Wudang

Chapter 32

The text is very small and a little hard to read.

Zhang Junbao couldn't help but raised the gold leaf, placed it in front of his eyes, and then squinted his eyes towards the sun to make it clearer.

"In the beginning, it was too easy, there was no image and no form. You don't know what is heavy and turbid, and whoever distinguishes light and clear... The formless is the way, and there is no image at all. There are thousands of changes, and nothing is unpredictable... Taiyin is born, and the water level is the essence. Responding to danger, turtles and snakes form together. Traveling around nine places, controlling all spirits..."

"There is no image, no shape, and hidden good fortune. There are doors and households in the universe. Whoever is poor is not in the color, and the root is not in the sky...Lonely in the universe and everything, and experience the Yunyuan Gong from the beginning...To find quality in what is there, who is there Can see the invisible..."

"Hidden in the box of the spirit sword, it gathers the emotions of Dao. The heart of the sword can't be rested... The three-foot sword of justice... This sword is in the world, and it can be restrained by a hundred demons... The world will never have thoughts, but it can rest the soldiers of the world..."

"The sky escapes the universe and seizes the good fortune, and there is no image, no form, and wishful work."

There are many gaps between almost every verse, which is obviously incomplete.

This is not a pure scripture, but a skill, and even a sword technique, which Zhang Junbao can still comprehend.

It's a pity that there are many scriptures missing in the middle, and it is impossible to comprehend the specific content and moves of the exercises. It seems that the incomplete scriptures still occupy most of the scriptures, and the text on this gold leaf is only a small part.

After all, the blank space inside occupies more space.

After pondering over the incomplete text, Zhang Junbao's eyes suddenly widened.

"Isn't it? Tiandun swordsmanship?" Zhang Junbao suppressed the surprise in his heart and whispered.

"Hidden in the spiritual sword box... the three-foot sword of justice... can rest the world's soldiers" is obviously a sword formula.

Zhang Junbao noticed it at first glance, but just thought it was a sword formula.

Now after careful consideration, combined with the "Heavenly Dungeon Seizes Good Fortune" mentioned later, the sword technique should be the Heavenly Dungeon swordmanship.

Zhang Junbao had heard his master mention Tiandun swordsmanship earlier.

Senior Zheng Yin and Zheng Huolong, who are the same as the master, once taught Lu Zu Lu Dongbin the Tiandun swordsmanship.

When I heard it, I thought it was a myth.

From this point of view, there really is a Tiandun swordsmanship, but I don't know if it was passed down to Senior Zheng Huolong, or it is a swordsmanship named after it by later generations.

In addition to swordsmanship, there is another skill, which should be wishful skill.

This is even more obvious, as can be seen from the "Wuxiang Wuxing Ruyi Gong".

"No image, no form?" Zhang Junbao muttered silently.

In the incomplete scriptures displayed in the gold leaf, it is mentioned many times that there is no image and no form. It can be seen that the essence of Ruyi Gong is that there is no image and no form.

He couldn't help but think of no form and no form, which is a saying in Buddhism.

Most people in the world know that there is no form and no form, but few people know the formless and formless of Taoism.

Regarding the absence of image and form, the "Tao Te Ching" actually mentioned a similar thought, "A big image has no form, and a big form has no image".

Formless and formless can be said to be the opposite of the big form of the elephant, and it is a kind of profound realm of pursuing Tao, just like Yin and Yang, both are indispensable.

"Are there scriptures hidden in these blank spaces?" After thinking for a while, Zhang Junbao quickly put his mind back on the gold foil, "Burning? Or is it possible to use other methods to make the scriptures visible?"

There are such hiding methods in Jianghu. As long as they don't know the correct method, even if the scriptures fall into the hands of outsiders, outsiders will not be able to know the contents of the scriptures or exercises.

But the raging fire has been passed just now, and the scriptures did not appear, which shows that at least it did not use fire.

Zhang Junbao couldn't think of any way for a while.

"Look for it quickly, maybe there are more." Zhang Junbao was startled suddenly, wouldn't he be too stupid to think about this here?

There was a page of gold leaf, and maybe a second page, a third page.

Thinking of this, Zhang Junbao stretched out his hand to push away the ashes.

"Ah yo~~" Under the ashes, there are sparks still burning, which are hot to the touch.

However, Zhang Junbao's skills are not weak after all, so he quickly adapted, poured out all the ashes in the copper tripod, and then carefully rummaged bit by bit.

His hands were pitch-black, his face and body were all stained with ashes, it was pitch black.

"No." After repeated confirmation, Zhang Junbao was a little disappointed.

There was only one leaf of gold, and no more was found among these ashes.

Zhang Junbao can be sure that there is no other gold leaf here. As for whether the scriptures in this gold leaf are incomplete or not, it still needs a special method to make it visible, which he couldn't figure out for a while.

Obviously, the gold leaf should have been hidden in the scriptures or engraving blocks. Under the fire, the scriptures and engraving blocks were reduced to ashes, but the gold leaf was not afraid of fire to be revealed.

After standing still and thinking for a while, Zhang Junbao left quickly.

"That's ~~ Master Zhang?"

Along the way, many Quanzhen disciples saw Zhang Junbao's pitch-black appearance, but they didn't recognize him at first.

When they recognized it, they were all puzzled.

How did Master Zhang become like this?
Zhang Junbao ignored everyone's strange eyes and went straight to Qi Zhicheng's study.

He knew that Qi Zhicheng was usually in the study, and now he would wait for news there.

"Is the head teacher here?" When he arrived near the study, he found Zhang Zhixian and several of his juniors walking towards him.

"Ah? Master Uncle? Yes, we just came over there." Zhang Zhixian was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was Zhang Junbao, and hurriedly answered.

Zhang Junbao nodded, he knew that Zhang Zhixian and the others had come to report to Qi Zhicheng about the situation of burning scriptures first.

"Uncle Master, you?" Zhang Zhixian looked at Zhang Junbao's appearance and was very puzzled.

"It's okay, you go and go about your own affairs." Zhang Junbao replied and ran away quickly.

"Senior brother Zhixian, how did Uncle Zhang make it like this? Shall we go over and have a look?"

"Let's go, I guess the uncle has something to tell the brother in charge, it's not easy for us to go there." Zhang Zhixian said.

You are right when you think about it.

Zhang Junbao's body was stained with some ashes, he was not injured, and his breath was stable, of course they could feel it.

"Junior brother, what are you doing?" Qi Zhicheng was very surprised when he saw that Zhang Junbao pushed open the study door and entered without knocking.

Not to mention the appearance, it is simply too exaggerated.

Moreover, Zhang Junbao pushed the door in without knocking, which was completely inconsistent with his previous temperament.

Zhang Junbao closed the door smoothly, rushed to the desk, and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother, Junior Brother is rude, there is really something urgent, I want to show you something."

Seeing Zhang Junbao's solemn appearance, Qi Zhicheng calmed down, and took a piece of gold foil from Zhang Junbao.

Qi Zhicheng glanced at it and saw the small characters on the gold foil. Putting it in front of his eyes, he could see it more clearly when facing the bright part of the window.

When he saw the contents inside, his expression changed.

"Junior brother, are there any more?" Qi Zhicheng asked hastily after reading.

"No, just this one." Zhang Junbao shook his head.

"Where did it come from?" After Qi Zhicheng asked, seeing Zhang Junbao's appearance, his heart moved, and he couldn't help blurting out, "Could it be obtained after burning the scriptures?"

Seeing Zhang Junbao nod his head, Qi Zhicheng opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

For a moment he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Junbao sat quietly by the side without making a sound to disturb him.

He didn't know the origin of the gold leaf, and his master was not around, so he could only ask Qi Zhicheng for advice.

Besides, the gold leaf itself comes from the Quanzhen sect, so Qi Zhicheng should know that he didn't mean to take it all by himself.

"It's my Taoist technique." After a long while, Qi Zhicheng finally said.

"I think so too. It's a Taoist scripture, but it's a pity it's incomplete." Zhang Junbao sighed, "I just don't know if it's really incomplete, or there is a mystery in the blank space, and I can't make it visible now."

Qi Zhicheng looked again carefully and said: "It seems that there is nothing special about the blank space, and the blank space is just blank space. It should be due to the incompleteness of the cultivation technique."

"I don't know which scripture this gold leaf is from or it fell from the engraving block." Zhang Junbao said, "I just found one in the ashes. If I know, maybe I can find more gold leaf, and maybe it can complete the scripture. "

Qi Zhicheng pondered for a while and said, "It should be an engraving of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing."

"Eh?" Zhang Junbao was surprised, "Brother, are you sure?"

"Most of the scriptures on the gold foil are related to Lu Zu, and the words 'no image, no form, hidden good fortune' are extracted from Lu Zu's poems." Qi Zhicheng explained, "Since it involves Lu Zu, then this The history of the scriptures can be traced back to the time of Lu Zu. At least in the past few hundred years, I have never heard of such gold leaf scriptures, even related ones. The scriptures and engravings that were burned this time are in line with this Only the engraving of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing" is the only one. Because some of these engravings can even be traced back to the original engraving, and there are engravings that have been added in successive dynasties, so it is said that this gold leaf should be hidden in one of the engravings. "

Hearing Qi Zhicheng's explanation, Zhang Junbao felt that it made sense, and it should be so.

The original scriptures of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing" have long since disappeared, and they were all recently published.

In addition, the other scriptures and engravings are not very old. Through the method of exclusion, it can only be the engravings of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing" at some ages.

"Brother, in this way, if you want to find other parts, you have to look for other engravings of "Lao Tzu's Hu Jing"?" Zhang Junbao frowned slightly, "Those have long been lost, right? Doesn't it mean that this exercise cannot be used?" completed?"

Zhang Junbao was filled with regret.

It was the first time he had heard of the Ruyi skill in the gold foil, and he didn't know or understand it, but as far as the Tiandun swordsmanship was concerned, it was definitely an astonishing swordsmanship.

Whether it was passed down to Senior Zheng Yin, Zheng Huolong, or someone created it under the guise of Senior Zheng, dare to use the name of this sword technique, how can the sword technique be mediocre?
In addition, such a special gold leaf was specially used and hidden in the engraving, so it would not be an ordinary skill.

Unfortunately, it was lost in the end.

It is simply impossible to rely on posterity to complete such a few scriptures.

"Yeah, it's been lost a long time ago." Qi Zhicheng sighed, "These previous engravings were collected with great effort when editing the "Da Yuan Xuandu Daozang", even so, it was only luck that I got a few pieces. That’s all. It is said that the “Wan Shou Dao Zang” had a relatively complete engraving of the “Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing”, but it’s a pity...”

""Longevity Dao Cang"?" Zhang Junbao was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "I heard from Master that most of them may have clues to "Wan Shou Dao Zang". Old engraving? If you can get it, maybe you can find another gold leaf."

"You mean Six Dao School?" Qi Zhicheng asked.

"Yes, Master said that they might have the idea of ​​"Longevity Dao Cang"." Zhang Junbao nodded.

Zhang Junbao believed that Master must have mentioned this matter to Qi Zhicheng.

After all, most people here are familiar with the Quanzhen Sect, and the master has to rely on the Quanzhen Sect to find out many things.
