Outside the vast sky, the five elders were discussing a great conspiracy. If Su Heng was here, he would definitely be taken aback when he heard their words.

What the five elders were planning was the exact opposite of what he had guessed.

Just listening to what the second elder said, the fourth elder said in a deep voice: "I knew that the Flower Evil Monarch was so unsympathetic, we shouldn't have arrested all the Five Elements Dharma Protectors in the first place. ”

"We can't say that, suppressing the Five Elements Protector is not our original intention after all. The Sixth Elder frowned.

The Fifth Elder chimed in, "Yes, this is indeed the omission of our operation. Originally, it was only necessary to temporarily suppress the water protector alone, so that Liu Yang had time to harass the Xiyue jade body, who would have thought that the way of transmitting news between the five elements protector was so unique. ”

The Xuanshui Venerable Envoy was wrong in saying one thing, the reason why she was able to convey the crisis message to the other four envoys was not that the five elders deliberately released the water, but that they were too careless and couldn't prevent it. When it was discovered, it was irretrievable, and in desperation, he could only suppress all the envoys of the Five Elements.

This is why they have today's humiliation.

And all of this stems from their underestimation of the ability of the Five Elements Venerable Envoys. Similarly, the Xuanshui Venerable Envoy thought that this was deliberately designed by the other party, and he also overestimated the abilities of the five elders.

The second elder waved his hand, ending the argument among the elders, "Okay, don't say any more. In any case, at least the first step of the plan is to be successfully completed, and the humiliation of today will be retrieved later. As for whether the second step can be successful, it depends on Liu Yu. ”

......

Two days later, on the planet Taiyin.

In a quiet place, Su Heng and the Five Elements Venerable Envoy sat opposite each other, Su Heng was on one side, and the Five Elements Venerable Envoy was on the other.

"What are the five elements?" asked Su Heng.

The Five Elements Venerable Envoy exchanged glances, and the Platinum Venerable Envoy was the first to speak, but instead of answering Su Heng's question directly, he said, "Since the little master asked me and others, please listen carefully." ”

Su Heng nodded, "Please." ”

Platinum Venerable said: "In the past, the world was not opened, Hongmeng was not opened, and at the beginning of the universe, there was chaos. The world is all static, there is no direction, there is no time, and there is no real thing, so the chaotic state is 'infinite'. ”

"After endless years, the heavens and the earth are beginning to open, the universe is derived, and everything is different, divided, and real. Under creation, the world rotates and grows endlessly. Such a dynamic universe is 'Tai Chi'. ”

"In short, the infinite is the first birth of all things and the emptiness of the world, and the Taiji is the first birth of all things and the germination of the world. Wuji gives birth to Taiji, that is, from nothing to something, from stillness to movement. ”

Speaking of this, the platinum envoy suddenly stopped.

Su Heng listened attentively, although the envoy of the five elements did not answer the question, but he knew that the five people did this for their own reasons, so he did not interrupt, seeing that the platinum envoy paused, he couldn't help but look at it in doubt.

Immediately afterwards, it was Aoki Venerable who spoke, "Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji gives birth to Liangyi." The two rituals, yin and yang. Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. The four elephants, the sun, the yin, the yang, the yin, the gossip, the gan, kun, xun, zhen, kan, li, gen, dui. Such a change is the true meaning of the rotation of the universe and the evolution of all things. ”

"Maybe the little master will be confused, why is there no five elements. Aoki Venerable Envoy glanced at Su Heng, saw him nodding, and continued to explain: "Because what the five elements represent is a substantial substance, not the above-mentioned many illusory things that exist but are not visible, namely

Those illusory things symbolize the supreme truth of heaven and earth, and they are the supreme avenues that countless monks have been unable to discover in their lifetimes. ”

Su Heng was thoughtful.

"Fifth, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, for the sake of operation, is to operate continuously according to its own inherent rules. The five elements and five elements symbolize five different attributes, which not only represent the five basic substances in the universe, but also represent the interrelationship between substances with different attributes. The five elements are mutually beneficial, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, earth begets gold, gold begets water, and water begets wood; ”

"It is precisely because of the mutual reciprocity and restraint of the five elements that all things in the universe can maintain a state of perpetual motion and harmony and balance in their interdependence. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Five Elements are the 'Sect of All Things' and imply the movement of all things. ”

Su Heng frowned and asked, "As the predecessors said, Wuji, Taiji, Liangyi, Sixiang, and Bagua are all 'virtual', which is equivalent to a theory, and the five elements are 'real', which is equivalent to reality. So, how did the combination of the virtual and the real, the theory and the practice, come into being?"

"The little master is talented and intelligent, and he can understand it at one point, and this question is exactly the right question. Xuanshui Venerable said: "The five elements are actually made of yin and yang. ”

"Yin and yang?"

"Exactly. Xuanshui Venerable made the mantis lightly tapped, "No, the beginning of heaven and earth, yes, the mother of all things." None, that is, Wuji, and yes, that is, Taiji. Under Tai Chi, the two instruments are separated, and then the four elephant gossip and the five elements of reality are closely related to yin and yang, and it can even be said that they are derived from yin and yang. ”

"How does yin and yang biochemical the five elements? As mentioned earlier, the eight trigrams are divided into dry (dry) kun xun zhenkan li gendui, and these eight are called sutra hexagrams, which respectively represent heaven and earth, wind, thunder, water, volcanoes. It is like eight infinite and invisible big pockets, which contain everything in the universe, and the eight trigrams match each other, and they become sixty-four trigrams, which are called compound trigrams. Of course, what I want to talk about is mainly these eight hexagrams. ”

Presumably, the little master also noticed that the gap in the gossip corresponds to water and fire. The water and fire here are actually the same thing as the water and fire of the five elements. The other sutra hexagram attributes also correspond to the remaining gold, wood and soil of the five elements. The Xuanshui Venerable Envoy smiled faintly, "Is this just a coincidence? Of course not. ”

As she spoke, she looked at the Red Fire Venerable Envoy, who said, "Bagua is born from yin and yang. Yin, whose nature is dark and cold, is embodied in the physical object, corresponds to the attributes of water, and Yang, whose nature is bright and hot, is embodied in the physical object, which corresponds to the attribute of fire. ”

"Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. It can be known that the gossip is generated by yin and yang as the original material......" The Red Fire Venerable deliberately paused to give Su Heng enough time to understand and digest, "That is to say, the things corresponding to the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the gossip are all based on the two attributes of water and fire, and then the product of interaction. ”

"Once you know all the biochemical sources, you can summarize one thing. Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Water and Fire in the Bagua all belong to the same attributes! From this, it can be seen that the origin of the five elements is Yin and Yang! Yin and Yang are not only the mother of the biochemical Bagua, but also the mother of the five biochemical elements. ”

"Yin and Yang...... Extreme misery...... Cliff ...... Attribute...... Fiction and reality correspond to ......" This time Su Heng thought for a long time, constantly reviewing the words of several envoys in his mind, muttering to himself, pondering a few words repeatedly.

After a long time, he exhaled deeply, and his delicate face showed a bit of understanding.

Seeing this, the Five Elements Venerable Envoy couldn't help nodding secretly, and the Xuanshui Venerable Envoy asked, "

The little master has figured out the truth?"

Su Heng nodded, "I don't dare to say that I understand everything, but I am also suddenly enlightened." ”

After a pause, he sighed: "On the Flood Desolate Continent, there is another saying that earth, fire, water, and wind are the basic substances that make up the world. Although the statements are different, they both recognize the status of water and fire, and I thought it was a coincidence, but now that I think about it, there is a reason for such a situation. ”

"The universe is a miracle that cannot be replicated, and the exploration of the origin of the world has run through the entire history, and it is normal to have different opinions. It's just that the theory of the five elements is still more common. ”

"However, although the people of the world know that 'Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip', it is limited to this. For the mystery and derivation, most of them are half-understood. Su Heng was a little ashamed, "Even I myself haven't delved into these truths. ”

When the envoys of the Five Elements heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, I don't know what the truth of these 'four elephants' is?Is there any relationship with the 'four elephants' of the four legendary five divine beasts?" Su Heng suddenly asked, looking at the only loess envoy who had never spoken.

"Two rituals give birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip. The different attributes of Bagua are actually generated by adding a yin or a yang to each image. The loess envoy said angrily: "The yin and yang changes in the universe have four calibration points. These four calibration points belong to the southeast, northwest, and northwest. Shaoyang belongs to the east and the attribute is wood, the sun belongs to the south and the attribute is fire, the shaoyin belongs to the west and the attribute is gold, and the taiyin belongs to the north and the attribute is water. Compared with the five elements, the four images of heaven and earth are just missing a piece of soil. ”

"Among the five divine beasts, except for the central qilin, the remaining four beasts are known as the four elephants or the four spirits. They are all creatures that are born and raised. Some great supernatural beings once speculated that the four spirits of the sky were the natural creatures derived from the changes of the four phenomena of the universe acting on the desolate continent. ”

"What?" Su Heng was very surprised when he heard this statement for the first time.

The Loess Venerable Envoy shook his head, "This is just a conjecture, some people have questioned it, the divine beast Xuanwu of the North Sea has the dual attributes of water and land, which is not in line with the inference." Moreover, if the four great divine beasts came here in this way, then why did the divine beast qilin come into being? Therefore, the specific facts are still unknown. ”

Su Heng bowed slightly, and then hugged his fist at the Five Elements Venerable Envoy and said: "Thank you seniors for your teachings. ”

Su Heng's mind was in good spirits, and he had a hearty feeling. Communicating with the Five Elements Venerable Envoy will not only be of great help to the upcoming Five Elements Tribulation, but also greatly beneficial to future cultivation.

"The little host doesn't have to be polite, these are our responsibilities. The Five Elements Venerable Envoy was busy.

The platinum envoy said solemnly: "Little master, the reason why we are talking about this is from the most macroscopic and fundamental perspective. When you can fully comprehend the origin of the world and its various evolutions, then I think, Hugh said that the five elements of the tribulation in front of you, even the many great realms in the future, will not hinder you. ”

"As for the more detailed things in the five elements, you still need to experience it yourself. Find out what kind of plant it is root, do you still not know what kind of leaves it blooms?" the platinum envoy smiled slightly, "The five elements attribute is the most common attribute, although it is not as rare and mysterious as the little master's magnetic attribute, but if it is to the extreme, it will never be weaker than the power of other attributes. ”

"Look at the little master, be careful!"
