Chapter 245: What went wrong?
Old Hu's face flushed, and he said excitedly: "The Star Official Chart is the crystallization of wisdom compiled and summarized by countless ancient astrology masters. It proves that thousands of years ago, we, the Dragon Clan, had already begun to observe the stars and derived countless theories based on the stars."
“For example, the I Ching!”
"The Book of Changes originally included the Lianshan Yi, Guizang Yi, and Zhouyi. Unfortunately, the first two have long been lost, leaving only Zhouyi."
"In fact, the Book of Changes originated from the River Chart and the Luoshu."
"But whether it is the theory of the five elements, or the River Map and the Luoshu, they all originated from astrology. So, tracing back to the source, the foundation of our dragon culture comes from the ancient astrological theory."
"Old Hu, are you exaggerating? It's just a star map, is it really that amazing?!"
The fat man was speechless when he saw that Lao Hu was almost reaching climax.
Lao Hu: “You know shit!”
"As the old saying goes, there are nine states on earth and nine fields in the sky!"
"The ancients divided the starry sky into several areas based on the star official map, which were called star officials or stars, similar to the current constellations."
"This is the most important academic achievement in ancient astronomy and one of the most mysterious parts of the traditional culture of the Dragon Clan."
"It marks the positions of 1465 stars."
Old Hu pointed at the star stones around him and said, "I bet if we count the number of these star stones, there will definitely be 1465 of them."
The fat man and the Zhang family were all stunned.
"You see, the star stone we are in now is located at the edge of the land, which belongs to one of the twenty-eight constellations."
"You should have heard of the 28 Mansions. They are actually 28 star clusters that are connected to each other to form constellations. The ancients then divided them into four symbols according to the positions of the east, south, west and north."
"The four symbols are the Azure Dragon in the East, the White Tiger in the West, the Vermillion Bird in the South, and the Black Tortoise in the North."
"The location of the twenty-eight mansions is exactly where the moon passes. The moon's revolution period around the earth is more than 27 days, and it passes through about one mansion per day."
"From this we can see that the twenty-eight mansions were not randomly divided, and the calendar was also formulated based on the twenty-eight mansions."
"The ancients believed that the twenty-eight constellations were the twenty-eight guardians in the sky."
"The seven brightest star stones in the middle are the leaders of all stars, representing the famous Big Dipper!"
"I have seen a formation in the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art, called the Seven Star Formation. This formation is based on the Big Dipper, but this formation is always arranged on the ground. No one has ever thought of arranging this formation in the sky.
“So I didn’t react just now.”
The fat man waved his hands in confusion: "You said so much, but I didn't understand a word you said. Just tell me, do you know how to break this formation?"
Old Hu nodded, paused, and shook his head.
"The method to break this formation is on the Big Dipper."
"The Big Dipper is divided into Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. Each star is actually a button. Only one button is correct, and the others are all killer moves!"
“Once you select the wrong button, the surrounding star stones will start to fall. The more wrong you select, the faster they fall!
“Unless you choose the right button.”
"The problem is, I don't know which button is the right one."
He pointed at Lao Gu and the other side in the distance.
"The star stone they are both on is one of the Big Dipper."
"They must have triggered the mechanism."
After hearing this, the fat man's face turned green.
"That means we only have a one in seven chance?"
The fat man counted on his fingers and spoke tremblingly.
Lao Hu shook his head: "We don't have that many chances. If we make a mistake once, the mechanism will be triggered, causing the Star Stone to fall. If we make more mistakes, the speed at which the Star Stone falls will become faster and faster. If we make two or three mistakes, we will be dead."
"Didn't you say that your family's sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique is all-encompassing and records countless mechanical formations, life-and-death traps in the world?"
"Are you stupid? Qin Shi Huang combined the Star Official Map with the Seven Star Formation, which can be said to be a new formation mechanism. For more than two thousand years, no one has entered here, so naturally no one knows about this formation, so how could it be recorded in a book!"
The fat man was speechless after being rebuked by Lao Hu.
Then he cursed angrily: "This Qin Shi Huang is such an old bastard."
Star chart. Big Dipper.
Everyone present fell into deathly silence, and even Zhang Qiling began to look solemn.
They are faced with a life-or-death choice.
Make the right choice and live!
Choose the wrong one and you’re dead!
"Given Qin Shi Huang's personality, he must be the only one who is supreme!"
"Tianshu is the first of the Big Dipper. I think using it as the center of the array is in line with his character. What do you think of my guess?"
Xu Feng said.
The others heard this and nodded.
If we analyze it based on Qin Shihuang's character, this is indeed the case.
Seeing no one raised any objection,
Xu Feng looked at Zhang Qiling.
Zhang Qiling leaped over dozens of meters and landed on a large star stone.
This star stone is exactly the first of the Big Dipper, Tianshu.
Everyone heard the sound of mechanisms turning one after another, and they immediately looked around nervously.
Many people were so nervous that their legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
It's not their fault. After staying in this confined space for a long time, and constantly facing danger that may come at any time, their psychology has subtly changed.
"Did you make it?"
The fat man asked with some trembling.
As a result, just as he finished speaking, suddenly, two star stones fell from the distance.
The fat man was shocked.
Many members of the Zhang family turned pale with fright.
"Oh my god! I guessed wrong!"
The fat man exclaimed: "Now two star stones are falling at once."
“Not only that!”
Lao Hu said in a deep voice: "The falling speed has also increased, shortened by about half, to only six or seven seconds."
While the fat man was speaking, two more star stones fell.
Lao Hu finished speaking.
Two more star stones fell.
Although no one fell down, everyone was terrified.
Fatty: "Master Xu, that Tianshu star is wrong, guess the next one quickly."
Xu Feng frowned: "I can't guess randomly. I estimate that if I guess wrong again, the time will be shortened and the number of star stones dropped each time will increase."
Everyone heard this.
They all felt a chill in their hearts.
Doesn't that mean it drops every three or four seconds, and three or four drops each time?
Xu Feng also forced himself to calm down.
Focus all your energy on the five largest and brightest remaining star stones.
strange!
Qin Shi Huang was the supreme emperor of all time. No matter how he thought about it, he would choose Tianshu, the first of the Big Dipper, as the correct center of the formation. How could he be wrong?!
Which link went wrong?
He looked at Lao Hu.
Lao Hu's expression also revealed deep doubt and puzzlement, as if he was facing a century-old problem that countless scientists had racked their brains to solve.
Well, it seems that Lao Hu can no longer be relied upon.
He looked at the Big Dipper again, trying hard to see through the secret hidden behind the Big Dipper. His pupils were even covered with bloodshot and his eyeballs were almost popping out.
On which star did Qin Shihuang hide the correct center of the formation?
As an emperor, if he doesn't covet the supreme power, what else could he covet...
