Chapter 266: Shanmen realizes swordsmanship, and the bookstore has changed
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to climb the mountain gate, Yang Tuo was standing on a big rock on the edge of the cliff outside the mountain gate, breathing in and out, gathering the aura of the mountains and rivers and the essence of the rivers.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. His incarnation is now the ultimate golden immortal. As long as the time is right, he will step into Taiyi.
No matter how much he vomits now, he won't be able to make much progress. However, it can also be used as a means to regulate his body and mind and relax his mood.
As soon as the middle-aged man stepped onto the mountain gate, he saw a man with an immortal spirit and a sword-like eyebrow and starry eyes regulating his breath on the big stone.
He hurriedly took three steps and two steps at a time, and walked quickly to Yang Tuo. However, Yang Tuo was meditating with his eyes closed, so he did not dare to disturb him, so he had to stand aside.
Yang Tuo had already sensed it, but he did not open his eyes. He just followed the steps and breathed in slowly. After a long time, he slowly stopped.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man stepped forward to salute and said: "I have met my senior!"
Yang Tuo just observed this person carefully. Although he was dressed in a strange way, his face was calm and his expression was restrained.
Yang Tuo nodded slightly and asked, "Who are you? Where do you come from?"
The middle-aged man bowed again and replied: "Student Xu Xing is from Chu State!"
Yang Tuo asked again: "Why?"
"Students heard that there is an academy beside Mount Tai, where sages teach knowledge and educate all living beings."
He paused for a moment, then asked carefully: "Senior, may I ask, is this Taishan Academy?"
Yang Tuo heard that his name was Xu Xing and already roughly knew the whole story. He didn't rush to answer Xu Xing, he just pointed back and said, "Just wait and see!"
Xu Xing followed the direction of Yang Tuo's finger and saw that the road ahead was hazy and obscured by the richness, making it completely unclear.
However, with Yang Tuo's pointing, the thick fog couldn't help but disperse, and only a road of several hundred meters could be seen, leading directly to a mountain gate.
Xu Xing looked up and saw four big characters above the mountain gate. The characters were like silver hooks, like dragons and snakes dancing.
Xu Xing took a closer look and saw that it was the four characters of Taishan Academy. As he was observing, he felt that the four characters seemed to be shaking.
He was stunned for a moment, and in a daze, he felt a shadow shaking. It seemed like it was dancing with a sword, and he was immediately fascinated.
When Yang Tuo saw Xu Xing staring at the plaque of Taishan Academy, his heart sank. He had carved these four characters himself on the day the academy was built, and left a sword meaning in them.
To him, it was just a casual backup, but for these ordinary people, it was a huge opportunity.
Anyone with some understanding can learn something from it. Either they can get some sword skills, or they can understand some sword techniques.
If you really have a genius, it is not impossible to understand the method of cultivation. As for what you can understand, it depends not only on your understanding, but also on chance.
Yang Tuo didn't know what Xu Xing would learn from it. He took advantage of the time and calculated the Xu Xing using Ziwei Dou Shu.
After some calculations, Yang Tuo was able to determine that this person was Xu Xing, a farmer in history and a sage of the farm family.
Based on the calculation, this Xu Xing is not the reincarnation of some great power, but came into being at the right moment. It is destined to leave a mark among hundreds of schools.
Looking at these lines, Yang Tuo remembered the "Nongshu" and "Almanac" he had originally written. Over the years, he had promoted them intermittently.
But agriculture is a long-term process, and it cannot be developed just by giving a few words in a short time.
It needs to go deep into the fields, integrate among the people, and teach it bit by bit. And this teaching needs to be appropriate, and cannot destroy the seedlings and encourage them to grow.
However, Yang Tuo has been busy practicing, or else he is on his way to practice.
In addition, there are too many types of Taoism that he needs to practice, and no one can complete them in a short time.
So much so that he delayed such important matters. Now, he writes history books and has chosen a path for himself.
The two books of the lunar calendar are even more distant. He put these two books into the Royal Library, hoping to find a home for them.
However, over the years, some people may be able to understand some of the methods of agricultural grain production, but no one can inherit this method.
Now, the arrival of farmer Xu Xing at Taishan Academy may be an opportunity. However, he still needs to observe the specific situation and whether Xu Xing can shoulder this important task.
While Yang Tuo was thinking, Xu Xing, who was immersed in the handwriting, couldn't help but move.
His body was swaying, and his hands were waving unconsciously. At the beginning, his movements were still jerky.
As time went by, he became more and more proficient. His fingers were slightly bent, forming a sword-like shape.
While dancing, air currents slowly surrounded it. With every move, every move, every movement, there was a sound of breaking through the air.
His momentum increased from small to large, from weak to strong. In the end, the sky was filled with sword shadows, and countless sword energies crisscrossed his hands.
The movement at the mountain gate soon attracted the attention of many students in the academy, and they all knew what was going on.
Students kept coming out of the lecture hall and looking at the dancing figure. Some were envious, some sighed, and some ignored it.
After a long period of management, the academy is no longer the deserted appearance it once was. In the Royal Library, Yang Tuo also collected many letters, all of which are the essence left by the human race.
These slips can be said to cover everything, including literature, art, crafts, miscellaneous arts, etc. There are also Taoist scriptures, Buddhist scriptures, and even martial arts slips.
Many books that Yang Tuo thought were very simple were also found in the Imperial Library. The students who came here had begun to consciously fill them with slips of letters.
Many more were written by students in the academy. Obviously, they realized the role of communication.
Today's Royal Library is still divided into three floors. Among them, Yang Tuo used great techniques to expand the space.
It doesn't look big from the outside, but once inside, no matter how many people there are, it won't feel crowded.
Among them, the lowest layer contains ordinary slips. These slips record knowledge and can make people wise, but they cannot make people practice.
The second level is some code of practice. Some of them have been collected by Yang Tuo over the years, and some students have also obtained them unexpectedly.
Although it is possible to practice, it is very superficial. If you want to enter the Tao from now on, you may not be able to, but you can still lay a foundation for future development.
As for the third level, it is not an ordinary practice method. It contains some fundamental methods, which are the Tao.
There may not be a specific method of practice, but it is the written carrier of the great road. Those with talent and intelligence can learn the practice method by themselves without a teacher.
Among them are the "Shen Nong's Herbal Classic", "Lunar Calendar", and "Historical Records" that Yang Tuo added, and later supplemented by "Huang Ting Jing", "Tao Te Ching", etc.
They are all mantras that explain the great path, but none of these tablets contain specific methods of practice.
Many of Yang Tuo's Dharma are not included in it. Because this is just an academy, Taoist ancestors said: Dharma should not be taught lightly!
