Chapter 3: The True Book of the Tao Sutra

"Sure enough, the poem you just wrote was plagiarized! I can't even memorize the Taoist scriptures, and what kind of poems you talk about in eight steps is all a lie!"

Zhao Zihao suddenly became more confident, pointed at Yi Chen's nose, and scolded.

"The Tao Sutra is the king of all scriptures, you are reciting it indiscriminately, this is blaspheming the ancient sages and saints!" Li Shouyi reprimanded even more angrily.

He is an old pedant who follows the rules, and hates people who are deviant and unruly.

"It's you who have recited the wrong scriptures!" Yi Chen sneered.

This volume of scriptures was originally brought to the Xuanhuang World by him in his previous life 100,000 years ago.

He is the ancient sage who taught the scriptures to hundreds of millions of living beings!

In this world, there is no one who knows the Tao Sutra better than him!

"What did you say?" Li Shouyi scolded.

"I said you don't know the real Tao at all!"

Yi Chen put his hands on his back and walked leisurely in front of everyone.

With each step, he sang a verse.

It is very similar to the Taoist scriptures that everyone has memorized since childhood, but there are many differences, and there is a bit of ancient and distant historical atmosphere.

"The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful. The way of the saint is indisputable. ”

In less than a few minutes, Yi Chen had finished reciting the entire volume of the Taoist Sutra.

Loud and vast, like the ancient sages, teaching the truth to all beings!

"This is the real Tao!"

Yi Chen looked at everyone indifferently.

The scriptures that were handed down by him were tampered with by this group of mortals, and they were simply tyrannical!

Silent!

It's as dead silent.

The students of Yunshan Academy were almost stunned in place, and they didn't speak for a long time!

The Taoist scriptures recited by Yi Chen are obviously very different from the Taoist scriptures that everyone has learned since childhood.

But in their ears, there is an inexplicable sacredness and wisdom.

Even, let them feel that they are learning the wrong version.

"What are you backing? There are many typos, and you are laughing to death!" Zhao Zihao took the lead in scolding.

As soon as these words came out, many people reacted instantly.

That's right, no matter how right or wrong the Taoist scripture just now, but the person who recites it is Yi Chen!

That's that guy, who doesn't have a few drops of ink in his stomach, can understand a fart!

"Hehe, even the Taoist scriptures will be memorized wrongly, what an illiterate waste!"

"Is it still the real Taoist scriptures? Could it be that what we read since childhood are all false Taoist scriptures?"

"What real Taoist scriptures are simply talking nonsense and blaspheming the sages!"

......

The students laughed.

Anyone can memorize the Tao Sutra, and it has already been ripe.

Even if he was wrong, he actually said that what he memorized was the real Taoist scripture, and everyone else was wrong.

Isn't that a big joke?

A waste who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he really thinks of himself as a great Confucian saint. !

"'Extraordinary Dao' has been memorized as 'Non-Heng Dao', and a lot of 'also' words have been added inexplicably. It seems that we are overestimating him. A student who can even memorize the Tao Sutra incorrectly, it is estimated that the verses just now are not plagiarized from somewhere. ”

The young man in the box shook his head in disappointment.

However, the old man's fingers trembled, and his eyes widened in shock—"He—how did he know?"

"Know what?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and asked with some puzzlement.

"The Tao is also the Tao, and the Tao is not the constant Tao. This is the original text of the ancient text of the Tao Sutra!" the old man said in a heavy tone.

"What?"

The young man screamed in fright and almost fell to the ground.

The Tao Sutra is the enlightenment scripture, the king of all scriptures, and since ancient times, it has been a scripture that every reader must memorize.

In their hearts, this book, like the Bible on earth, is an existence that cannot be blasphemed.

But now, Cheng Muming, a giant in the academic world, says that the scriptures are wrong.

How shocking is that?

Not only the academic community, but I am afraid that the entire imperial court will be shaken by it!

The old man nodded helplessly, and in the shocked eyes of the young man, he walked out of the box step by step and walked in front of everyone.

"Lao Yu and the eight scholars, as well as the Guozi Supervisor Sacrificial Wine, the Qintian Supervisor and the Eunuch, the Wuhou National Teacher, the Great Historian and others, argued for three years before they finally confirmed one thing yesterday!"

"Our dynasty has been founded for more than 8,000 years, but in the Great Shang Dynasty 10,000 years ago, in order to avoid Shang Heng, the ancestor emperor of the Great Shang, the imperial court ordered the word 'Heng' in all Taoist scriptures to be changed to the word 'Chang'. ”

The old man sighed, "Therefore, the original text of the Tao Sutra should be 'Non-Heng Dao'." ”

"As for the word 'also' at the end of the sentence, it should be the habit of the ancient sages. Even many great Confucians know this very little. ”

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, not only to the people in Yunshan Academy, but also to the young people in the box, and said slowly.

"So, it's not the student who is wrong, it's us!"

"What did you just say? You have been arguing with the eight scholars, the Guozi Priest, the Qintian Supervisor, the Wuhou National Teacher, and the Great Historian for three years?"

Li Shouyi wanted to scold the old man in front of him, but what he said was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he was stunned by the teacher of Yunshan Academy.

Scholar of the Hanlin Academy, Guozi Priest Wine, Qintian Supervisor, Wuhou National Teacher, Great Historian?

This one of them is a famous person in the academic world and the imperial court!

Any one of them is enough for the dean of Yunshan Academy to go thirty miles out of the city to greet him, not to mention him, a small academy teacher.

The old man smiled and nodded.

"Dare to ask the old gentleman's surname?"

Li Shouyi's voice was trembling, and his legs were trembling.

It's like a crazy star-chaser, and I saw the idol in my heart with my own eyes.

Excited, shocked, but unbelievable!

The old man smiled indifferently, "Don't have your surname Cheng!"

Airplanes!

This sentence, just four words, made Li Shouyi feel like he had been struck by lightning.

The eyes went blank and the whole head was buzzing.

Journey!

Journey!

Could he be?

Lin Tiancheng on the side seemed to understand something, his body trembled slightly, and he quietly retreated step by step.

For fear that the old man in front of him would investigate his gaffe just now.

"Which Cheng is the surname? You old man is really good at bragging, don't you still want to say that you are Cheng Muming's Cheng?"

Zhao Zihao laughed, but the more he laughed, the quieter he became.

Because he found that the eyes around him were focused on him.

A pair of eyes, as if they were retarded, were staring at him.

"Unfortunately, the old man is really Cheng Muming's Cheng! This little friend, if you are free in the future, you can go to my mansion and sit down. ”

The old man patted Yi Chen's shoulder, turned around and returned to the box, leaving a group of stunned academy students.

Syllable!

slapped him hard and suddenly slapped Zhao Zihao's face.

It's Li Shouyi.

The force was so strong that half of his face was red, and it hurt hotly.

"Teacher, why are you beating me? Isn't it just an old man surnamed Cheng?" Zhao Zihao asked muleng.
