I don't know how long it took, Chen Changsheng woke up and felt refreshed. He sat in his eyes and found that all the injuries left during the Great Court test had been healed, but he looked at the black stone in his palm and was silent for a long time, and his emotions were not very high.

He vaguely understood that this black stone was what he was looking for. Ji Dao Ren asked him to enter Lingyan Pavilion, and in addition to Wang Zhice's notes, black stone was the key. According to Wang Zhice, this black stone might have been handed over to him by Emperor Taizu before his death, which might have a lot to do with the secret of despairing the heavens and changing fate.

Black Stone is very important, but he still only thinks about Wang Zhice's notes.

After the spring thunder, countless storms of consciousness caused him to see countless scenes. Compared with Wang Zhice's records, he understood a lot, although he still could not draw a conclusion.

To change fate against the will of heaven means to change the position or brightness of the fate star in the night sky, thereby changing the position and role of a person in the world, and... the position is relative.

If you cannot change your position or brightness, then changing the positions and brightness of the stars in the surrounding night sky can also cause the same effect. With the same principle, if you want to change your destiny, you should first change the destiny of those people in your life. The closer those people are to you, the more their destiny changes can affect your own destiny changes.

For example, father and son.

For example, brothers.

For example, the monarch and the subject.

This fact is very cold.

Chen Changsheng could not be sure whether the pictures he saw were real past or imagination. For a whole night, his body was wet with sweat and then he woke up and felt very cold.

If those bloody and cold scenes are the truth of history, are the heroic rulers of the Great Zhou Dynasty all such cold-blooded people? Is it worth it to pay such a great price to change one's destiny against the will of heaven and change one's destiny? Then he thought, if the Holy Queen is the third person who succeeds in changing one's destiny, then what heavy price she has paid for?

Are the bloody and cruel rumors that have been circulating among the people for a long time true? Was her first son poisoned to death by the former queen or was as rumored to be suffocated by the Holy Queen's hand as the rumor said? Most of the children she gave birth to failed to live beyond six years old. Was the environment in the palace too dangerous, or was it possible that this was some kind of sacrifice? A sacrifice to the starry sky?

Chen Changsheng's body became colder and colder. He didn't want to think about it anymore because he didn't dare to think about it anymore. Facing the shadow of death, he could be calm, but at the age of fifteen, he still didn't dare to get too close to the truth of the world hidden behind the sun. He wanted to leave here.

The Lingyan Pavilion was still pitch black, and there was no light at all in the doors and windows, so the time could not be determined, but he knew very well that it was already five o'clock, and it was the time for him to get up every day.

He got up and made the bluestone wall. Lingyan Pavilion was the forbidden area of ​​the deep palace and would open it at most two or three times a year. I wonder if the gap cut by the short sword on the bluestone wall would be discovered in a short time, and he really had no intention of paying attention to this matter at this time.

According to principles, Lingyan Pavilion can completely isolate light, so it should be isolated from all sounds. However, the next moment, just like last night, a clear and distant bell came from the ground, as if a messenger rushed from a distant place to awaken the people in the Pavilion to meditate.

A breeze came with the bell, and the door of Lingyan Pavilion slowly opened. The faint morning light fell on the bluestone slabs and on the dozens of portraits on the wall. The people on the portrait made countless contributions to the Great Zhou, but now there are only a few times a year to see the sun.

Chen Changsheng walked out of Lingyan Pavilion in the morning light and the wind, walked into the bell, but his heart could not calm down. The breeze entered his arms, but it did not make him awake, but it made him even more cold.

Standing on the high platform in front of Lingyan Pavilion, he looked at the sunrise that had just poked his head out of the horizon in the distance, and then looked at Kyoto, which was gradually awakened by the morning light. Countless streets and alleys were like lines on chessboards, Luoshui and countless rivers and canals were like silk threads scattered on chessboards, countless markets and countless squares, countless houses and mansions were trapped in those grids, and countless people lived in them.

Change your own destiny by changing the fate of others? Can this be done? Even if all the streets and alleys become ruins? Even if all the houses are turned into ruins? Even if millions of people are displaced? Even if there are wars and floods? Do you still have to do this?

He remembered Wang Zhice's last sentence in his notes again - there is no fate, only choice.

Yes, there are two types of strong people in this world: one is to perfect their own destiny by changing the fate of others, and the other is to ignore their destiny at all and believe that they can control everything related to them. Even if fate proves its strength in the end, he still has to hold his head high.

Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong are the former, and Wang Zhicai is the latter. So what about him? He is still very weak now, but if he is so strong that he faces this multiple-choice question in the future, what will he make a decision?

Looking at the streets and alleys of Kyoto and countless houses under the morning light, Chen Changsheng asked himself: What kind of person should I be? Which one is more important, complete life or complete life?

The two complete and two life in this sentence are completely different meanings.

Thinking of this question, he left Lingyan Pavilion and walked down the extremely long stone steps. Until he walked to the ground of the palace, he still had no answer.

Most people in Kyoto are still sleeping, and most people in the palace have woken up. Some candidates are mentally distressed, their eyes are a little black, and they obviously have not had a good sleep. Some candidates even haven't even slept overnight because of nervousness, but most candidates have good rest.

For these young candidates from various academies and sects, the most important purpose of participating in the Grand Court Examination is to enter the top three and obtain the qualification to enter the Heavenly Book Tomb to observe the stele. Naturally, you must be prepared and must not let any situation, such as lack of spirit affects your later understanding in the Heavenly Book Tomb.

A convoy of dozens of carriages was on standby outside the palace gate. The majestic horse pedaled its hooves impatiently. The candidates stood beside the carriage and waited for departure. Looking at Chen Changsheng who was slowly walking outside the palace, some people also felt a little impatient, such as the young scholars in Huaiyuan.

The candidates noticed that Chen Changsheng's hair was a little messy, his expression was exhausted, he was sleepy, and even looked a little haggard. He knew that he must have not had a good rest in Lingyan Pavilion last night, and might not even sleep at all. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, thinking that even if he sat quietly for a night, he wouldn't have been so hard.

Tang Sanshiliu saw more things, was a little worried, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Chen Changsheng shook his head and said.

He would not tell anyone what he had experienced last night—even Tang Sanshiliu or Luoluo—he walked into a cruel historical truth. Although he was still far from discovering the secret, he had seen the door and might have even obtained the key.

Both the candidates and officials' attention is all about Chen Changsheng.

The news of Zhou Yuan's discovery has been officially announced, or more accurately, among the upper class of the court and within the sects of various academies. At the grand ceremony celebration banquet last night, Miss Mo Yu officially announced on behalf of the Holy Empress that Zhou Yuan will open in one month.

Who doesn’t want to enter Zhouyuan? Who doesn’t want to see if you have the opportunity to come into contact with the inheritance of the strongest people in the mainland? However, only practitioners in the Pure Land can enter Zhouyuan.

The Heavenly Book Tomb and the Monument to Enlightenment is the most important thing for practice, and now it has become the last chance for candidates to enter Zhouyuan. They must make a breakthrough in this month and enter Tongyou.

Under the double pressure, the candidates were naturally nervous and knew that they had to work very hard, even in the Tianshu Tomb. Thinking of this, the vision of Chen Changsheng was naturally a bit complicated.

Chen Changsheng is only fifteen years old this year. Except for Qijian, Ye Xiaolian and a few others, he is younger than most of the people who are in the Grand Champions League. But now he is like Gou Hanshi, the sky is better than snow, and he is already secluded. In other words, even if he has no progress in the Tianshu Tomb, he can easily enter Zhouyuan in a month.

At this age, he was so quiet that he even crossed the Qingyun List. If he thought about it carefully, he had even surpassed Xu Yourong to some extent. How could he not be enviable? If it weren't for Akiyama's performance being too dazzling in Zhouyuan, people would think his performance was even more shocking.

Chen Changsheng is undoubtedly the focus of the entire Kyoto, but he has no such consciousness. He sat by the car window and looked at the streets and alleys under the morning light, feeling a little silent, as if he was distracted.

Tang Sanshiliu looked at his absent-minded look and raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know what happened to you. Yes, you don't need to get luck in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum now, so you can go directly to Zhouyuan. But you have to be clear that for us practitioners, the Heavenly Book Mausoleum itself is the most important thing, more important than the Great Court Trial, more important than Zhouyuan, and more important than anything."

Chen Changsheng didn't say anything, and still looked out the window.

Tang Sanshiliu continued: "What we get in the Tianshu Mausoleum may not be able to see immediately, but how far we can go in the end depends on how much we understand in the Tianshu Mausoleum. Countless people have proved this for many years without any exceptions."

Chen Changsheng understood the meaning of Tang Sanshiliu. Of course, he knew the importance of the Heavenly Book Tomb to the Taoist practitioners. The problem is that his current mental state is very problematic.

Cultivating Taoism is of course a very important thing. If you practice to the divine hidden, you can re-continue the meridians and no longer have to worry about the shadow of death. If you practice to the realm of great freedom, you can pick the stars with your hand, you can dominate your own destiny, and you may even live forever, and you don’t need to worry about anything.

The problem is that the legendary realm of Shenyin was not necessarily touched by Zhou Zhidufu back then, let alone him? Now he has won the first place in the Grand Court Examination and has begun to come into contact with the secret of despairing the heavens and changing fate. Since he cannot practice Shenyin, what is the meaning of practicing to him? He has inexplicably slacked off to the diligent and diligent person, and even feels that life has no meaning.
