'Brother Wuwang, what are you practicing? '
After secretly observing Wu Wan for a long time, Ling Xiaolan couldn't help but feel doubts.
If we talk about retreat to enlightenment, most of the time should be spent meditating and immersed in the Tao.
But Wu Huan rarely entered meditation. He just kept reading books and studying the Kung Fu books over and over again.
However, Wu Wan's expression was quite focused, and the rhythm around his body would occasionally fluctuate, as if he had some insights.
'Is it possible that Brother Wuwang is also a little confused? So you want to find your own path in the ancient books of the late emperors? '
Ling Xiaolan thought about it carefully and felt that it should be like this.
Little did she know that Wu Wan was not looking for a way to cultivate Taoism for himself at this moment. The only thought in Wu Wan's heart at this moment was...
[The late Emperor Fuxi was really too lonely. 】
Wu Wan followed Fuxi's relics and the Fuxi Kungfu books that were added by later generations, looking for the back of the late emperor walking between heaven and earth.
At that time, Suiren collapsed and Tiangong counterattacked.
The land of the human domain gained by the Suiren family after countless battles was almost instantly conquered by the Heavenly Palace. The gods towered between heaven and earth, intending to extinguish the fire in the human domain and take back the avenue of fire.
From then on, the Fuxi clan stood up and merged with the way of fire. He faced the gods and forced them step by step out of Nanye.
Hetu Luoshu performs the Eight Diagrams, and the yin and yang stand together to prove the void and the dark.
The late Emperor of the Human Realm used his supreme talents to evolve the Tao, interpret the world, and sort out a systematic practice method for the Human Realm, allowing all those with the qualifications to practice in the Human Realm to embark on the road to self-improvement.
If the Suiren clan is said to have opened up territory and expanded the territory, it established the boundaries of the human domain.
This Fuxi clan and his followers erected heavenly pillars on the territory of the human realm, supporting a world where all immortals could straighten their chests and face the gods directly.
Tiangong was forced to use ruthless means to block the longevity of the human race and slow down the reproduction rate of the human race.
To this day in the human realm, the techniques of cultivating immortals have not been able to break out of the framework drawn by Fuxi.
That Bagua picture should be something that made it difficult for Di Xin to sleep peacefully.
But Fuxi is lonely after all.
He and Emperor Kuang had been facing each other for a long time. Behind him were his compatriots who were watching him, at his feet was the slowly rotating Bagua, and above his head was the vast sky, but there was no one traveling with him beside him.
The heroes of the human race at the same time could not keep up with the pace of the late emperor, and they could not even understand the late emperor's ideas.
What's more, most of the mysteries contained in the innate Bagua map have not been revealed by those who came after the human realm. Instead, they used the Bagua as a sequence to create a large formation, allowing the large formation to interpret its mysterious principles on its own.
If Wu Wanruo was just the young master of Beiye, or a new talent in Nanye human domain, he would not be able to understand these things. It would be like reading a book from heaven.
But Wu Wan has an advantage, which is the thoughts he brought with him in his previous life, as well as the cognitive concepts that had been formed before he came to the Great Wilderness.
This provides Wu Wang with a broader perspective.
[Fuxi originally did not want to take over the path of fire, but wanted to break through the darkness with his own way.
But time waits for no time. In order to protect the human race, the Fuxi clan had no choice but to give up searching for their own way, and stood up at the critical moment of the human race, taking charge of the Avenue of Fire and repelling the gods and hundreds of races.
The Tao of Fire, in the world understood by Fuxi, is just a state, a Tao principle, and the 'Li' hexagram in the Bagua, which explains the degree of changes in things.
Tragically, the Avenue of Fire became the shackles of the Fuxi clan, so much so that the late emperor deduced thousands of ways, but he could never escape. 】
Wu Wang found a Tao pattern written in ancient characters on the back of a stone slab. The content was roughly like this:
What is Tao?
How did heaven and earth come from?
Where is the destination of heaven and earth?
Dao patterns can not only carry information, but also carry a little bit of the mood of the person who wrote the pattern.
When Wu Wan's fingers brushed over this stone slab, he heard the lonely and helpless sigh in his heart, as if he saw an old man with disheveled hair and linen clothes, searching up and down in the long river of time, looking up to the sky and the earth, searching for the truth.
In the dark, an old man wearing a toga and a haggard face seemed to appear behind Wu Wan, holding a sword and pointing to the sky, drunkenly shouting:
At the beginning of ancient times, who preached it?
The upper and lower parts have no form, so how can we examine them? (Note ①)
Fu Xi did not find the answer that could answer all questions.
Or maybe you find it, but you can't describe it with words, you can't record it in the Tao pattern, you can't describe it on the Bagua plate.
All Fuxi could do before he disappeared was to leave the key to the endless Taoist secrets to the human race, and leave the sometimes-disappearing path to those who came after him.
After reading all the remaining Fuxi classics in the treasure house on the top floor of the Sutra Collection Hall, Wu Wan did not understand or feel it, and did not know how long he had spent on this matter. He just sat there with a blank look in his eyes.
Looking at the portrait in front of him again, Wu Wan's heart felt empty, like a dead starry sky.
And when a bright light appeared in the starry sky, like a wisp of brilliance appearing out of thin air during the rise and fall, pictures came one after another, and the Eight Diagrams filled the spiritual platform.
The firelight of Emperor Yan's order is shining, but this light is already a bit dim compared with this Bagua disk.
Fuxi's thoughts were never about the Great Way of Fire.
What Fuxi seeks is the ultimate truth behind heaven and earth!
That is a perfect principle that can describe all ways, penetrate all ways, and explain all ways!
'Have you really found it? '
Wu Wan couldn't help but ask softly.
He stared at Fuxi's portrait, and seemed to see Fuxi standing quietly in the starry sky, with his hands behind his back and a relieved smile on his lips.
It was like the smile on Suiren's lips when he saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the dead wood in front of him.
It's like the old Shen Nong, carrying a medicine basket on his back, looks back and sees that the road has been planted with grains and grasses, his smile full of tiredness.
Wu Wan closed his eyes and sat there quietly feeling it.
He can no longer notice the passage of time, cannot feel the existence of the great road between heaven and earth, and cannot sink into the starry sky.
He is like a single-plank bridge, spanning the unnamed void, with faint lights flickering on both sides.
Only at this moment did Wu Wan realize how precious his view of the world, his perspective of observing the world, his own cognition, and the thoughts and ideas he had retained from his previous life were.
It is the light that has accumulated for five thousand years, and is the brilliance nurtured by the great rivers;
It is the flames of war that burn the sky red in the field of chasing deer, it is the spirit of sweeping the world with swords and dominating the world, it is the leap of literati and poets into the river with boulders, it is the pursuit of Confucius, Mencius and Lao Zhuang between movement and stillness.
At this moment, two seas of stars appeared in front of and behind Wu Wan.
In the sea of stars ahead, three figures walked out, which were the past and present backbones of the human realm.
In the sea of stars behind, phantoms emerged one after another, and these phantoms just stood quietly. Another old man riding a bull slowly moved forward and recited:
【Road to Road, very Avenue. Famous, very famous. 】
Wu Wang had already summoned a stone slab, holding a dagger in his hand. Under Ling Xiaolan's somewhat panicked eyes, he carved several scriptures on the stone slab left by the late Emperor Fuxi.
[In the past, those who obtained one, the sky obtained one and became clear. The land is at peace. God gets a spirit. The grain is full. All things must be alive. 】
[Tao produces one, produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the energy is in harmony. 】
【If a great achievement is lacking, its usefulness will not be exhausted. As big as a cup, its uses are endless. Great directness is like sarcasm, great skill is like clumsiness, great debate is like indolence. 】
The connection between his hometown Blue Star and the wild world is not important at this time.
Wu Wan only knows that if the human realm wants to survive at this moment, it needs to extend Emperor Fuxi's philosophy of cultivation and create an era of immortality that is even more powerful than Emperor Fuxi's heyday!
At some point, Wu Wan came back to his senses.
In front is a portrait of Fu Xi, and in front of him are two stone tablets inscribed with several scriptures.
Then, Wu Wang pulled the third slate, pondered for a while, and started writing again.
[All things will eventually change, and all things will remain unchanged.
The heaven and the earth came first and the gods came later. The great road was established first and the living beings existed later.
The heaven, earth, and Tao were born from nothingness. Heaven and earth are things and the sum total of things. Wind, frost, rain, dew, mountains, lakes, clouds, and seas are all gathered together from the subtle. All things are eternal and still between heaven and earth.
Tao is a rule, a law, a principle for people, a mind, and a way for living beings to understand why heaven and earth are heaven and earth. However, Tao and living beings all return to the space between heaven and earth, and if they are separated from heaven and earth, they lose their meaning...]
In hundreds of eloquent words, Wu Wan wrote down all his recent insights here.
The system of Taoism founded by Emperor Fu Xi actually lacks the general outline of practice of "Tao Sheng Yi, Yi Sheng Two" to reveal the final path of Taoism.
Wu Wang's search and reading during this period of time were just to find this gap, to find the bottleneck of the method of cultivating immortals in the human realm.
When Wu Wan stopped writing, he placed the three stone slabs in front of him and read them carefully. He felt a lot of thoughts in his heart and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, he knew that his energy would not be in vain.
Feeling Ling Xiaolan's gaze, Wu Wan asked, "Fairy, how long have we been here?"
Ling Xiaolan whispered from the side: "Three years and nine months."
"so long?"
Wu Wan was startled for a moment and sighed, "I thought it was just a few months."
Ling Xiaolan stepped on the fairy light and came with a bit of light in her wonderful eyes. She stared at Wu Wan and said softly: "You have been in the state of enlightenment, fiddling and writing... and you also wrote on His Majesty the late Emperor. Handwritten on the slate."
"This," Wu Wan came back to his senses at this moment, looking at the three stone slabs in front of him, speechless for a while.
Will he be beaten up by the seniors for destroying cultural relics in the human domain?
"What's this?"
Ling Xiaolan blinked lightly, stared at the words on the slate, and bit her lower lip. After reading a few sentences, she froze there. She couldn't help but think and taste them carefully.
Those words not only hide the true meaning of the Tao, but the words themselves are also a reflection of Wu Wang's previous Taoist realm.
Ling Xiaolan suddenly closed her eyes and stood there quietly, surrounded by a little fairy light.
Wu Wan smiled a little, and suddenly felt tiredness spreading from the altar. He couldn't help but raise his hand and yawned. He walked to the corner and sat down cross-legged.
The senior management of the human domain wouldn’t really blame him for destroying the late emperor’s relics, right?
This is not considered graffiti.
What Fu Xi didn't have time to express to future generations, he just used the part of the Tao Te Ching that explained 'Tao' to integrate it;
The views I added later are also to guide them to respect objective things and look at issues in practice dialectically.
Um……
The final effect depends on whether the experts can understand it.
After a while, Ling Xiaolan opened her eyes, pursed her lips and flew to Wu Huan's side. She bowed to Wu Huan and sat down cross-legged. The immortal light around her body condensed into a cocoon of light.
Fairy Ling, who had just become an immortal a few years ago, now had a profound realization.
Wu Wan sat there and took a nap for a while. He didn't know how long it took before he was suddenly awakened by Liu Bairen's voice.
"This! How can I write my feelings directly on the slate!
My little ancestor! This is His Majesty Fuxi's manuscript. What does it say?
Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things? this……"
Liu Bairen suddenly frowned and his heart trembled leisurely. He stared at these words and couldn't help but look up at the portrait of Emperor Fuxi.
In the Taoist heart of the master of the Renhuang Pavilion, the pictures of Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols, and the Eight Trigrams appeared on their own, and the magic power all over his body surged and rolled like a wave.
He hurriedly retreated and wrapped the three stone slabs with another layer of barrier.
This is……
Liu Bairen turned to look at Wu Juan, only to see that Wu Juan looked tired and was sleeping with his eyes closed; Ling Xiaolan's figure was trapped in a fairy cocoon and was on the verge of breaking through.
Even for him, a master of the human realm who has entered the transcendent realm for a long time and whose path is infinitely close to perfection, a trickle of water gurgled out of the withered spiritual spring.
He really wanted to lift Wu Wandao up and shake it a few times, hoping to see what kind of surprises this little golden dragon, which His Majesty called his New Year's Friend, might reveal!
Liu Bairen immediately sat down cross-legged, his mind full, but he forced himself not to fall into the state of enlightenment.
For a master like him, it can take decades or hundreds of years for him to realize the truth.
At this moment, he was deducing those scriptures, comprehending the hundreds of words written by Wu Wan, extracting some of the principles contained in them, spreading them in his heart, and nourishing his own path.
After a moment, Liu Bairen stood up with trembling hands, bowed to Wu Wan, turned around and hurriedly left the Sutra Collection Hall, and fully activated the formation of the Sutra Collection Hall.
Half an hour later.
"Your Majesty, look!"
"Well," Shen Nong stared at the three fonts quietly. Not long after, he suddenly laughed twice while leaning on his wooden staff. He then set up a barrier around his body and raised his head and laughed inside it. He couldn't stop laughing.
Liu Bairen stood quietly beside him, with a slight smile on his lips.
Half a day later, dozens of figures appeared on the top floor of the Sutra Collection Hall. They gathered around the three stone slabs to observe for a while, and then meditated nearby.
There are more light cocoons on the top floor of the Sutra Collection Hall.
Wu Wan and Ling Xiaolan had already been moved away, and with Senior Shennong taking action, they would not be awakened.
This three-year and nine-month 'non-enlightenment' retreat really made Wu Wang extremely tired. He slept for seven or eight hours before opening his sleepy eyes.
He immediately jumped up alertly because he found that he was in an unfamiliar corner of the hall.
But when I turned my head, I saw the old Shen Nong meditating beside me, and my heart that had just been raised was immediately relieved.
"Where's Fairy Ling?"
"Retreat in a quiet place," Shennong slowly opened his eyes. The Taoist rhyme around his body was introverted, mysterious and obscure, and he didn't know where he was.
Shennong suddenly asked: "Where does Tao come from?"
Wu Wan smiled calmly and sat down at the low table in front of Shen Nong, "Senior Fuxi asked for a dream."
"Um?"
Shen Nong frowned for a while, looked at Wu Wan with a complex expression, and sighed: "You are serious, I don't know what to say. Human Realm owes you a great kindness, and now there is 20% more hope against Tiantian Palace."
"Twenty percent? That much?"
"If you don't reach the transcendent realm and don't understand the meaning of the scriptures you wrote, the door to all the wonderful things is unreachable."
Shen Nong's eyes were full of emotion, "Did you really get it in a dream?"
"Look," Wu Wang spread his hands, "My own Tao realm has not changed. If I had understood these principles by myself, I would be at least a Heavenly Emperor-level master now."
"That's right," Shennong nodded slightly and stared at Wu Wan for a while, "Then why did Emperor Fuxi entrust you with a dream?"
"This is a matter of character and temperament."
“Don’t talk nonsense, this matter is related to the future of the human domain and even the wilderness, and will have an extremely far-reaching impact.
Wuwu, you should know what impact those few scriptures will have on the cultivation of immortality in the human realm. "
Shennong looked at Wu Wan and said seriously: "I have asked Liu Bairen and others, and they all agreed that they want to establish you as the successor of Emperor Fuxi..."
Wu Huan waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't spread this matter."
"Afraid of being targeted by Heavenly Palace?"
"On the one hand, that's the case; on the other hand, these things are not what I understand."
Wu Wan stared at Shennong and said seriously:
"I am just a transporter, and the one who entrusted me with the dream was the late Emperor Fuxi. This is also the idea that the late emperor did not have time to tell your seniors back then.
Don’t you think so, senior?
The fundamental reason why the method of cultivating immortals in the human realm has not made a big leap since Emperor Fuxi is that everyone only follows it without doubting it.
The great road is constantly evolving, and the heaven and earth are also constantly changing. If the concept of cultivation in the human realm stagnates, disaster will come.
Senior, those few scriptures are my gifts to the human realm.
I also hope that in the future, if I, Beiye, are threatened by the Heavenly Palace, the Human Realm, if it has spare power, can come to protect me. "
"Is this a covenant?"
"No, just a little hope."
"good."
Shennong nodded slowly and said sternly: "The value of these scriptures is enough for the Human Realm to unconditionally protect Beiye. If Beiye is attacked, the Human Realm will not only involve the Tiangong's combat power, but also send experts to help Beiye.
This is the promise of the Human Emperor and the promise of the Human Realm! "
Wu Wan stood up and put his left fist on his chest, "Thank you, His Majesty the Human Emperor."
"No thanks, I owe you a huge favor after all."
Shennong said with a smile, and added: "Let's forget about this matter. I will strictly order Liu Bairen and the others to keep it a secret and say that the scripture is a fragment of the late Emperor Fuxi.
Wuwu, what kind of reward do you want for yourself? "
"Repaying something is too serious," Wu Wan took out the star core sword from his sleeve.
Shennong snatched it away and said with a smile: "Look, I am really embarrassed to give such a big gift to Yu Yu."
Wu Wang gritted his teeth and said: "Help me forge it with the human realm weapon refining method! Make it a top-notch fairy treasure! It's best to increase the star path!"
Senior Shennong couldn't help but smile and narrow his eyes, put away the mining sword, and said: "It will take three months. I will find the best craftsman in the human realm to make it for you."
"The number one master craftsman?" Wu Wan suddenly became more energetic, "Who is it?"
"What, you want to poach someone?"
Shennong smiled proudly and said leisurely: "Is there anything else you want?"
"Show me Jingwei!"
"Here," Shennong raised his hand, and a cloud of mist appeared in front of Wu Wan. The light inside it flashed and quickly disappeared.
Wu Wan raised his hand, but could only sigh with unfinished meaning.
There are still one or two hundred years before we can meet again...
He asked: "Where is she?"
"This cannot be said," Shennong said warmly, "Don't worry, just practice with peace of mind, I will let Liu Bairen teach you the best physical cultivation method in the human world.
In addition, I also gave Liu Bairen a copy of the elixir and magic grass that I had treasured for many years.
Your help to the human realm this time is really too heavy, and I can only give you these benefits after racking my brains. "
Wu Wang clicked his tongue and smiled: "It's okay, it's all what the son-in-law should do."
"These are two different things!"
Shennong said with a solemn expression: "If there is an opportunity later, I will hunt other fierce gods for you. If you treat the human realm with sincerity, I will reciprocate. Even if I use the power of the Heavenly Palace to instill you, I will make you a master."
"Fine."
Wu Wan was a little unmotivated, his eyes were dull, and he always felt empty in his heart.
Shennong added calmly: "Help you get rid of the curse of the God of Fortune and get rid of strange diseases."
Wu Wan's eyes suddenly lit up with blazing flames!
He almost said that he actually still had chapters such as "Harmony of Light and Dust", "The Supreme Good Like Water", "Xu Ji Jing Du" and "Tao Follows Nature" that he could barely memorize.
Of course, he held back.
These good things must be used sustainably. If too much is shown to the human domain at once, the experts in the human domain will easily suffer from indigestion.
"Come," Shen Nong brushed his broad sleeves, and there were a few dishes and two wine glasses on the low table in front of him, "let's have a drink with our grandpa and grandson."
"Father-in-law, why are you being polite to me? Did you replace the wine cup with a new one?"
"This is a 50,000-year-old wine cup. I won't let anyone use it easily."
"I think the new items are actually fine... Good guys, how many people have used these?"
"Do you want to drink? Also, who is your father-in-law? Young people, please stop shouting."
"Drink, drink, let's do our own thing."
…
Tianyan Xuannv Sect, a secret place somewhere in the back mountain.
Beside the dense fairy pond, Xuannv Sect's leader Jing Yue sat quietly cross-legged, never leaving the fairy pond. There were more than a dozen old women sitting quietly on the left and right of the fairy pond, surrounding the place.
Even a grain of sand cannot come even half an inch closer to the fairy pond here.
Suddenly, an old woman came on a cloud, bowed and saluted more than ten feet away, and said, "Sect Master, the deputy master of the Renhuang Pavilion is here to visit. He said that he has a passage of scripture that he wants to personally deliver to the sect master."
"oh?"
Jingyue didn't open her eyes. A ray of fairy light floated around her and formed another 'Jingyue' behind her.
But he used the method of incarnation.
This incarnation left the various formations here and headed towards the front hall of Xuannv Sect on clouds, but Jingyue's body did not move at all.
In the pool water, the dense aura was much brighter than a few years ago, and a small figure wrapped in the innate fetal membrane could be faintly seen within it.
