When I arrived outside the Taishi Mansion, I waited in the carriage for less than half a moment, and a witch boy from the Taishi Mansion came out of the mansion to welcome me in.

Shi Mo and Zhao Ying sat on the top of the lobby, with three red long cases placed side by side, and behind the case sat Yin Gao and another middle-aged man with a long beard, who was thought to be Luan Tao, who was proficient in calculus and soul dementorship.

Beru stood behind Zhao Ying with a worried face, and I threw him a comforting smile, but was caught by Zhao Ying. Obviously, this strict father has already seen me as a demon girl who seduces his Zhao family's son. If I lose today, I guess death is not far away.

I sat in the middle of the salute and waited for Tai Shimo's arrangement.

Shi Mo's complexion today is completely different from what I saw that day and night, he wears a snow-white silk robe with wide sleeves and large swings, and the lower end of the silk robe is embroidered with layers of auspicious clouds from the bottom to the top with purple thread, and the whole person looks elegant and serene, out of the world. When he saw me sitting still, he raised his finger slightly.

A white-clothed witch boy sang loudly: "In the first round, Luan Tao and the Qin people competed in the calculation method. ”

After singing, two more children in Tsing Yi came up with a lacquer plate and bamboo chips.

When he was young, the arithmetic chips used by the master were more than 200 elm branches of different lengths, and he polished each one with his own hands for fear of me pricking his hands, but the arithmetic chips sent by the Taishi Mansion were all warm, moist and white jade strips, and only one was enough for ordinary people to use for half a year. At this moment, there are more than 200 calculations on the table, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

"The problem of the calculus has been written on the bamboo piece, and the problem can be read only after the drum sounds. The fastest and correct answer wins. But do you understand? Shi Mo glanced at me and asked in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Luan Tao and I responded in unison, then looked at each other and waited calmly.

"Dong-" A drum sounded, I quickly turned over the bamboo slices, only to see two columns written on it, to the effect of: "From Taigu to Jinyang to transport grain, the empty car travels seventy-five miles a day, the heavy car travels fifty-two miles a day, and the ten days go back and forth three times, so how many miles is Taigu from Jinyang?" The army travels eighty miles a day, how long does it take to get to Taigu from Jinyang? ”

I was overjoyed when I read the words on the bamboo chips, and I had already played many such questions when I was ten years old. The master gave me a question, I gave the master a question, if anyone can stump the other party, he can get a leaf, and after collecting ten pieces, he can ask Si'er for a pot of sweet wine to drink. At that time, every few days, I would be seen sleeping in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, not because of academic fatigue, but because of drunkenness during the day.

I used my arithmetic chip to lay out a few large numbers on the table, and after just one glance, I wrote my answer on the bamboo piece and handed it to the child.

"You're done?" Shi Mo glanced at the hourglass in the center of the Ming Hall, which was more than one person high, and asked incredulously.

"Yes."

Luan Tao suddenly became nervous when he saw that I had presented the answer, and he used his calculation chip to make two lines of numbers and kept changing their positions with his hands. When a single number, one horizontal and four vertical is nine, and when changing to a double position, one vertical and four horizontal is nine, the more complex the calculation process, the more actions in the hand, and a little carelessness will make mistakes, and mistakes will have to be counted from the beginning.

Luan Tao continued to sweat from his forehead, and the speed of his hands slowed down.

"That's it!" At the last moment, he finally let out a long breath and wrote the answer on a piece of bamboo.

Shi Mo put the two bamboo pieces on the table, was silent thoughtfully for a long time, and finally spoke: "Taigu is one hundred and two miles and one hundred and eight steps away from Jinyang, and the march will arrive within a day and a half. After speaking, he handed the two pieces of bamboo to Zhao Ying, "Both of them are right, but Qin Shi won quickly." ”

"Qin Ren wins in the first round!" After receiving Shi Mo's signal, the white-clothed witch boy chanted loudly.

I could clearly hear Bo Lu breathe a long sigh of relief, Yin Gao, who was sitting on my left, smiled at me, and Luan Tao on my right blushed with shame and indignation.

"Taishi, she just used the calculation plan to lay out a few numbers, and there is no calculation process, how can she know the answer?" Zhao Ying asked.

"If you are in doubt, you can try again!" Shi Mo said slowly.

Zhao Ying thought about it, so he asked again: "My Zhao Mansion has people who eat ten buckets of millet every day, of which thirty-seven men eat two handfuls of millet per day, and half a handful of maids eat millet in my house, how many maids are there in my house?" ”

As soon as his words fell, I had already blurted out: "If ten handfuls are a small fight, there will be fifty-two servants in the adult's house." ”

Zhao Yingxu didn't expect me to answer his question so quickly, he was slightly stunned, and turned his head to ask Shi Mo with his eyes. Shi Mo said with a straight face: "Her calculation process is hidden in her heart, and there is no need to calculate. ”

Shi Mo said, everyone in the room had round eyes, and a few children looked at me with their mouths wide open, with a look of surprise.

Although the master is not familiar with the art of yin and yang witchcraft, he is good at calculus. When he saw that my memory was different from that of ordinary people, he multiplied the numbers in the ninety-nine songs sung by the children from one to nine to one to ninety-nine.

After I memorized it, he put the calculation chip away, and everything from now on was calculated by heart. In the past six years, I have developed my own original calculus.

"The disciple is willing to compare the soul dementoring technique with the Qin people again!" Luan Tao stood up, obviously embarrassed by the fiasco just now.

"You step back first, let Yin Gao compete with her!" Shi Mo looked at his disciple and said kindly.

"Master!"

"Yin Gao stays, everyone else goes down!" The people in the house who had originally come to see the excitement saw Shi Mo's order, and they all knelt down.

"With the theme of the Yellow Pond Alliance, astrology is used to measure good fortune and evil. Which of you will come first? Shi Mo asked.

Yin Gao looked at me with a worried face, maybe my performance in the past few days made him feel that it was too unfair to compete with me.

"Let her come first!" Zhao Ying said coldly.

"No!" I stood up, handed the bamboo slip written in advance to Tai Shimo, and then said in a loud voice, "The little girl watched the sky for a few days and nights, and found that Si Weixing forcibly entered the realm of Xuanwu in the Northern Heaven last night, and gathered Pengxu Xing between Dou, Niu, and Nu. The strong entry of the demon star is the appearance of the great murderer, and the gathered Pengxu star is the main army to kill and kill, so there must be a battle in the country of Wu and Yue corresponding to the three houses. ”

Zhao Ying leaned forward, lowered his voice and asked, "Which of these two countries can win?" ”

"Wu is in the East Five Lines of wood, and it will be beneficial to it to be in the Yellow Pond Shuize, but if it stays for too long, the water will rot and the roots of the wood will corrode and fall."

"You mean, the husband can't stay in the Yellow Pond for a long time?"

"Yes! The Yue country is located in the south of the Wu country, which is a fire, and the five elements in summer are also fire, so the timing is conducive to the Yue country, which is one of them; Second, Wu Guoju is in the north of the country and is water, and water overcomes fire, which is the original common way. But when the king of Wu attacked the Yue country, the year star was in the Yue, and although the more was defeated, the Wu country was also hit by the year star, and its momentum was declining. Weak water meets strong fire and burns out. Once Wu Yue starts a war, the king of Yue will definitely be able to directly take Wu Dugusu. ”

Zhao Ying's face, which had been stiff, showed a smile at this moment: "Wu will die in the country?" ”

"Jin lives in the west of Wuyue, which is golden. Jin Shengshui, so Jin rescued Wu, so that Yue could not die in one day. ”

As soon as I said this, Zhao Ying suddenly stood up from his position and asked sharply, "Who is this woman?" ”

Shi Mo looked at me with half-squinted eyes and said word by word: "Bai Ze holds the book." ”

Bai Ze is an ancient divine beast, living in Kunlun, knowing human language, understanding the feelings of all things, and asking about ghosts and gods. If a saint rules the world, he will come with a book to assist. Shi Mo compared me to Bai Ze, and compared Zhao Ying to a saint who ruled the world. And Zhao Yingxu didn't expect that I, a little Qin girl, would be able to live in a fighting room and know the general trend of the world, so I didn't say anything about Bai Zezhi.

After two competitions, Shi Mo decided to bathe and bless the world, and officially accepted me as an apprentice seven days later. Zhao Ying didn't mention that he wanted to give me to Zhiyao as a female musician, but gave me a small courtyard of the Zhao family on the bank of the muddy water as a temporary residence.

"How did you win that day, Yin Gao, hurry, tell Hongyun'er again!" Beru dragged Zhao Wuxian to sit in our courtyard and kept asking me to repeat what happened that day.

"I've told you three times, and you still want to listen?" I poured a bowl of freshly fried medicinal soup for Beru and handed it to him, "Isn't there a witch doctor in your own house, why did you come to me to ask for medicine?" ”

"Taishi said that you are the son of God incarnated by Bai Ze, I don't drink your medicine, who will drink it! Hurry up, tell me about that day! Bo Lu tilted his neck and poured all the medicine into his mouth, turned his head to Wu Xian and said, "Fortunately, when you were not there that day, when Father Qing said that he was going to give her to Zhiyao, it scared me to death." She was fine, the old god knelt there on the ground and said, 'If the prime minister leaves the little girl in the house at this moment, I am afraid that he will send someone to pick her up in half an hour, which is really too troublesome.' 'Listen, there's such a terrible thing! ”

"What did Father Qing say later?" Zhao Wuxian took a sip of wine and asked with a smile.

"Father Qing said to take her with him, if Taishi didn't say that he wanted to see her, he would directly kill her and throw it into the muddy water to feed the fish!"

"Taishi really asked about her?"

"After Taishi saw the ceremony, the first thing he said was, 'Where is the Qin girl?' , didn't you see it, my father's face was stiff at that time. After Boru finished laughing, he laughed twice and began to cough again.

Wuxian patted him lightly on the back, looked at me and said, "She actually doesn't know anything about astrology, how she won Yin Gao that day, I'm also quite curious." ”

"I didn't understand a word of what she said. It's just that after speaking, Yin Gao admitted defeat. Beru took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Yin Gao admits defeat to you? Is this my dream a change? The smile on his lips was exaggerated.

I told Wu Xian about my astrology that day, and explained: "Yin Gao conceded defeat because he felt that he had missed the role of the Jin State in the relationship between Wu and Yue. ”

"Si Weixing enters the Xuanwu realm? You don't even know which one the star is! Wuxian looked distrustful, turned his head and said to Beru again, "She has only learned a little bit from Yin Gao in the past few days, if she can really go to heaven in two days, then I will also believe what the son of God said." ”

I saw that the two of them looked curious, so I took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I haven't learned the art of astrology well, Si Wei Xing gathered Pengxu Star in the realm of Xuanwu, Yin Gao told me." ”

"But Yin Gao clearly told me that day that he never mentioned to you about the celestial phenomenon of the entry of the evil star! Could it be that an honest man like him would lie for you? Buru frowned, puzzled.

"I am not good at astrology, but I am good at the soul. He didn't know what he had said to me at the stargazing platform the night before. I narrowed my eyes and said mysteriously.
