I studied abroad in modern times

Zheng Fa looked at the pattern pointed by the old man.

It's not quite right to say it's a pattern, it's part of a three-dimensional figure.

In fact, as Old Man Bai said, this is a structure, and it is a partial structure - if you want to make an analogy, it is probably like a radical of a Chinese character.

It's just that each of these graphics is three-dimensional and much more complicated than Chinese characters on a flat surface.

Zheng Fa scrolled the mouse and moved other symbols to the screen.

Sure enough, at least in this result, most of the runes have this structure, and there is only one.

"Water element..."

Zheng Fa pondered, this result could easily point to a conjecture——

The five-element classification of runes depends on whether there is such a small structure.

It is not yet certain whether this conjecture is correct, but at least it gave Zheng Fa a way to analyze the runes.

"Look at the runes of metal, wood, fire and earth!"

Zheng Fa passed the other five elements runes to Han Xiaobai.

He looked at the sky and apologized: "It's a bit late, sorry for bothering you."

"Late?" Han Xiaobai quickly typed: "You know nothing about cultivating immortals."

...I do know a little bit about this.

Old Man Bai stopped yawning and was full of energy. He stood beside Zheng Fa and studied the previous water runes with him.

Some runes could not be seen to have this structure at first, but after the topology changed, the similar faces gradually emerged.

Zheng Fa drew the structure on paper and wrote the word "water" on the side.

"The more I look at this thing, the more interesting it becomes... You said before that the runes are the movement trajectories of spiritual energy?" Old Man Bai suddenly said.

"One of my senior sisters said it." Zheng Fa shook his head: "But I think it makes sense."

At least judging from the fact that the "Rule Dao Foundation Building Method" can speed up his practice, the essence of the runes is indeed spiritual energy.

"Different motion trajectories have different effects." Old Man Bai shook his head: "I can't understand it."

Zheng Fa nodded and asked two questions:

"Apart from this structure, what are the other parts of this rune used for?"

"Are the Yin and Yang attributes also a structure?"

"..." Old Man Bai was stunned when he heard this. He glanced at Zheng Fa, looking a little innocent: "I didn't know, I'm just a bad old man. I've never even seen what aura is like!"

No, your status in the Xuanwei world is quite high!

I don't know how long it took, but after Tang Lingwu's cell phone rang three times, the other side sent over the analysis results of other runes.

What makes the three of them a little regretful is that the algorithm is probably not accurate enough, or the number of samples in the other four lines is not enough.

They only found structures corresponding to the element of earth.

The other three lines did not produce the results they expected.

"To have such a discovery today can be regarded as luck." Seeing Tang Lingwu who was a little disappointed, Zheng Fa comforted him: "These things are not urgent, just continue tomorrow night."

He kept his eyes open.

Doing research requires patience.

What's more, if you are not careful, you will be able to cultivate immortality for hundreds or even thousands of years.

There is really no rush.

Tang Lingwu nodded slowly. She looked at her phone, said hello to the two of them, and walked downstairs.

Zheng Fa's hearing is now far beyond ordinary people's. He can clearly hear Tang Lingwu's gradually fainter footsteps as she goes down the stairs, and can hear the sound of the engine starting when she gets into the car.

What he heard more clearly was her mother's loud scolding when Tang Lingwu came downstairs.

And Tang Lingwu remained silent without saying a word.

…

The next day, classroom.

After the physics class, Zheng Fa put away the test papers handed out by the teacher and took out a problem book to read.

See, not do.

He now has the confidence not to write down questions at this stage of high school - after reading most of the questions, he roughly knows what the question maker wants to test, what method can be used to solve them, and then looks at the answers.

If there are no problems, you can pass the question.

Zheng Fa feels that his time is getting less and less day by day.

The time that can be left to study high school knowledge is actually very limited-that is, the time in class plus recess.

So he now chooses this relatively less time-consuming method.

But this does not mean that he has given up on the college entrance examination. On the contrary, his goal is higher than before.

He told Lao Chen before that he wanted to take the exam at Jiangnan University.

Now he wants to get admitted to Beijing University.

To establish a cultivation laboratory, you must go to a place where there are more top talents - in modern society, most people have only a few opportunities to come into contact with top talents in various disciplines.

Getting into a good college is probably the easiest thing to do.

Most people don't even realize that a teacher you met in college may be the pinnacle of your network.

"Zheng Fa?"

Wang Chen called him softly from behind.

"Huh?" Zheng Fa turned his head slightly and looked at Wang Chen.

"...You got a perfect score on that paper just now, right?"

Wang Chen looked at Zheng Fa.

"Yeah." Zheng Fa nodded lightly.

He is indeed somewhat talented in physics, at least in high school physics.

Nowadays most of the physics exams are done first in the class.

"Then you don't have a break during class?" Wang Chen curled his lips, pointed at the countdown sign at the door, and complained: "I don't even see anxiety when I look at that thing now!"

Zheng Fa: "..."

Tang Lingwu suddenly walked over from the front row, holding a thick notebook in her hand.

"Um?"

"I took a look during class and seemed to have discovered the common structure of the golden runes."

Tang Lingwu placed the notebook in front of Zheng Fa, opened it, and said softly.

Zheng Fa suddenly felt a little envious when he thought of this man's privilege of not attending lectures.

He flipped through the notebook handed over by Tang Lingwu, which was filled with densely packed runes.

Every symbol in the book is neatly arranged in rows.

Seems very obsessive-compulsive friendly.

On each runic diagram, Tang Lingwu made a small circle, and there was indeed the same structure inside.

He looked at the blue-black color in Tang Lingwu's eyes, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "When did you go to bed yesterday?"

He suspected that this girl stayed up late last night doing this.

Tang Lingwu didn't answer. She waved her hand towards him, flicked her ponytail, and staggered to her seat - then she lay down on the desk and started to take a nap.

"What's this?"

Wang Chen didn't know when he quietly walked up to Zheng Fa and pointed to the talisman diagram in the notebook with curiosity.

"...It's hard for me to explain to you."

Zheng Fa thought for a while and said to Wang Chen.

"..." Wang Chen touched his chin, looked at Zheng Fa, and then at Tang Lingwu, with a hint of realization on his face: "It has to be you two!"

"?"

Wang Chen patted Zheng Fa on the shoulder and said with some envy: "A top student is a top student, and he is so good at falling in love!"

Zheng Fa looked at Wang Chen, who was beaming with joy, and always felt that the other person was thinking of something extraordinary: "What on earth are you talking about?"

"I've watched a lot of spy wars! Is this a code book?" Wang Chen pointed at the notebook in Zheng Fa's hand and said, "You two are engaged in encrypted communication now?"

"...You're overthinking." Zheng Fa looked at Wang Chen and didn't know what this man's brain was like.

At this time, a head with a built-in flashlight poked out from behind Wang Chen.

Wang Chen's face turned pale, and he watched Lao Chen first look at himself, and then his eyes fell on the notebook.

"show me."

Old Chen stretched out his hand toward Zheng Fa and said.

He looked at the densely packed runes on it, touched his chin, looked down at Zheng Fa, and then at Tang Lingwu, a flash of realization flashed across his face...

Zheng Fa always felt that he had just seen this expression.

Lao Chen didn't say anything to Zheng Fa. Instead, he placed the notebook in front of Zheng Fa and gave him a meaningful look.

Watching Old Chen leave, Wang Chen patted Zheng Fa on the shoulder and asked, "Do you think Old Chen is overthinking?"

"..."

Old man Bai's house.

Hearing that Tang Lingwu had discovered a structure related to gold, Old Man Bai couldn't help but look at the girl in surprise.

"It seems about right."

After verifying the golden runes classified by Senior Sister Zhang one by one, Old Man Bai nodded.

Zheng Fa glanced at Tang Lingwu.

The girl still looked tired, but there was a relieved smile on her face.

Old man Bai seemed to have noticed her expression, and turned his head to take a deep look at Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

Han Xiaobai on the other side of the computer also modified the algorithm.

Some things are easier once you know what to look for.

An hour later, the five structures symbolizing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth appeared on the screen.

Several people tried again to find the structure of yin and yang, only to find that yin and yang seemed to be different from the five elements - at least they couldn't find it in this way.

Zheng Fa randomly dragged five patterns in the software, making the five patterns change their orientation and orientation, as if he was piecing together something.

"What are you doing?"

Zheng Fa did not speak, but looked at the screen and operated slowly.

"Yes!"

On the computer screen, these five structures suddenly formed a whole.

Earth connects to metal, metal connects to water, water connects to wood, wood connects to fire, and fire connects to earth.

"Um?"

Old man Bai was stunned and looked at the computer screen.

"You thought before that this was a whole?"

"No, I got the inspiration from the runes in my body."

Today he specifically observed the upright shadowless talisman and the frost blade talisman condensed in his dantian. They have been next to each other since they were condensed.

Only today did he discover that the two parts next to each other were the two structures that symbolized "earth" and "water", and they were combined to form a new pattern.

This gave him a guess as to whether these five structures could be combined with each other.

"Are these five things actually one?" Old Man Bai frowned.

Zheng Fa nodded, opened the notebook in front of him, and wrote a very simple sentence: The five-element attributes of a talisman are determined by a certain special structure. This structure can be called a five-element talisman, and the five-element talisman can be combined individually. into a whole.

Old Man Bai was stunned for a moment when he looked at this line of words, and then he laughed: "You are trying to write a law."

He seemed to see Zheng Fa's hidden ambition.

Zheng Fa shook his head and said: "It still needs to be verified, but when it is really proven, I want to give it this name."

Above this line he wrote eight words.

"The first law of Bai's Talisman."

"Ah?" Old Man Bai pointed at himself: "Name it after me?"

"The biggest credit here is your old age." Zheng Fa said with a smile.

"Ahem, this is the collective wisdom and collective wisdom of the three of us."

"Then let me change my name?" Zheng Fa expressed his intention to change his name.

"Forget it, this name is pretty nice!" The old man hurriedly stopped Zheng Fa, looked at the line of words and smiled foolishly for a long time, and suddenly felt a little emotional: "I have been doing mathematics for a lifetime and have not left any reputation. If there is such a law, I am afraid I will die without regrets."

It sounds like he didn't take this thing seriously.
