Fighter of the Destiny

Chen Changsheng finished telling this story.

After a moment of silence, there was discussion around Beilu, and people looked at Ji Jin with complicated eyes. Previously, this senior asked sternly, among the countless solutions to the Zhaoqing Stele from ancient times to the present, which one deviated from the true path of the sea? Now it seems that Wei Guogong's method of solving the Heavenly Book Stele has nothing to do with the authentic Xuanmen solution. What should we do? answer?

At this time, Ji Jin also remembered the legend of Wei Guogong's viewing of the stele, and his expression became ugly - he could not deny the existence of this legend. Although there was no record in the history books, there were actual records in the Tianshu Mausoleum. As a stele attendant, he had witnessed it with his own eyes. As you have seen, the Wei State interpreted the Book of Heaven as its laws, so it followed the laws of Zhou for the rest of its life, admonished the king, and eventually became a generation of critics! But how could he be persuaded by a junior, and said in a deep voice: When Wei Guogong saw the lines of the inscription and understood the correct rules, he still looked at its shape to get its meaning, and looked at its meaning to move his spiritual consciousness!

There was a slight commotion when everyone heard this, and several young candidates standing in the back shook their heads, thinking that the two words Xingyi in the three main methods of interpreting tablets in the authentic Taoist school are not the same as the Xingyi in this sentence. , Wei Guogong has never practiced cultivation in his life, he only has courage and wisdom. There is no spiritual knowledge. Senior Ji Jin's words are too strong and unreasonable.

Seeing people's reactions, Ji Jin was even more angry, but before he could say anything else, Gou Hanshi's voice rang out again.

I also remembered a story. This story was recorded in the Guiyuan Chronicles and is not included in the Taoist List. I read it once when I was a child. If Chen Changsheng hadn't mentioned the Monument of Wei Guogong, it would have been difficult for me to remember that. The story tells that the first generation master of the Taoist sect once asked a woodcutter.

Everyone was stunned, the master of the Taoist sect actually asked the woodcutter? Why have you never heard of it?

Gou Hanshi continued: At that time, there were constant disputes in the world. The Taoist sect had not yet been born, and it was not a state religion. However, the first generation of the Taoist sect was already a powerful man at a very high level. He had visited the Tomb of the Book of Heaven to view the monuments several times in order to understand the truth of the way of heaven. However, although I gained something every time I viewed the monument, I still had a long way to go to reach the top of the mausoleum. One day, the master of the Taoist sect was touching the monument and looking at the top of the mausoleum and lamented that his monastic life was limited. It may be extremely difficult to go further in this life. Unexpectedly, he saw a woodcutter walking down from the mausoleum carrying firewood. The master of the Taoist sect was extremely shocked. He thought that he could not climb to the top of the mausoleum, and neither could the strongest people in the mainland who were similar to his own. Why did this woodcutter come down? I can obviously not practice cultivation and am old and frail, but I can still walk freely in the Tomb of Heavenly Books?

It was quiet again in front of the monument. People's minds were attracted by this story that they had never heard before. They thought, could it be that the woodcutter was the real strong man of heaven and had even entered the legendary realm of freedom?

The master of the Taoist sect sincerely asked for advice. The woodcutter said that he had been chopping firewood in this mountain for a living since his ancestors and had never lost his way. The master of the Taoist sect asked hard how to find the road between the tombs. The woodcutter hesitated for a long time. , brought the master of the Taoist sect to the monument, and said that the road between the mausoleums is all on the stone monument, you just follow it... After saying this, the woodcutter went down the mountain.

Gou Hanshi paused for a moment and said: The master of the Taoist sect spent dozens of days and nights thinking hard in front of that stone tablet, but he still couldn't find any path among the lines on the tablet. One night, he suddenly had an idea, laughed three times, and walked away Flying straight to the top of the mausoleum, he understood the way of heaven and opened the way. However, until he returned to the sea of ​​​​stars in his later years, he still couldn't forget why the woodcutter could see the road on the heavenly book tablet, but he couldn't...

This story is finished.

There was silence all around Beilu.

Ji Jin said with an ugly face: Not to mention the method used by the woodcutter to see the road in the inscription, just say that this story is recorded in Guiyuan Xiaoshu... Guiyuan Xiaoshu is not in the Taoist list. How can you believe it? Are you making up a story in confusion just to prove me wrong?

Chen Changsheng shook his head and said: Guiyuan Xiaoshu is a compilation of the conversations of the first generation of Taoist sects in the hundred days before he returned to Xinghai. The reason why it is not in the Taoist list is because when the state religion was first established in 1573, the first generation of Taoist sects His descendants once tried to split the Taoist sect, and were convicted of great treason and traced back to their ancestors, so they are not listed in the Taoist list, but it is still canon, and it should be in the palace now, and can be consulted at any time.

Gou Hanshi said that this was indeed the case, looked at Chen Changsheng and nodded slightly. They are all young people who have read Tao Zang thoroughly and can respond to each other. This feeling is really good. Chen Changsheng had troubles and even grievances with the Lishan Sword Sect that were difficult to resolve, but Gou Hanshi had no hostility toward him. Chen Changsheng also found him more and more pleasing to his eye. This was largely due to these reasons.

Everyone knows that Gou Hanshi has read through the Dao Zang. After a night of Ivy Banquet, Chen Changsheng's reputation for also reading through the Dao Zang has spread widely. At this time, the former narrated and the latter added, indicating that it was originally in the palace and could be consulted at any time. People present Naturally, he was convinced, but Ji Jin's face became even more ugly, even a little livid.

That's enough. With a cold voice, a monument attendant in white shirt came to the venue.

The monument attendant had white hair on his temples and looked quite old. The young candidate who knew him exclaimed: Mr. Nianguang!

Chen Changsheng only found out after asking Gou Hanshi that this Mr. Nian Guang was from the Zongji Temple. He practiced hard since he was a child and was quite famous in the spiritual world. However, for some unknown reason, he entered the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books after taking the second place in the Imperial Examination in a certain year. He took the oath to become a tablet attendant and never left the Tomb of Heavenly Books again.

Nian Guang looked at Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng and said expressionlessly: Neither Wei Guogong nor the woodcutter is a practitioner, but you are practitioners. The purpose of observing the monument is to inquire about the way of heaven. It is not based on the law and the true path. What Mr. Jin said is not unreasonable. Of course, if you insist on creating a new path, it is also an act of courage and nothing inappropriate.

After hearing these words, everyone realized that this respected senior was here to smooth things over.

Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng saluted Mr. Nian Guang without saying anything else.

Nian Guang looked at Ji Jin again, frowned slightly, and said with some pity and anger: It only took you a few years to complete the seventeen steles in the front mausoleum. They all praised you for being calm as water, but what happened now? ? Even if the master sect enshrines our practice, how can we waste time on these mundane things outside the mausoleum?

Ji Jin humiliated Chen Changsheng not entirely because of the request from outside the mausoleum, but also because he himself had some emotions. Seeing Nian Guang come forward in person, even though he was unwilling to do so, he knew that he could not regain the situation with words, and said indifferently: National Religion It seems that they really value this young man and actually let you, who has a grudge against the National Education Academy, come forward.

Nian Guang frowned slightly.

Ji Jin looked at Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi, and said with an expressionless face: The dispute of words is meaningless after all. After all, it may be just a bunch of shit. I want to see the forty-four people who entered the mausoleum in the Great Dynasty this year. Let’s see who can unlock this Zhaoqing Monument first, and who can unlock more monuments.”

Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng came here to look at the monument tonight. They were not here to have a verbal dispute. They were not very interested in who could be the first to interpret the Heavenly Book Monument. They did not respond to Ji Jin's obviously contemptuous provocation. Meaningful words, but just because they don't speak, it doesn't mean that other companions have such good tempers.

A clear but extremely frivolous voice came from the mountain road.

A hundred years ago, the Holy Empress went to the Shinto to worship heaven on behalf of the late emperor. She was extremely unhappy when she saw the names of those who had learned the Tao the fastest by observing the monuments on the stone tablet in front of the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven. She thought that the tablet of the Book of Sky Viewing was a glimpse of the way of heaven, and was determined to Writing lists one after another was vulgar, so I ordered Master Zhou Tong to personally hold the ax and chisel away all the names engraved on the tablet. I don’t expect that tonight in the Tomb of Heavenly Books, there are people who still remember such vulgar actions and make such nonsense. Are you dissatisfied with your Majesty’s decree back then? Or are you so stubborn that you don’t know that this move is desecrating the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven?”

Everyone in the world knows this past event. But to be honest, although the rankings on that stele have been destroyed, in the hearts of all practitioners, that stele still exists. No one can forget the names that once hung on it, such as Zhou Dufu and Jiao. Mr. Zong, for example, what Wang Zhice and Ji Jin said before was something that many people cared about, but the man walking up the mountain road ignored it at all. He held up the Holy Queen's will and said it in a very high-sounding way. It leaves people speechless, let alone refuting it, who dares?

Listening to that voice, Chen Changsheng shook his head. Gou Hanshi also heard it and smiled slightly. The two of them stepped aside, knowing that since that guy was here, if they wanted to fight, it would be their turn.

Ji Jin didn't know who the visitor was, and his face was extremely gloomy, as if water was dripping from his face. Zhong Hui and the other three scholars from Huaiyuan were also extremely angry.

The dim light emitted by the oil lamps on the branches suddenly became brighter as the young man arrived, because the young man's belt was inlaid with dozens of precious gems, because the hilt of the sword beside his waist It is also set with a gemstone, which keeps shining, just like his handsome face.

The eyes of the senior sister from Saintess' Peak lit up.

When Tang Thirty-Six arrived, he looked at the gloomy Ji Jin and raised his eyebrows and said, Don't you think what I said makes sense? Then do you want to go to the Daming Palace and ask the Holy Queen what she thinks?

Nian Guang frowned slightly and scolded with some displeasure: That's enough.

This respected senior monument attendant had said enough before. Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng stopped talking. Tang Sanliu was not such a person. Instead, he raised his eyebrows higher and said, You also Don't think about being with Xini, and don't show your seniority in front of me. This is the Mausoleum of Heaven's Book and we can't fight, so why should I be afraid of you?

Nian Guang was suffocated upon hearing this.

Tang Sanliu looked at Ji Jin again and said: Similarly, you can't hit me, let alone kill me. I laughed at you, but what can you do to me? Want to have a scolding? I'm not Chen Changsheng That kind of boring gourd is not a polite hypocrite like Gou Hanshi. When it comes to swearing, you are really no match for me. If you are not willing to do so, you can let your disciples and grandsons be by my side when I look at the stele and enlightenment tomorrow. Beat the gongs and drums and see if it affects me at all. Do you really think I didn’t prepare some fluffy and comfortable earplugs?”

…
