Chapter 19: The South China Sutra

"Won't the roof leak, right?" Huang Xiao's heart tightened, thinking that it was windy and rainy outside, and this scripture room had not been repaired for a long time, so it was very possible.

So Huang Xiao hurriedly picked up the candle and ran to the second floor, holding the candle to the roof, and by the dim candlelight, he found that there was no situation as he imagined, which made Huang Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

'Ahem, cough~~' Suddenly, Huang Xiao came up and stirred up the dust in the house, and he couldn't help coughing.

"It turned out that this bookshelf was falling apart. Huang Xiao looked at the broken wooden planks scattered all over the ground in front of him.

"Looks like we're going to have to clean up this place tomorrow. Huang Xiao said in his heart.

Huang Xiao cleaned up the downstairs floor before, and he didn't come upstairs. The main Xuan Zhenzi said that it had been abandoned for many years, and there was nothing left except for a few dilapidated bookshelves, so there was no need to clean it.

Originally, he wanted to clean it when he had time, but when he came to the scripture room later, he paid almost all his attention to the scriptures, and forgot about it for a while.

"Forget it, it's better to hit the sun today, let's clean it now!" Huang Xiao thought for a while.

"These bookshelves have been decayed for some years, and now they are falling apart, which can be regarded as persisting long enough. Huang Xiao looked at the scattered wood.

"No, I'm afraid the other bookshelves are not strong, let's dismantle them together, so as not to fall apart one day, crackling trouble, this can be dismantled and used as firewood to cook rice." ”

So Huang Xiao carefully dismantled the remaining old bookshelves one by one, so as not to make a big movement and stir up dust all over the house.

'Bang~~' Huang Xiao took a look and found that there was a book on the ground.

"I didn't expect there to be a book sandwiched in this old shelf, let's see what it is?" Huang Xiao picked up the book with some curiosity and returned to the candle.

"The Nanhua Sutra!" Huang Xiao looked at the title of the book on the cover and read, the cover of this "Nanhua Sutra" has been yellowed, although no one here will take care of these books to make them more vulnerable, but at least it can show that the age of this book is relatively far away.

"It seems that it is also a Taoist scripture, okay, look, what is written, but it is so thin, it doesn't seem to be an important Taoist classic, right?" Huang Xiao looked at the "Nanhua Sutra" in his hand.

Then he turned the "Nanhua Sutra" and wanted to look at the back of the book, but Huang Xiao was surprised, because he found that the "Nanhua Sutra" turned out to be a fragment.

However, he didn't take it to heart, this book has been left here for I don't know how many years, obviously an unimportant scripture, if it was important, then Qingniuguan would have to go through the entire scripture room a long time ago, this scripture room is so big, and the "Nanhua Sutra" is also on the shelf, it has long been found.

After opening the book, Chen Feng read out the words in the book: "Take the book as the essence, take the object as the coarseness, take the accumulation as the deficiency, and live alone in the gods." ...... It is the purpose of the King of Ten Thousand Classics to build it with the constant nothingness, the Lord's ether oneness, the weakness and humility as the surface, and the emptiness not to destroy all things. The principle of the Tao is divided into nothing, and there are two sides. The Tao is always non-existent, nameless and formless, preceding heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and is the beginning of all things in heaven and earth. The mystery of the Tao is difficult for the saints to comprehend, and the special book "Nanhua Sutra" is the general outline of the Tao Sutra!"

"This "Tao Sutra"?" Huang Xiao frowned, he was surprised in his heart, during this time, he had come into contact with a lot of Taoist classics and scriptures, but he had never heard of any scriptures that could be called the king of all scriptures, this breath was really too big, right?

If this is true, then this "Nanhua Sutra" is the general outline, and its preciousness can be imagined, and why is the Qingniu View not well preserved?

Huang Xiao was very puzzled, but doubts were doubts, so he still flipped through the book and continued to read.

"The classics of the Tao are divided into three classics and four auxiliaries, and the three classics are: Yuan Shi Tianzun "Shangqing Sutra", Taishang Daojun "Lingbao Sutra", Taishang Laojun "Three Emperor Sutra". The three sutras, the outline of the Tao, the Xuanzong of the void, and the first sutra of the saints. ”

Huang Xiaoxindao turned out to be like this, these three scriptures seem to be the classics created by the ancestors under the name of Sanqing, but since it is in the name of the three highest Taoist masters, this scripture is called the outline of the Tao, the Xuanzong of Taixu, and the first scripture of the saint is also deserved.

The four auxiliaries are divided into: Taixuanbu, Taipingbu, Taiqing and Zhengyi, and the corresponding classics are also known as "Taixuanjing", "Taiping Jing", "Taiqing Jing" and "Zhengyi Jing". Among them, the "Taixuan Sutra" is the supplement of the "Shangqing Sutra", the "Taiping Sutra" is the supplement of the "Lingbao Sutra", the "Taiqing Sutra" is the supplement of the "Three Emperors Sutra", and the Zhengyi Sutra runs through the Three Classics and the Three Tai. ”

The scriptures mentioned in the book made Huang Xiao read a little inexplicably, he also read a lot of scriptures during this time, but none of the scriptures mentioned above have been seen, not to mention that he has not read them, even if he mentions them, he has not mentioned them.

Then Huang Xiao found that there were some books in the "Nanhua Sutra" below, and when he saw the title of the first chapter, he exclaimed in surprise and shouted in some surprise: ""The Inner Chapter: Wandering"?"

So he hurriedly looked at it, and saw that these directories were: "Inner Chapter: The Theory of Things", "Inner Chapter: The Health Master", 、......"Inner Chapter: The Human World", "Outer Chapter: Heaven and Earth", "Outer Chapter: Heavenly Dao", "Outer Chapter: Heavenly Fortune、......", "Miscellaneous Chapter: Speaking of Sword", "Miscellaneous Chapter: Lie Yukou", "Miscellaneous Chapter: Tianxia".

Huang Xiao counted it carefully, including seven inner articles, fifteen external articles, and eleven miscellaneous articles, a total of thirty-three articles.

After reading these bibliographies, Huang Xiao was a little dumbfounded, yes, he was dumbfounded, to say that the scriptures above, he had never heard of them, but at the moment he was very familiar with many chapters in these bibliographies, and even memorized them, of course, some of them he didn't know very well. However, what he can be sure of is that these thirty-three articles should all be recorded in the Taoist work "Zhuangzi". How can this article in the "Zhuangzi" appear in this "Nanhua Sutra", it can't be that the two books are confused?

By the way, Lao Zhuang Xue was originally a representative of Taoist doctrine, and the morality of Taoism evolved from Taoist doctrine, which also makes sense. Huang Xiao said in his heart.

Seeing this, the originally extremely mysterious "Nanhua Sutra" has now become more common in Huang Xiao's heart, isn't it just an article that records some Taoist doctrines, and it was so mysterious at the beginning, which really shocked him.

Huang Xiao continued to turn to the next page, and then said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, it's no different from what I have read before!"

I saw that this page is the first "Inner Chapter: Getaway": There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond is also ......

Huang Xiao had read this "Getaway" before, and he could memorize it in the original text without moving, and originally thought that even if it was the same "Getaway", there would be some differences in the content of it, until he finished reading it, and found that it was word-for-word, and suddenly, the original mystery of the "Nanhua Sutra" suddenly disappeared.
