Chapter 471

Ye Chen said: "I still haven't taken the crucial step towards becoming a great master. I don't know how senior can help me?"

Bei Mingzi stroked his beard and said, "I can't do anything about this matter, but maybe my little friend can get some inspiration from the patriarch."

Ye Chen's expression changed when he heard the words, and he said, "Patriarch? Could it be that what the senior said is Lao Tzu?"

Bei Mingzi nodded, "It's the patriarch Li Er."

"Hasn't the Taoist patriarch already traveled to the immortals? Could it be that he is still in the world?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

Bei Mingzi smiled and said, "Of course the patriarch is no longer in this world, but he left one thing behind, which may be useful to you."

Hearing this, Ye Chen also became interested, and immediately said: "I don't know what it is? Can I have the honor to take a look?"

"Also please invite the little friend to come with the old man, just take a look and you'll know."

Bei Mingzi said with a smile, and then walked towards a direction filled with mist.

Seeing this, Ye Chen also followed, he was very curious about what kind of things the legendary Lao Tzu left behind.

Speaking of this Taoist patriarch, he is quite a legendary existence.

About 300 years ago, Lao Tzu was born in Chen Guoku County.

Its appearance is different from that of ordinary people. It is weak and has a big head, broad eyebrows and wide ears.

Because the ears are longer and larger than ordinary people, it is named "Dan".And because he was born in the Year of the Tiger in Geng Yin, his relatives and neighbors call him Little Li.

This little raccoon means little tiger.

Because people in the Jianghuai area often call cats Lier, which sounds the same as Li Er.So over time, Lao Dan's nickname "Li Er" became his big name Li Er, and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Li Dan was intelligent since he was a child, quiet and eager to learn, and often pestered his family to hear about the rise and fall of the country, the success or failure of wars, sacrifices and divination, and star observation and observation.

Later, Mr. Shang Rong, who is proficient in Yin and Shang rites and music, was invited to study astronomy and geography, as well as ancient and modern literature.

Three years later, his knowledge surpassed Shang Rong's. Later, under the recommendation of the old man, he entered Zhou's capital city and continued to study in depth.

After Li Dan entered the Zhou Dynasty, he met many doctors with profound knowledge and entered the Taixue.

Astronomy, geography, and human relations are all proficient, and "Poetry", "Book", "Yi", "Calendar", "Ritual" and "Music" are all comprehensive.Cultural relics, laws, and history books are all learned, and they have made great progress after three years.

Later, the doctor recommended him to be an official in the Tibetan room.

The storage room is the place where many national classics are collected. It collects the texts and books of the world, and it is full of everything.

Li Dan is in it, like a dragon swimming into the sea, the sea is wide with the dragon leaping, like an eagle spreading its wings to the blue sky, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.Began to sleep and forget food and study.

With extensive observations, he has gradually reached a better state, understands the source of ritual and music, and understands the purpose of morality.Three years later, he moved to the post of Shouzang Shi Shi, and his reputation is well-known far and wide, and his voice spreads all over the world.

Li Dan has lived in Zhou for a long time, his knowledge is getting more and more profound, his reputation is getting louder and louder, and he has won the great respect of many scholars.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, people like to call those with profound knowledge and noble conduct "Zi", so in order to show respect, people call Lao Dan "Lao Zi".

So far, Laozi has become famous all over the world and has become the object of worship of many scholars. Even Confucius of Confucianism once asked him for advice.

Not only that, in addition to literary attainments, it is said that his cultivation is also extremely advanced.

Known as the existence closest to a fairy for hundreds of years, if someone really achieved the legendary ascension, it must be him.

Just when Ye Chen thought of this, the two of them had passed through a vast mist and entered a hidden cave.

The cave looked a little dark.

After walking forward for a while, after turning the corner, I saw a beam of light shooting down vertically from above.

Looking up, you can just see the scorching sun hanging in the air.

This is also the only place in the entire cave that is the same as the outside world except for the entrance, and it is also formed naturally.

Looking in the direction where the beam of light fell, I saw a lifelike stone statue standing upright.

What this stone statue presents is an old man with a kind face and a book in his hand.Under him was riding a strong green bull.

Seeing this, Ye Chen seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Could it be that this stone statue is Lao Tzu?"

Bei Mingzi nodded and said: "That's right, when the Patriarch went west to Hangu Pass, he met Master Yin Xi, so he accepted him as a disciple and taught him the method of cultivation."

And this stone statue was carved by Master Yin Xi himself.

Hearing this, Ye Chen understood.

Speaking of Yin Xi, he is also a remarkable figure.

This person was fond of observing astronomy and reading ancient books when he was young, and his cultivation was profound.

It is said that Yin Xi's eyes have the essence of the sun, which is the watch of the sun.

I like to study profound books such as Tomb, Suo, Su, and Yi.In addition, he is good at astronomy secret latitude.Looking up and looking down, there is no one without insight, not practicing common etiquette, concealing virtue and practicing benevolence.

Later, because of his experience in mountains and rivers, he built a grass building in Zhouzhi County, Zhongnan Mountain, Yongzhou, and thought deeply about Taoism.

He used the building to watch the stars, so he called his house Louguan.After the king of Zhou heard about this, he worshiped him as a doctor.Later, he was recruited as a guest of the Eastern Palace.

One day, Yin Xi saw the purple air in the east and the astronomy and auspiciousness in the west, and knew that there was a sage who should pass through the pass to the west, so he applied for a post in Hangu Pass and waited there early.

Finally met Lao Tzu, and worshiped the master, seeking the way to become a fairy. .

And Lao Tzu was not stingy, because the two were destined, he passed on his spells and left a book.

And this book is the "Tao Te Ching", known as the supreme classic.

After receiving the inheritance, Yin Xi practiced hard while sorting out Lao Tzu's works and wrote a Taoist classic. He also wrote a book called "Guan Yin Zi" based on his own experience.

Became another great Daoist master.

Ye Chen looked at the stone statue in front of him, raised his hand to stroke it lightly, and unconsciously, a strange feeling arose spontaneously.

It was as if he had been attracted by an indescribable attraction, and his mind gradually fell into it.

Everything around slowly distorted, continuously blurred, and disappeared, leaving only this stone statue in sight.

But at this moment, the stone statue actually started to move, and with a sound of "moo", the young man wagged his tail and walked forward without haste.

The old man on the back of the bull also moved a bit, put down the book in his hand, and looked up into the distance.

Ye Chen followed his line of sight and saw a long ancient road and a tall and majestic pass.

Here is Hangu Pass hundreds of years ago!

At this time, suddenly there is a gathering of purple clouds in the east, which are [-] miles long and shaped like a flying dragon, rolling from east to west.

Hearing a faint voice from heaven and earth:
"Purple Qi travels thirty thousand li from the east, and the sage travels west through this place. The green bull slowly carries the old man, and hides and mixes the vitality..."
