Wudang

Chapter 77 Daozang Gold Leaf Sheet [-]

"Master Uncle, even if the Cao family obtained the Dao Zang of the Dajin Xuandu, it would be burned down." Miao Dao shook his head helplessly as soon as he heard Zhang Junbao's words and looked at the fire in front of him.

They are members of the Taoist sect, and of course they attach great importance to Daozang.

You must know that Dao Cang of Xuandu Daojin was lost with the fall of the Kingdom of Jin. Although there are some scriptures among the people, they are severely incomplete.

Think back to the time when the Quanzhen sect collected a lot of Daoist scriptures from the people in order to compile the Daoist Canon of the Great Yuan Xuandu, among which there were some residual scriptures of the Daoist Canon of the Great Jinxuandu.

"If there is Dao Zang of the Great Golden Profound Capital, we can't keep much." Yang Zhilian sighed.

Zhang Junbao understood what Yang Zhilian meant.

The matter of apocryphal scriptures has not stopped, and there must be some similar scriptures in the Daoist Collection of Dajin Xuandu, which will be classified as apocryphal scriptures.

If we really want to have a complete daoist collection of Dajin Xuandu, how many Taoist scriptures can we leave in the end?
Zhang Junbao didn't say a word, his focus was not on Dao Jinxuandu Taoist scriptures, what he cared about was whether the Cao family got the engraving of this Dao Zang.

You must know that Dao Jinxuandu Dao Zang was compiled on the basis of Dao Song Zheng and Wanshou Dao Zang.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty when the Kingdom of Jin destroyed it, countless treasures were looted from the Northern Song Palace, including the Wanshou Taoist Collection, but the Wanshou Taoist Collection should also be incomplete.

Later, Dao Zang came out.

It's a pity that the Kingdom of Jin also perished later, and Daozang could not be passed down in its entirety.

These few Daoist scriptures had a very ill-fated life, and in the end there were some broken scriptures, almost none of which were complete.

Since the Kingdom of Jin looted the Wanshou Dao Zang from the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Junbao has reason to believe that some engravings must have also fallen into the Kingdom of Jin, including the ancient engraving of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing" with gold leaf.

Before, they only inferred that the gold leaf should be in the engraving of Wanshou Daozang, but now they have to increase the size of Jin Xuandu Daozang.

It is not easy for Zhang Junbao to disclose to Miao Daoyi and the others about Daozang engraving.

Looking at the Cao family in flames, Zhang Junbao felt a little hopeful, but also a little uneasy.

Will there be?

If the Cao family really got the old engraving plate of "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing", then even if the engraving plate was destroyed by fire, the gold leaf would still be preserved.

It's just that even if it is preserved, it is very difficult to find a thin gold leaf from the ruins.

"How did the news about the Cao family's immeasurable skills leak out?" Zhang Junbao asked curiously, putting aside the matter of the gold leaf for the time being.

Such exercises are generally kept strictly confidential.

Especially for a family like the Cao family, they are a big family in Mouping County and have great power.

But for people in Jianghu, their Cao family did not have their own powerful masters, and having such magical secrets was a crime.

I believe it is impossible for the Cao family not to know this.

"I heard that a disciple of the Cao family who practiced martial arts showed up in the sect and defeated the No. 1 younger generation in the sect. After he received attention, it also revealed that his martial arts did not come from his sect." Miao Miao Daoyi said.

These are all the news provided by the onlookers, because when Jin Yu and the four ghosts of Yinshan fought, they said something, which contained these secrets.

Zhang Junbao nodded, the disciples of the Cao family failed to hide this secret carefully.

In a moment of anger, he exposed his immeasurable skills, and suffered a fatal disaster.

For these great powers of the Jianghu sect, gold and silver treasures are not very attractive to them. Unless it is an extremely amazing treasure, otherwise they will not attack a place like the Cao family, because they themselves There is no shortage of silver taels.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the peerless secrets that can make these Jianghu sects most tempted, and Wulianggong is obviously one of them.

"Uncle Master, I have to tell the story of Wuliang Gong back to Changchun Palace." Miao Dao said in a low voice.

Zhang Junbao nodded, no matter what, this is a major event in the world.

You don't need to think about it, you know, there will be a lot of contention in the Jianghu because of this skill, and with the killing, the Jianghu will be bloody again.

As soon as Miao Dao contacted the Changchun Palace, some people in the rivers and lakes who were watching around also sent back the news, and the news would soon spread in all directions.

If it is said that only the Four Ghosts of Yinshan and the Taishan School knew about it before, or even the elder Jin Yu in the Taishan School knew about it, and only the Four Ghosts of Yinshan in the Yinshan School knew the news, it can be said that the matter has not yet become serious.

It is different now. It is conceivable that most of the rivers and lakes will join in the competition for immeasurable merit.

The Yinshan faction is a big force, but facing the siege from the rivers and lakes, I am afraid it will not be able to bear it.

Besides, the Yinshan faction is not near Ninghai Prefecture, but in the west, thousands of miles away.

It may not be so easy for the four Yinshan ghosts to bring Wuliang Gong back to the Yinshan sect safely.

Now that the news has leaked, they will definitely be intercepted and killed.

Under such circumstances, most of the first ones to get the secrets of the exercises will hardly have the last laugh.

He Song immediately organized people to fight the fire. He is the magistrate of Muping County after all.

The fire cannot be allowed to spread, otherwise it is unknown how many houses will be burned down.

The Cao family was destroyed, although it was not in his own hands, but the result was similar.

Mouping County is considered to be short of a bully.

As for the elders of the Yinshan School and Taishan School who destroyed the Cao family, he can't control so much as a county magistrate.

He can only report this matter to the court.

The imperial court has people who specialize in meeting with Jianghu sects, such as the wolf guard is one of them.

In any case, the Cao family will be destroyed if it is destroyed, and I don't need to give Sog any explanation, which is less troublesome.

I just don't know if Zhang Junbao will continue to attack Sog.

Noticing the change in He Song's expression, Zhang Junbao leaned over and whispered: "Master He, our plan remains unchanged. If that guy doesn't die, the trouble will not be completely resolved after all."

He Song felt relieved, he was worrying too much.

How could the Quanzhen Sect ignore the Zhou family?

As long as Suoge is in Ninghai Prefecture for one day, he can find another Wang family, the Chen family, to deal with the Zhou family.

The fire was not extinguished until night.

It is said that it was extinguished, but in fact it was almost burned. The fire gradually became smaller and extinguished by itself.

Under such a fire, it is difficult for manpower to play a big role.

In addition, the houses are all made of wood, and once burned, it is basically hopeless.

Although it was already night, He Song still sent people to clean up the ruins.

Move the corpse and count some belongings.

Things like gold and silver can be preserved under the fire, these have to be cleaned out.

Zhang Junbao did not leave, he told He Song that if he found anything special, he should tell him immediately.

He Song thought that Zhang Junbao was doing it for the secret book of exercises.

Now that the Cao family has acquired Wuliang Kungfu, there may be other secrets of Wuliangguan.

He Song thought so, but he didn't refuse.

He is not from the rivers and lakes, so he is not interested in these secrets of exercises.

Miao Daoyi and the others were a little puzzled by Zhang Junbao's words. Could it be that Master Uncle really thought there were other secrets of exercises in it?

Yang Zhilian and Liang Zhiyong shook their heads secretly, even if there were, most of them were burned to ashes.

The matter of immeasurable merit will not end so quickly, and this matter is not something they need to consider.

They mainly want to settle the affairs of Zhou's family, and then go south.

Although the four ghosts of Yinshan had just fled, it was not so easy for them to catch up with them. Moreover, with the four of them working together, Yang Zhilian and Liang Zhiyong would be hard enough to catch up with them alone, and they would not be able to keep them.

If the two of them went there together, they were afraid that there would not be enough guards around Zhang Junbao, and if something happened to Zhang Junbao, they would not be able to bear the consequences at all.

As for whether the Quanzhen Sect will participate in the competition for Wuliang Gong, it depends on Zhang Zhixian's intentions.

Zhang Junbao knew in his heart that Zhang Zhixian would definitely send someone out.

It's not about competing for immeasurable merit, but to resolve the conflicts among the people in the arena. I hope everyone can calm down and do less evil.

For example, Shaolin and Emei will also send people, and their purpose is the same as that of Quanzhen Sect.

For these rivers and lakes forces, there is no need to compete for immeasurable skills to enhance the strength of their sects.

The cleaning and excavation was still going on, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers ahead.

A cellar of the Cao family was discovered, which contained a lot of gold and silver property.

Zhang Junbao looked over and found that there was nothing related to Daojin Xuandu Daozang, no books and scriptures, let alone engravings.

He Song is now directly identifying the Cao family as colluding with bandits and robbers. All the property in the family will naturally be confiscated first, and then it will be confiscated.

The patriarch of the Cao family and other important figures either died in the fire or were killed by the four ghosts of Yinshan.

After the four ghosts of Yinshan killed Jin Yu, they went on a killing spree in Cao's house, and almost no one in Cao's house was killed.

As for the others who escaped outside, facing the current government, they couldn't stop them at all, watching the gold and silver belongings in the cellar being loaded and taken away.

Zhang Junbao was disappointed, as he has not found any sign of gold leaf yet.

"Uncle Master, shall we go back first?" It was already the third watch, and Miao Daoyi felt that it was impossible to have any clues about the secrets of the exercises here.

Zhang Junbao sighed secretly, because he took it for granted, the Cao family probably got some scriptures from the Daoist scriptures of Dajinxuandu, and luckily, there were scriptures of immeasurable power among them.

"Where is the study of the head of the Cao family?" Zhang Junbao asked.

Miao Daoyi immediately asked a yamen servant.

Although Cao's house was already in ruins, the yamen servants still knew the location of each house.

Under the leadership of the yamen servants, Zhang Junbao came to the ruins where the original study was.

This place has not been excavated and cleaned up, and the officials mainly targeted the houses where gold and silver property were stored.

For example, Cao's warehouse, and looking for some darkrooms and cellars.

The study room is obviously not an ideal place to hide gold and silver.

How could the books inside be preserved under the fire, so the yamen servants arranged the search here later.

"Let's dig and have a look." Zhang Junbao said.

As soon as Miao Dao knew that Zhang Junbao hadn't given up, although he didn't agree with it, he still took a few brothers and started to clean up the ruins here.

Ruins of ruins, broken tiles and scorched earth.

"The Cao family has a lot of books, it's a pity." Miao Dao looked at the traces of countless books burned in the ashes, and said with some distress.

There may be a lot of Taoist scriptures in it, so they were burned.

Zhang Junbao was not idle either, he rummaged through the ruins, looking for the possibility of gold leaf.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and everyone had nothing to gain, and the study room was all reduced to ashes.

There is no darkroom cellar.

He Song and the others did not bring him any good news.

Although the yamen servants at He Song's side cleared out some special items, they were not the gold leaf he wanted.

Zhang Junbao casually used a thin wooden stick to pick a pile of broken tiles under his feet.

"Huh?" Just as he was about to throw away the stick, the pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly.

A sheet of gold leaf is buried in the ashes of broken tiles and books.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to his side, he immediately picked up the gold leaf and stuffed it into his arms.

Zhang Junbao's heart was pounding.

There is really gold leaf, and it is actually in the engraving of Dao Zang of Dao Jin Xuandu.

Surprise, surprise.

Zhang Junbao was extremely excited.

In this way, there is no need to go south at all.

"Uncle Master, it's getting late, shall we look for it tomorrow?" Miao Daoyi asked.

"Okay, let's go back first." After finding the gold leaf, there is nothing worthy of his nostalgia here.

The government is still going on, preparing to clean up all night, without sleep.

He Song told Zhang Junbao to go back with peace of mind, and if he really wanted something, he would definitely keep it for him and show it to him.

Back at Zhou's guest room, Zhang Junbao hastily took out the gold leaf from his bosom.

After wiping off the black ashes stained on it, Zhang Junbao couldn't help but carefully read the words on it.

Seeing this, his originally excited mood quickly calmed down.

His heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly.

Without hesitation, Zhang Junbao immediately took out the gold leaf sewn on the heart of the underwear.

He compared the text on the two gold foils, looked at them for a while, then stacked the two gold foils again, and then faced the light of the candle.

The gold foil is as thin as a cicada's wing, and the candlelight can penetrate the gold foil, so the writing on it can be seen clearly.

"There is still a part missing." Zhang Junbao whispered.

After the two gold foils are overlapped, there are still many gaps in the content of the scriptures, which cannot be fully penetrated.

He wished he could go back to Cao's house immediately, to the ruins of the study.

Judging from the amount of missing content above, there should be a piece of gold leaf missing.

In other words, the three gold foils are the complete content of the scriptures.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Junbao calmed himself down.

Going out so late is afraid that it will arouse suspicion from others.

He didn't want others to know about the gold leaf, even Miao Daoyi and they had to keep it a secret.

Because this matter has to be seen by Master before he can determine whether he can tell others.

"If He Song and the others find out, they should keep it for me." Zhang Junbao thought to himself, because a piece of gold leaf is just some incomplete scriptures, nothing can be seen, and he is not afraid of revealing anything, so he sat cross-legged on the bed and started Practice.

Early the next morning, when Miao Daoyi came to look for Zhang Junbao, he found that he had woken up and was practicing Chunyang swordsmanship in the yard.

"Uncle Master, it's so early." Miao Dao asked with a smile.

"It's getting late, let's have something to eat, let's go to Cao's house again." Zhang Junbao said.

Last night, he dreamed about the martial arts and practiced boxing and sword skills, but found that the effect was extremely poor.

It didn't take long for him to exit the dream state.

Restless mind, leading to unstable dreams.

Zhang Junbao knew that it was the gold leaf incident that affected him, making it impossible for him to really calm down and practice.

He has been silently reciting the Taoist scripture Qingjing Sutra to calm his mind.

It wasn't until dawn that I put aside the distracting thoughts about gold leaf in my heart.

After squinting for a while, he got up again and practiced Taizu Changquan and sword skills for a while.

It's still not enough mood, unable to face everything calmly, Zhang Junbao sighed in his heart.
