Master National Teacher is motionless

Chapter 16

The Nine Layers Seven Sacred Gates?
Lin Lan thought to himself.

In fact, this is a very simple math problem.

It's like a maze that keeps forking.

There are only seven forks in the first pass, and the end of each road is the second pass, and each road will branch into seven forks, so there are 49 forks in the second pass.

And these fork roads will branch into seven fork roads in the third level, that is, 343 fork roads.

By analogy, at the ninth level, there are more than 4000 million roads—fortunately, the reminder on the wall has been calculated for him in advance.

With the human brain alone, it really can't be calculated in a short time.

There are more than 4000 million choices, and this Tianyuan Beppu can only see guests three times a day.

Theoretically, assuming that luck is particularly bad, all possibilities have been tried, and the correct path is found at the last time, it may take more than 3 years.

There is simply no way to live that long.

"I've tried it hundreds of times over the years."

Mo Tianshi shook his head slightly, and said: "But compared to the number of fake doors on the Nine Layers and Seven Sacred Roads, it's just a drop in the ocean. I'm afraid it won't be able to provide you with any experience."

"You actually tried hundreds of times?" Lin Lan glanced at Mo Tianshi.

"What if?"

Mo Tianshi sighed, and said: "I will try my luck, but if I really want to pass the Nine Layers and Seven Sacred Gates, I can only rely on the fortune-telling method of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil."

Lin Lan turned around and looked at the seven doors with the portraits of the Seven Saints hanging on them, and asked casually: "The practice world is so big, are there very few people who know how to deduce fortune-telling?"

"Of course less."

Mo Tianshi sighed: "Except for people like you who are gifted and born with supernatural powers, it is possible to obtain the ability to deduce fortune-telling, then only some beings who have escaped from the mundane world can practice this kind of thaumaturgy."

"Get out of the mortal world?" Lin Lan said casually, "Ascension?"

"Yes, such as Daozong's Ascension to Heaven."

Master Mo Tian said: "It is said in Taoism that man follows earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature. Among man's law, earth's law, and heaven's law, there is almost no thaumaturgy involving future fate. Only the Taoism controlled by heaven and man can touch this kind of thaumaturgy."

He paused, and then said: "The same is true for the Buddhist sect, and the demon sect is hated by the world. It is a dream to spy on the secrets of heaven. There is no such kind of thaumaturgy at all, but the natal supernatural power of Renzong may have magical powers." , it's still possible."

Lin Lan suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Tianshi, and asked, "The Taoist scripture? Is it from the Tao Te Ching that you said 'humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature'?"

"what?"

Mo Tianshi looked at Lin Lan with a little surprise, and said, "You have also heard of the highest general outline of Taoism? It seems that you are quite knowledgeable."

Lin Lan was silent for a while.

There is actually a Tao Te Ching in this world. Could it be that Tang Tianyuan, the ancestor of the traverser, carried it over?
But I haven't heard that Tang Tianyuan and Daozong have any close relationship. On the contrary, it can be said to be a hostile relationship. If it is Tang Tianyuan's work, Daozong shouldn't regard it as the highest general outline, right?
He thought for a while and asked, "Who is the author of the Tao Te Ching?"

Master Mo Tian glanced at him and said: "Since it is the highest general outline of Dao Sect, it is naturally written by Dao Patriarch."

Lin Lan didn't say anything, but he was a little puzzled.

It seems that Tao Te Ching already exists in this world, is this a coincidence of parallel worlds?
Or... is there something wrong with Daozu?
"What's wrong?" Mo Tianshi asked, "Is there any problem?"

"No."

Lin Lan shook his head, temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind, and walked towards the seven doors.

There are seven paintings hanging on the seven doors.

On the seven paintings, the seven characters 'qin, chess, book, painting, medicine, sword, and martial' can be seen respectively.

He took a special look at the qin saint 'Xiao Xuanxin' on the painting. This master of temperament 800 years ago is a handsome man sitting playing the qin.

It is said that the Qin Sage was relatively short-lived among the Seven Sages. He only lived for more than 200 years before passing away due to a heartbreak.

Among the Seven Saints, the longest-lived one was the Chess Master who showed up the least, and it is said that he lived for almost 500 years.

However, this also made Lin Lan even more puzzled.

Even the shortest of the seven disciples of the first generation of the national teacher lived for more than 200 years. How did the first generation of the national teacher himself die of illness after only living for 71 years?

This is too unreasonable.

The first national teacher more than 800 years ago, known as the best Taoist in the world, suppressed the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism and could only escape from the world. what.

In other words, the possibility of trying to resist has been cleared away.

Such a person has only lived for 71 years?
Incredible.

Forget it, maybe you'll know after entering Beppu... Lin Lan calmed down slowly.

"If you're not sure, just take your time."

The Demon Heavenly Master instructed from the side: "But remember, when you come to the door of the Imperial Teacher at the end, don't push the door directly, otherwise, if you make a mistake, you will surely die. Just knock on the door and try. Even if it is wrong, it will just move you out of Beppu."

Lin Lan glanced at him, but didn't speak, he already had an idea in his mind.

"There are three chances to enter Beppu every day. You can try it out slowly. It won't matter if we spend a few years here."

Mo Tianshi said: "Don't worry, I have prepared Bigu's medicine and food in my treasure bag, and I can build you a temporary residence outside the mansion for you to rest. Dongfu, you must have enough patience."

"Well, let's go in."

Lin Lan didn't say much, just walked forward, casually chose the Qinsheng Gate, pushed the door open, and walked in.

"The calculation is over?" Mo Tianshi slightly raised his eyebrows, and immediately followed Lin Lan into the door.

Even if he stays here, when Lin Lan finishes knocking on the door and is teleported out, he will also be moved out by the Beppu formation.

After crossing the threshold of the Qinsheng Gate, there is another passage made of white jade, but it is relatively narrow.

Walking along the passage to the depths, the passage also became narrower and wider, and when the two reached the end, it had become as wide as the previous passage.

And on the wall at the end of the passage, there are seven vermilion doors, with portraits of the seven saints hanging on the doors.

The same seven holy gates, this is the second pass of this road.

Lin Lan glanced at it calmly, then stepped up immediately, chose the 'Wu Sheng Gate' among them, pushed the door open and entered.

"So fast?" Mo Tianshi was startled.

But he could only follow Lin Lan into the second gate of the Martial Sage Gate. Anyway, as long as he reached the Guoshi Gate, don't push the door directly, but knock on the door first, and there will be no danger.

The second passage was also passed quickly, and they came to the Seven Sages Gate of the third pass.

Lin Lan just glanced at it, and chose the white-haired old man 'Yaosheng' who was dressed like an old farmer, walked forward and pushed open the door of the medicine saint.

"too fast……"

Mo Tianshi frowned slightly, he always felt that Lin Lan seemed to have no calculations, he just chose a door and went in.

Then there is the fourth pass, the Seven Sacred Gates.

Lin Lan glanced at it again, and then directly chose the portrait of the beautiful young woman who was painting Danqing, this is the saint of painting.

In the fifth pass, the Seven Sage Gates, Lin Lan chose the Sword Saint Gate.

The sixth pass, the seven holy gates...

The seventh pass, the seven holy gates...

The eighth pass, the seven holy gates...

Soon, Lin Lan brought Mo Tianshi to the ninth pass and the Seven Sacred Gates. He glanced at it again, then chose the Huasheng Gate again, pushed the door open and entered.

And Mo Tianshi is used to it, so he doesn't care much.

Even if Lin Lan's calculations were a little sloppy, he would have to try again if he failed. Anyway, he has a lot of patience.

After walking along this last passage for a while, I finally saw the end.

At the end of this passage, there is no Seven Sacred Gates.

Instead, there is only one door made of ebony wood, and there is only one portrait hanging on the door.

In the portrait, there is a back view of a man with his hands behind his back. The man is wearing a simple and elegant white robe, and he is raising his head slightly, as if he is staring at the sky.

Compared with the previous Seven Saints, this painting looks very ordinary.

In the lower right corner of the painting, the word "Guan Tian" is written.

"Guantian?" Lin Lan murmured.

Mo Tianshi stood behind him, and said softly: "I heard that the first generation of the national teacher often looked up at the sky, often looking at the sky for several days, and I don't know what he was looking at."

"Oh?"

Lin Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, but didn't think too much, and then walked to the last "National Teacher's Gate".

Mo Tianshi sighed, and said: "I know you should want to get familiar with this formation. After we are moved out, you can calculate it carefully. Anyway, there is still more time, so you can take it slowly..."

But before he finished speaking, he was taken aback for an instant, and a look of horror could not help showing on his face.

Because he saw with his own eyes——

What Lin Lan did after raising his hand was not to knock on the door to test.

Instead, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the gate of the national teacher! !
Mo Tianshi didn't expect that Lin Lan didn't knock on the door to try, but went up and pushed the door boldly, even he didn't have time to stop it!
it's over...

The thought just flashed through his mind.

He didn't have time to think about why Lin Lan did this, and he didn't have time to regret why he brought Lin Lan over so rashly. Even if he didn't go up to open the door, he wouldn't die, but if Lin Lan died, all his hopes would be in vain. up!
however--

Silently, this mysterious door, which has been covered in dust for hundreds of years, just opened to this world gently and quietly.

Nothing happened.
