"But even if you find out, it won't change anything. We still don't know what the answer to the mystery left by the Ghost Saint is."
Small wormhole.
"You are wrong. If you can find one place, you can find two places. The mystery of ghosts and gods is the unfulfilled wish of the Ghost Saint. He must have left more clues. And the best way to answer all this is Experience his life in the way of a ghost saint."
Chen Shaojun said.
Xiaowo was confused and had no idea what Chen Shaojun was referring to. However, Chen Shaojun just smiled and did not explain.
Under Xiaowo's gaze, he sat down cross-legged in front of the ghost monument, motionless. Although the outside world was quiet and seemed to be frozen, Chen Shaojun's mind was extremely active.
The ghost saint's life experience resurfaced in his mind again, over and over again. I don't know how long it took, but Chen Shaojun himself turned into the ghost tapir that wandered around and accidentally fell into the human world.
Chen Shaojun saw himself rushing towards the group of Confucian scholars with a ferocious face, and watched with trembling as the big sword struck him from above his head. He also saw the Confucian scholar stepping down from the bullock cart, pointing a finger between his eyebrows, and saved himself. .
"teacher!"
Chen Shaojun listened to the sounds coming from his own mouth, then he knelt down devoutly before the great scholar and became his disciple.
Over and over again, the memories of the two were mixed together. In the end, even Chen Shaojun couldn't tell whether he was the son of Dashang's minister of household affairs or the ghost tapir.
Time passed slowly, and Chen Shaojun continued to grow. During the day, he listened to Master Kong Sheng's lectures with many disciples in the lecture hall, and at night, he discussed knowledge with his brothers. Everything was so real, and Chen Shaojun was completely immersed in it.
Chen Shaojun didn't realize that when he was immersed in the memory of the ghost saint, in the billowing smoke around the ghost monument, a vague light spot slowly penetrated into his body, echoing with Chen Shaojun's consciousness.
It's another early morning.
Chen Shaojun walked into the school as usual, opened the book, and started his daily morning recitation.
"The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection..."
As if by chance, Chen Shaojun opened his lips slightly and suddenly read out the contents of the ghost book.
It's strange to say that when just looking at the ghost saint's memory before, Chen Shaojun never paid attention to what the ghost saint recited, but at this moment, when Chen Shaojun transformed himself into a ghost saint, he suddenly knew the book content on.
"boom!"
It was late and then fast. Just when Chen Shaojun read these words, something happened suddenly. In the dark, Chen Shaojun only heard a loud sound like a bell and a bell in the void above his head. It seemed like there were countless people. A voice sounded in his ears at the same time, telling himself something. For a moment, Chen Shaojun had a splitting headache and felt as if his head was about to explode.
"it hurts!"
Things happened in a hurry, and this sudden change caught Chen Shaojun off guard, but everything felt so real. This development has exceeded Chen Shaojun's expectation, but despite this, Chen Shaojun still remained calm.
"So this is the voice of ghosts and gods felt by Ghost Saint?"
Chen Shaojun knew very well that what he saw in front of him was not his true feelings, but probably the Ghost Saint's true feelings at that time.
However, what was even more surprising was what happened later. When Chen Shaojun read out the phrase "The way to a university lies in Ming Ming De", these words seemed to have invisible magic power. Buzz, Chen Shaojun's mental power vibrated and expanded outward like a tide. And out, at this moment, he clearly felt that he was close at hand, and the ghost monument that was originally motionless suddenly shook.
Just inside the ghost monument, Chen Shaojun suddenly felt something he had never felt before.
It was like a certain consciousness, or like a fragment of a soul. The unknown thing was trembling, and it seemed to have some echo with the saint's poem that Chen Shaojun had recited before.
"What's this?"
Chen Shaojun was shocked, but just for a moment, Chen Shaojun's eyes dimmed, and the scene he just saw disappeared instantly.
Chen Shaojun was excited and opened his eyes suddenly. However, he saw that the entire ghost monument in front of him was lifeless and peaceful. Everything that just happened seemed to be his illusion.
Chen Shaojun couldn't help but be stunned.
"Boy, what's wrong? What did you find?"
Xiaowo on the side also noticed something strange about Chen Shaojun.
Chen Shaojun said nothing, his eyes flashed with light, and countless thoughts flashed through him in an instant.
"Is it the reason why Ghost Saint read that sentence?"
Chen Shaojun murmured to himself. Although he didn't know why there was such a change, one thing Chen Shaojun could be sure of was that it was by no means his illusion.
Chen Shaojun pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an idea.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know once you try it."
Chen Shaojun thought, and the next moment, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged again, fell into trance, and once again entered the school in the ghost saint's memory.
"The way to a university lies in Mingmingde..."
At this moment, Chen Shaojun suddenly opened his eyes and read aloud the saint's poem from the book for the first time.
Buzz, the same thing happened again, and the surrounding ghost mist boiled again. Deep inside the ghost monument, in the darkness, a little light suddenly appeared, and Chen Shaojun felt that strange existence again.
"Boy, what did you do?"
Xiaowu also widened his eyes, this time he also sensed something abnormal inside the ghost monument.
Not only that, there was a bonfire crackling on the top of the mountain in the distance. The young man in white was originally sitting on a huge black rock, looking at the Analects of Ghost Saints in his hand, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something and turned his head sharply to look over. Whoops.
, a sound of wind passed by, and the young man in white disappeared instantly, and suddenly appeared next to Chen Shaojun.
"what have you done?"
The young man in white looked at the ghost monument with a solemn expression. He had come here countless times and studied the ghost monument countless times, but this kind of change had never happened. This ghost monument is self-contained, except that it will appear to everyone.
The memory of ghosts and saints remains untouched by others.
"Do you feel it?"
Chen Shaojun did not answer, but looked ahead and asked.
"What are you looking at?"
The young man in white asked. He just felt the ghost monument shake, and the aura emitted was obviously disordered, but he didn't find anything else.
Xiao Wu on the side also had his eyes widened with a confused look on his face.
What was found?
Is there something they should have seen but didn't?
Chen Shaojun frowned and said nothing. It was obvious that only he could see the mysterious existence inside the ghost monument.
Chen Shaojun did not hide anything and told his findings exactly. However, after he finished speaking, the young man in white and Xiaowo became more and more confused.
Chen Shaojun only figured out the psychological activities of the Ghost Saint and simulated his life. He did not actually incarnate into him. Logically, nothing special should happen.
Moreover, the cultivation level of the young man in white is higher than that of Chen Shaojun. Chen Shaojun can feel the things inside the ghost monument, so there is no reason why he cannot detect it.
"The way to a university lies in Mingmingde..."
The young man in white pondered for a moment, then took a step forward. Like Chen Shaojun, he read out the saint's chapter. Even Xiaowo secretly recited it from the side. However, the stone tablet was quiet and nothing happened.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, and the eyes of the young man in white became more and more confused.
"Try reciting it again."
The young man in white turned his head and looked at Chen Shaojun.
"The way to a university lies in Mingmingde..."
Chen Shaojun did as he was told, and the same scene happened again. Chen Shaojun saw the light inside the ghost monument again, while the young man in white and Xiaowo beside him became more and more confused.
The facts are before our eyes. It is obvious that no one except Chen Shaojun can inspire changes in the ghost monument.
Next, everyone tried many times, but except for the light that Chen Shaojun could see, the ghost monument had no other changes. The last page of the Analects of Ghost Saint and the mystery of ghosts and gods in the mouth of Ghost Saint have never been solved.
.
"It seems that we can only go so far. Although you can trigger the reaction of the Ghost Monument, it is just that. Perhaps no one can solve the mystery left by the Ghost Saint. We can only wait for others to solve it in the future."
The young man in white shook his head, glanced at Chen Shaojun regretfully, then jumped up and disappeared again, returning to the hilltop where he originally was.
"I advise you to give up. Even Confucius cannot solve the problem, and it is even more impossible for us."
The lingering voice of the young man in white came from far away in the air.
"It's such a pity. It's still a little short of the mark. I thought you could get the contents inside."
Xiaowo was also standing there with her head hanging, looking listless.
Chen Shaojun, on the other hand, remained calm as usual, seemingly unscathed, looking at the ghost monument with a thoughtful look on his face.
"The light group in the ghost monument should be something that the Ghost Saint brought back from the human world, and he deliberately placed it in the ghost monument. As long as we can obtain that mysterious light group, we will definitely be able to solve the mystery of ghosts and gods."
Chen Shaojun's eyes were sharp and he was still full of fighting spirit. He had a feeling that he was only one step away from success.
"But how can we get the things in the ghost monument?"
Chen Shaojun murmured to himself, but he was also at a loss.
He is not the first to discover this ghostly holy ruins. Before that, many people must have been here and tried it. What he tried must have been done by predecessors. It was almost a blessing to the soul. Chen Shaojun's eyes slowly
He moved and landed on the line of text on the inscription.
"The way of heaven is declining, the way of earth is becoming full, the ghosts and gods are causing harm, and the way of humanity is becoming evil. The ghost sage left this line, which must have a profound meaning."
Chen Shaojun secretly said that the only thing he has not yet understood is this line of text.
"You don't talk about the strange power that disturbs the gods. Before the age of sixty, Confucius stayed away from ghosts and gods, so there is a saying that if you don't know life, how can you know death? When three people walk together, there must be my teacher. Confucius did not start studying "Yi" until he was seventy years old
, From this point of view, the mystery of ghosts and gods may not be solved by Confucianism, which is why the Ghost Sage did not leave this mystery in Confucianism."
Chen Shaojun's mind was full of thoughts.
"The ghost sage left the words of the Book of Changes on the ghost stele. I'm afraid it is more of a test of the understanding of the visitor."
Chen Shaojun sat cross-legged and meditated in front of the ghost monument, and soon fell into deep thought again.
