Chapter 6 Martial Arts
"Senior, please!" The old fox led the way in front and led Zhou Tong to a stone cave in the south of the valley.
The cave was large and wide, and it was evident that the foxes were dwelling, and when they entered, it was as if they had entered a temple.
There are many small holes in the walls of the cave, on which countless oil lamps are lit.
The material of these oil lamps is not simple, there is no smoke and no pungent smell when burning, but there is a kind of fragrance, and the light of the oil lamps is also very bright, even when the breeze blows, the fire does not shake.
On all sides of the cave, there are all kinds of wooden bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of books, all kinds of manuscripts, woodcuts, lithographs, rubbings, etc.
Around the walls, in addition to ten huge bookshelves, there were countless yellowed books in the corners.
The books in this stone room are conservatively estimated to be as many as 100,000 volumes.
Seeing Zhou Tong's eyes looking at those books, the old fox who led the way in front was even more faintly proud, and his beard was curled.
Zhou Tong felt a little funny when he looked at it, this old fox simply learned all the habits of human beings.
When many large families show off their book collections to others, they are probably in this mood!
Zhou Tong immediately approached these books, took a few and looked at them, most of these books were some Buddhist scriptures and other books, all of which were brought out by these foxes after the collapse of the Great Zen Temple.
Sure enough, when the old fox saw Zhou Tong flipping through these books, he began to explain the origin of these books.
"Alas, it's a pity that the thousand-year-old temple has always been bright, but because of the rebellion against the widows of the previous dynasty, it was finally burned." Speaking of the ending of the Great Zen Temple, the old fox also had some emotion.
Dazen Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, covering a huge area, the peak is extreme, legend has it that this temple every day to the Buddha, the Bodhisattva incense of the little monk to ride a horse to order over.
At the same time, this temple is also a holy place for martial arts, cultivation, and wealth.
"It's impossible to say what is going on, but the Daqian Dynasty's greed for the wealth and martial arts of the Great Chan Temple is true." Zhou Tong shook his head, this kind of place that has accumulated so much wealth will basically not be tolerated by any promising monarch, especially since the temple does not need to pay taxes.
"Senpai, Takami!" The old fox's eyes lit up and he nodded approvingly.
"There are so many books here, can I stay here a little longer?" Zhou Tong turned his head to look at the old fox and asked.
"Senior, even though you are reading here, all the tea and food supplies are served by the old man!" The old fox was very attentive, "As long as you can find time to point us out once in a while." ”
Based on Zhou Tong's previous words, the old fox basically confirmed that Zhou Tong had at least some knowledge and knowledge, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing.
Their pure fox clan has always only stolen the etiquette and words of the human race, but there are very few people who really communicate with the human race; Now there is such a person who is willing to live here for a while, and he can't ask for it.
"I have limited knowledge, and I haven't learned a lot of things myself, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you!" Zhou Tong shook his head.
He actually didn't know much about the knowledge and truths of this world, because since he came to this world, he had only obtained the memories of the disciples of the Jingyuan Temple, and all he knew was basically his knowledge.
Although many things are the same in terms of basic principles, some of the truths of the Heaven Covering World can actually be used in this Yang God World.
But before he really learned the truth and knowledge of this world, Zhou Tong was reluctant to say anything.
"Learning is endless, and there is a way that 'the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article'. Senior, you have crossed mountains and mountains all the way, and this life experience alone is far from being comparable to us mountain foxes. The old fox spoke.
"Life lessons...... It also depends on what kind of experience, if I understand the experience, it doesn't hurt to teach you. Zhou Tong pondered for a while, and then agreed, "Don't call me 'senior', I'm not very old, just call my name 'Zhou Tong'!" ”
As Zhou Tong spoke, his eyes continued to stare at the books on the shelves.
"Okay, then you can read a book here!"
"The old man is going to teach those children, if you want anything, just give me a command." The old fox saw that Zhou Tong was flipping through the books again, so he nodded, and finally spoke, and then went out to greet the other little foxes.
After the old fox left, Zhou Tong quickly looked at the bookshelf in the center, especially the two huge books in it, "Wujing" and "Daojing".
Both books are a large volume, and each one has dozens of thick volumes.
"The Past Mida Sutra is in the gap between the martial scriptures!" Zhou Tong pondered for a while, and directly flipped through the two scriptures.
"Wujing" and "Tao Jing" are the classics compiled by collecting books from all over the world at the beginning of the opening of the Daqian Dynasty. However, not long after the book was compiled, it was immediately regarded as a banned book by the Daqian Dynasty; At the same time, the "Martial Classics" and "Tao Classics" that were scattered among the people were collected and burned together, and anyone who found them in private possession was guilty of a felony.
However, there are many abridged places in the "Wujing" and "Tao Jing" of the Daqian Dynasty, and most of the things recorded in them are rough things.
But there are many things in it that Zhou Tong needs, he only has one "Moro God Hammer" when he comes to this world, and the rest of his knowledge of martial arts and Taoism is only obtained from the disciples of the Jingyuan Temple, he needs some other martial arts knowledge as a supplement, even if the "Martial Classics" and "Tao Classics" are all basic, it's okay.
Turning to the two classics, the book begins with a talk about the truth of martial arts and Taoism - crossing the sea.
The human world is a great sea of suffering, and the human body is the ship that crosses the sea, and the spirit is the person in the boat. Martial arts is to cultivate the physical body so that it can carry people across the sea; And the Taoist technique is to cultivate the divine soul, and even if the physical body decays, the people inside can swim by themselves, or even change boats.
Zhou Tong read it quickly, and after reading all these two scriptures, he suddenly had a new understanding of the martial arts and Taoism of this world.
"The martial arts are not much different from what I suspected, and there is no means to open the tricks that I really need; But for Taoism, there is a truly comprehensive and systematic understanding! Zhou Tong said secretly.
He did know some realms of Dao art from the original text, but the original text didn't write down all aspects of how to cultivate, so what Zhou told the Tao was only a rough idea, but he didn't understand the most basic things at all.
However, a copy of the "Tao Sutra" gave Zhou Tong a comprehensive understanding and cognition of Taoism, and knew many of its subtleties.
"Of course, this is the biggest takeaway!" Zhou Tong was holding an extremely thin dark gold, silk-like thing, which was the "Past Mida Sutra" hidden in the gap of the "Martial Scripture".
