Fighter of the Destiny

I will learn to think of these stone beads as beautiful ornaments, not as heavenly book tablets.

Xu Yourong looked at him and said calmly: Then, I'm a little hungry at this time.

Xunmei's thatched cottage has not been lived in for a long time and is very dusty, but all the utensils are still in place.

Chen Changsheng went to the garden and picked two handfuls of green vegetables, pinched a dozen peppers, cut half a square of bacon into slices, steamed them with honey, and served with white rice for a sweet meal.

Xu Yourong was very satisfied with the meal and felt a little embarrassed.

Next, they discussed the Great Imperial Examination and the Stone Cooking Conference next year, as well as how to leave the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books.

In order to avoid being seen and guessed, which would further spread the rumors in Kyoto, the two of them agreed to leave separately. Xu Yourong left first, while Chen Changsheng would stay in the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven for one more day, but they did not expect that , this is completely trying to conceal it, and there is no way it can be concealed from others.

In other words, this is called hiding one's ears and stealing the bell.

However, before Xu Yourong could leave, an uninvited guest arrived in the courtyard.

The person who came was Ji Jin, the monument attendant who was born in Huaiyuan. I don't know if he recognized Xu Yourong's identity or guessed something. He was standing on the other side of the fence, looking a little lonely, his face a little pale, and his eyes were filled with laughter. The resentment and unwillingness are gone. It is very complicated but cannot be explained.

Chen Changsheng was about to say something, but Xu Yourong signaled him to wait.

Her sleeves were fluttering, and she walked to the fence, looked at Ji Jin with an indifferent expression and said, I will cancel your qualification as a tablet attendant and expel you from the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books.

The skylight filtered through the branches of the plum trees in the orange grove and fell on her face.

That extremely beautiful face suddenly gained a sense of sacredness and solemnity.

Because when she said this, she was a superior southern saint.

It is extremely difficult to become an attendant of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. You need to make a very extreme blood oath that actually contains some kind of heavenly power.

Once you take a blood oath and become a steward of the monument, you will have the freedom that practitioners dream of spending time with the Heavenly Book Monument. At the same time, you will also lose the freedom to leave the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. You can only study the Heavenly Book Monument and do knowledge in the mausoleum throughout your life, but cannot leave. One step from the Tomb of Heavenly Books.

Countless years have passed since the state religion set this rule. There has been only one exception - when Su Li broke into the Tomb of Heavenly Books and cursed two tablet attendants from the Lishan Sword Sect bloody. Then he was forcibly taken back to Lishan.

Those two stele attendants were later the two elders of Lishan Discipline Hall, and they were also one of the main causes of the civil strife in Lishan.

The Tomb of Heavenly Books is too tempting to ascetics, like a dream that cannot end.

The more profound the Taoism is and the longer you study the Heavenly Book Tablet, the more reluctant you are to leave here.

Even a talented Taoist like Xun Mei took decades to wake up.

To cancel the blood oath of a tablet attendant and expel him from the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, only the pope and the saint are qualified to do so, and the tablet attendant will suffer the backlash of the blood oath, which will be very painful.

After listening to Xu Yourong's words and looking at Ji Jin, whose face instantly turned pale and whose body was trembling, Chen Changsheng felt wary.

When he thought about it, Ji Jin would be extremely angry if he was humiliated and punished in such a big way, and he might even go crazy and attack Xu Yourong.

However, Ji Jin did not take action in anger. After a while, he gradually calmed down and bowed to Xu Yourong through the fence.

He bowed his head to the ground, looking extremely respectful.

His voice was trembling, very excited, and slightly bewildered.

Thank you, Saint, for showing me mercy. Ji Jin is extremely grateful and will repay you with death.

Watching Ji Jin's figure gradually disappearing into the woods, Chen Changsheng was a little puzzled.

Why?

Because he wanted out.

I heard... the backlash of the Blood Oath is terrible.

“After all, it’s more terrifying than not having freedom.”

But, aren't they voluntary to become monument attendants?

As time goes by, people's thoughts often undergo changes that they never imagined at the beginning.

Xu Yourong walked up to him and said, The Mausoleum of Heavenly Books is the most beautiful dream and the longest confinement for many ascetics.

Chen Changsheng vaguely remembered hearing similar statements.

She continued: Actually, I have had the idea for a long time. I am planning to persuade the uncles in Zhaili and discuss with Li Gong to change this rule.

Chen Changsheng looked at her beautiful features and felt that she was getting more and more attracted to her, so he said from the bottom of his heart: You are a good person.

Then he added: If Li Gong does not agree to Nan Xizhai's request, when I become the pope in the future, I will try to abolish this rule.

Xu Yourong said softly: You are also a good person.

…

…

The next day, Chen Changsheng left the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven and, escorted by several cardinals, returned to the Academy of Chinese Education.

At that time, the morning light was dim, the sky in the west was like night, and it was still very early. He was about to go to the newly built kitchen across the lake to ask Xuanyuan Po for some food, but suddenly he saw a completely unexpected person on the big banyan tree, and he couldn't help but Wei Jing asked, What happened?

Except for a few special circumstances, Tang Sanliu would never get up so early, but at this time he was standing on the arm of the big banyan tree and looking into the distance. He didn't know if he had stayed up all night or what was going on. Without looking at Chen Changsheng, he still looked into the distance and asked with an indifferent expression: Do you know what the most painful thing in the world is?

Chen Changsheng shook his head.

Tang Sanliu sneered and said: The most painful thing in the world is that when we people are as tired as pigs and dogs, some people still have the leisure and ambition to date, and you have to keep it secret for someone. It’s a secret, yes… we actually had a tryst in the Mausoleum of Heaven’s Book.”

After recruiting new students to the National Education Academy, the first test that the freshmen faced was the imperial examination. For the upcoming imperial examination, both Tang Sanliu and Su Moyu were extremely busy, and even Zhexiu would occasionally give it to the students. They take classes and use pain and blood to tell them what real fighting is.

However, as the dean of the Chinese Academy of Education, Chen Changsheng completely ignored this matter.

Tang Sanliu's real pain still came from keeping secrets.

Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong had known each other in the Zhou Garden. They had feelings for each other and often met in private. Now he is the only one in Kyoto who knows this secret.

The so-called secret, once it is known to others, people with secrets tend to relax a lot, just like Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong these days.

But the person who knew the secret but couldn't tell it outside would inherit their pain and pressure, even greater.

Rumors spread all over the capital, and everyone was saying that Chen Changsheng was desperately in love with Xu Yourong, and Tang Sansliu wished he could spit his spit on those people's faces, and he wished he could reopen Chenghu Tower and stand on the roof to face thousands of people. Thousands of people told the story and told the world the secrets of those two people.

But he couldn't do that, so he was miserable and even a little angry.

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said with some confusion: It was you who told me to endure it.

Tang Sanliu looked at it and said, But I can't bear it anymore.
