Fighter of the Destiny

Chen Changsheng didn't know how to answer. Should he tell him that he suddenly lost all interest in practice? After thinking for a while, he said: "I have already entered the secluded world, so there is no need to be too anxious."

Tang Sanliu stared at him and asked, "Very proud?"

Chen Changsheng was slightly startled and said, "This really doesn't exist."

Tang Sanshiliu pointed to the forest and said: "I told you on the way that for us ascetics, the Tomb of Heavenly Books itself is the most important thing, countless times more important than the Zhou Garden. Only those with poor eyesight can only Only those who can see the ground a few feet in front of them will regard observing the monuments and asking questions at the Tomb of Heavenly Books as a condition for breaking into the secluded realm. You see, Gou Hanshi has already entered the secluded realm, and he didn't waste any time."

Chen Changsheng followed his hand and saw figures flashing on the mountain path in Qinglin. The sound of piercing the sky continued, and the four figures of the Lishan Sword Sect were almost disappearing.

He turned around and looked at Tang Sanliu and said, "Aren't you still standing here?"

"I think you have some problems today, so I decided to follow you." Tang Sanliu said, staring into his eyes.

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said seriously: "This opportunity is rare, don't waste time."

Tang Sanshiliu said: "Anyway, there's still at least a month, so don't be in a hurry."

At this moment, a voice sounded behind the two of them: "You really shouldn't be in a hurry."

The person coming is Su Moyu. This young priest from the Ligong Affiliated Hospital had really bad luck in this year's imperial examination. He met a formidable opponent like Zhexiu in the first round. Fortunately, his results in the literary examination were very good, and in the final comprehensive evaluation , and narrowly entered the ranks of the top three.

Looking at him, Tang Sanshiliu asked in confusion: "Chen Changsheng is not in a hurry because he has a mental problem today, and I want to keep an eye on him. Why are you doing this?"

Su Moyu said: "There is a common saying among the people that you can't eat hot tofu if you are anxious. Why is the Heavenly Book Monument so easy to understand? Mentality is the most important thing. The more anxious you are, the more likely it is to cause problems."

Tang Sanshiliu reminded: "Zhou Garden will be opened in a month, time will not wait for anyone."

Su Moyu said calmly: "I'm not going to Zhou Garden."

Tang Sanshiliu's expression was slightly strange, and Chen Changsheng also felt a little strange. Who could not be tempted by Zhou Du|husband's inheritance?

Su Moyu said: "After the imperial examination, I realized that my foundation was a bit weak. The arrogance I had at the time was ridiculous now, so I planned to stay in the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book for more time."

Chen Changsheng asked: "Can we stay in the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book for as long as we like?"

Su Moyu said slightly: "Didn't you listen to what the tablet attendant said just now?"

Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed and responded: "Well, I was thinking about other things earlier."

Tang Sanliu felt that his behavior was a bit embarrassing, and rushed to say: "The rules of observing the monuments in the Tianshu Mausoleum have never changed over the years. As long as you can come in, you can stay as long as you like, but if you want to leave and want to come back again later, Entering the Tomb of Heavenly Books is not that simple."

Chen Changsheng looked at Su Moyu and asked, "Have you decided to give up Zhou Garden for the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book?"

Su Moyu said: "Although Zhouyuan is nice, it is not my hometown."

The sound of frightened birds flapping their wings can be heard from time to time in the green mountain forest.

Tang Sanshiliu said: "Obviously, the other guys don't think so."

"How can the Zhou Garden be compared with the Tomb of Heaven's Book? Even if there really is the inheritance of Zhou Du|Fu there, it cannot be more important than these stone tablets in the mountains. The former is a shortcut, while the latter is the right way."

Su Moyu looked at the silent Qingqiu and said with emotion.

Chen Changsheng remained silent and did not speak.

Tang Thirty-Six laughed and said: "Where do so many specious truths come from? The straight line between two points is the shortest, so the most correct path is itself the fastest way."

Is the right path the shortcut? Chen Changsheng and Su Moyu were slightly startled when they heard this, and found that they could not refute.

"You can do it." Chen Changsheng looked at him and praised.

"I can't help you, so I'm leaving first." Su Moyu shook his head and walked towards the Tomb of Heaven's Book with his hands behind his back.

"I'm very worried about Su Moyu's future." Tang Sanliu looked at the back of the young priest who was disappearing in the green forest, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "There have been many examples in the past, and there are still many people now. Trapped in the Tomb of Heavenly Books, unable to leave, I hope he won’t.”

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised and asked: "Trapped in the Tomb of Heavenly Books?"

"From being unwilling to leave to finally not daring to leave at all, those people have been sitting in the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven looking at the monuments for decades. How are they any different from prisoners?"

Tang Thirty-Six said: "Those people are unwilling to let go of the prosperous world outside, are unwilling to swear a blood oath to become the attendants of the monument, and are unwilling to give up the enlightenment and creation brought by the Heavenly Book and the stone monument. Leaving or staying is a great temptation. Faced with these Temptation, how to choose, and when to make a choice are themselves a test for everyone in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books."

Chen Changsheng said: "I don't think this choice is that difficult."

"That's because we haven't seen the Book of Heaven yet."

Tang Sanliu looked at him and said: "Of course, even if you see it, I believe you will be able to clearly realize what you want most. Just like Gou Hanshi, he must have thought about it in advance. If you can't even pass this pass If you can’t get through it, how can you continue to move forward on the path of road construction?”

Chen Changsheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "If I can keep reading in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, will there be food to eat?"

Hearing this, Tang Sanliu was a little speechless, thinking that you are not the foodie like Xuanyuan, so he said angrily: "Of course there is food to eat. If you want to see you die, you can eat until you die."

Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't be angry, I just think this matter is more important."

Tang Sanshiliu was too lazy to pay attention to him, and pointed to the hill full of green trees and said: "There is only one road in the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven, and those stone tablets are all beside the road. Only after you have seen the next floor can you go to the upper floor."

Chen Changsheng asked: "How many floors does the Tomb of Heavenly Books have?"

This question has always puzzled him. Logically speaking, there are many descriptions of the Tomb of Heaven's Book in the three thousand volumes of Dao Zang, but he has never seen how many floors the Tomb of Heaven's Book has.

"I don't know...well, to be precise, no one knows how many floors the Tomb of Heavenly Books has." Tang Sanliu said.

Chen Changsheng was very puzzled when he heard this and said: "As far as I know, although it is extremely difficult to climb to the top of the Tomb of Heavenly Books, some people have done it before. How come they don't know the number of floors?"

Tang Thirty-Six said: "The old man once told me that the day I actually enter the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book, I will know why there are no layers in the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book."

"Why?" Chen Changsheng was still puzzled.

Tang Sanliu stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "First, I am not a tablet attendant, and second, I am not a tour guide, so can you please stop asking me so many questions? Anyway, you just need to know that those stone tablets are only How many monuments you can understand one by one depends on your own understanding."

Chen Changsheng could feel that he was in a bad mood. He wanted to control himself and not ask any more questions, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked tentatively: "One last question?"

Tang Thirty-Six took a deep breath and said, "Tell me."

Chen Changsheng said: "According to the Taoist scriptures, when offering sacrifices to heaven, the Holy Queen and the Pope will climb to the top of the Tomb of the Book of Heaven from the legendary Shinto. Is that the road you mentioned?"

"No." Tang Sanliu said: "The Shinto is another path."

"But you just said that there is only one way to the Tianshu Mausoleum."

"That's for those who enter the Tomb of Heavenly Books and look at the stele to gain enlightenment."

"If you want to climb to the top, which way is closer? I think it should be the Shinto way."

"The Shinto is the right path at the southern foot of the mountain, not a shortcut to climb the mausoleum. You are not one of those people who are afraid of difficulties and dangers. You should be very clear that there are no shortcuts to the mountain of books. You can only climb hard."

"But you just told Su Moyu that the right path is the shortcut."

Tang Sanliu was silent for a long time and said: "First of all, that was me quarreling with him. Secondly, no matter whether it is the right way or a shortcut, you can't go directly to the top of the Tomb of the Book of Heaven from that way. You don't need to ask me. Why, I'll tell you directly, because there are people guarding that sacred road, and no one has ever been able to climb to the tomb by force from there."

"Don't be angry." Chen Changsheng felt a little embarrassed and reached out to pat his shoulder.

Tang Sanliu stared into his eyes and said, "This is the second time, don't let there be a third time."

Chen Changsheng knew that his emotions were on the verge of breaking out at this time, so he thought it was better not to bother him any more and said, "I'll just go for a walk."

At this time, all the young candidates who entered the top three of the Great Imperial Examination had entered the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books and disappeared into the green forest. Only the two of them remained outside.

Tang Sanliu asked in a slightly higher tone, "Do you really want to go for a stroll?"

Chen Changsheng nodded and said matter-of-factly: "The scenery in the cemetery is nice. I want to walk around and have a look."

Tang Thirty-Six looked at him as if he were an idiot, thinking that after all the hard work, everyone had successfully entered the top three of the Great Dynasty Examination, and had the opportunity to enter the Tomb of the Book of Heaven and observe the monuments to enlightenment. You don't want to go to those stone monuments to meditate and study. You just want to take a look at the scenery? Do you really consider yourself a tourist? Tourists cannot enter the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books!

Ignoring Tang Sanshiliu's surprise and annoyance, Chen Changsheng left him where he was and started walking around the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven. In the early spring, the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven was green and pleasant. There were many flowers and trees in the garden under the mausoleum, and the scenery was indeed beautiful. He stopped there. Stopping and walking, looking around with your hands behind your back, you really look like a tourist coming to the countryside.

Because of the cover of the lush green trees, it is difficult for people outside the Tianshu Mausoleum to see clearly what is inside the mausoleum, but people on the mausoleum can clearly see outside. Many of the candidates walking on the mountain path noticed his presence. I was shocked to find that he did not visit the mausoleum but was out sightseeing.

Chen Changsheng did not visit the mausoleum. It was natural for everyone to be shocked, and the emotions that followed were different. Some candidates think that he is pretending to be indifferent, which is really shameful to the extreme, such as the scholar in Huaiyuan and the little junior sister named Ye Xiaolian from Saint Girl's Peak. The level shown in the imperial examination, even though Ming Shu Ling was ahead of him, was not enough, it was too unloving. For example, Guan Feibai and Liang Banhu both thought so. Gou Hanshi took a sip of the water handed over by Qi Jian and looked at it. Chen Changsheng, who was sitting down the mountain on a stone by the pool in a daze, had a different idea than most people.

He felt that there was something wrong with Chen Changsheng today, probably on a mental level, but he couldn't figure out why it was like this. It was only a few days before the big test. In his opinion, Chen Changsheng's perseverance was even a bit scary. Why? Nor should there be too many changes in just a few days.

…

…

Tianshu Mausoleum is a green mountain with a large area. It is not very easy to walk completely along the road under the mausoleum, especially when people like Chen Changsheng stop and walk, looking at the flowers and trees, and then stop and look. I walked in a daze while looking at the pond, thinking about all kinds of things as I walked. It took me two hours of walking before I arrived at Lingnan.

Chen Changsheng was looking at the patterns made of five-color stones on the road. Suddenly he heard the sound of roaring water coming from the air. He subconsciously looked up and saw a silver waterfall pouring from somewhere on the green mountain cliff. When it came out, it turned into a line of white water, fell between the cliffs dozens of feet high, spread out in all directions, turned into dozens of smaller water lines, passed through the rugged rocks, and finally fell to the ground.

Looking at this beautiful scene, his first reaction was that the southern cliff of Tianshu Mausoleum was really steep. There were not many trees, and there was no stone tablet in sight. Then his eyes moved downward along the dozens of streams of water, and he saw an extremely wide black stone flat in front of the road. There was a shallow canal dug by hand between the flats. The clear water flowing down from the Tianshu Mausoleum was flowing along the Follow those channels to flow forward.

As he walked along the canal, he saw that the water in the canal was extremely clear, and the white stones at the bottom of the canal shone like pearls. Not long after, he came to the south of Tianshu Mausoleum. The sound of the waterfall gradually faded away, and the water channels on the stone flat became more dense. He couldn't help but think that if he looked down from the top of Tianshu Mausoleum, these shallow channels would form a What kind of pattern is it?

Then, he saw the legendary Shinto.

It was a straight road, leading directly from Shiping to the top of Tianshu Mausoleum. As Tang Thirty-Six said, if you want to climb to the Tomb of Heavenly Books, this Shinto is the shortest way. However, no one is allowed to pass through this Shinto. The Holy Queen and the Pope can only walk on it during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

There is nothing on the Shinto, not even trees on either side, only cliffs.

Anyone who thinks about the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum at the end of this sacred path will probably have a strong desire to walk up there.

But no one has ever succeeded.

Because at the beginning of the Shinto, between countless shallow channels and clear water, there is a pavilion.

There is a person sitting in the pavilion.

The man was wearing a worn-out armor, with rust stains everywhere on the breastplate. The armor covered his whole body, from his head to his hands, with no part exposed.

The man held an old sword in his hand. There were many gaps on the blade and the sword was pressed against the ground.

Looking from a distance, this man in armor looks like a statue.

Sometimes, it even makes people wonder whether there is anyone in the armor.

But Chen Changsheng knew that it was a person.

The whole continent knows this man.

This man has been sitting in this pavilion for hundreds of years.

Many people are saying that if he hadn't been sitting in front of the Tomb of Heavenly Books for hundreds of years, this person might have already entered the wind and rain in all directions.

Because hundreds of years ago, he was already the number one divine general in the continent.

He is the guardian of the Tianshu Mausoleum of this generation, making history.
