Chapter 199: Tomb Keeper
Chen Changsheng didn't know how to answer. Should he tell him that he suddenly lost all his interest in practice? After thinking about it, he said, "I have already reached the level of seclusion, so naturally I don't have to worry too much."
Tang Sanshiliu stared at him and asked, "I'm very proud?"
Chen Changsheng was slightly stunned and said, "This is really not available."
Tang Sanshiliu pointed to the forest and said, "I told you on the way that for us practitioners, the Heavenly Book Mausoleum itself is the most important thing, countless times more important than Zhouyuan. Only those who have poor eyesight and can only see a few feet in front of them will regard the viewing of the monument at the Heavenly Book Mausoleum as a condition to break through the realm and secluded. Look at the fact that people have already reached secluded, but they have not wasted any time."
Chen Changsheng followed his fingers and saw the figures flashing on the mountain road in the green forest. The sound of breaking through the air continued, and the figures of the four people in the Lishan Sword Sect were almost gone.
He turned around and looked at Tang Sanshiliu and said, "Are you still standing here?"
"I think you have some problems today, so I decided to follow you." Tang Sanshiliu said, staring into his eyes.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said seriously: "The opportunity is rare, don't waste time."
Tang Sanshiliu said: "Anyway, there is at least one month left, so don't worry."
At this moment, a voice rang behind the two of them: "You shouldn't be in a hurry."
The visitor was Su Moyu. This young priest who left the palace and the affiliation of the palace had a bad luck in this year's Grand Court exam. In the first round of the battle, he met a powerful opponent like Zhexiu. Fortunately, his score in the literary exam was very excellent. Finally, he was judged comprehensively and almost 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 brain problem today, and I want to stare at him. What are you doing?"
Su Moyu said: "There is a saying among the people that you can't eat hot tofu when you are anxious. How can the Tianshu Monument be so easy to solve? Mentality is the most important thing. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to have problems."
Tang Sanshiliu reminded: "Zhouyuan will be opened in one month, and time will not wait for anyone."
Su Moyu said calmly: "I'm not going to go to Zhouyuan."
Tang Sanshiliu's expression was slightly different, and Chen Changsheng also felt a little strange. Who could not be moved by Zhou Dufu's inheritance?
Su Moyu said: "After the grand court test, I realized that my foundation was a bit weak. It was ridiculous that the arrogant people at the time wanted to come now, so I planned to leave more time in the Tianshu Mausoleum."
Chen Changsheng asked: "How long can we stay in the Tianshu Mausoleum?"
Su Moyu said slightly: "You didn't even listen to what the Stele Master said just now?"
Chen Changsheng felt a little embarrassed and replied: "Well, I was thinking about something else before."
Tang Sanshiliu felt that his behavior was a bit embarrassing, and rushed to say, "The rules for viewing the stele of the Tianshuling Monument have never changed over the years. As long as you can come in, you can stay for as long as you can. But if you want to leave, it is not that easy to enter the Tianshuling again later."
Chen Changsheng looked at Su Moyu and asked, "Did you decide to give up Zhouyuan for the sake of Tianshuling?"
Su Moyu said: "Although Zhouyuan is not my hometown."
The sound of birds flapping their wings in the verdant forests sounded from time to time.
Tang Sanshiliu said: "It's obvious that the other guys don't think so."
"How can Zhouyuan be compared with the Tianshuling? Even if there is really Zhou Dufu's inheritance there, it cannot be more important than these stone tablets in the mountains. The former is a shortcut, and the latter is the right way."
Su Moyu looked at the silent Qingqiu and said with emotion.
Chen Changsheng was silent and said nothing.
Tang Sanshiliu laughed and said, "Where are so many specious truths? The straight line between the two points is closest, so the most correct way is itself the fastest way."
The right way is the shortcut? Chen Changsheng and Su Moyu were slightly stunned when they heard this, and found that they could not refute it.
"You can." Chen Changsheng looked at him and exclaimed.
"I can't tell you, I'll leave first." Su Moyu shook his head and walked towards the Tianshu Tomb with his hands behind his back.
"I'm very worried about Su Moyu's future." Tang Sanshiliu looked at the back of the young priest who was about to disappear into the green forest, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "There were many examples in the past, including now many people are trapped in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum and cannot leave. I hope he won't."
Chen Changsheng was a little surprised and asked, "Trailed in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum?"
"From unwilling to leave to the end, those who dared not leave at all, watched the stele in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum for decades. What is the difference between them and prisoners?"
Tang Sanshiliu said: "Those people are reluctant to leave the prosperous world outside, are unwilling to swear to become attendants of the stele, and are willing to give up the understanding and creation brought by the stele of Heavenly Books and Stones. Leaving or staying, are all great temptations. In the face of these temptations, how to choose and when to make a choice is itself a test for everyone by the stele of Heavenly Books and Tombs."
Chen Changsheng said: "I don't think this choice is too difficult."
"That's because we haven't seen the heavenly book yet."
Tang Sanshiliu looked at him and said, "Of course, even if you see it, I believe you have the ability to clearly realize what you want most. Just like Gou Hanshi, he must have thought about it in advance. If you can't even get through this pass, how can you continue to move forward on the road of cultivation?"
Chen Changsheng suddenly thought of something and asked: "If you can keep watching in the Tianshu Tomb, then, is there any food to eat?"
Hearing this, Tang Sanshiliu was speechless, thinking that you were not the foodie Xuanyuan, so he said angrily: "Of course there is food to eat. If you see death, you can eat until you die."
Chen Changsheng felt 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, pointing to the hill full of green trees and said, "There is only one road in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, and the stone tablets are next to the road. Only after reading the next floor can you go to the previous floor."
Chen Changsheng asked: "How many floors are there in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum?"
This question is his always confused. Logically speaking, there are many descriptions of the Heavenly Book Tomb in the three thousand volumes of the Daozang, but he has never seen how many layers there are in the Heavenly Book Tomb.
"I don't know... Well, to be precise, no one knows how many floors there are in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum." Tang Sanshiliu said.
Chen Changsheng was puzzled when he heard this and said, "As far as I know, although it is extremely difficult to reach the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, there are still some people who have done it before. How could they not know the number of layers.
Tang Sanshiliu said: "The old man once told me that on the day I really entered the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, I could know why there were no layers in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum."
"Why?" Chen Changsheng was still puzzled.
Tang Sanshiliu stared at his eyes and said in a deep voice: "First, I am not a stele attendant, second, I am not a tour guide, so don't ask me so much why? Anyway, you only need to know that those steles can only be seen one by one. In the end, how many steles you can understand depends on your own understanding."
Chen Changsheng could feel his mood was a little bad. He wanted to control himself and stop asking questions, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity and said tentatively: "The last question?"
Tang Sanshiliu took a deep breath and said, "Say."
Chen Changsheng said: "According to the Taoist scriptures, when worshiping heaven, the Holy Queen Mother and the Pope will climb to the top of the Heavenly Book from the legendary Shinto, which is the path you mentioned?"
"No." Tang Sanshiliu said: "Shidao is another way."
"But you said that there is only one way to Tianshuling."
"That is for those who have entered the Tianshu Mausoleum to realize the truth."
"If you want to reach the top, which road is closer? I think it should be Shinto."
"The Shinto is the right way in the southern foot, not a shortcut to climb the tomb. You are not the one who is afraid of difficulties and dangers. You should be very clear that there is no shortcut to the mountain of books, so you can only climb hard to climb
"But you said to Su Moyu that the right way is the shortcut."
Tang Sanshiliu was silent for a long time and said, "First of all, that's me quarrel with him. Secondly, no matter whether it is the right path or the shortcut, you can't go directly to the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum from that road. You don't have to ask me why, I will tell you directly, because there are guards on that Shinto, and no one has ever been able to force the mausoleum from there."
"Don't be angry." Chen Changsheng felt a little embarrassed and reached out to pat his shoulder.
Tang Sanshiliu stared into his eyes and said, "This is the second time, don't have the third time."
Chen Changsheng knew that his emotions were on the verge of an outbreak at this time, and thought not to bother him, and said, "I'll go and have a walk around."
At this time, the young candidates who entered the third grade of the Great Dynasty had already entered the Tianshu Tomb, and their figures disappeared in the green forest, and only the two of them were still outside.
Tang Sanshiliu's tone was slightly higher and he asked, "You really want to go and have a casual walk?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said for granted: "The scenery in the cemetery is good, I want to walk around and take a look."
Tang Sanshiliu looked at him like an idiot, thinking that after going through a lot of hardships, everyone successfully entered the Grand Court to test the Third Class and got the opportunity to enter the Tianshu Tomb to see the monument. You don’t want to go to those stone tablets to study quietly, but you just want to see the scenery casually? Do you really think you are a tourist? Tourists can’t enter Tianshu Tomb
Ignoring Tang Sanshiliu's surprise and annoyed, Chen Changsheng left him where he was and started walking around the Tianshu Mausoleum. The Tianshu Mausoleum in early spring was green and charming. The garden under the tomb was full of flowers and trees, and the scenery was really good. He stopped and walked around, watching everywhere with his hands in his arms, and he looked like a tourist from the countryside.
Because of the lush green trees, it is difficult for people outside the Tianshu Mausoleum to see the pictures in the mausoleum, but people on the mausoleum can clearly see the outside. Many of the candidates walking on the mountain road noticed his existence and found that he did not climb the mausoleum, but was visiting outside. He was shocked.
It was natural for everyone to be shocked, and the emotions they arose were different. Some candidates felt that he pretended to be calm, which was really shameless, such as the scholars in Huaiyuan and the junior sister named Ye Xiaolian on the Saint Peak. Some people felt that with his current state and the level he showed in the Great Court exam, it was too unloved to enter the Tianshuling, and they were so unloved. For example, Guan Feibai and Liangbanhu thought so. Gou Hanshi took the clear water handed over by Qijian and drank it. Looking at Chen Changsheng sitting on the rock by the pool at the foot of the mountain, he had a different idea than most people.
He felt that Chen Changsheng had some problems today, which should be a mental problem, but he couldn't understand why this happened. It was only a few days before the Great Dynasty trial. In his opinion, Chen Changsheng's will was firm and even a little scary, and he shouldn't have changed too much in just a few days.
The Tianshu Mausoleum is a green mountain with a large area. It is not easy to walk along the road below the mausoleum, especially when you stop and walk like Chen Changsheng, stop and stop looking at the flowers and trees, and go dazed at the pond. You will think about the things you have and don’t have. It took you two hours to arrive in Lingnan.
Chen Changsheng was looking at the patterns made of five-color stones on the road. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a booming water coming from the air. He subconsciously looked up and saw a silver waterfall pouring out from somewhere in the green cliff, turning into a white silk, falling between the cliffs dozens of feet high, scattered and overflowing, turning into dozens of smaller water lines, walking among the rugged rocks, and finally falling to the ground.
Looking at this beautiful scene, his first reaction was that the Nan Cliff of Tianshuling was really steep, without too many trees, and he could not see a stone tablet? Then his eyes moved downward along dozens of flowing water, and saw an extremely wide black stone plaque in front of the road, a shallow canal made by hand in the floor, and the clear water flowing down from Tianshuling, flowing forward along those canals.
He walked along the canal and saw that the water in the canal was extremely clear, and the white stones at the bottom of the canal shone like pearls. Soon, he came to the south of the Tianshu Mausoleum. The sound of the waterfall gradually faded, and the canals on the stone plaza became more dense. He couldn't help but think, if you look down from the top of the Tianshu Mausoleum, what kind of pattern would these shallow canals form?
Then, he saw the legendary Shinto.
It was a straight road, leading directly from Shiping to the top of the Book of Heaven. As Tang Sanliu said, if you want to climb to the Book of Heaven, this Shinto is the closest road. However, this Shinto is forbidden to pass by anyone. Only during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven can the Holy Grace and the Pope walk on it.
There is nothing on the Shinto, there are not even trees on both sides, only cliffs.
Anyone who thinks about the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum at the end of this divine path will probably have a strong desire to walk up.
But no one has succeeded.
Because at the beginning of the Shinto, among countless shallow canals and clear water, there is a pavilion.
There was a man sitting in the pavilion.
The man was wearing a worn-out armor, with rust everywhere on his breastplate, covering his whole body, and from his head and face to his hands, none of them was exposed.
The man held a broken sword in his hand, with many gaps on the edge of the sword, and the sword was pressed against the ground.
Looking from a distance, this man in full armor was 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 person.
This man has been sitting in this pavilion for hundreds of years.
Many people are saying that if I hadn't sat in front of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum for hundreds of years, this person might have already entered the storm of all directions.
Because hundreds of years ago, he was already the number one god general on the continent.
