Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"Isn't this the Supreme Being's forgetfulness?"

"I guess you feel something. I guess you are trapped in worldly things, so you feel it."

"Yeah." Shangluo nodded, "Because there is an exam tomorrow - the reason is that there is an exam tomorrow. This exam is actually very important, but I feel like it is not too important because there are too many equally important things. . I have such responsibilities, such responsibilities, and everything is important. It makes me wonder what I am here to do."

"You're here to eat wontons. Otherwise, what else could you do? Eat it, eat it, and don't let it get cold again."

"It doesn't get cold that easily, right?" Shangluo poked at it with a spoon, "Is it really cold?"

"You have too many things to do. You have too many worries." Sa Shoujian ate wontons. Although he came early in the morning, his wontons were still hot, "However, I don't suggest you make any decision now. Think twice when something happens. After all, this is your own business. So my suggestion is that you go back and take a nap first." .”

He looked at Shangluo: "Go back and take a nap, and then come back to me tomorrow. Think twice before thinking three times. This is my habit. So if you have any plans, come back and talk to me tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest today. But I What I want to tell you is that even if I am too ungrateful, I don’t care about anything. Only you and Yan Qiu are important to me now. Nothing else is as good as this bowl of wontons."

Chapter 677 Future

"The only ones I miss are you and Yanqiu. Nothing else is as good as this bowl of wontons." In the evening breeze before the winter solstice, a strange old man wearing sunglasses said this.

This year, the winter solstice has not yet arrived, and he is already very busy. But sitting here and eating a bowl of wontons with familiar elders, he felt a lot better.

"I remember that Senior Fu Yuanshan is also your disciple?"

"Who?"

"Ah, Xiaofu." Sa Shoujian took a second to remember, "You suddenly called me senior. I haven't remembered who it was because I never called him by his name. I don't need to worry about that kid. Xiu Fu Yuan You have your own blessings, and no one else can take care of them. The only ones I want to take care of are the two of you. Yanqiu's blessings are not enough, and I need to take care of them. You have enough blessings. Yes, but you have a lot to do, and I have to watch. So..."

He paused for a moment: "So you all have to live well. If you are gone, I don't know what to miss in this world. I don't know when the next time I go down the mountain will be."

"What's it like in the mountains?"

"There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and the year is unknown even when it is cold. It is the same for so many years, and a hundred years on earth is just a blink of an eye. I only see the peach blossoms blooming again and again, the peaches ripening again, and the people who appreciate the peach blossoms and the monkeys who eat the peaches have changed. One crop after another, only the green hills remain.”

"Master Nasa, how did you see Yanqiu?"

"Maybe this is fate. When I was watching the peach blossoms, 5-year-old Yanqiu and her kindergarten classmates were having a spring outing under the peach blossom trees. They were singing something like the theme song of "Super King Lingguan". When I thought about it, When Wang Lingguan punched the Tyrannosaurus rex, he came down to debate scriptures with her."

"Ah, Master Nasa must have lost the argument?"

"Tsk, how could I argue defeat? Of course I won - then she started crying and couldn't be coaxed. Their teacher also came over and apologized to me, saying that it was too impolite for a child to argue with an old man. She cried even harder. I didn't care about her at the time, but there was an inexplicable incident about "Wang Lingguan vs. Tyrannosaurus Rex" that I remembered. When the current spiritual sequel "The Invincible Wang Lingguan" just started to be serialized, suddenly a large group of people came up the mountain to look for her. 'The Miracle of Sazu'."

"Ah, why?"

"Because in "The Invincible King Lingguan", Sa Shoujian has a lot of scenes - I thought to myself that the front is none of my business, just fight the Tyrannosaurus rex. This game involved me, and there were people with plastic bags The villain came to the mountain to worship me, wandering around and taking pictures, which I couldn't bear. At this time, I saw Yan Qiu, who was in elementary school, coming here for a spring outing. She sang well - I thought to myself, 'Okay! It's just you. Come on!', and then gave an order to the disciples and grandchildren of Shanmen, asking them to talk to Yanqiu's parents and let Yanqiu enter."

"So that's how it is, but now Wang Lingguan has begun to fight against the Martians and Feitian Yaksha."

"I say that you can fight only if you can fight, because it has something to do with me. If I don't say it, they can't make it up. I will be angry if they make it up, and I have to be a better person for people to see - even though I haven't met The author of the previous work, but this new work of mine is indeed better than the previous work.”

"That's it. Your three-dimensional multi-media matrix marketing, comic novels, movies, radio dramas, together, it is indeed more popular than the previous work that only made one or two movies. And when I read the comics themselves, I am also very out of touch."

"I am here in person, so of course I have to write in a more elegant way. I've had people pass the message on. Martians, Mercury, or flying yakshas, ​​the great demons of the universe, can go crazy at will. If you can't figure it out, you can ask me directly. But..." As he spoke, he also sighed:

"It's a pity that the author of the previous work "Super King Lingguan" didn't have time to meet me, otherwise I would have guided him - this is destiny. Some people are destined, and some people are not. It's not fair, but there are always things in this world You can't correct an injustice one by one. But what's most important, do you know?"

Shangluo shook his head.

"You can't control everything - but the most important thing is that you can control it when you want to. This is how you can do what you want and be free."

"."

"By the way, I would like to remind you that your test tomorrow will not be that simple."

"Are you back?" Phaethon was watching TV when Shangluo walked in.

"Ah."

"Did you meet Master Sa?"

"He said before that when I wanted to find him, he would always be there. Sure enough, this time, he was still there. We had a bowl of wontons together."

"Are you comfortable now?"

Shangluo shook his head: "I seem to have understood, but I am even more confused. Master Sa said this is not right. This sect is not a Tai Chi sect, and it is not a 'just forget it'. You really have to think about it to understand."

"Didn't you understand what he said?"

"Of course I can understand what he said. But in the end, I don't know which of these things can be given up. Ah, it seems that every one of them is still very important. Master Sa said that he wants me to cultivate myself. . It doesn’t matter what you take care of, but you have to be able to take care of it when you want to take care of it - but I want to take care of everything! I have established a connection with everything, and now I can’t give up on everything halfway.”

"Ah" Phaethon touched his forehead, "Then think about it slowly. It's time for me to go to bed when you come back. Good night. You have an exam tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed quickly - where is Apollonia?"

"She has to help me do the 'practice' early tomorrow, so she has gone to bed early. Because her schedule was not quite right before, now she is jet-lagged and keeps the sound on mute."

"No, I think her alloy egg head's score has been rising."

"Ok?"

Shangluo took out his mobile phone and turned off the silent mode - a burst of chaos and artillery fire could be heard. Among the series of shells and missiles, there was one jumping up and down, firing a laser gun, sizzling, sizzling.

"Stop playing! Go to sleep!"

[Wait a minute, the level is about to be cleared! Cleared now! This time it’s a speedrun! Speed ​​pass in 4 minutes and 29 seconds! yeah! I'm the champion! I'm the champion! 】

The next morning.

"Ah, good morning, brother." Shangluo met Han Xingzhi in front of the examination room. They were in the same examination room, but Shangluo could see the fairy spirit on Han Xingzhi's face at a glance.

"What did you do? Isn't there a big exam today? You look so fairy-like, what did you do last night?"

"Last night someone speedrun Metal Eggman and I raced! I didn't want to lose! But the opponent was too fast, too fast, and he passed it in 4 minutes and 29 seconds. I watched her video and followed it over and over again. But I just can’t match that person’s hand speed. Wow, oh, oh, I lost miserably.”

"It's eight o'clock now. What time did you go to bed last night?"

"six thirty."

Chapter 678 Exam Paper

"???" Shangluo was stunned, "You are cultivating immortality! You came here to take the exam after sleeping for an hour and a half?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Han Xingzhi waved his hand, "I can go to the examination room and continue sleeping."

"Good guy, you are planning to do something, right? Don't you know that spells that are too obvious cannot be used?"

"I took the exam alone. Don't you know? Qi practitioners take the exam in a separate exam room. In the past, there were separate exams prepared for patients and disabled people. Sometimes they were in other exam rooms, and sometimes they took different forms of papers. .The exam time will also change, just like the blind exam will add time, here we sometimes reduce the time."

"Then do you know what you are going to test?"

"I don't know." Han Xingzhi shook his head, "They are all separately formulated by the above. There is no way to prepare for this exam, because I don't know what questions will be assigned from Taoism - but after all, they are the same questions, and the questions themselves are not the same. It will change, otherwise it would be impossible to calculate the scores in the same way. I guess I need to change the time. Normally the test is 8 hours, I may shorten it by one or two hours or something. So——"

He added: "My Tai Su Wen Xuan Jing can be used because I have not sought outside assistance. This is in principle consistent with the normal examination process. In principle, copying someone else's is considered cheating, copying your own is not." .”

"Then I."

"I don't know." Han Xingzhi shook his head and said, "I don't know how strong you are, brother. Of course I don't know how to do it."

"Okay." Shangluo looked at the admission ticket, "We are in a separate examination room, the second conference room? It seems like it's just the two of us?"

"Well, I checked it out yesterday. Let's go this way."

Didn't go upstairs, the conference room is on the first floor. The two entered the examination room in front of Jin Yiwei who was standing at the door.

"Senior Fu?!" Shangluo saw an acquaintance at a glance.

"Hey, good morning, two classmates." Fu Yuanshan waved to them.

"Hello, General Fu!" Han Xingzhi suddenly stood up straight, and the chaotic and fairy-like look on his face just now was 80% sober.

"I'm here to deliver the papers." He patted the two brown paper bags on the table, "I'll leave after I finish handing out the papers to you."

"Senior Fu, aren't you in charge of the exam?"

"Not really. I'm just responsible for escorting the papers for you two. You're not the invigilator. There will be other teachers later, but Shangluo is the one who invigilated the exam. Take your seats, you two. The papers will be handed out in five minutes."

[The escort paper seems a bit scary.]

"Don't speak to anyone who has nothing to do with it!" Fu Yuanshan suddenly reminded.

【ha? can you hear me? I change the channel]

【rustle——rustle——rustle——】

[No, why are all other channels garbled? 】

"Don't change it." Fu Yuanshan supported the table, "This room is set up with a formation. Except for the frequency band we can hear, no valid information can be sent in other frequency bands. I said, Miss Huimingshi, do you have such a proposal for me? Did you—did you make a quadcopter yesterday? I suggest that if you don’t want to sit here with him, you’d better go out and play with airplanes by yourself.”

"What should I do?" Shangluo muttered in his heart.

【I can’t say it! will be heard! 】

"I've heard it." Fu Yuanshan was still standing there. "How about I go out and you guys talk for a while?"

[No, no, senior, how did you hear that? Can you hear it from the back?]

"That's not true. This formation was set up a month in advance, and it's not like you can hear your level of communication just anywhere - then, this is the rule, do you understand?"

He looked at Shangluo.

"Ah" Shangluo blinked, "It means, as long as I can not be discovered."

"I can give you this tip. After all, your rules are different from others." Fu Yuanshan replied, "We are not just adding interference to the channel. We are preventing her from communicating with you on the information transmission channel. Information transmission between places. Well, this thing is borrowed from Rome, because Huiming makes this communication method the Romans like to use."

【ah! I just said why it’s so familiar! This is from the oracle! In order to prevent casual whispering, this is what the priests will do when they bring people to ask for prophecies. How could this be moved here! 】

"Why don't you ask?" Fu Yuanshan shook his head, "Do you have any idea?"

[I have no idea what to do, this is specially made for me. Wow. Why can you still see such a thing here? 】

"Then come on." Fu Yuanshan shook his head and said, "Anyway, the rules are that simple. No one says that you can't use some extraordinary means, but it must be within the given questions. Don't be too burdened. The nearest schools are all We can’t recruit enough people, so we should get as many scores as possible - in fact, if we call you into this examination room, you won’t be able to do it without using Taoism."

"Eh?" Han Xingzhi next to him was stunned for a moment, "Why? Are the papers different? I heard they are all the same papers."

"The content is of course the same. But the form, it's time to curl it up."

Fu Yuanshan glanced at the clock and picked up two brown paper bags.

"Examiner No. 001, Han Xingzhi? Okay, please verify your identity. I recognize you. Look at this seal, it has never been opened." After showing the seal on the kraft paper, he opened Han Xingzhi's paper and handed it to him. superior.

"Huh?" Not to mention Han Xingzhi, Shangluo was stunned for a moment. Because he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Han Xingzhi was holding...

"General Fu! Is my paper printed incorrectly? There are no words on it!"

"Let me take a look." Fu Yuanshan also had an explanation document in his hand, "Ah, you're right. Your copy is a wordless scroll. When do you plan to start sleeping? This one is tailor-made for you."

"No! Isn't it said that the content is the same!"

"Yes, the content is the same, but the printing method is different. Isn't there also a Braille test paper? It is of the same nature as yours. Yours is a wordless paper. By the way, I would like to remind you that the paper score is very important."

"Ahhh! Why are you targeting me! Why! Who have I offended! I just want to get into an ordinary university! And the wordless paper requires paper points? Are you asking me to write down the questions in print? I I’m not a noble person from Tianyi, so I can’t print!”

"Stop howling. I think you're still sleepy now. You can get ready for bed." He opened the second file:

"Candidate No. 002, Shangluo. Well, I know you, I recognize you." Showing the seal, he opened the paper.

From a distance, Shangluo saw the paper - it had writing on it.

[Isn’t it something to be thankful that there are even words in the paper?]

A thick stack of papers was placed in front of Shangluo. All subjects were there. The exams were all completed in one day. All stacked up, there is a thick book.

"Okay, Shangluo, your paper is here, let me take a look at the instructions." Fu Yuanshan glanced at the paper in his hand, "Well, it starts on time at 8:30. Over at Han Xingzhi, the papers will be collected at 16:30, and the exam lasts 8 hours. .Then, Shangluo, your side will collect the papers before the end of the 8th second at 31:18. The test time is 8 hours divided by 365, a total of 78.904109589041 seconds, including the decimal point. Tsk, no wonder you want me to time it. Ready I'm going to start the timer. How about we go have a bowl of wontons after the exam? The breakfast stall is still confiscated."

Chapter 679 Method

"Timer starts. 1."

At the front of the examination room, Fu Yuanshan started timing. He didn't turn off the watch, because ordinary springs and gears simply couldn't be accurate to the minute scale of tens of billions or even one hundred billionths of a second.

The timer started over there, and Shangluo immediately started taking action. He started to write - using the human body to accelerate, even if it is 365 times, it will not have any major impact. The time is only 8 hours, which is quite short, and there are no major problems in various aspects.

pat.

On the first stroke, the pen tip broke.

"???" Shangluo looked at his pen tip - the fracture of the pen tip was not flush, and seemed to have been shattered by a huge force. The pencil lead that flew out left a "sword mark"-like handwriting along the way.

"." He rubbed the tip of the pen on the table and smoothed it out so that the force would be even and it would not break.

"Huh." Taking a breath, he officially started writing. The first question in the test booklet was silent writing. Shangluo looked at the question - it was exactly what he wanted! It is the opening paragraph of "The Master's Guide" written silently.
