This method is originally searched in the mysterious world. If the three thousand great ways and all kinds of doors are not formed by the comet heart, all kinds of means will always be empty.

The Tao can be told, the extraordinary Tao, the so-called extraordinary method, uses extraordinary methods to achieve extraordinary results, and there are dangers and difficulties, and extraordinary people can hope for it. It is like a boat without wisdom, crossing the mysterious sea, and letting you use thousands of clever methods, and the gains are nothing in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the end of the day...

In the early 1990s, the book market had just opened and many books were not found, let alone books about Taoism. But even if it was difficult, it would not hurt me.

Who told my mother to be the administrator of the library? And she is also a flower in the library. How many administrators of the opposite sex like to please her?

When I arrived at the library, it was like stars holding the moon. The books in the library were not visible to ordinary people, but I could read them. If I could read them, I would borrow them at will. This era has begun to talk about relationships. In order to practice Taoism, I have used relationships to the extreme.

During these two or three months, I would go to the library every Sunday. When my mother was there, I would pretend to read some study books. Anyway, the winter vacation exam was coming soon, so in order to make my mother happy, I had to get a good score.

When my mother was not on duty, I secretly ran to the inner library. Uncle Liang, who was responsible for managing the inner library, had a gentleman agreement with me that I would not tell my mother about reading books. Although he was very surprised why I always like to read thick old books, when I was young, he once pursued my mother but was unable to get it. He treated me as his own child. Not only did he not ask me, but he also sent soda and snacks from time to time when I was reading books, and his logistics work was done very well.

Another Sunday, I found a reason to run out of the monk, came to the library, walked into the library and saw that Uncle Liang was tidying up the bookshelf. Hearing my footsteps, he turned around and looked at me, and smiled and said, "Oh, our primary school scholar is here again? Xiaodong, you have to tell me today, why are you reading some metaphysical books all day long? Don't be influenced by these feudal superstitious books, if you let your mother know..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Liang, I'm just watching and playing, how could it be affected?" As I said that, I took out a photo from my body and handed it to him mysteriously: "This is what I promised last time, I'll give it to you Uncle Liang."

"Ah, this is..."

Uncle Liang took the photo and looked at it, and he was immediately excited.

This is a photo of my mother when she was young, and I stole it...

"I'm sorry, mom, for your precious son's plan to practice Taoism, you can only suffer aggrieved..." Seeing Uncle Liang put his mother's photo into his arms with great care, I couldn't help but think of a sentence from Grandpa Jin Yong's novel: "Ask the world, what love is..."

"Xiaodong, I've found it for you. I'll put it on the table over there. You can watch it slowly..."

Uncle Liang shook his head and turned around and left. In his opinion, I must not understand these books. It was just a child who was messing around. Once the freshness passed for three days, he would naturally give up.

I ran to the table and saw that, "What a guy, there are two piles of books. If they are piled together, they will be taller than me. There is no way, read it slowly."

During this period, I have read a lot of Taoist and Buddhist books, such as the "Tao Te Ching", "Zheng Yi Sutra", "Qimen Dunjia", "Yin Fu Sutra", "Diamond Sutra", "Mahapra Nirvana Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", "Perfect Enlightenment Sutra", "Lankavatara Sutra"... There are a lot of messy things, and the result is summarized into three words - I can't understand...

These books are all a problem. They are written vaguely, and they are unwilling to explain the method of practicing Taoism thoroughly. Although I am a genius boy who has been transformed by the merit book of the world, I don’t have to worry about people like this, right? Taoism is a little better. I don’t know what the Buddhist books are talking about. They are written one by one, but the result is that I have a golden look on my eyes...

So a few weeks ago, I temporarily put aside Buddhist scriptures and devoted myself to studying Taoist books. However, the Taoist things are also messy. Some are more mysterious and mysterious theories, while others talk about refining internal and external medicines. Fortunately, some are relatively simple, which are to record some mantras, ask gods to write spirits, draw talismans and catch ghosts, and drill into the wall to hide. I tried several times according to the book, but none of them worked.

I seriously suspect that some of the Taoist books were just nonsense. After a few weeks, let alone sorting out the methods of practicing Taoism, I was almost tortured to become mentally ill.

Later, I pestered Uncle Liang for a long time and agreed to give him a photo of my mother. He told me that there is a set of "Daozang" that is the perfect collection of Taoist books. My hope is on this set of "Daozang", hoping that it will allow me to find the authentic method of practicing Taoism.

I just didn’t expect that there were so many books in this set of books, and it seemed that I had to study hard again.

But when I spent half a day and probably read it, all I got was disappointment...

The Taoist books included in "Daozang" are very complete, but they are just a hodgepodge, mixing books from Taoist celebrities from ancient times to the present, each with its own methods and theories. Just like Grandpa Fan said, some are contradictory, and at my level, I can only read them but not understand them. If I continue to read this way, I will not be able to achieve enlightenment in eight hundred years!

Forget it, go home!

I think what Wang Zhan’s father said makes sense. If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. Thinking too much is not torture yourself? Fortunately, I can let it go, otherwise I will be obsessed with just reading books.

"You carry the load, I lead the horse, and welcoming the sunrise..."

When I got home, Grandpa Fan also came back from the bathhouse. As soon as the family had dinner, the familiar music on the TV started to play. When I heard the theme song of Journey to the West, I had no worries and sat in front of the TV.

My father, Grandpa Fan and grandfather, and also supporters of Liu Xiaolingtong, saw that Journey to the West started, they pushed away their jobs and sat in front of the TV like me, widening their eyes.

My mother looked at us angrily and amusedly, and muttered, "It's so small, the old one is so young. I really don't know what's good about this monkey movie?" She cleaned up her dishes and went to the kitchen.

This episode is about the Monkey King Sun Wukong crossing the sea to find Master. After countless failures, he finally arrived at Fangcun Mountain in Lingtai, the Three Star Cave of the Shaking Moon. After Master Bodhi accepted him as his disciple, the peaches in Rotten Peach Mountain were red for seven times and Wukong ate them seven times before the master was willing to preach.

On TV, Bodhi Patriarch talked about the way of art, the way of quiet, the way of movement, etc. Sun Wukong just asked: "Can you get immortality?"

The ancestor shook his head and said, "It's like watching flowers in the mirror and catching the moon in the water." Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "If you don't learn, don't learn..."

Seeing this, my heart suddenly moved. Isn’t the problem that Sun Dasheng encountered? I have also read Journey to the West before, but why did I forget this paragraph?;
Chapter completed!
