042 Read more and read well

Xiang Jiannan saw all the contempt of the warriors and quickly found an excuse to leave. His master and Mr. Li always had a lot to talk about, and staying by their side made both of them uncomfortable.

After leaving the incense hall, but not walking out of Ping'an Temple, Xiang Jiannan went straight to the small house in the backyard. He hesitated in front of his master's door when passing by it, then pushed it open and walked in.

I have basically finished reading the scriptures I got a few days ago, and I want to find some new ones in my master's room.

Most of the scriptures in Taoist temples are in the master's room, for no other reason than that the space is large enough. If we dig deeper, we will get into the issue of the master's image.

The master of a temple needs those scriptures to show off. If there are distinguished guests visiting, it can demonstrate his eagerness to seek the truth through practice. This is very important, so much so that when I asked about it for the first time, I thought what the master said was true and repeated it several times.

It's a mess, and you can tell at a glance that it hasn't been cleaned up again.

Striding over to the bookshelf, Xiang Jiannan saw that there were all kinds of things scattered around, except for the scriptures on the shelf which were neatly arranged. He had tidied them up once when he took the scriptures a few days ago, so these miscellaneous items were newly thrown away.

As Gao Yu'an's apprentice, Xiang Jiannan actually seldom helps him clean the room. He feels that this kind of thing can easily induce laziness and is extremely detrimental to his master's practice. The master and apprentice have always followed the principle of comfort and have never been serious about such issues.

Going with the flow is the true nature of Taoism. As long as they can find a place to stay, it doesn't matter whether it's messy or not. A clean heart is what they pursue.

Why are these scriptures so thin? I have this feeling every time I come to the bookshelf. Xiang Jiannan picked up a scripture and flipped through a few pages.

There is a reason why I can finish reading a sutra quickly. In addition to the fact that I can read ten lines at a glance, the bigger reason is their thickness. Compared with the previous books that were ridiculously thick, the sutras in Ping'an Temple seem not heavy enough.

Some of them only have a few pages and can be read through in just a few breaths.

The texts on these scriptures were not printed, and the handwriting was different. They were all done by hand. Sometimes he even felt that the person who copied them must have been lazy, which made each scripture look so concise.

Of course, this idea does not stand up to scrutiny. After all, the Tao Te Ching in the previous world only has more than 5,000 words in total.

After seeing so many books as thick as bricks, I still feel uncomfortable sometimes when I suddenly come across these little cuties.

Pick a few thicker ones first.

Xiang Jiannan kept searching around the bookshelf, and was not very satisfied after picking up several scriptures. In fact, every scripture was the same to him now. The difference lies in whether he can take a closer look at it.

After all, that cool feeling comes with the scriptures. The more content there is, the longer it will last. Based on my own experience, the thicker the scriptures I take home, the better.

When I have nothing to do at night, I read a few pages and I feel relaxed and happy. I have the feeling that something is gathering in my chest every time I read the scriptures. After a long time, I even feel lost when I put down the scriptures.

I have also wondered what would happen if I kept reading the scriptures. Experiments have shown that doing so will only make my eyes gradually become distracted. I can't understand the content in the first place, and if I do it deliberately for a purpose, my interest will soon fade away.

If you try hard but end up not achieving your goal, this behavior will only result in getting twice the result with half the effort, which is the same as when you were studying.

The order of the multiplication of Haoran Jing, Bowuzhi and Fajing should be the same as the previous books, all of which are long discussions.

The Pure Sutra, Zuo Hua Lun, Wu Zhen Pian. Too thin, no need to read! Yin Yang Fu Zhu, Lei Fa Ji, Fundamental Fu Lu Chuan. A bit interesting, but probably difficult, choose first and take a look later.

Erotic Picture Collection, Real Record of a Girl Coming Out of the Bath, Thirty-six Postures of a Beautiful Woman, etc., etc., there is also this kind of thing! Xiang Jiannan was almost at the end of a long row of scriptures. He did not select several books at this time. He wanted to change another row and pick them directly according to thickness, but he inadvertently made a new discovery.

There is such a book hidden in the master's room! What an old Taoist priest, he hides it well! Who talks about self-cultivation every day, why didn't I, Xiang Jiannan, find out earlier!

Xiang Jiannan locked several books in succession with almost trembling heart. His heartbeat was accelerating as he held them in his hands. He turned around and saw that there was no one standing at the door. He packed up everything and left the house immediately. After entering his own room, he locked the door and chose a darker angle before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and took out the "scriptures" hidden in his sleeves, looking at the names first to avoid taking the wrong ones. There were five books in total, all of which were what he wanted.

It's unbearable to look at, it's simply intolerable to the world! Not in a hurry to read the contents, Xiang Jiannan just looked at the name on the cover again and again. He liked the excitement of opening up a new world. The longer he held back, the more excited he would be when he opened it!

The feeling now is completely different from the previous world. After experiencing hundreds of gigabytes of cultural exchanges, I didn’t expect that I would have the opportunity to return to shyness.

I thought the wave of big data had already made me numb, but a few small notebooks suddenly proved that the excitement had always been there.

This is probably the difference between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the original world. In a new environment, the calm heart might start beating again.

"Chapter 1 - The First Form of Thirty-Six Postures"

Xiang Jiannan opened the cover with a completely critical attitude, and was immediately dazzled by the chapter titles inside and swallowed his saliva.

The content was straightforward, but it lacked something. Based on the knowledge I had gained from accidentally hearing it, this kind of art must have its name clearly written before each chapter. Serious books and periodicals would also mark it from time to time. Wasn't it popular in the Zhou Dynasty? But it didn't matter. Anyway, I always focused on the content.

"The Taoist said: Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty. Everyone knows that goodness is goodness. Therefore, existence and non-existence are mutually generated, and difficulty and ease complement each other."

What the hell is this! The picture was not as good as he had imagined. After turning the page with trembling hands, Xiang Jiannan's expectant expression was instantly dashed. He felt that the content in front of him was very familiar. It was not a painting, but only words. At first glance, he did not recognize them. He read them all together before reluctantly continuing to turn the page.

The content did not disappoint him. It was the same as the previous page, followed by the third page, the fourth page, and then quickly turned over. Shameless! Gritting his teeth, Xiang Jiannan closed the Thirty-Six Postures of the Beautiful Woman. He had a lot of resentment in his heart but nowhere to vent it. He did not expect that there would be clickbait in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was disappointed, but he could not express his emotions freely. This kind of thing that aroused both humans and gods must have been done by the master. It was obvious that he was playing a trick on him. It was outrageous.

He did not lose his mind. After checking the other "scriptures", Xiang Jiannan felt that there was a conspiracy. He did not know what to do with the "scriptures" in his hand. After thinking for a long time, he finally looked at the door.

He wanted to return the scriptures quickly because they were not to his taste.

It is better to find some scriptures with normal names to read, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. The contents of these scriptures are too profound. Even if you can read ten lines at a glance, you will not be able to read them at all.

Hmm? Just as he stepped to the door, Xiang Jiannan wanted to raise his hand but couldn't. As a burst of light appeared, he saw the Bagua suddenly appeared in front of him again, this time attached to the door frame, and the water line on the edge of the Yin-Yang fish was spinning.

After a moment, water drops dripped into the area of ​​the word "精", followed by a variety of mixed sounds interweaving in the mind, and accompanying them were faces with different expressions.
