Chapter 254 The Threshold of Meeting

Sea Cliff Cave.

on the beach.

Hou Dongsheng spread out the map of the open sea.

Masato Kukai and Layman Kukai should be the same person.

Nine out of ten empty sea islands hanging alone in the open sea are the islands where the empty sea layman is located.

This location is indeed a bit far away, and it would take six days and six nights to fly there by shuttle boat.

No matter what, it is much closer than going to Tianqingmen...

Use the compass to determine the approximate direction.

The shuttle boat broke through the air and left.

This time, due to the long distance, the second Yuanshen Ghost Emperor brought four beautiful women in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and these four ghost soldiers from the eighth level of Qi refining took turns to assist the Ghost Emperor in driving the Liushuo boat.

Wang Dama had just obtained the sword cultivation method "Fish and Dragon Transformation", so he was asked to concentrate on comprehension in Haiya Cave and guard the house by the way.

A sword cultivator toad + an iron puppet in the foundation period is enough to guard the house.

six days later...

Sea and Sky Island.

The shuttle boat landed in the forest on the bank.

After some storage.

Hou Dongsheng walked out of the woods alone, and a step led to a building.

There is an archway before the steps.

Zuo Shu: It rained like silk overnight on the empty mountain.

Book on the right: There is no wind in the sea without knowing it.

Zhongshu: Fly to Penghuan.

Walk up the steps and knock on the Taoist temple gate.

dong dong dong...

After a while.

The wooden door was pushed open, and a little boy with red lips and white teeth revealed a face.

Hou Dongsheng clasped his fists and bowed: "Sanxiu Hou Dongsheng asks to see Master Kukai."

Xiao Daotong: "Since Fellow Daoist Hou was able to find this place, it must be a predestined relationship. If it is a predestined relationship, then it is not appropriate to refuse the door. Come in."

Hou Dongsheng: "Thank you."

Cross the threshold and enter the inner courtyard.

Xiao Daotong led the way, and asked as he walked, "I don't know if you are asking for a refiner or a master?"

Hou Dongsheng: "Look for a refiner."

Xiao Daotong smiled: "If you want to find a refining tool, you only need to pass the millstone test, and you don't need to take the calculus test."

"There are still levels?"

Xiaodaotong: "Nonsense! A real person has profound cultivation and extraordinary skills. He is the No. 1 overseas casual cultivator. If there is no threshold, the real person will be bored to death."

"That's right... what level is it?"

The little Taoist leading the way came to a big house and pushed the door hard.

There were more than [-] monks sitting in the room, both refining qi and building foundations, each of them sat on a small bench and concentrated on grinding the stone, and the white powder was rinsed from their hands.

Hou Dongsheng: "What are they doing?"

Xiao Daotong replied with a smile on his face: "They are grinding ancient bone stones."

"What is an ancient bone stone?"

"Creatures from ten thousand years ago turned into white bones after death, and the bones merged with the soil, and turned into rocks for a long time..."

Hou Dongsheng: "I understand, it's just grinding fossils."

Xiao Daotong nodded: "It's good if you understand, and I won't need to explain more. Real people only deal with craftsmen. Craftsmen should focus on persistence and be meticulous. This level tests the patience of visitors. If you don't have patience and focus A real person is not interested in seeing such a quality."

Xiaodao Fairy Tale just fell.

Bang!
Only heard a crisp sound.

A monk grinds too fast and breaks the stone along with the fossil.

The cultivator showed remorse and a gloomy face, and he refused to get up for a long time.

Xiao Daotong: "Haste makes waste. As craftsmen, we must remember not to be impetuous."

Hou Dongsheng: "Grind out a fossil and see a real person?"

"Hehehe...Of course not."

"If Jindan Daoist wants to see my real person, there is no need for a millstone. After my notification, the real person will meet if he wants to meet." Xiao Daotong explained.

Hou Dongsheng: "The world of cultivating immortals respects strength, and it should be so."

Xiao Daotong: "If a monk who is refining Qi or building a foundation wants to see my real person, he needs to grind out 100 ancient bone stones. If he fails once, he needs to grind 1000 ancient bone stones. If he fails three times, he needs to grind 1 ancient bone stones. analogy……"

Hou Dongsheng: "If you encounter bad luck, won't you never see the real person?"

"That's not true... If you're really unlucky, you can come back in three years." Xiao Daotong said with a smile.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who failed to grind the stone just now thought for a long time and finally stood up and walked towards Xiaodao Boy.

Xiaodaotong: "Senior Guo... don't be discouraged, come back in three years."

Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Guo: "I don't have time to wait another three years."

Xiao Daotong: "Senior Guo... If you grind again, you will have to grind a thousand ancient bone stones, and as long as you fail once, you will have to grind another 1 ancient bone stones. Anyone who fails once, it is impossible to go through this again." One pass, seniors should wait another three years."

"I've heard that there are odd checks set up by real people, as long as you pass one of them, even mortals can meet each other." The personality monk asked.

Xiaodaotong: "That's true, but you need to pay 2000 yuan of spirit stones to pass this level. Even if you fail to pass, the spirit stones will not be returned."

The foundation-building cultivator surnamed Guo took out 20 middle-grade spirit stones without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me." Xiao Daotong accepted the spirit stone and said with a smile on his face.

Hou Dongsheng: "That... I also plan to try the odd calculation level."

The cultivator surnamed Guo and Xiaodaotong looked at Hou Dongsheng together.

Xiao Daotong: "Fellow Daoist Hou, do you know that Mogu bone stone is the easiest shortcut to meet real people, and there is no need to pay spirit stones."

"I'm not very patient." Hou Dongsheng spread his hands and admitted generously.

Three months later, Hou Dongsheng had to go to the Banshee Sea with the boat.

Let him grind 100 yuan of fossils, and he is not allowed to fail one.

This is too embarrassing.

Xiao Daotong: "Since fellow Taoist insists on this, I can't persuade you any more. If you want to pass the odd calculation, you need to pay two thousand spirit stones. This is not because the real person lacks spiritual stones, but because the real person doesn't want people to go back and forth and get entangled." , I still hope to understand."

Hou Dongsheng took out 20 medium-grade spirit stones without hesitation.

After Xiaodaotong took away the spirit stone.

Xiao Daotong led the two of them to a stone gate.

"Hou Daoyou, please wait here, I will take Senior Guo in first." Xiaodaotong explained.

Push open the stone door.

Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Guo saw the title on the wall at a glance.

"Isn't it the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage? Why is this?" The foundation-building cultivator surnamed Guo looked extremely surprised.

"Senior Guo... the calculations at the level of pigs and rabbits in the same cage are just used to test the disciples who are apprentices. It is just a general calculation technique, and naturally it is not a magic calculation technique."

"I... I admit defeat..." Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Guo walked out of the room dejectedly, and left Haikong Island as a ray of light.

Xiao Daotong watched the cultivator surnamed Guo leave, he laughed and said: "Senior Guo is really interesting, he must have heard about the calculation problems given by real people from some craftsman disciple, such problems are just common, how can he Count it as a fortune?"

"Hou Daoyou, it's your turn."

"Eh..." Hou Dongsheng entered the stone house with a nervous expression on his face.

Seeing Hou Dongsheng's appearance like this, Xiao Daotong unabashedly showed his sarcasm.

"Hmph! It's too late for you to regret it now. Even the real person himself finds the strange calculation problem posed by the real person extremely difficult. How can you opportunistic people who can easily calculate it?"

The two entered the stone house together.

A piece of cloth is hung on the wall of the stone house. There is a circle on the cloth with a straight line in the middle of the circle.

The diameter of Xiaodao boy said: "The diameter of this circle is 1, please ask fellow Taoists to calculate the circumference of this circle."

"Oh..." Hou Dongsheng smiled.

How to say this question?

There is definitely difficulty.

After all, this is the category of irrational numbers, which is much more difficult than the problem of chicken and rabbit in the same cage.

But if you want Hou Dongsheng to calculate pi on the spot, he must be incompetent.

Fortunately, he remembered the calculation result.

Hou Dongsheng said with a smile on his face: "The circumference of this circle is 3.1415926..."

Xiao Daotong's smiling face was on his face, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of shock.

empty island.

The inner court.

In a quiet courtyard.

It is densely covered with pebbles and shallow water.

Two monks in white sat on the wooden couch, which was placed directly on the pebbles and shallow water.

The two sitting on the wooden couch are like young men and women in their twenties, the man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is dignified and beautiful.

The two sat facing each other, one holding white chess, the other holding black chess, slowly making moves.

These two people are real people Kong Hai and real Lin Huaibing.

After half an hour...

Lin Huaibing sighed, pitched in and said, "Sir, your chess skills are really extraordinary, and Huai Bing is no match for you."

"Lin Daoyou came from a long way, so he didn't come to play chess with me, did he?" Kukai asked with a smile on his face.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, sir. I would like to ask you to identify the origin of this object." I saw Master Lin Huaibing take out a magic weapon from the storage bag, and handed it to Master Kong Hai respectfully.

Master Kukai just glanced at it and said, "This is a magic weapon of ghosts."

Lin Huaibing looked shocked: "So the only person who can use this thing is a ghost cultivator?"

Masato Kukai: "If it is a living monk, it can also be used, but it requires special exercises."

Lin Huaibing: "The only ones in the world who can drive this thing are the Lianyou Sect, the Blood Corpse Sect, and the Youquan Sword Sect."

Master Kukai: "The refining method of this thing is similar to that of Youzong."

Lin Huaibing has only heard about the Lianyou Sect so far. As a monk in the Chixia Sea, all the sects on land are too unfamiliar to her.

Lin Huaibing: "Refining Youzong is a giant in the same level of magic as the Demon Flame Sect, why did you kill our Lin family?"

"Everything has a cause and effect." Kukai Masato said quite Zen-like.

Lin Huaibing showed a hint of embarrassment.

Because it was Lin Qingyou who became greedy for Tianhai clam pearls, and because of his lack of strength, he kicked the iron plate and was killed by others.

Lin Huaibing: "To tell you the truth, sir, it's because the cultivators of the Ghost Dao and Demon Sect are greedy, and it turns out that he killed people to seize treasures and killed my Lin family."

Master Haikong smiled slightly, but did not point out.

Lin Huaibing: "Huai Bing's trip is not only for real people to identify this object, but also for another thing."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I don't know if Master Kukai understands the labyrinth array."

"Lin Qingyou wrote to me about the labyrinth, didn't he tell you?"

Hearing this, Lin Huaibing looked astonished.

"I understand... Lin Qingyou was the one who was killed by the ghost cultivator."

Lin Huaibing: "It's true that nothing can be hidden from real people. The murdered member of my Lin family is indeed Lin Qingyou."

"Are there any other clues other than this magical artifact?" Kukai asked.

"In addition to this magic weapon, there are indeed three other clues. One is a casual cultivator named Hou Dongsheng. This person has a very obvious characteristic of carrying a big gourd. It is this person who led Lin Qingyou to the outside of the island. It killed him, so even if Hou Dongsheng was not the direct murderer, he must have a lot to do with the demon sect; second, according to the survivors, the monk of the demon sect was a female cultivator, dressed in red, and cast black and red magic spells. The third is that there was a violent explosion on the open sea that day, and the flames burned above the sea and lasted for a long time, and its power was not inferior to the full blow of the Jindan real person of the Demon Flame Sect." Lin Huaibing simply investigated himself Tell everything you know.

After listening to Master Kong Hai, he pondered for a moment and said: "I have never heard of Hou Dongsheng, and don't ask me about the labyrinth formation. I have never seen this formation and know nothing about it. "

"Our Lin family can take Master Kong Hai to the Banshee Secret Realm. I believe that with your talents, you will be able to pass through the maze easily. As long as you can pass the maze, you can get a share of the treasure first." Lin Huaibing stood up and said with fists clenched.

"Hehehehe... Fellow Daoist Wang Baoyu and Xue Honglei have much higher conditions than Fellow Daoist Lin."

Lin Huaibing: "Wang's family and Xue's family also came to see Mr.?"

"Don't worry... I am not interested in the Banshee Secret Realm, and I have not agreed to any of your families. No matter what conditions you offer, I will not go to the Banshee Secret Realm." Haikong said with a gentle face.

Lin Huaibing: "A real person has a noble character, which is really admirable."

"Good character? Hehe...it has nothing to do with this. Everything in the world has a cause and effect. Why don't you think more about it, fellow Daoist Lin."

"Think about what?"

"Why does the banshee secret realm exist? It can't be a place dedicated to gifting treasures to the three of you."

"Forehead……"

Master Kukai: "Friend Daoist Lin...it's getting late, please go back."

Master Kong Hai gave the order to drive away the guests face to face, Lin Huaibing naturally didn't dare to say any more, she clasped her fists together, gave a deep salute and backed out.

After Lin Huaibing left, Master Kukai picked up the pieces on the chessboard one by one, moving slowly and carefully.

He could use Taoism to take away all the chess pieces in an instant, but he chose to use his hands, like a mortal, to pick up the chess pieces one by one.

The word patience is interpreted to the extreme.

Dang Kukai finished collecting all the chess pieces.

He sat down cross-legged, with a calm expression, as if he was listening to the dew, watching the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky.

After a long time.

Masato Kukai: "Come in."

I saw a little boy outside the door stepping in, cupping his fists and bowing to Master Kong Hai: "A casual cultivator named Hou Dongsheng solved the circumference of a circle."

"Oh... How many people does this person count?"

"Calculation of eight, the first six are correct, the last two real people didn't give the answer, and I don't know."

"How many can he count?"

"He said he could only work out eight digits."

"The difficulty of calculating the circumference of a circle doubles with each additional digit, and it is rare to be able to calculate 8 digits."

"By the way... this person is really called Hou Dongsheng? Then does he carry a big wine gourd?"

Xiao Daotong: "That's not true...but he begged a real person to refine the weapon, it seems that he wanted to refine a big wine gourd to make it big or small."

"It can be big or small, isn't it simple?"

Xiao Daotong: "He asked the gourd to hold living things."

"Oh...that's interesting."

"Does the real person want to see this person?"

"A person cannot stand without faith. Since this person can solve the odd circle calculation, it is natural to meet him."

Xiao Daotong: "Then I'll go and invite him in."

"Wait a minute!"

The real person in the sky pondered for a moment.

"You take him to Shawan, and let him wait for me at the stone platform in Shawan."

"Obey." Xiao Daotong bowed and left.

Empty sea island in heart shape.

The so-called sandy bay.

It is located in the heart-shaped recess.

Here is a bay.

On the beach is silver fine sand, extending from the shore to the sea.

Xiao Daotong with a smile on his face led Hou Dongsheng to Shawan.

Climb to the stone platform at Shawan.

There are pens, ink and white paper on the stone platform.

Xiaodaotong: "Friend Hou Daoist... This pass has transformed into a complete sphere that connects the inside and the outside."

Hou Dongsheng: "Are you finished? It's fine if Master Kukai doesn't want to see me."

Xiao Daotong hurriedly said with a smile: "Hou Daoyou... Master Kong Hai has agreed to see you, no matter whether you can solve this strange arithmetic problem, Master Kong Hai will meet you."

"I don't know how to do this."

Xiao Daotong: "You haven't solved it yet, so you say you can't?"

Hou Dongsheng: "..."

"Why don't you try it first." Xiao Daotong asked Hou Dongsheng to sit on the stone slab, and then retreated respectfully.

Looking at the pen, ink and white paper on the stone, Hou Dongsheng was silent for a long time.

It seems that no one has studied this before.

A complete sphere connected inside and outside is not a four-dimensional space, is it?
