Chapter 144 Farewell (can't finish it in time, only 3K, will continue to make up tomorrow)

"Professor Bai, your Three-Character Law is amazing!"

Two days later, when Zheng Fa went to Old Man Bai's house again, he couldn't help but praise Bai Yuanying.

This old man did a big thing behind my back.

"A little bit of gain, a little bit of gain!"

The old man waved his hands, his tone seemed humble, but his face was full of arrogance.

Zheng Fa looked at the rather arrogant old white man and suddenly took out the notebook from his backpack.

"Professor Bai, there are some questions about the Law of the Three Symbols that I didn't understand in my notes - can I ask you, the creator, for some advice?"

Zheng Fa asked sincerely.

"You say!" The old white man tilted his mouth and leaned back in the chair, showing his domineering attitude.

"Among the three sub-symbols, except for the five-element sub-symbols, how many are there in each of the other two types?"

"..." The old man grinned and was silent for a long time before saying, "...I'm not sure. I need more talismans to study."

"Are these sub-talismans limited?"

“…I’m not sure.”

"What are the functions of the other two types of sub-talismans?"

"……uncertain."

Zheng Fa slowly put down the notebook in his hand and stared at the old man with deep eyes.

The old man sat up slowly, and the pride on his face slowly turned into embarrassment.

"This... is all the result of the algorithm." The old man spoke in a low voice, as if he was defending himself aggrievedly: "It has been such a short time, and I haven't come into contact with real spiritual energy talismans. What can I see?"

Zheng Fa flipped through the notebook and found that the tone used by the old man in the notebook was mostly speculation.

The old man hesitated for a while, and suddenly spoke again: "Actually, Ling Wu had a guess before, and I think it's interesting."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu. Tang Lingwu's face turned red, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She whispered, "I was just imagining it."

"What's your guess? Tell me about it?"

Zheng Fa was quite curious about what kind of idea could make the old man find it interesting.

"Ling Wu studied computer science, so she thought that after all, the spiritual talisman is the process of communication between people and the universe, which is similar to the interaction between computer hardware."

Zheng Fa was a little dazed, and he seemed to understand what Tang Lingwu's guess was.

"Code?"

Zheng Fa couldn't help but recall what Senior Sister Zhang had said when they were discussing the nature of runes - she believed that runes were the flow trajectory of spiritual energy, but some people called runes Tao characters.

"Yes!" The old man clapped his hands and said, "Ling Wu, what did you say?"

Looking at Zheng Fa with some curiosity.

"I've been wondering what makes the talisman work?" Tang Lingwu was no longer shy. She explained to Zheng Fa, "According to your description, in my opinion, the essence of the talisman is to use the soul or spiritual power to control everything in the world."

"I was thinking, can Yuanfu be considered a function?"

"The three types of sub-symbols are actually three different statements with different functions. For example, the five-element sub-symbol can be regarded as a call statement - telling the heaven and earth what kind of spiritual energy I need."

"The other two sub-symbols may have other functions. For example, one is responsible for logical calculations, and the other is an output interface for interacting with the universe..."

Tang Lingwu's voice became smaller and smaller, and she seemed to be less confident. Finally, she added, "I was just imagining it."

Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai both laughed.

"It's quite interesting. If it works, this will be the second law of Tang's Talismans!" said the old man with a smile.

Zheng Fa also nodded and looked at Tang Lingwu with some encouragement - this idea was of course immature, and still needed a lot of improvement and verification.

But it's not impossible.

Moreover, Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai both knew that Tang Lingwu had never been very confident.

This lack of confidence made Tang Lingwu work very hard.

In fact, both Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai felt that this girl had really helped a lot.

But Tang Lingwu seemed to be unaware of the power of money.

Looking at the smiling eyes of Zheng Fa and old man Bai, Tang Lingwu lowered her eyes, but her expression was excited and lively.

Of course, Tang's second law of talisman still only exists in the realm of conjecture.

However, the First Law of Bai's Talismans has now been modified into the Three-Substance Talisman Law (incomplete version) - to be honest, this thing is a bit of a pleasant surprise, but on the other hand, it has brought more mysteries.

But after being comforted by old man Bai, Zheng Fa was no longer anxious.

At least they are gradually uncovering the essence of talismans.

"By the way, Professor Bai, how is the dying person you said you were going to see in the capital?"

At that time, Old Man Bai acted alone - after all, Zheng Fa didn't know the man, and a seriously ill person might not want to be disturbed, so it was not convenient for them to visit him rashly.

“No.” The old man’s tone was a little strange: “I even missed the funeral she held for herself.”

"...You held your own funeral?"

Zheng Fa felt like he couldn't understand Chinese characters.

"Yes, that guy said that he held a funeral for himself while he was still alive. I heard that he cried so miserably at the scene..."

“…”

"And now?"

The old man took out his mobile phone, opened the follow-up list in the short video software, and selected one of the video bloggers.

“Yes.”

Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu leaned over and saw on the screen an old lady wearing a military green jacket, sunglasses, with flying hair and a wild smile, riding a black motorcycle, rumbling across the wilderness.

"This is……"

"Traveling around the world."

Zheng Fa then understood why the old man said he had not seen this person.

"Professor Bai, what is this person doing?"

Tang Lingwu looked at the old lady in the camera with bright eyes, seeming a little envious - this might be how the girl imagined herself to be.

"Didn't Zheng Fa say before that he needed an agricultural expert?" The old man explained, "This guy has been doing agricultural research all his life. He's never married, and he doesn't have any children. He just takes care of the land."

"...This temperament, doesn't it look like that?"

Zheng Fa looked at the screen again, feeling somewhat skeptical.

"People say that you have been unfashionable all your life, and now that you are about to die, you have to be more fashionable." The white old man sighed, "I am so rebellious."

“…”

"Professor Bai, what is your relationship with her?"

Thinking about the ages of the two and looking at the heroic appearance of the old lady in the camera, Zheng Fa couldn't help but have some ambiguous associations.

"Before, I was in Beijing and joined a blind date group for the highly educated elderly." The old man was still a little embarrassed: "I met her."

"like?"

“…A little bit.”

"Did they refuse?" Zheng Fa asked again.

"..." The old man sighed and said, "She's not here for a blind date! She said she doesn't want to get married, and her mother forced her to come - saying that there's no one to take care of her when she gets old and dies."

"How old was she then?"

"Fifty-eight."

Zheng Fa remained silent. He was still being urged to get married at the age of 58. No wonder he became rebellious in his old age.

"She was saying, now it's good that she died early, her mother doesn't have to worry about her anymore." The old white man sighed, as if he still had some lingering feelings for the old lady.

"You two are..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"If we can't be partners, can we still be friends? I've been trying to contact her these past two days, but she's on the road and she's slow to reply." The old man opened the chat list on the app again: "Huh? Did she reply?"

He looked at the message, raised his head and said to Zheng Fa, "She will come to the provincial capital next month."

He didn't say the rest, but Zheng Fa understood the pleading in his eyes.

He looked at the notebook in his hand and said, "If I can help, I'll try."

…

Xuanwei Realm, today is the day that Senior Sister Zhang is leaving the sect.

She didn't go alone.

This time when she goes to Taiyang County, she will bring a group of her disciples with her.

If Senior Sister Zhang goes alone, then she can go as fast as she can.

But for the sake of safety, she chose the sect's flying shuttle to take these disciples with her - this is also a kind of boat commonly used by cultivators, shuttle-shaped, and five or six times faster than the shuttle boat, but it can carry much fewer people.

A group of people stood on the dock, with Senior Sister Zhang standing at the front of the crowd.

The time for departure has passed.

But Senior Sister Zhang did not move. She just frowned slightly, as if she was waiting for something.

Some disciples felt a little strange, but they didn't dare to speak. They just looked at their companions and asked:

"Who is Senior Sister Zhang waiting for?"

You know, Senior Sister Zhang is a person who is decisive and will do whatever she wants.

Who can, no, who dares to make her wait?

At this moment, she had been standing on the dock for a long time, and it seemed that she would rather wait a few more hours.

The disciple turned his eyes and pointed towards the distance.

Smoke and dust rose, and Zheng Fa's figure hurried over from afar.

He had a horse-armor charm on his leg, and he rushed to the dock as fast as a galloping horse. He was relieved when he saw Senior Sister Zhang and the others. "Senior Sister!"

He shouted to Senior Sister Zhang.

Behind Zheng Fa followed the Seventh Young Master and his sister. They were also acquaintances of Senior Sister Zhang. When they heard from Zheng Fa that Senior Sister Zhang was going to Taiyang County, they also came to see her off.

Senior Sister Zhang looked at him walking towards her in dishevel and couldn't help but smile.

The eyes of the disciples behind him met twice, and they all showed understanding.

"I'm late..."

Zheng Fa said this a little embarrassedly, and opened his mouth to explain something.

Senior Sister Zhang waved her hand and interrupted him directly: "I know you."

Zheng Fa was startled for a moment, then suddenly laughed and handed the book in his hand to Senior Sister Zhang.

"The Law of Three Symbols? For me?"

Senior Sister Zhang lowered her head, looked at the title of the book, then looked up at Zheng Fa.

"Well, although it is not perfect yet, it may be of some help to you, Senior Sister." Zheng Fa said, "It was because I copied this book that I almost missed the chance to see you off."

Behind them, the Seventh Young Master and his sister watched the two of them talking, but did not dare to step forward.

Senior Sister Zhang has an old relationship with the Zhao family, but it is ultimately a relationship of the previous generation - Senior Sister Zhang herself is not close to the Zhao family.

They both saw with their own eyes that Senior Sister Zhang's brows relaxed slightly, and the brilliance in her eyes made them almost feel as if this was not the Senior Sister Zhang they knew.

"Are you going to Taiyang County too?"

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly asked Zhao Jinglan.

"……yes!"

"You are living in Zheng Fa's house now?"

"……yes!"

"You can also get on board." Senior Sister Zhang nodded to Zhao Jinglan. Zhao Jinglan seemed not to understand and stood there in a daze for a long time before saying:

"Is this...convenient?"

"You and I are old friends, there's nothing inconvenient about it."

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at Zheng Fa and spoke righteously.

"……yes!"

Zhao Jinglan looked back at Zheng Fa with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Of course it would be better to follow Senior Sister Zhang. After all, there is a certain guarantee of safety, and you can also be covered with a tiger skin.

Watching the shuttle gradually go away, the Seventh Young Master stroked his chin and looked at Zheng Fa suspiciously: "Sister Zhang took my sister away just now. Is it really because of the relationship between our two families?"

"...Senior Sister Zhang is a kind-hearted person!" Zheng Fa said with a stern face.

"...I just saw it. When you handed her the book, she smiled happily!" The Seventh Young Master pouted and said, "What's in the book? Love poems?"

“…”

Zheng Fa realized that the Seventh Young Master thought the book was a love letter.

but……

The first author of that thing is an old white man, and he has a hard time chasing a rebellious old lady.

It doesn't seem to match.

The second author, um, is Tang Lingwu...

…

In the river beside the pier, a young man stood on a small boat. He was dressed in a scholar's gown and looked at the shuttle going away. He whispered to the two people beside him, "Zhang Wuyi is gone. Let's find out about Zheng Fa."
