- The shadow of the sun appeared on the pointer, and Yan Zai and Dayi watched like this, and the first light was projected. From this moment on, the years of mountains and seas have life.
Dayi's expression was very solemn and serious, and he felt that this was a very remarkable thing. Tugui and the sundial seemed similar, but in fact, Tugui was far less accurate than the sundial.
And this facility is inherently sacred.
"Determining the years of heaven and earth, correcting the appearance of the world."
Dayi suddenly said to Yan Zai that he wanted to write these two sentences under the base of a new, uncarved, real stone sundial.
"This is something that should be passed down through the ages."
The dial that needs time is used as the basis for longitude measurement.
"I won't leave here today. I need to record the time table for the first day of the mangoes. Of course, when did the shadow of the sun reach the highest point"
Before Yan Zai finished speaking, Dayi said: "That time has not yet come."
Yan Zai was surprised: "Sheng, do you know that too?"
Dayi smiled: "Zai, don't underestimate the wisdom of the Central Plains. I know that the time you mentioned must be another point of intersection of solar terms. Although there are no solar terms in the Central Plains, it is clearly written in the Yellow Emperor's calendar."
"According to the current time, the highest point of the sun shadow you mentioned should be the same time as calculated by the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. You also made the twenty-four solar terms according to the old calendar, and that time is called -"
Dayi and Yan Zai spoke almost at the same time, saying in unison: "Summer Solstice!"

The wooden stick is leaning on the ground, and it is held by a tall old man. He has tied up hair, a thin face, and has been weather-beaten. There is a snake skin wrapped around his waist, and there are several small bags hanging on the side. I don't know what is in the bulging bag. He has a long white beard and holds a large lotus leaf in his left hand.
He crossed mountains and ridges, and finally came to the foot of Tianbi Mountain today.
Tianbi Mountain, that's not what the Great Southern Wilderness calls it. Its fixed head branch, which is close to the South China Sea, is called Rongtian Ridge by the people of the Great Southern Wilderness.
This mountain is the dividing point between the wilderness plains south of the great river, the basins in the mountains, the rivers and lakes, and the real mountains and mountains in the south of the Lingnan Mountains.
Thick clouds cannot pass over this mountain, and vast lightning strikes will not fall into the southern soil. Of course, there will be occasional lightning strikes, but I don't know which unlucky guy is lying again.
"Send it here!"
The tall old man smiled and spoke to the other old man beside him.
The second old man was caught in the gaze of Wanmu insects, the light of the sun and the moon.
"Trouble you to spare me such a big circle."
The tall old man thanked the second old man, and this old man was dressed in clothes similar to the Central Plains. He was black, with piercing eyes, vigorous energy, a tough face, and loose hair, which was not tied up like the tall old man.
On his shoulder stood a kind of bird with three heads, pecking each other non-stop.
"I went to the Beihu Clan to ask for furs, and I went to Dishan to worship Emperor Ku's tomb. When I came back, I would pass by here, so it's not a bad way."
The second old man replied: "To go to Jingshan, you have to pass Rongtian Ridge. Instead of going northwest over the mountains, it is better to pass through Chaisang's. Plains and wilderness are always easier to walk than mountains and great mountains."
On his shoulder, the three-headed bird chirped, as if echoing the old man's words.
"Now that we have passed Tianbi Mountain, one of you and I will continue to go to the Central Plains, and the other will go to the northwest, and we will truly part ways"
The tall old man smiled: "Chigong! In the years, it will be like a thousand years."
The second old man also smiled: "Uncle Xi! In time, I will live forever."
Yes, the future can be expected, and the years can be expected. I hope you will be free from disease and disaster, and live a long life.
This should be the best farewell words.
The two old people said goodbye to each other, and sincerely hoped to see each other again in the future, but they both knew that this was almost impossible.
Uncle Xi knew that this time he left for the Central Plains, and if he went back, his time might be running out.
He is over seventy years old, how many more years can he live?
And Chisongzi can live for a long time. He has lived for 800 years, so he should not mind living another 800 years.
"This time there is no turning back."
Uncle Xi bowed deeply to the direction Chisongzi left, and Chisongzi responded from a distance. He began to sing, with a very melodious and torrential tone. It was a poem called "Pei".
"The northwest direction is the area of ??Mount Chaisang, and I will pass through Mount Xun, pass through Yanzhize, and arrive at the Great River. After crossing the river, I will be in the Central Plains."
————
After the two old people parted ways, Uncle Xi continued to go north, while Chisongzi headed northwest. His pace was not slow, and the three birds on his shoulders were chirping and arguing non-stop. One of the birds said: To eat some salty soil, after this sentence came out, the three heads agreed at the same time, and did not continue to quarrel.
By the way, this bird is from Yanyuan Mountain, and it is called "???? (chang, fu)".
"Salt? Haha, this is what I want to take to the Queen Mother of the West, and some of it will be put back in the stone chamber in Jingshan Mountain. You are so greedy, you want to eat this bit of precious salt!"
Chi Songzi reprimanded the three-headed bird, and the three-headed bird chirped and complained.
? Follow you guy, travel all over the world, there is no credit but also hard work, is it easy for us to be forced to rely on us all the way! After listening to this radio broadcast for more than half a year, I didn't even give me any precious salt!
The three-headed bird expressed dissatisfaction, then flapped its wings and flew away from Chisongzi's shoulder.
"Well, go find some salt yourself! Maybe you can see salt soil in this place!"
The red pine nuts were not pulled out, and the three-headed birds were encouraged to fly out to find them. The three angry birds cursed in the sky. It flew to the northwest, but after about half a day, when the red pine nuts were resting by the stream, it flew away. He came back with an expression of half surprise and half fear.
"Twitter!"
The three-headed bird explained the situation to Chisongzi in confusion. There was a mountain in front of it, and the road had been closed by boulders, which seemed to be man-made or animal-made.
It saw that there were people mining rock salt around, but they were all scattered and defective products, and the high-quality products were all in that mountain.
The three-headed bird said that the best salt in it is no less than the precious salt from the South China Sea in the pocket of red pine nuts.
"Is it that good?"
Chisongzi was a little surprised, but the three-headed bird said that in the closed mountain, there is a very powerful ground no, it is definitely a mountain beast!
"What does it look like?"
Chisongzi asked casually, but the three-headed bird was very greedy and wanted the beautiful salt inside.
"Twitter!"
According to the three-headed bird, the mountain beast in the Great Salt Mountain is a huge red fox with seven tails.

Uncle Xi came to a ruin. There were obviously traces of tribal life here, but now it is dilapidated, and it seems to have been destroyed by man.
He picked up a wooden sign, which was still in good condition, with distorted characters, which should be children's characters.
"Ganpan's"
He looked at Tianbi Mountain. In the far part of the mountain, which was even taller and more majestic, but sunken in, there seemed to be some shady evil spirits indistinctly.
Uncle Xi stopped here and stayed for a long time. This place was almost destroyed. He collected some things, recorded the situation here, and then continued northward.
He walked for many days.
Later, he saw a new land.
