Chapter 6 The Tao Sutra
The old man led the way, and Yang Changan walked in the back.
After walking a short distance, a flickering fire floated in a relatively empty place ahead, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark night.
"Grandpa Tree, you're back. ”
Before he could get closer, a childish voice sounded, and in a blink of an eye, three boys and two girls came out, all about seven or eight years old.
"Xiaomu, take the guests' horses and feed them. ”
Elder Shu smiled kindly and said to one of the older boys.
"Okay, Grandpa Tree. ”
The boy nodded, came to Yang Changan's side, flashed his big clear eyes, and stood obediently.
Yang Changan coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said with a dry smile: "That...... Thank you, children. ”
"You're welcome. ”
The boy grinned and took the leash.
"Hehe, big brother, let's go sit down. ”
The rest of the boys and girls surrounded Yang Changan very enthusiastically, surrounded him, and pulled him to the bonfire.
Yang Chang'an was stunned, and his head was big for a while, but he could only smile bitterly.
These are all little dryads, little flower demons.
"Little friend, the wind is generally cold, go and sit by the campfire. ”
Shu Lao also said with a smile on the side.
Yang Changan took a deep breath and walked forward.
By the bonfire, under the red firelight, sat a beautiful woman.
She is wearing a white dress, her temperament is refined, charming but not demonic, beautiful but not greasy, quiet and quiet, like a lady, and her whole body exudes a refreshing fragrance.
When Yang Changan heard this, his slightly fearful heart suddenly quieted down.
"Childe, please be seated. ”
The woman got up gracefully, smiled, and was generous.
Beauty!
It's beautiful!
Such a beauty, it is difficult to find in the world, only demons.
A flower as white as snow, unstained with dust and fireworks, and there are countless crystal droplets on the petals.
I don't know what kind of flower it is, but I think it's beautiful.
If the woman in front of her knew that Yang Changan could see her body, she would probably be ashamed and irritable.
Yang Changan lost his mind slightly, but quickly reacted and arched his hand: "Thank you." ”
"This is the flower fairy, you can just call her Huayu. ”
The old man sat down and asked, "Little friend, where are you going?"
"Go to Tianwu County City. ”
Yang Changan said in a deep voice.
"Tianwu County City, but it is relatively far away, you are alone, and it is estimated that it will take two days. "The tree is old.
"Yes. ”
Yang Changan nodded, asked and answered, and didn't dare to say more.
"Look at Xiaoyou's talent, his style is overflowing on the surface, he must be a talent. ”
Elder Shu asked curiously.
"I was lucky enough to get lifted. ”
"Oh?
Old Shu's eyes lit up, he glanced at Yang Changan, and said, "The old man is clumsy, and he didn't see it for a while."
I heard that those who can lift people are talented people, and they have the opportunity to grow into literary saints. When the time comes, every word is fine, every stroke is a painting, every word is secretly in line with the avenue, containing the truth of heaven and earth.
Xiaoyou can raise people, presumably following the mainstream consciousness of the Great Shang Dynasty.
I see that you have "Theosophies", so I guess you read it often. The above-mentioned demons and monsters are all evil, and they should all be punished!
I wonder what Xiaoyou thinks?"
Shu Lao looked at him with a smile, and Hua Yu and the others also looked over.
For a while, Yang Changan felt a great pressure coming out of thin air, and he was a little out of breath.
"So his deadly arrow is here, if I don't answer him, will I ...... tonight?"
Yang Changan was silent, pondered for a few seconds, and said: "Demons have demon paths, ghosts have ghost ways, and people have humanity." No one is born to be punished, and those who should be punished should be transgressors. ”
"Offenders, does Xiaoyou think that the offenses mean that demons and monsters can't go to human city-states?"
"Criminals! It can be a disorderly person who destroys order, a murderer who kills innocents indiscriminately, an evil person who is a great evildoer, and a demon who is contrary to normal morality. ”
Yang Changan looked at him and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "When a friend comes, there is good wine, and when a jackal comes, there is a sword." With good intentions, you can go all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch with a ghost in your heart. ”
"Hehehe...... Is that so?"
The old tree suddenly laughed.
"Exactly!"
Yang Changan did not shy away from their gaze and said indifferently.
Shu Lao stared at his eyes for a long time, then smiled in a blink of an eye, and said: "I see that Xiaoyou's body is a little weak, this "Tao Sutra" is useless to us, so I will give it to you, just make a good fate, and be the reward for Xiaoyou to accompany us." ”
Shu Lao took out a book from his arms with a cover full of mysterious lines and a trajectory like a great avenue, and handed it to Yang Changan, "This "Tao Sutra" is incomplete, only the first three pages. There are some cultivation methods recorded in it, and you can try to practice. ”
"The Tao Sutra? It is rumored that this is one of the supreme exercises of human law cultivation, and those who practice the Tao Sutra can lead to immortality and reach the realm of immortality. Isn't this the treasure of the Immortal Taoist Temple?
Yang Changan was surprised.
"Ten years ago, the Great Merchant Emperor sent troops to exterminate all the temples and Taoist temples, Xiaoyou should know. ”
Elder Shu asked.
"Of course I know about such a big thing. ”
Yang Changan nodded.
"Taoist temples and temples were exterminated, those Taoist priests and Buddhists died, those who fled, and the treasured exercises of each family were scattered in all directions, and I also got it by chance. ”
Shu Lao looked at Yang Changan, who was surprised, and smiled slightly, "Xiaoyou, do you know why the Emperor sent troops to exterminate them back then?"
"I heard that those Taoist temples and temples have many disciples, the incense is vigorous, and they do not pay taxes all the year round, and they are already rich enough to rival the country, threatening the imperial power, so the emperor sent troops to exterminate them. ”
Yang Changan subconsciously replied.
"No, it's not. ”
The old man smiled mysteriously, "Xiaoyou Xinxin Mansion will fall?"
"The building will fall!"
Yang Changan's pupils shrank, and he looked at Shu Lao suddenly, with a trace of solemnity on his face.
Shu Lao smiled slightly and continued: "Those temples and Taoist temples do not have a sense of imperial power, and they will not raise troops to rebel.
But their growth threatens another kind of power, and that is the demons and monsters.
Demons and monsters are just like humans, there are good and evil.
Some idle clouds and wild cranes meditate on the way of eternal life. Some are greedy and try to enjoy the glory of the world.
The former is hidden in the mountains, and the latter dwells in the world.
The world is actually full of treachery, not as calm as it seems.
can be killed and killed, fought and fought, and in the end, it is all a failure.
Sad. ”
The old man couldn't help but shake his head.
"Shu Lao refers to the fact that the human emperor was transformed into a demon, and he ordered the extermination of these Taoist temples and temples?"
Yang Changan was deeply frightened and couldn't help asking.
"How is that possible?"
Shu Lao smiled dumbly, and said to Yang Chang'an, "Who is the most powerful today?
Demons, demons, and monsters, all the ministers of the world dare not be disrespectful, and the scholars of the four seas and the Confucian Buddhas of the world dare not be disrespectful.
If the human emperor is all demonized, then what's the point?
In this case, the world you see may be a different scene.
A hundred ghosts cry at night, and jackals sit in the hall.
It would be hell on earth, and probably all of humanity would be extinct. ”
Elder Tree explained.
"Could it be that the Emperor of the People has another deep meaning?"
Yang Changan frowned, thoughtful.
"Hehe, Xiaoyou doesn't have to hurt your brain, the will of such a strong person is not something you and I can guess. Tree Lao smiled.
"Since the Human Emperor is so powerful, why would Elder Shu say that the building will fall?"
Yang Changan was puzzled and wanted to ask clearly.
"This news spread a year ago, it was said by the demon king Futian, the burial place of the ghost king. They are all peerless powerhouses comparable to the human emperor, and they will never be untargeted. ”
Seeing Yang Changan's solemn expression, Shu Lao said with relief, "Hehe, Xiaoyou, don't worry, there are countless strong human beings, and the civilization has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, how can it easily collapse?"
"That's right. ”
Yang Changan exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his heart was a little calm.
It is speculated that this may be a radical tactic of the demons, stimulating the demon cubs under their command to do evil, and also creating panic and chaos among humans.
