Two days later, Baowen Pavilion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the gaze of Zhang Dan, Cao Xu and others, Zhao Xu took the third longevity pill.

After the fire, it was indescribably refreshing.

This time, the number of imperial doctors in charge of examining Zhao Xu's body increased to three, and they took turns to check on him, and finally confirmed that Zhao Xu's condition had improved greatly, and as long as he was properly conditioned, it was only a matter of time before he recovered.

After the three imperial doctors stepped back, Zhao Xu said with a smile: "Now, Mr. can tell me what he wants." ”

"The only thing I ask for is 'eternal life'. It is difficult to live forever, and it is difficult to go to the sky. I came to Tokyo to borrow a ladder to immortality from the government. Cao Xu said.

Immortality, this is a word with infinite allure.

Zhao Xu's breathing became short, and even Zhang Xuan on the side also pricked up his ears.

"Please also speak up, sir. Zhao Xu said.

"I am here to ask the official family for an errand to search for Taoist testaments in the world and compile Taoist collections. Cao Xu said.

Zhao Xu groaned slightly and said, "This is too wronged Mr. ”

After some answers, Zhao Xu personally gave the "Qingwei Tongxuan Zhenren", called it "Qingxuan Zhenren", and established the Taoist two mansions in the class. Receiving the Taoist books, correcting the scriptures, proofreading the spiritual chapters of the Danjing, and deleting and revising the commentaries.

Cao Xu has lived in the city of Tokyo ever since, and has devoted himself to the imperial collection of classics.

It is not a lie to practice well in the public gate.

There are many books in the inner house, all-encompassing, in addition to the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and interpretation, there are other works of the sages of the hundred schools of thought, and Cao Xu is fascinated by it.

The Song people love books and love learning, and since the founding of the country, the imperial book collection compiled by the edict of the Son of Heaven has more than 100,000 volumes. Among them, the most famous is the magnificent "Taiping Yulan".

In order to compile the imperial books of the emperors of the past dynasties and the collection of imperial documents, the government collected countless books from all over the world, and it can be said that eighty percent of the world's knowledge is hidden in the palace.

Cao Xu is really at ease in the sea of books these days.

In his spare time, he talked with Zhao Xu, Zhang Dian and others about the Tao and the scriptures, and in addition, when it came to governing the country, winning the war, agriculture and commerce, etc., he could also say something and hit the nail on the head.

Under the propaganda of the people in the new party, intentionally or unintentionally, the name of Qingxuan Zhenren in Drum Mountain quickly spread in the north and south of the river. After Cao Xu launched the manpower of the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands, he became famous all over the world and known all over the world.

Even the people in the old party who were suppressed by Zhao Xu, Zhang Dian and others, after coming into contact with Cao Xu a few times, had to admire his profound knowledge, which was really shocking to the past and the present.

In the Longtu Pavilion, Huang Shang, who had only been transferred back from Fuzhou not long ago, was holding a bundle of discarded bamboo slips, carefully identifying the words on it, and then transcribing them on paper to mark the places with doubts.

He had accumulated a thick stack of white paper in front of him, and although the job was very hard, Huang Sheng enjoyed it.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Huang Sheng raised his head, and after seeing the face of the person who came, he said, "I've seen Qingxuan Zhenren." ”

Cao Xu bowed slightly, a generation of grandmasters who were famous all over the world in later generations, but now he is working under his own hands, this psychological satisfaction is indescribable.

Huang Shang sorted out the stack of papers in front of him a little, picked it up, and said, "This is a volume of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" that has been proofread by the lower officials, and I invite a real person to check it out." ”

Cao Xu took the paper in Huang Shang's hand and said, "Has Master Huang ever learned the kung fu of breathing and nourishing qi?"

Huang Shang said: "Xia Guan only knows some methods of self-cultivation and longevity, internal and external skills, Taoist food guidance, although he has dabbled in it, he has never practiced it. ”

"Master Huang is too modest, do you sometimes feel that you are weak and weak these days?" Cao Xu asked with a smile.

"Yes, it is. Huang Shang said.

"Congratulations to Mr. Huang, you have studied hard day and night, and you have already obtained the true meaning of Taoism, as long as you are willing to ponder the classics of the sages with your heart, within ten years, my Taoist will definitely add another master. Cao Xu said.

"The real person praised it. Huang Shang said.

"In a few days, a Taoist real person will come to Tokyo, and if Master Huang has a heart, he can prepare early. Cao Xu said.

"Thank you for the point. Huang Shang said.

In June of the first year of Shaosheng, Shi Tai finally came to Tokyo City under Cao Xu's repeated invitations.

"You kid, you have repeatedly disturbed the purity of the old way. After meeting, Shi Tai scolded with a smile.

"I want to search for Taoist testaments in the world and compile Taoist collections, so I specially asked Shi Zhenren to help. Cao Xu said.

"What does this have to do with Lao Dao?" Shi Tai asked puzzled.

"I wonder if Shi Zhenren is interested in the classics of the various sects of the world?" Cao Xu asked with a smile.

When Shi Tai heard this, he immediately reacted, "haha" smiled, and said: "I said that you kid is not good at cultivating in the mountains, what are you doing at the feet of this son of heaven, so it is, so it is." Okay, okay, I'll do that. ”

The two of them got together and discussed for a long time, this time pulling the tiger skin of the imperial court, and they were determined to get all the Taoist books collected by all the Taoist factions in the world.

The matter of handing over the Taoist book to the imperial court, the various factions of the Taoist sect have encountered it not once or twice, and some classics that have nothing to do with cultivation and only talk about health preservation are handed over to a resounding name.

It's a pity that among the imperial army that levied the Taoist book this time, Shi Tai, who knew the roots of each sect and faction, was in charge. In order to further his cultivation, Shi Tai sold all the old bottoms of all the sects of the Daomen.

Heavenly Master's Mansion, Shangqing Sect, Lingbao Sect...... , except for those really inconspicuous small doors, none of the others escaped.

There are many hidden masters among the various sects of Taoism, but who dares to blatantly oppose the most brutal and violent institution in the world, the imperial court, can only pinch their noses and admit it one by one.

Although the cultivation methods that each faction finally submitted to the imperial court were all dealt with, some things that pressed the bottom of the box, such as the "Five Directions and Five Old Elders Lingyuan Sutra" of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain, and the "Secret of the Hundred Gods Mixed Emperor" of the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan Mountain, would not be handed over under any circumstances.

Although Shi Tai knew these things, he could only turn a blind eye and did not persecute too much. Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, not to mention these Taoist sects that have a lot of power.

After running for more than three months, Shi Tai, who returned to Tokyo City, flipped through the dozen or so pamphlets in front of him with great interest, muttering to himself: "This time it was really sent, I came to the door to ask for a loan on weekdays, and every time I touched the ashes of my nose, now I got them all, and young people just dare to think and dare to do it." ”
