The heavens preach

Page 450

After Confucius was lifted up by Chen Xixiang, his emotion was sincere:

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhongni, this time I came here just to ask for advice."

He has now cultivated to the ultimate level above the Divine Land, if he still has confusion about the Dao, and curiosity about the ancient history of the universe.

However, he looked through ancient and modern books, but he couldn't find any more answers.

Chen Xixiang smiled slightly, he didn't have any bad feelings towards this outstanding person on earth, besides, there was a record in history that Lao Tzu taught Confucius, so it was only right for him to explain his doubts.

"Why are you confused, tell me and listen."

Hearing this remark, Zhou Tianzi and all the officials were curious, and also wanted to hear the sermons of these two most sages and sages.

Zhou Tianzi said: "This place is poor, why don't you two sit in the palace and talk about it?"

"Alright."

Chen Xixiang did not refuse, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Son of Heaven."

Confucius didn't refuse either. If he wanted to ask for advice, it would definitely be a long conversation, and it was really inappropriate to start a search for the Tao in such a place.

After a moment.

A group of people moved to the palace where the royal family discussed state affairs. After Chen Xixiang was seated, he spoke slightly:

"Tell me about your problem."

At this time, after Confucius thought about it, he spoke slowly:

""Su Wen Pian" contains: I heard that people in ancient times lived to a hundred years old in spring and autumn, but their movements did not decline; people today are half a hundred years old, but their movements are all declining. What is the reason? The ancients recorded in it, and Why?"

This question immediately shocked Zhou Tianzi and the others. He really was a saint, and he asked such questions as soon as he opened his mouth.

At this time, including Yan Hui, a few disciples of Confucius, besides Zilu, the emperor and officials of the Zhou royal family also pricked up their ears.

This question of Confucius can be said to point directly at the secret of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

People in ancient times lived to a hundred years old in spring and autumn, and a hundred years was just one spring and autumn of the ancestors in ancient times. It is hard to imagine how long people's lifespans would be at that time.

Since there is such a record in the Plain Questions left by the Yellow Emperor, it must be true, but why is the current life expectancy greatly reduced?

Even if it is a person who is a practitioner, he can reach the sky to reach the stars, but he will die in a few hundred cold and heat.

What kind of era was the so-called ancient times?

Hearing this question, Chen Xixiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Ask on point."

This question is directly at the core of the Great Time and Space.

Chen Xixiang looked at Confucius' seeking knowledge, and answered slowly:

"To answer your first question first, why did people in ancient times live longer than a hundred years in spring and autumn, while people in this world live less and less, that's because..."

His tone was calm and his eyes were deep:

"In the distant chaotic ancient times, there was a great war between the heavens, the earth and the universe. That war destroyed the nine heavens and the ten earths. As for the lack of the Dao, the long-lived matter gradually decreased, so that the people of later generations lived shorter and shorter. "

After this answer appeared.

The whole hall was silent.

Because they didn't fully think that this question could be answered at the beginning. After all, it was a book left in the Yellow Emperor's era. Unless they were people in the Yellow Emperor's era, they might be able to understand it.

However, it was really easy for Mr. Lao Dan to answer, could it be...

Is he really an ancient existence in the same era as the human ancestor Huangdi?

Even Confucius' eyes couldn't help but tremble when he heard the 'great war that penetrated nine heavens and ten lands', and he immediately realized that he was right this time.

The old man in front of him can really solve all his doubts.

Like a man thirsty for water in the desert, Confucius suddenly saw the oasis in front of him, and his crazy thirst for knowledge made him immediately ask questions:

"May I ask what era is the chaotic ancient era? Where is the nine heavens and ten earths?"

This is a sentence that has never been seen in any classics.

Chen Xixiang said slowly:

"This is the question you asked just now, Ancient One."

He pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Since ancient history, from the era of Dilu, the universe of heaven, earth and the universe has experienced several great eras. Everything must start from the era of Diluo, which is the beginning of everything. There are as many immortals as there are horizontal sands, and immortality can be seen everywhere, even saints can obtain immortality by absorbing immortality from the fairyland..."

"However, there was a great war in the ancient era of Immortals, the heavens collapsed, all races rose together, foreign lands invaded, and the ancient era of Immortals came to an end..."

"After Immortal Ancient, we ushered in a chaotic era. Although the Immortal Territory was dilapidated, there was still a lot of immortality. At that time, one day the Emperor walked out from the wilderness. A grain of dust could fill the sea, and a blade of grass cut off the sun, moon, and stars. The world was turned upside down, fighting against an unimaginable enemy, the nine heavens and ten lands collapsed, the avenue was incomplete, and there was no choice but to arbitrarily judge the ages with one sword, and completely cut off the future generations from that time."

"That period of time was the time of 'ancient times' you asked about."

Confucius and his disciples, as well as Zhou Tianzi, all the ministers were shocked beyond measure when they heard these contents.

Although Chen Xixiang's words are very plain, they seem to have glimpsed the vicissitudes of life from between the lines, the era when everything started...the Immortal Era where saints can live forever...

and also……

"The Heavenly Emperor in the chaos of ancient times who ruled the ages with one sword...does he have a title?"

Confucius asked in admiration.

Chen Xixiang said softly: "The one who cut off the ancient history during the chaos of ancient times, the emperor's name is Huang, Huangtian Emperor."

Hearing this answer, it was hard for him to imagine what kind of power could cut off the ancient history, divide the years into two parts, and make the ancient times no longer...

When Confucius was shocked, Chen Xixiang continued:

"After the Great War of the Ancients, the nine heavens and the ten earths collapsed and turned into the myriad domains of the universe. This is the starry sky we are in today. The Dao was also lacking in the battles of the past, and it was difficult to live forever. Entering a new era, the world entered a war after the Ancients The era of self-cultivation is Minggu, after Minggu ushered in the age of mythology—immemorial age—desolate ancient era...and, now is the post-desolate ancient era..."

"Since the chaotic ancient times, not only has it been difficult to live long, but also practice has been difficult. In the chaotic ancient times, the supreme is only the top of the human realm, and there are immortals, immortal kings, and immortal emperors on top of it."

"After the ancient times, the fairyland was hidden, and the monks in the world had to go to the realm of the great emperor, and they could not enter anymore. Not only was the lifespan reduced to [-] to [-] years, but also only one person was allowed to become emperor in a lifetime..."

Accompanied by Chen Xixiang's calm and slightly sighing tone, Kong Qiu and the others couldn't help unfolding a picture scroll of time in their minds.

"This is an ancient history that has never been heard on the land of China..."

Kong Qiu was in a daze. Although he had guessed not all of the ancient history of the earth’s Shenzhou that he had read before, he still did not expect that, compared with the vast universe, with so many generations that have changed over time, the time on earth is less than tens of thousands of years. It was so small.

It turns out that on top of the Shenzhou chronology, there is also the chronology of the universe...

Ancient, ancient, mythical...

And, the chaotic ancient times known as the real 'Ancient', the Immortal Ancient Era.

I am afraid that it is no longer possible to use ten thousand years as a unit to record.

"It turns out that what I know is just a drop in the ocean of real ancient history..."

Kong Qiu couldn't help but smiled wryly, which made him feel a little ashamed, but it was more of joy after he had truly acquired knowledge.

After a while of digestion.

Confucius asked again:

"The teacher is really a great virtue. I have another question, I don't know what is the status of the Shenzhou where we are, and the vast universe beyond that?"

After Zhou Tianzi and others were shocked, they couldn't help but stare at this question immediately.

If it was said that Zhou Tianzi was still worrying about the invasion and competition of the vassal states above China, then after Chen Xixiang opened up the vast perspective of the universe just now, some intangible changes have taken place in his mood.

The pressure from the native China could not help but be subconsciously ignored by him a lot, and he turned his attention to this issue.

What is the existence of Shenzhou in the universe?

When Chen Xixiang was asked about this, his eyes slowly fell on Kong Qiu, he looked into the depths of his eyes, and smiled slightly:

"You just need to know that the place where we are standing has a great origin, even in the universe, the status is lofty and supreme..."

He didn't lie at all. The earth in Zhetian is different from the earth in other time and space. Strictly speaking, this is the corner of Kunlun after it was destroyed, and Kunlun is the corner of the fairyland in the past. Luo, there is a special road on it, the fairy bell and the green tripod all come from Kunlun.

Because of this, Emperor Zun planted 99 dragon mountains on the earth in the past, making the earth a "corpse raising place" that can nourish the emperor's corpse.

It is precisely because of this that the Yuhua Shenchao plundered all kinds of physical geniuses from the universe and wanted to water the green cauldron and open the road to immortality on the earth.

The elder brother of the Ruthless Emperor was brought to the earth and fell in the Kunlun Mountains of the earth.

All of this is because of the special nature of the earth.

All this can't be told to the people in front of me, because they still can't hold such a big secret.

If these are exposed.

The earth will immediately become a place of contention for the myriad domains of the universe.

Hearing Chen Xixiang's ambiguous and mysterious answer about the earth, Kong Qiu also knew that the old man was unwilling to reveal too much to them.

Confucius didn't ask any more questions, but after thinking about it, he asked another question:

"Mister has solved many doubts of the disciples? However, the disciples still have one last question, what is the Tao? How to prove the Tao?"

When Chen Xixiang heard the words, he immediately looked at Confucius with deep eyes. The other party didn't ask a question, or in other words, there were two meanings in one question.

One is the literal Tao, the other...

It is asking... the law of becoming an emperor.

Birth is boundless, but learning is also boundless? When Confucius himself stepped into the realm of the peak of the great sage on earth? He must want to know the realm above the great sage.

He is not just a scholar in history, he is also a great monk in this time and space that shrouds the sky.

"Tao can be Tao? It is not constant Tao."

Chen Xixiang smiled slightly: "The Dao cannot be spoken? I can only answer you what is the Dao of Heaven?"

"Tao can be said? Is it not constant..."

Confucius was shocked? He was immediately touched by these simple six words? What did he realize immediately? Hearing the second half of Chen Xixiang's sentence, he immediately got up and bowed deeply:

"The way of heaven? Please teach me the teacher!"

Chen Xixiang said slowly: "Tao is not something inconceivable, so it is unspeakable, and there must be mistakes? But... the sky can be spoken? It can even be seen? It can be proved? It can be surpassed..."

After a pause or two, he said slowly:

"The way of heaven, damage more than enough and make up for what is not enough? The way of man is to damage what is not enough and give more than enough."

"When the way of man can be like the way of heaven, the way can be proved."

Hear this.

The pupils of Confucius' eyes constricted for a moment, and the whole body was covered with cold sweat:

"The way of heaven is to make up for what is not enough, and the way of man is to make up for what is not enough. If people can be like heaven..."

this moment.

Even Zhou Tianzi felt the hairs on his back, he didn't practice enough, he couldn't hear the true meaning of practice behind this sentence, he only understood it in a literal sense, and felt that Chen Xixiang had uttered a terrible truth.

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

The way of heaven is precious and constant, and treats all things as dogs, and treats them equally, so it pays the most attention to the balance of yin and yang.

Just like a bucket of water, if it overflows, the way of heaven will begin to balance, and move its surplus to another insufficient place in the universe.

This is called the way of heaven, to make up for what is lacking and what is damaged.

The way of man is not so, the loss is not enough and the service is more than enough.

Zhou Tianzi was covered in cold sweat precisely because of this sentence.

This is the way of man.

Damage yourself, complement others.

Gather the wealth of the poor and the humble to flatter the noble heart.

The lower classes lived in bare houses and suffered a lot.

The wealth of the upper class is inexhaustible.
