Half a month later, in the Xuanyu Pavilion in Meishan, the three elders of Meishan and Chen Fan sat facing each other, with a long table in between.
"What is heaven and earth?"
"The three yin lines are in the inner part, and the three yang lines are in the outer part. When measuring people, the villain will gain power, and the gentleman will be squeezed out; when measuring the family, the husband and wife will not get along, and they will live apart; when measuring the human heart, it will appear to be strong on the outside, but in reality it will be weak. The hexagram No is the difference between heaven and earth. Hand in, fierce."
…
Meishan and the others were testing Chen Fan's performance in learning Tianji arithmetic in the past ten days.
After Chen Fan said goodbye to Fan Zheng, he stayed at his uncle's house for three days. During these three days, he went to Guozixue during the day to study the "Zuo Wang Sutra" and copied "Tian Lun" at night.
With Lu Yungong's help, Chen Fan's learning process of "Zuo Wang Sutra" was very smooth. Unfortunately, this "Zuo Wang Sutra" was of little help to Chen Fan. Its content only corresponded to the "Zi Zhaojing", and Chen Fan discovered , due to a coincidence, he has entered the realm of Netherworld, and his spiritual consciousness has been condensed. He needs to practice the "Heart Sutra" to help the growth of his spiritual consciousness. Although it was of little help, Chen Fan still copied and recited the "Zuo Wang Sutra" and mapped it out using "Cheng Yin", so it was not in vain that he came to Jiankang. As for the opening of the "Heart Sutra", in addition to Chen Fan's knowledge of the second level of chess and reaching the Tongyou realm, there are also restrictions. At present, the academy only accepts Guozixue students and officials of sixth level and above. Even Lu Yungong can't help it. He took it out privately for Chen Fan to watch, and had to find another way later.
Fortunately, Chen Fan has now gained some enthusiasm in practicing the Dingguang Divine Art. This divine art will also help Chen Fan's spiritual consciousness to a certain extent, but it requires spending some real energy. Chen Fan also plans to study "Tian Lun". There is no rush to get the Heart Sutra.
After three days of studying Chinese Confucianism and reading "Zuo Wang Jing", Chen Fan went to bid farewell to Lu Yungong, said goodbye to his uncle, and went up to Meishan Mountain with everyone accompanying him.
During the ten days in Meishan, Chen Fan spent most of his time practicing "Tian Lun" and a small part of his time copying "Tian Ji Arithmetic".
Chen Fan's soul condensed the soul under the double nourishment of physical sacrifice and spiritual source beads. However, it became weak due to traveling to this time and space. However, with the nourishment of the true essence and the condensation of the spirit, it has become Gradually recovering, this is twice the result with half the effort for practicing "Tian Lun". "Tian Lun" is originally a method for cultivating the soul, so Chen Fan has made rapid progress. Although he can't follow the instructions in words, he has also entered the state of knowing.
Although Chen Fan didn't spend much time on "Tian Ji Arithmetic", thanks to Cheng Ying's help, he had completely mastered it in more than ten days. In the eyes of the three elders of Meishan, he was born to learn Tian Ji Arithmetic.
Before he knew it, Chen Fan had already left Gusu for a month. The time he spent in Jiankang had exceeded Chen Fan's expectation. He had learned "Tianji Arithmetic", so Chen Fan proposed to leave, and the above Meishan three The old test scene of Chen Fan. Although the test took a long time and contained a lot of content, Chen Fan answered all the questions one by one, which made the three elders of Meishan very happy. This is just a simple memory. The key is that Chen Fan can still understand the content. .
"Chen Fasheng, judging from your qualifications, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to match. This heavenly secret shows that the heavenly secret map is destined to you. It is not unreasonable. This map will be handed over to you for safekeeping from now on." After saying this, General Mei handed the heavenly secret map that he had prepared earlier to Chen. Fan.
"This picture is the most precious treasure in the pavilion. It's not convenient for me to take it with me when I go out, so I'd better keep it in the pavilion." Chen Fan refused, mainly because he didn't know the use of it, and it was still a burden to keep it, so it was better not to take it.
"Well, it's already late today. If you leave tomorrow, I'll leave you with this picture for one night. I hope it will be helpful to you."
"Thank you, Pavilion Master." After saying that, Chen Fan took the Tianji Diagram.
"Everything he sees must be found. Yin and Yang change and destiny is revealed."
Suddenly, the "Cheng Ying" in Chen Fan's mind appeared, making Chen Fan almost hold his breath. what happened? Fortunately, in an instant, "Chengying" gave an insight. This heavenly secret map carries the projection of the "destiny" of the heavenly book pages in this world! Can "destiny" manifest itself in the pages of the heavenly book? Why is it a projection in this world? Where is its body? After receiving the "Cheng Ying" realization, Chen Fan was confused. Although his heart was turbulent, the expression on Chen Fan's face only showed a moment of excitement. Then he spread the picture flat on the long table and said: "I don't know what happened before. Have seniors ever used any methods to detect the secrets of this map?"
"This is not very clear. I probably have tried every possible way, but I just haven't discovered the mystery. Fa Sheng, please study it slowly. Let's leave first." After saying that, the three Meis left the pavilion.
"Since this is the projection of the page of the heavenly book, why don't I test the luck of returning to Gusu on it and see if the journey is smooth?" Chen Fan was curious for a moment, thought about it, and took out six copper coins. The treasure of Tianji Pavilion is said to be made of copper by the sixth generation pavilion master. The copper coins are engraved with two words "Heaven's Mandate". In order to increase the yang energy contained in the copper coins, they are nourished by the popularity of thousands of people before being used for divination. Originally, Once given to a disciple, it would not be taken back, but as the number of copper coins became less and less, there was a requirement that they must be returned after leaving Tianji Pavilion.
Chen Fan's use of these six copper coins for divination was different from the tortoise-shell algorithm. It only measured good and bad luck, which was relatively simple. After praying immediately, he scattered the copper coins on the celestial map. The copper coins seemed to resonate with the map, and he got a If Chen Fan hadn't mastered Tongyou, he would have almost suspected it was an illusion, but his mind was immediately attracted to the hexagrams, "Do it up and down, litigate the hexagrams, it's a big disaster!" If there is a fierce fight, both sides will inevitably be disadvantageous, and the result will be dangerous!
Where does the risk come from? Nether Palace! Not doubt, but certainty.
Currently, there are only two people who are hostile to Chen Fan. One is Meng Yunfei from the Confucian Meng Sect. But that is only a possibility. Even if the other party wants to get "The Theory of Heaven", he will definitely use upright means. At this time, he should come directly to his door. It won't be intercepted halfway. The only place left was the Nether Palace where Chen Fan had a life-and-death feud. Ever since he studied the arithmetic of heaven, Chen Fan has never wanted to hide from this organization that can assassinate cultivators, so he left the inn and moved to his uncle's house. Later, he spread suspicion and made people suspect that he had returned to Suzhou. , just to guard against this Nether Palace.
In fact, what Chen Fan didn't know was that Nether Palace had found Mei Shan a few days ago, but they were just monitoring him secretly and did not launch any attack. The reason why Meishan was found was not because he was calculated by calculations. Chen Fan had a Heavenly Secret Page on his body. This Heavenly Secret Page was something that could circumvent the ways of heaven. It was easy to evade mortal calculations. The flaw was in Chen Ying's body.
The Netherworld Temple has a method of controlling killers. These killers are trained since childhood. Each of them is equipped with a paraphernalia. After becoming a killer, he drops his own blood on the paraphernalia and swears allegiance to the Netherworld Cult. If these killers betray , you can find the corresponding killer with the belongings left in the church. The control over Wuming is even stricter and will make him take Nether Pill. After taking this elixir, he needs to take the antidote regularly to suppress the toxicity. Wuming will become an elder or hall master and gain the trust of the hall master. Or if he has achieved great success, he will be given a one-time antidote to completely remove the poison from his body, thus motivating the followers to work hard for the Nether Sect.
Previously, the killers Chen Fan encountered at Chen Ying's home were three of the twelve killers sent by Wuming. They were only ordered to retrieve the souls, not to kill them. It is not easy to train a killer, and if there is a mission failure, death, or betrayal among the killers managed by Wuming, the Nether Palace main hall will lower the evaluation of Wuming and even punish Wuming. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Wuming He would not report the trouble he encountered, but would solve it on his own. However, this time, with the disappearance of the three Twelve Killers and Chen Ying, and after predicting that the three killers might die, Wuming finally reported it to the boss.
In the quiet room, Chen Ying stood opposite Chen Fan who was sitting.
"You are in trouble, big trouble!" Chen Fan decided to have a good talk with Chen Ying.
"Yes, but the troubles of the subordinates are the troubles of the master."
This guy is so shameless that he eats him for food! But now is not the time to be angry. Chen Fan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Why did Nether Palace find you?"
"Because I have something left in the Nether Palace. It is a marble dyed with my own essence and blood. I have worn this marble since I was a child. After I left the army, I left it in the Nether Palace."
"Do you know where the Nether Palace is kept? Or do you know who can find out about it?"
"Not to mention knowing where it is kept, I don't even know the specific location of the Nether Palace. Wuming should know where the Nether Palace is. As for whether he knows the specific location of Yunshi, I don't know." Chen Ying looked at Chen Fan helplessly and said.
"Is this actually the reason why you didn't kill Wuming?"
"No, it's because I expect you to help me kill him."
"Remuneration?" Chen Fan was a little crazy, feeling that he had met a rogue, so he asked unceremoniously.
"my life."
Chen Fan looked at Chen Ying. The annoyance he had felt just now disappeared without a trace when Chen Ying said "my life". If the other party has surrendered his life, he can naturally make demands, and Chen Fan does not think that the other party's request is too much. He must help him solve this problem. Only by cutting off his past can he get a new life, and the other party also Only then can one be truly attached. There is no love without reason in this world. If you want to get the other person's effectiveness, how can you get it without giving anything?
"If we met a three-year-old child on the road and I took one look at him and asked you to kill him, what would you do?"
"Of course I'll kill him."
"Don't ask why?"
"Do not ask."
"When will we do it?"
"immediately."
A subordinate who completely obeys orders is much better than Hou Feng, so just think of it as an unexpected gain. In fact, by killing those three people, Chen Fan had already stood on the opposite side of the Netherworld Palace. At this time, it was impossible to hand over Chen Ying in exchange for the kindness of the Netherworld Sect.
"How to find Wuming?" Chen Fan asked after making up his mind.
"He will come."
"How different is your martial arts from his?"
"He can support up to fifty moves in his hand."
"How did you dispose of the bodies of the three people you killed?" Chen Fan would not admit that he killed those three people. This is called selective memory disorder.
"Thrown into a well and buried."
"The well of the house where you live?"
"Yes, we were in a hurry at that time, and it was not convenient for me to carry the body out."
Why is there no corpse powder? Turn the corpse into a puddle of water. But now is not the time for blame and regret.
"If Wuming saw the murdered body, would someone come to kill you alone?" Chen Fan asked, staring at Chen Ying.
"No, even if he didn't see the body, he would not come alone. If he wants to find me with Yun Shi, he must report my betrayal to the main hall. The main hall will definitely send a killer to supervise and assist, and he must rely on Yun Shi. The stone found me, and it is said that I need the help of people from the Jueshen Hall. Only those who are cultivators can use Yun Shi to find people."
Chen Fan suddenly regretted listening to Master Huang and went to find Chen Ying. After the incident happened, he handled it too hastily. It was easy to win at that time, so much so that I had the mentality of treating this killer organization as a test stone in case of being discovered, so I didn't think carefully about how to erase the traces of the killing and keep myself out of the matter, so that I left behind There are so many clues that it’s hard to get out now. It's just that there is no such thing as regret in this world, and Chen Fan is not a person who likes to regret, so he should regard it as a lesson. The important thing is to be fully prepared for the future and never be careless.
"A lion must fight a rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that he is not a lion yet." Chen Fan quietly thought about the next course of action.
