"Little brother with a clear heart, you should know, ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches, right?" Zhou Lao Ci looked at Huang Xinqing with kind eyes and gentle eyes and asked,

"This is nature, the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches are first and foremost the method of timekeeping created by the ancestors of mankind. Huang Xinqing then told the common sense he knew:

Ten Heavenly Stems: A (Yang), B (Yin), C (Yang), Ding (Yin), E (Yang), Ji (Yin), Geng (Yang), Xin (Yin), Non (Yang), Dec (Yin)

The 12 earthly branches: Zi (Yang), Chou (Yin), Yin (Yang), Mao (Yin), Chen (Yang), Si (Yin), Wu (Yang), Wei (Yin), Shen (Yang), You (Yin), 戌 (Yang), Hai (Yin)

Among them, the "A" of the first of the ten heavenly stems and the first "son" of the twelve earthly branches are the year of Jiazi, and it is also the first year of the sixty Jiazi.

Since the heavenly stem is less (ten) and the earthly branch is more (twelve), when the two are gradualized one by one, it takes 60 years as a cycle to return to the Jiazi year, such as the first year of Jiazi, the tenth year of Kuiyou, the eleventh year of Jiawu, the twelfth year of Yihai, and the thirteenth year of Bingzi ~~ until the sixtieth year of Kuihai completes a cycle, and the sixty-first year returns to the year of Jiazi.

"Not bad, not bad!" Zhou Lao nodded and continued: "You and I cultivators also know that there is a saying that every year in the past sixty years, there has been a god on duty, also known as "Tai Sui", "Tai Sui" is like a minister who holds the holy decree in his hand, usually hidden among the sixty gods to perform their duties, once on duty, they will order hundreds of officials according to the holy decree, and dare not disobey. ”

"Those lowest-powered rivers and lakes on weekdays also know that they touch the temper of Tai Sui on duty to avoid evil, although the immortals often have an eye-opening taboo to touch Fan Tai Sui, and they are punished for angering Tai Sui, but Tai Sui is a god after all, and he is mainly blessed and helping others. Zhou Lao continued to patiently talk about the most basic knowledge left by the ancestors that every Chinese son and daughter should master.

。。。

"What I want to say next is that this world is absolutely unknown to the eternal top secret, this secret is passed down from generation to generation only one person, out of my mouth, into your ears, if you leak the secret of heaven will be killed, are you ready?" I saw that Zhou Lao's clothes suddenly floated without wind, and a cold murderous aura instantly dispersed all the fire in the room, and he stared at Huang Xinqing with a solemn expression and asked.

"I don't listen, I don't want to know, Zhou Lao, please don't tell me. Although the pressure was huge in an instant, Huang Xinqing didn't feel it, and hurriedly replied in fear of avoiding it. Psychologically, he thought, "What's funny? Why don't I know the secret of only one person from generation to generation, and if one is not good, it will lead to murder." ”

"???! you can't listen to it. Zhou Lao didn't expect to come out like this, and he was stunned for a moment, like a deflated ball, and his murderous aura dissipated.

"Why? The first time I heard that there was still forcing others to listen to the secret, and then after listening to the secret, the younger generation was grateful to Zhou Lao for looking up to me, but I really had no interest in spying on the heavens, and I didn't keep the door since I was a child, and I was afraid of dying too early. Huang Xinqing thought that as Zhou Lao, he would never kill himself in anger, and then put on a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, I see what you can do.

"Hmph, it's destined to be you, then you can't run, if I say that this matter has a lot to do with the holy witch, do you still want to know? Oh, what's the witch's name? Let the old man think about it... By the way, it seems to be called Qi?" Zhou Lao came to his senses, and immediately began to speak half-swallowing, half-spitting, pretending to be crazy and stupid.

"Qiqi, Qingxuan?" Huang Xinqing was shocked when he heard this!

"Oh, yes, yes, my memory is not very good when I'm older, it seems to be called Qiqi. Zhou Lao's expression seemed to suddenly remember and replied.

"Qiqi is really a person of the Demon Dao?!Since you know, why don't you kill it, and allow it to move around at will under the rule of the Yellow Emperor, the imperial capital?" Huang Xinqing asked suspiciously.

"Don't tell you! hehe" Zhou Lao immediately laughed at Huang Xinqing, thinking psychologically: "Lao Tzu has become an immortal after living for a thousand years, and if you can't get a child, then Lao Tzu will be called a saint in vain." ”

。。。

"That's it, let's ask Zhou Lao to tell the so-called top secret that has been passed down from generation to generation, but if it has nothing to do with the second daughter, I will definitely not pay attention to it. Huang Xinqing hesitated for a moment, and immediately made up his mind when he thought that it was related to the eldest lady, of course, there was also a little unclear causal influence mixed with that Qiqi.

"Oh, I don't really want to say it. Zhou Lao continued to joke about the world, but he had no grace, as if he was also a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

。。。

"Oh, Old Zhou, just say~~ Why don't you wait for Xinqing to have a fairy spirit herb to refine a six-grade pill for you as a thank you?" Huang Xinqing's face twitched, and he put on a flattering look, and began to play the routine with the elixir.

"Oops! I have the same elixir here as jelly beans, and I eat it openly. If you can practice the seven grades, I may be able to tell you a thing or two. Zhou Lao immediately made it difficult and continued to smile.

。。。

"Damn, this old thing, close the door and let the ancestor go!" Huang Xinqing thought to himself, and immediately summoned the ancestor.

"Duh, you kid is so rampant that he compares the old man to a dog?" The voice of the ancestor came immediately, and Huang Xinqing was almost distracted.

"Xinqing was speechless for a while, the ancestor helped me, the old man in front of me yin me. Immediately, the cause and effect quickly reported to the ancestor, because the two of them communicated with the spirit, so the content was conveyed between the three breaths.

"It seems that there is something in the astrological lineage, and I thought it was all a bunch of bastards who could only tell fortunes and make money, but I think their top secret is very close to what I realized back then. Old Ancestor pondered for a while and began to mutter to himself.

"Then Ancestor, if you look at this secret, I won't listen to it, and you will tell me?" Huang Xinqing suddenly found the straw, how to save trouble and how to come.

"Ancestor, I don't know their secrets, I'm talking about proximity, but it should be two different things. As for what top secret has to do with Qing Xuan and Qiqi, it's even more unclear. Old Ancestor immediately reacted and replied.

"Then Ancestor, look, I can practice the Seven Rank Pill under your guidance?" Huang Xinqing hurriedly went straight to the point, and when he didn't talk well with the old man, he recalled and asked questions, but he had learned just now.

"Before Yuanying, there was absolutely no way! What are you being a seven-grade elixir? The six-grade is not something you can practice now, and you don't know how thick the sky is. The Ancestor then struck.

。。。

"Elder Zhou, the seven grades are okay, but I will not be able to refine them for you until I reach the Yuan Infant Stage. Huang Xinqing didn't care about the ancestors' ridicule, and negotiated directly with Zhou Lao.

"Oh, I'll do the math. Zhou Lao saw that Huang Xinqing stood stupidly for a while, and then the answer he gave did not seem to be lying, knowing that there were countless secrets on this son, he immediately began to pinch his fingers and calculate.

"Well, it's okay, what I'm going to entrust you to do also needs you to be able to achieve after the Yuan Infant Period, it's just three years, you only have three years, if you can't reach the Yuan Infant Period, I will personally kill you and take back the secret. Are you willing to take this risk?" After Zhou Lao finished the calculation, he put forward a new request with a smile.

"I still have this kind of play? It is rumored that even if the bloodline is different and the genius is thirty or forty years old, it may not be able to achieve it. That's it, Lao Tzu, I am crossing, and I have the aura of the protagonist. Huang Xinqing made a decision after pondering in his heart.

"In this case, then ask Zhou Lao to decrypt it!"

"Okay! ”
