Chapter 282: Asakusa has no stone marks
What is inside the Yellow Crane Tower? This question Su Wen asked Lu Sanjiao more than once, but Lu Sanjiao kept avoiding answering.
It's not that he's trying to hide it, it's because he really doesn't know how to answer.
Every time the Holy Tower is opened, the scenery is always different.
When Lu Sanjiao entered, what he saw was a desert, and the time five years ago, the first thing people who entered the Yellow Crane Tower saw was the vast ocean.
But what Su Wen saw now was the grassland.
The door behind him has disappeared, replaced by a vast expanse of green grass, swaying gently in the wind.
Su Wen did not move rashly, but stood in place, waiting for something with bated breath.
After about a stick of incense, Su Wen finally couldn't help but flash a trace of doubt in his eyes, because from the time he entered the Yellow Crane Tower to the present, he hadn't seen anyone.
Whether it was Ouyang Ke who was walking in front of him, or Gojo and the others who were following him, they did not appear.
"Is it true that everyone is tested differently, or are they actually in the grassland, just teleported to different locations?"
Su Wenmo held the link between his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not activate it, but took a step, randomly chose a direction, and walked forward.
"Hiss......"
As soon as he took a step, Su Wen immediately felt a tingling sensation coming from his body, looked down, and was shocked to find that his clothes had been torn several small cuts, if it weren't for his strong body, I am afraid that it would be more than just clothes.
Rao is so. On Su Wen's legs, there have been several shallow white marks, which look like they have been stabbed by a sharp blade.
However. Where is there any sharp blade where Su Wen walked?
He was in the middle of the grassland, so naturally there were only blades of grass around him.
Su Wen immediately pulled a piece of green grass from the ground and brought it to his eyes, only to see that on the back of these seemingly ordinary blades of grass, there were sharp and thin filaments. If you go in the opposite direction of the blade of grass, you will be injured by its sharpness.
So it seems, this steppe. It's not easy!
With Su Wen's strong body now, he was naturally not afraid of these sharp grasses that only reached his knees, but he did not continue to move forward, but turned around without hesitation. Walk in the direction of the blades of grass.
Since this grassland has shown him a direction. Then maybe if you go in this direction, you will be able to know what the test of the first floor of the Yellow Crane Tower is.
If, according to Lu Sanjiao, the first nine floors of the Yellow Crane Tower correspond to the nine literary positions of each literati, then this grassland should be related to Su Wen's poetry.
However, what kind of connection can there be between the grassland and poetry?
Su Wen couldn't figure it out, so he could only wait and see.
The clumps of grass and blades covered the surface of Su Wen's feet. Almost without knees, Su Wen walked alone during the period. Only the sound of swishing could be heard, and the whole grassland was quietly palpitating.
There was no wind, no voice, not even insects and birds.
Suddenly, Su Wen's footsteps stopped, and he saw a black stone deep in the grass not far away.
The stones in the grassland were originally a common thing, but this was the first color that Su Wen saw in the thousands of greens after entering the Yellow Crane Tower.
So naturally, he walked over and looked down at the plain stone.
The stone is very ordinary, but I don't know how many years of erosion, the surface is uneven, and the road is sharp, I don't know if it is scraped out by the blades of grass.
Su Wen looked at it for a while and found that there was really nothing special about this black stone, so he stood up again and returned to the established route.
However, a moment later, he saw a second, almost identical black stone.
This grassland is large, and there are very few references around, but it is not so disorienting that Su Wen is not disoriented, so he knows very well that he is not back to where he is.
What's more, although the second black stone was also covered with grass marks, with Su Wen's memory, he was able to easily distinguish the subtle differences.
"What's the point of these stones?"
Su Wen muttered, not knowing what he meant, so he had to give up thinking and move on.
On the way afterward, he saw the third, fourth, and fifth blackstones......
Each stone is about the same size, dark throughout, mottled and covered with various notches, but they are all the same, making it difficult to grasp the meaning of its existence.
Su Wen silently wrote down the fine marks on the seventh black stone, and without staying for too long, he continued to walk forward.
"Each stone is not the same distance apart, and I follow the leaf of the blade, so they are not arranged in a straight line, what does that mean?"
Su Wen's brows became tighter and tighter, but in the next moment, his mood suddenly brightened.
It's not because he solved the mystery of the black stone, and it's not because he figured out the relationship between the grassland and poetry, but because he finally saw a big living person besides himself.
It turned out that Su Wen was not alone in this grassland.
"Su Wen?"
The man also discovered Su Wen's cunzài, his face was suddenly full of surprise, and his perennially cold eyes couldn't help but show a bright smile.
"Mu Xi!"
Su Wen didn't expect that he would be able to meet Mu Xi here, which was undoubtedly great news for him.
Although Lu Sanjiao had told them in advance that they would not encounter any danger in the Yellow Crane Tower, even if the students fought and fought with each other, they would not hurt each other's lives, otherwise they would be expelled from the Yellow Crane Tower.
But being able to meet his companions in this strange and strange grassland undoubtedly made Su Wen's heart feel a little reassured.
What's more critical is that the coincidence between the two allowed them to discover a secret of this grassland in advance.
Su Wen walked quickly to Mu Xi's side, but found that the surprise in the other party's eyes turned into doubt.
"What's wrong?"
"I originally thought that this grassland was about the test of the piano path. ”
Su Wen was stunned.
Because before that, he also regarded this place as a test of poetry.
Could it be that he had been thinking wrong all along? Or was Lu Sanjiao's news about them wrong?
But if this grassland is about the way of the qin, it seems to make sense, because Su Wen himself also has a qin position, but this speculation was completely broken after they met the third person.
Because they met a young girl from Jinguo.
"Qin Dao, how can it be, my Wen Haizhong didn't open the piano position!" The girl named Zixin immediately objected after listening to Su Wen and Mu Xi's analysis.
As we all know, although Xizhi, the sage of Jinguoshu, entered the holy realm a hundred years ago and rarely appears in the world, Jinguo still follows the book as a national road, so the main text opened by Zixin is also a book.
What made Su Wen quite embarrassed was that he didn't know if this girl called Zixin was so arrogant by nature, or if she really trusted herself and Mu Xi, or if she held her identity as the imperial book and would not be threatened by them, in short, in order to show that she was not lying, Zixin even showed her four major literary positions one by one at the moment.
They are books, paintings, flowers, and articles.
It is true that there are no piano positions.
And Mu Xi seems to be in order to show his sincerity, and he also disclosed his three major positions of piano, drum, and flute.
Even if Su Wen concealed the fact that he was in the same place, they had already discovered that at least in the two positions of Zixin and Mu Xi, there was no common point!
"What's going on? Isn't it said that the first four floors of the Yellow Crane Tower are testing the relevant texts of each of us?" Zi Xin wrinkled her nose, her big eyes full of curiosity.
What Zixin said was not a secret, it was not different from Lu Sanjiao's instructions to Su Wen and Mu Xi before, in fact, all the literati students who entered the Yellow Crane Tower could more or less get the same information from their own teachers.
Su Wen believed that it was absolutely impossible for Lu Sanjiao to deceive him, so there was only one possibility, in this grassland, there were still some secrets that they did not know.
The way to ask the Tao, in addition to relying on cultivation, also depends on enlightenment.
Perhaps unlocking the secrets of this grassland is a part of enlightenment, and it is also the key to the second floor of the Yellow Crane Tower.
After figuring out this verse, the three of them walked hand in hand, however, on the following journey, they never met any other literati students, except for the endless green grass, only scattered and inexplicable black stones.
Not to mention demon beasts, even ordinary beasts have not seen it.
For Suvin, this is good news as well as bad news.
The good news is that he didn't meet the people of Yan Guo, or Ouyang Ke and others who have deep grievances, otherwise a literary war is inevitable, and the bad news shows that the vastness of this grassland is beyond everyone's imagination.
It was getting dark, and the three of them came to a black stone to sit around and rest, and the first day of entering the Yellow Crane Tower seemed to be over in this meaningless walk, and Zixin's face also showed some impatience and loss.
But at least the richness of the talent of heaven and earth here is staggering, and everyone has traveled all the way, even if they haven't done anything, they can clearly feel the slow growth of Wenhai's talent, which can be regarded as a happy event that is better than nothing.
"What should I do tomorrow? Do you just go aimlessly?"
Zixin asked a most crucial question.
However, no one could answer this question, and even Su Wen felt a little dazed in his heart.
On the contrary, Mu Xi suddenly looked at the black stone in front of him a little distracted, his fingers gently flicked on the surface of the black stone, just like a bare dulcimer, and the expression on his face looked solemn and holy.
At this moment, an incomparably bright crimson light fell from a hundred miles away, illuminating the entire grassland, like a blood moon descending from the sky, and also attracting the attention of Su Wen and Zixin.
Immediately after, a majestic voice sounded in the grassland night sky.
"Tianlan Kingdom, Ouyang Ke, enter the second floor!" (to be continued......)
