The Tao Te Ching contains five thousand words and can be completed in the blink of an eye.
I stood up, put down the brush in my hand, and looked at my writing with great satisfaction.
Yin Xi on the side saw this and couldn't wait to step forward. He held the white paper in both hands, glanced at the words on the paper, and couldn't help but read:
"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao. The name can be named, but it is not the eternal name. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, named, the mother of all things..."
Along with Yin Xi's recitation, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be stimulated by something, and swarmed towards the official residence. In the blink of an eye, a huge spiritual energy whirlpool was formed. The closer to Yin Xi's position, the richer the spiritual energy became, and even...
The spiritual energy droplets condensed into substance and sprinkled in the room like a steady drizzle.
Wang Liangyu was stunned by this scene. Could just reciting it have such an effect?!
Yin Xi didn't realize it at all, and continued to read loudly. When he read it, his voice became more and more high-spirited, and finally he couldn't help but dance.
"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all living things like straw dogs. Saints are unkind and treat the common people like straw dogs. Between heaven and earth, are they just like chariots?"
After a while, Yin Xi finally recited the entire "Tao Te Ching", then put it down with a still unfinished expression, turned to thank me repeatedly, and finally asked about the title of the book.
Laozi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The first chapter talks about the fundamentals of the universe, including the mechanism of the changes in the heaven and earth, and the wonders of the changes of yin and yang. It is called the "Tao Jing"; the second chapter talks about the way to deal with the world, including the art of advancing and retreating in personnel.
The Tao that contains the long-term vision is called the "Moral Classic". The upper and lower chapters can be collectively called the "Moral Classic"!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden thunderous explosion in the sky and the earth, and a golden light fell from the sky, passed straight through the official residence, and landed on the pile of white papers on the desk.
Yin Xi was startled, and when she saw the golden light falling, she subconsciously rushed to protect the Tao Te Ching.
However, I had quick eyesight and quick hands. He raised his hand and an invisible force stopped Yin Xi, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Yin Xi was startled and took a closer look. The pile of white paper on which the "Tao Te Ching" was written was not damaged. Instead, it emitted a faint golden light, which was gentle and soft. Three large characters were printed out of thin air on the white paper on the title page.
Exactly, three words from the Tao Te Ching.
"A vision from heaven!" Yin Xi reacted instantly and was so happy that he lost control and roared, "This is the holy book!"
Wang Liangyu on the other side was also startled by this scene, and couldn't help but secretly speculate: "That golden light, could it be the legendary golden light of merit?" After a pause, he became confused again, "By the way, if there is really a golden light of merit, why?
There was no reaction at all when the paper was made? The merit of making paper should not be low, right?"
I looked calm, stretched out my hand to put the "Tao Te Ching" on the case table, which was inexplicably combined into a book under the golden light, flipped through it, and handed it to Wang Liangyu: "Liang Yu, this Tao Te Ching is
"I'll leave it to you!"
Hearing this, Wang Liangyu was stunned. Yin Xi was startled at first, and then showed a look of disappointment on his face.
I glanced at Yin Xi's expression, then looked at Wang Liangyu, and said seriously: "This "Tao Te Ching" was not written by me alone. Your past words are also included in it. It is only natural that this book should be entrusted to you!" After that!
, turned to look at Yin Xi, and said, "Although this book cannot be passed on to you, you can make a copy."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi turned from sadness to joy, rushed to the case, grabbed the brush with one hand and laid out the white paper with the other, then turned around and looked at Wang Liangyu pitifully.
Wang Liangyu casually handed over the copy of the Tao Te Ching.
Yin Xi took the original copy of the Tao Te Ching with both hands, put it respectfully on the table, and then copied it carefully.
Wang Liangyu withdrew his gaze, turned to look at me, and curiously asked about the golden light just now.
"That is the treasure of literature and art, a vision that can only appear in articles and astonishing books handed down from ancient times." Laozi explained, and then said, "Articles and books with the treasure of literature and education are invulnerable to water and fire, incorruptible and immortal.
And it can help readers better understand the subtle meanings contained in articles and books."
After hearing this, Wang Liangyu became more curious and asked: "What is literary education?"
"At the beginning of the birth of the human race, martial arts were used to establish a foothold in the ancient times. Later, the sage Cangjie of the human race created characters. After generations of sages of the human race pioneered, in addition to martial arts, they also created a cultivation method that uses words to enter the Tao.
Hundreds of schools of thought all come from literature." I explained with a faint smile.
Wang Liangyu frowned and asked puzzledly: "Confucianism and Legalism originated from the literary Taoism. I can understand that Taoism and military strategists have nothing to do with the literary Taoism, right?"
Confucianism and Legalism use the power of words to bring out flowers, and there is no doubt that they are derived from literature and art. However, Taoism is about refining qi, while military strategists are about gathering qi, which seems to have nothing to do with words. No matter how you look at it, they are not the same as literature and art.
"Wen Dao embraces all kinds of rivers. Whether it is Taoism, military strategists, or other schools of thought, their foundation is Wen Dao, and then they are integrated with other methods of practice. From this, the current schools of thought were born." Lao Tzu smiled lightly.
, explained, “Because the foundation originated from Wen Dao, they still belong to Wen Dao, just like the mainstream and tributaries.”
Wang Liangyu listened calmly, and when he thought of the benefits of the Wen Dao Baoguang, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, and thought to himself: "If I write some poems that are handed down from generation to generation, can I also get the Wen Dao Baoguang?"
However, this idea only flashed through Wang Liangyu's mind, and Wang Liangyu had no intention of taking action.
The Wen Dao Baoguang has great uses, but for Wang Liangyu, who practices martial arts, it is of little significance.
After a while, Yin Xi copied the "Tao Te Ching" and respectfully returned the copy to Wang Liangyu, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
Wang Liangyu was not as cautious as Yin Xi. He took the original and stuffed it into his arms. He turned to look at me and asked: "Now that this has happened, where should we go next?" As he said this, he looked past the official residence.
window, looking west, "continue west?"
Further west from Hangu Pass, that is the boundary of Qin State.
To be honest, Wang Liangyu is a little embarrassed to go to Qin now.
Because, with the rise of Ji Ren and the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin State's "remaining warriors of the sixth generation, vigorously developing strategies and conquering Yu Nei" may never appear, and Qin Shihuang will most likely be blown away by butterfly wings.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the culprit, Wang Liangyu feels a little guilty just thinking about it. How dare he go to Qin!
I didn't know what Wang Liangyu was thinking at this moment. He hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "The princes are silent, you are no longer in danger, and you don't have to walk with me anymore!"
When Wang Liangyu heard this, it was right to think about it. I took him to the west to avoid the princes. Now that the limelight is over, no one dares to provoke me, so there is no need to follow me anymore.
After thinking about it, Wang Liangyu thought about the white apes he had not seen for a long time, and decided to go find them after leaving Hangu Pass.
With this thought in his mind, Wang Liangyu asked casually: "Where are you going, senior? Continue westward to Qin?"
"Don't go to Qin, go outside and have a look!" I shook my head and replied meaningfully.
Wang Liangyu didn't react at first. After a while, he realized what I meant by "outside" and said anxiously: "Go outside?" After saying that, he grabbed my hand eagerly and said, "There really is an outside.
world?"
Lao Tzu once mentioned to Wang Liangyu the theory of big and small heavens and earth, saying that the world here is just a small world, and there is a broader world beyond the heaven and earth.
I gently held Wang Liangyu's restless hand, nodded, and said softly: "Go for a walk outside and take a look, so that you can better understand the world and the avenue."
Wang Liangyu pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, but finally did not say anything about going out together.
Wang Liangyu once speculated that the wider world outside was most likely the legendary prehistoric world, that prehistoric world where "golden immortals walked everywhere, and the great Luo was not as good as a dog."
With Wang Liangyu's current body, once he enters the wilderness, he will die if he is not careful. How can Wang Liangyu dare to risk it?
I didn’t persuade you either.
After resting for a night in the official residence of Hangu Pass, I rode a Banjiao Qingniu the next day and said goodbye and left the pass.
Wang Liangyu, Ah Qing and Yin Xi saw him off together. The three of them followed me and walked out of Hangu Pass together.
However, when the three of them left Hangu Pass City, there was no sign of me in front of them outside the Pass City!
"Where are the people?" Wang Liangyu was startled. He looked around and even tried to find out the mental strength of all sentient beings, but he still could not find any trace of me.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Liangyu suddenly came to his senses and muttered: "Are you going outside now?"
While speaking, Wang Liangyu raised his head to look at the sky, and found a strange disturbance in the mid-air. It must be the movement left by me when I passed through the barrier between heaven and earth!
Yin Xizheng on the side was shocked and frightened because of my disappearance. He turned around and heard Wang Liangyu's words. His thoughts moved and he asked curiously: "What's outside?" Then, with a worried look on his face, he asked, "Master, nothing will happen.
Bar?"
Wang Liangyu shook his head and did not elaborate. He just said:
"Senior has attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, there is no need to worry!"
