Lan Ruochan

Chapter 164 There was Yelang eight hundred miles in ancient times, and it is known that the Han family has tens of thousands of hectares
"Ah, if that's the case, then the envoy from Tianzhu wouldn't have to go to great lengths to find Niu Zhongbai.

Since they have a tradition of using this method, it is not expected that they can just find a cow at random.

If the cow is not healthy, it will be even more fatal. "

Although Tao Hongjing has never been to Tianzhu, he has a deeper understanding of the nature of things, often in one sentence.

But Yao Sixia was still worried about this matter,

"Originally, Mr. Hua Yang's prediction was not bad. All the cattle that can be used in Tianzhu are sacred cattle that have been raised.

It is said that the sacred cow can drown in gold, and drinking it will benefit the body and strengthen the body, which has become a belief.

Therefore, I am afraid that even if the kelp silk has better efficacy, it will not be able to persuade them. "

"Oh? Divine cow drowning in gold?
Why is this plot so familiar?
Well, I don't think so, you can tell them two stories,

That is to say, this divine cow did not exist in Zhongyuan,
In the past, there was a great country with thousands of chariots like Capricorna who asked for visits in every possible way, and only got a stone statue of a divine bull.

This stone cow can excrete gold, and the excrement gold can be transformed into water to drink for longevity.

When the king of the neighboring mountain heard about it, he was willing to exchange his country for the sacred bull, send five men to open the mountain to welcome the divine bull, and serve the country to the king of Qiancheng.

Later, the king of the mountain really lived a long life because of this, but he wanted to cross the sea to find the celestial grass of the sea China. It is said that eating it will not fall into reincarnation.

But heaven is jealous of longevity, the king of the mountain encountered storms when he entered the sea this time,

The ship capsized, and the stone ox entered the sea, never to be found again.

But the sea where the ship sank began to grow such seaweeds,
It is said that it is nourished by the stone cow dung gold in the sea, and its effect is the same as that of the divine cow drowning white.

In our country, those who are weak, have thick necks, and have trouble getting oil and rice will heal after eating. "

Yao Sixia's eyes widened when he heard it, and he put together two irrelevant allusions from the Central Plains and said, isn't this an obvious deception?
It's nothing more than normal time, it's nothing trivial when it comes to diplomacy,

If something goes wrong, isn't it my negligence?
While hesitating, King Wei spoke up,
"Since Daozong asked you to say so, you can try it."

Wei Wang ordered, Yao Sixia naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurried to negotiate with those Tianzhu guests in this way.

Sure enough, not long after, he came back happily, saying that the animal trainers were very happy after hearing these stories, holding the kumbusi and recited the scriptures very piously, and then swept away all of them, except praising the holy food and delicious food , and didn't bother to ask for Niu Niu anymore.

Tao Hongjing stroked his beard and smiled, naturally he was somewhat proud.

As the suzerain of Maoshan Sect, he is very familiar with these things every day.

He asked Yao Sixia to say this, not deliberately to deceive, nor did he pretend to be a native of the Celestial Dynasty, deliberately teasing Fan Banglai.

It's just that he knows that those who don't pay attention to the teachings and scriptures, but only like to pay attention to the details of the ceremony, are usually those groups with relatively limited cognition.

Just like those who are obsessed with drowning in cows, they are mainly the lowly animal trainers in the mission.

For this group, it doesn't make sense to tell the truth, they don't understand it at all.

In ancient times, there was no fine chemical industry, and the prescriptions were all mysterious things, such as filial shirts, pot bottom ash...

How do you persuade those idiots who don't know the cause and effect to eat these things?
Then you can only rely on coaxing, by telling stories.

What kind of magical medicine and fairy prescription, five elements of yin and yang, the more mysterious you are, the more people will obey you.

There were also many diseases that could not be cured at that time.
Not to mention that at that time, modern medicine was helpless to deal with many difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

But patients have full expectations of you, can you say that there is no cure?

Then I can only use some psychological therapy, drink some incense ash talisman paper, these things that can't kill people, and let fate go.

After all, human immunity is quite strong.
As long as there is a belief in life in the heart, many diseases can be overcome by themselves.

These are all his years of treatment experience.

Playing tricks is sometimes a need for communication in the background of the times.

It's just that many of his disciples and grandchildren later abandoned the original and chased the last,

I don't have much knowledge in my stomach, but I take these pretentious tricks as my main skills, which ruined the reputation of Maoshan sect.

And there are always some angry youths who seem to exude a sense of justice. After learning a little bit of knowledge, they think that there is nothing unknowable in the world, and denounce everything that they cannot understand as heresy.

These people usually stay at the level where they think that the filial son's shirt needs to be taken off the filial son's body.

If he really reached Tao Hongjing's level, even if he heard that he was going to drink cow urine, he would not show any signs of it. He had to ask some details before he could make a deep judgment.

A person's knowledge determines the aura.

For example, when Hu Caiting moved into the Zushi Guanxing Pavilion that day, he was so shocked that he yelled and almost escaped in the end.

But Zu Tingzhi saw Ji Zaixing playing with the five qi towards the Yuan, and the ice palm that condensed water into ice, but he was not moved at all, and he could still watch calmly until he found out what was wrong.

They are also faced with new things, and the feedback is very different. This is the difference in the background.

When the banquet begins, the host and guest will naturally exchange some customs of the two dynasties.

The chief envoy and minister wanted to show off, and while chatting, he talked about astronomy and calendar, which he was good at.

King Wei sneered slightly, and he exchanged glances with King Ren Cheng, knowing each other's heart, and then he gave a compliment to Xin Dufang who came overnight.

Xin Dufang immediately understood that few people could understand the strange skills he was thinking about in his daily life.

It is difficult to find a friend who can listen to his serious explanation, let alone an opponent who can discuss with each other.

At this time, the king of Wei intended to give him a chance, and he was naturally happy to act as a pawn, so he talked about his views on the stars and the calendar.

The holy minister saw that the other party was just a child, but he could have such insight, and he couldn't help but respect him suddenly.

However, they were still talking about common-sense things at this time, so at the beginning, the holy minister just thought that Xin Dufang had a wide range of knowledge and knowledge.

Talking about the division of the zodiac, Huaxia and Tianzhu are somewhat similar.

Different from the division of the zodiac into twelve houses in the West, the Central Plains generally divide the zodiac into 28 constellations.
But Tianzhu is a bit unique in this regard, choosing the singular division of 27.

Xin Dufang expressed doubts about this, and immediately pointed out that the number 27 must have another mystery, otherwise, there would be great troubles in the production of observation instruments and astronomical calculations.

The dome is like a circle. In terms of marking, it is much more difficult to divide it into thirds than to divide it into two equal parts.

28 mansions, take the number of four images and seven obsidian,

First divide the sky into four equal parts, and then mark the sky with gold, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, and moon, which can be observed by the naked eye.

Whether it is the naming of the 28 constellations or the production of the armillary sphere, this is the case.

And 27 is the number of thirty-nine, it needs three points and three points, if it is three times,
It is naturally much more difficult to make astronomical observation instruments based on this, and the accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

As soon as these words came out, the holy minister's heart was shocked again.

Being able to count the constellations of the zodiac is just a point of knowledge, as long as someone teaches, you can learn it well.

But it is not so simple to have your own views and opinions on the rules of segmentation.

The most important thing is that Xin Dufang's words greatly underestimated Tianzhu's astronomical observation capabilities at that time.

Tianzhu does not have special astronomical observation instruments like the Armillary Sphere and Yuheng.

There are only a few observatories that have been slightly improved on large observation buildings such as the Sun Observation Terrace of King Yao.

However, the so-called 27 constellations, as Xin Dufang said, are not the complete version of the division of the zodiac in Tianzhu.
