55 The Book of Heaven and Earth (I)
According to the guidance of the senior brother Lu Jiashan, the new disciples first learned the concept of "seal" - the so-called "seal", according to legend, is a symbol used by the heavenly gods to record the avenue of heaven and earth, as well as to express their own thoughts, and it is also the basis for all immortal magic and Taoism to be recorded and preserved. The new disciples learned the qi induction techniques before www.biquge.info in fact, they were recorded in seal script, and they were pronounced in ancient immortal sounds, so that they could have the effect of communicating heaven and earth, but they didn't understand the specific meaning before, and they were all rote memorization.
Including the words used by mortals in the world today, they are also the power of ancient times from the seal script - Cangjie created characters and ghosts and gods cry at night in this world is not just a legend. The book of the gods is called "seal", the book of mortals is called "Wen", and the book of demons and ghosts is called "殄...... All innate spiritual creatures will sooner or later form their own writing system.
However, compared to the mortal script, which was merely a pictorial symbol for recording and had no other purpose, the seal script used by the gods was much more powerful - it was itself the embodiment of all the regular things in heaven and earth. Being proficient in the use of seal script means that you can communicate with heaven and earth. The ancient immortals and gods had great power when they said casually, because they exported into "seals", which could directly invoke the aura and power between heaven and earth to achieve an incomparably powerful effect.
Originally, the seal script was only used by the gods, but later some mortals also learned the language, but only if they were able to manipulate the mana in their bodies - that is, become immortal cultivators. When these immortal cultivators use their own mana as a guide and concentrate their minds to draw out the corresponding seal inscriptions in their hearts, they can also communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth in a short period of time, and use the power of heaven and earth to achieve the desired effect - this is the origin of all kinds of Taoist techniques and spells.
The road is simple, the earliest seal used by the ancient gods is actually not much, only thirty-six - only these thirty-six symbols can encompass all things in heaven and earth, called "heavenly seal". However, in the later years, in the hands of those inferior immortals, or mortals who had learned immortal arts, these thirty-six heavenly seals alone were not enough - their abilities were not as good as those ancient gods, and they could not stimulate the full power of the heavenly seals, so some auxiliary seals were added to meet the more complex meaning expressions, and this part of the new seals was no more and less, and it happened that there were seventy-two, which were called "books from the ground".
The Book of Heaven and Earth, together one hundred and eight, is all the words that constitute the entire Immortal Daoist system. Among them, the heavenly seal represents the original power that constitutes all things in the world, such as the small green wind talisman drawn by Lu Jiashan before, its core pattern is a seal script "wind" character, and the core of the thunder guide charm is a seal script "thunder" character, so as to borrow the power of wind and thunder from heaven and earth.
As for how to use this power after borrowing, it is to be expressed through the patterns of the ground script drawn around it - Senior Brother Lu explained in detail in this part, but many new disciples still didn't understand it, but Huang Chang actually understood. However, he understood it in modern linguistic thinking: the thirty-six heavenly seals should all be nouns, and each one represented a specific concept. For example, "heaven", "earth", "man", "ghost", "wind", "thunder", "water", "fire", ...... Wait a minute.
The nature of the Book from the Ground is much more complex, and it mainly expresses the various meanings of guiding, borrowing, aggregating, and discretizing the power of the source...... In terms of status in linguistics, it is used for a variety of purposes including verbs, particles, prepositions, adjectives, and even roots, tenses, and voices in the Latin language family. The same heavenly seal text, with the assistance of different ground scripts, can produce different effects - Lu Jiashan later made a demonstration: like the previous small green wind talisman, a talisman with the word "wind" as the core, but because the small characters drawn around the ground are different, the final effect is a powerful tornado, which is the composition of different spells.
Obviously, if anyone can fully understand these one hundred and eight seal books, they will also completely grasp the mysteries of all the immortal methods and Taoism in the world. It's a pity that with the passage of time and the dispersion for many years, in today's immortal cultivation world, there is no sect that can completely retain the secrets of these one hundred and eight seal books. In many small and medium-sized sects, there are only one or two heavenly seals, and the inheritance of seven or eight earth books can only use the corresponding Taoist techniques, and their strength is low. And although those major sects are better, they are also limited - if they have seven or eight heavenly seals and the use of twenty or thirty earth scripts, they can already be called great sects.
When it comes to this, all the new disciples are of course very curious -- as the most powerful super-gate sect among the many immortal sects in the world, does our Xi Kunlun not even have a complete inheritance of the Heavenly Seal Book and the Earth Book in this sect? The answer is that there really is no -- the number of seal scripts mastered by Xi Kunlun is the largest among all the immortal sects in the world, but there are only 19 Heavenly Seals, 37 Earth Scripts, a total of 56 seal scripts, which is just over half of the total, and the corresponding Taoist techniques are of course all based on these 56 seal scripts. This is enough to support the strength of the first sect in the world.
When he said this, Lu Jiashan hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"It is said that on the peak of the ancient Kunlun Mountain, that is, the 'immortal peak' that is now drifting overseas, there is the heavenly palace god where the ancient gods live. And on the jade screen of the gold list, there are all one hundred and eight complete seal script characters. Over the years, countless masters have been looking for the peak of the immortals, in addition to the legendary ladder to the sky, they want to restore the complete seal script Taoist system, but it is also one of the reasons. ”
"And in the task list of the major sects in the world, there is one item that is the same - whoever can find a new seal script for his sect will be rewarded. Sect merits, spirit stones, magic weapons, and even magic weapon rewards...... The whole nine yards. Or even if you find out the relevant clues, it can be regarded as a great achievement, and we are the same in West Kunlun. ”
Lu Jiashan mentioned it in passing, but it aroused everyone's interest - the door skills can be exchanged for spirit stones, and the new disciples are all short of spirit stones. So we discussed this word by word.
"There are many immortal sects in the world, if they cooperate and exchange with each other, can they make up these one hundred and eight seal scripts?"
Someone asked, Lu Jiashan laughed:
"This idea was put forward many years ago, but unfortunately it is still incomplete - first of all, the vast majority of the seal scripts mastered by the various sects are duplicated, in fact, the seal script inheritance of many sects is still from our Kunlun. There were once sect elders who counted that even if they could collect all the seal scripts that all the sects had mastered today, there were only about twenty-seven heavenly seals and fifty-four earth books, and the remaining nine heavenly seals and eighteen earth books were really lost. ”
