Chapter 132: The City of Eternal Night, Concerto of Light and Shadow
This peace talisman was given to him by a guy who claimed to be an old man before his death. To be honest, he was curious about the things in the peace talisman. After all, the things that were placed must not be creatures, but they had wisdom that was not inferior to others.
Many times, it can understand Su Ye's emotions, know how to comfort people, and feel depressed and happy.
The old man was met by accident six years ago. At that time, he was broken and wandering on the streets. I wonder if it was because he was also an orphan, Su Ye felt compassion and took him back to his broken house.
To be honest, the old man actually looks much younger, at most middle-aged age, he always calls himself an old man, and Su Ye simply calls him that.
The old man seemed to have some skills. Since Su Ye and he depended on each other for life, their lives have gradually improved. The two were both teachers and friends, but Su Ye also knew that he could go to Qingyue Academy, which was full of guidance from the old man. Many difficult things became very simple in his words, making Su Ye suddenly enlightened.
It was just two years ago that the old man's old injury relapsed.
"Old man, I have lived for so many years, but I haven't seen anything? Boy, I know you have ambitions, but this world is far greater than you imagined. To be honest, I don't think about your qualifications, so I'll give it to you. It should be fine to keep you safe for the rest of your life."
"Remember not to take it apart. Old man, I have been studying this thing for half my life, but I haven't figured it out, let alone you, a little boy."
"This classmate, I'm sorry, just now..." The one who apologized to Su Ye was one of the people just now, named Zhang Jialin.
Su Ye glanced at him lightly and said, "I know, if you have nothing to do, I'll leave first."
Zhang Jialin was stunned. He originally thought Su Ye would complain or blame him, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't care at all.
"It seems that Su Ye is different from the rumors?"
It is said that Su Ye is a student with a very bad temper and a third-rate character. Perhaps many of the words are true.
For some reason, he felt a sense of indifference from Su Ye, and Zhang Jialin remembered his friend Minghui's previous words—
"Su Ye looks different from before..."
"It's probably because the senior year is about to be around, which stimulates him, but it's a pity. How can I catch up with others with a 16% fertility?"
Zhang Jialin sighed, this is the fate. Once he takes the wrong path, his future will be completely different. Su Ye's achievements will be destined to be an ordinary person in the future, and the intersection between the two is probably over.
The sergeant listened to the theory of Tao and tried hard to implement it; the sergeant listened to the theory of Tao and believed it and was skeptical; the sergeant listened to the theory of Tao and laughed.
If you don’t be ridiculed, it will not be enough to be the truth.
Therefore, those who made the words in ancient times said this: the bright way is like darkness; the moving way is like retreat; the flat way is like rugged; the noble virtue is like canyon; the vast virtue seems insufficient; the strong virtue is like laziness; the simple and innocent thing seems to be turbid and unopened. The whitest thing contains dirt; the square thing has no edges; the biggest sound sounds sounds silent; the biggest image has no shape.
The Tao is hidden without a name, and is nameless and silent.
Only "Tao" can make all things begin and end well.

The fundamental principles of Taoism, such as the best of goodness, respecting Taoism and virtue, and Taoism produces moral education, natural inaction, quietness and few desires, weakness and no struggle, and long-lasting view, all originate from the "Tao Moral Sutra". When the Taoist sect was established, the Taoist sect used the "Tao Moral Sutra" as the sacred scriptures and wrote "Laozi Xiang'er Notes", explaining the essence of Taoism and the principles of practice, and initially establishing a Taoist doctrine system, in the name of "Zhengyi" to show that the teachings advocated are the "Tao Moral Sutra" and the "Tao Moral Sutra" are fully utilized according to the "Tao Moral Sutra" sacred scriptures, or make necessary interpretations. The "Nanhua True Sutra" and "Chongxu True Sutra" respected by Taoism inherit the ideas of the "Tao Moral Sutra".
The Taoist ideas of practicing the body, being free from spirit, sitting and forgetting to maintain health, and changing gods and immortals are enriched and expounded, so that the Taoist doctrines that focus on rationality can be transformed into Taoist doctrines and doctrines under the inheritance and promotion of the high Tao in later generations, and the Tao of Taoism and the doctrines of Taoism are united with each other. The Taiping Sutra is based on religious education, and fully explains the creation theory of "Tao" in the "Tao" of the Tao of the Moral Sutra" and the doctrine of "The Way of Heaven to Reduce the surplus and make up for the shortcomings". The art of gods and immortals mentioned in Ge Hong's "Changxuan" should also belong to the Taishang Taoist system. The "Saving People" has the theme of "The Way of Immortals is valuable for life and infinitely conquer people", which embodies the fundamental principles of the "Tao of Moral Sutra". In short, the doctrines and thoughts of Taoism are fundamental to the "Tao of Moral Sutra", so Taoism respects the "Tao of Moral Sutra" as a holy scripture.
Time to write
According to legend, Lao Tzu practiced morality and wrote the first and second chapters of the book. Lao Tzu was already a man from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period. According to Taoist classics, Lao Tzu served as the History of Zhou Shouzang, and later moved to the history of the Zhuxia. When the Zhou Dynasty declined, Lao Tzu resigned from his official position and left. When the Hangu Pass was in Hangu Pass, the county magistrate Yin Xi begged him to write books and pass on the past, so Lao Tzu wrote more than 5,000 words, which was passed down through the ages. Most scholars believe that the existing popular version of Lao Tzu may have been written in the early stages of the Warring States Period after Confucius and Mo Di. Wang Bi's annotation, Fu Yi's first chapter talks about Taoism, and the next chapter talks about virtue. The silk book "Laozi" unearthed from the Han Tomb of Mawangdui, Changsha in 1973 is the first chapter of the "De Chapter" and the next chapter is the "Tao Chapter". The chapters are divided into chapters in the first chapter, and the titles of "Tao Te Ching" are all added by later generations.
The existing version of "Laozi" is based on the silk book A and "B". The text of A does not avoid the taboo of Liu Bang of Emperor Gaozu of Han, which proves that it was copied before Liu Bang became emperor. The version of B avoids Liu Bang's taboo, but does not avoid the taboo of Emperor Hui Liu Ying and Emperor Wen Liu Heng. It can be seen that it was copied before Liu Bang became emperor. The version of A and B are all divided into two chapters. At the end of this article, B marks 3041 words of "De" and 2426 words of "Tao", totaling 5467 words. The title of A is incomplete and unclear. Both books are not divided into chapters.
The "Laozi's Heshang Gong's Chapters" written in the Eastern Han Dynasty are divided into 81 chapters, the first chapter of Taoist scriptures, and the second chapter of Te Ching 44 chapters, the Heshang version is given the word "Ze Title" at the beginning of each chapter. The "Laozi Notes" of Wei Wangbi is divided into 81 chapters, and there is no title. Fu Yi compiled the "Ancient Edition of Tao Te Ching" in the early Tang Dynasty. According to Xie Shouhao's "Huanyuan Shengji" in the Song Dynasty, Fu Yi evaluated and counted the characters. Xiang Yu's concubine version, in the fifth year of Wuping in Qi, a native of Pengcheng opened the tomb of Xiang Yu's concubine to obtain it; Anqiu Wang version, Wei Taihezhong, Taoist priest Kou Qianzhi got it; Heshang Zhangren version, Qi Chushi Qiu Yue got it. Among them, Xiang Yu's concubine version still has a very high academic value to date. There is also a title called "The True Book of the Moral Sutra" written by Yan Zun at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and the chapters are quite similar.
