Chapter 176: The Holy Book of the Dao
Su Yi began to carefully recall what she had learned in her life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lao Tzu's surname is Li Ming'er, is the founder of Taoism, advocates the rule of inaction, Taoism is natural, his book "Tao Te Ching" has a very far-reaching influence on later philosophy, is respected as the "ancestor of philosophy"; according to historical records, Lao Tzu lived more than 160 years old, and there are many times in his life to travel around the world, study and preach experience, but to talk about the 'westward journey', it must refer to the last westward journey of Lao Tzu in his later years, in the legend of the book "Tao Te Ching". ”
"Historical Records" records: Lao Tzu is moral, and his learning is self-concealed. After living in Zhou for a long time, seeing the decline of Zhou, he went away. At the end of the pass, Guan Ling Yin Xi said: 'The son will be hidden and write a book for me. So Lao Tzu wrote the first and second chapters of the book, saying more than 5,000 words about morality, and he didn't know what it would end up with. At that time, Lao Tzu saw the decay and decay of the Zhou Dynasty, decided to resign and leave, and after arriving at the checkpoint, he and the chief Yin Xi of the pass were mutual bosom friends, and spent a few days writing the first "Tao Jing" and the next "Tao Te Ching", before the "Tao Te Ching" came out. ”
"Because at that time, Lao Tzu rode the green ox westward alone, left the Zhou Dynasty, and disappeared after leaving the customs, but at that time, the local residents passed through the place, the local residents have word of mouth, although the record is very small, but also left some historical materials, which can be cited by me. ”
According to historical records, in the second year of King Jing of Zhou, there was a civil strife in the Zhou Dynasty, and Lao Tzu was implicated and resigned and went into hiding, and began to travel west. The capital of the Zhou Dynasty was originally Haojing, and later moved the capital to Luoyang, which is the starting point of Laozi, passed through Hangu Pass, and wrote the book "Tao Te Ching" when he arrived at Sanguan, and the records after that were fragmentary, but as long as they were carefully pieced together......"
Su Yi quoted scriptures, racked his brains, and even turned out many books from later generations in China, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to roughly determine the route of Lao Tzu's march.
"There is a folk wild history "Qin Minzhi" mentioned a sentence: 'Lao Tzu went out of the customs and entered Yidi in the west', and there is a book of "Qin Duyi Examination" written by Wang Guowei of the Qing Dynasty mentions: 'The ancestors of the Qin people originated from Rong Di', 'Yi Di' and 'Rong Di' are the meaning of 'border residents', at that time the northwest border of the Zhou Dynasty was the Qin State, and the Qin people were also called 'Rong Di' by many Central Plains residents, that is, barbarians, who would have thought that it was these border residents, but later they could unify the Central Plains?"
"Uh, that's a long way off...... According to a large number of fragmentary historical materials, it can be determined that Lao Tzu's westward route is: out of Luoyang, through Hanguguan and Sanguan, into the Hetao area of Gansu, through Tianshui, Qingshui, Lixian, Qin'an...... Zhangye, Gaotai, Jiuquan and other places, and finally returned to Longxi to live in seclusion, and the end point cannot be determined. ”
"But there is a record in "Longxi Yi Chronicles": "Li Er lived a long life, died at the age of one hundred and sixty-two, the neighbors came to mourn, the old and young women and children cried, such as crying filial piety, feeling its tenderness, so they were buried with local rites", according to the description of the funeral, it can be basically determined that the place where Lao Tzu lived in seclusion is Lintao!"
After finalizing Lao Tzu's westward route, the sweat on Su Yi's forehead flowed sideways, and the sweat on her back wet her clothes.
While dipping in ink, Su Yi wiped her sweat and complained in her mouth.
"This question cannot be answered without rich knowledge of wild history, and I almost quoted more than 40 folk accounts before finally determining the route of Lao Tzu's westward journey; ”
Su Yi shook her head, didn't think about it anymore, and was about to write down the answer.
But at this time, an invisible repulsive force seemed to pour out from the paper, and Su Yi was obstructed by a huge force and couldn't write the answer.
Suddenly, a majestic voice exploded in my ears.
"What is the Tao?"
Su Yi thought for a while and replied: "The Tao is natural, it is the law of the rise and fall of all things, and the law of the operation of heaven and earth. ”
Suddenly, the invisible repulsion disappeared, and Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief and began to write the answer.
When Su Yi wrote the first stroke, the earth within a radius of ten miles suddenly shook, and many candidates in the examination room looked out the window, wondering in their hearts, thinking: "What kind of vision is there outside?"
Han Xiuzhu, who had studied Taoist doctrine, suddenly burst into heart, and looked in the direction of the examination room where Su Yi was with a surprised expression.
When Su Yi wrote the last stroke, the tip of the pen left the paper, and there was a cracking sound, like tearing a piece of cloth.
Suddenly, a blue book condensed in the training ground in Su Yi's mind, and there was only one word on the inscription: Dao.
Su Yi was puzzled, his mind entered the training ground, opened the book, and found that the first few pages were all miscellaneous studies he had quoted when he had solved the problem before, all of which were records of Lao Tzu's traces, and at the end there were answers written by Su Yi, while the next few hundred pages were all blank.
Closing the book, Su Yi looked at it fixedly, and found that the word "Dao" on the inscription seemed to be changing all the time, sometimes this word gave him the feeling of a piece of heaven and earth, incomparably vast and vast, and then slowly changed into flowers and trees, bringing him a fresh and refined feeling, sometimes for the stars, sometimes for the sun and the moon, there is no word in the world that can specifically summarize this word, only one word can be described: all-encompassing.
"Moyi needs to quote the scriptures word for word, but what I wrote was an original answer, so I formed this book?, what is the purpose of this book?" Su Yi had a hundred questions in his heart, but no one could answer them for him.
......
Just when Su Yi condensed the "Dao" book, in the small world of dominating the world, the main hall suddenly gushed out a million-zhang high brilliance, breaking through the clouds in the sky and shining on the endless void.
After a while, the brilliance dissipated and receded like a tide.
But in the very center of the main hall, the two old Yuan Rong opened their eyes at the same time, and a vast aura swept out, and in front of their eyes, there was a condensed book of the same "Dao".
Seeing the ever-changing word "Dao" on the inscription, even if he is as noble as the two old Yuanrong, he can't remain calm.
"It turned out to be the holy book of 'Dao'?!Could it be that someone in the Taoist family wants to become holy on the ground?!" Wei Lao Yuanrong's heart was pounding, if the human race could produce another saint, then what was the barbarian race afraid of?
"No, it's just a prototype of a holy scripture, and the degree of completion is far inferior to "Wu Zi's Art of War", let alone "Sun Tzu's Art of War"; ”
Chen Lao Yuanrong smiled slightly, beckoned, and the Taoist book fell into his hands like a newborn baby.
Before he opened this book, the content of this book was already reflected in Chen Lao Yuanrong's eyes, and when he finished reading, a trace of strange brilliance flashed in his vicissitudes but clear eyes.
"'The Tao is natural, it is the law of the rise and fall of all things, and the law of the operation of heaven and earth', I didn't expect that there are really candidates in this college examination who can break through the questions I have set and answer tricky questions such as 'Lao Tzu's journey to the west'.
"You can't find someone to answer the question?"
"I can't find it, my vision is blocked by the Holy Way of Reason, and I can't pass through it, but I can be sure that the person who condenses this book must be the one who answers this question, and the answer is very subtle, otherwise it is impossible to arouse the resonance of the Holy Way of Reason, and condense the rudiments of the Holy Book of the Way. ”
It is a pity that this person cannot make a name for himself, but the good news is that the holy way of reason obstructs him, and no one can peep into this person, but this person is safe. At the beginning, Sun Sheng collected the theory of Jiang Taigong, the originator of the military family, and turned it into his own use, so that he could once lay the holy way of the soldier and become holy, and now if someone can perfectly interpret the philosophy of Lao Tzu, I am afraid that the second saint will be born. Wei Lao Yuanrong said with emotion.
"The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, but it is too difficult to become holy, and we can't pin our hopes on this, not to mention. Chen Lao Yuanrong let go of his hand, and the Holy Book of the Dao came out of his hand and flew out of the main hall.
"When will you become a saint?"
"Work hard, I hope we can ...... before the rise of all races"
While the two were talking, the Holy Book of the Tao flew into a courtyard on the right, and the words "Shengcang Yuan" were written on the door, which was located next to the Jinglun Courtyard.
From the outside, Shengcang Courtyard is just an ordinary courtyard, which is so inconspicuous compared to the Jinglun Courtyard, which has countless towering stone tablets.
But stepping into it is like walking through the void.
In the void, there are two books suspended, one "The Art of War" and one "The Art of War", both of which exude five-colored brilliance.
This Taoist book quietly floated to the side of the second book, spewing out a very faint purple light, there was no concept of time here, as if it was eternal.
......
After answering the question "Lao Tzu Travels West", after resting for more than 30 breaths, Su Yi continued to answer the question.
Su Yi struggled to swim in a sea of questions, and it took a whole afternoon to answer more than 150 test papers.
Until dinner time, Su Yi raised her head and sighed that the hospital examination was really difficult.
With his knowledge accumulation, I don't know how hard other candidates are?
After dinner, Su Yi got up and moved her muscles and bones, and sat down to answer the last 100 pages of the test paper.
Although there were some ambiguity traps in the subsequent questions, they did not cause much hindrance to Su Yi, and after the tricky question of "Lao Tzu's Westward Journey", Su Yi answered all the ink meanings smoothly, and looked up to see that it was already a starry night.
Su Yi spent more than half an hour, checking all the test papers against the Yanhai Monument, correcting more than ten mistakes, and then went to bed.
Wrapped in a quilt and pillowing tea and bamboo pillows, Su Yi has been thinking about tomorrow's trial.
"Such a large number of Moyi questions, but only account for the second prize, it is better to try a question directly accounted for the eight chips, which is enough to show how important the test strategy is; tomorrow's test strategy will be the key to the literary test, but the most taboo in the examination room is the tension, the more I feel that I want to do well, the more difficult it is to get good results, so I must relax my mind and play normally. ”
