Fighter of the Destiny

There is a river in the south of Kyoto, and a straight road north of the river. Standing on the bank and looking south, you can see a large lush garden. There is a green hill faintly deep in the garden. That green hill is the legendary Tomb of the Book of Heaven. ——The motorcade stopped on the road, and the candidates lifted the curtains and looked at the green hill, with longing expressions on their faces.

In the first few days after Chen Changsheng came to Kyoto, he stayed at the Liziyuan Inn outside the Tomb of Books. He still has a room in the inn. He has visited the Tomb of Books from a distance many times, so he was not like those candidates, especially He was as excited as his peers from the south.

The Ivy, Naihe Bridge and Tianshu Mausoleum in the Imperial Palace are all famous places in Kyoto, and the Tianshu Tomb is a place that all tourists want to visit. Like the Imperial Palace, this place is also very lively. There are shops everywhere on both sides of the official road by the river. The vendors keep drinking. Although it is still early in the morning, there are already a lot of people. On the main street slightly north, you can still see There were many official offices of the imperial court, as well as many offices of various colleges and sects.

The convoy did not stay on the official road for too long. Under the leadership of the officials and priests, they passed the wide wooden bridge over the river and arrived at the Qingyuan outside Tianshu Mausoleum. They did not stop here, but went straight through the greenery. The Shinto between ancient cypresses continues towards the green hill under the gaze of one hundred and eight statues of former sages.

There were already many tourists in the outer garden of the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, as well as many Kyoto people walking around. At this time, watching the convoy heading directly towards the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, people quickly guessed the identities of those in the convoy and knew that they must be The candidates who ranked among the top three in this year's imperial examination couldn't help but show envy on their faces.

The old trees are shaded, blocking the morning sun, and it looks very quiet. The deeper you go, the quieter you get. You can only hear the sound of wheels crushing the bluestone of the Shinto. The candidates looked at the scenery on both sides through the car windows. The green hill in the distance was getting closer but still couldn't clearly see its true appearance, and my mood became more and more nervous.

At the end of the dark Shinto is a stone gate. The convoy stopped in front of the stone gate. The officials and priests responsible for the specific matters of observing the monument at the Tomb of the Book of Heaven this year walked to the door with relevant documents and entered the handover with the guards of the Tomb of the Book of the Book. People got out of their cars one after another and lined up to wait to enter.

Not long after, the stone door slowly opened. The candidates noticed a slight tremor from the ground. They couldn't help but be shocked. They thought how heavy this seemingly inconspicuous stone door was, and it could actually make the ground shake. Shock, what kind of formation can be used to open such a heavy stone gate at will?

With a deep sound, the heavy stone door stopped moving, and the green hill appeared completely in everyone's field of vision.

The Mausoleum of Heavenly Books appeared in front of people's eyes.

Mausoleum generally refers to tombs. Only the tombs of emperors or saints are qualified to be called mausoleums.

The Mausoleum of Heavenly Books really looks like a tomb. The base of the mausoleum is extremely square, but there are countless green trees growing on the mausoleum, so it looks like a green mountain. Because of the cover of the green trees, the candidates could not see the legendary stone tablets and did not know where the Heavenly Book was hidden, but they knew that the Heavenly Book was among them. For a time, the Shinto became extremely quiet, and everyone's faces All showed pious sentiments.

Chen Changsheng has some problems in his current state of mind. His thoughts are messy and difficult to calm down. Naturally, he cannot be as excited as when he first entered Kyoto and saw the green hill for the first time in the inn. However, when he actually came to the Tomb of Heavenly Books, he still felt a sense of excitement. With an inexplicable feeling of awe, I looked at the green trees on the Tomb of Heavenly Books, very quiet.

Kyoto has always been the center of the mainland.

No matter the dynasties change, the war continues or the peace and prosperity, this is the center. The sects and families in the south also think so. Even the monsters in Baidi City and even the humans as far away as Daxizhou admit this. Because the National Religion General Altar Palace is here, and the reason why the Palace is here is because the Tomb of Heavenly Books is here.

Countless thousands of years ago, countless streams of fire came from outside the territory, and the Book of Heaven came to the world. It was a blessing given to this continent by God. From that day on, human wisdom was opened by the Book of Heaven, and humans learned to use fire, and how to make and use it. Tools, learned to knot ropes to record events, invented writing, and then civilization emerged. Until people began to explore the secrets of nature, began to question the relationship between themselves and heaven and earth, began to look up at the stars, began to use starlight to cleanse their marrow, and officially embarked on spiritual practice. The road, the source of everything, is this Qingqiu.

What is the Tomb of Heavenly Books? The mausoleum here does not mean mausoleum, but means flat.

When the Book of Heaven came out, the four directions were level. The place where the Book of Heaven is found is the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven. The place where the Tomb of Heavenly Books is located is the center of the world. A human dynasty must be established in Kyoto in order to be called orthodox. The southern sects have been fighting with the northerners for many years and actually govern their own affairs, but they still have to be dominated by the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is also because This principle.

While waiting, the quiet garden gradually became noisy. Many tourists and Kyoto people came here with the convoy. If it were a normal day, they would not be able to approach the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven without being stopped by the sergeant. Today, the situation was special and they had the opportunity to approach. At the main entrance of Tianshu Mausoleum, looking at the young people preparing to enter the mausoleum, their faces were full of envy and yearning.

Tourists and people in Kyoto can freely enter and exit the outer garden of the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, but there is no way to enter the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books.

It is said that countless years ago, the Tomb of Heavenly Books was open to the public, and anyone could visit the Tomb of Heavenly Books and stop in front of the stone monuments. Every day, the Tomb of Heavenly Books was overcrowded, and the green hills were covered by a sea of ​​people, unable to bear their load. Thousands of years ago, there was an emperor who wanted to control the world by issuing qualifications for entering and exiting the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books. He issued an edict that only those who obeyed him could enter the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books. This move offended all the sects and colleges in the mainland, and the emperor was quickly overthrown by the anger of the people in the world. In this regard, the mainland has reached a consensus that the Book of Heaven is a common property of heaven and man, and no one can monopolize it.

Although I have never heard of the Heavenly Book Stone being damaged, based on certain considerations, the powerful people on the mainland decided to set some rules for the entry and exit of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. In the previous dynasty, only practitioners with special permission could have the opportunity to enter. Tianshu Mausoleum, but the conditions are very vague. After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the rules for entering the Tomb of the Book of Heaven were simplified or strengthened. Only candidates who could pass the Great Imperial Examination and those with meritorious deeds could be allowed to enter. With the alliance with Baidi City, The people who fought against the demons, monsters and Daxizhou also obtained the same qualifications - the so-called rules are actually compromises. Of course, because the Tomb of Heavenly Books is in Kyoto of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people living here will naturally take advantage, and the south Those sectarian families always have a lot of complaints every time they mention this matter.

The priests and officials sent the young candidates outside the stone gate and stayed there because they were not qualified to enter the Tomb of Heavenly Books. After the imperial guards checked the candidates' identities, they allowed the candidates to enter one by one. A clear vibration came from the ground again. Some people looked back and saw the stone door closing slowly.

With a dull sound, the Tianshu Mausoleum was once again isolated from the outside world.

More than forty young students looked at the Tomb of Heavenly Books in front of them with different expressions. Some were nervous, some were looking forward to it, some were silent, some were eager to try, and everyone's eyes were wide open - at this time When they arrived in front of the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, they still could not see clearly the true appearance of the Tomb of Heavenly Books, because there were too many green trees, and the scenery blocked too much of the scenery.

At this moment, several men in white robes appeared in front of them. Their expressions were indifferent, and there was not much emotion between their eyebrows. Their voices were also very calm, and their speaking speed was very slow. As he usually lacked opportunities to speak, looking at them, Chen Changsheng naturally thought of the wolf boy named Zhe Xiu.

Tang Thirty-Six said: These people are the legendary stele attendants.

Chen Changsheng asked: Stele Attendant?

Tang Thirty-Six said: Just like the stele interpreters at the Saintess Peak in the South, they have been trying to decipher the secrets of the Heavenly Book all their lives, and they have sworn a blood oath not to leave the Tomb of the Heavenly Book for the rest of their lives.

Chen Changsheng was a little surprised, thinking that spending his long life in the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book would be too lonely and miserable. When he looked at the white-robed men, he naturally felt more pity.

Tang Sanliu looked at the expression on his face and said slightly mockingly: They are willing to dedicate their lives to the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book. Why do they need your sympathy? Besides, there are countless cultivators in the world who wish they could have the opportunity to see it at any time like them. It’s too late to envy the Book of Heaven.”

Chen Changsheng still couldn't understand. He loved reading and exploring the true meaning of Taoist scriptures, but shouldn't life be free and joyful? How can they all be placed in this green mountain?

Those tablet attendants, perhaps because they had been studying knowledge in the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book all year round, were not very good at communicating with people. They left a few words to explain to the young students some of the facilities around the Tomb of Heaven's Book, and then prepared to turn around and leave. When I went there, a monument attendant remembered something and said: Zhou Garden will open in one month, don't forget it.

After saying this, several of the monument attendants left.

There was silence in the room, and the young candidates looked at each other speechlessly, feeling a little confused and at a loss.

Is this the end? What to do next?

The Zhou Garden will open in one month, just don't forget about it.

Guan Feibai said expressionlessly to the disciples of the sect in the south, then quickened his pace and followed Gou Hanshi towards the green mountains.

The four disciples of Lishan Sword Sect were the first to leave. Following their example, the candidates gradually dispersed. When they were in front of others, these candidates' footsteps were relatively steady. Occasionally, some people walked in a hurry, which was normal, but when they entered Behind the mountain forest, there were countless sounds of breaking through the air, and they actually used their body skills.

Listening to these sounds in the green mountains, Chen Changsheng was puzzled and asked: Why is everyone so anxious?

Didn't you hear what Guan Feibai said just now? The Zhou Garden will open in a month. If you want to go to the Zhou Garden, you have to break through the secluded environment and take every step slowly. If you see the stone tablet a moment later, you will be able to practice in the future. We are decades slower than our fellow travelers on the road, so naturally everyone is striving to get ahead.”

Tang Sanshiliu looked at him and said, The strange thing is you. Why are you so in no hurry?
