It was dark.
Unlike yesterday, there were not so many people who were still intoxicated in front of the stele and refused to leave for a long time. Those who stayed in front of the stele of the Book of Heaven had a relatively good level of spiritual consciousness, so they could last until now. Chen Changsheng looked around and saw two candidates from the Academy of Reaching the Stars, the senior sister from Shengnvfeng, the little girl named Ye Xiaolian, and several others who had met in the Dachao Examination but did not remember the origin of their names. Among the candidates, the most conspicuous were the three Huaiyuan scholars who were closest to the stele. In the night, their plain long gowns were very conspicuous.
With a casual glance, you can see the problem between the fields - the closer to the stele hut, the stronger the realm strength, I don't know if this is an implicit rule, or there has been a dispute.
The three Huaiyuan scholars were closest to Beilu.
Zhong Hui stood in front of the hut, watching the stele in silence, while his two classmates stared at Chen Changsheng warily. Chen Changsheng was not surprised by this. Zhong Hui was defeated by Luo Luo in the Great Court Examination, and Huo Guang was seriously injured by him, unable to continue. Huaiyuan's hostility towards the Orthodox Academy was natural.
Gou Hanshi and he felt something after reading Xun Mei's notes, so they came to view the stele by starlight, and naturally walked towards the stele hut. Footsteps moved with different emotions - if they wanted to walk to the Tianshu Monument, they would have to occupy the positions of the three people in Huaiyuan.
The two Huaiyuan scholars did not give way, looked at Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng with indifferent expressions and said, "First come, first come first."
This sounds reasonable, but there was a sneer from the crowd outside the stele: "Before you said that your brother was the first in the Great Court Examination, so you asked us to make way. At that time, why didn't you say first come, first served? Now the Dachao Examination The first and second place are coming, can you not give up?"
The two Huaiyuan scholars were furious when they heard this.
Only then did Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng realize that these things had happened in the previous venue, and they were very disapproving of the actions of the Huaiyuan scholars, so they continued to walk forward, passing by the two Huaiyuan scholars without even looking at each other, just Came to the front of the stele hut and stood behind Zhong Hui.
The two Huaiyuan scholars were even more annoyed. They wanted to say something, thinking about what the voice in the crowd said earlier, but they couldn't tell the difference at all, and they didn't even dare to do it.
Zhong Hui looked away from the stele, turned around and saluted Gou Hanshi earnestly. When he looked at Chen Changsheng standing beside Gou Hanshi, there was no respect in his eyes.
A young talent with a long reputation like him doesn't have a good impression of Chen Changsheng. Even if Chen Changsheng passed the seclusion in the imperial examination and his realm has surpassed them, they still think that Chen Changsheng is just lucky, or he was accepted by the state religion. The care of those big men.
"I haven't seen you in the past two days. Are you so confident in Jiebei? Or did you find that your luck was exhausted, so you just broke the can?"
Zhong Hui looked at him with an indifferent expression and said: "In the past years, the first place in the Great Court Examination could unlock the first Tianshu tablet in five days at the latest. You are the first place in our year. If you use it for too long, it will only embarrass us. I hope you will not let me down."
Chen Changsheng was looking at the stele under the starlight, and his mind was focused on the changes of those complicated lines. He was very puzzled when he heard this, and asked casually: "We don't know each other well, even if I can't solve this heavenly book What does the monument have to do with you, why are you disappointed again?"
Zhong Hui was stunned when he heard this, took a deep breath, and said with restraint, "It's so sharp."
Chen Changsheng didn't answer, walked directly beside him, and said, "Excuse me."
The place where Zhong Hui is standing now has the best view in front of the stele, the closest to the stele, and will not block the starlight. Hearing this, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and clenched his fists.
From everyone's point of view, Chen Changsheng's first sentence was obviously ignoring, and the second sentence was seemingly polite and tough. Even the person who made a mockery of the Huaiyuan scholar earlier thought that he was humiliating the other party. Only Gou Hanshi looked at Chen Changsheng's expression, guessed that he was not, and just wanted to ask Zhong to let him go.
He shook his head, followed Chen Changsheng and walked in front of Zhong Hui.
The gown trembled slightly in the night wind, Zhong Hui was extremely angry, and so were the other two Huaiyuan classmates. The three of them might attack Chen Changsheng at any time, but Gou Hanshi stood between them and Chen Changsheng, which made them I had to calm down, and remembered the difference between the Zuozhao Realm and the Netherworld Realm... They were no match for Gou Hanshi, in other words, they couldn't beat Chen Changsheng either.
If you can't beat it, anger will have no power. The two Huaiyuan scholars were still aggrieved, while Zhong Hui forced himself to calm down, took a few steps back, and made way for Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng. Looking at Chen Changsheng's back and stopped talking, the corners of his lips slightly raised into a sneer . ——As he said before, Chen Changsheng rarely appeared in front of the stele these two days, and in his opinion, it must be a posturing. He didn't believe that Chen Changsheng had good luck during the imperial examination in the Mausoleum of Books at all. Can you still see the flowers on this stele
…
…
The starlight fell on the Zhaoqing Monument, those complicated lines seemed to be plated with silver, and it seemed that mercury was flowing slowly inside. An indescribably vivid feeling appeared in front of Chen Changsheng's eyes. He did not mobilize his consciousness, He didn't let the true essence in the meridians move with those lines, and didn't try to comprehend any sword moves from the direction of those lines, but just watched, felt, and experienced quietly. He reconfirmed that the pictures he saw in the early morning were real, and the pictures he imagined in the courtyard in the afternoon with his spiritual consciousness were also real, and a smile gradually emerged.
"Have you got something?" Gou Hanshi asked slightly startled seeing the change in his expression.
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "I was a little hesitant because I thought it was too simple, but there are a few sentences in the notes that reminded me."
Gou Hanshi said: "You still insist on using the most primitive solution?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Or be stupid or slow, but it suits me best."
There was silence around the stele hut, and everyone was listening carefully, including Zhong Hui. Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi are recognized as two people who have thoroughly read the Daoist Canon. How could they miss their discussion on the interpretation of the Tianshu stele, but what is the note that Chen Changsheng mentioned
"What's the most primitive solution? Turning lines into numbers?" the senior sister from Shengnvfeng knew Gou Hanshi well, and asked curiously two steps forward.
Gou Hanshi glanced at Chen Changsheng.
"We thought the most primitive solution was to forget about all the true essence, spiritual consciousness and tricks. It's not about turning lines into numbers, but..." Chen Changsheng turned to look at the girl from the Saintess Peak, and explained seriously, just about to put himself I expressed my feelings and expressed my opinion, thinking that the true meaning of the heavenly scriptures should be hidden in the changes in the inscriptions, but unexpectedly...
There was a cold scolding in the night.
"Absurd!"
A middle-aged man came to the arena at some time, with an extremely indifferent expression on his face.
Zhong Hui and the other three Huaiyuan scholars saw this person, their faces showed joy, and they hurried forward to salute: "I have seen the uncle."
Chen Changsheng discovered that this middle-aged man was the stele attendant who had severely reprimanded him in the early morning, and only then did he realize that this man was actually the elder of Huaiyuan.
The middle-aged man walked up to the stele, looked at Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, and shouted sharply: "It is said that you two juniors have read Dao Cang thoroughly, but I didn't expect that you are two ignorant children who only talk nonsense!"
