Yan Shu was chased and killed by the martial arts people in the Central Plains, and thought in her heart: "I am not the leader of the martial arts alliance, what is the benefit of killing so many characters in the rivers and lakes?" Besides, I am outnumbered and have no allies to help, so if I kill too many people and cause too much energy consumption, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure my own safety. Under the thought, Yan Shu mainly avoided martial arts people because of this, and only when she couldn't hide from it did she start with the other party.

That night, Yan Shu was forced into a forest. I saw that the path in the forest was winding east and west, and Yan Shu walked for a long time and couldn't get out of the woods. Yan Shu jumped on the branch and looked into the distance, and there was a light in front of her. Yan Shu estimated the distance and rushed to the light. After a long drive, Yan Shu realized that she had reached the vicinity of the lights, jumped on the branches again to check, and found that the distance had not narrowed, and the lights were behind her.

Yan Shu thought for a while and knew that the road in the forest was a formation arranged artificially. When Yan Shu was in Emei, she read the book of war in order to oppose the yuan, and she also had an understanding of the art of the Five Elements Qimen. As soon as you try it in the forest, you will immediately know the correct path.

In less than a cup of tea, Yan Shu was already out of the woods, and the lights were already in front of her. Yan Shu walked a few more steps and found that there was a sludge lake in front of her, and there were two thatched huts built in the sludge lake and marsh, and the lights were shining from the thatched houses.

Yan Shu shouted loudly: "I am a passerby, I ask the master to make it convenient, spend the night for the night, and beg for soup to drink." A woman's voice in the hut said, "Since you can come here, you naturally have the ability to enter the house, do you want me to come out to greet you?" "The voice is cold and abnormal, obviously not like outsiders to disturb. Yan Shu didn't want to deliberately annoy people and embarrass Xiang Yan, so she retreated to the forest and slept for one night.

"The First Evolution"

After dawn the next day, when Yan Shu was about to leave, a gray-haired woman in a linen shirt came to Yan Shu and said, "It turned out to be a little girl." Why didn't you come in last night? Do you want me to greet you? "The woman was beautiful, but she was about forty years old, and her sideburns were full of hair. The forehead is full of wrinkles, but the cheeks are like congealed fat, and a face is bounded by the eyes, half old in the upper part and half young in the lower half, but it seems to be more than 20 years old.

Yan Shu said: "I saw that the seniors seemed to like quietness, so I didn't bother the seniors. The woman said again: "Is Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, chasing you?" Yan Shu said: "Yes." "Secretly raise your vigilance. The woman said: "Why did Qiu Qianren personally lead people to chase after a little girl like you?" Who are you? When he asked this, his voice was extremely harsh.

Yan Shu was unhappy in her heart, and said: "I poisoned the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so the people in the martial arts are chasing me to avenge their emperor." In order not to affect her predecessors, the little woman said goodbye. The woman smiled faintly and said, "I am so young and stubborn. Qiu Qianren has led people to surround the three layers of the inside and the outside of this neighborhood tightly, can you get out? Yan Shu couldn't help but hesitate.

The woman said, "Qiu Qianren, they can't find the way, and they can't get in." You can go and live in my hut for a few days, and when Qiu Qianren and them are gone, you can go out again. Turning and walking towards the hut, Yan Shu followed the woman to the hut.

I saw a long table in the thatched hut, with seven oil lamps on it, arranged in the shape of Tiangang Beidou. There were countless pieces of bamboo on the ground, all of which were about four inches long and two inches wide, and Yan Shu knew that they were counting operators. When the woman saw the hut, she squatted on the ground and looked at the bamboo.

After the woman finished calculating an arithmetic problem, Yan Shu said: "Seniors, juniors also know a little about arithmetic problems, I don't know if there is anything I can help you." The woman snorted and said, "What do you know about arithmetic as a little girl?" What's the nonsense here? Yan Shu smiled and stopped talking. Since the woman does not believe, then forget it.

After a while, the woman stood up and said to Yan Shu, "Follow me." "Bring Yan Shu into the inner room. I saw that the walls of the inner room were surrounded by a circle, and the ground was covered with fine sand, and many horizontal and vertical symbols and circles were drawn on the sand, and some words such as "Tianyuan", "Diyuan", and "Renyuan" were written. Yan Shu knew that the runes on the ground were a difficult problem in the number of spells, and they were the "Tianyuan Technique" in the scriptures.

The woman said, "Since you say that you know the arithmetic, then you can solve these arithmetic problems." Yan Shu wrote on the sand with her fingers as she wanted, and in a moment, she had solved the seven or eight arithmetic problems listed on the sand. The woman was surprised and stunned for a long time, and then suddenly asked, "Are you human?" Yan Shuxin said: "What's so difficult about this? If I don't even understand this, how can I arrange troops and command a war? He said with a smile: "If the seniors dare to be interested, the juniors are willing to discuss with the seniors." ”

The woman was depressed, her body shook a few times, and suddenly she fell into the sand, and put her head in her hands, and pondered bitterly. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, with a happy face, and said: "Your algorithm is naturally a hundred times better than me, but let me ask you, arrange the nine numbers from one to nine in three columns, regardless of the vertical and horizontal oblique angles, and the sum of every three words is fifteen, how to arrange it?" ”

Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Nine palaces? Zhen Luan of the Northern and Southern Dynasties once indicated: two four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, one on the nine, and five in the center. As he spoke, he drew a picture of the Nine Palaces on the sand. The woman's face was as dead as ashes, and she sighed: "I just said that this is my original secret method, but I didn't expect that there was a song recipe that had already been handed down. ”

The woman stood up tremblingly, suddenly held her heart, her face showed a sharp pain, and hurriedly took out a green pill from the vial in her arms and swallowed it in her abdomen. After a while, his face softened, and he sighed: "That's it, that's it!" Two tears welled up in his eyes. Yan Shu only felt that the woman's behavior was extremely strange, and said softly: "Senior, are you okay?" ”

In the woman's tears, Yan Shu realized the truth. It turned out that the woman's name was Aunt Ying, and the husband was Zhou Botong, the uncle of the seventh son of Quanzhen. Zhou Botong was imprisoned on Peach Blossom Island by the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master more than ten years ago, and Aunt Ying went to Peach Blossom Island to rescue Zhou Botong. But Peach Blossom Island was cleverly arranged, and Aunt Ying did not know the five elements, so she was trapped for three days and three nights, and almost starved to death. Later, Huang Yaoshi sent a dumb servant to send Yinggu out of the island.

After Aunt Ying left the island, she began to study the Five Elements Qimen and the Nine Palaces Bagua Technique, and today she found that she had been studying hard for more than ten years but was not as good as a little girl, and she was immediately disheartened - at such a level, how could she go to Peach Blossom Island to rescue Zhou Botong?

After listening to Aunt Ying's story, Yan Shu suddenly remembered Xiang Yan, and tears flowed down in an instant. This Aunt Ying still knows where her father-in-law is, but she doesn't even know where her father-in-law is.

Yan Shu choked up and said: "Senior, the junior also has some understanding of the Five Elements Qimen and the Nine Palaces Gossip Technique, or the junior will accompany the senior to Peach Blossom Island to see if he can rescue the senior." ”
