0385. Innate Invisible Body-Breaking Sword Intent
"Woof?! Little sister, I allow you to reorganize your language. What does getting fat mean? Does it mean being strong and agile?" Husky was very dissatisfied.
Generally speaking, the word "fat" is used to describe pigs.
"Huh? How dare you talk to me in this tone? Hehe, general, you've become swollen after you learned how to speak." Wang Shiyu ran over and grabbed the back of the husky's neck. He started to rub his neck.
She used to tease the husky like this when she was on Earth, and she knew the dog's weaknesses well.
Wang Shiyu's eyes narrowed into crescent moons while touching it, and she smiled with satisfaction: "Ah, so soft and slippery... Ah, so cute. Sucking the dog makes me feel so happy that I can't help myself."
"Ah, woof, let go... I am the White Wolf Emperor of the Prairie, and I also have dignity." Husky was anxious and struggled, but he couldn't get away. Because he felt guilty, he didn't dare to resist fiercely. In the end, , I can only silently endure the 'humiliation' of this weak woman. It is really miserable.
Li Mu laughed on the side.
At this moment, except for the awkwardness of the stupid dog's words, the scene seemed to be back on earth. After school, the sun was shining all over the campus. Wang Shiyu was laughing and teasing the husky, while she was laughing at the same time. Look... time is gone and never comes back.
Under such joy and laughter, everyone entered the inner courtyard of Daoyin Temple.
The surrounding buildings are all red bricks and green tiles, with a history of thousands of years and are antique.
The main hall of Daoyin Temple is called Wanshou Hall. It was built by the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty. The meaning can be seen from its name. When it was first built thousands of years ago, it took a lot of effort. The main hall is extremely high and has no nails. The wooden structure is gorgeous and exquisite in shape. After more than a thousand years of wind and rain, it is still extremely strong.
It enshrines several Taoist gods, as well as the spiritual tablets of successive emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Unlike other empires, the emperors of the Song Dynasty, regardless of their level of cultivation or length of life, could not reign for more than a hundred years. There are those who have been in power for a hundred years, even if they still have a long life, they will choose to pass on the throne and then become a monk. , enshrining his tablet in the Taoist temple.
However, as the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty moved southward over the years, the status of Daoyin Temple gradually declined. The Longevity Palace was no longer as magnificent as it once was, and it lacked a lot of maintenance. Therefore, layers of moss grew between the green tiles, and the wood There are some decadent grays and blacks on it, full of a sense of history.
Li Mu and others, led by Dao Qin, the master of Daoyin Temple, walked from the side of Wanshou Hall and came to the backyard.
The backyard is filled with life.
Almost all the Taoist priests in Daoyin Temple live in this area, where the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard, leisurely roosters and hens are chased by yellow dogs, and there are rows of neat rows of vegetables. Different fruits and vegetables are planted on different soil ridges. In the distance, a few Taoist priests rolled up their trouser legs and stepped on a waterwheel beside a pond to divert water to irrigate the vegetable fields.
Low tile houses are arranged in vertical rows under the stone cliff.
Among the tile houses, there is a courtyard of a monastery, which is well maintained. The pines and cypresses at the gate are carefully trimmed, the vermilion gate is clean, and the surrounding area is clean. This is a place used to entertain some royal guests on weekdays. Even though royal guests have become increasingly rare over the years, this tradition has been preserved.
Li Mu and others were all arranged in this jingshe courtyard.
After all, the Eighth Sage King was old and his cultivation level was not high. He was frightened these days and had been drugged once. Therefore, after chatting with Li Mu for a while, he soon became tired and fell asleep under the care of the maid. .
Everyone else also went to rest temporarily.
Li Mu was arranged in an extremely exquisite elegant residence.
He closed his eyes and rested in the room, trying to understand the meaning of the sword.
Today in the Yaowei Army camp, the Southern Fire Emperor's Qi Sword Intention he used has begun to take shape, and he has some understanding. At this time, when he is concentrating on deduction, Li Mu actually has some rough ideas in his mind. If you want to deduce a method of [Innate Invisible Body-Breaking Sword Intention], wait until the moment you think, the sword intention arises, and the invisible sword intention can kill the enemy, that is when the sword intention is first formed.
But now the sword intention he used was vague, and it was extremely effective against ordinary warriors. For example, when he killed the Yaowei Army today, with a thought, those elite soldiers turned into flames and ashes, but against [Gun Yokogawa Shuo] 】Du Luji, and later the killing of Jin Wang Zhao Chen, actually required close combat to be effective.
This is the shortcoming.
Li Mu is perfecting his imaginary method of [Innate Invisible Body-Breaking Sword Intent].
He concentrated his energy and deduced with great concentration.
Half an hour later, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his practice reloading.
"Let's go, let me show you a place." Wang Shiyu appeared on a husky and suddenly knocked on the door, speaking mysteriously.
The husky's tail was wagging like a fan, and his tongue was sticking out. He didn't know whether he was tired or hot, but he had a happy face, and his smiling eyes were almost squeezed together. He didn't know how he was coaxed by Wang Shiyu. When he stopped, he actually showed a posture of being willing to be ridden, which surprised Li Mu very much.
"Where?" Li Mu looked confused.
Wang Shiyu deliberately let it slip and said, "Let's go quickly. We'll find out when we get there."
After a while, she took Li Mu to the end of the house under the stone cliff, stepped on a path, and after turning a few turns, "Here we are." Wang Shiyu pointed ahead.
Li Mu saw that at the corner of the stone cliff, there were dark willows and bright flowers, and behind it was a flat land covering an area of about an acre, and a small stone temple that was not too big. It was hidden among the towering ancient pines and cypresses. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't find it. .
Come closer.
Li Mu saw at the entrance of the stone hall, a green bull statue lying on the ground, carrying an upright rectangular stone tablet on its back.
There are four simple earth characters in Yangzhuan on the stone tablet——
Tao follows nature.
Li Mu's eyebrows jumped.
Looking at the green cow lying on the ground again, he vaguely realized something in his heart.
Go forward.
The entire stone hall is carved out of rock. It is extremely complete. It is three meters high, three meters long, and seems to be three meters deep. I walked up the nine stone steps and arrived at the door of the stone hall. When I looked up, I saw a rock plaque. Hanging high on it, there are three big characters in Yangzhuan——
【House of Morality】.
Li Mu looked at Wang Shiyu.
Wang Shiyu said: "I have been here before, and after seeing these, I couldn't help but contact the ancient sage Lao Tzu on the earth, but to be honest, I didn't think much of it, thinking it was some weird coincidence, but, After hearing what you said about the ancient sages of the earth who opened up the path to immortality, walked out of the earth and stepped into the stars, I felt that maybe it was not a coincidence, so I thought I should bring you to see it."
Lao Tzu left Hangu Pass in the west, rode on a green bull, and rode on the purple air. He left behind the Tao Te Ching, the king of all scriptures on the earth. The Tao Te Ching contains the principles of self-cultivation, country governance, military use, and health maintenance. It emphasizes " The theme of "Inner Saint and Outer King" is "Tao follows nature", which are exactly the four words on the stone tablet carried by the green bull statue in front of the stone hall.
All this is definitely not a coincidence.
Li Mu realized that this Daoyin Temple was actually related to Lao Tzu.
But this is the royal Taoist temple of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family. Could it be that the Northern Song royal family back then was actually related to Lao Tzu?
But that's not right.
Prince Yu Hualong of Dayue once said that the Dayue Dynasty of that year was the empire created by the sages of the earth, and the three subsequent empires were established after the traitors split and destroyed the Dayue Dynasty. In other words, the West The three great empires of Qin, Northern Song, and Southern Chu were in an antagonistic relationship with Da Yue, the sages of the earth. From this perspective, the Northern Song royal family was also hostile to Lao Tzu.
Why was there a Morality Hall in the Royal Taoist Temple of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family?
Li Mu was puzzled.
He walked into the main hall and saw that the place in the center where the statue of the god was supposed to be enshrined was actually empty. There was no human statue on the lotus pedestal placed on the stone foundation. There were some knife marks and arrow holes around the pedestal, which was also beneficial. The marks of ax chops and traces of fireworks... do not seem to be original marks, but seem to have been deliberately damaged.
There was nothing else in the main hall, and the entire stone hall seemed very empty.
But Li Mu could see that the original appearance of the main hall should not be like this, but that everything inside had been destroyed and emptied.
"My foster father said that there were many relics and artifacts from before the Era in this Moral Palace, which were originally enshrined and kept by the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty. Later, when the capital of the Song Dynasty moved south, the status of Daoyin Temple declined, and many of the artifacts here were I moved it away and took it to the Taiyi Palace in Lin'an City. However, the Taiyi Palace was heavily guarded. No one else was allowed to enter except by special decree of the Emperor. I had no chance to go in. I didn't know what was going on inside. ." Wang Shiyu said on the side.
Li Mu nodded.
However, it was said that the Northern Song Dynasty royal family 'moved' things away. Why did Li Mu feel that the matter was not that simple? Judging from the traces at the scene, it looked more like a looting and robbery.
After wandering around the stone hall again and finding nothing else, Li Mu and the two had no choice but to leave.
However, when he came to the stone tablet with the green bull lying on its back, Li Mu stopped again.
Because it was only then that he discovered that there were actually writings engraved on the back of the stone tablet——
"The Tao can be explained, but it is not Tao. It can be named, but it is not named. It is the beginning of the unnamed heaven and earth, and it is named the mother of all things. Therefore, it is always non-existent, so as to observe its wonderfulness; it is always present, so as to observe its beauty. These two come from the same place. Different names, but the same name is Xuan. Xuan is another Xuan, the door to all mysteries!"
As expected.
This passage is the content of the first chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the King of Classics written by Laozi.
It is also the beginning of the outline of the Tao Te Ching.
When Li Mu was on earth, he read the Tao Te Ching.
At that time, under the coercion and inducement of the old magic gun, Li Mu read the classics of hundreds of schools of thought, just to memorize them and not to understand them. The old magic gun did not explain the contents, but in his spare time, he would like to read the classics of the Tao Te Ching. Extremely high, thinking it is the "beginning of the great road". Many times, the old magic stick read the contents of the "Tao Te Ching" loudly in Li Mu's ears, but at that time, I don't know why, Li Mu had no understanding at all. The angry old magician shouted loudly that Li Mu was a piece of wood.
At this time, for some reason, Li Mu suddenly felt a little dazed when he saw this line of words on the stone tablet.
He rubbed his eyes and was shocked to find that this line of writing seemed to be alive and started to swim on the stone tablet, and his whole mind was instantly drawn into the swimming writing. , ignoring everything around him.
