Inside the main hall, Zong Xiaoyan looked at the last statue that looked like Tang Ding in surprise, "Why did you appear here?"

"yes, I don't know how I ended up here. Tang Ding held the stone tablet of the Tao Te Ching in his hand, although his spiritual power had not yet recovered to the point where he could absorb aura, but holding this stone tablet, Tang Ding would feel inexplicably calm.

"No, I'm not asking you, I'm asking this statue, how can it be placed here?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? Forget it, don't think about it, to paraphrase a Northeast proverb, what do you like? During this time, Tang Ding Lao was in the Northeast and learned a lot of Northeast dialects.

This is the third day that Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan have stayed in this hall, and in these three days, the two of them have not eaten a drop of water or rice. Although both of them are the top masters of chemical strength, normal people can endure for three days without eating or drinking, and they can only endure ten and a half more days and a half months at most.

However, there was no way out, and the two would die sooner or later.

When he first came to this hall, Tang Ding also told Zong Xiaoyan about these statues with great interest, and told her about the amazing life and past of these characters, but a day later, he couldn't talk anymore.

It's not hopeless, but it's hopeless.

It's a hard time like this.

Zong Xiaoyan is a woman, as long as there is a lover in her heart, it will be the same everywhere. If you can be with the person you love, you won't regret it even if you die.

Therefore, even if he was facing such a desperate situation, Zong Xiaoyan could still have such a calm state of mind.

But Tang Ding is different from Zong Xiaoyan, although Tang Ding is not afraid of death, but he has the responsibility to take Zong Xiaoyan away from here, because he brought Zong Xiaoyan in, he has the responsibility to send her out.

He can choose his own life and death, but he can't help others choose life and death, even if Zong Xiaoyan is willing.

However, Tang Ding always had a feeling that he would never die so inexplicably when he entered this place so mysteriously. Tang Ding had an intuition that his hope of going out should lie on this stone tablet engraved with the Tao Te Ching.

In Tang Ding's view, the "Tao Te Ching" on this stone tablet is very likely to be the original work of Lao Tzu Li Er.

If this news is released, I am afraid that the entire historiographical community will be shocked.

Tao Te Ching, also known as Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu, Five Thousand Words, and Lao Tzu Five Thousand Texts, is a work of the pre-Qin princes in ancient China before they split their families, and was admired by all the sons at that time.

The Tao Te Ching is an important source of Taoist philosophical thought.

"Tao Te Ching" is divided into two parts, the first part of the "Book of Virtues", the next part of the "Tao Jing", the text to the philosophical meaning of "morality" as the outline, discussing self-cultivation, governing the country, the use of soldiers, the way of health preservation, and the inner mostly to politics as the main purpose, is the so-called "inner saint and outer king" of the study, the meaning of the text is profound, inclusive and broad, known as the king of all classics.

According to UNESCO statistics, the Tao Te Ching is the most widely translated and published cultural masterpiece in foreign languages other than the Bible.

Of course, in Tang Ding's view, the Tao Te Ching is far more esoteric and obscure than the Bible.

Thinking of the Bible, Downing has also been exposed to the Bible. At Christ's College, Cambridge University, England, there is an original biblical book with a lot of spirit, most likely the original manuscript of the Bible.

Because of the aura in this Bible, Tang Ding escaped the pursuit of the blood clan.

At that time, after Downing fainted, the aura of the Bible disappeared. Even though Downing didn't absorb the aura of the Bible, Downing was still grateful to the Bible.

However, this Bible can only be regarded as a treasure, while this Tao Te Ching is a holy relic.

The aura in the seemingly abundant "Bible" is nothing compared to this "Tao Te Ching", and there is no comparison at all.

The reason why the Bible is great is that it contains the power of faith of hundreds of millions of people, and this power of faith should be the source of the aura in the Bible. However, the aura in the Tao Te Ching can be described as vast, and there are not many people who believe in Taoism, so the power of Taoist faith should be much lower than that of the Bible.

But in fact, the aura in this "Tao Te Ching" is much richer than that of the Bible.

However, the result is the opposite, the "Tao Te Ching" in Tang Ding's hand seems to contain endless aura.

Although the 5,000 words in the "Tao Te Ching" have already been read by Tang Ding, Tang Ding always has a feeling that his reading is just floating on the surface, and he has not yet understood the deep meaning of the "Tao Te Ching".

For example, this sentence: Xuan Zhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders.

It seems to be explaining the subtlety of the Dao, but Tang Ding always has a feeling that this sentence seems to be to reveal the secret of the Great Bronze Gate, but he has not been able to understand it for the time being.

There is also this sentence: Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature.

This sentence seems to be explaining the relationship between heaven, earth, man, Tao, and nature, but this sentence outlines the four words "Tao Law and Nature", revealing the essence of nature, and also summing up the central idea of the entire "Tao Te Ching".

But if the whole "Tao Te Ching" only talks about this, it seems too shallow.

Anyone who reads the Tao Te Ching can find out what he wants from it. The Tao Te Ching has such an ability.

Literati read the Tao Te Ching, and they can find out the philosophy of self-cultivation, family harmony, and governing the country and leveling the world.

When the general reads the Tao Te Ching, he can see the way of using soldiers.

Cultivators read the Tao Te Ching and read the science of health preservation in it.

When the ruler reads the Tao Te Ching, he can find out a lot of information about governing the country.

Therefore, the Tao Te Ching has been respected by many emperors since ancient times.

Therefore, many people think that this "Tao Te Ching" was actually written by Lao Tzu to expound his political ideas, but Tang Ding has a different point of view.

In Tang Ding's heart, this "Tao Te Ching" may have Lao Tzu's political ideas, but with Lao Tzu's ancestor-level status in the Hidden Immortal Sect, and with his idle cloud and crane-like state of mind, he will definitely not please the king in order to enter the ranks.

What's more, the ancestor of the Hidden Immortal Sect, what a high-ranking figure he was, his status was no less than that of the emperor, how could he be willing to join the ranks? If he could really cultivate to become an immortal, the emperor was just a mortal.

Therefore, Tang Ding prefers to believe that this "Tao Te Ching" is a method to enlighten people. Otherwise, it would not have been openly placed in the location of this Hidden Immortal Sect Dao Sect.

In the past few days, Tang Ding's mental strength has recovered, but he found a strange phenomenon: he couldn't absorb the aura in the Tao Te Ching.

This situation has been encountered by Tang Ding before.

It stands to reason that with Tang Ding's current spiritual strength, he can completely condense his spirit, find a treasure with aura, and absorb aura.

But he has nothing to do with the aura in this "Tao Te Ching".

All the treasures with aura that Tang Ding had come into contact with before, he could smoothly absorb the aura inside, and then turn to enhance his spiritual power, except for the dragon sword sword.

Although Tang Ding knew that the aura in the Dragon Descending Sword was abundant, he could not absorb the aura in it for his own use.

Now Tang Ding once again encountered an aura that he couldn't absorb.

According to Tang Ding's plan, if he can absorb the aura in this, maybe he will be able to find a way to get out of this big bronze gate.

However, it is a pity that although the aura in this "Tao Te Ching" is like an abyss, Tang Ding has not absorbed half of it.

Again, this road is not going to work.

Tang Ding went from disappointment to hope, and from hope to disappointment, and now Tang Ding has come out of disappointment and gradually become indifferent.

If you do have to die here, it's not a big deal.

In addition to familiarizing himself with the Tao Te Ching, Tang Ding will also think about some questions.

For example, why did my father go to the bottom of the heaven and earth where this Hidden Immortal Sect was located?

What did he come here for?

If my father had also been inside the bronze gate, how did he get out?

At the Mausoleum of Emperor Nurhachi, his father left himself a warning formation, telling him that there was danger. So in the ancestral court of the Hidden Immortal Sect at the bottom of this heavenly pool, why didn't my father leave a warning message for himself?

Could it be that my father thinks that there is no danger to him here?

However, even if Tang Ding wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out how his father got out of here, or that he didn't enter this bronze gate at all?

It seems that he should have been brought in by the Dragon Descending Sword, but now the Dragon Descending Sword is gone, although there is a vast aura in this "Tao Te Ching", but he can't absorb it.

Since you can't absorb it, don't absorb it.

Since you can't understand it, you don't have to do it.

In the next two weeks, Tang Ding completely let go of the Tao Te Ching, and did not think about the vast aura in the Tao Te Ching, he then concentrated on accompanying Zong Xiaoyan, wandering around this hall, walking and stopping outside the hall, and treating this dark space as a flower before the moon.

Since Zong Xiaoyan can't get out of here because of herself, then Tang Ding has to make up for her, at least not let her have regrets.

Tang Ding felt that his time with Zong Xiaoyan was running out, and the two of them had not eaten or drunk in this ancestral court of the Hidden Immortal Sect that had not seen the light of day, and it had been more than half a month, although the two of them were masters of transforming strength, they could lock the energy and water of their bodies, and try to lose as little as possible, but less loss did not mean no loss. Just because you have a slow metabolism doesn't mean you don't have a metabolism.

Normal people can't hold on for three days in this environment of not eating or drinking, but Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan are masters of chemical strength that have surpassed the limits of the human body, and their endurance and physical strength are unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, despite this, there is always a day when the energy is exhausted.

Tang Ding and Zong Xiaoyan should have tried their best to save their physical strength at the moment and reduce the time they spent going out, so as to consume less physical strength, but neither of them seemed to care about the imminent death, they were enjoying the sweetness of love and the beauty of life.

While enjoying love and life, Tang Ding suddenly realized the Tao Te Ching.
