It is June in the world, and the red sun is scorching.
On Shanggong Island, the Meishan Mountain to the west is full of cold plum blossoms, standing proudly against the wind.
Meishan is close to the sea, and the cliffs are not high. At the foot of the mountain next to the sea, there is a platform, only Zhang Xu from the water.
A grand bamboo house stands on the platform. The green bamboo house and the plum blossoms in full bloom stand side by side in the wind, with the boundless blue sea as the background. Living here is like living in a picture.
In front of the bamboo house, there is a flat land, which is not only constructed extremely flat, but also painted black.
An old man in rough clothes and disheveled hair was squatting on the flat black ground, fiddling with calculations.
His counting chips are long and segmented, round and square, and it seems that different shapes represent different numbers and symbols.
At first, the old man moved very fast, but later, it became slower and slower.
The huge counting chip almost occupied the entire black land of three feet square.
Finally, the old man held a counting chip in the shape of a white chess piece in his hand, and did not move for a while.
This stop lasted for half an hour, and the old man's eyes were fixed on the black ground, and his vision changed from converging to empty.
It seems that the mind is traveling outside the sky, and the soul is out of the body.
Suddenly, in the counting box outside the black ground, a white chess jumped up in the air, and placed it precisely and accurately in a position on the black ground.
The old man was frightened, he came to his senses, looked up the counter, suddenly, slapped, slapped his thighs continuously, excited like a child, jumping and jumping, shouting "God's will!"
Immediately, the old man came to his senses and realized that all of this was of course not God's will, but that someone had come, and when he turned his head, he saw a bearded young man in a blue shirt standing in the distance, looking over with a smile.
The face of the bearded young man was extremely strange, with a very different temperament, which he had never seen before.
"I don't know if you are from the Saint Clan or the Taiqing Shangpai. Your talent in arithmetic is astonishing."
The old man clasped his fists and said.
The bearded young man smiled and said, "Senior, but you can't even recognize the junior?"
As he spoke, Xu Yi changed his appearance and became Wang Qianqiu.
In the past twenty years, his cultivation base has improved greatly, and his temperament has changed drastically. Even if he turns into Wang Qianqiu at this moment, the old man is still in a daze for a long time without making a sound.
Suddenly, a wine jar flew towards the old man, the old man caught it, and then he opened the cover, smelling the aroma of the wine, his complexion changed drastically, and he lost his voice, "I knew it, I knew it... you are a scourge, you can't die, you can't die …”
Xu Yizao sacrificed the Boundary Barrier Bead, although the old man lost his composure, no outsider noticed it.
This old man is of course Elder Bai, and the wine jar that Xu Yi gave earlier was exactly the fine wine that he presented to flatter Elder Bai when he first met Elder Bai.
Now his temperament has changed drastically. Although he looks like Wang Qianqiu, Elder Bai is cautious by nature, so he can't trust him.
After seeing the jar of wine, Xu Yi's identity was naturally confirmed.
Xu Yi grabbed Elder Bai's trembling hand, only then did he notice that Elder Bai had aged a lot.
In the past, in order to help Elder Bai regain his vitality, he did not hesitate to use a large number of treasures such as the golden soul fruit.
Unexpectedly, twenty years have passed, and Elder Bai is so old that people dare not take a closer look.
Elder Bai noticed the change in Xu Yi's expression, waved his hands and said, "The world has undergone drastic changes, and our Donghua Immortal Sect cannot be at peace. It’s been so hard, it’s worth it to keep my Donghua Immortal Gate’s prestige alive!”
Elder Bai spoke cryptically, but Xu Yi understood.
In the past twenty years, Elder Bai probably contributed a lot of wonderful skills to Donghua Xianmen.
At least those three-five-seven swords were used by Xu Yi, who was envoyed by the Lord Zifu of Donghua Immortal Gate back then.
This exercise was not taught by Elder Bai, who else could it be.
"By the way, don't just reminisce about the past, help the old man first and solve this problem. I'm getting old, and I'm really out of energy. It's been almost a month, and I still haven't figured out this high-order multiplier."
Elder Bai grabbed Xu Yi and pulled towards the black ground.
Xu Yi knew his temperament, if he didn't understand this question, the old man would not calm down and listen to him.
Just now, when Elder Bai was playing tricks, Xu Yi had already seen all the problems, and he had already made up his mind.
But he saw that he had counted chips, three times, five times and two divisions, and then he finished fiddling.
Elder Bai stared at the counting chips on the black ground for a long time, and suddenly, he took out an audio-visual bead, and copied all the counting chips on the ground.
"I haven't seen you in twenty years. Your numerology is so strong that you have seen the way of heaven. Very good, really good."
Elder Bai praised again and again, both gratified and excited.
Fortunately, Xu Yi did not forget what he said, and he never lost his numeracy study.
What's exciting is that Xu Yi's current level of numerology is so high that he can't look up to him. With this guy around, his future studies will definitely go smoothly.
Xu Yi pulled Elder Bai and sat down under the old tree in front of the bamboo house. He set up two wine jars and a pile of cooked meat, "Talk about numbers, we have plenty of time, senior, do you know why my cave was destroyed?" , where did my servant girl go?"
When Xu Yi returned to Donghua Immortal Gate, he didn't find this place directly.
The first thing he returned to was his own cave. When he left, he set up restrictions and left enough cultivation resources and living supplies for Yan Zi.
He believed that even if he left for twenty years, Yan Zi would definitely wait for him in the cave.
But when he sneaked back to the island and released his divine thoughts, there was no sign of Yan Zi, and even the cave was razed to the ground. There were no people on the island, but there were many spirit beasts.
It seems that his cave has been converted into an animal pen and pasture.
Afterwards, he went to the Gongfa Building again, but he failed to find any trace of Elder Bai. After several twists and turns, he finally found Elder Bai here.
Elder Bai picked up the wine jar and took a full sip, "The old man has only been busy studying the exercises these years, counting, and there are many things that he doesn't know clearly."
"Nowadays, the Gongfa building has also been replaced by someone else at the helm. The old man is basically waiting to kick his legs and close his eyes. As for your commanding girl, I have heard of it. The head teacher attaches great importance to it. I taught it myself. What happened later, I I don't know either."
Xu Yi secretly praised Master Zhu for keeping his promise.
At the beginning, when he entered the East Sea Monster Territory, he was planning to find the land of fire spirits and condense the seeds of Tianyuan.
Zhu Zhangjiao once pretended to be a fortune teller and intercepted him, but he saw it through.
After some exchanges, Master Zhu had promised that as long as Xu Yi lived up to the Donghua Immortal Sect, he would do his best to protect it, and promised to take care of Yan Zi.
Xu Yi did not expect that Zhu Zhang would personally teach Yan Zi.
This favor is greatly owed.
After receiving the news of Yan Zi, Xu Yi's heart was more than half relieved.
He grabbed a deer leg, gnawed it, and said, "Could it be that my cave, or after Yan Zi's absence, the sect took it back and turned it into a pasture?"
Elder Bai's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer.
Xu Yi thought about it, and smiled, "I see, it was my enemies who did it. I haven't returned for 20 years, and I don't know if I'm alive or dead. I'm afraid there are not a few people who think that Wang is dead. They can't beat me, and they vent their anger with these disgusting things." , It's really indecent, but I don't know who can have the cheek to do this."
