In the past few days, Wu Sheng has been immersed in reading the bamboo slips. These piles of bamboo slips are treasures accumulated by the academy for hundreds of years. Most of them are written by predecessors, and a small part are Lu Tong's own monographs.
Among the previous works, there are "Donghuangtai Yiyi", "Four Masters' Record" of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning, "Zhurong's Fire", Rishen's "Dongjun Biography", Yuexian's "Chang'e Biography", Feng Bo's "Fei Lian Kao", "Yun Zhongjun", "Di Shen Pu", "Xiang Jun Ya Fu", "He Bo" and so on.
Lu Tong also wrote many works, including "Mrs. Xiang", "Luo Bin Kao", "Tian Shen Xing Yao", "Gushe Mountain Immortal Biography", and the last one is "King Yu" which has not yet been revised.
Wu Sheng searched for a long time, but there were no great gods such as Pangu and Nuwa. He couldn't help but think about it, and on a whim, he wrote and conceived the story of Pangu's creation of the world.
"In the past, the two rituals were not separated, and the sky and the moon were not yet formed. The sun and the moon did not exist, and they were shaped like chickens. They were chaotic and black and yellow, and Pangu was born in them. Eighteen thousand years ago, the sky and the earth were opened, and the clear yang became the sky, and the yin and turbidity became the earth... …”
It took less than half a day to write a thousand-word chapter eloquently. I feel that my literary talent is outstanding, and my lips and teeth are fragrant after reading it. Is it possible that my realm has improved, and my cultural level has also increased with it?
Although the article was written, it could not be preached or made public. It could only be understood by him in seclusion in King Yu's cave. It was an illusion, with incomplete pictures and mostly supplemented by speculation without any evidence, which was a pity.
But then I thought about it, there are already enough gods confirmed by the Academy. Wouldn't I be asking for trouble if I set up another creation god? Although people in the world believe in many gods, the birth of Pangu will not affect King Yu's belief in believers, but as the creator god, his status will definitely surpass King Yu, and the power of belief may be divided a lot.
Forget it, this article will be treated as my own conjecture, and I will stay with the Academy to study it. I’ll just tell the truth about King Yu.
Since he wanted to concentrate on teaching about King Yu, he had to prepare lessons. There was nothing to prepare in terms of text and content. Wu Sheng had it in his mind that what he needed were some auxiliary teaching aids. He made a special trip to Shouchun and forced Wan Tao to paint more than ten paintings day and night. He then took these paintings to the Alchemist Hall and discussed with Sang Tianwu for many days before he was ready.
Suddenly, it was Lu Tong's turn to teach, and Wu Sheng arrived at the thatched cottage in the northeast of the south courtyard. It was already overcrowded.
The thatched cottage is supported by eight large pillars, six feet wide and nine feet deep. The pillars are not carved, the beams are not decorated, and the top is covered with thatch, so it is called thatched cottage. I heard that after Lu Tong offered wine to him, he felt that the teaching buildings were too elaborate, extravagant in style, and had no ancient connotations, which was contrary to what he wanted to say about the inheritance and origin of ancient immortals and gods, so he chose another place to build this place. The thatched cottage only retains its simplicity.
The thatched cottage is open, transparent on all sides, and has no walls. What really separates it from the outside is a circle of dense bamboo forest. Wu Sheng liked this method very much, and suddenly felt much taller.
The new minister preached the Dharma, and many people came to support him. Most of them were curious and wanted to take a look at this lucky man who was said to have had the opportunity to find the cave of King Yu, and thus broke into seclusion.
The original two hundred seats in the thatched cottage were already full. Because there were so many people, three more seats were added outside, bringing a total of more than three hundred people in.
Taoist Feiyu welcomed him in and said: "When they heard about the preaching, everyone rushed to tell each other, so much so that even the thatched cottage in the south courtyard couldn't accommodate it. Such a grand occasion has rarely been seen in recent years."
Wu Sheng sighed: "This is putting me on the fire. If I don't speak well, I may be laughed at by the world."
After entering the thatched cottage, ascending to the podium, and taking a seat on the half-height stage, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall turned around, and they were suddenly solemn.
Taoist Feiyu sang: "We respectfully invite Sun Fengxing to give a lecture on the stage!"
Immediately, hundreds of people in the audience bowed down in unison.
Wu Sheng glanced above for a few times. The worshipers in the audience showed their postures. Some were respectful and prostrated themselves on the futon, with their foreheads touching the ground, sincerely asking for advice; some were half-bowed, but their eyes were secretly They looked up, full of curiosity; some lowered their heads, but looked forward and backward, looking around; some dealt with it perfunctorily, finishing things hastily, not forgetting to whisper to the people around them.
Today in the thatched cottage, Wu Sheng was both imparting Dharma and preaching. Most of the people below were curious and few were devoted to the teachings. Therefore, the first step was to drive out those who were just here to join in the fun or even deliberately cause trouble. Lest they affect the atmosphere of the sermon.
Of course, you can't forcefully expel him or offend people unnecessarily. Wu Sheng will not do this kind of thing.
"Everyone, Sun is very frightened and has been entrusted by the Great Sacrificial Wine to teach a few lessons temporarily. As you all know, Sun was in Yangzhou not long ago. He lives in the same place as you and can be said to be a fellow-traveler. There are many of you, His cultivation is deeper than Sun's, his Tao skills are more exquisite than Sun's, and he can even be Sun's teacher in the battle of skills. So really speaking, Sun doesn't dare to teach, but he is cautious and competes with his colleagues. , so far the two groups are fighting, I hope you won’t laugh at me.”
His modesty immediately aroused laughter.
"Sun Fengxing, please don't be humble. You have entered the void, and we, the seniors, can ask for your guidance."
"Sun Fengxing, let's start talking, don't waste time."
"Why are you so unconfident? What you practice is what you practice. If you have nothing to say, please start speaking."
"That's right, we are all gathered here, listening attentively and adhering to the righteousness of small words!"
"I want to hear how Sun Fengxing broke through the cave immediately after discovering it. He is really evil!"
"Hey, you said Sun Feng was not good at fighting, and he admitted it."
"Shh, keep your voice down. I'll do the surgery on you later."
"Am I afraid of him? If we hadn't saved him that day, he might have been kicked out of the mountain a long time ago. Where would he have the chance to break through?"
"Maybe we can break through on the fourth peak? Haha!"
The discussion below was getting worse and worse. Although Sun Wu had been the focus of attention among the monks in the academy because of the "Five Walking Links" incident, and even had a vague sense of "hero", one day he suddenly broke through and entered the void. , has become the pursuit of being superior to others, and there will always be some people who are not balanced in their hearts, and sarcastic remarks will inevitably come out.
Taoist Feiyu heard something was wrong and was about to solemnize the order, but saw Wu Sheng pressing his hand towards him to indicate that nothing happened.
Wu Sheng smiled, and regardless of what was said below, he started to speak on the platform. What he was talking about was not King Yu's miracles, but King Yu's life experiences.
He started from the birth of Yu, talked about how he dealt with people in daily life, and how to win reputation, focusing on water control. He told the story of how he passed through the house three times without entering, and reformed the method of water control, from blocking to dredging. After thirteen years, After hard work, the rivers and seas were finally restored and the world was at peace.
The content of the story is all about how he devoted himself to serving the people. There is nothing immortal, not divine, or even a bit of practice. There was a buzzing murmur in the hall.
Everyone came to listen to how to practice, and wanted to understand Taoism through the power of immortals and gods. Wu Sheng talked like this for more than half an hour, which inevitably made people drowsy, and the listeners slowly drifted away.
From 300 people to 200 people, then from 200 people to 100 people, and finally not even 100 people.
Taoist Feiyu next to him was anxious: "Feng Xing, you are not teaching the right way!"
