Tai Chi is an important concept and category in the history of Chinese Taoist culture, as far as the literature seen so far, it was first seen in the "Zhuangzi": "The Great Dao is above Tai Chi but not high; below the six poles and not deep; congenital but not long; Older than antiquity, but not old".

Later, it was seen in "Yi Chuan": "Yi has Tai Chi, which is to give birth to two instruments."

Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. After Zhuangzi, later generations gradually deduced the mature concept of Tai Chi according to the discussion of "Tai Chi" in the "Zhou Yi Zhi Ci", and really absorbed the essence of Zhuangzi's chaotic philosophy.

……

When the old woman talked about the history of Tai Chi, she quoted scriptures and classics, and suddenly seemed to be a different person and a different tone.

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out and picked up a piece of jade pendant, and said in surprise: "The material of this thing is so special!" ”

In fact, I also saw that it was not gold or stone, nor was it the jade that is commonly seen.

"Little brother, have you heard the story of Nuwa mending the sky?"

I was shocked, it was Nuwa mending the sky again, did she know something! I said in my heart.

Seeing that I nodded, the old woman continued:

"It is recorded in the history books that Nuwa used multicolored stones to mend the sky, and I think this is made up by later generations, because the clouds in the western sky have five colors, in fact...... In fact, she used a unique stone - I have checked many ancient books of the pre-Qin period, and the material described in the ancient books is very similar to this thing! ”

I was shocked again: Could it be that these three so-called jade pendants were actually made of Nuwa's stone to mend the sky?

It's really possible! The second piece in my hand was given to me by the general, and he was the one who manipulated the mending of the heavens, and he just said that he had smelted the remaining stones of the mending heavens into a sword.

It can't be so coincidental that there are just too many stones left over to forge a sword, right? There should still be a small amount left, and the remaining stones from the sword forging will most likely be made into small jewelry or something—that is, the three pieces in front of us.

The next old woman's narration shocked me even more.

She had checked ancient books and conducted field investigations, and that was fifty or sixty years ago.

That year, she suddenly became obsessed with archaeology, first became very curious about the mountain demons in the valley, and after some research, she found that it should be an ancient tomb, which was built more than 3,000 years ago.

Later, it was discovered that the so-called mountain demon was actually a big rock, and it was a meteorite, and this canyon was also caused by the meteorite fall.

Since it is a meteorite, is there only an isolated piece?

She continued to investigate with doubts, and the old woman did not tell many of the details in the middle, so it is conceivable that it should have been very difficult at that time! Finally, when the old woman was in her thirties, she found another valley on the other side of the Yellow River.

He concluded that the valley had also been smashed out by meteorites, and that it was likely that the same meteorite had split into two pieces in the atmosphere, and that the two valleys had been smashed out separately.

This is why grandma led people into the valley later, and there are now five villages in the valley.

The old woman also discovered a very peculiar phenomenon, that is, according to her field investigation over the years, she found that the entire Helan Mountain area where they are located is elliptical, and the Yellow River is like a curved long line, which happens to divide the oval into two symmetrical pieces, plus the position of the two valleys, which happens to present a huge Taiji diagram.

This discovery shocked the old woman, and it can't be explained by coincidence, right? Why did the meteorite fall on these two points? At that moment, she suddenly lost faith in the science she admired.

"You mean, there's a meteorite in that valley too?" I suppressed the shock in my heart and asked calmly.

"Yes, it's just that the meteorite fell into the mountain rock and shattered, but the meteorite in our valley has been preserved almost intact."

Oh, my God! I exclaimed in my heart.

The old woman actually helped me solve another mystery - that is, why the generals and Nuwa had to dig in that canyon to create people, and quarry stones in that canyon to make up the sky.

It turned out that they were not looking for ordinary soil or stones, but meteorites.

This must not be your average meteorite! I even began to suspect that the appearance of the so-called ancient gods, Jiangchen, Pangu, Fuxi, and Nuwa, was also related to meteorites.

I thought of another question: Why did Dayu build his tomb in a meteorite?

In short, in any case, only by walking into the tomb of Dayu, maybe you can find the answer.

"Little brother thinks that this Tai Chi is related to the opening of Dayu's tomb?"

As a last resort, I will briefly talk about the reaction of the three of us when we got close to the meteorite (that is, the mountain demon) jade pendant, and when we got close to the demon lake, we reacted briefly.

The old woman lowered her head and pondered for a while, and said slowly: "I can't think of the reason for this, I haven't thought about these things for decades......"

Saying that, she turned slowly and walked towards the door of her room. The chief steward and I were stunned, this old lady didn't finish speaking, why did she have to leave!

After taking a few steps, she turned around again, looked at me with that extremely strange look, and sighed: "It's better not to reveal all this, if you have to find out, little brother, you can only go to the meteorite to see it in person, there are still five days!" Otherwise you'll have to wait another year. ”

After saying that, she didn't look back, and slowly entered the dark room.

After I went back, I discussed it with Zhang Kailong and the others again, and had a brief exchange with my grandmother.

Grandma didn't support this in the first place, and she still doesn't support it.

Things have come to this point, it is not just as simple as satisfying curiosity, I don't know what has become of the estuary area now, Uncle Shi has been lying in a coffin and sunk into the Yellow River in order to temporarily suppress the Yellow River, if I don't bring back the Xuanyuan Sword, I don't find and persuade the female Lu, starting from the estuary, this world will be ruled by zombies?

thought of Li Yanli and Hao Xiaoyu again, and the two of them didn't know this anymore......

"If you have to go, I won't stop you, just take Aiya with you! Let her take the place of Grandma - maybe she can help you when it matters. ”

Time waits for no one. We were ready to leave the next day.

In addition to me, Chen Laosan, Zhang Kailong, Li Xiaobad, Yu Lina, the chief steward, and the two "fierce girls" selected by the chief steward, Xiaoqing Xiaobi also wanted to follow, but seeing that their stomachs were already bulging, it was really not suitable to participate in this kind of activity.

Departed after breakfast. We followed the traces of the movement of the demons in the jungle, and two hours later we saw the "karst" landscape.

This area is covered with strange-shaped stones for several miles, among which the mountain demon is in the middle, like a behemoth.

Although I knew that the mountain demon was already asleep at this time and would not cause us harm, my heart still hung when I approached it.
