Chapter 497: Monument Without Words

The belt and pendants swayed and rubbed, 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, placed 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 calm, 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.

Undoubtedly, 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. 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 doubtful eyes.

"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 damaged 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 realm 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. Since then, there has been 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, can be cultivated faster, more powerful, and even with 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 them all had burning eyes and were eager to try. The "Wordless Monument" was a secret treasure of the royal family, priceless, and never allowed to be viewed by outsiders. The emperor was really generous today. This Qionghua Banquet will surely be recorded in history!

They were no longer afraid of being embarrassed. It didn't matter if they lost. As long as they could understand something, they would benefit from it for the rest of their lives!

Seeing Meng Qi's happy face, Wang Zai laughed and said, "Little Meng, are you sure? Are you ready to go?"

Always calling him "Su Xiandi" seemed unfamiliar, so Wang Zai changed his address after entering Beijing.

Meng Qi straightened his back and coughed, "Everyone wants to try, so I'd better be humble and wait for the last."

"Big shots" usually appear last!

In order to show his style, he changed his name from "little brother" to "someone".

"That makes sense." Wang Zai nodded gently 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 a pattern, but it felt as deep as the sea, and it was difficult to see its bottom. It was indeed a rare treasure!

"One cup of tea per person." As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, the talents who had not dared to go out before left their seats one after another, almost queuing up.

The people from the top families were half happy to see it and half frowned slightly, not understanding why the emperor was so generous all of a sudden.

…………

Outside the imperial city, "Dou Mu Yuan Jun" changed her appearance and dressed in a green dress.

Next to her was a man with a sallow face and a fierce look, like a street thug. It was the transformation of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhen Jun.

"Guangcheng confirmed that Gu Xiaosang was in the palace, and the people of Luojiao should be the same." Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhen Jun said with a secret method.

Dou Mu Yuan Jun looked at the palace with a deep gaze and asked in a low voice: "Are all those who should attend the Qionghua Banquet gone?"

"Yes, are we going to break in directly? This matter is getting more and more weird. It's possible that we will meet the 'Du Shi Fa Wang'. It's better to be cautious." Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhen Jun frowned.

Du Shi Fa Wang, the leader of Luojiao who has achieved the vacuum body.

Dou Mu Yuanjun sneered: "Let's wait and see what happens. If we hadn't encountered similar things before, we really don't understand what they are doing..."

She seemed to remember something and had some confidence.

"Similar things?" Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun asked doubtfully.

Dou Mu Yuanjun nodded slightly: "A few years ago..."

…………

The sun was high, and it was almost noon. One by one, the talented people returned empty-handed in front of the "Wordless Monument". None of them could understand anything, nor did they cause any strange phenomena. People suspected that it was just an ordinary stone monument. The so-called enlightenment was pure deception.

There were not many important officials in the court, and they could only bring one person to the banquet. At this time, there were only a dozen people who had not understood 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 there was no change after all.

He stood up and bowed, then sighed and returned, saying to Meng Qi: "Although I have read a lot of classics, history, and literature, I feel that I have accumulated a lot, and the great spirit is always in harmony with my body, but after all, there is still a little difference. Without personal gains, it is really difficult to understand."

In other words, only those who have at least found their own path can understand? Meng Qi understood the meaning of Wang Zai's words.

Ruan Yushu sat in front of the stone tablet with a zither in his arms, and felt nothing.

Cui Zhe sat in front of the stone tablet with a sword across his body, and felt nothing.

The monk who was in harmony with nature beside the prince sat in front of the stone tablet, and felt nothing.

At this time, Yan Chong rushed out of the high platform, as if stepping on the waves, and walked to the stone tablet without words, closed his eyes and sat upright, with the sword across his knees.

Meng Qi collected his thoughts and watched carefully. Yan Chong had been in perfect harmony with nature for a long time, and had been training for much longer than himself. He wondered what stage he had reached now, and whether he had found his own path...

Time passed like a flash, and it was gradually approaching a cup of tea, but there was still no movement in the stone tablet and the surroundings.

Suddenly, the sound of the tide rang out in the air, surging, and the deep blue gradually appeared, deep and restrained, brewing a storm, which surprised everyone.

Boom!

The tide broke out, the sword light broke through the waves, Yan Chong soared into the air, and slowly fell down, with a half sigh and half joy on his face: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It seems that he was only one layer of paper away from finding the initial path. This time, the realization will save him at least a year of hard work. Even if he can't reach the sky in one step in the future, it won't be too far away..." Meng Qi sighed.

He respected Yan Chong, who came from a small sect and could reach his current level, because the effort and hard work required were greater than others.

As for ascending to heaven in one step, it is a rare thing. Even if the initial path is found, it may not be feasible. Didn't He Jiu also rely on the traction of Qi to climb up, and the stimulation of life and death to break through?

"Brother Yan has worked hard and traveled to seek the truth. It is normal for him to have such enlightenment." Wang Zai was full of admiration.

Seeing Yan Chong's enlightenment, Zhao Yi, the King of Jin, who had not reached the realm before and could not see the wordless monument, personally came down. He had relied on the power of all living beings to "unify heaven and man", and then opened the mysterious gate between his eyebrows.

Unfortunately, he still didn't have any enlightenment.

After Zhao Yi, the prince came down. He had opened the mysterious gate for more than a year and was about to meet the inside and outside.

Sitting in front of the wordless monument, the prince had a peaceful face and a smile on his face. Not long after, golden lotuses drilled out from the ground and bloomed slowly. The stone monument was shining and seemed to have Sanskrit.

"Huh, within half a year, the prince will be promoted to the outer scene." Wang Zai sighed.

After opening the Xuanguan between the eyebrows, one can also adjust the inner world and preliminarily determine the path, but the paths that can be chosen are very limited and basically cannot be completely compatible with oneself. After all, there is no regret in the Xuanguan.

Meng Qi looked around and found that the people who had not yet left were himself, Zhao Heng, Qi Zhengyan, Fan Changmiao, Xuan Zhen and Bai Qigu.
