I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 448 The Casting of the Tripod is Underway

As Jingxian entered the main hall, before he even saw the host in the center, he received a series of messages.

He knew very well that it must be because a master historian had continuously maintained the supernatural ability of "reading history" so that everyone could receive this book, "Basic Mathematics," as soon as possible.

"Wonderful!" Jingxian was shocked after reading it only briefly. As a Confucian disciple, even from the Gongyang School, the Six Arts of a Gentleman could not be abandoned.

Not to mention that he himself has royal blood, so even if he only wanted to become one of the anti-Qin banners, he had to perform exceptionally well.

But it is precisely because of this that he was able to understand this classic.

Starting from the simple and delving into the complex, unlike current divination methods that focus on practical application, this approach begins with simple mathematical problems and abstractly summarizes a series of rules.

This opened the door to a new world for Jingxian, who was used to calculating with his powerful brain.

"No wonder it was recorded in the annals of history, this classic deserves it!"

Delis was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why Jingxian, who didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about opposing Qin, had suddenly fallen silent, while the other two, who were practically dreaming of opposing Qin, had also suddenly gone quiet.
She didn't know the significance of opposing Qin, but she knew perfectly well that the person sitting in the center was none other than Feng Xue!

"Are you trying to fool the ancients with a bunch of basic math?" Of course, Delis had also received the contents of "Basic Mathematics," but unlike the ancients of this world, she came from the Celestial Realm, which connects many lower worlds! Although she had never seen the book before, she had learned the contents when she was in elementary school!
Without a doubt, Feng Xue is once again profiting from the technological differences between the worlds!
……

Just as Delis was grumbling to herself, Feng Xue was standing in front of a blackboard, with students from all walks of life talking animatedly beside him.

Because the impact of "Basic Mathematics" was so great, the competition among scholars was skipped, and everyone went straight to the stage of "Mutual Contract Casting". Of course, Feng Xue felt that this group was actually planning to take this opportunity to gain more practical experience.

But Feng Xue didn't care; he only cared about his body-strengthening method.

Although "Zhouliu Liuxu" is also very strong, Feng Xue's mathematics is actually not good, and his cultural level and logical thinking are not qualified to regard such an abstract doctrine as a doctrine that he "takes for granted".

In comparison, the more deeply ingrained and realistic universe and starry sky are indeed the objects he can rightfully accept.

On the blackboard, one exaggerated number after another was deduced. However, at this time, what was on the blackboard was not the seven luminaries that Feng Xue had originally provided data for, but a whole star map that covered the mainstream astrological observation of this era, including the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions (Note ①).

Simply put, this group of people created a three-dimensional star map centered on the solar system and planned to integrate this entire star map into their body-refining techniques.

If you ask why...

Because it's not challenging. Well, after all, everyone wants to learn skills. Feng Xue has already listed out the data for the Seven Luminaries. Just substituting it into the Body Tempering Technique will only take a few minutes. Naturally, these geniuses from various schools of thought wouldn't be willing to do that.

In their view, since Feng Xue had produced an unparalleled achievement, the magic they created based on that achievement must also be unparalleled.

As Feng Xue recorded the Seven Luminaries Body Forging technique, which was originally the ultimate goal but had now become the introductory stage, she watched as the group of people continuously incorporated calendars, astrology, and even the system of destiny into this body forging technique.

If he couldn't understand anything at all, he could sit quietly to the side and act as a reading machine, providing some data and theoretical help to the geniuses of the Hundred Schools. But the problem is that he can understand a little bit, and it is this little bit that makes him want to calculate and think, and then Little Bell and Kaguya also crash.

Honestly, Feng Xue found it hard to understand how these people could use their brains to calculate astronomical data that would cause even two AI virtual gods, which were attached to nanometer units and magic calculation arrays, to lag.

"Master Feng, do you think the Purple Star should hang high in the sky, or should it be below us?"

Just as Feng Xue was pondering, a young man from the Xihe School of Yin-Yang suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Feng Xue was slightly taken aback, but then she understood what the other party meant by asking the question. The current idea proposed by everyone is to compare the human body to the solar system, with the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) corresponding to the five internal organs and five energies. The sun represents the physical body, the earth represents the soul, and the moon represents the spirit.

This mainly follows the approach of aligning the heavens and humanity, which is fine. The twenty-eight constellations are incorporated into mathematical concepts as the four directions and four symbols, which is also fine.

But the problem lies in the location of this Ziwei Enclosure.

The Ziwei Enclosure, which is the area where Polaris is located, is the center of the star map. Whether to place it above or below is a difficult question.

If this were placed in the context of acaricides, it would be obvious and would be placed at the top of one's head. However, this is a time of diverse opinions and collaborative discussion, so everyone should naturally engage in academic thinking.

Placing it at one's feet means being on the imperial throne, ruling as emperor. Beyond the throne lies the Taiwei Enclosure, and beyond that, the Tianshi Enclosure. This seems better in terms of its symbolic meaning, but after a moment's thought, Feng Xue suddenly shook her head and said:
"The Purple Crape Myrtle Enclosure should be placed in the sky."

Upon hearing Feng Xue's words, the young man from the Yin-Yang School who had asked the question was slightly taken aback, seemingly somewhat surprised. Many people around him also perked up their ears, and the elder from the Shi family even took out his history book to record it.

Feng Xue seemed unfazed by the commotion, and said with a light laugh:
"Don't forget my Seven Luminaries Star Chart. This system is not astrology or divination. Don't think too much about the symbolism. It is simply a star chart. We must recognize that the earth beneath our feet and the star system we belong to are not the center of this universe. We must face our insignificance. We are not the Purple Star, so why should we trample the Purple Star Enclosure under our feet? We should place ourselves in the sky, look up at it every day, and then ponder when we, with our insignificant bodies, can go and see it from there!"

Upon hearing this, the young man from the Xihe Sect immediately nodded and said:
"Been taught a lesson!"

(Everyone knows the Twenty-Eight Mansions, so I'll just list the Three Enclosures here. The Purple Palace Enclosure represents the emperor, the Supreme Palace Enclosure represents the court, and the Heavenly Market Enclosure represents the common people. As we all know, the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) are close together, meaning they can appear everywhere. So, we judge good or bad fortune by where these stars appear. For example, if Mars appears in the Heavenly Market Enclosure, it means there will be chaos among the people; if it appears in the Supreme Palace Enclosure, it means there will be chaos in the court. As for how, who, and where the chaos will occur, please refer to the names.)
