7. The sea is immeasurable

(Sorry, this one is water again, the mentally retarded author is really not available today, but don't worry, the setting is almost done, and this volume will be very short.) Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Soon to the next volume: Oriental Troubles. )

In the evening, in the open space of Hakurei Shrine, the face of Yakumoji Temple, who had returned from the world where the dragon god was located, kept twitching, and he smiled stupidly.

Then, slowly thinking about flying to the underworld.

From the morning when Yakumoji went to the world where the dragon god was, until now he returns.

Time, almost ten hours have passed.

During these ten hours, Yakumo Temple carefully asked the dragon god about many ciphers about the pan-world and the world, as well as the creation and construction of the world.

Of course, there are many things that Yakumoji in Gensokyoji doesn't know about, and Yakumoji has also asked Ryujin carefully.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't ask, when you ask, Yakumo Temple is completely messy.

The three views that had finally stabilized were once again shattered into slag.

It all started when Yakumoji asked the dragon god about the fragment of the creation blue lotus in Gensokyo.

I still remember that Yakumoji asked at the beginning.

"If everything in the world is really as you say it is, you can change it at will...... So, can you change the things in Gensokyo at will? That fragment of the Creation Blue Lotus is actually just a part of the Dragon God's power, right?"

Ryujin's answer was also very simple.

"No, the fragment of the Creation Blue Lotus is the fragment that appeared when the pan-world first opened the sky, not the fragment of my world, and I can't do anything to Gensokyo at all.

Also, don't you think that the immortals and saints in this world during the flood period are too weak?

After just a few thousand years of sleep, it's time to reach the Great War of the Gods, don't you think there's a problem?"

In fact, if the dragon god doesn't break this matter, Yakumo Temple will ...... I really didn't realize that the flood I had experienced was so problematic.

Flood ...... How many years did it last?

How old are those powerful people in the wilderness?

Nobody knows.

But...... Yakumo Temple knew about these two units.

【Robbery】

【Yuanhui】

In Buddhism, calamities are divided into major eons, medium eons, and minor eons.

A small catastrophe represents 16.798 million years, which is a small catastrophe. The life expectancy starts from the initial 84,000 years old, decreases by one year every 100 years to 10 years, and then increases by one year every 100 years from the age of 10 years to the original 84,000 years.

Mathematically, one eons is equal to (84,000-10) x 100 x 2, i.e. 16,798,000 years.

One middle calamity combined with twenty small calamities is one middle calamity, and one middle calamity has a total of 335.96 million years.

Zhu Fuhuang's "Dictionary of the Law and Appearance" explains a catastrophe: Yoga two volumes and six pages of clouds: In this world, twenty calamities are bad, twenty calamities are empty, twenty calamities are completed, and twenty calamities have been lived. If it is eighty calamities, it is pretended to be a great calamity. -- In this case, the Great Eons are equivalent to 26,876.8 million years. The total number of epocalyptas and dwelling calamities is 13,438.4 million years.

Relevant scientific data: The modern universe uses the most advanced detection methods, such as Dutch astronomers by measuring the ratio of thorium and neodymium, and measured the age of the universe to be 12 billion years.

(This is a scary paragraph.) )

And the word Yuanhui may have been heard by many people.

For example, it is written in a certain novel: 'The old Taoist practice xx yuanhui, I have never seen ......' or something like that.

Yuanhui = 129,600 years, which means the time unit of ancient mythology (measuring robbery), the emperor on New Year's Day will meet the ministers called Zhenghui, also known as Yuanhui.

The time and space of the infinite incarnation of all things in heaven and earth are originally infinite, and the aggregate set of space is called "universe", and the aggregate set of time is called "universe".

For the convenience of the epoch, in the infinitely extended time, the cycle of heaven and earth is taken as a single round, which is called "yuan", and "yuan" is used as the largest unit of calculation of time. It is divided into units such as "meeting", "luck", "world", "year", "month", "day", "hour", "minute", "second" and so on.

1 day = 12 hours (Chen), January = 30 days, 1 year = 12 months, 1 life = 30 years, 1 Yun = 12 years, 1 Hui = 30 Yun = 10800 years, 1 Yuan = 12 Hui = 129600 years.

Then, there is such a saying in Buddhism that the Ganges sand tribulation is coming.

A catastrophe of 134400000 years, using a grain of sand as a metaphor for a catastrophe of time, the Ganges sand catastrophe is as long as all the sand in the entire Ganges.

Yuan Hui and Tribulation.

After the dragon god woke up like this, the three views of Yakumo Temple began to shatter.

Because in the midst of the famine, 'time' can be said to be a worthless thing.

Practicing a magic weapon casually, and cultivating it casually are thousands of years of time.

However, why is the flood I experienced so short......

It's also like what the dragon god said: 'Those saints in the flood wilderness are too weak. ’

But fortunately, the dragon god finally explained the desolation of this world to Yakumo Temple......

It turns out that the desolation of this world is actually a script world created by the dragon god.

The real flood is not counting years...... Ryujin and Yakumo Purple did not perceive the existence of the so-called 'time' at that time.

At that time, the flood was really a blink of an eye.

It's just that the flood famine experienced by Yakumo Temple is just a script written by the dragon god.

Including the nine sisters of the Gu family!

Including their tragic deaths, including the so-called Chaos Orbs on their bodies, they are all scripts written by the dragon god.

To tell the truth, when he heard the dragon god say that the death of the nine sisters of the Gu family was calculated by the dragon god, Yayun Temple directly tore up with the dragon god.

But it turned out to be ...... Yakumoji Temple was killed in an instant.

In just an instant, Yakumo Temple was beaten to the ground by the dragon god.

In front of the dragon god, Yakumo Temple is not even as good as an ant at all.

And after beating Yakumo Temple to the ground, the dragon god talked to Yakumo Temple about the so-called.

'Strength Level' setting.

Pan-World ...... Power setting.

However, this setting once again crushed the three views of Yakumoji Temple.

It turns out that those big monsters, those saints, and those Buddhas who dominate the world are not even as good as ants in front of the dragon god.

Unless one of them is friendly with the dragon god, the dragon god will not look at them at all.

As long as they don't have the power to break through the so-called 'world barrier' and go to the pan-world, they won't be able to make waves in the eyes of the dragon god at all.

Unless they can go to the pan-world.

In the pan-world, people who have just broken through the world barrier and reached the pan-world are called 'children', and this "child" is a term of endearment and a grade.

After 'child', there is 'non-animal'.

After 'non-animal', there is 'halberd'.

There are two kinds of names for the rank after 'Halberd'.

'Accomplices' and 'rebels'

Although there are two titles, they both represent the same title.

Next, there are 'sinners' and 'leaders'.

After that, there was no more.

Because the sinner and the leader are the final hierarchical boundary.

Maybe...... It cannot be said that there is nothing at all.

There is also a hierarchical title, which is 'the only true God'.

What the one true God represents is the will of the pan-world, the man who rules over the pan-world.

Although there is no world will in the pan-world at all, people have long thought of a good name for the pan-world world will.

………………………………………………

When Yakumo Temple returned to the White Jade Tower, when he just walked to the door of the White Jade Tower, the Yayun Temple heard a catchy sound of reading.

Zi said: There are friends from afar who greet death. ”

Well...... If Yakumoji is not mistaken, this is the Analects.

The Analects: A collection of quotation-style essays from the Spring and Autumn Period in China, mainly recording the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples. It is a concentrated reflection of Confucius's thoughts. It was compiled by the disciples of Confucius and the disciples of the second generation. The book has a total of 20 articles and 492 chapters, and it is the first to create a "quotation style".

The Eastern Han Dynasty was listed as one of the "Seven Classics", (Seven Classics: "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn", "Analects", "Filial Piety"). During the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi called it the "Four Books" together with Mencius, the University and the Mean.

The Analects is a collection of records of Confucius's words and deeds by the disciples of Confucius, an ancient Chinese thinker who ranks first among the world's top ten historical celebrities, and was written in the early Warring States period.

Because of Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, to the Western Han Dynasty, there were only oral teachings and books obtained from the walls of Confucius's residence, including: 20 pieces of "Lu Analects" taught by Lu orally, 22 pieces of "Qi Analects" taught by Qi orally, and 21 pieces of "Ancient Analects" found from the wall of Confucius's house. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor Zhang Yu refined the "Analects", and according to the "Lu Analects", with reference to the "Qi Analects", another treatise, called "Zhang Hou Analects".

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zheng Xuan used the "Zhang Hou Analects" as the basis, referring to the "Qi Analects" and "Ancient Analects", and wrote the "Annotations on the Analects", which is the current "Analects". 《

The Analects of Qi and the Ancient Analects soon perished. There are 20 chapters and 492 chapters of the Analects, of which about 444 chapters record the words of Confucius and his disciples and contemporaries, and 48 chapters record the words of Confucius and his disciples talking to each other.

When Bayun Temple walked in, it turned out that Gu Qiqiao was teaching Youyouzi Analects.

"What are you doing...... What for?"

Yakumoji asked.

Because it was not only Gu Qiqiao and Youyouzi who were present, but Selia and Soul Demon Dream were also listening the side.

"Temple, you're back. ”

"Koji~"

Seliya and Yuyuko hurriedly greeted Yayun Temple, and then Gu Qiqiao opened his mouth to explain.

"I'll teach them the 'genuine' Analects and Mencius! ”

Gu Qiqiao's so-called genuine Analects and Mencius...... In fact, it was some of the words of Confucius and Mencius that she remembered in her mind.

After all, they have lived since the Xia Dynasty to the present, and they have been living on the Shenzhou Continent, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, why didn't the people of Bayun Temple meet Confucius and them?

And the eight-strand text that Gu Qiqiao said, Bayun Temple is no stranger.

Stereotyped Writing (Eight-Legged Essay) is a style of writing for the imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The eight-strand essay refers to the eight parts of the article, and the style has a fixed format: it is composed of eight parts: breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the stock, middle stock, back stock, and bundle stock, and the title is all from the original text in the Four Books and Five Classics.

Each of the last four parts has two strands of dual text, for a total of eight strands. In the old imperial examinations, the eight strands of the text should be spoken in the tone of Confucius and Mencius, and the four pairs of sons should be evenly matched, and the saints could not be blasphemed with allusions to the wind and snow, and each article included four parts from the beginning of the stock to the bundle of shares.

The content of the Bagu article must be in the tone of the ancients, and it is absolutely not allowed to play freely, and the length of the sentence, the complexity and simplicity of the words, and the tone of the voice must also be relatively written, and the number of words is also limited.

Start by revealing the topic first, which is "breaking the problem". Then follow the above and elaborate on it, which is called "inheriting the topic".

Then the discussion began, called "talking". Then it is "entering the topic", which is the starting point after the lecture.

The following is divided into four paragraphs: "starting shares", "middle shares", "back shares" and "bundle shares", and in each paragraph, there are two strands of dual text, a total of eight strands, so it is called eight strands. The content of its discussion should be based on Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books" and other books in the Song Dynasty.

See "History of the Ming Dynasty and Election Zhi II", for example: Qing Ruan Yuan's "Four Books of Literary Words" and Liang Zhangju's "Words of the Righteousness Series". The first chapter of "The Outer History of Confucianism": "After this article, the Ministry of Rites agreed on the method of taking scholars: one subject in three years, using the eight strands of the "Five Classics" and "Four Books".

The form of the eight-strand text can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty's "Ti Kuo". The so-called "theology" is the general dictation of a certain kind of scripture. Although the Tang Dynasty used poetry and endowed scholars, it did not completely abolish the reading of "scriptures".

In the Song Dynasty, since Wang Anshi Bingzheng, with the "Jingyi" test, the student Ren Zhiyi, the examination to play the "Jingyi" as the text, which is different from the Tang Dynasty focused on memorizing the original text, the examination summary to write the answer to the "Tijing", but to play the understanding of the meaning of the scriptures to write the text, so it is called "Jingyi".

In the Yuan Dynasty examination, the "Jingyi" and "Jingjiao" were used as the inscriptions, and the scope of the questions was limited to the four books of "University", "The Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius". This is the earliest prototype of the eight-strand text.

Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty Hongwu for three years, the imperial examination law was enacted, and the examination text imitated the Song "Jingyi". During the Chenghua period, advocated by many ministers, a relatively strict and fixed eight-strand text format was gradually formed, and the rhythmic form of the eight-strand text was formed.

In the 21st century, the phenomenon of Baguwen still exists. For example, many English essays are written using a fixed template. Even in some exams, if the recommended format and template are not used, the grading teacher will give the essay a low score.

There are also student graduation theses, and many science and engineering graduation formats are fixed. For example, some schools require students to write a graduation thesis: "Chapter 1 Introduction, Chapter 2 Background Knowledge, Chapter 3 Theoretical Foundation, Chapter 4 Experimental Design, Chapter 5 Experimental Results, and Chapter 6 Conclusion". This is also the phenomenon of eight-strand text.

It is not surprising that Gu Qiqiao likes Baguwen Bayun Temple, because she is a so-called 'literary girl' and 'literary youth'.

Can...... It was strange that Seliya would be interested in the ancient books of the Eight Strands of Literature and the Analects, and Yakumoji would find it very strange.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Cloud Temple also said Baguwen to Selia, but Selia at that time said that it was a failure that made the country 'ruined'.

It's better to stuff it in the trash and burn it.

But now, she has begun to learn these things, which has aroused the curiosity of Yakumoji.

Immediately, Yakumoji asked.

"Aren't you guilty of writing about ancient things, Selia, why do you like it so much now?"

Celia replied with a slight temper.

"Who likes this!I have to learn, otherwise, how will the Gensokyo expansion plan be carried out?!"
