Start with a photographic memory and build a memory palace

Chapter 76 Jinhua means light!

……

"The Bad People are a secret organization formed by the King of Qin who is motivated by profit and recruits hooligans from the market, and even those who have committed crimes."

"They lurk in various places in the underworld, can easily collect all kinds of secret information, and are good at using various shady means to deal with matters that cannot be made public."

"These people are like flies, flying and crawling everywhere. Although they are insignificant, they are everywhere, covering every corner of Chang'an City, always spying on the surrounding movements."

“Therefore, compared to those with extraordinary powers, these bad guys are the opponents you really need to pay close attention to.

They act in secret and with ruthless methods, often able to deliver a fatal blow without anyone noticing."

Bad people! After hearing Wei Zheng's reminder, Wu Wen muttered softly.

Then he shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle Wei, His Highness has entrusted me with such an important task. I am afraid that my ability is limited and it will be difficult for me to complete this task!"

"It's okay. Actually, you don't have to worry about most things. His Highness will arrange two people to assist you. Your main responsibility is still to guard Changlin Gate. I tell you this just to give you a clear understanding of these things."

Hmm! Wu Wen nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Came to a fork in the road.

Wei Zheng said to Wu Wen, "You are entering the palace now, so you should go to the library to meet your master Li Chunfeng, right?"

"That's right!" Wu Wen replied.

"I'm going to see His Highness, you go over there."

Wu Wen bowed.

The two separated.

Come to the library.

Looking at the dazzling array of books in front of him, Wu Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Compared with the days of going on military expeditions, he prefers to read and study quietly in this library.

Walk up to the fourth floor attic.

Wu Wen not only met his master Li Chunfeng, but also discovered that there was a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest next to him, and the two were talking side by side.

"Who are you?" Li Chunfeng saw Wu Wen appear and did not recognize him for a moment.

"Master, it's me, Wu Wen!" Wu Wen introduced himself.

"Wu Wen?" After hearing the name, Li Chunfeng looked at him carefully before recognizing him.

"How... have you changed so much?" Li Chunfeng walked forward curiously and observed Wu Wen carefully.

"Master, I practiced a certain technique, so there are some changes." Wu Wen explained softly.

"What kind of martial arts is this? What's its name? Take it out and let me see it." Li Chunfeng asked immediately out of curiosity.

"I don't have it with me. I will bring it back for you to read tomorrow after I go back. As for the name of the martial arts book, it is called "Zhengyi Chunyang Gong."" Wu Wen replied.

When Wu Wen said the name of the technique, the middle-aged Taoist priest standing next to Li Chunfeng immediately showed a look of surprise and walked up to ask, "What was the name of that technique you just mentioned?"

"Master, who is this?" Wu Wen looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him and asked Li Chunfeng puzzledly.

"Wu Wen, let me introduce you. This is Yuan Tiangang, the Fire Well Commander!" Li Chunfeng introduced solemnly.

"This is my disciple, Wu Wen. He has a unique talent in numerology." At the same time, he introduced Wu Wen to Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang! Hearing this name, Wu Wen couldn't help but carefully look at this man in front of him who was just as legendary as Li Chunfeng.

Huojingling was a ninth-rank official position in the imperial court, with duties similar to those of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, but in addition to studying astronomy and calendars, he was also in charge of fire used in royal sacrificial ceremonies.

The dynastic calendar is as important as the dynastic laws.

Royal sacrifices are a privilege enjoyed only by the emperor and no one is allowed to infringe upon or covet them.

Therefore, although Huojingling was only a small ninth-rank official position, his identity was extremely important and sometimes could even influence the emperor's thoughts and behaviors.

"Wu Wen, Yuan Tiangang and I are fellow Taoist brothers, so you can just call him Uncle Yuan."

"Junior nephew Wu Wen, nice to meet Uncle Yuan!" Wu Wen bowed.

Yuan Tiangang raised his hand slightly, and then continued the previous question: "What is the name of the technique you practiced?"

"Uncle Master, it's called 'Zhengyi Chunyang Gong'!" Wu Wen replied.

Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang immediately observed Wu Wen carefully, while at the same time stretching out his hands and constantly gesturing on his body.

"How strange, how bizarre!"

"Your aptitude seems ordinary, how can you practice this Taoist magic skill?" Wu Wen responded: "Master, do you know this skill?"

"Yes!" Yuan Tiangang nodded. "Zhengyi Pure Yang Gong was created by the Zhengyi Sect's Mingdao Zhenren. Apart from him, there are only a handful of people who have been able to practice it over the past few hundred years. The reason is that if you want to practice this magical skill, you must have a unique talent."

He looked at Wu Wen with curiosity again and said, "I see that your talent is ordinary and nothing special. How did you cultivate this magical skill?"

After hearing Yuan Tiangang's words about the origin of this technique, Wu Wen did not answer his question first, but turned to Li Chunfeng and said:
"Master, I took this technique from an enemy general I killed on the battlefield. Will practicing it cause any trouble?"

Hearing this, Li Chunfeng chuckled and stroked his beard, explaining, "You don't have to worry about this. As the saying goes, life and death are determined by fate. We Taoists are not the kind of people who must avenge their disciples' lives and deaths."

"But, you still have to be careful in the future. If you run into the other party's master directly, it is natural for the other party to target you."

As long as the younger one is not killed and no trouble is caused to the older one, it's fine, Wu Wen thought to himself.

What he feared most was the endless cycle of revenge where the younger ones would be replaced by the older ones, and the older ones would be replaced by the older ones, which would create one trouble after another.

"Uncle Master, I have mastered this technique through a special practice method."

Wu Wen did not hide anything and directly explained how he mastered this technique through many methods including electrostatic induction, electromagnetic induction, and resonance of qi and blood.

The reason why he spoke so unreservedly was that in Wu Wen's view, only through mutual exchange of knowledge can both parties gain at the same time and achieve faster progress.

People who are complacent will never get out of their own circle.

"Great, great, great!"

"It's really wonderful!"

After listening to this, Yuan Tiangang clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Junior Brother Chunfeng, your disciple is truly a person with a heart for Taoism. You must teach him well and not let his talent be buried!"

"Of course!" Li Chunfeng stroked his beard proudly.

At this time, Yuan Tiangang took out a book from his arms.

"This is the essence of the Taiyi Jinhualu that I just completed not long ago. I am giving it to you today. I hope you can comprehend it well."

Wu Wen had never heard of this name, so he didn't know what the book was about.

"Why don't you thank Uncle Yuan quickly!" Seeing that Wu Wen did not accept it immediately, Li Chunfeng urged him.

This shows how precious this book is.

"Thank you, Master!" Wu Wen took the book.

"Please leave first. I still need to discuss the calendar issue with your Uncle Yuan."

"Master, I am leaving now!"

Wu Wen turned and left.

Come to the third floor of the library.

He looked at the essence of the "Taiyi Jinhua Lu" given to him by Yuan Tiangang in his hand, but did not read it directly. Instead, he began to look for the original book of "Taiyi Jinhua Lu" in this library.

"found it!"

Soon, Wu Wen found it in the Taoist collection.

"Taiyi Jinhua Lu" was compiled by Wu Quanfeng, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The book consists of twelve volumes in total, which record in detail Taoist techniques and prediction methods such as numerology, three destinies, five elements, and hexagrams.

Wu Wenxian had a general understanding of the main content of the book.

"Taiyi Jinhua Lu" expounds on the knowledge of innate and acquired numerology such as "gou divination", "Tian Gang", "Di Gang", "Tian Gan and Di Zhi", "Three Fates" and "Five Elements", and combines it with actual conditions to perform divination in order to predict major events such as human affairs, celestial phenomena and natural disasters.

"Divination and prediction, this is really Yuan Tiangang's ability!"

However, as Wu Wen continued to read, he made a new discovery.

The core of this book is actually Taiyi Divine Numbers!
It guides self-cultivation, learning of knowledge, and pursuit of enlightenment and immortality through the changes in hexagrams.

Snapped!
Wu Wen closed the book in his hand.

Staring at the words "Taiyi Jinhua Lu" on the cover.

He slowly stretched out two fingers, covering the upper part of the word "Jin" and the lower part of the word "Hua" respectively.
