Chapter 936: Wujing and Taoism

On the four walls, in addition to dozens of large bookshelves, under the corners of the four sides, there are countless books with yellowed paper stacked. There are incomplete ancient books and scriptures.

This stone-filled book, even if conservatively estimated, is as many as 100,000 volumes.

Seeing that Ye Chen seemed to be interested in the book full of houses, the old fox said suddenly: "Mr. laughed, this book has not been sorted ever since. We foxes don't have hands. Concubine Yuan and Mr. Bai are busy people. I don’t have time to sort it out. Since I brought the books, I just piled them up randomly. It made the husband laugh!"

"It's okay."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said: "There are so many people who don't love books in the world. As foxes, you can keep these books so well, you can be regarded as extremely deliberate!"

"The Tripitaka, Huayan Sutra, Reborn Sutra..."

Ye Chen walked to a large bookshelf and pulled out a few books at random. When they opened them, they were all Buddhist scriptures. He picked up the pages of the books and flipped through them, and he thought to himself: "The contents of these classics and other worlds The content of the Buddhist scriptures is roughly the same, but there are also quite a few differences.

"This is the book of the Great Zen Temple."

Seeing that Ye Chen was reading a book, Concubine Yuan looked suspicious, so she interjected: "In fact, these books were brought out of the temple when the Great Zen Temple in Zhongzhou was wiped out."

"The Great Zen Temple?"

Ye Chen is no stranger to this, after all, this is also a sacred place for spiritual practice once recorded in the book.

"No wonder, the books are all Buddhist scriptures, but it's a pity... the number one holy place in the past has long since vanished."

"Yes!"

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Tu Lao couldn’t help but sigh: “At the beginning, there was a huge Buddhist temple with tens of thousands of monks. There are thousands of monks who go to the countryside to urge tenants every autumn. The horse races make incense, the ever-changing lights keep on day and night, and the lights are bright all day and night. Unfortunately, the splendid temples were broken by the army, and the treasures were wiped out."

"Hey, success or failure, the rise and fall, is really dreamlike... Now you can only look at the classics in this room to imagine the glory of the Great Zen Temple back then!"

Bai Ziyue said: "Dachan Temple is located in the middle of the Dagan Dynasty. It is an ancient temple with a thousand years of age, and it has reached its peak."

"It is said that this temple occupies a thousand hectares of land, and the large halls on each floor are vast. The young monk who gives incense to the Buddha and Bodhisattva every morning can only run by riding a horse. At the same time...this temple is also a holy place for martial arts, A sacred place for spiritual practice is also a sacred place for wealth. Buddhist temples do not have to pay taxes, there are many fields, and the incense is flourishing. It has been accumulated for thousands of years and is wealthy than a country."

Concubine Yuan said: "It's a pity that 20 years ago, because the Dachan Temple contacted the elders of the former dynasty for rebellion and was surrendered by the army, the thousand-year-old temple was burned."

"Furthermore, after thousands of years of accumulation of this temple, almost all of the wealth was plundered by Emperor Qian Yang Pan, making the finances of the Da Qian Dynasty unprecedentedly stable, and only then has this flourished dynasty created!"

Ye Chen listened to you and Bai Ziyue, and told me about the catastrophe of the Great Zen Temple in the past.

original.

Twenty years ago, these two people were still monsters, and they could only transform their human form by thought.

When the Japanese army suppressed the Great Zen Temple, the two of them hid from the sidelines and witnessed the destruction of the Great Zen Temple. They were naturally very clear about the scene of that day.

"There is a temple where monks do not produce, but they have the wealth of the country. The Great Zen Temple should also be destroyed."

Ye Chen also sighed when they heard the narration.

After all, Buddhism does not produce production, but it occupies a large amount of land and wealth. No matter which dynasty ruler, Buddhism cannot tolerate becoming bigger.

Bai Ziyue and Concubine Yuan had a discussion with Ye Chen on this matter.

It wasn't until five watch days, when the sky was about to light up, and the Concubine Yuan had just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly got up and said to the three.

"It's getting late, and the concubine has to go back to the palace, otherwise it will be bad if someone finds out!"

As she spoke, she jumped out of the cave, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

Seeing that Concubine Yuan was anxious to go, Bai Ziyue quickly apologized to Ye Chen: "Concubine Yuan is the concubine of Emperor Qiandi Yang Pan. She can't leave the palace for a long time, but it makes Brother Ye laugh!"

"It's okay."

Ye Chen also faintly said: "It was Ye Mou who came here presumptuously. Fortunately, you have never seen any surprises. Talking with you Bing Zhuye for half the night is almost delaying the important affairs of Princess Yuan."

"Speaking of which, I should say sorry."

"where."

Bai Ziyue hurriedly said: "Although I am the first acquaintance, but we talked together overnight, it is like old friends, friends, visiting each other, why would you take the liberty to say?"

Tu Lao also said: "Mr. has a great favor with my clan, please stay a few more days, so that we can enter the friendship of the landlord."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Ye Chen did not decline this.

Because he knew very well that Hong Yi would be brought by Concubine Yuan before long.

Seeing Ye Chen's visit to the valley, Bai Ziyue never left.

For a few days, the two of them were talking about Fengyue, or about Dao fighting, but they felt like they were friends.

On this day, the two were playing against a boulder in the valley.

Ye Chen thought suddenly and smiled: "Concubine Yuan is here!"

When the voice fell, only a woman in red came to the valley with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

The woman in red is so beautiful, she is not Yuan Fei, but who is it?

Bai Ziyue looked at the young man brought by Concubine Yuan, and asked with astonishment: "Concubine Yuan, why do you still have leisure to find such a young scholar?"

Concubine Yuan said with a smile: "My tribesmen need a teacher to teach them to read and read, and understand the truth. This young man looks bold, so when I passed by Qiuyue Temple, I brought him here. Up!"

Bai Ziyue suddenly.

Ye Chen looked at the young man who pretended to be calm behind Yuan Fei.

He knew that this was Hong Yi, the son of the era he was waiting for.

Count the sun and shade, after all, there is no wasting.

I saw the young scholar arched his hand slightly and introduced himself: "Xiaosheng Hong Yi, I have seen two of them. This girl brought me here to teach people to read. Are they two children of Xiongtai?"

Ye Chen smiled weirdly on his face when he heard the words: "It's not the children of me and Brother Bai, but the people of the girl Yuanfei!"

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi turned his head and looked at Concubine Yuan in surprise.

He knew that Concubine Yuan was a woman in the palace, because he was given a reward when she came.

Seventy percent gold is cyan, eighty percent gold is yellow, ninety percent gold is purple, and ten percent gold is red.

This kind of pure gold can only be burned by Taoists who make alchemy. This kind of red gold, also called "medicine gold", is a blind medicinal material used by Taoists to practice lead and mercury, and practice golden alchemy.

And if this kind of pure gold was made into coins, only the palace would have it.

Generally, the emperor or empress rewarded the minister of civil and military affairs, or the concubine of the harem.

So... at that time, Hong Yi knew that Concubine Yuan must have come out of the palace, and her identity must have been golden.

But the members of Concubine Yuan's clans lived in such a simple valley?

and.

It doesn’t look like there are any houses here, so you never live in a cave, right?

As if he had guessed Hong Yi's thoughts, Concubine Yuan chuckled softly and called several times towards the depths of the valley.

Suddenly a group of white foxes rushed out, chattering and barking around Concubine Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Hong Yi couldn't help but be surprised: "This Yuan concubine girl invited me here to teach these foxes to read, right? This is too far-fetched."

However, although this matter looks outrageous, it is true. Yuan Fei smiled and said: "It seems that you have guessed it. That's right. I invited you here to teach these foxes to read. Why, my husband is scared. ?"

"This……"

Seeing Hong Yi hesitating, Concubine Yuan immediately smiled: "Why, are you scared?"

"Humans and beasts are all creatures, what's to be afraid of."

Although he was a little scared in his heart, Hong Yi would not easily show up.

and……

Turning to think about it, on the contrary, I think it's quite interesting to teach a group of foxes to learn the principles of literacy, not to mention a full month's salary.

It only takes a few months to pay for the exam.

Now he calmed his mind: "It is a sage to make animals understand the truth. Although I am not qualified, it is okay to reluctantly act as a sage."

In this way, there was another guest in the valley.

Although Ye Chen could read and write, he didn't have the patience to teach a group of foxes to read and read.

and so……

These days are Bai Ziyue taking care of occasionally.

When Hong Yi came here, Bai Ziyue acted as a handyman, and gave Hong Yi all the matters of teaching, reading, and teaching the little fox.

Of course, as a reward, he can read the books in the cave.

Even Bai Ziyue asked Hong Yi to sort out the books, sort them into categories and arrange them neatly, and gave Hong Yi a reward of twelve taels of red gold.

Although Bai Ziyue had a lot of knowledge, he was busy discussing with Ye Chen's practice. There was no spare time to sort out the books, so these books were piled up in a cave.

Being able to study and get paid, Hong Yi would naturally not refuse such good things.

On this day, Hong Yi is sorting out books.

Suddenly he found two big books among many books, one "Wu Jing" and one "Dao Jing", each with dozens of thick volumes, making Hong Yi like a treasure, and directly rushed on it.

He has wanted to read these two big books for a long time.

Both of these books were compiled when the Dagan Dynasty was founded.

"Wu Jing" is a book compiled by Luo Tianxia Martial Arts, and "Dao Jing" is a book of practice compiled by Tianxia Taoism.

Hong Yi has read the notes of many scholars and once described in detail the circumstances of the two books.

At that time, the Dagan dynasty collected books from all over the world and piled up the entire country's library. At the same time, thousands of people compiled books.

Among them, some famous martial arts masters, Taoist Taishang Dao, Zhengyi, Fangxian Dao, and some Buddhist leaders participated.

unfortunately……

After these two books were compiled, the Dagan Dynasty immediately banned engraving after a few years.

At the same time, the published books were collected from the people and burned in one fell swoop.

Anyone who collects books has a felony after being discovered.

After that, the Dagan dynasty used the slogan of "righteous people, abandoning heresy", soliciting books from folk temples and overhauling classics many times.

But no books such as "Wu Jing" and "Dao Jing" have been edited.

All of them are benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, great justice and loyalty, and all the Taoist books and martial arts books collected by the folks have been burned.

Later, the Dagan dynasty ordered that private practice of boxing and sticks by the people is strictly prohibited and strictly controlled the Taoist temples in the world.

Twenty years ago, after the army wiped out the Dachan Temple, the Dagan dynasty's control of civilian force reached a heyday.

Although Hong Yi deliberately searched for these two books before, he couldn't get them.

At this moment, he looked at the two "Wu Jing" and "Dao Jing" in front of him, and he couldn't help feeling very much.

"It's really nowhere to be found after breaking through the iron shoes. It's all effortless!"

"Students can't be without the power to bind chickens. Since there are martial arts here, I have to read them carefully and find one or two ways to cultivate one's body."

With his mind moving, he immediately flipped through the two classics.

It was not until this time that Hong Yi knew that whether it was martial arts or immortal Tao, the ultimate goal of practice was to transcend life and death.

As stated at the beginning of the two Scriptures:

The world is a vast ocean, and people live in the world, the flesh is like a ship crossing the sea, and the mind of the soul is the person in the ship.

Martial arts pay attention to cultivating the physical body, which is strong and can carry people safely through the sea of ​​suffering.

However, Xianshu emphasizes the boundless sea of ​​bitterness, and the body of the ship will eventually decay.

Even if the ship is destroyed, people will not drown.

Comparing the two methods of practice, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

just……

For scholars like Yu Hongyi, Xianshu is more mysterious, far inferior to martial arts.

So after much consideration, he decided to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.

Because only with equal emphasis on civil and military can he better achieve his goals.

With the idea of ​​studying martial arts in his mind, Hong Yi immediately studied the martial arts carefully.

While reading it, he suddenly discovered that there were notes in the lines of the Wujing text, which were obviously added by the readers.

"If you don’t know your orifice in martial arts, you will not be able to become sacred in the flesh, nor can you understand the mystery of the flesh. A person has a body orifice, like the stars in the sky, where the gods of heaven and earth live in it. , Catching the dragon and throwing the elephant, like the Taoist sun god’s fusion of gods and transcendence, reaching the realm of immortality..."

"In the mid-autumn festival note of Zen Master Yinyue in the 30th year since the founding of the Dagan Dynasty."

This paragraph was obviously annotated by a monk named Yinyue in the Great Zen Temple.

The content is not esoteric either, it means: In addition to meat, muscles, membranes, bones, internal organs, marrow, and blood, the human body also has many acupuncture points, like the stars in the sky, where the gods live After cultivating these acupuncture holes, you can have infinite power in every gesture of action. The flesh is really immortal, and it is an immortal!

But Hong Yi is a smart man.

He knew that there were acupuncture points in the body, but he didn't understand why there were gods living in the acupuncture points?

When he thought about it, he couldn't help but got into the horns, and he was very confused for a while.

Fortunately, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that both Ye Chen and Bai Ziyue who were also guests in Yougu were practitioners, so they held a scroll of Wushu and came to ask for advice.
