Shangguan Ce sighed slightly, his heart hurting.

But he was very scheming and could not express his emotions or anger, and his face remained majestic and expressionless.

…

After entering Shangguan's house, Shangguan Ce returned to his study.

His study was luxurious and elegant, with a compass placed in the middle.

"If you cannot understand the secrets of heaven and cannot see through cause and effect, no matter how high your level is, you can only become someone else's plaything."

The older he gets, the more he has experienced, the stronger his cultivation, and the higher his level of contact, the deeper Shangguan Ce feels about this sentence.

It's a pity that the art of Tianji has long since declined.

Although Shangguan Ce tried every means, he could only get some superficial knowledge of the inheritance of Tianjishu.

Heavenly arithmetic is a very profound monastic knowledge, which cannot be achieved overnight. It needs to be understood from the outside to the inside, from the shallow to the deep, and to understand it bit by bit.

Shangguan policy also understands this.

He does not seek to be proficient, but seeks to know something.

But I don't know if it is because he is too selfish. He can't understand the secrets no matter how much he studies them. No matter how he looks at them, he is always confused.

It was as if his eyes were covered by something.

What I see is just the appearance of my own selfish desires, not the destiny itself.

But in everything, you have to be brave enough to try.

Shangguan Ce planned to start with something simpler, such as...

The kid named "Mo Hua".

He had this idea when he was in the Gu family.

This was not the first time he heard the name "Mo Hua".

He had already heard about Yu'er.

But this time at Gu's house, it was the first time for him to see ink paintings, and at the same time, he also had an... indescribable subtle feeling.

He looks innocent, but he is also very smart.

She looks simple, but she has a lot of city power in her chest.

Although the external image and temperament were completely different, Shangguan Ce always felt that this child was somewhat similar to Gu Shouyan, the head of the Gu family whom he had dealt with all his life.

There is something almost eccentric about his actions.

What’s even more strange is that this child named Mo Hua is obviously just a casual cultivator and looks ordinary, but he can be appreciated by Taixu Sect Patriarch Xun?

Shangguan Ce was puzzled.

He wanted to do the math.

He is not qualified to calculate the Dongxu, he cannot calculate the Ascension, and it is very difficult for him to calculate the Golden Core. But for a mere monk in the early stage of foundation building, a simple calculation should not cause any serious problems.

It’s not too deep, just calculate the origin...

Shangguan Ce began to fiddle with the compass.

The compass rises and falls due to cause and effect, and Qi circulates.

But after only turning one mark, the compass suddenly shut down and trembled violently.

At the same time, Shangguan Ce felt a bloody aura coming towards his face.

Shangguan Ce's hair stood on end and his heart trembled. He immediately threw away the compass and sealed his mind, not daring to peep into any cause and effect.

After a while, everything disappeared.

Shangguan Ce lowered his head and saw that there were cracks on the compass. He couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

"Tianji...is it such a dangerous thing?"

I just picked the simplest child to calculate, how could he encounter such a dangerous opportunity?

even……

He didn't even see what this "murderous opportunity" was...

His arithmetic skills were too rudimentary, so he only scratched the surface and did not see the true nature of the evil plan. Instead, he escaped disaster.

Even so, Shangguan Ce's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time.

The face drawn in ink came to his mind again.

"Is this kid born with this kind of personality? Or is it someone who arranged a trick to protect his karma?"

"Being a casual cultivator, it is impossible to be born with such a fate."

"That's...Mr. Xun's method?"

Shangguan Ce frowned, "But Taixu Sect, when did it have such a brilliant secret method?"

"And what is so special about this child that it deserves Mr. Xun to take so much pains and protect him?"

Shangguan Ce thought hard and had no solution, and finally looked at the compass on the table in silence.

The compass is cracked.

This is the backlash of cause and effect.

Shangguan Ce sighed in his heart.

Perhaps everyone underestimated this old Mr. Xun.

This is Mr. Xun trying to remind himself, no, or rather, he is reminding everyone who tries to deduce the cause and effect of the child...

Don’t look at what you shouldn’t see, don’t count what you shouldn’t count.

Shangguan Ce looked blank, and finally shook his head helplessly.

That’s all.

The arithmetic of heavenly secrets is not enough and cannot be deduced by force, otherwise it will be counterattacked.

I was lucky this time. Mr. Xun may not be so polite next time.

Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom.

Behind this child, stood the highly respected Mr.

Unless you really break up, you must never offend again.

Shangguan Ce silently remembered the name "Mo Hua" in his heart and stopped asking about it for the time being.

…

On the other hand, Mo Hua had also returned to the sect long ago.

After a trip to Gu's house, he played, played and ate. This year, he didn't go anywhere and just stayed at his disciple Currie to practice formations.

Although it is a bit deserted, it is very fulfilling.

The level of formations in ink painting is also improving little by little.

He is already familiar with most of the second-level formations of the seventeen lines taught by Mr. Xun.

And the New Year passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a new year has arrived.

This is the third year in Taixumen.

Within this year, you must solve the mystery array, break through bottlenecks, advance to the middle stage of foundation building, and then prepare for the practice after the middle stage of foundation building.

You also need to learn more about the formations of the seventeen patterns.

In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the loopholes are usually tied to the laws of heaven of one's "spiritual consciousness". It is also necessary to see if it can be filled, or to find a way to repair it.

Also, we need to see if the Gu family's property can be improved.

The Gu family's family dinner years ago made Mo Hua understand that the seemingly prosperous Gu family was also being squeezed out by other families, and life might not be easy for them.

And Uncle Gu is from the Gu family. The monks of the Gu family are very kind to him. He even has a secret order from the Gu family in his hand.

In other words, the Gu family can be regarded as his "backstage".

When the Gu family is prosperous, he can often go out to eat.

If you encounter difficulties in the future, the Gu family will be able to help you.

If the Gu family is really in dire straits and has too much time to take care of themselves, let alone asking the Gu family to help in times of crisis, even if they go to have a meal, there will probably be no table left.

Therefore, the Gu family must not decline!

Mo Hua said silently in his heart.

However, this kind of thing is more complicated and needs to be considered in the long term and carefully considered...
