Chapter 111 Law
Zheng Fa looked at the pattern that the old man was pointing at.
It's not quite correct to call it a pattern; it's part of a three-dimensional graphic.
In fact, just as the old man said, this is a structure, and a partial structure - if you want to make an analogy, it is probably like the radical of a Chinese character.
It’s just that each of these graphics is three-dimensional and much more complex than Chinese characters on a flat surface.
Zheng Fa rolled the mouse and moved other symbols onto the screen.
Sure enough, at least in this result, most of the runes have this structure, and there is only one.
"Water Element..."
Zheng Fa pondered, this result easily pointed to a conjecture -
The five-element classification of runes depends on whether or not there are such small structures.
It is still unclear whether this conjecture is correct or not, but at least it gives Zheng Fa a way to analyze the runes.
"Look at the runes of gold, wood, fire and earth!"
Zheng Fa passed all the other five elements runes to Han Xiaobai.
He looked at the sky and apologized: "It's a bit late. Sorry to bother you."
"Late?" Han Xiaobai quickly typed out a line of words: "You know nothing about cultivating immortals."
...I actually know a little about this.
The old man stopped yawning and stood beside Zheng Fa in high spirits, studying the water runes with him.
Some symbols do not show this structure at first, but after the topology changes, the similar faces gradually emerge.
Zheng Fa drew this structure on paper and wrote the word "water" next to it.
"The more I look at this thing, the more interesting it becomes... You said before that runes are the movement trajectories of spiritual energy?" the old white man suddenly said.
"One of my senior sisters said that." Zheng Fa shook his head: "But I think it makes sense."
At least judging from the fact that "The Foundation Building Method of Talisman Dao" can speed up his cultivation, it can be judged that the essence of runes is indeed spiritual energy.
"Different trajectories will have different effects." The old man shook his head: "I don't understand."
Zheng Fa nodded and asked two questions:
"Besides this structure, what are the other parts of this rune used for?"
"Is the Yin-Yang attribute also a kind of structure?"
"..." The old man was also stunned when he heard it. He looked at Zheng Fa and said innocently: "How should I know? I'm just an old man. I haven't even seen what spiritual energy looks like!"
No, your status in the Xuanwei world is very high!
After an unknown amount of time, when Tang Lingwu's phone rang three times, the other party finally sent over the analysis results of the other talismans.
What made the three of them a little regretful was that perhaps the algorithm was not accurate enough, or the number of samples in the other four rows was not enough.
They only found structures corresponding to the Earth Element.
The other three rows did not produce the results they expected.
"It's lucky to have such a discovery today." Seeing Tang Lingwu who was a little disappointed, Zheng Fa comforted her: "These things are not urgent, just continue tomorrow night."
He always looked at it with an open mind.
Doing research requires patience.
What's more, cultivating immortality can take hundreds or even thousands of years if you're not careful.
There's really no rush.
Tang Lingwu nodded slowly. She looked at her cell phone, greeted the two of them, and walked downstairs.
Zheng Fa's hearing is now far superior to that of ordinary people. He can clearly hear the gradually fainting footsteps of Tang Lingwu as she goes down the stairs, and the sound of the engine starting when she gets into the car.
What he heard more clearly was her mother's loud scolding when Tang Lingwu came downstairs.
There was silence between Tang Lingwu and him.
…
The next day, classroom.
After the physics class, Zheng Fa put away the test papers handed out by the teacher and took out a workbook to look at.
Look, not do.
He now has the confidence to tackle questions at this stage of high school without having to write anything - for most of the questions, after reading them, he roughly knows what the test setter wants to test, what method can be used to solve the problem, and then he looks at the answer.
If there are no problems, then you have passed this question.
Zheng Fa felt that he had less and less time every day.
The time available for learning high school knowledge is actually very limited - it's the time in class plus the time during breaks.
So he now chooses this relatively less time-consuming method.
But this does not mean that he gave up the college entrance examination. On the contrary, his goal is higher than before.
He had previously told Lao Chen that he wanted to apply to Jiangnan University.
Now he wants to apply to Capital University.
To establish a laboratory for cultivating immortals, one must go to a place where there are more top talents - in modern society, most people only have a few opportunities to come into contact with top talents in various disciplines.
Going to a good college is probably the easiest thing to do.
Most people don’t even realize that a teacher you met in college may be the pinnacle of your network.
"Zheng Fa?"
Wang Chen called him softly from behind.
"Hmm?" Zheng Fa turned his head slightly and looked at Wang Chen.
"...You got full marks on that test paper just now, right?"
Wang Chen looked at Zheng Fa.
"Yeah." Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
He does have some talent in physics, at least in high school physics.
Nowadays, I always top the class in most physics exams.
"Then why don't you take a break during class?" Wang Chen pouted, pointed at the countdown sign at the door, and complained: "I don't even see you anxious when I look at that thing now!"
Zheng Fa: “…”
Tang Lingwu suddenly walked over from the front row, holding a thick notebook in her hand.
"Um?"
"I looked at it during class and seemed to have discovered the common structure of the gold symbol diagram."
Tang Lingwu placed the notebook in front of Zheng Fa, opened it, and spoke softly.
Zheng Fa thought of this person's privilege of not attending class, and suddenly felt a little envious.
He flipped through the notebook that Tang Lingwu handed to him, which was filled with densely drawn talismans.
Each symbol on the book is neatly arranged in a row.
Looks very OCD-friendly.
Tang Lingwu drew a small circle on each talisman, and there was indeed the same structure inside.
He looked at the dark blue in Tang Lingwu's eyes, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "When did you go to bed yesterday?"
He suspected that the girl stayed up late last night doing this.
Tang Lingwu didn't answer either. She waved at him, shook her ponytail, and staggered to her seat - then she lay down on the desk and took a nap.
"What's this?"
Wang Chen quietly walked to Zheng Fa's side at some point and pointed at the talisman in the notebook with some curiosity.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
“…It’s hard for me to explain to you.”
Zheng Fa thought about it and said to Wang Chen.
"..." Wang Chen touched his chin, looked at Zheng Fa, then looked at Tang Lingwu, a hint of enlightenment appeared on his face: "It has to be you two!"
"?"
Wang Chen patted Zheng Fa's shoulder and said with some envy: "A top student is a top student. He is so good at dating!"
Zheng Fa looked at Wang Chen, who was beaming with joy, and felt that he had imagined something extraordinary: "What on earth are you talking about?"
"I've seen a lot of spy wars! Is that a code book?" Wang Chen pointed at the notebook in Zheng Fa's hand and said, "Are you two using encrypted communications now?"
"...you think too much." Zheng Fa looked at Wang Chen, not knowing what was going on in this man's brain.
At this time, a head with a built-in flash effect popped out from behind Wang Chen.
Wang Chen's face turned pale, and he saw Lao Chen first looked at him, and then his eyes fell on the notebook.
"show me."
Old Chen stretched out his hand towards Zheng Fa.
He looked at the densely packed and neatly arranged runes, touched his chin, lowered his head to look at Zheng Fa, then looked at Tang Lingwu, and a flash of enlightenment flashed across his face...
Zheng Fa always felt that he had just seen this expression.
Old Chen didn't say anything to Zheng Fa, but put the notebook in front of Zheng Fa and looked at him meaningfully.
Watching Lao Chen leaving, Wang Chen patted Zheng Fa on the shoulder and asked, "Do you think Lao Chen is overthinking?"
“…”
The old white man’s house.
When he heard that Tang Lingwu had discovered a structure related to gold, Old Man Bai couldn't help but look at the girl in surprise.
"It looks about right."
After verifying the gold talismans classified by Senior Sister Zhang one by one, Old Man Bai nodded.
Zheng Fa glanced at Tang Lingwu.
The girl still looked very tired, but a smile of relief appeared on her face.
The old man seemed to have noticed her expression as well. He turned his head and looked at Zheng Fa deeply.
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
Han Xiaobai on the other side of the computer also modified the algorithm.
Once you know what to look for, some things become much easier.
An hour later, the five structures symbolizing gold, wood, water, fire and earth appeared on the screen.
Several people tried again to find the structure of Yin and Yang, only to find that Yin and Yang seemed to be different from the Five Elements - at least this way of thinking could not find it.
Zheng Fa randomly dragged the five patterns in the software, causing them to change their positions and directions, as if he was piecing together something.
"What are you doing?"
Zheng Fa didn't say anything, but looked at the screen and operated slowly.
“Got it!”
On the computer screen, these five structures suddenly formed a whole.
Earth connects to metal, metal connects to water, water connects to wood, wood connects to fire, and fire connects to earth.
"Um?"
The old man was stunned and looked at the computer screen.
"You thought before that this was a whole?"
"No, I got the inspiration from the symbol in my body."
Today he specifically observed the Upright Shadowless Talisman and the Frost Blade Talisman condensed in his dantian. The two had been next to each other since they began to condense.
Only today did he discover that the two adjacent parts were the two structures symbolizing "earth" and "water", and they were combined into a new pattern.
This gave him a guess as to whether these five structures could be combined with each other.
"Are these five things actually one?" the old man said with a frown.
Zheng Fa nodded, opened the notebook in front of him, and wrote a very simple sentence: The five elements attributes of a talisman are determined by a certain special structure, which can be called a five-element sub-talisman. The five-element sub-talismans can be combined into a whole individually.
The old man was stunned when he saw the words, then he laughed: "You want to write a law."
He seemed to see through Zheng Fa's hidden ambition.
Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "It still needs to be verified, but when it is truly proven, I would like to give it this name."
He wrote eight words above this line.
"The first law of Bai's talisman path."
"Ah?" The old man pointed at himself and said, "Name it after me?"
"The greatest contribution here goes to you," Zheng Fa said with a smile.
"Ahem, this is the collective wisdom of the three of us, collective wisdom."
"Then should I change my name?" Zheng Fa pretended to change it.
"Forget it, this name is pretty nice!" The old man hurriedly stopped Zheng Fa, looked at the words and smiled foolishly for a long time, and suddenly felt a little emotional: "I have been doing mathematics for a lifetime but have not left any reputation. If there is such a law, I am afraid I will die without regrets."
It sounds like he doesn't take this stuff seriously.
