Chapter 161 Teaching Astronomy and the Arrival of Thunderbirds
The next afternoon, Yang Tian, who hadn't slept for nearly 24 hours, suddenly stopped flipping through the book. He quietly took out the dotting pen and drew a crystal clear ice silkworm on his white jade book. The bell in the ancestral hall rang again...
Yang Xue, who was bored at the side, was stunned! What was going on? Wasn't this guy reading a book the whole time? How did he break through? For the first time, she had deep doubts about her talent for cultivation.
Yang Tian was not in the mood to care about the changes in the outside world at this moment. With the completion of the analysis of the ice silkworm, a thread in the intelligent brain was vacant, which made him feel like a waste of resources.
But at this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he quickly asked the intelligent computer: "Can the idle thread deduce a spell to accurately turn every page of the book?"
Instantly, the cold mechanical voice of the intelligent computer sounded: "Modeling has been completed according to the latest instructions. Deduction begins."
Oh my god, it actually works! Yang Tian was very confused! In fact, he really wanted to tell the intelligent brain: I just want to try it...
The short-lived excitement and random thoughts could not dispel Yang Tian's thirst for knowledge. After a short rest, he continued his book-scanning mission...
In the middle of the night, the old man who couldn't stand it any longer finally came to question him: "You kid, are you going to die? You're just in good health and you want to risk your life? I don't care, go to sleep and read after you've rested. Otherwise, I will seal this library and see if you can get in."
Yang Tian, who had been immersed in it, was suddenly interrupted. He was stunned instinctively, and then a feeling of fatigue instantly surged into his heart: "Oh, Grandpa, I am really too involved. Let's take a rest first, let's take a rest first..." While speaking, his stomach even growled...
"You didn't have dinner?" The old man looked at the people around him with a bad look while speaking.
"I've finished my meal, but I ate in a hurry." Yang Tian quickly replied with a wry smile. At that time, he was so enthusiastic about reading that he didn't have the mind to chew slowly. He just took a quick bite.
"Go, tell the kitchen to prepare some food. Don't make it too greasy. It's hard to digest late at night." While giving the instructions, the old man led Yang Tian out of the library.
Looking at the old man with a face full of blame, Yang Tian changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "By the way, grandpa, when I was touring with my cousin today, I found that the family territory is too big, right? The population is so large. How did they do it?"
As expected, the old man was just worried about his grandson, not really angry. Upon hearing this, he sighed, "Alas, all of this is also due to the influence of our ancestors. This space was originally a small world at the mountain gate, passed down from generation to generation. How can we now have such a powerful ability? The inheritance has been cut off!"
Looking at his grandson who was eager to learn, the old man explained, "Not only our Yang family, but also most of the inheritance of the cultivation sects in China has been lost. Of course, there are many reasons, such as: exhaustion of spiritual energy, extinction of rare spiritual herbs, natural disasters, man-made disasters, wars, etc. After the baptism of endless years, how many strands can still be intact?"
Yang Tian also felt something and agreed, "That's true. It's a pity that my Yang family is not a family that practices stargazing. Otherwise, the impact would be small, right?"
The old man smiled bitterly and explained, "Alas, the Yang family does have very few books on astronomy. It's not just the Yang family. There are almost no books in various sects and families that truly explore the art of stargazing."
Yang Tian was stunned and said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Is this road blocked?"
"Haha, this is a broad road, how can it be blocked? In fact, this involves the secrets of the cultivation world! Tian'er, have you heard of Sitian Pavilion?" Looking at Yang Tian's blank expression, the old man continued:
"Then you should have at least heard of the name of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, right? It was a department in the ancient imperial court that was in charge of observing astronomy and calculating the calendar. In ancient times, this department was also called the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. But outsiders don't know that the superiors of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau in all dynasties were disciples sent by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. The Imperial Astronomical Bureau and the royal families of all dynasties reached an agreement that the royal family helped the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to collect cultivation materials and astronomical books; the Imperial Astronomical Bureau helped the royal family eliminate disasters, protect the country's destiny, and safeguard the foundation for eternity."
"Let's do the math. After so many dynasties, what astronomical books are there that are still circulating? The ones currently circulating on the market are just about stargazing. Do they have anything to do with cultivation?"
Yang Tianzhen was shocked by this secret. He couldn't help but think of what his astronomy teacher Professor Sinistra said. The Western astronomy tradition was also cut off! Is there any connection between the two?
While thinking about it, Yang Tian asked casually: "Does Sikong Pavilion still exist now?"
"Of course they exist, but people from their sect rarely go out and contact other clans. I don't know what the current situation is." The old man replied.
"That's right!" At this time, the midnight snack had been delivered to the old man's courtyard, but Yang Tian was not in the mood to eat or drink. Instead, he slapped his thigh and said, "Grandpa, the astronomy course I studied at Hogwarts seems to have a strong auxiliary effect on the Yang family's practice. Do you want to try it?"
"Oh? There is such a good thing?" The old man was overjoyed when he heard it and quickly asked for details.
Of course Yang Tian would not keep the knowledge to himself. He took out the telescope used in astronomy class and started to explain it to the old man.
The old man and the young man chatted while eating. One taught seriously, and the other learned enthusiastically. They chatted for more than an hour until the old man almost understood the method of visualizing Venus.
In the next few days, Yang Tian finally got on the right track. Apart from eating and sleeping, he took root in the library. Even when he was teaching the old man knowledge of astrology and chatting with his relatives, he basically did it in the library.
On the other hand, the preparations for the ancestral worship ceremony were also in full swing, cleaning, preparing offerings, sending out invitations to the ceremony... The entire Yang family was busy...
That day, Yang Tian was still flipping through the books when he heard the old man excitedly shout, "Xiaotian, pause for a moment. Your Thunderbird has arrived."
Hearing this, Yang Tian stood up excitedly. After receiving the reply from his grandfather the day before yesterday, the old man arranged for Diao Lao to lead the team to Fiji for support. I thought it would take three to five days anyway, but it was done in two days?
With curiosity, Yang Tian, under the guidance of his grandfather, finally came to a huge iron cage. He saw inside the iron cage, a huge thunderbird with multiple pairs of wings exuding a majestic aura.
According to the information in Hagrid's reply, Yang Tian carefully observed this giant bird from Arizona, USA. That's right, the sharp eyes, the unruly temperament, and the purple arcs surging around the body are the most obvious characteristics of a wild thunderbird that has not been restricted...
Yang Tian casually picked up a branch and threw it at the Thunderbird. The next moment, lightning flashed, and the dry branch turned into charcoal in an instant...
"How is it? There shouldn't be any problem, right?" the old man asked curiously.
"Don't worry, grandpa, there will be no problem at all." Yang Tian said confidently.
The old man was delighted when he heard this: "So are you going to start your research now?"
"No hurry, wait until I carve out Qingluan, then I'll compete with this little guy, hahaha!" Yang Tian was in a good mood and said jokingly...
