Chapter 433 The Daoist Scripture
The pawning continued in the arena, and everyone was stunned when Ye Ru took out two Sacred Leaves.
This grand gesture truly shocked everyone.
"The two sacred leaves are worth fifty million according to the stipulated price, and their value is even greater than fifty million. Is there anyone else making a bid?"
Lin Tianxiao looked at the silent crowd around him, then smiled and said, "It's a pleasant surprise that they've produced two Sacred Leaves all at once."
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Shi Yu took a deep breath to suppress the rage surging within him, but there was nothing he could do. Ye Ru's two Saint Leaves were worth at least as much as fifty million. Anyone who wasn't a fool could weigh the difference, not to mention that he himself couldn't come up with fifty million.
Seeing that no one around him could take out the sacred leaf, Lin Tianxiao quickly settled down and put the glass pendant down.
Seeing that he had obtained the Glazed Jade, Ye Ru nodded. As long as he had this, the two Sacred Leaves were nothing.
"Next, we have our last item. This item, as the grand finale, will definitely be better than this jade, so..."
After Lin Tianxiao finished speaking, he smiled slightly at everyone and then said:
"So, please wait and see."
As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and several figures walked out from the back door. Each of these figures carried a sharp aura, and there were actually five Hanlin scholars.
The leading scholar, a Hanlin scholar, was holding a box with a protective seal in the middle.
As these Hanlin scholars moved about, their aura of talent and power permeated the area, and their faces were quite solemn. They seemed ready to kill the person instantly if there was even the slightest disturbance.
Seeing this, everyone around dared not utter a sound. Some members of powerful families knew about Long Dian's background, so they remained silent.
In an instant, the place was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
"This last pawned item is extremely valuable, even more important than this glass jade."
"If the glazed jade is the path to sainthood, then if you can comprehend this thing, you can directly become a saint!"
The most holy?
Lin Tianxiao's words were like a bomb going off in the ears of countless people. In the Confucian and Taoist continent, almost everyone with a literary rank dreamed of one day becoming a saint in the flesh, achieving immortality, and stepping into the realm of nothingness to educate all people.
Now, the fact that something could directly achieve sainthood has caused an uproar among those present. Even a semi-saint level person probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
"Do you really think becoming a saint is so easy? That's a bit of a boast."
"Yes, not to mention that no one has become a saint for many years, just based on this thing alone, one can become a saint?"
He chuckled softly, and the people around him began to whisper among themselves.
To think that one could become a saint based on the contents of this box is probably wishful thinking.
"Please don't be impatient, everyone. Once you see this, you'll know whether what I said is true or false."
Lin Tianxiao frowned slightly as he noticed the strange looks around him. He then slowly beckoned to the other party with his hand, and the scholars walked over at that moment and stood on the stage.
Lin Tianxiao opened the box, and a dazzling light burst forth in an instant, drawing everyone's attention.
They wanted to see what was inside the box that gave the other party such a big mouth.
The box was opened, and light radiated in all directions. After a moment, it slowly dissipated, revealing what was inside.
Lying inside was a book, and as it emitted light, two large characters were revealed.
"The Daoist Scripture!"
"This is actually a classic text of saints?"
Seeing this, Ye Ru suddenly stood up from his chair and murmured in a deep voice.
"I never imagined that this would be an authentic copy of the classic texts of the saints..."
Zhang Dong also stared intently at the classic texts of the saints, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"I never expected to find the first half of the Tao Te Ching, the Tao Jing, here. It's truly incredible."
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ru suppressed the excitement rising in his heart and said.
The classics of the saints are books written by the sages with their own wisdom, possessing immense power of the sacred way. But these are not important. What is important is that these books contain their thoughts, and understanding their thoughts is the key to becoming a saint.
"Now you believe that this thing can really give people a chance to become saints in the physical body."
Lin Tianxiao gazed at the Daoist scripture, then slowly spoke.
Those around them swallowed hard, their eyes burning with desire.
Upon seeing this scene, all the scholars, including Lin Tianxiao, began to unleash their inner talents in an instant.
"You are all from prestigious families, so you naturally know that pawnshops have their rules. If I find any of you daring to have any ulterior motives, no matter which family you belong to, I will kill you on the spot!"
His voice carried a murderous intent, sending a chill down the spines of many and deterring any ill intentions they might have had.
"This thing is priceless, so we don't need money, we only need the Holy Page. Of course, this Holy Page is not the Holy Leaf from the Ancient Holy Tree, but the Holy Page manufactured and distributed by the National Holy Academy."
"I believe some of your aristocratic families have come for this reason as well, so I don't need to say more about the sacred page."
As Lin Tianxiao finished speaking, the surrounding people fell silent. The wealthy families had no chance of obtaining this classic text of saints, not even in their wildest dreams.
Now, it's just a competition between powerful families.
"Phew, I didn't expect this to be a classic text of Taoism. Its value is much greater than that of the glazed jade."
Lu Song clicked his tongue in admiration, then whispered to the person next to him:
"Immediately send a letter to my father through Hongyin and ask him what we should do."
"Yes!"
While Lü Song was speaking to the head of the Lü Sheng family, the other members of the Sheng family present also contacted their respective family leaders. After all, this was a major piece of news, and it was even enough for their families to take action themselves.
"They practice Confucianism and Taoism, so why is Taoism so popular?"
Star Ape King frowned, seemingly not quite understanding.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru smiled and then said:
"According to historical records, Laozi entered the Zhou Dynasty, visited the Ershi (a scholar-official), and entered the Taixue (Imperial Academy). He studied astronomy, geography, human relations, and all kinds of subjects. He also read the Book of Poetry, the Book of Documents, the Book of Changes, the Calendar, the Book of Rites, and the Book of Music. He also studied cultural relics, institutions, and historical books, and made great progress in his studies. The Ershi recommended him to be an official in the Archives. Later, Confucius asked Laozi for advice. Although there are differences between the two, there is a certain connection between Taoism and Confucianism."
