Castle of Black Iron

Volume 55 Chapter 40

"How could this be, how could this be, I have studied twelve volumes of medical books and memorized a thousand ancient prescriptions by heart, how could I have encountered such a topic, how could I have encountered such a topic, I shouldn't, I shouldn't..." Beside Zhang Tie, an old man who seemed to be elderly, looked at the first question given by Bian Heng to select his apprentices, his face was pale, and he was pulling his hair with both hands, as if he had seen a ghost.

At this time, like the old man next to Zhang Tie, people who feel disillusioned are everywhere.

Everyone came here full of anticipation. Originally, they thought that Bian Heng's recruitment of disciples would be based on the test of everyone's medical attainments. How did they expect that the first test was actually such a question.

Such a scene is like a group of athletes confidently going to take the physical education teacher exam, only to find out when they arrive at the school that the qualification exam thrown to them by the school is not on the sports field, but a violin thrown to those athletes.

Those numbers, those grids, have a bird relationship with the way of medicine!

Looking at the fifth-order magic square on the white cloth, Zhang Tie's face became strange. At this moment, Zhang Tie remembered the pictures he saw in Bianheng's study when he first arrived at Hutuo Mountain. A paper full of magic squares and various numbers and graphic lines, as well as the extremely arrogant words of recruiting apprentices that Bing Heng said - I didn't expect that Bing Heng really did it just a few days later.

The words on the white cloth, especially the new ink marks, were definitely written just now, and looking at the numbers, Zhang Tie knew that the one who wrote the question was definitely Bian Heng himself.

What is the purpose of Bingheng doing this?

Zhang Tie knew that Bian Heng had a weird temperament, but he would never have the mood to play tricks on these ten thousand people.

For a while, Zhang Tie didn't know what was the mystery in the question Bian Heng asked.

And at this time, it wasn't even the old man next to Zhang Tie who was most devastated, but a few nerds who had never even heard of Jiugongge.

"Ah, Brother An, what is Jiugongge..."

"The Jiugong grid is the Jiugong map. Wearing nine shoes, one on the left, three on the right, seven on the right, two and four on the shoulders, six and eight on the feet, and five in the center. It will be difficult..."

Among the more than 10,000 people, some were pale, some looked around in a daze, and some were frowning and calculating in their hearts.

The incense in the censer has already been lit, instead of complaining about yourself here, it is better to give it a try here, maybe there is still a chance.

Why did Bingheng come up with such an exam question?

If Bing Heng doesn't say anything, no one dares to ask, nor is he qualified to ask, because if you fail to pass this test, you won't even have the chance to meet Bing Heng.

On Tang Mei's side, several people, including Tang Mei, were all dumbfounded now, and those few people never thought that Bian Heng would use such a topic to select disciples.

At this time, Tang Mei's performance was still as quiet as ever. The veil covered her face so that people couldn't see the expression on Tang Mei's face at the moment, but the people around Tang Mei could see the expression on Tang Mei's body. A breath of concentration.

For Zhang Tie, such a question is as simple as asking a college student to do addition and subtraction within ten. , the gears of the difference engine visualized in his head just turned a few times quickly, and the result came out. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had all the solutions to the fifth-order magic square. The solution to the fifth-order magic square is not One, but 24, there are three basic solutions, through the rotation and mapping of the basic solutions, you can get all the 24 answers, in each of these 24 solutions, no matter whether they are added horizontally, vertically or obliquely Numbers, all equal to 65...

Just when Zhang Tie was thinking about whether to "help" Tang Mei, some of the crowd in the square had already walked out and entered the room next to the archway.

A person beside Director Qin also entered the room, and in the blink of an eye, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Director Qin. Director Qin looked at it and nodded. The person who entered the room was caught Take it out and stand under the archway.

Seeing that someone had passed a level, the crowd in the square was in a commotion.

This is actually not surprising. Among the more than 10,000 people here, there will always be a few smart people-just like athletes whose strength lies in sports, but there are also athletes who can play the violin.

That person had just gone up, and to Zhang Tie's surprise, before he could tell Tang Mei the answer, Tang Mei also walked out of the circle she was in and walked towards the wooden house.

Among the more than 10,000 people, Tang Mei was the second to find the solution to the fifth-order magic square.

Tang Mei, who came out of the wooden house, also entered under the archway, and she was able to pass the first level.

"Ah, a woman..." Someone beside Zhang Tie exclaimed. For a moment, Tang Mei, who was wearing a veil on her face, gathered countless eyes. Tang Mei, who was not so eye-catching before, suddenly The child became one of the focuses of the audience.

After Tang Mei, more and more people went to the wooden house to write their own answers, but there were also a few people who were invited out after entering the wooden house and did not go under the archway. Obviously, the answers in their minds were not correct.

The time for a stick of incense is not long or short, it is only about forty minutes.

During this time, there were more than two hundred people who found the solution to the fifth-order magic formula. After passing the level, these people all entered under the archway and waited quietly. The time was getting shorter and shorter, and there were more people in the square, and the more than 10,000 people who hadn't answered yet became more panicked.

What's interesting is that the two good-looking young men who were beside Tang Mei just now, and the general who hurried over at the end also passed the first test smoothly.

After a stick of incense was burned out, Director Qin raised his hand, and the first test was over, and the rest, those who still had no answers, lost their chance since then.

The square was quiet, some people's faces were ashen, some people sighed a long time, everyone's eyes were on the more than two hundred people standing under the archway who had passed the first level, and at the same time My heart is also full of curiosity, I don't know what is the second level that Bian Sheng made.

Manager Qin didn't keep the crowd waiting, he just glanced at the people standing under the archway and opened his mouth.

"Very good, you have passed the first level, so I don't need to explain the second level. The second level is the same as the first level, but the difficulty is higher. The second level is the 36 palace map, which needs to be used. The numbers are from 1 to 36, within half a stick of incense, if you can find the answer, you will pass the second level..."

For the fifth-order magic square just now, Hutuo Mountain gave a stick of incense time, while the more difficult sixth-order magic square only had half a stick of incense. This difficulty has more than doubled.

However, after hearing Manager Qin's words, many of those people who were still in the square with ashen faces just now gradually returned to normal. It is absolutely impossible to pass the second level. At the same time, many people who have just passed the first level will be brushed off when facing the more difficult second level. Thinking about it this way, many people feel balanced.

Zhang Tie felt even more strange, he didn't know what the hell Bian Heng was going to do, whether he wanted to recruit mathematicians or disciples.

The time for half a stick of incense is even shorter, about 20 minutes. The more than two hundred people just now, under everyone's attention, can pass the second test, and only four people can pass the second test. Man, was brushed down again.

There was silence in the square, and everyone's eyes were on the four people who had passed the second level.

Zhang Tie was surprised again, because Tang Mei was one of the four people, and she was the third to find the answer.

There was silence in the square, and everyone was nervously waiting for the last question.

"I have dozens of voices. Within these ten voices, whoever among the four of you can calculate the answer to the 64th palace will officially become my disciple..."

It was not Director Qin who spoke, but Bian Heng. Bian Heng's voice came from the mountain and echoed at the foot of the mountain.

There was a loud commotion in the square, and everyone was dumbfounded. How could it be possible within ten sounds? The difficulty of this last level is a thousand times higher than the previous level. Is this something that humans can do?

But Bing Heng ignored the astonishment in everyone's hearts, and that calm voice began to resound in everyone's ears.

"one two Three……"

The interval between each sound is only more than two seconds, which hardly gives people more time to think.

When Bian Heng counted to two, Tang Mei's body shook slightly, because an abrupt voice had already appeared in her ears.

"Five...six...seven...eight...nine..."

Tang Mei gritted her teeth, and finally stepped forward, "I already have the answer..."

"What, little girl, you said you have the answer..." Bing Heng's counting voice disappeared suddenly. Except for Zhang Tie, almost no one at the foot of the mountain could see how Bing Heng appeared. Feeling blurred in front of my eyes, an old man with messy hair suddenly stood under the archway, staring at Tang Mei with a pair of small sparkling eyes.

"I've seen the master..." Director Qin and a group of handyman disciples from Hutuo Mountain hurriedly saluted Bian Sheng.

"Ah, Biansheng, this is Biansheng..." Seeing Biansheng appear, the people in the square also became commotion.

Bian Sheng stared at Tang Mei closely, and asked again, "Little girl, tell me the answer to your sixty-four palace map..."

Tang Mei calmed down and opened her mouth, "From left to right, line by line, top to bottom, the numbers in the first line of the sixty-four palace map are 1, 63, 38, 28, 7, 57, 36, 30, this first line adds up to 260, and the numbers in the second line are 64, 2, 27..."

It took Tang Mei a full two minutes to finish talking about the numbers in the Sixty-Four Palaces. While Tang Mei was talking, Bian Heng closed his eyes, as if he was calculating, and waited until Tang Mei finished speaking, Bian Heng suddenly patted With a slap, he opened his eyes all of a sudden, unable to conceal his excitement, "Little girl, what's your name?"

"My name is Tang Mei!"

"I keep my word. From the moment I think about it, you are my disciple of Bing Heng..."

As soon as Bian Heng said these words, if the eyes had warmth, the eyes focused on Tang Mei at this moment could almost set the air on fire.

Tang Mei's body also trembled slightly, she seemed very excited. Hearing Bian Heng's words, Tang Mei directly knelt down, kowtowed three times to Bian Heng, and performed the ceremony of apprenticeship in public.

"Get up, since you are already my apprentice, then, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail, let everyone see what you look like, take off your veil..."

Tang Mei, who got up, hesitated for a moment, and took off her veil. In an instant, there was silence at the foot of Hutuo Mountain, and the eyes of many people around Tang Mei became dull...

It's not that Zhang Tie has never seen beautiful women, but at the moment Tang Mei lifted her veil, Zhang Tie's head went blank for a moment, and a dreamy feeling filled his heart, as if seeing a bright moon from the clouds. Then it appeared like...

What kind of face is that? If Heller's face template is the pinnacle of masculinity, then at this moment, Tang Mei's face is the pinnacle of femininity. Every inch is perfect to the extreme, even if I let the stone see it, I am afraid I will feel sorry for it.

After a brief blank in the head, Zhang Tie regained consciousness in an instant, with only four words in his mind—Peerless Fairy!

Only such a person can make God feel jealous, and make her suffer from an incurable disease such as the five yin and veins...
