Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

In fact, the bear couple would like to ask, why do you want to know this?As a Bu Yin who specializes in sacrifices, he knows too much.But he felt that this matter should not be asked.Maybe it has something to do with King Zhuang, or it really has something to do with Guan Fuxiu's ambition.

However, Guan Fuxiu's ambition has not yet been revealed.As a clergyman, he is already in the highest position of the clergy. If he wants to enter the court, there are many difficulties, not so easy.

If it is for profit, Guan Fuxiu has never asked for an increase in salary or offerings to the ancestral temple so far.He was sitting upright and quietly in front of the phoenix bird, like an exiled immortal, without any desire.Xiong Lu didn't quite believe that he was such a money-seeking person.Then... it can only be for that person.

Knowing each other since childhood, coming to Yingdu for him, knowing the phoenix pattern on his back, knowing everything about him.This is not something that casual acquaintances can do.However, as far as he learned from the palace people, Guan Fuxiu was not close to King Zhuang in the past.At least after Guan Fuxiu became Bu Yin, they had very little communication.

"What are you thinking, it's getting dark, why don't you go back?" Seeing that Xiong Lu was staring at his skirt, Guan Fuxiu became silly, and waved his fingers in front of his eyes.Xiong Lu woke up immediately, looked at the sky outside, and said cheekily: "Hey, Mr. Bu Yin, it's dark today, and I'm hungry. It takes half an hour to go back, and I will starve to death. Why don't you... ...Just hang out with Guan Buyin."

Guan Fuxiu had nothing to do with him, and said: "That's fine. But my food here is light, I'm afraid it doesn't suit your taste. By the way, since you want to stay, you can teach me what you said... the formula, I think know what that is."

"Yes, yes, I happen to have a few difficult words that I don't understand, please teach me."

Xiong Lu followed Guan Fuxiu from the Phoenix Hall to the side hall, where Guan Fuxiu rested.He had never been to this place before, so he was full of curiosity for a while.The decoration here is simple and elegant, with many bamboo curtains hanging to divide the room into several parts.There was a chess board on the ground, and Xiong Lu thought it might be used to watch Fuxiu play chess with the shadow, and some strange masks and sculptures hung on the wall, which seemed to have a lot of origin.There are quite a lot of books piled up here, much more than that of King Zhuang's bedroom, and I don't know what books he usually reads.

Walking to the middle of the room, Guan Fuxiu pointed to the cushions and said: "Sit down, I have asked them to go down to prepare the meal, and it will be served within two quarters of an hour."

Xiong Lu looked left and right, and asked: "Fuxiu, do you know how to read the sky? Why don't you teach me a little bit? I've been able to read letters and letters recently, and I can basically read letters and memorials, but it's just a little slower, and sometimes I'm a little strange. Can't read the words."

Guan Fuxiu left his seat, rummaged in front of the table for a while, found two bamboo slips, and said: "These two scrolls are about astrology, you should read it first, there will be stars tonight, after you teach me the formula, it will be completely dark Come down, the two of us can go to the observatory."

Xiong Lu picked up the scroll and began to read slowly. The grammar in the pre-Qin period was very different from the modern one.He can read Chinese characters, but apart from everyday expressions, some sentences are incomprehensible, so he has to read them and ask them here and there.

The little girls presented all the dishes.Xiong Lu thinks that the little girls in this ancestral temple are very beautiful, and they are the kind with fairy spirit.They are very young, the oldest looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a light figure and a graceful figure.It wasn't until the little girls finished serving the dishes and all went out that Xiong Lu looked away.

He stared at people, not because of lust, but because he was confused, so he took a few more glances.He asked: "Fuxiu, are you the only priest in the ancestral temple of Chu State? What do those little girls do?"

Guan Fuxiu said: "The girls here are selected from all over the state of Chu to serve in the ancestral temple. They stay here at most until they are 16 years old and then return to their hometown. If you are lucky, you can marry an official of the current dynasty or a nobleman's son. They practice self-cultivation in this ancestral temple, guarding the eternal lanterns for the ancestral temple, guarding the statues of the gods of Chu and the spiritual seats of the ancestors of Chu. Among them, those who are good at dancing can play fairy maids in the sacrificial ceremony. I am not the only priest here. Bu Yin, in charge of the ancestral temple, is mainly in charge of the main hall and the Phoenix hall. In the back hall, there lives a woman named Lan Gu. She used to be one of these girls, but because she was very talented and unwilling to leave, she became She is a sleeper, interpreting dreams for others. When I am in doubt, I often visit her and talk to her about the method of interpreting dreams. She is older than me, and she was here when I came, and now...about 27 Eight years old."

Xiong Lu observes the dishes in this temple, they are indeed bland.The dishes here are about the same as the vegetarian dishes in the monk's temple, the difference is that there is meat.Does Guan Fuxiu eat these every day?Xiong Lu stretched out his chopsticks, took a bite of the fish and tasted it, and found it to be quite good.

"There is also a tortoise in the side hall, named Peng Sheng. He specializes in the method of tortoise divination. He is responsible for divination with tortoise shells during major sacrificial activities. His side hall is more lively than mine, and several disciples learn from him. Occupation. But he is not in the side hall at this time, but wandering away, only keeping two or three disciples who are better learned, in case of emergencies."

Xiong Lu looked at Fuxiu while eating, and said: "Eat quickly, and explain to me later, I'm not in a hurry."

Guan Fuxiu is only seventeen, but he is already Bu Yin, and his status is higher than that of Nalan Gu and Peng Sheng.In other words, his ability must be beyond the reach of these two.He thought of the overwhelming bats that day, and felt a little terrified.

After dinner, he taught Guan Fuxiu mathematics.What he demonstrated to Luo Ao today were some simple mathematical applications, Arabic numerals, the Pythagorean theorem, and multiplication and division.In fact, in the Shang Dynasty, some people put forward the characteristics of the Pythagorean theorem of "three-fold four-string five", but it was not systematically applied and proved.Today he used several methods to prove it, and demonstrated the calculation rules of non-right triangles, completely bluffing Luo Ao.When he left, Rong Ao was still using Arabic numerals to prove the law he said, I don't know if it has stopped now.

Xiong Lu began to explain on the sand table, and Guan Fuxiu didn't even blink his eyes. He asked, "How far did arithmetic reach in your era?"

"What I just demonstrated, Arabic numerals can be learned in kindergarten, multiplication and division is learned in elementary school, and the Pythagorean Theorem is in junior high school. I am a liberal arts student, and I didn't learn advanced mathematics in high school, but high school mathematics is much more difficult than this. As for college mathematics... for me, that's a bible..."

"In other words, these contents were known by almost everyone in your era, right?"

The bear couple nodded.

Guan Fuxiu said with emotion: "People have always regarded arithmetic as a trivial way, and did not pay attention to it. Many people can't even figure out the simplest addition and subtraction, which is really inconvenient. If you are like you, learn more arithmetic methods, these The problem will be solved.”

Guan Fuxiu used bamboo sticks to write and draw on the sand table, and asked him a few questions from time to time.Xiong Lu found that Guan Fuxiu's mind was almost as intelligent as that of Yan Ao's, perhaps even worse. In modern times, he might be a university bully.

You kid is a half-immortal who likes to cut, isn't a half-immortal who specializes in pretending to be gods and ghosts to fool people?Why are you so smart!He felt that if he was an ancient person, and someone suddenly told him so much, he would have passed out.Ke Guan Fuxiu immediately memorized it, and even drew inferences from one instance, which is really scary.

It was already late at night, and after counting Fuxiu several times, I thought it was almost done, and then suddenly remembered to take Xiong Lu to the observatory.

Xiong Lu leaned to the side, a little sleepy, looked around in a daze, only thought that the Fuxiu under the lamp was very beautiful.In his own world, he has never seen such a handsome brother.Those little fresh meats on TV, after much deliberation, seem to be unable to catch up.I don't know what kind of handsome and beautiful parents can give birth to such a son.

"King, are you sleepy?"

Xiong Lu woke up with a start and said, "No, didn't you want to take me to the observatory?"

Guan Fuxiu put down the bamboo branch in his hand, put on the lantern, and said, "Come with me."

The observatory is built behind the Jongmyo, and the steps are accumulated one after another, making the platform almost as high as the top of the Jongmyo.Xiong Lu followed Guan Fuxiu's footsteps and walked up step by step.In fact, the observatory is not too high, about the height of a four or five-story building, but in this era, it is already considered very high.

The top of the observatory is a small flat area.The bear couple was a little tired from climbing, and sat down on the edge.Guan Fuxiu put the lantern aside and sat down beside him.There was a vast Milky Way above his head. He looked up and felt extremely comfortable.

"Fuxiu, do you know? In our era, although the development was rapid, the damage to the environment was also great. When I was young, the starry sky was almost as bright as it is now. But when I grow up, such a clear night sky, It’s hard to see it again.”

Guan Fuxiu took out a scroll from his sleeve, unfolded it under the lantern, and said to the southern sky, "That's where the Suzaku Seven Stars are."

"28 constellations, right? In my time, the origin of these 28 constellations was no longer available to people. It is said... the earliest unearthed documents are from the Warring States period, and it cannot be traced back. Where did the 28 constellations come from? Is there any time?"

"This Fuxiu doesn't know about it. He only knows that there are records in ancient books passed down from generation to generation. Fuxiu didn't examine its source."

Xiong Lu looked at the picture held in Guan Fuxiu's hand, and carefully searched for it against the vast night sky.But he only searched for a while, and then chatted about the Milky Way and the solar system, and once again bluffed Guan Fuxiu.The two were watching the stars on the observatory, looking up at the boundless night sky, and there was one more person beside them, and the Xiong couple didn't feel lonely anymore.
