"I heard that in the fifth year of Xianqing, Li Rong Daochang in Shuzhong and Master Jingtai of the Xianshou Sect argued in the inner hall in order to seek the truth, Li Daochang enlightened the righteousness: Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders, since then the Xuanzhi is famous all over the world, "Tianxing began to talk about irrelevant past" Li Daochang quoted Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing, the tongue is full of lotus, it is really wonderful"

Zhong Licuo couldn't help nodding and said yes, Lao Tzuhua Hu Jing is the treasure of his final Nanshan Haotian view of the town, they Lou Guan Tao from Yin Xi to descend, by Qingguanglu doctor Yin Wencao carried forward, in the Xianqing years like the sun, by the world of Taoism is the main thing, since he is proud of things. But does this have anything to do with the spear?

"I didn't expect that the Tianxing monks also studied the classics of my Daomen" Sima Chengzhen, the old immortal also sighed, regardless of the others, he sent a high hat first, "This is the blessing of my Daomen"

"Where, where, I just read miscellaneous books in my spare time, as the saying goes, do a good deed every day, read a book a day, good is great" Lord Tianxing began to digress again, "So, you don't know, my teacher can be strict with me, every time I let me endorse a book, a word is wrong, it hurts, I was very stupid when I was a child, every time I memorize an article, the palms of my hands are swollen like buns"

The weather has long been dark, and the night in early spring is as cold as water, but everyone is sweating profusely.

"The Chinese Normal School is rigorous in learning, since ancient times, strict teachers have produced high apprentices, and the achievements of the Tianxing monks today are inseparable from the strict teaching of the Chinese Normal School," only the good-natured Sima Shenxian still nodded and praised. "I think that the Chinese master has a deep relationship with my Daomen, and he must have also taught the scriptures of Rudaomen, right?"

"That nature, the Tao can be the way, not the constant way, the name can be named, the name is not constant, the nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; famous, the mother of all things; Therefore, there is no eternity, and I want to see its wonders; There is always there, and I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. Tianxing was greatly encouraged, shook his head and recited the Taoist classics.

"Poof" Wang Jiangnan couldn't help laughing, and everyone looked at her. "You've suffered a lot of boards for this, I count that there is a typo in your sentence"

"Which typo?" Tianxing humbly asks for advice.

"It's the way, it's the way, it's the way, it's famous, it's not the name, you mistake it for constant"

"Really?" Tianxing rolled his eyes, "Immortal Sima is here, do you say I made a mistake?" ”

"This..." Sima Immortal brushed his beard and groaned.

Wang Jiangnan was stunned, and looked at Dugu Zhen Daduhu, and Dugu Daduhu also made a contemplative state.

"That's what Huashi really taught you?" Zhong Licuo asked cautiously.

"Yes," Dugu Tianxing looked innocent, "I'm about to rot that booklet, it's just these few sentences, and then I heard people say that it's a way, a very way, could it be that the Chinese teacher fooled me?" ”

"Oh, did you bring any books?" Sima Shenxian asked.

"Yes," Tianxing took out a book from the leather bag of King Kong Bear, which was actually an ancient bamboo slip booklet.

Sima Chengzhen took the book, and Zhong Licuo and Duguzhen also came over to observe.

"Yes, it's actually the ancient book of the pre-Qin "Tao Te Ching" Sima Shenxian sighed for a long time, Duguzhen and Zhong Licuo nodded yes, Wang Jiangnan and Zheng Sui'er also went over to take a look, Zheng Sui'er could see a little way, Wang Jiangnan looked at the handwriting carved by the knife on it, his eyes were black, what kind of font is this?

"Looking at the shape of this bamboo slip, the lettering knife method is consistent with the production of the bamboo slips of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and it should be a genuine handiwork" Duguzhen stroked the bamboo slips with his hand.

"I heard that Dugu Daoyou has a special study of ancient texts, and it is true," Sect Master Sima praised.

Compared with Sima Shenxian, who is proficient in three fonts, Xiaodao'er "Duguzhen can't help but be complacent."

"I have heard for a long time that Sima Immortal has forgotten about it, and the world knows it. Those who are precious to man are born; Those who are born are noble, and the Tao is also. People have a way, like fish have water. Tianxing shook his head again and began to recite the book.

"I can't imagine that Hua Shi also taught you a poor and clumsy work" Sima Shenxian also began to be complacent, "No, Hua Shi's heir left the Central Plains in the holy year, and the clumsy work had not yet come out at that time?" ”

"You don't want me to study by myself, I am tireless in reading, although the teacher is not there, reading must not be broken"

"That's, Tianxing Xiaoyou is really a model for scholars" Sima Immortal began to wear a high hat again, "Wait, your book is taught by Huashi?" ”

"That's not it, Huashi read me a silk book, and this book is what I collected later."

"That's good, I don't know if Xiaoyou may cut his love and transfer?" Sima Chengzhen smiled and chanted, "Poor Dao loves to write since childhood, and is quite interested in calligraphy and handwriting in the world.

Dugu Tianxing slowly took the bamboo slip and slowly put it into Da Xiong's schoolbag, Wang Jiangnan looked at Sima Shenxian's eyes twitching, quite interesting.

"Sima Shenxian is interested in this book, you give it to the immortals, what does it mean to be this villain?" Duguzhen drank.

"I was originally going to give it to you as a congratulatory gift when you accepted me as your righteous son, but you decided to let me give it to Sect Master Sima at this time?" Dugu Tianxing looked at Dugu Zhen and said.

Duguzhen's eyelids also jumped a few times, "Since Sima Immortal loves it so much, you should be filial to the Immortal"

"Okay," Dugu Tianxing took out the bamboo slips again, the movement was a little big, and brought out another bamboo slip, Tianxing hurriedly stretched out his hand and held it, Zhong Liqiao was young, he had been paying attention to Tianxing's movements, his eyes were very sharp, and he actually saw the words "Lao Tzuhua" on the book.

Zhong Li staggered up three steps forward again, stretched out his hand to take the book, who is Tianxing, holding the schoolbag with one hand and blocking Zhong Li's arm with the other.

"Why is Zhongli Zhenren so anxious?" Tianxingpi didn't smile.

"I... I just want to see, can I see if the book Jane can give me a look? Zhong Li said.

"Ha, please sit down first, please return to your seat first" Tianxing said with a smile, sent Zhongli Zhenren back to his seat, and handed the bamboo slip of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching to Sect Master Sima Chengzhen.

Sect Master Sima Chengzhen held the bamboo slip in both hands, and chanted word by word, "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things, all things are negative yin and embrace yang, and the impulse is peaceful." ”

"Sima Shenxian, can you ask a word or two about this sentence?" Tianxing asked with a smile, looking at Zhongli on the side like a monkey jumping on his feet as if he were nothing.

"Hehe, Xiaoyou has a professor of Chinese Normal University, how can the poor road have a Chinese Normal University with profound knowledge? How dare you ask for advice? Sima Chengzhen's eyebrows and eyes were lined with a smile.

"My teacher is good for everything else, but what about his teaching methods? I don't dare to agree, except for beating and punishing, I only told me to memorize by rote, and never explained the meaning to me, I always memorized this paragraph wrongly, and I don't know how many boards I suffered."

Wang Jiangnan jumped out of the sense of existence again, "You are also stupid, how can you memorize such a simple few words?" ”

"Oh, then what I said just now is not the way of the constant Tao right or wrong?" Dugu Tianxing looked at Wang Xiaoniang with a mockery.

"By the way, Old Immortal Sima, is the sentence that Tianxing recited just now right or wrong? How is it different from what I learned at the Academy? ”

"Haha, it should all be right, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching was written in the pre-Qin period, the first emperor burned the book, the authenticity has been lost, and the current text is sorted out by the sage Wang Bi of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, in order to avoid the Han Heng Emperor to change the Heng Road as the usual way" Sima Shenxian is quite interested.

"Dugu Dadu Hu, this booklet is a true work of the pre-Qin Dynasty, a unique version in the world," Dugu Tianxing looked at Dugu Dadu Hu and sighed, "Originally, Dadu Hu had the opportunity to have this Dao Gate treasure."

Dugu has no other way than to drink tea.

"Poor Dao once again thanks to the layman for cutting love, my Maoshan Sect should be a guest of honor, and Maoshan should be treated as a guest" Sima Chengzhen immediately said.

"It's easy to say, although I have read through this volume, there are many unclear things I want to ask the immortals for" Dugu Tianxing hurriedly said, Sheng Sheng held back the Zhong Lichu who was about to speak.

"It's easy to say and easy to say, it just corroborates each other," Sima Chengzhen also Shi Shiran said.

"I know that there is a mantra in the family: when heaven and earth are first opened, everything is chaos, and it is infinite; Yin and Yang are combined, and the two qi of yin and yang generate all things for Taiji; Then this Tao gives birth to one, whether it is Wuji to give birth to Taiji, two is Yin and Yang and two qi, with this principle, that two give birth to three, three talents of heaven and earth, I Ching has a saying: Yi has Taiji, is to give birth to two yi, two yi to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip. Is there a difference between the three talents and the four elephants? ”

"It seems that Tianxing Xiaoyou is indeed studious, and the four elephants refer to the Oriental Green Dragon; Western White Tiger; Southern Vermilion; Northern Xuanwu, the three talents and four elephants have fingers and general fingers, and Xiaoyou don't have to be rigid," Sima Chengzhen explained with a smile.

"Haha, a child was stubborn, often argued with the Chinese teacher, the Chinese teacher always has to not laugh and silent, or stick to the stick, always said in the heart, there are thousands of people, the Tao has ten thousand laws, a certain bamboo slip day and night to figure out, one day remembered the scene of the endorsement when he was a child, often memorized: Tao, give birth to one one, give birth to two two, give birth to three three, give birth to all things, all things negative yin and hold yang, and now it is confirmed again, two two is four, is with the four images of the two yi and the four elephants, Sima Immortal thinks so?"

"You're talking nonsense again, what do you live like one life and two or two?" Dugu Zhen reprimanded.

"It's just an argument, you don't have to take it seriously, Lao Tzu said at the beginning: The Tao can be the Tao but not the constant Tao, if you want to see clearly, you must rely on the catastrophic lamp. Tianxing Xiaoyou is innovative, quite meaningful, the Tao has size, there is strength and softness, there is straightness, there is nothing, there is virtual reality, there are positive and negative, there are always, there are thousands of changes, the Tao is natural, but for thousands of years, it has been based on the Tao to give birth to one, one life to two, two to three, three to all things as a model, carefully speculated, mellow and mellow, it is really wonderful"

"There are clouds in the scriptures: there are things that are mixed, and they are born from nature. Lonely and liaoxi, independent and unchanging, circumferential and not dying, can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, but the word is the way. The Tao is born from nature, and the plan has questions: where was the Tao born? ”

"It seems that Xiaoyou does think a lot, the Tao is in nothing, the thing is nothing, the Tao, the nature of things, the Tao, the law of man, the law of the earth, the law of the earth, the law of the heaven, the law of the Tao, the Tao is natural, the Tao is natural." Old Immortal Sima pondered for a moment and explained.

"The Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and the people are great; There are four major domains, and people live in one of them; 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. With such four majors, how can people be compared with the Tao of Heaven and Earth? A certain thought should be: Dao, the great heaven, the earth, the great man, and the great domain, there are four major ones, and people live in one of them, Yan people, the law of the earth, the law of the heavens, the law of the Tao, and the law of nature. Do the gods think so? ”

"This..." The old fairy fell into deep thought again. And others are completely messy, what kind of rhythm is this? Have we been in the same room with the two Taoist masters all this time?

"Sima Immortal said that there is nothing in it, and there is nothing in things; There are clouds in the scriptures: whether there are any, it is difficult to grow together, it is short and short, it is high and low, it is inclined to the sound, it is before and after, and it is constant with it? The interpretation of this sentence should be that there is, there is nothing, there is nothing, and there is no mutual difficulty? ”

"Wait, this sentence should be: whether there is or not is born together, difficulty and ease are compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are inclined to each other, sound and sound are harmonious, before and after, Heng Ye," Duguzhen said while "How can you take it out of context?" ”

"Dugu Daduhu, have you seen Lao Tzu?" Dugu Tianxing was not afraid of Dugu Zhen, who was about to become his father-in-law, and squinted at Daduhu, "How do you know what he wants?" None, the beginning of the world; Yes, the mother of all things. All things in the world are born, in being, in being, in nothing. ”

"Xiaoyou, do you still have those questions" Sima Shenxian was not calm.

"Haha, I think about it on weekdays, but today I ask the last question: I have the Three Treasures, hold on to them; One is kindness, the second is thrifty, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness and courage; Thrifty can be wide, do not dare to be the first in the world, so can become a long. Whether these three jewels are kindness, frugality, or no, I have the three treasures, and I will keep them; One is compassion, the second is thrifty, and the third is no, dare to be the first in the world, and be kind and brave; Thrifty can be wide, and he does not dare to be the first in the world, so he can become a long, "Tianxing is not modest, and continues to test everyone's nerves."

Everyone died of arguing, and even the old immortals began to wonder if what Tianxing said was reasonable.

Tianxing sat down and drank tea, and everyone was confused, especially Wang Jiangnan grabbed his ears and cheeks, not knowing what he meant. Zheng Sui'er sighed and explained: "Tianxing's questions are actually asking: Where is the Tao born? Is there a Tao? The size of the Tao, what is the Tao? Nowadays, common sense: The Tao is born from the infinite, the Tao is born of being, there is no mutual existence, it is difficult and easy to achieve each other, and the stars believe that existence and non-existence cannot be born together. Everyone thinks that the Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big; There are four major domains, and people live in one of them; And the Celestial Star believes that the Tao, the Great Heaven, the Earth, the Great, and the Great Domain, there are four of them, and human beings live in one of them. ”

"Is this celestial star simply in tune?"

"But the interpretation of this thousand years is really Lao Tzu's original intention?"

“........”

"Actually, it's easy to explain, Lao Tzu said at the beginning, Dao Ke, Dao Fei, Heng Dao, Ming Ke, Ming Fei, Heng Ming? That is to say, whatever you say, you can say what you say, where the Tao is, whether you see it or not, the Tao is there, whether you read it or not, the Tao is there. "The stars are intoxicated" looking up at the starry sky, the stars are brilliant and the moon is in it; Looking at the sky again, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west; The way of watching people, everyone has their own home; The way to view the heavens is to do the best of its goodness. Secluded, deep. Husband? All things have their own destiny, and all living beings have their own destiny. Where does the Tao come from? Where do we come from? Who rules everything? What is truth? Where is the truth? ”

Everyone was silent, Sima Immortal was still messy in the size of the Dao, Zhong Li was thinking about the bamboo slips that glanced at him, licking his face and looking at Tianxing: "Tianxing monk, can you borrow the bamboo slips in the bag to have a look with me?" ”
