Chapter Sixty-One: The Old Man

Seeing Changsheng walking past everyone and walking into the Xuan Palace Tower without looking back, all the young people and his sons were all surprised!

Even Senior Brother Sun opened his eyes and looked at Chang Sheng's back, and asked his companions with some doubts, "Am I right? That little brother is the youngest son of the academy?"

Several companions around him happened to have witnessed Changsheng overthrowing Yu Taihe, scratched his head and smiled bitterly, then said, "Senior Brother Sun is not wrong, that boy is indeed the youngest son of the academy, but, that boy's name is Changsheng...

."

"Ah? He is Chang Sheng, the youngest son of the academy who overthrew Yu Taihe, the assassin of the sect, but did not recruit the inner sect uncle?" Senior Brother Sun looked startled, and unexpectedly looked at Chang Sheng's thin back.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, this matter was exaggerated and spread by some good outer disciples, and almost all the outer disciples knew the name ‘Changsheng’!

Although most people have never seen Chang Sheng in person, they all know that Chang Sheng is only twelve years old, which is considered very young among the youngest sons in the academy. Now that they have seen the real person, he is actually younger than they imagined!

According to common sense, the youngest son of the academy is the youngest son of the academy after all. Whether it is the age gap or the depth of cultivation, it cannot be made up for by some special magical powers. Even if your magical powers are astonishing, the subjects you have studied and your experience will not be able to make up for it.

With a basic foundation in martial arts, how can he compare with his sons who have been practicing in the Mohist School for more than ten years?

But what these people don’t know is that these miscellaneous subjects and extraordinary experience are Chang Sheng’s strengths!

"Even if he has some special talents, I'm afraid he won't be able to get through a few levels!" A female son next to Senior Brother Sun said with some hesitation.

"Hmph..." Hearing this, Jiang Xueyi snorted dissatisfiedly, looked at the daughter who was five or six years older than herself, and shouted softly, "I'll let you see it today."

, what is true genius!”

All his sons, including Senior Brother Sun, looked at Jiang Xueyi at the same time, intending to say something, but in the end they did not speak...

Changsheng had just walked into the octagonal Xuan Palace Building with its overhanging eaves. The door behind him slammed shut, and the inside instantly turned pitch black. Then there was a ticking sound, as if it was a clock keeping time.

Changsheng only had time to look around with the bright light from the open door. The space of Aries Palace was not big, only about thirty square meters. It was surrounded by a circle of tall bookshelves filled with old books!

"Ah...there are indeed a lot of books!"

Changsheng was overjoyed and thought that as long as he could climb to the thirteenth floor and ring the unicorn bell, these books would be his!

The surrounding darkness gradually weakened, Chang Sheng's eyesight gradually recovered, and he was able to see clearly what was going on around him!

But at this moment, the entire Aries Palace suddenly lit up with a blue light. The light filled the entire space like mist, and in the middle of the blue light, a faint white light the size of a fist flickered.

Suddenly, the white light exploded into countless white light spots without warning, filling the entire space. These light spots were big and small, and they were flashing continuously. The big ones were as big as a thumb, while the small ones were extremely weak and scattered.

Show a faint light!

"This is... the sea of ​​stars?" Countless stars filled the surroundings. Changsheng seemed to be standing in outer space. He was instantly shocked by this beautiful scenery and sighed secretly, "Even if you haven't passed through the Xuan Palace Tower, you can see

It’s a worthwhile trip to see such beautiful scenery!”

Of course, even though Changsheng said so, we still have to break into the Xuan Palace Tower!

As countless stars scattered like raindrops around Changsheng, these stars suddenly rotated clockwise around the white dot in the middle, turning into a huge nebula...

Just when Chang Sheng was stunned, the nebula picture that paused for a moment rotated again and turned into another picture!

And this picture only paused for about ten seconds, and then rotated again and turned into another picture!

Looking at the constantly changing nebula map, Changsheng instantly understood that this was a galaxy map!

As the galaxy map continued to change, it suddenly turned into a Milky Way, which was the nebula map of the Milky Way.

"It's now..." Changsheng whispered, looking at the countless stars in the Milky Way, looking for the constellation Aries!

However, before Changsheng could find the three brightest main stars of Aries, ten seconds had passed and the galaxy map rotated again and turned into an unfamiliar nebula map.

"Huh?" Changsheng was slightly startled and said to himself, so fast?

But I also started to recall the introduction about Aries in my mind!

Aries is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, located between Pisces and Taurus, with an area of ​​441.39 square degrees, accounting for 1.07% of the entire sky. It ranks 39th among the 88 constellations in the sky.

There are 28 stars brighter than magnitude 5.5 in Aries, including 1 2nd magnitude star and 1 3rd magnitude star....

The nebula picture continued to change, one after another, until it returned to the first nebula picture. Changsheng concentrated again and prepared to wait for the nebula picture to turn into a galaxy!

Not long after, the nebula map turned into a Milky Way again. Changsheng's eyes quickly stretched out his fingers to find the constellation map of Aries, quickly returned the three main stars to their original positions, and then searched non-stop for the remaining secondary stars.

However, before Changsheng had time to find all the remaining sub-stars, the nebula map suddenly rotated and turned into another galaxy map!

Changsheng had no choice but to think about the rules of the Aries constellation while waiting for the starry sea to turn into a galaxy again.

After more than ten rounds of changes, it was almost twelve minutes before Changsheng returned all the primary and secondary stars of Aries to their original positions, forming a complete Aries!

At this time, Changsheng was already sweating through his clothes, and his fingers were trembling slightly, which showed that Changsheng was extremely nervous...

The moment they formed the constellation Aries, the entire galaxy stopped rotating, and then gathered in the middle like all the currents returning to the sea, turning back into a ball of white light again!

And the white light that was like thousands of waves returning to the sea also emitted a strange suction force, buzzing past Changsheng's body...

"Ah..." Chang Sheng felt this suction force passing by him, and his whole mind suddenly trembled. A feeling of panic and uneasiness surged from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but roar!

When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting cross-legged on the floor in a strange attic. There was a low table in front of him, and behind the low table sat an old man with silver hair who was over seventy years old. The old man looked at him with a slight frown.

"Uh" This surprise was truly extraordinary. Chang Sheng roared and stood up, using his hands and feet to take a few steps back. He looked at the old man at a loss and said, "Where is this place? Who are you?"

"What you see is not real, but just an illusion in your mind. You don't have to worry about what's in front of you. As long as you are ready to accept the test..." The old man picked up the tea boat in front of him and said leisurely

He replied, looked at Changsheng carefully, and suddenly asked, "What is your name? How old are you?"

"The junior's name is Changsheng, and he is twelve years old this year?" Changsheng felt relieved a little, walked back to the low table, sat down, and replied respectfully!

"A twelve-year-old academy boy dares to break into the Xuan Palace Tower. What a joke!" Sure enough, when the old man heard about his longevity, he frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "Although there is no danger of life or death in breaking into the Xuan Palace Tower, but

You may also be seriously injured, so you have to be mentally prepared!"

Changsheng didn't want to talk about these, and he didn't have time to talk about these trivial matters. He said respectfully, "I dare to ask senior, what kind of test will Aries accept?"

The old man nodded and said no more. He pointed his finger behind Changsheng's back and said, "You can pick out a roll at random from the bamboo slips behind you!"

Changsheng turned his head and looked behind him, only to find that the bookshelf behind him was filled with layers of yellowed bamboo slips. He stood up and walked forward, randomly pulling out a volume from hundreds of bamboo slips and handing it to the man sitting on the short floor.

The old man on the table.

The old man gently unfolded the bamboo slips and said with a faint smile, "The test of Aries Palace has always been simple. Please introduce the yin and yang theory of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of rice paper appeared on the low table in front of Changsheng. Next to the rice paper was a quill pen!

After listening to the old man's words, Changsheng didn't feel relaxed at all. He sighed secretly and muttered to himself, it is indeed the most annoying philosophical question...

For ordinary Mohist disciples, such a test is really easy, and passing it is simply a waste of time. However, Changsheng has always disliked profound and difficult philosophical questions, so he can't help but sigh!

However, sighs are sighs, and the question still needs to be answered. Changsheng silently thought about the introduction to the theory of yin and yang. After a long time, he picked up the quill in front of him, dipped some ink in it, and started writing on the rice paper...

The Tao Te Ching says that all things carry yin and embrace yang! The Xici says that one yin and one yang are called Tao.

The entire "Book of Changes" talks about the mathematics and philosophy of the changes of 'yin and yang'. The basic idea is actually that the interaction of yin and yang gives rise to all things in the universe, and all things in the universe are the unity of opposites of yin and yang...

As Chang Sheng wrote a thousand words, dense handwriting and some smears appeared on the rice paper, and a philosophical 'thesis' was born.

...

As Changsheng entered the Xuan Palace Tower for longer and longer, the pride on Jiang Xueyi's face became less and less, then turned into surprise, and then into anxiety!

Pacing back and forth in front of Feng Jue, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Brother Feng, you said Changsheng is messing with gods and ghosts? It's been almost an hour, why hasn't the Aries Palace been lit up yet?"

"Haha...Xueyi, what are you worried about? If Changsheng can't even light up the Aries Palace, what are you talking about? Don't worry..."

"I wasn't too worried at first, but you saw it." Jiang Xueyi thought for a moment and replied in a low voice, "I already boasted about Chang Sheng being a genius boy..."

"Changsheng is a genius boy..." Feng Jue replied funny!

"I think so too!" Jiang Xueyi replied dissatisfiedly, "But others only spent less than thirty minutes in the Aries Palace, and Changsheng...it's almost time now. If ten thousand

1...that, where can I put my face?"

"There is no such thing as a chance," Feng Jue believed in immortality and answered calmly!

At this time, a young man and his son who were surrounding Senior Brother Sun suddenly looked at Jiang Xueyi and said with a faint smile, "Is this the 'genius boy' you are talking about? Don't stop at the Aries Palace, the fun will be great."

a ha ha ha......"

Several young men and their sons nearby who were also in the mood to watch the fun burst out laughing!

Jiang Xueyi stamped her feet, complained softly about longevity, but unconsciously argued, "What do you know? This is called recharging your energy, in order to save your energy for the later tests..."

"Save energy? Hahaha..."

Jiang Xueyi didn't say anything, but as soon as she said the words, all her sons burst into laughter. It was the young son who laughed and said, "The hour is about to come, and your 'genius' partner is still trapped in Aries."

In the palace, how dare you talk about saving your energy? I bet that even if this kid gets through the Aries Palace by luck, he will never be able to get through the Taurus Palace... Just watch if you don’t believe me!"

Jiang Xueyi opened her mouth to refute, but did not say anything to refute. She turned back to look at Feng Jue beside her!
