Hearing this, I realized that Feng Junzi wanted to use the Shiji Hotel to open a teahouse, not for him to open it, but for Liu Yiyi to open it, so that she would have a place to hide in Wucheng and an identity to stand on. Sister Ziying turned her face to look at me: "It turned out to be for Liu Yiyi, of course I have no opinion." This shop is Ishino's, as long as Ishino nods. ”

Of course, I nodded, admiring in my heart that the gentleman Feng thought thoughtfully. Seeing me nodding, the wind gentleman said to Sister Ziying, "Then I have a request for you now." ”

Sister Ziying: "What do you ask you to say?" ”

Feng Junzi asked a little embarrassed, "Do you have any money in your hand?"

Sister Ziying smiled again: "Although the money is not much, I have saved some over the years, it depends on what you are for." If you want to borrow money from me, you have to ask Ishino to agree. ”

Wind Gentleman: "I don't borrow money from you, I just want you to spend money." Can you close this restaurant first? Closed for renovation and renovation, and turned into a tea room. There is no need to keep the back kitchen, anyway, Liu Yiyi does not eat fireworks in the world. This shop is not big or small, I think it is re-separated from the middle, even if it is enough to put four eight-immortal tables in front of Liu Yiyi's living room, it is also a tea room. I don't quite understand the arrangement of these according to the ancient method, you should understand that you can handle it well?

Sister Ziying: "I don't have an opinion if the boss still writes Shi Ye's name." But Liu Yiyi doesn't need to live here, she can move in with me and Ah Xiu. ”

Wind Gentleman: "Then leave a place to rest." This place is close to the school. Ishino and I might also come for a tea break. Also, there is no need to invite too many people to disturb the tea here, it must be sold the most expensive in the city, and there is no need for a few customers to come to the door. ”

Sister Ziying: "Listen to you." So what's the name of this tea room?"

Wind Gentleman: "It's called the Green Snow Tea Room." ”

Sister Ziying looked Feng Junzi up and down, as if she wanted to see something, and sighed: "So your heart is like this." ”

......

The Wind Gentleman always uses his supernatural powers to perform Taoism, and he often uses the power of others to do things. For example, in this teahouse, he just said something to me and Sister Ziying, and it was done. There is nothing left for him, Sister Ziying promised to close the business in a few days, and she is also responsible for the decoration and decoration of the "Green Snow Tea Room".

After discussing the matter of opening the tearoom, the Wind Gentleman came to Zhaoting Mountain with me that night. The mountains at the turn of autumn and winter. The night is very quiet, there is not even a trace of wind, only the moon quietly shining on the undulating curves of the peaks. The noisy tourists during the day have long since left, and the gates of the Jingshan Temple are closed, and there is no one in the tourist shops. Stand outside the mountain temple. I could only smell the scent of sandalwood wafting in the air.

Instead of entering the mountain temple, we sat down cross-legged in the peach forest. The Wind Gentleman asked me, "Do you know where the people went after they fell into the delirium?"

"I didn't go anywhere after I went into the delirium. Man is still in the same place, but his mind is left in the realm of delusion. ”

Wind Gentleman: "That's right, Liu Yiyi is actually still in the statue of the mountain god." You're going to get her out there. ”

"How do you pick her up?"

Wind Gentleman: "You have broken your delusion. Now it's time to relapse into delusion. You have to remember that this delusion is the most exquisite. Later, you will go out and grab her hand among the statues of the mountain gods. Hold your hand and go into the delusional realm, and you will see her. Bring her to me in the midst of delusion, and you will destroy her together. After breaking the delusion, you put the Lock Spirit Ring on her hand, and she can walk out of this Zhaoting Mountain. Her yin god is parasitic in the mountain god statue, and the clay sculpture of the mountain god can't stop your yin god. You can grab her hand, you can go—"

It turned out to be so simple, but the gentleman didn't tell me a long time ago. After hearing this, I suddenly remembered another question that I had been thinking about for many days: how to enter other people's dreams? It seems that the method of turning dreams into dreams is probably similar to this way! Not to mention how I think, I just followed the instructions of the Wind Gentleman and sat down in the middle yin god to travel and walk into the mountain temple.

The painted idol of the green snow still stands on the altar. But I saw that the earth was not a god idol, but Liu Yiyi, who became one with the idol. Liu Yiyi's expression was happy, as if she was being intoxicated with an illusory artistic conception and being frozen, which should be a portrayal of her mood at the moment when she fell into delusion. I walked up to the altar and gently grabbed one of her hands. Her hands were delicate and soft, but when I held them, my eyes felt dark.

After a moment of darkness, a soft moonlight appeared. The moonlight was sprinkled in front of him, and in the distance, the lights of Wucheng could be seen in the distance. Looking at the foot again, it turned out that I was standing on the famous Heavenly Stone of Zhaoting Mountain. The Wangtian Stone is not on the top of Zhaoting Mountain, but on a cliff not far from the top of the mountain. The rock juts out from the cliff and slanted upwards into the sky, and at the end of it there is a platform with a meter in circumference. The Heavenly Stone is like an arm sticking out of a cliff, and the platform is the palm of this hand.

I met Liu Yiyi, because she was snuggling in my arms at the moment. My right hand was reaching out from behind and wrapping around her soft waist. Her left hand was on the back of my right hand and her head was resting on my shoulder. Her body doesn't feel the temperature, everything is pure, even her complexion is pure and fair, without a trace of impurities. Now I heard her talking

"Brother, you come to accompany me every night to watch the moon and see Wucheng. The scenery on the Wangtian Stone is so good, and it feels even better in my brother's arms! If I could do this every day, I really hope I don't have to think about anything else. ”

It turned out that this was her delusional situation. I am ashamed that this delusion is so simple for her! I can't bear to break it. Thinking of this, I hugged her tighter with a slight force, lowered my head and said in her ear: "Yiyi, don't you want to be like those people in the city when you look at Wucheng every day?"

Yiyi: "Is it okay? If you can be there with my brother." Of course I do. ”

"Yes, of course. As long as you want, you can walk out of this Zhaoting Mountain and go to the world with me. ”

Yiyi: "Really? Yes, my brother never lied to me. What am I going to do?"

I pointed to the peach grove in the valley and said, "It's easy, fly with me." Go and meet the Wind Gentleman. See him and you'll have a way to get out of here. ”

The Yin God can fly into the sky, and he doesn't need the mana of the sword to fly in the sky, nor does he need Ziying's help. My hands were still wrapped around her delicate waist and took off into the peachwoods. When he landed, he didn't see the wind gentleman, but he saw someone writing a line on the ground with a branch: "Seeing the words like people, congratulations and breaking the delusion, you talk slowly, I still have something." ”

I was still sitting cross-legged on the ground. Liu Yiyi's voice came from the side of the delusional realm: "Brother, how has the moon changed?

When I heard Yiyi's words, I knew that she had also broken through her delusions. I stood up and looked at Yiyi beside me. He smiled and said, "Yiyi, do you know what delusion is?"

Liu Yiyi looked at the moon a little distracted: "I know." The Wind Gentleman told me to send me to the delirium, and brother, you will come and pick me up. It turns out that I have been in my own delusion these days, and it was the real you just now. I saw the moon change suddenly. I just understood. ”

I walked over and gently hugged her to my chest: "Yiyi, in fact, that's not a delusional situation. You like me to accompany you to see the moon, and I can accompany you often. ”

Liu Yiyi turned around in my arms, buried her face in my chest, and whispered, "Is it true that my brother just said that he could take me back to the world together?"

"Of course, it's true, wearing this ring, you can walk out of Zhaoting Mountain. I took out the Locking Spirit Ring, pulled her hand and put it on her, but there was a little accident. When the Wind Gentleman used chalcedony to refine the ring, it was finally formed on his left ring finger. So he wore it just right. But the Wind Gentleman forgot that his fingers were thicker than Liu Yiyi. The ring was too loose on Liu Yiyidi's ring finger, so I put the ring on her finger and tried it one by one. Yiyi looked at me, her eyes were full of surprise, and she didn't speak, just obediently stretched out both hands to me. Finally, I put the ring on her ground, and the big finger of her right hand was not too big or too small.

Liu Yiyi looked at her fingers and said happily: "Brother, thank you for giving me such a good thing." Hey, I feel my body when I put it on. Brother, do you know that although I used to condense my body, I always felt like it came and went, but now it's different! Brother, you are so good!"

"Actually, you can't thank me, this ring was prepared for you by the Wind Gentleman. ”

Liu Yiyi: "Didn't you just say that you were going to take me to see the Wind Gentleman?

"He's gone, there's a word on the ground, you see it yourself. ...... Do you know what he's doing?"

Liu Yiyi saw the words on the ground and smiled: "I know, I know that he went to find Sister Luxue, and he often went to her." ”

"Lu Xue, Yiyi, have you ever seen Lu Xue, do you know where to find her?" To be honest, I am also interested in this legendary Zhaoting Mountain God, and I also want to meet this person. Also, it's time for the wind gentleman to let Ah Xiu come out.

Yiyi: "Of course I've seen her, but you can't find her, the wind gentleman said that only he can enter the Divine Wood Forest in the world." And Sister Luxue doesn't like to see others very much. ”

So it turns out that the Wind Gentleman and Lu Xue are a weird and weird and mysterious god, and they are really a natural pair. Thinking that the Shenmu Forest where the green snow was located might be the same as the Zhengyi Demon Suppression Array, it could trap Ah Xiu, but it couldn't stop the Wind Gentleman. Now that the wind gentleman is gone, I will accompany her for a while, and Yiyi has not been with her for a long time. Yiyi asked me again, "Shall we fly back to the Heavenly Stone?"

"Fly? I'm not a yin god now, I can't fly up! Can you fly up?"

Yiyi: "I almost forgot that my brother is a real person, and his body is not so easy to fly." Of course I can fly, the wind gentleman taught me to condense my body with the way of ghost cultivation, and later used the three dreams ** to guide me to practice. The three dreams of the world** were originally the way of Yin God cultivation, and I am a Yin God. The Yin God is in the world like a person in a dream, and I can fly like you in a dream. ”

After hearing these words, it dawned on me that it was no wonder that Sister Ziying once sighed that the Tao of the Wind Gentleman was weird, it was indeed magical enough. Sister Ziying's flying wish that has not been fulfilled in five hundred years, and the Wind Gentleman easily let Liu Yiyi do it. I said, "Yiyina, you fly to show me, I haven't seen a fairy fly to the sky." ”

Liu Yiyi always responds to my needs. She made a flying stance, but instead of flying out, she lost her center of gravity and fell—even ghosts can wrestle, what's going on?" I quickly helped her up: "Yiyi, what's the matter? Are you alright?"

Liu Yiyi: "I don't know this ring." ”

As she spoke, she took off the ring, took it in her hand, and flew to the treetops on tiptoe. She spun around the treetops a few times, and her posture was incomparably graceful, like a fairy flying into the sky. She didn't fly far, only a few laps in the air, and then flew back into my arms like a milk swallow throwing into the forest. I caught her and asked, "Since the Yin God can't move the physical object, how did you take off the ring and hold it in your hand?"

Yiyi: "Didn't the Wind Gentleman teach his brother to turn into a dream? This is the Yin Transformation Realm, and the Yin God can control things." ”

Damn, I thought that the second dream of the three dreams ** was not taught to Liu Yiyi before the delusion, it turned out that he had already taught it, no wonder he asked me to ask Liu Yiyi what "Toshe" and "Dream" are. I asked, "Do you know how to do it and turn into dreams?"

Liu Yiyi: "Toshe doesn't know, of course I know! I'm the god of Zhaoting Mountain, this is the Immortal Dao Technique." ”

"Then you tell me how to get into other people's dreams?"

Liu Yiyi: "It's simple. How did you just get into my delusion?"

"I took your hand and used the method of delusion. Do you want me to hold someone's hand in my dreams?"

Liu Yiyi: "That's not true. If someone else is in a dream, you can use the method of delusion to enter his dream in the reality around him, and there is no need to hold his hand. But then you can only enter other people's dreams, but you can't turn dreams, and you can't really turn dreams. ”

"And how do you turn your dreams into dreams?"

Liu Yiyi: "Use the opening technique in his heart to show him the scene in your mind, and he will go to the dream you want." (Xu Gongzi's note: Please refer to the o25 chapter of this book for "his heart" and "open door".) )

"His open-mindedness? I won't do that? Will you?"

Liu Yiyi: "I will, but I can only use the body of the Yin God, and you can only use it in dreams." ”

"How can I do it in my dreams?"

Liu Yiyi: "You have learned to break delusion, and you have the magical power to open the door in your dreams." Other people's dreams are your delusional realm, and you can turn your mind in your delusional realm, show the scene in your mind, and others will enter the dream realm you want, which is the dream realm. ...... Brother, you should know how to say that to the gentleman of the wind. ”

Damn! The wind gentleman did this, Liu Yiyi said this, but he didn't say that to me. And he asked me to either understand it myself or ask Liu Yiyi. According to Liu Yiyi's instructions, it is actually not difficult, I can do it completely, but I didn't expect it.

"I see, thank you. ”

Yiyi: "I should thank my brother for being right, and now that I have this ring, I can leave here with my brother." When am I leaving?"

"Yiyi, I'm afraid it will take a few days for me to prepare a place for you...... By the way, will you open a teahouse?"

Yiyi: "Teahouse?" no, but it's okay, I can learn. ”

......

On this day, Yiyi and I chatted for a long time in the moonlight, and I didn't leave Zhaoting Mountain until it was almost dawn. This time, I couldn't fly back like the previous Yin God trip, so I had to walk back honestly.

The things of Zhiweilou don't need to be **heart**, and the things between the green snow and tea don't need to be **hearted. Feng Junzi almost ran three times a day to see how Sister Ziying's affairs were doing. Sister Ziying always smiled and persuaded him not to worry. Once I learned the method of turning dreams, I couldn't help but want to go to Teacher Liu's dream and say something to her. However, the day after Liu Yiyi came out of vain, an unexpected thing happened.

This incident reminded me of the existence of another world in my life, and if it had not been born, I would have almost forgotten it. This night before going to bed. I habitually glanced at the small electronic device that Director Gu had given me. Ever since I left the camp, I've had to look at it every day and put it away, but I've never received any messages. I just glanced at it, and then I was about to put it away, but suddenly I reacted and brought it to my eyes again, only to see a line on the LCD screen: See you in the afternoon of December 1st.

That mysterious state agency has finally found me, and this information should be from Director Gu. Director Gu once said that they would only contact me when special talents like me were needed under special circumstances, and I would rather they never contact me, but I didn't expect to come anyway. December 1 is tomorrow, and Director Gu has asked me to meet in the afternoon. Didn't say a few points, didn't say where.

However, I didn't need to know that during the self-study class that afternoon, the head of the grade, Sima Zhibei, called me out and said that he would send a few students to participate in a cultural activity organized by the city, and I was one of them. Tomorrow there are leaders from the city who will come to the school. I am also in charge of reception! The leader of the reception city should be the leader of the school, and what does it matter to me as a student? I vaguely felt in my heart that it must be the ghost of Director Gu.

Sure enough, I met Director Gu the next afternoon. The next day, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, the CPPCC, the Cultural Bureau, the Tourism Bureau, the Science and Technology Commission and a number of other relevant personnel accompanied several foreign guests to visit the Dragon Tower, in fact, the Dragon Tower is nothing to visit, and went around under the tower and visited the Zhuangyuan Bridge outside the south gate of our school. Later, I had a small discussion in the reception room of the school. What I mean by reception is to receive a visit to the campus by the director of the city government. Tell us about the various historical sites on campus. According to my observation, Director Gu is much more familiar with the history of the campus than I am in the place where he graduated from Wucheng Middle School. In fact, it was to find an opportunity to call me out alone without attracting anyone's attention.

I thought that Mayor Gu and I would meet in a heavily guarded and hidden place, but I didn't expect it to be swaggering around the campus, talking quietly as we walked.

Director Gu has a task assigned to me, and my task is related to today's visit to the Dragon Tower and the gang in the Champion Bridge. Looking at what the group visited today, they knew that they were coming for the Mei family in Wucheng. As for the foreign guests, they came to attend a seminar held in Wucheng, and the name of the symposium was "Mei Wending's International Symposium on Academic Achievements." Mei Wending is the ancestor of the Mei family. I also saw his name on the ivory plaque of Jingwu Cave Heaven. As for this seminar, it's a long story

Mei Wending was an outstanding scholar in the early Qing Dynasty of China, and his mathematical works consisted of 13 books and 40 volumes. He systematically sorted out and studied the solutions of linear equations, Pythagorean solutions (trigonometric functions), and high-power root finding methods in traditional mathematics. He firmly believed that the study of mathematics in China "must have a good reason", and at the same time, he was able to look at Western mathematics that had been introduced to China at that time with a peaceful eye. He was the master of Western mathematics in the eighteenth century, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was the most learned mathematician in the world at that time. (Xu Gongzi's note: Mei Wending's person and his deeds are of course true.) It's just written in the novel, and there are some plots in the later text, so let's read it as a novel. )

Speaking of which, a few more digressions. Since the May Fourth Movement, most people's minds of Chinese traditional knowledge practitioners have been caricatured and scandalized images such as Fan Jin and Kong Yiji, and they are useless except for rote memorization of the Four Books and Five Classics. This can be said to be the man-made sin of Lu Xun and others! Almost all descendants have been blinded, but this is by no means the case. I don't know anything else, but the traditional Chinese mathematical knowledge is quite rich. There are two courses in modern engineering universities, called Mechanics of Materials and Engineering Mechanics, which are very difficult and use a lot of complex mathematical calculations. So how were so many complex and exquisite grand projects designed and calculated in ancient China?

The traditional Chinese "algorithm" ordinary four operations, multiplication, and square can be used with bead arithmetic, that is, with an abacus. The abacus is just one of many calculation tools (rules, moments, rulers, instruments, plates, etc.). Large, complex calculations in engineering. Often with calculations, the calculation chips look very simple, like a pair of chopsticks. Calculation arithmetic is magical and accurate, there is an idiom called "strategizing", but it is a pity that the contemporary has been lost among ordinary people. In recent years, various "algorithms" have become popular in society, and the most famous person is called Shi Fengshou. Techniques such as the "Shi Fengshou algorithm" are actually a kind of "pinching fingers" algorithm in ancient China, and there is also an idiom called "pinching fingers". However, these contents are not examined in the imperial examination, and history books are not recorded, and outsiders do not know much.

Less gossip and less narration and get down to business. Mei Wending is long unknown today, and even the locals in Wucheng don't know much about him. However, in recent years, some foreign scholars have dug out Mei Wending's works for research out of nowhere, and have given him high praise. Some scholars in Japan and Korea have even published papers claiming that Mei Wending was one of the three great mathematicians in the world in the eighteenth century!) (The other two are, of course, Newton and Leibniz.) )

The papers of foreign scholars have attracted the attention of the country, and then the local leaders of Wucheng have attached great importance to them! The meeting decided to allocate funds and sponsor the construction of the Mei Wending Memorial Hall. At the time of the inauguration of the memorial. Officials organized such an "international" symposium and invited several scholars from Japan and South Korea to participate in the study of Mei Wending.

Wucheng is just an ordinary city located in the middle of the 6 years, although it has been a famous cultural city for more than 2,000 years in history, but it is not a very famous place today. At that time, the reform and opening up had just entered the introduction of foreign learning, and several foreign experts came all the way to visit suddenly. Whether it is a slave of a subsidiary country in history or a descendant of an invading country, the city leaders all feel that there is light on their faces, as if they have a big face, and they are waiting carefully. I'm afraid that no one in Wucheng wants to murder these foreign experts, but the city's security work is still very tightly arranged.

However, my mission is not to defend. Director Gu gave me a very special task that could not be made public—surveillance. He asked me to monitor the foreign guests' movements at public events, to see what relics of the Mei family they were particularly interested in, and why they had come to Wucheng to participate in this purely symbolic seminar? Of course, I was not the only one in our school who participated in this event in the city. In total, there are three teachers and three students.

Why did the teachers of Wucheng Middle School want to participate in this activity? It is funny that foreign experts want to come, but among the intellectuals in Wucheng in the 90s, there are not many who really have studied Mei Wending's academics. Not to mention research, even Mei Wending's "Theory of Calculation" left by me may not be able to find anyone who can understand it from beginning to end. It can't be said that no one in Wucheng understands mathematics, but almost no one understands the traditional Chinese way of expressing mathematics. If there is, there are two people, one is Zhang Rongdao, the chairman of Rongdao Group, and the Mei Wending Memorial Hall was built under his sponsorship. But Zhang Rongdao is not in Wucheng. Nor will they attend such seminars.

There is another person, Tang Qing, a veteran special teacher in our school who does not eat hard and soft, that is, the old man Tang who taught us political classes. Old man Tang did not teach politics, mathematics and history at the earliest, but that was before the Cultural Revolution or even before liberation. After the Cultural Revolution, he himself asked to teach political classes, and I don't know what the old man thought. The old man was very interested in Mei Wending, so he also participated in the seminar this time. If he doesn't participate, I'm afraid that no one in Wucheng will know what academic achievements Mei Wending has to discuss.

The other two teachers are the Head of Studies, Fang Zhouzi, and our homeroom teacher, Liu Fei'er. Fang Zhouzi knew nothing about the expositions of ancient Chinese mathematicians in his bones, but he was a member of the Wucheng Association for Science and Technology and the Writers Association, and he was also a well-known "scholar". As for Teacher Liu Feier, she is a descendant of another big family in Wucheng, and she knows the story of Wucheng culture and history very well. This was not learned in college, but by their Liu family's own homeschool.

As for the three students, they cooperated with the teacher to do the reception work, that is, serving tea, pouring water, opening and closing the doors and windows, etc., which are called extracurricular learning activities. As for this kind of activity, it is actually dispensable, and there is no shortage of a few waiters to join in the fun, and Director Gu deliberately found an excuse to arrange me in. I was arranged to be too conspicuous, and I always had to find two more students, and Director Gu asked me to give him the names of two of his classmates, and he asked the school directly to name them.

Director Gu asked me to find two classmates to cover my "surveillance" mission. Almost immediately, I remembered the names of two people, the Wind Gentleman and Shang Yunfei. I don't know what's strange about those foreign experts, but since Director Gu has found someone like me, then I'm afraid the other party is not an ordinary person. If that's the case, I'll have to be careful to have two masters by my side to rest assured. Shang Yunfei is a disciple of the Living Buddha, everyone knows this, and they are not afraid of his identity being exposed. As for the Wind Gentleman, I will tell him to be careful in private, and I may help me secretly, but don't show any traces. And so it was settled.

......

Tomorrow, I will go with Mr. Liu and them to attend the opening ceremony of the "Mei Wending Academic International Symposium" and the inauguration ceremony of the "Mei Wending Memorial Hall". One of the things I plan to do that night is to use the method of dissolving dreams to go to Mr. Liu's dream. One is for the agreement between me and her that Liu Yiyi will only be talked about in my dreams, and the other is for the strange task I accepted.

Some foreign scholars have expressed concern for the ancestors of the Mei family, but this concern has aroused the vigilance of relevant government agencies, which is unusual in itself. Teacher Liu, as a descendant of the Liu family, another big family in Wucheng, should also be careful when participating in this kind of activity, so as not to cause any trouble because of this, I have the responsibility to remind her. Of course, it may be a violation of discipline to do so, but I have already violated this discipline once, and last time I told the Wind Gentleman about the situation in the training camp in my dream. What's more, Mr. Liu already knows my identity.

To enter another person's dream, you have to wait until she is asleep. I didn't want to peep at Ms. Liu, but that night, my yin god stood quietly in front of her bed and stared at her for a long time. Her sleeping posture is very beautiful, her thin eyebrows are slightly frowned, as if she is coquettish to someone, this is Liu Fei'er, which is different from the daytime. I've also seen a completely different one of her in my predicament. With this in mind, my eyes saw her ** again through the quilt and pajamas. The mellow female body is like a shy lily, and for me, it is not entirely a temptation, and it is not at all.

In her deep sleep, her slender eyelashes suddenly began to flutter slightly, a sign that a person had entered a dream. I watched her perform the trick of delusion and walk into her dreams
