Chapter 11 The Great Road is Like the Blue Sky (Old Taoist Old Story 2)

Zhang Yun's heart was like ashes, and he was in pain.

He lay on the bed, his severed hands and feet had been connected and put on a splint, but he still couldn't move at all, and his whole body was in pain. There was a lot of confusion in his mind, and countless noisy voices echoed in his head, scolding him for killing his parents and villagers. I started to have nightmares every night, dreaming of the tragic scene of my parents and villagers being killed, just like the scene of that day. Every time he woke up from a nightmare, he felt that he was a scourge, a sin, an irony, a superfluous, and deserved to be spurned by heaven and earth.

Yuanxu Daoist didn't know that he had so many things in his mind, but he did his best to take care of it, decoction and feeding medicine on time, changing dressing and dressing regularly, and wiping his body every day.

"Materia Medica" contains thousands of medicines, the medical skills of the Yuanxu Taoist are superb, the right medicine, not only regulates the qi and blood of Zhang Yunshe, but also invigorates blood stasis, renews the bones and strengthens the tendons, the medicine is extremely meticulous, and the drugs used are all high-grade medicinal materials. In addition, the bone continuation black jade paste he developed was extremely effective in the butt bone recovery tendon, so within a few days, Zhang Yunshe's pain had gradually disappeared, and the internal injuries had gradually healed, and his complexion had recovered very well. A month later, Yuanxu made a very delicate wheelchair for him, pushing him to go out and walk around, blowing the wind, basking in the sun, watching the scenery, and explaining the halls and landscapes of Yunxuguan.

Yunxu Sect is the ancestral court of Taoism in the world at that time, it is the authentic Taoist gate, the Yunxu view built is extremely magnificent, all the buildings are built according to the mountain, the group of buildings overlaps, the building hall is saggy, the momentum is magnificent. Two hundred years ago, the first generation of the patriarch here Yunxu Zhenren dominated the sixteen states, and after becoming famous, he founded a mountain here, and after several generations of business accumulation, he finally achieved this brilliant style.

Zhang Yunshe still didn't speak, like a mute. Yuanxu also knew that he had suffered a great change, his relatives had died, and the blow he had suffered was too great, and he had not completely recovered, so he did not force him to speak. Wherever they passed, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted them, showing great respect, and it could also be seen that the rules of the Cloud Void Sect were strict. Everyone looked at Zhang Yunshe curiously, and they all thought that it was this teenager who saved the master, and sure enough, the hero came out of the boy.

At first, the four sons of Yunxu often came to visit Zhang Yunshe. Later, only Xuan Xuozi would come to visit every day, and the other three sons would only come once for a long time. Xuan Xuozi has basically recovered, his complexion is much better, his eyes are bursting with essence, and his cultivation is obviously extremely deep.

Three months later, Zhang Yunshe was finally able to stand and walk. He saw that the Yuanxu Daoist went up the mountain to collect medicine, and there was no one in the "Materia Medica Pavilion", so he walked out of the room alone. He had been in a wheelchair and had been walking around with the abyss, so he was extremely familiar with the terrain in this area. He walked slowly, and many people still saluted him wherever he passed, which showed that he was already famous here.

He walked straight out of the temple and followed the mountain path to descend the mountain. The gatekeeper did not dare to stop him, and quickly ran back to the temple to report.

After a while, Xuan Xuozi hurriedly came, stopped in front of him, and said, "You are not completely injured, you should move around less." Why do you have to go down the mountain? Don't you think these legs are really useless!"

Zhang Yunshe ignored it, bypassing Xuan Xuzi and stepping out again.

Ruo Xuzi shook his body, stopped him again, and said, "If you don't want to speak, just stay in the meditation and recuperate, and wait until your hands and feet are completely healed." If your heart is not dead, you will want to take revenge, why don't you meditate here, learn the best martial arts in the world, and then walk out of this mountain gate to find those demons in the Demon Domain to take revenge!"

Xuan Xuozi paused, and then said: "I have already sent someone down the mountain to investigate and learned that you were originally an outer disciple in the Feiyun Sect, in charge of the library pavilion. There are nine rooms inside and outside the library hall, there are no less than one million books in various classics, there are the most complete Taoist classics in the world, and there are many martial arts cheats. If you like, feel free to check it out. ”

Zhang Yunshe stopped, thought for a long time, and finally said astringently: "Are my parents and villagers buried?"

Xuan Xuzi nodded solemnly.

Zhang Yunshe closed his eyes, tears running down his face. Then, without saying a word, he turned around and walked back to the temple.

Xuan Xuozi breathed a sigh of relief and followed back to the temple.

Six months later, Zhang Yunshe finally recovered. He still lives in the "Materia Medica Pavilion" of the Yuanxu Daoist, and still hasn't spoken. Yuanxu Daoist is also extremely interesting, seeing that Zhang Yunshe doesn't speak, he doesn't speak, and the two use their eyes and gestures to deal with each other. These two eloquent people do not open their mouths to speak every day, and only communicate with their eyes and gestures, which is extremely funny.

I don't know if it was instructed by Xuanxuzi, Guangxuzi, Ling Xuzi, and Chengxuzi came over one after another, and they all said that they intended to accept him as a disciple and teach him martial arts. But he neither spoke, nor nodded in agreement, leaving everyone in disgrace. But Xuan Xuozi himself didn't dare to mention the matter of accepting apprentices, perhaps he also knew that Zhang Yunshe was still very estranged from him.

No one arranged any errands for Zhang Yunshe, nor did they restrict any actions. As a result, he became the person with the most special status and the most freedom of action in the Cloud Void Sect. At first, during the day, he followed the Yuanxu Dao people up the mountain to collect medicines and read all kinds of herbs. At night, I read medical books and learned medical science and medicine.

A year later, he began to burrow into the "library hall" and plunged into it. "Book Palace" is the place where Yunxu Sect collects books, three rooms outside and seven rooms inside, three floors on the upper and three floors below, the eyes are full of books, filled with a strong fragrance of books and camphor.

The other three are books such as the subset of scripture and history, medical astrology, and state and county chronicles, among which two are "Yunxu Memorabilia" and "Yunxu Anecdotes", which he particularly likes, and has a lot of understanding of the celebrities and events of the Yunxu Sect in the past dynasties.

The inner seven rooms are Taoist classics, the content is extremely rich, all-encompassing, including the "three holes and four auxiliary" all kinds of classics, there are scriptures, treatises, precepts classics, spells, talismans classics, there are Zhai Jiao ritual classics, there are internal and external Dan refining classics, there are all kinds of books, many categories, complete types. As soon as Zhang Yunshe entered it, it was like entering the sea of stars, and he knew how insignificant the scripture collection pavilion of the "Feiyun Sect" where he was originally located was, and it was nothing compared to the "Library Palace" of the Yunxu Sect.

The four sons of Yunxu naturally often enter the "Library Palace", but they always go straight to the innermost room when they come in, and they never interfere with each other with Zhang Yunshe. "What's inside? When I've finished reading all the books outside, it's not too late to go inside. Zhang Yunshe thought to himself.

How easy is it to read all the classics? He spent three years on the outer three rooms, and eight years on the first six rooms of the inner seven. It took a total of eleven years. In eleven years, the young man became a young man. For eleven years, the eccentric boy who never opened his mouth to say a word, if it weren't for the occasional recitation when he was studying, everyone thought he was mute.

became famous for his reading, and Zhang Yunshe was the first in the huge cloud void. This young man, who is privately called a "bookworm", does not learn martial arts, does not apprentice, and hides in the library every day, completely alien. Moreover, isn't it a monster that this way can be the same for eleven years?

There is poetry and writing in the belly. After eleven years of reading, Zhang Yunshe has become a person with a good temperament from a rural boy, and he looks like he is old. Taoism's center of gravity is quiet, the heart is quiet, and the heart is clear. With the fragrance of books and the dyeing of ink over the years, Zhang Yunshe used his own eccentric way of cultivation to enter the quiet and natural realm pursued by Taoism.

It's not that there are no female Taoists in the view. Within a few years, the library suddenly flourished more than ever, and most of them were female Taoist priests. This is more or less related to the "bookworm" Zhang Yunshe.

In the early spring of the twelfth year, when it was warm and cold, the first thunder sounded, and the spring rain outside the hall was dripping, and Zhang Yunshe finally walked into the innermost room. He thought in his heart that the innermost room must be an incomparably precious martial arts treasure, and no matter how bad it is, it is a unique Taoist ancient authenticity.

But when he pushed open the hidden door and stepped inside, it was completely unexpected. The last room of the last library has no books. The walls were empty, there were no books, only a table and a bed. The table is lit with sandalwood, and the fragrance is light and simple. On the bed sat cross-legged an old man, with a childish face, long eyebrows hanging down his shoulders, and his eyes closed.

As soon as Zhang Yunshe walked in, Lao Dao opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Twelve years, you finally came in!"

Zhang Yunshe looked at the eyes of the old man, and felt like staring at a deep pool, unfathomable. He nodded, and couldn't help but open his mouth to reply, "Yes." ”

Old Hefa continued to ask: "In the first year you came in, you liked to read three hundred poems, how did you feel?"

Zhang Yunshe replied seriously: "As the sage said, there are three hundred poems, and there is no evil in thinking." ”

Lao Dao continued to ask: "In the second year, you read Spring and Autumn, how do you feel?"

Zhang Yunshe replied respectfully: "If you hear spring thunder, you will be righteous." ”

"In the third year, you learned from hundreds of schools, especially Zhuang Zhou, how do you feel?

Zhang Yunshe replied solemnly: "If you see all things, you will be free and easy. ”

"In the early spring of the fourth year, I placed a copy of the Taixuan Introductory Sutra in your reading place, can you practice day and night?"

"I practiced day and night, and I never slackened. An unsolved case in Zhang Yunshe's heart was finally answered. It turned out that the person who put the "Taixuan Introduction Sutra" on his desktop was the old Taoist priest in front of him. He always thought in his heart that it was done by Xuan Xuzi, but it was never confirmed.

"Well, now you are peaceful and smooth, and you have been cultivating day and night. In the next few years, how did you feel when you read many Taoist classics?"

"Broad and profound, obscure and difficult. I can only barely comprehend it, read it silently, and don't understand it very much. ”

"It's a strong reading and memorization, and I don't really understand it, but I have persisted for eight years. That's true, hehe. You have a deep blood feud in your heart, and you should learn martial arts urgently, but why are you not very attentive to the martial arts secrets of the Ninth Chamber, and you don't want to worship the four sons of Xuanxu as teachers?"

Zhang Yunshe was silent. In the early years, he was disliked, so he was reluctant to apprentice. But in the next few years, he was already in a clear state of mind, and there was no estrangement, but why didn't he speak, ignore the four sons of Yunxu, and don't learn martial arts?

He thought, how could he not want to? Keep thinking about it! At the thought of blood feud, his eyes burned and his fists clenched.

Old Crane looked at him, nodded, and said, "Let's go, you can calm down." If you don't learn from a teacher, don't learn martial arts, and if you can enter the Tao by reading the classics, it's not impossible. The avenue of the world is like the blue sky, anyone can walk, and there are people who have ascended to the sky, but they have the same end in different paths. However, to read the classics and enter the Tao, it is necessary not only to meet the natural talent, but also to go through years and months, and even more to be given by God. Under the whole world, I watched the heavens and peeked into the sky, and I also noticed that there was a young man in the Shangguan family in the eastern state who faintly had the image of entering the sainthood, and now it only needs the fate of the sky. ”

"And you, I think it will take time for you to enter the Tao from the text, and it may not be possible in the end. Alas, I can't wait. Carefully calculated, when I was 100 years old, I entered Tongming, and then extended my life for 30 years, and now I am 130 years old, and the time limit is coming, I always hold a sigh of relief, and finally wait for you to come in. You have not learned martial arts or apprenticeship, but you have a Dao heart, which is like a clear heaven and earth, which can be molded much more than Yunxu Sizi and others. Actually, the young man from the Shangguan family in Dongzhou is also very good, and I have gone to him three times for this reason. It's just that he is devoted to Confucianism, reads the classics poorly, and doesn't follow my way. ”

Zhang Yunshe was very curious, and couldn't help but be very fascinated by the young man of the Shangguan family in Dongzhou.

Hefa Lao Dao continued: "For the way of martial arts, it is easiest to have preconceived ideas, and it is also the most taboo to be preconceived, and it is easy to get used to and set the situation. You have never learned martial arts, you have never apprenticed, just like a piece of rice paper, you can not only write about the world, but also depict heaven and earth. From today onwards, I will grant you my Yunxu Sect, a scripture containing the Heavenly Dao. ”

"Speaking of which, this scripture has a lot to do with you. When you were fifteen years old, you saved Xuanxuzi, and it was this scripture in the burden on his chest. In this scripture, I taught the founding patriarch and my master Yunxu Zhenren, who created the 'Taixuan Chapter' and the 'Taixu Chapter', and died suddenly when the creation of the 'Wonderful Ten Thousand Things Chapter' was not completed. My senior brother Daoming Zhenren tried his best to make up for enlightenment, and died of exhaustion at the age of ninety. I followed suit, and I was so loved by heaven that I finally had an epiphany at the age of 100, completed the chapter on 'Wonderful Things', and then entered retreat. But unexpectedly, the news spread quickly, and the Demon Domain sent four masters of the 'Ghost Spirit' to steal the scriptures. The four sons of Yunxu went to recover the scriptures, among which Xuanxuzi almost died because of this, but fortunately you saved him. ”

Zhang Yunshe recalled that he saved Xuanxuzi that day, and Xuanxuzi was really protecting the burden on his chest in a coma Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a scripture book. It was this scripture that ruined his family and made him have a blood feud with the Demon Domain. At the thought of this, his eyes burned again.

Hefa Lao Dao waved his hand and continued: "This scripture is called Taixu Taixuan Sutra. It is divided into three parts, the first of which is the Taixuan Chapter, which I have separated and given to you in the name of the Taixuan Sutra in the fourth year of your entry into the library hall. I will give you the rest of the chapters that are too empty and wonderful, and I will give them to you one by one today. ”

"I practice martial arts, which is very different from other sects. It is divided into seven realms: inward-looking, knowing, form-keeping, merging with the gods, entering the void, returning to the void, and being clear. My master, the Yunxu real person is in the late stage of the virtual realm. My senior brother Daoming Zhenren was still in the middle stage of the virtual realm when he passed away, and his four apprentices, the 'Cloud Void Four Characters', were only in the early stage of entering the virtual realm. You have rested for many years to enter the Taixuan Scripture, and you have already entered the Xuanxuan. Today, I will use the power of the Bright Realm to help you enter the void once you enter!"

Seven days later, the most beloved little apprentice of Yunxu Zhenren, the founding patriarch of Yunxu Sect, the only person in the world who has reached the Tongming Realm, the Taoist power that everyone in the rivers and lakes looks up to, Daoyang Zhenren passed away suddenly.
