In the late autumn green mountains, in the afternoon, the sun has long been covered by thick clouds, and there is no trace of sunlight in sight.

Except for the green pines, there are towering trees without leaves.

The gloomy weather and the occasional mountain breeze made Xiaoyue feel that the green mountains were cold and irresistible.

When Xiao Yue walked to the door of the Taoist temple, she found that Yuan Chenhao and they were already waiting here.

After meeting, they didn't say much, and the group walked towards the mountainside and towards the herb house where the dustless Taoist chief lived.

This time, Yuan Chenhao did not leave her and walked in front with the other two, but slowed down and stayed by her side.

Xing Xiaoyu and Xiao Wuyi walked near them one after another, but Xing Xiaoyu still glanced back at Xiao Yue meaningfully.

Xiao Yue was a little panicked, she said to Yuan Chenhao: "Master, otherwise you go first, I'll follow slowly, it's not so hard to go down the mountain." ”

Yuan Chenhao shook his head, "Don't worry, it's not far." ”

As soon as he walked to the tuyere, he could feel the mountain wind blowing head-on, and Satsuki lowered her head and avoided the wind.

Unconsciously, Yuan Chenhao had already rushed in front of her and helped her block the cold wind.

Xiao Yue just wanted to thank her, but she didn't think that Yuan Chen Hao would speak first.

"Have you forgotten something?"

Monk Satsuki Erzhang was confused, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Chen Hao said without looking back: "You borrowed something from me, it seems that you forgot to pay it back." ”

"Something?" Satsuki thought for a long time without remembering, "What is it?"

Yuan Chenhao turned his head to look at her, and then said, "A book." ”

Xiao Yue reacted to this, it turned out that Yuan Chenhao had not forgotten to borrow her "On the Dao".

"Oh, remember. Do you need it, sir? I'll give it back to you when I get back. ”

Xiao Yue thought to herself that she had already copied a copy anyway, and she wanted to find out the source of the paper this time, and return the book to him.

Yuan Chenhao suddenly stopped and walked side by side with Xiao Yue.

"You've been watching it for so long, what do you think?"

Xiao Yue sneered: "What's the experience of that, it's just a casual look." ”

Yuan Chenhao asked puzzledly: "This book is not something that ordinary people can understand, you have read it for so long, don't you have anything to ask me?"

"This... Satsuki suddenly realized that she had missed some important clues.

Although Yuan Chenhao said that he did not specifically study "On the Dao", but after all, the education he received since he was a child is not comparable to ordinary people, maybe he can tell himself some useful information.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yue had a plan, so she said: "That book is nothing more than teaching people how to cultivate themselves, I read it for a few days and put it aside, but I forgot to return it to the master, I really can't help it." ”

"Self-cultivation?" Yuan Chenhao looked at her with wide eyes.

Xiao Yue remembered that when she was studying ancient Chinese philosophy in the past, the teacher seemed to say in passing, that many of the books and terms of the ancients have been lost, so there are often many different translations of a book, and the so-called different people will have different interpretations when they read the same book.

And Wen Youyou told her that "On the Dao" is the root of the country's imperial statecraft, and she didn't want to touch the content of governing the country, so she wanted to use another explanation to test Yuan Chenhao, but she didn't expect him to react very strongly.

"You... Yuan Chenhao was already a little incoherent, after all, he thought in his heart that Xiao Yue was also a genius, how could he not even understand the truth contained in "On the Dao", "Are you joking with me?"

Xiao Yue said seriously: "Where is there a joke... She thought for a moment and then said, "I remember that it was mentioned in the book that truth, goodness and beauty, isn't this the highest requirement for a person?"

Yuan Chenhao sighed, "You can't generalize, isn't the requirement for self-cultivation in this book the basic requirement for the emperor?"

Satsuki shook her head, "Everyone in the world is like this. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Chenhao asked curiously, "You think so?"

Xiao Yue looked at his face and found that he was not angry, so he plucked up his courage and said, "Actually, I think this book is written about universal values, not for someone. ”

"Tell me what you think. Yuan Chenhao said lightly.

Turning a mountain col, Xiao Yue saw a flat dam not far away, she guessed that it was not far from the herb house, and thought about how to make Yuan Chenhao speak.

"Listening to the master's tone, it seems that he disagrees with my point of view, then may I ask the master, who wrote this book and why?"

Unexpectedly, this question was not a problem for Yuan Chenhao at all, and he said without thinking: "This book is written by the Taoist Taoist ancestor Lao Dan. According to Taoism, Lao Dan is a god who teaches the teachings of Taoism to mortals and uses them to govern the country. ”

Hearing the word "god", Xiao Yue was blinded.

Generally speaking, if it is a myth or legend, then this era is far away, and it is really difficult for her to find people and things many years ago.

However, Satsuki was such an easy person to give up, and she asked, "If it's a god, why did you borrow my book from the original?

Yuan Chenhao looked at her anxious appearance, a little funny, "The Taoist text used by the gods is incomprehensible to ordinary mortals, and that book is not written by Lao Dan himself, but by his personal disciple." ”

"Then how can this man use sermons?"

Yuan Chenhao was even more strange when he saw her so unrelenting, and he asked rhetorically, "Then why do you recognize Daowen?"

"This... Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment.

Yuan Chenhao continued: "The Taoist text of Taoism is a sect secret, and it is also passed down by Taoist ancestors, and only Taoists recognize it. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yue hurriedly said, "It was Wen Youyou who taught me." ”

Yuan Chenhao's face changed color instantly, and he didn't know whether he was angry or angry, he turned his head and walked forward.

Satsuki didn't know how to offend him again, but she hadn't finished asking her questions, so she had to trot to catch up with him.

"Sir... ”

Yuan Chenhao didn't respond, just walked silently.

Xiao Yue said timidly: "Actually, I don't know much of the sermon, so I don't fully understand it, and I ask the master to teach me." ”

Yuan Chenhao sneered: "Let's let Master Wen teach you." ”

Satsuki muttered, "Stingy." ”

Unexpectedly, he heard it, and he said angrily: "You can't learn Taoism without entering the Taoist family, didn't he tell you this?"

Xiao Yue was taken aback when she heard this, and she suddenly remembered Wen Youyou's warning before, telling her not to be known, she knew about Daowen.

So, she had to pretend to be stupid, "Maybe he said it, I don't remember." ”

"Hmph," Yuan Chenhao was still puzzled, "If you learned the fur in the official academy, I won't say anything about you, but you actually learned Taoism from Wen Youyou, do you know how serious this matter is! If the master knows, he will be scolded again." ”

Xiao Yue listened to his tone a little softened, and said with a smile: "The master will help me hide it, anyway, no second person knows." ”

Yuan Chenhao glared at her, "Isn't Wen Youyou the second person?"
