Chapter 1140 Butterfly Spreads Wings
When the whole Xiandu was in turmoil, only the Nanjiang Palace was like a calm island in the raging tide. The wind still blew gently, the setting sun still rose, and the lights in the palace were dim, and it was as peaceful as yesterday.
Under the lamp, Prince Nanjiang looked quietly into the distance. Although there was still some residual smell of alcohol on his face, was there ever any sign of drunkenness in his eyes?
A figure emerged from the darkness behind him. It was the beautiful woman in white.
The beautiful lady in white smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is a cicada in Buddhism and a butterfly in the Western Hills. The cicada can remain silent for twenty-three years, but when the butterfly spreads its wings, it can stir up a tornado in Xiandu. And he is the butterfly that Master Wujue mentioned, right?"
King Nanjiang raised his finger slightly, and there was a cicada wing on the tip of his finger.
The cicada's wings vibrated slightly.
A circle of Buddha's light filled the small room.
The beautiful woman in white opened her eyes wide and stared at the cicada wings in surprise.
Her cultivation is extraordinary, and her insights are even more profound.
She knew what the cicada wing in His Highness's hand was. It was the cicada wing of the cicada that was the lifeblood of Zen Master Wujue of Guiyuan Temple. It was protected by Buddhism and was one with the Way of Heaven. In terms of shielding ability alone, it was stronger than the ancient night glow lamp of the Western Regions.
Zen Master Wujue actually gave such precious cicada wings to King Nanjiang. What does this mean?
This shows that this extremely legendary Buddhist master has actually always been standing behind King Nanjiang.
“What the world has seen is that I met with the wise men of the Immortal Dynasty in the bamboo forest. However, who could have known that the letter of introduction I gave him was just a trick?” There was a mysterious smile in King Nanjiang’s eyes.
The beautiful lady in white was shocked. Nanjiang King Zhulin's meeting with Lin Su was also under her eyes.
Even she could only see the letter of recommendation sent to him by King Nanjiang.
At this moment, Prince Nanjiang, under the shield of the cicada wings, told her that this was just a deception.
"Your Highness's true intention is..."
King Nanjiang smiled softly: "This cicada wing has two pieces. This king sent out the recommendation letter in a high-profile manner, and the world was looking at it with awe, but no one knew that this king sent out a cicada wing in addition to the recommendation letter."
"Is this cicada wing the thing that Your Highness uses to communicate with him?" The beautiful lady in white was heartbroken.
"The greatest function of this cicada wing is that, in addition to blocking all prying eyes, it can also communicate with the eyes. What he sees, I see; what he hears, I hear!" King Nanjiang said, "When Zhulin sent this cicada wing, I doubted myself whether this cicada wing was entrusted to the wrong person. But after last night, I no longer doubt that he is the butterfly that can stir up the storm in Xiandu!"
"What happened last night was done by him..." The beautiful woman in white uttered two words softly, and her voice stopped abruptly.
Because this matter is too taboo.
Even though she was in dire straits at the moment, she didn't dare to say it out loud.
In fact, she had her doubts. Last night, the whole city was covered with big-character posters, which triggered a royal scandal unprecedented in Xiandu's history and directly knocked the prince off the altar from his heyday.
From anyone's perspective, this was the work of the Second Prince. However, she knew that the Second Prince had been fighting with the Crown Prince for so many years, and his methods had been conventional, not so bizarre.
Now the answer is out, it’s because of him!
This is a brilliant move, it's his brilliant plan.
The beautiful lady in white took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness is the leader of the Baiyu Wenzhan, so he should have a place among the contestants of our dynasty."
Prince Nanjiang smiled, "Of course! He is the best at enjoying the Dao. Besides, he just used the cicada's wings as eyes to transmit a conversation in Juxianju. It is very interesting. I have reason to believe that this is another brilliant plan."
"Oh? What kind of picture?"
Prince Nanjiang laughed, stretched out his hand, and embraced the beautiful woman in white into his arms, and the two looked into each other's eyes.
The beautiful woman in white saw the scene in Juxianju from the eyes of King Nanjiang...
A conversation scene between Lin Su and Ji Qianling.
She truly felt the power of the cicada's wings.
Lin Su accepted a cicada wing given to him by King Nanjiang.
This cicada wing can be implanted into the eye to activate the "sharing mode".
Once it is turned on, the two people don't need to communicate at all, and I can achieve what you see is what I see, and what you hear is what I hear.
This sharing model is far more advanced than any information transmission in the world.
Even if the master of all things is sitting right opposite you, you will still know nothing.
The conversation ends and the screen disappears.
The beautiful lady in white exhaled softly: "Your Highness, he intends to let Ji Qianling be the contestant of the calculation path, what is his intention?"
"Even I cannot fully guess his intentions. At present, I can only see two points." King Nanjiang said: "First, he wants to accept Luo Tianzong on my behalf; second, he has the intention to split Luo Tianzong. The former corresponds to the great cause of the king, and the latter corresponds to himself."
The beauty in white nodded deeply...
She stood high, saw far, understood the situation, and understood the key to this situation...
Lin Su is the disciple of Master Luo Tian.
Venerable Luo Tian has differences with the current leader of Luo Tian Sect.
Currently, the leader of Luotian Sect is standing behind the second prince.
And he stood behind the third prince.
Therefore, he hoped to bring a key figure from Luo Tian Sect over to serve him.
This character lays the groundwork and will be of great use in the future when he splits up the Luotian Sect and truly establishes a second peak in the Luotian Sect besides the Sect Master.
If it were just this, Lin Su would not have been able to present this video footage exactly as it was to King Nanjiang.
He showed up because he and King Nanjiang were on the same warship.
If Prince Nanjiang wants to develop his own power, he has to infiltrate the Luotian Sect in the court. Planting a wedge among the top leaders of the Luotian Sect will be of great help to Prince Nanjiang.
The beautiful lady in white saw all this and whispered, "Your Highness, will you agree to him?"
"Why not?" King Nanjiang said, "This king and he are now two melons on the same rope. We prosper together and suffer together. He treats me so sincerely, how can I ruin his plan? What's more, Ji Qianling's calculation method is superb. She is the best candidate that this king can find as a calculation contestant."
The beautiful lady in white nodded: "Your Highness, of the five candidates, two have been confirmed. What about the remaining three? They were originally on the same line with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince has suffered such a heavy blow, can they be trusted?"
This is a new direction.
The prince originally selected five contestants.
These five people are all loyal to him.
Now, the prince had a basin of dirty water poured on his head and fell onto the bed.
His identity as the leader of the Baiyuwen War was also erased.
Will he have any thoughts of revenge?
If you don't let me take the lead in the Baiyu Literary Battle, I will make the battle fail and tell everyone in the world that without the leadership of me, the crown prince, the Baiyu Literary Battle will not succeed.
Don't overestimate the prince's mind.
He is definitely capable of doing such a thing.
But the King of Nanjiang shook his head: "I will never overestimate the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he should not overestimate his control. He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and his words are as good as gold. He has not yet been cleansed of the filth on his body! Who dares to tie him to death at this time? This is one reason. Secondly, those who are lucky enough to participate in the White Jade Text Competition also have their own pursuits. Who doesn't want to become famous for billions of miles in the arena that everyone is watching, and leave their names for thousands of years? Even if the Crown Prince orders them to lose, they have their own calculations. What's more, they probably don't dare to do so in front of the Crown Prince."
Therefore, the five contestants participating in the Baiyuwen battle were positioned.
Deng You, the master of poetry at Xianchao Academy.
Zhou Yu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a master of chess.
Lu Qingyao, a scholar of the Imperial Examination and a master of painting.
Ji Qianling, a student of Wenyuan and a master of mathematics.
Lin Su, a student of Wenyuan and a master of music.
The pending list was sent to His Majesty.
His Majesty glanced over and saw that the frown that had not been relaxed for a whole day and night suddenly relaxed silently at this moment.
If he had been troubled by his two sons in the past two days, this list still gave him a little comfort.
The third son, Ji Cha, is quite sensible.
The first three people in this list are all on the prince's list. Ji Cha did not follow the "new emperor, new ministers" principle. He fully respected the prince and kept three of them on his list.
This approach is much more far-sighted than the prince's. When the prince chose people that day, he simply chose people who were close to him, which made the ministers in the court very resentful.
Look at Ji Cha, he doesn’t do that!
The last two are more mysterious.
Ji Qianling is the unrivaled genius of the Luotian Sect, and the Luotian Sect, as everyone knows, is the power behind the second prince.
Ji Cha included the disciples of Luo Tianzong in the group and calmed the resentment of the Second Prince's faction.
As for the last person, he is the one with whom Ji Cha has some relationship, and he is also the master of music who has just risen in the capital and has become famous in Kyoto.
One list, five names, balancing the concerns of all parties.
The third son's pattern and vision truly entered the Immortal Emperor's sight at this moment.
But he still asked casually: "After Lin Su entered Wenyuan, did the King of Nanjiang come to visit him?"
Xie Dong beside him smiled slightly: "After the meeting in the bamboo forest, Prince Nanjiang and Lin Su did not meet, and there was no information chain between the two parties in Wenyuan Pavilion."
This statement is quite meaningful.
Explain what?
This means that Wen Yuan is actually completely under Xie Dong's control. No matter what means are used by anyone to contact the outside world, he can trace the chain of communication.
His Majesty was slightly shocked: "No contact at all?"
Xie Dong bowed: "Indeed not at all! Judging from the current situation, the King of Nanjiang only admires Lin Suzhi for pleasure."
His Majesty nodded gently: "This is related to the overall situation of the Immortal Dynasty. Putting aside factional prejudices and positioning according to talent is the best response! Prince Nanjiang, this matter... is well done!"
This was probably the first time in his life that he, as a father, expressed appreciation for his third son.
The list was sent out from the palace and quickly delivered to each contestant.
It also spread quickly to Xiandu.
The people around the prince felt a little comforted. They had a bad premonition that Prince Nanjiang would replace all five of their selected contestants when he was leading the Baiyuwen Competition. Considering the prince's undisguised suppression of Prince Nanjiang, it was reasonable for Prince Nanjiang to replace all five of them.
But King Nanjiang only changed two.
The big head is still retained.
This made the people of the prince's faction feel greatly relieved. After all, Prince Nanjiang took over the leadership of Bai Yuwenzhan, which made him much stronger than the second prince. If the second prince took over, these five people would definitely all be replaced by his people.
With the reputation of this literary achievement in assisting the Second Prince, the Second Prince will be unrivaled in the future.
Coincidentally, when the second prince saw the list, he was greatly relieved and even smiled mysteriously.
Everyone thought that Lin Su was the Third Prince's person, but only he knew that Lin Su was his person!
Lin Su had just given him such a brilliant plan to stop the prince and achieved unprecedented success, but from now on he could only be tied to his warship.
Lin Su is his man, and Ji Qianling is his die-hard fan. He has two of the five contestants!
The worst was probably the Third Prince. He took great pains to invite Lin Su out of the bamboo forest and sent him to Wenyuan, probably hoping to use Lin Su to do something. But how could Lin Su, a genius of wisdom from Luo Tian Sect, look down on others and see how he saw the little kindness he had shown him? He had a general view of the situation.
He knows who is best to depend on.
So, although he was nominally the Third Prince's man, in reality he had already become the Second Prince's man!
These are the people at the top, with different ideas.
The ordinary people in the capital were somewhat excited about this list...
Lin Su, the dark horse that rose from the West Mountain, finally stepped onto the orthodox stage...
How will he perform his romantic and enjoyable performance on the Baiyuwen battlefield?
In the pigeon house.
In a place surrounded by purple air, the geniuses of the Ziqi Wen Dynasty looked at the list in front of them and remained silent, which was rare.
"Two people have been replaced!" The purple-robed leader lightly stroked his long beard: "Lin Su's music, the perfect seven notes, on the West Mountain, the nine wonderful pieces of music show that his music is indeed extraordinary. Master Guo, what are your chances of winning?"
The man in white surnamed Guo, Guo Liang, had a face as solemn as water. In the past three days, he had listened to Lin Su's rendition of the nine songs countless times. The more he listened, the more his hair stood on end. He was a true master of music and he had heard almost all the music in the world, but he had never heard any of these nine songs. He couldn't even imagine how such an exquisite music was created.
He had always had an idea that after the battle with Bai Yuwen, he would go to the West Mountain to meet this miraculous genius of Le Dao in order to perfect his own Le Dao.
Suddenly, he learned that this Le Dao genius would be his opponent in the Bai Yu Wen battle, which made him a little confused.
A scholar in silver clothes beside him said, "If Brother Guo's zither were to face his flute, the chances of winning would be slim. However, there is a chance of winning in this case..."
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes lit up.
The purple-clothed leader nodded gently: "Mr. Dongren's calculations are really beyond calculations! Then what about you? What are your chances of winning against Ji Qianling?"
Mr. Dongren smiled and said, "100%!"
The purple-clothed leader smiled and said, "The Purple Qi Dynasty is named after literature, and we have never lost any literary battle. Facing the literary battle of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty, we should not limit ourselves to best-of-five games, but should fight like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and win five games in five! From now on, let the entire Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty be in awe of our dynasty, and let the powerful alliance between Baiyujing and our dynasty be without any noise!"
"Yes!" Five contestants stood up at the same time.
At this moment, they seemed to have stood on the highest white jade platform and completed the entire mission of their expedition.
Yes, the battle between Bai Yuwen and Bai Yujing was proposed by Bai Yujing.
However, the proposal of a war of words rather than a war of arms itself illustrates the inclination of the top leadership of Baiyujing.
Bai Yujing's original intention was to join forces with Ziqi Wenchao, and Bai Yuwenzhan was just used to shut up Dongyu Xianchao.
Otherwise, why would he choose Ziqiwenchao's best project?
The alliance between big forces will affect the whole body, so we cannot be too blind. Sometimes, we need a step.
And this Baiyu Wenzhan is just such a step.
What they need to do is to implement the high-level grand strategy in an uncontroversial way and with a sweeping attitude.
But the loss in one game was all due to their fault.
Originally, the two special envoys from Bai Yujing had no bias.
But yesterday's shocking change also quietly planted a little tendency in their hearts...
The prince of the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty could be a fake, would they dare to marry the princess to them? Therefore, these two envoys already had a small plan in their hearts... at least they did not want the Eastern Region Immortal Dynasty to win.
Juxianju at this moment, Lin Su’s backyard.
When Ji Qianling received the notification to participate in the competition, he was filled with emotion. He climbed over the wall and came to Lin Su's backyard. He personally boiled water, held the kettle, and poured three cups of tea for Lin Su.
Although there is no such thing as a cup of tea for a great cause in this world, some things are the same in every world. When you receive care from others, offering them a cup of tea is basic etiquette.
This glass can be wine.
This cup can also be tea.
After finishing three cups of tea, Ji Qianling slowly put down the cup: "You and I once agreed to exchange the art of celestial calculation. Is it time now?"
The art of astronomy and calculation, a technique handed down from the ancestors of the Luotian Sect, is profound and extensive.
It not only established the Luotian Sect, but also established another person, Venerable Luotian.
Three thousand years ago, a rift arose between Venerable Luo Tian and the current sect leader, and he left the sect and traveled far away. His whereabouts have been unknown for three thousand years.
Now that he has come back, the fragmentary display of arithmetic has clearly shown that the art of celestial calculation has branched off on this vine.
If the two top geniuses of mathematics standing on the two forks communicate with each other, it will be beneficial to both sides.
Ji Qianling suggested the exchange today because after one day and one night, she would have to face a strong challenge from the Ziqi Wen Dynasty.
Lin Su naturally understood: "Okay!"
Ji Qianling extended his hand and handed a jade pendant to Lin Su: "This is the basic principle and method of using the celestial calculation technique to calculate the circulation of blood. With this method, combined with your three-level Daluotian secret technique, you may be able to quickly break through the fourth level or even the fifth level."
As soon as Lin Su took in his mental power, his heart began to beat wildly.
If you have never been to the fairyland, you will not know how wonderful the fairyland is. He felt that his imagination was challenged by just reading a small part of the art of divination.
The blood circulation in the human body can be calculated and run in the best way. When it reaches a mysterious state, it can change the blood circulation in the body.
what does this mean?
It means that special bloodline can be created out of thin air!
This is similar to the magical technique "Da Yan Hua Sheng Shu" that he saw that day.
"The Great Art of Transformation" was obtained from the brain of an ancient genius from the outer world.
This technique describes the derivation of the bloodline of gods and demons. The bloodline of gods and demons does not necessarily require the parents to reproduce in their physical bodies; it can be created after birth.
When men and women do that, their genes are quietly changed.
Let their offspring carry the innate characteristics of gods and demons.
This is not a fantasy, because Lin Su has personally seen two such modified humans. One is the super-powerful man whose name he does not know and whose facial expression has not changed even after being dead for thousands of years. The other is Chaotou Baishui from Yanyu Tower.
This magical skill was actually calculated using the "Art of Celestial Calculation".
Even the magical art of "Dragon God Transformation" that Lin Su obtained from the ancient Dragon Palace more or less carries the shadow of the art of divination.
Perhaps these mysterious skills are related to each other. Perhaps when one reaches a high level in the spiritual practice, they often achieve the same results.
Who knows?
Anyway, when Lin Su got the half of the Heaven Calculation Technique from Ji Qianling, he went astray from the beginning. He did not make a fuss about the "Great Luotian Secret Technique" (in fact, he did not need to comprehend this secret technique, because the three realms he showed in Luotian Sect were not his real realm at all. His real realm was the fifth realm! The fifth realm was the ultimate pinnacle of this secret technique), but used it to refer to and verify the "Great Evolution Transformation Technique" and "Dragon God Transformation". Once they were integrated, his inspirations were layered...
Ji Qianling stared at Lin Su with her beautiful eyes. The surprise in Lin Su's eyes did not escape her. Ji Qianling smiled gently: "Junior brother, what are your achievements? Are you willing to share them with me?"
Lin Su said: "Senior sister is so frank, how dare I not be frank? The new direction that Master has comprehended from the art of celestial calculation is a complete arithmetic system, which includes a set of multiplication formulas. I think this is what Senior sister is more interested in..."
Basic theories of modern arithmetic, operators (Arabic numerals), addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and decimal points...
Lin Su told Ji Qianling everything.
Ji Qianling was completely stunned.
It is impossible for ordinary people to learn arithmetic quickly, but she is not an ordinary person? She is a super genius standing at the top of the world's arithmetic. When she heard about this new arithmetic, she immediately felt like she had heard a great truth. She was completely touched. Various calculations flowed quickly in her brain, and the faster they turned, the more she felt. She felt that she had opened the most wonderful door, giving all the arithmetic cells in her body wings...
Unconsciously, waves of culture appeared above Lin Su's head. At first, they were colorful, and later, they slowly turned into green waves.
After all the arithmetic rules were explained, Lin Su suddenly looked up and was surprised.
Damn, blue Wenbo?
The value of the cultural and Taoist displays in this world will be measured by the cultural and Taoist waves of the Heavenly Dao.
There are white Wenbo, silver Wenbo, golden Wenbo, five-color and seven-color Wenbo, and naturally there are also blue Wenbo.
The blue Wenbo is of the same level as the one handed down from generation to generation in the Great Cang Realm.
What does this mean?
This means that this set of arithmetic has been judged by the Heavenly Dao to be of "legendary level"!
Ji Qianling's eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at the top of the courtyard in surprise. A green light was flowing, holy and flawless!
Legend of Qingbo!!
"This Tiandao Wenbo is only above the courtyard...but why?" Lin Su raised his eyes.
"This is the special feature of Wenyuan." Ji Qianling said: "The so-called Wenyuan, the literati are like dragons, the dragons are hidden in the abyss, and what is preserved are the cultural heritage of the Immortal Dynasty. Many people do not want their trump cards to be known by others, so Wenyuan has set up a protection mechanism. Anyone in Wenyuan who uses literature to guide the secrets of heaven will not let irrelevant people know..."
Her words revealed the secret.
Wenyuan is a place that collects all the culture and teachings from all over the world.
It is the trump card of the Immortal Dynasty.
The so-called trump card will not be easily known to others.
