“Drawing like this is useless. I’ve already tried it. Unless you can break it down, it’s meaningless.” Seeing that Zhang Weihai was directly copying each square of the pattern, Jiang Yuyan immediately dissuaded him. She had already tried this method.
“You don’t know anything. Just watch. It’ll take at most half an incense stick’s time. I’ll have it done in no time.” Because it’s a pattern, not a design, it needs to be outlined. You can’t just do it directly, or you’ll easily make a mistake.
The trick to solving a Rubik’s Cube is to first place the white face in the middle upwards, then make a white cross on the top, and then move the remaining pieces to their corresponding positions.
Put the white corner back in its place.
Then return the middle layer edge blocks to their positions.
Turn the white face down and find the red-green edge piece. If the red-green edge piece is on the top layer, rotate the top layer clockwise until the edge piece is in the same position as in the first step. Rotate the cube according to the formula to put the edge piece in its correct position.
If the red-green edge piece is in the middle layer but its position or color is wrong, first move the red-green edge piece to the front right position, and then rotate it once again according to one of the following orders.
Then adjust the top edge piece upwards to create a yellow cross.
If a yellow cross does not appear on the top layer after rotating it once according to the formula, you can repeat the rotation according to the formula until a yellow cross appears.
Then adjust the yellow corner piece to the area around the cross.
At this point, the yellow blocks and the colors on the sides may be misaligned, so the yellow blocks at the four corners are positioned.
Finally, adjust the color blocks on the side to their corresponding positions.
Although this isn’t a color scheme, it’s still a six-sided Rubik’s Cube overall. Theoretically, if you represent the six patterns with six colors, outline them, and lock in the most important center and white cubes, it will be much easier to solve.
Jiang Yuyan quickly realized that Zhang Weihao was using a different method than her. He used six colors to represent the six patterns of small squares, categorized them, and then moved them left and right step by step according to the colors.
In less than half an incense stick’s time, the Six Ren Divine Dice were visibly almost completely restored, which completely stunned Jiang Yuyan. Was it really that simple?
(The original show’s method of restoring the story through music was truly outrageous.)
Just how smart is this guy? Compared to Zhang Weihao, the usually arrogant Jiang Yuyan suddenly felt that she wasn’t much different from those fools in the martial arts world. This guy must be the smartest person in the world.
When Jiang Yuyan thought about how Shangguan Haitang’s “Number One Manor Under Heaven” was mainly about certifying the best in all aspects (those who passed the certification could eat and drink for free at the “Number One Manor Under Heaven”), she suddenly felt that awarding the title of “Number One Smart Person Under Heaven” to Zhang Lingyu was definitely more appropriate than the Little Fish she had met before. For some reason, unlike her senior brother Hua Wuque, Jiang Yuyan disliked and rejected that Little Fish.
The Six Ren Divine Dice was quickly opened, and it was indeed hollow inside. The tenth level of the Bright Jade Skill and the hidden Burial of Flowers in the Air were secretly engraved in Sanskrit on the innermost part. The content was not much, only a few hundred words after translation, but it must be said that only those who understand Sanskrit can understand it best, because some things cannot be understood by translation alone.
“What…what kind of script is this…not from Central China?”
“Sanskrit, in Buddhism, is said to have been created by Brahma, the guardian deity of Buddhism, hence the name Sanskrit. Sanskrit is a language of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family, and is one of the oldest languages in the Indo-European language family. It has also had a great influence on the Sino-Tibetan language family. Its alphabet consists of 48 symbols, of which 34 are consonants and 14 are vowels or diphthongs. Currently, this language is mainly mastered by Buddhist monks, mostly located in India and Persia, numbering only a few hundred thousand.”
Sanskrit is one of the 22 official languages of India today, but it is no longer the language of daily communication. In 2001, only 14,000 people knew the language, making it the language with the fewest speakers among India’s official languages. Like Latin, Sanskrit has become a living fossil for linguistic research.
Modern Sanskrit is a phonetic script written from left to right. In the early 19th century, European scholars developed the Devanagari script into a standard typeface for mechanical printing. In the late 18th century, Sanskrit was transcribed into the Latin alphabet. Today, the most commonly used system is IAST (International Sanskrit Transliteration Alphabet).
With the development of modern computer technology, standardized Sanskrit can not only be easily input into computer systems, but also be translated into and out of multiple languages, providing convenience for the study of linguistics and religion.
In his previous life in the film and television world, Zhang Weihao only learned modern Sanskrit. So in this life, he specifically studied the ancient Sanskrit that still exists today. Instead of finding some great Confucian scholar, he went directly to Indian monks who understood Chinese or Persian and communicated with them in Chinese and Persian. This way, he could reduce mistakes and improve his proficiency while learning.
Many magical arts are written in Persian or Sanskrit, but they are not necessarily transmitted from there. Many of them were deliberately written in these languages by some masters here. The creator of the Six Ren Divine Dice is an example of this.
This can be seen from some writing habits and grammar. No wonder Jiang Yuyan in the original drama was able to find some great scholars in the court to decipher it. After all that, it turned out to be “Chinese to English” translation, not “English to Chinese” translation.
“Empty Tree Burial of Flowers” is a martial arts move in “The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws”. The founder of “Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees” was afraid that it would fall into the hands of bad people, so he came up with a way to counter it. When the opponent uses “Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees”, their abdomen and back are empty. If you attack their Yuzhen acupoint, the opponent will lose their power and die.
This move is not found in the original novel “The Legendary Twins”. “Burial of Flowers with Empty Tree” is a move created in “The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws”. “Burial of Flowers with Empty Tree” is a counter to “Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees”, which can be considered a backup plan and a plot device.
“If you understand it, then translate it for me.”
“Are you sure you want to learn? Once you learn it, it means you will have a huge weakness. It also contains a way to break the trick of ‘transplanting flowers and grafting trees’.” After saying this, Zhang Weihao told Jiang Yuyan about the existence of ‘transplanting flowers and grafting trees’ and the relationship between them.
This is an open conspiracy. If you practice this absorption-based version of the “Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees” technique, you will have such a fatal flaw unless you stop using it. If you don’t learn or use it, there will be no such flaw, and this technique will naturally cease to exist.
