Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 7
Bidding farewell to his cheap master, Jiang Xuan walked out of the courtyard, first exchanged a few words with Zhu Zhihua who had been waiting outside the courtyard, and then followed Yao Guang, the vice president of the Taoist academy, to the Daoji Hall, preparing to become a Daoist.

Recalling the loss in Zhu Zhihua's eyes, Jiang Xuan could only sigh with emotion that Luo Hua intends to follow the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, you and the dean seemed to have a good chat just now?"

Walking to the front of the hall, Yao Guang suddenly asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan just smiled:
"Maybe Master thought of something happy."

"Well, Dean..."

"Huh? Master?"

Yao Guang almost tripped himself while his footsteps faltered.

Seeing his unbelievable expression, Jiang Xuan just nodded indifferently:

"Master just accepted me as a closed disciple, and I'm going to hold a disciple acceptance ceremony when I return to the mountain next year."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan didn't care about the wonderful expression on Yao Guang's face, and went straight into the Taoist Hall.

………………

An hour later, in front of Library Pavilion.

Jiang Xuan got off the carriage, looked at Yao Guang who was waiting in front of the Library Pavilion, and showed a funny expression:

"President Yao, is there anything else?"

Yao Guang immediately waved his hand when he heard the words:

"Deputy, deputy."

After speaking, he replied:

"I don't think it's my first time entering Zangshu Pavilion, and I'm not familiar with the environment of Zangshu Pavilion, so I'll be your guide?"

"But little friend, are you coming here in a carriage?"

'Such a small library still needs the vice president as a guide? '

While feeling emotional in his heart, Jiang Xuan also said:

"Master agreed that I should go home to practice Taoism, but also asked me to read Taoist classics frequently at home, so I plan to bring some Taoist scriptures back home."

"Dean Yao, can you?"

"Deputy, deputy."

"Since it's the dean's approval, it's definitely possible."

"It's just that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the Sutra Pavilion, do you need me to help you move the classics?"

Looking at Yao Guang who kept showing his kindness, Jiang Xuan nodded decisively:

"Then thank you, Dean."

Yao Guang waved his hand quickly:

"Deputy, deputy, you must not make a mistake, little friend."

"I'm crazy about how old you are, if you don't mind, just call me brother."

"Then thank you, Brother Yao."

"Thank you? It should be!"

After laughing and talking, he entered the Library Pavilion, and after Yao Guang waved the guards to retreat, he introduced it to Jiang Xuan himself:
"Look, little friend, the two rows of bookshelves are filled with spells, heretics."

"This row of bookshelves is full of ideas."

"This row is for body training, that is, the method of refining the body."

"This is the Heart Sutra of Enlightenment."

"Taoist classics, legends and records, are all on the second floor."

"Little friend, what are you going to take this time?"

Yao Guang, who turned his head halfway, fell silent.

I saw Jiang Xuan, who was holding a stack of books in his hand, poked his head out from behind the books, and said with a serious face:

"It's all here, I'm going to take some back."

After saying that, he walked out of the library with a stack of books in his arms, and put them in the carriage.

Looking at the carriage that took up a lot of space, Jiang Xuan muttered to himself:

"Although Zangshuge is small, there are quite a lot of books."

"It seems that you still have to pick it up, and you can't just take it as before."

"Choose more useful ones this time, and pick up the rest after reading this batch."

Outside the pavilion, Jiang Xuan was muttering to himself, and the guards inside the pavilion also approached Yao Guang:

"Third Uncle, there is a regulation in the Daoist Academy that a Daoist can only buy three Taoist scriptures or exercises or spells at most in a year."

"Cultivators who enter the Taoist realm can only buy 20 copies a year, and only those who enter the Xiantian realm can buy unlimited copies."

"This person has a very natural face, is it from a foreign innate realm?"

"purchase?"

Yao Guang glanced at his nephew angrily:

"Let me tell you, he is a direct disciple of the dean."

"Even if he empties out the library today, he doesn't need to pay a penny!"

"Finally, spread the news to me, and let others call me the deputy dean in the future, and don't call me the dean again!"

Yao Cheng was stunned, then pointed to the east:

"The one who has accepted disciples?"

"What's the background of this guy?"

"Do you think?"

"Before I came here, I asked in person, can there be fakes?"

"As for this one, his surname is Jiang, and he's from Lingtai Town below Sixi County."

"The other deans don't want to say more, so you don't ask too much, and be careful that the misfortune comes out of your mouth."

Yao Cheng nodded, then rubbed his face, and with a sincere smile on his face, he trot to Jiang Xuan who walked into the library again:

"Jiang Daochang, the little Yao Cheng is the nephew of Vice President Yao, do you need the little one to help you?"

Looking at the bowed guards, Jiang Xuan was silent.

He wasn't like this when he came here before.

Shaking his head secretly to suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart, Jiang Xuan smiled at him and nodded:

"Then I will trouble Brother Yao."

After speaking, he came to the bookshelf where the classics of enlightenment were placed.

Then, he narrowed his eyes.

"Suihui Heart Sutra", "Qinghui Heart Sutra", "Taiyi Heart Sutra", "Taichu Heart Sutra", "Taishi Heart Sutra", "Taisu Heart Sutra", "Taiji Heart Sutra".
The brand-new Entrance Heart Sutras are piled up on the bookshelf, exuding an indescribable atmosphere.

Picking up a book at random, Jiang Xuan found that it not only contained formulas for entering the Tao, but also experiences written by predecessors.

However, those opinions are not consistent, and the words before and after are even tit for tat. It can be seen at a glance that these annotations are not written by the same person.

"Do you have the Heart Sutra for entering Dao with the Qi of the Five Tailors?"

Looking at the Enlightened Heart Sutra on the bookshelf, Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered:
"What would happen if I used my golden finger to introduce all the Qi of Wutai into my body?"

"When you advance to the Xiantian realm in the future, you will be able to have the Xiantian Wutai?"

"I don't know if I will explode myself."

"It doesn't matter, try it first."

While thinking, Jiang Xuan put the Wutai Heart Sutra and some other Enlightenment Heart Sutras into the hands of the guards.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, haven't you already induced Qi into your body? Why do you take so many Enlightened Heart Sutras?"

Jiang Xuan smiled and explained:

"Master said that the Heart Sutra of Entrance to Taoism is the foundation of all kinds of miraculous skills and the origin of Taoism. There is no harm in reading more."

"So I thought about taking some more Heart Sutras back home, to see if I could draw inferences and broaden my horizons."

During the conversation, Jiang Xuan came to the bookshelf where the refining method was placed:
"Brother Yao, can you introduce me to the refining method?"

Yao Guang, who secretly remembered what Jiang Xuan said before, immediately stepped forward, pointed to the bookshelf and introduced:
"The refining method is actually similar to the martial artist's physical training method."

"It's just that the martial artist's body training method focuses on combat power, while the refining method of our ascetics pays more attention to self-cultivation."

"For example, martial arts such as "Iron Cloth Shirt", "Golden Bell Cover", "Dragon Elephant Strength", etc., are all ways to integrate moves and body training."

"If these exercises are not cultivated to a certain level, not only will it be useless to the body, but it will also leave hidden wounds and shorten the lifespan."

"But the refining method of us ascetics is different."

"The refining method was created by the ancestors to see the things of longevity. From the beginning, it was to prolong life."

"The efficiency of body training, although the power of the same realm is far less than that of warriors, but they can live longer."

Having said that, Yao Guang pulled out a book from the bookshelf:
"Like this "Green Pine Jue", after getting started, people are like green pine, and their energy will always be in their young and middle age."

"No matter how old you are, you can be full of energy, and you can stand up to the sky every morning."

"There is also this "Turtle Breath Jue", which was created by the predecessors watching the turtle."

"Although the tortoise has a nose, it breathes in its ears, and when it sleeps, its breath comes out through its ears. It is called the tortoise's breath, and it will live a long life."

"Practice it and prolong your life. Ordinary people can live for 20 or [-] years."

"I heard from the dean that Xiaoyou values ​​affection, and maybe he can give it to his family to practice."

A trace of surprise appeared on Jiang Xuan's face appropriately:
"Isn't it forbidden to teach others to practice the exercises of the Taoist monastery?"

Yao Guang smiled and shook his head:

"That was during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen."

"If the royal family really refuses, where did the inheritance of those big families come from?"

"Xiaoyougui is the principal's disciple, so he can naturally teach some exercises to his family."

"Don't worry, no one dares to question."

"That is, if the family members of the little friend are talented enough to entice them into the Tao, they still need to come to the Taoist Academy to become a Taoist."

Jiang Xuan nodded when he heard the words, and immediately chose some refining methods and then wandered around the book pavilion again.
