The yellow paper wrapped in the white Sirius meteorite was carefully taken down, then gently unfolded and spread in Li Shaoyang's temporary laboratory in the Flower Pavilion.

The curtains were closed, the lights were transparent, and the girls stood behind Li Shaoyang, all watching with bated breath.

The yellowed paper is almost transparent, but the quality is surprisingly good and cannot be torn apart easily.

One of the best-preserved sheets was opened, and there was a total of five folds, which was to fold a piece of paper into five layers. All origami is very precise, 26.8 cm wide and 36 cm long, with five lines and 17 characters per line.

At the top of the yellow paper, there is a delicate painting of the statues of the ancestors of the Three Qing Daoists and the saints, and then there is a vertical dragon mark below, and all the fonts are traditional in regular characters, copied by hand, the font is upright and generous, and even looks neater than the printed ones.

The most shocking thing is the word "imperial system" on the inscription.

It reads: "Heaven and earth positioning, yin and yang harmony." The stars are smooth, and the sun and the moon are bright. The cold department should wait, and the rain and sun will come. The mountains will be quiet, and the rivers and seas will be clear...... Huaxia Guiren, Siyi Binfu. The state is consolidated, and the sect and society are safe. Jingyun is long, and this branch is eternal. At the end: "November 11, the seventh year of Yongle." ”

During the Yongle year, the big next year!

Jiu'er checked his mobile phone: "The seventh year of Yongle is 1409 AD, and Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, is in power, this is really strange, why did the tribes in East Africa appear in the antiquities of the Yongle period?" ”

"It may be a book printed by Huaguo, brought to East Africa!" Isabella said.

"It's possible!" Li Shaoyang leaned over and looked: "But this is not a modern print, but a real antiquity." ”

He continued to touch, and saw the seal of Zhang Tianshi of the Ming Dynasty from the crack in the yellow paper, marked "The forty-third generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuchu"!

Jiu'er hurriedly checked the information: "Yes, in the early years of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered the forty-third generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuchu to compile "Daozang", and in the eighth year of Yongle, Zhang Yuchu Heavenly Master died, and the forty-fourth generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuqing continued to compile, and this piece of paper turned out to be a page in "Daozang". ”

Li Shaoyang immediately put away the yellow paper: "Call Wang Shan and find a few experts to identify it." ”

……

"Daozang" is the general name of Taoist classics, and the Taoist sub-books of Paul Zhou and Qin and the classics since the Six Dynasties. The so-called Three Thousand Daozang refers to these classics.

The compilation of Daozang began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the first large-scale compilation began with Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the history of China, the four eras of Taoism with the best development and the most prosperous era, the Tang, Song, Jin, and Yuan dynasties, all had large-scale compilation history, but unfortunately they were not handed down, until the Yongle period of Chengzu in the Ming Dynasty, it cost hundreds of billions of yuan, and thousands of Taoist people were invited to work together, and finally compiled such a "Taoist Collection".

What has been handed down today is this Taoist treasure. Of course, it is not complete, it is said that the original Taoist collection has a total of 5,305 volumes, divided into 480 letters, classified according to three holes, four auxiliaries, and 12 categories, using the "Thousand Character Text" as the letter, from the word "Tian" to the word "English". Less than 500 volumes have survived today, and nine-tenths of them have been lost.

Wang Shan found several of the top experts in China, and when he saw this piece of yellow paper, he grabbed Li Shaoyang and shouted: "This is a lost Taoist treasure, the six hundred and seventy-second volume of "Dongxuan Lingbao Du Life Sutra", this Taoist book has disappeared since the end of the Ming Dynasty. ”

An old expert who looked full of gray hair clapped his hands and said: "The ancients said that this Lingbao Crossing Life Sutra is a kind of exercise, and you can come back to life after successful cultivation, but it has been lost, so we don't know if it's true." ”

They determined that this was a lost Taoist treasure, so they were reluctant to leave, and had to see the others.

After Li Shaoyang took a long time to get them away, he hurriedly collected all the yellow paper wrapped in the white meteorite, but fortunately, the paper was of very good quality and was not damaged at all.

The East African tribe used twenty pieces of yellow paper to wrap the meteorite, adding up to a total of 100 folds, which is exactly half of the "Lingbao Crossing Life Sutra".

Li Shaoyang hurriedly found the widow: "Quickly ask Pumoti, is there any such yellow paper?" ”

Seeing that he was so excited, the widow also took a heart, and directly used the satellite phone left in the tribe, talked to Pumoti for a long time, and then put down the satellite phone and said: "Pumoti said that there are a lot, and he can't count them, he doesn't know that this is a treasure, but because it is something left in the 'Zhenghe Village', it has something to do with Huaguo, and they have been well preserved." ”

Li Shaoyang snatched the satellite phone and asked Pumoti over there: "How many copies are there?" No, the Daozang is collected by volume, and each volume is divided into several copies......"

He was so excited, but Pumoti had already counted it: "Dear Mr. Li, there are a total of 57,800 copies, which are very well preserved, and they are contained in many wooden boxes, I have made people look at them, a total of 480 wooden boxes, many of which are entangled and sealed with a strange kind of straw paper, about 5,305 strips, but I'm sorry, when we gave you a meteorite, we tore open half of it......"

Li Shaoyang let out a sigh of relief, stroked his forehead and said, "God bless China, God bless China!" This is a truly complete Daozang! ”

He didn't want to delay at all, so he immediately ordered Jiu'er to take his own special plane to pick up Daozang directly, go to Xu City first, and let Su Su and Hongmen security protect them randomly, and let Isabella go with him.

If it weren't for the fact that his goal is too big now, he will be targeted as soon as he goes out, causing unnecessary trouble, Li Shaoyang would definitely go by himself.

After they all set off, Li Shaoyang walked in the house excitedly, and the widow looked at it and smiled: "Is it so heavy?" It's just a few books. ”

Li Shaoyang shook his head: "You don't understand, this is not only my Chinese treasure, but also the lost ancient cultivation method in it." Jiulongzong once said that in the Ming Dynasty, there were still many exercises and cultivation formulas, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, all these things were lost. ”

When he said this, he took out his mobile phone and said a few words to Wang Shan, and he must let those experts keep secrets.

The widow laughed and said, "You can forge a page that they have read, and when someone asks about it, they will say that it is the only one." ”

Li Shaoyang was overjoyed: "This method is good, this Daozang must not let others know, fortunately, it is all my own people." ”

Finally calmed down, Li Shaoyang touched the white meteorite and said to the widow: "This gift given to me by the Lum tribe is too valuable, I have to be glad that your tribe is blocked and remote, so no one has found these things, otherwise it would not be my turn to get the treasure, but in gratitude, I decided to give them 30 million US dollars." ”

The widow hurriedly said, "No, as soon as the money goes in, the tribe will deteriorate, and with the money, they will buy weapons and fight for territory." Never give too much money. ”

She got up and said, "As long as your Northern Pharmaceutical Industry sends some medicine from time to time, they will be grateful." ”

Li Shaoyang said yes again and again.

He sat down and looked at half of the "Lingbao Du Life Sutra", although the words in it could be understood, the Dao was deeply hidden, but the meaning was not understood at all. However, it seems vaguely that it is indeed a book about cultivation.

Li Shaoyang praised while watching: "It's really unimaginable, these Daozang actually appeared in East Africa, what did you just say about that 'Zheng He Village'?" ”

The widow smiled: "It's actually not strange that the Lum tribe has these antiquities of the Chinese Kingdom, because your Zheng He fleet of the Ming Dynasty has been there. ”

The widow told the story of this East African tribe women and children.

In the vicinity of the Rum tribe, there is an island called Patai. Six hundred years ago, when Zheng He, a navigator of the Ming Dynasty, led a fleet of seven voyages to the Western Ocean, one of the ships lost its way and sailed off the coast of Patai Island, but unfortunately ran aground and sank.

Six hundred years ago, the Laamu Islands were quite developed and could be said to be the "commercial center" of East Africa. At that time, when Zheng He's merchant ship was about to sink, hundreds of people on board threw out the small boats on it to flee for their lives, and quickly removed various goods from the big ships. Among them were sailors, cooks, doctors, literati, and craftsmen of all kinds.

Eventually, about 400 people managed to escape to the Rum Islands, where they entered the tribe along the overgrown coastline and exchanged food and belongings with the locals with Chinese porcelain and silk they had brought with them.

Li Shaoyang nodded when he heard this: "This statement is credible, the fleet commanded by Zheng He at that time was the most luxurious and advanced ocean-going ship in the world, and the largest ship was also called a treasure ship, which could carry thousands of people, which was equivalent to the current aircraft carrier." ”

At that time, the Chinese scattered in the tribe were no longer able to get in touch with the Ming court, but some of them were still wandering along the coast of East Africa with hope, hoping to get news of their motherland or be rescued from there. When all their efforts came to naught, they gradually married a local woman, followed the local customs, and took root.

The widow smiled again when she said this: "Because of this, Pumoti and those tribesmen are so close to you in Xiangjiang, and it's not because of me. ”

Li Shaoyang suddenly realized, indeed, Pumoti trusted himself very much at that time, and almost put all the fate in his own hands, and there was a reason for it.

The widow also said that there are still Hua porcelain cups in the Lam tribe, and that there are also people from nearby tribes who make small wooden boats and weave various straw mats and straw baskets, which are said to have been handed down from the ancestors of the Hua Kingdom. In a village in the northwestern part of the Lam tribe, their houses are similar in style to the Chinese architectural style, with double wooden doors. The local elders use a stone bowl as a fire cupping to perform cupping therapy, as well as "ginger slices to make tea" for diarrhea, and reduction surgery after dislocation of bones.

Li Shaoyang clapped his hands and said: "This Daozang must have been brought by Zheng He to the West, after the ship sank, the Daozang was exiled to the Ram tribe, those ancestors of the Chinese Kingdom can not want porcelain, silk, or even death, but they will definitely protect this Daozang." This is also our excellent Chinese tradition. ”

He sighed in his heart, and was speechless for a while, and then said in a deep voice for a long time: "Widow, this Daozang book adds up to hundreds of millions of words, and at that time, it was all copied by manpower, and thousands of people may have to divide labor to copy for more than ten years. Even if it is made into a printed version, it will not be able to print a few sets, which is a kind of large-scale circulation, and there may be less than ten sets in the country, while the one in East Africa is a real handwritten version, which may be the first edition, which is a priceless treasure! ”
