Chapter 395 The Enlightenment of the Tao Te Ching
Lin Xiao did not lose his temper with the old naughty boy, and turned over the "Tao Te Ching" in his hand.
After all, countless martial arts skills have evolved from Buddhist, Taoist and even some Confucian classics!
For example, the second volume of the "Nine Yin Manual" that Lin Xiao obtained is the same, and the "Shen Zhao Jing" is also the same.
Another example is his senior brother Xiaoyaozi. According to legend, he also learned the unique skill "Beiming Sheng Gong" from the Taoist classic "Nanhua Sutra".
As the king of all scriptures among Taoist scriptures, this "Tao Te Ching" is even more profound and obscure than his senior brother's "Nanhua Sutra".
Lin Xiao opened it and looked through it carefully.
It's not like he hadn't read this in his last life, because there were many clues about NPCs in the Taoist quest plot that would be related to this book.
But as my understanding increased in this life, when I read it again, I actually had a different feeling!
[When you read the Tao Te Ching, you feel something in your heart and gain a special skill: Taoism]
I ignored the appearance of this special skill. To a large extent, it was of the same nature as the Buddhist Dharma I obtained in the Sutra Pavilion of Shaolin Temple!
While flipping through the pages, Lin Xiao's palm had already turned to the next article:
["Tao Te Ching·Part 1 of Tao Te Ching·Chapter 7"]
【Forever. 】
"The reason why the heaven and the earth can be long-lasting is because it does not generate itself, so it can live forever. It is because the sage comes after his body and comes first, and his body exists outside his body. Isn't it because he is selfless? So he can achieve his selfishness."
In the final analysis, this chapter was only a few words, but it left Lin Xiao stunned.
Between heaven and earth, it seems that there is nothing in the world anymore, only a few crosses on this extremely obscure book!
But just these few crosses made Lin Xiao feel as if he was possessed by a demon. He could no longer move his gaze.
This is an indescribable feeling. From this moment on, nothing in this world can attract Lin Xiao's eyes!
Zhou Botong was stunned, looking at Lin Xiao falling into this state of infatuation, scratching his ears and cheeks.
He wanted to go up and take a shot, but he was afraid of ruining the opportunity for this boy who, despite his strong martial arts skills, had a good temper!
Although he didn't know what kind of opportunity this could be.
It’s not like Zhou Botong has never read the Tao Te Ching. It can be seen that he was able to create the seventy-two ways of Kong Ming Fist in the Tao Te Ching!
But it seems that he didn’t reach Lin Xiao’s situation back then...
"Boy, let me just take a look, just take a look..."
Muttering in his mouth, Zhou Botong stood behind Lin Xiao and glanced quietly.
["Tao Te Ching·Part 1 of Tao Te Ching·Chapter 7"]
What's this?
For more than ten years, Zhou Botong almost only practiced martial arts in the cave.
Even out of boredom, I specially developed this "art of left and right fighting". I have read the "Tao Te Ching" from front to back at least a few thousand times.
Not to mention Chapter 7 of the first volume, he can even recite the entire "Tao Te Ching" from top to bottom!
Naturally, he also knows the content of Chapter 7.
But what could be in it?
He doesn't know!
But Lin Xiao can indeed feel something from this article!
I don’t know how long it took, but Lin Xiao came back to his senses. The Taoist scripture in front of him was still the Taoist scripture.
He glanced at his attribute column.
No changes were found. If I had to say it, it was just that the [Tao method] that I had just comprehended had actually directly reached the fourth level!
Other than that, there is nothing different...
Lin Xiao withdrew his mind and looked at Chapter 7 of the Tao Te Ching again:
【Forever. 】
"The reason why the heaven and the earth can be long-lasting is because it does not generate itself, so it can live forever. This is because the sage comes after his body and comes first, and his body exists externally. Isn't it because he is selfless? Therefore, he can achieve his selfishness."
Lin Xiao's eyes slowly focused on the four words "everlasting".
He seemed to have thought of something and took out another book from his arms!
The book was extremely thin, and the paper on it was even a little yellowed, but the nine large characters were still extremely clear:
"Eternal Immortality Eternal Spring Kung Fu"!
Lin Xiao frowned, and then opened the book on the miraculous secret internal skills that he had long ago received from the Tianshan Child Elder, but had never read through it!
Sure enough, in the opening chapter of "The Everlasting Eternal Life Eternal Spring Kung", these few dozen large characters are also clearly written!
Isn’t this the content of Chapter 7 of the first volume of the Tao Te Ching? !
Is that all?
Lin Xiao asked himself, the feeling just now was too mysterious!
It almost reminded him of the feeling he had when he first entered "Jianghu", when he was in Tianmen Town, and was prompted by the nameless old beggar to enter the secret realm and obtain the "Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon".
This wonderful feeling cannot be explained to outsiders at all——
Wonderful and speechless!
Although there was no realization after getting rid of this feeling, Lin Xiao believed that there was definitely something hidden in it!
But when he saw the "Eternal Eternal Life Eternal Spring Kung Fu", Lin Xiao frowned.
If it was just this unique skill, it would really disappoint him.
Lin Xiao sighed. Unfortunately, he didn't know whether it was because his special skill [Tao Method] was too low in level or because his understanding had not reached a certain standard. He could only have a little exposure to it, but there was no substantial gain.
If not, you can take a closer look to see what the secret is hidden in Chapter 7 of the Tao Te Ching, which is known as the "King of All Scriptures"!
Lin Xiao had a vague idea, but the appearance of the "Eternal Life Eternal Spring Kung Fu" made him confused, and he was a little afraid to confirm it!
Seeing him sigh and put away the Tao Te Ching again, Zhou Botong came over in disbelief:
"Is it possible that you have learned some peerless martial arts in this Taoist scripture?"
Looking at the old naughty boy's expectant eyes, Lin Xiao shook his head, and then nodded:
"It's almost the same, but it's still a little bit worse!"
That's right!
Just a little worse!
Lin Xiao wondered if he could make a qualitative breakthrough in his special skill [Tao Method], or if his understanding could be improved to a new level, maybe he would be able to understand some of the secrets inside. Otherwise, if he had just learned about this You won’t feel this way!
It's a pity that it's not possible yet...
Lin Xiao sighed.
Zhou Botong looked suspicious, with uncertainty and suspicion in his tone:
"What did you really read from this Tao Te Ching?"
As he said that, he took the scripture directly and turned it to Chapter 7. He looked left and right, but he didn't see anything.
"Boy, are you lying to me?"
Lin Xiao smiled:
"My senior brother once understood martial arts from Taoist scriptures. Many of my martial arts are closely related to Taoism. Why are you lying to me!"
"Is the previous bet still worth it?"
Zhou Botong thought for a moment: "Okay! If you kid can prove that your martial arts skills are higher than this "Nine Yin Manual", it would be okay for you to take a look at the first volume of "Nine Yin Manual"!"
