Although Bo Yu walked barefoot, he was on the road every day and every day, and his speed was not slow at all, even exceeding ordinary carriages and horses. The pen and the fun and pavilion www.biquge.info carved the five teachings, the five punishments, and the nine virtues on the tree, which was the idea he came up with on the road.

In ancient times, the ecological environment was very good, even if it was a place where people gathered, there was no shortage of towering ancient trees that had grown for hundreds of thousands of years, and they were in the outline of the walled city. Bo Yu and the selection of hardwood species, peel off a piece of bark on the trunk, flatten this piece, and engrave on it. The tree is still alive, and in order to preserve the handwriting for a long time, they also burn the engraved characters until they are charred.

Gao Tao made nine classics and moved to the court for a whole car Jane, and Yu could not brand so much on the trunk. The reason why these books are selected is because they are exactly what people everywhere need to understand, and the essence is very concise.

For example, the most important "Five Teachings" is engraved with the ten words "father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother's friend, brother's respect, and son's filial piety", which is concise and concise. Why is it so concise, and even cherishes words like gold? With Gao Tao's talent, it is not difficult to raise ten thousand words, his student Ziqiu read the nine classics in the court, but explained to the ministers for three whole days, but the real difficulty is to simplify the complex.

It must be known that in ancient times, almost all the people in all departments were illiterate, and if the meaning of the text was profound, everyone could not understand it at all, and if there was no very concise summary, people could not remember it at all. So the core of the five religions is these ten words, and Bo Yu engraved them on the tree. It doesn't matter if you don't know the words, as long as Bo Yu introduces the handwriting, everyone can understand and remember.

Since the people do not know how to read and write, why bother to engrave it on a tree? The meaning and function of carving it are completely different, and carving it on a tree is equivalent to carving it in the hearts of the people, making it gradually become a folk style.

Not everyone heard Bo Yu's introduction at that time, and other people would ask what was carved on the tree when they passed by here?

On the other hand, if it is only passed on by word of mouth, after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of false transmission, and the lettering on the tree is """ and "Ming Zheng". As long as those who can memorize the five teachings, they are actually equivalent to knowing these ten words, and they will also correct the mistakes of other people's oral traditions. Moreover, there are always literate people in the tribe who can continue to explain to everyone in the future.

The "Five Teachings" is the indoctrination promoted by the Son of Heaven, and it is a norm that all the people in the country should follow, and it is not enough to pass on the classics to the nobles of the various ministries, and the same is true of the "Nine Virtues".

To summarize the essence of "Nine Virtues", there are only twenty-seven words, and what really needs to be memorized and understood is actually eighteen words, which can be engraved on the trunk. The nine virtues are the criteria for judging the conduct of people from all walks of life, such as the Son of Heaven should have all nine virtues, the Bojun should have six virtues, and the nobles should have three virtues...... What about the commoners? There are five religions for the common people!

Gao Tao as the nine virtues, is not only the Son of Heaven to evaluate the subject's moral standards, but also the subjects to evaluate the Son of Heaven's moral standards, then the whole world should be clear, so that it becomes a guide to daily words and deeds, in order to have real educational significance.

So what are the other contents of the Gaotao Canon? The trunk cannot be carved at all, Boyu only chooses the most essential tribes, and they can be understood and mastered by the people. On the other hand, even if it is carved all into the tree, it is useless, and for that reason, the vast majority of the people are illiterate.

The entire content of the Gaotao Nine Canons should be mastered by local officials and tribal leaders, and only they can fully grasp them, such as the five costumes, the five rites, the nine relatives and so on. These aristocratic classes also formed the earliest intellectuals, or the newest intellectuals of this era.

With the advent of writing, the composition of "intellectuals" also changed, or this particular social class appeared with writing. In ancient times, primitive intellectuals were elders or priests of the tribe, who had mastered the experience and knowledge passed down from generation to generation, which could be used to guide production and life.

After the advent of writing, it became the best carrier of knowledge and experience, and intellectuals became people who mastered words and classics, and they were often nobles.

In the time of Emperor Yao, there was an order that the leaders of the tribes should learn the written language, and the children of the clan should also master the written language. In the later period of Emperor Yao's reign, there was a convention that only literate people could become princes, because then they could understand the decrees issued by the Son of Heaven.

So how were the decrees promulgated before that? Directly send envoys to dictate! The efficiency is extremely low, and it is not only very inconvenient, but also prone to all kinds of mistakes. Ba Yuan, where the tiger baby once lived, has just gone through this stage.

Di Yao ordered the nobles of all ministries to learn the written language, which was undoubtedly a kind of social progress. Since the dawn of Chinese civilization, commoners have been able to learn the written language, but often only the aristocracy has the conditions to learn and master it. The study of writing is not a privilege of the aristocracy, which is what distinguishes Chinese civilization from other civilizations, but intellectuals often come from the aristocratic class, which is also determined by the stage of social development.

Bo Yu was just in a hurry this time, and when he went to a place to rest, he engraved the educational classics along the way, and introduced them to the people who gathered. There were also local officials and leaders of various departments who heard the news and came to greet and entertain them in person, but Bo Yu refused them one by one and did not waste time on the road. He led the people of all parts of the world to control the water, and he will come again in the future, and now he has to rush to the Xiangliu Department first.

After crossing the Huaishui River and entering the territory of the former Communist Work Department, there are old people from all over the country along the way. The so-called clan elders are not necessarily nobles, but elders in various villages. In this era, people have a high mortality rate, so the average life expectancy is very short, but the real longevity is often not young.

The elders of the tribes have lived long enough, experienced enough things, and have a wealth of experience and knowledge to be highly respected in the tribal villages, and according to the above-mentioned Yuguan text, they are also considered intellectuals of the "old times". The people who came were all clan elders from Emperor Yan's old tribe, and they originally planned to block the road and interrogate Bo Yu.

In this era, the range of activities of many ordinary village people in a lifetime often does not exceed dozens of miles around their hometowns. It can also be seen from this that it is very difficult for Chongbokun to organize the migration of such a clan, and now Boyu has to come again on both sides of the river.

These clan elders are respected in the village, they have the experience and knowledge that has been passed down through the generations, and they have lived in a relatively closed environment for generations, and they also have a stubborn self-perception that they still regard themselves as the old people of the Yan Emperor. They blocked the road and questioned Bo Yu, but they were secretly instigated by Xiang Liu.

And for this kind of person, the best way to persuade is to use their own inherent views, Bo Yu simply showed the Yan Emperor's order, and the elders of the clans immediately led the people to worship. Of course, Bo Yu didn't want to call them on Emperor Yan's order, and now that Emperor Yan is no longer in power, then there is a suspicion of rebellion. He just wanted people everywhere to listen patiently and without resistance to his introduction of the water control strategy.

Bo Yu did not forget what he was doing along the way, every time he camped in a crowded place, he carved a code of education on the trunk of the tree and introduced it to the people.

What did the elders of various tribes do with Bo Yu? Bo Yu not only introduced the strategy of water control to them, but also made a promise after the water control. But in order to truly implement these promises, it is necessary to go to Xiangliu and invite the leaders of various tribes to discuss. So the elders of the clan followed Bo Yu to meet Xiangliu and the leaders of the various tribes, and they also had to participate in the discussion.

Fortunately, when the old people of the clan go out, they all have the young and strong descendants of the clan to follow and take care of them, and no matter how bad they are, they can get an ox cart to pull it, and they will not cause trouble to Bo Yu on the road. Wu Zhi disappeared, Bo Yu only brought an entourage of Bo Yi, and only one carriage, but when he arrived at the residence of the head of the Xiangliu Clan, he was followed by a mighty team of hundreds of people.

Before Xiangliu could react, Bo Yu had already arrived, and he came with the elders of various clans. Xiangliu wanted to incite the elders of various ethnic groups to embarrass Bo Yu, but these stubborn old people in turn strengthened their momentum for Bo Yu. The leaders of all the tribes gathered in the Bojun Mansion at this moment, and Lord Wen Boyu led the elders of the clan into the city, and Xiangliu also had to lead the people out of the mansion to greet him.

Xiangliu has a narrow forehead, pointed jaw, shaved shoulders, and a thin waist, but his figure is very tall, more than eight feet tall, and his description is very peculiar. On the square in front of Bojun's mansion, he saluted Bo Yu and said: "Lord Bo Yu has worked hard from afar, why don't you send servants to say hello in advance, so that we can go to greet you? Why did you bring all the elders here, I also heard that you showed the ancient Yan Emperor's decree, I wonder if the Son of Heaven knows?"

Xiang Liu had never seen Bo Yu, but he could recognize it at a glance. Although Chongbokun said that it was useless to control the water for nine years, it was by no means inaction, he himself and the body of the differentiated form god traveled all over the world, and many people everywhere knew him. And knowing Chongbokun is equivalent to knowing Boyu, so no matter where Boyu goes, he almost doesn't need to introduce himself.

Bo Yu also saluted: "When Yu Gang was attached to Emperor Xuanyuan, he should present the ancient Yan Emperor's decree to the Son of Heaven, but the Yan Emperor's order was not in Yu Gang's hands at that time, and now it is found by me. As for the clan elders from all over the country, they did not follow Emperor Yan's order, but heard that all the monarchs gathered here for the first time, wanting to participate in and discuss the matter of water control. ”

At this time, Wu Zhi's voice sounded in Bo Yu's mind: "This Xiangliu, with a fierce light in his eyes, is not an easy guy to deal with, I really didn't expect that there was such a Bojun in the old department of Emperor Yan, whose cultivation power is amazing, and he is almost not weaker than the snake cultivation back then." If you really do it, I'm afraid even I won't be able to fight him, Xiang Duo can only rely on the true immortal cultivation to take you away. ”

Bo Yu whispered in his heart: "Back then, Dijiang was ranked among the four great war gods of China, so what? I came to control the water, not to fight with Xiangliu, not by force, otherwise my father Chong Bo Kun is also one of the four great war gods of China, I am afraid that he would have already succeeded in controlling the water." ”

Wu Zhiyu said to himself: "Although I don't know Dijiang, but I have seen the cultivation of snakes, according to the various insights in the lower realm, if you talk about supernatural powers, today's Xiangliu is probably not weaker than Dijiang today." Don't always mention the four Chinese gods of war, Bo Yi is invincible, I naturally admire him, but now that he is gone, the four Chinese gods of war are only one-armed.

You must know that there are many masters in the world, many of whom you don't know, and even more that you don't expect. For example, those who besieged Bo Yi that day had five Nether True Immortals. Since ancient times, true immortals have ascended, and they may not have entered the fairy world, and some people do not know their traces, and they have returned to the world if they don't get it right. I didn't meet him along the way, but Sang-ryu was unexpected......"

Wu Zhi couldn't stop as soon as he opened his mouth, he not only told Bo Yu Xiangliu that his magical power was powerful, but also introduced the other people present one by one. For example, the two people on Xiang Liu's side should be the other two uncles who were canonized by the Son of Heaven, one of them is old and has a hidden illness, and he will not live long to live to the next year, and the other person was injured in the left shoulder ten years ago, as if he had been whipped by a whip, and there was a mole on his right buttocks......

Wu Zhi is a person from the Xuanyuan era, and he has soared to the Kunlun Immortal Realm as early as a few hundred years, of course he can't know these people, but this way he is familiar with today's world, all kinds of remarks he has heard, and combined with his own immortal consciousness observation and speculation, he can get all kinds of conclusions, and tell Bo Yu his judgment.

When I first met in Gaotao Mansion, Wu Zhi was still a master of the immortal family, who would have thought that as soon as he came out of Puhan City, he would expose his "true face", not only at this moment, but also without stopping his mouth along the way. Almost every time he met a person, he would analyze Bo Yu's origin, inner attitude, what kind of background he might have and what he had experienced.

He analyzes not only people, but also things and things, the folk customs of each village, the history of possible migration, how many people, how many men, women, old and young......

A lot of this information is valuable, but there are also a lot of things that are meaningless to Bo Yu at this moment, if you change someone, your scalp will blow up along the way, and you will meet such a master who knows almost everything and is always chattering in his head. But Bo Yu is really very cultivated, so he endured it and behaved as usual.

There are more than 370 people who came with Bo Yu, including more than 110 clan elders, so many people will definitely not be able to sit in the city lord's mansion. So everyone elected ten people as representatives, and they will enter the Bojun Mansion to participate in the discussion of water control.

As for the others, Xiang Liu ordered his subordinates to settle well, those who should rest, those who should eat, these clan elders are respected elders in various places, and no one can be offended. Bo Yu came from afar, of course Xiangliu wanted to set up a banquet to entertain, rest for the night first, and then start the discussion tomorrow. Since Bo Yu is here, he is not in a hurry for this day, and he will stay in Bojun's mansion that night.

Wu Zhi said in Bo Yu's mind again: "You actually dare to live in Xiangliu Mansion, he has bad intentions towards you, and he has become angry, but he endured it and didn't have a seizure. Once you turn your face, you won't even have a chance to run!"

Bo Yu asked in his heart: "So with Mr. Wu Zhi's knowledge, will he turn his face?...... If you want to assassinate me, this is his territory, and you can do it anywhere, so why bother in the city lord's mansion?"

Wu Zhi: "Well, according to my analysis, he won't turn his face at this time, at least not publicly." It's one thing if you don't care or not, but you must know it in your heart! Let me tell you, there are thirty-seven chiefs of various tribes gathered here, nine of whom obey Xiangliu's orders, and seventeen of whom are dissatisfied with Xiangliu but are forced to respect him by his power. ”

How did Wu Zhi see this? The immortal family can check people's moods, and he can also observe words and feelings, and it is not difficult to come to these conclusions based on all kinds of secret public opinions and speculations. In this way, isn't the ability of Wu Zhi to be similar to the talent and supernatural powers of the Witch Pig? In fact, these are still two different things, the Witch Pig observes people, only out of an instinct, and Wu Zhi knows so many tricks.

When he rested that night, Xiangliu arranged for two beauties to sleep, but Bo Yu refused. Wu Zhi told Bo Yu that in fact, these two beauties were all enjoyed by Xiangliu, and neither of them had children, so which small tribe in the surrounding area was sacrificed...... After Bo Yu fell asleep, Wu Zhi told him again that the utensils in the house were made of what materials, when, and in what way, and many of them should be from the Qi Li Department......

When mentioning the Qi Li Department, Bo Yu also deliberately asked a few questions, and when he talked about it next, Wu Zhi suddenly found that Bo Yu had fallen asleep. (To be continued.) )
