Chapter 63 Three Treasures The Tao Te Ching says: “I have three treasures, I hold on to them and protect them; The first is kindness, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness leads to courage. Frugality leads to generosity. Not daring to be the first in the world leads to success. Now if you abandon kindness and courage, abandon frugality and generosity, abandon being behind and be ahead, you will die. " Tao Tie took Instructor Huang's words to heart and read many classics on the first floor of the missionary institute's library. Including but not limited to "Tao Te Ching", "Yin Fu Jing", "Qing Jing", "Huang Ting Jing", "San Tong Qi", "Zhong Lu Chuan Dao Ji", "Ling Bao Bi Fa", "Xing Ming Gui Zhi", "Temple of Heaven Jade Code", "Hui Zhen Ji" and "Wu Zhen Pian". He was particularly fond of the "Tao Te Ching" and could not put it down, reading it almost every day. There are many principles that we not only think are good and keep in mind, but we also always think about putting them into practice. During these seven days, Tao Tie has been practicing the "Three Treasures" theory: Kind, frugal, and not daring to be the first in the world. Especially not daring to be the first in the world.

Because by doing so, one can achieve great things and live a long life, which can be regarded as the source of the Gou Dao. The so-called kindness is to give Chen Daohui and that old fox enough opportunities to make them shut up. It was also when they decided to impose punishment that they only injured and hit the person in the face, without killing anyone and without wasting their efforts. He also earnestly fulfilled his duties as the deputy leader of the A-class patrol envoys of the Immortal God Department, and led the A-class patrol envoys to protect the peace of the people outside Liuxian County and around the Baxian Mountain. Without any reservation, he patiently and seriously taught Du Bo martial arts knowledge and taught him Xingyiquan. The so-called frugality means not being stingy when you should spend, and not spending recklessly when you should save. At the same time, he was also thinking about the fragments that exploded from the Five-Directions Evil God. I've made a special trip now to see if I can pick up something useful from those scraps. The so-called not daring to be the first in the world means that even if you have discovered something good a long time ago, you still sit back and wait, not being impatient or anxious. After many people had been to that nameless valley and searched it over and over again, Tao Tie finally went there. Of course, Tao Tie didn't just wait and do nothing in the past seven days. He took the opportunity to lead the A-class inspectors into the ravine and passed by the nameless valley twice. Under the pretext of inspection, he openly used the "circular light technique" to carefully observe the inside and outside of the nameless valley. This is not at all misusing public resources for personal gain, but rather it is a win-win situation. Tao Tie did it very calmly. Don't be afraid of what people say, don't be afraid of people's suspicion, and don't be afraid of people's investigation. He quickly left the county town, still using the same combination of spells, the Earthly Evil Spell "Control the Wind" + the Spell "Invisible Movement" + the Spell "Landing Without a Trace", Tao Tie turned into a wisp of breeze and entered the mountains. Go nowhere else but straight to the nameless valley. First, we have clear goals, focus on work, and pursue efficiency; Secondly, when he entered the mountain, he encountered a jumping and croaking toad. Although the information fragments triggered by [Knowing Everything] were nothing special, Tao Tie felt that it was a little strange.

The intuition of a practitioner cannot be ignored. In other words, Tao Tie did not have a sense of crisis before, otherwise he would not even enter the mountain and would have turned back. But this also gave Tao Tie a reminder. He immediately stopped being stingy and activated all of his physical supernatural powers, [Clairvoyance] and [Super Hearing], entering active mode. Within a radius of eight miles, everything that can be sensed will be visible. This is in contrast to brightness, yang, and the tangible. The exploration of darkness, shadows and the invisible is carried out by combining the Disha technique "Tongyou" and the Yuanguang technique. With the help of [Knowing Everything], no matter if it is a tangible person or an intangible soul, as long as their cultivation level does not exceed the fifth level, they cannot escape Tao Tie's eyes, ears and perception. Tao Tie, who was as fast as the wind but always cautious, arrived at the nameless valley. Huang Junshi's proficiency in the Taiyi Fenguang Sword is truly superb. No matter how powerful the sword light was, no matter how swift the sword that killed the Five-Directional Evil God was, it did not cause any damage to the valley. The mountain is intact, the rocks are intact, and the grass and trees are unharmed. The garbage collectors who had arrived in the past few days to look for treasure had turned over almost everything in the valley, leaving the entire valley in a mess. Although it was not the first time that Tao Tie saw the mess in the valley, he was still deeply moved. I have a very three-dimensional understanding of the term "locust migration". After a brief sigh in his heart, Tao Tie gathered his distracting thoughts, slid into the valley like the wind, and transformed himself into a much more elegant locust, looking for treasure. The valley was very quiet late at night. The bright moonlight shone through the treetops onto Tao Tie, adding a new shadow to the mottled ground. The wind blew, and the leaves rustled and made sounds. It has the atmosphere of folk horror movies from the past. Tao Tie, however, was not nervous at all and did not cooperate at all. It was just a superficial effort for those who were still paying attention to this valley but didn't know whether it existed or not. Tao Tie stopped beating around in circles, and as if by accident, he naturally came to a place where [Knowing Everything] had already triggered the information fragment. There is a clear spring here. The spring water is clear, and the water flows gurglingly and crisply. There is a special artistic conception under the bright and mottled moonlight. The shallow bottom of the water is covered with soft pebbles of various sizes and shapes. Tao Tie reached his hand into the spring and scooped up a handful of clear water, as if he wanted to wash his face and cheer himself up, but he suddenly stopped. While scooping water, his fingers brushed against a soft pebble the size of a lychee.

I didn't take it seriously at first, but I realized it later. Oh, it turns out this isn't goose-soft stone, but... Tao Tie quickly let go of his hand, gave up the spring water, picked up the "lychee", and observed it carefully under the moonlight. After observing for a while, he squeezed the "lychee" hard with the thumb and index and middle fingers of his right hand. The "lychee" was soft and immediately sank. But it is elastic and quickly returns to its original shape after the fingers are released. [Rare Item: Anaconda Gallbladder from the Debris of the Five-Power God’s Body] [Information fragment 1: Pictogram, image. It is what it looks like! ] [Information fragment 2: Cool in nature, bitter in taste, slightly sweet; clears away heat and detoxifies, resolves phlegm and calms spasms; enters the spleen meridian.] [Information fragment three: Eating it may have a miraculous effect on the practice of the horizontal fist of the Five Elements Fist in Xingyi Quan.] On the surface, Tao Tie observed and kneaded the "lychee" for a while, but actually read the information fragments triggered by [Knowing All Things]. He was slightly happy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face, and he was not in a hurry to visualize Taotie eating it on the spot, so he put it into the storage bag. After washing his hands in the clear spring, Tao Tie stood up and continued to search for treasure in the valley. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, I walked to the rocky hillside. As if inspired by the soft pebbles at the bottom of the clear spring, Tao Tie focused a lot of his attention on the rugged rocks on the hillside. After searching for a long time without finding anything, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He lost his temper and kicked around a few times. Bang, bang, bang... For a moment, rocks flew all over the hillside. Many strange-shaped stones were kicked up by Tao Tie and fell back into the hillside, colliding with the mountain and rocks, making noises. After kicking again carelessly, Tao Tie's expression suddenly changed. There was a gleam of light in his eyes, just like a car suddenly switching from low beam to high beam xenon headlights in the dark night, which was very conspicuous. His mind moved with it, and he raised his right hand. His magic power surged, generating a force of suction. He took a stone that looked like a toad with a broken leg into his palm and observed it carefully under the moonlight. In the air not far from the valley, after finishing the "stalking" of a secret place, Mr. Qiu, who was slowly returning to the county seat of Liuxian County, snorted at Huang Junshi beside him: “What kind of freaks are you eyeing? Not only is Dao Xiaofeng a greedy girl, she is also greedy for food, money and power, she is also greedy for beautiful women! Although this kid is greedy, at least he knows how to restrain himself, but he..." As he spoke, Mr. Qiu took a deep breath and continued to complain helplessly: "But where does this kid get so many persecution delusions? He puts on so many dramas every day. Who is he performing for?" Huang Junshi casually glanced at Tao Tie, who was standing on the rocky slope of the nameless valley, concentrating on pretending, and asked calmly: "Someone is indeed watching this place, isn't he? He is just pretending, no matter whether others believe it or not, at least he has tried his best to do everything he can." The other person was none other than Mr. Qiu, who became interested and followed Tao Tie quietly after discovering him! "you……" Mr. Qiu was choked by Huang Junshi's words. I was already feeling a little resentful because I couldn't sleep well late at night, and now I felt even angrier. With a powerful swing of his sleeves, Mr. Qiu no longer accompanied Huang Junshi as they slowly returned to the city.

Straight out of the realm of reality and illusion, back to the real world. Riding on the clouds, he quickly returned to the second floor of the missionary institute's library. When passing by the city gate, he caught a glimpse of a noisy toad entering the city and snorted suddenly. The Wutong demon who was considering whether to enter the city in human form or in toad form was caught in the crossfire. He was shocked by the muffled groan that was so loud that it was almost as loud as thunder, and was almost blinded by the dazzling and righteous golden light. He could hardly maintain his toad form and shouted in panic: "Is this the Golden Light Curse? Who fired the Sky-shaking Thunder?" For a moment, the city gate was filled with the sound of frogs. Between reality and illusion, Huang Junshi did not chase after Mr. Qiu, nor did he continue to pay attention to the Nameless Valley and Tao Tie, but stood quietly with his hands behind his back. After a short while, the person I was waiting for finally showed up. A female teacher who just won a victory but still does not want to reveal her name. "Are you satisfied?" Huang Junshi did not have the demeanor of a superior who had to wait for others to speak first, so he asked directly. "There's nothing satisfactory about it." The female teacher had no expression on her face and her tone was not very volatile. She replied calmly, "After preparing for so long, if I can't even take down Padmasambhava, an incarnation without any life source, how can I face the Fairy Nihuang who helped me get this opportunity?" "Not Fairy Neon Phoenix!" Huang Junshi corrected him seriously, "For me, there will always be only Dao Xiaofeng. I only recognize Dao Xiaofeng." The female teacher was stunned for a moment, then said with a little anger: "You can talk to her yourself, there is no need to argue with me. Besides, I am not the only one who calls her that, everyone calls her that!" After saying this, the female teacher seemed a little unsatisfied and muttered, "Why are you being so mean to me?" This attitude and tone of speech are completely different from last time. Obviously something happened during this period, which led to such a big change. Huang Junshi was speechless. After a while, he changed the subject and asked casually, "Is the Padmasambhava matter over?" "It's not that simple." The female teacher curled her lips and said, "It was only finished with me. At least I wiped out the fourth-grade incarnation of Padmasambhava, and I got an explanation for the theft of the student's literary energy. The rest is the affairs of the prefectural school, the provincial school, and even the imperial school. It has nothing to do with me." "It's fine as long as it has nothing to do with you." Huang Junshi followed the woman's words and said, "Don't get involved in this matter anymore. Padmasambhava is not that easy to deal with. The reason you were able to kill his fourth-grade clone this time was not entirely due to your own ability, but more because you have the support of the Heavenly Dynasty. Do you understand?" The female teacher was too lazy to respond to the lecture. She rolled her eyes and left this space between reality and illusion. Just when passing over the nameless valley, he casually threw a piece of debris down. As a thank you to Huang Junshi. In the nameless valley, on the rocky slope, Tao Tie had happily put a stone that looked like a toad with a broken leg into his storage bag.

[Rare Item: Golden Toad Fortune] [Information fragment 1: Toad, commonly known as frog.] [Information fragment 2: If you are righteous, the five will be revealed; if you are evil, the five will be connected. You will get rich and your wealth will flow in.] [Information fragment three: Use gold to cast a golden toad to present treasures, refine the three-legged toad that represents wealth into it, and offer it in front of the statue of Zhao Yuanshuai, the God of Wealth, for 49 days and nights. Then take it home and you will have good fortune.] Chu Mingtu and his brothers first registered their business with the company and offered a large sum of money every year. Later, they took the initiative to give a gift, including a three-story courtyard house in Xicheng District. Even though Tao Tie later bought the courtyard house with his own money, the other party's intention was genuine. Reciprocity. Tao Tie was originally thinking about what to give as a return gift. That’s great now. You don’t have to think about it anymore. You can just make a golden toad that symbolizes good fortune and wealth and send it to the business as a treasure-giving ornament. It can be regarded as a return gift and can also help the business to increase its wealth and revenue. Best of both worlds, really happy. Just when I was feeling happy, the wind blew and a piece of debris fell from the sky. The debris was tiny yet very conspicuous, and immediately attracted Tao Tie's attention. [Knowing Everything] triggers information fragments immediately. [Strange Item: Void Debris] [Information fragment 1: A grain of sand is a world, a flower and a leaf is a Tathagata. There is a piece of empty ruins in the rubble, which was originally a secret space where Padmasambhava's body was hiding. It has just been destroyed and is still warm.] [Information fragment 2: Put Sumeru into a mustard seed and refine it into a storage bag/Five Ghosts bag to expand the internal volume or increase the upper limit of the Five Ghosts.] [Information fragment three: Hide the sun and the moon in a pot, eat it, and you can quickly enter the earthly magic 'Pot Heaven'. ] "Is this a chance from heaven?" After reading the information fragments on this piece of debris, Tao Tie became confused, and then immediately denied it. It's not that he didn't believe such a good thing would happen, he just didn't believe it would happen so coincidentally. "so……" Tao Tie took the debris into his hands and looked up at the night sky. "Is Instructor Huang really paying attention to this place? Or... someone else?" "If it's given by Instructor Huang, there's no harm in accepting it." "If it was someone else, what would be the reason?" "It can't be that he is a boy who gives away treasures casually." All kinds of doubts arose in Tao Tie's mind and he hesitated, not knowing whether he should take it or not, and whether it would be too hot if he took it. At this moment, a familiar and gentle voice was suddenly heard.

"You deserve it, take it with peace of mind." (End of this chapter)
