The three of them shook their heads in unison, and their movements were neat.

But this can't be blamed on them, the scriptures handed down by our ancestors are really difficult to remember, the key is that the scriptures at that time were not punctuated, I added punctuation when I wrote it for the convenience of reading, in fact, when I was studying the Tao Te Ching, I learned a version without punctuation, and its content is not the same as the version I wrote.

"Tao Te Ching" has been handed down so far, in fact, it has undergone many revisions, several common versions and the original version are different in many contents, the version I memorize does not dare to say that it is the oldest version, it is said that the version is Xiaolongtan when the school was built, it is the biggest difference between it and other versions is that this version of the Tao Te Ching only has 80 chapters, and other versions generally have 81 chapters.

My version does not have a third chapter in other editions.

In the first few years, I also looked for other versions of the Tao Te Ching, and I did feel that the third chapter seemed particularly abrupt in the whole scripture, as if it was deliberately added by later generations. Those who are interested can check out the Tao Te Ching, and you will surely find out how spooky this chapter is.

Since the three elders couldn't memorize the scriptures, I had no choice but to teach them over and over again until the three of them were able to memorize the scriptures together, and I let out a sigh of relief and told them that it was time for me to go.

In fact, what they remember is not the Chinese version of English, but my understanding of this scripture after it is translated into English, because what I say reaches their ears, and what they hear is the meaning of my heart.

But even if I tell them what I understand, they may not understand this passage.

Does it feel particularly winding?

No way, the fact is like this, the "Tao Te Ching" is broad and profound, it doesn't mean that you can read a few verses and listen to a few explanations from others, you can understand it thoroughly, if you want to eat it thoroughly, you must spend a lifetime of experience to understand and experience.

My master, if I suddenly return to the light in the moment before I die, and find that I have understood the Tao Te Ching, then I will be half a saint.

Some people say that the classics handed down by our ancestors are too obscure, but they are not obscure, but too deep in knowledge.

Norbu, Jordan, and Norbu checked each other's written scriptures, and then they heard Norb ask, "What does this verse mean?" ”

I smiled, "You can realize it for yourselves." Hey, tell me, what do you realize now? ”

Nobu took a moment to ponder, and then responded, "Everything in this world comes into being from nothing, and nothing is the origin, and existence is the origin. ”

The fact that he was able to respond like this at least shows that he didn't understand it.

I nodded: "Let's continue along this line of thought." ”

Norbu frowned slightly: "Does this scripture really contain new beliefs, but the previous beliefs were directly instilled in us by the old gods, and he made all the details very clear, but the new beliefs, why are we still able to rely on ourselves to understand?" ”

I asked Norbu, "Who needs faith, you or me?" ”

"We need it."

"Since it is what you need, then you need to find it yourself, to understand, and not to always think about taking ready-made products from others."

"But how do I feel, it's like...... Let's make up a new faith ourselves. ”

"You're right, but not entirely. Not to make it up, but to learn from the scriptures, a good faith must have a strong inclusiveness and adaptability, and the new faith I bring will be compatible with your old beliefs, as well as your community ecology and social structure. But I am not familiar with your old beliefs, nor do I know much about your community ecology, so it is up to you to combine the new faith with the old faith and make it more suitable for your race. That's why I only give you the scriptures, not the fixed dogma. ”

It took a moment for Nobu to comprehend what I meant, and for a moment, his eyes widened in surprise, "I understand." ”

Got it? It's good to get it.

It just so happened that my physical strength was almost recovered, so I patted my ass and stood up: "Okay, I still have some things to deal with outside, go first." ”

With that, I picked up the body of the King in Yellow and prepared to leave.

Before I could take a few steps, Nobu stopped me: "You can't go out like this. ”

I knew what he was worried about: "Don't worry, no one will see me." ”

Nobu spoke again: "The old gods are dead, what about the demons at the bottom of the sea?" ”

Is there really a demon under the sea?

It's hard to say.

In order to control the inhabitants of this level, it is indeed possible that the king in yellow may have concocted the mythical stories on the murals, maybe there are no sea snakes at all, and there is no battle between gods and demons, but I have dive into the living well, and I did find that there is something hidden under the water, and it is difficult to conclude whether that thing is a demon on the mural or not.

I raised a hand and patted Norbu on the shoulder: "I'll come back and deal with it later." ”

As soon as I said that, I used a concealment technique to hide my body, and the body of the King in Yellow was also hidden.

Norbu stared at where I had just stood, and his mouth opened wide in shock.

I smiled inwardly, didn't linger any longer, and immediately pushed open the door and left the pillar.

When I just carried the king in yellow, my posture was called a straight-chested and light-hearted step, but after a short walk, I was almost crushed by it.

In the eyes of the three of them, I am a saint after all, and when facing them, I must hold myself, and I can not embellish my words too much, but my behavior must be clean and free.

Hey, to put it bluntly, it's a fork.

To be honest, I hate the word "fork", but sometimes you don't have a choice, and you still have to pretend.

The sage said that those who pretend to be forks will be struck by lightning. This is not false at all, but if you pretend, you will have to pay the price, I will pay the price now, just now I forced this extremely tired body to pose, resulting in the already small physical strength was seriously consumed, and now I am out of breath, I can't wait for my legs to be weak, and lie directly on the ground.

What's even worse is that I walked the main road, and at this time the main road is full of people, if you are not careful not to drive pedestrians, your whereabouts will definitely be exposed, and the key is to expose your whereabouts.

In desperation, I could only bracing up my strength, and it was not until I walked up the stone steps leading to the upper world that I sat down and took a few breaths.

This break lasted for more than an hour, and when my strength was almost restored, I dragged the body of the King in Yellow to continue to climb up, and at that time I really couldn't spare any other strength, so I didn't perform the concealment technique.

When I dragged the corpse back to the second basement floor, I found that the white worm was sitting at the top of the stairs waiting for me.
