Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 508 Pay more attention to details
I have to say that the details of these two stone carvings restored by Mr. Wang Xiangfu can be called high-definition versions.

The two fakes that were dumped out of the American Museum were found on more than a dozen streets.

No matter which of these details is missing, they will not be able to decipher the code hidden in the "Picture of Emperors and Empresses Worshiping the Buddha".

Especially the star holding board in the hand of this maid.

The star board is made of high quality ebony.

There are a total of 12 yuan square wooden boards. The largest piece is about 24 centimeters on each side. Each of the following pieces is decreased by [-] centimeters. The smallest piece is about [-] centimeters on each side.

Another small square is made of ivory, with the four corners notched. The lengths of the four sides of the notch are respectively one-quarter, one-half, three-quarters and one-eighth of the length of the smallest piece mentioned above.

When using it, the observer needs to hold the bottom of the board with one hand, stretch his arm forward, and hold the end of the rope in front of his eyes with the other hand.At this time, look at the upper and lower edges of the square plate, level the lower edge with the horizontal line, and coincide with the upper edge of the star being measured. Then, according to the number of fingers of the plate used, the index of the height of Polaris can be obtained.

Use the angle between the star and the sea level to determine your current location.

Judging from the star board in the picture, it is not in a working state, but is held in the hands of the maid, with both hands folded. It is impossible to operate the star board to determine the direction.

However, there is one detail in the picture that Lin Yi captured.

There are 12 yuan in total for the star board from bottom to top. The thickness of each piece is about one finger. Counting from bottom to top, the eighth piece is stacked neatly. By the ninth piece, four The square wooden board deflected slightly, and the upper boards returned to normal.

"Look at this location!"

Lin Yi pointed to the restoration picture that was enlarged several times on the phone screen, and the details of the star board appeared.

"From this angle, we can work backwards to deduce the location of the observation point."

"That's not right! Brother, there is another problem here."

Qian Sheng suddenly interrupted Lin Yi's words.

"Tell me."

"Since this star board has the same principle as our 'Star Feng Shui', both use the 28 constellations of the Big Dipper to determine good and bad luck in Feng Shui. Then how can we determine the location of this observation point if the position of the Big Dipper is different in the four seasons? ?”

There is no problem with his words, because there has been a saying since ancient times: if the bucket handle is facing east, the world will be spring; if the bucket handle is facing south, the world will be summer; if the bucket handle is facing west, the world will be autumn; if the bucket handle is facing north, the world will be winter.

Although the ancients' understanding of the world was relatively one-sided, they did have some research and summary on the changes in the stars.

The seasons are different, the bucket handle points in different directions, and the observation points that can be calculated backward will naturally be different.

However, Lin Yi transferred the picture on his phone without paying any attention and stopped at a maid.

"Look, can you tell what methods can't be found?"

The three of them stared at the phone screen for a while.

The maid on the screen was standing next to Empress Wen Zhao. There was nothing special about her clothes and makeup, but there were a few things in her hands that caught Qian Sheng's attention.

"Lotus? Lotus?"

Lin Yi smiled and nodded.

The maid in the photo is holding a lotus flower and two lotus pods are surrounding Empress Wen Zhao.

"When the lotus blooms, it is usually from June to September. 'The bucket handle faces south and it is summer all over the world.' Therefore, the observation time of this star board is at a certain time in summer."

"I'm convinced, brother, you really don't let go of any clues. I'm not complimenting you. If it were me and Brother Qiang, even if we were blind, we wouldn't be able to see the ugly Yinmao." "Don't put a high hat on him, so as not to make him proud."

Wang Qiang took Lin Yi's mobile phone and looked at the pattern on it carefully.

"It's really lotus flowers and lotus pods, but I observed them in summer, and now it's almost winter. Let's compare them with these things again. Can we be accurate?"

"The movement of the Big Dipper has its own rules. As long as we find the current position, we won't have to worry about not being able to find the previous observation direction."

When Wang Qiang heard this, he opened his mouth in joy.

"That's good, how about we say that this 'General of the Wilderness' is a fellow traveler with us. Everyone says that fellow travelers are enemies, but I can't see it. Isn't it obvious that the senior has shown us a way to get rich?"

"Don't yell. Are you afraid that others won't know what's going on?"

"Then should we go directly to Mang Mountain now, or should we continue shopping?"

"No, you're already here, why not go shopping with everyone? The tickets aren't cheap, are they?"

As Wang Qiang said this, his eyes were taken away by a group of young ladies in Hanfu in front of him.

"Now that you're here, let's take a stroll and see if there are any new discoveries inside."

After visiting the Longmen Grottoes and returning to the hotel, the group found a soup restaurant downstairs. After having a late-night snack, they returned to their rooms to rest.

Before leaving, Lin Yi specially told everyone to put the "General's Order" beside their pillows to see if they would have the same dream as him.

Lin Yi went back and took a shower, lying on the bed, and wrote down all the information he got in the grotto tonight in his notebook.

With these contents, I will be able to handle it with ease when I go to Mangshan tomorrow.

After finishing the recording, I leaned against the window, smoked a cigarette, relaxed myself, and immediately lay back on the bed.

He took out the "General's Order" in his hand and read it again and again under the desk lamp.

In the afternoon, I had been dreaming, and I felt as if I hadn't slept. Now I had just finished eating, and I felt sleepy, and I quickly fell asleep.

Not long after, that familiar scene appeared in his dream again.

The tall, square city was still in front of him, and there were guards patrolling back and forth on the city walls. As long as he wanted to focus on a certain point, that location would immediately become very blurry.

It felt like he could hear the voices of the guards on the city wall, but as long as he concentrated on picking up the sound, there would be a "buzzing" resonance in his ears, and he could hear nothing and couldn't hear clearly.

While Lin Yi was concentrating and holding his breath to get information from the outside world, someone from behind suddenly reached out and pressed on his shoulder.

He was so frightened that he was shocked. When he turned around, he saw that it was Wang Qiang. He was talking with his mouth open, but he couldn't hear a word. He could only point to his ears and waved his hands. .

Not long after, Qian Sheng suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was equally surprised to see them. He kept talking and making gestures with his hands.

The three of them stood face to face, and each other could clearly feel each other's presence, but communication between them was very difficult.

The voice could not be heard and the gestures could not be seen clearly. Lin Yi was so anxious that he scratched his head and head. Anxiety and nervousness surged into his heart. By the time his voice came out, he had already woken up from his dream.

He reached out and touched his forehead, which was covered in sweat, and the sheets underneath him were all wet.
