"Professor Bai, you Three-Sub-Talisman Law are so awesome!"

Two days later, when we went to Old Man Bai's house again, Zheng Fa couldn't help but praise Bai Yuanying.

This old man did a big job behind his back.

"A little gain, a little gain!"

Old Man Bai waved his hands, his tone seemed modest, but his face was full of arrogance.

Zheng Fa looked at Old Man Bai, who was quite arrogant, and suddenly took out the notebook from his backpack.

"Professor Bai, I didn't understand some questions about Three-Sub-Talisman Law in the notes - can I ask you, the creator, for advice?"

Zheng Fa asked for advice sincerely.

"Say!" Old Man Bai tilted his mouth and leaned back on the chair, showing his domineering attitude.

"In Three-Sub-Talisman, except for Five-Element Sub-Talisman, there are other two types of sub-symbols - how many are there respectively?"

"..." Old Man Bai grinned and was silent for a while Heavenly Dao: "... Not sure, more Talisman Diagram is needed to study."

"Are these sub-talents limited?"

"... Not sure either."

"What are the functions of the other two types of sub-talents?"

"...not sure."

Zheng Fa slowly put down the notebook in his hand, staring at Old Man Bai with deep eyes.

Old Man Bai slowly sat up straight, the pride on his face slowly turned into embarrassment.

"These... are all the results of the algorithm." Old Man Bai spoke in a low voice, as if he was defending aggrievedly. "In such a short period of time, I have not been exposed to the real Spiritual Qi magic talisman. What can I see?"

Zheng Fa flipped through the notebook and found that the tone used by Old Man Bai in the notebook was mostly guesswork.

Old Man Bai hesitated for a while, then suddenly spoke again, "Actually, Lingwu had a guess before, which I think is a bit interesting."

"Huh?"

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu. Tang Lingwu's face turned a little red and seemed a little embarrassed. He whispered, "I was just imagining it."

"What's your guess? Tell me?"

Zheng Fa is quite curious as to what kind of idea would make Old Man Bai find it interesting.

"Lingwu doesn't study computers, so she just thought - after all, the magic talisman is the process of dialogue between man and the world, which is similar to the interaction of computer hardware."

Zheng Fa was a little confused, he seemed to understand what Tang Lingwu's guess was.

"Code?"

Zheng Fa couldn't help but think of what Senior Sister Zhang had said before when she was discussing the nature of runes with him - she thought the runes were the flow tracks of Spiritual Qi, but some people called the runes Dao Script.

"Yes!" Old Man Bai clapped his hands and said, "Lingwu, what did you say?"

He looked at Zheng Fa with some curious eyes.

"I've been wondering, what makes the magic talisman work?" Tang Lingwu was no longer shy. She explained to Zheng Fa, "According to your description, in my opinion, the essence of the magic talisman is to use Divine Soul or spiritual power to control everything in the world."

"I was just wondering if Origin Talisman can be regarded as a function."

"The three types of sub-symbols are actually three types of statements with different functions. For example, Five-Element Sub-Talisman, can it be regarded as a calling statement-tell the world which kind of Spiritual Qi I need."

"The other two sub-symbols may have other functions. For example, one is responsible for logical calculations, and the other is an output interface for interacting with all things in the world..."

Tang Lingwu's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was not confident. He finally added, "I was just imagining it."

Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai both laughed.

"It's quite interesting. If it works, it will be Tang’s Second Law of Talisman Dao!" Old Man Bai said with a smile.

Zheng Fa also nodded, looking at Tang Lingwu with a somewhat encouraging look - of course this idea is immature, and it still needs a lot of improvement and verification.

But it's not impossible.

Moreover, both Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai know that Tang Lingwu has never been very confident.

This lack of confidence makes Tang Lingwu work hard all the time.

In fact, whether it's Zheng Fa or Old Man Bai, I think this girl has really helped a lot.

But Tang Lingwu seems to be unaware of the power of money.

Looking at the smiling eyes of Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai, Tang Lingwu's eyes were lowered, but his expression was cheerful and lively.

Tang’s Second Law of Talisman Dao, of course, only exists in conjecture.

But Bai's First Law of Talisman Dao has now been modified into Three-Sub-Talisman Law (the incomplete version) - to be honest, this thing is a bit of an unexpected surprise, but on the other hand, it brings more mysteries.

But after Old Man Bai solved it, Zheng Fa is no longer impatient.

At least they are revealing the true nature of Talisman Dao little by little.

"By the way, Professor Bai, how is the man you said you were going to Capital City to see who is dying soon?"

At that time, Old Man Bai acted alone - after all, Zheng Fa didn't know anyone else, and a seriously ill person might not want to be disturbed, so it was inconvenient for them to come to the door rashly.

"I didn't see it." Old Man Bai's tone was a little weird. "I also missed the funeral she held for me."

"... a funeral you organized yourself?"

Zheng Fa feels like he can't understand Chinese Characters.

"Yes, that guy said he held a funeral for himself while he was still alive. I heard he cried so hard at the scene..."

"..."

"What now?"

Old Man Bai took out his mobile phone, opened the watch list in the short video software, and selected one of the video bloggers.

"Here."

Zheng Fa and Tang Lingwu leaned their heads together and saw on the screen an old lady wearing a military green jacket and sunglasses, with flying hair and a wild smile, riding a black motorcycle, rumbling in the wilderness.

"This is..."

"Let's travel around the world."

Only then did Zheng Fa know why Old Man Bai said he had not seen this person.

"Professor Bai, what is this for?"

Tang Lingwu looked at the old lady in this shot with bright eyes, seeming a little envious - this girl may have imagined herself to look like this.

"Didn't Zheng Fa say before that we need agricultural experts?" Old Man Bai explained, "This guy has been engaged in agricultural research all his life. He has never been married and has no children, so he just takes care of those lands."

"... This temperament doesn't look like it, does it?"

Zheng Fa looked at the screen again, feeling a little doubtful.

"As people say, you have been a bitch all your life and you are about to die, so you have to be more fashionable." Old Man Bai sighed, "You are always rebellious."

"..."

"Professor Bai, what is your relationship with her?"

Thinking about the ages of the two of them, and looking at the heroic appearance of the old lady in the camera, Zheng Fa couldn't help but have some ambiguous associations.

"Before, we were at Capital City and participated in an elderly blind date group in Kochi." Old Man Bai was still a little embarrassed. "I met her before."

"Like it?"

"... kind of."

"They refused?" Zheng Fa asked again.

"..." Old Man Bai sighed and said, "I'm not here for a blind date! She said she didn't want to get married, and her mother forced her to come - she said she wouldn't be taken care of when she gets old and dies."

"How old was she then?"

"Fifty-eight."

Zheng Fa is silent. She is still being urged to get married at the age of fifty-eight. No wonder she is rebellious in old age.

"She also said that it's better now. She died early and her mother doesn't have to worry anymore." Old Man Bai said with a sigh, as if she still had some unresolved feelings for the old lady.

"You two..."

"If you can't be a wife, can you be an old friend? I've been contacting her in the past two days, but she's on the road, so she's been slow to reply." Old Man Bai clicked on the chat list of the software again. "Huh? She's replied?"

He read the news, raised his head and said to Zheng Fa, "She will come to the provincial capital next month."

He didn't say the rest of the words, but Zheng Fa understood the pleading in his eyes.

He looked at the notebook in his hand and said, "If I can help, I will try."

Xuanwei Realm, today is the day that Senior Sister Zhang leaves the clan.

She didn't go alone.

This time she goes to Taiyang Commandery, and she will bring a group of her disciples there.

If Senior Sister Zhang goes alone, then naturally it will come as quickly as possible.

But with these disciples, for the sake of safety, she chose the Flying Shuttle in the sect - this is also a kind of boat commonly used by monks. It is in the shape of a shuttle and is five or six times faster than the Jieyin Ship, but it can carry many fewer people.

A group of people were standing on the pier, and Senior Sister Zhang stood at the front of the crowd.

The time for departure has passed.

But Senior Sister Zhang did not move, but frowned slightly, as if waiting for something.

Some disciples felt a little strange, but did not dare to speak. They just used their eyes to ask their companions:

"Who is Senior Sister Zhang waiting for?"

You know, Senior Sister Zhang is a resolute and decisive character who can go as soon as he says it.

Who can, no, who dares to make her wait?

At this time, she had been standing on the pier for a long time, looking like she would rather wait a few more hours.

The disciple turned his eyes and pursed his lips towards the distance.

Smoke and dust rose, and the figure of Zheng Fa hurried from a distance.

With Armored Horse Talisman attached to his legs, he was as fast as a galloping horse. Only when he arrived at the pier and saw Senior Sister Zhang and the others did he feel relieved. "Senior sister!"

He shouted towards Senior Sister Zhang.

After Zheng Dharma Body, he was followed by Seventh Young Master's sister and brother. They were also acquaintances with Senior Sister Zhang. They heard from Zheng Fa that Senior Sister Zhang was going to Taiyang Commandery - and Taiyang Commandery also came to see him off at this time.

Senior Sister Zhang looked at him coming over disheveled, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed.

The disciples behind him looked at each other twice, their eyes full of understanding.

"I'm late..."

Zheng Fa was a little embarrassed and opened his mouth to explain something.

Senior Sister Zhang waved his hand and interrupted him directly, "I know you."

Zheng Fa was startled, then suddenly laughed, and handed a book in his hand to Senior Sister Zhang.

"<Three-Sub-Talisman Law>? Give it to me?"

Senior Sister Zhang lowered his head, looked at the title of the book, and then looked up at Zheng Fa.

"Well, although it's not perfect yet, it may be of some help to Senior Sister." Zheng Fa said, "Junior Brother almost missed seeing Senior Sister off because he copied this book."

Behind them, Seventh Young Master sister and brother looked at the two people talking and did not dare to come forward.

Senior Sister Zhang and Zhao Family are old, but in the end they are related to each other from the previous generation - Senior Sister Zhang itself is not close to the Zhao Family.

The two of them saw with their own eyes that Senior Sister Zhang's brows relaxed slightly, and the brilliance in his eyes almost made them feel that this was not the Senior Sister Zhang they knew.

"Are you going to Taiyang Commandery too?"

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly asked Zhao Jinglan.

"... Yes!"

"You live in Zheng Fa's house now?"

"... Yes!"

"You can get on the boat too." Senior Sister Zhang nodded towards Zhao Jinglan. Zhao Jinglan seemed to not understand. He froze on the spot and said after a long time:

"Is this... convenient?"

"You and I are old friends, so there's nothing inconvenient about it."

Senior Sister Zhang glanced at Zheng Fa lightly and spoke righteously.

"... Yes!"

Zhao Jinglan looked back at Zheng Fa, with deep thought in his eyes.

It is of course better to follow Senior Sister Zhang. After all, the safety is guaranteed and you can also wear a layer of tiger skin.

Watching Flying Shuttle gradually go away, Seventh Young Master touched his chin and looked at Zheng Fa suspiciously. "Senior Sister Zhang took my sister away just now, was it really because of the relationship between our two families?"

"...Senior Sister Zhang is such a warm-hearted person!" Zheng Fa said with a straight face.

"... I just saw it. When you handed her the book, she smiled so happily!" Seventh Young Master curled her lips and said, "What's in the book? Love poems?"

"..."

Zheng Fa saw it, and Seventh Young Master thought the book was a love letter.

But...

The number one author of that thing is Old Man Bai. It's hard to chase a rebellious old lady.

It doesn't seem to match well.

The second author, uh, is Tang Lingwu...

In the river next to the pier, there was a young man standing on a small boat. He was wearing a scribe's robe. He also looked at Flying Shuttle who was going away, and said softly to the two people around him, "Zhang Wuyi is gone. Let's explore the bottom of that Zheng Fa."
