Chapter 625
Pine Mountain is in the imperial capital, no more so than the mountain to which Juan Heschel lured Wen Listenan last time.
This mountain was a famous attraction in the imperial capital, and it was the hot season from March to May, with many tourists from all over the countries.
Once this great formation was activated, not only the tourists on this mountain, but the whole of the empire would be affected.
Of course, taking some luck from everyone would not affect lives, and it might not even be noticed.
But the methods are indeed insidious.
A little bit of luck from each person would be enough to sustain the Xie family for a hundred years.
The Xie Family actually allowed their Eldest Elder to take the luck of others to feed the Xie Family.
Such matters could not be decided by the Xie Family Head and the Elders’ Group.
It could only be an order given by Xie Huanran.
Fifth Moon froze and muttered, “I’ve already memorised all the feng shui books, and I can be sure that this great formation isn’t in any of them.”
She was not a fan of learning, but she could not resist having a sharp brain.
Once she read it, she knew it and could not forget it.
This was the reason why Fifth Chuan hated iron.
But if Fifth Moon had been more serious, she could have reached the level of Fifth Shao-string.
Fifth Moon’s talent was way higher than his three siblings.
“Well, it’s no wonder you don’t know, this kind of feng shui formation, it’s impossible to be found in books, I thought old Mr. Chuan might have talked to you about it.” Ying Ziji’s eyes sank, “You wait for me at the entrance and ask the organisers to postpone the ceremony.”
Hearing this, Fifth Moon became alert, “Okay, I’ll ask the organisers to postpone the ceremony in the name of my stomachache.”
No matter what, the Fifth Family had absolute say in the world of feng shui and trigonometry.
Ying Zigui pressed the phone and first went back to the conference hall to say goodbye to the elders of the Hall of Justice before immediately heading to the entrance of the Ancient Martial World, to the Imperial Capital Pine Mountain.
The second elder was delighted: “Big brother, Miss Ying is definitely introducing me to a girl.”
Fu Yun Shen lifted his eyes and glanced at him indifferently.
The Eldest Elder shook his head and sighed.
It was good to be happy in the midst of bitterness, but it could make one feel better.
**
Pine Mountain.
The sun is shining just right today and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
It is also midday and many tourists are dining in the restaurants on the mountain.
Not the slightest idea that a group of real trigonometrists are gathering at the top of the mountain, and that there is a sinister grand formation premeditated to take their luck.
It was also an hour and a half later when Ying Zigui arrived at Pine Mountain, having used his inner strength to make the journey from the ancient martial world with all his might.
Fifth Moon covered her stomach and hung her head in despair, “Miss, if you don’t come again, they’ll think I’m incontinent.”
“Tough.” Ying Ziyi pressed her baseball cap down, “Where is the person?”
“Over here.” Fifth Moon lowered her voice, “Miss, you’re right, as soon as he saw that I was going to postpone the ceremony, his face got all wrong.”
Ying Ziji looked at the Grand Elder sitting in the gazebo, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, “He had suffered a considerable injury because of divination, otherwise this great formation would have been opened a long time ago, it wouldn’t have waited until today.”
Fifth Moon drew a breath backwards, “This old thing, it’s so bad.”
The girl’s face was covered in full, and the Grand Elder did not recognise her.
At the sight of Fifth Moon coming over, he held back for a moment, but still spoke amiably, “Miss Moon, is it okay?”
“Yes it’s fine.” Fifth Moon pretended to cover her stomach again, “Ai, sorry, I ate badly yesterday, forgive me forgive me.”
“Miss Yue doesn’t need to apologise, everyone has internal urgency at times.” The Grand Elder stood up, “Since Miss Yue is fine, then let’s start.”
“There’s no need to start.” Ying Zigui looked sideways, “There is no ceremony today.”
The Grand Elder’s expression changed, “Who?!”
He turned his head and saw that it was a girl under twenty, his face sank, “Do you know how to respect the elderly at such a young age?”
Ying Zidian raised her eyes and spoke in a very lazy tone: “You?”
The Eldest Elder choked and his face turned blue.
The other fortune tellers couldn’t bear to watch.
“Grand Elder, ignore her, she doesn’t want to learn we have to listen.”
“Who are you? Do you know who this is? Which family? Since we are from the Feng Shui Gua Shu circle, we have to respect our elders, do you understand?”
The Eldest Elder stroked his beard and was in a good mood.
He said lightly, “All right, I won’t bother with her.”
“I’m going to argue.” Ying Zigui rolled up his sleeves and faintly, “The Heaven Sacrifice Formation, the Xie family has a really good idea.”
The Grand Elder’s pupils contracted violently, “You ……”
Not good, things are falling apart!
But apart from the Fifth Chuan, how could anyone else know about the Heaven Sacrifice Formation?
Sure enough, upon hearing the name, the other trigram tellers were bewildered.
“What a little girl, knowing so much.” After being demolished, the Grand Elder didn’t hide it anymore and sneered, “Not bad, it’s the Heaven Sacrifice Grand Formation.”
“This Heaven Sacrifice Formation has been prepared by the old man for ten years, and it was finally completed today, so none of the empire’s ten million people will be able to escape! Just obediently offer up your luck and feed the Xie family!”
If it weren’t for the fact that he was injured by the diviner from the O Continent last time he divined that person called Ying Zidian, he would have been able to open the Great Heaven Sacrifice Formation last year.”
“You?” Ying Zidian’s phoenix eyes swept lightly, just raising her hand, her inner energy instantly destroyed a flower platform.
It happened to be an important edge of the Great Heaven Sacrifice Formation.
The Grand Elder was shocked and angry: “You seek death!”
Ying Zidian raised his hand again and his inner energy shot out across the air, “It is you who seeks death.”
The Elder let out a miserable cry and was swept away.
But as he flew backwards, he used his internal energy to stabilise his body in time and shouted, “The formation is up!”
Fortunately, he had also arranged some attack formations around the Heaven Sacrifice Formation.
Even if an Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster entered this formation, he would still be seriously injured.
The Grand Elder sneered, “You want to kill me, it’s not that easy.”
Ying Zigui raised his eyes and took a step up to the sky, “Then try.”
“Boom!”
Formations dueled with formations, and the roar continued.
The other Gua calculators did not know ancient martial arts and were not as good at formations as the Grand Elder and Ying Zigui, so they had all started to flee frantically long ago.
The commotion on top of the mountain was so loud that the tourists who were eating halfway up the mountain could not have missed it.
All of them looked up.
At this look, they were all stunned.
They saw two people standing there, floating in the air without the help of any external objects.
A scene that only appeared in martial arts dramas, how could they now see it with their own eyes?
No, not even martial arts dramas dared to do that, they would be scolded by the audience for violating the law of gravity.
This tm?
The tourists were confused for a moment before they decisively took out their phones and started taking pictures.
“Sorry, no photos, absolutely no photos.” Fifth Moon kept Ying Ziyi’s words in mind and blocked those tourists, “What about hanging a weave for fun, it’s really just playing.”
“This is a play by First Light Media, it’s bad for you guys to take pictures of this road show.”
A few youngsters heard this and immediately put away their phones.
First Light Media’s play was Ying Zigui’s play.
They couldn’t hold up Ying Shen’s money.
But the senior citizens’ group could not be fooled, they were ready to go back and send out their friends and relatives.
There was another old lady who called her family with glee: “Son, I saw the gods.”
Fifth Moon was desperate and fumbled to call the scenic area again, asking them to disperse the tourists.
There was no need for Fifth Moon to say anything, and the staff at the scenic spot all started the alarm.
[Alert! Alert!
[All tourists are asked to leave the scenic spot quickly! All tourists are asked to leave the scenic spot at once!
And on top of the mountain, the battle continued.
A few converging down, the Grand Elder was panting and kneeling on the ground, blood continuously flowing down the corners of his mouth.
“Formation to formation, the formation will take no more than thirty seconds to set up.” Ying Zigui nodded slightly, “Very good, you do have a good talent for trigonometry, can it be any wonder that the Xie Family would let a foreigner like you take up the position of Grand Elder.”
The Grand Elder couldn’t believe it.
How old was he this year?
A man of the same generation as Fifth Chuan.
In the category of feng shui and trigonometry, it was originally the higher the age, the stronger the seniority.
The Grand Elder really did not want to believe that a girl’s ability to set up formations would be higher than his.
How was this possible?
The Grand Elder heaved two breaths, and with a grimace on his face, he angrily shouted, “Formation rise!”
“Buzz–”
The top of the mountain shook violently and the rocks all began to roll downwards.
The Grand Elder laughed out loud, “You’ve lost, I deliberately delayed just now in order to successfully set up this formation, just wait for your death! ”
However, Ying Zigui didn’t even move: “Seven Star Formation.”
In the next second, the top of the mountain stopped shaking.
This proved that in an instant, Ying Zigui had already set up a formation that suppressed the Grand Elder’s great formation.
“A single thought into a formation, or a seven-star formation ……” The Grand Elder took a step back and blurted out incredulously, “You …… are the Fifth Youngstring’s master! !”
Chapter 626
The Grand Elder studied with the Fifth River for a few days in the past.
Although it was only a few days, it was a great benefit.
It is not for no reason that the Fifth Family has been able to hold on to its position as the number one family in the feng shui and trigonometry world for several hundred years without falling.
Although the earliest history of the Fifth Family can be traced back to the Song Dynasty period.
But it was only around the 18th century that it took off completely.
It was all because of the Fifth Youngstring.
He was a young genius, and although he died young, he became famous in the world of trigonometry.
The Grand Elder had always revered him.
I heard from the Fifth Chuan that he had achieved so much because he had a magnificent master.
This master had taught him Feng Shui formations and trigonometry, and had also left a book for Fifth Shao-string’s school to study.
However, some of the formations in the book were not even learnt by Fifth Shao-string.
The Grand Elder was only impressed by one of the formations, which was this Seven Star Formation.
He had seen it, but the Seven Star Formation was indeed too difficult.
There were so many factors involved in setting up a Feng Shui formation.
Weather, terrain, time of day and so on.
If even one of them does not match, the work will be lost and even oneself will be affected.
There are many fortune tellers who have died while setting up feng shui formations that are beyond their abilities.
In the Grand Elder’s opinion, no one could even set up a successful Seven Star Formation.
Not to mention the One Thought Formation.
A single thought to form a formation!
This was the highest realm of feng shui formations, and even the Grand Elder had only seen it in books.
With a smile and a wave of his hand, he was able to set up a great formation without a sound.
Unlike him, it would take ten years to set up the Heavenly Sacrifice Formation successfully.
Apart from all the impossibilities, even if the only answer was even more unacceptable, it was all true.
In this instant, the Grand Elder completely lost the thought that he could still win.
The Fifth Youngstring alone represented the pinnacle of the world of trigrams and calculations.
And what did his master represent?
In trigonometry, he and Ying Ziji were the difference between a man and a god.
The Grand Elder gasped heavily, his eyes red and his face even more distorted.
His sanity was shot and he roared hysterically, “I’m going to tell Xie Huanran! Just you wait, you’re dead!”
“Even if you are the fifth youngest string’s master and disobey the Xie family, you will still die!”
Xie Huanran’s ancient martial cultivation was the number one in the ancient martial world, when he struck, who else could live?
This woman, absolutely cannot be kept!
Leaving her behind would become a great danger!
It would stop the Xie Family’s grand plan to unify the Ancient Martial World.
The Grand Elder was about to cast another escape formation.
But before he could escape, there were other formations forming around him.
This was the one Fifth Moon had just secretly laid.
It was set up in every direction, blocking all the escape routes of the Eldest Elder of the Xie Clan.
Ying Zigui raised her hand, her eyes cold: “This is the end.”
The girl’s voice was vibrating with internal energy and was extremely penetrating.
The Eldest Elder was so close that his eardrums shook out blood.
He was shocked and appalled: “An ancient martial arts master?!”
It turned out that Ying Ziji was floating in the air, not because of the enchantment of the formation?
He was facing an Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster?
The tourists who were descending the mountain heard it too.
But indeed there were already quite a few people who thought they were filming a scene, thinking that this was just a line from the play.
It was quite imposing.
Many tourists were thinking about going back to search what the play was about.
However it so happened that during this time, the Imperial University gave the professors of the three colleges a three-day holiday and let them go out for a trek at public expense.
The one that came was Pine Mountain.
Zuo Li was running down after the other professors.
When he heard the voice, he couldn’t help but freeze, “Professor Gu, listen to this, is this the voice of Ying’s cla*smate?”
Professor Gu also froze, then shook his head and let out a long sigh: “Little Zuo, you’re missing Ying too much and are hallucinating, aren’t you?”
Zuo Li: “……”
He wasn’t, he just brought his own radar system for finding Ying Ziji so that she could go back to do her experiments and write her thesis.
“Didn’t that little girl just say that it was First Light Media that was filming?” Professor Gu said, “Ying is the boss, would she be on the set herself?”
Zuo Li remembered again that he did see that scene from afar just now.
And so it was.
How could someone float up against the law of gravity if not by hanging?
He, a physics professor, was the first to disagree!
Professor Gu spoke again with a smile, “Little Zuo, do you want me to take you to see the brain department? There I can get a 20% discount.”
Zuo Li: “…… roll.”
**
The tourists all left as well
“Hey, missy her boyfriend.” Fifth Moon stepped back and called, “She told me to tell you that she did it, it was urgent and quite a few people saw it.”
“The footage is there too, so you need to delete all the CCTV footage around Imperial Pine Hill, and absolutely no footage should be leaked online.”
It was okay to fool amateur tourists with such talk as hanging a weave, but it couldn’t be hidden from the professionals.
If not, it wouldn’t take long for social forums in every country to spread the word that the Chinese people know kung fu and have ascended to immortality.
Fu Yunshen’s eyes deepened: “Copy that, keep an eye on her, I’ll be right over.”
Fifth Moon was about to say something else when there was another “rumble” on the mountain and the rocks shook.
If these rocks fell…
“sh*t!” Fifth Moon rushed over and started setting up the formation.
Within fifteen seconds, the formation succeeded, successfully stopping the falling stones.
After setting up so many formations in just a short while, Fifth Moon was also exhausted.
But she didn’t rest, wiped off a sweat and headed for the mountain.
By the time she arrived on the hill, the Xie Family Grand Elder had already fallen to the ground, lifeless.
He was staring, clearly dead with resignation.
The girl sat cross-legged.
A few minutes later, Ying Ziji opened her eyes and spoke indifferently, “The Xie family should blow up.”
“Blow up what?” Fifth Moon scratched her head and walked over, “What kind of formation is this?”
Ying stood up, “Seven Star Formation, want to learn it?”
“Yes, learn it.” Fifth Moon suddenly said, “Then, Miss, can you take me as your apprentice?”
Ying Zigui raised her eyebrows, “What, do you want your grandfather to call you uncle?”
“No, no, no.” Fifth Moon choked, “I really want to learn.”
She was silent for a moment, “Miss, I’m too weak and I’ve been loitering before, if I didn’t have you, once grandpa goes first, no one in the Fifth Family would be able to hold up.”
Fifth Chuan’s body, indeed, would not be able to support him for long.
The backlash that a trigonometrist suffered from changing karma was not something that could be cured by ancient medicine, and could only be hung on.
If Fifth Chuan were to leave, the Fifth Family would also be targeted by many people.
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes dropped and she gave a very soft laugh, “Good.”
At last, he has grown up.
She was very relieved.
With Fifth Moon’s talent, in the future, she would definitely be the number one in the Chinese trigonometry world.
The regret she had left behind in Fifth Shao-Yin’s body could also be made up.
Fifth Moon was so happy that she was about to kneel down and pay homage to her master.
“Alright, I’m not formal.” Ying Zigui blocked it, indifferently, “As long as you promise me, count on anyone, not me, always remember this.”
“No problem no problem.” Fifth Moon agreed in one breath, “Master, you are so awesome, I wouldn’t dare to count you, Master.”
It’s not like she hadn’t seen that Master Wei had vomited blood after calculating Ying Zigui’s name.
She is too small to withstand such things.
After thinking about it, Ying Zigey slipped a lollipop into Fifth Moon’s hand, not slowing down, “Master has been poor recently, so this is a gift for you.”
Fifth Moon: “???”
She tore open the candy paper in bewilderment.
As she held the candy in her mouth, she drifted back to the time when Fifth Chuan had told her that her ancestor had at least been given a piece of gold when he paid respect to his master.
And she ……
Fifth Moon bit into the lollipop.
The candy was still quite tasty.
It was lychee flavor.
**
This time.
The Xie family.
Xie Nian was injured, and the Xie family head and Lady Xie were with her, not daring to let anything half happen to her.
Otherwise, if Xie Huanran came out of the gate, they would be held accountable as well.
Madam Xie was about to go to the kitchen to bring the bird’s nest when the ground shook just as she stepped out of the room.
She let out a shriek and her foot slipped.
The next second –
“Boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a loud popping sound, one after the other, shaking one’s eardrums to the point of pain.
The Xie family head held Lady Xie in time and was somewhat baffled: “An earthquake?”
But in an instant, he realised something was wrong: “No, it’s the direction of the ancestral tomb!”
The ancestral tomb holds the ancestors of the Xie family, even Xie Huanran would go there to pay his respects, who would dare to cause trouble at the Xie family’s ancestral tomb?
The Xie family head immediately ran towards the ancestral tomb.
By the time he arrived, the Xie Family’s group of elders had already arrived.
The scene in front of him stunned the Xie family head.
The Xie Family’s ancestral tomb had actually blown up!
There was even a side of land in the very centre that had caved in.
There was no one.
It was not man-made.
The Second Elder frowned for a moment and his expression changed, “Not good, the boss failed, the Xie Family didn’t get those luck, but lost the original ones instead!”
The ancestral tomb was the best feng shui treasure in a family’s territory.
Even the ancestral tomb had blown up, so it could be seen just how much luck the Xie family had lost.
The luck that the Xie family had accumulated for hundreds of years was all gone at this moment!
In short, the Dragon Vein was decapitated.
This was something that had happened in ancient times too.
When a dynasty’s dragon line was chopped off, that dynasty’s qi came to an end.
The hearts of the people are scattered and there is no way to return to Heaven.
But the Xie family and dynasties are not yet the same; the Xie family has absolute force value.
But the loss of luck is indeed extremely damaging.
The Second Elder’s tone became anxious, “I’m afraid those Guaoshu tellers are already ready to gather to find trouble with the Xie Family!”
Don’t mess with anyone but the trigonometrists.
A little tampering with the eight characters would be a problem.
If those trigram tellers put their lives on the line against the Xie family, the Xie family would have to lose a lot of vitality as well.
The Xie family head shivered, “Second, Second Elder, what should we do?”
“Close the family gates!” The Second Elder made an immediate decision, “Before the Old Ancestor leaves the gate, as long as the surname is Xie, no one is allowed to go out!”
“Don’t cause any trouble, and the Hall of Justice has no excuse to come to the door.”
The Third Elder nodded, his voice gloomy, “This is the only way.”
The Heaven Sacrifice Formation didn’t work, and they had offended the Trigonometry Realm.
They could only rely on Xie Huanran.
There was no harm in holding back for three months.
As long as Xie Huanran succeeded in his retreat this time, his cultivation level would once again rise greatly.
The Ancient Martial World would be the Xie Family’s world, and it wouldn’t be too late to accumulate luck by then.
**
On the other hand.
Zuo Li had returned to his home district from Pine Mountain.
The six words “law of gravity” were still swirling in his head.
When he arrived at the entrance of the district, the doorman greeted him cordially: “Professor Zuo, your courier, it’s from the country of M.”
“M country?” Thinking it might be his old cla*smate, Zuo Li nodded and took the courier upstairs.
After returning home, he ate dinner with his wife and children before returning to the study to open the courier.
After opening it, Zuo Li found that it was a sample issue sent to him by the International Centre for Physics.
The sample issue was due to be released at the end of April, which was not for a few days.
It will be released worldwide and will be in the hands of various professors in the research community.
Because Zuo Li has an honorary title at the International Centre for Physics, although it is not high, he is young.
So from time to time, the International Centre for Physics would send him resources and journals.
Zuo Li has always been fascinated by physics, so when he got the journal, he started to look through the papers in it.
In this issue, there were several papers by old professors of international repute.
After reading them, Zuo Li nodded his head repeatedly.
The papers were still very old.
He continued reading and flipped to the last one.
Zuo Li frowned.
As soon as he read the first line, he recognised that it was Ying Zigui’s thesis.
Ying Zidian was not only writing about astrophysics, but also about parallel universes.
The ideas were extremely novel and the references were well-founded.
It is true that she is a little less competent than the old professors in writing papers, but at her age she is already very active.
Once you have read it, you will not forget it.
The International Centre for Physics said that Ying’s paper had been rejected and had not been reviewed.
How come it still appeared in a scientific journal?
Is this a deliberate surprise for him?
Zuo Li was wondering.
Until he saw the name of the author of the paper.
