Chapter 39: The Seven Divisions of the Daozang

"What is this?" Ah Ku looked at the key in his hand and looked up at Xi Zhen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xizhen smiled slightly and replied, "Reward." ”

Ah Ku blinked his eyes and looked at the object in his hand seriously.

The key is made of bronze, the style is simple, and it feels quite heavy in the hand. The whole body of the key is engraved with dense ancient characters, like an ancient thing, but its color is new, as if it has been properly stored and placed in a container on a daily basis, so it remains so intact.

There was only one key, and Xi Zhen called Ah Ku alone to talk outside the house, she looked up and asked, "Why am I the only one?" ”

Since Qingyuan Five Fun is five people participating, it shouldn't be the only one who gets the reward.

Xizhen touched her head and replied, "It's not a reward for the five tastes. ”

Ah Ku didn't understand: "That's?" ”

There was affection in Xi Zhen's gentle gaze, and he said, "This is your reward for passing the Inch Road. ”

Ah Ku was silent for a moment and said, "This is what the golden silk nanmu locket contains?" ”

Xizhen nodded and said, "Exactly! ”

Ah Ku looked at the things in his hand for a while, then turned to look at Ding Yi, who was still lying on the bed in the medicine hall, and suddenly felt a little sorry in his heart.

Ding Yi fell into the lake for her own injury, but she didn't have any reward, she just talked to some ghosts in the inch road, and she was rewarded, and the comparison between the two parties was too unfair.

She turned around and returned the bronze ancient key in her hand to Xi Zhen, and said, "This, I can't ask for it." ”

Xi Zhen was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Ah Ku to refuse like this, but seeing her frequent appearance in the medicine hall, she immediately understood.

is not greedy for merit, knows how to share, he has a little more love for Ah Ku in his heart, and he was just about to say something, when Li Yuansheng's voice came in from outside the fence.

"Ah Ku doesn't have to be like this, we didn't help you because we wanted to get some reward."

Li Yuansheng was holding a food box in his hand, as if he had just visited someone.

"And we've known for a long time that there are rewards in the road."

Ah Ku didn't hear about this, she was afraid that Li Yuansheng would beg her, so she raised her head and looked at Xi Zhen and asked him directly for confirmation. Xi Zhen Xianjun is gentle and kind, but he is very principled in his work, and he never lies.

Xi Zhen looked at her eyes, nodded, and explained: "Qingyuan Five Fun has been around for a long time, and there was originally no reward, but later Uncle Yaoming issued a decree in order to encourage students to go to the Inch Walk Road, saying that those who pass the aisle will get the opportunity to enter the three caves and four pavilions to read books for a day. ”

"Three caves and four pavilions?" Ah Ku seemed to have heard this word somewhere, she thought about it for a while, and looked up in surprise: "Is it so?" ”

Xi Zhen nodded: "It is the place where the Taoist classics - the Seven Taoist Collections are stored. ”

***

"The Seven Dao Collections are not only seven, but a general term, which refers to all the true scriptures and Taoist scriptures of Taoism, and it is only because of its large number that it is hidden in three caves and four pavilions, so it is collectively referred to as the Seven Parts."

Li Yuansheng's voice was slightly higher than Xi Zhen's, with the hustness peculiar to men of this age.

Xizhen has left, You Dong and Nanzhen have returned, and everyone gathered around the wooden table to discuss the matter of Ah Ku entering the cave pavilion tomorrow to read books.

Ding Yi was still sleeping peacefully on the sickbed, making a shallow breathing sound.

On weekdays, this out-of-the-mouth work is never Li Yuansheng's turn to do, but tonight Nanzhen and Ding Erju sat aside with bad expressions, without the slightest intention of interjecting, and You Dong, who usually cherishes and cares for Ah Ku the most, is also uncharacteristically silent at this time, only bowing his head and drinking tea, as if he is distressed about something.

Ah Ku, who was already ashamed, saw everyone like this, thinking that everyone was dissatisfied with her swallowing alone, and she blamed herself even more in her heart, and her head lowered more and more.

The four people who were not in the state made the atmosphere in the medicine hall a little stiff, and Li Yuansheng had to provoke the beam himself in order to ease the embarrassing atmosphere.

He glanced at everyone's expressions, cleared his throat, and continued: "The Seven Dao Collections are voluminous, covering all aspects of catechism, teachings, precepts, cultivation of spells, fasting and Jiao rituals, preaching and propagation, and feng shui calculations. It contains rich content in various aspects such as literature and science, court and politics, the art of war, business and Taoism, the six arts, and the art of disambiguation. ”

"How can you finish reading so many books in just one day?" Ding Er, who had been silent, was the first to speak, relieving Yuan Sheng's embarrassing situation.

Yuan Sheng saw her answer, his heart was happy, and his tone unconsciously increased a few points, he said: "Naturally, you can't read all these Haohao classics in one day, and these seven Taoist treasures are Taoist treasures, Qingyuan disciples can only enter the Taixuan Pavilion to read books when they are officially introduced, and they can enter the Taiping Pavilion to read books only when they practice to the Tongdan monks, and they can enter the Taiqing Pavilion only when they practice until they practice until they can enter the Taiqing Pavilion when they practice until they practice until they reach the Jindan and they can enter the Zhengyi Pavilion, until the Feixian succeeds and the Xian Dan has been completed, they can go to the three caves to read the book." Now that Ah Ku has just been enlightened, he is qualified to go in and read books, although it is only for one day, but it is also extremely difficult. ”

Nan Zhen tapped her fingers on the table and said, "What is the difference between these three caves and the Book of Four Pavilions?" Why do you have to become an immortal before you can enter the inner meditation book? ”

Ah Ku was a little puzzled, and asked, "Nanzhen, doesn't Penglai have seven Daozang?" ”

Nan Zhen shook his head and replied: "Yes, yes, but the management is not as strict as Qingyuan, nor is it classified according to the three caves and four pavilions, let alone restricting disciples from reading books according to the level of cultivation." ”

Li Yuansheng smiled and explained: "Qingyuan is different from Penglai's teachings, there are many disciples who have no experience in cultivation, and there is a lack of teachers, so it is normal to think about it. ”

Nanzhen is a disciple of Penglai, not Qingyuan, and there are some things that cannot be told. But Nan Zhen has a special identity and has a good relationship with everyone, and Xi Zhen didn't specifically explain that he couldn't tell her these things when he left, so Li Yuansheng didn't have to worry too much.

He continued: "The types of books contained in the Three Caves and Four Pavilions are indeed different, among which the Taixuan Pavilion contains the Tao Te Ching and its commentaries and other philosophical classics; The Taiping Pavilion mainly houses the Taiping Sutra; The Taiqing Pavilion preserves all the ancient documents on alchemy and other health preservation techniques; Zhengyi Pavilion mainly houses the classic ...... of the Heavenly Master's Dao"

"Wait, wait......" Li Yuansheng said a bunch of pavilions, scriptures, and books that Nanzhen's head was dizzy, and she said: "It's all useless things." ”

In the eyes of Nanzhen, who advocates force, those arts and sciences, alchemy, and health care methods are of no practical use. Cultivating the Tao is to become an immortal, and to jump over the dragon gate and fly to the immortal, improving combat effectiveness is the only way to succeed.

Li Yuansheng smiled bitterly and said, "Although the books accepted by these four pavilions are not obviously beneficial to spells, they are all Taoist classics, and they are not useless as Miss Nanzhen said. Besides......"

Li Yuansheng deliberately sold a pass, lowered his head and drank a sip of water before continuing: "If the Book of the Four Pavilions is not precious enough, isn't there still those three caves?" ”
