Chapter 10: The Prodigy
About 600 years ago, the four great Taoist sects in the world, including the Hanging Heaven Temple, made a grand wish to jointly collect all the Taoist classics in the heavens and the earth throughout the ages, and compiled them into a book with a history of 50 years. Because it was originally divided into three caves, four auxiliaries and twelve gates, a total of 3,000 volumes, it was called 3,000 Daozang.
In the following 500 years, each family continued to supplement and revise, and the collection of classics has already exceeded 5,000 volumes. It's just that the people of the world have long formed a habit and still have the name of 3,000 Dao.
Originally, there were only four of the Three Thousand Dao Collections, which were treasured by each of the four great Dao sects. With the passage of time, various versions have fallen into the public, but many of them are missing or even fallacious.
Chen Douyu began to read the scriptures at the age of four, and it only took eight years to complete the reading of the 3,000 Daozang.
Today, outside a mountain temple of unknown origin, there was a boy in his teens who proposed to compete with him for 3,000 Daozang. Chen Douyu's eyes added a little more anger when he looked at Lu Ye.
She was going to ignore it, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly changed her mind, and sneered slightly: "What if you lose?"
"Leave it at your disposal!" Lu Ye was also dry.
Chen Douyu said hey: "Okay, if I lose, it will be the same!"
"Wait!" Zou Yan secretly complained that Lu Ye didn't know the height of the sky, and he tried three thousand Daozang with Chen Douyu, what was the difference between that and death. She thanked Lu Bo for his kindness, and couldn't teach Lu Ye to be bullied by others no matter what, so she hurriedly stopped: "Xiao Yezi, I'll talk about this matter when Mr. Lu comes back." ”
"Mouthy!" Chen Douyu's five fingers on his left hand burst out like a knife, and he struck Zou Yan with a volley.
Zou Yan hurriedly dodged, and with a flip of his hand, he pulled out a lancet to protect him as if he were facing a great enemy.
"Po!" the blue palm wind swept over Zou Yan, hitting an ancient cypress behind her, sinking into the trunk like mercury.
The towering ancient cypress trembled slightly, and hundreds of leaves were scorched and withered in an instant, and then the branches and trunks cracked and carbonized, and the "crackling" explosion in the thick trunk was cut off.
Zou Yan gasped and said, "One palm and one withered glory!"
Chen Douyu said indifferently: "You have a little knowledge." It's just a small warning, otherwise you're already a dried corpse lying on the ground at the moment!"
Zou Yan's face was ugly, the gap between herself and Chen Douyu was so big, how could she fight. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you kill me, don't think about touching that kid!"
Lu Ye was moved in his heart and said: "Sister Zou is really good, but she is many times stronger than this little Dao Gu." I can't let her suffer. ”
At that moment, he said loudly: "Stinky Dao Aunt, you draw the next road, this son will accompany you to the end, and you will be beaten to the bottom of the water!"
Chen Douyu was also unambiguous, and responded: "One of us will make the last sentence, and the other will take the next sentence." If you can't catch it or make a mistake, you will lose. ”
Lu Ye blinked and said: "Why don't we add a little more, in addition to being able to continue the next sentence, we also have to tell its origin, do you dare?"
"That's it!" Chen Douyu said without thinking.
She knew she had won, because it wasn't a fair contest in itself. More than 500 years of circulation and variation, there are too many omissions and errors in the folk version, which can be described as full of loopholes. Lu Yefei is a disciple of the Four Great Dao Sects, and it is impossible to have three thousand authentic Dao Collections. If you pick out one or two mistakes or omissions at random, this kid will have to fall into the pit stupidly, and don't even want to climb out.
Thinking of this, she generously said, "You come first." ”
Lu Ye was not polite, and opened his mouth to read: "Yi, Xiangye." The hanging image is bright, the sun and the moon are not great, the poor god is intellectualized, the yang is yin, the radiation is reincarnated, and the entry and exit are more comfortable. ”
Zou Yan was also curious, and listened carefully on the side, always feeling that this passage was very familiar, but for a while and a half, she couldn't remember where she had read or heard it.
As soon as Lu Ye finished reading here, Chen Douyu didn't think about it, so he continued: "Yi has three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams, according to the talismans, the talisman is sixty-four hexagrams...... From the Sun and Moon Hanging Elephant Chapter of "Participation in the Deed". This is the book I memorized when I was five years old. ”
"Oh. I memorized it when I was three years old...... Taught by my mother, I don't give candy if I make a mistake in reciting a word. Lu Ye replied lightly.
Zou Yan suddenly felt that Lu Ye's appearance in front of him was extremely handsome, not for anything else, just to suffocate Chen Douyu speechless.
Chen Douyu's red and full lips moved, and finally turned into a low hum: "Within a while, there is a chance for the sun to come and go." It is the opportunity, not in the winter solstice, not in the New Year's Day, and not in the child time. ”
Zou Yan perked up when she heard this, and thought to herself, isn't this a passage in "The Purpose of Life"?
She didn't know that this was a deliberate hook from Chen Douyu, and the next sentence was mostly recorded in the circulating folk version: "If it is not the grand heaven and earth yin and yang, and the insight is deep and recreated, I don't know when I am alive, it is like this." ”
In fact, the original text of the Hanging Heaven View should read: "Those who do not reach the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and know the creator in the body, do not know the living son, and this is its secret." ”
There are errors and omissions in a paragraph, and the so-called mistakes are thousands of miles. She looked at Lu Ye with a slight sneer on the corner of her mouth, waiting for the show to be staged.
Lu Ye was not in a hurry, and replied: "If you are not a person who has reached the yin and yang of heaven and earth and understood the creation in your body, you don't know the secret of the living son...... There are two errors and omissions in the folk version, and my mother mentioned it when she sat down with a mage to discuss the Tao. But the man laughed at my mother-in-law for tampering with the Taoist scriptures. Since then, my mother has never talked to anyone about the mistakes and omissions in the Three Thousand Daozang. ”
Chen Douyu was stunned, and a cold light rose in his eyes and said, "Who is your mother?"
Those who can understand the original of the Three Thousand Dao Collections are absolutely impossible except for the disciples of the four great views of the world.
"My mother is my mother. ”
Zou Yan simply admired Lu Ye so much, this seemingly honest little descendant looked calm at the moment, which was simply impressive.
She couldn't help but smile and secretly gave Lu Ye a thumbs up, and said loudly: "Xiao Yezi, it's time for you to solve the question." ”
Lu Ye grinned and said, "Sister Zou, can you help me cut a branch, it doesn't need to grow, just have more than a foot." ”
Zou Yan didn't know what Lu Ye wanted to do, but it was right to do it herself, anyway, it was not difficult to chop wood with a lancet.
Lu Ye took the branch that Zou Yan had chopped with a lancet and thanked him. He gripped the branch and wrote the words "Break the Void" on the ground.
Chen Douyu was stunned and hesitated: "What do you mean?"
"Please continue. ”
Chen Douyu's eyebrows stood up like a knife, and he glared at Lu Ye angrily and said, "You dare to play tricks on me?"
Lu Ye shook his head and said, "As long as you can name how many places the words 'Breaking the Void' are recorded in the three thousand Dao Collections, and where are the sources of each, I will immediately admit defeat." ”
Chen Douyu was startled, almost holding back his internal injuries, and asked slowly: "This is also what your mother taught when you were three years old?"
Lu Ye shook his head again and said, "No, this kind of water grinder is not patient for my mother." ”
"Who's that?"
"My dad ....... He deliberately embarrassed me, causing me to almost turn over the 3,000 Dao Zang. In the end, a total of 168 sites were found. Lu Ye looked at Chen Douyu and said frankly: "No way, I can't win you without this method." But you don't lose unjustly, for example, there is a sentence in the "Yin Fu Sutra" that 'when you eat it, you will be reasonable; Steal its chances, Wan Hua'an. 'How many times have you been quoted in the Three Thousand Dao Collections?, no more, no less, six!'
Chen Douyu gritted his teeth and said, "Your father, just like to play this kind of boring game with you?"
"Isn't it boring," Lu Ye explained seriously: "Haven't you noticed that the Three Thousand Dao Tibetan system is chaotic, there are many records in the classics that can be cited and corroborated by each other, but there are also many places that will contradict each other and have different interpretations." If you don't understand and analyze them one by one, who knows what you're eating in your stomach?"
"This is what my father taught me. ”
Zou Yan endured and endured, and finally laughed out loud.
Chen Douyu said indiscriminately: "You mean that the methods of others to read the Bible are all wrong?"
Lu Ye said strangely: "How do I know how others read the Bible, anyway, I just do what my mother and father teach." ”
"What else have you read besides the Three Thousand Daozang?"
Lu Ye thought for a while, and said honestly: "It's hard to say." ”
"Say!"
"The subset of Confucian scriptures and history is almost finished, and my father doesn't like Buddhist scriptures, so I read less, only about two hundred. As long as the classics of the other sons and hundreds of schools can be found, my father and mother want me to write them down. Well, by the way, there are also some poems and songs that give everyone classics, all kinds of pen history and drama legends that my mother likes to watch, such as "Hui Zhen Ji", "Old Disabled Ghost Story", "Golden Snow Bottle"——"
Chen Douyu frowned and said, "What kind of mess is it, why do you want to read it?"
"If you don't read it, you won't have sugar gourds to eat. ”
"You lied to me. How old are you to memorize so many books?"
Lu Ye saw that Chen Douyu's appearance was clearly unbelieving, so he had to say: "My way of reading is different from others. ”
No more, and he won't say anything.
Chen Douyu's breath was uncertain, and he sneered and said: "Talking nonsense, dare to lie to me!"
She scanned her surroundings with her eyes like lightning, and said in a loud voice: "Sneakily using a baby to do it, think I can't see through it?
She didn't believe Lu Ye's words, thinking that someone must be hiding in the shadows and using sound transmission to teach this kid to tease herself.
Zou Yan's gaze also moved with Chen Douyu, feeling that Chen Douyu's suspicion was somewhat reasonable, otherwise Lu Ye would not be a demon, and he really couldn't explain it with common sense. But no matter what, now she has to stand behind Lu Ye without hesitation to support this little guy.
So she smiled coquettishly and said, "Interesting, Chen Douyu, the famous genius descendant of the Hanging Heaven Observatory, will actually play tricks." If you lose, you lose, why are you suspicious and bluffing, even I can't stand it as an irrelevant outsider. ”
Chen Douyu was extremely angry, she would never believe Lu Ye's words, how could she bear it when she heard Zou Yan's sneering, Qiong sneered coldly and grabbed Lu Ye and said, "I want to see who is making a ghost in front of the poor road?!"
