Chapter 54 Proverbs and Incantations? High-Dimensional Script!
The twelve talismans left behind by the Huaijiang witch are a special script with a much larger information content than Chinese characters.

From Li Boyang's perspective, he wouldn't even bother comparing these proverbs and incantations to ordinary writing.

The gap between the two sides is so large that there is simply no basis for comparison.

According to the historical development of the Earth, after the development of writing, human civilization has always tried to use writing to summarize and describe nature.

Thus, in this process, a new, universal system that could encompass all things was born.

This new system is called "numerical," and it is a symbolic system that is different from written language.

Through the symbolic system of numbers, humans are able to describe things and laws in nature more rationally and objectively, and even derive corresponding formulas for generalization.

The methods of extracting the root, the methods of excess and deficiency, the methods of mutual reduction, and the method of seeking oneness through great expansion...

Pythagorean theorem, formula for the area of ​​a circle, formula for the volume of a sphere, mass-energy equivalence formula...

Pi, gravitational acceleration, the golden ratio, Planck's constant, natural constant...

These formulas, built on mathematical foundations and models, can often overcome the barriers of written communication and become a common language between civilizations.

Whether you acknowledge it or not, these numerical values ​​and formulas that objectively summarize the laws of nature are there; the only difference is how they are expressed.

According to Li Boyang's research, these twelve aphorism talismans possess both textual and numerical characteristics.

It is more complex than pure numbers, yet more versatile than ordinary text.

It's a feeling that blends the humanities and the sciences.

It's like when you're writing, you're actually writing a special formula.

If Li Boyang hadn't had decent grades in science in his previous life, he probably wouldn't have been able to decipher the essence of these twelve aphorism talismans.

Even so, Li Boyang was only able to understand and apply two of the proverbs and incantations.

One of them was the talisman that helped Li Boyang expel evil spirits and nurture his primordial spirit.

Because the proverbs that make up this talisman are mostly related to the soul, evil spirits, spirituality, and most non-material attributes, it was named the "Spiritual Talisman" by Li Boyang.

As for the other proverb charm?

It was something that Li Boyang accidentally discovered while compiling breathing techniques and exploring the path of cultivation.

Because the proverbs within it involve a series of special attributes related to energy, such as primordial energy, explosion, mass-energy, circulation, distribution, and transformation, Li Boyang named it the "Energy Talisman".

"This seems a bit different from the talisman you drew last time, doesn't it?"

Xi Luo waited until Li Boyang finished his introductory lessons before frowning and jumping to his side.

At this moment, Li Jingshu was sitting cross-legged in the very center of the courtyard, looking at the complex array-like runes at her feet with curiosity.

Or, to be more precise, it is a talisman that exists in the form of a "formation".

The key nodes that make up the entire formation are the glass beads that Li Boyang refined from five-colored stones.

These glass beads contain the earth's malevolent energy, which can simulate the movement of mountains and rivers and actively draw out the malevolent energy buried beneath the earth.

As for the thick, blood-red ink specifically used to outline proverbs and incantations?
That was a special "blood ink" that Li Boyang mixed with his own blood essence, cinnabar, animal blood, herbs, and mineral slag, and then formulated in a certain proportion.

It's not that Li Boyang didn't want to use simpler materials for the formation.

After repeated divination by the Heavenly Destiny Bone Armor, this was the best material that Li Boyang had on hand that was effective.

The array diagrams drawn with these "blood ink" can maximize the power of the proverbs.

"Hmm, I've modified and simplified the 'energy talisman'..."

Hearing Xi Luo's question, Li Boyang answered without even looking up. Right now, Li Boyang was diligently sketching out that extremely complex incantation.

Meanwhile, he also had to turn the Destiny Bone Armor from time to time to divine whether the actual effect was off, so he really couldn't spare the mind to pay attention to Xi Luo.

"simplify?"

"Why do I feel that this talisman is much more complicated than the original?"

Unconsciously raising an eyebrow, Xi Luo, her curiosity piqued, continued to press for answers.

Have you ever heard the saying, "The greatest truths are the simplest"?

“That ‘energy talisman’ is the Great Dao, and I obviously cannot achieve the level of simplicity.”

“I only need to use the mantras about domination and transformation in the ‘Energy Charms’ for now, so I have to separate these mantras from the ‘Energy Charms’.”

After a slight pause, Li Boyang calmly explained.

“In fact, once these proverbs are separated out, they can no longer be considered ‘energy charms’.”

"This is a completely new type of talisman, derived from 'energy talismans'."

“Until my knowledge reaches the level of the Huaijiang witch, I cannot simplify these proverbs to the level of ‘energy incantations’.”

This statement sounds complicated, but if you really think about it using scientific methods, it's actually just a simple matter of applying formulas.

Einstein's mass-energy equivalence equation is right there; it's like having the formula and the answer ready-made.

Li Boyang only needs to work backwards from this equation to derive the formula he needs.

Of course, Li Boyang's current restructuring has not reached that level yet.

At best, what he is doing now is to extract formulas for finding the legs and hypotenuse from the Pythagorean theorem.

Things like calculating area, trigonometric functions, and the law of cosines are clearly beyond Li Boyang's current capabilities to handle.

It is precisely because of insufficient knowledge.

Even with the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor, a cheat-like artifact, Li Boyang couldn't simplify these proverbs to the level of an [energy talisman] all at once.

It might not be fair to call it superfluous, but it certainly makes things more complicated than they should be.

A top student can solve a difficult problem with just one formula.

For someone with poor academic performance, being able to calculate the final answer is already quite good; there's no need to demand that the calculation process be concise and clear.

"So, what exactly are you planning to do?"

The more she looked at it, the more dizzy she felt, so Xi Luo decisively stopped looking at the formation.

Since I don't intend to seek a thorough understanding like Li Boyang, why should I waste my energy on this?

When Li Boyang simplifies this talisman to the level of an "energy talisman," he can simply use it directly.

Regarding her mindset, Xi Luo, who has always been a poor student, muttered to herself.

"What?"

"Of course, it's to solve the problems with the eldest daughter."

"If everything goes smoothly, the eldest girl may no longer have to worry about her lack of vitality."
