"Tanishism? "The Interpretation of the Great Rising Sutra"? Is it true that Master Yixing is a member of the Zhenyan Sect?" Fang Zhixing said in confusion. Because of his practice of Mahayan Sect, he also knows a lot about Tantric Sect. He knows that Tantric Sect is usually called the Zhenyan Sect in the Central Plains. Taking the Great Rising Sutra as the fundamental classic, Yixing has written the Interpretation of the Great Rising Sutra, and I think he is a member of the Zhenyan Sect. Fang Zhixing knows the name of Yixing, more because this person once wrote the "Dayan Li", and is a mathematician, and he doesn't know much about his Buddhist inheritance.

Jueyuan replied: "That is, the Middle Earth Tantra is taught by the three masters Shanwuwei, Vajra Wisdom and Bukong. Master Yixing first practiced Zen with Master Shenxiu's disciple Master Puji in Songshan. Later, he met Master Shanwuwei and Vajra Wisdom, and then practiced the fetal treasure and Vajra Wisdom with them, so he entered Tantra. Now the "Maharika Sutra" passed down by Middle Earth is translated by Master Shanwuwei and Master Yixing. The "Maharika Sutra Interpretation" is also the annotation of the "Maharika Sutra" by Master Yixing, also known as the "Maharika Sutra Commentary". The Middle Earth Tantra mostly follows this sutra."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhixing nodded unconsciously, but he didn't expect that his sect had such a connection with Shaolin Temple. Needless to say, Master Shenxiu was the eldest disciple of the fifth ancestor Hongren, the senior brother of the Sixth ancestor Huineng, and the founder of the Northern Zen Zen... After his death, he was once respected as the Sixth ancestor of Zen. His disciple Pu Ji was also respected as the Seventh ancestor of Zen, and he can be said to be a master of Buddhism. However, later, the Southern Zen, which was taught by the Sixth ancestor Huineng, emerged, and the Northern Zen Zen gradually disappeared. What people know about it is mostly from the "Platform Sutra". Yixing followed Pu Ji to practice Zen, and it can be said to be a person of the Northern Zen Zen. At that time, the disciple of the Sixth ancestor Huineng went north and often debated the Dharma with the descendants of the Northern Zen Zen. The reason why Yixing went from Zen to the Tantrics is probably related to internal struggles of Zen. Of course, these are mostly Fang Zhixing's guesses, and it is difficult for future generations to know exactly what they are.

The two walked and talked, and in a short while Jueyuan had found a line of works from a corner, took off the dust on it, and handed it to Fang Zhixing. Seeing this, Fang Zhixing even guessed that except Jueyuan, there were only a few people in Shaolin Temple to learn about works, or even apart from Jueyuan. I was afraid that no one knew about works from a line of works. After all, the Southern School is the mainstream now, and not to mention that the Northern School had studied Zen, it was normal that he had gone from Zen to Tantric Buddhism, and his works were not valued by Shaolin monks.

Fang Zhixing thanked Jueyuan and picked up these scriptures by himself. He studied them carefully. The best inheritances of Tantric Buddhism were all through initiation and never fell into words. It was a coincidence that Fang Zhixing obtained the Secret of the Mahamudra and did not have any fantasy about other methods of tantric practice. Therefore, he watched "Scheming Arithmetic" and "Dayan Theory" to learn a series of mathematical methods.

These two books have long been lost in the outside world, and Fang Zhixing has also seen them for the first time. Because they are mathematical classics, various algorithm rules are quite difficult to understand. Even though Fang Zhixing was very knowledgeable in mathematics, he spent a lot of effort to read them comprehensively. He thought to himself: "This "Science Arithmetic" is also extremely exquisite as a mental algorithm. But I already have the Zhoutian algorithm. This method is not very useful to me except for some content of the derivation of the Tianji." His Zhoutian algorithm is derived from the mental arithmetic, and can imagine a circular abacus with 360 axes in his mind and quickly calculate extremely complex operations. Of course, there is no need to learn other mental arithmetic methods.

However, Fang Zhixing was extremely impressed by the "Dayan Theory": "Using the seven stars to prove each other. To refer to the numbers of the Great Yan in the "Book of Changes", this master of Yixing is indeed a master of mathematics!" The Quanzhen Sect's appointment formation is the Tiangang Beidou Formation. Fang Zhixing is familiar with the seven stars of the Big Dipper. He was also very impressed when he saw a line to use the seven stars of the Big Dipper to deduce the numbers of the Big Dipper. Many of the methods also opened his eyes and instantly reminded of many changes in the Tiangang Beidou Formation.

"But these are just pure mathematical methods. Whether there are other inheritances depends on what these three numbers represent." Fang Zhixing said in his heart. He looked through it several times but did not find any abnormalities. He had to try to think about the meaning of the three numbers "five, eleven, and seventeen". If these three numbers combined with the number of Dayan, if they are useful, they should be in this "Dayan Theory".

Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing began to read the pages 5, 11 and 17 of the three volumes of "Dayan Theory", but he still found nothing. Seeing this, he was not disappointed, and tried to check the methods of columns 5, 11, 17, etc., but still couldn't read them thoroughly. After thinking for a long time, Fang Zhixing thought to himself: "Is it a way to separate words, it's a troublesome." Thinking in his mind, he had to find the pen and ink and memorize it on paper.

After missing the five words "Dayan Theory" and "One Line", the following is "Dayan Number", Fang Zhixing recorded it. After eleven words, he saw "fifty", and then recorded it again. After 17 words, he saw "it uses". After 5 words, he saw "forty nine". Fang Zhixing silently recited "The number of Dayan Number of 50, and the use of forty nine", and his sentence was quite coherent. He immediately laughed and knew that he had found the right method. Then he went backwards and continued to recite the words.

After a while, Fang Zhixing finally compiled a manuscript and recited silently: "The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty-nine. The number of heaven is twenty-five, the number of earth is thirty, and the number of heaven and earth is fifty-five. The five elements are qi, and the five elements are reduced by five, and the great nature is reduced by one, so forty-nine. The number of heaven is one, earth two, heaven three, earth four, heaven five, earth six, heaven seven, earth eight, heaven nine, earth ten. The number of heaven is five, the number of earth five, and the five positions are matched and each has a combination. The number of heaven is twenty-five, the number of earth thirty, and the number of heaven is fifty-five. This is why the change is made and the ghosts and gods are carried out."

"This is... the Book of Changes? No... it is divination!" Fang Zhixing was surprised. He studied the Book of Changes with Hao Datong and also learned some divination methods. Naturally, he knew that many of these passages were from the Book of Changes and were mostly used for divination. A line specifically hidden this passage in the "Dayan Lun" was obviously not as simple as writing the Book of Changes. Most of the ones left were divination methods.

Thinking of Yixing's death as an official in the court, Fang Zhixing said in his heart: "It seems that this is mostly the legendary Dayan divination method, and I don't know where Yixing learned it. As a large-scale deduction method, this Dayan divination method cannot be completed by one person. If Yixing enters the court with the help of the power of the court, it is probably possible." Thinking of Yixing's death young, Fang Zhixing sighed in his heart, guessing that he had done many things that he had to do to end up with such a result. (To be continued)
