Borrowing a Horse

Gu Shenwei looked down at the book in his hands as his horse slowly trotted forward. The autumn sun was so bright he had to move his eyes away every now and then to rest them while he pondered over the meaning of the words.

He had read through this small booklet many times, which summed up the general principles of the Daoless Scroll, and could almost recite it entirely by heart. But every time he thought of something new, he would read through the booklet again. Although he felt he understood most of it, there were still many abstruse parts that he couldn't even scratch the surface of, and he would need to find a Taoist priest to explain it to him.
