Chapter 92: The Magnitude Measurement

The star envoy shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not! The nine-star students can be counted with one pair of hands." But the eight-star students, there are dozens of people in the West Wind Star Hall alone! Do you think that the priests and the worshippers are really idle and have nothing to do in normal times?"

"Okay, this is the star stone, you put it away. The process of Xingjun's assessment has been completed at this point. As he spoke, the senior star envoy completed the registration of the volume, handed Wu Xing a star stone, and waved his hand directly to chase away the guest.

"Why did the assessment take so long, and you rushed back when the class was about to start. Qin Lan glanced at Wu Xing and frowned.

"I studied the nine-character mantra in the Star Temple just now, and looked at the annotation of the nine-character mantra given by the Star Temple. Wu Xing explained with a grin.

Wu Xing had just found a Mazha next to Qin Lan to sit down, and before he could say a word, a fourth-grade star envoy who was in charge of patrolling the field walked over and motioned for Wu Xing to stand up.

"Auditor students, senior, I have completed the assessment process of Xingjun, this is Xingshi. Wu Xing said with a smile.

Fire meteors descend on the Starfall Continent every few years, so there is also a ranking among the Star Monarchs. Usually, the students who are newly admitted to the Star Hall or the Star God Hall call other Star Monarchs outside the same class "seniors". Later, there were indeed some latecomer-first-served students whose grades were higher than those who entered the Star Hall and Star God Temple earlier, and this title naturally evolved into calling the Star Monarch who was two or three grades higher than his own two or three grades as "seniors". In any case, it's always okay for Wu Xing to call the other party a senior now.

The senior didn't seem to have any trouble, but he smiled indifferently and explained: "The number of seats for the students has been fixed, and it has been arranged long before the start of the class. Auditors can only stand to listen to the lecture. These are the rules. ”

Wu Xing naturally had no objections, apologized, and obediently walked outside the Mazha array to stand still, ready to listen to the lecture. In fact, if you look around, you can also find that the few audit students who arrived at this time have star stones hanging on their waists, and they are all standing outside the seat area.

Lao Shi and several other students from Longyou County walked from the direction of the stele forest, and discussed in a low voice along the way, probably browsing the exercises on some of the giant stone steles first. Looking at the attitude of the other students towards Lao Shi, they already have a vague feeling of looking ahead.

When Lao Shi saw Wu Xing, he still showed that honest smile, walked over and said hello, and then found a Mazha to sit down at random. Several students from Longyou County greeted each other and sat down. A small circle seems to have formed.

During the teaching of the Star Palace, only students are admitted. When the Star Hall Stele Forest is open to all Star Monarchs again, these students will become the group with the lowest status, and these current dramas will only add to the laughter.

By the time the previous Star Venerable slowly climbed onto the podium, which was about half a person high, and sat down on the futon, exactly an hour had passed.

In the middle of the small mound is a cyan bamboo mat, a low table, a pot of tea, a tea cup, and that's it.

"In the old calendar, even saints often found some haystacks, open spaces, or under big trees to give lectures, although the conditions were very simple, but it did not affect the saints to preach and teach the people to solve their doubts. Xingzun's opening remarks said: "Therefore, on the path of cultivation, don't be confused by the complicated appearances, and stick to your original intention!"

After a short opening remarks, Xingzun began the formal teaching.

“...... At present, one of the most commonly used methods for analyzing inscriptions is the 'four vertical and five horizontal method'. In short, it is to find the inscription of the four nine-character mantras of 'soldier, person, array, and front' on the stele as the horizontal axis, and the inscription of the five nine-character mantras of 'Lin, Gate, Both, Array, and Column' as the vertical axis; the area where the nine characters crisscross is the inscription used for the star; and then interpret it in the order of holding the pen with the left hand, first from top to bottom, and then from right to left; after the whole inscription is analyzed, it needs to be transformed into 'Yang Wen'. This will result in a cosmetic pattern for the Star Attachment. ”

“...... The method of four verticals and five horizontals is the basis for analyzing the inscriptions, but in fact, the arrangement of many inscriptions is not strictly in accordance with the pattern of the word "well" of "four verticals and five horizontals"; there is even a pattern in which the word "well" is completely reversed. And these are the profound and profound inscriptions. There is only one way to write the correct ornamentation, in fact, it can also be attached to the ornament, but the ornamentation is inefficient or even ineffective......"

“...... Some of the steles that can find the 'four vertical and five horizontal method' of the tic-tac-toe pattern have been analyzed, and some are still being tried to crack repeatedly, while the other giant stone tablets that cannot find the 'four vertical and five horizontal method' of the tic-tac-toe pattern have been judged to be waste steles. At that time, the Seven Kingdoms, the Star Temple, and the Star God Temple spent nearly a hundred years before and after collecting and screening those giant stone tablets left over from the previous dynasties of the old calendar......"

Xingzun's lectures are simple and simple, sometimes a serious quotation of scriptures, and sometimes he puts down his body to gag. All the students listened fascinated.

"I believe that some of you have already gone to the Forest of Steles just now. Then it should also be found that there will be a small stone tablet next to each giant stone tablet, on which there is the most accurate 'annotation' of the inscription selected by our West Wind Star Temple. Xingzun teased, "Of course, you can also try to make more accurate 'annotations', and the West Wind Star Hall will give you enough rewards." You can even be anonymous and specify where the reward is sent, who will receive it, and so on. ”

There was a well-intentioned laugh from the audience.

Xingzun waited until his voice was getting lower before he spoke: "Actually, the priests of the Star Hall of the Seven Kingdoms are all 'doing their own thing'. The stele in each Star Temple is irreproducible and impossible to move, and promotion to the position of High Priest must be considered holistically, and the interests of all Star Temples need to be put first. ”

"In fact, it's not just the stele forest in the Star Palace, even the stele forest in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms is the same. When the gods of the Heavenly Court created the megalith, they probably didn't even think about making an identical megalith. The High Priest of the Star God Temple and the Lord of the Southern Chu Kingdom Stargazing Tower had all said that the rebuilding of the Heavenly Court might require the collection of all the giant stone tablets that had fallen from the Heavenly Court to the Star Falling Continent in the first place. And collecting all the megalithic tablets was something that the first emperor of the ages did not succeed in. Hopefully, any of you will be able to see that sacred moment firsthand, and it would be better if you could be a part of it. ”

"The gossip is over, but our first class isn't over yet. Next, we're going to do a little quiz. Xingzun also said: "Since the beginning of the previous dynasties of the old calendar, Xingjun observed the stars, comprehended the way of heaven, and divided the stars into one to nine according to the degree of brightness, a total of nine star scales. First-magnitude stars are the brightest, while ninth-magnitude stars are the faintest. And imitating the magnitude of the star, the star monarchs converted the strength of their spiritual power: the ninth-magnitude star is counted as one degree, and the first-magnitude star is counted as nine degrees. ”

"Now, please take turns to stand in front of the podium, light up the sea of stars in your body, and measure the magnitude of the stars. This is a benefit that our teachers and all of you have won for the students, and the students who are in the top 10 of the star scale can join the small class of the outer house to practice. The small classes in the outer house are taught by the worshippers and the priests of the Temple of the West Wind. ”

Wow!

The students below immediately couldn't sit still and turned their heads and ears.

When Wu Xing saw that among the people who came to maintain order on the scene, there was also the senior star envoy who had completed the Star Monarch assessment for himself not long ago, and he couldn't help frowning and smiling bitterly.

The star envoy senior who asked Wu Xing to "audit" before was right, the students' seats were all arranged. When the front row of students were all nine-star students and eight-star students taking turns to walk to the podium, a sea of stars more or less than ten stars would appear above their heads, like real stars. There is no doubt that these students with their right or left hands are all nine-star or eight-star, and they will be the objects that the West Wind Star Hall will focus on cultivating in the future.

The process continues, and after each student, the star of the class will sing the number of the students, report the measure of the magnitude, and then the two star envoys will record it on the scroll.

The auditors seemed to have the lowest status among the students, and even the magnitude measure was ranked last. Wu Xing could take the opportunity to observe the situation of the students.

Because most of the students present had been cultivating for half a year, the vast majority of the students had a ninth-rank star level, and there were not many eighth-rank students. There are only those two left-handed nine-star Wenqu Xingjun, and the star level is basically above the eighth rank, far ahead of the other students. Among them, it is natural that a few students who have advanced to the eighth rank of the Star Monarch have the advantage, after all, under the premise that the star level is comparable, the number of stars in the star sea has naturally become the only criterion for determining the star magnitude measurement.

Those students who have completed the star test walk up to the star who is teaching today, bow down, and receive a paper notice for the start time of the next class, and they can leave.

Wu Xing's position was originally the last position, and at this time it was close to the podium, just next to the star envoy who helped Wu Xing complete the Xingjun assessment.

"It turns out that there is such a magical array in front of the podium!" Wu Xing pretended to be amazed and muttered, "I knew that this was the case, and I didn't need it just now." ”

The Star Envoy laughed, and then teased Wu Xing: "Spiritual power is the most mysterious area of the Star Monarch. Xingjun does not light up the stars of the sea of stars in his body, and even Xingzun, who is well versed in the art of star thought, does not know the number of stars in Xingjun's body, let alone the instrument array. So, you might as well try again this time!"

Wu Xing sneered and laughed at himself: "I originally thought that the eight-star Nine-Rank Star Monarch was still talented. I didn't expect that there were already so many eight-star students in Xifeng alone. ”
