Chapter 223 Booklet is touching
Liangbanhu and Qijian also quickly reacted and began to look for things with Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi. The thatched house was not big, and in a very short time, it was flipping through everyone, and even the stove and water tank were not leaked. For a moment, dust was flying everywhere in the house.
Tang Sanshiliu did not react, thinking about what Chen Changsheng said before, chasing him and constantly asking: "You remove all the quilts, so what will we sleep later? Although the quilts left by Senior Xun Mei are indeed sour and smelly, at least there is a cover. I tell you, I will never cover that broken skin tonight, that guy is hot."
Everyone thought that the young master of the Tang family in Wenshui was indeed very different from others since childhood. At this time, he was only worried about whether he could sleep comfortably. Most of the disciples of Lishan Sword Sect came from a bitter cold family and did not like Tang Sanshiliu's usual style. At this time, he was even more angry and did not pay attention to him.
Chen Changsheng had just finished looking under the kang, his face was covered with dust. Listening to Tang Sanshiliu's thoughts behind him, he stopped helplessly and said, "The new quilt will be delivered here later. Please be at ease."
Tang Sanshiliu was a little relieved and asked curiously: "What are you looking for?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I didn't tell you, Senior Xun Mei's notes."
"What notes?" Tang Sanshiliu obviously hadn't reacted yet.
"He interprets the notes of the Heavenly Book Monument." Chen Changsheng walked outside the house, looked at the fence, wondering if it would be hidden in the ground. If that was the case, it would be rare to find it.
Tang Sanshiliu then understood why everyone's reaction was so great. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and said, "This is an important thing, you have to find it out quickly."
The thatched house was quiet, leaving only the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and the sound of knocking on the walls. However, the tranquility did not last for too long. Tang Sanshiliu's voice sounded again with a headache: "I said, if there were really notes, who would the notes belong to?"
Guan Feibai was standing on the stove and looking at the bacon with the beam hanging on it. He heard this and said angrily: "Whoever finds it first will be the one who will be."
Tang Sanshiliu said without hesitation, "Why? We obviously moved in first."
Qijian wiped the sweat beads on his face and said seriously: "Senior Xun Mei said that he left this thatched house for all of us when he was seriously injured in front of the Shinto last night."
Cheshui said with a expressionless face: "Whoever finds first will be the one who will be."
Tang Sanshiliu's eyes rolled, thinking that there were four people in Lishan Sword Sect, and seeing that they were looking for it so hard now, they were afraid that they would find it first, so they made up their minds.
"We give in and no matter who finds it first, we will look at it together."
Dust was flying, more fences in the courtyard fell, grass on the eaves was lifted, and even the ground beside the well was lifted, and the entire thatched house was about to be broken up by everyone. Finally, a shout of surprise was heard.
"Finished"
Everyone was overjoyed and rushed back to the house in the voice. Tang Sanshiliu had a thin book in his hand. Tang Sanshiliu's expression was a little complicated, so he was naturally very happy to find the notes left by Xun Mei. The problem was that he had already proposed in advance that no matter who found it, everyone would read it together...
"It's better to let you find it, or I'll be happier." He put the booklet on the table and said with regret: "Why did I let me find it?
"Who was looking for it there?" Chen Changsheng asked curiously.
Tang Sanshiliu pointed to the square table in front of him and said, "Just put it under the foot of the table, didn't you see it?"
It was quiet, and everyone had already eaten two meals on this small square table in the kitchen. But who would have thought that Xun Mei would put such an important note under the foot of the table, and the so-called darkness under the lamp or this is the reason. Thinking that he almost demolished the house, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Liang Banhu looked at Tang Sanshiliu and said, "I didn't expect that you have a set of things to find."
Tang Sanshiliu said: "At Wenshui's home, there are silver notes under the foot of the table in the old man's house. I often went to steal when I was a child, so I took a habit of glance at it. Who would have thought it was really under the foot of the table?"
It was still quiet. Everyone, including Chen Changsheng, lost interest in talking to him. They were not from the same world, so it was really difficult to communicate happily and smoothly.
The dust gradually subsided, wiped the tables and chairs again, cleaned up the house, and after everything was done, seven people gathered around the small square table, staring at the table in a daze under the dim light of the oil lamp
Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi raised their heads and looked at each other. They remembered that Xun Mei specifically mentioned that she left this thatched house for them before her death, and said that he liked tranquility and did not want more people to live in. At that time, they felt a little strange, and now they understood that there was such a deep meaning hidden in it.
The most important legacy that Xun Mei has left behind for thirty-seven years of watching the stele in the Tianshu Mausoleum should not be this thatched house or the three sour and smelly bedding, but the thin old book on the table.
Gou Hanshi opened the first page of the book, and six heads came over. This book is Xun Mei's notes, which records his understanding of the stele when he saw it, and more of them were his various ideas and attempts before interpreting the stele. In the dense small characters, it was a full thirty-seven years.
Xun Mei has been in Tianshu Mausoleum for thirty-seven years and has been interpreting dozens of Tianshu Monuments. Naturally, it is impossible to describe the process of interpreting each monument without omission. But just like to all those who view the monument, the first stone monument in the former monument has a very different meaning. Decades ago, his feelings when he first saw this monument, as well as his subsequent method choices and psychological changes when he tried to interpret the monument, were recorded very clearly.
The Heavenly Book Monument remains unchanged forever, but the viewers are different. The methods of the predecessors to interpret the stele will naturally not be used by later generations. Otherwise, like the elders of the Lishan Sword Sect, who had long taught their methods of resolving the stele to disciples such as Gou Hanshi, the process and valuable experience of the predecessors can provide ideas for later generations and avoid detours. Xun Mei has been watching the stele for thirty-seven years. In addition to the stele attendants who cannot leave the tomb in her life, there are also saints who can watch the stele at will and the wind and rain from all directions. How many people can have richer experience in viewing the stele than him? If this thin book is circulated, it will inevitably become the target of countless forces.
The boys sitting around the table knew very well what an opportunity this was, so they naturally cherished it very much. They stared at the words on the booklet, and kept thinking and absorbing it as Gou Hanshi's fingers flipped.
There was silence in the thatched hut.
I don’t know how long it took, Gou Hanshi covered the thin book. Tang Sanshiliu was so immersed in his mind that he stood up and said in surprise: “What’s wrong? Open it quickly and take a look.
Chen Changsheng said: "There is still a lot of time. If you look at it slowly, you will always have time to digest it. Moreover, we have not even passed the first monument now, so it is enough to finish reading this section."
Hearing this, Tang Sanshiliu sat down quietly.
Gou Hanshi looked at the notes in front of him and sighed: "Senior is indeed a senior."
Everyone also had the same feelings in their hearts.
It was clearly written in the notes. It took only two days for Xun Mei to untie the Zhaoqing Monument. What shocked and admired them even more was that in the first two days, Xun Mei only tried two methods of understanding the stele. In the long years of viewing the stele, either because of boredom or because the stele of heaven and calligraphy behind him was too difficult to crack, he interpreted the Zhaoqing Monument again when he was free, and finally found seven methods to untie the Zhaoqing Monument and seven successful methods of solving the stele. What is this concept?
Cheshui, Guan Feibai and the other five people, because they had been watching the stele in the Tianshu Mausoleum for too long during the day and had too much mental loss, and they had to experience and absorb the experiences in Xun Mei's notes, they had already fallen asleep. Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi had limited time to observe the stele and had reached the Tonggu Realm and were in good spirits. They stood in the courtyard and looked at the stars in the night sky, without the idea of resting.
"I want to go and have a look."
Chen Changsheng looked at the stars in the night sky and thought about the sixth method used by Xun Mei on the notes. He suddenly felt an impulse, wanting to see the changes in the inscriptions under the starlight.
Gou Hanshi said, "I am just thinking about it."
They walked away at will, and the two walked through the Orange Garden and towards the Tianshu Mausoleum. Soon after, they arrived in front of the mausoleum. The only road between the mausoleum was like a jade belt under the illumination of the stars, which was very beautiful.
Just as he was about to climb the tomb, Chen Changsheng suddenly stopped and looked at him and asked, "You have read the monument for two days, and you should have understood it, otherwise it would be unreasonable."
It’s not unreasonable, it’s unreasonable, because from Qingteng Banquet to the Grand Court Examination, he fought against Gou Hanshi for three games, and he knew very well what kind of person the other party was. Although he was the top spot in the Grand Court Examination, he knew that it was just because he was less afraid of death than the other party, or he was more afraid of death. In terms of true cultivation level and even knowledge, he was much worse than Gou Hanshi.
In the afternoon, Chen Changsheng was sure that he was only one step away from the stele of dissection. After seeing Xun Mei's notes, he became firm in this idea. Gou Hanshi had been reading it for two days, but he still couldn't understand the inscriptions without reason.
Gou Hanshi was silent for a moment and said, "I want to wait for junior brothers."
As long as he is willing, he can untie the Zhaoqing Monument at any time and go to the second Heavenly Book Monument. Regarding this, he does not want to hide it from Chen Changsheng.
How attractive is the Heavenly Book Monument to the Taoist monk? Look at the pale face with folded sleeves and seven rooms, Liang Banhu's previous dismay. In order to equate with the same disciple, he deliberately slows down the speed of the monument? If others say this, Chen Changsheng would never believe it, but he is Gou Hanshi.
Chen Changsheng didn't like Xu Yourong and did not value the engagement at all. However, because of these things, he could not have any favors for Qiushanjun and Lishan Sword Sect, but he was Gou Hanshi.
Gou Hanshi said: "There is another reason that I am waiting for someone. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to see him in two days. Then you will introduce you to him."
"Aren't you curious about what the inscription of the second Heavenly Book Monument looks like?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Gou Hanshi said: "Of course I want to know, but just like what Senior Xun Mei wrote in his notes, different methods of solving the stele represent different fun, so it's okay to stay for two more days."
I continued to climb the tomb and soon came to Zhaoqing Monument. The night stele was very quiet and clear. More than a dozen people were scattered on the stone plaza in the forest. The arrival of Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi caused a commotion. The two young scholars in front of the Monument suddenly turned cold, and they did not hide their hostility.
(Wow, I wrote it out, at least today.)
Chapter completed!
