Chapter 172: Binary System
Inside the Sutra Repository, the atmosphere was stuffy and cramped.
Because few people visited late at night, the doors and windows of the pavilion were locked in the pitch-black darkness.
Song Bei walked ahead stumblingly.
Occasionally bumping into dusty bookshelves.
The stirred dust was mixed with the pungent smell of blood, the woody scent of old books, the scent of oil smoke and ink, camphor, wormwood, the faint sour smell of aging paper, and the faint sandalwood.
Chu Yan lowered his eyes slightly.
Without the need for light, I could roughly outline the appearance of the Song Family Sutra Library in my mind.
here--
It is the confluence of all causes and effects, and that invisible hand is pointing the direction for her.
In the past few months, just a few words from the Taixuan Sutra have turned her life upside down. She seemed to have a premonition that once the skills were complete, it would change more than just her own destiny.
The Song Clan of Dongting, the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and countless unknown people buried in the long river of history——
She came here to look for more than just a set of exercises.
There is another answer.
When they reached the corner, Song Bei swiped his badge again, climbed the narrow stairs and pushed the door.
The blindingly bright light and the incense came pouring in!
The second floor of the library is spacious and bright. It is a temple dedicated to the ancestors of the Song family, built amidst the intricate staircases and corridors.
Incense was burning beside the ever-burning lamp. The family tree hanging high and dangling to the ground was densely packed with intricate details. On the wall were carefully mounted scrolls, portraits of outstanding male members of the Song family throughout the ages. The hall was filled with a flourishing population, and the bright candlelight seemed to reflect the glory of the Song family's water fortress for thousands of years. Chu Yan stood in the dark, like countless women who had married into the family in glory, a shadow that could not be discerned in detail under the glory.
Song Bei was strangled by the sword tip and trembled all the way.
When he entered the hall, the light barely dispelled some of his fear, and he suddenly reacted.
The person who kidnapped me was just a young girl.
Even if they have high cultivation, the women in the inner house lack ruthlessness and cannot stand the sight of blood. On the contrary, I have gained this cultivation by killing many warriors. As long as I move fast enough——
Song Bei grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist without hesitation and mobilized all his energy to exert force!
The next moment, his expression suddenly froze, and then his arm was bent by the huge force. He flew up while holding his abdomen, and then his back of the head hit the ground, and he was thrown heavily on the cold ground of the hall!
Chu Yan's foot was on his face.
He spat out blood foam in fear, his face was hot due to congestion, and his chest felt like it was falling into an ice cellar. The tip of the sword was clearly pointing at his right chest, where the Tao seed resided!
Just this time.
Chu Yan seemed to have lost his patience to hold him hostage with politeness, and the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword pierced his flesh directly, searching for the Dao Seed between his ribs at random. Song Bei almost fainted from the pain, but just as he was about to howl, the sword force rose out of thin air and was about to accurately cut off his vocal cords!
He finally saw Chu Yan's expression clearly in the light as bright as day.
Among the countless paintings of Song’s ancestors with kind faces and slightly upturned lips.
Chu Yan is an exception.
Neither sad nor happy, his eyes were cold, reflecting himself.
When she lowered her head, she revealed her fair neck, her hair dyed soft golden by the candlelight, and her eyelashes as fine as crow feathers. Even if she took someone's life, she would still be like a stunningly beautiful Asura in a solemn Dharma image.
Song Bei trembled in panic, and in the moment before his vocal cords were cut off, he thrashed and rolled in despair: "I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way right now!"
A few minutes later.
Song Bei finally led her to the last door.
The so-called fragments of the Taixuan Sutra are nothing more than a thin volume placed in a book box.
Song Bei covered the wound on his chest. His vision went dark due to excessive blood loss and he was terrified.
On the one hand, he hoped that Chu Yan would let him go quickly, but on the other hand, he was afraid that Chu Yan still remembered his previous offense, so he had to keep begging for mercy in a hoarse voice.
However, Chu Yan actually found a chair and sat down!
He also opened the Taixuan Sutra by candlelight.
Song Bei's pupils trembled.
The Taixuan Sutra is profound and difficult to explain. Its veins and systems are different from ordinary exercises. It even contains martial arts that go against common sense. Once a martial artist practices incorrectly, it can damage the meridians at best, or severely damage the physique and even the bones.
But Chu Yan started practicing without saying a word.
She was surrounded by true energy, and her cultivation level was close to that of a master, so Song Bei didn't dare to look up at her any longer.
How old is she? Judging from her bone age, she is less than 20! A 20-year-old master is probably not even as good as Gu Yu and Chu Xuan, martial arts prodigies.
At the same time, Song Bei was secretly delighted. Even if Chu Yan was extremely talented, it would be too arrogant to just start practicing. Even if he was a master, what would happen? If he made a mistake in his practice, he would spit blood on the spot and become weak and unable to control himself!
Chu Yan opened the Taixuan Sutra with annotations by Song.
This book is indeed one of several fragments.
Compared with the Yang Xiong Taixuan Jing on the market, it has an additional and crucial part - the hexagram images.
Chu Yan's brows relaxed slightly.
……I see.
Yao Xiang refers to the symbolic symbols used in the exercises.
If the Zhouyi uses the traditional Qian and Kun as binary, and the derived Yin-Yang Bagua as binary representation of nature, then the Taixuan Jing uses heaven, earth, and man as three directions, covering 81 hexagrams, as a three-dimensional expression of martial arts skills.
It was almost impossible for the ancients, who only had abacus and counting sticks, to crack the ternary code in the complicated and confusing Taixuan Sutra.
In the modern martial arts world, few people have tried to decode the Taixuan Sutra. If something goes wrong, it will ruin a martial artist's future and no one will be held responsible.
Therefore, for thousands of years, as long as the Dongting Song family firmly controlled the decoding key of this set of codes, they were able to monopolize the inheritance of the Taixuan Sutra from the source.
And back then, only Pei Mingxue cracked the Taixuan Sutra - which seemed reasonable.
Chu Yan sighed silently.
She specifically looked up Pei Mingxue's information.
Modern computer science is a behemoth built on binary operations, but few people know that Xiaguo’s former neighbor, the Soviet Union, once invested a lot of resources in the development of ternary computers during the Cold War. After the disintegration of the neighboring country, due to economic crisis and political turmoil, this technology has been shelved. However, a student from Xiaguo who was studying at Moscow State University brought the relevant papers and a prototype back to Yenching University.
And that student is Pei Mingye’s colleague today and Pei Mingxue’s former mentor.
Perhaps because of this, without the participation of warriors, Pei Mingxue began to try to refer to the exegesis and annotation materials to perform simulated calculations and decoding on the Taixuan Sutra - and eventually attracted the attention of the Song family.
Chu Yan collected his thoughts and cleared away all distractions.
Pick up the scripture and start practicing from page one.
pat.
If I made a mistake in practicing, the chair would shake.
Chu Yan spat out a mouthful of blood without changing his expression.
Song Bei: “…”
Chu Yan wiped it off and continued practicing.
He spit again and wiped it with his sleeve.
Song Bei: “…”
Chu Yan kept coughing and his true energy was obviously unstable.
Song Bei's heart beat suddenly. Chu Yan looked like he might die at any moment. He might as well plan a route immediately and wait for an opportunity to escape.
Chu Yan glanced at him calmly, lowered his head and operated a few times, then ordered Song Bei: "Turn on your phone."
Song Bei was stunned for a long while, then quickly did as he was told. However, as soon as the phone screen opened, it was as if it had been infected by a Trojan horse. A red APP that he had never installed popped up, and he couldn't close it no matter what he did. It also automatically opened a collection of love poems on the bookshelf!
Chu Yan: “Read.”
Chu Yan: "If you dare to stop, I will kill you."
