The special plane to East Africa returned to Kyoto Airport on time the afternoon of the next day, Li Shaoyang specially ordered Wu Tong to take the crew of this trip to stand by, and only after all the scriptures in the cabin were safely transferred to the Flower Pavilion did Li Shaoyang arrange for Jiu'er to entertain these crew members and give them a rich red envelope.

Of course, he himself couldn't wait to invite the scriptures into the study on the east side of the Flower Pavilion. Because there are too many scriptures, the space in the study room is far from enough for more than 50,000 books.

However, Kyoto's courtyard houses have a huge basement structure, and in recent years, Kyoto's private basement has been repeatedly banned, and two large basements have been dug out under this flower hall a long time ago, and it has been carefully renovated to resemble an underground palace.

After some preparation to prevent moisture and fire, the last more than 50,000 scriptures were placed in the basement according to the title of the volume.

Li Shaoyang took the widow and Isabella into the basement, and Jiu'er was responsible for the security work above, before entering the basement, Li Shaoyang also took special care of Wang Shan and Wang Fengyue, saying that he was unwell and needed to recuperate for the past two days.

Everything was ready, Li Shaoyang bathed and changed clothes, and sat in the middle of these scriptures, feeling very satisfied.

There are more than 50,000 classics, all of which are perfectly preserved, and you can see that the outside of the scripture box is also smeared with local lime and medicine residue from East Africa to prevent insects from biting. Between the books is something similar to a plantain leaf, which is a specialty of the island of Rum, which can effectively absorb water and has the function of preventing moisture.

Li Shaoyang opened a list of collected information and asked the widow and Isabella to help together, comparing the information sheet and comparing these Taoist classics.

This is a complicated task, and if you rely on manpower alone, it may take several months to check it out. However, the three of them used the latest logistics technology, which is a scientific technology for sorting and inspecting goods in logistics warehouses.

First of all, all the classics are arranged in a circle, using the stacking method, and the title of each book is placed sideways, so that you can see it at a glance. Then, using a high-precision camera, all the titles and covers of the book are captured and imported into the computer.

At this time, special image processing software is used to classify the titles of these shots. After the classification is completed, the label is compiled according to the unique classification method of Taoist classics.

At this point, the widow placed the printed label in the hands of a nimble robot, where Isabella opened a special program worth millions of dollars. Under the control of the program, the manipulator quickly attached a label with a smart chip.

When all the labels are attached to the book, the rest is much simpler.

Li Shaoyang took out his mobile phone, opened a small app, and quickly typed in the name of the Tao Te Ching. Press the touch button of the mobile phone, the mobile phone released a signal, and the chip attached to the book sensed the signal, so the "Tao Te Ching" placed in tens of thousands of books issued a didi prompt sound.

Li Shaoyang walked to the side of the circular book building with satisfaction, and pulled out the "Tao Te Ching" from it: "Wonderful, it will be much faster to find books in this way." Really good software. ”

This is based on the development of modern logistics and warehousing, after all, there are at least hundreds of thousands of goods in the warehouses of large e-commerce, and without this intelligent management method, it has become a big problem to find goods.

Now Li Shaoyang can call up the classics he wants at will, as long as he clicks on the computer, the information and explanations of these classics can also be automatically displayed.

Speaking of the three thousand classics of the Daomen, in fact, the classification is very particular. To put it simply, it is "three holes, four auxiliaries and twelve classics".

The so-called three caves refer to the three major factions of Daomen cultivation, which are divided into the Cave True Division, the Cave Xuan Division, and the Cave God Division.

The three cave classics are naturally also the main scriptures of the Daomen, and the true part of the cave is the "Shangqing Sutra", which is the Tianbaojun, the true sect leader of the Yuqingjing Cave; The cave Xuanbu is the "Lingbao Sutra", which is produced by Lingbaojun, the master of the Dongxuan Sect in Taiqing Realm; The cave god department is the "Three Emperors Sutra", which is the Taiqing Realm cave god sect leader Shen Baojun.

Under the three-cave classics, there are four other auxiliary cultivation sects, which are in harmony with each other in the three caves, and are divided into the Taixuan Division, the Taiping Division, the Taiqing Division, and the Zheng Division......

There is a complex relationship in this, for example, the "Taiqing Sutra" auxiliary cave Shenbu Jindan below the immortal industry, and the so-called Jindan below the immortal industry, specifically refers to the "Taiqing Golden Liquid Shendan Sutra" and other alchemy and food scriptures passed on by Ge Xuan......

Listening to Li Shaoyang's explanation, Isabella and the widow were dizzy: "This is too complicated, I can't understand it." ”

Li Shaoyang smiled: "It seems complicated to say, in fact, the inheritance of the Daomen has been completely blurred until now, after all, these classics have disappeared, and those classified factions have also been merged and died, and now the remaining Daomen inheritance is mixed with martial arts people like Wudang and Kongtong, so no one can tell." ”

He stroked the study building with his hand: "The classics here, in fact, don't need to be divided into three holes and four auxiliaries, you just need to remember the twelve types." ”

These twelve classifications bring together all the classics according to their function and nature, each with its own characteristics.

For example, the articles and biographies are about some theories of Taoism and stories of Taoist masters, which can be regarded as novels. And the spirit map class, the spectrum class, is the magic weapon spirit animal of the preaching gate, the pedigree of the inheritance of each major gate, and it is also a textual thing.

There are also such as praise, chapter and table, and prestige, which are all some ceremonies of the Daomen and commendation documents for the imperial court at that time, and they are also of little cultivation value.

Li Shaoyang is concerned about only three categories, that is, the most mysterious and practical "Runes", "Jade Recipes", and "Instrumental Arts". These three categories are the Fu Seal Exercises, the Mantra Exercises, and the Methods of Refining Weapons and Alchemy in Daomen Practice.

That's all that matters. For example, the "Cave Xuanling Treasure Crossing Life Sutra" belongs to the jade recipe exercises, and there is also a "Cave True Golden Pill Thousand Door Recipes" which is a great achievement of alchemy.

The two girls were envious when they heard this, and Isabella clapped her hands and said: "Shaoyang, then you quickly find the exercises of this "Divine Rune" for me, if I succeed in cultivation, I can draw a talisman to drive away the enemy, how majestic." ”

Li Shaoyang smiled slightly: "How can it be so simple, Daomen cultivation has to start from the basics, you haven't even cultivated the most basic breath, you have to draw a talisman to invite God?" ”

He clicked on his mobile phone, found a copy of the Yellow Emperor Yin Fu Sutra, took it out and handed it to Isabella: "Take a look, after reading it, you will know how difficult it is to cultivate." ”

Isabella and the widow opened the page with great interest, and on the first fold were ten words: "The way to observe the sky, the way to hold the sky, all the way!" ”

Isabella and the widow were dumbfounded: "These are ten words, is this the first step in cultivation?" ”

Li Shaoyang was beside him: "These ten words can be said to be all-encompassing, and they are the general outline of the cultivation of this Yin Fu Sutra, which means that if you observe the laws of the universe and master the laws of nature to act, then you will be invincible in whatever you do." This is the idea of the unity of heaven and man, and it also contains the dialectical theory of observation and learning, so it is called the general outline. ”

Isabella was not convinced: "Isn't it just cultivation, why are you talking so much, you find a specific cultivation formula and I'll take a look." ”

Li Shaoyang flipped through a few pages with a smile, pointed to a line of words, and said, "This is a specific cultivation method." ”

The two women looked at it, and this time it was good, it was twelve words: "The evil of the nine tricks, you care about the three things, you can move." ”

"Oh my God, I gave up." The widow shook her head and walked out of the secret room, she knew only a little about Chinese culture, and encountering this kind of classic was like reading a book from heaven.

Isabella pondered, and finally held back a sentence: "This is the meaning of combining movement and static...... and she laughed herself: "Forget it, I won't learn anymore." ”

Li Shaoyang touched her long hair: "If your candle dragon power can be completely absorbed, not to mention the infinite power, you can also release the power of the dragon, which is not worse than the legendary cultivators." ”

He pointed to the scriptures and said: "This sentence is actually a good explanation, it means the combination of movement and static, but in just twelve words, there are many hidden meanings, such as the nine knots, which refers to the seven knots on the human body and the lower two knots...... And the three essentials are the ears, eyes and mouth. This sentence is about the trick of breathing. ”

Isabella suddenly said, "Then how to cultivate this breath?" ”

Li Shaoyang clapped his hands and said: "You said the key, in fact, the most difficult thing in cultivation is to cultivate qi, this is the entry point and the threshold, now even if we go to the deep mountains and wilderness, we don't have those aura, not to mention that the climate has been polluted, there is haze everywhere, not to mention cultivation, breathing has become a suffering." ”

Li Shaoyang said and pondered for himself: "Unless you use the treasure of heaven and earth, or other adventures, you can get qi first, and then go to cultivation......"

He thought silently, and sank into it for a moment.

Isabella didn't dare to disturb him, so she silently exited the basement, brought a pack of biscuits and a bottle of water, and sat at the door of the basement to guard.

In this quiet basement, Li Shaoyang slowly searched for thousands of volumes of classics.

What he was looking for was the most basic cultivation method of the Dao Sect, that is, the method of entry. For someone who has never practiced, this is the most important thing.

But after searching all the three categories such as runes, and turning over many theoretical classics, there is no real set of introductory exercises.

Moreover, these Taoist classics are all vague, mainly prompting and understanding, and there is no classic book that talks about cultivation in the Eight Classics.

Li Shaoyang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "These classics are vast into the sea, I am looking for a needle in a haystack, unless I can read through all these five thousand Dao Collections, I really don't know how to start." ”

This idea is based on the fact that Jin Yong wrote in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that Huang Shang read through three thousand Taoist collections before he understood it, learned the esoteric cultivation method, and finally created the "Nine Yin True Scripture".

It's just that Jin Daxia writes very simply, and it is too difficult to read through the Daozang.

Not to mention the number of words, tens of thousands of classics, the words used are extremely refined, and there are a large number of special words, modern people like Li Shaoyang, just take out a book and have to find annotations and translated vernacular texts, not to mention reading and understanding, it takes half a day just to understand the meaning.

Li Shaoyang was a little distressed, and now he was facing the gold and silver mountains, but he didn't know how to say it.

He turned around a few times, and suddenly saw the ancient book of "Tao Te Ching", which should be the original Tao Te Ching copied by hand, and it was the first book he had drawn out just now.

The Tao Te Ching is only 5,000 words, but it is said to contain the foundation of the universe and Taoist cultivation.

If you don't know how to start, you can only start with the classics in this Taoist classic.

Li Shaoyang opened the pages of the book, and the beginning was still the familiar "Tao Ke Dao, very Tao ......", but after turning two or three pages, he suddenly saw a line of small red pen characters in the elegant and neat black font.

The small print, written in the vernacular, did not look like a commentary, and looked like something added by some scribe himself. It's like reading a book.

Li Shaoyang hurriedly walked to the light, and the first line of the red letter read: "I have read through the Daozang for ten years, and I deeply think that the way of heaven is ruthless......"

His heart jumped: "Nima, is there really someone who has read through the five thousand Daozang?!" ”
