Hong Huang: Patriarch Styx, please bleed into the sea

Chapter 90 Divide the merits and Nuwa enters the netherworld

The Four Symbols generate the Bagua, that is to say, adding a Yang Yao or Yin Yao to each of the Four Symbols: Shaoyang, Lao Yang, Shaoyin, and Lao Yin, resulting in eight new symbols.

For example, if you add a yang line to Shaoyin, the result is called Li Gua; if you add a yin line to it, the result is called Zhen Gua.

By analogy, they are generated as Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7 and Kun 8.

This order of arrangement of the eight trigrams and their number are the numbers of the innate eight trigrams. From left to right, it is called the innate eight trigrams horizontal diagram.

The generation of innate numbers is due to the chaotic Tai Chi, which is formless, imageless and has no position. It is just the generation of one Qi, the sequential addition of yin and yang, and the natural creation of numbers from one to eight, so it is called "innate".

Yi has Tai Chi, which generates two rituals, two rituals generate four images, and four images generate Bagua. Therefore, the way of Bagua is not just the sum of the eight great ways?

Instead, it combines a variety of avenues. In addition to the eight avenues of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, volcanoes, and swamps, there is also the path of Yin and Yang, the path of four images, the path of Tai Chi, etc.

Styx swallowed the source of the Bagua on the spot and began to refine it. As he continued to refine it, his understanding of the Tao of the Bagua gradually deepened, and he understood various avenues.

Styx also understood better that the Tao of Bagua could even accommodate infinitely, and it could also accommodate all the great avenues between heaven and earth.

The ways of time and space, the ways of light and darkness, the ways of life and death, the ways of creation and destruction, etc., thousands of avenues are integrated into one furnace.

This principle is somewhat similar to Styx's concept of the great road.

"The Tao of Bagua is also the Tao of Yi. This Tao can also be integrated into my Tao, which can strengthen my Tao and make the concept of my Tao more solid."

Styx began to try to integrate the Eight Diagrams into his own killing method, so that his killing method also contained various changes of the Eight Diagrams.

…

At the same time, it was said that thirty-three days away, in the Emperor Wa's heaven, in the virgin Wa's dojo.

At this time, all the saints gathered together, including Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, and even the five great saints Jie Yin and Zhunti.

The saints are all discussing how to distribute the three emperors and five emperors regarding the great prosperity of the human race.

Yes, the human race flourished and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were born. This is a great merit.

Even if you are not the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors yourself, if you assist the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and become the teachers of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, you can still gain a lot of merit.

All the saints are competing for the merits of the teachers of the three emperors and the teachers of the five emperors.

But after all, the Three Qing Dynasties are the most powerful. Even though the Three Qing Dynasties are now divided, the Three Qing Dynasties have always been xenophobic towards the West.

So, with the guidance and the bitter expressions of Brother Zhunti, the saints completed the distribution of merits.

Among them, all the merits of the three emperors' teachers belong to Sanqing. None of Jie Yin and Zhunti gained anything.

Yuanshi wants the merits of the Emperor's Master and the Human Emperor's Master, while Tongtian wants the merits of the Earth Emperor's Master.

As for the Masters of the Five Emperors, Jie Yin and Zhunti broke their throats and only gained merit from two of them.

The merits of the remaining three also belong to Sanqing.

The strange thing is that I don't want any of them, neither the merits of the teachers of the Three Emperors nor the merits of the teachers of the Five Emperors.

Instead, they were all given to Yuanshi and Tongtian.

Yuanshi had already received the merits of the Emperor's Master and the Human Emperor's Master before, and it was the turn of the Five Emperors' Masters, and two of them were divided between the two of them. After all, they could not be bullied too much.

There has to be something for two mouths to eat.

As for the merits of the remaining three Masters of the Five Emperors, Yuanshi received one more, and Tongtian received the last two.

In this way, the merits of the Master of the Three Emperors and the Master of the Five Emperors were all divided. Except for Laozi who said he didn't want it, Nuwa also said she didn't need it.

Instead, he used the merits of the Master of the Three Emperors and the Master of the Five Emperors in exchange for his brother Fuxi to be reincarnated as the Emperor, one of the Three Emperors.

This was unanimously approved by the three Qing Dynasties. Seeing that the three Qing Dynasties all agreed, the two Western sages Jie Yin and Zhunti naturally could not object and also agreed.

After all, if they disapprove, then the merits of the Master of the Five Emperors may be reduced again.

He might even be kicked out directly.

There is no way, Jie Yin and Zhunti are so humble, who are called Sanqing and Nuwa, they are either direct disciples or close disciples.

And they just registered their names?

"Junior sister, your brother wants to become the emperor, but he has to be reincarnated. To do this, you still need to go there and convince Fengdu that there is still Empress Pingxin," I said.

Hearing this, Nuwa, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and the Four Saints couldn't help but look sad.

So much so that the joy of just dividing the merits of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was diluted a lot.

The Netherworld has always been a concern for all saints.

That's where they can't get involved.

In fact, they dare not get involved easily. After all, Houtu is invincible in the Netherworld.

Can easily suppress the saints.

"I will resolve this matter myself." Nuwa said after being silent for a while.

In order to give her brother the opportunity to become the emperor of the human race, she also made up her mind.

Even if the underworld is dangerous, you still have to go through it.

"Good!" Upon hearing this, all the saints said one after another.

So, not long after, Nuwa left the Emperor Wa's Heaven, entered the wilderness, and headed straight for the Netherworld.

When Nuwa entered the underworld, the first person she went to visit was not Houtu but Fengdu.

In the city of Fengdu, Fengdu appeared, met Nuwa, and said with a smile: "Why do you have time to come to my underworld?"

Nuwa glanced at Fengdu, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and said: "To be honest, I came here this time to ask for help from fellow Taoists."

"oh?"

Fengdu had a look of surprise on his face and said, "How can your empress still ask for anything from me?"

Fengdu personally brewed tea for Nuwa. The water he used was water from the Netherworld Yellow Spring. The brewed tea had a unique fragrance.

Nuwa took a sip and praised: "My Taoist friend's tea is very sweet, and it also has many benefits for the soul. It can make people's consciousness clear and closer to the Tao."

"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary." Fengdu said.

After the two sipped tea, they started to communicate and gradually started talking to each other.

What Nuwa said is naturally the way of creation, which is very mysterious and profound.

It seemed to contain the principles of heaven, and when Fengdu heard it, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised him again and again, saying that he had learned a lot.

After that, Fengdu also preached. What surprised Nuwa was that Fengdu also preached about the way of creation.

But it also contains the way of life and death, which is the transformation and circulation of life and death and includes the derived way of creation.

When Nuwa heard this, her eyes could not help but shine.

In this way, the two discussed Tao for thousands of years before finally stopping.

"Thank you, Madam, for preaching." Fengdu thanked him.

Nuwa also quickly returned the gift.

Just as he was about to speak, Fengdu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to say more, I already know what your Majesty has done."

"Brother Fuxi wants to be reincarnated. I dare not stop him. You can ask Empress Pingxin. She is the master of reincarnation."

After hearing this, Nuwa thanked Fengdu again, then said goodbye and left, and then went to find the queen.

Houtu also built a palace in the netherworld, called Houtu Palace. Houtu also means Houtu.

Nuwa came to the Houtu Palace to pay her respects, and was welcomed in not long after.

I don’t know what the two talked about, but in the end, Hou Tu agreed to let Fu Xi reincarnate.

As a result, Fuxi entered the human realm, one of the six paths of reincarnation, and began to reincarnate.
