Tomb Robbery: Successor to the King, starting in Yunnan Worm Valley

Chapter 502 Star Turtle
  Deep in the mountains, they still retain the sacred bronze turtle, which can be used for inferences and divination.

As for the markings and inlaid gems on the copper turtle shell, Wang Ye was even more familiar with it.

These things correspond to the stars and are completely in line with the feng shui of the stars.

Wang Ye could even roughly deduce the casting age of this bronze turtle through the position of the stars on the tortoise shell and the corresponding relationship between them. It was indeed four thousand years ago.

Ordinary people look up at the stars and see the eternal stars.

But for those who are proficient in star feng shui, the star map in the sky is changing.

The North Star of 10,000 years ago is not even the same star as the modern North Star.

Not only the North Pole, but also the shape and orientation of the Beidou are somewhat different from modern times.

Although they are all spoons, the shape of the spoons changes.

There is no perfect one-to-one correspondence between the Seven-Star Beidou in ancient times and the modern Seven-Star Beidou.

As for the more ancient times, the Big Dipper was not even seven stars, but nine stars.

In addition to the seven stars that can be seen now, there are two hidden stars on the left and right.

It is now almost difficult to see with the naked eye and can only be seen with professional astronomical observation equipment.

But in ancient times, people who were proficient in the art of astronomy already knew that there were two hidden stars in the Beidou, and they accurately marked their locations and gave them names.

This is very outrageous. In an era without telescopes and other observation equipment, it was almost an impossible task.

The only explanation is that these two hidden stars were visible to the naked eye a long time ago and were brighter than they are now.

People who are proficient in star feng shui can even deduce the cause of distance from now through star charts.

Latitude, location, direction, and more can also be inferred.

There is far more information on a star map than ordinary people imagine.

Wang Ye stretched out his hand and touched the bronze turtle.

Soon a system prompt sounded.

"The system detected that the host came into contact with the ancient shamanic tribe's sacred object, the Star Turtle, which absorbed a thousand points of national luck."

"The system detected that the host came into contact with the ancient shamanic tribe's sacred object, the Star Turtle, and the Star Feng Shui technique was upgraded to the top level."

"The system detected that the host came into contact with the ancient Wuxie tribe's sacred object, the Star Turtle, and obtained Wuxie flow astrology."

In this brief moment of questioning, countless starry sky patterns flooded into Wang Ye's mind.

Various stars were moving rapidly in Wang Ye's mind, drawing countless beautiful and strange orbits.

A huge network is intertwined in the sky, forming various magnificent and dazzling patterns.

There was an unexpected gain?

Wang Ye didn't expect this at all.

Not only has Tianxing Feng Shui been promoted to the highest level.

Tianxing Feng Shui is already comparable to Qingwu Feng Shui, which Hu Bayi is good at.

It's just one phase of heaven and one phase of earth.

However, Tianxing Feng Shui has a very big flaw, that is, it is too complicated.

Because there are so many motion operations involved in astronomy, in ancient times, and even in the Middle Ages, the ancient science of mathematical operations was not an explicit one.

The mainstream Confucianism of the ancients regarded these things as skills and inferior knowledge, and believed that scholars who followed the right path should not study these things.

At the very least, study medical skills or the Book of Changes.

Therefore, the development of Tianxing Feng Shui has received certain restrictions.

It is difficult for ordinary people to learn Tianxing Feng Shui to the highest level.

Of course, in addition to calculations, another point is that the observation data and experience of the stars are monopolized in the hands of the royal family.

In ancient times, it was taboo to observe the sky at night.

Basically, only people from the Qintian Prison are responsible for such things. Among the people, no one cares about things like showing a ghost house, reading Feng Shui, reading palms, touching bones and drawing lots to interpret hexagrams.

But among the people, if you watch the sky at night and predict national events, you will either be arrested and beheaded quickly, or, like Liu Bowen, you will find a reliable leader and rebel against his mother.

Therefore, Wang Ye was very surprised that Tianxing Feng Shui was at full level.

Of course the biggest surprise is yet to come.

Astrology!
  Or witchcraft astrology.

This thing is not common.

According to the current mainstream theory, the origin of astrology is not in the Central Plains, but in the ancient Tianzhu area.

Moreover, the most fully developed areas are not the Central Plains, but Europe and the Near East.

Astrology is not astronomy. If it is better than astronomy, no one in the Central Plains is afraid of it.

Astrology is the science of divination using the stars.

Even now, there are still a lot of people who believe in this stuff.

The most typical thing is that any white-collar worker in the office now knows some terms such as the twelve zodiac signs and Mercury retrograde.

Strictly speaking, these words are all proper terms of astrology.

Even the appearance of the twelve constellations in the Central Plains is much older than most people imagine.

It is even possible that some constellations were introduced to the Central Plains thousands of years ago.

It's just that people in the Central Plains area are better at other divination methods.

Astrology is not mainstream.

In any case, astrology is also a very serious and well-established set of theories.

It is much more sophisticated than the pendulum that was first tinkered with by miners, geologists and homeless people.

After Wang Ye got astrology, it cooperated with the divination of the snake god's bones and pendulum. In addition, Wang Ye's divination accuracy was as high as cheating. It was a very practical tool.

When you are in doubt, make a fortune.

Wang Ye slowly took his hand off the star turtle.

While he felt happy after acquiring new skills, looking at the corpses of Zhou Guo, it was inevitable that he would feel heavy.

Feng Shigu really deserves to die.

Wang Ye already roughly knew why Feng Shigu wanted to arrest these people and torture them desperately.

It is because these people are good at astrology and can derive predictions through witchcraft astrology.

Feng Shigu was obsessed with seeking immortality and reaching heaven in one step, so he imprisoned these people and tortured them non-stop.

Let them make calculations for themselves to see if they can become immortals.

Moreover, Wang Ye also found some words written in blood on the corpses around him, which were left on the inside of his clothes.

Obviously, these people also know that their final fate must be death, so before they die, they want to record the history of their tribe as much as possible.

Wang Ye looked at some and was even more surprised, because he found that the identities of these people were quite extraordinary.

People from these tribes are the tombkeepers of Wu Xian’s tomb!
  Back then, when the witchcraft culture was at its peak, there were more than a dozen tribes of witchcraft culture, large and small, in the Wuxia Coffin Mountain area.

These tribes united together to worship the underground fire god.

They also discovered the Pangu Vein Feng Shui treasure land that appeared underground.

It's just that these people believe that the Pangu veins in the ground are transformed from the corpses of the giant gods killed by the God of Fire that they believe in.

They gave their Flame God a name, Zhu Rong!

When Wang Ye saw this, he had goosebumps all over his body.
