The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Chapter 102 Principle Source
In his previous life, Shi Feiyang studied magic, explored the source, and analyzed its underlying logic.

Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, Bagua, Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and even the sixty-four hexagrams were originally used by ancient ancestors to calculate astronomy and make calendars, and later derived from mathematics, music, medicine, architecture, etc. under this framework.

At that time, he was studying the relationship between the five elements and the five tones, and found that the five elements were not simply used to fit the five tones. The law of tuning had an internal logic. When he turned to music, he discovered a past in the textbooks, and even In all kinds of extracurricular readings, there is a name that I have never heard of - Zhu Zaiyu.

Zhu Zaiyu was of the same generation as Emperor Longqing Zhu Zaihe, and was equivalent to the uncle of Emperor Wanli.

He used a large abacus with eighty-one gears to calculate the square root and cube root with an accuracy of twenty-five significant figures, created the twelve equal temperaments, accurately measured the density of mercury and other substances, and designed the world's earliest tuning instrument. He made the earliest prototype instrument of the piano and founded the dance syllabus... He is one of the greatest astronomers, historians, mathematicians, musicians, and dance experts in Chinese history.

Shi Feiyang was initially stunned by his big plan and imagined what it would look like. Later, the deeper he dug, the more unfathomable it became.

But it is a pity that he was facing the high school entrance examination at that time. Music did not belong to academic studies or mathematics. It was just an extracurricular knowledge. After understanding how the ancients determined the music, he did not get involved too much until he studied the cave spirit. It was only when I learned how to use the Zheng that I remembered this great man again. It can be said that if he had not learned about Zhu Zaiyu and related music knowledge in his previous life, he would not have been able to use the Dongling Zheng in a short period of time. Even if he understood the usage afterwards, at least he would not be able to use it. It has to be ten or even decades later.

He remembered that Zhu Zaiyu lived from the Jiajing Dynasty to the Wanli Dynasty. The specific situation was unknown, so he asked Emperor Wanli about it.

When Emperor Wanli heard about Zhu Zaiyu, he also knew this person. There were thousands of princes in the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor could only remember a few of them, but this Zhu Zaiyu was a strange person.

From the emperor's point of view, it is naturally not his intellectual contributions, but Zhu Zaiyu's father, Zhu Hounan, who angered Emperor Jiajing and was imprisoned in Fengyang. It was not until Emperor Jiajing died and Emperor Longqing came to power that he pardoned Zhu Hounan and ordered him to Returned home and became King Zheng again.

Later, Zhu Hounan also died, and it was logical that Zhu Zaiyu should succeed him as King Zheng. However, Zhu Zaiyu repeatedly wrote letters requesting that brothers from other clans should inherit the throne.

Emperor Wanli was proud of the Five Mountains Soothing Pill. After a good sleep, he woke up refreshed the next day. His toothache had long since disappeared. After another four days of recovery, his leg injury was also healed.

His leg injury was very serious. It was rotten to the bone and spread from the leg to the foot. He asked many famous doctors and Taoist priests to treat him. Over the years, instead of getting better, it became more and more serious. Now, not only has the injury improved, but within a few days, his flesh has healed. They were all overgrown, and the skin was regenerated, smoother and smoother than the skin on other parts of the legs, like a baby's.

When Feiyang came that day, he was limping and needed help from the palace people. This time he ran on his own, walking as fast as flying!
He regarded Shi Feiyang as a real god and entertained him for days, asking him for advice on how to live forever, how to cultivate immortality, and how to ascend to heaven.

Shi Feiyang naturally had the skills that could satisfy his wishes, but he was unwilling to teach him. He didn't know what kind of skills he would actually practice and what the consequences would be. After all, the reputation of Emperor Wanli in history was not very good. There has never been an emperor who cultivated immortality since Xia Qi. Only King Wen was proficient in magic and could create acquired gossip. He passed away before the Zhou Dynasty could be established. He didn't know what violent chain reaction it would trigger.

However, he thought about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times, all of whom were super powerful and able to move mountains and seas, and he had some expectations in his heart and wanted to give it a try...

He thought about it for a long time and told Emperor Wanli: "Taoism educates all living beings. All living beings can cultivate immortality, but they have different roots and different paths to immortality. You are an emperor, and you are different from ordinary people in the world. Your Majesty may give up wine, sex and wealth, just like the ancient Yellow Emperor did , donate to the world, build a special room, sit on white grass, live for three months, forget benevolence and righteousness, forget rituals and music, fast in mind, forget about sitting, are they the same as Datong?"

"This..." Emperor Wanli was speechless. Shi Feiyang said: "I will first teach your majesty a little foundation-building method to prolong life and maintain life. If your majesty can practice it, and at the same time understand the Tao, if you can achieve something in a few years, I will teach you the immortal method."

Emperor Wanli nodded: "That's fine. It's not that I can't let go of these things. It's true... I've been suffering from injuries and illnesses all these years, huddled in the harem, living from side to side. Now when I look back at the former dynasty, there are so many things waiting to be done." The image, Master Long said, is not something I don't want to do, but I really can't... When the government is harmonious and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I will retreat and forget about it, hoping to achieve immortality."

Shi Feiyang expressed his approval: "This is very good."

Emperor Wanli wanted to give Shi Feiyang a title, give him a first-grade salary, cast a seal, and asked him which famous mountain in the world he liked, and wanted to give him a Taoist temple, and let him lead the world's Taoist sects and serve the country in Xianling Palace. Pray to ensure smooth weather, and ask him to prepare to host a universal feast...

Shi Feiyang looked at the string of words such as "Bao Guo", "Gao Shang" and "Yuan Yang", a total of eighteen characters, and finally added the title of "Tianshi", he couldn't help laughing and shook his head: "These are not what I want. "

His coming to the capital was almost temporary, and he would never stay here permanently. As for the rewards, they were even more boring to him, just causing trouble. Could he still let Emperor Wanli grant Mount Emei to him, and then lead a team to run away? Is Mount Emei cutting down mountains and destroying temples?
Emperor Wanli repeatedly wanted to express his gratitude to him and also wanted to keep him by his side.

Shi Feiyang said: "Your Majesty, these rewards are far less valuable than Zhu Zaiyu."

Emperor Wanli couldn't understand it, so Shi Feiyang told him about Zhu Zaiyu's various achievements and good deeds, and then led him to ask him to study more and understand the Tao: "In ancient times, when calculating the way of heaven, three hundred The number of sixty days in the sky is used to cut a circle, calculate the longitude and latitude of the celestial sphere, and determine the number of circumferences. The sky is on the earth, and the numbers of Pythagorean, Qian, and strings are generated. Using this to infer the number of the sky is also a way to understand the way of heaven. And the rhythm, the investigation of things, astronomy, Calendar, medicine, etc., and even the laws of governing the country are the same."

In Chinese history, there is no division of subjects, and there are often outstanding people in all subjects. This is because all subjects in China have a common source, that is, the way of heaven, and the underlying logic is interoperable, including Mozi, Zu Chongzhi, Shen Kuo, Guo Shoujing, Zhu Zaiyu, etc. Wait, they are all general masters.

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli nodded repeatedly. Regardless of whether he really agreed or not, at least on the surface he looked like a student listening to the teacher and accepting the teachings with an open mind.

Afterwards, he wanted to issue an imperial edict announcing Zhu Zaiyu's arrival in Beijing. Shi Feiyang quickly said: "I can't bother the old gentleman with traveling long distances. I'd better go myself."

Emperor Wanli seemed to be disdainful when he saw that Zhu Zaiyu did not want his reward. However, he respected Zhu Zaiyu so much that he felt a little jealous in his heart, but he could not say anything for fear of offending Shi Feiyang. Just fly away and never come back.

Finally, after Shi Feiyang lived in the capital for half a month, Emperor Wanli finally gave him the title of "Jiutian Yuanyang Zhenren" and made a seal to spread the news to the world. He also found people to select a site in the capital to build a Yuanyang Palace for Shi Feiyang. Regardless of whether Shi Feiyang wanted it or not, he would build it anyway, and then assigned little Taoist priests to go in for daily maintenance, waiting for Shi Feiyang to do so. Feiyang comes back.

　Thanks to "I wish I could sleep for a long time without waking up" and "Xiling Feiyu" for their reward support! I wish the two of you a happy family reunion, a warm house full of warmth, romance, wealth and leisure, and you don’t have to worry about anything every day, just be happy.
