Chapter Forty-Nine: Shennong Gets the Yellow Emperor Out
Shennong reigned for one hundred and seventy years, and went away, when the emperor Fuxi came on a dragon to welcome Shennong and returned to the Huoyun Cave together.
Before Shennong attained Taoism, he also learned from Fuxi and found a successor.
There is a bear tribe with great power, but it is the reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi! The Eastern Emperor has to open the Heavenly Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell, how can it be that it has fallen like this? However, the reincarnation of the Eastern Emperor is passive, and there is no memory at all, not to mention, in general, it can also be considered that the reincarnated Eastern Emperor is already a brand new person!
The Eastern Emperor was reincarnated Xuanyuan. Legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor was born, he appeared to be an unusual deity. Not long after birth, he was able to speak. By the age of 15, he knew everything. Emperor In 2697 BC, the 20-year-old Yellow Emperor inherited the throne of the Youxiong tribe. Because he invented the Xuan crown, it is called Xuanyuan. And because he called the king with Tude, and the color of the soil was yellow, he was called the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor ascended the throne, benevolence Chengtian, a cultivation of virtue, but benevolence is the line, peace in the universe, did not see the phoenix, only think about its image, longing for the morning, is to call the old man and ask, said: "What is the phoenix elephant?" Tian Lao said: "Fu Feng Xiang, Hong Qianlin, snake neck and fish tail, dragon text and turtle body, swallow jaw and chicken peck; Dai De bears benevolence, embraces righteousness; small sound gold, big sound drum; stretches the neck and fights the wings, colorful preparation; moves the eight winds, the air should be the time and rain; the food is qualitative, the drink has the instrument; the beginning of the text, the coming is Jiacheng; but the phoenix can pass through the heavens, should be the spirit of the earth, the law is five sounds, and read the nine virtues. There is a way in the world, if you get one of the phoenix elephants, then the phoenix will pass it, and the phoenix will be the second, then the phoenix will soar, and the phoenix will be the third, then the phoenix will be gathered, and the phoenix will be the fourth, and the phoenix will be under the spring and autumn, and the phoenix will be the fifth, and the phoenix will not live in it. ”
The Yellow Emperor said: "Yu Xi! ”
So the Yellow Emperor is dressed in yellow clothes, wearing a yellow crown, fasting in the palace, the phoenix is covering the sun, the Yellow Emperor descends to the east step, and the west worships the head again, saying: "The emperor descends to the heavens, and does not dare not accept the fate." "Feng Nai stops the emperor's eastern kingdom, gathers the emperor's sycamore, eats the emperor's bamboo, and doesn't go away.
The poem says: "The phoenix is flying, plucking its feathers, and also gathering to stop." ”
One day, the Yellow Emperor was watching the scenery with the ministers on the Luoshui River, and suddenly saw a big bird holding Bian Tu and putting it in front of him, and the Yellow Emperor hurriedly bowed down.
Look at the bird, the shape is like a crane, the head of a chicken, the beak of a swallow, the neck of a turtle, the shape of a dragon, the wings, the tail of a fish, all five colors.
The words in the picture are the six words of prudence, benevolence and righteousness, and benevolence. The Yellow Emperor had never seen this bird, so he went to ask the elders. The elder told him that the male of this bird is called a phoenix, and the female is called a phoenix. The morning is called Dengchen, the day is Shangxiang, the evening is Guichang, and the night is Baochang.
As soon as the phoenix comes out, it shows that the world is peaceful. It is a sign of great auspiciousness. Later, the Yellow Emperor dreamed that two dragons came out of the Yellow River with a white picture and offered it to him.
The Yellow Emperor was puzzled and came to ask Tian Lao again. Tian Lao replied that this was a precursor to the coming out of the Hetu Luo book. So the Yellow Emperor and the elders swam between the rivers and Luo, sank in the river, killed three animals and fasted. It started with three days of fog. After that, it rained heavily for seven days and seven nights. Then there was a yellow dragon holding a picture from the river, and the Yellow Emperor knelt down to take it.
I saw the five-color Bi Gu on the picture, the white picture and the blue leaf Zhu Wen, which is the river Tuluo book. So the Yellow Emperor began to tour the world and enshrine Mount Tai. He heard that there was an immortal named Guangchengzi in Kongtong Mountain, so he went to ask him for advice.
Guang Chengzi said: "Since you ruled the world, the clouds do not gather and the rain falls, and the grass and trees do not wither. The sun and the moon are shining, and there is more and more scarcity. And if the heart of a man is enlightened, where is it for you to talk to you about the way?"
After the Yellow Emperor returned, he no longer bothered with political affairs. I built a hut with a mat in it, and I spent 3 months reflecting there. Then he went to Guang Chengzi and asked.
When Guangchengzi was lying with his head facing south, the Yellow Emperor walked up to him on his knees and asked him how he could achieve immortality. Guang Chengzi suddenly got up and said, "This is a very good question!" and then told him the essence of the Dao: "The essence of the Dao, stealing the darkness, the extreme of the Dao, faint and silent." Ignore and listen, hold your mind and be quiet. The form will be self-correct, and it will be quiet and clear; No labor makeup, no shake makeup, can live forever. The eyes see nothing, the ears hear nothing, and the heart knows nothing, so that the gods and forms are one, and then they can live forever. ”
After speaking, Guang Chengzi gave him a volume of "The Book of Nature".
The Yellow Emperor cultivated it, and it became more and more magical.
At this time, Xiao Xia Daochang, who was already old, took the copper of Shouyang Mountain and gave birth to a sword! The sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and the mountains, rivers and plants on the other. On the hilt of the sword, the art of farming and animal husbandry is written, and the policy of unification of the four seas is written on the other. The golden-colored thousand-year-old sword, Xiao Xia gave it to the Yellow Emperor, after all, Xiao Xia came from the next generation, and he was willing to help the Three Emperors.
Later generations don't know Xiao Xia, but Miao said that it was the gods of the heavenly realm who gave Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor this great sword, which is also funny.
