Chapter 6: Star Arithmetic
When Shu Ye returned to the shop hall again, the surrounding situation was completely different from before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The sky was already bright, and the dazzling light shone on the top and bottom of the Ming Pavilion, and in the wide hall, many men were scattered around, busily preparing the things needed for business, and the lights of the lights had been extinguished, and the sound of noisy arguments sounded from everywhere.
The silence is gone, and the noise is coming.
Shopkeeper Mo lightly swept past the busy guys, pulled open the railing of the counter, entered the counter, picked up a pen and wrote on the account book for a while, before calling Shu Ye and looking for the remaining fifteen silver coins to him: "A total of sixty silver coins, in addition to the value of the items you exchanged, there are still fifteen left, you can count them." ”
Shu Ye nodded, roughly counted the silver coins in his palm, and put them in his arms.
"I have asked Ah Hu to fetch the five buckets of grain you need from the warehouse. He walked out of the counter, took Shu Ye to the corner of the hall door, picked up a large bag of grain and handed it to Shu Ye, "Five buckets of rice, the grains are not bad." ”
Shu Ye took the grain bag and carried it on his shoulder, thanked him with a sword, and was about to say goodbye to the old man, when he bent over, two guys carrying heavy stone slabs behind him suddenly collided with him.
The huge force quickly hit Shu Ye's lumbar vertebrae, his body was unstable, and he stumbled, staggered forward, and threw himself straight towards the old man.
Shopkeeper Mo saw Shu Ye's whole person fall down instantly, and couldn't help but take a quick step back.
He reacted like electricity, and as soon as his thin arm was in the air, he quickly supported Shu Ye, with a cold glint in his eyes, and he scolded the two guys who bumped into him with a burst of anger: "What's the matter with you two, I obviously saw someone here, and I bumped into it, are you blind, and besides, didn't I ask you to put this stone plate in front of the door and not move, who let you move in, do you not understand people's words or don't take my words to heart at all......"
The old man's voice was like a bell, which shocked the two of them with fright, and their faces turned pale.
The two of them lowered their heads tremblingly, let the shopkeeper reprimand, bent down and apologized to Shu Ye, and hurriedly lifted the stone plate that fell to the ground, ready to put it back in front of the door.
"Huh......"
Shu Ye suddenly saw the lines on the stone plate, felt a little familiar, and was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stopped the two from moving away from the stone plate.
"What is this?" he asked, pointing to the vertical and horizontal lines on the stone plate.
"A question. Shopkeeper Mo sighed and replied, "An esoteric and unsolvable problem. ”
"Can you show me?" Shu Ye asked, with a twinkle in his eyes.
The look in Shopkeeper Mo's eyes fluctuated like water ripples, stared at Shu Ye, nodded, and made a gesture of please.
After Shu Ye got permission, he quickly put down the rice bag, squatted down, and brushed the dust off the stone plate with his palm.
When the dust was gone, the stone plate lines were revealed, Shu Ye's eyes instantly revealed a terrifying light, his body shook, and his heart was like a turbulent wave.
The lines are deep on the stone plate, vertical and horizontal three grids, clearly distinguished, written on one to nine numbers, the following rules of the law, but it is Shu Ye's memory, impressive nine palace number series.
"What, this question will be solved?"
Shopkeeper Mo suddenly saw the light in Shu Ye's eyes, grabbed it in an instant, squatted down, and looked at him excitedly.
Shu Ye wanted to say, 'It's not easy', but when he looked back and saw the excited look on Shopkeeper Mo's face that he couldn't hide, he instantly swallowed back the words and asked, "What is the origin of this question?"
"Absolutely. Shopkeeper Mo waved his hand to disperse the two guys beside him, and replied, "This question is three years ago, a mysterious big man Yu Imperial Capital stayed in my Ming Pavilion, he made countless fortunes and a sky-high promise at that time, please ask my Pavilion to find someone to solve the problem, my Pavilion will naturally not refuse under such rich conditions, but I didn't expect that this question ......"
"For three years, no one has been able to solve it, right?" Shu Ye asked.
Shopkeeper Mo nodded, with a helpless expression: "My pavilion once offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins to find the person who solved the problem, and even engraved this question on the stone plate, divided it into every pavilion in the world, and spread it throughout the entire Great Chu Empire, but in the past three years, no one has been able to solve it." Legend has it that this question can only be solved by the secret method of 'Star Arithmetic' of the Star Mark Sect, but the Star Mark Sect has been annihilated for thousands of years, how can there be a successor who knows the secret method. ”
"Star arithmetic. Shu Ye muttered in his heart, "This name is much better than the Nine Palaces Arithmetic." ”
"Will Childe solve it?"
After Shopkeeper Mo explained the source of the question, he looked at Shu Ye with great anticipation, and his heart was extremely nervous.
Although he didn't know what this mysterious question meant, he knew that if Shu Ye could solve this question, his life would be turned upside down, and he would not only be able to obtain countless wealth and benefits, but maybe he could go one step further, enter the core of the Ming Pavilion, and break through the shackles of the current realm.
Shu Ye looked at the lines on the stone plate in a daze, and countless doubts surged in his mind, but he didn't hear Shopkeeper Mo's inquiry at all.
"Is there any connection between this 'star arithmetic' and the nine-palace arithmetic, whether this world has nothing to do with the earth, and whether I can be reborn here is because of an accident or a ......?"
The appearance of this question made the thoughts in his mind like a mess, cutting and cutting, and sorting out the mess.
"Childe, childe......" Shopkeeper Mo saw Shu Ye staring at the stone plate pattern and frowned, he couldn't help but call softly, handed over a charcoal pen, and asked, "Will you solve it?"
"Hmm. Shu Ye responded, took the charcoal pen he handed over, restrained his mind, and replied lightly, "It's actually very simple." ”
"It's very simple?" Shopkeeper Mo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look stunned.
He thought about all Shu Ye's answers, but he didn't expect it to be these three words, and he was shocked, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Beside him, the people of the Ming Pavilion, who had already gathered out of curiosity, heard Shu Ye's arrogant answer, and there was a chuckle in their hearts, full of countless questions.
"Simple, bragging, the people of the entire empire have not been able to solve it, this stinky kid can solve it?"
"The hair hasn't grown, he can know what 'star arithmetic' is, I think it's just fooling the shopkeeper. ”
"Hey, the shopkeeper too, you can't go to the doctor if you're in a hurry, this kid is dressed in tatters, and you can see at a glance that he's a poor boy, I guess I don't even know the words, how do you know what algorithm. ”
"Hmph, young and ignorant, if this kid can know how to calculate, won't the whole empire become fools, and he will be kind to the shopkeeper, if he meets me, he will definitely be beaten out. ”
"Such an arrogant guy should teach him some lessons, so that he no longer dares to speak out in Mingge. ”
Countless mocking voices sounded in the crowd, and everyone was very dissatisfied and disdainful of Shu Ye's arrogance.
When Shopkeeper Mo heard these voices, his heart sank, and he pondered for a moment, and the rising hope instantly cooled, and his attitude towards Shu Ye gradually turned cold.
Shu Ye glanced lightly at the contemptuous look on everyone's faces, smiled slightly, ignored it, picked up the charcoal pen, and slowly filled in the spaces from one to nine numbers in the vertical and horizontal spaces of the stone plate.
Although the arithmetic of the Nine Palaces is profound and difficult to understand in this world, it is the most basic arithmetic problem on the earth.
Although Shu Ye is not a high-achieving student, as a soul from the earth, it is really easy to solve this basic problem.
Numbers from one to nine were written into the space of the stone plate by him without any pause at all.
The eyes of the onlookers widened, watching Shu Ye do it without thinking, their hearts were extremely shocked, and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces.
"This ...... How is this possible, how can this kid solve it so quickly......"
"It can't be scribbled, how can it be so fast, this is a problem that only 'Star Arithmetic' can solve. ”
"It's not like scribbling, you look at every row, every column has the same result, it's ...... It's also amazing. ”
"What kind of boy is this, it's a genius, ...... How can you unravel ...... so easily?"
Countless exclamations sounded from the crowd of onlookers, and everyone's eyes, looking at Shu Ye, were full of shock and envy, and the previous doubts and ridicules were like ice and snow melting and dissipating without a trace in everyone's continuous verification of the question.
Shu Ye threw down the charcoal pen, stood up easily, casually glanced at the people whose attitudes had reversed instantly, picked up the grain bag, and walked out of the hall as if there was no one.
Shopkeeper Mo was immersed in the verification of the stone plate problem, calculating over and over again, and did not notice Shu Ye's departure at all.
"I have solved this question, and I will take the bounty of 100,000 gold coins the next day. Shu Ye turned around at the gate of the Ming Pavilion and looked at the entire Ming Pavilion in awe, "When I come next time, I hope that your Pavilion can be ready." ”
After he finished speaking, he smiled slightly, stepped into the wind and snow alone, and walked away.
The cloth-clothed man in the shadow at the door saw that Mo Lao did not make a sound, and could only watch Shu Ye leave in silence.
"Haha...... It's been solved, it's been solved......"
The shopkeeper, who had verified the inscription on the stone plate more than a dozen times, suddenly screamed, and stood up as if he were crazy, his face was red, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
He looked around the hall excitedly, but didn't find Shu Ye's figure, his heart sank, and he couldn't help yelling outside the hall: "Ah Hu, what about the childe, what about the childe, invite him over quickly, the old man wants to thank him personally, and let Ah Lie immediately hurry to the Elite City, tell Lord Shen the news, let him send a message to the imperial capital, and tell the pavilion master......"
When the cloth-clothed man in the shadow at the door heard the voice of the shopkeeper Mo, his heart suddenly shook, and he hurriedly ran into the house, and said in a mouthful: "Mo ...... Mo Lao, that son...... Childe is gone. ”
"Do you know where you went?" Shopkeeper Mo asked, seeing that the man shook his head, he couldn't help but be angry, "I don't know? I don't know if you won't chase...... From now on, this son is already the most important person in my Ming Pavilion, and he must be taken care of, do you understand? ”
He was full of green tendons and fierce momentum, and roared at the man: "Go find that prince immediately, protect him, and wait for Lord Shen of the Absolute City to come here to take over." ”
Under the stern reprimand of the shopkeeper Mo, the man in cloth did not dare to have any complaints, answered, hurriedly grabbed the door and went straight to the direction where Shu Ye left.
