Chapter 80 Not Picky
The Patriarch of Nine Mountains waved his hand lightly, and four dazzling golden lights shot out from the four runes on the top of the mountain, forming four beams of light that converged on Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa unconsciously crossed his legs on the ground, and with his eyes slightly closed, he seemed to see the mountains and rivers flowing, the sun and moon rising and setting, and the years passing by.
When he came back to his senses, the snow-white mountaintops and the Nine Mountain Patriarch were no longer in front of him.
Only four golden runes remained, supporting the sky above and connecting the earth, filling the world before their eyes.
With just one glance, Zheng Fa felt like he was going to faint...
He understood a little bit why even the Nine Mountain Patriarch had not been able to comprehend the talisman of the true shape of mountains and rivers - this thing was completely not on the same level as the talismans he had seen before, just in terms of complexity.
Whether it is the talismans in the Seventh Young Master’s study or the talismans drawn by Senior Sister Zhang, they are actually isolated figures.
But the true shape symbol of mountains and rivers in front of him could even be said to be a congress of talismans.
They are next to each other, hand in hand, heart to heart, connected to each other, and dancing together, as if they are participating in an extremely cheerful bonfire party.
When looking from a distance, Zheng Fa thought they were four runes.
But when he got closer, he found that it was actually a combination of countless runes. It was even difficult for him to determine which runes were combined to form the four runes in front of him - because most of the runes were not the runes corresponding to the basic element runes at all.
This is a bit like the joke Zheng Fa saw before -
I just learned one plus one, and you are taking calculus in the final exam?
This is beyond the scope!
The people in the Xuanwei Realm might feel even more helpless than he does.
There are two questions here: First, how can the originally isolated symbols be combined and even so harmonious that they look like they are originally one? What is the purpose of the combination of symbols? This is also something Zheng Fa cannot understand.
His knowledge of spells was not enough for him to figure out this problem.
But the other problem was easier for him - most of the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm had no way to deal with unfamiliar talismans.
Judging from Xuanweijie's current analysis of the Yuan Fu, they are more likely to draw the talisman first to see what the effect is.
Then group the symbols with the same effect into one category, and finally find the simplest shape among them as the basic symbol.
This method is basically equivalent to Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs - I don't know what this is, so I'll take a bite and see.
They haven't yet come up with a universal approach.
Before the development of topology, almost no one considered polyhedrons and spheres as the same thing. When there is no standard for classification, there is no classification to speak of.
Bai Yuanying, it's up to you! Zheng Fa looked at the thousands of runes above his head, trying to apply the rules in his notebook to these unprecedented runes.
…
There is also a wide square among the colorful clouds at the foot of the mountain, where people who have fallen from the plank road are gathered.
The Seventh Young Master is depressed.
He felt that he could have gone further, but his fear of heights still affected his performance.
While he was complaining to himself, a figure suddenly walked up to him and interrupted his worries.
The Seventh Young Master looked up and saw that it was Zhou Qianyuan. Zhou Qianyuan looked at him with a dark face, as if he was coming with bad intentions.
Obviously not here to make friends.
The Seventh Young Master did feel a little guilty. He felt that he had been too arrogant and it seemed that he had really affected the other party's assessment.
When he thought of the other party's talent of the first level purple, he became even more panicked.
"What's up?"
Adhering to the principle of losing the battle rather than the fight, the Seventh Young Master asked coldly.
"You said before that he taught you the art of talismans. Is that true?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qianyuan seemed to be more concerned about this.
"... a small part!" The Seventh Young Master straightened his chest: "Most of it is because of my extraordinary talent!"
Zhou Qianyuan looked at him suspiciously, as if wondering whether what he said was true.
Just as the two were looking at each other, a golden light suddenly came from the horizon, piercing the sky and the earth.
Everyone looked up and realized that the light came from the ninth peak.
In the golden light, a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground was extremely conspicuous.
The dazzlingly complex symbols in front of him were also exposed to everyone.
"Zheng Fa!"
The Seventh Young Master recognized the man sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Zhou Qianyuan looked at the symbols with a frown, as if trying to analyze them.
More people were curious about what the man sitting cross-legged was doing, and then they found out.
Some runes seemed to be attracted by Zheng Fa. They flew out from the four runes, landed beside him, danced around him, and illuminated his figure.
Slowly, these complex symbols gradually stretched, twisted, and deformed in the air, and finally turned into some shapes that looked extremely simple.
"Yuan Fu?"
Zhou Qianyuan muttered, his eyes fixed on the Yuan Fu flying around Zheng Fa, and he suddenly realized, "He is analyzing the Fu diagram! I have never seen these Yuan Fu before, and he actually has a way to analyze them?"
The Seventh Young Master came back to his senses, looked at him, and then looked at the others.
I noticed that they all looked at those Yuan Fu with a bit of confusion.
Probably never seen it.
"You said you learned from Zheng Fa, so what does he... require?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhou Qianyuan looked at the Seventh Young Master, pursed his lips, and suddenly asked.
"Require?"
The Seventh Young Master was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.
"Does he teach everyone? Or does he have to look at something else? Spiritual stones? Talent? Character?"
Zhou Qianyuan explained.
The Seventh Young Master began to understand that this person was trying to snatch the teacher from him!
He felt quite anxious.
No, a genius like you, why would you want to become a disciple when you are hit? How can we live like that? Wouldn't it be better for you to be a little more unruly?
"Ahem! His requirements are very high!" The Seventh Young Master coughed lightly and said, "For example, I gave him a lot of spirit stones in order to become his disciple, but these are just trivial matters!"
"The first thing he looks at is talent! Even someone as talented as me can barely get started!"
"But what he values most is character!" The Seventh Young Master threatened Zhou Qianyuan: "Being upright and kind is the basic requirement. After you get in, you have to serve tea and water, work like a cow or a horse, be humble and submissive, and endure all kinds of grievances. Only then can you show respect for your teacher. A genius like you can't stand this grievance!"
Zhou Qian looked at the Seventh Young Master from afar and nodded slowly, as if he understood.
"You accept them all, which means he is not very picky about his people." He suddenly said.
"……Um?"
…
On top of the Nine Mountains, Zheng Fa was a little depressed - it seemed that the old man was slightly inferior this time.
In fact, the number of Yuan Fu he could analyze was no more than 10%.
He could also understand that quick-success methods also had their limitations, not to mention that these were rules summarized based on those basic symbol diagrams.
Even in the opinion of Senior Sister Zhang, this method has already got to the essence of things.
But Zheng Fa knew in his heart that this was just a test-taking tactic - it was slightly better than choosing the shortest among three long and one short, but essentially it was also a gamble on probability.
Looking at the Yuan Fu flying around, Zheng Fa shook his head and prepared to get up.
“I actually made this old man wait!” The Nine Mountain Patriarch suddenly appeared and praised him, “What a rare talent in the art of talismans!”
"ah?"
"That old man has only analyzed as many Yuan Fu in his lifetime as you have now!"
“…”
Is Bai Yuanying so powerful?
Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at the four runes. The admiration and yearning he had for the Patriarch of Nine Mountains suddenly faded a lot.
"Let me think... With your talent, you can choose two things from what the old man left behind."
...Heaven and earth can witness my respect for my ancestors!
The Patriarch of Nine Mountains pointed at the four runes. As the runes flashed, two vermilion doors appeared on the mountainside.
