in a straight line, and its birth time is 90 million years before the Dalan Dynasty. ”

"According to the literature, Go was born in the Yaoshun era, so the absolute age of the birth of Go is from 90 million years before the Great Lan Yuan to 100 million years before the Great Lan Yuan, and it was born in the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, that is, the upper limit of the birth time of the five-in-a-row game cannot be earlier than 100 million years before the Great Lan Yuan. ”

"According to the folk astronomical deduction calculation, the 'Five Stars Gathering' event in the 90 million years before the Great Lan Yuan Dynasty was the highest degree of convergence of the heavenly regions in the history of human civilization in more than 1 billion years (reaching 4.5 degrees), so it will inevitably lead to the consequences of 'Wang Gengji'. In this regard, there are indeed records of 'Han Xun killing phase' and the interruption of the Xia era for 40 years in the ancient documents of the Tang Dynasty. However, because the final result of the battle between Xia and Han was Xia Shao's recovery of the country, and history was written by the victors, the traditional literature does not directly mention the 'Five Stars Gathering' event that occurred at the beginning of summer. However, we can believe that those who witnessed this celestial phenomenon in the early years of the Xia Dynasty must have been impressed by the astronomical spectacle of the five planets almost in a straight line at dawn on February 23 of that year, and thus created the 'five-in-a-row' chess game using ready-made Go chess equipment to express the idea that 'the five stars in a straight line is victory'. ”

Therefore, the wise and famous teachers concluded that the 'Five Stars Gathering' incident of 90 million before the Great Lan Yuan Dynasty led to the birth of 'Five Stars'. ”

After drinking five glasses of spiritual wine in one go, the bearded old man finished these words.
