Taixuan Suanjing
Chapter 181 Taixuan Suanjing
In Qin Mu's team, there was no one from the Imperial Academy except him, a doctor of the Imperial College. Gu Li Nuan's reason was that Qin Mu was a doctor of the Imperial College and held a high position, so he should lead a team of scholars alone.
Although the several scholars assigned to Qin Mu were all selected and top-notch scholars, they were far inferior to the scholars selected by Prince Yuan Shentongju.
There are many strong people in Tai Academy, and many of them are very capable. Gu Li Nuan asked Qin Mu to lead the team for training, which is obviously a personal vendetta.
The scholars who followed Qin Mu to the front line for training were all acquaintances, including Shen Wanyun, Monk Yun Que, Yue Qinghong with the wolf slaves, Si Yunxiang, and Qin Yu.
However, Qin Yu was a descendant of the Qin family in the capital and had a strong background. After finding Gu Li Nuan and saying something to her, he was transferred out of Qin Mu's team and joined another team led by the Imperial College, thus avoiding Qin Mu's doomed team.
Qin Mu finished refining a furnace of Red Fire Spirit Pills and stretched his waist. He had been refining pills these days so that the Dragon Qilin would have enough food to eat when he arrived at the front line, and he would have no time to meet those scholars.
Monk Yunque found Shen Wanyun, Yue Qinghong and others and discussed: "This time, the chief priest asked Dr. Qin to take us to experience, and we are going to the rebellious land. It is estimated that there is no return and we will die. There is not even a supernatural person in our team!"
Shen Wanyun shook his head and said, “Yes.”
Several people looked at him. Shen Wanyun said calmly: “I have been suppressing my realm these days, you can rest assured that I can break through at any time and become a magical person in the Liuhe realm.”
Yue Qinghong said, "I heard that these rebellious sects have been gathering in the south, and they want to completely drive out the power of Yankang State in the south. Many sects that were originally active near the capital have now disappeared. For example, the Yulong Sect has moved to the south. Now the south of Yongjiang River has completely become the territory of the rebels! The various rebellious sects have gathered there, and there are so many supernatural powers. You, a supernatural power, are of no use at all."
Shen Wanyun frowned: "Dr. Qin has too little experience in the martial arts world. How old is he? How many times has he been to the martial arts world? If he leads us, it will be dangerous. Even if I have a higher cultivation strength, I can't do anything. Junior Sister Si, you have been silent all this time, what do you think?"
Si Yunxiang smiled shyly and said nothing.
Everyone was silent.
Monk Yunque sighed and said, "Let's go to Tianlu Tower and choose one or two magical powers to escape. Maybe they can be used."
Finally the day of departure arrived. Hundreds of scholars gathered in front of the Imperial College. Each of the Imperial College members examined their own queues. Then one after another, the tower ships flew in and landed in front of the Imperial College. The Imperial College members each led their teams to board their own tower ships.
"Dr. Qin, didn't you hire a boat?"
Gu Li Nuan came over and said with a smile: "The journey is quite long this time. If we walk there, it will take more than ten days. You are a doctor of the Imperial College, you are not unwilling to spend even this little money, right?"
Qin Mu was calm and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, High Priest. I am so poor that I only have money left, so I hired a fast ship at a high price and it will arrive soon. The alchemy furnace on this ship was refined by me, so it will arrive very quickly."
Shen Wanyun and others looked at each other and thought, "Sure enough, he is stingy. He made the alchemy furnace by himself. It is probably a small boat. However, he actually knows how to refine weapons? He has never been to the Divine Work Hall. Where did he learn to refine weapons?"
There is a Shengong Hall in the Taixue Academy, where students learn to refine weapons and treasures. The Imperial College of the Shengong Hall also serves in the imperial court. The shipbuilding factory and the military equipment factory are both important positions held by the Imperial College of the Shengong Hall.
Qin Mu had never been to the Divine Craftsmanship Hall once since he entered the Imperial Academy, so it was impossible for him to learn the knowledge of forging and casting.
Not long after, one ship after another took off and sailed away from Taixue Academy. Monk Yunque and others were waiting anxiously, when suddenly they saw a tattered ship swaying in the air and landing in front of the Imperial Academy.
"Our ship has arrived!" Qin Mu said with a smile.
Shen Wanyun, Yun Que, Yue Qinghong and others frowned, seeing that the ship was riddled with holes, leaking air everywhere, and the mast had been cut off, without even a sail.
A shirtless man appeared on the ship. He had a ferocious face and was not a good person. He was covered with tattoos. He waved at Qin Mu and laughed, "Brother Qin, you are late, late!"
Qin Mu walked forward with Hu Ling'er and Long Qilin and said with a smile, "It's okay to be late for a day or two. What happened to your ship? It was still in good condition when I saw it last time. Why did it become so broken in just a few days?"
"Don't mention it. I went on a business trip and ran into that bitch from Sanqi Castle. She released insects to harm me. I was too fast and ran into the swarm of insects. They almost turned my treasure ship into a sieve."
Fan Yunxiao looked at Shen Wanyun and others, and laughed: “Fellow scholars, when you become officials in the future, you must take good care of Xiaohao. We have recently become good people.”
Yun Que murmured, "This ship is so shabby, it won't disintegrate in the air, right?"
Qin Mu also had this doubt. This Zhuiyun pirate ship was too dilapidated and looked like it could fall apart at any time.
"No, no!"
Fan Yunxiao promised, patting his chest vigorously: "My brother Xiaohao has already reinforced the hull with runes, it is very sturdy. Brother Qin, can you help me build an iron-hulled ship when you have time? Help me refine a few more furnaces and use black iron to build the hull, wood is a bit brittle."
Qin Mu pondered and said, "That will cost a lot. The black iron alone is a considerable expense. Can you afford so much money? Also, do you have the blueprints?"
Fan Yunxiao rubbed his hands vigorously and said, "I have been robbing everywhere over the years... Pah, Pah, I have saved a lot of money from doing business everywhere. All my assets should be enough to forge an iron-hulled ship. As for the blueprints, that's not easy to get... Everyone, please get on board, we'll talk after we get on board."
Everyone boarded the ship. Yue Qinghong looked around and saw that all the guys on the ship were covered in tattoos and looked ferocious. Some had long scars on their bodies, some were missing noses and eyes, and they looked murderous. It was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.
The broken ship slowly rose into the air and moved towards the outside of the capital city like an old ox pulling a broken cart.
Everyone looked at this scene and became even more dejected. Shen Wanyun whispered, "The people on this ship are not good people. They are robbers who are extremely powerful, and most of them are supernatural beings. Dr. Qin has little experience in the martial arts world. He probably fell into the trap of the bandits. We must be careful on the road to avoid being robbed by them..."
He had just said this when the broken ship suddenly accelerated, making a sharp whistling sound and broke through the air.
There was a violent vibration. The speed of the broken ship exceeded the sound. In an instant, it was several miles away. Several wine barrels on the ship were thrown out and exploded in the air in mid-air.
Everyone quickly stood firm and looked around in horror, only to see that the broken ship quickly overtook the sleek building ships that had been flying for half a day, leaving them far behind.
The speed of this broken ship is unbelievable. At this speed, it can reach Yongjiang in just one or two days!
Qin Mu was no longer surprised. After all, he was the one who refined the alchemy furnace, so it was not worth being surprised.
"It's okay, it's okay, it won't disintegrate."
Fan Yunxiao comforted everyone and said, "I originally thought it would fall apart, but it has carried passengers several times and never fell apart. It is very likely that it will not fall apart this time."
call--
A piece of deck was lifted up by the strong wind and flew backwards with a loud noise.
Fan Yunxiao said confidently, "Don't worry, it won't fall apart! Second brother, carry a board up... carry one more board, and another one will be blown away! Don't worry, don't worry, I have experience."
Suddenly, the ship passed through a rainy area where it was raining. As the ship passed through the heavy rain, Fan Yunxiao was dressed in all colors, and there were colors everywhere.
Hu Ling'er screamed, "Lao Xiao, your tattoo was washed away by the rain!"
The tattoos of the other bandits on the Cloud Chaser were also washed away by the rain. One of them even shouted, "Brother, my scar was washed away by the rain!"
Fan Yunxiao was also a little embarrassed and said, "After we get off the boat, we'll find an artist to paint us. But we've all changed our ways, so it seems like we don't need tattoos anymore. Second brother, take off your eye patch. Look, you've scared a few of the scholars."
The mate took off his blindfold, revealing his good eye.
Monk Yunque murmured, "These bandit-like guys don't seem very reliable..."
Qin Mu was very familiar with the bandit leader. He took out a math book and asked Fan Yunxiao for advice. Hu Ling'er found a handkerchief and wiped the dragon head on Fan Yunxiao's back, and the dragon head disappeared immediately.
"Fox, stop making trouble." Fan Yunxiao waved his hand.
Hu Ling'er curled her lips: "I thought it was a real tattoo, but it turned out to be painted on."
Fan Yunxiao laughed dryly and said hesitantly, "How painful is that? My body and hair are given by my parents, how can I just paint them carelessly?"
Qin Mu said, "Brother Fan, the tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions in the Taixuan Mathematical Classic are easy to calculate, but the numbers of 100 million, 100 million, 100 trillion, 100 million ...
"I also asked the Taoist master, and he said it was used for infinite calculations."
Fan Yunxiao said: "The number between ten thousand and one hundred million is the ten thousand system. Ten thousand is one hundred million. After one hundred million, it is the ten million system. One hundred million is one trillion. One hundred million is one kilo. One hundred million is one gai. In addition to this, there are numbers that cannot be divided completely. After the number, we use fen, li, hao, si, hu, micro, xian, sand, dust, dust, miraculous, mo, fuzzy, hesitant, a moment, a snap of the fingers, instant, six virtues, emptiness, and tranquility. Ten is used as the decimal point. One tenth is one li, one hundredth, and so on."①
Qin Mu was surprised and asked, "What is this emptiness and tranquility used to calculate?"
"It is used to calculate the smallest particles of vital energy."
Fan Yunxiao said: "The fourteenth chapter of Dao Sword requires imprinting rune formations on the smallest particles of Yuan Qi. It cannot be practiced without calculation."
Qin Mu was shocked and took a look at the Taixuan Suanjing, feeling a little headache.
"You will also need to use these calculations when forging various treasures. A slight mistake will lead to a huge error."
Qin Mu agreed and praised: "The Taoist's attainments in numerology are truly extraordinary."
He asked humbly, and Fan Yunxiao told him everything he knew. Fan Yunxiao had already mastered the fifth chapter of Taoist sword and had achieved great accomplishments in numerology.
Note ①: Zhao, Jing, Gai, Zi, Rang, Gou, Jian, Zheng, Zai, Ji, Fen, Li, Hao, Si, Hu, Wei, Xian, Sha, etc. are all ancient Chinese counting units. Fen, Li, etc. are used to calculate the numbers after the decimal point.
PS: Two chapters will be updated today, one at noon and one at night. I have been in a state of rage for nine days now, and my body and brain can’t take it these past two days.
