Chapter Thirty-Six: Old Man Xuanjia
Like a landlord Lao Cai who has never seen much of the world, the Black Dragon wishes to get into these treasures and bury himself.
Bing Xuanyue was crawling at the door of the stone house, her eyes were sticking to honey, and she stared firmly at the inner elixirs of the three monsters placed in the jade basin.
"Want?" Hei Jiao used his claws to weigh a purple inner elixir the size of a crabapple.
Only monsters in the Lingxu Realm can condense the inner elixir, which has a very powerful effect. Not only can it be used to refine high-grade elixirs, but top-level beasts with the same attributes can easily evolve into monsters that activate spiritual intelligence after devouring the inner elixir.
The inner elixir picked out by the black dragon is covered with black air on the surface, and it seems to be the inner elixir of a highly toxic species.
"Give me this viper inner pill, everything else belongs to you." Bing Xuanyue was easy to talk to this time. Perhaps it was because of the powerful strength that the black dragon had just shown, which gave up its idea of forcing it to rob.
Ye Qing controlled the black dragon and threw the inner elixir to it: "Remember you owe me a favor."
Bing Xuanyue hurriedly took the inner pill back, and it wanted to help its sister, the sky-blue cow python, activate its spiritual wisdom.
He collected everything in the stone house, and the black dragon also soared into the fire clouds and went to the sky, returning to Feiyun River.
Ye Qing was preparing to make a cave at the bottom of Feiyun River, and then the black dragon hid inside to refine the alchemy.
Feiyun River is connected to the sea on one end and to the Yunshan on the other end. It is only more than 200 miles closest to the Juling Sect, which is very suitable for the temporary residence of the Black Dragon.
Back at the cliff at the bottom of the river where the medicine was carved, Ye Qing found that the old nest had been occupied by a turtle.
What a big turtle. This turtle's feet are as big as a water tank. The shell is covered with circles of black and shiny ribs and algae. The huge skirt is like a sperm of kelp, swinging around in the water.
"Good thing!" Ye Qing's greedy saliva flowed out. The turtle's skirt was the most delicious, and it was all collagen.
Seeing a black four-horned snake coming, the turtle bit it opens its mouth, but the black dragon slapped the forehead with a claw and sent it to the west.
After cleaning up the indigenous people, Ye Qing looked around the cliffs with the words engraved, and then controlled the black dragon to open its mouth and a real fire spurted onto the cliffs.
The hard rock cliff turned red in an instant, and then cracked under the stimulation of the river. The black dragon stepped forward and slapped it with his claws, and it collapsed in a large area. After a while, a big dark hole was tinkered under the cliff by the black dragon.
As long as you tinker with a cave higher than the water level of Feiyun River in the cliff, the pharmacy belonging to the Black Dragon will be completed.
The next morning, Ye Qing took back his mind, went to the Xiandao Courtyard, and continued to listen to Wuqing Peak explaining the bone training method of dragon and snake, and in the afternoon he continued to work as a handyman in the pharmacy.
From today on, Ye Qing has to do the work of making tiger marrow bone cream alone.
To be honest, Ye Qing really has no confidence in this job. Without the guidance of Senior Brother Lu Weisong, he could not grasp the temperature at all. As for the state of the ointment in the induction furnace, it would be better to use a chisel to dig a hole in the refining furnace and look realistic with your eyes.
He put various materials into the furnace in turn, and Ye Qing could only place all his hopes on the hourglass.
According to the records of the previous few times, the time for the preparation of Hu Zhi Xu Bone Paste is about three hours, and there will be some difference in the time of each preparation. The reason for the difference in time is the source of the fire at the bottom of the furnace.
The red tiger copper furnace burns flame stone. This kind of stone is very similar to the characteristics of coal, but it burns much longer than coal and emits more heat.
The size of the flame stones invested each time will of course cause the time for the preparation of Tiger Marrow Restoration Bone Paste to be different. However, if you don’t master the heat well, the finished product will be a huge mistake.
"I just took over and put a few pots of medicine in it. I shouldn't be driven out of the sect." Ye Qing murmured while burying his head in copying the ancient fragments.
The fragments have been copied halfway through, and the more Ye Qing is written, the more angry he is at this old man with Xuanjia. How long has this old thief lived, or is he spending all his time writing books?
People who have never copied books cannot imagine the feeling of copying more than 100,000 words in a row. And most of the words are not recognized, and they directly cut off the fun of copying and reading while making copying extremely boring and mechanized.
Copy one thousand words, copy ten thousand words, and hundreds of thousands words.
This large amount of repetition brings deeper disgust.
According to the experience of copying in the past two days, an average of three thousand words was spent. In He Jingjing's secret room, Ye Qing saw hundreds of copies of the rest on the desk, piled up like a hill.
If He Jingjing, the evil capitalist, let him copy it all...
Ye Qing had the urge to defect to the master.
Just like this, he copied it mechanically, changing the volume at a speed of half an hour. When he changed two pictures, Ye Qing mechanically picked up the next volume and was slightly stunned.
This gray animal skin scroll is intact, and it is not a text at all, but a random graffiti that is even more abstract than Picasso's paintings.
How to copy this?
Ye Qing was so angry that she wanted to tear the book to vent her anger.
Prepare to put it aside and wait until the rest is copied. Then use it to question He Jingjing, what does it mean when you put this thing in it?
Ye Qing suddenly thought of a problem.
He Jingjing probably did not find that these messy fragments were mixed with an intact animal skin scroll with no words at all.
Because the pattern on this animal skin roll was as messy as a thread ball that had been ravaged by more than a dozen kittens, Archimedes could not solve the complexity even if he came. If He Jingjing found out, she would have to pay attention to this strange book.
All the books are broken, but this one is intact, and the fool knows that it is extraordinary.
I touched the animal skin paper, and the touch was delicate and soft. I tore the edges and corners with my hands without believing in evil, but I couldn't tear it apart no matter how hard I used it.
baby!
This is the thought that Ye Qing suddenly came out of his mind.
So what kind of baby is this?
According to He Jingjing's urinary nature of her anus and fingers, when bringing back this batch of fragments, it is impossible to scan it without using spiritual thoughts to see if she can filter out the things contaminated with spiritual energy.
It seems that we can only start with the pattern.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing stared at them intently, trying to find clues that could be used to study.
This search really made Ye Qing find some clues.
It turns out that in addition to these messy patterns, the animal skin roll also has a grid and a light line similar to the Goji chess board. If the messy patterns are removed, the animal skin roll will look like a chess board.
What are the connection rules between the chessboard and these messy patterns?
Ye Qing remembered the love of Xuanjia for mathematics, and felt that there must be some pattern in it that he had not discovered.
He reached out and touched the messy patterns on the animal skin roll. Ye Qing, who was thinking hard, was suddenly shocked.
These messy patterns can actually move.
Yes, just now he accidentally stroked the messy patterns with his hands, and a line at the pressing of his fingers was moving with his fingers.
Dongdongdongdongdong~
Ye Qing's heartbeats as fierce as a drumbeat.
If you can move, it means what they can form.
After sweeping away other things on the desk, Ye Qing found a few pieces of rice paper to record it. Then, he quickly opened all the patterns and lines that were messy together with his fingers.
After separating these lines and patterns, Ye Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.
These lines and patterns are actually numbers.
The texts in this world have evolved four times, starting from ancient pictographic bone inscriptions, to ancient astronomy, to the golden seal characters three thousand years ago, and to the current texts learned by Ye Qing. In the step-by-step evolution, a large number of complex and difficult-to-express words have been abandoned, leaving behind more than 8,000 words now included in "Shuowen Jiezi".
These numbers in front of you are the golden seal characters that have been more than three thousand years.
Compared with other words, the changes in numbers are not obvious during the evolution process. Because numbers are the most commonly used words in life and are also the most important words. Starting from ancient pictographic bone inscriptions to ancient astronomical forms. From zero to nine, these ten numbers have basically set a rough stroke frame.
The ten numbers in the golden seal are not difficult to identify. The reason why Ye Qing only now discovered that they are numbers is that these numbers are connected by the head and tail of the old man Xuanjia ulterior motives.
The characteristic of the golden seal script is that the pen is graceful, and the old man Xuanjia deliberately connected these numbers together in a mess, which naturally looks like Picasso's abstract painting.
After solving the key to the problem, Ye Qing studied those faint lines again.
Seven rows horizontally and vertically…
Ye Qing's mouth and tongue were dry in an instant, and his adrenal glands were like open arteries and blood vessels, soaring rapidly.
Forty-nine grids.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a giant turtle with nine mountains on its back and appeared from the endless seven seas. People learned from the shape of the mountains on the turtle's back and all the laws of the world and the bone inscriptions used to record these laws.
Before leaving, the giant turtle left a nine-grid grid for the ancient ancestors to solve it.
After the efforts of ancient ancestors to catch the heads, the nine-grid grid was naturally untied. And they also imitated and innovated the twenty-five-grid grid, forty-nine-nine-grid grid, and eighty-one-grid grid.
How difficult is the Nine-Class grid to solve?
This can be seen from the fragment of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, which uses the nine-grid grid to make Huang Rong difficult to understand.
All the nine palaces are so difficult to solve, you can imagine the forty-nine palaces.
From one to forty-nine, you cannot repeatedly fill in the forty-nine grids, and add horizontally and vertically, which is equal to a number.
If you fill in a few fixed numbers in the square box of the palace grid, it will definitely make countless people unable to solve the complexity even if you force them into madmen.
The problem is that the forty-nine grids placed in front of Ye Qing were not filled in numbers. In fact, even if the numbers were filled in, it would be fine.
One is on the rightmost part of the middle grid, two is the left obliquely below the one, two is the diagonally below the two is three, and three is the diagonally below the three is four...
In Ye Qing's eyes, the nine-cage grid without filling in fixed numbers is easier than adding, subtracting, multiplication and division. As long as you follow the solution formula, you don't need to calculate at all, just drag these numbers into the grid.
After spending half a stick of incense, Ye Qing arranged the numbers one by one and calculated them again with paper, which was accurate.
Something shocking happened.
When Ye Qing untied the Nine Palace Grid, this animal skin book scroll actually...
There was no change at all.
Ye Qing was shocked to become a psychopath, why did there be no change?
Is Old Man Xuanjia playing tricks on him?
He slapped the animal skin book hard, and Ye Qing was about to roll up his sleeves and start scolding. Not only did he want to scold the old man Xuanjia, but he was also ready to scold He Jingjing together.
As a result, when Ye Qing slapped his palms on the animal skin book and was about to roll up his sleeves and start scolding, Ye Qing tilted his head and fainted.
People are confused and not confused.
His consciousness came into a gray room.
There was no decoration in the room, only a beard was almost drooping to the ground, and the old man was covered in pleated faces.
Chapter completed!
