"Thank you for the advice. Cheng Li Zhengse bowed to the boy and thanked him.

After coming into this world, he did have some superiority and stubbornness as a modern man, believing that science is supreme.

However, after Xiao Shutong said this, Cheng Li somewhat understood that whether it was cultivation, science, arithmetic, or magic, and other different ways of exploring the avenue, they all had their own strengths, and there was no superiority or inferiority.

I am afraid that only by gathering the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought can it be possible to truly explore the true mystery of the Great Dao.

At this moment, his heart is not so big, for him, the avenue or something is still too far away.

He just wanted to go home.

Xiao Daotong didn't know what Cheng Li was thinking, but he was a really diligent and studious student, and he still said in a pretending old-school manner: "There are three thousand Taos, each of which is different.

"It's different, there's no good or bad. If we can tolerate mergers and acquisitions, it is possible to really reach the other side of the avenue!

"And my way of arithmetic is that the sea is inclusive, and the three thousand avenues have to be more or less related to my way of arithmetic. Xiao Daotong said with some pride.

And Cheng Li also agrees with this.

He never thought of mathematics as just a tool.

In fact, in the modern society on the earth, the shadow of mathematics can be seen everywhere, and it is mathematics that supports the theory and application foundation of all walks of life.

It is not an exaggeration to say that mathematics is the cornerstone of modern scientific society.

Therefore, Xiao Daotong said that arithmetic is the most inclusive, and Cheng Li also agrees.

So he said: "I think so too, and I also respect the way of arithmetic the most." ”

When Xiao Daotong heard this, he had a very perceptive expression, "Yes, yes, I haven't spoken to anyone for a thousand years, and as soon as I came in, you were such a smart person, and you didn't let me wait for a thousand years in vain." ”

After the two exchanged a few words of nonsense, Cheng Li still entered the topic.

"But I don't know, what is the trial of the arithmetic monument?"

Cheng Li has talked so much with this little boy, and the main purpose is to get some words from him. After all, he was completely blind to the so-called arithmetic tablet trial, and if he rushed in, he didn't know what the result would be. So it's better to ask clearly.

"Although the content is very complicated, the form of the trial is very simple.

"On each floor of the arithmetic monument, there is a problem. After answering the questions, even if you pass through this floor, you can move on to the next floor. ”

"Just answering questions?" Cheng Li asked carefully, "Then these questions are all about yin-yang arithmetic?"

"It would be more accurate to say arithmetic, and all the test questions are related to arithmetic. Yin-yang arithmetic is only one part of arithmetic. Xiao Shutong corrected.

"Then the question is the same every time? Isn't it possible for latecomers to pass the answer on their backs?"

Faced with Cheng Li's question, Xiao Shutong sneered: "How can it be so simple.

"First of all, every time people come in, the problems they face are different.

"Secondly, the arithmetic monument will point directly to the hearts of the people, and only if you really understand the answer to this question can you pass. The answer is no.

"Otherwise, in the past 8,000 years, how can only a foreign Taoist be able to pass through the 3,000th floor of the arithmetic monument?"

After thinking about it, Cheng Li asked again: "Is there a time limit for the answer to each of these questions?"

Xiao Shutong replied with an expression that he knew you would ask such a question: "This is naturally yes, anyone who enters the arithmetic monument and answers the questions on each floor needs to answer it within 1 day." More than that, it's a failure. ”

"One day?, so it took more than 8 years for a foreigner to arrive at the 3137th floor?" Cheng Li said a little incredulously.

"It's not more than 8 years, I remember it took 5 years. After all, he didn't spend 1 day on every floor.

"This foreign Taoist is indeed the person with the best arithmetic talent I have ever seen. In fact, when he first entered the arithmetic monument, his arithmetic attainments were not too deep.

But he was stunned to think about the arithmetic problems given at each level. In this way, I encountered a problem, thought about it on the spot, then solved the problem, cleared all the way, and finally reached the 3137th floor, but I couldn't answer it within 1 day, and stopped there. ”

Cheng Li said in his heart after listening: "This foreign Taoist must be a mathematical genius. ”

Then he asked, "Is it possible to answer the question with the help of a tool, such as an arithmetic?"

The little arithmetic boy shook his head and said, "The calculator is naturally not good." No tool is possible, you can only rely on your own divine consciousness to deduce and calculate, or the Yuan Infant monk can use the Yuan Infant to assist in deduction and calculation. But in addition to itself, you can't use any external force, otherwise you will be directly expelled from the arithmetic monument even if you cheat. ”

There is no doubt that the higher the cultivation level and the stronger the divine consciousness, the more beneficial this rule is.

So Cheng Li asked again: "Is there a limit to the number of times you can enter this arithmetic monument?"

Xiao Shutong nodded and said, "Everyone can only participate in the arithmetic tablet trial once, but there is one exception. ”

"What exceptions?"

"After passing the 3,000th floor, in addition to being eligible to become the owner of the Arithmetic Monument, you can also get an additional chance to enter the Arithmetic Monument. In addition to the 3000th floor, through the 6000th floor, the 9000th floor can get an additional chance to enter the Arithmetic Monument. ”

"Other than that, no one can re-enter the Arithmetic Monument. ”

Cheng Li asked: "Then the foreign Daoist arrived at the 3137th floor the first time he came in, so he still has one chance to enter the arithmetic monument, so how many floors did he finally arrive at when he came in for the second time?"

Xiao Shutong said: "The second time, he finally arrived at the 3677th floor, but he still couldn't go far, and his talent ended here." ”

"Then the second place, Guiyuan Zhenren, how many floors has he reached?"

When Cheng Li was carried by Xiao Hei to look at the arithmetic monument before, he clearly saw that the name of the person who ranked second in the arithmetic monument and was engraved at the top of the second layer of the arithmetic monument was the third-generation ancestor of Qingling Island, Guiyuan Zhenren, that is, the strongman who formulated the plan to return to the ruins.

"Guiyuan Zhenren is indeed a good person, in fact, he is only a little bit away from becoming my second master. However, he was at the 2876th floor, which was still a little close.

"If you were a real person at that time, you would have been able to reach the 3,000th floor. If I had become my second master, then Qingling Island thousands of years ago might not have been like this. ”

Cheng Li said curiously: "Didn't you say that you are not a combat celestial weapon, so do you have any impact on the overall situation?"

Xiao Shutong was immediately unconvinced and said, "Please, although I am not a combat celestial weapon. But I'm also a celestial weapon, do you understand?!

"My grade will naturally be one level higher than that of a man-made magic weapon of the same level. At that time, Guiyuan Zhenren was already a master of the Distraction Period, if he could become my master, then he would be equivalent to having the ability to drive the Seven Rank Magic Weapon! Although I don't have any combat powers, even if I am used as a brick to smash people, it will be very powerful, okay!"
