Chapter 19: The Star Tower

There are nine floors in the Sky Star Tower, and the first floor is filled with some famous inscriptions. Therefore, as soon as you enter the Tianxing Tower, it is like entering a stone forest, and there are stone monuments everywhere, which makes people feel like standing in the wilderness and returning to nature. Of course, if it's coming at night, that's another story.

At the door of the Star Tower, there is a sign.

It is written that there are three ways to ascend the Celestial Star Tower.

One from top to bottom, two is the opposite, from top to bottom, three can be three five, then two four six seven eight nine, or directly two four six seven eight, then three or five.

As for why this is the case, Wu Ling can see something.

The first type of registration is the registration method of the vast majority of people. But ordinary people always feel that the better ones are behind, so they are in a hurry to go upstairs, unable to concentrate on the first to eighth floors, and in the end, they don't see anything.

Because of this, the ninth floor of the Heavenly Star Tower has nothing, just an empty floor, giving people a distant look. It is to remind the people who go upstairs not to see the end and end up empty.

The second method is to solve the problem of the first method.

If you start looking down from the eighth floor, you will realize that there is not much to see, and you will cherish the moment.

The third is because the third floor and the fifth floor are all stored in the works of the celebrities of the martial arts and the spirit cards of the heroes, and the two four, six, seven and eight are the major celebrities in Kyushu.

Man!

I always have a strong heart, and I always feel that the person I approve is the most powerful, and I also hope that the person I approve can be recognized by more people.

The ancients have long said that "there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts." But there is no martial arts, and the world's battle for the first place is still endless.

Even if it's the current sword list and the sword master list.

There are first and second on the list, but when the world discusses who is the first, there are still many different opinions and arguments about who is the first.

Wuling was as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights and saw food, and walked into the stele forest with ecstasy.

Although there are many steles in the building, they are scattered.

The biggest advantage of inscriptions compared to writing on books is that they are relatively easy to preserve and can be preserved for a longer period of time. Because of this, there are many famous masterpieces in the stele forest.

After some leisurely looking, Wuling found an old man with a rickety figure and sloppy clothes lying on a stone tablet, snoring and falling asleep.

Without being introduced, Wu Ling could also guess that the old man was the guardian of the first floor of the Tianxing Tower.

In order to avoid the destruction of the work, the stars have a guardian on each layer.

These Guardians are people who have been famous in the past. Or because of frustration in the temple, or see through the red dust, or eat with a mouthful of food, so he came to this Tianxing Tower to be a guardian.

In their opinion, in today's world, only the sages and ancient heroes can understand themselves.

Wu Ling had heard some of the stories of the old man in front of him.

However, judging from the wind reviews, it is not good.

Outsiders say that the guardian of the first floor is useless, an old drunkard who cheats on eating and sleeping in a cheating place, and is with a pile of steles all day long, compared to the guardians of other buildings, more like a mausoleum keeper, and the origin is unknown.

The wind commented that so, but Wu Ling did not look down on the old man in front of him because of this, on the contrary, he was a little sympathetic.

A man's frustration is the most loveless.

It is equivalent to the soul is dead, and only half of it is unwilling to live.

If the world is ruthless, the half who lives will die. Leaving a body without a soul, only flesh and blood numbly walking in the world.

Seeing that the other party was sleeping sweetly, Wu Ling did not let the other party get up and saw the wordless monument under him.

Under the old man, there is a wordless monument.

It was the emperor of the Wu Kingdom who asked him to move in.

The intention of the ancestor emperor to do this was obvious, so he threw his merits and demerits to future generations and let them evaluate them.

After a few laps, the old man still didn't wake up, so Wu Ling had to go upstairs, planning to go to see the other floors first, and then come back to see the wordless monument.

I didn't see the wordless monument, which gave Wuling the idea of looking down from the roof.

By the time he looked down from the rooftop, perhaps the old man had woken up.

Just when he walked to the second floor, Wu Ling was attracted by the mural that caught his eye and stopped, and his eyes were on the mural and the words next to the mural, and he couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time.

The mural is the work of Bai Yunzi, a Taoist of Yuxiao Peak in Tiantai Mountain.

How well the murals were painted does not need to be evaluated by future generations.

Next to the mural, "If you don't have an old pen, you can be strong and poor." He has already said everything that future generations should say.

After leaving from the second floor, Wuling did not stay, but went straight to the ninth floor, Tianxing Tower has a closed time, the sun will close after a stick of incense, and now it is only about half an hour before the sun sets, so he has to hurry up and try to let himself see it without regrets.

Probably because Du Qingjiao closed the building and cleared the field, Wuling didn't see other figures along the way. The feeling of walking on the stairs alone made Wu Ling feel very uncomfortable. The stars of Tianxinglou are bright, and it should be a scene admired by tens of thousands of people.

When he first climbed to the seventh floor, Wu Ling heard a voice from the eighth floor, "Gongshujing is good at writing but not good at painting after all, this "Zizi Tu" is too small after all, and the painting is similar to that of the little girl who has just learned to paint, which really lives up to its name." ”

Hearing this, Wu Ling couldn't help but pause and stopped.

Wu Ling frowned slightly, questioning the evaluation of the person who spoke, and at the same time feeling a little dissatisfied.

The people upstairs don't know if they can't read it, or if they read it wrongly, and they read it as a child.

"Picture of the Widow" is a calligraphy painting in the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, calligraphy, painting, sword and hops, which is painted with mosquito larvae in the broken tank, which is one of its representative paintings.

The book in the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, sword and hops, called Gongshujing, is a great writer who moves ancient and modern times, and is also called a bookworm by later generations. The reason why it is called is because he visited all the famous book collection places in Kyushu back then. In addition, he has lived in book collections in various countries for more than 60 years, and the remaining 30 years, except for the first few years after birth, are basically on the way to other book collections.

Until his death, Gongshujing was laughed at and said that in a few more years, he would finish reading Kyushu's books.

At that time, in Kyushu, each country had a different script, and even one country had several scripts. The difference in language and writing makes it inconvenient for people to read, and even those who know several languages and scripts are also deeply affected by this.

Because of this, the idea of unifying the language and writing of Kyushu was born.

It is also because of this idea that the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, wine, sword and painting flowers have the opportunity to walk together and become the Seven Sages of Zhuhai.

Today, the thirteen countries of Kyushu use the same language, which is the result of decades of hard work and lobbying by the Seven Sages of Zhuhai.

The unification of the Kyushu script has simplified the way of communication between countries and made exchanges between countries more frequent and closer. Different cultures, after the unification of the written language, have a violent collision, derived from a variety of excellent cultures, so that Kyushu culture, unprecedentedly prosperous.

Although Gongshujing has basically spent his whole life reading, he has also made achievements in painting.

"Picture of the Child" is a representative of his painting style.

The painting style of Gongshujing is delicate, the pen and ink are old, and the children who are smaller than the grains of rice are lifelike and vivid under his brush. Famous artists from all walks of life have a very high evaluation of "The Picture of the Child", and it is even said to be a model work of small object painting.

It's just such a painting, but now it's said to be too petty.

Isn't this a joke?

Wu Ling was curious, "Could it be that Du Qingjiao said it?"

I didn't see Du Qingjiao and his party from the first to the seventh floor, so most of the people upstairs were them.

Without waiting for Wu Ling to find out, a sneer came from upstairs, and it was a woman's voice, "I don't know how this painting works, but I know you definitely can't draw it." ”

Hearing this voice, Wu Ling shook his head and laughed: "This girl's hobby seems to be a bit special, how do you feel that she is not quarreling with others, or on the way to quarrel?"

The woman's voice sounding upstairs was none other than Ju Jingyue.

Du Qingjiao cleared the scene, but Ju Jingyue remained here, obviously her identity was not simple.

Wu Ling quickened the pace of his feet and went upstairs, thinking about what the grand situation was upstairs now, whether a group of people were scrambling to be the flower messengers fearless of power, or a group of people watching the power oppress a lone woman with cold eyes.

When I went up to the eighth floor, what I saw in front of me was completely different from what Wu Ling thought.

Ju Jingyue had her back to him, and in front of Ju Jingyue, there were more than a dozen people standing, looking at the position of a group of people, if nothing else, the person standing in the middle like surrounded by stars should be Du Qingjiao.

Ju Jingyue and the others other than Du Qingjiao, don't say that they are flower messengers, they can't even be counted as cold bystanders, they all stand behind Du Qingjiao, afraid that others won't know that they are with Du Qingjiao.

However, in this way, Ju Jingyue is still fearless, with a posture of horizontal eyebrows and cold fingers.

To Wu Ling's surprise, Pi Yuzhou, who asked him to transfer the sword box today, was also among Du Qingjiao's back.

Wu Ling frowned slightly, "Could it be that I really saw the wrong person?"

In addition to Pi Yuzhou, Wu Ling also saw the sword box he had transferred to Pi Yuzhou in the hand of an entourage beside Du Qingjiao.

It's just that the sword box has changed greatly, and the front of the box has more words "sword hidden in the world". The characters are inlaid with gold wire, as if embroidered with gold wire, which is very gorgeous. Around the sword box, there is also a circle of golden moire, which is also inlaid with gold wire.

The sword box, which originally only cost five taels, was taken out and sold at the moment, at least seven or eight hundred taels.

Seeing this, Wu Ling already understood that the respected elder in Pi Yuzhou's mouth was Du Qingjiao.

Pi Yuzhou, who was in the crowd, also saw Wuling.

Pi Yuzhou wondered in his heart, "Isn't Tianxing Tower blocked, how can he still come up?"

In order to be able to ascend to the Star Tower with Du Qingjiao, Pi Yuzhou can be said to have paid a big price.

Not to mention finding the sword box and spending money to transform the sword box, just to win over the relationship and let people help him build a bridge to support Du Qingjiao, it cost his family thousands of taels of silver.

And now someone has come up leisurely in the situation of Du Qingjiao's closure of the building.

Pi Yuzhou is not a stupid person, so he can naturally guess why this happened. It can only be shown that Wuling's identity and relationship are not inferior to Du Qingjiao.

Compared with Pi Yuzhou, the expressions of the others were much simpler, and most of their attention was on Ju Jingyue, who was speaking wildly.

Regarding Ju Jingyue's ridicule, Du Qingjiao's entourage stood up and reprimanded: "Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, she dared to speak wildly here." ”

Du Qingjiao waved his hand and motioned for his entourage to return to his place and not speak.

Now the group of young people behind Du Qingjiao are all very good scholars in Fufeng Town, and it is very likely that they will have a place among the champions of the martial arts country in the next few years.

He had to maintain his majesty and image.

Du Qingjiao took two steps forward and asked with a smile, "This girl, you seem to have a big opinion of me. ”

Ju Jingyue smiled: "It's just telling the truth. ”

Du Qingjiao said with a smile: "Even if I can't draw it, it doesn't affect my comments, right?

"Doesn't affect?"

Ju Jingyue sneered and said: "Painting skills, painting style, and meaning...... I don't understand the same, what kind of evaluation do you have, just rely on one mouth, and just open your mouth? Besides, I don't know where people who don't know a few big characters come from to confidently evaluate the ancient sages!"

While Ju Jingyue spoke, she also took a few steps forward, her momentum was overwhelming, and she looked like a woman who didn't let her eyebrows go.

This scene made Wu Ling see it and praised, "It really has a bit of the taste of a heroine." ”

Li Zaize's body is vividly embodied in Ju Jingyue, which is in stark contrast to the group of silent people behind Du Qingjiao.

"What a articulate yellow-haired girl"

Du Qingjiao's eyes were slitted, he hid the killing intent in his eyes, gritted his teeth and sneered: "You and I don't know each other, how do you know that I don't know a few big characters, and I can't draw yet, are you sure that the person who came when you opened your mouth was not you?"

Hearing this, Wu Ling shook his head, it seems that Du Qingjiao is going to lose this argument.

After all, I read it wrong.

Ju Jingyue seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world, laughed a few times, and said: "The correct way to read this painting is called Xiao Xiao Tu, but you just read Xiao Xiao as a child." It's hard to believe that you know a lot of words, and it's even harder to believe that you can draw!"

Du Qingjiao glanced at the young talents behind him, and when he saw that these people looked embarrassed and their eyes wandered, he knew that he had read it wrong.

"What a bunch of rubbish!"

Du Qingjiao scolded in his heart, but the expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and said: "Since you said that I can't draw, then I'll show you something, and bring the pen and ink." ”

Seeing that Du Qingjiao was not embarrassed by his misreading at all, Wu Ling had to admire Du Qingjiao, he felt embarrassed as an outsider, but he didn't feel embarrassed by his typographical mistakes at all.

Sure enough, as long as you don't feel embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.

If Wu Ling had misread a word in front of a group of people and made such a big joke, he would have left in disgrace a long time ago, and he could still be like Du Qingjiao, who still confidently wanted to show his talent to others.

However, looking at Du Qingjiao's posture, he seems to be very good at painting.
