When the man wearing the soft turban finally fell, Shen Guang's body had already shot out, and he swung the Tianchan knife in his hand repeatedly, slitting the throats of all these people as quickly as possible.
Shen Guang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Sun Simiao. At this glance, his expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost.
There was no one in front of him, and Sun Simiao disappeared.
As Shen Guang's face changed, his gaze swept across the whole room like a knife. There was no trace of Sun Simiao. He looked sharply at the door and window and found that the window on the right had been opened at some point. Although he was a master in the stagnant period, he was still in the process of lightening his body. In terms of martial arts, even many masters of the breaking stage cannot match him. Although he was killing the enemy just now, he was able to avoid his eyes and ears and leave quietly. This method was really unimaginable to Shen Guang, at least so far. This is the first time I encountered it.
While feeling horrified, Shen Guang had already jumped out of the window where Sun Simiao might have left, trying to track and find Sun Simiao.
Wang Junlin specifically told him to take Sun Simiao back to treat Guoer and Zimo, but he lost the person. What's more, this was the first mission since Ghost Eye was officially established, and it failed like this. How could Shen Guang not be depressed?
…
…
Shen Guang met with Niu Jinda and others who were responsible for responding to him outside. The latter said that he did not see Sun Simiao leaving. A group of people searched nearby for a long time, as if Sun Simiao disappeared out of thin air.
"Master Marquis, you despised your duty and failed to bring Sun Simiao back. Please punish me, Master Marquis." Shen Guang saluted Wang Junlin with a guilty look on his face. He remembered that this was the third time he had said this to Wang Junlin. He surrendered to Wang Junlin. Since Wang Junlin, apart from the great things done at the Dayun Restaurant, there have always been various accidents in the following incidents.
Wang Junlin shook his head, thinking that Sun Simiao could leave such a great reputation in history. Even fourteen hundred years later, there are still many Yaowang temples among the people, and many stories and legends have been passed down through the ages.
In addition to being known as the "King of Medicine" who is no less powerful than Hua Tuo during the Three Kingdoms period, there are also mysterious titles such as "Holy Boy" and "Tao Lord". There are even historical records that this person lived for more than 140 years. The era that this person lived in was one of the most chaotic eras in China. With such a great reputation, how could he have lived for such a long time without matching abilities or even supernatural powers. Even someone like Lian Changkuzi and Bodo Dharma King The characters all have abilities that are much more powerful than ordinary Po Gongqi, not to mention the world-famous Sun Simiao.
"It seems that Sun Simiao's entry into the capital or the palace was intentional, and being kidnapped was obviously intentional. There may be some unknown secret behind this."
Wang Junlin's mind was racing with thoughts, his eyes were flashing, he waved his hand towards Shen Guang and said, "You are not to blame for this, it's because I thought about something."
After a pause, Wang Junlin said: "There may be a total solar eclipse in the sky in the past few days. You..."
At this point, Wang Junlin's expression suddenly condensed. He raised his left hand without warning and pointed directly upward. A sound broke through the air. Four iron thorns connected with each other and shot out like lightning. They pierced the roof and disappeared. .
After shooting the crossbow arrow, Wang Junlin suddenly felt something. He suddenly turned his head to look at the door, his expression changed involuntarily, and his pupils shrank slightly.
The whole process is a long story, but from the moment Wang Junlin suddenly raised his head to looking at the door, it only took half a breath.
Zhan Peng, Shen Guang and Niu Jinda were startled by what their Lord Marquis did, and then followed his gaze and turned around sharply. At this glance, their expressions changed drastically, and their respective weapons unsheathed involuntarily.
At some point, a figure appeared at the door.
To be precise, a Taoist priest in green robe appeared at the door like a ghost.
The impression of this Taoist priest is just two words - clean. In addition, except for his eyes, which are brighter than ordinary people, his appearance, skin color, height, temperament, etc. are all extremely ordinary. At least compared to Wang After King's Landing came to this era, the few magic sticks with immortal style and Taoism that he had seen were very different from each other based on their appearance alone.
After Zhan Peng, Shen Guang and Niu Jinda were frightened, Shen Guang had seen this person, recognized his identity, and knew that this person was following him, which made him even more angry. But before he could do anything, Niu Jinda was the most He was so bold that he took the lead in anger and shouted loudly: "Whose bull-nosed person is pretending to be a ghost? Grandpa will chop off your head."
Niu Jinda did as he was told, kicked his foot, and the long knife in his hand struck the green-robed Taoist priest's neck like lightning.
Although Niu Jinda has a strong murderous intent, he is by no means a reckless person. He knew that the person in front of him was strange, so he used all his strength with this sword, fully embodying the essence of his sword skills such as speed, hatred, and accuracy.
But Niu Jinda's knife hit the open space, because the person he wanted to chop casually stepped forward and dodged his knife strangely. Niu Jinda's pupils shrank, he turned around sharply, and was about to swing the second knife.
At this time, Wang Junlin shouted softly: "Stop!"
Niu Jinda glared at the green-robed Taoist priest fiercely, sheathed his sword and stood aside.
"I've heard about Sun Zhenren's name for a long time, and I'm here today. I'm sorry to welcome you from afar." Wang Junlin waved his three capable subordinates to step aside, and gave a junior salute to the green-robed Taoist priest.
Yes, the person who came was none other than the medicine king Sun Simiao that Wang Junlin wanted to invite.
"The people from the wilderness came here presumptuously, and it's a bit abrupt. I hope Qin Anhou won't be surprised." Sun Simiao's eyes were as bright as lightning. He took a deep look at Wang Junlin and calmly returned the greeting.
"Sun Zhen, please take a seat."
Wang Junlin extended his hand to invite Sun Simiao, who was not polite and sat on the first guest seat on the left.
"You three, please step aside for now. Zhan Peng ordered someone to bring some of the best tea, fruits and snacks." Seeing that Sun Simiao didn't mean to speak immediately, Wang Junlin glanced at the other people in the room and ordered.
The three of them said "here" and left. Soon a maid brought tea, fruits and snacks. Sun Simiao was not polite and did not speak. He even started to eat and drink. It was obvious that this person had not eaten well for at least half a day. Something.
Wang Junlin was not in a hurry, and quietly observed Sun Simiao while drinking tea.
"How did Marquis Qin An know that there would be a solar eclipse in the next few days?" After eating and drinking, Sun Simiao looked up at Wang Junlin and said suddenly.
Wang Junlin seemed to have known about Sun Simiao's question for a long time. In fact, he also knew that if he hadn't mentioned "there is a total solar eclipse" just now, which stirred up the other person's heart and exposed his flaw, he would have hidden himself in the dark before he could find out about this person. Above the head.
Smiling slightly, Wang Junlin said: "If I say that I figured it out, I wonder if Master Sun will believe it?"
Sun Simiao was startled for a moment, shook his head and said: "I know that total solar eclipse can be calculated, but that is only theoretical. To actually calculate it, it must be done manually, because the data that needs to be calculated is too huge, including the orbit of the sun.
, the ecliptic, and the calculation of the moon's orbit and the white path, each of which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. I once made a rough estimate with more than 30 Taoist priests. This requires at least 30,000 people who are proficient in arithmetic to continuously use calculation chips.
Only by counting two months and everyone making no mistakes can we calculate the approximate time when the total solar eclipse will occur."
This time it was Wang Junlin's turn to be surprised. He did not expect that Sun Simiao was so knowledgeable. But he then remembered that in Chinese history, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Taishi Ling had been in charge of the celestial calendar and the calendar. Later, a special agency was established to take charge of the Qin Tianjian.
Observe the celestial phenomena and calculate solar terms and calendars. In the Tang Dynasty, the Taishi Bureau was first established, and later it was changed to the Si Tiantai, which was affiliated with the Secretariat. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was the Si Tianjian, which was a parallel institution with the Taishi Bureau and the Taishi Academy.
In short, it is not surprising that the ancients were able to calculate the calendar through the movement of the sun and the moon, and then calculate the total solar eclipse using the same method. But as Sun Simiao said, the calculation involved is a
For a huge project, unless the country sets up a special agency to do it, it will be difficult for one person or a certain force to do it.
Naturally, Wang Junlin could not tell Sun Simiao that he knew in advance, and he had already said that he had calculated it himself. If he changed his story again, he would probably leave a very bad impression on the other party, which would be extremely detrimental to his subsequent plans.
Wang Junlin suddenly remembered that he had just designed it himself a few days ago and asked craftsmen to build it to prepare the abacus (note) for Wufu Tea House to settle accounts. He smiled and said: "Manpower is limited, but human beings are the only ones in this world who have
The biggest difference between intelligent creatures and ordinary animals is that humans can create and use tools."
"Qin Anhou's words contain great wisdom! Hmm... So, Qin Anhou created a tool that is more convenient for calculation than calculation chips?" Wang Junlin's words were extraordinary, and Sun Simiao thought that this son could do it in less than a year.
Time has created such a great reputation, and it is indeed well-deserved. When he looked at Wang Junjun, his eyes were already as bright as stars.
Wang Junlin smiled and did not answer Sun Simiao's words. Instead, he called the maid outside and gave instructions. Soon someone brought a wooden abacus.
Note: The abacus, also known as the abacus, is a simple calculation tool invented by our ancestors. The abacus originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. The abacus was used in the Northern Song Dynasty. The abacus is a simple calculation tool invented by the working people of ancient China. Calculation tool. China is the hometown of the abacus. Today, when computers are widely used, the ancient abacus has not been abandoned. Instead, it is in the ascendant in many countries because of its flexibility, accuracy and other advantages. Therefore, people often associate the invention of the abacus with The four great inventions of ancient China are comparable. UNESCO has just approved it in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, and abacus has officially become the intangible cultural heritage of mankind. This is also the 30th item listed as intangible cultural heritage in my country.
