As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

The director of the previous generation valued it, and his peers supported him. Shi Jian's position as the director was [-]% confirmed.

Among the Maoshan formations, the most outstanding ones are Yimei Daoist Lin Fengjiu and Ninth Uncle Lin Fengjiao.

Uncle Nine's desire for power is much weaker than that of his cousin Yimei Daoist, and it is basically impossible to compete, so the principal of the formation is also basically determined to be Yimei Daoist.

Taichang and Taoist Taoist Lin Zhengxing are the best in arithmetic. Taichang majors in arithmetic, and Taoist Taoist has a lot of knowledge, and he is similar to Ji Chunhua, he likes to run around all over the world, and the principal spends most of his time To stay in Maoshan.

Therefore, it is too common for the principal of Shusuan to not be surprised.

Daoist Qianhe wants to compete, but he is powerless. His competitiveness is obviously not as good as that of Mao Xiaofang. Not surprisingly, the next generation leader of the corpse-hunting line will be Mao Xiaofang.

As for the lineage of inviting the gods, it is too decayed, short and tall, so I can only choose the four-eyed Taoist. Just in time, he broke through to the state of refining Qi and transforming into a god, and he can be called a real person, which is not too embarrassing.

It stands to reason that this kind of competition should be tense.

But because the uncertainty is very small, everyone gathered together in a friendly manner.

"Uncle Fengjiao."

"Uncle One Eyebrow."

"Uncle Star Picking Master."

"Uncle Qianhe."

"Uncle Four Eyes."

…………

Anyone who knows each other, Gu Zhou will come forward to say hello.

"Uncle Taichang."

It was the first time that Gu Zhou met Granny Taichang.

Too often, the official in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple in the ancient imperial court ranked first among the nine ministers of the Han Dynasty, mainly in charge of the heaven and earth, gods, humans and ghosts for the establishment of a state.

Taichang's mother-in-law is named Taichang, which shows her cleverness.

"Strange, why is your past so empty? Even if it suddenly fell from the sky, I can't figure it out at all."

Too often looking at Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Taichang thinks that art is omnipotent?"

He was calm on the surface, but in fact he was quite shocked. In a sense, he had figured out his origin too often.

Traveling from modern times to the plane of the Republic of China is not like landing from the sky.

"Naturally, 650 million calculations are not omnipotent, and no one can count without omissions."

Tai Chang smiled, she should be older than Shi Jian, Daoist Yimei, Uncle Jiu and the others. She is over [-] years old, but there is no wrinkle on her face, and the strange thing is that her hair is white.

It can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young. If you ignore the white hair, people will believe that she is a woman in her 40s and [-]s who still has charm.

"Do you know the algorithm of Plum Blossom Easy Number?"

"I would like to hear the details." Gu Zhou nodded.

Too often but like playing a charade:

"A thing always has a body, and a body has a universe."

"Knowing all things is in me, and I am willing to put the three talents aside."

"Heaven divides good fortune into one center, and people make economics from their hearts."

"Immortals also have two kinds of words, and the truth is only in people."

Gu Zhou frowned.

Of Maoshan's five veins, the one with the lowest fighting power, but the most mysterious, ranks among the top five.

He has a little superficial understanding of art, and in his opinion, arithmetic is equivalent to fortune-telling.

"Uncle Taichang, forgive me for being stupid, I didn't understand."

Gu Zhou didn't bother to figure out what Taichang's Taoist poem meant.

At this time, Shi Jian's voice came.

"Gu Zhou, come here."

Gu Zhou cupped his hands and saluted: "Uncle Taichang, I'll go first.".

Chapter 256

"Go."

Tai Chang stared at Gu Zhou's back with great interest, turned his hand, and a small silver abacus appeared. Wood, fire in the south of Bingding, soil in the center of Wuji, gold in the west of Gengxin, and water in the north of Rengui."

And the twelve earthly branches and five elements of the zodiac "Zi Water Rat, Chou Earth Ox, Yin Wood Tiger, Mao Wood Rabbit, Chen Earth Dragon, Si Fire Snake, Wu Fire Horse, Wei Earth Sheep, Shen Jin Monkey, Unitary Golden Rooster, Xu Earth Dog, Hai Shui pig"

The entire abacus is engraved with complicated star patterns.

Maoshan Shusuan was born out of "Meihua Yishu", which belongs to the same line, and Meihua Yishu originated from Han Yi, which is a book of divination based on mathematics in Yixue and combined with "Xiangxue" in Yixue. When Shao Yong uses it, he must hit every hexagram, and he has been tried and tested repeatedly.

Plum Blossom Yishu is based on the theory of innate eight trigrams, that is, Gan [-], Dui [-], Li [-], Zhen [-], Xun [-], Kan [-], Gen [-], Kun [-], and hexagrams can be started anytime and anywhere.

It can be used to predict the development trend of all perceived things in nature or human society such as sound, orientation, time, movement, geography, weather, people, colors, animals and plants.

It is said that when Shao Yong entered the plum garden one day to enjoy the flowers, he happened to see two sparrows arguing on the branch, and then saw the two sparrows suddenly falling to the ground. Don't occupy if you don't move, and don't occupy if you don't do something. Now I see two sparrows fighting for no reason and falling to the ground. How strange!

I took it because I felt something was going on, and said: "Tomorrow, a neighbor's daughter will come to climb and break the plum blossoms. The gardener chases after her without knowing it. The neighbor's daughter fell from the plum tree in horror and hurt her thigh. It came true afterwards."

The inheritors believed that this hexagram case was special, and it was able to determine things irrelevant to the hexagram title, which was beyond the reach of other divination methods, so they named this method "Plum Blossom Yishu".

Not seeing any movement by Grandma Taichang, the palm-sized beads of the abacus jumped automatically, staring at the abacus, and muttering to herself: "Five numbers in Chennian, three numbers in March, seventeen numbers in seventeen days, a total of 34 numbers, except Four eight 32, Yu Er, belongs to Dui, and is the upper hexagram "¨."

"Nine numbers in Jiashen, the total number is 43, five eight divided by forty, and the remaining number is three, which is Li, and the next hexagram."

"Also count 43 from top to bottom, divide by six, six to seven is 42, and the remaining one is the moving line, which is for Ze Huo Ge."

"The first line becomes salty, and each sees dry sundae."

"Numbering four times in Maoshi, a total of 29 numbers is obtained, and the number of 24 is divided by three and eight, and the remaining five are Xun hexagrams. When the next hexagram is used, it is criticized by Tianfeng."

"Also count the total 29, divide it by six, four six 24, get five lines of movement, change the tripod hexagram, and see each other's important work!"

As soon as the palm is closed, the abacus has disappeared.

"It's strange, it's strange, the vitality is on him?"

Tai Chang looked puzzled.

The aura decays, and Maoshan actually has a sense of crisis. The Shusuan family wants to rely on their own arithmetic ability to find a way out for Maoshan, who knows that the more they count, the more desperate they become. It seems that the aura decay has become a definite number. The road ahead is dark, and Maoshan is in decline. Already doomed.

And just now, she habitually centered on Gu Zhou for a calculation, and she even found a trace of life.

But the decay of spiritual energy is the general trend of the world. All Taoism and Buddhism in the world are looking for a way out. At least until now, no one can reverse the general trend of the world.

It is this that makes her strange, no matter how evil Gu Zhou is, no matter how outstanding he is, he will only be the head of Maoshan in the future, how can He De reverse the general trend of the world?

Taichang looked at Gu Zhou again, and said to himself: "Perhaps, the way out really lies with him?"

…………

Shi Jian didn't call Gu Zhou there for anything else, but to take him to worship on the top of the mountain.

Longhushan Celestial Master Mansion, counting from Zhang Daoling as the first generation of celestial masters, has now been the 62nd generation of celestial masters.

And Maoshan counts in its own way.

Shi Jian, Ninth Uncle and the others are three generations of disciples of Maoshan, and Gu Zhou's generation is the fourth generation of disciples of Maoshan.

Master Shi Jian is a second-generation disciple, and Master Mao Shan is also a second-generation disciple, both around a hundred years old.

There is another generation of disciples on it, all over 100 years old, the oldest is over 150 years old, and the youngest is over 130 years old.

The entire Maoshan generation of disciples can only be counted with one hand.

Theoretically, there is no problem in refining Qi and transforming spirits to live one hundred and twenty-three to one hundred and fifty-six, but there will always be various accidents.

The most common is to die while subduing demons.

For example, Daoist Qianhe, without Gu Zhou, would have died at the hands of the royal zombies.

With Ji Chunhua's cultivation level, there is no problem in living to 160 years old, but he may die in the hands of the Millennium Zombie King in the future.

Some disciples of Maoshan died in this way.

There are also some people who will become obsessed with cultivation and die.

There are also Taoists like Zhaxing Taoist. Maybe he refined a elixir one day, and it is not impossible to eat himself to death.

For various reasons, there are only five disciples of Maoshan's first generation.

If this generation is completely resigned, then the generation of Master Maoshan will automatically be promoted to the first generation of disciples, and the generation of Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu will be promoted to the second generation of disciples.

"`ˇThis is Master Master, your Master, the person in charge of the talisman lineage."

Shi Jian brought Gu Zhou to an old man who looked like he was in his sixties, but was actually an octogenarian.

"The disciple has met the master."

With a solemn expression, Gu Zhou tidied up his clothes, stood upright in his crown and clothes, clasped his hands into fists, the tiger's mouth intersected, his left hand was on his right, like a yin and yang figure making a bow.

To be honest, Master Master Xuan Chen is the most immortal person Gu Zhou has ever met in the Republic of China. He has a crown and a broad belt, a simple and elegant face, and a generous Taoist robe. Although he is nearly 90 years old, he is still tall and stalwart. , without a trace of rickety (Wang Li's) hunchback feeling, the whole person has the air of a recluse who is out of the dust and elegant.

Taoist Xuanchen looked at Gu Zhou, with a smile on his lips: "Not bad, not bad, really good, Shi Jian, taking Gu Zhou as your apprentice is the right thing you have done in your life."

Gu Zhou has never seen such a pair of eyes, it seems that he has nothing to do with the world, looking at them, it is like looking at another world that has nothing to do with this world, as if they can remain at a certain mysterious level forever In it, there is a huge and unparalleled power in it.

The calm and elegant gaze reveals frankness and sincerity, even a little childish innocence.

With his quaint and slender face, there is a kind of charm beyond the world.

"Master has won the award."

Master Xuan Chen gave such a straightforward compliment, even if Gu Zhou had a thick skin like a city wall, he blushed a little.

But he smiled and said, "I have never told a lie in my life."

Chapter 257

Shi Jian led Gu Zhou to meet the principals of the other four veins, namely Dalong Daoist of the formation lineage, Yiming real man of the Shushu lineage, Tiancheng real man of the corpse-expelling lineage, and Danyang real man of the god lineage.

The youngest is also in his 80s, and the oldest Daoist Danyang is 99 years old. He went mad 20 years ago. Although he saved a life, he left a hidden injury and lost a lot of life. At least 30 years older than the other principals.

In the end, Shi Jian went to pay homage to the largest mountain in Maoshan. It is said that he is currently the person with the strongest cultivation and strength in Maoshan—the head teacher of Maoshan!

"Headmaster."

Shi Jian bowed slightly.

Gu Zhou also saluted.

"Shi Jian, Gu Zhou, you are here."

Meng Yingqing looked over, but it was a man around 40 years old, who looked like a star and moon, with a gentle expression, and said:

"Shi Jian, you are only one step away from breaking through."

Shi Jian felt a little helpless: "A person who travels hundreds of miles is half to ninety, even if it is only one step away from refining the gods to return to the void, I am not very sure, maybe on the day when I sit down, I will still be one step away from breaking through. "

"The general trend of the world is like this, it is really difficult to reverse."

Meng Yingqing shook her head slightly, and changed the topic: "Gu Zhou, you step back first, I will have a few words with your master."

Gu Zhou nodded in agreement.

Meng Yingqing pondered for a while, and said, "The 650 Office reported something to me just now, about Gu Zhou."

Shi Jian's face darkened: "Too often, this old problem can't be changed! When you see someone, you have to count!"

Meng Yingqing smiled and said: "She didn't mean anything malicious, this calculation, on the contrary, calculated the vitality of my Maoshan."

Shi Jian looked angry: "What do you mean? Too often, my Maoshan's vitality is tied to Gu Zhou's body? How can he be able to bear the burden of Maoshan? Master, I won't say much else, since his apprentice , I don’t allow others to do things to my apprentice, too often if they do things in private, don’t blame me for turning my face and denying others!”

Meng Yingqing raised her hand and said in a lukewarm tone: "Shi Jian, don't rush to protect the calf, do you think I am a cold-blooded and ruthless person who only cares about Maoshan's interests and disregards the life and death of his disciples?"

Shi Jian also calmed down: "Headmaster, I didn't mean that, it's too often unbelievable."

"Taichang just figured out the vitality of Maoshan in Gu Zhou. As for the specifics, no one knows."
