After that cultivator saw Gan Bai's comments, he was momentarily dumbfounded, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. He thought for a moment, then turned around to find Liang Yi. After deliberating over his words, he said cautiously, "Liang Daoyou, it seems that Senior Tao Shi has a different opinion about this Daoist book."
Liang Yi said in a deep voice, "How did this Senior evaluate this Daoist book?"
That cultivator stammered, "It's hard to say. Liang Daoyou, go take a look and you'll know."
When Liang Yi heard him say this, he knew that Tao Shi definitely didn't have a high evaluation of this book. He found the "Tao Shi" talisman again and poured his consciousness into it. A screen of light unfolded in front of him.
He raised his head and saw that the entire Daoist book was there, and there was only one comment at the bottom. There wasn't a single superfluous sentence at the top. It seemed that this person didn't think much of this Daoist book and didn't even bother to add a word.
After he read it, he didn't feel any anger. Instead, he seriously pondered over those comments. Combined with the things he had studied earlier, he couldn't help but close his eyes and sit there in deep thought.
After a long time. He opened his eyes again, then found that fellow Daoist from before and said in a deep voice, "This Senior is right. Although this Daoist book is profound and mysterious, we don't have the qualifications to read it. If we insist on reading it, we'll only sink deeper and deeper, and we'll deviate from the right path."
That cultivator looked at his attitude, but was somewhat puzzled. He said, "Liang Daoyou, I think this Daoist book does have some logic …"
Liang Yi said, "The logic also depends on what kind of logic it is. If the logic can be used by me, then it's logic to me. If it's too high and distant, then it won't be of much use to me. In any case, I'm in the way right now, so Fellow Daoist, just take a look at what's in that Daoist book. There's no need to take it to heart."
He still had something he didn't say. If this book purely discussed Daoist techniques, then it would be fine. However, after it was pointed out, now no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be deliberately leading people to get lost in it.
However, this was only a subtle feeling, and he didn't have any concrete evidence. It was also because of this that he now had a trace of suspicion towards Yan Ruijiang.
The cultivator thought for a bit and said, "Fellow Daoist Liang's words do make some sense"
Liang Yi knew that he just didn't want to argue with him, so he went along with what he said. In fact, he hadn't given up yet.
But he could also understand. Didn't he also fall into the trap? When the principles of the Grand Dao were right before their eyes, how many people would be able to give up? Even if someone pointed out the inappropriateness of it, how could he not give it a try?
This problem could only be solved from the root. He thought for a moment, then withdrew from the Chapter of the Great Dao. After informing the disciple on duty, he left Xuanfu.
However, even though he left, Xuntian Dao Zhang did not calm down.
Gan Bai could be considered a celebrity now, and his every move would attract the attention of many people. Moreover, he had placed the entire Daoist book in the seal, so naturally, many people had seen it.
This Taoist book indeed involved a lot of mysterious principles. Moreover, the brilliance of it was that it always gave people the illusion that if they studied it deeply, they would be able to find the real answer. Even Liang Yi, who had such a profound foundation, fell into it at the beginning. Ordinary people really did not have the eyesight to make the correct judgment.
Therefore, after many people read it, they didn't agree with Gan Bai's opinion.
They all thought that there was clearly a lot of principles in it, and it was quite enlightening. How could it be belittled to be worthless? These people directly questioned Gan Bai's judgment.
However, there were also some people who agreed with Gan Bai's judgment. They all said that Senior Taoshi's words were always meaningful, and he never spoke nonsense. If he said so, there must be a reason. Moreover, there were really some clear-headed people who looked back after reading the comments, and indeed, they felt that the book's principles were useless.
Both sides were not convinced, and both sides started to quarrel. However, gradually, the majority of people thought that the book was useful, and there were even people who directly left their rebuttals under the seal. Moreover, as more and more people did so, the voices of rebuttal became louder and louder.
Gan Bai faced the tide of rebuttals, but his little face was proud and disdainful. Not only did he write down his rebuttal of the Daoist book's principles, but he also left comments for everyone.
Among them, there was a seemingly kind person who pretended to be impartial and asked him not to do as he pleased. He immediately said, "Every word is pretentious, and every sentence is pretentious. You have more saliva than ink."
There were also people who ignored the principles listed in front of him and instead questioned whether he was refuting for the sake of refuting. He directly retorted, "Pretending to be confused is either stupid or bad. I advise you to go back and take a look. Did you close the door when you came out?"
Every sentence of his was filled with mockery, every word poked at the heart, causing people to be inexplicably angry.
Because what he said was indeed reasonable. Some people's cultivation levels were not high enough, so they could not refute him. They even went to invite fellow cultivators to come over and try to refute him. However, Gan Bai was facing everyone alone, and he was not at a disadvantage at all. The commotion was getting bigger and bigger.
At this moment, Yan Ruijiang also noticed the commotion in Xuntian Dao Zhang. He was not surprised to see that they were arguing over the Daoist book. When he gave it out, he had expected that it would eventually be sent to Xuntian Dao Zhang for debate.
However, he was not worried at all, because if the Daoist book had not told him beforehand that there was a problem, even he himself felt that the book could guide him into the Dao. Therefore, he did not think that anyone other than Xuan Zun would be able to understand it. Xuanxiu, who had reached a certain realm, would not be able to resist flipping through the book after understanding it, unless Xuan Zun came forward and banned it.
However, it was better if it was banned. He could still spread it privately. That way, more people would read it.
In fact, the person who had entrusted this Daoist book to him had also told him a few things other than delivering the Daoist book. This included how he should refute if he was questioned by others.
At this moment, when he saw the comments left by Gan Bai, he laughed a few times and decided to add fuel to the fire. He wrote down the set of things according to the book. In the end, he looked at it himself and nodded in satisfaction.
Not long after, a sentence was delivered to him, so he smiled and took it. But when he glanced at it, his face stiffened, because he saw the words written on it:
"The reason is clearly in front of you, but you pretend not to see it!"
"You stir up trouble, but you don't dare to say it out loud."
"How can you be like this if you don't have a guilty conscience? You look like a traitor! "
After Yan Ruijiang read it, he couldn't help but feel angry and his fingers tremble.
However, while he was angry and annoyed, he also felt a trace of fear. Although on the surface, it looked like Gan Bai was just casually criticizing him, it made him feel weak in his heart. He was also very angry. There was no evidence, so how could he be called a traitor?
While the two sides were quarreling endlessly, someone sent this comment to Daoist Wan Ming for guidance.
Daoist Wan Ming was originally preaching the Dao, so he did not pay attention to this matter. However, now that he saw more than one person asking him to evaluate the Daoist book, he paid attention and found Gan Bai's talisman seal. After looking at it, he gave a fair evaluation: "These things are not tainted by the Heavens above, nor are they grounded below. They are completely useless to cultivation. Although Fellow Daoist Tao Shi's words are fierce, he is right.
His evaluation was tantamount to pouring cold water on the heads of those who had been waiting for him to say that the Daoist book was good, while those who had a negative attitude couldn't help but feel excited.
If it was someone else, they might have spouted nonsense. However, Daoist Wan Ming was a Mystique Venerable One. In addition, he had been explaining Daoist techniques in the Heavenly Dao Admonition Scripture. He did not avoid even the most basic principles. Many cultivators regarded him as their teacher. Therefore, his words were more convincing.
And this debate also calmed down.
Yan Ruijiang originally thought that this dispute would last for a long time and that the Daoist book would be spread because of this, but he didn't expect Xuan Zun to personally participate. For a moment, he was caught off guard.
He was also very dissatisfied in his heart. You're Xuan Zun, so you should be high and mighty. Why don't you care about your identity at all?
He thought about it. Fortunately, it was only a Daoist book that was refuted. He would continuously take out all kinds of Daoist books, but he didn't believe that he would run into Xuan Zun every time.
However, after being poked at by Gan Bai earlier, he felt abnormally guilty and didn't dare to take it out in a hurry. However, he didn't stop his little tricks.
He wrote a secret letter full of code words.
The content of the letter was to find a way to spread the news in Xuntian Dao Zhang, saying that the truth might not be as Daoist Xuan Zun said, but that this Daoist book came from Zhen Xiu. Although Daoist Xuan Zun advocated reading Daoist books, most of them were organized by Xuanxiu. If Daoist Xuan Zun was biased against some books because of his sectarian views, it was possible that Daoist cultivators had their own judgment. Whether a book was useful or not, they had to read it themselves to know.
After he finished writing, he used his Dharma Qi to send the letter out. Then, he left the Heaven Reprimanding Dao Chapter and went to meditate alone.
Two days later, when he was reading the book, he suddenly felt something and walked out from the high platform. He saw Liang Yi standing on the steps outside. He was slightly surprised, but he smiled and said, "Liang Daoyou, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance? "
Liang Yi said in a low voice, "I just finished reading the Daoist book, so I'm here to return it."
Yan Ruijiang sighed and said, "You can read this book slowly. Why are you in such a hurry to return it? Liang Daoyou, please come in."
Liang Yi nodded and followed him in.
Inside the platform, the two of them sat down as the host and the guest.
Liang Yi took out the Daoist book and placed it on the table. He said, "Fellow Daoist, I previously wanted to ask for advice on Daoist techniques and showed this book to people on Xuntian Dao Zhang. However, it attracted a lot of people. I would like to apologize to Fellow Daoist."
Yan Ruijiang smiled and said, "What's the matter with me? This is nothing. The Daoist book is for people to read. I also don't understand the meaning behind it. Fellow Daoist, you showed it to more Fellow Daoists so that everyone can find the reason behind it. How can I blame Fellow Daoist for this? "
Liang Yi nodded and said, "However, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist, where did you get this Daoist book?"
Yan Ruijiang smiled and said, "I told Fellow Daoist earlier that I got it by fate. It's hard to say exactly."
Liang Yi said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, did you really want to discuss Daoist techniques with me by showing us the Daoist book?"
Yan Ruijiang looked at him and said in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
Liang Yi took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He pressed his finger on it and slowly pushed it forward. He looked up and stared at him and said, "Does Fellow Daoist remember this letter?"
