Chapter 31: The Theory of Duality
Xiao Daotong put his hands behind his back, posed as a gentleman, paced beside Yun Yi, and said, "Grandson, let me tell you about the knowledge of yin and yang." ”
Yun also quickly stopped when he heard this, but the Taoist boy motioned him to continue, while digging the pool to listen to the class, the boy recited an ancient saying: "At the beginning of the great creation of Hongmeng, there is a combination of yin and yang, its quantity is constant, its number is constant, this duality condenses into all things, there is yin in yang, and yin contains yang, which is called duality." Looking at the world as a whole, it is not the yang yuan into an image, the yin yuan into a network, and it is inseparable and cut off. Such structures do not disappear here nor for long, and the heavens and the earth will last forever, or they may be hundreds of millions of years old. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Daotong.
Yun Yisui thought for a while and said: "For hundreds of millions of years, the yin and yang elements of heaven and earth have been the same, they have not been separated, and they have always remained constant, right?"
"Yes, due to the constant yin and yang, nothing bad has happened, and in ancient times, there would be no monsters, and the world was peaceful. Xiao Tong said, "But later, when someone started cultivating immortals, the situation changed." ”
"How do people know about cultivating immortals?"
Dao Tong explained: "People have wisdom, especially good at looking down on conclusions, knowing all things and knowing their reason, and accepting them, which is called Tao. Therefore, man is terrible, he can observe all things in heaven and earth, find out the laws that are beneficial to himself, and slowly find out the way to live forever, and finally find that by extracting yang yuan, he can become stronger and stronger, and prolong his life, of course, he is eager to do it. But in the end, it will be a dangerous path. First, after all, the mortal body is unbearable, unable to bear too much yang yuan, and finally there is a 'delusional self' and becomes a demon. Second, a large amount of yang yuan is absorbed, resulting in an imbalance between yin and yang in heaven and earth, and after yin qi nourishes the grass and trees and beasts, they become monsters, and harmful demons are rampant. ”
"So that's the case, doesn't that mean that the more advanced the immortal cultivators, the more monsters there are in the world?"
"Yes, you are really smart, your ancestor has entered the Qiankun period, and he can be regarded as fully understanding this truth, seeing that Jiding Peak is surrounded by yin qi, there are more and more monsters, and even many high-level spirits have been produced, so I regret it, it turned out that I wanted to soar, but I left endless disasters to this Great Yan Continent. Xiao Tong sighed and said, "So your ancestor resolutely decided not to ascend again, summoned the heads of various factions in the south at that time, and informed them of this matter, hoping that everyone would think of the common people, dismiss the disciples, disperse their skills, and no longer cultivate immortals in the future." ”
"The factions are just afraid that they are unwilling. ”
"Of course they don't want to, who is not a cultivator who has worked hard for decades or even hundreds of years to accumulate, how can they give up because of your ancestor's words, most people are still selfish, even if they think that Forget Xuanzi is right, they still want to ascend to the heavenly realm regardless of the consequences and live forever. ”
"Your ancestor has no choice but to imprison the heads of the various factions, dissolve their skills, and repair the imbalance of yin and yang in the world, who knows that the monsters have attacked Jiding Peak, forgetting Xuanzi's strength to fight several demons, seriously injured, and fleeing with me, and finally turning his skills into a barrier, keeping the peace of the Central Plains for sixty years. It's a pity that what he did, of course, all factions can't understand, they all regard my Taihuaguan as an enemy, and hunt down and kill the disciples who escaped from my sect everywhere, and today, there are only the two of you left. ”
"It turns out that this is the case, the ancestor thinks about the world, but he was misunderstood, not only does he not hold grudges, but also incarnates as a barrier, and he is really broad-minded. Yun also praised.
"You also understand the original situation, from today on, I will inherit the will of my ancestor, and now the south will surrender the monsters, build this Luo Fantasy Realm, and when the Huanyang Tower is built, we will deal with all the factions in the world, put them all in the tower, disperse the power, and be a mortal, then the yin and yang of heaven and earth will be rebalanced. Dao Tong explained.
"Don't all the cultivators hate me?"
"Hate is hate, didn't the ancestor say in his last words that he was spurned by thousands of people and trampled on by thousands of people, but you go to reason with them, will they listen, so you can only be enemies of all factions in the world in order to protect hundreds of millions of living beings in Dayanzhou. Just imagine, if there is another cultivator who wants to soar in the Central Plains now, what will the result be, the Central Plains will become a demon domain like the Southern Wilderness, then the same is true for the north, when the people don't even have a place to stand on the cone, if Yang Yuan is taken to the heavenly realm by anyone, this place will never be peaceful. ”
"I understand, for the sake of peace in the world, no matter how much suffering and grievances I suffer, it is not too much. Yun Yisui clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.
"Yes, for the sake of the world, from now on, you can't be soft-hearted, you must be ruthless. Monsters are your slaves, and immortal cultivators are your enemies. The boy prompted.
