Chapter 222 Ten Thousand Ways to Solve the Stele (Part 2)
To solve the stele is not to solve the puzzles on the stele of heavenly script, because the complex lines or patterns on the stele are not problems, but some information. To solve the stele is to understand the information on the stele of heavenly script. So, since the stele of heavenly script is not a title, it is natural that there is no standard answer.
Just like the stars shine on all rivers, the same starlight will have their own different beauty when falling on different rivers. The inscription of the Heavenly Book Monument remains unchanged. How to understand it is the matter of the person who observes the stele. Based on the knowledge and literacy of the stele, practice realm and even life experience of the stele, the same inscription will naturally gain different understandings. So which understanding is correct? Or the previous sentence, without a standard answer, the Heavenly Book Monument cannot speak, and can only distinguish it in the simplest and most magical method.
For many years since the Heavenly Book Monument has been in this continent, humans have tried to interpret the monument for many years. They have developed countless methods or schools of interpretation. Now they are often used or mentioned. There are dozens of schools, among which three methods of interpretation monument are the most respected and can be said to be the mainstream.
The interpretation of the Heavenly Book Monument is the most authoritative National Church Ligong School. The method of interpreting the monument focuses on sticking to its shape and believes that the true nature should be carried out according to the picture. The southern sect is the Saint Maiden Peak, while the method of interpreting the monument focuses on the meaning of the monument. It believes that the inscriptions of the Heavenly Book Monument should not be understood stereotypedly, but should be understood with spiritual consciousness. The third mainstream method of interpreting the monument, on the surface, takes into account the characteristics of the northern and southern sects of the state religion, but in fact, it is extremely firmly believed that the inscriptions on the Heavenly Book Monument should obviously be sword intent, sword posture and sword moves. This sect is called the Art School.
How to understand the Heavenly Book Monument is a very important thing. The reason why the state religion was divided into two systems in the north and south was related to this. Until today, the practitioners of the Southern Saint Peak Sect are still resentful of the right of the Ligong to control the Heavenly Book Monument. According to the different emphasis on the method of interpreting the stele, different practitioners naturally understand different things from the Heavenly Book Monument. What is wonderful is that whether it is the method of interpreting the stele in Ligong or the method of interpreting the stele in the Saint Peak Sect, they all work in a sense. When a practitioner enters the Heavenly Book Monument tomb, he will inevitably gain something. In turn, he becomes more and more determined that the method of interpreting the stele in the stele in the stele in the stele in the stele in the stele in the stele in the stele in the stele in the stele, he will inevitably gain something when he enters the Heavenly Book Monument tomb. In turn, he becomes more and more determined that the method of interpreting the stele in the stele in the stele is the absolutely correct method. Other schools are just opportunistic. Even if he can successfully interpret the stele in one go, he will eventually get farther and farther away from the great way.
As a Zhou person, Tang Sanshiliu naturally believed that Li Gong's method of solving the stele was orthodox. Guan Feibai was a disciple of Lishan Sword Sect, so of course he thought that only the divine sense of the stele was the only right way. He could not bear it when listening to Tang Sanshiliu's tone. He started to mock him through the door. Even if you don't come to tease me, I would like to greet your relatives, let alone being ridiculed by others, his face suddenly changed and he slapped the table, and he left with a series of swear words. For a moment, the thatched hut became very lively and the battle continued.
After a while, Tang Sanshiliu and Guan Feibai finally got tired, and the room became quieter. Then, with the door as the line, two similar scenes appeared in the inner and outer rooms - Guan Feibai outside, Liangbanhu and Qijian looked at their senior brother Gou Hanshi, while Tang Sanshiliu and Zhexiu inside were staring at Chen Changsheng and silently.
From the Qingteng Banquet to the Dacha Examination, the National Education College and the Lishan Sword Sect have always been hostile. Whether it is the engagement between Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong or the continuous competition, there are countless grievances between the two sides. Although Zhexiu is a latecomer, in order to open the way for Chen Changsheng in the Dacha Examination, he made a ruthless move to defeat Qijian and Guan Feibai in a row. In the control of Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, this opposition did not lose control. Last night, the two sides even slept under the same roof, but this does not mean that the grievances were gone. At this time, the debate or slander between Guan Feibai and Tang Sanshiliu has developed to this point, and it is no longer sustainable. Naturally, someone needs to stand up to decide the outcome.
Of course, those who are valued are Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng who are reading Daozang through.
A night breeze blew, and the wooden door creaked slowly. The four sons of Lishan Sword Sect and the three of the National Education College looked at each other, and there was a silence.
Gou Hanshi suddenly looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Which method do you think is more feasible?"
He didn't ask which one was right, because it was hard to say right or wrong.
Chen Changsheng thought about it and did not answer immediately.
The Taoist sect explains many schools of interpretation of stele interpretation, and the three mainstream methods of interpretation of stele interpretation are recorded very well. Since he read the Taoist sect, he is naturally familiar with these methods of interpretation of stele interpretation. But he didn't know why, when he interpreted the Zhaoqing Monument today, he deliberately did not use these three methods, but took a strange and inevitable difficult new path.
"I think... these three methods are not necessarily correct."
Chen Changsheng gave an answer that no one expected, and he used the word "correct" to show that he thought there was something right or wrong about this matter.
After hearing his words, the people in the thatched hut were very surprised, including Tang Sanshiliu.
Gou Hanshi frowned slightly and said, "Can you not understand the heavenly book?"
There are many ways to interpret the stele inscriptions circulating on the mainland, and many people, even some priests in the national religion, believe that the heavenly books are uninterpreted. All attempts to interpret the inscriptions of the heavenly books are ridiculous. Even people with great wisdom can only understand some of the information that the inscriptions want to see for mankind, and it is impossible to see the full picture of the true meaning of the way of heaven.
"No, I just think that the common schools of stele interpretation in the world now have deviated from the original meaning of the stele of the Heavenly Book."
Chen Changsheng said in a plain tone: "Whether you stick to your form, take your meaning or imitate your technique, the purpose of interpreting the inscriptions of the Heavenly Book is to practice Taoism. But in fact, the humans who first saw the Heavenly Book Monument, or the first person who understood the Heavenly Book Monument, did not know how to practice... So I think these three methods of understanding the stele are not correct."
The thatched hut became quieter, because everyone suddenly found that Chen Changsheng's statement was very reasonable. Gou Hanshi shook his head and said, "If you can't practice, you will naturally not understand the wonderful meaning of practice, but we can practice... Just like a child who cannot read, you will never be able to read the beauty of human poetry and songs, but we can. According to your statement, do we have to forget all the knowledge we have learned and become ignorant children in order to understand the original meaning of the Heavenly Book Monument.
Tang Sanshiliu said a little uncertain: "You have a innocent heart and are innocent and innocent, so that you can get close to the great way. This is what the Taoist scripture has always said... Maybe that's true?"
"Abandoning the saints and wisdom is not to make us really fools." Qi Jian responded with a clear voice.
Gou Hanshi raised his hand and signaled not to discuss this issue for now. He looked at Chen Changsheng and asked, "Then what method did you use to interpret the monument today."
Chen Changsheng did not hide anything, and told him what he felt about the stone tablet before he watched the morning glow. At the same time, he also talked about the changes in the scenery he observed in the courtyard, saying: "If the inscription is an immutable object of understanding, why do the information interpreted by everyone is completely different? So I think the meaning of the inscription should be in the change."
Gou Hanshi recalled for a moment and said, "Seven hundred years ago, Prince Chen Zizhan of Ruyang entered the Heavenly Book Tomb to view the stele and wrote an essay to record the events. It seems that this is your opinion.
"Yes." Chen Changsheng said: "The Prince of Ruyang spent the last year to understand the seventeen stone tablets, and among the royal family, he could rank among the top ten."
Gou Hanshi said: "I think this method is still unfeasible."
Chen Changsheng asked seriously: "Why?"
Gou Hanshi said: "Because the inscriptions of Qianling Tianshu Monument are extremely numerous, the breeze is full of stars, the sun is dark and the snow is dark, and the changes in light and shadow are even more difficult to count. It is impossible to conduct overall observations. A person's observation pictures are too small. Even if you ignore these, you have to find the changes in it and always have to choose an object. How do you choose?
Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment and said, "By the feeling."
Gou Hanshi no longer says anything.
The thatched hut became quiet again.
The heavenly books cannot be interpreted, and the heavenly books can be interpreted at will. If it only sounds, the methods of explaining the stele tonight that everyone said make sense.
Different practitioners use different methods of understanding the monument, and there is no meaning in communicating such things.
Qijian hesitated for a while and asked: "How did you think of this method?... It's so rebellious."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "I only ask one question for all kinds of methods to solve the stele in the world. Is it easy to use?"
"It makes sense, just like the bacon you made before, whether the tube is sautéed or fried onion or garlic sprouts, just ask, is it delicious?"
Gou Hanshi said with a smile, then his smile gradually faded, looking at him and said, "But I suggest you don't tell others this."
Chen Changsheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he woke up.
If he was still the young Taoist priest from Xining Town to Kyoto, no matter what method he used to interpret the monument, no one would bother to pay attention to it. However, his current identity has changed a lot. In a sense, he was the person selected by the palace. Many of his actions may represent the will of the state religion in the eyes of the world.
Zhexiu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, looked at the four people in Lishan Sword Sect expressionlessly and said, "That depends on what you think."
Gou Hanshi smiled and said nothing. Although he was gentle, he had his own pride.
Everyone stopped discussing this matter and started washing and preparing to go to bed.
When Chen Changsheng packed his notes, he suddenly felt aroused his heart. He walked to the outer room, handed the notes to Gou Hanshi, and said, "Please help me see, this is a moment of my choice based on my feelings."
Gou Hanshi was a little surprised. The previous debate was one thing, and it was another to show the inscription he understood to others. He thought about it, took out a booklet from his arms, handed it over, and said, "I have made some preparations to visit the Heavenly Book Mausoleum to view the stele in the past few years. This booklet contains some notes I excerpted."
Chen Changsheng smiled, Gou Hanshi also smiled. The two of them looked at each other and suddenly became quiet. The smile on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by a shocked expression.
The boys who had finished washing outside the house returned to the house and saw such a scene.
"It should be in the house." Gou Hanshi said.
Chen Changsheng said: "I didn't see any notes when I was dismantling during the day, and I didn't find a piece of paper."
Tang Sanshiliu rubbed his wet hair and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about?"
"Xun Mei's notes." Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi said in unison.
Then they turned around at the same time and started rummaging around the room.
(I said I saved the manuscript, and I saved a hammer. Today I will write down the chapter tomorrow. It took five hours to fly... It's really... By the way, I said the game activation code yesterday, but I didn't expect that I would receive so many replies on WeChat. I will go to the game company to ask for the activation code. If it is coming, I will send it to everyone through WeChat tomorrow.)
