A few days later, a Mr. Xixi came to Mengfu, I heard that he used to be a disciple of Taoism, and for some reason he became a teacher, especially for children. It is said that all the disciples taught by this gentleman are intelligent and successful, but some of them are not serious and do not go with the world.

On the first day of the seventh month, the hour has just passed. Meng Hao led Meng Ran to the West Courtyard, which was specially prepared for Mr. Xixi's teaching.

When he arrived in the room, Meng Hao first made a gesture to the clear elder, and said, "Mr. Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time." This time, please do it all for the enlightenment of the dog, and in the future, the dog's homework will have Mr. Lauz. ”

After that, I made another move.

After Mr. Qi returned the salute, he smiled and said, "Brother Meng, you are always so polite, it makes me feel so uncomfortable, don't do it in the future." ”

Meng Hao smiled, then turned to his son and said, "Ran'er, this is Mr. Qi, my father's best friend, you will learn from him in the future, don't lose your father's face." ”

After Meng Ran nodded to his father, he bowed down to Mr. Qi and said, "Ran'er will meet Mr. Qi." ”

Mr. Qi leaned over and pulled Meng Ran up, and said with a smile: "What a boy who knows etiquette, follow me to learn hard in the future." ”

After that, he laughed to himself.

After that, Meng Ran began his enlightenment career.

"Ran'er, at the beginning of teaching the teacher, I will explain the history of China to you first, would you like to listen?" Mr. Qi said to Meng Ran warmly with one hand behind his back and the other on his beard.

"Sir, the disciple can't ask for it. Meng Ran looked delighted. I can't understand Shenzhou, but now I am finally willing to take the initiative to explain, and I am very happy.

"Okay, I'll start talking as a teacher. ”

In other words, when Hongmeng first opened, the chaos of heaven and earth was like a chicken, there were no living beings, heaven and earth were connected, and only a chaotic green lotus was bred in the middle, and the green lotus had five leaves, flowered twenty-four petals, and formed a lotus seed. At the end of the billion-year period, the lotus seed cracked, and the great god of Pangu was born with an axe in his hand.

Subsequently, the great god Pangu, dissatisfied with the endless oppression in the chaos, used the heaven-opening axe to split the heavens and the earth, causing the turbidity to sink into the earth and the clear qi to rise into the sky.

After the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, the heaven and earth were unstable, and the great god of Pangu had the blue sky on his head, stepped on the earth, and grew one zhang higher every day, so that the sky also increased one zhang every day, and the earth also increased one zhang every day, and after 18,000 years, the heaven and earth were shaped. Later, the great god of Pangu felt that there was nothing in heaven and earth, so he turned into a desolate: the left eye is the sun, the right eye is the moon, and the hair becomes a starry spot; blood becomes rivers, lakes and seas, muscles become thousands of miles of fertile fields; bones become grass and trees, muscles and veins become roads; teeth become gold and stones, and essence becomes pearls; qi is wind and clouds, sound is thunder, and sweat is rain and dew; when Pangu god falls, his head and limbs turn into five mountains, but the backbone becomes the fulcrum between heaven and earth, and the navel turns into a sea of blood, which is tens of thousands of miles in circumference, and the blood waves are rolling in it, and the fish and shrimp are not prosperous, birds and insects do not come, the anger of heaven and earth is all gathered here, and the people of the flood desolation call this place the sea of netherworld blood.

At the moment when the Pangu Great God fell, three clear qi and twelve turbid qi escaped from his body. The three clear qi ascended and turned into Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun. The twelve turbidity gases descended and turned into twelve ancestral witches, namely: the ancestor of gold, the ancestor of wood, the ancestor of water, the ancestor of fire, Zhurong, the ancestor of wind, the ancestor of rain, Xuanming, the ancestor of thunder, Wu Qiangliang, the ancestor of electricity, the ancestor of space, the ancestor of time, the candle of Jiuyin, the ancestor of weather, and the ancestor of earth.

The millennium war, the Lich has risen. Emperor Jun, Taiyi fell. Heshu Luotu is obtained by Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the Eastern Emperor Bell is missing. The ancestors and witches fell one after another, and the co-workers were furious, and their heads could not touch the mountains. Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun took half of the Zhou Mountain and made it into a "heaven-turning seal". The pillars of heaven collapsed, the four poles were in ruins, most of the lich was killed and wounded, and the flood was shattered. Nuwa practiced colorful stones to make up for the sky, and the six saints gathered the fragments of the flood to form the great land of Shenzhou.

After that, most of the demon clans became immortal mounts, most of them went to the fairy world, and some of them escaped into the void and stayed away from Shenzhou. It is that there is no sacredness in Shenzhou.

Then Hongjun came out and formulated the rules of heaven, and the sacred was not allowed to set foot in Shenzhou, which started the era of mortal cultivation of immortals with Shenzhou.

Today, the Taoist sect on the Wuliang Mountain on the coast of the East China Sea was founded by the three sages of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing in the past. Soon after the ascension of the saint, there was a dispute between the Dao sect and the Dao system.

Some people think that the physical body is just a stinky skin, and that the physical body is just a carrier for cultivating the mind, just a treasure raft to cross the sea of suffering, because the mind and spirit can only be enlightened when they are carried on the physical body.

Through practice or enlightenment, one can get rid of the karmic causes of afflictions, destroy the bitter fruits of birth and death, never be subject to the cycle of birth and death again, and achieve the state of happiness and inaction, liberation, and freedom, which is called nirvana.

But most people insist that the physical body is the most important thing, and they can ascend to the immortal realm through physical cultivation, so as to live forever. It is said that the birth of a person is from the meeting of parents and the two qi are combined, that is, the essence and blood are the fetal cells, and there is too much quality after the beginning. Yin inherits yang, qi is born with the fetus, and the shape of three hundred days is round. The spiritual light enters the body and separates from the mother. Since Taisu has risen and fallen, and yellow buds have grown. Five thousand days are enough, and their number is eighty-one zhang. Fang was fifteen, and he was called a boy. It is half of the yin and the yang, which can be compared to the light of the east sun. In the past, Yuan Yang was lost, true qi was dissipated, and weak qi was sick, old, dead, and extinct. Ignorant in life, self-destructive aura, fierce and stubborn in a lifetime, time to divide the number of life. Therefore, there is a difference in the next life, and there is a length of life. Resurrection of birth, resurrection of destruction. If you don't realize and the world falls, you will lose yourself in a different kind and see through another shell. The root nature of the ultimate truth is no longer human, and there is no liberation from reincarnation. Therefore, we need to cultivate ourselves and ascend to the Tao.

In that battle over Taoism, there was a later Buddhism, which is now the Great Buddha Temple in the desert in the west of the Liang Kingdom.

Two hundred years ago, the Daoist sect had another sword dispute. The first line of the Sword Sect believes that it should be based on the way of the sword, supplemented by Taoism, so that it can be invincible and unbreakable in the world; the first line of the Taoist sect believes that it should be based on Taoism, supplemented by the way of the sword, then the inside can rhyme the spirit, and the outside can show rigidity. Because of this controversy, the discussion was conducted through a competition, and at the beginning it was more amiable, but then it became more and more popular, and finally it evolved into a naked vendetta. However, in the end, through the discussion of the Dao, a conclusion was also drawn: although the Sword Sect grew rapidly, its successor was weak, and it was easy to breed demonic spirits; On the surface, the result of the Dao Sect was the victory of the Dao Sect, so there was a later split of the Dao Sect, which was divided into two schools: the Dao Sect and the Sword Sect.

In the following decades, the two sects of Dao and Sword fought continuously, and countless casualties were imposed. Later, the Dao Sect produced several outstanding people who were not born in the world, and completely suppressed the Sword Sect, so that today, the Sword Sect is in decline, and the sect is almost wiped out, leaving only the sect master Huangfu Xuan to survive in the world, and he is worried all day long.

Meng Ran listened quietly, scratching his ears and cheeks from time to time, marveling at the magic from time to time, and he was even more obsessed with what was happening on the Shenzhou Continent, wanting to hear more content.

Looking at Meng Ran, whose eyes were full of longing, Mr. Qi asked gently, "Ran'er, do you have any questions?"

"Sir, the disciple still wants to hear it, please continue to speak. Meng Ran looked at Mr. Qi, full of nervousness, and said seriously.

Mr. Qi paced a few steps and said slowly: "Shenzhou was originally decided, and after the divine left Shenzhou, Xia Qi, the son of Yushen, established the Xia Dynasty, which was the first dynasty on the Shenzhou continent. ”

After more than ten generations of Xia Chuan, after the death of Emperor Xia, his son Ji succeeded to the throne. Ji Shanwu, "Book of Xia" records: Ji "hand to hand fight jackals, foot chasing four horses". During the reign of Ji, the relationship between the Xia Kingdom and the border tribes was increasingly broken. The number of tribes paying tribute to the Xia kingdom was decreasing, and as a result, the Jie often crusaded against tribes that did not obey their will. Ancient texts say that he was greedy for sex, and after defeating a tribe, he would choose a favorite woman from the tribe as a concubine. The repeated conquests of the Ji also angered all the border tribes, and the Yu clan was exterminated for disobedience.

During this period, the Shang clan also flourished. Emperor Xia also defeated Tang He, the leader of Shang, under the pretext that the Shang clan was not satisfied. Shang Tang was imprisoned in Xiatai and subsequently released. In addition to the deterioration of the Xia family's foreign relations, ancient documents also mention that the Xia Emperor misemployed people in the court.

Xia Dizhen only cared about pleasure and ignored the suffering of the people. Legend has it that Xia Min cursed Xia Di Ji to return to heaven as soon as possible, Xia Di Ji heard and laughed that he was the sun in the sky, the sun did not die, he could not die, Xia Min pointed to the sun, asked when the sun would break, and was willing to die with it.

Later, Tang, the leader of the Shang clan, took advantage of the people's hatred of Xia Dijian to unite all tribes to crusade against Xia. Emperor Xia was furious, and he drove the expedition in person, but the power of the tribes was strong, and the Xia army could not resist it, and Emperor Xia fought and fled. Eventually, he fled to Narujo, where Shang Tang pursued him and fought a great battle, where Emperor Xia was defeated again, banished by Tang to Lishan, and finally ran to the Nanchao Mountain, where he died.

At this point, the Xia Dynasty fell. The Xia Dynasty, the fourteenth and seventeenth monarchs, lasted 471 years.

Shangtang is a country, and the country is called a big business. According to the exploits of each tribe and the virtues of each leader during the old war against the Xia Kingdom, Emperor Tang divided the vassal states into feudal states.

It's a pity that the way of heaven lasts forever, everything starts again, and everything is like a reincarnation.

Speaking of this, Mr. Qi leaned back and let out a long sigh, then turned around and said solemnly to Meng Ran: "Ran'er, you have to remember that reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people wise, calculus makes people precise, philosophy makes people profound, morality makes people cultivated, and logical rhetoric makes people good at argumentation. ”

Then he added: "However, you must not take your word for it when you read books, especially history books. Such books are all made by the hands of later generations, and the authenticity of the content cannot be trusted, as long as you have your own opinion. ”

Seeing that it was rare for Mr. to be so serious, Meng Ran nodded vigorously.

When Mr. Qi saw this, he continued to speak.
