However, Fang Zhengzhi was not in the mood to admire Chi Guyan's beauty. After all, he only had less than two hours to solve the problem in front of him.
A blank piece of paper …
What could it be?
According to Chi Guyan's explanation, everything came from nothingness, and from nothingness to nothingness. Hence, this was a blank piece of paper. It was not too difficult to understand this logic.
However, was it really so?
Fang Zhengzhi was not sure, and he had no way to confirm it. Because, if that was the case, he should be in the Ninth Heaven now, and not trapped here.
There was a problem, there was definitely a problem, but what was the problem? Was it because Chi Guyan's idea was not perfect, or was there some other meaning behind it?
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the snow-white scroll above his head quietly.
He had to admit that this scroll was really white, like snow, like frost, and there was nothing special about it. If it was not for the fact that he was in the Eighth Heaven, he would not have taken a second look at it.
"Indeed, it's very difficult!" Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed in his heart.
In fact, when he saw the white scroll in the Eighth Heaven, he knew that it was not a coincidence that only one person had reached the Ninth Heaven since the establishment of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. It was inevitable.
A blank piece of paper was too difficult to solve, and he had no idea where to start …
Wait a minute!
Start?
Suddenly, an inexplicable and extremely daring idea appeared in Fang Zhengzhi's mind. Or rather, it was an idea that no one would think of, and no one would think of.
That was …
He drew a stroke on the painting.
Of course, this idea was not difficult to come up with. However, the Divine Rain Pond was a sacred place in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
As a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, who would dare to draw on it?
If Fang Zhengzhi had already joined the Heaven Dao Pavilion, or if he had not made such a bet with Chi Guyan, even if he could think of this idea, he would not do it.
Because, if he failed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It could be said that Fang Zhengzhi was the first "outsider" to enter the Divine Rain Pond in thousands of years. Furthermore, he had to bear the pressure of entering the Ninth Heaven.
With this thought, Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up, as though he saw a ray of light in the darkness.
"Give it a try? Since I've already come this far, I might not get pregnant even if I give it a try. In the worst case scenario, if I really break it … I'll just run! "Fang Zhengzhi felt no pressure at all.
Since he was definitely going to leave, it was naturally not a big problem to give it a try before he left. Of course, the most important reason was that he understood that the Nine Heavens should not be so pretentious since it had existed for so long.
How could it be ruined with just a simple brush stroke?
That's not the case!
Fang Zhengzhi had always been a decisive person. He did not hesitate for long. As for the pen … as a scholar, he naturally carried it with him.
With a thought, the Four Treasures of the Study appeared in front of him.
"Stop laughing, grind the ink for me!" When Fang Zhengzhi thought about how he was about to enter the Ninth Heaven, he naturally treated Chi Guyan as a servant to warm his bed.
"Grinding ink?" The smile on Chi Guyan's face disappeared. Her eyes that were as bright as the stars looked at the four treasures of the study in front of Fang Zhengzhi, and then looked at the white scroll above her head. In an instant, she seemed to understand. "Don't tell me you want to draw a painting on it?"
"Can't I?" Fang Zhengzhi asked back.
"It is worth a try." After a moment of silence, Chi Guyan unexpectedly nodded her head. Then, she really sat beside Fang Zhengzhi and started to grind the ink.
This action undoubtedly surprised Fang Zhengzhi. Because, he really did not expect Chi Guyan to agree to his actions so readily.
Did this girl not have the awareness of protecting the "public property of the sect"?
Of course, this was obviously not important now. What was important was that Chi Guyan had agreed. Then, the next thing to consider was what to draw.
Draw a dragon?
Or a phoenix, or a red carp in the waves, or something like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, to show off his painting skills.
Uh, too complicated …
Let's just draw a random brush stroke. Just like the First Heaven, one brush stroke from top to bottom, simple and clear. Furthermore, it was also in line with the profound logic of the Great Dao being the simplest.
Once he thought about it, he looked at the ink gushing out from the inkstone and the faint ink fragrance. Fang Zhengzhi picked up the brush and casually pointed at the inkstone.
Then, he leapt up.
It could be said that Fang Zhengzhi's current posture was still very elegant. His arms were spread out and his eyes were full of energy. He looked like a wild goose flying in the sky.
Of course, if not for the tattered blue robe, it would be even more perfect.
When Chi Guyan saw this, she did not do anything. Instead, she watched quietly as Fang Zhengzhi leaped into the sky, a faint smile on her face.
Fang Zhengzhi did not notice the expression on Chi Guyan's face. His eyes were now naturally focused on the white scroll that was getting closer and closer.
Closer and closer …
Waving the brush, from top to bottom, in one breath!
A thick brush, formed under Fang Zhengzhi's brush. On the snow-white scroll, it formed a mark that looked like the edge of a sword.
"Not bad, the brush strokes are bold and powerful, revealing a domineering aura!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the thick brush stroke on the snow-white scroll and was rather satisfied.
Then …
There was no then.
A thick brush stroke indeed appeared on the scroll. However, no sound was heard, and Fang Zhengzhi was still in the Eighth Heaven.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi landed on the ground and waited for a moment. He blinked his eyes, "Could it be that one stroke is not enough, and I need to draw more? Or, should I really draw a carp leaping over the dragon gate? "
Just as he was thinking about this, the originally silent scroll suddenly lit up with a faint glow. It looked like a sparkling white jade.
"Hmm?" When Chi Guyan saw this scene, her bright eyes seemed to be slightly shocked. She stared fixedly at the painting that was radiating brilliance.
And Fang Zhengzhi's face was obviously filled with joy.
"There's movement, I am indeed very quick-witted!" Subconsciously, Fang Zhengzhi gave himself 32 thumbs up in his heart. After all, not everyone could think of such a whimsical idea, "Looks like … it's time to go to the Ninth Heaven and shine!"
Waiting.
Fang Zhengzhi was waiting for the authoritative voice to be heard.
However, in reality, the authoritative voice did not come out immediately. The thick brush stroke that Fang Zhengzhi had drawn on the white scroll was now slowly disappearing.
It looked as if it had been absorbed by the white scroll.
"Disappearing? From existence to nothing? That should be it! "Fang Zhengzhi looked at the scroll that had returned to white, and he became more confident.
At this moment, the calm and bright sky suddenly let out a deafening roar.
This was the sound of thunder.
Then, a purple lightning bolt as thick as the mouth of a bowl streaked across the sky. It was extremely fast, and it directly struck Fang Zhengzhi from above.
"Eh? Could it be that this is the correct way to open the Ninth Heaven? "Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback, and the lightning struck his body directly.
"Boom!" The ground shook.
Fang Zhengzhi instantly felt as though he was about to ascend to Immortality. From head to toe, streaks of lightning wrapped around his body, causing him to feel numb all over.
And, most importantly … …
Fang Zhengzhi's face was very black.
Of course, if it was anyone else who was struck by lightning like this, their face would also be black, just like Fang Zhengzhi's current expression.
Then …
There was no then again.
The sky became bright again, and the wind was still as refreshing as ever. The eight white pillars were still standing quietly in front of him, and the white scroll above his head was still as white as ever.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi's face was really black this time. Not only his face was black, but his heart was even more black. It was so black that he was a little dumbfounded. "So, it's gone just like that? Didn't you say that it would be done immediately after one stroke? Didn't you say that you could fly straight to the Ninth Heaven? "
"Hahaha …" Chi Guyan's laughter rang out at this moment. It was very loud, and she did not try to hide it at all. Her unbridled laughter caused her body to tremble.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. Not only was he speechless, but he was also very depressed. He had never been this depressed before.
All along, he felt that he had extraordinary ideas.
For example, this time …
Such a bold and creative idea, who could have thought of it? Even if others could think of it, would they dare to do it?
No!
Impossible!
Fang Zhengzhi was almost certain that his idea and method were definitely unprecedented, but reality was very cruel.
Not only did he not go to the Ninth Heaven, he even got struck by lightning?
What was the meaning of this!
Wait a minute!
To be honest, it did not seem like he did not gain anything at all. At least, he got struck by lightning, this was a fact, right?
"Is it very funny?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan behind him, and her chest that was rising and falling due to her laughter, and smiled disdainfully.
"Is it not funny?" Chi Guyan asked back, her bright eyes still containing a smile. That was a kind of happiness that came from the heart, and it was completely without any worries.
"At least, there is some movement, isn't it?" Fang Zhengzhi also asked back.
"Now that you put it this way, it seems to be true … hmm, maybe this is really a way!" When Chi Guyan heard this, the smile in her eyes disappeared instantly, and she regained her seriousness. She looked like she was really thinking about it seriously.
Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, twitched his mouth, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "It really is a way? Why don't you try this method! "
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was cursing in his heart, Chi Guyan really took a step forward, and came to Fang Zhengzhi's side, her eyes also very seriously looking at the snow-white picture scroll above her head.
"Maybe … there is a problem with your drawing." As Chi Guyan said that, she didn't look at Fang Zhengzhi, as if she was talking to herself.
"What's the problem?" Fang Zhengzhi asked back.
"Think about it carefully. From the First Heaven to the Seventh Heaven, isn't there a process from simple to complicated, and finally, back to one?" Chi Guyan continued.
"Hmm?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback, then, his mind involuntarily recalled the First Heaven, and the Seventh Heaven scroll.
It was indeed as Chi Guyan said.
From the First Heaven to the Third Heaven, the picture scroll also went from one stroke to splashing ink. It didn't look like there were many changes, but it was from simple to complex, from the origin to the origin.
And after the Fourth Heaven, there were countless changes, and this kind of change almost reached the limit at the Sixth Heaven.
Finally, at the Seventh Heaven …
It became "one" again.
Of course, this "one" wasn't the "one" mentioned in the numbers, but thousands of changes, merging into one, becoming one.
From simple to complex, and back to one.
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes suddenly lit up. He suddenly felt that this seemed to be a cycle, a cycle from nothing to something, and then from something to nothing.
"I think we can try again!" At this moment, Chi Guyan spoke again, her voice was filled with an unusual kind of determination.
"How do you want to try?" Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously asked.
"I observed carefully just now, after you drew on it, this white picture scroll didn't change immediately, but waited for a while before it started to light up." Chi Guyan analyzed.
"So, what you mean is?"
"Maybe … it's waiting for you to draw another stroke!"
"Draw another stroke? Is it possible that it will attract two bolts of lightning? "Fang Zhengzhi heard and casually guessed.
"It's possible!" Chi Guyan nodded.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi felt that it wasn't just possible, it was too possible. How was this a try? It was simply using her body as a primer, "Why don't you try?"
"Okay!" Chi Guyan nodded again, as if she didn't have any hesitation, completely not having the awareness of the possibility of being struck by lightning.
And Fang Zhengzhi's heart was slightly shocked.
It can't be?
Was Chi Guyan really that naive to think that if one stroke was useless, two strokes would be enough? This kind of stupidity … doesn't match Chi Guyan's quick-wittedness?
Why not be more generous and let her try?
No!
What if this girl really succeeded, and then flew to the Ninth Heaven in one fell swoop, what would he do? Even if he followed her appearance and drew two smiles, it would be useless.
As long as Chi Guyan reached the Ninth Heaven before him, then the bet would be equivalent to the end, and he would no longer have a chance to turn the tables.
I can't let her try!
Fang Zhengzhi was just about to stop her, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was not quite right. Could it be that Chi Guyan was purposely making use of the fact that he didn't dare to let her try, so that he could keep trying?
And she would be picking up the ready-made ones from behind?
This wasn't impossible, and on the contrary, this possibility was very high. After all, Chi Guyan was never a very naive and stupid person.
What should he do?
Should he let Chi Guyan try, or should he try?
Fang Zhengzhi really couldn't make up his mind, after all, if he let Chi Guyan try, it was very likely that he would lose the bet, but if he tried, he might be struck by two bolts of lightning …
"I'm going to draw." Just as Fang Zhengzhi was hesitating, Chi Guyan took out a brush and dipped it into the ink on the inkstone.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Chi Guyan was about to leap up, Fang Zhengzhi immediately stopped Chi Guyan's' impulsive 'action, "I am a man, this should be done by me!"
"Are you sure?" Chi Guyan had a shocked expression on her face.
"Of course I'm sure!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Naturally, he could guess that there might be a trap, but, what could he do? Could it be that he could only watch as Chi Guyan tried?
What if Chi Guyan really succeeded?
Compared to being a lowly servant for a month and being struck by two bolts of lightning, Fang Zhengzhi felt that two bolts of lightning was simply too easy.
Even if he took a step back …
A real man should face his miserable life, it was just one or two bolts of lightning, what was there to be afraid of?
He had to do what he said.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't wait for Chi Guyan's reply, he immediately leapt up and flew towards the white scroll above his head.
When Chi Guyan saw this, her lips curled into a smile, and a bright light flashed across her eyes.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally couldn't turn back at this moment.
His gaze was still fixated on the white scroll in front of him, he waved the brush in his hand continuously, and two sword-like ink marks appeared on the white scroll once again.
A sharp aura was emitted from the ink marks.
Needless to say, Fang Zhengzhi was really going all out this time, these two ink marks even contained a trace of his Dragon Slayer Slash technique.
"I don't believe that I can't do it this time!" After Fang Zhengzhi finished waving the brush, he slowly descended, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Just as he descended, the two ink marks on the white scroll slowly disappeared, almost exactly the same as before.
Then …
Fang Zhengzhi also felt that something was amiss.
When he raised his head, his eyes widened abruptly, because, the originally calm and bright horizon changed once again, then, two bolts of lightning struck down at the same time.
"…" This time, Fang Zhengzhi wasn't naive to think that this was the correct way to open the Ninth Heaven, almost without any hesitation, he immediately dodged to the side.
However, the strange thing was, the moment he dodged, the two bolts of lightning seemed to have a mind of their own, and they made a turn towards his position.
"Boom!" A loud sound was heard.
Immediately, Fang Zhengzhi felt as though all the hairs on his body were standing up, it was very exhilarating, so exhilarating that he couldn't take it anymore, "F * ck, there really are two bolts of lightning!"
