Fighter of the Destiny

The Pope looked into the darkness and said, This is sending him to death.

The man in the night responded calmly: What does death mean? So many royal family members died back then.

The Pope was silent for a long time, and the sea of ​​​​stars deep in his eyes gradually became calmer: You are not a royal family, so why can't you let go of these things?

The voice in the night was calm and firm: This is His Majesty's will.

The Pope knew that the His Majesty he was talking about was of course not the late emperor, but the most remarkable king in history—His Majesty Emperor Taizong.

This conversation began with a letter sent to Kyoto from Xining Town many years ago.

This controversy began two and a half years ago when a young man named Chen Changsheng walked into the abandoned campus of the National Education College.

It seems that we should end this conversation tonight.

It's just that even at this time, the Pope is still not sure of his mind, just like the green leaves in the basin, gently swaying with the night wind.

This does not mean that he does not have his own position and his Taoism is not firm enough. On the contrary, it is precisely because he has too many things to consider, ranging from far-reaching and meticulous, that it is difficult to make a decision.

Except for me, no one knows that what you are best at is the Time Scroll, which is also known as the Xiliudian.

There seemed to be a gaze in the night, falling on the small pool in the hall, and then on the wooden ladle beside the pool.

The man said to the Pope: You are like the clear water flowing to the west. Although it has flowed for thousands of years, it is still not stained by any dust or dirt. It is clearly visible to the bottom, but Ning Rou has endless divine power. So... You don’t need to make a decision now, at the last moment you will eventually find out what your heart is.”

After saying this, there was no more sound in the night.

The Pope stood on the stone steps, looking at the shadow of the cornices, standing in front of the sound of running water, his clothes swaying slightly in the night wind.

Senior brother, you cultivate to go with your heart, is that why you are so confident that my will will go with yours?

…

…

After leaving Xining Town, Yu Ren went to many places with his master, but whether it was the snowfield in Hanshan Mountain or the wilderness below Yongxue Pass, he didn't like it too much because there were too few people and the Baidi City on the bank of the Red River It didn't leave a deep impression on him, but he was a little happy when he heard that the demon princess was actually his junior brother's student.

He has been in a good mood these days, not because this is Kyoto, his hometown.

He was raised by his master since he was a child. He only had some vague memories of his childhood, but he could no longer remember clearly. His master told him that he was from Kyoto and had lived here, but he could not remember where his home was. And he doesn't like Kyoto. The reason is different from the reason he doesn't like the snowy wilderness. He feels that there are too many people in Kyoto.

There are too many people in Kyoto, too few people in the snowy wilderness, and there are not too many people in Xining Town, which is the best.

He didn't know why his master took him to so many places and why he came to Kyoto. He was just worried about his junior brother's health and wanted to meet him, but after his master took him to the Tomb of Heavenly Books, he quietly disappeared and told him not to After leaving Tianshu Mausoleum, I said that I would be able to meet my junior brother in a few days.

Looking at the disappearing figure of his master, he thought for a while and decided that this was fine. No matter what happened to his junior brother, he could always solve it with his master around. Moreover, there were really too many people in Kyoto, and he really didn't like it. There were not too many people in Tianshu Mausoleum, but there were green trees and flowing water. It easily reminded him of the mountain, the stream behind Xining Town, and The happy days of apostating Taoism and catching fish with his junior brother. He heard that when his junior brother was observing the monument to enlightenment, the stars in the sky fell down. This made him very proud and happy, so he felt that he had more reasons to like this place.

There is another very important thing - you can see the Heavenly Book Monument in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. He has read through the Taoist Canon since he was a child, and has already mastered it except for the last one of the three thousand volumes of the Taoist Canon. Although like Chen Changsheng, his master has not taught him how to practice, he naturally has an affinity for the Heavenly Book Stele that hides the ultimate principles of Taoism. The feeling of intimacy, I want to see something interesting from it.

When the master left the Tomb of the Book of Heaven, he told him not to leave, but he did not say that he would not be allowed to see the Monument of the Book of Heaven. He prepared meals for two days in that small courtyard. He stood by the fence with his crutches and watched the sunlight change twice. He felt that there should be no problem, so he walked out of Meili with the packed lunch box and walked along the mountain road. Walk towards the mausoleum.

There is still a long time before the Great Imperial Examination. Because of the opening of the Zhou Garden and the Stone Cooking Conference last year, as well as the many changes that occurred, the monument watchers in the Tianshu Mausoleum began to leave the mausoleum one after another. The number of monks who are still in the mausoleum is now smaller than in previous years. It was very rare. He walked on the mountain road for a long time and didn't meet anyone until he came to the first monument.

In front of this monument house, he met a monument attendant named Ji Jin. The temperament of the monument attendant was very gentle, with a kind of indifference and calmness that could see through the world, which made other people feel good. He thought to himself that the Tomb of Heavenly Books was indeed a holy place for cultivating Taoism. After observing the monument for a long time, everyone would have such a temperament. promote?

The monument attendant named Ji Jin asked him which sect's disciple he was and why he entered the Tianshu Mausoleum at this time to view the monument.

Yu Ren didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, he couldn't speak. He put his crutch on the pillar of the pavilion and made a few gestures with one hand. He didn't know if the other party could understand him.

Ji Jin couldn't understand his sign language, but he saw Yu Ren's disability clearly and sympathized with him. He didn't ask any more questions and reminded him not to force himself when viewing the monument and to take rest.

Watching the monument attendant leaving along the mountain path, Yu Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, with a proud smile in his eyes, thinking that his junior brother was wrong, there is no way he would lie to others, but in Xining Town No need to lie, you see, I successfully deceived a senior at this time.

The first Tianshu stele in the Tianshu Mausoleum is the Zhaoqing stele.

Yu Ren dragged his legs and slowly walked to the monument, looked over, a little curious, a little excited, and even couldn't help but reach out and touch it. He felt that this Heavenly Book Monument was really interesting, and the poem written by the sages was so good. It felt really comfortable and cool to the touch, just like the stream on the mountain behind Xining Town.

Then, he came to the second Heavenly Book Monument.

This Heavenly Book Monument was also very interesting. He looked at it with great interest and felt that the lines were so beautiful, just like the light cut by the leaves on the mountain behind Xining Town in autumn.

Then, he came to the third Heavenly Book Monument.

This Heavenly Book Monument was more interesting. The traces on the surface of the monument were still clear and the lines were still beautiful, but it was not as complicated as the first two monuments. In his eyes, it became extremely simple lines.

Simplicity does not mean that it is not beautiful, nor does it mean that it is easy to understand. Just like when it rains in Xining Town, the falling water lines under the eaves of the old temple and the traces of the dancing yellow leaves knocked down by the rain. In order to figure out the patterns in those traces, Yu Ren spent more time this time. He even put the crutch aside and sat on the ground to think for a while.

Then, there is the fourth Heavenly Book Monument.

The fifth Heavenly Book Monument.

Block Six.

The seventh seat.

…

…

I don’t know how much time passed.

The rest came to a monument hut. He leaned on his crutches and tilted his head slightly. Looking at the monument under the hut, he felt a little strange.

Because the monument is broken, I don’t know where the original surface of the monument has gone.

He didn't know that this broken monument was cut off by a man named Zhou Du|fu. With this broken monument as the boundary, he had seen those heavenly book monuments, which were all called Qianling Monuments.

He knew that his junior brother's viewing of the monuments in Tianshu Mausoleum went smoothly last year, which made him very proud, but he did not know that there was a saying that he could view all the monuments in front of the tomb in one day.

He looked up at the sky and found that the sun had not yet reached its peak and the weather was not too hot, so he decided to continue looking.

At this time, it had not been half a day since he entered the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books.

How do you view the broken monument? He doesn't know either.

He slowly walked to the broken monument and reached out to touch the broken stubble on the monument.

After a moment, he retracted his finger, looked around thoughtfully, and found that he was still in front of this broken monument.

He changed the crutch to another side, held it between his broken arms, and scratched his itchy back with his free right hand. He was a little puzzled and thought to himself: What should I do next?

The autumn wind in the mountains blew gently, lifting the hem of his washed white Taoist robe, lifting the black hair on his forehead, revealing his eyes.

He has one eye that cannot see, but he doesn't know if he can see anything else.

He walked to the wild forest behind Beilu, stretched out his hand to push aside some prickly grass branches, and looked inside curiously.

There is a vague road there, which must have been stepped on. It is almost covered by weeds. No one has walked on it for who knows how many years.

Looking at the path where it was difficult to stand, Yu Ren had a troubled look on his face, but after thinking about it, he still used his crutches and limped inside.

The wild grass gradually submerged his figure, and the deserted road gradually extended under his feet and crooks.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally walked out of the wild forest and came to another monument.

He raised his arms and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeves. He felt his face was a little warm and thought to himself that he was lucky that he was not lost. Otherwise, he would be in trouble and he would not be able to call for help.

He walked to the foot of the monument and began to look at the monument.

This is no longer Qianling.

He has arrived at the second tomb of the Thirteen Tombs of the Book of Heaven.

After Zhou Dufu broke the monument in Tianshu Mausoleum, he was the first person to come here directly.

Of course he didn't know this. He continued to look at the monuments, continued to move forward, and looked at one monument after another.

When he felt hungry, he took out his lunch box from his arms and started eating. When he was hungry, he went to find some mountain water to drink.

The dish in the lunch box is very simple, it is fried bacon with green pepper.

He found the bacon on the beam of a stove in an abandoned courtyard, and picked the green peppers in an unkempt vegetable field.

The sun sets and the stars rise into the night sky. The sun rises and the stars recede behind the light. The clear stream in the mountains flows slowly, just like time.

I don’t know how many days later, Yu Ren found that the lunch box was empty, and there was no remnant of fried bacon with green peppers or fermented bean curd.

He was really hungry, so he walked back along the original path. When he passed the monuments and huts, he finally saw some monks.

In the past few days, all I have seen are silent mountains, forests and stone monuments. Finally, I can see people. The rest of the people are a little happy and nod to the ascetics.

And those monks looked at him like they were looking at ghosts.

Who is this person? How come I've never seen it before? Why did he come back from the front? Could it be that he has already seen the next Heavenly Book Monument?
