Chapter 59 The Charm of the Academy
"But, senior brother, I have a mathematics question here. Do you want to listen to it?" Chen Pipi's speechlessness just now was just a disguise. The previous words were just to say the current sentence. He spoke in a normal tone and hopeful expression.
"Mathematics questions, you didn't sleep last night because of this?" Ye Qi asked at Chen Pipi.
Chen Pipi said: "I took the paper and pen and calculated it all night, but I didn't figure it out. Now, I believe that the senior brothers in the back mountain, including the second senior brother, are all tortured by this mathematics question."
"It is hard to imagine that this question that countless geniuses in our second floor have been hard to solve. It was actually produced by an idiot who knows how to practice. What's even more annoying is that the idiot said that he had figured out this question when he was seven years old."
Ye Qi sat on the wooden chair in front of the thatched hut, holding the wooden box of the senior brother, stretched his slender fingers into the box and gently pinched the sand like frost and snow without saying a word.
Chen Pipi doesn't think that the terrifying senior brother can surpass himself in mathematics questions. He even believes that the strength of the senior brother is only reflected in his practice. If he tells this question himself, will the senior brother think about it and fail to solve the problem like the second senior brother, and is angry and defamed. This question is simply nonsense?
But Ye Qi didn't speak at this time, meaning that he didn't want to listen to this mathematics question. The most important reason why Chen Pipi went up the mountain today was that he wanted to tell him about this question.
Chen Pipi rubbed her sore eyes and said, "A group of people gathered in Kaiping Market in the north of the Tang Dynasty. They divided into four groups and walked through the city gates to go to the barbarian grassland to eat grassland leisurely. The first group was white cows, the second group was black cows, the third group was yellow cows, and the fourth group was dairy cows, with male and female cows, and there were more and less.
The number of white cows is equal to one-third and one-half of the black cows, and the number of black cows is one-quarter plus one-fifth of the dairy cows and all of them..."
"This kind of question should be used for those who are so bored that they think all day long that I come from and where the world comes from. You can do it if you don't like to practice, you can also like to eat and sleep. But for this kind of mathematics question that is only meaningful to those who are pitiful, it's a waste of time. It's not that you have been in the knowledge of life for two years. In these two years, you have just stayed outside the threshold of knowledge of life for no reason."
Chen Pipi said the question in an interest. He heard what his senior brother, who almost never held him accountable, quickly shut up with aggrievedness, but judging from his thief eyes, it was obvious that his body and mind were different.
Chen Pipi thought to himself, Senior Brother, if you don’t want to hear what this question is, how could I almost finish the question? Now that I get angry, I must feel that I can’t calculate it in the end, so I’m looking for a step. Senior Brother, I hope you don’t have insomnia because of this question.
Thinking of this, Chen Pipi still looked like he bent down and admitted his mistake, but his eyebrows could not help but fly up like frivolous willow branches. He took out a round bowl from the cloth bag behind him, which looked like the bowl used by the Buddha Sect. However, this bowl had a cover, made of ice blue inexplicable crystals, and was carved with complex and exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns.
"Senior Brother, this is the formation plate that the sixth brother just made yesterday."
Ye Qi took the array plate, took a few glances, and then lifted up the wooden box containing the hot sea sand. He saw that there were already several small cracks visible to the naked eye on the edge of the wooden box.
Although the box used by Li Junjuan to hold sand has the effect of Sumeru mustard seeds, its essence is just a wooden box. The sand grains were forged by Ye Qi to form a formation. The sword intent was restrained and the breath of heaven and earth was always restrained. Those wooden boxes were no longer able to bear the weight. More than ten days ago, Ye Qi discovered this about the formation achievement. When Chen Pipi went up the mountain to visit him, he told Lao Liu that he wanted his intention to need a formation plate.
After transferring the sand from the wooden box to Lao Liulian's array plate, Ye Qi gave the wooden box to Chen Pipi, held up the array plate and said with satisfaction: "Let's go down the mountain together."
The senior brother went down the mountain, and Chen Pipi was naturally happy. After putting the wooden chair Ye Qi was sitting back into the wooden house, he took the lead in opening the way and walked down the lonely cliff with Ye Qi.
...
After four years, Ye Qi returned from the back cliff to the back mountain again, and it was worth celebrating, even Yu Lian in the front yard. In addition to the master and senior brother who had been traveling there again, the disciples of the back mountain gathered together to drink and celebrate lively.
After drinking and eating, the disciples in the back mountain went busy. The second senior brother called Ye Qi and Mu You, and the three of them walked in a forest school in the back mountain.
When he arrived at the school, the second senior brother helped Gu Guan on his head, looked at the formation plate in Ye Qi's hand without any notice, coughed lightly, and said, "The master left an order before leaving. The second floor will be opened in a few days. You two are good at formations, and the arrangement in front of the wooden door will be given to you."
When Ye Qi climbed the second floor, there was always a cold rain in front of the wood gate. It was the Master who was testing the state of cultivation and patience of those who climbed the tower. Now the Master is not here, and everyone on the second floor does not have the Master's magical powers. If the test is not gone in front of the wood gate, they can only rely on the power of the formation.
Ye Qi and Mu You nodded and continued to listen to the subsequent arrangements of the second senior brother Jun Mo.
This formation is not arranged at will, because it is not intended to be used to kill people, but to test the people who climb the tower. The magnitude of each formation and the test items must be planned. Jun Mo said, and the two listened, and they reached night without realizing it.
...
The disciples in the back mountain had a regular schedule. They worked hard to practice and stayed in their houses to continue practicing at night. Those who slept had a good time. In short, the lakeside was quiet at night. As for the two who played chess now, they probably didn’t know which old forest in the back mountain to play chess. Even if they were noisy, they wouldn’t be around the lake.
After listening to the arrangements of the second senior brother, Ye Qi came to the small lake and looked up at the stars in the night sky. He knew that Ning Que was going to climb the tower. In other words, he didn't have much time left.
The back mountain was still far away from the night sky. The Master flew upwards for no reason but didn't contact each other. However, at this time the stars seemed to be much closer to the back mountain, as if they could pick them with your hand.
He was not anxious nor afraid of the unknown coming. He just looked at the starry sky and was lost. If the sky collapsed, it would probably be that many people would die in this world. No, many people would definitely die.
At that time, the back mountain would not be as quiet as it is now. The third senior sister could not copy books in the old bookstore quietly. The eldest senior brother would not be as slow as it is now. The second senior brother would probably not care about it like now. He would occasionally hold the hammer on his head to avoid skew...
