It was almost the third watch at this time, and he felt a little sleepy, so he turned to the back pages of the diary. He wanted to know what the female Japanese pirate had done after she followed Mitsubishi Mori and others to Bulham Mountain.
There are indeed records related to the Earthly Branches in the diary of the female Japanese pirate, but the records are very brief. The general meaning is that a group of them came to Buxian Mountain and found the Earthly Branch Chou Niu in Sushen Ancient City. Although the old woman who transformed into an ugly cow did not know
Their identity has cast doubt on their motives for coming here, and the best opportunity to deal with the ugly cow has been missed. If you want to get rid of the ugly cow, you must use a magic weapon.
After seeing these contents, he realized that the abandoned city where everyone was currently located was called Sushen Ancient City. The unitary chicken he saw earlier in the desert of the Western Regions was the image of a young woman, while the ugly cow that the female Japanese pirates and others saw here was an old woman.
The image shows that Mitsubishi Mori and others have seen the ugly cow before, and may even have had conversations with it.
As for the magic weapon mentioned in the diary, it is undoubtedly the copper rod brought by Ikeda, but unfortunately, the origin and specific use of the copper rod are not mentioned in the diary.
In addition, the female Japanese pirate also mentioned in her diary that she had missed the best opportunity to deal with the ugly cow. This shows that the Japanese pirates knew more about the Earthly Branches than they did, and even knew when the Earthly Branches were at their weakest.
After reading the last few pages, I turned a few pages forward. Sure enough, the diary also recorded the destruction of Chenlong and Maotu by the Japanese pirates. Although the diary did not mention the specific details, it did mention the approximate time. They were in
Maotu was destroyed at dawn on the eighth day of February, and Chenlong was destroyed in the early morning of the second day of March.
Knowing the specific time when the Japanese pirates attacked the Earthly Branches twice, we have the basis for calculation. There are twelve months in a year, and each month corresponds to a different Earthly Branch. The Earthly Branches corresponding to the twelve months do not start with Zishu.
But starting from Yinhu, the first month is Yin month, which is Yinhu. The second month is Mao month, which corresponds to Mao rabbit. The third month is Chen month, which corresponds to Chenlong, and so on.
The thirty days of a month are also divided into heavenly stems and earthly branches, and the twelve hours of each day also correspond to Zichou Yinmao respectively. The dawn is Mao hour, and the early morning is Chen hour.
In this way, it can be easily deduced that the Japanese pirates chose to attack Maotu at the Mao hour of Mao month and Mao day, and the early morning of the second day of March when they attacked Chenlong was also the time of Chen, Yue, Chen and Chen.
I found the pattern and verified it with the ugly cow here. It is March, which is the Chen month, but today is fourteenth, which is the Chou day.
Previously, Ikeda and others had agreed with Mitsubishi Mori to come here before the third watch. The third watch belongs to Zi time, while the fourth watch is Chou time. Ikeda and others came here before the third watch and spent an hour preparing.
When it gets uglier, it's when the ugly cow is relatively weak.
The reason why they are relatively weak is because the Chou month is in December, but they were not ready at that time. Now they cannot pursue the Chou month, Chou sun, Chou hour, but can only pursue the Chou sun and Chou hour. This is also consistent with the diary of the female Japanese pirate.
As mentioned, they missed the best opportunity and had to use magic weapons to kill the ugly cow.
Thinking of this, it suddenly dawned in my heart that the Japanese pirates had sent a large number of their own warriors to infiltrate the Middle Earth this time for the matter of the Golden Dragon and the Earthly Branches. They must have made corresponding preparations before departure, and I, Datou and others only learned of the Japanese pirates' intentions temporarily.
The hasty response, to put it bluntly, is that the Japanese pirates have a far more detailed understanding of the Earthly Branches than they do. Now that I have found the profit and loss rules of the twelve Earthly Branches, it will be more convenient to protect the Earthly Branches. Even if I don’t visit them one by one, I can still know which Earthly Branches.
They are weakest at a certain time on a certain day of the month, and this time is also the time when Japanese pirates are most likely to attack them.
At this moment, Datou opened his eyes and stood up, wanting to go out to relieve himself. Seeing that he was holding the diary in a daze, he walked over and took a look, "My lord, what are you looking at?"
When Yang Kai and Yu Yi were moving the bedding, Datou was instructing Miss Bai to throw the body far away. He didn't know that he had picked up the diary of the female Japanese pirate. When he heard his question, he was worried that speaking would wake up Yang Kai and the others, so he didn't answer. He just pretended.
Swing it
hand, gesturing for him to go to his convenience.
Da Tou didn't ask any more questions, yawned and walked out. After relieving himself, he added some firewood to the campfire, and then came back and fell asleep again.
Yang Kai had already fallen asleep at this time. Although Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming were sitting cross-legged and meditating, they also fell asleep. Most of the monks and nuns were meditating and chanting sutras on weekdays, or just sitting and meditating. In fact, most of the time they were
Sleeping sitting up.
I felt a little sleepy, so I put down my diary and lay down to rest.
He thought he would fall asleep soon after closing his eyes, but he never thought that the scent of orchids remaining on the quilt would make his mind wander, and his imagination would wander. The ancients said that eating the marrow will make you know the taste. It is okay to say that some things have not been experienced, but once they are experienced, they will be
It is inevitable to recall it with nostalgia.
Fortunately, although he is strong in blood, he is a Qi practitioner. The spiritual energy in his body rotates and circulates, which can calm his mind and eliminate distracting thoughts.
Everyone slept soundly this time, and slept until midnight the next day. Sufficient sleep is very important for both Qi practitioners and ordinary people, because the essence of sleep is to return to the innate state and restore the energy consumed during the day.
Essence and spirit.
The temperature was very low in the early morning. After I got up, I was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, I told Datou and others the clues I got from the female Japanese pirate's diary last night in detail, so that they would be well aware of it.
After listening to the talk, Datou was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, is it possible that the diary you found was deliberately misled by the Japanese pirates?"
Without waiting for an answer, Shi Xuanming answered from the side, "Are you thinking too much? If they don't all surrender, we won't be able to get this thing. Will they use seven lives to mislead us?"
After Shi Xuanming finished speaking, he nodded and said, "What Shi Xuanming said makes sense. The diary must be true. The three red circles on the map copy you found from Mitsubishi Mori are also consistent with what was written in the female Japanese pirate's diary."
of."
"I trust your judgment, but I'm still a little worried." Big Head clicked his tongue and shook his head.
>
"What are you worried about?" he asked casually.
Datou cleared his throat with two dry coughs, and then spoke, "If we follow the rules you just mentioned, the Japanese pirates should go to Lingnan Road in the southeastern border to assassinate Sishe, but they did not go south, but went to
The Japanese are coming from the north, and the Yinhu of Silla jumped over. I wonder if the Japanese pirates deliberately lured us to Silla."
When Da Tou spoke, no one on his side immediately responded. Although the possibility of Da Tou's words was unlikely, it could not be completely ruled out.
After pondering, he said, "The diary must be true. There is no doubt about it. Mitsubishi Sen is also an important figure. He is a mage. The Japanese pirates cannot sacrifice him to mislead us, so the map must be true. We are sure about Silla."
We have to go, and according to time estimates, we may indeed encounter the seven major families who have returned from Japan in Silla, so we just need to be more careful after we go there."
After speaking, Yang Kai and others all nodded, but the big head frowned slightly, looking worried.
Of the five people in our party, Datou was the oldest, and Datou had been in the market all year round, and had seen a lot of intrigues and intrigues. Seeing that he was always worried, he raised his hand and said, "It's okay, if you have any ideas, it's okay to say so.
"
"Your Majesty, what you just said is correct," Datou said, "but I still feel something is wrong. The locations of the Earthly Branches are already marked on the map. There are twelve places in total. I know how many they killed, so it seems unnecessary.
Draw a circle, I always feel that the circle was drawn deliberately for us to see."
Hearing Datou's words, Shi Xuanming wanted to retort, but was stopped by a wave of his hand, "It is indeed impossible for the Japanese pirates to sacrifice Mitsubishi Mori on his own initiative, and Mitsubishi Mori himself cannot be used as a bait, but it cannot be ruled out that this person secretly prepared the worst plan.
There is a possibility that the Japanese pirates may have laid a trap in Silla waiting for us to pass."
"Don't worry, I have a way to confirm it," he said, turning to look at Shi Xuanming, "Give me your wine bag..."
