At the break of dawn.
The roof tiles are covered in silver, and the quiet small earthen courtyard and fields look particularly peaceful under the cover of white snow.
Sunlight shines through the bright wooden windows into the house.
With some brilliant sunshine,
Su Chen opened his bright black pupils, licked his chapped fingertips, and carefully flipped through the yellowed "Emperor's Calendar".
The "Imperial Calendar" is the royal system of the immortal emperors of the past dynasties, who ordered the imperial ministers to take charge of the astronomical calendar, build immortal altars to worship heaven, observe celestial phenomena day and night, and calculate solar terms.
Then based on the twelve values gods, the six black paths and the six zodiacs, the sun, the moon, the twenty-eight constellations, and the seven constellations in the southeast and northwest, the daily pros and cons are deduced.
The Immortal Dynasty spent countless human and financial resources to compile this royal holy book of the Immortal Dynasty that can "seek good luck and avoid evil".
The "Imperial Calendar" is the sacred scripture of the ancient immortal dynasties that governs the country. It can explore the changes in yin and yang in the land of China and predict the general trend of the world, good and bad disasters in advance.
He heard his father say,
It is said that only the Immortal Emperors of the past dynasties can possess the original copy of this treasure book, while only a few people, such as the Minister of Qin Tian Jian and Zheng Zheng, can possess its copies.
Of course, the ministers of the Qintian Supervisor in the past dynasties were all disciples of the Yin-Yang Sect's guardian level or above, so the master of the Yin-Yang Sect also held another copy of the "Imperial Calendar".
As for the book in Su Chen's hand, it is of course not the "Daji Imperial Calendar" from the current Daji Immortal Dynasty, but the more ancient "Daji Imperial Calendar" left by the previous dynasty.
Because the trajectory of the sun, moon, stars, and celestial phenomena in the previous dynasty is slightly different from the trajectory of the current Daji Immortal Dynasty, the two versions of the "Imperial Calendar" are naturally different. There may sometimes be errors, and some minor flaws are inevitable.
However, this is still an extremely rare and unique copy of the "Imperial Calendar" in the world. Most of it is effective, but occasionally it fails.
"{winter solstice}!
Prediction of good and bad luck: Winter Solstice, when the cathode and yang begin to grow, it is a day of great auspiciousness and good fortune!
Suitable for: making alliances, building nets, lighting fires, and bringing in animals!
Taboo: None. "
Su Chen turned to the winter solstice page of the "Imperial Calendar" and stroked the ancient words with his fingertips. He looked at the words carefully. His eyes suddenly brightened and he looked surprised.
This "Imperial Calendar" was in his father's hands before, and this was the first time he looked through it. It was indeed magical.
Yeah~!
Good luck on the winter solstice!
Today is actually a rare auspicious day. If I do these tasks, I will gain more than usual!
"Yi: Make an alliance?
Is it appropriate to make a covenant? ...I am penniless, and I have no bride price. Even if I have a woman, it will be of no use. This item can be automatically ignored.
Yi: Make a net? !
To build a net means to build a net for fishing.
Could it be that the most suitable thing today is to go fishing and make money? This one works.
Yi: Make a fire?
There was nothing at home, not even rice or meat to make a fire for cooking, so forget about this. I guess if you catch fish in a net, you can make a fire to cook it!
Suitable for: bringing in animals.
In the Daji Immortal Dynasty, this meant raising spiritual beasts. It is the custom of the people of the Immortal Dynasty to keep spirit beasts in captivity as their natal beasts. ...But I don’t have a natal animal, so I’ll skip this one too! "
Su Chen flipped through the winter solstice chapter of the yellowed "Imperial Calendar" and pondered it carefully.
Among the four "taboos", only "building a net" is feasible.
According to his understanding, the "Imperial Calendar" is a great divination technique of the Yin and Yang Sect. It is a vague deduction of throwing dice on countless events in a wide range and guessing the hit rate.
The chance of guessing is not 100% accurate, and the true hit rate will not exceed 20%.
In other words, if you follow the guidance of the "Imperial Calendar", there is about a 20% chance of achieving something, and an 80% chance of being in vain and working in vain.
This hit rate is indeed not high!
But even if the chance of hitting is only 20%, so low, it is still better than acting blindly without any clue.
If you do other things randomly, the chance of harvest may even be zero, or very slim.
"Since the "Imperial Calendar" has been deduced, today is the best time to 'build a net', so let's go fishing!"
Su Chen quickly determined his life today,
In addition to the three unattainable tasks of "making alliances, making fires, and raising livestock", the remaining "making nets" and fishing are the only jobs he can earn money from today.
Next, you still need to determine where to "set a net" to catch fish in order to get big catch!
After all, even if the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty was just a Luoyi Imperial City, it was still very large. There are numerous small rivers, wells, caves, and ponds throughout the city, where fish, shrimps, turtles, and turtles can be caught.
And if you leave the city, the area between heaven and earth in the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty is extremely vast, and the Luohe and Yihe rivers stretch for thousands of miles.
Obviously, rare and valuable fish cannot be caught anywhere.
Otherwise, all the fishermen in the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty who go to build nets today will make a fortune. This is impossible. There must be only a handful of fishermen who are lucky enough to catch big fish.
At this time, Su Chen picked up the yellow and white tortoise shell.
The "Imperial Calendar" has already indicated for itself that today we have to build a net, and now we still need to use the "divination" technique to determine the scope of fishing.
"Yin Yang Disciple Su Chen, please protect me from the First Saint Yellow Emperor! We're going to 'build a net' today, where can we catch the big stuff?!"
Su Chen held up the tortoise shell and bowed respectfully three times, bit his middle finger, and used his kung fu to force out a drop of Yin Hong Qi and blood essence containing spiritual power, and dripped it on the tortoise shell.
Then, place the piece of tortoise shell on top of the ancient bronze lamp of Tianming Black Bird, and slowly smoke it over a slow fire.
soon,
Soon, the drop of essence and blood gradually dried up on the tortoise shell, and tiny cracks began to appear on the blood stain.
"Chichi!"
The black bird's blue light flickered, and the blood stains suddenly exploded.
A straight, crisp, and clear large crack instantly appeared on the dried Qi and blood essence, pointing to the east without any suspense from the crack to the end.
The straighter and crisper the bloody cracks on the tortoise shell are, the more clearly pointed they are. This is a good omen and indicates that everything will go well.
If the cracks are blurred, or even torn apart, and the chaos cannot be distinguished, it is a bad sign, which means that the thing is not feasible and must be given up decisively.
"Tai! Leap out of the East!"
Su Chen suddenly understood.
The tortoise shell divination has a result, and the direction of the "net" points to the east!
Go east, good luck!
However, the east is vast and endless, and this range is still too large.
How far east should we travel?
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of rare yarrow with a slight pain. This object is used for divination and is extremely rare. Use one less one and must use it with care.
"Su Chen, a disciple of Yin Yang, respectfully asks for guidance from the late Saint Yu Emperor! How many miles east will we go to 'build a net' today?"
Su Chen lit the yarrow he picked out on the black bird blue lamp, chanting in his mouth, then bowed respectfully and carefully placed it on the table.
The yarrow burned, then extinguished after a moment, and the ashes were about three inches long.
"The yarrow burns to ashes, and it stops within three inches! ...One inch to one mile, three inches to three miles!"
Su Chen stared at the ashes of burning yarrow with wide eyes, carefully measured the length of the ashes, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Only three miles to go!
It’s a bit close!
I'm afraid this hasn't even left the Tongtong Alley!
What valuable and precious fish can be caught so close? !
"According to the "Imperial Calendar" deduction, today is appropriate: build a net!
Divination and deduction, benefit from the East!
Ling Yarrow deduction, travel three miles!
My Yin Yang Gate divination secret technique, "Imperial Calendar" is about 20% accurate, turtle shell and yarrow divination are more accurate, each improving the accuracy by about 30%.
Adding them all up, it’s about 80% accurate!
If you go fishing today, you will be able to catch rare and large fish. "
"Three divination times are auspicious, this is God's will!"
Su Chen's eyes were firm and he no longer hesitated. He immediately put the "Imperial Calendar", tortoise shell and yarrow used for divination into a brocade bag and hid it in a wooden box under the bed.
He went to the stove and matchhouse next to the main house, took a small fish basket and a pair of fishing net bags and tied them around his waist. He locked the copper lock of the main house with a bronze key and left the small earth courtyard to go fishing.
