Chapter 165 Departure

"Yin Yang Symbol?"

Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu looked at each other and saw confusion on each other's faces.

No, your Great Dream Talisman should have lost its effect by then, right?

Seeing their expressions, the old man curled his lips, sat on the chair, stretched his legs outward, and the whole chair fell backward, with only two legs supporting the ground. He leaned in the chair and swayed, with his chin facing the sky -

He said nothing, but it seemed as if he had said all the arrogant words.

"In the future, you must remember the scriptures of our sect clearly. This master realized the truth in his dream and understood the origin of yin and yang."

“…Grandpa Bai!”

Seeing that he seemed to be trying to keep people in suspense, Tang Lingwu said in a low voice.

The old man glanced at her and waved to the two of them.

"Want to know?"

"Um!"

"Give me your hand."

Tang Lingwu looked a little confused and obediently extended her right hand.

The old man looked at Zheng Fa again and said, "Yours."

Zheng Fa was also a little confused and stretched out his right hand.

"Switch to your left hand."

The old man put Zheng Fa's left hand and Tang Lingwu's right hand together, palm to palm, fingers to fingers, without a single gap.

Tang Lingwu's face suddenly turned red, and her earlobes seemed to be a little hot.

But Zheng Fa seemed to be a little bit enlightened.

“This is yin and yang.”

The old white man spoke in the same tone as when he was speaking at the podium in his dream.

"...Chirality?"

"right!"

The old man let go of their hands, looked at Zheng Fa and said, "The most obvious difference between the Yin-Yang symbols is the handedness."

Zheng Fa thought about the Yin-Yang symbol in his mind.

It seems to be true! The old man was still muttering: "Although I know this thing, I didn't study it before... If I hadn't seen my own hands in my dream holding those talismans, I wouldn't have thought of this."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

Chirality is not a particularly important concept in topology - or rather, Zheng Fa has not seen it very often, only in knot theory.

"Is the Yin-Yang Talisman that simple?"

It was Tang Lingwu who was standing by who asked about her doubts.

Zheng Fa also understood why she said it was simple - chirality is a very intuitive concept.

Simply put, your left and right hands seem to have no difference, but in three-dimensional space, no matter how you translate or rotate your left hand, it cannot become your right hand.

This spatial configuration of similar properties is chirality.

Logically, chirality can be divided into left-handedness and right-handedness.

Zheng Fa recalled that it seemed that the Yang Fu diagram corresponded to the left hand, and the Yin Fu diagram corresponded to the right hand.

"It's not simple." Zheng Fa shook his head and said, "This is just the spatial relationship of the symbol..."

The old man smiled and nodded gently, saying, "Yes, this is appearance. Chirality is not studied much in mathematics. As far as I know, the most research in this area is done in biology and chemistry."

"Chiral molecules will exhibit different properties."

"I don't know if they have explained this, but what I do know is... we don't know why the Yin-Yang symbol has different effects and properties depending on the chirality."

Zheng Fa agreed: "And there is another problem..."

He and the old man looked at each other and said in unison: "Yin and Yang are interdependent."

At this point, the old man grinned, as if he had a headache: "You know, chiral objects cannot overlap in three-dimensional space, so you can say they are two completely different things, but yin and yang are interdependent... This shows that they are related..."

…

Mysterious world.

Zheng Fa sat on the couch, his spiritual consciousness looking at the Yuan Fu Dao base in his body.

This Yuan Fu Dao base is still in the shape of two lotus flowers connected at the bottom.

Chiral configuration.

Yin and Yang complement each other.

Zheng Fa's mind moved, and the lotus pedestal with its pistil facing downwards gently shattered and disappeared.

But the next moment, golden threads slowly grew from the bottom of the remaining lotus pedestal, and later, the lotus pedestal began to appear again.

This is what Senior Sister Zhang said about the mutual generation of yin and yang.

However, Zheng Fa widened his eyes and looked at the lotus platform that reappeared.

Before, he thought that the golden threads were the roots of the lotus platform.

But this time he saw clearly that the golden threads were actually in the shape of tiny arcs - more like water waves rippling from the bottom of the lotus platform! "Mirror image?"

An idea suddenly came to Zheng Fa's mind.

The reflection of your right hand in the mirror is actually your left hand.

So the mirror image of the Yang Talisman is the Yin Talisman.

The essence of the mutual generation of yin and yang - are they actually mirror images of each other?

In other words, the lotus platform below is actually the reflection of the lotus platform above?

…

Zheng Fa is not yet able to verify this hypothesis - since Senior Sister Zhang is not here, he really doesn't have many ways to verify it.

Thinking of Senior Sister Zhang, he picked up the Black Thunder Stone again and began to practice the "Five Thunder Body".

The bones in his body are now covered with a thin layer of light golden film, which is a sign that he has mastered the bone-strengthening technique of the Five Thunder Body Technique.

Now, he is practicing the fourth level of "Five Thunder Body" - blood transfusion.

This is the last level before the Heavenly Thunder Body Refining.

It was also his final preparation before entering the forbidden area.

In the black thunder stone, lightning flowed like water, slowly entering his body, seeping into his skin, penetrating into his muscles, and finally drilling into his bones, stirring up a turmoil in his marrow.

Severe pain!

Zheng Fa suffered a lot when he was a child.

I had a fight with the boys in the field.

I have been cut by sickles and hoes.

There are even near-death experiences—

But I have never experienced such severe pain before! Maybe it is because there are many nerves in the bone marrow, so the pain is very obvious.

He hunched over on the couch, his forehead covered with beads of sweat as he trembled.

This feeling was not the first time he had tried it, and every time before, he felt that he had gotten used to it.

But every time he felt a sense of despair as if he was on the edge of an abyss.

In his hand, he held the half jade pendant so tightly that it seemed about to break into pieces.

…

When he was still two or three feet away from Uncle Pang’s main hall, the loud shouting coming from inside entered Zheng Fa’s ears.

"Master! Don't rush!"

"Save me, save me!" This is Uncle Pang's voice: "Who can give me a hemostatic talisman?"

"Master, surrender! We are all around you!"

“…”

Zheng Fa shook his head.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is Uncle Pang and his disciples playing together again.

He also didn't expect that the most internet-addicted teenager in Jiushan Sect, um, old man, was actually Uncle Pang.

As far as Zheng Fa knew, when Uncle Pang came to Lei Chi this time, he also went to the head of the sect to get a lot of talismans from "The Great Way to Immortality".

But Uncle Pang doesn’t bully others when playing games.

He has always sealed his consciousness and spiritual power, and used his Qi Refining stage cultivation to play with his disciples.

Don't curse even if you lose.

He has a good temper.

But there is also a problem - too reckless.

Zheng Fa now strongly suspected that his master's script "Saving Young Cultivator Pang Qian" was based on a real prototype.

Think about what Uncle Pang is teaching me now——

Zheng Fa always felt that Uncle Pang was looking for the boy he once was in the game...

Putting aside all these random thoughts, Zheng Fa gently knocked on the palace door.

"Enter!"

As soon as Zheng Fa entered the room, Uncle Pang waved his hand, and the illusion of "The Great Way to Immortality" in the hall immediately dissipated.

Several senior brothers looked at each other and seemed to be pouting.

This is... you can't afford to flip the table?

"Ahem." Seeing Zheng Fa's enlightened look, Uncle Pang coughed and said, "What do you want from me?"

"My nephew wants to ask my uncle for some information about the Thunder Pond."

"Are you going to enter the Thunder Pool? Have you reached the fourth level of the Five Thunder Body?"

Uncle Pang was stunned, then slowly sat up with a serious look.

"yes!"

"..." Uncle Pang looked at him for a long time and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

"Uncle Master?"

"Your master told me before he came." Uncle Pang suddenly talked about something else: "He said that if you want to cultivate to the fourth level of the Five Thunder Body, the biggest problem is not resources... but patience."

“…”

"He said that after each blood transfusion, he would wait ten days to half a month before performing the second blood transfusion."

Following Uncle Pang's words, all the brothers in the hall looked at Zheng Fa.

Different looks.

"He told me that it was too painful, too bitter, and every time it was like he was being tortured from the inside out." Uncle Pang shook his head and said, "So, he had no shortage of black thunder stones back then, but it took him a full six months to practice the fourth level of the Five Thunder Body Transfusion..."

"And you... completed it in just half a month. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zheng Fa lowered his head and said, "Although Senior Sister Zhang is safe now, she has been missing for a long time. As you can imagine, her situation is not very good."

Uncle Pang was silent again.

"...Junior Brother Zhang, you didn't make a mistake." Uncle Pang shook his head and waved his hand. Several jade tubes flew in front of Zheng Fa: "This is the news about the Thunder Pond in the market, as well as some experiences of my Nine Mountain Sect disciples. Take it."

Zheng Fa put away a few jade tubes, bowed to Uncle Pang, turned around and left the hall.

Looking at his slowly walking away back, Uncle Pang looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Master, do you still want to play?"

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, a disciple beside him asked in a low voice.

"Play, play, play! You only know how to play!" Unexpectedly, Uncle Pang exploded: "Look at Zheng Fa, he is practicing so hard, why do you only know how to play?"

“…”

"I can endure the heart-wrenching pain and practice desperately for my nephew Zhang. What about you? If my master disappears, can you do the same?"

"...disciples must go through fire and water..."

This group of disciples said one after another.

"Get lost! Don't I know you?"

Uncle Pang snorted, clapped his hands forward, and the disciples fell out of the hall one after another.

When he looked up again, the palace doors were closed tightly.

The disciples looked at each other, not daring to speak, and left together.

After walking a long way, a disciple finally expressed his doubts:

"Playing 'The Great Dao Contests Immortality'... isn't this the game set up by our master? We have no choice but to play it!"

"Master is jealous of Senior Sister Zhang."

What one disciple said made several people nod their heads repeatedly.

"Yeah, we can't beat Junior Brother Zheng." A disciple said a little frustrated.

"We can't beat Zheng Fa, but isn't our master also inferior to Senior Sister Zhang?"

"ah?"

This made others a little skeptical.

No matter how powerful Senior Sister Zhang is, their master is a Yuanying Zhenren.

"Just think about it, if Senior Sister Zhang had the face of our master, would Zheng Fa be so anxious to save her?"

“…”

"Can you?"

"...Even though she is our master, Senior Sister Zhang didn't have a good relationship with us before..." A senior brother said, "But you shouldn't blaspheme Senior Sister Zhang like this."
