Volume 1: A Boy Comes from the Mountains Chapter 31: Hongmeng (II)
Morrowind lingered for a long time at the second stone tablet, thinking a lot, and after making no other discoveries, he took a decisive step on, for it was getting dark, and he needed to find a place to spend the night.
"No matter what its name is, no peeping at its feelings, things are solid and self-generated. Morrowind hurried along the way, talking to himself over and over again, trying to find clues in these strange words.
It's a pity that it backfired, and Chenfeng even tried to figure it out with Tibetan poems and flashbacks commonly used by Jianghu people, but he still had no clue.
In this way, the morning breeze, which had been preoccupied along the way, walked to the third stone tablet when it was about to get dark. As night fell, the heat dissipated, and there was no time to find a place to stay tonight, so Morrowind hurriedly observed the stone monument in front of him.
As before, Morrowind found nothing except for an even stranger text on the front.
"On the eve of a certain return, Canghuang replied, 'Chaos is beginning to open, and the universe is beginning. The light and clear air is the sky, and the heavy turbidity of the air is the earth. The sun is the sect of the sun, and the moon is the image of the yin. All things are born, all things are like, Chengshan is to open chaos, Qingyao is to preach, Fusang is to teach karma, and Hongmeng is immortal. ’”
Just as Morrowind could barely remember the contents of the third tablet and did not have time to study it word for word, the last light in the sky disappeared, and the sky was completely dark. At the same time, in Chenfeng's stunned expression, the inscription on the stele disappeared at the same time.
Morrowind touched the smooth surface of the stone wall, if it wasn't for seeing it with his own eyes, no matter who said at this moment, Morrowind would not believe that there were words on this stone wall a moment ago, or it was engraved on it.
"You are the elephant of the Taiyin, and the Sect of the Yang has just left. Looking at the rising moon in the Tianshan Mountains, Chenfeng sat down against the stone wall and made a joke with himself, just to keep himself from being too afraid, after all, this was his first time sleeping in the wilderness, although he knew that Lian Chengyu would not really ignore it like this, but in this situation, Chenfeng still felt a little worried in his heart.
Soon, when Chenfeng remembered the question of why he was here, the distracting thoughts in his heart took the initiative to retreat, and he couldn't help but think of the three stone tablets he had encountered along the way.
"Obviously, this seems to be a conversation between two people, although most of the words are incomprehensible, but since Uncle Lian asked me to come here alone, it must be of great help to practice qi. So, the problem is actually in the text of the three stone tablets. Morrowind quickly figured out the key points, so he quietly leaned against the stele and began to analyze the words on the stele word by word.
I don't know how long it took, and there was a soft grunt from the quiet earth. Morrowind fell asleep peacefully against the stele. The expression on his face was serene, just like the dirt mountain in this dark night.
Leaning on the morning breeze of the stele I had a dream, a strange dream, a very real dream.
In my dream, I floated in an unknown space, surrounded by a strong wind, bright lights, and boundless darkness in the distance. That's right, it's a special space where darkness and light coexist, or that the light illuminates the darkness and the darkness can't squeeze into the light.
A fire tree is colorful and rooted in the blue stones. Several strange beams of white and purple light swam between the branches. A man in a white shirt stood under a tree, handsome.
It's a weird picture.
"Heaven and earth are not in harmony, the earth is stagnant, the six qi are not in harmony, and the four seasons are not in season. Now I would like to combine the essence of the six qi to nurture the masses, what can I do about it?" In the dream, when the morning breeze was enjoying this picture, the man under the tree suddenly spoke, and the morning breeze was stunned for a moment.
"Thou hast done nothing in vain, but things have become self-transformed. Lun and things forget, much the same as a water..."Sure enough, the next voice came from the same voice. It's just that the voice is so strange, even in a dream, the morning breeze feels that it is difficult to distinguish between men and women, difficult to find, and erratic, this second it is still audible, and the next second it seems that it can't remember anything.
......
"Morning breeze, morning breeze" Morning breeze opened his eyes slowly, and his headache was splitting. He was immersed in the dream, and the more he got to the end, the more he felt that the man's voice was getting quieter and quieter, and when he tried to get closer to the big tree and wanted to hear more truthfully, suddenly there was a tearing pain in his mind, but fortunately, someone seemed to wake him up in the dark.
"Heaven and earth open, Fusang shakes, bluestone Yao, Hongmeng comes, and all things are born." The morning breeze that woke up whispered the last thing he heard before leaving the dream, I don't know if it was the man's words or the pale yellow's words.
The dream restores what you have seen and heard along the way, and what is even more commendable is that there are many conversations in the dream that have not been recorded on the stone tablet, which is of great help to Morrowind to understand what happened here.
"You are the bluestone" Chenfeng touched the stone wall behind him and thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Heaven and earth have opened, all things are glorious, where is Fusang?
The morning breeze is like an old monk in his meditation, sitting in front of the stele, countless thoughts flashed in his mind: what Lian Chengyu said, what he saw from the book, what he discussed with Chen Qingqing, what he saw on the stele, what he saw in his dreams, carefully experienced, comprehended, and unconsciously entered the realm of forgetting things and me.
For a long time, when the morning breeze opened his eyes, he had a smile on his face. It was the eve of dawn, so Morrowind got up and habitually played the Sky Splitting Fist. The punch is like the wind, and the body moves with the heart. The whole body is indescribably comfortable, and the morning breeze only feels that the whole body has inexhaustible strength.
After a complete Heaven Splitting Fist, Chenfeng ran the Turtle Breath Breath Technique again, his hands were clenched, and his breath traveled inside and outside the body, Chenfeng had no distractions, and at this moment he only felt that the whole body seemed to be transparent, even if he closed his eyes, he could feel countless airflows like wind and rain, stopping and shuttling in the five internal organs, the eight veins of the strange meridians, and many acupoints.
When I opened my eyes again, the sky in the east was slightly bright.
Taking a deep breath, Morrowind was surprised to find that the naked eye could see white and purple beams of light coming from the distant eastern horizon, surging in all directions, these beams and points of light were so similar to those wound around the fire tree in the dream.
Half a pillar of incense has less time, and when the morning sun jumps out of the horizon, the heaven and earth are instantly bright. Those surging white-purple points of light fell under the eyes of the morning wind at this moment, and the originally dark pupils were mixed with a little purple at this moment, which looked mysterious and abnormal.
At the end of the morning exercise, Chenfeng took out the dry food and took a few bites, which was considered to have been breakfast. When eating dry food, I suddenly thought of Lian Chengyu, Chen Qingqing and the little black dog, I don't know if they are hungry today without themselves. Soon, however, when Morrowind saw the winding blue path beneath his feet, he threw these thoughts out of his mind and continued to climb the dirt mountain.
This time I walked for a long time, and the scenery along the way was still the same, and there was nothing else as far as the eye could see. Finally, after a pause, the morning breeze finally saw the fourth stele at noon.
The content on the fourth stone tablet confirmed Chenfeng's conjecture in some ways, but Chenfeng didn't know much about real qi training and cultivation, and many of the contents were still ignorant to him.
"The avenue is three thousand, and Hongmeng is the beginning. The avenue is all changing, and Hongmeng is as good as ever. Hongmeng gives birth to the Tao, the Tao gives birth to one, one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things, all things are negative yin and embrace yang, and they are impulsive and harmonious. Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. Heaven and earth are unkind, and heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. ”
"In a certain life, I spent my whole life chasing Hongmeng, participating in creation, understanding reincarnation, and seeking strength. However, the Tao is ruthless, the sky is impermanent, and life is like a mustard, so it follows. Repentance, too late. In order that he will be born to the Tao, to die, to the beginning, and to be born as the beginning. ”
The two texts are located on the front and back of the stele. Shine in the sun. In Morrowind's opinion, this should be the last words of this senior? But how can it not look like practicing qi and mind methods at all, is it just a last word?
Chenfeng always remembered the purpose of his coming here, according to Lian Chengyu, that is, to find an opportunity or opportunity to practice qi, and from then on, he could start to practice real qi.
In Chenfeng's cognition, whether it is an opportunity or an opportunity, it should refer to a supreme exercise experience, so when he passed by the first few stone tablets, he would remember the inscriptions of the stone tablets word by word in his mind.
But what disappointed Morrowind was that along the way, I read a lot of strange words, and even had a dream related to it, but now I still can't enter the door for Qi training, do you want to go back empty-handed this time?
"All things in heaven and earth, Taoism and nature, are all from Hongmeng, and most of the messages of a certain predecessor are saying that Hongmeng is the beginning of creation and has infinite power. Then the practice of qi starts with Hongmeng, but what is Hongmeng? Is it those points of light that I saw in the morning?"
Shaking his head and leaving the chaotic thoughts in his mind behind, Morrowind continued on his way, his mouth full of divine words, and he kept talking to himself.
I thought it was a simple practice and just a random exercise, but Chenfeng never thought that Lian Chengyu would bring him here, and he would see so many strange things here, and until now he was still confused, Hongmeng? What is that, can you practice qi? Why has it never been heard of before?
Walking on the cyan path, Chenfeng was very hesitant in his heart. I came here to practice qi, and although I have seen a lot so far, it is useless to myself, how can it be good to go on like this, and if I delay my real cultivation, it will be worth the loss.
However, as the so-called mountains and rivers are doubtful, there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. It was when the morning breeze felt physically and mentally exhausted and unable to continue. After turning a corner, Morrowind finally saw the top of the mountain, and the temple on which it towered.
The morning breeze stopped, stunned. It is not that the hall that suddenly appears is too abrupt, but the hall in the field of vision is resplendent and treasured, and there is no trace of time, which is in sharp contrast with other places and buildings in Yunshan.
This hall appeared on the top of the barren earth mountain, no matter how you look at it, thinking of a few stone tablets along the way, Chenfeng faintly had some guesses in his heart, thinking of this, Chenfeng quickened his pace, and without any hesitation, he walked quickly towards the main hall on the top of the mountain.
