Chapter 207 This technique is for the people’s livelihood
“You two, come and take a look.”
Zuo Chen greeted the two old people who came back and showed them the booklet in his hand.
The two old men were also curious and came over to watch.
Then they looked at each other in confusion.
The book in Zuo Chen's hand is about making clothes. There are also many wonderful methods written in the book, from raising silkworms to weaving clothes to weaving and dyeing, all kinds of contents are covered.
With various simple and easy-to-understand descriptions and illustrations, it is enough for ordinary people to easily understand and understand the contents of these documents.
It is the same as the previous insect repellent booklet, it is also about people's livelihood laws.
If it was a surprise that the fragmentary scrolls of the capital that had been circulated before were actually the People's Livelihood Law, it is obviously not the case now.
“Take out all the books in the warehouse and take a look at what is written on them.”
Following Zuo Chen's order, everyone touched the books in the warehouse.
After so many years of hard work after returning home, there are indeed a lot of books in the library. After spending time sorting them out, people exclaimed and discussed from time to time:
"This is the same for me. "Small skills for people's livelihood."
"This is not my book. It looks mysterious, but I really can't understand it."
>
It took about an hour to divide the books into two stacks, nine into one stack and one into the other.
Ninety percent of those are people's livelihood tricks. Compared with the brochures circulated among the people, the content of the petition is more detailed, and many of them are content that has not been published at all in major book reviews.
The remaining small, lonely pile is the practice method.
Zuo Chen took a quick look and found that most of the cultivation techniques were related to the Taoist scriptures.
He has read 99% of the content.
The rest were the capital's self-perceptions, and they didn't actually help Zuo Chen that much.
"Why are they all small skills for people's livelihood? These are the only ones left in the capital?" Guan Jinping picked up a few books and turned them over, as if he wanted to read some unique secret texts between the lines.
But it is a pity that folk tricks are just folk tricks, and there is nothing worthy of further study.
Zuo Chen flipped through a few books and after reading them twice, suddenly asked:
"Caiyi, when did you say these folk skills became popular? ?”
"Hmm... Thirty or forty years ago." Caiyi thought for a moment and replied:
"These booklets were first circulated in various small study rooms. Because they were easy to use, they quickly became popular among the people. I heard that someone sorted out various folk remedies and added some of their own understanding to create these books."
At this point, Cai Yi's words also slowly began. stopped.
She could probably guess what Zuo Chen wanted to say.
“I’m afraid this pamphlet was written by the Capital Master.”
Zuo Chen reached into the pile of books and took out a book.
I saw a line of small words marked on the top of the book. Zuo Chen pointed with his hand and showed it to everyone.
Letter:
"Nine People's Tongjian"
"Isn't it rumored in the world that the capital has left any Tongjian treasure?"
"Jiuxuan Tongjian." Guan Jinping said, looking at the booklet in Zuo Chen's hand with some doubts: "Is this what you are talking about?"
"I'm afraid that's it." Zuo Chen speculated: "The capital was originally What he wanted to do was actually to facilitate the people, so he sorted it out into nine categories and named it Tongjian, which means general Jianjie. Anyone can read it and learn it. Later, after his death, the remaining scrolls should be the same. They were scattered all over the place and became a legend. "Then why did the name change?" Cai Yi was confused.
"I guess someone exposed the names of these books. He didn't read the contents of the books, so he thought they were some magic method and touted them. When other charlatans heard about it, they also thought it was something It should be powerful, but I also thought that the word "people" was not worthy of such a wonderful method, so I replaced it with a word that I thought was more powerful."
Zuo Chen patted the book and sighed:
"The Jiuxuan Tongjian should come out like this."
Guan Jinping stared at the book on the small mountain, and her thoughts were a little complicated for a while.
Unexpectedly, most of the books that I have been guarding for my whole life are pamphlets that can be bought in bookstores outside.
I don’t know whether to cry or laugh.
However, what comforted her was that at least 10% of them practiced the exercises seriously. At least all these years of hard work had not been in vain.
Even if it is only 10%, leaking it will still cause disaster.
“I really didn’t expect that the treasures handed down from this famous capital would be these.” Zhu Laoba scratched his head: “I don’t know if those who fought to death for the book will be angry after knowing the truth. Die."
Zuo Chen held the fragment in his hands, but he was quite emotional.
For some people, these livelihood booklets are really useless. They can neither help cultivation nor gain rights from them.
But for thousands of people in Daliang, Tongjian is the most important treasure.
Quietly, it has been integrated into the lives of a large number of people and changed the world.
Holding the book in his hand, he tilted his head slightly.
It seems that under the silver moon, I saw the old Taoist sitting at the desk, writing various contents line by line.
Using the moonlight of the oil lamp, he looked carefully at the dots above the document, imagining the joy and smiles on the people's faces when they saw his document.
The capital has indeed left a legacy.
But unlike what most people think, this legacy has already flowed into the entire Daliang, slowly changing everything in Daliang.
Benefit many people. ...
After sorting out the remaining volumes, Guan Jinping moved all the books out of the warehouse.
“What are you going to do with these books?”
After hearing Zuo Chen's question, Guan Jinping said:
"These people's livelihood brochures were left by the capital after all. I plan to sort them out and compare them with the brochures on the market now. If there is anything missing, Just make it up. It can be considered a good thing for the people of Li."
Zuo Chen nodded, approving in his heart.
Then he thought for a few seconds and said: "You can follow us first and go to King Jing. I will talk to him about this matter. Then it will be better to work under his protection. It will always be safer. Some."
After listening to Zuo Chen's suggestion, Guan Jinping was a little hesitant.
Over the years, she has avoided these feudal kings and tried not to have contact with them.
After all, Guan Jinping didn't know what these feudal kings were thinking. If they had the same idea as the library and wanted to fight with the returnees until death, then he would have been like a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
Even if Prince Jing has not caused trouble to her all these years, she still does.
But now there is a Taoist priest acting as a guarantee...
After thinking about it, Guan Jinping nodded and agreed.
"Sir, please take these cultivation techniques and immortal magic weapons with you." Guan Jinping pointed at those things again, and she said freely and casually: "These Taoist scriptures are much safer in your hands than in my little pavilion." You know, I'm too old, I still have to find a place for these things."
Zuo Chen smiled and shook his head.
He picked up these Taoist scriptures and weighed them in his hands:
"It is never too late to practice. Come see me again tomorrow morning."
Hearing Zuo Chen's words, Guan Jinping was confused and didn't know what he meant.
Yan Wangsheng showed a clear face and showed a reassuring smile.
It was getting too late today, so they stopped talking and each found a room to rest under Guan Jinping's arrangement.
Zuo Chen took some monkey wine and handed it to Yan Wangsheng. He patted him on the shoulder and asked him to talk to Guan Jinping. The old man hesitated, but finally nodded and took the wine gourd. Entered Guan Jinping's house.
No one knows what these two old men will say in the long night.
Guan Jinping has kept the Taoist scriptures for so many years, so he is qualified to study them.
But she is indeed old, and it would be somewhat difficult to start practicing now.
So Zuo Chen plans to revise the content of the Tao Sutra a little to make it easier to get started.
Let’s stay up late today.
Just pick up the pen and write, thick and thick.
I wrote until the lights in Guan Jinping and Yan Wangsheng's rooms were turned off in the distance, until the darkness enveloped the small courtyard, until the stars shone brightly around the moon, and until the whiteness of a fish belly rose in the distance.
Zuo Chen also wrote a pamphlet.
After the last stroke was completed, Zuo Chen felt energetic and comfortable.
Putting the booklet in place, he took two pieces of paper to seal the book cover, and put a line of zhenqi on it to prevent damage to the book.
After doing all this, the sky has become brighter.
Looking up at the courtyard outside the window, I happened to see Guan Jinping and Yan Wangsheng walking out of the room together.
Although the two of them didn't hold hands or do anything else, you could tell just by looking at them that there was a big change between them.
It should be going very smoothly.
After all, these two people are so old, and the relationship between them is more sweet, but lacks a lot of so-called passion. It is extremely rare to be able to walk side by side and look at the bamboo trees in the pavilion together.
Very good.
Just put away the pen and paper and walk out of the room.
Guan Jinping saw Zuo Chen coming out and hurriedly saluted Zuo Chen:
"Good morning, sir."
And asked: "How did you sleep last night, sir?"
"Last night. Wei Mian. I have prepared this for you."
Zuo Chen handed the pamphlet to Guan Jinping in front of him, who took it curiously.
I opened it and after reading two or three pages, I couldn't help but feel horrified.
She could tell that this seemed to be the Taoist scriptures practiced in the capital!
However, compared to the normal Taoist scriptures, this booklet is obviously much simpler. Just reading the beginning, Guan Jinping even felt that the breath and Taoism in her body were being adjusted and moved. .
Absolutely amazing.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Guan Jinping looked at Zuo Chen with disbelief.
“I stayed up late last night and revised it, just right for the two of you to practice.”
Hearing Zuo Chen’s words, Guan Jinping was obviously in chaos.
Looking at Zuo Chen blankly for a long time, he finally said:
"You... know Taoist scriptures?"
Yan Wangsheng next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore, coughed slightly and said:
"Junior sister... Mr. is our ancestor."
Guan Jinping: "?!"
