Great Blue Night Watchman

Lin Su increased his speed and slid past Wang Chengcheng. The next moment, he slid past the four or five people in front of him. In the swamp ahead, on a colorful lotus boat, the fourth prince Chu Feng suddenly turned around.

Qinglian said that the two of them have actually met before, but they have absolutely no intersection with each other. This time may be the closest they have ever been to each other.

Brother Lin! Chu Feng Qingzhou moved forward without slowing down, bowing slightly.

Your Highness the Fourth Prince! Lin Su also bowed slightly.

During the examination that day, I was thinking, who is the talented man who wrote The Sapphire Case?

Your Highness, you're welcome!

This Qinglian discussion, I originally wanted to enjoy the beauty of Haiyan with Brother Lin and recite poems to remember it, but...this wish finally came true, which is a huge regret.

Lin Su smiled faintly: Why must it fail?

Chu Feng pointed at his feet: How can a green lotus enter the eye of the sea?

Lin Su laughed and chanted in a sweet voice: The journey is difficult, the journey is difficult, and there are many divergent roads. Where are you now? There will be strong winds and waves, and there will be times when you can hang up your sails and sail across the sea!

As soon as the voice fell, another colorful light appeared on his green lotus petals!

A colorful poem on the spot!

With a chirp, he surpassed Chu Feng and galloped into the distance.

Chu Feng stared at his back disappearing into the wind and waves, his expression slowly changed...

He finally experienced Lin Su's terror for himself.

Lin Su did not directly say Is it difficult for a green lotus to fall into the sea?, but read a poem.

The journey is difficult and there are many wrong paths, but so what?

There will be times when the wind blows and the waves break, so hang up your sails and sail across the sea!

Bold, free and easy, unrestrained!

The artistic conception of this poem was beyond his reach!

He, Chu Feng, is known as the outstanding poet of the younger generation, and countless people even call him the number one person of the younger generation. But today, Lin Su showed him the insurmountable gap with just one poem.

Even if his achievements in Qinglian's Taoism leave him far behind, this shadow will still be there today, tomorrow, and every day of his existence.

…

The quagmire that tightly locked the adulthood of the great Confucian king of poetry and Taoism was, to Lin Su, just a light leaf of dust!

He broke out of the quagmire in the blink of an eye, and a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared in front of him!

Lin Su dove in head first.

In the front are the words from the Tao Te Ching, behind are the mysteries of Lun Yu, on the left is the Spring and Autumn, on the right is the Code, and there are various kinds of words, Taoist, Legalist, Confucian, military strategist Yes, from the Za family...

The scriptures and scriptures of each sect are like a wall. When combined together, they spin at high speed and form a huge whirlpool.

Lin Su was at a loss for a moment.

He vaguely knew that there would be a passage behind these scriptures, but he was not sure which one to choose.

On the Green Lotus Boat, the image was aimed at this whirlpool, but they could not see anything, only this strange whirlpool...

Although the contestants inside the whirlpool could not be seen or heard, the leaders' eyes flickered, and it was obvious that they did not dare to despise the whirlpool...

The leader of the Southeast Buddhist Kingdom spoke up: Whirlpool of literary and moral education, at this level, people with high literary positions have a huge advantage.

For the first time, the leader of the Xitian Fairy Kingdom agreed with his statement: Yes! People with high literary status have already passed the threshold of choosing a path, and there is no difficulty in choosing. However, the Wenxin class is facing such a torment in life. How can it be done? Can it be settled so easily?

The literary whirlpool is actually the choice of direction by the literati. Once a choice is made, it will directly affect their literary positioning, and it will also affect the choice of literary path and the definition of literary style. This can be said to be the most difficult choice in a literary person's life.

How many people have struggled for decades before finally finding their way.

But now, they only have two days at most when they enter this vortex!

It’s so difficult to find the path for your future life in two days!

People in the literary world do not have this difficulty in choosing.

They had already passed this stage when they established the literary world.

Therefore, Wu Xinyue took one step forward and painted the way!

Step out of the wind dance, happy way!

Mo Qing steps out, Mo Dao!

Li Guihan, Taoist...

In an instant, all the dozen or so people in the first sequence were gone, and Lin Su was the only one inside the whirlpool!

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour...

The green lotus under his feet rotated gently, and the vortex outside was also rotating silently. He could not see other people, and others could not see him.

On the Green Lotus Boat, they couldn't understand the whirlpool anyway, so they stopped paying attention. Their focus moved to the third level of the inner sea.

Go against the current!

There are three levels of learning, each with its own emphasis.

The first level is the quagmire of learning, where you can make a difference and test your achievements in literature and art;

The second level is the whirlpool of the sea of ​​learning. The way out is the way out. You must be clear about your direction;

The third level is that learning goes against the current, and strength comes out. You must have enough literary power.

All three levels are difficult, but the most difficult one is the third level.

The third level is really about combat power, and there is no trickery or chance.

Even Wu Xinyue, who always ranked first, came out of the whirlpool and ran up the countercurrent pass. The countercurrent surged back, and he couldn't help but retreat ten feet. This countercurrent was simply beyond the power of human beings to resist.

But as soon as Wu Xinyue's literary spirit came out, the green lotus under his feet suddenly turned golden and moved upstream along the countercurrent...

Mo Qing was in the same situation. He was beaten back at first, but soon the green lotus turned into a golden lotus, all the way up...

Taoist saint Li Xiangran, the green lotus turned into a golden lotus, and went upstream...

Feng Wu was different from Li Guihan. They were transformed from Qinglian to Anemone. Although they were also swimming upstream, their speed was much slower than the previous ones.

The leader of the Southeast Buddhist Kingdom sighed softly: Dean Li, is this countercurrent barrier a temple setting?

Li Tien said: This is not set up by the temple, but by the Taoism preparatory team.

The discussion preparation group was composed of Li Tien and the top elders of the major holy families.

The leader of the Southeast Buddhist Kingdom said: Since it is not a temple setting, there is something I don't know whether to say or not.

Dean Guo, please speak!

The leader of the Southeast Buddhist Kingdom is Guo Chengqian, the dean of his own Gongyuan.

Guo Chengqian said: I think that the threshold for this countercurrent is set too high. With such a force, the ordinary literary spirit of a literary scholar is simply not enough to overcome this barrier. As a result, 90% of Taoists will be defeated. Is it too cruel to drink hatred at this level?

Literary practice and literary spirit are different.

A scholar is the literary spirit of a scholar, a scholar is the literary spirit of a great scholar, and a great scholar is the literary spirit of a great scholar. When he reaches the literary world, his literary spirit turns into a silver spiritual spirit, and when he reaches the literary world, his literary spirit turns into a golden spiritual spirit.

The culture of each level is very different, the quality is very different, and the functions are also different.

No matter how impressive a great Confucian man is, he cannot use the great Confucian literary spirit to create a treasure of literary tradition. This is the reason why the nature and function of the two are completely different.

——The cultural gap is insurmountable!

This countercurrent pass is extremely difficult even on the silver path. It is conceivable that as long as one has not broken the Wenlu path, this pass is basically a no-brainer.

Guo Chengqian became angry just because he considered that there was no one in the Southeast Buddhist Kingdom's team that had any literary skills and that the entire army would be wiped out at this level.

The leader of the Xitian Immortal Kingdom also said: The fundamental purpose of Qinglian's discussion of Taoism is to promote the Taoism and gather the strengths of many families. If the threshold is too strict, it will easily deviate from this purpose and will allow future generations of Qinglian to participate. If you only focus on the literary position and not on anything else, Qinglian's path of discussing Taoism will become narrower and narrower.

Team leaders from other countries also spoke up, saying that there were some problems with this setup.

A countercurrent barrier can only be passed by people in the literary world or in the literary world. Others have no chance at all.

What will the participants of Qinglian’s Taoism think in the future?

They will only choose those with high literary positions. In the end, Qinglian's discussion has become a gathering of people from the literary world. How many people are there in the literary world in the world? This kind of grand event that breaks away from the mainstream team will have a narrower road, rather than the wider and wider road that the temple expects...

The objection raised by everyone is actually an opinion against the organizer of the conference.

This year's Qinglian Forum has attracted a large number of literary and half-step literary circles from the Holy Family. This is a dimensionality-reducing blow to the other Nine Kingdoms and Seven States. Now there is a setting that is obviously biased towards literary positions. It is clear that it is conducive to The Holy Family is not conducive to the Nine Kingdoms and Seven States.

The Southeast Buddhist Kingdom and the Western Immortal Kingdom were the first to attack, and other countries also expressed their opinions. The evil consequences planted by the Holy Family based on their own selfishness finally aroused dissatisfaction.

Several saint elders looked at each other, and Li Tien's face became heavy.

In fact, not only people from other countries have opinions about this setting, but he himself has opinions. He is from Nanyang Ancient Kingdom after all, and Nanyang Ancient Kingdom only has one Wen Lu participating in the competition. How could he want to see the introduction of such a rule that favors Wen position setting? ah? But he had no choice. He was also a minister of Nanyang Ancient Kingdom. In order to please the Holy Family, His Majesty agreed to this rule. What could he do?

I can only explain it with difficulty...

What you all said is indeed reasonable, but you are overthinking it. After all, this level is the third level of the Inland Sea. After passing this level, you will reach the Eye of the Sea, and the Eye of the Sea is obviously not something that a great scholar can enter, and a scholar with a literary heart will not be able to enter it. Haiyan, whether there is such a difficulty here will not affect the final result. And this difficulty can serve as a warning to the literary scholars, letting them understand that in the literary world, there are strict hierarchies that cannot be exceeded - which is also a good intention for hosting the conference.

The rules for this year have been formulated, and the people of the next year will have to worry about the rules for the next year. I will take your opinions back with us, hoping that the rules of the next event will be more optimized...

The team leaders from each country looked at each other and stopped arguing.

What the dean said still makes sense.

This is the end of the Inland Sea. Beyond the Inland Sea is the Eye of the Sea. No scholar can pass the Eye of the Sea anyway. With this checkpoint, you can get ten green lotuses from the Inner Sea. Without this checkpoint, you can still get ten green lotuses from the Inner Sea. No real impact.

Let’s look at these literary paths and the competition in the literary world!

This countercurrent pass is surprisingly long. In about three hours, Wu Xinyue at the front has only walked a third of the way, and the speed has slowed down.

Not to mention everyone else.

This group of people spent almost no time on the outer sea, and the first two levels on the inland sea did not take two hours combined. The level that really consumes time is this level. It is initially estimated that it will take at least ten for them to complete the entire journey. hour!

These ten hours are an extreme test for them.

Sail against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat!

Here, they have to concentrate all the time and mobilize all their literary energy. How terrible is the consumption of literary energy? If the background is slightly poor, it is impossible to cross.

A few hours passed, and a few more people were added to the team.

The elders of the Dharma Saint Family finally caught up.

Another half-step literary circle of Hua Sheng Sheng Family also caught up.

The final pattern formed is that there are 12 people in Nigliu Pass, and there are exactly two from each of the six holy families!

Guo Chengqian and the leader of Xitian Fairy Kingdom looked at each other and wanted to say something, but in the end they reached a tacit agreement and remained silent.

If allowed to speculate, these two people might say: Qinglian's discussion of Taoism ended up being a show for the Holy Family. What's going on?

As for others, there are people paying attention.

Wei Xinyu paid attention to Wang Chengcheng. He was worried that Wang Chengcheng would fall into the quagmire. Wang Chengcheng's hair was messed up and veins popped out on his face. But after four hours, he still persisted. He seemed to have figured it out. He couldn't get out of the quagmire anyway. , then just spend the New Year in the quagmire...

Wei Xinyu is more worried about the other two people, namely Xie Yun and Yang Huaisu. The inner sea is so terrifying, can these two people really be qualified? You need to know that Wang Chengcheng's shortcomings are also their shortcomings. The most prominent one is Xie Yun. Xie Yun has no literary achievements, not even a few golden poems. The only thing he is good at is the Thousand Machine Algorithm. But there is no summary. Publishing a book called Thousand Machines Algorithm cannot be regarded as a truly effective literary achievement.

What he was really worried about was what he was worried about. Just when he had this idea, a figure entered the inland sea from the outer sea. It was Xie Yun!

Xie Yun stepped into the inner sea and immediately fell into the quagmire. No matter how hard he tried, the seven green lotuses under his feet still could not support his sinking. He tried hard in the inner sea, and Wei Xinyu also tried hard on the green lotus boat. For a whole As time passed, Xie Yun's Qinglian broke apart and was swallowed by the sea water below. The next moment, Xie Yun was teleported back to Qinglian's main boat, with a look of shame on his face and trembling all over...

Wei Xinyu's eyes slowly closed, and his heart felt completely cold.

Qinglian's discussion is not over yet, but the fate of the Da Cang team has been decided.

Because Xie Yun opened the first gap.

He fell into the water, and not only did the mission in his name (adding ten more green lotuses) come to naught, but even his original seven green lotuses were all gone!

Then, the ideal Qinglian number for the entire Da Cang team becomes 68!

Even if Wang Chengcheng survives to the end, and even if no one else has any problems, Da Cang will only have 68 green lotuses at most, which is a lot lower than the previous green lotus!

Failed!

Big defeat!

The only hope now is Yelang Kingdom, which should not exceed 68 green lotuses. If Da Cang is beaten to the bottom of the Nine Kingdoms, Wei Xinyu feels that he may need to commit suicide to apologize...

Lin Su seemed to be ignored by everyone.

In fact, he himself forgot where he was for a long time...

Facing the whirlpool in front of him was like facing the confusion in his own heart...

Which path did he choose?

Bingdao, no! There is more than just the art of war in his life!

Confucianism and Taoism, no! There is more than Confucianism and Taoism in his life!

Dharma, Taoism, music, Mohism, miscellaneous...

It seems that every path has appeared in his life, but every path is not his path. He can close his eyes and step out, no matter what path he takes, but if he takes this step, he will be tied to Determined his future path.

Therefore, he could never take this step.

One hour, two hours, three hours, five hours!

Lin Su closed his eyes, with various conflicts in his mind...

Suddenly, his eyes flew open!

Use your hands together to break off half of the lotus leaves on his green lotus...

There are many avenues to choose from. I will follow my own path with my heart!

Half of the lotus leaf was drawn down in his hand, and the whirlpool in front of him was divided into two halves. Lin Su drove out in the boat and broke out of hundreds of whirlpools!

Mingdao!

His way is made clear!

That's the way to kill yourself with Banye Qinglian!

This chop!

He let go of the entanglements swirling in his heart.

This chop!

He has gone his own way!
