Chapter 183 Everything Goes Well

Three days, three whole days, Ximen Gong basically survived by relying on the pills he carried with him.

This kind of calculation was fine once or twice, but after three days of such high-intensity calculations, even the computer in his hand had become hot, and it made a crackling sound when he put his hand on it.

He had to use magic to condense clear water from the moisture in the sky and earth to create a puddle, and then throw the computer directly into it to cool it down.

The moment it was put in, the pool of water began to boil, with a billowing white smoke, which was particularly eye-catching in the eternal late autumn season of the ancient battlefield.

A pool of water is about less than one cubic meter. Three pools of water have been replaced in these three days.

The reason is simple, it’s steamed dry!
Ximen Gong was so distressed, this thing cost 20,000 gold per unit... It was not available in Cangzhou. If he wanted to buy it, he had to send someone to Yuezhou to buy it...

Yuezhou is a million miles away from here. I don't know how much the round-trip fare is. If I let the servants ride the spirit horse to make the journey, using the top spirit horse that can travel 3,000 miles a day and travel long distances, that is, the level of the dragon, it will take 300 days to get there... and the return trip will take more than 600 days! It will take two full years to get it. In these two years, the spirit materials for feeding this horse are two gold coins every day, which means more than a thousand gold coins have been spent, not to mention other expenses and risks on the road.

Or he could ask elders of the seventh or eighth realm to personally purchase it across the Divine Dynasty. Ximen Gong couldn’t afford that either… Ximen family’s ancestor wasn’t at that level either.

So, this stuff is really worth it.

And now, such a precious thing is rapidly consuming its lifespan.

During these three days, the computer's service life was shortened by at least thirty or forty years due to such rough usage, and many of its parts have even been deformed.

This level of calculation will burn up more than just the computer.

And Ximen Gong’s own brain.

After three days and three nights of intense mental work and calculations, Ximen Gong's brain was almost boiled, so that his forehead was red and his eyes were bloodshot.

If you put your hand on his forehead, you can clearly feel it's hot. This is not a fever, it's simply a brain overload.

He had to take a lot of pills to keep himself in shape and stay awake.

But... Ximen Gong still didn't stop.

He knew that this was his chance, maybe even his only chance, and he had to seize it. Once he was able to enter the Imperial Academy, the Ximen family might be able to obtain other excellent cultivation methods... and he himself might also be able to obtain a higher official position.

Perhaps the entire Ximen family may be able to be promoted to a higher level, and no longer be the bottom family in Cangzhou.

Must be caught.

It doesn’t matter even if you’re overdrawn.

So, he gritted his teeth and held on until the third day, until Shui Cangcang said, "Found it."

After hearing this, Ximen Gong fainted and fell down, with his face pressed against the hot computer switch, making a crackling sound.

But he didn't wake up!

Gao Jian was startled and quickly pulled him up, only to see that there was a layer of burns on his face, but he seemed unaware and was just sleeping soundly.

"I guess he was really pushed to the limit. It's not easy to hold on, but it's also thanks to him." Shui Cangcang glanced at Ximen Gong: "What do you say? Leave him here and we go by ourselves?"

"That's too dangerous. I'll carry him on my back." Gao Jian carried the man on his back and tied him up with a rope: "Let's go, let's go to the core of the disaster."

"From the area we have calculated now, the cause of the disaster is the riot in Huangquan, but this Huangquan riot is obviously abnormal. It is caused by something. If we can calm down that thing, we can calm down the disaster." Shui Cangcang said so while looking at the notes in his hand.

The notes contained all the speculations and results they obtained during the three-day work process.

There are some mistakes among them, and it can even be said that most of them are mistakes, but trial and error is also part of the cost.

After three days and three nights of sleepless efforts, they have finally found the real cause of the disaster through clues and precise data calculations.

There is something, I don't know what it is, let's temporarily name it the 'source of death disaster', its nature should be 'Ji Yin Earth, Yi Yin Wood'.

It is said that when Ji Yin Earth meets Yi Wood, it becomes a ghost, and when Xin becomes the ghost of Yi Wood, it changes the official of Yin and Mao into Ji Earth ghost. In the three-way combination of Hai, Mao and Wei, it is a ghost attack, and it offends the ghost's howl. Therefore, it is the master of evil death, like a matchmaker in Qiankun. If Yin and Yang lose this, they lose the neutral energy. How can it not be damaged?
The source of death and disaster, the nature of Ji Yin Earth and Yi Yin Wood, if added with Huangquan, will produce corresponding changes.

Water has the merit of moistening the earth and nourishing all things. In the sky it is rain and dew, on the ground it is springs, and Huangquan itself is the extreme of Yin water, the source of death and disaster, its fortune is in Zi, which is the place where Yin is at its extreme and Yang is born, the wall where Xin is born and Geng dies, and if Yin wood wants to run its roots, it can dredge Yin soil.

Since the soil is loose, the sleeping souls beneath the ground will instantly wake up under such thick yin energy.

This was the result of the three people's hard work for a long time. It was mixed with the knowledge of many Feng Shui masters, wizards, Taoists, and scholars. To be honest, even Shui Cangcang felt lucky.

If one wants to truly follow the clues of the disaster and find the ultimate source, the knowledge required is too complicated. The right way is to form an alliance like the Wang family, with everyone contributing a little and slowly exploring.

but……

It was only thanks to Gao Jian and Shui Cangcang that they actually worked hard to complete the knowledge.

Moreover, Ximen Gong is also a key point. If Gao Jian and Shui Cangcang were to calculate, even if they had clear ideas and knew various formulas, they would have to calculate for at least a month or half a month before they could determine whether they were right or wrong.

Ximen Gong tried his best, and even overdrawn his lifespan to achieve the speed, so that they could complete this miracle within three days. Shui Cangcang continued to look at his notebook and said, "The source of the disaster, according to these properties and Ximen Gong's calculations, should be in our direction, about one degree south of Tianyi, where there is a comet. We can get there in about two hours."

Gao Jian carried Ximen Gong on his back and asked as he walked forward, "Where is the Wang Family Alliance? They shouldn't be following us, right?"

Shui Cangcang also followed and shook his head: "No, their calculation speed is much slower than ours. Their level is really poor. With more people, the efficiency has dropped."

The two of them walked lightly, flew through the air, and then fell down. Their speed was not slow, but it was not fast either. They kept it that way to conserve their strength.

"With more people, there are more places to negotiate. Although the overall strength is greater, internal friction is more likely to occur. Their alliance itself is a combination of several aristocratic families, and they have ulterior motives within. They are even wary of us. What's more, those people's brains may not be as good as ours. How can they beat us simply in terms of speed?" Gao Jian said so, and then avoided the obstacles in front of him.

"The Wang family is not fit to be leaders." Shui Cangcang said with some disdain: "But they know little, which is indeed one of the reasons. If we really want to judge the background of these things, the only one who can really match us should be the Zuo family, but they probably can't catch up."

"Zuo family..." Gao Jian's expression was a little subtle, but he still concealed it. What are the three people from the Zuo family doing now?

I hope you don't give up, cheer up, and don't let him down... If you give up, Gao Jian will have to take risks.

Only if you don't give up can everything develop according to plan.

The two stopped talking and walked straight towards the source of the disaster.

Two hours passed by in a blink of an eye.

There were no major disturbances along the way. There were indeed some ghosts who wanted to stop them, but Gao Jian and Shui Cangcang were strong enough that these ghosts could not cause much hindrance.

Ghosts that are quite dangerous to ordinary young masters of noble families are not a problem at all for Gao Jian and Shui Cangcang. As long as they don’t get besieged by multiple ghosts of the fifth realm, there will be no problem.

Thus, they had safely passed through the plague of death and arrived at a place where no ghosts existed.

"Something is not right. There are still some ghosts on the road, but there are none here. Is it because we have found the place?" Shui Cangcang looked around.

Gao Jian squatted down and observed for a while: "We should have arrived at the place. Yin soil, Yin wood, and Yin water, the three Yins are in charge, and the Fu hexagram is in power. The heaven and earth are not connected, and all things are not connected, so there are no living things. But since the Yin soil is connected, the ground veins can flow smoothly, and Gui water can flow. Gui is living water, and it is a pattern of life in death, so Yin ghosts will not appear here."

"If our previous speculation is correct, if we dig out the Yellow Spring below, we may be able to see it."

"The Yellow Spring here is Guishui, and with the addition of Kuntu and Gengjin in Shen, it forms a dam, which prevents Guishui from flowing freely. It is trapped in the pond and has no place to go. How can it produce any life? Therefore, Guishui is born in Mao and dies in Shen. It is called dead water. Dead water is strong water. It depends on Gengjin to be born, and thus the disaster of death is born."

"So, the source of the disaster of death should be something of the nature of Gengjin, it should be a sword, or something like a thorn, which affected Huangquan through this, and then the disaster of death broke out." Gao Jian made his own analysis.

Shui Cangcang nodded. The reasoning was smooth and reasonable. There was no problem, except for Gao Jian's outrageous knowledge reserve... But he had become numb about this.

"But you said that the Kun Earth and Geng Metal in Shen surrounded the Gui Water. What is the nature of this Kun Earth?" Shui Cangcang asked.

"It should be 'Model'. This sword, or something like a thorn, is made of a model. So... maybe it's not the common steel sword we see. It may be made of bronze or something like that." Gao Jian said.

The model is something like sand and clay, sometimes also called a mold. It is the characteristics of Kun soil that can contain Geng metal and give it shape, and it can also cover part of its sharpness and make it tougher.

There are also techniques such as 'covering the soil and burning the blade', which also use this principle to make Geng metal thicker and less likely to break.

The material used to forge the sword is definitely not Thousand Forged Steel, but more likely bronze, or tin, and in a few cases, cast iron.

But if it is a sharp weapon like a sword, tin is too brittle, and iron is too heavy and not sharp, so bronze is more likely.

"If my guess is correct, the source of the disaster should be a bronze sword, a bronze thorn or something like that. It's nearby. We have to dig three feet into the ground to find it. If we can't find it, it means that we have miscalculated before and we have to start over." Gao Jian put Ximen Gong on the ground. The kid hasn't woken up yet.

Forget it, let him sleep. After all, even Gao Jian can’t calculate those things. It’s hard for him.

"I don't think we need to dig three feet into the ground." Shui Cangcang said, closing his eyes and visualizing in his mind.

Kinnara appears here.

In the Nara Dharma Song, the laws of the Buddha's kingdom are inserted here, and the power of the Garbha-dhatu Mandala gives birth to the Pure Land.

The Pure Land can expel all "impure" things, and this impurity is actually based on the practitioner's own feelings. The practitioner will expel whatever he feels is impure.

But this does not rely entirely on definition, but is a completely real inner feeling that cannot be faked. Even the caster himself cannot control it unless he can hypnotize himself.

Because of this, the nature of each person’s Pure Land is different.

The nature of Shui Cangcang's Pure Land is quite terrifying. He almost expels everything, which means that in Shui Cangcang's heart, most things in this world are not worthy of being close to him. He relies purely on "cultivation" to deal with people. This also leads to different consumption due to different things expelled. Shui Cangcang's consumption is more than sixty times that of Gao Jian.

If possible, such as the moment of opening the Pure Land, almost nothing can stay by his side.

Such as now.

Shui Cangcang opened up the pure land with ease, and a semicircular circle of pits appeared on the surface.

In just a moment, he put away the Pure Land.

Then he dropped down and opened it again.

Another spherical space appeared.

This process was repeated until a passage appeared soon, and the excess soil was forced to the surrounding area.

"What efficiency, wow." Gao Jian exclaimed in amazement, then jumped down.

"It's very close to the Yellow Spring, at most a mile deep. After ten times it's... empty?" Shui Cangcang said, but saw that the soil below disappeared, revealing the underground cave below.

"It's normal that it's empty. The surging of the earth's energy will create a cavity. We are just lucky to have found it in one go." Gao Jian looked around and touched the surrounding walls.

Wet and without much vegetation, this underground cavity is a recent creation.

Just like bubbles in the water, when the earth's air surges, it will also create bubble-like cavities underground, which are the source of various caves.

"The wall still retains the earth's energy. This is a new cave that has been discovered in recent days. If we follow the nearby yellow clouds and touch the Yellow Spring, we will find the source of the disaster." Gao Jian said.

"Okay, this is really easy. I'll get the place in Imperial College then." Shui Cangcang nodded, closed his eyes and began to sense the density of the yellow clouds around him.

Where the concentration is high is where the Yellow Spring is.

However, at this moment, the earth's energy rioted!
