Li Xuan was not in a hurry to open the box: "This...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Regarding Li Xuandu's resignation, the palace official had already expected it, and naturally there was also a rhetoric: "There is nothing wrong, after all, the matter of the White Emperor City at the beginning, the Purple Mansion also made great efforts, if the Purple Mansion is unwilling to accept the Holy Monarch's congratulatory gift, then it will be regarded as the Holy Monarch's thank you for this matter." ”

Li Xuandu said: "The reason why I went to the White Emperor City was because I was invited by Zhang Luanshan, and then I inherited the love of the Great Heavenly Master and Brother Xuanji, but it has nothing to do with the Holy Monarch. ”

That's not true. The palace official gently patted his palm with a folding fan: "If there is any transaction or agreement between the Holy Monarch and the Great Heavenly Master, it is a matter between the Holy Monarch and the Great Heavenly Master, but this thank-you gift is a matter between the Holy Monarch and the Purple Mansion, so it is difficult to generalize." ”

Li Xuandu stretched out his hand and pressed the box and asked, "What's in here?"

The palace official said: "Isn't it clear when the Purple Mansion is opened? Could it be that the Purple Mansion is still afraid that there is some trap hidden in it?"

Li Xuandu was silent for a moment, and said: "After all, good and evil are not mutually exclusive, and the earth master has just attacked the Dazhen Mansion, and the things on the rivers and lakes are also uncertain." ”

The palace official said: "The Holy Monarch has been famous in the rivers and lakes for many years, how he behaves, the Purple Mansion should be clear, and it is definitely not comparable to the earth master." ”

Li Xuandu laughed and retracted his palm: "In this incident, in order to negotiate peace, the earth master gave up a Dao Seed Sect, and the many years of operation in the Daoless Sect were also ruined. The Great Heavenly Master was forced to leave the customs ahead of schedule, and he lost how much penance he had lost, not to mention, the key was that Zhengyizong had lost a lot of face, and to use an inappropriate analogy, this was falling into the mud and being stepped on again. Only the Holy Monarch has gained great benefits. I don't dare to say what kind of person the Holy Monarch is, but in terms of planning and thought, the Holy Monarch is not inferior to the Earth Master in the slightest. If it weren't for this, the Holy Monarch would not be able to rise up and fight against the predecessor of the earth master, and Li Mou would not be able to guard against it. ”

The palace official sighed lightly, and took the initiative to reach out and open the box, only to see a thick classic in the box.

The palace official said softly: "The patriarchs of the ten sects of my Holy Sect have left ten volumes of the Book of Heaven, and each sect holds one volume, which is the method of fundamental success, and if you get ten volumes of the Book of Heaven, it is the method of attaining the great success of the Dao." In fact, after arriving in the immortal realm, there is no shortage of Dacheng methods, and these Dacheng methods that are difficult to find in the eyes of ordinary Jianghu people are not so concerned. ”

Li Xuandu had heard of the Evil Dao Heavenly Book. At that time, the Daomen was divided into two, in addition to the Taishang Daozu and the Sanqing Patriarch, the righteous Dao served Nanhua Daojun as the ancestor, and the Taishang Daozu was juxtaposed, also known as "Lao Zhuang". The evil way worships Yang Zhu as the ancestor. Yang Zhu was later than Mozi and before Yasheng, advocating the preservation of all truths and the preservation of nature, and the importance of light things. And put forward the famous saying of the world: "The ancients, if they lose a little bit to benefit the world, they will not be with them; No one loses a single bit, everyone is not good for the world, and the world is governed. It's just that later generations took it out of context and became "pulling out a Maori world." "Yang Zhu is in the same vein, and the ancestor of the Taishang Dao" is the world, if you can send it to the world. Love is the world, if you can support the world. There are similarities, but they are not completely consistent, and they were reprimanded by Nanhua Daojun, which led to the distinction between good and evil.

However, the popularity of this Taoist patriarch Yang Zhu was so strong that it even surpassed Confucianism, and was praised as "the words of the world do not return to Yang, then to Mo", and the heyday of the Mohist family, it can be seen that its influence is great. Yang Zhu was strongly opposed to Mozi back then, and it can even be said that he was opposed. Later, Yasheng once summed up the dispute between the two: "Yang Zi takes it as me, plucks a hair and benefits the world, not for it." Mozi and love, the top of the heel, benefit the world, for it. Yang Zhu advocates "for me", even if plucking a hair on his body can benefit the people of the world, he will not do it, while Mozi advocates "love", as long as it is beneficial to the people of the world, even if he polishes the top of his head and breaks his feet, he is also willing.

Chongxu Daojun even recorded a "Yang Mo Debate", which did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and the final result was: Ask Taishang Daozu and Wenshi Daojun in Yang Zhu's words, then Yang Zhu won. Ask the three emperors and five emperors and the ancient holy kings in Mo Zhai's words, and Mo Zhai wins.

It can be seen that this evil patriarch is a sage figure alongside the Mohist giants and Confucian saints.

In fact, Li Daoxu has long been clear about the dispute between good and evil: "In the earliest days, when the heroes rose together, a hundred schools of thought contended, at that time, no one was respected as an eternally correct god, and no one set all kinds of rules and regulations for this world, so naturally no one will be belittled as a demon, there is no good, and there is no evil." ”

The reason why Yang Zhu changed from a Taoist sage to a heretical patriarch today is like the dispute between Confucianism and Mo, in the end, the victor Confucianism's master became a saint, while the defeated Mojia disappeared.

This book of evil Taoism is from the hand of Yang Zhu, it is his collection of all kinds of strange skills and strange methods in the world, to remove the chaff, and finally compiled into a book, because it is all-encompassing, many of its contents are not from Taoism, so Yang Zhu did not take a name, and later generations called it the nameless book of heaven ten volumes. Later, the evil path was divided into ten veins, each of which held a volume of the Book of Heaven, and thus extended the ten supernatural powers. It's just that the exercises on the rivers and lakes, not the older the better, in the continuous fighting, there are also Tianzong wizards who continue to improve and improve the exercises, such as the "Beidou Thirty-six Sword Tricks" of Qing Weizong, which was originally derived from the "Taiping Qingling Sutra", which can only be regarded as a top-notch method, and later after Li Daoxu's removal and improvement, it became a Dacheng method that is on a par with the "Cihang Pudu Sword Codex" and "Taiyin Thirteen Swords". Therefore, these ten volumes of heavenly books are not too precious in terms of a single volume.

Especially now Li Xuandu has the five great methods, and among the methods he has learned, in addition to the "Beidou Thirty-six Sword Tricks", there are also the "Taiyin Thirteen Swords" and part of the "Cihang Pudu Sword Codex" that are only one sword away, and there is really no shortage of exercises.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xuandu planned to refuse.

The palace official took the first step and said, "Zifu, listen to me." When the Song sect master became the master of the Daoless Sect, he had the support of the earth master and wanted to merge the ten sects into one sect, but the other sects were unwilling. Moreover, the ten sects have been inherited for many years, and if the ancestral inheritance is lost in their own hands, they will have no shame to meet the ancestors. Because of this, when the Han Wujian Han Sect Master of the Forgetful Sect was dying, he wanted to entrust the sect master to the hands of his close friend Qin Qing, because he was afraid that the Forgetful Sect would be leaderless and directly annexed by the Wudao Sect, which also indirectly contributed to the alliance of the five sects in Liaodong. Now Mr. Shen Da of the Taiping Sect has entrusted the suzerain throne to the Purple Mansion, in fact, it is the same reason. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "What does this have to do with the Book of Heaven?"

The palace official said: "Although the Song Sect Master failed to merge the ten sects into one sect for various reasons, he still had some gains, and the biggest gain was to get a copy of these ten volumes of the Book of Heaven and reproduce the whole picture of the Book of Heaven left by the ancestor back then. Later, the reason why the Holy Monarch was able to enter the immortal realm in the year of not being confused was also due to the ten volumes of the Book of Heaven. ”

Li Xuandu shook his head: "I have already learned the 'Taiyin Thirteen Swords', and the legacy is very deep, and I don't want to learn any other exercises at this time, so as not to make matters worse." ”

The palace official said with a smile: "At this point, the Purple Mansion doesn't have to worry, the ten volumes of the Book of Heaven have different effects, in order to distinguish them, they are called by their respective sects, and the two volumes of the Heavenly Book sent by the Earth Master to the Purple Mansion belong to the Daoless Sect and the True Inheritance Sect respectively. Among the five sects of the evil path today, the non-Taoist sect is the most powerful, and the true sect is the most declining. It's just that the Book of Heaven itself is not superior or inferior, and the Book of Heaven of the Wudao Sect contains a magical power of 'Extreme Heavenly Yanluo', which is similar to the 'Taiyi Wuyanluo' of the Miaozhen Sect. This is a technique to resist the enemy, and after full operation, it will form a layer of protective qi on the surface of the body, which is extremely tenacious, and it is difficult to break even if it is a divine weapon. There is a 'Heavenly Heart Formula' in the Book of Heaven in the True Transmission Sect, which is a secret method for healing injuries, but as the name suggests, it can only be used when it reaches the Heavenly and Human Realm, and there is no great master in the True Transmission Sect, and naturally no one can use this magical power. ”

Li Xuandu thought about it, the "Extreme Heavenly Yanluo" was nothing, the key was the "Heavenly Heart Formula", which made him extremely excited. I have to say that this gift is made with heart, in short, it is to do what it likes.

The palace official chuckled and said, "If the Purple Mansion is not at ease, you can hand over these two volumes of Heavenly Books to the Great Heavenly Master, or the Great Sword Immortal, and ask them to help you take a closer look at them to see if there are any shortcomings." ”

Li Xuandu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "This gift is too precious. ”
