In addition to the four different writing of the Tao characters on the four walls, there are also some patterns such as Bagua Taiji.

Jiang Zhenwu looked around at every detail, and felt more and more unfathomable, as if he was in a huge space.

And this is obviously just a basement of dozens of square meters, not even a window, only a few vents in the hidden corners!

It was a visual and mental illusion.

The True Yang Taoist came to the bare stone wall in the south step by step, stretched out his palm and pressed it on it, and suddenly the stone wall flipped over, and a groove like a bookshelf appeared, on which were stacked with books.

"Zhenwu, do you know why I named our sect Dao?"

The True Yang Daoist looked at Jiang Zhenwu and asked solemnly.

Jiang Zhenwu frowned lightly and said, "Inheritance Daomen?"

Door!

It can be said that it is the most meaningful representative of the land of China, several branches of the Great Daomen, such as Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Chongyang Palace, Qingcheng Mountain, etc., these representatives of the Great Dao Sect only say that they are a Taoist lineage, and dare not say that they can represent Taoism, Taoism!

Jiang Zhenwu also saw the old Taoist priest hanging a Tao written in pre-Qin script at the door since he was a child, calling himself Daomen, but he didn't know the internal cause.

The True Yang Taoist explained: "Today is also the time for you to know the origin of this sect, which was actually created by me personally. ”

Jiang Zhenwu was stunned!

He thought that the origin was mysterious and ancient, and that some ancient secrets would be involved.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest came directly to a sentence, which was created by me personally......

Seeing Jiang Zhenwu's speechless appearance, the old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Do you think that your qualifications are shallow, and it's a joke?"

Jiang Zhenwu still didn't speak, but his expression was tacitly acquiescing to his thoughts.

The old Taoist priest continued: "It is true that the qualifications are shallow, but the background is not shallow, the old Taoist I have experienced many wars in my life, witnessed the sinking and rise of the land of China, and witnessed the suffering and prosperity of the common people. I can't stop this, even if I try. So, I collected some martial arts, set up my own one, and wanted to pass it on!"

"This is the Daomen!"

Jiang Zhenwu said softly: "Then master, aren't you afraid that other Daomen branches will trouble us?"

After Wudang, there was no emerging sect of Taoism.

Zhang Sanfeng, who founded Wudang, is also the last grandmaster-level figure of Taoism.

Now if you want to create a branch of the Daomen, I am afraid that it will be excluded and suppressed by all the Daomen in the world, and it will not be recognized by them.

It's definitely not an easy thing to do.

Moreover, so far, Jiang Zhenwu has not seen the old Taoist priest create any self-justifying Taoist doctrine as the core of the school's ideology.

Such as the Tao of the Heavenly Master, or the Tao of the Whole Truth, and so on!

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "I am naturally afraid of those thousand-year-old Taoist sects, but in the final analysis, our Taoist sects are not the same as them, it can be said that they have the same origin but are not the same sects." The same origin, they developed from the Lao Zhuang doctrine, and so are we! Different sects are because they are Taoism, and their roots are a religion, not Taoism. We are the Taoist sect, the sect of the Taoist sect, so even if they come to find trouble, they can't say that they will go together, we don't belong to Taoism, we are equal to them, we are all branches of Taoism, in the final analysis, we are actually more authentic!"

After a pause, the old Taoist priest said again: "Moreover, I don't plan to carry forward the Dao Sect in my lifetime, and I will rely on you to carry it forward in the future, so if you want to face trouble, you will also go!"

Jiang Zhenwu was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and said, "Master, do you want me to announce to the people of the world that the Daomen has opened a mountain and established a faction?"

The old Taoist priest looked at his apprentice Jiang Zhenwu and said seriously and affirmatively: "Yes, it's you! I don't think I'm capable of opening a mountain and establishing a sect, so I have only looked for some Taoist doctrines and martial arts to pass on to you in my lifetime, hoping that you can really start a sect based on Lao Zhuang and stand side by side with Taoism!"

Jiang Zhenwu was speechless again, although he has always been extremely confident, and even many people think that he is conceited, but he never thought that he could start a mountain.

Now is not the troubled times of a hundred years ago, troubled times can produce heroes, but in the peaceful and prosperous times, it is difficult to produce heroes!

Because, in the peaceful and prosperous world, heroes are useless.

In the troubled times a hundred years ago, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose together, and the mythical grandmaster who founded the three major inner boxing sects came out, and the three major inner boxing have continued to this day and have become the mainstream among ordinary people.

After more than 100 years, there has never been such a character, not that there is no such genius-level character, but there is no stage for geniuses to play.

The old Taoist priest said lightly: "It's too early to say this, I'm just telling you in advance, and your strength will be enough in the future." Let's do it again, now you just need to build up your strength. I'm sure you can do that!"

Jiang Zhenwu took a deep breath, since the master had said it, he could only forcibly take this responsibility on his shoulders, nodded and said, "Yes, master, I will work hard." ”

The old Taoist priest snorted, picked up a thick ancient book made of animal skins and threw it to Jiang Zhenwu, and said: "Daomen was founded by me with the Tao of Lao Zhuang, that is, the Taoist doctrine of the pre-Qin period, and there was no Taoism at that time. As well as some ancient books that I got by accident, the Hegemony Fist and the Nine Transformations of Thunder that were passed on to you are all ancient martial arts. Now, you have entered the realm of tempering your muscles and veins, and you can try to cultivate the secret method of the Dao Sect. ”

Jiang Zhenwu took the ancient book given to him by his master, looked at the words on it, and there was only one word, Dao.

"This is the Tao Sutra, I got it in a pre-Qin ancient tomb!"

The old Taoist priest explained: "It records the Taoist Lao Tzu's exposition of the human body, the inner family, and even the mysteries of heaven and earth. I have comprehended it for a lifetime, and I can only realize three percent. ”

Jiang Zhenwu opened it and looked at it, and one by one the ancient words came to his face, and one by one the heavy information came into view.

He still couldn't read it.

Although he knew all these ancient texts, he could not understand the meaning.

Jiang Zhenwu temporarily flipped through the two pages and closed them.

Because, the old Taoist priest took out another ancient book of animal skins and handed it to him: "This is the nineteenth chapter of the genuine Zhuangzi, that is, the lost part of history, and there is what you want." I have limited understanding, I can't understand, how much you can get, it also depends on your understanding and ability. ”

The old Taoist priest was a little reluctant to stuff the book to Jiang Zhenwu.

The two books are both national treasures, and they may shock the world.

After all, the Tao Te Ching is one of the top three great philosophical works in the history of world philosophy, and it is also one of the foundations of thousands of years of culture in the land of China.

The history books have recorded that Zhuangzi wrote a total of 52 Zhuangzi books, but only 33 have been handed down, and 19 have been lost, and it is said that the Western Jin Dynasty metaphysician Guo Xiang deliberately deleted the last 19 when he wrote Zhuangzi's notes, leaving only the first 33 articles based on stories and fables.

Unexpectedly.

The nineteen chapters of the legendary Zhuangzi actually fell into the hands of the True Yang Taoist.

If this spreads, it will certainly cause an uproar in the whole of Taoism and all scholars who study Taoism, and may overturn some of their previous understandings.

Of course, Jiang Zhenwu will definitely not let this kind of thing spread.

The old Taoist priest took out a long wooden box from under the stone, only arm-wide, and solemnly handed it to Jiang Zhenwu: "This is a sword I got back then, and I put it together with this Zhuangzi Nineteen Chapters, and I will hand it over to you now." ”

There is a feeling of giving a will.

Jiang Zhenwu's heart became heavy, he took the sword, and suddenly a huge sense of weight hit him, and his heart was shocked.

This box is only afraid of hundreds of kilograms, the box is only wooden, naturally it can't be very heavy, the weight must come from the sword blade in the box!

With curiosity, Jiang Zhenwu opened the box, and there was a long sword that looked simple and unpretentious lying quietly, the blade of the sword was three feet and three long, more than two fingers wide, and the hilt was only the length of a palm, and some animal skins were wrapped around it.

There are no gorgeous shapes, no complicated patterns, not even a trace of superfluous fancy.

It's just a sword.

However, Jiang Zhenwu felt heavy when he grabbed the hilt of the sword, as if he was not holding a sword, but a mountain peak, which was very heavy.

And the sword blades on both sides also flashed with cold light, showing their sharpness.

"It's so heavy, what is it forged for?"

Jiang Zhenwu asked curiously.

Handing these over to Jiang Zhenwu, the True Yang Daoist felt a little relieved, and shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's not the metal on the earth, anyway, you can just put it away." The only things I can give you are these three things, and the others are some miscellaneous studies, and if you learn too much, it will not be useful, but will be distracted. When you are interested in the future, you can always come in and read a book by yourself. ”

Jiang Zhenwu held this heavy sword blade, and a few hundred kilograms was not much for him, so he swung it very easily, and he was not very comfortable for the time being.

He asked, "Master, I want to comprehend the swordsmanship in the ancient books by myself?"

The old Taoist priest had already walked up the stairs and was about to leave, and said with certainty: "Naturally, it is up to you to comprehend, and I won't either, how can I teach you?"

Jiang Zhenwu was speechless: "Then I didn't understand it?"

"That's how you should be, not fit to use a sword. Throw this sword away, and don't practice it. ”

The old Taoist priest said very dryly, and then left.

Jiang Zhenwu could only put the sword back into the wooden box first, and then opened the nineteen chapters of Zhuangzi and read it, trying to see if he could comprehend the swordsmanship.

It was still a pre-Qin script, Jiang Zhenwu didn't look like it was a struggle, and he knew every word, because he had been taught these pre-Qin characters by old Taoist priests since he was a child.

In terms of ancient characters, he may be regarded as one of the best experts in China, and only the old Taoist priest who has studied all his life can compare with him.

However, knowing it does not mean that you can understand what it means.

In ancient times, the sages who wrote books and spoke were unfathomable in speaking and writing, and often one word could represent many meanings, and there were no punctuation marks in the pre-Qin period, so the sentence breaking of the text was a big problem.

Therefore, so many people later commented on the books of many pre-Qin sages such as Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi, Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, etc., because they all had different understandings after reading them.

Nineteen chapters of Zhuangzi!

Jiang Zhenwu read it word by word, although he still couldn't understand the meaning, and he didn't know how to break the sentence, but just by reading the text, he could have a natural and ethereal feeling, the whole person was a lot quieter, and the qi and blood in his body were also condensed.

Recently, many of the complicated emotions I have experienced have gradually dissipated.

Call......

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Jiang Zhenwu's heart was slightly shocked.

It is worthy of the words of the sages of the pre-Qin period.

Just reading it word for word gave him a hint of insight.

He didn't know that the True Yang Taoist had read it for more than ten years, and he didn't react, this is the difference between understanding.

When Jiang Zhenwu read it for the second time, there was a trace of qi and blood in his body.

Read it a third time......

Fourth pass......

Fifth time......

There is no special feeling.

However, when he finished reading the sixth time, the whole person suddenly disappeared into the basement, and the next second appeared in the Huaxia tribe in the Iron Ridge Mountains in the south of Freljord, sitting in his leader's residence, which was the place he left last time.

"Huh, is it just reciting the nineteen chapters of this Zhuangzi a kind of cultivation?"

Jiang Zhenwu thought in shock.

He knew that only when he cultivated martial arts would he be teleported to Freljord.

Therefore, when he recites this scripture, he must have entered a state of cultivation.

Immediately, he held the book in his hand again and continued to read.

Over and over again......

As he continued to read, he gradually sank into the text of the nineteen chapters of Zhuangzi, and the qi and blood in his body automatically worked in his body......

The clansmen of the Huaxia tribe outside were busy, Lanni, Fili, and Harvey were training with their respective teams, An Hu and Bawen were out hunting with people, and the other clansmen were also busy with their own affairs.

No one noticed that their leader had suddenly returned.

Until......

When the cold energy aura in the air condensed towards the building belonging to Jiang Zhenwu in the middle of the tribe, Lan Ni noticed something unusual.
