Chapter 76: The True Meaning of Long Live To Heaven

After hearing what Chunting said, I really felt that he asked another meaningless question.

Shen Lang had explained it clearly just now. Wansui Tongtian is the year name used by Wu Zetian. Then we will naturally think of the time when Wu Zetian used this year name.

It’s such a simple and easy-to-understand thing, why did Chunting ask again and again?

"Long live the heaven, year name..."

After all, Ling Xuan has been following Chunting for a long time, and our tacit understanding is not something we can compare with each other. He seemed to gradually understand the meaning of Chunting when he heard this. After talking to himself, he looked at Chunting and tried to test.

"Because Wansuitongtian is an era name, we do not think of other places, but we clearly know that it represents a time. Is the mystery here above this era name?"

Hearing Ling Xuan's guess, Chunting looked at him with admiration and asked the last question at the same time.

"Since you know that Wansuiting Tian is an era name, do you know that the so-called Wansuiting Tian is exactly what year it is?"

"It was 696 AD."

Ling Xuan seemed to have had his own calculations in his mind. After hearing Chunting’s inquiry, he did not hesitate at all, but answered directly.

"Wu Zetian changed the reign of the year of Wansui Dengfeng in March of Dingsi. In that year, Li Jinzhong of Khitan rebelled and the second Zhang became the attendant of Wu. If I was not wrong, it would be calculated using the current Age method to calculate it in 696 AD."

When Chunting saw Ling Xuan answering his question perfectly, he finally nodded with satisfaction. Then he glanced around casually and said calmly.

"The clues are enough. If you still don't know what to do, then you might as well think about what the layout here is related to."

When Shen Lang saw Chunting's reaction, he knew that he had started to sit on the wall and watch again, so he did not hide his dissatisfaction at all and muttered to the side.

"Isn't this another nonsense? Since this is the place used by Senior Guanshan to store secrets, it is of course related to Guanshan. It's impossible that there is anything strange to my Shen family..."

"No, Shen Lang, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that."

Chunting had a very good hearing, so naturally he heard that Shen Lang did not complain specifically, but he was not angry either, but looked at Shen Lang and explained.

"I mean it is not to say who it is built for, but to say what the architectural style here is related to."

Since we asked about architecture, our understanding is naturally not as good as that of Mr. Chen, who is the successor of Luban. When Mr. Chen saw us looking at him, he thought for a moment and then answered.

"Although this Tongtian Palace was built in the Tang Dynasty, it generally follows the architectural style of the Qin Dynasty. It is not blindly pursuing gorgeousness, but presents a majestic and grand atmosphere. However, although the Tongtian Palace is generally built in the style of the Qin Dynasty, the details are slightly different.

The construction here is different from that of all dynasties in China. Although it is not recorded in writing, it can be seen everywhere that the construction worker follows the Taoist concept of unity between man and nature, and can be said to be a fine product in the Chinese dynasties."

"The leader, from the current situation, we are back to everything.asxs., then we might as well start thinking again."

Hearing what Mr. Chen said, Niu Kelian suddenly walked up to me and looked at me and put forward his own ideas.

"We don't know the meaning of this text for the time being. Qin bricks are just for the ancestor dragon. In addition to these, the only thing we can buy is the Twelve Days of General Picture on this door and the Qin seal script engraved on the side."

When we heard Niu Kelian’s statement, we nodded at the same time.

"That's right, Ke Lian, what do you think?"

He was completely right. The layout in Tongtian Palace was extremely simple. Not to mention this plaque, the only things that the construction worker could do was the patterns and words on the twelve doors.

Niu Kelian did not look at us, but looked at the pushed open door in front of him, staring at the pattern on it and said seriously.

"We have always thought that the Qin seal characters on these twelve doors are useless. At best, the senior Guanshan was worried that the later generations would not be able to learn and could not recognize the heavenly general, so they used words to hint at the heavenly general pattern. However, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this statement was not correct."

Looking at our puzzled eyes, Niu Kelian looked at Chunting and spoke again.

"Because the meaning of Chunting was very obvious just now, he said that the person waiting for in Tongtian Palace was not someone else, but the leader of Guanshan. But since he was the leader, he naturally knew the arrangement of the mechanisms here, and it was impossible for him to not be able to learn skills."

Although there are still doubts about my identity as the leader, Niu Kelian's statement is not wrong.

I interrupted him and looked at him and confirmed seriously.

"I understand. Since the leader is here in person, as the leader, there is no need for any hint, so these twelve Qin seal characters are definitely of other uses."

Niu Kelian nodded and bowed to me and replied.

"That's right, this is exactly my guess."

Yihe stopped talking since just now, until he heard Niu Kelian and I talk about this, he slapped his thighs suddenly and shouted at us.

"I see!"

Looking at Yihe's reaction, Qi Zhi asked quickly.

"Yi and brother, what did you think of?"

"Because Mr. Chen said that the buildings here strictly follow the same principles of civil and engineering, and imply the Taoist concept of unity between man and nature, I had a bold guess."

Yihe was full of excitement. He first glanced at Chunting who was silent with his light, then walked to me and spoke.

"Sir, think about it carefully, where will these twelve days originate?"

Although I didn't understand why Yihe asked such a meaningless question, I still answered him patiently when I saw him excited.

"The twelve days will come from Liuren, which is one of the reference conditions used in Liuren to predict the success or failure of things. However, if we talk about its origin, it should be the saying that it originated from the heavenly stems and earthly branches."

Yihe did not refute, and asked in an even more excited tone.

"Have the leader ever thought that Ling Xuan said just now that the first year of Long Sui Tongtian was 696 AD, but people in ancient times did not understand the AD chronology method we use now. So how did they use to record the chronology at that time?"

After listening to Yihe, I finally realized it in my mind.

Looking at the first year of Long Live Tongtian written on the plaque, I also understood why Chunting cared so much about time just now.
