Chapter 497 Monument without Words
The belt and pendants swayed and caressed, with occasional crisp sounds, ethereal and pleasant to the ears. Ruan Yushu, wearing a white dress, holding a guqin, slowly walked down the tower and stepped into the venue, with a cold expression, not arrogant.
After the ceremony, she knelt on the ground, placing the "Qifengqin" on her knees with the right tail on the left. Compared with Meng Qi's leisurely and freehand style just now, she was a little more calm, as if the place where she was kneeling was not the dusty ground, but the fairy palace illuminated by the moonlight, clean and pure.
Her every move was cold and self-assured, allowing everyone to slowly restrain their senses just now, calm their minds, and wait for the guqin music.
"Professionals are different..." Meng Qi sighed secretly.
Pressing the strings with his left hand and plucking with his right hand, a guqin sound like the cry of a wild goose in the sky opened the picturesque guqin scroll.
As Ruan Yushu played, Meng Qi's mind slowly seemed to be filled with the scene of clear autumn weather and vast clouds, which complemented the vast blue sky in front of him. There was scenery in the piano and piano in the scenery, which was spacious and lofty, and his mind was broad.
In the smooth and soothing melody, there were birds singing from time to time, as if there were birds circling in the sky, flying obliquely, or circling, lingering back and forth, setting off the beautiful scenery, as if it were real.
When Meng Qi felt the reality, suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and strange birds flew out of the forest, circling above Ruan Yushu, and the chirping sound was heard from time to time, which was exactly the same as the description of the piano!
The sound of the piano gradually became quieter, the muddy water was gone and the cold pond was clear, the smoke condensed and the evening mountain was purple, and a beautiful autumn scenery entered his mind.
The gurgling river water became more and more soothing, and the mirror-like lake became clearer, finally reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, the rising sun and flying birds, the sky in the water, and the water in the sky, which was beautiful beyond words. It was just an ordinary piano score and its own artistic conception, but it actually had a change of harmony between heaven and man!
The meaning of the song gradually faded, and the flying birds returned home, landing one by one and perching beside the phoenix piano.
The lingering sound lingered, lingering in the beams, and hundreds of birds sang together, lingering.
The way of nature, the manifestation of the state of mind, the vast and quiet, the transformation of heaven and man.
After a long time, the old emperor sighed: "This song should only exist in heaven, and it is rare to hear it in the world. It is worthy of being born with a heart of zither!"
Wang Zai narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was still intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the clear autumn air and the circling birds and geese, immersed in the feeling of vastness, openness, and tranquility. He whispered: "It is cold and distant, and the autumn is soothing. It attracts hundreds of birds to fly and the lake reflects the sky. No one can surpass it today! It is really a song of Pingshayan. Where in the world is there no soulmate?"
"For her, the unity of man and nature is within reach. It is true that she is born with a heart of zither..." Meng Qi's focus was different.
After this song, no one dared to leave.
"The way of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting is headed by Ruan Yushu. Do you have any objections?" The old emperor looked around at everyone.
There is no doubt that no one objected. Ruan Yushu won the first question and was awarded a cup of imperial wine.
The old emperor stroked the armrest and smiled slightly, saying, "The second topic is about principles and articles, and one's own path. You are all talented people, and you have always thought about the principles of heaven and man and your own path, and you are also people with extraordinary understanding... I have a rare treasure, called the "Wordless Monument", let you feel it and see who can gain more."
"Wordless Monument?" The surrounding noble family children and court officials were all shocked and whispered. Even the people in the political hall around the emperor and big figures such as Cui Qingyu were slightly moved.
Meng Qi was born in a wild way and had many shortcomings in his knowledge. He could only look at Wang Zai with a puzzled look.
"The Wordless Monument is a rare treasure. It is said that it is a thing from the ancient heaven, and it is close to a magic weapon to some extent." Wang Zai first summarized it.
"Magic weapon?" Meng Qi was quite speechless after hearing this.
Wang Zai said: "It is only in terms of value, but it has no corresponding power. It cannot be used for attack and may be destroyed by ordinary people. However, if one has just begun to practice and combines what he has gained, he will have insights when looking at this wordless stele, or integrate all martial arts, or realize the truth and perfect his state of mind. If the state and accumulation are sufficient, he can even directly create a magical skill."
"In the past, our dynasty attacked Kang and broke through Yingcheng, and obtained the emperor's sword. Taizu combined the humane skills contained in the sword with the contents of his own "Amazing Book" and looked at the wordless stele for seven days and seven nights. , and finally integrated the two into one. From then on, there was a distinction between the normal "Book of Shocking the World" and the human "Book of Shocking the World". The Eight Swords of Shocking the World also evolved into an imperial sword technique. The latter, with the blessing of the power of all living beings, was practiced faster, more powerful, and even had fewer obstacles, and gradually became the mainstream of the royal family. "And the royal family has never lacked strong men who have reached the half-step Dharmakaya since then." No wonder Zhao Jingshi was defeated by the magician and his mind was injured, but he was still able to slowly recover and become a half-step Dharmakaya... Meng Qi suddenly realized, and then joy surged in his heart. Comprehension is our strong point! Who among the people present has comprehended the "Tathagata Palm"? Well, after Xuan Zhen opened the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, he might be able to see it, but he didn't comprehend it every day... These things did not affect Meng Qi's mood, not only because this is his own strength, but also because if he could comprehend something, it might be good for his own cultivation, and even gain a lot of good deeds! After being shocked, the people around were all eager to try. The "Wordless Monument" is a secret treasure of the royal family, priceless, and never allowed to be viewed by outsiders. Today, the emperor is really generous. This Qionghua Banquet will be recorded in history!
They are no longer afraid of losing face. It doesn't matter if they lose. As long as they can understand something, they may benefit from it for the rest of their lives!
Seeing Meng Qi's face showing joy, Wang Zai laughed and said, "Xiao Meng, are you sure? Are you ready to go?"
Always calling Su Xiandi Su Xiandi seems unfamiliar. After entering the capital, Wang Zai changed the name.
Meng Qi straightened his back and coughed: "Everyone wants to try, I'd better be humble and wait for the end."
The "big shot" usually appears last!
Being in control of his style, he changed his younger brother's name to someone.
"That makes sense." Wang Zai nodded lightly and prepared to wait for a while.
A stone tablet flew out of the old emperor's hand and landed under the high platform. The stone was gray and white, simple and old, with many fine cracks. There was no word on it, not even patterns, but it felt as deep as the sea, and it was difficult to see the bottom. A rare treasure indeed!
"One cup of tea for each person." As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, the elites who had not dared to leave the stage before left their seats one after another, almost queuing up.
People from all the top families were half delighted to hear it and half frowned slightly, wondering why the emperor was so generous all of a sudden.
…………
Outside the imperial city, "Doumu Yuanjun" changed his appearance and dressed up in blue robes and plain skirts.
Next to her is a man with a withered face and a fierce appearance, like a street gangster. He is the transformation of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun.
"Guangcheng confirms that Gu Xiaosang is in the palace, and everyone in Luo Jiao should do the same." Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun said using a secret method.
Doumu Yuanjun looked at the palace with deep eyes and asked in a low voice: "Have everyone gone to the Qionghua Banquet?"
"Yes, do we want to break in directly? This thing is getting weirder and weirder. There is no chance that we will meet the 'Dharma King of the World', so it is better to be cautious." Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun frowned.
The Dharma King who has transcended the world, the leader of the Luo Sect who has attained the Vacuum Dharma Body.
Doumu Yuanjun gave a rare sneer: "Let's wait and see what happens. If we hadn't encountered similar things before, we really wouldn't understand what they were up to..."
She seemed to have remembered something and felt a little sure.
"Similar things?" Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun asked in confusion.
Doumu Yuanjun nodded slightly: "A few years ago..."
…………
The sun was high, and it was almost noon. One after another, talented people returned in vain in front of the "Wordless Monument". None of them could realize anything, and no visions were triggered. People suspected that it was an ordinary stone tablet. The so-called insights are pure lies.
There were not many important officials in the imperial court, and they could only bring one person to the banquet. At this time, there were only about ten people who had not comprehended the wordless monument.
Wang Zai sat in front of the wordless monument, closed his eyes and drank a cup of tea. His breath fluctuated several times, but in the end there was no change.
He stood up and saluted, returned with a long sigh, and said to Meng Qi: "Brother Yu, although he has read a lot of classics and history, and feels that he has accumulated a lot, and his aura of greatness is always in his body, but after all, he is a little short of it. Without his own gains, it is really difficult to understand."
In other words, only those who have at least initially found their own path can realize it? Meng Qipin figured out the meaning of Wang Zai's words.
Ruan Yushu sat in front of the stone tablet with his piano in his arms, feeling nothing.
Cui Zhehengjian sat in front of the stone tablet, feeling nothing.
The monk beside the prince, who was one of heaven and man, sat in front of the stone tablet and felt nothing.
At this time, Yan Chong swept out of the high platform, as if he was walking on waves, and walked to the wordless monument. He sat with his eyes closed and his sword across his knees.
Meng Qi calmed down his thoughts and looked carefully. Yan Chong had been perfecting the unity of heaven and man for a long time. He had struggled far longer than himself. He didn't know where he was now and whether he had begun to find his own path...
The white horse passed by, time passed, and I gradually got closer to a cup of tea, but there was still no movement on the stone monument and the surroundings.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tide in the semi-empty space, rushing and surging, dark blue gradually appeared, deep and restrained, brewing a storm, everyone who saw it was surprised.
boom!
The tide broke out, the sword broke through the waves, Yan Chong rose into the air, and slowly fell down, with a look of emotion and joy on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"It seems that he was only one layer away from finding the path. This realization will save him at least a year of effort. Even if he cannot reach the sky in one step in the future, he will not be too far away..." Meng Qi said with emotion.
He has great respect for people like Yan Chong who came from a small sect and got to where they are now, because it requires more effort and effort than others.
As for reaching the sky in one step, it is rare. Even if you find a way initially, you may not be able to do it. If you don't see He Jiu, you have to rely on the qi to pull you up, and the stimulation of life and death to break through?
"Brother Yan worked hard and traveled around to seek enlightenment. It is normal for him to have this enlightenment." Wang Zai's face was full of admiration.
Seeing that Yan Chong had some insights, Jin Wang Zhao Yi, who had not reached the realm before and could not see the wordless monument, ended up in person. He had already relied on the power of all living beings to "unify heaven and man", and then opened the entrance between the eyebrows.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't comprehend it.
After Zhao Yi, the prince came to an end. He had opened the entrance for more than a year and was about to communicate with the inside and outside.
Sitting in front of the wordless monument, the prince looked peaceful and smiling. After a while, golden lotus flowers emerged from the ground and slowly bloomed. The brilliance spread on the stone monument, as if there were Sanskrit characters.
"Huh, within half a year, the prince will be promoted to the location." Wang Zai sighed.
After opening the entrance between the eyebrows, you can also adjust the inner world and determine the path initially, but the paths you can choose are very limited, and you basically cannot be completely in harmony with yourself. After all, there is no regret at the entrance.
Meng Qi looked around and found that the people who had not yet been punished were himself, Zhao Heng, Qi Zhengyan, Fan Changmiao, Xuanzhen and Bai Qigu.
