Chapter 725: Time and Fate (Two in One)
"Girl? Do you want to buy it?"
Seeing Liu Sheng standing there in a daze for a long time, the stall owner put down the formation pen and formation plate in his hands, rubbed his hands which had frostbite from holding the pen in this cold environment for a long time, leaned forward and asked a question.
Liu Sheng came back to his senses, his throat suddenly felt dry: "Buy."
"Which one do you want? These basic array plates are each worth one spiritual essence, and these compound advanced array plates are more expensive. The prices vary. It depends on which one you choose."
"This is a unique wind control formation on the snow mountain. It is adjusted according to the strength of the strong wind on this side of the snow mountain. It can use the wind power to travel. If you go up the mountain, you will know its wonderful use..."
Liu Sheng looked at the other party who was explaining the usefulness of these formation plates quite skillfully. It was obvious that he was already quite familiar with setting up a stall to sell formation plates, and he couldn't help but feel even more complicated.
The person in front of him was an acquaintance of Liu Sheng's - Yao Sibing, the Grand Secretary of the National Academy.
only……
Liu Sheng's gaze was fixed on the collar of the man's fur coat, which was greasy with years of wear, and the leather was rough and mottled. His hair was gray and disheveled, and the face beneath his hair was haggard and covered with sun spots and frostbite.
At first glance, I thought he was an old farmer in the mountains. Who would have thought he was a monk?
This is completely different from the dignified appearance of Academician Yao in my memory, who wore a purple ribbon and brocade robe.
Because of the synchronization of memories in Heaven, she knew that in another world, Yao Sibing was at the Tianjian launch base in Mobei, fighting side by side with another "Liu Sheng", quietly preparing for the Xianzhou plan.
Scholar Yao is now in great glory. On the surface, he has developed a large number of new formations for the first technological revolution in the Tang Dynasty, involving infrastructure, military, daily life and other aspects...
At the same time, they study the development of the core array of the fairy boat day and night, as well as the development and research of the arrays of other supporting facilities, and use this to feed back to the daily needs of the people.
Now, he is even becoming the undisputed number one engineer after the former Minister of Works Ling Fu who has resigned.
However, for Liu Sheng, the sparks in Yao Sibing's eyes when he talked about the formation plate were still exactly the same.
"Okay, I'll take these three."
After Yao Sibing finished explaining, Liu Sheng flipped through it and took out three formation plates placed on the bottom layer.
There are corrugated array plates, splitting array plates and coupled array plates.
Yao Sibing was a little surprised when he saw this, and couldn't help but persuade: "These arrays are all functional arrays designed by me. They are useless alone. Miss, why don't you consider other ones?"
Liu Sheng shook his head: "These are all I need."
Yao Sibing's eyes widened a little.
Liu Sheng slowly said, "Have you modified the array patterns of these array plates?"
"The circular loop of the ripple array has been changed into multiple spirals to enhance the wave amplification effect; the decomposition array pattern has been simplified, but more in-depth, as if it is intended to perform targeted and precise decomposition..."
"As for the coupling array, it's even better. With an additional circle of grooves, it's no longer a horizontal coupling, but can have multiple arrays in parallel."
With every word Liu Sheng spoke, Yao Sibing's eyes widened wider, and even a hint of excitement gleamed in his eyes.
"Old Yao, I didn't expect that there would be people who appreciate your useless and weird ways." The stall owner next to him suddenly interrupted.
Suddenly, a low laugh was heard nearby.
"Girl, don't be fooled by him. No one wants his tricks on the snowy mountains."
"Yes, girl, you might as well buy something practical. His craftsmanship is pretty good, but he always likes to add some little tricks."
"Or you can come to my place! The things here are practical and affordable!" someone else directly recruited.
Yao Sibing's face turned red after being told this, and he stammered, not knowing how to refute.
Liu Sheng ignored him and just asked Yao Sibing:
"So, you should also be a researcher from the Snow Mountain?"
Yao Sibing's expression froze, his excitement disappeared in an instant, and he immediately regained some of his indifference.
"If you're buying these array plates to get close to me or to get me to recommend you, then forget it. I'm only a first-level researcher. You can see from the fact that I haven't even set up a stall outside that I can't help you."
Liu Sheng shook his head: "I don't want to be recommended internally."
"Girl, if you want to consult me about the Snow Mountain Open Recruitment, you can ask me!" The stall owner next to her came over immediately, "It only costs six Spiritual Essence!"
The trainees at the opposite booth also became excited.
"I know the girl is looking for me! And don't listen to his nonsense, a first-level researcher can also be recommended! Five Spiritual Elements, I guarantee you all the questions and recommendations!"
Word spread quickly, and the practitioners in the alley began to invite Liu Sheng.
But Five Spirit Yuan should be the bottom price, there is no lower price.
"Girl, don't even think about it. There's no place cheaper than ours outside of Ma Liu Lane."
Liu Sheng still ignored him and looked at Yao Sibing.
He put the three array plates into a box as if it had nothing to do with him, and said, "A total of three spiritual essences."
She took out three spirit essences and then took the initiative to speak: "Senior, I have something to ask you about the formation plate. How about I treat you to a meal? Of course, the consultation fee is extra."
Yao Sibing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help swallowing.
Liu Sheng guessed that there might not be anything delicious to eat on the snowy mountain.
Especially these first-level researchers, who are short of spiritual energy as funds for their research, can only live frugally and even set up stalls. No wonder Yao Sibing looks so haggard and thin.
"Let's go."
Yao Sibing didn't think about it anymore and waved his hand to close his stall.
"Old Yao, you finally tricked someone into eating delicious food?" the researcher next to him said indignantly.
"Girl, don't be fooled by this guy named Yao."
"Yes, and you'd better pay attention to what he told you. Don't sign up for his class. Otherwise, if you fail the exam, don't blame us for not reminding you."
"Yes, this old Yao is taking the crooked path, please don't lead you astray."
Yao Sibing clenched his fists but remained silent in anger.
He took Liu Sheng and walked a few steps faster, out of the narrow Ma Liu Lane.
Liu Sheng was puzzled: "Why do they all say..."
Yao Sibing simply said: "Girl, if you don't want to be despised like me on the snowy mountain, don't ask too many questions."
Liu Sheng knew that Yao Sibing didn't want to say anything, so he stopped asking and followed Yao Sibing through many turns and into another alley.
There was a sesame seed cake stand deep in the alley. Yao Sibing was obviously very familiar with the owner. As soon as he sat down, the owner smiled and asked, "Old Yao, long time no see. Would you like two beef sesame seed cakes today?"
Yao Sibing swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and raised three fingers.
"I want three today."
After saying that, he looked at Liu Sheng embarrassedly.
Liu Sheng smiled and ordered a lamb and a beef.
He looked around and said in a low voice, "This boss's cooking is very heavy, and only northerners can eat it. There are not many northerners in the snowy mountains, so few people come here."
Liu Sheng blinked his eyes. It seemed that Yao Sibing was trying his best to avoid appearing in front of the Snow Mountain People. The sesame cakes were baked and served.
Liu Sheng took a bite and nearly knocked out his teeth.
And the filling inside is so salty, I finally understand what Yao Sibing said.
But seeing that Yao Sibing seemed to be enjoying the food, it was probably because he was just hungry for a long time and was greedy.
"In short, if you are seen with me, I'm afraid you will be chased down the mountain before you even get to the top."
"Different ideas?"
Yao Sibing was surprised: "How did you know?"
Liu Sheng thought of how Yao Sibing had been ridiculed by other researchers just now. They were all first-level researchers, so it was impossible for them to be excluded just because of their status. It must be some other reason.
And Yao Sibing didn't refute it, probably because he had no way to refute it.
So Liu Sheng said it, and Yao Sibing sighed silently.
"Yes……"
"But I still say the same thing. If you want to survive in the Snow Mountain, don't follow my old path."
"Your old path?" Liu Sheng lowered his voice and said slowly, "Does it mean that you don't respect Shintoism?"
Yao Sibing paused. He didn't expect Liu Sheng to be so perceptive.
"You are indeed a smart person..."
He took a deep breath, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the crowd hurrying outside the alley. The alley was quiet with only two or three diners and the sound of sizzling oil in the pan.
"But being smart isn't necessarily a good thing. You and I are similar. After all, from what you just said, I can already see some of your shadows."
"It's not that I don't have faith. I just think that Shinto may provide guidance, but if we put everything on Shinto, we will lose the fundamental desire of 'people' to seek knowledge..."
He laughed at himself: "So my way of study is different from others. The gods have given me everything, including spiritual energy, formation patterns and the Great Dao... They are not always the same to me, nor are they impossible to explore... But on the snowy mountains, this is the way of chaos."
Here, things got a little deep, and Yao Sibing finally stopped talking.
"Forget it, let's not talk too much. It's still unclear whether you can climb the snow mountain."
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You are a smart person, and you are also suitable for training. I will tell you about this open recruitment."
"Lest you follow my path..."
Liu Sheng didn't expect that Yao Sibing was suddenly willing to talk about it, which was quite surprising.
Yao Sibing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, my fee is not expensive. I see that you are not from a wealthy family, so I will charge you four spirit essences. How about that? I will also give you the formation plate for your reference."
Liu Sheng understood instantly.
But it doesn’t matter, he nodded again.
So Yao Sibing slowly told Liu Sheng about the model of this unified recruitment, which was practice plus examination.
When it comes to the practical part, what is more crucial is what Yao Sibing said about what the daily work of a training attendant, or what everyone calls a "job errand", should be.
"But I'm telling you, don't really position yourself as someone who handles trivial daily chores. If you don't demonstrate your ability, you won't be able to participate in the core training projects, no matter how many chores you do."
"Of course, if you want to know more, I'm afraid you'd better go and sign up for a course outside. I don't have time to explain too much, and I'm afraid I'll mislead you. If you're worried about money, I can recommend you a cheaper one."
Yao Sibing didn't know Liu Sheng's resume, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.
But for Liu Sheng, it was enough to understand what a training assistant in this era should do, which just filled the gap in her knowledge.
Therefore, Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "I won't sign up for the class."
Yao Sibing looked suspicious and continued, "As for the exam...since Senior Sister Nangong set the questions herself, we don't know the specific questions. But even if we knew...I don't care what others think, I won't reveal it anyway."
"clear."
"But I can tell you one direction...Have you read Senior Sister Nangong's recent article?"
Liu Sheng nodded: "Of course I have studied it."
Yao Sibing asked again: "Do you understand? If you don't understand, you can add ten... eight, no, one spiritual essence, and I will explain it to you."
Yao Sibing didn't seem to have much confidence, or he thought he could get along well with Liu Sheng, which was why he kept bargaining.
But he was confident that Liu Sheng would definitely need his help.
Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng shook his head: "It's okay, I already understand."
Yao Sibing was surprised, then frowned.
He is a person who seeks truth the most. He hates others pretending to know something they don't, and not being humble and studious.
"This article is very important. Since Senior Sister Nangong is the examiner, she will definitely ask questions around it. If you don't read it thoroughly, it will be difficult to pass the exam. But to be honest, we don't quite understand the theory in this article. I heard that it was the editor-in-chief Mei of "Theory of Cultivation" who insisted on publishing this article."
Liu Sheng suddenly remembered that Mei Yuanzheng was also the chief editor of "Theory of Cultivation". So since he had set out on the journey ten days ago, he should have read Senior Sister Nangong's article, but he didn't say anything.
So, was sending her to the Snow Mountain to be a waitress, like sending other elders from other sects, also for a special purpose?
Now I can’t quite understand Mei Yuanzheng’s plan.
In response to Yao Sibing's words, as well as his expression of doubt and disappointment, Liu Sheng said calmly: "Of course I understand."
Yao Sibing didn't believe it and took out "The Theory of Cultivation" from his storage bag.
This latest edition had been flipped through by him and was wrinkled, with various notes and scraps of paper stuck on it.
He pointed to one of the formulas and asked, "Can you explain the derivation process of this formula?"
He specifically chose a sentence from the middle of the article. If you understand the way of study, it is not difficult, but this sentence connects the previous and the next sentences. If you are not clear about the whole article, you will definitely not be able to explain it.
However, Liu Sheng took out a pen and paper without hesitation, and quickly wrote down a whole paragraph of derivation, while explaining: "This formula mainly explains the corresponding relationship between space expansion and different energies..."
From the moment he saw the derivation process, Yao Sibing was already convinced that Liu Sheng did understand it; and after her explanation, Yao Sibing even found that Liu Sheng's understanding was better than his own.
Yao Sibing even took out a few formulas and asked Liu Sheng about them.
Liu Sheng answered them one by one.
Yao Sibing's eyes lit up as he recorded everything.
Later, Liu Sheng asked back about some doubts, and Yao Sibing said what he could. However, when it came to some deeper doubts, it involved the secrets of the snow-capped mountains. He wanted to say something but hesitated. Seeing this, Liu Sheng had no choice but to give up.
"You'll know when you come to the snowy mountains."
Until now, Yao Sibing didn't think that this girl would not be able to pass the entrance exam to Xueshan, so he was very direct.
Now he can understand why others don’t need internal referrals and don’t sign up for tutoring classes.
One can only sigh that it is fate and time. If this girl were in the past, she would definitely become a researcher...
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Ling Sheng." Liu Sheng replied with a bow.
