Chapter 178 Suspicion
Zheng Fa slowly walked to where Senior Sister Zhang was trapped.
When he walked three meters away, Senior Sister Zhang just opened her eyes.
The two of them didn't say a word, as if they were making a silent appointment.
Zheng Fa opened the book "Topology" in his hand and continued where he had left off yesterday.
Sometimes, Senior Sister Zhang would interrupt him and ask questions that he didn't understand.
Some of the questions were difficult to understand because her knowledge was not complete, so Zheng Fa answered them easily.
There were some questions that Zheng Fa himself hadn't figured out, and at these times, Zheng Fa would be stumped by her questions.
He frowned and began to think.
Senior Sister Zhang didn't urge him either. She just watched him quietly with an inexplicable smile on her lips.
Sometimes Zheng Fa really couldn't answer her questions, and there was a hint of pride in her smile.
…
Both of them are monks, and their thinking speed has long surpassed that of ordinary people.
It took her only ten days to finish reading a book called "Topology" - although it was just a superficial review, at least Sister Zhang now had a framework.
"Senior Sister Zhang, is this knowledge helpful to you?"
Zheng Fa asked expectantly.
"Yes, I have."
"real?"
Zheng Faxi said happily.
"Senior Sister Zhang, have you realized something?"
"No."
"…That doesn't help much?" Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Because of this book, you come here every day at this time." Senior Sister Zhang pointed to the "Topology" in Zheng Fa's hand and said, "I feel much better at this time every day."
“…”
Well, that helps.
But it was not the help Zheng Fa wanted.
Seeing that he looked a little disappointed, Senior Sister Zhang smiled and said, "The knowledge you taught me is profound and extensive. I am just beginning to learn it. I am still not able to combine it with the talisman diagram."
Zheng Fa let out a breath slowly.
He was a little impatient.
If one could fully understand the graph by studying topology, the old man would have been able to do it long ago.
Compared to Old Man Bai, Senior Sister Zhang has accumulated more knowledge in the art of talismans, but much less in mathematics.
It is hard to say who is superior or inferior between the two.
"Don't be disappointed. Your knowledge has great potential. At least it has given me a way to re-examine the talisman diagram." Senior Sister Zhang comforted her, "As I said, I still have nine hundred years, which is enough for me to gain some understanding."
Zheng Fa nodded.
That's true.
…
Zheng Fa walked slowly into the Five Dragons Palace with a frown on his face.
Passing "Topology" to Senior Sister Zhang was his last resort.
To be honest, it's a bit like trying everything possible.
But now it seems that we cannot say that it is useless, we can only say that it may not be of any help to Senior Sister Zhang in the short term.
He believed in Senior Sister Zhang's talent in mathematics, and nine hundred years was enough for her to master this knowledge and even promote it.
but……
The birth of the Heavenly Monument always made him feel uneasy.
On the other hand, Senior Sister Zhang’s reminder made Zheng Fa a little alert: if he doesn’t understand the Yin-Yang Talisman, his Yuan Fu Taoism foundation will be incomplete.
According to Senior Sister Zhang, even if she condensed her Nascent Soul, she would still have to pay a price for this.
Therefore, Zheng Fa also had an urgent need to perfect the "Fu Dao Foundation Building Method" before building his own foundation.
This matter is very important to him and Senior Sister Zhang.
"Zheng Fa, come here for a moment."
As soon as he entered the Five Dragons Palace, he heard the voice of Uncle Pang ringing in his ears. Zheng Fa was stunned and walked towards the hall where Uncle Pang was.
"Did you go to Junior-nephew Zhang's place again today?" Uncle Pang asked as soon as he saw Zheng Fa.
"yes."
Uncle Pang looked at Zheng Fa, with an expression that seemed as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
"Uncle Pang?"
"Zheng Fa, please sit down first." Uncle Pang was silent for a while, and said with some advice in his tone: "Nephew Zhang is in a situation now, so you should focus on yourself."
"Uncle Pang?"
"You and Junior Brother Zhang may not be called Taoist companions now, but you are better than them." Junior Uncle Pang suddenly said, "Although we cultivators talk about wealth, companionship, Dharma and land, you must understand that your own life is the most important."
"yes."
Zheng Fa didn't understand why Uncle Pang suddenly said this, but he still responded in a low voice.
"...The two most outstanding juniors in my Jiushan Sect are Junior Brother Zhang and you." Junior Uncle Pang seemed to see that he didn't understand and said directly: "Junior Brother Zhang is in trouble now, and I don't want you to be affected by it again."
Zheng Fa was stunned.
These words... actually seem like you're abandoning Senior Sister Zhang.
"Of course I will save Junior-nephew Zhang." Senior-uncle Pang said softly, "But if it affects your path, I won't agree."
“…”
Zheng Fa didn't know what to say.
"Do you know who was the most famous Taoist couple in my Jiushan Sect in the previous generation?"
“I don’t know.”
"Your Uncle Huang and her husband."
"husband?"
Zheng Fa was stunned. Uncle Huang now sat on the seventh peak of the Nine Mountains and almost never came down the mountain. She had never heard that she had a husband.
"Her husband is what I consider to be the most talented disciple of the previous generation of the Jiushan Sect." Uncle Pang sighed and said, "He is also my best friend."
"Your Uncle Huang's temper used to be ten times hotter than that of Brother Zhang, and he acted impulsively. Later, he encountered an accident, and my friend, as her husband, of course, sacrificed himself to save her."
“…”
"Of course you guessed what happened next. Your Uncle Huang was rescued, but he died." Zheng Fa suddenly saw some anger on Uncle Pang's face: "If not for this, my Jiushan Sect might have had another God Transformation!"
Zheng Fa finally understood why Uncle Pang was quite nice to Sister Zhang, but always addressed Uncle Huang as "Huang".
"Later, the man surnamed Huang came back and said he wanted revenge, and he made a Xuanguanjian..." Uncle Pang sighed, "Now nephew Zhang is trapped in the Xuanguanjian again. Is that the Xuanguanjian? That's a lesson from the past..."
"Besides, you haven't established your foundation yet, so how can you help Junior Brother Zhang?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zheng Fa knew in his heart that Uncle Pang's advice was not without reason.
He has actually done everything he could do.
The rest depends on Senior Sister Zhang herself.
…
Inside Zheng Fa's room, he was immersed in cultivation.
Although he gave lectures to Senior Sister Zhang every day, he did not delay his own cultivation.
On the contrary, I am more diligent than before.
Senior Sister Zhang's Xuanguanjian can only be broken from the inside now, but because it is in the thunder pool, if the thunder pool changes, the Yuanying of the Great Freedom Demon Sect will be able to take action -
At that time, there will definitely be a war between Jiushan Sect and Dazizai Demon Sect.
His current cultivation level is not enough.
As the night deepened, a vortex of spiritual energy suddenly appeared in the room where Zheng Fa was.
This spiritual energy vortex was larger than before, and it even affected many disciples who were practicing in the Five Dragons Palace.
Uncle Pang and several of his disciples in the main hall all felt something.
They all looked towards Zheng Fa's room.
"Is that Junior Brother Zheng?" A disciple exclaimed in surprise, "He has completed his Qi training? How long has it been?"
Another older disciple standing nearby was also surprised: "I've never seen anyone like Junior Brother Zheng who gets faster and faster the more he practices... He really has an amazing talent."
"Amazing talent..." Uncle Pang's eyes looked distant, as if he was thinking of someone: "Only in this way, they are more alike."
"Master?"
…
"Have you completed your Qi training?" When she came to where Senior Sister Zhang was, she saw Zheng Fa's realm at a glance, and her eyes were also somewhat happy: "This speed is half a month faster than mine."
Zheng Fa shook his head.
If we take modern time into account, Senior Sister Zhang is still faster.
"You must think carefully about the foundation-building matter." Senior Sister Zhang warned, "If you feel that the 'Talisman Foundation-Building Method' is not perfect, you can go buy a Yuanhua Pill to dissolve the rune foundation in your body. Although your cultivation will be reduced a little, the spiritual power in your body is enough - it will be fast to take the orthodox foundation-building path again."
It can be seen that Senior Sister Zhang has thought about him.
According to Senior Sister Zhang's idea, this method of building the foundation through talismans is just a cultivation accelerator, and it can be thrown away directly after use.
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, this is indeed a solution.
Although he had already finished explaining "Topology" to Senior Sister Zhang, Zheng Fa's visit to Senior Sister Zhang was not without gain. On the contrary, Senior Sister Zhang could give him a lot of inspiration both in the art of talismans and in mathematics.
"I have been thinking about it carefully these past two days, and I feel that the knowledge you taught me is extremely rigorous. It is actually derived from a few so-called axioms. Except for a few axioms that cannot be proved, the rest of the theories actually have their origins."
Zheng Fa agreed with what he said, and this is also a feature of modern mathematics.
"This idea actually came from a great sage who was the first person to propose several axioms."
Zheng Fa began to explain to his senior sister the five axioms in Euclidean geometry, and then talked about how doubts about the parallel line axiom eventually led to the emergence of non-Euclidean geometry.
"Can justice be doubted?" Senior Sister Zhang's eyes flashed with admiration: "This is really quite wise."
"Of course we have to doubt. Doubt is even the biggest reason for the progress of this discipline." Zheng Fa's words conveyed his own understanding of science: "Doubt..."
He paused.
Suspect……
He had always accepted Senior Sister Zhang's point of view without any doubt: what is condensed in the Yuan Fu Dao Foundation is the talisman diagram.
Is this the questionable parallel lines axiom?
In the talisman foundation-building method, the Yin-Yang talismans will give birth to each other.
But in the void of the Xuanwei Realm, those talismans did not show this property.
This is almost equivalent to the experimental results not being consistent with the theory.
Are these two symbols really the same?
"It's not a talisman? But what we condensed is a talisman."
"Yes, but if we put aside this premise," Zheng Fa's eyes gleamed with excitement, "What can we infer from the premise that the mutual generation of yin and yang is due to mirroring?"
Senior Sister Zhang frowned, still confused.
"Only the Five Elements sub-symbol can satisfy the properties of the mirror image." Zheng Fa said loudly: "The other two sub-symbols, although they affect the properties of the talisman, have nothing to do with the essence of the talisman!"
Senior Sister Zhang’s eyes lit up.
She understood what Zheng Fa meant.
"You mean, the Five Elements Talisman is the essence of the Spirit Talisman?"
"No, what I mean is that the five elements are the inherent properties of spiritual energy." Zheng Fa expressed his conjecture: "When we practice, no matter what method we use, we will eventually absorb spiritual energy - and there is a difference between spiritual energy and spiritual talismans."
"Spiritual energy also has five elements, but it doesn't have those two types of sub-symbols!"
"The Dao foundation condensed in our bodies may be more inclined towards spiritual energy rather than spiritual talismans!"
"See through the falsehood, discard the false and retain the true, then you can achieve the great way..." After a long silence, Senior Sister Zhang sighed and said, "You did it today."
