Chapter 210 Zhaoqing Monument

The surrounding area of ​​the stele house was very quiet, with only Chen Changsheng alone. The situation yesterday was completely different. At that time, dozens of candidates were surrounded by this stele house. The venue was very quiet, but there were too many people, so it was inevitable that it would still seem a little crowded. The rubbing and walking sounds of clothes never stopped. Even at night, people did not leave, but lit the lanterns in front of the cottage. But after all, the Tianshuling Mausoleum has existed on this continent for countless years. Many sects and academies have visited the Tianshuling Mausoleum to see the stone tablet, and have already summarized a lot of experience. They explained it before the examination of the dynasty. After the initial excitement, the candidates woke up and realized that watching the stele was not a matter of one day or one night. They must take good care of themselves. So they followed the instructions of the master's sect and went to the cemetery to find a place to rest. At this time, they should be still asleep.

Chen Changsheng didn't know these processes and looked at the stone tablet seriously.

The surface of the stele is black, with countless lines, thick, thin, deep or shallow. The lines are carved with sharp objects. The turns are quite casual, covering the entire stele surface, and there are countless intersections between them, which seem complex and inexplicable. If you look at it with an emotional perspective, or attach the historical meaning to it, you can see the ancient meaning from these lines. But if you calm down and remove all the emotions and the awe of the heavenly books, these lines actually have no rules, and there is no meaning, just like things written by children. Many scholars even think that these lines may really be formed naturally, which is a school of stele interpretation that was popular many years ago.

Chen Changsheng saw the legendary stele of Heavenly Book for the first time today, so he naturally had no ability to make any judgment. The reason why his heartbeat began to accelerate when his eyes fell on the stele was not because he understood something at a glance, nor because he was shocked by finding that he had seen some lines. It was just the emotional fluctuations that naturally brought about by the legend's appearance in front of him.

Yes, he has seen these traces, or inscriptions, on this stele of heavenly calligraphy.

There is no coincidence or a miracle. Many people have seen these incomprehensible inscriptions on the Tianshu Monument - all the stalls on both sides of the righteous road outside the Tianshu Monument have rubbings sold inscriptions. Almost everyone from other counties visiting Tianshu Monument. You should know that these rubbings have always been the best souvenirs sold in Tianshu Monument.

Countless years ago, rubbings of the Heavenly Book Monument were circulated in the world. When the human dynasty gradually became more and more stringent, emperors tried to forbidden the rubbings of the inscriptions in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. However, there were already many rubbings outside, and this temptation was too great to ban it at all, so they could only be left alone.

Especially the rubbings of the inscriptions of the seventeen stone tablets in the foreground of the Tianshu Mausoleum were even sold three times during the pre-dynasty period, with more than a dozen official versions printed and at least millions of copies printed. While replacing a large amount of wealth for the inner treasury, it also provided a lot of soft and appropriate paper for many people's home padding tables.

The most fundamental reason why the rubbings of the Heavenly Book Monument can be widely circulated is two points. First, looking at the rubbings of the Heavenly Book Monument and directly viewing the stele are two concepts. Over the years, countless practitioners have proved that only by looking at the stone tablet with their own eyes can we understand the true meaning of the Heavenly Book Monument hidden in the inscription. Secondly, the number of rubbings of the Heavenly Book Monument that can be spread among the people is limited, and most of them are these stone tablets in the former tomb. You must know that those who can come into contact with more stone tablets must be strong people with success in practicing Taoism, and they will not be able to covet these fame and fortune. For example, a powerful man with amazing talents like Tianliang Wangpo, who only saw thirty-one stone tablets in the Heavenly Book Monument. Even if he was smart, he could not print the rubbings of the Heavenly Book Monument behind and then take them out of the Heavenly Book Monument.

After Chen Changsheng arrived in Kyoto, he lived in Liziyuan Inn outside the Tianshu Mausoleum for a while. Every day, he would see the rubbings of the Tianshu Monument placed on the stall. Naturally, he had bought some of the rubbings. When he first got the rubbings, he was still very excited. He didn't throw them aside until he found that they had no meaning.

But standing on the Heavenly Book Monument and seeing the lines on the monument with your own eyes is a completely different thing.

For thousands of years, this stone tablet has remained silent under the hut and is still mysterious.

The lines on the black stone tablet floated in Chen Changsheng's eyes. The mark on the lower right side of the stele that was originally deep in the stone suddenly turned into a bulge. Dozens of thin lines attached to the edge of it also left the stone surface, giving people a feeling of floating.

Chen Changsheng knew that this was an illusion, and this was a disturbance to the real vision after the connection between the divine consciousness and the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. When he was a child, he read the Taoist sect in the old temple in Xining Town, he had seen many records of the predecessors of the state religion. Therefore, he was not surprised by this sudden change, but still maintained absolute calmness.

The so-called change actually has no change, it is just a change of light and shadow, and the objective reality is still there.

Whether it is gloomy or heavy rain, whether there is this hut above the stele, whether it is wet or dark, or dazzling, the stele is always still the stele, and the lines on the stele are always still the stele. However, the biggest difference between the inscription and the rubbings circulated among the people is not this change.

The position is relative, and the apparent is relative.

The position changes with the position of the reference object, and the apparent changes with the environment.

To determine the location, you need to determine the location of all reference objects.

If you want to observe the unchanging objective reality, do you need to first understand the changes in the environment to the objective reality?

Are the information that the observer needs to understand and the truth that the person who observes the monument is hidden in this change?

Standing in front of the hut, Chen Changsheng looked at the inscription, maintaining the same posture, and did not move for a long time.

The morning sun had all jumped out of the horizon. The morning glow looked at the Tianshu Mausoleum from afar, bringing a warmth. The chill in the morning forest was gradually dispelled, and the side of the Tianshu Monument was dyed red, which was very beautiful.

Looking at the red rays on the edge of the stone tablet, Chen Changsheng closed his eyes, remained silent for a while, and then turned around.

He no longer looked at the stele, but looked around the stele.

The forest tips were dyed red as if they were about to burn. The stele huts that appeared in the distance were even more difficult to confirm the location. He walked from under the tomb and arrived in front of the first Heavenly Book Monument. The road was at the end. There was no road leading to other Heavenly Book Monument. However, it was said that there was only one road in the Heavenly Book Monument. So what did this mean?

The morning sun burned the forest tips, and the bright red light illuminated the dark cliff in front of the hut. Only then did he see that there were a few lines of words engraved on the cliff.

Unlike the incomprehensible Heavenly Book Monument, the words on the cliff are easy to understand because they are written in words that everyone can understand.

"A river of smoke and water shines on the clear mist, people on both sides of the river connect the eaves, the light lotus clusters with autumn light, and the fragrant wind blows ten miles of pearl curtains." (Note)

This poem was written by the Taoist sect two thousand years ago. When I first entered the Heavenly Book Tomb to watch the stele, I felt something.

The first stele in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum also had its own name: Zhaoqing Monument.

From the time he came to the stele and left, he only saw it for less than a quarter of an hour, and then turned around and left without hesitation.

Leaving Zhaoqing Monument and walking down the mountain road. When he turned a valley, he saw Cheshui. Looking at the time, Cheshui should have stood here for a while.

Zhexiu raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting that he would leave so soon.

"I don't like the excitement and don't want to crowd with people to watch the monument." Chen Changsheng gave an inconsensual explanation, looked at the smoke from the cooking stove floating in the forest far downstairs, and reminded him: "Everyone is awake. If you want to watch the monument without anyone disturbing it, it's better to be faster."

Zhe Xiu nodded and walked up the mountain road.

Chen Changsheng looked at his figure, hesitated for a while, and said, "I don't think it's useless to watch it for too long, and it may be harmful."

Cheshui ignored him.

Chen Changsheng continued to walk down the mountain and met a middle-aged man in white on the mountain road.

He recognized the middle-aged man as one of the stele attendants who explained the rules of the Heavenly Book Tomb to everyone yesterday.

Thinking of these stele attendants dedicating their youth and life to the Heavenly Book Tomb, everyone respected them, and he was no exception and saluted respectfully.

The middle-aged man did not return the gift, and did not even lit his head, but did not leave, but looked at him indifferently.

Chen Changsheng felt a little uneasy and asked, "What are the instructions for senior?"

"You are Chen Changsheng?" the middle-aged man asked looking at him, his tone very cold.

Chen Changsheng was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party who never left Tianshuling would know his name. He replied cautiously: "That's it."

"Are you the first in the Grand Court Examination this year?" the middle-aged man continued to ask. This time his tone was not only cold, but also a bit stern.

Chen Changsheng felt more and more uneasy, and he became more and more puzzled, and he replied: "Not bad."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "From you climbed the tomb to leaving, it's only a moment. Have you understood the Zhaoqing Monument in such a short time?"

Chen Changsheng explained: "I haven't, I..."

Before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man exclaimed: "Of course I know that you can't understand the Zhaoqing Monument in such a short time. Do you think you really have such extraordinary understanding? What I am talking about is that your attitude is so misbehaving. How stupid is it. Outside the Heavenly Book Mausoleum, the top ranking of the Great Court Test or some weight, but you have to figure it out that this is the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. This is the place where countless sages are humble and enlightened. I don't know how many Great Court Tests are first ranking, don't think that you can be arrogant with this title."

Listening to these squid words, Chen Changsheng was stunned. It would be fine if the seniors really gave guidance to the juniors, but it was obvious that the other party just wanted to humiliate him. What was strange was that since the other party could not leave the stele attendant of Tianshuling, why did he have so much hostility towards him?

The middle-aged man looked at him without hiding his contempt and disgust, and said, "I warn you that the Tianshuling is a holy land. No matter how big your background is, you must be in awe, and don't think about bringing in the marinade in the turbid world outside the mausoleum. You can tell the man who came to find you."

(Note: This poem uses a few sentences from Zhang Yanghao's Water Fairy. In addition, when I wrote the best rubbings outside the Tianshu Mausoleum, I almost slid them into the best selling peripheral... I overturned all the thoughts before the book was opened because I felt that they were not interesting enough and too complicated. I was thinking a few days ago and finally came up with a solution that I was more satisfied with. It was interesting and simple and powerful. But to be honest, my brain power was a bit overstretched these days. Today I will be one chapter. I will first take care of myself and then make the rest. In addition, I will start saving the manuscript tomorrow, silent...)
