Layers of soil swayed away, and the huge boulder in the ground slowly unfolded in Yang Ji's eyes. However, beyond Yang Ji's expectation, the yellow halo of the local boat pushed away layers of soil, and appeared in Yang Ji's eyes.
The rock surface in front of Ji was bare, with not a single word on it.
"No?"
"How could it not be possible?!"
Yang Ji was stunned. The other end of the boulder was actually bare with no words. But how could this be possible? How could three words become a poem or a couplet?
And, for the sake of it? What does that mean?
These three words together make no sense at all!
"Luo Yunzi said that there is a Confucian poem on the boulder. Could it be that he is not talking about this boulder at all, but another one? Is there such a thing in the world? Two different boulders are hidden in the same place, and both are engraved with words?"
Yang Ji stood there in a daze, feeling that a thick fog shrouded his eyes.
"It's impossible, there can't be such a coincidence! And if that's really the case, why did the huge stone that Luo Yunzi mentioned disappear, but this one appears? - There must be something in it that I haven't discovered."
His eyes slowly passed over the boulder. When he moved to the right side of the boulder covered by soil, Yang Ji was suddenly shocked and suddenly understood something:
"The right side! Yes, there is also the right side. I only noticed the left side, but not the right side at all!"
Whoosh!
Yang Ji's heart moved, and the boat swung violently, moved several feet sideways, and floated to the right. The heavy soil was avoided one after another, and a huge font instantly appeared in front of Yang Ji.
"Wei Zi! There is another Wei Zi here!"
Yang Ji suddenly became excited.
As expected, there are other words on the right side of the boulder.
"That's a no!"
"This is a word!"
"No more, only three characters?"
…
Yang Ji explored all the way, and when he found the third text, the same thing happened again. The strong and powerful characters with iron hooks and silver strokes on the surface of the boulder suddenly disappeared.
——On the right side of the boulder, there are only three characters in the symmetrical place.
"Just do it" on the left!
The right side is "not for"!
There are only six different fonts on the entire surface of the monolith.
"What exactly does this mean? Do it for the sake of it, but don't do it for it, do it for the sake of it, but don't do it for it..."
Quietly in the darkness, Yang Ji stood motionless on the two-foot-long ground boat, his eyes becoming more and more confused.
As the three new fonts appeared, Yang Ji felt that the doubts in his heart not only did not diminish, but actually increased.
"Do it for the sake of doing it, but don't do it for the sake of it... These six words don't completely constitute the meaning of giant body?"
Yang Ji murmured to himself.
I'm afraid this is the huge rock that Luo Yunzi was talking about. Looking at these six words, he finally understood why the ability of the Luo family and the abilities of so many people who knew about it at the time were unable to do anything to destroy this huge rock.
Confused.
Do it for the sake of it, not for it!
These six words are incomprehensible. They have no beginning or end, and it is completely impossible to guess their meaning.
Yang Ji was also a person with a burst of literary talent, and he was awarded the title of literary scholar. He also had some cultivation in the literary field, although it was not high, but at a time when the literary field was in decline, it was already amazing.
Not to mention, Yang Ji also obtained the inheritance of ancient literature and Taoism and obtained the "Book of Great Confucianism"!
But even Yang Ji was like this. Others were even more confused.
"What on earth do you mean? It is impossible for a scholar to have such a meaningless idea..."
Yang Ji stood there blankly, silent.
He was absolutely sure that the huge stone in front of him was related to Confucianism. The literary atmosphere felt in "The Book of Great Confucianism" was the best proof.
It is impossible for Confucianism to solve such an unsolvable problem.
Yang Ji's mind was filled with thoughts, and he stood there motionless.
Time passed silently, but Yang Ji stood there, but his mind was blank.
An hour!
Two hours!
Three hours!
…
Yang Ji has completely forgotten time.
"It shouldn't be!..."
Yang Ji let out a long sigh. After such a long time, he couldn't think of any clues at all. These six words seemed to have no meaning.
Suddenly, Yang Ji had a thought in his heart:
"Luo Yunzi said that this is a poem or couplet. But these six words are not poetry at all. Could it be that I was wrong from the beginning. These six words are not poetry at all..."
Thinking of this, Yang Ji's troubled mind suddenly became active. Just like a person who has reached a dead end and finds another path, Yang Ji's mind became active again.
It is impossible for Confucianism to have those unsolvable problems. A strong martial artist may be like this when it comes to inheritance of orthodoxy, but Yang Ji knows that Confucianism will never be like this.
Confucianism does not stick to words in any particular place. It pays more attention to a person's morality and quality. Confucian classics and liberal arts examinations are all like this.
If this is the case, maybe the six-character puzzle on the boulder is not as difficult as I thought. Instead, it is very likely to be extremely simple.
Yang Ji's pupils shrank and he once again concentrated on the six words on the boulder. Slowly, the fog in front of him seemed to become much thinner.
Something seems to be becoming clear.
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and suddenly Yang Ji seemed to understand what these six words meant. However, the truth was so simple, and Yang Ji suddenly couldn't believe it.
"Do it if you want to, but don't do it... Do it if you know it can't be done, or don't do it if you know it can be done?"
Yang Ji was shocked and confused:
"Is this what these six words mean?"
The mystery of the giant stone that stumped the wealthy Luo family and many people who knew about it at the time was actually so simple. Yang Ji couldn't believe it for a moment.
But deep down in his heart, Yang Ji knew deeply that based on the style of the ancient sages of ancient literature and Taoism, the words on this huge stone probably meant this.
Not the most difficult, but the easiest!
——The two lines of text on the giant stone do not refer to some profound poetry or couplets, but to this simplest Confucian sentence.
"You know you can't do something, but do it; you know you can do something, but don't do it." This is the famous Confucian norm of self-cultivation, prudence, integrity, and solid conduct.
It means that a person should have the courage to face difficulties and do the right things. At the same time, he should be able to resist temptation and not do the wrong things.
The answer is so simple, so how could it be that countless people at that time were thinking in the most difficult and profound aspects. I was influenced by Luo Yunzi, had preconceived ideas, and also fell into misunderstandings of thinking.
"Whether it is or not, you will know after you give it a try."
This thought flashed through Yang Ji's mind. He immediately steered the boat and rose up along the surface of the boulder. Yang Ji stretched out a finger on the blank part of the boulder.
"Buzz!"
A sudden change occurred. On the surface of the hard boulder, where Yang Ji's fingers touched, ripples suddenly appeared, and a light yellow halo burst out from the fingers.
Yang Ji felt as if his fingers were touching the water.
"It seems so!"
Yang Ji was so focused that he used his finger as a pen to draw silver hooks on the surface of the boulder. The dragons and phoenixes danced and he began to write.
"Know!"
After writing the first word, like magic, the place where Yang Ji's finger crossed suddenly turned from yellow to black and turned into a huge ink word.
Looking at the new big characters on this boulder, Yang Ji's confidence soared.
"Try the second word again!"
The boat sank along the ground. Yang Ji made a stroke with iron hooks, and in the blink of an eye, ripples spread out. The second word "no" appeared on the stone again.
The third word "Ke" was written on it, and the six smooth ink characters "Know what you can't do but do it" immediately jumped out on the stone.
The fluctuations of the boulder were getting bigger and bigger. Yang Ji felt happy and simply filled in the remaining three words on the right side.
"It's done!"
Yang Ji controlled the boat and took a few steps back, looking at the two lines of text on the boulder with joy in his heart. The boulder was originally covered with thick soil, but at this time, waves of ripples spread out, pushing away the soil.
.Twelve characters in two lines are all displayed.
"I wonder what the secret is in this boulder?"
Yang Ji looked at the boulder in front of him with strong expectations in his heart.
After the end of the era, there are too few Confucian treasures that have been passed down to the present. It is almost as easy as searching for a needle in the sea. Now, I finally got a piece of news that Yang Ji must not miss.
"The historian said that it is used to suppress the Yin Qi, evil Qi and corpse Qi in Wan Cemeteries. But I don't know why it is a stone. And I can't feel much literary Qi?"
While waiting, Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
Bursts of yellow light came from inside the boulder, and Yang Ji waited eagerly. However, while Yang Ji was waiting for the result, something unexpected happened. The yellow light and ripples on the boulder suddenly changed from thick to light, and those fluctuations also
Gradually weakened.
"Buzz!"
In Yang Ji's stunned eyes, the three large characters written by Yang Ji suddenly disappeared on the left and right sides of the boulder. The surrounding soil covered it, and the boulder in front of him returned to normal and motionless.
"!!!"
"How is this going?"
Yang Ji was stunned. The expected revelation of the mystery did not happen, and the legendary Confucian treasure did not appear. Everything was as if it had never happened.
"Buzz!"
Di Xingzhou rushed over like an arrow from a string, and Yang Ji stretched out his fingers to write on the surface of the boulder again. However, the yellow light, ripples, and what happened last time did not happen again.
Yang Ji felt that the place where his fingers touched was as hard as iron and there was no change at all.
It was like a test where there was only one chance to take the exam, and Yang Ji lost his chance.
——He was rejected by the boulder.
"impossible?"
Yang Ji seemed to have been punched in the face, his face full of disbelief. There were yellow lights, ripples, and the surface of the boulder softened, which proved that his idea should be correct.
But what happened?
Why didn't the boulder change as I expected?
Yang Ji was stunned and completely accepted this fact.
"You know you can't do it, but do it; you know you can do it, but don't do it." This should be the correct answer to the boulder riddle. But why is this so?
Yang Ji found it difficult to accept it.
Whoosh!
Suddenly he stretched out his fingers, rushed to the surface of the boulder and started writing again. Once, twice, three times... The boulder was a boulder. No matter how many times Yang Ji wrote, there was no change at all.
Even the yellow light from inside the boulder that Yang Ji had felt before was much dimmed, only vaguely present.
After trying more than ten times in succession, the skin on his fingers was almost worn away, and Yang Ji finally had to accept this fact.
——This huge stone that stumped the wealthy Luo family and countless insiders at the time seemed to have also closed the door to me, the most likely to be recognized as the descendant of Confucianism.
"The answer can't be wrong, but why is it like this, why is it like this..."
Yang Ji's mind was in confusion.
This result may be acceptable to others, but it is unacceptable to him. Inheriting the "Book of Great Confucianism", he is the hope for the prosperity of Confucianism and Taoism in this era, and is also the most likely to regain its greatness.
But these great ambitions have not yet started, but they fell down at the very beginning. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
