Huang Shaohong listened to the old man's words: "Good governance of water, water conservancy and tranquility of all things!" I couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't want to greet him first, so he asked: "Uncle, shouldn't you say, 'Kindness is like water, and water benefits all things without fighting'?" ”

The old man put down the bamboo slips and turned around from the low couch, not surprised that there was suddenly another person in the hiding room, but asked directly: "How is water good?" ”

Huang Shaohong looked at the crane-haired and childish old man in front of him, with long ears and big eyes, and a charitable face, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.

However, this is not that Huang Shaohong, the great martial arts master, is useless, but that the identity of the person in front of him is too respectful, you just let the ancestors of Daomen like Zhang Sanfeng, Lu Dongbin, and Wang Chongyang see him, and they are just as nervous, even if they kowtow directly, it is very likely.

And when Huang Shaohong was in Wudang Mountain, he still wore incense three times a day to other people's gods.

With Huang Shaohong's cultivation of the national art that is not bad, he calmed down his mood in an instant, his heartbeat and emotions returned to normal, and he immediately took out what he learned in the Dragon and Snake World, when he read the scriptures in Wudang Zixiao Palace, he said:

"The model of good behavior is like water, good at guiding all things without fighting with them, and staying in a low place that everyone does not want to be, so it is close to the Tao."

Seeing that he calmed down instantly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and when he heard what he said, he smiled and asked: "There is turbid and evil water, and there is also water of calamity, how can it be called 'good'?" Streams flow into rivers, and rivers flow into the sea, how can they not fight? ”

"This ......"

When the old man saw that he couldn't fight, he smiled and said: "The good should control the water, remove the turbidity and keep it clear, and the water should benefit all things, and it should calm down the surging and quiet, so as not to be a disaster, do you think so?" ”

The more Huang Shaohong listened, the more reasonable he became, but it was difficult for him to agree, what the old man said was contradicted by what he had learned, I really wanted to say something, I was talking about your theory.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, are he stupid, what he saw in Zixiao Palace is only the Taoist classics of the past dynasties, and this is the deity of the person who wrote the book, naturally they are right.

Immediately, he suddenly brightened up, and said with a wry smile: "The old man is reasonable!" ”

The old man blew his beard and smiled bitterly: "I am seventy years old this year, although I am wasted, I can't afford to be the little brother!" ”

"Ah......?"

Huang Shaohong really wanted to say, it's a bit nonsense for your old man to say this, but in front of him, he felt that if he really said it, it would inevitably insult the sage, and he didn't know what to say immediately.

However, the old man said that he was seventy out of thirty, but he didn't believe it, just looking at the forehead that was bigger, he said that the Antarctic immortal Weng also had the appearance of someone who believed it, how could it be less than seventy years old!

Didn't you hear it wrong, people said that there are three out of seventy?

He didn't speak, but his expression of utter disbelief was unmistakable.

The old man sat down and said, "Sit!" ”

The storage room is simple, only a low couch in front of the window, the old man sits half, and there is not much place left for Huang Shaohong.

However, Huang Shaohong didn't care at all, nodded, and sat cross-legged on the low couch.

The old man smiled and said: "I don't blame you for calling it wrong, I was born with such a look, born and aging, so I was named 'Lao Tzu' by my mother, and the little brother can call me Li Er, or call my word 'Boyang'." ”

Huang Shaohong used the power of time to find this paragraph that Lao Tzu said in the long river of time, and immediately couldn't help but say, he had heard that Lao Tzu was born and looked old, so the legend of the name, originally thought it was just a legend, and it was false, but he didn't expect it to be true.

He heard Lao Tzu let him call his word 'Boyang', and his heart said how dare he do this, and hurriedly said:

"That's very good, little brother Huang Shaohong, if you see Brother Boyang, you can call me Shaohong!"

Lao Tzu laughed: "Okay, good, the Tibetan room is simple, there is no refreshment to entertain guests, you and I take advantage of this spring rain to sit and talk about it!" ”

The so-called spring rain moistens all things, a continuous spring rain, not only can nourish all things, but also make people happy, so Lao Tzu regards the spring rain as a happy event, and wants to talk to Huang Shaohong with the joy of his heart.

Huang Shaohong understood the meaning of Lao Tzu's words, that is, being idle on a rainy day is idle, what else can he do besides Kan Dashan.

In the face of Lao Tzu's invitation, he was naturally overjoyed, looking at the Chinese civilization for thousands of years, how many people can have this opportunity to discuss with Taishang.

He hurriedly said: "Brother Boyang, stay less, I'll go back when I go!" ”

After speaking, he didn't hide it, and disappeared directly with his space-time ability, and when he reappeared the next moment, he already had an extra food box in his hand, and after opening it, there were a few dishes and a bottle of good wine in it.

The dishes are 'clear soup fish balls', 'spiced peanuts', 'West Lake vinegar fish', 'Hangju shredded chicken', 'Longjing shrimp'.

The wine is not the modern Moutai and Wuliangye, but the tribute wine he put in his bag from the 'Luding World', so that the prescription issued by the Tai Hospital is equipped with dozens of medicinal materials, which can be drunk to warm and replenish the vitality, and drinking for a long time can make the body strong and healthy.

Lao Tzu saw Huang Shaohong disappear and reappear, and he didn't have a surprised expression, but when he saw the dishes and drinks, his face showed joy, and he hurriedly came to help.

The two put the wine and food on the table, and Lao Tzu laughed: "I have a good day today!" After speaking, he was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of fish, and then hurriedly got another glass of medicinal wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Good food, good wine!"

I only had time to admire, so I let go of my cheeks, and my white beard was stained with oil, and I didn't care at all.

Huang Shaohong was dumbfounded, and secretly guessed that he wouldn't be in the wrong place, was this the old naughty boy of the Quanzhen Sect, or Hong Qigong of the Beggar Gang? It's not like pretending to be Lao Tzu to deceive yourself.

Hurriedly checked it in the long river of time and confirmed that it was correct, this is the Taoist patriarch, Lao Tzu Li Er is undoubted, and immediately smacked his tongue in his heart, how long has it been since he had eaten meat!

Huang Shaohong saw that Lao Tzu was eating sweetly, and he was a little hungry, so he immediately picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat together, when he saw Lao Tzu drink another glass of wine and smoothed out, and said:

"Wait, Shaohong's previous sentence is as good as water, although it is inappropriate, but there is some truth, I don't know what Shaohong has any opinions about this world, you might as well say it and I will discuss it."

After he finished speaking, he took the chopsticks and ate them in large pieces.

Huang Shaohong came here not only to see the Taishang Buddha, but also to ask for advice, especially when he read so many Taoist scriptures in Zixiao Palace on Wudang Mountain, he was just looking for something to understand.

He immediately started with the 'Tao Te Ching', but he just said, 'The Tao is the Tao, the Tao is very Tao, and the name is very famous!' He was interrupted by Lao Tzu.

"Who said that?"

Huang Shaohong sneered: "Isn't this what you said, Brother Boyang? ”

Lao Tzu shook his head: "I didn't say this?" ”

"Ah......?"

Huang Shaohong said in his heart that it is impossible, could it be that Lao Tzu has not realized the 'Tao and Virtue' at this time.

But listening to Lao Tzu's next words, Huang Shaohong felt that he was even more confused, so he listened to the other party say:

"However, over the years, my brother has taken advantage of the Tibetan room to watch the "Three Tombs", "Five Classics", "Eight Suo", and "Nine Hills" recorded by the ancient sages, and watched the stars and the universe change, and realized the opportunity of nature, and realized the two ......articles of "virtue and Tao" in my heart."

"One of the sentences is similar to Shaohong's sentence, which is 'Tao can be Tao, non-constant Tao, name can be named, non-constant name is also'"

Listening to Lao Tzu's words, Huang Shaohong was completely stunned, how could this be?

The difference between the word "constant" and "constant" is a thousand miles of error!

Originally, the interpretation of the sentence 'Tao is Tao, not the Tao' should be, 'The Tao that can be said is not the way of natural immortality'.

Now I hear another version from Lao Tzu's mouth, replacing 'Chang' with 'Heng', this explanation has changed, and it can also be interpreted as:

The Word can be spoken, but the Word is not eternal! ’

According to this explanation, it is simply subverting the fundamental cognition of Taoism in later generations!

Huang Shaohong was surprised, regardless of whether he could change history, and directly memorized the "Tao Te Ching" he had learned, but Lao Tzu took this opportunity to sweep away a few dishes and a pot of wine, and then put down the chopsticks with satisfaction, and said with a satisfied smile:

"It's okay, what, Shaohong, you say it again!"

“......”

Huang Shaohong looked at the five dishes, there was no soup left, the plate was the same as the washed, and asked uncertainly: "Brother Boyang, you didn't just deliberately let me say it, and then take the opportunity to eat all the dishes, right?" ”

Lao Tzu sneered: "How come, how come, what Shaohong said just now seems to contain the truth of heaven and earth, you say it again, think carefully for your brother!" ”

Huang Shaohong couldn't memorize the full text of the Tao Te Ching again.

Lao Tzu's face showed a look of surprise: "It's really strange, what Shaohong said is very similar to the two articles of 'virtue and Tao' that he realized for his brother, but the meaning is very different, and there are many fallacies, which seem to be tampered with and transformed from these two articles for ...... brother."

"But Brother Ke has never told anyone about it, and he has not written a simple book, how is this possible...... Anyway, as a brother, I will know the two articles of 'virtue and Tao' with Shaohong, so that you can compare them! ”

Lao Tzu immediately sat upright on the low couch, his mouth was depressed, and he told what he had realized in his heart.

With Lao Tzu's words, the continuous spring rain outside gradually stopped, the clouds dispersed, the sun shone, and the purple air rose at a height of thousands of meters.

Hundreds of birds of all kinds flew out of nowhere, and they all landed in the courtyard outside the window, surprisingly not making any birdsong sounds, but silently as if listening to something.

Huang Shaohong didn't notice the vision outside the window, because he was subverted by Lao Tzu's "Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism" for many years, and he was shocked beyond measure.

Lao Tzu's "Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism" is undoubtedly the "Tao Te Ching" of later generations, but the differences in it are unknown, and even fundamentally subvert the Taoist thinking of later generations.

For example, in the "Tao Te Ching" known to Huang Shaohong, it expounds the principle of heaven and earth, 'Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things.' ’

In Lao Tzu's "Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism", it is 'all things have a way, the Tao gives birth to one, one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, and all things give birth to the Tao.' ’

According to the meaning of the former, 'the Tao is high and unique, and the Tao itself contains the two qi of yin and yang, and the two qi of yin and yang intersect to form a state of uniformity, in which all things arise. ’

In Lao Tzu's mouth, this sentence has undergone a fundamental change, first of all, it is clarified that "the Tao is not unique, all things have a Tao, the Tao gives birth to one, a division of yin and yang, the derivation of all things, the interconnection between all things, the law of change, and the derivation of the Tao." ’

This sentence echoes the previous sentence 'Tao can be Tao, non-constant Tao', both of which are expounds, and 'Tao' is not immutable, but changes with the changes of all things.

Huang Shaohong pinched himself from time to time, he couldn't believe his ears, everything he heard now proved that in the past thousands of years, the "Tao Te Ching" that Taoism has enshrined as the golden rule is wrong, it is not Lao Tzu's original intention, and it is not the same, it has been tampered with!

This is how the exposition of the supreme principle of heaven and earth is like this, and the same is true for those who talk about self-cultivation and cultivation of gods, such as the most famous sentence:

'To the extreme, keep quiet. All things work together, and I look at it. There are many things and things, and each one returns to its roots. In the end, it is quiet. Jing said that he was restored. ’

This is the foundation of Taoism and martial arts in later generations, whether it is the various exercises of Taoism or the various internal skills of martial artists, they are all based on this as the highest mental method, and it is the foundation of cultivation in later generations.

But in fact, Lao Tzu's original words are 'to be virtual, extreme, to keep feelings, and to be expressed.' All things are made aside, and I watch them recover. Husbands and things are cloudy, and each returns to its roots, and returns to the roots. ”

This is funny, the former makes people stay 'quiet' to the extreme, which means that when you meditate, your mind is quiet to the extreme, and there is no emotion.

And Lao Tzu's meaning is not like this at all, you should 'keep the feelings', when you cultivate, you have feelings for all things in the world, because all things are the Tao, and having feelings for the Tao is the foundation of self-cultivation, otherwise how is it different from dead wood?

Keep the feelings, and the love is called revenge!

The way to immortality lies in love!!

Huang Shaohong simply felt that this was a joke, and there were more than these changes in the Tao Te Ching in later generations.

In addition to these fundamentals, such as the views expounded in the "Tao Te Ching" in later generations, 'no desire', 'no action', and 'no dispute', were all denied by Lao Tzu one by one, and these are not what I said.

The famous phrase 'five colors make people blind' turned out to be 'five colors make people blind', which means the exact opposite.

After Lao Tzu finished talking about his 'Two Chapters of Virtue and Taoism', Huang Shaohong found that there were no less than hundreds of people who had been corrected in the "Tao Te Ching" in later generations!

Huang Shaohong couldn't hold it back, and immediately said: "Brother Boyang, stay a little longer!" ”

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and threw all his mind into the river of time, and went down the river to find out.

From Lao Tzu out of Xiguan to meet Mr. Wenshi Yin Xi, leaving the 'two articles of virtue and Taoism', after the investigation of the future, it was found that since the late Warring States period, Confucianism began to tamper with the spread of the 'two articles of virtue and Taoism' and put the Tao before virtue, which is commonly known as the "Tao Te Ching" for the world.

On the question of this name, Huang Shaohong asked Lao Tzu just now, and Lao Tzu said: "People have no virtue, how can they speak the Tao, they can only see the Tao when they are virtuous first!" ”

In addition to the falsification of Confucianism, in the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the names of the five emperors of Liu Bang, Liu Heng, Liu Qi, Liu Wei and Liu Fu, the "state" in the full text was changed to "country", "heng" was changed to "chang", "qi" was changed to "open", "勶" was changed to "tho", and "fu" was changed to "no".

This evasion has led to a full hundred major changes in the 'Second Essay on Virtue', and the 'Second Essay on Virtue' has changed beyond recognition.

From the Warring States period to the Later Han Dynasty, Confucianism in successive dynasties tampered with the Tao Te Ching into a classic that was close to and in line with Confucianism.

Lao Tzu admired the natural way of heaven, the unity of heaven and man, full of free and unrestrained, free and easy thoughts, and put on the shackles of 'etiquette'.

Huang Shaohong saw this situation in the long river of time, and his heart was full of anger, and he was about to enter the long river of time in the flesh to kill all these people who tampered with the 'Second Chapter of Virtue and Taoism', so as to change history.

Suddenly, a hand slapped him on the shoulder, and then Lao Tzu's voice came: "Everything changes are 'Tao', and there is a fixed number, don't worry about it!" ”

Huang Shaohong opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of shock: "Brother Boyang, you ......"

Lao Tzu smiled: "I am in Yin and Yang, in combination with the number of techniques, and my thoughts are close to the Tao, what you see in front of me, I can also see it, but I can't go!" ”
