Hanshan is this mountain peak, and it also specifically refers to the highest isolated peak.
Chen Changsheng raised the curtain, looked at the isolated peak in silence, and compared it with the isolated peak behind Xining Town, but he didn't know which one was higher.
The solitary peak he was familiar with was in the tomb of clouds, covering an incomparably vast area, but he never knew how high it was because it was covered by clouds.
Suddenly, he missed the old temple outside Xining Town, his teacher and senior brothers.
Before entering Cold Mountain, there is a small town, which is said to be the last place where ordinary people can settle for a long time.
I don't know if it's because of the constant presence of ascetics in Tianchi all year round, the town is not desolate, but rather lively, with more than 2,000 people living there.
Different from ordinary people in other places, the people in the small town are very aware of the matter of the stone boiling meeting. Seeing the convoy from the Li Palace and the state church cavalry, they have long avoided respectfully. They are under the care of the Tianji Pavilion And governing, but also a believer in the state religion, how dare there be any disrespect.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the convoy stopped outside the town.
After a while, Chen Changsheng heard Mao Qiuyu's voice transmission: "The people in the town heard that you are also in the motorcade and want to see you."
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled, he didn't think too much, he thought that since he wanted to see him, he would see him, he got up and was about to walk out of the car, but was stopped by Tang Thirty-Six.
"Are you planning to go out like this?" Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and asked.
Zhe Xiu looked at Chen Changsheng and shook his head.
"What's wrong with me?" Chen Changsheng looked at him. Because of the long-distance trip, he was wearing the most comfortable cotton hospital uniform. After sitting for a long time, it was inevitable that it would be a little wrinkled, but it was still very clean. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this attire.
Tang Thirty-Six took out a brand new dress and threw it over, saying: "Be more serious at this time, because they are very serious."
Chen Changsheng took the clothes and took a look, and found that it was a Taoist robe sent over by Li Gong in the spring.
The Taoist robe was made of extremely exquisite materials, cut with great care, and most importantly, it was painted with brocade patterns representing status.
He is not yet the pope, so he cannot wear the divine robe. This is a special one, representing his future status as the pope.
The king of Ling Hai refused to face him all the way, probably because he didn't want to see him wearing this Taoist robe.
Who would have thought that Chen Changsheng never wore it once.
Putting on a brand new Taoist robe, and with the help of Tang Thirty-Six, Chen Changsheng's expression became more and more serious after sorting out all the details.
Tang Thirty-Six was right, those people who were waiting to see him at this time were very serious, very serious, so he should really be serious.
"Is it okay?"
After putting on the Taoist robe, he looked at Tang Thirty-Six and Zhe Xiu and asked.
Zhexiu nodded, and Tang Thirty-Six said, "You still forgot one most important thing."
Chen Changsheng's hand fell on the hilt of the sword, and then slowly left.
A wooden staff exuding a faint sacred aura appeared in his hand.
"I'm going." He said to Tang Thirty-Six and Zhe Xiu.
Then he took the scepter and stepped out of the carriage steadily.
The world outside the small town suddenly became quiet, and the cries of young eagles sounded from the snowy ridges of the cold mountains in the distance.
Countless believers and people knelt down like a tide, and it was dark.
Hundreds of Anglican cavalry also knelt down.
Standing in front of the tide, Chen Changsheng was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a divine staff, his young face was a little nervous.
He didn't know how to handle such a situation.
He tried very hard to recall the big men he had seen: His Majesty the Pope, Su Li, and the Holy Maiden.
In the end, he thought of Xu Yourong, and his nervousness gradually faded away, turning into calm and sincere thanks.
He looked at the ordinary people who bowed to him piously, and said in a voice as calm as possible: "May the Holy Light be with you."
…
…
"Fuck, where did he learn this sentence? It's really... I can't watch him laugh now."
Tang Thirty-Six lifted the curtain a crack with his fingers, and was surprised to see the movement outside.
Zhexiu didn't get out of the car because he wasn't interested in this kind of scene.
The reason why Tang Thirty-Six didn't get off the car was because of other reasons.
In a situation like this, he would not go out even if he was killed, because once he showed up, he would kneel down and salute Chen Changsheng.
After His Majesty the Pope confirmed Chen Changsheng's status last year, Tang Thirty-Six urgently held a meeting in the Orthodox Academy. At that meeting, he made it clear that if there was really no way to bow down to Chen Changsheng outside, then Chen Changsheng would have to kneel back after returning to the Orthodox Academy.
Zhexiu knew the reason why Tang Sanshiliu didn't get out of the car, but he was a little puzzled why he didn't sneer at Chen Changsheng as usual today.
Tang Thirty-Six looked at the scene outside the car window with a very calm and satisfied expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
He was thinking about the conversation he had with Chen Changsheng on the big banyan tree of the Orthodox Education College.
Or it won't be long before he will return to Wenshui to inherit his family business and take on his own responsibilities, making the world rich but trapped in a city. But before that, he had been frivolous, worked hard, struggled, with his companions, and fulfilled his promise.
…
…
Leaving the small town, not far away is the gate of Hanshan Mountain.
Chen Changsheng was a little curious, and asked, "After passing here, is it the Tianji Pavilion?"
Tianji Pavilion is the most famous place in the world, but interestingly, few people know where it is.
With Chen Changsheng's current status and status, if he wanted to check, he would naturally be able to find out, but just like when he first entered the capital, he often showed his ignorance of the common sense of the practice world. He really wasn't very interested in these things. It is much more important than the knowledge in books.
"You idiot, if Tianji Pavilion was here, how slow it would be to change the list every time."
Without asking, the person who still dares to talk to Chen Changsheng like this, and likes to talk like this, is of course Tang Thirty-Six.
Chen Changsheng pointed to the mountain gate and said, "But the words Tianji Pavilion are written on it."
Tang Thirty-Six had had enough of his mental retardation, and said: "Wherever the Tianji Pavilion presides over anything, that place is the Tianji Pavilion. For example, if the stone boiling conference is to be held now, then this is the Tianji Pavilion. If Dongchuan holds an auction, then Dongchuan will be the Tianji Pavilion."
Chen Changsheng thought about it seriously, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
Zhexiu said beside him: "Playing mysteries."
Before the mountain gate, the Anglican cavalry stopped.
The King of Ling Hai looked at Chen Changsheng expressionlessly and said, "Don't embarrass Li Palace."
After saying this, he turned around and walked down the mountain road.
Chen Changsheng didn't understand.
Mao Qiuyu said to him: "We have sent it here, you have to walk the road below by yourself."
"Ah?" Tang Thirty-Six obviously knew this rule for the first time, and asked, "Why?"
Mao Qiuyu said: "We are going to Hanshan for five hundred miles, please do not enter unless you are, this is the rule of Tianji Pavilion."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Could it be that no one else can enter except those on the list?"
Tang Thirty-Six said: "Of course not. When my father participated in the stone boiling conference, the offerings at home have always followed."
"Don't enter unless you have one. Old Man Tianji didn't invite us to enter Hanshan Mountain, so naturally we can't enter."
When Mao Qiuyu talked about this matter, his emotions were a little complicated.
Chen Changsheng was even more puzzled, thinking that the state religion is a Taoist school in the world, no matter how powerful the Tianji Pavilion is, why should it be so contemptuous of the state religion
Tang Thirty-Six said casually, "It must be something wrong with His Majesty the Pope and Old Man Tianji."
Mao Qiuyu glanced at him, shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked down the mountain with the Orthodox cavalry.
…
…
Entering the Cold Mountain is within the control of the Tianji Pavilion, and the security is naturally in the charge of the Tianji Pavilion.
Tang Thirty-Six guessed right, there must be some unknown grievances between His Majesty the Pope and Old Man Tianji, so Old Man Tianji was very rude to the state religion and forbade Mao Qiuyu and Ling Haizhi Wang from entering Cold Mountain, The future pope has not lost his courtesy.
A steward of Tianji Pavilion had already been waiting on the mountain path with a very respectful expression.
Chen Changsheng knew this person, and it was the Star Gathering Realm artist who was in charge of recording when performing martial arts in front of the Orthodox Academy.
Today the cold mountain opened, and ascetics who came from all over the mainland were on their way into the mountain.
The three of Chen Changsheng traveled a short distance under the guidance of the steward of the Tianji Pavilion, and met several groups of practitioners.
Sure enough, the rule that no entry is allowed is aimed at the state religion, and some of these practitioners are obviously strong ones who came to support the junior disciples.
But no matter if it was a senior strong man with profound realm or a young strong man who was confident and proud, when they saw Chen Changsheng and others approaching, they hurriedly avoided them.
There are no ordinary people who can enter the cold mountain, and their eyesight is naturally extraordinary. All ascetics are unguided and walk along the mountain road by themselves. Only Chen Changsheng and three are specially guided by the senior stewards of Tianji Pavilion. Of course, they are not ordinary people.
When the three of Chen Changsheng walked past them, they were recognized by someone. Suddenly, there was a sound of inhalation and suppressed whispers on the mountain road. It was not enough to dodge this time. Xiu even knelt down on the mountain path, and made a big salute to Chen Changsheng.
When Chen Changsheng was about to do something, he suddenly saw a person in front of him.
The man had a handsome face, with a chill between his brows, and he was wearing a yellow long gown. He was the bell of Huaiyuan.
The young scholar who passed the imperial examination last year has become much calmer now, and the aura exuding from his body has also become much stronger.
The mountain road suddenly became quiet.
In the Great Court Examination last year, the stories between Chen Changsheng, the people of the Orthodox Academy and the students of Huaiyuan, and even the follow-up matters in the Tianshu Mausoleum have long been known.
The atmosphere in the venue became a little tense, no one knew what Zhong Hui would do next, and what Chen Changsheng would do next.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Hui slowly bent down and bowed to the ground.
His posture was exceptionally standard, and his manners impeccable.
