Great Blue Night Watchman

Are you planning to go to Shufeng tomorrow?

This sentence is very common. Have you had a meal? There is no fundamental difference in what you want to do tomorrow. It is a very common sentence.

However, at this moment, in this situation, it is very unusual to say such a sentence suddenly.

Lin Su had never told anyone that he wanted to go to Shufeng.

Ming Tianyan suddenly said this, pointing to a possibility, the only possibility, that is: she knew a secret hidden by Lin Su.

Lin Su's entry into the temple this time aroused a storm in the temple and turned the world upside down on all walks of life. Four doors were opened on the Painting Road, a plane on the Mo Road shocked everyone, and "Yi" on the Yin-Yang Road... "Sutra" The storm has not subsided, the music is earth-shaking, the poetry is the eternal masterpiece...

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

But even among experts, few people have a true glimpse into Lin Su's secrets.

Some people interpret it from a realist perspective. Lin Su made this big move in order to get the Tongtian Card. Think about it, how good the Tongtian Card is. It is similar to the "public examination" in modern society. Once you pass it, you will get it. If you get a job, you can get a fixed salary, have a good status, and you can choose the best "factory girl" when looking for a wife. Shouldn't you work hard for this job? Those otakus in modern society can even uninstall games. It’s not too much for him to work hard for a few days and nights, right?

Some people interpret it from the perspective of a wise man. Lin Su is a person with a backbone. Stepping into the temple will inevitably attract pressure from various palaces. A little ant cannot resist. Therefore, Lin Su accumulated his literary name. The thicker the literary name, the higher the popularity. Just like an "Internet celebrity" in modern society, those departments have to consider the influence if they want to get him. This is to use the literary name to create a "turtle shell" for oneself.

These interpretations all make sense.

But that's not all.

What Lin Su really hides is to use these extreme challenges to bring his nine pillars of the literary world to the ultimate peak.

What he wants is far wilder than what everyone sees.

What he wants is a new term that has never appeared in the temple: Quasi-Sage of Heaven!

This goal was a bit wild, so he never mentioned it to anyone except Li Guihan!

But now, Ming Tianyan seems to know, because she accurately captured the only point that Lin Su has not reached the ultimate peak so far: calligraphy.

Ming Tianyan's eyes poked over the edge of the tea cup and smiled softly: "I can see the little surprise on your face. I actually feel a strange sense of accomplishment. I'm quite happy."

Lin Su smiled: "Fairy Tianyan was once taboo in the temple, but now I have seen it... How did I come to this conclusion?"

This sentence meant that Lin Su recognized her judgment.

It also means that the two of them know each other well.

Ming Tianyan said: "When your eyes are focused on the teapot, you can only see the tea leaves in the teapot. Only when your eyes jump out of the teapot can you see the real world. I just understand your situation. Only by breaking into the quasi-sage can you get out of it." Fundamentally solved, and breaking into the Quasi-Sage, you simply cannot do it at this stage. Only a legendary realm can break this deadlock, and that is the Quasi-Sage of Heaven! I, an outsider, can see this, you There is no reason why this person in the game who is said to have all the plans can't be seen, so... everything you do revolves around this ultimate goal! Once you determine this basic point, you can completely understand the meaning of your literary ruins. OK, your trip to the two peaks of music and poetry can also be used to determine your next trip."

This is the perspective of looking beyond the chessboard to the overall situation.

From an ordinary person's perspective, there are reasons to support what Lin Su did.

But from a more detached perspective, these reasons are not enough to change the fundamentals.

It's not enough to change fundamental things, so Lin Su has no reason to bother.

Therefore, Ming Tianyan accurately saw the only possibility.

Lin Su raised his teacup: "I admire you!"

Ming Tianyan said: "Since the establishment of the temple, people have been exploring this road, but no one has ever succeeded. Do you know why?"

"Because at the end of every road, there is a...keeper."

"Goalkeeper, this is a novel statement, but it is also very appropriate..." Ming Tianyan started and said a lot...

Her words were not direct, but Lin Su understood completely...

To put it all together as follows…

On the road of literature, at the end of every road there is a person, a saint! The saint, whom Lin Su calls the "goalkeeper", guards his path. Anyone who wants to walk on this path will not see the way of heaven first, but the goalkeeper. Only by crossing the goalkeeper can he have a chance to see it. To the way of heaven.

How does a saint transcend?

If you dare to cross him, the saint will slap you to death!

Will God care?

No! Normally not!

The way of heaven is high above, formulates the rules for the operation of heaven and earth, and entrusts a certain way to a certain saint. This saint is his confidant. Whether it is based on the stability of this way or the protection of his confidants, "he" is unlikely to do it for The son of someone who is "against the Tao" and abandons the chosen saint.

Just like what the watchman Chang Shiba said to Lin Su that day: Don't force the temple to choose between you and the emperor! Even if you are of equal weight to the emperor, the temple will not choose you and will only maintain the status quo.

There is nothing new under the sun, and there is probably nothing new above the sun. This has been the case for hundreds of millions of years.

Therefore, the concept of the quasi-sage of heaven is actually a false proposition.

However, despite the vastness of heaven, there is also another mystery...

That's Bo...

If a student is proficient in various ways and pursues the saints in all ways, Heaven will also favor him, because Heaven's way is originally "Bo". In this case, Heaven will face this infinite relationship with "him" himself. Those who fit the "Bo Realm" will be given the quasi-sage of heaven!

Some Taoist experts said: The quasi-sage of the way of heaven must be the Bo Realm, and the way of heaven uses the quasi-sage of the Bo realm to check and balance the various ways.

Checks and balances…

The essence of the emperor's mind!

Does Heaven also play checks and balances?

Of course it is possible!

Heaven is also an emperor, the biggest and biggest emperor!

He creates various paths and chooses spokespersons for each path. However, some of these spokespersons are disobedient. What should I do if they are disobedient? Substitute! Take a quasi-sage of the Heavenly Dao who is proficient in each path. If the saint in any path rebels, I will directly use this quasi-sage to top it. Professional counterpart, simple and trouble-free, convenient and fast!

Do you think this is the most effective way to control saints?

At this point, Lin Su was dumbfounded: "I have had a feeling for a long time that Tiandao is a living person. Now listening to your statement has deepened this suspicion."

Ming Tianyan looked at the sky: "Heaven has a will, and it doesn't matter whether he is alive or not. There is a rumor, unknown whether it is true or not, involving heaven and earth..."

"you say!"

"It is rumored that Tianwaitian was originally a game of chess played by the Heavenly Dao!" Ming Tianyan said: "The Heavenly Dao opened the extraterrestrial passage, let the foreign evil spirits enter, and set the battlefield outside the temple, in order to use the foreign evil demons to stimulate the saints. Always be at your best.”

Lin Su was stunned...

The supreme leader himself opened a passage to a foreign land and let evil spirits enter?

Why does it sound so much like a certain king of Da Cang Kingdom to me?

However, when the next sentence comes out, the perception changes completely, stimulating the saints to maintain their best condition. This is very right...

Ming Tianyan added: "Thousands of years ago, too many evil spirits came through this passage, and the level continued to increase. The temple was in danger, so the Heavenly Dao took action, slashed the Tianmen with a sword, and closed the foreign passage again. That's why I really believe this rumor. The purpose of the foreign passage is to stimulate the saints of this world to keep moving forward. It is opened for stimulation and closed to control the intensity. Speaking of that sword, you must be interested, because this Swords have created some of the top swordsmanship in this world, and the Dugu Nine Swords you practice originated from here..."

Lin Su finally became enlightened...

A mystery that has been buried in my heart for a long time is finally solved...

He obtained the Dugu Nine Swords from the Sword Sect...

The lower three swords are the swords of humanity, the middle three swords are the swords of earth, and the upper three swords are the swords of heaven.

He always thought it was a nine-move sword move, but in fact there were no nine moves, only six moves. These six moves were all learned from the sword of the Heavenly Dao Zhantian Clan.

The real sword of heaven comes from the hands of heaven and is still in the sky.

The purpose of its attack was to cut off the door to the foreign land that it had opened with its own hands, and to control the intensity of the invasion of foreign evil spirits, so as to prevent those who came from being too strong and destroying this world.

The Way of Heaven, this illusory concept, has today turned into a creature that looks very much like a human being.

There are strategies, there are means, and there are all kinds of tricks...

The world is so wonderful...

Ming Tianyan changed the subject: "The matter of Tianwaitian is a big mystery in the temple. Countless people are running for it. Even that person is very interested. He fell into Tianwaitian. Of course, he was framed by others. But in the final analysis, it is still to solve the 'heavenly situation' of Tianwaitian."

The topic thus turned to the Soldier Saint.

The topic of the Soldier Saint is always so heroic, always so embarrassing, but also always so sensitive...

Ming Tianyan passed it on in a few words and got to the point: "I know that your literary world is the Bo world, and I also know that you entered Wenxu, Lefeng, and Shifeng all to raise the pillars of the literary world to the pinnacle, and to use strategies to The quasi-sage of heaven is perfect, now you can tell me clearly, to what extent have you made up for it so far?"

Lin Sudao: "Since you have already said it to this extent, I will not hide it from you! The nine pillars and seven pillars have reached their peak. I have always had the deepest confusion hidden here. Why has my military peak not reached the peak?" peak!"

Yes, this is Lin Su's biggest confusion. He didn't realize it before, but now he realizes it, and when he realizes it, he is completely confused.

He made his debut as a military strategist!

He has a superb military talent!

He created his own art of war, "Thirty-Six Strategies"!

On the battlefield, he is the white-robed God of War who is avoided by all the armies!

Every inch of him shows that he is at the pinnacle of military art, and his main business is military art. However, it is precisely this main business that makes him unable to do anything, because the nine pillars in his body rise together, leaving Quasi-Saint. At the critical moment when the road was getting closer, his military peak was still in place, looking dwarfed against the surrounding seven peaks.

How did this convince him?

Ming Tianyan sighed softly: "The so-called ultimate peak is relative! In this world, your various paths are chasing the saints. Heavenly Dao will naturally judge that you have reached the ultimate peak. However, don't forget, above the military path, There is another peak, and as long as that peak is still there, and as long as your military skills cannot surpass his, you will not be considered the ultimate peak!"

Lin Su was dumbfounded for a moment...

It's not that his military skills are not strong enough, it's that there are people who are stronger than him in military skills!

The ultimate peak is not absolute, but relative!

He has followed the footsteps of the Soldier Saint all his life. In the end, it was precisely this monument that was too tall and too big, which caused his path to a quasi-sage to reach a dead end. Who can reason with him?

"When you go to Tianwaitian, you have the most important mission, which is to find him!" Ming Tianyan said: "Find him and discuss military affairs with him. As long as your military skills can be equal to his, the gate of heaven is quasi-sage, so And open!”

Lin Su smiled: "Have I ever told you that it's great to have you?"

Ming Tianyan's serious expression suddenly solidified, and the water in the tea cup rippled without warning: "You may have said this to many people, but you have never told me, and in my world, there are also I have never heard words similar to this echoed in my ears eight hundred years ago: Having you in the Palace of Destiny is really a bad luck for thousands of years!"

"Time is like flowing water, and the passing away is like this! Whether it is a thousand years or eight hundred years, the world changes, and people also change. Fairy Tianyan, tomorrow I will enter the Book Palace. After the Book Palace, I will set off to the outer world. In three years If I come back, I will come back. If I can’t come back, please help me!”

"Say it!"

"Go down to the lower world for me and tell the Haining Lin family that Lin Su is not dead. He opened a small vegetable garden in Tianwaitian and found a bunch of wives there. He is happy and carefree, but he is still a shameless bastard."

Ming Tianyan looked at him for a long time and shook his head gently: "I've never seen you like this! Okay, let's go!"

Silently, her figure disappeared. Where she was sitting, a piece of plain handkerchief floated down and landed in front of Lin Su. On top of the handkerchief, there was a dark golden word: fate.

Lin Su picked up the plain handkerchief and smelled it. The fragrance was faint.

"Is it a life order? Are you playing too? I don't believe you will finally give me a life paper that turns into a sword!"

"What a decree! This is to wipe your tears! You are in the small vegetable garden of Tianwaitian, missing your hometown in Haining. Don't you need something to wipe away your tears?" The voice came from the Supa in your hand.

"Damn! Messaging Talisman!" Lin Su said: "Your Messaging Talisman is so unique..."

…

The next day!

It seems that all the hustle and bustle has disappeared again with the flow of night, and the book palace is like an open ancient book, slowly opening on the bank of the scholarly river.

The autumn wind blows, and these pages seem to be turning.

It was very quiet, with only the faint sound of pages turning.

But it is also very dynamic. The flow of the river and the turning of the pages of the book maintain the same rhythm.

Lin Su came through the air and stood under a tree. The leaves were flying, and there were flying characters. There was a black road in front of him, and a black pond next to it. The fragrance of ink soaked into the flowers and plants here, and the characters filled the air in all directions. .

Book Palace, the palace of calligraphy.

On the previous page, a pen suddenly appeared, and with a turn of the pen tip, a line of words appeared: Who is coming, and why are they coming?

No one, just the pen.

There is no sound, just a word.

Lin Su raised his hand, holding a pen in his hand, and wrote: "Chang Xing Lin Su, asking to see Chang Yuchun, the elder of your palace."

It's often spring, often eighteen, and in the old days, there was a watchman in the capital of Da Cang.

During the game between Lin Su and Ji Shang, he wrote "Da Cang News" on the literary wall of the capital, making Ji Shang's most sensitive matters public. Ji Shang thought it was Chang Shiba who did it, and the temple therefore ordered Chang Shiba to do it. Shiba took the temple back and replaced Da Cang Capital with a watchman.

This watchman became a friend in Lin Su's past.

After he entered the temple, he knew that he was the elder of the Book Palace. After stepping down from his position as the watchman, he had been studying the Taoism behind closed doors in the Book Palace. Today, he came to see this old friend.

Lin Su's reply was written in his own calligraphy style "Su style" with extremely smooth writing style.

As soon as the pen was put away, the pages flew up out of the air and shot towards the book palace.

It falls in a small garden on the left side of the Book Palace.

An old man's eyes lit up inside...

Outside the book palace, a leaf fell and landed at Lin Su's feet, turning into a golden boat with two big characters written on it: Please come in!

These two big characters are exactly the same as the "Three Watches" seen in Linsu Confucian Temple that day, and they are the handwriting of the watchmaker Chang Shiba.

The book palace welcomes guests, which is a unique experience. There are no people in the whole process, only words.

Lin Su crossed the book palace and seemed to be passing through endless books. The tip of his nose was filled with the fragrance of ink, and his ears were filled with the sound of books. Finally, he landed in a small courtyard. In the courtyard, an old man was waiting quietly. In front of him, there is a pot of tea, steaming, and a pot of wine, with the aroma of wine floating around, right next to the white clouds of the Lin family.

"I've met Chang Lao!" Lin Su bowed.

"Whatever you called Lao Chen in the past, Lao Chen suffered from it, but today it is different. You are already Chang Xing. Although you are at the same level as Lao Chen, your real status is far above Lao Chen. You can't call it that!" Chang Shiba smiled.

"There is a reason why I don't call you old. You don't look old at all!" Lin Su said with a smile: "Then I'll be bold, how about I call you brother?"

"You! The world's words are like foam in the spring breeze, and they are really like foam in the spring breeze. Okay, you call me brother, and I will call you brother! Above the temple, let's have a round of human friendship." Chang Shibashou Stretching slightly: "Brother, sit down!"

Lin Su sat down.

"Tea or wine?"

"Tea!"

Putting a cup of tea into Lin Su's hand, Chang Shiba sighed softly: "It's been a year and a half since we said goodbye to the capital. I've been in trouble for you all this time!"

"The situation we are in today is actually due to your contribution. Even if the world may not know it all, God knows it and the earth knows it. Your Majesty knows it, and I know it too!"

"I chose to trust you that day, but I had my doubts afterwards as to whether this trust was right or wrong. Fortunately, to this day, I feel relieved that I believed in you, and there was nothing wrong with me!" Chang Shiba said.

"I came here today for two things. First, I brought you some worldly things. I'm a little worried that you are living in a high palace and have forgotten what it's like to live in the world..."

Lin Su held his hands together, and a storage bag was put into Chang Shiba's hands.

Chang Shiba smiled: "Your generous temper is still the same as before. I can drink it for ten years by the top white clouds in Qiantan! Old friends, I finally have something I can envy! What about the second thing?"

"Secondly, I want to give something to the Book Palace!" Lin Su said.

"To the Book Palace?"

"yes!"

"Why?"

"Because I was in Wuding Mountain and saw with my own eyes the action of the Holy Master of Calligraphy. The Holy Master smashed the passage to a foreign land with an inkstone, protecting the world's peace for thousands of years, and also demonstrating the character of the Holy Master. As a student of the Great Cang, You have to thank the Holy Master. The third level of heaven is too far away and students are not qualified to visit it. Therefore, I give this small gift to the Book Palace!"

Chang Shiba was stunned.

It was extremely quiet.

Someone seems to have turned their attention to this world.

Lin Su's words sounded very orthodox, but upon closer interpretation, there was something mysterious about them.

He rarely directly commented on saints.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one dares to comment.

But this evaluation is extremely positive and is supported by evidence.

In the past, the calligrapher used an inkstone to break off the foreign passage in Wuding Mountain and protect the people of the country. This is a fact.

This is also the character!

It shows the character of the saint who dared to draw his sword for the sake of the common people.

At this level, he is connected with the way of the Soldier Saint.

He is also admired by Lin Su, a literary giant who has followed the path of a military strategist and reached what he is today.

However, entering the Book Palace at this time, and thanking the Book Sage for his great achievements at this time, has another meaning. Is he showing his kindness to the Book Sage?

Does he have any intention of winning over Shu Gong?

But no matter what the meaning was, it was diluted by his next words, a small gift to the book palace.

Who in the world can ignore Lin Su's courtesy?

"Brother...what is this gift...?" Chang Shiba's thoughts were also ever-changing and could not be finalized for a while.

"A set of calligraphy theory has the same origin as the "Book Theory" I wrote before, but it is a practical method."

Chang Shiba's heart beats wildly...

Lin Suzhi's "Shu Lun" was written during the Battle of Bailu on that day.

This "Shu Lun" is written in exquisite detail and was judged on the spot to be an ancient literary work handed down from ancient times. However, this "Shu Lun" also has flaws, that is, it is pure theory and has no practical methods, so it is a text, not a classic!

If you add practical methods, this article can become a classic in an instant.

The scriptures of the temple are the basis for the establishment of each palace. Don’t be afraid of too many scriptures, the more the better...

Today, what Lin Su wants to give to the Book Palace is a code!

This was interpreted by Chang Shiba instantly. A voice came from his ear, quite urgently: "Hurry up and invite him to the Holy Book Pavilion!"

This is the voice of the palace lord.

The palace master was alarmed.

Chang Shiba nodded slowly: "Come on!"

The Holy Book Pavilion is a study that looks very much like a study. Gold paper is spread on the table, and the precious pen is pointing diagonally in the air. Lin Su takes the precious pen in the air, raises the pen and starts writing:

"The Theory of Brushstrokes"

There are still twelve chapters in Fansi's character style. Each chapter has its own reference, sets its model, details its shortcomings, and summarizes its essential facts. It is convenient to record this...

I have written a preface of more than 300 words, and every word is fragrant...

Then comes the main text, the first chapter of Chuanglin: The paper is the formation, the author is the sword and spear, the ink is the armor, the water is the city, the skill is the general, the mind is the deputy general, the structure is the strategy, and the Yang The author's good and bad fortunes are also related to those who enter and give orders...

After finishing the first chapter, the eyes of Chang Shiba next to him were bright. This wonderful calligraphy words in his writing were like the art of war, full of logic and order. When he thought about it carefully, the long-standing troubles were as if the sun cleared the clouds. , for him, a master of calligraphy, it is more satisfying than drinking three cups of Baiyunbian...
