Three hundred miles to the west from Ousi City, there is an unknown mountain peak, and at the foot of the mountain is "Shuhai City". This is a small city with a small population, but the residents there are tall and it is said that they came from
A branch of the giant clan, all descendants of "Shu Hai".
Shuhai is a descendant of Kuafu and one of the ancient gods. He has huge steps and is particularly good at walking.
The emperor ordered Shuhai to measure the world in steps, from the east pole to the west pole, five hundred and ninety-nine thousand eight hundred steps. Shuhai counted with his right hand and pointed to the north of Qingqiu with his left hand.
In the later period of Yu and Shun, Shuhai was ordered to measure the territory of China. They traveled across the land of China and conducted more accurate measurements. During their measurement, they invented the step ruler to measure the land, and created measuring instruments for metrology - the step ruler and the measure.
The basic units are feet, feet, miles, etc.
There is an ancient tomb in Shuhai City. In front of the ancient tomb is paved with bluestone, and there is a huge footprint on the bluestone.
Lu Cheng went to take a look and found that the footprints were more than two meters long!
He thought to himself: "Is this forged by future generations? If it is a real footprint, then how tall is Shuhai? How long is his leg? How many meters is one step equivalent? From the East Pole to the West Pole, 500 million ten feet
Nineteen thousand eight hundred steps, how many kilometers is that?"
He is not sure whether the footprints are true or false, because there is a "Giant Spirit Art" in his marrow sea, which is a mental method passed down from the giant clan. According to the description of the technique, the higher the level of cultivation, the taller and taller the body will become.
, it is difficult to say how tall it will eventually grow. This can be imagined from the story of "Kuafu Chasing the Sun".
Kuafu is the leader of the giant tribe. It is said that he raced with the sun and chased it to the place where the sun set. He was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he drank water from the Yellow River and Weihe River. The water from the Yellow River and Weihe River was not enough, so he went to drink from the north.
Big lake water. Before Kuafu arrived, he died of thirst on the way. After his death, the walking stick abandoned in his hand turned into a peach forest, and his body turned into Kuafu Mountain.
There is a tombstone in front of Shuhai's grave, with many ancient runes carved on it.
Lu Cheng studied the runes for a while and found that this stele had a lot of history. It was probably not made by the residents of the city, but was erected by Shuhai himself!
The inscription says, "Everything about big numbers: Ten thousand is called billion, ten thousand trillion is called zhao, ten thousand zhao is called jing, ten thousand zhao is called jing, ten thousand jing is called zhi, ten thousand zhi is called zhi, ten thousand zhi is called zhao... The emperor's destiny is measured
Heaven... The length of the sacred tree is called Zi or Zheng. It has hundreds of branches and nine sparrows on it. It is actually like hemp and its leaves are like awns..."
Lu Cheng was fascinated by the lake and didn't know what the inscription meant.
He suspected that it was talking about the "Bronze Divine Tree Picture". However, the inscription was vague and there was no detailed explanation, so everything could only be guessed.
The inscription also mentions that Shuhai once painted a "Picture of a corner of Kyushu", which was finally taken away by the emperor.
Lu Cheng stayed in the city for several days and ordered Qingmei and others to go out and inquire to see if there was anything left in Shuhai.
Qingmei used 100 bear skins to buy an ancient bronze ruler from the home of a poor giant elder. It was so rusty that the runes could not be seen clearly.
She said to Lu Cheng: "Brother, this ruler has a lot of history. It is said to have been used by Shuhai. It seems to have a lot of runes on it."
Lu Cheng looked at the bronze ruler and found that it was 3 feet long, 5 centimeters wide, and 1 centimeter thick. It was quite heavy in his hand.
He breathed out a flame and burned the bronze ruler.
After burning for a quarter of an hour, the patina on it fell off and was washed in water, revealing a golden color.
There are many ancient runes on the front and back of the copper ruler, which are criss-crossed and resemble thunder patterns. The strokes are complex and difficult to identify.
It took Lu Cheng three days to identify some of the runes and arrange them to form a poem.
"For eternity, silkworm bushes have been opened up, seas have been erected, and caves have been erected. The beginning of the leveling of heaven and earth, the end of the emperor's surrender. The cauldron of gods and treacherous columns was cast, and the golden ruler measured the sky. The soil was laid with waves, and the hibiscus became redder every day."
In addition to this poem, there are eight characters of "鸱鸸鸱鸸,箜瀮修瀹". There are also 84 weird runes, which look like Yunlei script, but are more complicated than ordinary Yunlei script.
A hundred times.
Taken together, there are 132 runes in total.
Lu Cheng thought about it for a while. He didn't understand the meaning of the 84 weird runes, and it was not convenient to test them here, so he put the bronze ruler away.
The group left Shuhai City and continued walking west.
They walked for more than two months and passed more than ten cities. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, the sun was scorching, and the summer was scorching. They arrived at "Nie Er City" on this day.
People here like to scratch their ears with both hands no matter what happens.
They are good at listening, and they have a skill to train their ears called "Nie'er Jue". If you pinch it once, you can hear the sound ten feet away. If you pinch it twice, you can hear the wind and grass a hundred feet away. If you pinch it three times, you can hear the sound thousands of feet away. If you pinch it four times, you can hear the sound ten feet away.
Press down, you can hear ten thousand feet away... You can pinch it up to nine times, and you can hear subtle sounds from far, far away, similar to the legendary celestial ear.
Lu Cheng decided to stop and rest until the weather gets cooler before leaving.
He asked Qingmei and Siping to go out and investigate to see if they could get the secret of "Nie Er Jue".
After finding a place to stay, Lu Cheng lay on the wooden bed, his mind wandering, and returned to modern times.
I opened my eyes and touched the mobile phone placed on the bedside. The date displayed was July 8, 2035.
He and his family spent two days playing on the banks of Qinghai Lake, then drove to Xining, returned the car at the airport, and flew back to Quancheng.
After going out for such a long time, Jiang Qiuyun changed from a member of the presidium to a vice-chairman of the Writers' Association, and her salary in Youth was further improved. Although there are as many as 15 vice-chairmen of the Writers' Association, those people are all physical writers, and few of them are involved in the Internet.
.
On the male channel, "Chinese" also improved her treatment.
Since last winter, Jiang Qiuyun's "Bent Bow and Hanging Fusang" has rushed to the top of the best-selling subscription list.
People are guessing about "Qiu Xian" and want to know who he is. However, the website has done a good job of keeping it confidential and no one can guess it.
In fact, Jiang Qiuyun now spends no more than three months writing books every year. Her main energy has been transferred to cultivation.
The day after returning to Qingquan Villa, Lu Cheng saw off 10 young astronomers.
On July 10, he welcomed 20 more middle school students! Among them were 10 high school students and 10 junior high school students, all of whom were selected to have strong mental strength.
As a teacher, Lu Cheng used the summer to hold study classes for them.
For these children, he did not forcibly help them open the heavenly orifices. The content he taught included Qi-nourishing techniques and Shen-nurturing techniques, all of which were basic techniques.
After all, he is a young man. Unlike those astronomers who are close to 30 years old, he deserves to have a brighter future.
If Lu Cheng only teaches the "Shen Yang Jue", these young people may not live to be 70 years old, because without the support of the five internal organs, the pure soul cannot exist alone.
Only by practicing the Nourishing Qi Art and the Nourishing Spirit Art at the same time can you live to be 100 years old.
And among these people, if they persevere and accumulate enough Qi of the five internal organs, they may cross the innate threshold and give birth to some monks.
However, the route Lu Cheng chose to educate these people was still different from that of his true disciple Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng entered Taoism through martial arts, first tempering the physical body, then refining the five internal organs, and finally cultivating the spiritual consciousness. This is equivalent to building a tall building from the ground, first laying the foundation and then building the building.
Although these middle school students have practiced "Qi Nourishing Technique", they have not practiced "Great Witch God Fist", let alone "Flying Dragon's Kick", "White Ape Arm", "Sitting in a Well Frog", etc., their physical bodies are not strong enough, and their future path of cultivation will be difficult.
