Fighter of the Destiny

After Zhong Hui successfully untied the stele, he left without a trace, leaving only Ju, who had taken one step ahead, and Chen Changsheng, who was standing on the mountain path. In people's eyes, Chen Changsheng seemed a little lonely at this time, although he did not feel this way himself. People looked at him and sneered, thinking that the stone tablet in Tianshu Mausoleum was indeed fair, and no one could be lucky forever.

This was not enough for some people, and they wanted to sprinkle salt on Chen Changsheng's wounds. The scholar from Sophora Academy in front of the monument looked at him and said with a sneer: "Senior brother said it indifferently before leaving, but in my opinion, it was a little bit... Being too self-effacing, even though you just took one step first, the difference between you and me is more than a thousand miles away."

This sentence was mocking Chen Changsheng, but it also brought Gou Hanshi to the point where Guan Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to have an attack, but unexpectedly he still didn't overtake Tang Sanliu. He looked at the scholar from Huaiyuan and said mockingly: "Can't you take the first step? Where is he going? To reincarnate? He's in such a hurry."

The scholar from Huaiyuan was furious when he heard this, and Ji Jin's face instantly became gloomy. His fingers were slightly stiff and he almost pulled off a beard.

Mr. Nian Guang and several other stele attendants walked out of the crowd, looked at Tang Sanliu and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be rude! If you do this again, no one can protect you."

Tang Sanshiliu looked at him and sneered: "I told you last night that I can't fight, so what can you do to me?"

Mr. Nianguang said solemnly: "We, the monument attendants, have the responsibility to maintain the order of viewing the monument. If you continue to act recklessly, I will send a letter to the academy and ask the state religion to expel you from the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book!"

Tang Thirty-Six looked at him as if he were an idiot, pointed at Chen Changsheng beside him and said: "What a bunch of old guys who are confused when looking at monuments. Do you know who he is? Above the palace, in front of everyone, the Pope holds the hand Pass his hands! Earlier, countless people in Kyoto suspected that he was the illegitimate son of the bishop! Bring it to the state church? The palace will listen to you, I will cut off his head and give it to you!"

Mr. Nian Guang was furious when he heard this and shouted: "If Li Gong is really so protective of his shortcomings, I will ask the academy to find out the truth!"

Tang Thirty-Six was also angry and shouted loudly: "Your college? You should ask the bishops who gives one-third of the annual money to the ancestral temple! How can you live in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books and wait for death for so many years? It’s all thanks to my family’s support! You don’t protect Chen Changsheng according to the instructions of the state religion, you don’t protect me according to the interests of the ancestral temple, but you want to stand up for the southerners, and you come to scare me, where does this make sense!”

Mr. Nian Guang was shaking with anger, pointing at him and wanting to scold him, but in the end he waved his sleeves angrily and left.

There was silence all around Beilu. Both the newcomers who entered the mausoleum this year and the old people who entered the mausoleum in previous years looked at Tang Sanliu blankly, wondering who this person was.

Because Zhong Hui was the first to undo the stele, Tang Sanliu was in a very bad mood. He looked at everyone and shouted, "What are you looking at! I've never seen such a rich person!"

…

…

"The Wenshui Tang family...are they really that rich?"

The three of them, Guan Feibai, looked at each other speechlessly. They were all born in the bitter cold, and their training years in the Lishan Sword Sect were extremely difficult. Even though Qi Jian was a beloved disciple of Guan Guan who was raised by the master since childhood, he had never lived up to the standards of Jin Yi Yu. Living a life of food, it is really hard to imagine that such a person exists in the world. When it comes to money, the teenagers from Lishan are really ignorant.

"Speaking of which, Tang Tang is so rich and always very arrogant, why is he not particularly annoying?" Qi Jian asked with some confusion.

Guan Feibai recalled that when he was in the Li Palace, the girls from the Thirteenth Division of Qingzhen and the Saintess Peak looked at Tang Sanliu so enthusiastically, or maybe it was the truth, but they couldn't say it in front of their junior brother.

At this time, a young man came over to them. Guan Feibai and the other three saluted him, with smiles on their faces. They were obviously familiar with him, especially Liang Banhu, who was usually very dull and dull, but he actually took the initiative to greet him. He went and patted the young man on the shoulder, appearing very affectionate.

Gou Hanshi introduced Chen Changsheng: "This is my third junior brother, Liang Xiaoxiao."

Only then did Chen Changsheng realize that this young man turned out to be Liang Xiaoxiao, the third of the seven laws of the Kingdom of God. Liang Xiaoxiao has always been ranked third in the Qingyun Ranking. It was not until this year's temporary ranking change that he was pushed to fourth. Chen Changsheng knew his name because he was the first to rank first in the imperial examination last year. Thinking that this person was standing in the crowd before and no one noticed him at all, he felt more and more that what Ji Jin and Zhong Hui said last night made sense. In a place like Tianshu Mausoleum where so many heroes gathered, it was indeed unspeakable to be the first in the imperial examination. special.

When Liang Xiaoxiao met Chen Changsheng, his expression was indifferent and he didn't seem to like talking much.

Then he looked at Gou Hanshi and said, "Senior brother, I entered samadhi in front of the Dongting Monument two days ago, so I didn't have time to look for you."

Gou Hanshi said: "Of course the practice of observing the monument is important. Now that we have come to the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, there will always be time to meet."

Chen Changsheng remembered that Gou Hanshi had said yesterday that he would introduce someone to him, and now that he thought about it, it should be this young man.

Qi Jian heard the words "Dongting Monument" in the audience and said in surprise: "Dongting Monument, that is the sixth monument. Third Brother, you are really amazing."

Liang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly. Although there was a word for smile in his name, there was no smile at all on his face, and he seemed to be even colder and arrogant than Guan Feibai.

Gou Hanshi looked at him and smiled and said, "Since we have seen the Dongting Monument, the breakthrough must not have happened recently."

Liang Xiaoxiao said respectfully to Gou Hanshi: "I was in seclusion half a year ago, and then made no progress. I was very ashamed, so I didn't send a letter back."

Liang Banhu smiled honestly and said: "Okay, okay."

Gou Hanshi said to Chen Changsheng: "The third junior brother and the fifth junior brother are brothers."

Tang Sanliu's eyes flickered back and forth between Liang Xiaoxiao and Liang Banhu's faces several times, and asked in confusion: "How come the fifth child is older than the third child?"

Liang Xiaoxiao turned his head when he heard this and gave him a cold look.

Tang Thirty-Six stared back.

Qijian said: "Third senior brother, this is the kind of person he is, just ignore him."

Liang Xiaoxiao really ignored Tang Sanliu and turned around.

Zhexiu glanced at Qijian with a strange expression.

Sensing his gaze, Qi Jian quickly hid behind Liang Banhu as if he was stung by a scorpion.

After Gou Hanshi explained a few words, Chen Changsheng realized that it turned out that Wulu Liang Banhu was his elder brother, and Liang Xiaoxiao, who was ranked higher, was the youngest brother in the family. Then he remembered what Liang Xiaoxiao said before about breaking through six months ago, and then he realized that this person had actually entered the underworld. So, when he leaves the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, he will leave the Qingyun List and enter the Midas List? "

"Please tell your highness Luoluo, I will not do it if you are ranked fourth on the Qingyun Ranking."

Liang Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Changsheng with an indifferent expression and said. Then, without waiting for Chen Changsheng to react or Tang Sanliu to speak, he turned to look at Gou Hanshi and said seriously: "Senior brother, although we and Huaiyuan are both from the south, Lishan is Lishan after all. How can we fall here?" Queen?"

Gou Hanshi said: "I have my own score. Just watch the monument quietly. You only have one month to leave the tomb, so cherish your time."

Liang Xiaoxiao said no more.

Just as he said, although the ranking list on the stone tablet in front of the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books has long been destroyed by Zhou Tong, the Holy Queen's sect, there is no way that such things as competition or glory can be forcibly erased from people's hearts. , the speed of enlightenment by observing the monuments and the number of heavenly book monuments finally interpreted, there is still an invisible list in people's hearts.

This year, there was no peerless genius who solved the Zhaoqing Monument on the first day, and no one could successfully solve it on the second day. However, Zhong Hui successfully solved the monument on the early morning of the third day, which is already quite good. At this time, those who entered the Heavenly Book in previous years Viewers of the monument at the mausoleum already know the identities of Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi, and know that they are the first and second place winners in this year's imperial examination. Moreover, the discussion outside the mausoleum has already spread here. The two men are very famous for reading through the Taoist canon. , is naturally extremely eye-catching. The two of them have not been able to unlock the first Heavenly Book Monument at this time, which inevitably attracted some discussion.

"After Wang Zhice, these two people dared to claim to have read the Dao Zang thoroughly. I didn't expect that today they were compared to a Huaiyuan scholar."

"Every rumor is untrue, and the idea of ​​reading the Taoist canon and accessing the secluded world at a young age seems to be a bit exaggerated at this time."

The spectators went to their own monuments to meditate, and Liang Xiaoxiao had also left. The crowd in front of the Zhaoqing monument gradually dispersed, and the mountains and forests gradually became quiet. Chen Changsheng walked to the Monument House, looked at the black stone monument, was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Why did he disappear? Is there a small world behind the Heavenly Book Monument?"

Tang Thirty-Six and others watched him looking at the monument without saying a word, thinking that he was thinking about something important, but unexpectedly he was actually thinking about this problem, and they couldn't help but be speechless.

Gou Hanshi said: "It is said that the Heavenly Book Monument is a fragment of a certain small world. Now it is scattered in the real world, and the space has been annihilated. However, these fragments can be connected with each other. It can also be understood that every monument is a door, but This door cannot lead to other places, it can only lead to other doors, that is, other heavenly book monuments, and the order between the monuments will never change."

Chen Changsheng said: "I see. No wonder people say that there is only one road to the Tomb of the Book of Heaven, but how can the Monument of the Book of Heaven determine whether the key in the hand of the viewer is correct?"

There is no record in the Taoist Canon of how to go from one Heavenly Book Monument to the next. Those sages who once observed the monuments and enlightened the Tao did not mention these details when recording the days in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, because in the eyes of the ascetics, these are just Common sense, no need to talk about it at all.

Chen Changsheng knows countless obscure knowledge in the Three Thousand Taoist Canon, but his common sense about the world and cultivation is somewhat lacking because he is self-taught.

Gou Hanshi said: "The Heavenly Book cannot be deciphered. There are many magical or difficult-to-understand aspects of the Heavenly Book Stele itself. How to judge whether the interpretation of the inscription is correct can never be judged by the monks themselves, nor by observers or bystanders. , can only be judged by the Heavenly Book Monument itself."

"Judge for yourself?" Chen Changsheng was confused and repeated.

Gou Hanshi said: "If the observer comes into contact with the Heavenly Book Monument, if the Heavenly Book Monument feels that you understand it, then you really understand it."

Chen Changsheng remembered the famous description of the way of heaven in Daozang: Mysteries are mysterious, and they are the door to all wonders.

If the Heavenly Book Monument were a door, what kind of wonderful world would be behind the door?

Seeing him looking thoughtful in front of the monument, Tang Sanliu and others continued to be speechless.

Zhong Hui has already solved the first Heavenly Book Monument, but he is still interested in these side details. Isn't he anxious?

"Ah!" Chen Changsheng suddenly remembered something and said, "I have to go back quickly."

Tang Sanshiliu asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"

Chen Changsheng was a little anxious and said: "You dragged me out in a hurry. I even forgot that there was still water on the stove. What should I do if it's going to dry up?"
