Ren Zhengan looked up at the sky, his expression seemed a little melancholy.
He thought about the hard work of carrying water and cutting trees back then, and it took him a long time to build such a simple hut from cutting down trees to finally building it.
This is a very boring day. If he had such skills, why would he bother like this?
"How did you do it?" Ren Zhengan started to get to the point.
"At first I just wanted to use it to scoop water..."
Su Wen spread his hands and expressed his original simple thoughts, but in the end, he was shocked by what he had created.
"Xiaoyaoyou? Zhuangzi?!"
"Are you sure you have this thing?"
After listening to Su Wen's words, Ren Zhengan became uneasy.
He has read the chapter of "Zhuangzi". As an extraordinary historian, the most basic requirement is to be proficient in the sayings of hundreds of schools of thought, but he has never heard of the chapter that Su Wen mentioned.
Su Wen then memorized the content in two paragraphs.
"I'm sure... I haven't heard of it."
Ren Zhengan sighed with emotion: "It turns out to be a posthumous chapter..."
"Can this be a posthumous chapter?"
Su Wen was shocked: "Hey, "Happy Journey"! It's the beginning!"
If even "Xiaoyaoyou" is a posthumous chapter, then in this world, "Zhuangzi" has been lost since the beginning?
After questioning, the two compared the "Zhuangzi" they knew, and Su Wen discovered that the "Zhuangzi" in this world actually only has extra chapters.
As for the outer chapters of "Zhuangzi"... After research by later generations, these articles were not written by Zhuangzi himself... In other words, when people in this world read Zhuangzi, they feel lonely...
"Internal chapter..."
Ren Zhengan let out a sigh of relief: "Have you mastered the Taoist approach?"
But after looking at Su Wen up and down, he couldn't find anything about Su Wen that showed the Taoist sequence.
Su Wen shook his head: "I was just promoted to a legal person..."
"What does Legalism...have to do with Zhuangzi?"
Ren Zhengan's eyes widened.
Legalism and Taoism are closely related, but no matter how great the connection is, it is impossible to gain insight into the classic and mysterious knowledge of Taoism when one is promoted to the Legalist order.
"The broken copy in the library of Qingshan Academy? You lied to me, right?"
Ren Zhengan didn't believe Su Wen's words. Although he had never been to Qingshan Academy, an academy that had only been established for a few decades had a rich history. And the Academy Chief Qian Haoran was a pure Confucian extraordinary, and it was impossible for him to be a Taoist scholar.
There has been a lot of progress on the way.
But Ren Zhengan doesn't want to get entangled in this issue. Everyone has secrets, especially for extraordinary people. Some secrets are related to the foundation of extraordinary people and must not be revealed to others.
"There are seven articles in total?"
Ren Zhengan was also shocked when he heard that Su Wen mentioned that there were many chapters in "Zhuangzi".
"Give me pen and paper."
Su Wen did not hesitate and wrote the seven inner chapters of Zhuangzi silently.
But the whole process was not as easy as Su Wen imagined. He could write "Xiaoyaoyou" silently easily, but when writing "Equality of Things", the brush broke after writing a few sentences. Fortunately, he used small ink.
The spitted ink itself has extraordinary properties, and the written words will not collapse on themselves.
"It's really a good thing..."
When Ren Zheng'an realized that the words written by Su Wen contained profound extraordinary meanings, he decided in his heart that this thing could never be a book from Qingshan Academy.
How could Qingshan Academy have such a good thing? Even if it did, it should have been carefully collected by Qian Haoran and then used to brag about it in front of Taoist friends all day long.
Then Ren Zhengan released his extraordinary power.
He not only released his power, but also lent his extraordinary power to Su Wen.
This is also one of Ren Zheng'an's special skills: transplanting flowers and grafting trees. His extraordinary power can be easily borrowed or shared with extraordinary people in any way. Not only will the power not be weakened, but it will be strengthened.
"Phew... it feels much easier..."
Su Wen originally thought that he would not be able to finish "Equality of Things", but with Ren Zheng'an's help, his aching head instantly felt cool, and his thoughts seemed to become more agile.
So he wrote like the wind.
"On the Equality of Things"
"Health Master"
"The Human World"
…
"It's really...the supreme treasure of Taoism!"
When Su Wen wrote the title "The Seventh Emperor Ying", Ren Zhengan felt that his extraordinary power was almost drained.
He has always been confident in his extraordinary power, and his Sequence 4 Historian path was made up of nine Sequence 4 extraordinary powers.
This is also the reason why his Sequence Four dares to ignore the extraordinary Sequence Five, and even dares to challenge the Sequence Six.
He alone is equivalent to nine. If Shi Jia's extraordinary power is added, it is the superposition of ten extraordinary beings.
And it's not a simple superposition. For each way of sequential promotion, he can obtain one or two envoy skills. The skills have different focuses, but they basically give him superimposed power. In a dangerous place like Guixu, he can also
Walked sideways.
However, Su Wen only wrote a few articles and exhausted the extraordinary power he borrowed. How could he not subvert his cognition?
"You won't be so tired after fighting against the Golden Horned King for three days and three nights, right? No, it would have to be Dagon himself to be so tired..."
But as a man, especially Ren Zhengan, who claimed to be the strongest person among historians throughout the ages, he would not give in easily. He immediately activated the context, and a steady stream of power was released again.
"Good guy!"
Su Wen was refreshed and started writing faster.
During the writing process, he faintly felt that a cultural context was sprouting deep in his consciousness.
He had this feeling when he recited "Xiaoyaoyou", but he was intoxicated with the whirlwind skill at the time and did not pay serious attention to it.
But at this time, this context has been revealed.
"The...context of the Taoist approach?"
Su Wen took a deep breath.
"Doesn't this mean...that I have been promoted to the extraordinary path of Taoism?"
Su Wen knew about the Taoist Sequence One promotion ceremony.
First of all, you can recite the "Tao Te Ching", and then you have to use ethereal talismans and various materials to prepare secret medicine. After performing the ceremony, you will be promoted to a enlightened person. As for the next step...
"Taoist Path Sequence Two Knowledge of Virtue..." A series of names popped up in Su Wen's mind.
"...How do I know?"
With the emergence of Taoist sequence two names, promotion methods, and secret medicine formulas, Su Wen's ritual may have become sequence one of the Taoist path.
But!
"The third sequence of Taoist pathways is Xiaoyaoyou..."
When the third serial number of the Taoist path, the secret medicine formula and the promotion path came to mind, Su Wencai realized that his gains seemed to be more than the first serial number.
"Good guy...are you getting promoted now?"
Ren Zhengan's eyes were as wide as bells.
He seemed to think he had found the truth.
When Su Wen was promoted to Legalism, he accidentally got a glimpse of the classic secrets of Taoism - although this kind of thing is rare, it is not impossible to happen, especially when Su Wen already mastered some basic knowledge of Taoism, otherwise it would not be possible.
Become an extraordinary historian.
But being able to achieve promotion unintentionally and peeking into such important Taoist classics only shows that Su Wen has amazing talent in the Taoist path. Given time, he might become a Taoist saint.
Yes, a saint, not a sub-sage!
Otherwise, how would it be possible to recite the seven posthumous chapters of "Zhuangzi" silently? Although there is Zhuangzi in this world, Taoists still reserve their attitude towards those contents, and do not recognize that they have too profound roots in their own teachings. Some even believe that this is extraordinary.
It is their knowledge.
But no one expressed too much condemnation of the Zajia's rhetoric. After all, the Zajia have long been accustomed to saying that any academic they point to is theirs. Moreover, the Zajia is not just talking, but the useful ones of each university.
The theories are blended into the parts they need, and the contradictions can be accommodated. Other schools are also happy to see the results, and see whether the miscellaneous scholars can obtain new discoveries from it.
"Sequence two!"
Ren Zhengan noticed Su Wen's change.
Su Wen could clearly see everything from his accumulation of Taoist literary spirit to his breakthrough from Sequence One to Sequence Two.
During the entire process, Su Wen did not undergo a promotion ceremony or take any secret medicine.
Ren Zhengan donated some extraordinary attributes and helped Su Wen advance to Sequence One.
But his gift was still not enough.
But the chapter Su Wen wrote released enough extraordinary attributes to send Su Wen directly to Sequence Two.
Others may not know the reason for this, but it is impossible for historians not to know.
"A gift from heaven..."
"The one favored by heaven!"
Ren Zhengan looked at Su Wen, whose eyes were still a little confused. He had always been very proud, and suddenly he understood what jealousy was.
The Taoist context...favoured the young man in front of him.
"Maybe it's more than that..."
Ren Zhengan shook his head, rolled up the article written by Su Wen, and put it into his treasure bag.
When Su Wen was writing, Ren Zhengan had already memorized the contents. However, he was still unable to fully understand some of its mysteries.
But there is one thing that Ren Zhengan is confident about. As long as he understands these articles thoroughly, he will definitely be able to advance to Taoist Sequence Five or even Sequence Six without any obstacles.
He even believed that these seven articles corresponded to the seven sequences of the Taoist approach. Although it is a bit sensational, it is not unreasonable after all.
Otherwise...the remaining chapters of "Zhuangzi" that have disappeared in the long river of history are not five chapters, not eight chapters, but seven chapters?
"Sure enough, life will be terrifying!"
Ren Zhengan gently patted Su Wen on the shoulder: "You are finally somewhat qualified to be promoted to the second level of the Historian Series, but the road is still a bit long. Your qualifications are mediocre, so you have to keep working hard!"
"I know, Lao Ren!"
Su Wen nodded seriously.
He deeply agrees with Ren Zhengan's evaluation. After all, his knowledge comes from another world, not his own. If he wants to survive in Guixu, there is no better way than to desperately improve his strength.
Ren Zhengan came and went in a hurry, explaining to Su Wen why he was suddenly promoted to Taoist Sequence Two. He did not forget to ask Su Wen to explain the skills of the whirlwind clearly. In the end, Su Wen wrote a thousand-word explanation, which Ren Zhengan accepted.
, he was very satisfied and left Su Wen a book written by him before drifting away.
