Chapter 325: The Yin and Yang Note In a courtyard in the capital. A scholar named Tang walked back into the house excitedly, spread out the paper on the table impatiently, pondered for a moment, and began to write: "In the second year of Jingping, the situation was turbulent, the whole country was in turmoil, and strange things happened frequently in the capital. "In the summer of that year, a demon took advantage of natural disasters to wreak havoc on the world, devouring officials and treating civilians like animals. The common people fled to the capital to seek help, but the government was in disarray and unable to respond. Only the Immortal Master Lin, Tianshi Fan, Lord Pan, and the three Taoist priests Tao, Wan, and Lei, together with the three Taoist priests of Zhenjian Palace, went to Jinping to eliminate the demon. "The next day, a dragon boat returned from Jinping County, carrying many commoners. They claimed that they were transformed into ducks by sorcery. Fortunately, they were rescued by the Taoist priests of Juxian Mansion and Zhenjian Palace. "A few days later, the Immortal returned on a stone horse and hung a giant wolf's head in the market place. It was as big as a bucket." After the writer named Tang finished writing it, he made some deletions and revisions. After a brief hesitation, he wrote again and added: "People once asked Guanxing Palace whether it could exorcise demons, and Master Lin replied that Guanxing Palace was not virtuous and capable enough to help." The scholar named Tang made further deletions and revisions. And in the capital today, there are countless literati like him who are fond of stories about gods and ghosts, and they are all sitting in their houses with their pens in hand, recording this strange event.

I just don’t know how many people can pass it on. Even though ordinary people cannot write, they will remember it deeply and wait to tell it to future generations. I don’t know how many generations it can be passed down. …… Lin Jue returned to the yard and looked up to see a egret standing on the crabapple tree. The egret preened its feathers and looked down at the stone table. And there was a letter on the stone table. Lin Jue picked it up and opened it, and saw that it was sent by his junior sister. The content is also very simple. It is just that after she woke up one morning, she found that the two stone horses were missing. At first she thought they went to the mountains to run and play, but they did not come back for several days. She guessed that her senior brother might have called them to do something, but she didn't know where her senior brother took them. So when she saw the egret, she wrote a letter to ask it to bring it to ask where her senior brother had gone. After seeing this, Lin Jue also picked up his pen and wrote a reply letter. "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoist." Lin Jue poured out a small cup of spiritual liquid and fed it to Bai Lu: "I hope you can take the trouble to bring my letter back to my junior sister so that she won't worry." Bai Lu felt very refreshed after drinking the spiritual liquid. When it opened its mouth slightly, half-closed its eyes, and fluttered its wings and body, one could even vaguely see a sense of happiness. Then he took the letter, spread his wings slightly, and soared into the sky. Not long after, Master Fan also came back, and he brought Lin Jue a gold medal from the Juxian Mansion. "Fellow Daoist Lin." "This is……" Lin Jue took the gold medal and examined it carefully.

"I know that you will definitely have a falling out with the Guanxing Palace when you come back this time. To prevent the Guanxing Palace from interfering again, His Majesty came to the mountain to find me a few days ago and asked me about the monster in Jinping County. I told him that the Guanxing Palace could not get rid of the monster, only you can do it." Fan Tianshi said, "So the next morning, Wu Lingshi from the Ministry of Rites brought you the gold medal." "Thank you for your concern, fellow Taoist." "No one bothered. Fellow Daoist Lin was the one who put in the effort." Tianshi Fan said, "I just don't know if the ancient book that Fellow Daoist Lin is looking for is still in the Cangzhen Pavilion." "It doesn't matter." Lin Jue was not worried about this. Those Taoists in the Star Observation Palace have been living a life of luxury for a long time and have no special abilities, so they may not know what he is looking for. Moreover, he already knew the Wood Release technique and could have entered the Zangzhen Pavilion. The reason he had not gone in was that he wanted to enter with dignity. The reason is still that—— I don't want the gods to find anything to criticize me. Several scripture-repositories in Juxian Mansion were enclosed in the Observatory Palace. In addition to the fact that the Taoists in the Observatory Palace may have some abilities themselves, the more important purpose is to let the gods help look after them. Maybe there really are guardian gods among them. It would be fine if Lin Jue's ambition was not big, but what he wanted was to achieve enlightenment and seek immortality. However, in this day and age, the Tianweng pantheon is corrupt and decadent, and so is the Guanxing Palace. He will almost certainly take a different path from them. Fortunately, gods are gods after all, and they are bound by moral laws even more than humans. Above the Heavenly Lord is the Heavenly Lord. No matter what the reason is, it is impossible for gods to do whatever they want. That would shake the foundation of the gods. Therefore, what you need to do is to try not to give them any obvious evidence. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that they will not trip you up before you achieve enlightenment. Now that he had won the gold medal, those Sutra Pavilions did not belong to the Guanxing Palace, but to the Juxian Mansion. Lin Jue had also found the book through Mr. Pan before, and was sure that there were several books of commentaries on the Yin-Yang Sutra in the Sutra Pavilion. If the Taoists in the Guanxing Palace took the books and hid them without permission, then they would be the ones who were not in the right. "But to save you the trouble, I'll go now." Lin Jue didn't want to delay, so after speaking to Master Fan, he took the gold medal and walked out immediately. Master Fan did not answer, but just quickly followed him. About two quarters of an hour later—— Lin Jue, who had just swaggered past the entrance of the Star Observation Palace on a stone horse with a wolf head hanging on it, actually returned here again. The Taoists in the Guanxing Palace rarely encountered misfortunes in their lives, so at this moment, most of them had livid faces and looked at him gloomily. On the other hand, Lin Jue had a smile on his face. Seeing them like this even made me feel happier. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Jue said to them with a smile, "Did you encounter something unhappy?" "What are you doing here at my Star Observation Palace?" "Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. I am not coming to the Star Observation Palace, but to the Sutra Library of the Juxian Mansion." Lin Jue said, taking out the gold medal, "Fellow Daoist, you will not stop me from entering, right?"

The Taoist didn't say anything, but just stepped aside silently to make way for him. "Haha! Thank you!" In my joy, I was in a trance, and even the "persuading you to be cheerful" that I had never been able to fully understand showed signs of progress. Lin Jue strode into the Star Observation Palace. After passing through several courtyards and arriving at the courtyard next to the Juxianfu government office, several pavilions appeared in front of us. Lin Jue did not hesitate, showed his gold medal, and went directly to Cangzhen Pavilion. "Squeak..." The wooden door opened and a smell of dust wafted through. There was a faint flash of divine light inside, but it was gone for a moment. Lin Jue didn't care and started looking for it immediately. He had previously asked Pan Gong to look for it and knew the approximate location, so he went straight there. He scanned them one by one, looking very carefully. Lin Jue saw some books of interest, and some might even be related to magic and supernatural powers, but that was not his purpose at the moment, so he did not read further. "found it." Lin Jue picked up three books in a row. A book called "The Original Meaning of Yin and Yang" is the basis of the small Yin and Yang method. A book called "Explanations and Commentaries on Yin and Yang" is also the basis of another small Yin and Yang method. A book called "Great Commentaries on Yin and Yang" is the basis of the large Yin and Yang method. Lin Jue picked it up immediately. "call……" Lin Jue blew away some dust. The paper of the book looked unusual, but he couldn't tell what it was, so he just opened it. The first sentence: "The sky creates five elements, the earth bears yin and yang, day and night change, and the four seasons cycle, all of which are the laws of yin and yang..." Lin Jue was very familiar with this sentence. It is the content of the Yin-Yang Sutra. After that, this wise man interprets the sutra from his own perspective. But Lin Jue discovered one thing—— Compared with the "Five Elements Commentary" that Wan Xinrong gave him, this "Yin Yang Commentary" also talks about the application of the Yin and Yang theory, but it is much more obscure and far less straightforward. A person with talent and foundation in Taoism can almost understand the Five Elements' spiritual method by reading "Annotations and Commentaries on the Five Elements". However, if he reads "Great Annotations on Yin and Yang", it will be difficult for him to obtain the Great Yin and Yang method. Even after reading one page, Lin Jue found that the mystery on it far exceeded "The Original Meaning of Yin and Yang", and many explanations were completely contrary to "The Original Meaning of Yin and Yang", making people feel wild and mysterious. It only gave him a feeling that "even if there are ancient books, it is difficult to understand the principles of the Great Yin and Yang Method with this "Great Notes on Yin and Yang", and thus activate this page in the ancient book." "No wonder..."

No wonder the Great Yin-Yang Method is so scarce. Even if the Taoists in the world come to this Cangzhen Pavilion, perhaps most of them do not know the Great Yin-Yang Method. Among the remaining small number, most of them do not know that the Great Yin-Yang Method comes from this book "Yin-Yang Da Zhu". Even if they know it, it is difficult to comprehend the mysterious Great Yin-Yang Method based on this book alone. Fortunately, Lin Jue knew it. Fortunately, he is also very talented. Fortunately, he still has ancient books. And he even had another benefit— Lin Jue thought about it, took out the cloth bag solemnly and opened it. At that moment, he inexplicably felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him. When he turned around, he saw nothing. "Sure enough, there are gods guarding..." I think he is probably just a minor god with little power. Lin Jue was calm and didn't care, because he took out the bag not to take the book away, but to put his hand into it, fumble for a while, and carefully take out a scroll. The scroll is anonymous and contains handwritten text. Because ordinary paper was used, it had become a little old after years of weathering. Lin Jue cherished it very much and opened it with extreme caution. It's not just because this book records the mistakes made by an old Taoist priest, as well as his insights and speculations about the Great Yin-Yang Law based on these mistakes, but also because it was left to him by his master. After opening it, it was covered with tiny handwriting. Lin Jue read the two books together. After reading a few pages, he looked back and found that Master Fan was still standing beside him. "Did you find what you wanted, fellow Daoist?" "Found it. Thank you for accompanying me here, but I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a while, so I won't go back with you." Lin Jue said, "Please go back and tell Mr. Luo not to worry. If you're free, please bring me some food." "it is good." Master Fan agreed and left. Lin Jue simply took the "Great Notes on Yin and Yang" and the book left by his master to the window and continued to compare and read. Once you see it, you will be so mesmerized that you will lose track of time. That night, Master Fan brought him food and even tea. The same thing happened in the following days. Sometimes I would bring him some news. (End of this chapter)
