Chapter 224: Lighting the Lamp to Look at the Monument at Night (Part 1)
The night is already dark.
Unlike yesterday, there are not so many people who are still intoxicated in front of the monument, who are reluctant to leave, and who are still in front of the monument, have relatively good spiritual power, so that they can support it until now. Chen Changsheng looked around and saw two candidates from Zhaixing Academy, the senior sister of Saint Peak, the little girl named Ye Xiaolian, and several candidates who have seen in the Grand Court exam but have not remembered the origin of the name. The most conspicuous ones are the three scholars of Huaiyuan who are closest to the monument. In the night, their plain long gowns are very conspicuous.
Take a casual look and you can see the problem between the scenes - the closer people to the Beilu, the stronger their realm is. I don’t know if this is an implicit rule or if there has been a dispute.
Three scholars from Huaiyuan are closest to the Beilu.
Zhong Hui stood in front of the hut, watching the monument silently, while his two classmates stared at Chen Changsheng vigilantly. Chen Changsheng was not surprised by this. In the Great Court Trial Battle, Zhong Hui was defeated by Luo Luo, and Huo Guang was even seriously injured by him and could not continue to persevere. Huaiyuan's hostility towards the National Education College was taken for granted.
Gou Hanshi and he felt something after reading Xun Mei's notes. They came to see the stele of the starlight and naturally walked towards the stele. Unexpectedly, the two of them took steps again and caused a stir around them. More than ten eyes moved with their steps, and their emotions were different. If they wanted to walk to the Heavenly Book Monument, they would inevitably occupy the position of the three people in Huaiyuan.
The two scholars from Huaiyuan did not give way. They looked at Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng with a cold expression and said, "Come first and then come."
This sounded very reasonable, but a sneer rang out from the crowd outside the monument: "You said before that your senior brother was the first-class leader of the Great Court, so we asked us to give way. Why didn't you say anything about coming first and coming later? Now that the first-class leader and second-class leader of the Great Court are coming, can you not let it go?"
The two Huaiyuan scholars were furious when they heard this.
Only then did Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng realize that these things had happened in the court before. They disagreed with the behavior of the scholars of Huaiyuan and continued to walk forward. When they walked past the two scholars of Huaiyuan, they didn't even look at each other. They went directly to the front of the stele and stood behind Zhong Hui.
The two Huaiyuan scholars were even more angry and wanted to say something. Thinking about what the voice in the crowd said before, they could not tell at all, and they were even more afraid to do it.
Zhong Hui's eyes were withdrawn from the monument, and he turned around and bowed seriously to Gou Hanshi. When he looked at Chen Changsheng who was standing beside Gou Hanshi, he had no respect in his eyes.
A young talent as famous as him doesn't have a good impression of Chen Changsheng. Even though Chen Changsheng was in the Great Trial and had surpassed them in his realm, they still thought that Chen Changsheng was just lucky or was taken care of by the great figures in the national religion.
"I haven't seen you in the past two days. Are you so confident about the escort? Or do you find that your luck has been used up and you gave up?
Zhong Hui looked at him indifferently and said, "In the past years, the first place in the Grand Court Examination will be able to untie the first heavenly scripture monument within five days at the latest. You are the first place in our list of this year. If time is used too long, it will only embarrass us. I hope you don't disappoint me."
Chen Changsheng was looking at the stone tablet under the stars, his mind was in the changes of the complex lines. He was puzzled and asked casually: "We are not familiar with each other. Even if I can't untie the Heavenly Book Monument, what does it have to do with you? Why are you disappointed again?"
Zhong Hui was stunned when he heard this, took a deep breath, and said angrily: "It's so sharp-toned."
Chen Changsheng did not respond, walked directly to him and said, "Please give up."
The place where Zhong Hui is now standing is the best viewing position in front of the Monument. It is closest to the Monument and will not block the starlight. Hearing this, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and clenched his fists.
In everyone's opinion, Chen Changsheng's first sentence was obvious ignorance, and the second sentence was seemingly polite and tough. Even the person who made a speech before mocking the scholar of Huaiyuan, he thought he was humiliating the other party. Only Gou Hanshi looked at Chen Changsheng's expression and guessed that he was not, he just wanted to ask Zhong Huireng to let him go.
He shook his head and followed Chen Changsheng toward Zhong Hui.
The long gown trembled slightly in the night wind, and Zhong Hui was extremely angry. The other two classmates in Huaiyuan were the same. The three of them could attack Chen Changsheng at any time. However, Gou Hanshi stood between them and Chen Changsheng, which forced them to calm down, remembering the difference between the Seizhao Realm and the Tonggu Realm... They are no match for Gou Hanshi, in other words, they can't beat Chen Changsheng.
If you can't beat it, anger will have no power. The two scholars from Huaiyuan were still angry, while Zhong Hui forced himself to calm down and took a few steps back, giving way to Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng. Seeing Chen Changsheng's back no longer speak, the corners of his lips raised slightly and showed a sneer. - As he said before, Chen Changsheng rarely appeared in front of the stele hut in the past two days. In his opinion, he must be pretending to be a pretender. He didn't believe that Chen Changsheng had good luck in the Great Court Trial in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum. Can you still see this stele?
The starlight fell on the shining monument. The complex lines seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, and it seemed like mercury was slowly flowing in it. An indescribable vivid feeling appeared in front of Chen Changsheng. He did not mobilize his spiritual consciousness, did not let the true energy in the meridians move with the lines, nor did he try to realize any sword momentum from the direction of those lines. He just watched, felt, and felt. He once again confirmed that the pictures he saw in the morning were real, and the pictures he imagined in the courtyard in the afternoon were also real, and his smile gradually emerged.
"Have you gained something?" Gou Hanshi asked in surprise as he looked at his expression changing.
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "I was a little hesitant because I thought it was too simple, but there were a few words in my notes that reminded me."
Gou Hanshi said: "Do you still insist on using the most primitive solution?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Or stupider, slower, but it's best for me."
The stele house was quiet all around, and everyone was listening carefully, including Zhong Hui. Chen Changsheng and Gou Hanshi are two recognized people in the world who read the Taoist sect. How could they miss the discussion on interpreting the stele of Heavenly Book? Just what are the notes mentioned by Chen Changsheng?
"What is the most primitive solution? The transformation line is numbered?" The senior sister of Saint Peak was familiar with Gou Hanshi and asked curiously two steps forward.
Gou Hanshi glanced at Chen Changsheng.
"We thought the most primitive solution was to count the true essence consciousness and tricks, not to turn into numbers, but..." Chen Changsheng turned around and looked at the girl on the Saint Peak, explained seriously, and was about to express his feelings and explain his views. He believed that the true meaning of the Heavenly Book should be hidden in the changes in the inscription, but unexpectedly...
A cold shout came from the night.
"Extremely ridiculous"
A middle-aged man came to the venue at some point, and his face looked extremely cold.
When Zhong Hui and three other scholars from Huaiyuan saw this person, they looked happy and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.: Have you seen the uncle of the master."
Chen Changsheng discovered that the middle-aged man was the attendant who scolded him severely in the morning. He realized at this time that this person was actually an elder of Huaiyuan.
The middle-aged man walked to the stele, looked at Gou Hanshi and Chen Changsheng, and shouted sternly: "It is said that you two juniors read Daozang all the time, but they didn't expect that they were two ignorant children who could only speak loudly."
