Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 247 Evaluation of the National Teacher

Gu Xu pointed to the formation diagram on the table, and explained it over and over again, so that the Grand Master of Qi barely understood the operating principle of this "gossip logic circuit".

On the one hand, the local residents of the Great Qi Dynasty were not accustomed to the binary calculation method; on the other hand, the lines of this array looked messy and dense, without any aesthetic feeling, completely inconsistent with the established norms of the Great Wilderness, enough to make all the pursuit of " Symmetrical beauty" obsessive-compulsive disorder teacher went crazy on the spot.

The national teacher lowered his head and squinted his eyes. While listening to Gu Xu's narration, he moved his fingers slowly along the lines in the array, trying to figure out the trajectory of the flow of true energy.

But after a few minutes, his thoughts seemed to be lost in this formation - he found that he could not understand this unusual formation with the experience of drawing talisman formations in the past decades.

"How did this young man's brain grow?" The national teacher took a deep breath, looked at Gu Xu's thin and handsome face, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart, "Why did he think of such an unconventional and mysterious talisman?" Array?"

For a moment, he doubted that Gu Xu's mind had been enlightened by God himself.

In recent years, especially after the death of Chi Yangzi, the national teacher has always hoped to find a talented young talisman master to be his successor and inherit his mantle.

But he has not been able to meet the right person for a long time—either the qualifications are not enough, or the character is lacking, or the philosophy is not the same... No one has ever completely satisfied him.

Until not long ago, when he saw the talisman seal drawn by Gu Xu on the "Shenji Token", which was used to break Kongxuan Sanren's heavenly secret shielding spell, he felt a long-lost heartbeat.

The national teacher thought that he had finally found the genius apprentice he had dreamed of.

However, when he read the talisman on the "Shenji Token" rewritten by the true meaning of "Yingyan" several times, he discovered that Gu Xu's understanding of the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" , much deeper than myself.

"I'm not worthy to be his teacher." At that time, Master Guo sighed, and such an idea came to his mind.

But at this moment, when he saw Gu Xu's "Bagua Logic Circuit Diagram", he felt that this young man's achievements in talisman and seal art would far surpass himself in the future, and he would become a school of his own. Among the ranks of masters.

After a long period of silence, the national teacher couldn't help but asked Gu Xu: "Gu Xiaoyou, why did you think of such an unconventional way of thinking?"

Gu Xu was silent for a moment.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't tell the national teacher that what he thought of was a thing called "computer"!

He smiled and replied: "Maybe it's because I also have some understanding of the technique of gossip divination! In the process of solving this problem today, I got some inspiration from it."

The national teacher nodded and approved Gu Xu's statement.

He knew that Gu Xu was a person who mastered many kinds of Taoism and was good at integrating them.

…………

After another hour, Shen Qiu finally drew his own talisman array.

At this moment, he only felt that his eyes were blurry, his back was sore and his back hurt, and the hand holding the pen was sore.

Even if he closes his eyes, he still feels that there are countless messy lines dangling in front of his face like little bugs, making his head extremely dizzy.

He rubbed his temples, trying to relax his tense nerves.

Then he raised his head and looked to the left and right.

At this time, Mo Li was still sitting in his own seat in a daze, turning the writing brush in his hand, with an agitated expression, like a frog thrown into boiling water—if it wasn’t because his cousin, Dean Li, was still supporting him outside, Many students of Longmen Academy were still cheering for him outside. I am afraid that he had long wanted to smash the thick stack of documents on the table to the ground, and then choose to abstain.

As for Zhao Xinran, he was still earnestly instructing the boy in black to do arithmetic.

Looking at her gloomy expression, it was obvious that she was quite impatient with the dull behavior of the boy in black, and she even wished to kick him away and calculate the expenses of the "Luoshui Conference" by herself.

"Looking at it now, at least I'm No. 2 in this session," Shen Qiu jumped off his seat, stretched, and thought silently, "Although I can't compare to Mr. Defeating long-established talisman masters like Mo Li and Zhao Xinran...compared to the group of people in the family, it's not too embarrassing."

At this moment, a ray of light flashed, and the Grand Master of Qi appeared in front of Shen Qiu out of thin air.

"Have you figured out the result?" The national teacher asked lightly.

"Yes, my lord." Shen Qiu bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

While speaking, he did not forget to take two steps back, so that the national teacher could stand in front of the table and clearly see the appearance of the formation.

Following Shen Qiu's thought, the array on the table glowed with colorful lights; then, these lights condensed into clear projections, showing the initial data on the file with lines arranged horizontally and vertically.

"Calculation?" Da Qi Guoshi is well-informed, and he recognized Shen Qiu's thinking to solve the problem at a glance, "Do you want to use the form of calculation to present the data that needs to be used in the calculation process?"

"That's right." Shen Qiu nodded and admitted.

In the next few minutes, the lines formed by the colored rays of light flickered and changed regularly according to the law of counting.

The national teacher watched intently, without any expression on his face, nor did he express any opinions.

This made Shen Qiu feel a little nervous.

The time of 120 breaths has passed.

The illusion finally stopped changing.

The national teacher glanced at the horizontal and vertical lines that were finally frozen in the air, and nodded.

Without Shen Qiu opening his mouth to explain, he knew that this was the correct answer.

"You've done a good job," the national teacher smiled and commented, "It's really beyond my expectation to think of combining counting chips and magic circles to solve this problem.

"This is enough to prove that you are a young man with a flexible mind and good flexibility."

In the eyes of the national teacher, Shen Qiu's way of solving problems is undoubtedly extremely outstanding.

Shen Qiu was able to think of the counting method of "counting chips", which was almost eliminated among the people, and integrated it into the phantom array - purely from the perspective of creativity, it has already surpassed 90.00% of the nine talisman masters in the Great Qi Dynasty.

If Gu Xu Zhuyu hadn't been in front of him, the national teacher would definitely have looked at Shen Qiu's performance today with admiration.

It's a pity that the national teacher saw Gu Xu's "Gossip Logic Circuit Diagram" first.

That formation map was drawn by Gu Xu standing on the shoulders of the giants of the previous life - it not only reflects Gu Xu's talent in talisman, but also shows the wisdom of countless ancestors on the earth.

This shocked the national teacher, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

His appreciation threshold has naturally been greatly increased.

In addition, Gu Xu's talisman array only took the blink of an eye to calculate the result, but Shen Qiu's talisman array took a full 120 breaths of time.

Therefore, when facing Shen Qiu's formation design, although the national teacher praised him again and again, the emotions deep in his heart did not fluctuate at all.

"It turns out that there is such a big gap between geniuses." The national teacher thought so.

At the same time, Shen Qiu was also carefully observing the expression of the national teacher.

As the bastard of a wealthy family, his heart is much more sensitive than ordinary people, and he has learned the ability to observe words and expressions since he was a child.

He noticed earlier that when the national teacher talked to Gu Xu, he used an attitude of admiration and asking for advice - obviously he no longer regarded Gu Xu as a junior, but put him on an equal position.

But now, when the national teacher talks to himself, he still looks like an authoritative teacher, examining his work with a condescending attitude.

Shen Qiu sighed lightly.

His self-confidence took another hit.

…………

Another half an hour passed.

The boy in black next to Zhao Xinran finally got the correct calculation result after repeatedly making mistakes three times.

At this moment, on his face, there is already an expression that life would be worse than death.

Zhao Xinran waved his hand irritably, and the boy disappeared in an instant, turning back into a still portrait on white paper.

"It's really stupid." She looked down at the portrait and said lightly.

She is the most experienced and famous talisman teacher among the four.In this session, she was also the first to find a solution to the problem by virtue of her rich experience.

If it wasn't for this young servant being too stupid, how could she lag behind the two young juniors in terms of time spent?
At this time, the national teacher suddenly appeared beside her.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Yes, my lord." Zhao Xinran replied respectfully, pointing to the results written by the boy in black.

The national teacher looked in the direction she was pointing at, then nodded, expressing approval of the answer.

"The technique of 'Energizing Eyes' is really exquisite," the national teacher commented after a moment of silence, "Not long ago, I thought it was almost lost, but I didn't expect that there are still several talisman masters who have mastered this side door." spell.

"It's just that, in today's situation, I actually hope that you can come up with a more original solution to solve this problem."

"Ingenuity?" Zhao Xinran frowned slightly, and couldn't help but ask the national teacher, "Master national teacher, didn't you say before that we should use the existing talismans in the books as much as possible instead of using them freely?" ?”

She is a veritable talisman master in Luojing City.If she wants to play freely and create freely, she believes that other candidates are absolutely impossible to be her opponents.

"Using the talisman seals in the book is not the same as copying them completely," the national teacher smiled and explained patiently, "The yin and yang gossip used by Gu Xu and the magic circle used by Shen Qiu can also be found in the book. source. However, they can make adjustments and adaptations in light of reality.

"The talisman array they drew is the answer I want to see.

"Also, don't you think that the calculation speed of the boy you created with the technique of 'eye-touching' is really too slow?"

Zhao Xinran stopped talking.

Gu Xu's talisman array can get the calculation result in the blink of an eye.

But the time spent by this stupid black-robed boy needs to be calculated by "hours", and he has made three consecutive miscalculations.

After the figure of the national teacher disappeared, she picked up the portrait of the black-robed boy on the table and tore it into pieces.

…………

As for Mo Li, after the competitors had calculated the results, he finally ended the long torment, took a deep breath, and chose to give up.

When he walked out of the room, he lowered his head and his face was particularly gloomy, which was completely different from the happy and high-spirited mood at the end of the first session.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to look up at the academy students who were cheering him on, nor did he dare to look at his cousin - Li Zheng, the dean of Longmen Academy who had high hopes for him.

"Hey, if they know that I sat in the 'Si Qi Tang' for several hours and didn't draw the last half of the runes, they must be very disappointed with me!" Mo Li thought silently in his heart.

Because of this, after he went out, he deliberately found a path that few people pass by on weekdays, tried to pass through the grass and trees, and hid in a place where no one was around.

However, he obviously underestimated how much the academy students paid attention to him.

He hadn't gone far when a few students rushed over, gathered around him, and asked curiously:
"Senior Brother Mo, how did you perform today?"

"Senior brother Mo, how is the level of the Exorcist's Talisman? Is it half as high as yours?"

"Senior Brother Mo, have you shown yourself to the boy from the Exorcist Division and let him see how powerful our Longmen Academy is?"

"..."

These young students all had enthusiastic smiles on their faces, and they obviously had sincere blessings and high expectations for Mo Li.

But now, after Mo Li was brutally beaten by reality, he felt that their words were full of irony—like flies in the latrine, buzzing and making noise to his annoyance.

"Can you shut up?" He turned his head and yelled at these people irritably.

But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.

The students looked at him, then at each other, and then dispersed, talking in low voices at the same time:

"Senior Brother Mo's complexion looks terrible, did he perform very badly in today's assessment?"

"Could it be...he was beaten up by that boy from the Exorcist Division?"

"It looks very likely!"

"Well, I thought Senior Brother Mo was the hope of our academy, but I didn't expect him to be vulnerable... It seems that his title of 'Genius of Talisman of Talisman' is just a false name after all... If there is no dean as a cousin , he is not much stronger than us at all..."

"Let's not deny someone so easily, at least Brother Mo's endorsement is still very good..."

"..."

These words naturally fell into Mo Li's ears.

He lowered his head, quickened his pace, and quickly moved away from the crowd.

…………

At the same time, Gu Xu came to the dining hall of Longmen Academy.

According to the arrangement of the National Teacher, the third part of the assessment will start in half an hour.

He still has plenty of time to taste the food in the academy.
