Chapter 147: Huangli (Yellow Calendar)

Chapter 147: Huangli (Yellow Calendar)

Upon seeing the five characters, Chen Mu's initial reaction was:

Embarrassment.

Back when he first heard that Song Yu's organization was called "Qingbei" and that Yang Buan gave his ability the name "Vector Projection," he also felt a bit like this.

At that time, he thought they were quite good at playing around.

But now it seems that our Qiming organization is not bad either.

Even a chronicle has come out.

Should we go a step further and name the eras? Appoint an official historian?

Ziwei Dynasty? Emperor Jun Wei? Historian Tang Jing? General Zhenyuan Chen Mu, Bi Ma Wen Du Jiajia...

However, looking at everyone's reactions, they were either surprised or excited, all with an appearance of great pride.

Indeed, as the saying goes, when one person acts edgy, it's embarrassing; but when a group of people act edgy, it's the weight of history.

He flipped open the rough notebook, which detailed the historical events of the Qiming organization from the time of the disaster until 51 days after its establishment:

April 27, 20XX: A mysterious force acted upon humanity, and 11 survivors from Class 4, Grade 3 of Ziwei High School gathered in the classroom. Their abilities awakened, and Luo Hui died.

[Detailed event description: At 2:44 PM, as humans shrank, Dong Junwei searched for survivors and found the last survivor, Chen Mu, in the northeast corner of the classroom...]

April 28, 20XX: The remaining 10 members unanimously agreed to leave the classroom and relocate to the storage room on the north side of the cafeteria.

[Detailed event description: After a night's rest...]

April 30, 20XX: Gu Ping died...

So, this was a Huangli (Chinese Almanac)?!

Everyone was puzzled.

Tang Jing looked at them with a cheerful smile. "How is it?"

"Isn't this superstitious feudalism?" Chang Junyan scratched his head and fidgeted with his feet, asking foolishly.

"It could also be considered part of our traditional culture..." Chen Mu said.

During high school, it was the time when they liked to argue with others the most. Topics like traditional Chinese medicine, genetically modified organisms, and martial arts could often lead to heated debates and even fights.

Feudal superstition versus traditional culture was also a sensitive topic.

But in this day and age, the concept of Huangli was already quite unfamiliar to students. They couldn't find appropriate words to refute it for a while, especially since Tang Jing had personally written this Huangli; anyone trying to argue against it would just be making trouble for themselves.

Tang Jing's title as "Tang the Great Demon" was not for show. Despite her fragile appearance and lack of an awakened ability, she could take you down in no time if she wanted.

"So, can we start following this Huangli for our activities from now on?"

"It sounds unreliable."

"Well, it's not a bad idea. After all, not following Huangli hasn't been leading us to the best decisions either."

"Let me see... Today is good for seeking wealth. Should we go out and take a look? Maybe we'll come back with a truck full of riches."

"Today is also auspicious for marriage. Do you want me to find you a wife?"

"That sounds good."

"..."

The meanings of the trigrams in the Huangli were incomprehensible, but the auspicious and inauspicious activities for each day were interesting topics for discussion.

As they continued flipping through the pages, they happily discussed the contents.

Chen Mu went straight to the last page and found that it was written for October 4th, covering over a hundred days.

He smiled and asked Tang Jing, "Did you create all of this, or is this how it's supposed to be?"

Tang Jing replied, "Huangli actually has different versions, but I compiled this one based on the 'Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu.' It's considered the most authoritative and official version."

"There are official versions of this thing too?"

Chen Mu didn't bother to ask what the 'Xie Ji Bian Fang Shu' was. He had always thought Huangli was a unified practice throughout the country from ancient times to the present.

Who knew there could be bootleg versions of this thing?
