Chapter 48: The Ming Tombs tell old stories
Xu Yourong said a few days ago that if you want to know the situation in the Heavenly Book Tomb, you can have people. Even if the Holy Queen Mother doesn't say it, someone will definitely know it. Since it is the matter of the Heavenly Book Tomb, who else can know better than this person in this world? This person has been sitting in the Heavenly Book Tomb for hundreds of years.
She and Chen Changsheng walked through the clear canal water, came to the pavilion, and saluted to the person below the pavilion.
There are very few people in the world who are qualified to let her and Chen Changsheng bow at the same time, but the person under the pavilion is different after all.
The most famous general in the mainland has a history, with a very high age, the oldest, and a very profound realm. Many years ago, he was infinitely close to the sacred realm. He was invincible on the battlefield. The only one in the world who can be compared with those legendary generals back then is incomparable. Xu Shiji, Xuehe and the rivers are simply incomparable. Even the wind and rain in all directions are hard to say that they are safely defeated him.
What makes the world most awe-inspiring is that this man has been guarding the Heavenly Book Mausoleum for hundreds of years and has not left, as if he wants to sit here until the end of his life.
"Hello, I am Xu Yourong. I am here to ask my seniors for a few questions."
Xu Yourong whispered as she looked at the man in the armor.
Because of being covered, it was impossible to confirm whether the man in the armor had opened his eyes, but Chen Changsheng saw it very clearly. Some dust in the gap in the armor suddenly flew up, flying in the sun like a very small moth. At the same time, he felt it very clearly. A pair of gazes that seemed to be iron spears fell on him and Xu Yourong.
"Who is your teacher?"
An old voice came from the depths of the armor, as if it was covered with rust, and it seemed extremely vicissitudes.
Xu Yourong said, "I am from Nanxizhai."
Nanxizhai is divided into outer doors and inner doors, but only contemporary saints or direct descendants can walk in the world under the name of Nanxizhai.
The winter light fell on the surface of the armor, without adding warmth, but instead seemed even colder, like a sound coming from the armor.
"Why didn't she come by herself?"
"The master said that her senior could not answer her question back then, and now she could not answer it either, so I left this opportunity to me."
"Then you ask."
"How many Heavenly Book Monuments were taken away in the Heavenly Book Mausoleum?"
?The arrogant vision fell on the armor of the general through the flying dust and the winter light, which was very calm and gentle.
But her problem was so direct and terrifying, as if the divine way on the southern foot of the Heavenly Book of Heavenly Books was about to pierce the sky.
Chen Changsheng glanced at her and thought that the historical gods were guarding the Heavenly Book Tomb for hundreds of years, and what he guarded was the divine way and secrets of the Heavenly Book Tomb. There are many Heavenly Book monuments not in the Heavenly Book Tomb, but are lost. This is undoubtedly the biggest secret of the Heavenly Book Tomb. How could he answer you?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the old and cold voice came out of the armor.
“Twelve seats.”
Chen Changsheng was a little surprised when he heard this answer. First, the historical general was willing to answer this question, and secondly, the answer itself.
He and Xu Yourong looked at each other and saw each other's surprise - are there twelve celestial steles wandering outside?
"Is it all taken by that person?" Xu Yourong continued to ask as he looked at the person under the pavilion.
“Eleven.”
"Where is one more?"
"It was taken by Emperor Taizu."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng remembered the notes Wang Zhice hid in Lingyan Pavilion.
In the notes, Wang Zhice once mentioned that Taizu was imprisoned in the palace in his later years, indulging in his sensuality, and finally gave him something...
"Zhou Dufu took away the Heavenly Book Monument, so the Qianling was said to have the saying?"
"Yes, so the current Tianshu Mausoleum is actually thirteen tombs."
A broken monument is the boundary monument, and the twelve monuments are naturally the thirteen mausoleums. This is not a particularly difficult calculation question. (Note)
"Where are those silhouettes of heaven... now?"
Xu Yourong finally asked the most critical question.
Before coming to the Shinto Pavilion, she and Chen Changsheng thought that all the steles of heavenly calligraphy were in their hands, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"No one knows where the Heavenly Book Monument that the man snatched away is now."
Hearing the sound from the armor, Chen Changsheng lowered his head and said nothing, thinking that he knew it.
"But there is a stele of heavenly books...it should be in the hands of the Demon Lord."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were finally shocked.
The mountain monument was silent, and the clear shallow water in the canal was slowly flowing, without any sound.
"What's the use of them snatching these Heavenly Book Monuments?"
"First of all, this has exceeded the scope of what I promised Nanxizhai. Secondly, if I knew, why would I sit here for hundreds of years?"
After saying this, no sound rang out again.
The winter wind whistled inside and outside the pavilion, carrying the dust on the armor, shattering the clear cold light, and the god general seemed to have turned into a statue again.
After leaving the pavilion and returning to Xun Mei's courtyard, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong looked at the plum blossoms outside the fence and were silent for a moment.
"There were eleven heavenly scripts in the beginning around Zhouling. If the heavenly scripts that Wang Zhice obtained from Emperor Taizu was not there before, it means that we were all wrong at the beginning. When we entered Zhouyuan, we took the heavenly scripts in the beginning, and forced Zhou Dufu to suppress the person with thousands of swords, it was not Wang Zhice, but the Demon Lord."
"The Heavenly Book Monument is now in the hands of the Demon Lord, and there are still eleven in our hands."
Xu Yourong turned around and looked at him and said softly: "Don't worry too much."
In addition to Chen Changsheng, she had seen the ten heavenly calligraphy monuments around Zhou Ling with her own eyes and the black stone that Chen Changsheng took out from the scabbard. Since Zhou Garden has been restarted, Chen Changsheng should have eleven heavenly calligraphy monuments in his hand, but that night he took out ten pieces by the palace window.
Xu Yourong never asked him where there was another Heavenly Book Monument, which she could probably guess. Even if it was divided equally according to what Chen Changsheng said, they should have had ten of them. The black stone that Emperor Taizu secretly gave the king's plan and then passed on to Chen Changsheng was originally what he brought into Zhouyuan, and it was his own thing.
“I never worry about whether the worlds I have not yet been able to enter will get lost.”
Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, "I'm just worried that you will bear some undesirable pressure because of me."
This is a question they have never discussed.
Xu Yourong is a contemporary southern saint. She has been regarded as the future leader of the human world since she was a child. She has been accustomed to living with a sense of responsibility since she was born.
At the snow temple on the grassland, she once told him that this kind of life is indeed a bit tiring, but she has become accustomed to it. The reappearance of the Heavenly Book Monument is a very important thing for the human world, and it may even affect the strength comparison between humans and demons. With her heart of Taoism in embracing the world, if this matter was not related to Chen Changsheng, she would have already announced this matter to the world and then put these Heavenly Book Monument back into the Heavenly Book Monument.
That snowy night, Chen Changsheng only remembered this problem after handing the five stone beads to her.
He didn't want her to bear this pressure.

(Note: Actually, in order to get enough of the Thirteen Tombs, I still checked it carefully. Then, see you at 8 o'clock in the evening, I am really ready to use all the manuscripts to break the updates.)
