Chapter Ninety-Four, Rites and Battles
The walls of the rites are made of books erected and piled up, but these books are made of special materials, which are not afraid of wind and rain and are not afraid of destruction. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Each book is huge, thousands of feet tall, about a thousand meters long, so many books are connected to each other, naturally forming a wall,
On the cover of each book, that is, on each piece of the wall, there are three knives, which are carved horizontally from top to bottom, and the whole looks like a giant three-handed.
This is the so-called three questions of etiquette, one asks the sky, the second asks the earth, and the third asks the people; the three knives also represent the heavens, the earth and the people; the heavenly sword is on top, the human knife is in the middle, and the earth knife is on the bottom.
Shao Yu stood in front of a wall, looking at the three swords of heaven, earth and man on the wall, and knew that only those who had passed the three questions of the rite were qualified to let the three swords open the book, so as to browse the great truth of the rite inside, and finally pass through the book and pass the test of the rite.
The reason why Shao Yu knows these is because Shao Yu killed a toad demon beast in the first level of the beast level, and got a page of paper, which has a brief introduction to the eight levels of Tieweng Ridge in the back.
Although Shao Yu knew the most basic information at this moment, he didn't know what to ask in Lizhisan, so he couldn't help but be a little nervous, after all, the more he went to the back, the more difficult it would be to clear the customs.
In the ritual pass, if you want to be tested, you only need to keep a distance of 50 meters from the wall formed by the books, so that the three knives of the rite will naturally sense, and then the contestants can be tested.
At this moment, the distance between Shao Yu and the wall of the rite was one hundred and fifty meters, so he walked towards the wall of the rite and kept a distance of about thirty meters from the wall.
The three knives of the rite sensed the existence of Shao Yu, so the heavenly sword was the first to strike, exuding a mysterious luster, and then flew out of the wall, evolving into a giant knife covering the sky in the air, lying on the top of Shao Yu's head, exuding a shocking aura, that kind of coercion was like a thunderbolt from the sky, as if the blessing of heavenly power.
At the same time, a majestic voice without the slightest emotion sounded in Shao Yu's mind, and asked Shao Yu: "Heavenly Question, what is Heavenly Gift?"
Hearing this question, even if Shao Yu had a hundred thousand volumes in his chest, he was also suppressed, what is the heavenly gift, it seems simple, but in fact it is a very mysterious question, and he found that he could not give an accurate definition and answer at all.
At this moment, the heavenly sword suspended above Shao Yu's head had a strong breath, as if Shao Yu couldn't answer, his head would fall to the ground.
Shao Yu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he quickly ran his mind, wanting to give an answer.
What is the rite of heaven, is it the etiquette of the heavens? However, the heavens are ruthless, and how can they understand the etiquette, this statement does not make sense.
What is the Heavenly Rite, is it the posture and majesty of the heavens? But why the Heavens should face the world with a majestic posture and look down on all living beings does not conform to the principle of etiquette, and it does not make sense.
What is the Heavenly Rite, is it the majestic power of the Heavens? But although the power of the Heavens is vast, what does it have to do with the Rites?
.........
These questions kept flickering in Shao Yu's mind, but they were all rejected by him, because the answers were wrong, they couldn't make sense, they couldn't explain thoroughly, and they couldn't really define what a heavenly gift was.
In the end, Shao Yu had a flash of inspiration and thought of two words, these two words were: "Great Avenue". The so-called avenue also refers to the way of order, everything in the world operates according to the will of God, but God cannot arrange the operation of things in the world at will, it must abide by certain orders and rules, otherwise the world will be paralyzed.
This is like a leader of a country, who can direct the operation of the country according to his own wishes, but he is not unlimited, and must abide by the order and rules of the law, otherwise the country may be paralyzed or even destroyed.
For the heavens, if it is compared to the leaders of the country, then the avenue is the law, and the so-called heavenly rites mean that the heavens should be courteous to the avenue and act according to the avenue, which is the so-called heavenly rites.
So Shao Yu looked at the huge heavenly knife above his head, his eyes were blazing, and he said loudly: "Heavenly gift, it is the journey of the Great Road."
Shao Yu's voice was neither loud nor small, and the Heavenly Sword suspended above its head trembled violently when it heard this, and finally shrank again, flew back to the wall, and merged into the wall.
Seeing this scene, Shao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he finally reacted, if he really couldn't answer, then he would suffer, although he didn't know if the answer was wrong, whether the heavenly knife really wanted to cut off his head, but he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, his life was only one, and it was too worthless to die here.
Shao Yu has not yet straightened out his qi, and the earth knife at the bottom has been dispatched, the earth knife is different from the heavenly sword, it does not have the domineering and majesty of the heavenly way, but it has a kind of heaviness and solidity.
The ground knife is not suspended above Shao Yu's head, but coiled on the ground, with the blade facing upward, passing between Shao Yu's legs, it seems that if Shao Yu returns to the wrong problem, it is the rhythm of dividing Shao Yu into two halves.
"The question of the earth, what is the earth's gift", a voice as thick as the earth sounded in Shao Yu's mind.
This is another difficult problem for Shao Yu, although he has explored the essence of the heavenly rites, but the heavenly rites and the earth rites are completely different, they are two different levels of concepts, so even if Shao Yu knows the definition of the heavenly rites, he can't intercept the earth rites.
So Shao Yu had to rethink, but just now Shao Yu was running his brain rapidly, and his thinking mode stayed on the mode of thinking about the definition of heavenly rites, and it was not easy to change his thinking immediately and think about earth rites.
As time passed, the breath coming from the ground knife between Shao Yu's legs became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that Shao Yu would be divided into two halves in the next moment.
Therefore, at this moment, Shaoyu was facing a huge crisis again, and his heart was suspended in his throat.
The earth carries the growth of all things, does the earth rite refer to its goodness? But why does the earth do this, does it only give and not take?
When the earth gives life to all things, does it mean its benevolence? But why does it give life to all things, why does it love all beings?
Is the earth's fertility resources and energy due to its abundance? But what does this have to do with rituals?
........
I have to say that under tremendous pressure, Shao Yu's potential has been greatly operated, and the small universe has exploded, and he has changed his thinking, and he no longer defines earth rites in the way of thinking about heavenly rites.
Shao Yu synthesized all the knowledge related to the earth in the 100,000 volumes in his chest, and abstracted the essential attributes of the earth from them, so as to define the earth rites.
In the end, Shaoyu thought of "yin and yang". The earth is yang on one side, representing dedication, benevolence, giving, and giving, and yin on the other, representing deprivation, coldness, burial, and impermanence. Therefore, the earth has two sides, and the survival of all things will be deprived of life.
So Shaoyu said: "The coordination of the two sides of yin and yang is also."
Hearing Shao Yu's words, the big knife that threatened Shao Yu's life retracted back on the book wall, which thought that Shao Yu had passed the question of the earth knife.
Next is the human knife of the three.
The human knife is different from the other two knives, after falling off the book wall, it evolved into a figure in front of Shao Yu, with a majestic figure and majestic momentum, but the water waves flow all over the body, and his face and gender cannot be seen at all.
The question of people, what is the courtesy, the question at this moment did not come to mind in Shao Yu's mind, but the great figure opposite Shao Yu said.
What is human etiquette, in Shaoyu's view, this is the simplest of the three questions, because in the 100,000 volumes in his chest, the most talked about is human feelings and sophistication, involving a subset of scriptures and history, including society, politics, economy, culture, ethics, religion and many other contents.
So Shaoyu blurted out and said: "Human etiquette refers to the life and death of people."
The answer is wrong, the majestic figure in front of Shao Yu said. Then he stretched out his huge palm, grabbed Shao Yu in his hand, and once again evolved into a knife and retracted it back into the wall.
And Shaoyu's figure was also sent into the book wall.
After entering the book wall, Shao Yu's eyes were dark, and then a voice sounded in the darkness, saying: "The three questions of the ceremony, three to two, you can enter the book of rites, but you have to take the road of life and death."
Then Shao Yu felt dizzy for a while, and when his eyes were bright again, in front of Shao Yu, there were two roads.
At the intersection of these two roads, there are two signs, one that says "Life Road" and the other that says "Dead Road".
Seeing this scene, Shaoyu stepped out and walked towards the intersection of Shenglu, but just when Shaoyu had already stepped out with one foot and was about to step on the Shenglu Road, he stopped moving, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and finally retracted the foot suspended on the Shenglu.
At this moment, Shao Yu's eyes hesitated, his eyes browsed on the road of life and death, and finally he locked the road of death with his gaze, and then resolutely stepped towards the road of death, he actually chose the road of death.
This seems to be a dead move, but it is to put it to death and then live, because the superficial way of life is the real way of death.
Therefore, Shao Yu Ping'an got the true definition of human etiquette on the road to death, which refers to "respecting heaven and earth, and loving all things". At the same time, Shaoyu also passed the ceremony.
Shao Yu, who passed the rite pass, looked at the wall of rites behind him, and secretly congratulated himself on his choice, fortunately he didn't choose the superficial way of life, otherwise he would have been eliminated.
Shao Yu, who had passed the ceremony, no longer wasted time, and continued to walk out, walking deeper into Tieling Weng.
Then appeared in the battle pass, and the setting of the battle pass was different from the previous one, it turned out to be a samurai with spears in their hands, waiting here, of course, these samurai are not real people, but also battle puppets.
When Shaoyu arrived at the battle pass, many of the other contestants also passed the test of the ritual pass and walked towards the battle pass.
They are Yu Chixue, as well as the boy with a golden sword in the Golden Sword Academy, the boy with a sword in the Sanqing Academy, the girl with a scepter in the Vitality Academy, and the girl with a black mark on the forehead of the Sunset Academy.
These people are the most outstanding of the contestants, so they were the first to pass the salute pass, came to the battle pass, passed a lot of tests, and the rest of the contestants were gradually left behind by them and opened up the distance.
