Tao Ying Xuan Zong: a Romance of the Tao Te Ching

There was a fire in Shouzang Academy. The young apprentice "Ming" rushed into the fire scene and rescued only half of the fragments, writing "The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao." In order to search for the missing Lao Tzu and collect 81 sermons scattered around the world, he embarked on a long journey across the seven countries. From the hollow in the hub of the wheel to the whirlpool on the edge of Surabaya, from the border teahouse to the wasteland of bones, he transformed the profound philosophy of the Tao Te Ching into a journey of enlightenment that spans life and death - seeking the Tao, practicing the Tao, and finally falling silent in ordinary daily life. The whole book begins with a fire that burns thousands of volumes, and ends with the word "Tao" formed by the veins of leaves. The Tao is not on the bamboo slips, but in every footprint.
