Chapter 498: Enlightenment (Two Chapters in One)

Seeing the golden lotus surging from the ground and the Sanskrit on the stele, the old emperor's face became gloomy uncontrollably, and the rest of the people were alert and amused.

But the prince seemed to have no desires and completely given up the pursuit of the throne. His expression was still peaceful, without any worry or fear. The golden lotus gradually turned into dark yellow, and the Sanskrit was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, changing constantly. Even Sima Shi, who was half a step away from the Dharma body, could not distinguish it.

Meng Qi has always been curious, so with his eyes half open and half closed, his mind was calm, and he explored the golden Buddha in his soul that was pointing to the sky and touching the earth, using it to simulate the momentum in his eyes.

His eyes were like glass, clear and not stained with a bit of darkness, but covered by the eyelids, no breath leaked out.

His eyes were cast on the "Wordless Stele", and the changing Sanskrit reflected in his pupils, and finally fixed:

"Buddha Emperor."

What a big tone... Meng Qi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the black and white were clear, as deep as a lake.

After a cup of tea, the Xuanhuang Lotus dissipated, the Sanskrit faded, and the wordless stele returned to its ancient and tattered appearance.

The prince stood up and saluted, and returned to the high platform with a quiet smile, ignoring the gloomy eyes of the old emperor and the playful expressions of the crowd.

Looking at the rest of the people, Meng Qi was not at all impetuous, and vowed to be the last person to appear on the stage.

At this time, Fan Changmiao, wearing a dark red head of the police, with a silver medal hanging on his waist, walked down the high platform and began to comprehend the wordless stele.

No one laughed at his attempt. Anyway, he had to give it a try. Maybe there would be gains? Didn’t you see that everyone had returned empty-handed before, but no one gave up?

Those who tasted tea tasted tea, and those who chatted privately chatted privately, and the scene suddenly became relaxed.

Meng Qi was watching very attentively. He could never see through this champion. He could see the cultivation of the heaven and man, but the specific details were quite vague. Perhaps the cultivation method was special.

If he had some insights, he might be able to get a glimpse of something...

"Fan Changmiao was born and raised in the capital of gods. He was not famous before he won the top prize. He really made a name for himself." Wang Zai said casually when he saw Meng Qi watching seriously.

Meng Qi nodded thoughtfully: "What kind of martial arts did he practice?"

"It is said that it is the 'Taiyi Free Sword' passed down in the family." Wang Zai is really well-informed.

I have never heard of it... It is not a first-class martial arts, Meng Qi really can't know everything.

While chatting, the two of them suddenly looked solemn, closed their mouths, and focused on Fan Changmiao!

I don't know if the sun was covered by clouds or for other reasons, but Fan Changmiao seemed a little drowsy and dark.

"He can comprehend something?" Wang Zai was quite surprised.

As soon as the voice fell, a ray of light lit up in the dimness, ethereal and dazzling, just like the light of a sword.

Puff, some of the children of the noble families who were less determined and came to see the scene spit out the tea in their mouths. Fan Changmiao actually realized the sword light!

Previously, many half-step external scenes did not comprehend it. Only the "Long River of Sword Qi" ranked second on the Human List and the prince who was about to break through could gain it. What was Fan Changmiao's reason?

Based on his realm of communication between heaven and man? Based on his ranking of fifteenth on the Human List?

This is simply a joke!

Meng Qi was not surprised. He took advantage of Wang Zai's question and said, "It is not contradictory to be able to think about the path just by communicating between heaven and man."

Wang Zai took a deep look at him and vaguely guessed that he was the same.

"Fan Changmiao has some insights, and Kuang Dao is probably under great pressure!" Someone glanced at the high platform where Meng Qi and Wang Zai were.

"Yes, the second and fifteenth on the Human List can both comprehend it. If he, the first on the Human List, does not gain anything, he will definitely lose face." Others whispered in agreement.

"It's not enough to just get something, you have to suppress their visions, otherwise you can be called the first on the list?"

"No, the visions are almost the same, it's really hard to tell who's better..."

During the discussion, Fan Changmiao opened his eyes, thanked the emperor for his grace, and smiled and returned to his seat.

Unexpected people, unexpected insights, the scene was noisy, no one noticed that Xuanzhen had arrived in front of the unmanned monument.

After a while, everyone quieted down, because the monument without words emitted bursts of Zen light, and a Bodhi tree appeared behind Xuanzhen, standing tall like a canopy, green and green, and beads like rosary beads!

No one thought that Xuanzhen couldn't get insights. He was born in the Shaolin Zen sect, and he broke through step by step. He was not lacking in the realm of unity between man and nature, and the Buddhist teachings were profound, and he often had enlightenment. It would be strange if he couldn't get something!

After a cup of tea, the Bodhi tree behind Xuanzhen withered, and he opened his eyes, as if feeling or sighing: "Bodhi... Prajna... I finally understand, this trip is not in vain... Amitabha, I have a mind of gain and loss."

After saying this, he clasped his hands together to thank the emperor.

"Master Xuanzhen has a strong Buddhist nature, so he can understand it." The old emperor replied.

Xuanzhen shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity that Master Zhenhui is not here, otherwise he might understand more than me..."

To this, Meng Qi nodded gently, agreeing that although Zhenhui only has seven orifices and is still a long way from thinking, he is practicing the finger of picking flowers - "Buddha picking flowers, Kasyapa smiles" has always been a symbol of "enlightenment", and Zhenhui is wise and foolish, so it is not surprising that he can really understand something.

While the children of the aristocratic families were still discussing what Xuanzhen had realized, Zhao Heng took a deep breath and walked down the high platform.

Meng Qi suddenly let out a light exclamation. Compared with the past, Zhao Laowu had a more dragon-like and tiger-like feel. Although the important officials on the stage were very cunning, they also cast their eyes on Zhao Heng.

In the past years, the King of Wei had been silent. Even though his health had improved and his martial arts had improved, he had not attracted anyone's attention. Now, judging from his posture, he was no worse than the Crown Prince and the King of Jin!

After Zhao Heng saluted his father, he sat cross-legged in front of the stone tablet and fell into silence.

The lake moved slowly, but the water was not rippled. There was nothing unusual about the stone tablet and its surroundings.

"It seems that the King of Wei is just like the King of Jin, and he is still a little short of the fire..." The head of a certain family in the capital shook his head slightly.

As soon as the voice fell, a dragon roar suddenly sounded on the plain, vast and noble. From the stone tablet, golden real dragons flew out, baring their fangs and claws, circling around Zhao Heng!

This... the real dragon emperor... I don't know how many people had this thought in their hearts.

The King of Jin's face changed drastically. This brother who had never paid attention to him could actually realize the real dragon!

The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his right hand unconsciously clenched into a fist.

The real dragon coiled, drilled into Zhao Heng's body, and flew out again, condensing into a golden seal, slowly falling on Zhao Heng's forehead.

When Zhao Heng opened his eyes, Meng Qi knew that he had saved at least a year of work.

"Thank you, father, for giving me the monument to observe." Zhao Heng was polite.

The scene was unusually quiet, and many important officials of the court did not speak. They silently looked at and examined Zhao Heng, as if they had reacquainted him.

The old emperor smiled: "Not bad, not bad, my Zhao family has another unicorn son!"

This was a very high compliment, which made the King of Jin look even darker, while the prince was only surprised, and then returned to calm.

However, the King of Jin did not care too much. The succession to the throne, even if Zhao Heng showed the talent of Su Meng, Gao Lan and others, depends on the attitude of various forces.

In the absence of the suppression of the Dharma body, countless princes with outstanding talents were excluded from the succession candidates, because the top families were afraid that they would use the position of the emperor to condense the Dharma body.

"I didn't expect the King of Wei to be so outstanding..." Wang Zai said frankly without any jealousy.

Meng Qi pursed his lips, looking thoughtful. Zhao Laowu had just broken through and had not found the way before. He was able to have the current vision, probably thanks to the help of the "True Imperial Seal".

This is really a secret treasure of humanity!

After Zhao Heng returned to his seat, everyone's eyes were circling back and forth between Bai Qigu and Meng Qi, and only they were left...

They were a perfect half-step to the unity of heaven and man, and the first place on the list of strong men. They all had the foundation of perception. Would they make a big noise and suppress the people in front of them?

If the difference is not much, I am afraid that the King of Wei who has realized the true dragon around his body will be the first.

At this time, the person they ignored walked silently to the monument without words.

"Hey, who is that?"

"It seems, it seems to be a guest of the Gongsun family."

"Oh, it is said to be Qi Zhengyan, a god and demon descended from the world, a top 20 expert on the Human Ranking, and a direct descendant of the Huanhua Sword School."

After entering the Human Ranking, Qi Zhengyan has been valued by the Huanhua Sword School and given many resources.

I wonder if the Hun Tian Bao Jian, which is at the level of heaven and man, can lead to strange phenomena... Meng Qi is quite looking forward to it and full of curiosity.

The others have the lesson of Fan Changmiao, and they did not relax and watched attentively.

Qi Zhengyan was dressed in blue, with a tall figure, ordinary face, and no expression. After meeting the emperor, he sat down by himself, facing the stone tablet.

It was past noon, and the autumn sun was still shining, shining on the stone tablet and Qi Zhengyan, dyeing them with a layer of golden color.

Time flows with the water, and Qi Zhengyan and the stone tablet are no different.

Just when everyone thought there was no hope, the surroundings suddenly became dim, and a red sun appeared above the river, slowly setting, unusually round.

The long river is setting and the sun is round... This poem suddenly popped up in the minds of Meng Qi and others.

The river reflected the sun, and there was a sunset glow, red as fire, white mist was steaming, and the flying birds were attracted by something and flew over to dance with the sunset glow, and the water color was similar to the sky.

One after another illusion appeared, which made everyone dazzled, and poems flashed in their minds:

"The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, and the autumn water and the sky are the same color..."

"Suddenly, the spring breeze came overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloomed..."

"The stone path is slanting in the distance on the cold mountain, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds..."

"The waterfall falls straight down three thousand feet, it seems that the Milky Way falls from the sky..."

"The endless fallen leaves are rustling, and the endless Yangtze River is rolling..."

...

"This is the presentation of many swordsmanship of the Huanhua Sword School!" Such a strange scene naturally attracted exclamations, including the important officials of the court, all of whom looked at it sideways.

In Meng Qi's eyes, this is definitely not just a poem of the Huanhua Sword School!

His eyes were solemn and focused, and he saw the Hun Tian Bao Jian techniques such as Bai Yun Yan, Mei Xia Dang, Tu Kun Lun, Bi Bing Xue and Zi Xing He, which were integrated into the poetry and sword techniques of the Huan Hua Sword School!

What is this vision?

Many visions rotated and merged with each other, but they were dark and repelled, full of difficulties.

Suddenly, the area around the stone tablet was completely dark, and a sword light lit up, illuminating the surroundings. Many visions merged into one, following the sword light into the sky, full of vigor and self-improvement!

Wang Zai couldn't help but speak:

"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement!"

"Qi Zhengyan used the wordless stele to integrate his martial arts and created his own moves!"

"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement... Is this Brother Qi's motto, and his thoughts on his own path?" Meng Qi took a breath, feeling surprised and relieved.

Countless children of noble families were stunned. This was definitely the most shocking insight from the stele today.

You can't judge a person by his appearance...

Qi Zhengyan still had no expression on his face. He thanked the emperor for his praise and returned to his seat at a moderate pace.

Later, Bai Qigu also gained some insights from the wordless stele. The river collapsed and the earth trembled. It was more rounded and clear than when she was promoted half a step, but her vision could only be compared with Xuan Zhen and others, and could not be compared with Qi Zhengyan.

So far, only Meng Qi was left without a fate.

Until this time, the children of the noble families recovered from the shock caused by Qi Zhengyan, and looked at Meng Qi one after another, wondering what this number one on the list could realize?

Can he beat the people who appeared earlier and the ones ranked after him?

Especially if Qi Zhengyan integrates what he has learned and comprehends the moves, can Kuang Dao be better?

This seems unlikely... After all, sometimes the things of perception have little to do with strength. It is not that the higher the ranking, the stronger the combat power, and the better at perception!

One by one, the important officials of the court also looked at Meng Qi, their eyes were like substance, full of appreciation.

Meng Qi didn't have much pressure at first, thinking that he could definitely beat Xuan Zhen and others, but Qi Zhengyan's unexpected perception made him a little uneasy. Can he do better?

"Facing the enemy" can't hesitate, Meng Qi took a deep breath, calmed his mind, everything around him disappeared, and then slowly outlined, the vitality of heaven and earth slowly swung, soaking his body, comfortable and comfortable, no longer thinking about winning or losing.

He stood up leisurely, stepped into the air, and slowly walked to the monument without words.

After bowing, Meng Qi sat down cross-legged under the gaze of everyone.

He did not close his eyes immediately, but carefully looked at the monument without words. It was grayish white, simple and old, and covered with tiny cracks, as if it was dug out from the ruins.

With his eyes closed, Meng Qi used the heaven and earth to sense the monument. He intuitively felt that there was nothing there, only a bottomless grayish white mass, with no end in sight, and no clues inside.

Meng Qi had already made preparations, eliminating things that were easy to attract covetousness, such as the Buddha Palm and the Nine Destructions of the Divine Sky, and activated his inner world, showing the path he had initially established, and visualizing related things.

The surrounding acupoints "opened", and there was chaos, or stars, or the sky was round and the earth was square, with Fusang trees in the east and Kunlun Mountain in the west...

In the acupoints with many stars, every twinkling star was the sun, and many lightless stars surrounded it, forming a galaxy, gathering into clouds, and merging into the Milky Way, which was boundless and vast.

Sensing its mechanism, the deep gray and white moved, and it seemed that something was about to be ejected from it.

Wang Zai on the high platform saw that after Meng Qi closed his eyes, the stone tablet was slowly covered with a layer of fluorescence. He nodded slightly, full of smiles, and felt that the vision was about to appear, and Xiao Meng would definitely be able to understand it.

Each acupoint is a universe, they are separated and intersected in the heavens.

The heavens are born with nine orifices and five internal organs, which evolve into five elements, sprout vitality, herald the end of the world, and form a cycle.

As Meng Qi moved his inner world closer to the "Heavens", the gray-white wriggling became more intense, and Meng Qi vaguely felt the breath of the "Heavens"!

That was the interweaving of law and reason, and the manifestation of Tao and virtue!

This made his interpretation of the Heavens more subtle and rounded.

Seeing the increasing fluorescence of the stone tablet, the old emperor nodded slightly, and everyone was ready to welcome the strange phenomenon.

I wonder if Kuang Dao can surpass Qi Zhengyan of Huanhua Sword Sect?

At this moment, when Meng Qi was moving his own "Heavens", the gray-white wriggling not only did not become more intense, but gradually calmed down!

How could this happen?

Meng Qi was fully engaged in the operation of perception, without any emotional fluctuations, but Wang Zai and others saw that the fluorescence gradually extinguished!

They were surprised and couldn't believe that such a situation would occur. Could it be that Kuang Dao, who was ranked first on the Human List, was also half a step away from comprehending the stone tablet?

But three of the top 20 on the Human List had comprehended it!

The "heavens" are higher than the universe, occupying it and affecting their laws, but the closer Meng Qi moved, the calmer the squirming gray-white became.

When the "movement" of the heavens was completed, the gray-white color completely calmed down.

However, in Meng Qi's perception, it became deeper and darker, and there seemed to be indescribable changes compared to before.

Above the heavens, the source of the long river of time is an indescribable "point". It has no distinction between up and down, left and right, and no distinction between first and last, fast and slow.

There is no past, present and future here. It is the cause of all results and the beginning of everything!

Meng Qi's soul sat cross-legged in it, his eyes half open and half closed, his aura was deep and chaotic, and it was difficult to describe it in words.

"There was obviously fluorescence, how could it return to silence?" A child from a noble family asked his companion in a low voice.

His companion smiled and said, "It means there is still a little bit left."

While speaking, the man turned his head to look at Fan Changmiao, bowed and nodded, as if to congratulate.

Fan Changmiao nodded in greeting, looking at the silent stone tablet and Meng Qi, his eyes full of doubts, could it be that he has not yet figured out his own path?

Wang Siyuan had been smiling all the time, without any surprise, and only raised his eyebrows when Qi Zhengyan showed abnormality, but now, his brows slightly frowned, thinking that his calculations seemed a little inaccurate...

Xiao Meng was very confident, he was not a blindly confident person... Wang Zai looked at Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan, two of Meng Qi's friends, and saw that they were all paying attention to the stone tablet. There was no disappointment, only doubt.

The Yuanshen sitting cross-legged did not change at all, or it could be said that it accommodated all changes.

The cause of all results, the beginning of everything, is Yuanshi.

Suddenly, Meng Qi's Yuanshen opened his eyes.

Chaos broke, the heavens appeared, the universe evolved, and the heaven and earth were formed!

At the same time, there seemed to be a breath bursting out from the gray-white, merging into this feeling.

The sun was shining brightly, and the golden light reflected on the stele. There was no light or shadow, no change, no words, and nothing except the stele itself.

At this time, Meng Qi opened his eyes, stood up and saluted, and walked towards the high platform.

"No strange phenomenon?"

"Crazy Blade is indeed a person with a higher combat power than his realm..."

"In terms of comprehension and thinking about the principles of heaven and earth, he is weaker than Fan Changmiao..."

Amid the discussions, Wang Zai closed his eyes and thought, thinking that this should not be the case. Suddenly, he heard a crisp sound.

All the sounds around him disappeared, and Wang Zai subconsciously opened his eyes, only to see the gray-white stele slowly cracking in the center!

With a cracking sound, the crack became longer and deeper.

The stele without words cracked, cracked... Even Wang Zai, who was cultivating his energy, was stunned. This was beyond his imagination.

Wang Siyuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and forgot to breathe.

Fan Changmiao's hand holding the sword tightened, and his eyes were blank.

The wordless stele cracked, cracked... The faces of the people who had just discussed it were confused and dumbfounded.

Cui Qingyu, the acting head of the Cui family, unconsciously jumped on his right hand on his knee, and Sima Shi, the chief constable of the Six Gates, took a deep breath.

No matter how powerful and profound the realm was, the important officials of the court had never seen such a thing before, and they were inevitably shocked.

The wordless stele cracked, cracked...

Snap, sizzle... Many teacups in the hands of the children of the noble families fell to the ground.

The old emperor could not hide his surprise and shock at first, and then his expression was extremely ugly. If the wordless stele was broken like this, how could he face his ancestors?

The cracking sound stopped, and the stone stele did not split into two. It was still deep, but the crack was deep and long. Compared with the previous fine traces on the stele, it was like the difference between a stream and a river.

Fortunately, it did not break... The old emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Amid the sound of people sucking in cold air, the old emperor sighed: "Kuang Dao should be the leader..."

He couldn't make an evaluation, his mood was up and down, and he needed to calm down.

Meng Qi only felt that his body was lively, and the restraints were reduced by one more layer. With the previous insights and the intersection of breath, he was only one opportunity away from a breakthrough!

Maybe it was the battle, maybe it was to find out why Su Ziyuan was sent to Shaolin...

"What a terrible Kuang Dao..."

"What did he realize that made the Wordless Monument unable to bear it?"

"Could it be because too many people realized it before?"

"What a joke, if there are too many people who realize it, the Wordless Monument will not be able to bear it, will the emperor take it out?"

"Maybe Kuang Dao is the first on the list of the strongest people in history..."

Amid the exclamations, Meng Qi walked steadily, his green shirt rustled, and he returned to his seat slowly.

Just after sitting down, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up, and he glanced at the Wordless Monument and saw a deep crack.

"Fortunately it didn't break, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay for it even if I sold myself..." Meng Qi secretly rejoiced. Of course, the Tathagata Palm could be compared to it.

Wang Zai glanced at Meng Qi, and it was rare that he could not control his emotions, as if he was looking at a monster covered in human skin: "This is the first time since the Monument Without Words appeared again."

For some reason, he secretly added that it was fortunate that it was lucky...

Meng Qi didn't know how to answer, so he had to half-jokingly say: "Everything has a first time."

Cough cough, Wang Siyuan coughed violently.

After a while of silence, the old emperor gave Meng Qi a glass of wine and continued, "The third question, in the world of martial arts, the country is established by martial arts. No matter how much you understand or how high your state of mind is, you will eventually have to fight. Yulin Garden has an illusion formation, which can simulate a deep valley, a high mountain, or a dangerous place, and it can allow the contestants to escape in times of danger. Anyone who wants to fight can enter."

"This battle is a chaotic battle, and the person who is finally sent out by the formation will be the champion."

So that's how it is. If you cooperate with your friends, you still have hope of winning... Meng Qi suddenly realized, but since it is an illusion formation, the weather and terrain must be considered, and there may be no way to contact your companions.

Cui Qingyu pondered for a moment and said, "Although there is a formation to protect and escape, if there is interference, it may be half a beat slower. They are all talented people, and it is a pity that they were defeated here."

The old emperor laughed and said, "Since Cui Qing's family is worried, I will release the ban and let you all attach a breath to my sons and nephews, and pull it out at the critical moment. Combined with the formation itself, it is foolproof."

Cui Qingyu nodded slightly and had no more opinions.

…………

Outside the palace, Dou Mu Yuanjun had already finished telling the past, closed her eyes in a secluded place, and seemed to be sensing something.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and whispered to herself: "It's started..."

I went out today for something, stayed up late to finish writing two chapters, and I won't whet your appetite, so I'll update together!

Well, it's gone tonight. In the name of the poor wordless monument, I ask for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets~
