Since ancient times, the Big Dipper has been an important horoscope in the human world. One of the rulers that the ancients used to refer to in customizing directions and seasonal solar terms was the Big Dipper.
The rain for many days finally stopped, and it was clearly visible in the sky.
Near the ancestral land in Nanqiu, Yuzai planted a wooden pole to record the changes in the sun's shadow. This was a major event related to determining the date of this year's winter solstice.
If the handle of the bucket points to the east, it will be spring everywhere; if it points to the south, it will be summer; if it points to the west, it will be autumn; if it points to the north, it will be winter.
Yu Zai doesn't know what this world of mountains and seas looks like. Is it a planetary world similar to the earth, or is it a round sky in a traditional alien world? Or is it the Gaitian, Huntian, and Xuanye that the ancient Chinese imagined?
The night is clear tonight and the sky is full of stars.
The brilliant silvery river is clearly visible.
The sea of stars is brilliant, and the clouds and Han are shining back to the sky!
According to Sheng (Da Yi), the Milky Way was indeed called "Han", which is also highly consistent with the legend of mountains and seas where the souls of gods and ancestors return to heaven after death and turn into stars.
It takes at least a whole year to formulate the twenty-four solar terms. After all, it changes with time. Everything related to time must be respected and cannot be easily manipulated.
The southern region is different from the northern region, with lots of rain, storms, abundant sunshine, and huge humidity. When the seasons change, the changes in light, rain, wind, temperature, etc. are obvious. Of course, it will not be the case if you go to Lingnan.
Yu Zai couldn't help but glance towards the south subconsciously.
There are many unknown things at the foot of Tianbi Mountain in Lingnan. Danger exists there. It is forbidden for any unrelated people to approach Lingnan.
"It's time to look at those three bags of salt."
Yu Li is in the hunting team. The weather today is very good. It seems that the long rainy season occasionally needs a breather. God may be tired from crying.
Another day full of harvest, the giant locust tree is a landmark, everyone was very happy to find the giant locust tree, and then prepared to return to Nanqiu from here.
Hu Li carried several mountain rabbits and a deer on his shoulders, saying goodbye to the mountains and fields.
I hope I can still hunt so many prey tomorrow, at least until the crops in the cultivated fields are harvested.
He turned his head.
He saw a white-skinned cow standing beside the giant locust tree that was far away.
Yuli was stunned for a moment.
"Hey, where did the cow come from?"
He looked a little surprised. Cow, isn't it exactly what Wu Yiyi has been thinking about!
The giant locust tree seemed to be withered, and the cow looked at him from a distance, showing a smile that looked like a human face.
The surroundings seemed much darker.
Yuli suddenly became dizzy for a moment. He fell to the ground with a thud. The panic shouts of the soldiers around him seemed to be illusive and dreamy.
He looked at the giant locust tree again, and saw that the cow's human face had become one-eyed. He felt that his head was a little heavy, and when he lowered his head and raised it again, the cow was gone.
"ox"
Yanli pointed stiffly at the giant locust tree that was the landmark, and then fainted.
"witch!"
Panicked shouts gathered outside the wizard's shed. Yu Zai was observing the salt and doing soil testing, and found that the salt actually stimulated water and soil, and fresh water could gradually be converted into salt water. This surprised Yu Zai.
In this case, it is completely possible to build a salt field or dig a salt well. As long as there is water and soil, the salt crisis in the tribe can be temporarily alleviated. But I don’t know how the Susha clan did it?
Of the three bags of salt, only the third bag, the one that Yuan Zai was interested in at the beginning, has this kind of power. It comes from the inactive Qi in the salt, but under his own inspiration, those Qi changed.
It has to boil.
Is this also the characteristic of a Qi Refiner?
It is still unknown for now. In short, the Susha family may have made an oversight when selling it to the merchant. This salt should definitely not be a failure. The key point is the strange salt gas.
"What's going on? What happened?"
When Yu Zai came out, he saw the members of the hunting team, and they were holding the unconscious Yu Zai. On the latter's head, there was a vague and lingering aura, showing an unstable ring.
"This is a curse! What's going on?"
Blessing is a way of praying to God for an answer. Likewise, cursing means "cursing", asking God to bring disaster to one's enemies so that they cannot be safe.
To curse and wish is to tell the gods to issue orders and bring disaster and blame; to tell the gods with words is called blessings, and to ask gods to bring disaster is called a curse.
This is by no means a natural occurrence.
"Draw a circle and curse me?"
Yu Zai frowned. More and more tribesmen gathered here, and a member of the hunting team said: "Before Yu Zai fainted, he pointed at the giant locust tree and said there were cows."
The giant locust tree is the landmark of the second hunting area among the three hunting areas. When you find the giant locust tree, the sunny side is in the direction of Nanqiu.
Moreover, there are not many locust trees in this area, so the appearance of giant locust trees is even more eye-catching.
Everyone knows about the giant locust tree. The members of the hunting team are not fixed every day. Occasionally, someone will go out or join in. Only the leader will not be replaced.
The leader of the hunting team is called Yubo.
Bo means comet. In ancient times, it refers to the stars that are seen moving in the sky.
He explained the matter clearly to Yu Zai, but on the side, Yu Fou and the others were not there. We all had a lot of work to do, and the farmland was far away from here.
"I think it's the Tong Hong family!"
Confucius was very angry. He was about the same age as Confucius. He followed Confucius on an envoy to Xunshan last time, and he was one of the people who knew the identity of Yi.
"The last time we went to Xunshan to worship, it was about the Hong family."
When the old accounts were unearthed, there was a curse, and before she fainted, she said that there were cows under the giant locust tree.
The totem of the Tong Hong family is the cow.
"He must be trying to force us to find them! There can be no mistake!"
Ansheng has not lived for the past two or three days. The last time, Tong Hong said that he must find an explanation from Yu Zai, and then intercepted and killed the grain transport team on the way. Fortunately, Yi took action, otherwise most of them would have died.
.
"The Hong family"
Curses and blessings are difficult to solve. This thing is very mysterious. It is a curse placed on you by the other party's god. If your god is more powerful, then there is no big problem, but there are no gods in the Akagata clan.
Make the lamb spit? Isn't this nonsense?
Is this a warning?
Yu Zai took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Want to talk? Yes!"
Yuzai quickly found Dayi.
"Cursed blessing?"
Dayi came, wearing short trousers, a few torn bags with scattered Shami in them, and a gou on his head. Of course, this was not important.
After seeing Yuli's situation and understanding that the problem was probably due to the last time he was with the Hong family, Dayi said that the problem was not big.
"There are four ways to solve the curse. The first way is to find the grass that can solve the curse. The second way is to solve it by the other party. The third way is to have powerful gods to help you solve it. The fourth way is to kill their gods.
.”
Dayi smiled: "If you ask me to solve the curse, I can't do it, because I don't sacrifice to the gods."
Although Yi was deified, he had no corresponding witchcraft.
"I know what you mean. Let me go with you to have a look at the Tonghong Family. There's no rush."
