Chapter 2225 Daozang
Liang Yan pressed down the escape light and came to the entrance below the ancient pagoda.
A Taoist priest walked up to him, saluted him and asked, "This Taoist brother looks strange to me. Is he the new disciple of my uncle?"
Liang Yan chuckled and said: "I am not a disciple of Xuanling Cave Heaven, but I can be considered a member of the Taoist sect. I am here to help discuss Taoism in the virtual realm."
The Taoist looked astonished after hearing this: "Your Excellency, you are Liu Xundao, right?"
"How do fellow Taoists know?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
"Haha, do you still need to ask? There are very few outsiders who are qualified to participate in the Void Realm Discussion. You are the only one in our Xuanling Cave. This matter has already been spread."
"I see……"
Liang Yan nodded slightly, but sighed in his heart.
Now, it’s hard to keep a low profile...
Sure enough, the Taoist said again: "I heard that you had a fight with Senior Brother Han on the first day you came here?"
Liang Yan took one look at the man's expression, his thoughts changed, and he immediately smiled and said: "I didn't mean it, it was just that Fellow Daoist Han wanted to test me, so I had no choice but to take action. As the master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Fellow Daoist Han is of course far superior to me in magical power. "
The Taoist smiled half-smilingly: "Fellow Daoist Liu is too humble. I heard that you washed your sword out of Huang Ting's interior scene and made Uncle Han lose face. This matter has been spread to everyone. …”
Seeing that Liang Yan was about to explain, he waved his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to explain. Although Uncle Han and I are from the same sect, I have always been displeased by his domineering behavior. Now someone has finally dampened his spirit. I just didn't expect it." It’s you who is an outsider.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan said no more and took out the token given by Shen Biyou.
The Taoist inspected it carefully for a moment, nodded and said: "It seems that Junior Brother Shen really values you, and even gave you this token... Anyway, since you have the token, I can let you in, but there are a few There are some rules you must follow.”
"This is natural. Fellow Taoist, please elaborate."
"First of all, this token can only allow you to enter the first to fifth floors of the Sutra Pavilion. Once you reach the fifth floor, you can't go up any higher, otherwise you will be killed by a large formation. Don't blame me for not reminding you then."
"Secondly, even if you have a token, you can only enter the Sutra Pavilion once a month, no more than half an hour each time, and you can't read more than five secret books."
"The last one is that you must make a great oath from your inner demons not to reveal what you have learned. Otherwise, you will die and you will never be reincarnated."
After hearing this, Liang Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "I think this Sutra Pavilion has seven floors. I wonder what's so mysterious about the two highest floors?"
The Taoist replied: "Above the fifth level are the holy-level exercises, and below the fifth level are the exercises we practice."
"I see..." Liang Yan nodded, and then asked, "I heard that the Taoist sect has a unique teaching called "The Book of Wuwei Taoism". Is it in this scripture collection pavilion?"
"Wuwei Dao Jing?"
There was a hint of surprise in the Taoist's eyes. He looked at Liang Yan again for a moment and asked, "Where did you hear that?"
Liang Yan thought in his mind and made a call: "It's a good friend of mine. He is a descendant of a cultivation family. It is said that there are records in his family's classics that are full of praise for the "Wuwei Dao Jing"."
These words are 70% true and 30% false. They are about the owner of Xuanji Island, Bai Xiaoji, but Bai Xiaoji is not Liang Yan’s good friend.
After hearing this, the Taoist said calmly: "This friend of yours must have a family background, because the "Wuwei Tao Jing" was created by a senior many years ago. This senior did not leave any descendants, so even in my Among the Taoist League, there are very few people who know the "Wuwei Tao Jing".
"Then this "Wuwei Tao Sutra"..."
"Don't think about it. The "Wuwei Dao Jing" is a holy-level exercise, and it is not with us. It is now stored in the Dao Alliance main altar."
"At the main altar?"
Liang Yan felt a little disappointed and couldn't help but ask: "I am very curious about this technique. Is it possible that I will never have a chance to see its mystery in this life?"
The Taoist pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Of course there are opportunities, but the conditions are very harsh... First of all, our Taoist sect must win this virtual realm discussion. Secondly, you must perform well enough in the virtual realm that brings disaster to the world. The number of boundary stones obtained must be at least among the top three to be eligible to go to the Dao Alliance General Forum to select techniques. "
"It's really difficult... I'm not very lucky. It seems that I won't have the chance to see the mystery of the "Wuwei Dao Jing" in this life."
Liang Yan sighed, and then saluted the Taoist: "Anyway, I would like to thank you Taoist friend for clarifying my doubts."
The Taoist smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are gifted with extraordinary talent and are the seed of sword cultivator. Why should you aim too high? The only important thing is to follow the path at your feet! If you have unfavorable luck and become a saint in the future, you don't need to learn the "Wuwei" "Tao Jing".
Although Liang Yan knew that what he said was for the occasion, he smiled and nodded.
"Can I go in now?"
"Of course you can, but you need to make a vow of inner demons before entering for the first time."
"clear."
Under the guidance of this person, Liang Yan made a great oath of inner demons, promising not to reveal the Taoist secrets he had learned.
Subsequently, several Taoists cast spells at the same time, opening the ban on the Sutra Pavilion for him.
"Thank you very much."
Liang Yan bowed to all the Taoists, and then stepped into the attic.
I saw a vast cave sky inside, with countless white clouds floating in the sky, and a secret book of exercises suspended above the white clouds.
Unlike Confucianism, there are no classified bookshelves here, and there are no labels on the outside. What you get depends entirely on fate...
"The Taoist sect is so lazy!" Liang Yan complained in his heart.
He did not stay on the first floor and quickly went up to the fifth floor, because according to the Taoist outside, the higher the floor, the better the quality of the corresponding skills.
The fifth floor has relatively fewer skills, but they are all mysterious skills that have been carefully selected.
Liang Yan knew that time was running out, so he searched for a while on this floor and finally selected five secret books, namely: "Ziwei Shensuan", "Bagua Jing", "Xuandu Tongmai Fa", "Yin Yang Explanation", and "Tai Chi Guiyuan".
These five secret books are not cultivation methods, nor are they secret techniques for killing enemies, but like the works of "Nine Palaces" and "Xinxue" of the Confucian League, they are the basic theoretical doctrines of Taoism.
For those who are eager for quick success and want to improve their strength in a short period of time, it is impossible to choose this most primitive classic.
Because studying these things is like talking about war on paper. Even if you understand more, you can't use them in actual combat without the cooperation of magical skills.
But Liang Yan is different.
With his current strength, the skills and secrets below the saint level are useless. What he needs is this most primitive thing.
The most basic thoughts of Taoism and Confucianism, and the understanding of the great way of heaven and earth, can help him find a new way in the swordsmanship!
At this moment, Liang Yan was like a tireless seeker of knowledge, reading the secret books in the Sutra Library of Xuanling Cave Heaven, and unknowingly immersed in it...
Time passed in a flash.
In a blink of an eye, the time limit was almost up.
Liang Yan closed the last secret book, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"So that's it... The so-called 'carrying yin and embracing yang, and rushing qi to make harmony', this sentence summarizes the entire Xuanling Cave Heaven cultivation system!"
He has a good understanding and saw the most critical point at a glance.
As the saying goes, "one yin and one yang is called Tao", and this yin and yang Tao is the way of balance.
Most of the skills of Xuanling Cave Heaven have positive and negative poles, yin and yang complement and restrain each other, and cultivators must balance these two forces in their bodies. As long as the balance is right, the supernatural power will come naturally, otherwise it will burst the dam for thousands of miles and make it difficult to move forward!
This point is somewhat similar to the characteristics of Liang Yan's living dead.
As long as you understand the basics of the Yin and Yang, you can understand a little bit when you look at the supernatural powers of Taoist monks.
For example, Shen Biyou's "Xuanqing Immortal Qi" seems ethereal and unpredictable, but it actually contains both positive and negative sides, because the cooperation of Yin and Yang produces Tai Chi power, which can dissolve the opponent's supernatural power.
"All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, loss is benefit, and benefit is loss. This way transcends the way of heaven and is not among the three thousand laws!"
This is the last sentence in "Tai Chi Guiyuan", which also summarizes what Liang Yan learned today.
But he still couldn't understand, or it was hard to believe.
"Loss is benefit, benefit is loss? How is this possible! Is it my blessing if I was killed? And my cultivation and proof of the Tao is my disaster?"
Liang Yan was muttering to himself, but the surrounding space was violently fluctuating.
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+书_吧 is the first published novel.
A transparent vortex appeared beside him, and his figure immediately became distorted, and then was sucked into the vortex and disappeared in an instant.
"Time is up!"
Liang Yan knew that half an hour had passed, and the Sutra Library had rejected him and wanted to teleport him out.
Sure enough, as the surroundings spun around, Liang Yan's feet landed again, and he was already standing at the door of the Sutra Library.
"Daoyou Liu, did you gain anything?" The Taoist asked with a smile.
Liang Yan's mind was in a trance, and it seemed that a hundred years had passed in the short half an hour in the Sutra Library.
He shook his head and forced himself to gather his mind, so that he could come back to his senses in the shortest time.
"The abyss of the Tao is unfathomable! I am like a mayfly observing the world, sighing at the mystery of the Tao..." Liang Yan sighed with heartfelt emotion.
After hearing this, the Taoist laughed and said, "The fact that you can have such a feeling shows that you have opened your eyes and are a hundred times better than ordinary people!"
"Brother Taoist, you are too kind." Liang Yan shook his head.
"Anyway, it's good to have some gains. But your chance this month has run out. If you want to enter the Sutra Library again, you have to wait until next month." The Taoist reminded.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance. I'll take my leave now."
"No need to see you off."
The two of them clasped their fists and bowed. Then Liang Yan used the escape light and left the Sutra Library.
Not long after, he returned to his valley and sat on a cushion by the tree. He was still a little absent-minded. His mind was filled with the mysterious Taoist principles he had just seen.
"The way of yin and yang seems simple, but in fact, it has thousands of changes..."
Liang Yan had a strong interest in his heart.
In the following time, he did not go anywhere. He just meditated in his cave and analyzed the book he read word by word.
This sitting lasted for a whole month!
During this period of time, many things happened in Xuanling Cave Heaven, but Liang Yan was always immersed in his own world and had no idea what was happening outside.
This morning, he finally woke up from his meditation, opened his eyes, and yawned lazily.
"Not bad, not bad, this trip to the Taoist sect has also yielded a lot! Thanks to Shen Biyou's help, it seems that I have to contribute more to this virtual realm discussion, otherwise I can't repay this favor."
He stood up from the river, brushed off the peach blossoms that fell on his body, turned around and left the valley again.
A month has passed, and I can enter the Sutra Library again.
It is said that there are 3,000 Taoist scriptures. Although the five books I read last month are profound, they are only the tip of the iceberg. It would take decades to read through the Taoist scriptures.
Liang Yan certainly could not read through the Taoist scriptures, but he wanted to absorb as much essence as possible so that he could transform it into what he needed in the future.
After leaving the valley, Liang Yan went nowhere and went straight to the Sutra Pavilion.
When he got there, he found that the Taoist guarding the Sutra Pavilion had been rotated. Unlike last month, the Taoist on duty this time had a cold face and made things difficult for him.
But Liang Yan had Shen Biyou's token and argued with reason. Although the Taoist was unwilling, he could do nothing about him.
In the end, he could only open the ban indignantly and let Liang Yan enter the Sutra Pavilion.
Liang Yan knew that this Taoist should have a good relationship with Han Bo. Last time in the Incense Burning Hall, he made Han Bo lose face, and he would definitely not let it go.
It's just a little bit of a nuisance now, but I'm afraid there will be more troubles waiting for me in the future...
"Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it! Shen Biyou and Han Bo have too deep a conflict. If you choose one side, you will definitely offend the other side. This is inevitable. In comparison, Shen Biyou is easier to get along with."
Liang Yan certainly wasn't afraid of Han Bo. He thought to himself and walked into the Sutra Library.
The Taoist Canon 3,000 was on the fifth floor. He was about to go upstairs when he saw a man coming down from upstairs.
This man was tall and thin, young and handsome, wearing a brocade robe, with long hair like ink, but a pair of snow-white eyebrows, which was incompatible with his young appearance.
When Liang Yan saw this man, his heart moved, as if he had a sense of it.
The man's eyes also looked at him for a moment. Although he didn't show any expression on the surface, there was a gleam of light in the depths of his eyes.
Neither of them spoke, and they just passed by in silence.
But after they each took ten steps, they actually stopped at the same time...
After a while, the man did not turn around, but slowly said: "May I ask if you are a sword cultivator?"
"Yes." Liang Yan admitted generously, and then said: "If I am not mistaken, you are also a sword master. I am afraid you have reached the sword state?"
"Hehe."
The man did not deny it and smiled slightly.
Then, the two turned around at the same time.
"I remember that Xuanling Dongtian did not practice swordsmanship. When did a sword master like you appear? May I ask which uncle or uncle are you the disciple of, fellow Taoist?" The man was also polite when asking questions.
Liang Yan smiled and said: "I am not a disciple of Xuanling Dongtian. I am here to help Xujing discuss the Dao. As for you, you should not be a disciple of Xuanling Dongtian, right?"
The man nodded: "Yes, my name is 'Baimei', from Yaoguang Dongtian."
