Chapter 201: The Tomb Keeper
Chen Changsheng didn't know how to answer, did he want to sue him that he had suddenly lost all interest in cultivation? After thinking about it, he said, "I have already passed through the seclusion, so naturally I don't need to be too anxious. â
Tang Thirty-six stared at him and asked, "Very proud?"
Chen Changsheng was slightly stunned and said, "This is really nothing. â
Tang Thirty-six pointed to the forest and said: "I told you on the way, for us cultivators, the Tianshu Tomb itself is the most important thing, countless times more important than Zhou Yuan, only those guys who have poor eyesight and can only see a few feet in front of them will regard the observation of the stele in the Tianshu Tomb as a condition for breaking through the realm and passing through the secluded, you see that the people have already passed the seclusion, but they have not wasted any time." â
Chen Changsheng followed his fingers and saw the figures on the mountain road in the green forest flickering, the sound of breaking the sky continued, and the figures of the four people from the Mountain Sword Sect were about to disappear.
He turned to look at Tang Thirty-six and said, "Aren't you still standing here?"
"I felt you had some problems today, so I decided to follow you. Tang Thirty-six stared into his eyes and said.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said seriously: "The opportunity is rare, don't delay time." â
Tang Thirty-six said: "Anyway, there is at least one month left, don't worry." â
At this moment, a voice sounded behind the two: "You really shouldn't be in a hurry. â
The person who came was Su Moyu. This young priest from the palace attached to the hospital, his luck in this year's imperial examination was really bad, and he met a strong opponent such as folding his sleeves in the first round of the battle, but fortunately, his literary examination results were very good, and in the end, he was judged comprehensively, and narrowly entered the ranks of the top three.
Looking at him, Tang Thirty-six asked puzzledly, "Chen Changsheng is not in a hurry because he has a problem with his brain today, and I want to stare at him, why are you doing this?"
Su Moyu said: "There is a saying among the people, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, where is the Tianshu Tablet so easy to solve, mentality is the most important thing, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to have problems." â
Tang Thirty-six reminded: "Zhou Yuan will be opened in a month, and time will not wait for anyone." â
Su Moyu said calmly: "I'm not going to go to Zhou Yuan. â
Tang Thirty-six's expression was slightly different, and Chen Changsheng also felt a little strange, who could not be tempted by Zhou Du's inheritance?
Su Moyu said: "After the Great Dynasty Examination, I realized that my foundation was a little weak, and those arrogances at the beginning were ridiculous now, so I was ready to stay in the Heavenly Book Tomb for more time." â
Chen Changsheng asked, "How long can we stay in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum?"
Su Moyu said slightly: "You didn't listen to what the tablet servant said just now?"
Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed, and responded, "Well, I was thinking about something else before. â
Tang Thirty-six felt that he was a little embarrassed by such an appearance, and hurriedly said: "The rules of the Heavenly Book Tomb have never changed over the years, as long as you can come in, you can stay as long as you want, but if you want to leave, it is not so simple to enter the Heavenly Book Tomb again after that." â
Chen Changsheng looked at Su Moyu and asked, "Have you decided to give up Zhou Yuan for the Heavenly Book Tomb?"
Su Moyu said: "Although Zhou Yuan is not my hometown. â
From time to time, the sound of frightened birds flapping their wings can be heard in the verdant mountain forest.
Tang Thirty-six said: "Obviously, those other guys don't think so. â
"How can Zhou Yuan be compared with the Tianshu Mausoleum? Even if there is really the inheritance of Zhou Dufu 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. â
Su Moyu looked at the silent Qingqiu and said with emotion.
Chen Changsheng was silent and did not speak.
Tang Thirty-six sneered and said, "Where do you get so many specious truths? The straight line between the two points is the closest, so the most righteous path is the fastest way in itself." â
The right path is a shortcut? Chen Changsheng and Su Moyu were slightly stunned when they heard this, and found that they couldn't refute it.
"You can. Chen Changsheng looked at him and exclaimed.
"I can't tell you, I'll go first. Su Moyu shook his head and walked towards the Heavenly Book Tomb with his hands behind his back.
"I'm worried about Su Moyu's future. Tang Thirty-six looked at the back of the young priest who was about to disappear into the green forest, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "There have been many examples before, including now, there are still many people who are trapped in the Heavenly Book Tomb and can't leave, I hope he won't." â
Chen Changsheng was a little taken aback and asked, "Trapped in the Heavenly Book Tomb?"
"From being reluctant to leave to not daring to leave at all in the end, those people are watching the monument in the Tianshu Mausoleum, sitting for decades, what is the difference between them and prisoners?"
Tang Thirty-six said: "Those people are reluctant to the prosperous world outside, unwilling to swear blood to become a stele servant, and willing to be inspired by the Heavenly Book Stele, leaving, or staying, are all great temptations, in the face of these temptations, how to choose, when to make a choice, itself is the test of Tianshuling for everyone." â
Chen Changsheng said: "I don't think this choice is so difficult. â
"That's because we haven't seen the Book of Heaven yet. â
Tang Thirty-six 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 pass this pass, how can you be qualified to continue on the road of cultivation." â
Chen Changsheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "If you can keep watching it in the Heavenly Book Tomb, then, do you have anything to eat?"
Hearing this, Tang Thirty-six was a little speechless, thinking that you were not the foodie of Xuanyuan, so he said angrily: "Of course there is food to eat, if you see death, you can eat until death." â
Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't be angry, I just think this matter is more important." â
Tang Thirty-six didn't bother to pay attention to him, pointed to the hill full of green trees and said: "There is only one road in the Heavenly Book Tomb, and those stone tablets are all beside the road, after reading the next layer, you can only go to see the previous layer." â
Chen Changsheng asked, "How many floors does the Heavenly Book Mausoleum have?"
This question has been puzzled by him for a long time, logically speaking, there are many descriptions of the Tianshu Tomb in the three thousand volumes of the Daozang, but he has never seen how many layers the Tianshu Tomb has.
"I don't know...... Well, to be precise, no one knows how many floors there are in the Heavenly Book Tomb. Tang Thirty-six said.
Chen Changsheng was very 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 Tomb, there are still some people who have done it, how can they not know the number of layers?"
Tang Thirty-six said: "The old lady once said to me that the day I really enter the Tianshu Mausoleum, I will be able to know why the Tianshu Mausoleum has no layers. â
"Why?" Chen Changsheng was still puzzled.
Tang Thirty-six stared at his eyes and said in a deep voice: "First, I'm not a stele attendant, and second, I'm not a tour guide, so can you not ask me so many whys? Anyway, you just need to know that those steles can only be looked at one by one, and how many steles you can understand in the end depends on your own understanding." â
Chen Changsheng could feel that his mood was a little bad, and he wanted to stop asking questions, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity, and said tentatively, "The last question?"
Tang Thirty-six took a deep breath and said, "Say." â
Chen Changsheng said: "According to the Taoist scriptures, when worshipping the heavens, the Holy Queen Niangniang and the Pope will ascend from the legendary Shinto to the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, which is the road you said?"
"It's not. Tang Thirty-six said, "Shinto is another way. â
"But you just said that there is only one way to the Heavenly Book Tomb. â
"That's for those who enter the Heavenly Book Mausoleum to observe the monument and enlighten the Tao. â
"If you want to get to the top, which path is closer? I think it's Shinto. â
"Shinto is the right path in the south, not a shortcut to the mausoleum, you are not the kind of person who is afraid of difficulties and dangers, you should know very well that there is no shortcut to Shushan, you can only work hard to climb. â
"But you just told Su Moyu that the right path is a shortcut. â
Tang Thirty-six was silent for a long time and said: "First of all, that's me arguing with him, and secondly, whether it's the right path or a shortcut, anyway, you can't go directly to the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum from that road, you don't need to ask me why, I'll sue you directly, because there are people guarding that divine path, and no one has ever been able to forcibly ascend the tomb from there." â
"Don't be angry. Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Tang Thirty-six stared into his eyes and said, "This is the second time, don't have a third time." â
Chen Changsheng knew that his love was on the verge of breaking out at this time, so he thought that he should not continue to bother him, and said, "I'll go shopping casually." â
At this time, the young candidates who had entered the top three in the Great Dynasty Examination had already entered the Tianshu Mausoleum, and their figures disappeared into the green forest, and only the two of them remained outside.
Tang Thirty-Six's tone was slightly high, and he asked, "Do you really want to go shopping casually?"
Chen Changsheng nodded, and said as a matter of course: "The scenery in the cemetery is good, I want to take a walk around." â
Tang Thirty-six looked at him like an idiot, thinking that after all the hardships, everyone successfully entered the top three in the Great Dynasty and got the opportunity to enter the Tianshu Mausoleum to view the monument and realize the Tao, you don't want to go to those steles to meditate and study, you just want to just look at the scenery? Do you really think you are a tourist? Tourists can't enter the Tianshu Mausoleum!
Ignoring how Tang Thirty-six was surprised and annoyed, Chen Changsheng left him in place and started to walk around the Tianshu Mausoleum, the Tianshu Mausoleum in early spring was green and gratifying, the garden under the mausoleum was full of flowers and trees, and the scenery was really good, he stopped and walked in between, looking around with his hands on his back, really like a tourist from the countryside.
Because of the cover of the lush green trees, it is difficult for the people outside the Tianshu Mausoleum to see the picture in the mausoleum clearly, but the people on the mausoleum can clearly see the outside, those candidates walking on the mountain road, many people noticed his storage zĂ i, and found that he did not climb the mausoleum, but toured outside, and couldn't help but be shocked.
Chen Changsheng actually did not go to the mausoleum, and it was natural for everyone to be shocked, and the feelings that followed were different. Some candidates feel that he is pretending to be indifferent, which is really shameful to the extreme, such as the scholar of Huaiyuan and the little junior sister named Ye Xiaolian of the Holy Maiden Peak, and some people feel that with his current realm and the level of the appearance in the Great Dynasty Examination, he will not enter the Shuling Tomb tomorrow tomorrow, which is too self-loving, such as Guan Feibai and Liang Banhu both thought so, Gou Hanshi took the water handed over by Qijian and took a sip, looking at Chen Changsheng who was sitting on the poolside stone in a daze at the foot of the mountain, but he had a different idea from most people.
He felt that there was something wrong with Chen Changsheng today, it should be something wrong with the spiritual level, but he couldn't understand why this was happening, it was only a few days before the Great Dynasty tried to fight, in his opinion, Chen Changsheng's will was even a little terrifying, how could it not change too much in just a few days.
......
......
Tianshu Mausoleum is a green mountain, the area is very large, want to walk along the road under the mausoleum completely, it is not a very easy thing, especially like Chen Changsheng to stop and walk, look at the flowers and trees to stop, look at the pond and go in a daze, all the way to think about those things that there are not, but also walked for two hours, before coming to Lingnan.
Chen Changsheng was looking at the patterns made of those five-colored stones on the road, and suddenly heard the sound of roaring water coming from the air, he subconsciously looked up, only to see a silver waterfall, pouring out from somewhere in the cliff wall of the green mountain, turning into a white practice, falling between the cliffs dozens of zhang high, scattering and overflowing, turning into dozens of thinner water lines, passing through the craggy mountains and rocks, and finally falling to the ground.
Looking at this beautiful scene, his first reaction was that the south cliff of Tianshuling was really steep, there were not too many trees, how could he not see a stone tablet? Then his eyes followed the dozens of flowing waters, moving downward, only to see that there was an extremely wide black stone flat in front of the road, and there were shallow canals dug by hand between the flats, and the clear water flowing down the Tianshuling Tomb flowed down those canals in front of them.
As he walked along the canal, he saw that the water in the canal was extremely clear, and the white stones at the bottom of the canal shone like pearls. After a short time, he came to the south of the Tianshu Mausoleum, the sound of the waterfall faded, and the water channels on the stone flat were even denser, and he couldn't help but think about what kind of pattern these shallow canals would form if he looked down from the top of the Tianshu Tomb.
Then, he saw the legendary Shinto.
It was a straight road, leading directly from the stone flat to the top of the Tianshu Mausoleum. As Tang Thirty-six said, if you want to ascend the Heavenly Book Tomb, this Shinto path is the closest path. However, this Shinto path is forbidden to anyone, and only during the festival of worship to the heavens, the Holy Queen and His Holiness the Pope can walk on it.
There is nothing on the Shinto, not even trees on the sides, only cliffs.
Anyone who thinks about the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum at the end of this Shinto path will probably have a strong desire to go up.
But no one ever succeeded.
Because at the beginning of Shinto, between the countless shallow canals and clear water, there is a gazebo.
There was a man sitting in the pavilion.
The man was dressed in a shabby suit of armor with rust all over his breastplate, which covered his entire body, from his head and face to his hands, and nothing was exposed.
The man held a worn-out sword in his hand, with many notches in the blade and the sword against the ground.
From a distance, this man in full armor looks like a statue.
Sometimes, it even makes people wonder if there is anyone in the armor.
But Chen Changsheng knew that it was a person.
The whole continent knows about this man.
This man has been sitting in this gazebo for hundreds of years.
Many people are saying that if it weren't for sitting in front of the Heavenly Book Tomb for hundreds of years, this person might have already entered the eight directions.
Because hundreds of years ago, he was already the number one god general in the mainland.
He is the mausoleum keeper of the Tianshuling generation, Khan Qing.
