Dao Sword Fourteen Chapters

Chapter 288 Dao Sword Fourteen Chapters

Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken, and he immediately guessed why the Taoist Master was so sure that he was the current Human Emperor.

He only learned two moves of the village chief's sword diagram and used them seldom. Apart from using them in front of Emperor Yanfeng and the national teacher, he had also shown them in front of Pangong Tso and Lin Xuan Daozi.

When Lin Xuan Daozi followed Dan Yangzi to Taixue Academy to block the door, he was defeated by the first move of the sword diagram, Sword Steps on Mountains and Rivers.

After he returned to the Taoist sect, he must have tried to show Qin Mu's sword-walking move to the Taoist master. The Taoist master probably knew at that time that Qin Mu's swordsmanship was passed down from the village chief, but he could not be sure that Qin Mu was the modern Human Emperor.

The reason why he sounded so sure was actually just a test.

Qin Mu was also very thoughtful. Although he guessed what the Taoist master was thinking, he did not deny it. He also took some water to water the Huangjing and said with a smile, "The Taoist master has great magical powers and extraordinary wisdom."

The Taoist master and Lin Xuan Daozi used leaves to scoop up water, but he directly used his vital energy to roll up the spring water, which was more convenient and faster.

The old Taoist master saw him using his vital energy and said, "Tao follows nature. Why is the emperor in such a hurry?"

Qin Mu said: "Let nature take its course and apply what you have learned. If the Taoist master doesn't use it, why should he learn it?"

The Taoist frowned, then relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "The differences between you and me are all about the philosophy of life. I will not argue with you about the doctrines of the Taoist sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect. The Human Emperor has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. This time he appeared, he must have some purpose, right?"

Qin Mu used his energy to control the water flow and watered the Polygonatum. He said seriously, "What can I want? The head of our village said that being the Human Emperor is a responsibility. I still don't understand what the Human Emperor can do. He has no power and no influence, so what kind of responsibility should he bear. If the Taoist master is willing to do it, I will let you do it."

The Taoist master was watering the leaves, his face changed slightly, and he shook his head hurriedly: "I can't afford it."

One of them scooped water with leaves, while the other used magic to draw water and watered the Polygonatum sibiricum.

Lin Xuan Daozi saw this and shook his head secretly. Both the old man and the young were stubborn and obstinate.

After an incense stick of time, Qin Mu quickly watered all the Huangjing. The old Taoist also planted the leaf holding the water in the soil, straightened his back, and sighed: "I am old and my body is useless. Since the Human Emperor is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Taoist sect cannot go against him. This time I came to see the Human Emperor to identify the successor to him. Lin Xuan also came to see you just now. After I die, he will be the Taoist master."

Qin Mu saluted Lin Xuan, who quickly returned the salute, saying, "I am not a Taoist master yet, so I dare not accept it."

The old Taoist master smiled and said, "After you become a Taoist master, you will also have to be half a generation lower, and you must lower your hand when you salute."

Lin Xuan was startled.

The old Taoist master said slowly, "We who are practicing Qi received the favor of the first generation of Human Emperor 20,000 years ago, so we all respect him as the Human Emperor. All tribes and factions took out the best treasures of the time and refined a Human Emperor Seal, so we must follow the etiquette and not neglect it. Old Taoist, can you please take a look at the seal?"

Qin Mu took out the black Human Emperor Seal and threw it to him. The old Taoist hurriedly caught it, his face trembling, and he kept saying, "How could you throw it away? How could you throw it away? I came to see the Human Emperor and I also bathed and changed clothes. I even washed my hands many times. I was very respectful and didn't dare to neglect it. How could you just throw the Human Emperor Seal to me?"

Qin Mu was puzzled and said, "The village chief just threw it to me casually. I didn't take it and he threw it back. He insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn't beat him so I had to take it."

The old Taoist master's face turned bitter. He held the Seal of the Human Emperor in both hands, looked at it over and over again, confirmed that it was this seal, and said, "Human Emperor, please take it back." After that, he stepped forward and respectfully held up the Seal of the Human Emperor in both hands.

When Qin Mu picked up the Human Emperor Seal, the old Taoist took a step back, put down his hands, and said to Lin Xuan Daozi: "Remember, this is how you receive the Human Emperor Seal. Don't mess up the etiquette."

Lin Xuan Daozi said yes, but saw Qin Mu casually threw the Human Emperor Seal into the Taotie bag, and Lin Xuan did not dare to speak.

"He is the emperor of mankind. He can be disrespectful, but we must not be disrespectful."

The old Taoist master said with good intentions: "This seal was made by our ancestors of all sects and tribes with the best treasures and presented to the Human Emperor. The person who controls this seal is respected as the common emperor of the human race. Therefore, our Taoist sect must respect it. But this seal is presented to the Human Emperor by us, so the Human Emperor can disrespect it. Do you understand?"

Lin Xuan Daozi nodded: "Disciple understands."

Qin Mu couldn't help but feel a little moved. The old Taoist master was almost dead, and would die in a few years, but he still tried his best to guide his disciples.

This traditional master-apprentice relationship is more likely to produce outstanding talents.

The old Taoist master is old now, and he probably hopes to cultivate a Taoist son in his last few years and let him take over.

"Master, besides wanting to see the Human Emperor Seal, do you have anything else to say?" Qin Mu asked with a smile.

The old Taoist looked at him deeply and said, "The Emperor should understand that the revolutionary reforms of Imperial Master Yankang and Emperor Yanfeng are not the right way and will be punished by heaven. This snowstorm is a warning. For the sake of the people of the world, the Emperor should stop this reform."

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "The general trend of the world is like a rolling torrent. Time flies by and never stops. Anyone who dares to stand in the way will be crushed. I can only follow the general trend and the torrent. Senior brother, you have already suffered a lot, why are you still stubborn?"

The old Taoist sighed, "I won't argue with you. After all the arguments, we are still arguing about the doctrines of the two families. It is difficult to convince each other, so it is better not to argue. You insist on supporting the national teacher's reform. I only say one thing, Tao follows nature, and reform means changing Tao and changing nature. Gods are born of nature and transformed by the Tao. If you want to change Tao, you know the pros and cons. The lesson of Daxu is something that the emperor must pay attention to."

Qin Mu was slightly stunned. The Taoist master obviously knew more inside information.

However, the Taoist master was unwilling to say more, and said: "I came to see the Human Emperor to express my feelings. The Taoist sect is the enemy of Yankang but not the Human Emperor. Disciple, bring the Fourteen Chapters of the Dao Sword."

Lin Xuan took out a stone slab from a leather bag on his waist. When he took it out, it was about two meters high, with some sword marks drawn on it in all directions.

Lin Xuan hesitated and said, "Master..."

"Show him."

The old Taoist said, "The old emperor's swordsmanship is better than mine. I showed the Fourteen Chapters of Dao Sword to the national teacher, so why can't I show it to the current emperor?"

Taoist Lin Xuan placed the stone slab aside, and the old Taoist master said, "There are fourteen chapters of Daojian, one for each sword. When National Master Yankang came to my Taoist sect to study, I allowed him to read it for fourteen days, so I may let the Human Emperor read it for fourteen days. As for my Taoist sect's Xiantian Taixuan Gong, I will not let the Human Emperor read it."

Qin Mu showed a look of surprise. The old Tathagata allowed him to read the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, but he only let him read the Dharma in it and did not let him see the door. There was Dharma but no door.

And now the Taoist master allows him to see the door of Xiantian Taixuan Gong, but does not allow him to see the Dharma. The masters of the two holy places both have very broad minds.

Qin Mu pondered for a moment, took out the Great Yutian Demon Sutra, and said, "I am not used to receiving favors from others. This is the Great Yutian Demon Sutra. I promise Daozi to read it for fourteen days."

Daozi Lin Xuan was quite moved and looked at the old Taoist master. The old Taoist master's face changed slightly, and after a pause, he said, "If you are allowed to read it, you can read it. If you have good in the Great Yu Tian Mo Jing, you are a god, and if you have evil in it, you are a demon. If you become a demon, it means that you have not practiced enough and your character is not good enough."

Lin Xuan Daozi agreed.

Qin Mu sat in front of the stone wall and looked at the sword marks on it.

These sword marks were crisscrossed and seemed to have no pattern. He looked at the first sword mark and did not see anything strange at first. However, as his mind was immersed in it, he gradually felt some wonderful sword intent.

In his eyes, the sword marks were no longer sword marks. He seemed to see some mathematical principles, as if a Taoist priest was writing down some principles of numerology with a large brush. These principles gradually evolved to form two Tai Chi diagrams, one black and one white, that were disturbing each other.

One point penetrates and connects the vast world, and yin and yang repeat within the two yin and yang!

Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken. The method of practicing Dao Sword was indeed unique. The sword carvings on the stone wall contained extremely deep sword intent. Mathematics was hidden in the sword intent, and mathematics constituted the first move of Dao Sword.

The hidden mathematics of the first move of Dao Sword is the binary yin and yang calculation!

"This can be compared with the Taixuan Suanjing."

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly. He had already understood most of the Taixuan Suanjing, and the first move of Dao Sword was not difficult for him.

Not long after, Qin Mu had thoroughly comprehended the first move of Dao Sword and turned to look at the second sword mark.

The second move of Taoist sword, the combination of five qi and three elements, rises with clouds and chariots intertwined!

This sword mark contains the ternary and quinary systems, the three elements and five qi. The mathematics in this move constructs the sun, the moon, the earth, and the five qi returning to the origin!

This move was not difficult for Qin Mu. He took an incense stick of time to comprehend it, and then went to look at the third sword mark.

The third move of the Taoist sword is covered with colorful auspicious clouds and the sound of immortal melodies from the three heavens.

This move is also the Three Yuan and Five Qi, but it is more advanced and has changes of the Three Yuan and Five Qi.

It took Qin Mu more than half an hour to fully comprehend this move.

The fourth move of Taoist sword, silently practicing the circulation of the celestial spheres, sees the movement of all things. The mathematics contained in it is extremely complex, involving the mathematics of the three lives and all things. It is extremely difficult to use the Taixuan Suanjing to unravel the mystery of this move.

Qin Mu unraveled the mystery of the sword mark, and then he discovered that the sunset was about to fall into the sea. It was already late, and the red sun was falling on the sea, casting a red light on the island.

"I may not be able to solve the fifth chapter of Dao Sword!"

Qin Mu's face was solemn. Dao Sword was more and more difficult to learn. The mathematics and principles contained in it were getting deeper and deeper. It was impossible to learn it completely within fourteen days. He might not even be able to learn the fifth chapter!

He could only choose to comprehend the sword intent first and learn it. As for the other sword techniques in Dao Sword, he had no time to learn them, so he could only comprehend as much as he could!

Qin Mu thought of this and immediately looked at the fifth sword mark, the fifth chapter of Dao Sword, the Jade Cave is transformed into all things, and the moon is shining on Kun Mountain.

He carefully comprehended the mathematical principles contained in the sword's intent, and found that the mathematical principles contained in it were difficult to understand. Although he had comprehended most of the Taixuan Mathematical Classic, some mathematical principles were not included in the Taixuan Mathematical Classic, and were probably hidden in the Xuannv Mathematical Classic.

The Taoist master sat aside, looking calm and at peace, as if he was unaware of hunger.

Qin Mu was hungry, so he left from under the stone wall and went to find Ling Yuxiu and Si Yunxiang. The two girls had already cooked the meal and asked him about it. When they heard that it was the Taoist master, the two girls were shocked and did not dare to act presumptuously.

On the third day, Fan Yunxiao came by boat. When he saw the Taoist master, he burst into tears and kowtowed to him several times. The old Taoist master opened his eyes and looked at him, saying calmly: "You joined the Heavenly Demon Sect? I was right about you. You really have evil intentions. Go, I won't kill you."

Fan Yunxiao burst into tears, wiped his tears and sailed away.
