Chapter 325 "Yin Yang Note"
In a certain courtyard in the capital.
A scholar named Tang hurried back to the house, couldn't wait to spread the paper on the table, pondered for a while, and then began to write:
"In the second year of Jingping, the current situation was turbulent, the world was in chaos, and strange things happened frequently in the capital.
"In the summer of this year, a demon took advantage of natural disasters to wreak havoc on the world. It devoured the officials and treated the people like animals. The people escaped and went to the capital to seek help. However, the government was weakened and unable to respond. Only Lin Zhenren, Fan Tianshi, Pan Gong and Tao gathered together in the Immortal Mansion.
Wan, three Taoist priests Lei, and three Taoist priests from Zhenjian Palace went to Jinping to eliminate demons.
"The next day, a dragon boat came back from Jinping County, carrying the people back home. He said that he had been transformed by witchcraft and had changed into the shape of a duck. Fortunately, he was rescued by the Taoist priests of Juxian Mansion and Zhenjian Palace.
"A few days later, the real person came back on a stone horse and hung the head of a giant wolf in the market, as big as a fight."
After the scholar surnamed Tang finished writing, he deleted, deleted, and revised it.
After a slight hesitation, he wrote again and added:
"People tried to ask whether the Star Observation Palace can eliminate demons. Master Lin replied that the Star Observation Palace has little virtue and is unable to help."
The literati surnamed Tang made some further deletions.
And in today's capital, there are countless literati who are as fond of stories about gods and ghosts as he is, and they are all writing down this strange incident in their houses.
I just don’t know how many people can pass it on.
Even if ordinary people cannot write, they still write it down deeply, just waiting to be told and listened to by future generations.
I don’t know how many generations it can be passed down.
Lin Jue returned to the courtyard and looked up to see an egret standing on the crabapple tree.
The egret preened its feathers and looked down at the stone table.
There is a letter on the stone table.
Lin Jue picked it up and opened it and saw that it was from the junior sister.
The content was also very simple. After she woke up one morning, she found that the two stone horses were missing. At first, she thought they had gone to run and play in the mountains. However, they did not come back for several days, so she guessed that their senior brother might have stolen them.
What were they calling for, but they didn’t know where they were taken by their senior brother, so when they saw the egret,
I wrote a letter trusting him to bring him and asked my senior brother where he had gone.
After Lin Jue saw it, he also wrote a reply.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist."
Lin Jue poured out a small cup of spiritual liquid and fed it to the egret: "I would like to ask fellow Taoist to work hard again and bring my letter back to my junior sister, so that she will not worry."
The egret drank the spiritual liquid and felt very comfortable.
When its mouth is slightly open, its eyes are half-closed, and its wings and body are shaking, there is even a faint feeling of happiness.
Then he took the letter in his hand, spread his wings a little, and went straight up into the blue clouds.
Not long after, Fan Tianshi also came back, and what he brought to Lin Jue was a gold medal from Juxian Mansion.
"Friend Daoist Lin."
"This is-·
Lin Jue took the gold medal and looked at it carefully.
"I know that when my fellow Taoist comes back this time, he will definitely have a quarrel with the Star Observation Palace. In order to prevent the Star Observation Palace from getting in the way again, His Majesty came to the mountain to look for me a few days ago and asked me about the monsters in Jinping County.
Tao told him that the Star Observation Palace cannot eliminate demons, and only Taoist friends can do so." Fan Tianshi said, "So the next morning, Wu Lingshi from the Ministry of Rites sent Taoist friends' gold medals."
"Fellow Taoist, thank you for your trouble."
"No need to bother. Fellow Daoist Lin is the one who took the trouble." Fan Tianshi said, "I just don't know if the ancient book that Fellow Daoist Lin is looking for is still in the Cangzhen Pavilion."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jue was not worried about this.
Those Taoists in Guanxing Palace have been enjoying themselves for a long time, but they don't have any skills. They may not know what he is looking for.
Moreover, since he knew the Wood Escape technique, he could have entered the Zangzhen Pavilion. The reason why he never entered was because he wanted to enter in a dignified manner.
The reason is still that he doesn’t want the gods to find a place to attack.
Several scripture-storing pavilions in the Juxian Mansion have been enclosed in the Star Observation Palace. Apart from the fact that the Taoists in the Star Observation Palace may have some skills themselves, the more important purpose is to let the gods help take care of them.
Maybe there really are guarding gods among them.
It would be fine if Lin Jue's intentions were not big, but what he wanted was to achieve enlightenment, and what he wanted was immortality and immortality.
But these days, the Tianweng God System is decaying, and so is the Star Observation Palace. He will almost certainly take a different path from them.
Fortunately, gods are gods after all, and they are bound by morality and etiquette even more than human beings. There is also a deity above the celestial beings. No matter what the reason is, gods cannot do whatever they want.
That would shake the very foundation of the gods.
Therefore, what I have to do is to try not to give them any obvious clues.
Otherwise, there is no guarantee that they will not get in the way before you achieve enlightenment.
Now that he had won the gold medal in an upright manner, those Scripture-Tiding Pavilions did not belong to the Star Observation Palace, but to the Juxian Mansion. Lin Jue had found the book through Pan Gong before and determined how many books there were in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
The immortals and sages wrote annotations on the "Yin Yang Sutra". If the Taoist monks from the Star Gazing Palace took the book and hid it without authorization, then they would be the ones being unreasonable.
"But to avoid trouble, I'm going now."
Lin Jue didn't want to delay. After speaking to Master Fan, he took the gold medal and walked out immediately.
Fan Tianshi did not answer, but quickly followed him,
About two-quarters of an hour later, Lin Jue, who had just passed by the gate of the Star Observation Palace on a stone horse with a wolf's head hanging on his head, returned here unexpectedly.
The Taoists in Guanxing Palace rarely encountered dissatisfaction in their lives. At this time, most of them looked livid and looked at him gloomily.
Lin Jue, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.
Even seeing them like this made me feel even happier.
"Why are you fellow Taoists looking at me like this?" Lin Jue said to them with a smile, "Did you encounter something unhappy?"
"Why do fellow Taoists come to my Star Observation Palace?"
"Fellow Taoist, I have misunderstood. I am not coming to the Star Observation Palace, but to the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Juxian Mansion." Lin Jue said, taking out the gold medal, "Fellow Taoist, you are not going to stop me and not let me in, right?"
The Taoist didn't speak, he just turned sideways and made way for him.
"Haha! Thank you!"
In happiness, in a daze, there are even signs of progress in "persuading you to be happy" that has never been fully understood.
Lin Jue strode into the Star Observation Palace.
After passing through several courtyards, we walked to the courtyard next to the official office of Juxian Mansion, and several pavilions appeared in front of us.
Lin Jue did not hesitate, showed his gold medal, and went directly to Zangzhen Pavilion.
"oops--.."
When the wooden door opened, there was a smell of dust.
There was a faint flash of divine light inside, but it passed away briefly.
Lin Jue didn't care and started looking for it immediately.
He had asked Pan Gong to look for him before and knew the approximate location, so he headed straight there now.
He glanced over them one by one, looking at them very carefully.
Lin Jue saw some interesting books, some of which might even be related to magical powers, but this was not his purpose at this time, so he did not read more.
"Found it."
Lin Jue picked up three books in a row.
A "Yin-Yang Original Meaning" is the basis for the Lesser Yin-Yang method, a "Yin-Yang Commentary" is also the basis for another Small Yin-Yang method, and a "Yin-Yang Da Zhu" is the basis for the Great Yin-Yang method.
Lin Jue picked it up immediately.
Lin Jue blew some dust away.
The paper in the book looked unusual, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he just opened it.
The first sentence at the beginning:
"There are five natural Qi, the earth inherits yin and yang, the replacement of day and night, and the cycle of four seasons are all the ways of yin and yang——"
This sentence was very familiar to Lin Jue.
It is the content of the Yin and Yang Sutra.
After that, there is the sage's interpretation of this "Sutra" from his own perspective.
But Lin Jue discovered something -
Compared with the "Commentaries on Five Elements" that Wan Xinrong gave him, although this "Commentary on Yin and Yang" also talks about the application of the Tao of Yin and Yang, it is much more obscure and far less straightforward.
A person with talent and a foundation in spiritual practice can understand the spiritual method of the Five Elements by reading the "Commentary on the Five Elements". However, if he reads the "Commentary on Yin and Yang", it will be difficult to obtain the Great Yin and Yang method from it.
Even Lin Jue read a page and found that the mystery on it far exceeded "The Original Meaning of Yin and Yang", and there were many explanations that were completely contrary to the "Original Meaning of Yin and Yang", which made people feel that it was unreasonable and mysterious. It only gave him a kind of "Even if there are ancient books,
It is also difficult to understand the principles of the great yin and yang method and activate this page in the ancient book just by relying on this "Yin Yang Da Zhu".
"No wonder——"
No wonder the Great Yin Yang Dharma is so scarce.
Even if Taoists in the world come to this Zangzhen Pavilion, probably most of them don't know the Great Yin and Yang Dharma, and the remaining half don't know that the Great Yin and Yang Dharma comes from this "Yin Yang Da Zhu". Even if they know it, it's difficult to rely on this alone.
From this book, you can understand the profound and mysterious Great Yin and Yang Dharma.
Fortunately, Lin Jue knew.
Fortunately, his talent is not ordinary.
Fortunately, he still has ancient books.
And he even had another help. Lin Jue thought about it, took out the bag with a solemn expression, and opened it.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt a clear pair of eyes staring at him. When he turned around, he couldn't see anything.
"Sure enough, there are gods watching over—"
I think he was probably just a little god with little supernatural power.
Lin Jue felt calm and didn't care, because he took out the bag not to take the book away, but put his hand into it, groped for a while, and carefully took out a scroll.
The scroll is unnamed and handwritten.
Because the paper used is ordinary paper, it has become a bit worn after several years of weathering.
Lin Jue cherished it very much and opened it with great care.
But not only because this book records the mistakes made by an experienced Taoist, as well as his insights and speculations on the Great Yin and Yang Dharma based on these mistakes, but also because it was left to him by his master.
After opening it, there were small writings all over it.
Lin Jue put the two books together and read them.
After reading a few pages, he looked back and realized that Fan Tianshi was still standing beside him.
"Fellow Taoist, have you found what you want?"
"I found it. Thank you fellow Taoist for coming with me, but I'm afraid I have to stay here for a while, so I won't go back with you." Lin Jue said, "I also ask fellow Taoist to go back and tell Mr. Luo that he doesn't want to go back."
I’m worried, if fellow Taoist is free, please bring me some food.”
"good."
Fan Tianshi agreed and then left.
Lin Jue simply took the "Yin Yang Zhu" and the scroll left by his master to the window and continued to compare and read.
This sight makes me so mesmerized that I lose track of time.
That night, Fan Tianshi brought him food and even tea.
It was the same for the next few days.
Chapter completed!
