Seeking longevity from the world of Si Teng / Seeking longevity from the world of the Republic of Ch

"This Arhat is the incarnation of Senior Poor Dao."

"The Taoist master knows that Taoist?" Yuan Zhen asked in surprise.

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said: "That Taoist is a senior of my Taoist sect, and he gave a lot of advice to the poor Taoist. The poor Taoist just didn't expect that the senior not only has a lot of research on the road of Taoism, but also has such achievements in Buddhism."

Yuanzhen nodded, and didn't talk much about it.

After all, the incarnation of the Taoist god is a Buddhist arhat, which is not a glorious thing for them.

"Does the Daoist know the residence of the Immortal?" Yuan Zhen asked, changing the subject.

"A few days ago, senior lived temporarily in my Baiyun Temple, but he left Yunyou yesterday." Yuan Tiangang said.

"That would be too regrettable." Yuan Zhen sighed.

"It's over here, and it's time for Pindao to leave. Master, please send hello to Master Abbot on behalf of Pindao." Yuan Tiangang glanced at the leading old monk sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then said to Yuan Zhen.

"Why is the Taoist in such a hurry?"

"Senior's scene of crossing the catastrophe that day was too appalling. If the poor Taoists don't leave today, they may not be able to leave in a few days." Yuan Tiangang said truthfully.

Yuanzhen nodded, expressing his agreement with Yuan Tiangang's statement, and also learned the true strength of the Taoist, so he also saw the scene of crossing the catastrophe that day.

………………

A week later.

The former site of Hangu Pass.

The three of Qin Li came to this pass that was once famous all over the world.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao established Tongguan in the first year of Jian'an and abandoned Hangu Pass at the same time in order to prevent the military chaos in Kansai.

Standing on the loess, the original pass has disappeared, this is an ordinary place, there are no people, it is just a wilderness.

The reason why he took this road was suggested by Qin Li. He just wanted to come here to see if there would be any difference in this mythical Hangu Pass.

Standing here now, the city wall of Hangu Pass is no longer visible, and time has wiped away all traces of Hangu Pass.

Qin Li didn't feel much, because he had never seen the real Hangu Pass. The later Hangu Pass was rebuilt for the development of tourism after the reform and opening up.

But Zhong Liquan was different. He was from the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had seen Hangu Pass, but now that it disappeared, he felt somewhat different.

"This is not the Hangu Pass you're looking for. The Guguan Pass you're looking for is about five kilometers further north." Zhong Liquan said.

This is Weiguan, not Qinguan, that is to say, this is not the ancient pass where many historical stories such as "Laozi leaving the customs" happened.

The reason why Qin Li came here was because he asked others, and they all said that this is Hangu Pass.

Historically, there were three Hangu Passes, Qin Pass, Han Pass and Wei Pass.

"Is it the pass established by Cao Wei?" Qin Li said looking at the terrain in front of him.

Chapter 160 Four Tao Te Ching

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Li came to the real Hangu Pass.

This is a narrow valley, but it is a pity that the road in the middle has been blocked by rocks, and it is impossible for the army of the brigade to pass through. No wonder no one passed through it after it was abandoned.

The three of Qin Li stood on the plateau, looking at the bottom of the canyon.

At the entrance of the canyon, the cornerstone of the city wall can be seen faintly, but there is nothing else except those few stones.

The three of Qin Li drove the cloud to the ruins at the bottom of the valley.

Si Teng glanced at the weed-strewn ruins, then raised his head and asked, "Uncle Qin, you insist on coming here, what are you going to do now that you're here?"

After Si Teng asked this sentence, Zhong Liquan at the side also fanned his cattail fan and looked at Qin Li.

Qin Li did not answer Si Teng's question, but took out a roll of bamboo slips from the second ring ring.

This bamboo slip is exactly the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu that I got in Wudang Mountain.

This bamboo slip is neither gold nor jade, it is made of an ordinary piece of bamboo, but now it has the quality that only gold and stone can have.

Under the control of Qin Li, the bamboo slips were flying towards the ruins of Hangu Pass.

Zhong Liquan on the side looked at the scroll of bamboo slips in the air, and suddenly frowned.

Because the aura of Taoism on the bamboo slips is very strong and pure, he has only seen this aura from the Taishang Laojun.

Zhong Liquan began to doubt the purpose of Qin Li's coming here. At first he thought that he came here just to pay a visit to the famous places of interest, but now seeing this extraordinary scroll of bamboo slips, he began to guess the purpose of Qin Li's coming here.

"May I ask Fellow Daoist Qin who this bamboo slip is?"

Qin Li tilted his head and glanced at Zhong Liquan, but didn't answer his question, but unfolded the scroll of bamboo slips with a big wave of his hand.

After the bamboo slips were unfolded, the words inside glowed with golden light.

Zhong Liquan was stunned when he saw the words on the bamboo slips, because the first bamboo slips were written in three seal characters of "Tao Te Ching".

Zhong Liquan didn't make a conclusion immediately, but quickly looked at the second and third bamboo slips.

"Tao can be Tao, it is very Tao; name can be named, it is very named. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, name, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to see its beauty, and there is always desire to see its beauty. The two are the same. It comes out with different names, but the same name is Xuan, and Xuan is also Xuan, the door of all mysteries." Zhong Liquan read slowly.

"Tao Te Ching!"

There is no doubt that it is the Tao Te Ching, because this volume of scriptures has the breath of Laojun.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, did the Taoist ancestor write this volume of your scriptures himself?" Zhong Liquan asked hastily.

Because if it was really written by the Taoist ancestor, it would be amazing.

"Yes, and no." Qin Li glanced at Zhong Liquan and said.

Zhong Liquan frowned, yes, yes, no, no, no matter how it counts as yes.

"This bamboo slip is indeed written by Laozi, but not by the Daozu of the Sanqing Dynasty." Qin Li gave the answer without waiting for Zhongliquan to ask questions.

"But the Taoist ancestor wrote it when he was a human being?"

Qin Li shook his head again, and then said: "You don't need to guess, fellow Taoist, this scripture has nothing to do with the world you are in."

After listening to Qin Li's answer, Zhong Liquan finally realized that this bamboo slip was written by a mortal Lao Tzu, perhaps it was written by a Lao Tzu in this world.

"Is this scripture written at the request of Guan Yinzi when Lao Tzu left the customs?" Zhong Liquan asked again.

Qin Li nodded and said, "It's exactly the volume that Laozi gave Guan Yinzi back then."
