Collect crowd into immortals

Chapter 107
Inside the farmyard.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Zengwen told his ancestor Chen Guting about his achievements:
"Old Ancestor, my grandson has recently developed a new method of Kaiping, please enlighten me."

"The new Kaiping method?"

Hearing these words, the patriarch Chen Guting immediately urged: "Come on Zengwen quickly!"

Isn't this the purpose of his visit to Jingnancheng this time? He is naturally very happy to see new methods.

His curious look made Chen Zengwen, who was about to show off, full of confidence. The old man didn't hesitate, and directly put the calculation aside, and began to demonstrate.

"The so-called square root means finding the side of the power of the square.

"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" has a saying: The product is the truth.Borrow a calculation, take a step, surpass the first class.In discussing the income, it is calculated by multiplying and borrowing one by one, and by dividing...

But the new law of grandson is different, it is obtained by multiplying the quotient and sending it out.

business first.The number obtained from the upper business is multiplied by the lower method.Order Shangshang to eliminate reality.The number obtained from the above business is multiplied into the power by the method below.Once you retreat, you will be honest, and you will retreat again after disposing of the law.

business second.The number of commercials is based on the multiplication method.Order Shangshang to remove the facts.The above business multiplies and the next method enters the corner, and they are all called Lian.Once retreated, retreat again in order to seek the third quotient.

Shang ranked third.The usage is as in the second place. "

"Take 820 four as an example.

The first step: estimate the business.It is estimated that the merchant is two, and the hundred is placed.

The second step: update Lian.Shangshang two multiplies the next method one, the number two is the number two, and it is cheap.

Step [-]: Update the real...

At this time, if the new value is not zero, it indicates that the prescription should be continued.

Step [-]: Update again...

Step [-]: Update the rules and regulations...

Step [-]: Repeat the above steps with the current 'down', 'cheap' and 'real' to obtain the next quotient until the real value is zero. "

While explaining, Chen Zengwen also demonstrated calculations with calculation chips.

After continuing the calculation for another round, in the third round, after step three, the calculation chip shows that the new value is zero.

At this point, the calculation terminates.

But before the old man could say the answer, Chen Changzhi beside him had quietly read out the number on the counting chip, "260!"

After finishing speaking, he quietly calculated in his mind and found that the square of 260 was exactly 820.It is exactly the same as the square root of the number before, not missing one digit!
But Chen Changzhi could feel that the method used by the old man this time was much simpler than what he learned from "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

At least, he thought so.

Just when he was thinking a lot in his mind, he saw the old man said again: "The 'six-strand seven' mentioned by the ancestor before can actually be solved by this method. If you hook six-strand seven, the string is 85. Now it is required chord, you only need to carry out the square root of 85.

If the nine directions are 81 and the ten directions are one hundred, then the upper quotient is estimated to be nine and set as one.

At this time, Lian Wei..."

After about a cup of tea, the calculation came to an end, and Chen Changzhi read out the numbers on the chips: "Nine, two, one, nine, five, four, four."

As soon as the words were finished, Mr. Chen Zengwen corrected him: "The single digit is nine, it should be nine and two cents, one centimeter, nine cents, five silks, four suddens and four micros."

"Yes, yes! It should be nine and two points, one centimeter, nine millimeters, five strands, four sudden and four microscopic points!"

Chen Changzhi nodded repeatedly.

The moment he nodded, he noticed another phenomenon, that is, the new reality at this time is not zero. He has just seen the whole calculation process and he naturally understands, what does this represent?
This means that the calculation process can continue.

Until the new reality is completely zero.

However, because the current number is already very small and there are already enough digits, there is no need to continue the calculation for the time being.

But Chen Changzhi can be sure that if necessary, the old man can even continue to expand this number to hundreds or even thousands of people within a day.

If this number really has no end.

At the same time he was aware of this, he also noticed that although the result was exactly the same as before, with nine and so many threads, the old man took only about half of the time before.

Such a fast time, even if it is ruled out that the old man is more familiar with his own method and is better at it, this is enough to show the superiority of the new method.

You know, this is half the time!
What's more, this new method is so simple.

As long as you remember those six steps, you don’t have to think about it, you can directly extract any number.

Open as many seats as you want!
Such a simple and easy-to-learn method, relying on these two examples, Chen Changzhi even felt that he had already learned it and was able to perform calculations independently.

The moment he had this idea, he also felt admiration for the old man.

You must know that when he was learning the square root, he was tossed by the other party for a long time. If he had this method at that time, wouldn't it save more than half of the time.

He could understand all of these, and Chen Guting, who came to investigate, naturally wouldn't be dizzy.

Even the old man may see better than his nephew.

Because the method used by the other party is [-]% similar to what he learned from the "Five Elements Calculation".It can even be said that what he is using now is only a revised version of this method, an upgraded version.

This naturally made Chen Guting excited.

What is the "Five Elements Sutra"? It is one of the most widely circulated sutras in the cultivation world. Now, a commoner in my family has deduced one of the methods just by relying on wisdom. A more advanced and more convenient algorithm, but he was also full of emotion.

Yes there is!But those are not from his family, and he doesn't even have a place to study.

What's the use?
Thinking of this, Chen Guting could no longer restrain the excitement in his heart, "Does this method have a name?"

"Already! My grandson calls it 'Zengcheng Kaiping Method'."

(In fact, it is the opening method invented by Jia Xian, a mathematician in the Northern Song Dynasty - the multiplication and Kaiping method)
"Zengcheng Kaiping method? Good name, good method! Zengwen, you really made the ancestors overjoyed!"

Chen Guting was very excited.

Before he came, he still had doubts about what his nephew Qingxuan said, but at this moment, he completely believed it in his heart, and believed that mortals could really create the sutras.

Take the grandnephew in front of him as an example. He is now good enough to be his comrade!

Although it is only arithmetic, this is already remarkable.

You must know that there are more than 100 monks and a dozen formation masters in the Chen family of Lianhu Island, and only the ancestor Chen Cuncheng and the 25th brother Chen Gumin can be his fellows.This is true whether it is formation or arithmetic.

Others are simply not qualified!

Now that there is one more for no reason, he is naturally overjoyed.

With this grandnephew, if a few other people are added, wouldn't he immediately be able to get together the fellows of "Shen Wu Fa".

Even if the other people are a little bit at the top and can't even count, the Chen family has four mortal cities, which is enough for him.

At this moment, Chen Guting even had a faint feeling that this number was not only enough, but even far exceeded.

Beyond good!The more people, the better!

The more people there are, the more new algorithms and new ideas will be born.In this way, the Chen family's formation level can improve by leaps and bounds.

You must know that whether it is comprehending the formation map or calculating the position when arranging the formation, a large number of algorithms are needed to support it.

Whoever has a better algorithm and higher calculation efficiency will naturally arrange the formation faster;
In the same way, whoever's algorithm is easier to learn and understand, will naturally be able to learn and master the corresponding array faster.It is even easier to train more formation masters.

From this perspective, arithmetic is actually the soul of a formation master.

Now, the Chen family seemed to have found an important solution to this soul. For a moment, Chen Guting's peaceful mind began to set off a huge wave.

Just like this, he is still a master of arithmetic who has grown up naturally. If the Chen family helps them with all their strength and trains them with all their strength, what will happen?

Will there be dozens of them popping up every year?even more?
Just as the old man's heart was racing, a rapid coughing sound came from his ears.

cough! cough!
Chen Guting turned his head to look, only to see that the old woman who was watching the excitement just now was hunched over, hitting her chest with a light hammer.

But even so, the cough did not slow down by half.

"Grandma, Bao'er will beat you too."

Beside the old woman, the grandson was about to start with his little hand raised, but even if he stood on tiptoe and stretched his hand upward, he still couldn't reach grandma's back.

For a moment, the little guy's anxious eyes were filled with mist.

With his pitiful appearance, the distressed Li Jiawen quickly hugged him up, "Come on, auntie will help you!"

"Thank you auntie!"

The little guy yelled loudly, then came behind grandma and slapped her back.

While beating his back, he comforted him: "Grandma is good, take medicine on time and rest more, so that you can get better soon!"

"Okay, okay! Ahem!"

When grandma heard this, she laughed twice and then started coughing again.

Seeing this, Chen Zengwen hurried into the room to get the medicine, but at this moment, Chen Guting stretched out his hand to his nephew, "Chang Zhi, Qi and Blood Pill!"

"oh oh!"

Chen Changzhi was taken aback, and immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from the storage bag, and handed it to Uncle Wu.

After Chen Guting took it, he handed it to his niece and daughter-in-law next to him, and took Bao'er as well.

"Jiawen, here you are to help with the refining! Just leave Bao'er to your fifth uncle."

"it is good!"

After receiving the elixir, Li Jiawen didn't hesitate and poured out a brown Qi and Blood elixir, then cast a spell into the coughing old lady's body.

The moment the elixir entered the body, the old lady's coughing stopped abruptly.

As the elixir was refined, the old lady's body, which had been hunched just now, gradually straightened up.In fact, even his pale-as-paper complexion instantly turned a lot more rosy.

It can be seen that the old lady is gradually getting better!
"Xiaoying!"

At this moment, Chen Zengwen, who had entered the room to get the medicine, came out cautiously with a small bowl.

But as soon as he came out, he saw the young woman who came with the ancestor was busy behind his old lady.Seeing this, he felt anxious and was about to step forward.

Seeing this, Chen Guting quickly stopped him.

"Don't worry! She just took the Qi and Blood Pill, and Jiawen is recuperating for her."

"Qi Xue Pill?"

Chen Zengwen took a look at his wife again and felt relieved when he saw that there was really nothing wrong with him.

But just when he put down the anxiety in his heart, he suddenly realized, "Is it the one in the city who is rewarded for making great contributions? The Qi and Blood Pill that can regulate Qi and blood, replenish Qi and nourish the mind?"

The moment he asked the question, he quickly glanced at the Master with the mustache who had been standing by the side. He remembered that when he came in, he said that the guard was here too.

It's just that he kept focusing on the ancestor, so he skipped him.

Thinking of this, Chen Zengwen turned his head to look at Chen Changzhi, who was calm and composed.

It seems that the other party is indeed the guard of Jingnan City.

A few years ago, when he abdicated from Liyang Academy, he had met the other party with his own eyes.

And it was that time that he got the first and only Qi and Blood Pill in his life.

Thinking of the efficacy of the Qi and Blood Pill, and thinking of his son's still looking like a dragon and a tiger, the old man was happy, but also secretly worried, "Old Ancestor, this Qi and Blood Pill..."

As far as he knew, this qi and blood pill was not so easy to obtain.

Even if there is a monk who can make alchemy in the family, the outflow of qi and blood pills will be restricted.

For ordinary people, only by making great contributions to the clan can they get one or two.

This time the ancestor is like this, will it break the rules of the clan?

Although he also knew that this kind of elixir, which was not even a spiritual elixir, was nothing to a cultivator, but if the ancestor broke the clan rules because of this, it would be Chen Zengwen's fault.

Unexpectedly, Chen Guting waved his hand, "Don't worry! It's just Qi and Blood Pills, the ancestor can still get a few of them out."

"Then thank you, Patriarch!"

"You don't have to thank me! After a few days, you may not be short!"

"No shortage?" Chen Zengwen was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What does the ancestor mean, this Qi and Blood Pill?"

"That's it!" Chen Guting affirmed.

After confirming that mortals are indeed helpful to arithmetic, he has already made corresponding preparations in his heart.Just wait to go back and discuss it, and then start to act.

Thinking like this, when he saw that his nephew wanted to ask again, he waved his hand again, "You sort out all the arithmetic knowledge in the past few days, and you will know it when the time comes!"

"arithmetic?"

Hearing these two words, thinking about the conversation with the ancestor today, even though Chen Zengwen was still full of doubts, he did not ask any more questions, but bowed his hands and said: "Please rest assured, the grandson will definitely live up to the ancestor. entrusted!"

"Ok!"

After Chen Guting hummed, he stopped talking.

After a while, after Li Jiawen finished the work, Mr. Chen Zengwen stepped forward excitedly and helped his wife, "Old lady, how are you doing? Are you okay?"

"much better!"

Xu Xiaoying replied with a smile.After finishing speaking, she subconsciously stretched her left hand behind her back. Only then did she realize that she didn't seem to have to bend over anymore.

While being astonished, a gleam of joy flashed in her heart.She has realized what just happened.

After thinking clearly, the old lady quickly turned around and saluted Li Jiawen, who was not far away, to thank her, "Thank you, Fairy, for your kindness!"

"Thank you Fairy for your kindness!"

Mr. Chen naturally saw his wife's actions just now. After realizing the problem, he was also inexplicably excited.

My wife had suffered for so many years because of getting old and hunchbacked, but now it's finally come to an end!

"no, I'm fine!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Li Jiawen quickly helped them up.

And at this moment, Bao'er also ran over fiercely, bowing down to salute in a dignified way.

"Thank you auntie!"

"Be good, Bao'er! Come on, Auntie, give me a hug!"

When the aunt and nephew were kissing, Chen Zengwen suddenly said sharply: "Bao'er, don't bark! Call grandma grandma!"

He just heard that this fairy girl called him the fifth uncle of his ancestor, so the other party is also his Chen Zengwen's aunt, and that is his own Bao'er's grandma.

With such seniority, how can she be called aunt?

However, his stern shout made Bao'er, who was happy just now, pouted aggrievedly.

Seeing this, Li Jiawen quickly kissed Bao'er's face, and said with a smile, "It's okay! Let's call each other our own! Otherwise, I'll be called old!"

"Then... that's fine!"

Seeing that Xiangu herself didn't care, Chen Zengwen didn't press any further.

Just after thinking about this, the old man suddenly felt a hot current gushing out from his back, and then it quickly circulated all over his body, limbs and bones.

In an instant, Chen Zengwen was shocked.

Even at this moment, even the occasional tingling sensation at the leg joints seemed to have eased a lot.

Sensing this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw his ancestor standing behind him, holding the same hand formula as that fairy girl just now.

Seeing this, Chen Zengwen didn't know what his ancestor was doing.

The other party was clearly refining Qi and Blood Pill for himself.Thinking of this, the old man was instantly excited.

But thinking of the preciousness of Qi and Blood Pill, he still opened his mouth and said:

"Old Ancestor, this..."

"Calm down and concentrate! Even if this Qi and Blood Pill is given to you in advance, it will be deducted from your subsequent contributions!"

"Yes!"

After Chen Zengwen responded, he stopped talking.

Although he still had some doubts about the "advance giving" and "contribution" that the ancestor said, he didn't have time to worry about it, because at this moment, the feeling that gradually became stronger in his body had completely occupied him. all thoughts.

At this moment, he felt that his body was like an old machine rejuvenated, gradually returning to its previous appearance when he was in his prime.

After a while, after the strange feeling on his back completely disappeared, Chen Zengwen moved his hands and feet a few times.

With just this movement, he had a feeling that he seemed to have returned to ten years ago, back to the past when he could still sway his wisdom in class.

After ten years, I finally came back!

Thinking of continuing to struggle in the field of arithmetic, thinking of not needing to drink medicine such as water, thinking of not dragging his tired body, and even having a sore waist and legs every time it rains, Chen Zengwen burst into tears for a while.

All of this was brought by our ancestors!

"Thank you, Patriarch! My grandson will never forget!"

"No, no, no! I've said it all, it's for you in advance."

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Chen Guting asked about other people who were successful in arithmetic.

"Guoli, Yuanlan, and Chengjiang, they are indeed okay!
But even in the field of arithmetic, they are still not as good as those seniors who are still teaching in the academy.

It may take another ten years before they can fully catch up!

Apart from Chen Zhixian and Chen Yuanwei, the ones who have made achievements in arithmetic are probably the Xu Xinming that the ancestor just mentioned.

This Xu Xinming, in fact, my nephew has also met before, he is a nice young man.

And unlike the others, although his foundation is not very solid, he has a lot of ideas. When we met before, he seemed to be researching a new counting method.

It's been a few years now, and it should be fruitful! "

"New counting method?"

Chen Guting was thoughtful.

Before, he thought it was a new calculation method, but now it seems that it is not.

However, the curiosity in his heart did not slow down in the slightest.

He wants to see what kind of counting method can make the other party pay so much attention to it.Even dare to call it a "new counting method".Make it known to the whole city.

I hope you are not a sensationalist!
