History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 239 Fengzi, Laozi, and the Theory of Near-Sages

Lao Tzu sighed deeply: "Inconceivable pictures, unspeakable sutras."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" was held in my hands by Lao Tzu, and I was filled with emotion.

"This thing is of great good fortune, please let Fengzi borrow it for observation."

I bowed slightly to Feng Yun.

There is nothing wrong with Feng Yun.

"Books are common to all human beings. Mr. Lao Dan is wise and will not be confused by the weirdness of this mountain and sea map, so he can naturally appreciate it."

weird……

Indeed, when he was in Yuyue and saw the map of mountains and seas for the first time, Master Fan once warned Feng Yun not to look too much, lest he be confused by it and affect his Taoist mind.

It can be seen that although books are things that people can look at, people who look at them need to consider them, so as not to hurt people's Taoism and lead them astray.

"Haha..." I smiled and put the "Book of Mountains and Seas" on the table. Without looking at it first, I pushed another thing out of the table.

That thing that Feng Yun said was ugly and witchy.

"Does Fengzi know the details of this thing?"

It's just the things of the Ten Witches, but it's not enough.

I stroke my beard.

"The emperor has woken up at this time, but his blood has been stolen by evil spirits."

What!

Feng Yun was shocked, how could the King of Baiyue steal the emperor's hard work in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

There was also surprise in Lao Dan's eyes, but after going to see the Emperor, he was able to see the clues with the eyes of a saint, the heart of a saint, and the power of morality.

"Fengzi didn't know that the evil spirit turned into a woman by some trick, and actually had intercourse with the emperor and became pregnant."

"It is because of this pregnancy that Zhou Tian was confused and the evil spirits had an opportunity to take advantage of her."

"Pregnant?" Feng Yun stopped talking and then said in a daze: "Yaoxie is pregnant?"

I nodded and didn't make any lies.

Feng Yun hesitated, but still told the truth about his premeditated actions against the King of Baiyue, so that I could find a solution to the matter with him.

When I heard this, my beard twitched, but I was dumbfounded. I looked at Feng Yun speechlessly.

The moonlight was confused and fell slantingly into the palace.

Feng Yun waved his hand and the oil lamps all lit up.

Lao Tzu took advantage of this and praised it in the introduction: "Fengzi has an extraordinary talent for the hexagrams of the Zhouyi."

The family hexagram - the fire is lowering and the wind is rising, it is about to explode at the first touch, which is the art of inducing desire for the fire in the heart.

Instead of using the fire of Li Gua, use the fire of family members’ desires to light the lamps around you.

This lamp only provides light, but little warmth.

It's particularly cold in this cold autumn season.

Feng Yun said softly: "Family...what is family, country, clan, clan..."

"When I discussed the country and the people with Mr. Lao Dan, it was not the same. They were all human desires."

Lao Tzu nods and the family hexagram can be used as the art of desire.

However, the two of them did not delve deeper into their desires, but placed the silver-horned object in the middle of the table.

This is something that cannot be escaped, and both of them have a desire to explore.

"There is a inheritance among them, maybe Fengzi can know about it."

Feng Yun did not refuse, but stretched out his hand to find out what was going on with his mysterious energy.

"witch…"

It is the breath of the witch doctor, ancient and majestic.

Feng Yun couldn't be more familiar with it.

"This is the inheritance of Wu Peng, one of the ten ugly witches."

"Wu Peng..." Lao Dan turned over the pages of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and soon he came to Wu Peng, whose summary was that Wu Peng was a minister of the Yellow Emperor, and he practiced the elixir of immortality.

The elixir of immortality.

"Immortal, this may explain it." Feng Yun shook his head, extremely helpless.

Human life and death are the laws of heaven, and there are those who are dissatisfied with them.

"The life and death of human beings depends on the way of heaven, and all things follow the laws; the life and death of the human race depends on people, and it is the continuation and inheritance of the way of humanity." Feng Yun said softly, clarifying this relationship.

Lao Tzu nodded, he advocated letting nature take its course, that is, all things follow laws.

Feng Yun advocates putting people first, which is the continuation and inheritance of humanity.

The two of them do not conflict, but can complement each other and view the world together.

"How to solve it?" I asked.

Feng Yun waved his hand, and the surroundings changed.

The witch once left Feng Yun a magic spell.

In addition, in the "Book of Changes", the hexagram Sui Gua - Lei Xia Shang Ze, is unpredictable and seems to be an ever-changing technique.

For a moment, around Laozi and Feng Yun, the sky and the earth stretched out and became extremely open. The two of them lived on the cliff, watching the mysterious energy turn into seal characters and murals.

"When Yun Zeng was in Baiyue, he obtained the secret of the Ji family, which can be regarded as one of the ten ugly witches - the true witchcraft inheritance."

"Then I went to the Ba Kingdom and learned the secret of the Ba Kingdom. It can be passed down by the witch, one of the ten ugly witches."

In fact, Feng Yun was inherited by Nuwa, who had a complete set of ten methods of female ugliness and witchcraft. However, she still had an appointment with An Feng, but could not reveal this to Laozi.

All he could say was: "Yun also has some knowledge about the other seven witches."

Among Feng Yun's ten methods for dealing with female ugliness, only the witch doctor method was accomplished, and the other nine methods were not touched.

After reading this Wu Peng inheritance, he realized that the witch doctor method he learned was from this Wu Peng inheritance.

The King of Baiyue had so many plans, but they all rested on the Nuwa family. Unfortunately, time has passed and the world no longer knows who the Nuwa family is.

"The Ten Ugly Witches..."

Feng Yun waved his hand, and from the murals, huge mountain-like statues flew out of the murals, towering in the sky and the earth. They were lifelike, with different shapes, with snake bodies and human faces. They were holding green snakes and red snakes in their left and right hands respectively, as if they were closing their eyes and meditating.

And as the ten witches appeared, a larger statue of an ugly woman was condensed in it.

witch!

Good at medicine, sacrifice and divination, the abilities of witches created an ancient witch culture. They were able to communicate with heaven and earth, possess great wisdom, and teach the development of human civilization.

This is also the reason why Nuwa created the witchcraft.

"Nv Chou is the witch god. It was inherited from Nuwa and was born out of Luo Shu. Its ten methods are - blessing you as a doctor, eating grain as a farmer, divination as a prayer, offering sacrifices as a priest, channeling spirits as a dance, and uniting hunting as a war.

Returning them is the form, driving the beasts is the taming, alchemy is the craftsmanship, and the elders are the history.”

"When Yun was recording "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", he recorded that there were mountains in the wilderness named Fengju, Yumen, where the sun and the moon enter; there were Lingshan, Wupeng, Wupan, Wuxian, Wuli, and Wugu,

Wu Ji, Wu Xiang, Wu Zhen, Wu Da, Wu Luo and ten witches will rise and fall from now on, and the love of hundreds of medicines will be there."

Spirit, witch.

"These ten witches come from the west of the wilderness, the land of Fengju. However, where Fengju is cannot be explored, but we can know that most of them are from Badi."

"These ten witches are legendary in different years, but they all have their own legends."

Feng Yun and Laozi continued to explore, and before they knew it, they were chatting and discussing Taoism with witchcraft. Before they knew it, it was already dawn.

…

And because of the discussion of the two near-sage men, all kinds of strange phenomena appeared frequently in the heaven and the earth...

In the land of Fenghao in Zongzhou, as the morning light breaks through the clouds, the clouds and mists disperse, the sky is brilliant, and countless colorful birds fly and sing loudly.

The fiery red phoenix rises with the sun and hovers over Fenghao City.

Fengming Qishan!

Before the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a legend that King Wen came from the country and landed in Qishan, which was a good omen for the Zhou Dynasty.

"good omen!"

"Feng Ming Feng Hao, Great Zhou Jide!"

There was an uproar, and in the land of Fenghao, the people of Zhou put down their important things one after another, and raised their heads on their toes, expecting the phoenix to fall on Fenghao.

In the Zhou Palace, the emperor was leaning on the couch, surrounded by only a few servants. His face was pale, which showed that he was seriously injured yesterday.

But with the sound of the phoenix's cry, the emperor's face turned red.

This is a sign of rising fortune in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, his injuries were suppressed.

"Fengming!"

The emperor pushed away the servant and stood up excitedly.

"Haha, the way of heaven favors the poor!"

"Quickly go and watch..."

Following the emperor's actions, the scholar-bureaucrats among Fenghao also went to court one after another and followed the emperor outside the palace to observe the auspicious omen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But after watching for a long time, the emperor's face gradually became worried.

The scholar-bureaucrats did not dare to speak, and they were all uneasy.

The people of Fenghao have begun to discuss the matter.

All because the phoenix bird hangs high and hovers in the sky without falling.

But listen——

"witch!"

With the sound of witchcraft, the Taoist relationship between Feng Yun and Laozi came out clearly in the Palace of Classics.

A man with a snake tail, blue lines on his forehead, and a pair of yin and yang fish behind him that are constantly changing...

Riding a green bull, he has white hair and an old face, and the clear and turbid Qi all over his body is constantly floating...

"Fengzi, I!"

For a time, millions of people in Fenghao felt something in their hearts and recognized the two Taoisms.

The name of the saint is still in my heart.

It has been a hundred years since the Great Zhou Dynasty saw a human being who stepped into the status of a saint on his own.

Those with holy power are mostly blessed by national luck.

At this time, relying on oneself to become a near-sage has reached the pinnacle, and everyone is amazed.

"Chirp!" The phoenix screamed and flew away, seemingly about to fall.

The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats were both happy, but they saw the swaggering phoenix bird just hovering in the palace of classics, between Feng Yun and Laozi.

And the strange phenomena in the sky of the Great Zhou Dynasty also converged on the two of them.

At this time, no one knew that this monstrous scene was caused by two people.

Two near-sage men are discussing the Tao and realizing it!

"Will a new saint appear in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

I don't know who asked the question.

Judging from this scenario, it is very possible!

Everyone's thoughts are unclear.

Just look at Feng Yun and Lao Tzu——

"Observe the world, live in the world, control the world, and follow the trend of the world; the former is the ambition, the present is the policy, and the latter is the development, expanding the mystery of the world, and the way of humanity." Feng Yun said quietly, but it spread far and wide, and continued to follow the great Zhou Dynasty.

Come out and be known to the world.

Lao Tzu also said: "One yuan begins again, Tao follows nature, the nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the name of the mother virtue of all things..."

The discussion between the two was known to everyone in the world, but this time, neither of them had any reservations and both spoke out their own truth. Among the near saints, there are few people who can listen.

And even those who are innate, because Feng Yun and Laozi are the pioneers of the Tao, and they are different from the later Tao they learned, they know the greatness of their Tao, but they don't realize how great it is.

Sporadic listening, sporadic understanding...

Buzz!

Even so, among the millions of people in Fenghao of the Great Zhou Dynasty, many intelligent people are approaching strangers and becoming strangers, and there are endless voices of astonishment.

Fengzi discussed Taoism with Laozi, and his reputation grew higher and higher. Many people seeking Taoism and strangers rushed here to get advice.

As for Feng Yun and Laozi, they have now discovered a corner of the Tao among witches.

It shows the true nature of man.

It can tell the yin and yang of life and death.

It can detect the body, soul and mind.

The five elements can be manipulated to evolve all things.

Both of them have made further progress in the way of saints.

The world created by Feng Yun has dispersed, but the Taoism has not.

The two of them looked at each other in the sky.

Discussing the Tao can also be seen as arguing and arguing.

Now that it has been discussed, it is natural to have a dispute.

"Mr. Lao Dan, this time I suddenly realized that all things have animism and creation, and I know that all things have magic. This time, I will use this creation to discuss what I have gained."

All things have animism, and as long as they are living creatures, they all have their own skills to survive.

The technique is attributed to the Five Elements and can be reversed to obtain the method of evolution.

The technique returns to the body, soul, and mind, and the method of the three spirits is understood.

The technique is based on yin and yang, and it is the method of connecting life and death between changes.

Finally good luck!

"Sacrifice it with a flag and summon the phoenix bird!"

The green branch fell into the hand and turned into a big green flag.

The high-flying phoenix bird surprised Feng Yunqi and seemed to be watching.

Feng Yun waved the flag, and the phoenix bird soared in different forms, turning into the five qi in the world, gathering continuously, and condensed into a fire in front of Feng Yun.

All living things in the world are composed of body, soul, will and three spirits.

Feng Yunxiao uses the method of three spirits to gather the body, nourish the soul, and open the will.

This fire is already like an embryo and an egg.

As the Yin and Yang Pisces spit out two black and white beads from behind him, they sank into the egg, and in an instant, the creature inside broke out of the shell.

The phoenix sings loudly!

A phoenix bird spreads its flames, flying between heaven and earth with its blazing fire.

It's not like the alien appearance before, but an almost vivid creature.

Everything around him is moved by it, and all people's hearts are guided by it.

It can be said that these are humane creatures that spread their wings for humans.

The phoenix bird fell under Feng Yun Taoist Prime Minister, lay on the snake's tail, and held Feng Yun Taoist Prime Minister in the sky. The different phases around him also channeled their spirits to protect Feng Yun.

.

Lao Dan's eyes sparkled and he laughed.

"The Tao of Creation enlightens the human race, but it also enlightens all things, which is in line with the natural state of Tao."

Lao Dan patted the green cow, and the pure and turbid air surged out, following his own spiritual light.

"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and inject qi into harmony."

The pure air is at the top, the turbid air is at the bottom, and people are in the middle.

Just like the three states of heaven, earth and man.

Followed.

The clear energy transformed into a middle-aged man who was younger than Lao Dan. His face was majestic and he looked at the world like the sky.

The turbid air transformed into a young man who was much younger than the old man. He had a generous face and looked like a man.

Finally, there is the old Dan who is still the same as before.

The three of them looked at Feng Yun together, but their smiles revealed different personalities.

"I suddenly realized that the origin of inaction is that the human body is evil, the soul is good, the will changes, one Qi transforms the three pure things, all things are unified, and different paths lead to the same destination. This is the way of the saint."

After all, when the three are combined into one, their momentum is even greater, approaching the peak of a saint.

The two reveal their own secrets.

Feng Yun's body is full of different creatures, all guarding the world and maintaining order.

But I was alone, riding a green bull and laughing.

This is……

Fengzi uses the wonderful gates to gather the power of the human race, but he does not limit all spirits and follows the path of creation.

Lao Tzu unites all things into one, absorbs the virtues of human beings, and brings wisdom to himself, practicing the way of a sage.

The Tao of the two also revealed the biggest difference at this time.

The potential to complement each other becomes stronger and stronger.

"The mysterious way is not the way of the saints." Old Dan laughed.

Feng Yun also said with a smile: "Xuan Dao is not a holy way, but Xuan Dao has thousands of holy ways."

Old Dan nodded and sighed: "Xuanzhe can do medicine, agriculture, administration, and the way of heaven and earth. All you need to do is make personal decisions with humanity in mind... My way is also included in it."

Feng Yun bowed to Lao Tzu, but this time he gained Lao Tzu's approval, which greatly facilitated his mysterious way.

Then he concluded in one sentence: "Saints are created, saints are created, saints are born when people gather, and saints are passed down to give birth to people. They are all born from people, and they are all manifestations of human nature."

Lao Tzu's way is like looking down at the world and seeing the bright sun in the sky. It is to create saints and lead the world.

The way of Fengzi is like looking up at the world and standing up for self-improvement, which is to bring good fortune to the world and open up the world.

Both of them are great wisdom, great saints and sages, and their virtues are a blessing to the human race.

After these words, the discussion between Laozi and Feng Yun, even if it could not help them break through to the status of saints, was a step closer to the goal.
