Chapter 1 One Page Book

"Knowing its male, guarding its female, is the world's stream. ”

"Knowing its whiteness and guarding its black is the world's style. ”

"Know its glory, guard its humiliation, for the valley of the world. ”

Ye Zhiqiu lay idly on a chair, holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching in his hand.

Ye Zhiqiu is 24 years old this year, and he is an ordinary graduate student in a key university in China, but unlike other graduate students who are busy with experiments or field work, his graduate career is not tense, so he still has the leisure to read Chinese classical classics. The words that came out of his mouth just now are the content of the twenty-eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching.

Ye Zhiqiu is a person who likes ancient Chinese books, and he always has a trace of different ideas from others about the various ancient books that appeared in Chinese history in the past, and even has some fantasies. He always fantasized about finding out some other things from ancient books, such as the ancient method of cultivating immortals.

The Tao is very good, and it is very good. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous.

Ye Zhiqiu felt that if he could write about the existence of this kind of "Dao", if he really had a practice, he would definitely be a great cultivator in the world. It's a pity that five thousand years have passed to the present, and I have never heard of a person who has cultivated to become an immortal. Now, he has opened his eyes wide and read the Tao Te Ching over and over again, but he can't see any exercises.

"The avenue is difficult to understand, the end of the law era. ”

Ye Zhiqiu read the twenty-eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching for a long time, muttered to himself, and didn't even dare to speak out loud. Because if this is heard by other senior brothers, they will definitely be ridiculed, and they will be labeled as "middle two".

People are not in the second vain boy, but at the age of twenty-four they are still in the second year, that is, pretending to be tender and a little stupid.

"I want to be high-profile, but my strength doesn't allow it. ”

Ye Zhiqiu read the small words in the twenty-eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching again, and remembered that there was a novel in which there seemed to be an exercise related to these small words, which should be the legendary "Tianxia Xi Shen Finger", the practice practiced by a big fat man in the realm of knowing his fate.

It's a pity that this still has nothing to do with him, if he can comprehend what "Tianxia Xi Divine Finger" can comprehend according to these words, then wouldn't he be able to comprehend the condensation technique of a certain artifact "Xuanqi Gate" according to "The Gate of Xuanqi is the Root of Heaven and Earth"?

Just think about such a thing, you can't even say it out loud, at most it's just a few verbal mutters. When others heard the question and muttered something, they had to be righteous and awe-inspiring, or say with a sad face: "This question is too difficult, I can't do it!"

"The World of the End of the Law!"

Ye Zhiqiu put down the Tao Te Ching, got up from the chair, and came to the window. The scenery in the distance is not beautiful at all, the sky is overcast, there is not a single blue sky, and the occasional smoke blows through, which seems to charm the human eye.

In his big city, the smog is really bad.

"It is rumored that in ancient times, the whole world had aura, and those qi practitioners devoured the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, obtained great magical powers, and lived a long life. The so-called south of Chu has a ghost, with 500 years old as the spring, with 500 years old as the autumn; in ancient times, there were people with great chun, with 8,000 years old as the spring, 8,000 years old as the autumn, if what the "Zhuangzi" said is true, that era is really an era that people yearn for infinitely, unlike today, not to mention the aura of heaven and earth, even if there is really a way to swallow the aura, absorb a mouthful of haze, that taste, the thief is sour. ”

Ye Zhiqiu saw the haze in the sky and sighed faintly.

It is rumored that absorbing the aura of heaven and earth can increase longevity and obtain supernatural powers.

But if you absorb the haze of heaven and earth, you are only afraid of going mad and falling into the devil, and then you will directly "ascend" if you cultivate.

Of course, the "ascension" here is, more precisely, a death from poison.

"Although I haven't cultivated immortals, but if you think about it, you must need a material foundation, there is no aura, only haze, and you can cultivate a hairy immortal, let's eat!"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, went down the stairs, and went to the cafeteria.

He didn't have a class today, but he got up very early, and after eating breakfast, he looked at the "Book of Changes" and "Tao Te Ching" in the hospital office, and this time, more than two hours passed, and he was a little tired from reading, so he naturally wanted to eat.

"Tao Te Ching" is actually good to read, although it reads a little mysterious, but it can't stand it with few words, the whole "Tao Te Ching" has a total of 5,000 words, plus the annotations of all the families in the past dynasties, it is still quite fast to read.

The Book of Changes is different, in the Confucian classics, it is respected as the "head of the six classics", and in the Taoist classics, it is also regarded as the "crown of the three mysteries", which can really be regarded as "the head of the group of classics, the source of the avenue".

Of course, it is also notoriously incomprehensible, and there are very few people who can really understand and explain this book clearly, from ancient times to the present, there are a vast number of treatises on the Book of Changes, and each family tries to interpret the ideas contained in the Book of Changes from the perspective of their own feelings, but few succeed.

Ye Zhiqiu's "Book of Changes" has many explanations, such as "Biography", "Xiang Chuan", "Wenyan Chuan", although he has read it for a long time, he is still not familiar with other hexagrams, the most familiar is the Qiangua.

Dry is the sky, Kun is the earth.

Ninth day of the first month: Don't use the hidden dragon.

Ninety-two: See the dragon in the field, and see the lord.

Ninety-three: The gentleman works all day long, and he is violent, vigorous, and not to blame.

Ninety-four: Or jump in the abyss, no blame.

Ninety-five: The flying dragon is in the sky, and it is good to see the adult.

Shangjiu: Kang Long has regrets.

"I think if I am a hexagram, it should be the ninth hexagram of the first month. ”

Ye Zhiqiu walked idly on campus, thinking about his own business.

Chu Jiu Yao said that the dragon was hidden in the water and could not be in a hurry to move. Replacing the hidden dragon with a gentleman means that the yang energy between heaven and earth is still lurking underground, so the gentleman should live in seclusion. If the gentleman is replaced by himself, that is, the aura of heaven and earth has not recovered, the haze is in charge, what kind of immortal is there to cultivate, it is better to study honestly, and find a job in the future.

"I don't know if I can wait until I see the dragon in the field in this life, or the day when the flying dragon is in the sky!"

Ye Zhiqiu sighed again, ready not to think about these messy thoughts.

Because the cafeteria is already ahead.

But at this moment, he seemed to hear a being in the dark say a word: "As you wish." ”

Ye Zhiqiu felt that he might have an illusion that he wanted to cultivate immortals in his heart, or maybe it was he directing and acting in his heart, but then he found that something strange had happened.

A piece of paper fell from the sky.

It stands to reason that there should not be a high-altitude paper in front of the cafeteria, because it is a cafeteria, not a dormitory.

There can be paper in the dormitory, but the paper in the canteen is very peculiar.

And what is even more peculiar is that this piece of paper fell into Ye Zhiqiu's hand.

Immediately, the paper was gone.

In Ye Zhiqiu's mind, a page of the book appeared.
