Chapter 1143 The Mystery of Calculation

A literary battle decided the princess's fate.

Once the princess returns, she will decide with whom Baiyujing will form an alliance.

This is a grand strategy that ordinary people may not be able to see.

However, ordinary people also have a sense of belonging.

Five people from the Ziqiwen Dynasty came to Xiandu. In Xiandu, the capital of the Xiandu dynasty, they defeated the Xian Dynasty with literature. How could the Xian Dynasty bear it?
This is still the perspective of ordinary people.

The vision of true masters of literature and Taoism is not limited to this, they see further...

If it was just a failure, it would be fine. But if it was a crushing defeat, the consequences would be too serious, and it would send a shocking message to the world.

In terms of literature and art, the Ziqi Immortal Dynasty crushes the Dongyu Immortal Dynasty.

Once this conclusion is reached, the most terrible chain reaction will occur.

The geniuses from all walks of life will regard Ziqi Wenchao as a holy place for cultivation!

They will go to Ziqiwenchao for "pilgrimage"!
Once the pilgrimage road is opened, it can never be closed. As one rises and the other falls, the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty will completely decline.

Suddenly, a dragon roared from the high platform!
A long green dragon coiled up into the sky, with endless might, as if a real dragon was reborn.

The third prince Ji Cha's eyes suddenly lit up!
Behind him, the voice of the beautiful lady in white came: "Lu Qingyao once entered the Imperial Nine Dragon Pond and watched dragons for thirteen years. This is his true foundation in painting."

"Can it be done?" Ji Cha uttered three words softly...

A mysterious light suddenly flashed across Lin Su's eyes: "It's broken!"

As soon as the two words came out, the giant dragon grabbed a colorful phoenix under it with one claw. Under the sharp dragon claws, the colorful phoenix's wings were shattered!

"Great!" The whole city shouted, very excited.

However, the sky above the dragon suddenly cracked!

A sword fell from the sky!

Chi!
The dragon's head was split in two!
Its sharp claws tore the colorful phoenix, but the colorful phoenix was just an illusion.

The Heavenly Sword turned and became a paintbrush.

The paintbrush was held in the hand of Zhao Lingyan, who was holding Zi Qi Wen Chao, and the giant dragon transformed into Lu Qingyao again. There was a slight red spot between Lu Qingyao's eyebrows, and his face was pale under Zhao Lingyan's brush.

Zhao Lingyan smiled faintly: "The most important thing in painting is light and shadow. You can't even see through the light and shadow maze I created casually, how can you compete with me?"

The whole city was silent!

A dragon and a phoenix fought for a long time, and every blow was earth-shaking. However, this phoenix was a fake!
It deliberately used itself as bait to lure Lu Qingyao to launch a fatal attack.

But its true form, Zhao Lingyan, was hiding in a place he couldn't see. When he attacked with all his strength, the paintbrush turned into a heavenly sword, and the fight ended with one sword.

People who practice cultivation are accustomed to turning the empty into the real and the real into the empty.

But for those who practice painting, seeing through illusions is a basic skill.

Lu Qingyao lost in this basic skill, and the gap was much greater than everyone saw.

Another crushing defeat!
Inside the palace, the Immortal Emperor slammed the table hard with his hand!

The entire palace seemed to tremble three times...

The Third Prince Ji Cha's face finally lost its calm expression.

God is my witness, it is truly amazing to make a dissolute prince who has always been obsessed with nature become so serious.

But at this moment, he really smelled the crisis.

Taking on the leading role in the Baiyuwen battle under almost impossible circumstances was a great victory for him.

However, if under his leadership, Bai Yuwenzhan was swept and crushed in an extremely tragic way, he, as the leader, would also suffer an extremely huge stain.

This is the double-edged sword of the leader.

You can add points or subtract points!

As long as today's battle situation moves towards this abyss, the little bit of hope he has just awakened will become a noose around his head in the blink of an eye.

On the rooftop of a distant building, the Second Prince stood by the railing, his clothes fluttering gently, and his expression changed dramatically.

An old man beside him exhaled softly: "Your Highness, are you sure now that not leading this event is actually a form of protection for Your Highness?"

The second prince looked up at the sky and said, "In this world, good and bad are interdependent. No one can tell the gains and losses until the final outcome. After losing both games, how will the next battle unfold?"

The old man said, "The third round, let's calculate! Is this woman that Your Highness has always trusted really trustworthy?"

"She is almost unknown in the world, but she is the one who stepped on the Tiansuan Monument!"

"Heavenly Calculation Monument? Stepped on it?" A strange turmoil suddenly appeared on the old man's face...

Above the golden lotus, Lin Su's gaze shifted to Ji Qianling.

Ji Qianling's eyes met his, and an endless wave of calculations instantly flowed through him: "I understand what you mean by pressure, and you don't need to put pressure on me anymore!"

She and he had just analyzed the pressure of the third game in the best-of-five series.

Now is the most stressful time.

In the first two rounds, the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty lost all the games!
The third game directly became the opponent's match point!

Lin Su nodded gently: "I believe you! You can be the first rebel in this dead end!"

"Dead end?" Ji Qianling's eyes were fixed.

"In their opinion... yes!"

"I don't want them to come, I want you to come!"

"I won't go to see it! But I will let them... take a good look!" Lin Su said.

On the leaf of Baiyujing, the elder's flag rose again...

"Round three! Count it down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the central platform in front of him changed again. It seemed to be just an empty platform, but there was a faint light.

It’s a long river!

With a "chi" sound, a man on the high platform of Zi Qi Wen Chao raised his hand, and thousands of abacus chips suddenly combined into a green boat. He stepped on it and rushed towards the long river of abacus.

This person is Huo Dongren, the head of Ziqiwenchao Academy of Mathematics, also known as "Dongren Mathematician".

Ji Qianling gently stretched out his hand, and on his almost transparent hand, there was a stream of light. With this hand, he plucked thousands of lines in the void and combined them into a transparent lotus.

The lotus is a boat that carries her into the long river of Tao.

As soon as the two landed on the long river of calculation, the river suddenly became turbulent and two strange formations were formed.

"Formation?" Duan Wuque frowned slightly.

An old man next to him said: "The formation is just a carrier. This question should be related to the formation."

In the long river of calculation, a round crystal pillar slowly rose up. This pillar was silver-white and extremely holy. On top of the pillar, a question was displayed in public...

"This is the Tianji Three Reverse Formation, which uses this 'Lihuo Crystal' as the energy source of the formation. The Lihuo Crystal pillar is ten feet high and five feet eight inches in diameter. To break this formation, you need to use an equal amount of 'Su Crystal' to hit the center of the formation! This 'Su Crystal' is three inches square. Please answer how many pieces of Su Crystal are needed? The one whose answer is closer to the standard answer wins! If the answers are the same, the one who calculates the result first wins!"

As soon as the question came out, Duan Wuque's expression really changed.

The elder looked at the question, his white beard trembling: "Above the circle!"

"That's right, it's hard to understand the way of heaven's calculations, it's hard!" Duan Wuque sighed deeply.

Most people would be at a loss when seeing a question of this level, but this obviously does not include the Luo Tian Sect, which was founded by the Taoist priests. The Luo Tian Sect elder and Duan Wuque were both people who had practiced the art of astronomy and calculation, but when faced with this question, they were also at a loss.

Because it is difficult to reach the perfect square according to the calculations of heaven.

But this question is above the circle and square.

In other words, even as high-level leaders of the Luotian Sect, they could not solve this problem.

Can Ji Qianling solve it?

They don’t think so!

Although Ji Qianling is a rare genius in the sect and has stepped over the Tiansuan Tablet at a young age, there are no problems of this level in the Tiansuan Tablet.

Ji Qianling stared at the question board in front of him, his heart was in turmoil...

Above the circle!

She had never been there half a month ago.

But thirteen days ago, Lin Su stepped into Luotian Sect and posed a question to Ding Ziyi in public: How many buckets of water would Zen Master Wujue need to carry to fill the square pool using the pair of wooden buckets?

That is above the circle.

Ding Ziyi couldn't figure it out.

Lin Su gave the answer.

However, this answer was given another meaning by the high-ranking members of the Luotian Sect, who were famous throughout the world for their calculations: Lin Su was colluding with the old thief Wujue!
In other words, the old bald thief deliberately tricked Luo Tianzong in order to repay Lin Su's kindness to him.

With this cover, everyone ignored the question itself.

Only Ji Qianling, after Lin Su showed his astonishing wisdom, mentioned it briefly, and actually got the solution to this problem from Lin Su.

After a day and a night of laying the foundation of arithmetic, and a day and a night of spiritual excitement, Ji Qianling has already entered the door to this incredible way of calculation.

Today, in this most crucial game, they actually collided!
Is this really God's will?
Ji Qianling looked towards Lin Su and saw a strange look in his eyes.

The look was not directed at her, but at the mathematician "Mr. Dongren" next to him.

Ji Qianling's eyes followed his gaze and fell on Mr. Dongren's face. The old man's expression was very calm at the moment, and there was a hint of joy in his calmness...

Ji Qianling's heart was shocked.

Could it be that this old man could also solve this problem?
Her mind suddenly came to rest, her mind was empty, and she began to solve the problem...

Half an incense stick!
You could hear a pin drop!

A stick of incense...

Countless people had sweat on their foreheads, and half of the people in Xiandu were staring at the two contestants in the long river of calculation. Even a slight breeze blowing their hair could make people's heart beat faster.

The rules are very clear; the two of them must give an answer in the end.

The one closest to the correct answer wins.

If two people have the same answer, the one who answers first wins.

Therefore, any action of these two people can be regarded as a precursor to answering the question.

The third prince Ji Cha held a cup of tea in his hand, an inch away from his lips.

Deep in the palace, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor stood up and stared at the two people in front of him, his whole body motionless.

An absolute dead silence oppressed the deep palace.

Everyone around Lin Su was also extremely nervous.

This round is so crucial!

If Ji Qianling fails, the next two games will be meaningless. The Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty will be defeated in fact after losing three games.

The White Jade Literary Competition, a grand event that had been prepared for several months, failed, and all the participants lost their reputation...

Only Lin Su sat in his seat, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

Of course, this posture is not enough to show that he is not nervous.

The two incense sticks just ended...

The third incense stick lit...

On the high platform, Dongren Suanzong stood up suddenly, and a row of numbers appeared in the long river of calculation!

Whole country!

Dongren Suanzong gave the answer first!
97805!

On the viewing platform, Duan Wuque's face suddenly turned pale.

At this moment, he seemed to have suffered a fatal blow.

The elder beside him trembled with his beard: "Mr. Wuque, you..."

"I cannot confirm whether he is accurate or not, but with my ability and my astronomical calculations, I can at most determine that the final number is between 95,000 and 100,000. I definitely cannot determine the thousandth place accurately, and this person can actually be accurate to the single digit?"

The elder's expression also changed.

He is also an elder of Luotian Sect, but his divination skills are far inferior to Duan Wuque's.

Duan Wuque couldn't deduce to a thousand digits, and he was even less capable of it.

However, this mathematician from the Ziqiwen Dynasty could calculate with accuracy to the last digit.

If his calculation is closer to the standard answer, what does that mean? It means that this person's calculations have surpassed the entire Luotian Sect!
And the gap is so big that it is almost equivalent to eleven points in Go!
They are experts who see the details, while almost all laymen only see the surface.

The rules state that if the answers are the same, the person who gives the answer first wins.

At present, the master of Ziqiwen Dynasty gave the answer first, and he has taken the lead.

The Third Prince Yu Suandao was not proficient in this field. He could not get the signal of peace of mind or depression from a set of numbers, but like a conditioned reflex, he looked at Lin Su, the only person in the audience who could give him some comfort.

As soon as Lin Su's expression fell into his eyes, the poor Third Prince was struck by lightning.

Because Lin Su's expression was very distressing, Lin Su stared at Dong Ren Suanzong with an incredible expression, which was the same as Duan Wuque's expression.

This is an expression of being completely shocked.

Yes, Lin Su was indeed shocked by him.

It is impossible to calculate the answer to questions like this by force.

You must master the method.

This method is also a complete system. He firmly believes that in this world, no one else except him can master this system.

However, Dongren Suanzong obviously mastered it.

Because his calculations, which were accurate to the single digit, clearly showed that they were calculated, not estimated.

Any estimate cannot be so precise.

This arithmetic system was created by him. No one in the Fairyland knew about it except Ji Qianling. So, where did the Dongren Mathematical Sect of the Ziqiwen Dynasty get this system?

Could it be that someone crossed the line?

Is there a person from the Great Cang Realm who came to the Ziqi Wen Dynasty?
If such a person really exists, the threat to him is fatal.

Because anyone who came out of the Great Cang Realm knew everything about Lin Su...

The third incense stick slowly burned to the end as everyone was extremely worried. Just as the last wisp of incense ash fell, Ji Qianling opened her eyes and a group of numbers shot out from her eyes...

97855!

The difference between the two sets of numbers is 50!

“Check it!” someone below shouted, but the voice was muted immediately after the shout.

Apparently someone had stopped him from making so much noise.

On the high-altitude viewing platform, everyone was of course more restrained, staring intently at the central stage.

On the central platform, Dongren Suanzong laughed: "You have been pretending to calculate for half a day, but in the end you just made up your mind to make an estimate. However, young lady, do you know that your estimate is also designed by me?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Qianling responded indifferently.

Dongren Suanzong laughed and said, "Your sect's celestial calculations cannot solve the problem of the circle and the square. I have already calculated it accurately. You can estimate it, but no matter how you estimate it, you will fall into my calculations. There is a more accurate answer to this problem, which should be a little more than 97805 yuan. This little bit is about % of one yuan. Therefore, I will report such an integer. If you add one yuan to it or subtract one yuan from it, you will lose! Unless you can predict the future and only add % of one yuan, it's a pity that you are not a god!"

After such a long talk, everyone in the room changed color.

Not only is it accurate to the unit place, but it is also accurate to the two places after the unit place.

What kind of calculation is this?

Indeed, if you really can't figure out a calculation like this, there is a way, which is to make an estimate based on the other party's answer!
Anyway, it's either up or down, maybe it's closer to the standard answer?
However, the old man has even calculated this. You will lose if you bet one dollar up or one dollar down, because the standard answer is 97805 dollars more than 0.2 dollars.

No one can estimate it by half a dollar.

So, he will definitely win.

Sweat was pouring down Duan Wuque's face.

He had just said that if he were to calculate, he would not be able to get the thousandth digit accurately, and he regarded the units digit as a miracle. However, this old man was able to calculate not only the units digit, but also 20% of the latter digit.

No matter how he calculated it, stating it so confidently had already dampened everyone's passion.

Lost again?

This defeat is all over.

Ji Qianling smiled coldly: "You even got 20% of the value of one piece, which is really accurate. However, Senior Suanzong, do you really think you can win?"

"Haha! Win or lose?" Dongren Suanzong laughed, "Miss, do you really think that there is suspense about the winner of the White Jade Literary Battle? No! The answer is very cruel. In front of our dynasty, the literary way of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty is really far behind. When the five masters of our dynasty left the capital, they had no idea of ​​winning or losing. We just want everyone in the Eastern Region to see what the literary way is with their own eyes. In the future, if the heroes of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty have the heart to pursue the Tao, you may as well come to my Purple Qi Literary Dynasty to make a pilgrimage. My dynasty will definitely teach sincerely, and we can bathe in the light of the literary way together."

The third prince's face suddenly darkened.

The faces of countless high-ranking officials in the court darkened at the same time.

When the Baiyuwen War first broke out, Duan Wuque had entrusted high-ranking officials from his faction to voice his opposition.

The most important point is that the Bai Yuwen battle is not as simple as imagined.

Its consequences can be serious.

For example, if the Ziqi Wen Dynasty wins the Baiyu Wen War with an overwhelming advantage, many geniuses of the Dongyu Xian Dynasty will want to make pilgrimages to the Ziqi Wen Dynasty. A large number of geniuses will leave the Dynasty and join the Ziqi Wen Dynasty, thus affecting the fortune of the Dongyu Xian Dynasty.

Today, this master of calculation said this in public!
This is incitement to rebellion in public!

This completely confirms what Duan Wuque said at the beginning!

This is the real plan of Bai Yuwenzhan of Ziqiwen Dynasty.

When big forces act, the kung fu is always outside the stage!

Ji Qianling's face suddenly darkened. Her transparent face seemed to have turned into an eternal iceberg at this moment: "Is there no suspense about the outcome? I want to see if there is any suspense! Please check!"

"Let's check it!" The third prince Ji Cha waved his hand gently.

This was the first time he spoke as the leader of the competition.

Above the golden lotus of Baiyujing, the host gently spread out the flag in his hand and said, "I will test your answers in public. According to your answers, I will configure the 'element crystal'. If the answer is correct, the formation will stop. The more thorough the stop, the closer the answer is!"

On the Dongren Suanzong side, 97805 light spots suddenly flew up and merged into the "Three-Reverse Formation" in front of him.

The light spots flew by, and the unpredictable formation suddenly stopped!

When this stops, all changes stop at the same time!

Deep in the palace, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor suddenly closed his eyes.

His fingers sank deeply into the table top. The hard jade table top felt like soft mud under his fingers.

Lost!

Lost all three games!

The battle of Baiyuwen started with great fanfare and ended miserably!

On the Ziqiwenchao side, all the contestants laughed!

The whole city was petrified, and there were even faint cries coming from it...

Dongren Suanzong smiled faintly and turned to Ji Qianling.

Ji Qianling didn't look at him: "Elder, please verify my answer!"

The host of Bai Yujing waved the flag again, and 97855 light spots flew up and merged into the formation in front of her.

The great formation suddenly shook slightly...

With a loud bang, the nine formation bases split at the same time and the formation disappeared into thin air.

On the central platform, there are no longer two identical formations, only one left!
The large formation on Ji Qianling's side disappeared completely and cleanly.

"Completely disappeared! Is that what you mean by completely?" someone shouted on the viewing stand.

"Of course! This means her answer is the closest, no...it can even be said to be the standard answer!"

"what!"

Someone was shouting like crying!

"Won!"

"we won!"

Deep in the palace, His Majesty the Immortal Emperor's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the central Taoist platform in disbelief.

On the central platform, Dongren Suanzong's ever-smiling expression suddenly froze.

His face twitched without any warning, and he looked at Ji Qianling in front of him as if he had seen a ghost.

Ji Qianling smiled again: "Dongren Suanzong, do you still think that I am an estimate? Do you still firmly believe that you can sweep across the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty with your calculations?"

Dongren Suanzong took a deep breath and said, "You...what kind of divination are you using?"

"Want to learn? That's easy!" Ji Qianling said, "Put away your arrogance, pack your bag, and come to my Luotian Sect with a pilgrimage heart. I can teach you!"

puff!
Dongren Suanzong spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ji Qianling took a step into the air and returned to the location of the contestants from the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty.

With a swish, eight figures stood in front of her.

The Grand Secretary of the Imperial Academy of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty smiled and said, "Master Ji, you have worked hard. Please have a cup of tea!"

Two maids, one holding a tray, and the other holding up the tea on the tray, bowed and handed it to Ji Qianling.

Ji Qianling took it and looked at Lin Su...

Lin Su was looking at her with a smile.

A voice entered Lin Su's mind: "The third game was indeed very stressful. Now, in the fourth game, the pressure will be on you."

Lin Su's voice came back, extremely relaxed: "Senior Sister, you are wrong. The pressure is not on me, the pressure is on my poor opponent!"

"Pitiful?"

Lin Su smiled: "I really hope that his Tao heart is stronger, and he won't let this battle make Taoism his lifelong nightmare."

Ji Qianling drank a mouthful of tea and sighed: "Junior brother, you are really tough! I hope you are tough for more than just words!"

Lin Su almost replied to her: Of course, I'm not just tough with my mouth, I'm also incredibly tough somewhere else...

However, this is not appropriate at the moment...

Because the person in front of me is very insensitive to something.

Also because, his battle is about to begin!
