Chapter 312: Re-editing the Daozang
Chapter 312
Lu Worm's words made me cry and laugh, can I kill people because others are smarter than me, what kind of thinking logic is this, he made such a fuss, and the serious atmosphere was swept away, I dispersed my mana, withdrew the blowing willow, waved my hand and said, "Okay, don't be courteous here, you want to be a hero and save the beauty and go crazy, go back and sit down!"
In the face of my obscenity, Lu Worm, who had long been accustomed to nature, walked back to the bench and sat down, and after I also beckoned Zuo Xundong to sit down, I knocked on the table in front of her and asked, "Miss Zuo, if you really don't want to say it, I don't care, you give me the token of the trial of wisdom, I can leave immediately, and promise that from now on, I, Zhang Wu, will never have anything to do with your Zuo family again, how about it?"
Zuo Xundong pursed his lips and smiled, "Why is the second chief of the water so anxious, Xundong didn't refuse to answer, you two performed such a double reed, isn't it just to let Xundong take the initiative to speak, how could you leave without getting an answer." โ
There was a little embarrassment on my face, and I couldn't help but glared at Lu Worm angrily, Lu Worm spread his hands, his face was innocent, alas, in fact, I can't complain about him, I don't know how many times we have acted in this line, I didn't expect to overturn on Zuo Xundong, a little girl, Zuo Xundong's intelligence is really rare.
After revealing the disguise, it was more convenient to chat, Zuo Xundong put away the Dao Zang on the table and put it aside, patted the book and said, " Before talking about business, I still have something I want to ask the Taoist, in recent days I have carefully studied this book, eye-opening at the same time, but also gave birth to a lot of doubts, there are many records in this book, and the current Daomen are not compatible, and there are many contradictions in the book, some chapters will appear in the preface does not match the afterword, as the only official book of the Daomen, there are so many flaws, it is puzzling. โ
I laughed, I thought Zuo Xundong wanted to ask me something, this girl's intelligence is nothing to say, but some things can not be understood by being smart, for example, people are sophisticated.
"Large-scale compilation of Taoist books, originated in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was presided over by Wang Yan to compile, called the Northern Qi Daozang, and then the Tang Dynasty had Kaiyuan Daozang, the treasure of the Tonglu, the Song Dynasty revised again, with the Great Song Dynasty Tiangong treasure, Zhenghe Wanshou Daozang, the Yuan Dynasty changed to Xuandu Treasure, and finally to the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu ordered the forty-third generation of the Heavenly Master Zhang Yuchu to compile the orthodox Daozang, only to lay the most authoritative foundation of the Daozang. โ
"In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, because of the compilation of the orthodox Taoist collection, the search was not thorough, and there were many omissions, and the fiftieth generation of heavenly master Zhang Guoxiang was ordered to school the magazine." Continuation of the Daozang', the full name of Wanli Continuation of the Daozang, this is, the continuation of the two combined, is the complete Daozang, unfortunately, Guangxu 26 years, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army into Beijing, originally burned down, the only fortunate thing is that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, this book was awarded to a lot of Taoist temples, in 1923, the Commercial Press in the name of Hanfen Building, the Beijing Baiyun Temple is hidden, continued to photocopy and re-compile into a book, regrettably, although the Baiyun Temple has been repaired in the 25th year of Daoguang by Wang Tingbi, but there are still defects, you read this oneใ โ
I pointed to Zuo Xundong's book of Daozang, "It's the so-called photocopy of Hanfen Building, as for the question you mentioned, after I said so much, with Miss Zuo's ingenuity, it shouldn't be difficult to guess the truth." โ
Zuo Xundong stared at the desktop and sighed, "Yes, no wonder there are so many omissions in this book, aside from the incompleteness of the content, this book has been compiled by so many dynasties, considering the different laws and regulations of the authorities in various dynasties, under the deliberate avoidance of the compiler, it is normal for the content to be inconsistent, plus the compiler is not a monk, it is inevitable that there will be differences in some aspects of cognition, so there are so many incomprehensible places in the book, Shui Erdao Chang, am I right?"
I applauded," What Miss Zuo said is very true, cultivators are actually no different from ordinary people, there are people who work hard, there are also people who are indiscriminate, the compilation and revision cycle of the Taoist collection is so long, it is difficult to ensure that there will not be a few flattering people in the host, in order to cater to the authorities and modify the content against their will, I believe that this part of the content will not be too much, but the problem is not how much they have changed, but we don't know what parts they have changed, which leads us to doubt the whole book, since the whole book has uncertainty, then the authority said, where does it come from๏ผโ
Zuo Xundong's eyes lit up, "That's right, that's right, if one of the 10,000 numbers is wrong, we have to re-test all the 10,000 numbers, so the amount of work used to correct them will even exceed the calculation itself, in this case, why continue to spend so much energy on repairing the Daozang, we can recompile it!"
Zuo Xundong's words shocked me so much that my jaw was about to drop, re-compile the Daozang, is this just a joke, how was the previous Daozang compiled, it was ordered by the emperor, and the presiding officer mobilized resources from all over the country to compile it, let's recompile it, are there so many resources to use.
Zuo Xundong didn't think much of the question I asked, she took out her mobile phone and replied casually while texting, " Why are you so confused, did you have Baidu in ancient times, did you have a telephone in ancient times, did you have an airplane in ancient times, even if they gathered the resources of the whole country, where can the efficiency be, a group of people work behind closed doors, consult a problem, it will take a few months just for someone to come, and it will take people to turn over how many days it takes to call a piece of information, compare what with the current technology, you can do it yourself, I can organize this matter myself, you can help me write a letter of introduction, don't let me be turned away by the door when I visit. โ
I nodded indifferently, ah a few times, it must be no problem to write a letter of introduction, during the battle of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, in order to get out of trouble from the hands of the White Tiger King, I temporarily formed an enlightenment alliance, all the sects expressed their stance on the spot to join, although this move is pure child's play, but let all the sects and factions owe me a favor because of this, Zuo Xundong took my letter of introduction, not to mention finding an ordinary monk to inquire about the information, she just wants to see the heads of the various factions, I'm afraid there will be no words, the only problem is that I inadvertently drove Zuo Xundong, a person who originally knew little about the Daomen, to recompile the Daozang, for the Daomen, this is a curse or a blessingใ
Most smart people have a common problem, that is, they have made up their minds about things, it is difficult to give up because of the dissuasion of others, Zuo Xundong is obviously also among them, this kind of thing, persuasion cannot be persuaded, and after Zuo Xundong personally experienced the difficulties, he must have retreated.
After the topic of Daozang was finished, Zuo Xundong began to answer my questions, "Don't hide the second Taoist of the water, just a few words, I was indeed entrusted by someone to convey to the Taoist chief, please my person, is the Qingguo Master of the Qingguo Garden in Xiangyang City, the Qingguo Master paints a good Danqing, I often go to learn from her painting skills, after a long time, I have become a good friend who has nothing to say, after hearing the news that you are coming, the Qingguo Master asked me to do such a thing, just a word, I agreed to come down." โ
Master Qingguo, isn't that a person from the Yujiao again, if she wants to tell me anything, just tell me no, why bother so much effort to ask Zuo Xundong to convey it?
I pondered, and after a while, I slowly said, "Master Qingguo didn't just ask you to convey this sentence to me, the whole trial of wisdom should be carefully designed by you, after all, the truth of others is only the truth after all, only after you have experienced it yourself, you can understand the true meaning, the twin peaks, the fork in the road, the metaphor is good, the closer you are to the answer, the more you will lose yourself, this does not sound like a reason, but a bit of a warning." โ
Zuo Xundong propped up his head on the table with his hands and stared at me with a pair of big eyes, "Then I don't know, I still wonder that Master Qingguo would be so concerned about you, an unmasked person, but the master said, you are the beginning of everything, and the end of everything, if you make a mistake, the world will go through hardships for this, so it is the duty of the world to overcome obstacles and light the lights of the road ahead for you. โ
"Tut-tut," before I could answer, Lu Worm's sour voice came out first, "Isn't this Qingguo Master bragging, and it is the duty of the world to cut through thorns and thorns for you and light the lights of the road ahead, Brother Wu, why didn't I find out that you are now on the same level as Sakyamuni." โ
When we were in Wuhan, Master Aoki once said to me, because the time has not yet come, I have not yet returned to the position, so the Yujiao can only help me from the side, I believe that Master Qingguo's intervention in the trial of wisdom through Zuo Xundong must have a deep meaning, but these people with faith have a common problem, that is, they never speak thoroughly, and always give some ambiguous hints, which makes people embarrassed.
After calling back Qian Rong, who didn't know what he was doing outside, Zuo Hefeng personally participated in the banquet to bid us farewell at night, before that, the token Zuo Xundong who passed the trial of wisdom had been handed over to us, similar to the Xiang family, it is also a token with the words left and wisdom written on the front and back respectively, the only difference is that the token of the Xiang family is made of copper, and the left family is made of stone.
There is Zuo Xundong in the banquet, naturally there is a lot of laughter, and the completely neutral relationship between us and the Zuo family makes everyone have no taboos, and this meal is relatively pleasant.
During the meal, I quietly looked at Qian Rong a few times, this kid hasn't seen him for a few days, not only did the whole person not feel recharged, but the look of exhaustion was a little heavier, I was full of suspicions in my heart, last time Qian Rong disappeared, it was to go back to the headquarters of the Chu Tianmeng to cut off the news from the Xiang family's eyeliner, what is it for this time?
After a full meal, Zuo Hefeng said a few words, we dispersed, on the way back to the room Qian Rong was still drooping his head and looking unenergetic, I wanted to ask him what was going on, but he was embarrassed to speak when he looked like this, but when we entered the room and were about to close the door, Qian Rong's figure flashed in.
