After Zhong Hui successfully unscrambled the stele, he left without a trace, leaving only Ju to go first and Chen Changsheng standing on the mountain road. In people's eyes, Chen Changsheng's figure at this time seemed a bit lonely, although he himself did not feel this way. People looked at him and thought with a slight mockery that the stele in Tianshu Mausoleum is indeed fair, no one can be lucky forever.
Some people are not enough like this, and they want to sprinkle salt on Chen Changsheng's wounds. The scholar of Huaiyuan in front of the stele looked at him, and said with a sneer: "The words that senior brother said before he left are indifferent, but in my opinion, they are a bit serious. Being too self-effacing, even though you have only taken one step ahead, how far is the difference between this one step and the past?"
This sentence was mocking Chen Changsheng, but it also brought to Gou Hanshi, Guan Feibai raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to explode, but he still didn't snatch Tang Thirty-Six. He looked at the Huaiyuan scholar and said mockingly: "Can't you just take a step first? Where is he going? To reincarnate? So anxious."
The Huaiyuan scholar was furious when he heard the words, and Ji Jin's face instantly became gloomy, his fingers were slightly stiff, and he almost tore off a beard.
Mr. Nian Guang and several other stele attendants came out of the crowd, looked at Tang Thirty-Six and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop being rude! If you continue like this, no one will be able to protect you."
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and sneered, "I said last night that you can't beat me, what can you do to me?"
Mr. Nian Guang said solemnly: "I wait for the stele attendant, and I have the responsibility to maintain the order of viewing the stele. If you continue to mess around, I will pass the scriptures to the Academy and ask the state religion to expel you from the Tianshu Mausoleum!"
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him like an idiot, pointed to Chen Changsheng beside him and said, "It's really a group of old guys who are confused by the monument. Do you know who he is? Passed him! Countless people in Kyoto suspected him to be the illegitimate son of the bishop earlier! Ask the state religion? Li Gong will listen to you, and I will cut off his head for you!"
Mr. Nian Guang was furious when he heard the words, and shouted: "If Li Gong really protects his shortcomings like this, I will definitely ask the academy to find out the truth!"
Tang Thirty-Six was also angry, and shouted loudly: "Your college? You should ask those bishops, who gave one-third of the annual money for the ancestral temple! You can eat and die in the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books for so many years, It all depends on being supported by my family! You don’t protect Chen Changsheng according to the orders of the state religion, and you don’t protect me according to the interests of the Zongsi Institute, but you want to stand up for the people in the south and even come to scare me, what is the reason for this!"
Mr. Nian Guang trembled with anger, pointed at him and wanted to reprimand him, but in the end he flicked his sleeves angrily and left.
The area around the stele hut was quiet, whether it was the newcomers who entered the mausoleum this year or the old ones who entered the mausoleum in previous years, they all looked at Tang Thirty-Six in a daze, wondering who this person was.
Because Zhong Hui took the lead in untying the stele, Tang Sanshiliu was in an extremely bad mood, looked at the crowd and shouted: "What are you looking at! I've never seen such a rich man!"
…
…
"The Wenshui Tang family... is it really so rich?"
Guan Feibai and the three looked at each other without saying a word. They were all born in bitter cold, and the years of practicing Lishan Sword Sect were extremely harsh. It is really hard to imagine that such a person really exists in the world. When it comes to money, the teenagers in Lishan are really ignorant.
"Speaking of which, Tang Tang is so rich and has always been very arrogant, why isn't he particularly annoying?" Qi Jian asked a little puzzled.
Guan Feibai recalled that back then in Li Palace, the girls from the Thirteenth Division of Qingyu and the girls from Shengnvfeng looked at Tang Sanshiliu so enthusiastically, or maybe it was true, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of the younger brother.
At this time, a young man came towards them. Guan Feibai and the three of them saluted before, with smiles on their faces, obviously familiar with each other, especially Liang Banhu, who was very dull and dull on weekdays, unexpectedly took the initiative to greet him Go, and patted the boy on the shoulder, looking very affectionate.
Gou Hanshi introduced to Chen Changsheng: "This is my third junior brother, Liang Xiaoxiao."
It was only then that Chen Changsheng realized that this young man was Liang Xiaoxiao, the third law of the Seven Laws of the Kingdom of God. Liang Xiaoxiao has always been ranked third in the Qingyun list, until this year when the list was temporarily changed, he was squeezed to fourth place, and Chen Changsheng knew his name because he was the first in the imperial examination last year. Thinking of this person standing in the crowd before, no one noticed him at all, he felt more and more that what Ji Jin and Zhong Hui said last night made sense. special.
Liang Xiaoxiao greeted Chen Changsheng with an indifferent expression, as if he didn't like talking very much.
Then he looked at Gou Hanshi and said, "Senior Brother, I entered meditation in front of the Dongting Monument two days ago, so I didn't have time to find you."
Gou Hanshi said: "Of course it is important to observe the stele and cultivate. Since we have come to Tianshu Mausoleum, we will meet each other sometime."
Chen Changsheng remembered that Gou Hanshi said yesterday that he would introduce someone to him, now that he thinks about it, it should be this boy.
Qi Jian was surprised when he heard the words "Dongting Monument" and said, "Dongting Monument, that's the sixth monument. Third senior brother, you are really amazing."
Liang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, although his name contained the word "laugh", but there was not even a hint of a smile on his face, he seemed a little more arrogant than Guan Feibai.
Gou Hanshi looked at him and said with a smile, "Since we have seen the Dongting Monument, it must not be a recent incident."
Liang Xiaoxiao said respectfully to Gou Hanshi: "I was ashamed to pass the secret half a year ago, but there was no further progress, so I didn't send the letter back."
Liang Banhu smiled honestly and said: "It's okay, it's okay."
Gou Hanshi said to Chen Changsheng: "The third junior brother and the fifth junior brother are brothers."
Tang Thirty-Six's eyes flicked back and forth between Liang Xiaoxiao and Liang Banhu's faces several times, and he asked in puzzlement, "Why is the fifth child older than the third child?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaoxiao turned her head and gave him a cold look.
Tang Thirty-Six stared back.
Qijian said: "Senior Brother Third, he is just such a person, just ignore him."
Liang Xiaoxiao really ignored Tang Thirty-Six and turned around.
Zhexiu glanced at Qijian, his eyes were a little strange.
Sensing his gaze, Qijian quickly hid behind Liang Banhu as if stung by a scorpion.
After Gou Hanshi explained a few sentences, Chen Changsheng realized that Wulu Liang Banhu was the elder brother, and Liang Xiaoxiao, who was ranked higher, was the younger brother in the family. Then he remembered what Liang Xiaoxiao said earlier that he had broken the realm half a year ago, so he realized that this person had already passed through the secluded world. In this way, when he leaves the Tianshu Mausoleum, he will leave the Qingyun list and enter the golden list
"Please tell His Royal Highness Luoluo that I am fourth on the Qingyun list, and I will not do it."
Liang Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Changsheng and said indifferently. Then, without waiting for Chen Changsheng to react, and without waiting for Tang Thirty-Six to speak, he turned to look at Gou Hanshi seriously and said, "Senior brother, although we and Huaiyuan are from the south, Lishan is Lishan after all, how can we fall in the Empress?"
Gou Hanshi said: "I have my own points, you just watch the stele quietly, you only have one month to leave the mausoleum, you should cherish the time."
Liang Xiaoxiao said no more.
As he said, although the leaderboard on the stone tablet in front of the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books has long been destroyed by Zhou Tong sent by the Holy Empress, it is impossible for such things as being competitive or honoring to be forcibly erased from people's hearts. There is still an invisible list in people's minds about the speed of enlightenment by observing the stele and the number of finally interpreting the stele of heavenly scriptures.
This year, there is no peerless genius who can unlock the Zhaoqing monument on the first day, and no one can successfully unlock the monument on the second day, but Zhong Hui can successfully unlock the monument on the third morning, which is already quite good. The observers of the mausoleum already know the identities of Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi, and know that they are the first and second placers in this year's imperial examination, and the rumors outside the mausoleum have already spread here, and the two of them have a great reputation for reading Taoism. , Naturally, it attracted a lot of attention. The two of them hadn't been able to unravel the first Tianshu tablet at this time, which inevitably attracted some discussions.
"After Wang Zhice, these two are the ones who dare to say that they have read Daozang thoroughly. I didn't expect to be compared by a Huaiyuan scholar today."
"The rumors are often untrue, such as reading Dao Zang through, and being young, it seems that it is a bit exaggerated."
The stele viewers went to their respective steles for enlightenment, Liang Xiaoxiao had already left, the crowd gradually dispersed in front of the stele hut, and the forest became quieter. Chen Changsheng walked up to the stele, looked at the black stone stele, was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Why did he disappear? Could it be that there is a small world behind the stele of the Book of Heaven?"
Tang Sanshiliu and the others saw him looking at the stele without saying a word, thinking that he was thinking about something important, but they couldn't help but be speechless because he was thinking about this problem.
Gou Hanshi said: "It is said that the Tianshu stele is a fragment of a small world. Now it is scattered in the real world. The space has been annihilated, but these fragments can communicate with each other. It can also be understood that a stele is a door, but This door can't lead to other places, it can only lead to other doors, which are other heavenly book tablets, and the order between the tablets will never change."
Chen Changsheng said: "So that's the case. No wonder people say that there is only one way to the Tianshu Mausoleum, but how can the Tianshu Monument judge that the key in the hands of the viewer is correct?"
There is no record in Daozang of how to get from one stele to the next, and the former sages who once observed the stele and enlightened the Tao did not mention these details when they recorded the days in the Mausoleum of Tianshu, because in the eyes of the ascetics, these are all Common sense, there is no need to tell.
Chen Changsheng knew countless out-of-the-way knowledge in the Three Thousand Daos, but he lacked some common sense about the world and cultivation, because he was self-taught.
Gou Hanshi said: "The Heavenly Book cannot be deciphered. The Tianshu Stele itself has many magical or incomprehensible features. How to judge whether the interpretation of the inscription is correct or not is something that can never be judged by the ascetic. , can only be judged by the Tianshu Monument."
"Judge yourself?" Chen Changsheng was puzzled and repeated.
Gou Hanshi said: "When the stele viewer comes into contact with the Tianshu stele, if the Tianshu stele thinks you understand it, then you really understand it."
Chen Changsheng recalled the famous description about the Dao of Heaven in Taoist Canon: the mystery is the mystery, the door of all wonders.
If the Tianshu Monument were a door, what kind of wonderful world would there be behind the door
Seeing him looking thoughtful in front of the stele, Tang Sanshiliu and the others remained speechless.
Zhong Hui has already unlocked the first Tianshu stele, but he is still interested in these side details. Isn't he in a hurry
"Ah!" Chen Changsheng suddenly remembered something, and said, "I have to go back quickly."
Tang Thirty-Six asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
Chen Changsheng was a little anxious, and said, "You dragged me out in such a hurry, I forgot that there was still water boiling on the stove, what should I do if it's about to boil dry?"
