Chapter 66: Yin and Yang Metaphysics
Many people think that the first statement is correct, and some people think that the second statement is more reasonable, but in my opinion, these two statements together are comprehensive.
In addition, the twelve animals corresponding to the twelve earthly branches are also real, Zi is one yang, Chou is two yin, Yin is three yang, Mao is four yin, Chen is five yang, Si is six yin, noon is seven yang, Wei is eight yin, Shen is nine yang, unitary is ten yin, Shu is eleven yang, and Hai is twelve yin. The monkey of the Jade Whisk is ranked ninth among the twelve earthly branches, and the Jade Whisk has always called it Jiu'er, and Jiu is Yang, so we all call it the Nine Yang Monkey. Jin Zhen patiently rushed to Zuo Dengfeng to explain, the knowledge of Xuanmen in his mind was naturally not comparable to that of a fortune teller.
"You mean to say that these twelve animals are branches of the earth, and at the same time support it?" Zuo Dengfeng asked suspiciously.
"You misunderstood, the twelve earthly branches do not mean that these twelve animals support the earth in essence, but that these twelve animals are bred by the earth's qi, and can also affect the earth's qi in turn." Jin Zhen shook his head and smiled.
"Who came up with the theory of the twelve earthly branches?" Zuo Dengfeng understood Jin Zhen's words, and asked again.
"It may be Jiang Ziya, because those twelve animals were found by Jiang Ziya." Jin Zhen replied casually.
"What is his motive?" Zuo Dengfeng asked eagerly, because he didn't understand anything, the only thing he could do was ask. However, Jin Zhen's answer has something in common with the record of the stone tablet in the tomb of King Lai.
"Have you read "The Complete Biography of the Shang and Zhou Kingdoms"?" Jin Zhen did not answer Zuo Dengfeng's question head-on.
"I've read a few chapters, and I don't understand bullshit." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and replied, "The Complete Biography of the Shang and Zhou Kingdoms" also has a name called "Fengshen Bang", which is a mythological novel of the Ming Dynasty.
"What do you think of Di Xin?" The golden needle threw an approving glance at Zuo Dengfeng. The emperor he said was the king of Shang, but the king of Shang was the contemptuous name of the Zhou Dynasty for him, and his own emperor was not called King Shang, but Di Xin.
According to official historical records, Di Xin was an enlightened and good emperor, not cruel or lustful. During his reign of thirty years, he fought everywhere, but the purpose of his campaigns was to free the suffering slaves, so he would not kill the captives every time he won the battle, and how could a person who did not even kill the captives cut open the belly of a pregnant woman as described in the novel. In addition, the era in which he lived was a slave society, but he appointed many slaves as officials, touching the interests of the Zhou State and some other large slave owners, which led to wars. Some people also say that he is greedy for silver and lustful, which is naturally even more slanderous, if a monarch who has reigned for thirty years is lustful, how can he only leave two sons in his life? Zuo Dengfeng truthfully narrated the historical record. He was originally engaged in cultural work, and he naturally understood history.
"Good insight." After Zuo Dengfeng finished speaking, the golden needle stretched out his right fist again.
"Ashamed, ashamed." Zuo Dengfeng clenched his fist and collided with it.
"A "Journey to the West" has made my Taoist sect a stepping stone for Buddhism in the eyes of the world, and a "Complete Biography of the Shang and Zhou Kingdoms" has made the lord of benevolence and righteousness wronged through the ages, and the world does not know the historical truth, so it has to be anecdotes of wild history, extremely ignorant and incorrigible. Come, you and I are drinking confidants, bosom friends are hard to find, and today I will rest when I am drunk. The golden needle grabbed the jar. Zuo Dengfeng's insight made him feel that he had found a soulmate, and he was in a very good mood.
Zuo Dengfeng also admired Jin Zhen's knowledge and surname very much at this time, grabbed the wine jar and touched it, and then swallowed the cow, and the few guys and shopkeepers who were huddled in the corner were dumbfounded.
"Brother, I can't hide it, I saw everything you did today, when you killed the Yue army, the Yue army struggled for a moment before dying, but when you killed the puppet army, it was a one-hit kill, which shows that you hate the puppet army more than the Yue army, why is this happening?" The golden needle has been drunk at the moment, and the topic of Jiang Ziya has long been forgotten.
"I said that I am an outsider, so I just came to bully us. The puppet army is all Chinese, and these Han annihilated us with all our face. Zuo Dengfeng said angrily. What Jin Needle said is indeed the truth, he only used three percent of the aura to kill the devil, and the devil can still kick his legs after hitting the devil. But he used fifty percent of his aura to kill the puppet army, and he would die with one blow.
"You are still too young, how can you reverse the inferior surname of the countrymen, think that the famous general Yuan Chonghuan of that generation resisted foreign enemies, guarded the border passes, fought for many years, and in the end was eaten by the foolish people, do you say that he is angry or wrong? As a brother is a monk, these things have already been seen through, the old saying has clouds and water can overturn the boat and float the boat, what is water, the people are water, now the water is brainless, where it flows depends on where the canal is dug to, the fate of the country is not in the hands of the water, but in the hands of those who dig the ditch, so don't blame the water flow is not correct, you can only blame Lao Jiang for digging the ditch crookedly. Jin Zhen talked about his surname and began to express his opinions. Zuo Dengfeng didn't interrupt him, firstly, he felt that what he said was indeed reasonable, and secondly, Zuo Dengfeng didn't want to turn the conversation into a simple question and answer.
"In that case, why did Du Zhenren go to Nanjing to save people?" Zuo Dengfeng asked.
"When the national disaster is at hand, the people are suffering, those of us who have spells always can't bear to sit idly by, but no matter how powerful our spells are, they can't defeat our spears and cannons, and the heavy responsibility of resisting is to rely on the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to awaken the people and unify the resistance, our ability is very limited. Wang Zhenren and I are still in charge of the sect, we must be cautious, we can travel thousands of miles, fly the eaves and walk the wall, but our disciples have no way to save their lives, so I will stay in Maoshan as much as possible in the future, and I can no longer show my head. Golden Needle shook his head and sighed.
"If there is anything inconvenient for Du Zhenren to do, brother, I can do it for me, anyway, I am a lonely person and have no worries." Zuo Dengfeng admired the golden needle very much, and said from the bottom of his heart.
"How many years old am I for you, and where there is no one, you and I can be brothers." When Jin Zhen heard this, his face immediately turned happy. He is a monk, and he can't be called a brother to outsiders, so he adds the premise that there is no one.
"Thank you, big brother, for looking up to me as Hanako." Zuo Dengfeng happily agreed, turned around and drank wine at the shopkeeper, at this moment Thirteen made a cry under the table, Zuo Dengfeng heard that there was anger in its cry, and then remembered that it had not eaten yet, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to bring a few live fish.
"Brother, I'm ashamed to say that my brother has one thing I want to ask you to help me with now." Jin Needle grabbed the wine jar and poured a glass for Zuo Dengfeng, this time the two of them had already changed their drinking to a cup, they were all cultivators, so naturally they would not get drunk.
"Big brother, you say." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and spoke.
"That jade whisk may still be in Songshan at the moment, this woman is extremely hot, and the monkey is very important to her, if the Shaolin Temple does not hand over Mingjing, she is very likely to turn her face and hurt people. Although her spells are exquisite, Shaolin Temple is not easy to match, and when the time comes, if she really starts to do it, I am afraid it will be a situation where the fish will die and the net will be broken. Jin Zhen said.
After the golden needle finished speaking, Zuo Dengfeng did not have an interface, because the words of the golden needle obviously had the second half. And the words of the golden needle also stopped here, and he did not speak for a long time.
"Big brother asked me to look for Iron Shoes Mingjing?" Zuo Dengfeng made a guess.
"That crazy monk is home all over the world, and his body is fast, where to find him." The golden needle shook his head and spoke.
"Big brother wants me to go to Shaolin Temple to persuade me? I don't have enough portions, right? Zuo Dengfeng guessed again.
"Buddhism is not the same sect, this one can't be persuaded, if I invite Quanzhen to send Wang Zhenren to Shaolin Temple together, Shaolin Temple will think that we are a cadre of people to join forces to provoke, and it may lead to a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism." The golden needle shook his head again.
"What does the eldest brother want me to do, just say it, I will do my best." Zuo Dengfeng was confused by the look of the golden needle that wanted to speak and stopped, and he didn't understand what he wanted to ask him to help with.
"Although the surname of Yufu is some, but after all, we are in the Daomen, under the Sanqing seat, the same qi and branches, Wang Zhenren and I are hindered by our identities and cannot go to help her, so I want to ask my brother to go to Shaolin Temple to secretly help Yufu, my brother is a high Xuan, and few people know it, it is the most suitable." The golden needle's voice became lower and lower, and at the end he even blushed. People who don't blush when they drink are blushing at the moment, Zuo Dengfeng immediately understood what was going on, Golden Needle Du Qiuting may like Jade Whisk, but because of the identity of Maoshan Sect, it is inconvenient to help openly.
"I'll do my best, and I just want to go back and see it." Zuo Dengfeng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. There are three reasons why he agreed to come down, one is that he was very angry with the Shaolin Temple monk chasing him for a night. The second is that the golden needle is a good friend worth dating. The last point is to ask Ming Yufu how the monkey came from.
"Thank you, brother, Jade Whisk is older than you." Jin Zhen saw that Zuo Dengfeng agreed, and his face immediately showed joy. However, what he said was a bit of a snake, Zuo Dengfeng thought at first that Jin Zhen was afraid that he would seduce Yu Fu so much, but after thinking about it carefully, he almost couldn't help laughing, because it was rumored that Yu Fu was in his early twenties, and Jin Zhen was afraid that Zuo Dengfeng would say in his heart that his old cow ate tender grass, so he said the approximate age of Yu Fu.
Zuo Dengfeng showed a smile on his face, and Jin Zhen was even more embarrassed, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass to cover it up.
"Big brother, halfway through what I said just now, what is Jiang Ziya's motive for finding those twelve animals?" Zuo Dengfeng pulled the topic back.
"No one knows what the truth is, but since those twelve animals are born in accordance with the earth's qi, they naturally have the effect of changing the earth's qi, and the earth's qi can affect a country's fortune and qi, so I guess Jiang Ziya may have used them to strengthen the qi of the Zhou Dynasty or reduce the fortune of the Shang Dynasty, thus causing the Western Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Shang Dynasty." Jin Zhen frowned and spoke.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded secretly when he heard this, what Jin Needle said was right, the sentence on the stele of King Lai's mausoleum, 'Twelve spirits are defeated, and the Lord Jiang Ziya is forced to move the capital for six hundred miles' is very likely to be thirteen restrained by the qi of twelve animals.
"The six yin and yin are immortal, and the six yang and yang are immortal, what do you think of this sentence?" Zuo Dengfeng asked.
Literally, finding six yin animals can make a woman immortal, and finding six yang animals can make a man immortal. But I don't think it's a big name. Jin Zhen frowned and shook his head.
"Why did Big Brother say that?" Zuo Dengfeng's heart rose violently.
"Because the twelve earthly branches are only the twelve earthly branches, which belong to the Kun genus, if you want to obtain the legendary immortality, you must theoretically have a complete universe, and heaven and earth correspond. However, the twelve earthly branches only have kun, and there is no dryness. "The golden needle is the color of the opening.
"You mean that even if you find six Yin animals, you can't bring a woman back to life?" Zuo Dengfeng is in despair.
"Not necessarily, because women are originally Kun, corresponding to the earthly branch, and maybe there is a glimmer of hope." The golden needle picked up the teacup.
"Big brother, where do you think you can find them?" Zuo Dengfeng had nothing to hide from Jin Zhen, Jin Zhen was not a fool, so he naturally guessed what he wanted to do.
"Time is too long, they are not dead things, mountains, jungles, rivers, mountains, deserts, these places that secretly coincide with their five elements can all go to, in addition, it is not excluded that they may be caught and buried in the grave by future generations." Jin Zhen shook his head and said.
"Why bury them in the ground?" Zuo Dengfeng frowned again when he heard this, he might not be able to find it on the ground, how could he find it if he was buried in the grave again.
"Because they all have the ability to change the earth's qi, people in the Qin and Han dynasties have begun to pay attention to the feng shui of the tomb." The golden needle explained.
After the golden needle finished speaking, Zuo Dengfeng did not speak for a long time, the situation that the golden needle said is very likely to happen, thirteen is a living example, it seems that if you want to find all six kinds of Yin animals, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky. But in any case, you have to do your best for it, those animals are not ordinary animals, and they can't be so unlucky that they will be caught and buried in the grave.
"Brother, if there is a glimmer of hope, you have to work hard for it, as long as you have a conclusive clue, the eldest brother will accompany you." Jin Zhen raised his hand and patted Zuo Dengfeng's shoulder.
"Thank you, big brother, without further ado, I will rush to Songshan immediately." Zuo Dengfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and with the help of the golden needle, it would be relatively easy to find the six Yin animals in the future. There are contacts and contacts, and you must first help Jinzhen get things done, otherwise you will be embarrassed to speak.
"Okay, there's Brother Lao." The golden needle serves the tea and scatters the table
This month's goal is 120,000 words, the number of words is not counted, the goals I set will be completed, everyone don't rush, although my level is limited, but I'm working hard, in addition, my age is not small, I can't spell the number of words with young people, everyone understands more.
