Ye Haotian and Lan'er bid farewell to Wuyang and walked towards the fourth level, which is the last pass that must be broken through to enter Kunlun Mountain from the east gate. The remaining three levels are not required. So this level should be difficult to a certain extent, but I don't know what I will test.

The two of them walked all the way up the stone steps, and only walked a few hundred zhang before they came to the fourth level. As far as the eye could see, an open vermilion gate appeared at the fortress of the mountain trail.

An old man stood in front of the door neatly dressed, smiling as he watched the two gradually approach, and took the lead in speaking more than ten zhang away: "Old man Wu Xu, welcome the two of you here, as long as you pass this level, you can live in Kunlun Divine Mountain forever!"

Ye Haotian followed Lan'er closer, gave a deep salute, and said loudly: "The younger generation has seen the immortal elder. Today is really happy, and I have met several erudite and talented seniors in a row, which is really beneficial. ”

Wu Lu smiled: "Many people are afraid to see us, only you seem to really like us." But it's not necessarily a good thing to meet me. This level is to test 'Zhu You', do you know what 'Zhu You' is?"

Ye Haotian thought back to the books he had read, and replied calmly: "The word 'Zhu You' was first seen in the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, which is a method of treating diseases by reciting mantras to transfer essence and change qi, which is somewhat similar to the spells of later generations. The pronunciation of "Zhu You" is "mantra". ”

Wu Shu nodded and said, "You're generally right, but Zhu You can't just be used to heal. The low-level Zhuyou can achieve the purpose of healing by regulating the patient's essence, qi, and spirit, while the high-level Zhuyou can control the spirit and will of others, turning the recipient into a walking corpse. But I would say that the success of the wish depends on the cooperation of the sorcerer and the recipient, and in a way, it is a voluntary act of the recipient. The recipient is willingly controlled because he feels comfortable doing so. If the recipient is strong-willed, it will not be controlled. Therefore, this level examines the defects of the mind and morality, and if there are no defects, it will be easy to pass. As long as you survive the time of a stick of incense with my full force, you will pass the test. He paused slightly, then said, "Are you ready? You two don't have to be all participating, just one of you can pass." If you can't, don't force it, lest you be punished if you fail. ”

Lan'er looked at the old man's confident appearance, knowing that this level was not easy, and she hesitated in her heart, not knowing whether she should participate.

Ye Haotian smiled and said to the old man: "Immortal Chief, wait a while, and let us discuss, it will be fine soon." After speaking, he pulled Lan'er to a few zhang away, took out the psychic jade on her chest and hung it around her neck, and then instructed: "Close to the chest, you can prevent the demon from attacking." ”

Lan'er Danjue took Ye Haotian's body temperature Baoyu slowly slipped between her twin peaks, and a strange feeling arose in her heart, and she felt his tenderness and sweetness more and more clearly, and smiled sweetly at the moment, and said, "Gongzi Xie cares." ”

Then the two of them walked back to Wu Sho.

Ye Haotian said happily: "Immortal Chief, we are ready." I don't know if there is anything else to pay attention to, I hope you will tell me as well. ”

Wu Lu said: "Please come with me, we will talk as we go." As he spoke, he led the way inside.

Ye Haotian followed behind, and asked cordially as he walked, "Immortal Chief, I still don't know the rules. Is it true that the two of us are only allowed to hold hard and not fight back when you are performing the spell?"

Wu Lu glanced at him and said, "In the 'Zhuyou Hall', there are no swords, no punches, kicks, or swinging swords, but you can use protective magic weapons, and you can also fight back moderately, which is limited to the spiritual realm." I have to warn you: if the counterattack fails, the damage will be great!"

Ye Haotian grinned and said, "Immortal Chief, can we speak while you are performing the spell?"

Wu Lu saw that he was getting more and more relaxed, and he didn't know what his reason was, and he thought to himself: "I'll do my best as soon as I come up later, and I'll let him know how powerful it is!" Thinking like this, he couldn't help but laugh, and said in a soothing tone: "As long as there is no physical contact, you can do whatever you want." ”

While speaking, he came to a palace with the inscription "Zhu You Hall".

Ye Haotian followed Lan'er into the hall, and what he saw was a hall full of all kinds of talismans, not only was the ground covered with colorful pictures, but even the pillars and the roof did not leave a trace of blank space. The hall was empty with a few futons and two tables.

He walked around the hall and found that those patterns were all-encompassing, not only flowers, birds, fish, insects, rare birds and beasts, but also fierce gods and evil spirits, and ten halls of Yama. It seems that this level is not easy to pass.

At that moment, he didn't dare to be careless, so he took out a thick jade heart from the Qiankun bag and put it on the futon in the center of the hall, allowing Lan'er to sit on it. The jade heart he mined in Huashan was originally three feet thick, and he had cut and sold some of it before. In addition to this big guy that is one foot thick and three feet square, there are several small pieces that are two inches thick and one foot five inches square.

He gave Lan'er a large piece of jade heart, and he sat directly on the futon, wanting to experience the power of Zhu You and see what was the difference between Zhu You and the Qingcheng Sect Talisman and Maoshan Sect Talisman that he had learned before. Since he had worked the talismans, he was not very worried that he would be in danger.

Wu Lu looked at the thick, big emerald green and flawless jade heart that Lan'er was sitting underneath, and was so envious that his eyes were about to pop out, and he swallowed a lot of saliva after a while: "Young man, you are very good at caring and considerate of others! Beware that you can't pass the test!"

Ye Haotian sat up straight, "hehe" said with a smile: "The Buddha said, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', in order to make Lan'er happy, I am not afraid even if I go to hell." ”

Lan'er knew he was joking, but the words were just as touching.

She didn't speak, just quietly stared at her beloved, her eyes full of endless tenderness.

Wu Lu looked at the expression on her face, and had a bottom in her heart, and said secretly: "I can start with the love of the little girl, maybe I can easily defeat her!" It's just that she now has the protection of the jade heart, and her whole body is spotless, if you want to control her mind, I'm afraid it will take a little effort." ”

He turned his head to look at Ye Haotian again, and saw that his eyebrows were smiling, and his words were gentle, and he couldn't help but think secretly: "Lang Qing concubine, discipline you to throw yourself into the net!"

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, lit a stick of incense, and then looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, now start the timer." I'll write a few words first, and please guess what it is. As he spoke, he opened a brocade box on the table, slowly took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to be used from the box, and spread it flat on the table.

His movements are soothing and dignified, as if he were holding a pearl agate.

Ye Haotian looked at it and found that the barrel of the talisman pen was about five inches long, but the hairs in front of it were more than eight inches, which was very rare. The ink is not black either, but bright red and bright red, like blood spurting out of a severed head. The paper is not the commonly used paper made of bamboo and ramie, but glittering gold leaf. The inkstone is red throughout, and I don't know what material it is made of.

He knew in his heart that these were the keys for the other party to perform the blessing technique, and said without showing a look at the moment: "Immortal Chief, your pen is really peculiar, it doesn't use sheep's hair, right?"

Wu Sho's face was full of color when he heard this, and he laughed loudly: "This is a talisman pen that I spent five hundred years to make by collecting the hair of rare birds and beasts from all over the world, including the Lingli Niu Hao of the Qingkang Plateau, the Ling Yang Hao of the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Ling Wolf of the Kunlun Mountains, and the Ling Crane of the northern foot of Changbai Mountain...... The autumn Honghao in the bitter cold land of Mobei, the peacock Linghao at the southern foot of the Great Snow Mountain in Tiannan and other thirty-four hairs. When it comes to talisman pens, my pen ranks second among the pens of the gods of the heavenly realm, and it is only two millimeters worse than the Spring and Autumn Pen of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor. Hehe, the rest of the pens are under this pen!"

Ye Haotian recited silently twice in his heart, remembering the names of those hairs one by one. Although he doesn't know what the use of writing these down is, but it's not a bad thing to know more things, and God knows when he will be able to use them in the future?

At critical moments, he always grasped it very tightly, and immediately took the opportunity to ask: "What a pity! I don't know what two rare things are missing?"

Wu Lu sighed lightly while drawing the talisman: "Only the colorful feather on the head of the black swan and the golden velvet of the colorful phoenix under the queen mother's seat." Both of these are hard to come by. The Queen Mother promised me that as long as I stayed here for 10,000 years, she would give me two golden hairmesses. Now there are still 800 years left! If I find the black swan's color again, I ...... My wish can be made by the gods......" Thinking of this, he was excited, and with a shake of his hand, he actually drew the wrong rune in his pen, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and replaced it with a gold leaf to redraw.

Ye Haotian smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that he still had a kind of divine material that the other party wanted. At this time, he didn't want the other party to feel that he was suspected of bribing to pass the test, so he couldn't help but say it, changed the topic, and said: "The ink and inkstone used by the immortal chief are also different!

Wu Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said proudly: "It's rare for the little brother to know the treasure, and I don't want to hide it." These things are hard for you to find, as I said. The ink I use is made of bloodstone, cinnabar, cinnabar, ...... Eighteen kinds of pigments such as Shougong sand are mixed to make Mobao. The inkstone is made of the best purple vermilion spirit stone unique to Kunlun Mountain. Only this kind of ink with this kind of inkstone, when drawing the talisman, can it be waved to achieve the effect of shocking the world and crying ghosts!" At this time, he said that his eyebrows fluttered, and he talked endlessly, and when he looked down, he found that the talisman in the pen was drawn wrong, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and teared the wrong talisman with an embarrassed face, looked at Ye Haotian twice, and at the same time turned his head to look at the incense stick that had burned a large section, and said: "Strange! I have been drawing talismans for nearly 10,000 years, and there has never been such a thing! Little brother, have you started to fight back?"

Ye Haotian did not use the ** of soul searching, but only used the kung fu of "love, life, and communication" in the Confucian 'benevolence gong', and slowly communicated with the other party in a very cordial tone, trying his best to resolve the hostility in the other party's heart, so the phenomenon of the other party's qi slackening and forgetting to put pen to paper.

Wu Lu was obviously aware of this, and hurriedly collected his thoughts, kept silent, and wrote hard.

Ye Haotian also wanted to see how powerful the other party's Zhu You Divine Skill was, so he quietly watched him draw talismans and no longer interfered with him with words.

Wu Lu quickly drew a few talismans, put down his pen, and gently shook a spirit talisman in the air, and said in a calm and firm tone: "You take a closer look and try to see if you can identify what I wrote?"

Lan'er looked fixedly, but saw a flash of yellow light on the gold leaf, as if there was an aura coming straight to her own sea of marrow, and she didn't feel a moment of confusion, and when she was in a trance, the psychic jade on her chest and the jade heart under her body were cold at the same time, just like a person suffering from heat stroke suddenly drank ice water, and his mind suddenly sobered up. At this time, she knew the power of the other party's talisman, and hurriedly closed her eyes and hugged Yuan Shouyi, not daring to be careless.

Ye Haotian adhered to the Confucian golden mean in his heart, his whole body was full of righteousness, his soul, spirit, will, and five spirits were all sitting in his palace, and his limbs and hundreds of bones entered the state of qi through Changhong. He quietly watched as Wu Shoe displayed the runes, the yellow light like electricity but unable to penetrate his body.

Through the yellow light, he clearly saw that there was a big "Ming" character drawn on the gold leaf, and there was a small character in each of the moons, which were the two seal characters of "soul" and "spirit". This is a superior talisman that shocks people's hearts with light, and then seduces the soul while people's hearts are pounding.

Seeing that the two of them did not react, Wu Lu immediately shook another talisman and recited a strange spell in his mouth.

When Ye Haotian looked at it, he found that it was clearly the four big characters of "wind, rain, thunder, and lightning".

Sure enough, all of a sudden, I saw a strong wind, a torrential rain, thunder in my ears, and lightning flashing in front of my eyes. He vaguely saw that the roof of the palace had been blown away by the wind, and the rain was pouring down on his body like a scoop, and suddenly a lightning bolt struck a big hugging tree not far in front of him, and split the big tree in two, and the crown of the tree fell from the sky, and it seemed that it was about to fall on him. At this time, he didn't have the slightest intention of moving to dodge, but just wandered a stream of true qi between the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, the Twelve Righteous Meridians and the three hundred and sixty-five meridians, and there was only one belief in his heart: "Righteousness is stored in the body, and evil cannot be done." ”

Seeing that the two of them still didn't react, Wu Lu immediately changed another talisman, lit it and threw it into the talisman water that had been prepared for a long time, and at the same time kept chanting in his mouth, his voice was low, anxious and fast, and he didn't know what to read.

Ye Haotian had already seen the handwriting on the talisman at the moment when he burned the talisman, and this time the words "snake" and "worm" were written on the talisman, and he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart.

Turning his head to look around, the wind stopped raining at this time, the sky was still gloomy, and the ground was full of dirty flowing water, he and Lan'er were actually sitting on the wet ridges, countless earthworms and colorful poisonous snakes of different sizes gathered from all directions, which were also mixed with some centipedes, cockroaches and other small things that made people feel uncomfortable at first sight.

The snakes and insects gathered more and more, gradually approaching the two of them, and some had already climbed onto Ye Haotian's legs.

Lan'er only glanced at it and was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly again, her face turned pale, and her hands and feet trembled slightly. Luckily, the snake and insect seemed to be afraid of the cold jade beneath her, so they just crawled to a distance of about two feet and stopped.

However, the snakes and insects were not so polite to Ye Haotian, some climbed to his waist, some were entrenched around his neck, and some even earthworms wanted to get into his nostrils and ears. The body protector god on his body had no effect at all, and he couldn't stop the invasion of snakes and insects at all. He knew that these were not real, they were all illusions made by the witch shoes urging the spirit runes, but everything was so realistic. All he could do was ignore the infestation of snakes and insects and let them bury themselves.

Fortunately, Lan'er closed her eyes tightly at this time, otherwise she would definitely exclaim when she saw Ye Haotian buried among the snakes and insects.

After a while, Wu Shoe changed the spirit rune again. This time, he gently blew the talisman in the air, and by the time it fell, the spirit talisman had already turned into countless fragments, and each fragment had become a living person, busy around Ye Haotian and Lan'er.

Ye Haotian had clearly seen that the word "marriage" was drawn on the talisman at the moment when he blew the talisman. Then the scene changed, as if they had arrived at the carved mansion, and countless guests raised their glasses to congratulate. Many of those people were their friends, and they drank wine in a noisy, and then one of the officiants shouted, "The auspicious time has come, and the wedding begins." When I looked back, a bridesmaid walked in with Lan'er, who had a big red hijab on her head. The officiant shouted: "One worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other!" Although he knew that these were all fake, he did not want to break the dream, what he thought in his heart was such a beautiful day, what did it matter if he came twice?

Lan'er also witnessed all this, although her head was covered in a hijab, she still clearly knew that it was her beloved who worshipped with her, and she couldn't help but feel a sweet feeling in her heart. Then he was helped into the cave room, and sat quietly on the edge of the bed covered with silk and satin, waiting for his beloved to lift the hijab on his head. At this moment, she was already confused, and the little sanity left before had long since disappeared. Although there was still a cold feeling of Yuxin under her body, no matter how cold the ice was at this moment, it couldn't cool the flames in her heart.

"But why hasn't Childe come yet? What's wrong with Childe?" Just when she was feeling uneasy in her heart, suddenly there was a hot feeling from the Tongling Jade on her chest, and the burning sensation was simply unbearable, and when she paid attention to the Baoyu on her chest, she suddenly came to her senses again, opened her eyes, and found herself still sitting in the hall full of patterns. Ye Haotian beside him smiled stupidly, as if he was immersed in happiness. At this time, the incense stick had burned to the point of less than two inches.

Wu Lu saw that Lan'er's face was slightly red, her breathing was uneven, and she was secretly complacent, when she suddenly saw her open her eyes and look at herself, refreshed and calm, where was she still a little confused?

At that moment, Wu Zhi didn't dare to hesitate, and another rune flew out, and bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of blood on the spirit rune.

The spirit rune spun rapidly in the air, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an evil eagle hovering in the air.

Ye Haotian was still immersed in the sweet night of flowers and candles in the cave room. His heart was extremely comfortable, and his mind was a little trance, but it was still far from the point of losing his mind, and he went with the mentality of appreciating the body taste, so he was not completely confused.

When he was admiring the delicate flowers of Lan'er who lifted his hijab, suddenly an evil eagle flew in the sky and swooped towards the beautiful Lan'er like lightning.

Lan'er was caught off guard, and was grabbed by the evil eagle on her jade-like face, not only was she grabbed a large piece of flesh, but even one eye was destroyed, and she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, shocked and bitter, and in pain!

Ye Haotian's heart was like a knife, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and as soon as he mentioned his true qi, he was about to take off into the air and chase after the evil eagle.

At this moment, a very clear voice suddenly came from my ears: "Duh! color is emptiness, emptiness is color, everything is empty, and turning back is the shore!" The voice was somewhat similar to that of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

The sound entered his ears, Ye Haotian was taken aback, but he felt cold all over, sweating like rain, and immediately took out the Buddha chime from the Qiankun bag and hit it hard!

The crisp voice was deafening and deafening, and the haze was swept away in an instant, and the clouds dissipated! When I opened my eyes and looked, my beloved Lan'er was still sitting beside me in a good manner.

The moment the Buddha chime sounded, Wu Xu's heart was so badly injured that he couldn't lift it in one breath, and he spit out blood with a "wow", and he couldn't do anything to urge the spirit rune anymore, so he could only look at Ye Haotian dumbfounded.

Ye Haotian's heart was first annoyed, feeling that Wu Lu should not bully his beloved Lan'er, and then he was ashamed, understanding that he could not blame the other party for this matter, but only himself, it was purely his own carelessness that he almost failed.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and said very apologetically: "Immortal Chief, I was defeated, please forgive me for my momentary gaffe." I'm going to go back to the customs, how do you think I should punish him?"

Wu Lu rotated a breath of true qi between his chest and abdomen for a few times, and after a while, he came to his senses and sighed, "Young man, you have already passed the level. Not only did it pass the level, but it was also the most beautiful in thousands of years. Not only are you profound, but you are also proficient in the art of war. It's really hard for you to be able to keep such an artifact until the end! If you use the artifact from the beginning, it's hard to say who will kill the deer. You shot when I was using all my strength, couldn't attack for a long time, and my qi was exhausted, and you won with just a light knock, which is very rare!"

Ye Haotian was extremely ashamed in his heart, and he couldn't tell the reason, so he had to stand there dumbfounded and speechless. When Wu Shu took out two "Lotus Pills" from the brocade box and handed them over, he refused to accept anything. just said: "I can't accept it, I'm ashamed to pass the test, and giving the elixir can only make me embarrassed!"

Wu Lu looked at him strangely and said: "You kid, 'Bi Lotus Pill' is a rare elixir, you can increase your strength for 120 years after taking it, why don't you accept it? Shame, ashamed of a ghost? There are a few people who come to pass the test, among so many people, I see you as the most pleasing to the eye, if you don't accept it, I will throw the elixir and feed it to 'Qin Yuan'." ”

Ye Haotian couldn't push it, so he had to take it, and at the same time took out two black swan colored feathers and a two-inch thick, one-foot-and-a-half-square jade heart from the Qiankun bag, and said to Wu Xu: "The younger generation has no respect, only a thin courtesy and a slight heart." ”

Wu Lu saw that what he was holding in his hand turned out to be what he dreamed of, and he couldn't help but tremble with his hands, wanting to take it but not daring to take it, and stammered: "This ...... No way...... Bribery...... Tenjo ......"

Ye Haotian understood the rules of the Heavenly Realm, and immediately smiled: "Seniors can exchange other things with me, so we will be trading instead of bribery." ”

Relieved to hear this, Wu Lu walked around the temple twice, trying to find a suitable thing to exchange, and after a moment he said, "Wait for me in a moment, I'll come when I go!" and turned and walked out.

After a short time, he walked back again, holding a box wrapped in red cloth in his hand, and handed it to Ye Haotiandao: "This is a talisman pen, which is the same pair as the one I used just now, and now I will use it to exchange for your Cailing and Jade Heart." ”

Ye Haotian was very surprised: "This, this is not good, the two colored feathers and the jade heart are not worth much, you are too valuable!"

Wu Lu stopped him and said: "I am a talent who cherishes you, with the talent of my little brother, if the time comes, I must be a well-known figure in the heavenly realm, maybe we will rely on you to carry it forward!

Ye Haotian heard him say it kindly, so he had to thank him and put away the talisman pen.

When he walked out of the fourth level, he was covered in cold sweat, and he secretly blamed himself in his heart: "I almost couldn't pass this level, and the reason is because I was not cautious enough." There are still a few jade hearts in the Qiankun Tips, and if I can take out one earlier and sit on it, I can easily pass the level, but I resolutely don't use it in order to experience the power of "Zhu You". In particular, he knew that the scene of the candles in the cave room was fake, but he was too big and lingered, and as a result, he was in danger and could not extricate himself. Fortunately, thanks to the reminder of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, he barely passed the test. But how could the Bodhisattva of the Earth King know that I am in trouble? Could it be that his old man has a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, and his magic power is boundless, omniscient, and omniscient? Or is there some miraculous power of the Buddha chime I carry?"

Thinking of this, he pulled Lan'er beside him and said, "Rest for a while and then leave, I want to be quiet." As he spoke, he sat down on a protruding rock on the side of the road, and laughed at himself: "I was so drunk just now that I almost lost it!"

Lan'er walked across from him, picked a smooth stone and sat down, and said with a smile: "Childe looked so good-looking just now, he smiled stupidly, like a boy in the village, what were you laughing at at that time?" As he spoke, he took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and stroked it gently.

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "I dream of marrying a daughter-in-law." I saw my beloved Lan'er uncovering her hijab, beautiful as a fairy, and her saliva flowed for a while, so I gave the other party a chance. ”

Lan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Aren't you watching it every day?"

Ye Haotian recalled the scene he had seen before and said, "There is a difference between reality and dreams. The scene in the dream is very charming, the lights of the cave room are constantly changing, giving people a hazy feeling, everything is so fresh and full of passion. ”

Lan'er remembered that she had almost lost her mind when she was hit by a deer in her heart, and sighed: "Mr. Wu's 'Zhuyou Divine Skill' is really powerful, as long as the heart of the person who breaks through the level has a little fluctuation, he will be defeated in one fell swoop." The level just now was not easy, no wonder the success rate of those who broke through the level was less than a quarter. ”

"Yes!" Ye Haotian echoed as he took out the Buddha chime and held it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully.

He first looked over and over in the sun, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find anything. Then he released his divine sense and continued to check, but after looking around, he still found nothing. In the end, he sat cross-legged and reached the realm of concentration, a Buddha light from the center of the eyebrows sprinkled on the Buddha chime, only to find that the shadow of the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth appeared on the chime, and there were a few lines of words next to it: "The heart is the Buddha, the Buddha is born from the heart, the Buddha's light shines, and the chime purifies the heart." ”

When he saw these words, he suddenly understood: "No wonder when Jin Qiaojue went to Jiuhua Mountain to open up a pure land, Jizo Bodhisattva would give him a Buddha chime, and it turned out that there was an image of the Bodhisattva imprinted on the chime with supreme power, and the image was the incarnation of the Bodhisattva! It is precisely because of this that the Buddha chime can produce a sound of music that purifies the mind and is deaf and awake, otherwise how can a master like Shaokang be crossed? The existence of the image not only makes the chime sound become the sound of the Buddha, but also enables the disciples who hold the chime to hear the Bodhisattva's teachings when they are in danger. Therefore, the Buddha chime is not only a musical instrument, but also a master who accompanies him for a long time. ”

He opened his eyes and looked down at the Buddha chime in his hand, and sighed for a moment. He had fully understood Jin Qiaojue's intention of transferring the Buddha Chime to himself. The epiphany of the Flesh Treasure Hall gave him the outline of a Buddhist monk, but the outline was not clear, the foundation of Buddhism was not solid enough, and he could fall at any time as a new star of Buddhism. With the guidance of the Buddha at any time, his path to the Buddha can be smoother, and it can also make a genius like him closer to the Buddha.

Knowing this, he admired the Jizo King Bodhisattva.

Jizo King Bodhisattva is worthy of being one of the four great disciples of the Buddha, with profound Buddha skills and boundless mana. It is estimated that his ranking on the immortal list has entered the top thirty.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Lan'er exclaim: "Childe, come and see!"

When he looked up, he found that Lan'er was staring closely at the jade bracelet in his hand, so he quickly leaned over.

Lan'er handed him the jade bracelet and said, "Look at that figure, it's getting clearer and clearer!"

Ye Haotian looked intently and found that the green color of the jade bracelet had faded a lot, but the shadow of the woman in the jade had become very clear, and she could clearly see her long eyelashes and smiling expression, as if she had already understood everything around her, but she was just closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.

Ye Haotian has no experience, and he doesn't know how many days it will take to see her break out of the jade, so he can only give the jade bracelet to Lan'er and put it back on her wrist, and tell her to take care of it and not to damage it in the slightest.

Lan'er looked at the mountains one after another in front of her and asked, "Childe, do you think we should give the jade bracelet to the Queen Mother?"

Ye Haotian groaned: "If you want to hand it over, you can only hand it over to the Queen Mother herself." At this time, evil is rampant, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, and if you make a mistake, you will regret it. ”

Lan'er nodded yes, and said with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Childe, it's up to you for the next three levels." I'm just a little girl watching the play, and I can't do big things. ”

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "I am really blessed, even the maidservants around me are the county lords of the dynasty who have reached the realm of gods and men." Let's go, let's go and see what's in store for the next level. ”

From the fourth level to the fifth level, there are about five or six miles of mountain roads. For fear of being attacked by the "Qin Yuan", the two did not dare to take off and could only slowly ascend along the rugged mountain road.

Fortunately, the surrounding scenery is not bad, so the two do not feel lonely.

After walking for a while, I finally came to the fifth level.

From a distance, the door, which is several feet high, is tightly closed, but a small door is open in the lower left corner of the gate.

When he got closer, Ye Haotian found a notice on the gate: "Welcome to the customs!" You have passed the four levels, you can directly enter the Kunlun Wonderland from the small gate, or you can choose to break through." Those who succeed in breaking through the level will be rewarded very richly, in addition to the white orange pill that can increase their strength for two hundred and forty years, there is also a bronze medal, and they can enjoy the tax exemption treatment of transactions in Kunlun Mountain!"

Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh twice, and said in his heart: "I even have a waist card that passes through the world without paying taxes!

Then I looked down, and there were a few lines of words behind it: "This level is an arithmetic test." If you want to break through the level, you must first solve a problem: 'There is a wall five feet thick today, and two rats wear through each other.' At first, both rats and mice can penetrate a foot. In the future, rats will double every day, and mice will be halved every day. How many feet do the two rats wear when they meet?' Those who consciously answer correctly can knock on the door knocker three times, and the old man Wu Fan is looking forward to it. ”

Lan'er laughed out loud and said, "This question my father once tested me, it seems that there is something in some ancient book." ”

Ye Haotian nodded and said: "This is the title in the "Zhou Ji Sutra", which was available as early as the Western Han Dynasty. ”

Lan'er sighed "um" and sighed: "The last item in the six arts of Confucianism is 'number', but unfortunately I only know a little bit of skin. According to my father, Confucianism has a very high level of arithmetic, I wonder if it's true?"

Ye Haotian replied proudly: "Confucianism has always attached importance to 'numbers', and ten arithmetic works have appeared in the Han and Tang dynasties for more than a thousand years. In the Tang Dynasty, an arithmetic hall was set up in the Guozi Prison, where doctors and teaching assistants were placed to guide students in arithmetic, and the ten books of arithmetic were prescribed as textbooks. As he spoke, he knocked three times on the knocker in his hand, and the sound of "Bang Bang" came far away.

The time was short, the heavy door slowly opened, and an old master with a thin figure and a gray face appeared, with a serious face and no smile. Seeing that there were only two young people standing in front of him, he was a little surprised at first, and then beckoned, "Please come in, old man Wu Fan." No one has been here for more than ten years, and the gates are rusty. He turned and walked inside.

Ye Haotian and Lan'er then entered and followed him to a large study. When I entered the room, I saw that the room was full of models and computers of various shapes, and there were many pieces of paper with schemas written on the floor. It seems that the old master has invested too much energy in arithmetic, so he will lack qi and blood, and his face will be dull.

The old master beckoned them to sit down, and said lightly: "This level has to test arithmetic, I will tell you a story first, and then there will be questions for you." ”

Ye Haotian sat up straight and said, "The juniors are listening. ”

Lan'er smiled: "Okay, I like to listen to stories the most." ”

The old master glanced at her, felt the warmth of spring from her flower-like smile, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he spoke: "It is said that back then, Han Xin won a hundred battles in the battle between Chu and Han, and made immortal contributions to the unification of the world by the Han Dynasty.

One day, Liu Bang invited Han Xin to a banquet. When he was drunk, Liu Bang asked straightforwardly, "How many soldiers are there under Qing?"

Han Xin replied: "Your Majesty, I don't know the number of soldiers, two of the three or three counts, three of the five or five counts, and two of the seven or seven numbers. ’

Liu Bang woke up a little, originally according to Zhang Liang's plan, this time he wanted to take the opportunity to arrest Han Xin. Now that Han Xin is here, as long as he gives an order, the soldiers in ambush can do it. But I don't know how many soldiers Han Xin has? Will it cause chaos?

Do it, don't do it? It's really a matter of hesitation.

Now I asked while I was drunk, but I was still confused.

How many soldiers are there? Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang with an inquiring face.

Zhang Liang was nervously calculating in his heart, his face full of confusion. When he came into contact with the emperor's gaze, he immediately replied in a low voice and with trepidation: 'The number of soldiers cannot be counted, it cannot be counted!' This person who is famous for his 'art of planning' and who is known as 'strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away' actually replied in the same way!

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was taken aback, and all of a sudden the wine turned into cold sweat, and he didn't dare to take the opportunity to take Han Xin anymore. This is the story of 'Han Shin's soldiers'. ”

When the old master said this, he looked at the two of them and said, "The answer to this question is not difficult to know, you just need to count them one by one from one to one hundred, and you will soon find the answer." But that's just knowing it, but not knowing why. The question I want to ask is: How can I solve this problem by calculus?"

Lan'er shook her head and smiled: "I only know that twenty-three is a suitable number, but I don't understand how to calculate it." I'm just Childe's entourage, so I'd better ask him to answer such a complicated question. ”

Ye Haotian had never thought about the calculation method of this question, and he couldn't answer it for a while, just looked up at the roof and was distracted.

The old master waited for a while and said, "I can give you ten days to think about this matter. Someone of the two of you must answer, otherwise not only will the elixir of the previous levels be withdrawn, but they will also be punished. With that, he turned around and squatted on the ground and fiddled with the large and small stone balls.

Lan'er looked at Ye Haotian quietly, not worried that he wouldn't be able to solve it.

Since she met Ye Haotian, she rarely saw Ye Haotian's sad face, and she simply thought that he was omnipotent.

Besides, even if you fail to break through, it's nothing, and it's just a trivial matter to punish two hundred years of skill. The only thing to worry about is not knowing if the experience of failure will have a negative effect on future practice.

Ye Haotian closed his eyes and meditated. After about a cup of tea, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I have thought of a way, I don't know if it's right." ”

When the old master heard this, he put down the stone ball in his hand and turned to listen to his explanation.

Ye Haotian said: "Let's first seek the answer of 'three numbers are left, five numbers are not left, and seven numbers are not left', and we can find the number of 'three numbers left one' from the multiples of thirty-five, for example, seventy is a solution." Then ask for the answer of 'there is no three numbers left, five numbers are left one, and seven numbers are not left', in the multiples of twenty-one, twenty-one itself is a solution. In addition, ask for the answer of 'there are no three numbers left, five numbers are not left, and seven numbers are left one'. In multiples of fifteen, fifteen itself fits into 'one of seven'. The numbers seventy, twenty-one, and fifteen are the key to answering this question. Multiply these three numbers by the remaining numbers and add them together to get two hundred and thirty-three, which is a solution to the original question. In addition, multiply three by five and then multiply seven to get one hundred and five, and add and subtract a multiple of one hundred and five from two hundred and thirty-three to get all the answers. ”

After listening to Ye Haotian's explanation, the old master finally had a smile on his face, and applauded: "Okay! It took me eight hundred years to answer this question, and I didn't expect you to finish it in just a moment, which is really amazing! From now on, we will have another genius in the arithmetic world!"

Ye Haotian bowed down and said: "The younger generation got it by luck, you are too old!"

The old master said, "Congratulations on passing another level! I hope you can break through seven levels in a row." As he spoke, he handed Ye Haotian a small box wrapped in red cloth, and said, "There is a white orange pill in it, and a bronze medal that can be tax-exempt in local transactions." These are all prizes provided by the Queen Mother, take it!"

Ye Haotian took the box and handed it to Lan'er, asking her to feel the joy of winning the prize.

Lan'er looked at the box with joy, then looked up at him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the son!"

When the two of them stood up and were about to leave, Ye Haotian saw several large and small stone balls behind the old master, as well as the paper full of equations thrown on the ground, and knew that he was obviously calculating an extremely complicated problem, which made him spend a lot of effort, and even his body was about to collapse.

Ye Haotian was very curious, and didn't know what the problem was, so he asked, "What is the Immortal Chief doing with those stone balls? Are you solving any difficult problems? I wonder if the juniors can help?"

The old master smiled bitterly: "I am thinking about a very complicated problem, I have been thinking about it for 5,000 years, and I have not found a solution. ”

Ye Haotian listened and wanted to know even more about what the problem was, and then said, "Please tell the Immortal Chief to come and hear it." ”

The old master shook his head and said: "This is one of the three major problems that the Heavenly Realm has been bounty for many years, whoever can answer it will receive nine kinds of elixirs, including the 'Taishang Divine Pill', which can not only suddenly increase the power of five thousand years, but also get the token of passage through the Three Qing Realm and all walks of life of gods and ghosts, and then go wherever they want, and they will not be hindered again." ”

Ye Haotian was taken aback: "What problem is worth spending so much money on by the Heavenly Realm?"

The old master vigorously sold Guanzi: "The solution of this problem is very important for the management of the Heavenly Realm, so the Heavenly Court will seek a solution at any cost. As long as there is a correct solution to the problem, it does not require a specific answer. ”

Ye Haotian was itchy when he heard it, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "You should say it, let's see what the problem is!"

The old master saw that he was in a hurry, and said with a slight smile: "What Pangu opened the sky is a spherical universe with a diameter of 100 million light years, and the problem now is that no one knows how many planets there are in the universe. Not to mention precise numbers, not even a general concept. Even the Buddha with boundless mana could only see what was within a hundred light years of his surroundings, and he couldn't do anything no matter how far he went. If Heavenly Court wants to better manage the universe, it must know how many planets there are within this 100 million light years, and then it can reasonably divide the counties, appoint clergy, and allocate various materials. ”

Ye Haotian frowned when he heard this. This is a difficult question to answer. If you use the tortoise mirror to calculate, it may be completed, but that doesn't mean that you have found a way to solve the problem, and you don't know how much lapis lazuli will cost, let alone how many years it will take. If you don't have a tortoise mirror, how do you calculate it?

He thought about it for a long time but was still at a loss, and felt that he couldn't solve the problem in a short time, so he had to get up and say goodbye very sorry, and leave the problem for later and think about it slowly.
