Chapter 194: Man and Heaven Are Together

Scanning the earth with a discerning eye, the earth is illuminated by the spiritual light of the totem pole, and the scene below the earth is clearly visible. A scene that made him feel incredible came into view.

A slender body with twists and turns, slowly swimming under the earth, on the fine scale armor, depicting the scenery of the earth, mountains and rivers, the body seems to be slender and weak, but contains majestic and heavy power.

"Incredible! It's incredible!" Ling Yun couldn't help but be amazed as he saw this scene beneath the earth. The dragon and snake pattern depicted on the totem actually formed this vein of dragon and snake under the earth.

Seeing this vein like a long snake, Ling Yun couldn't help but secretly think, "Isn't this the legendary dragon vein?"

Thinking that the dragon snake was often regarded as the embodiment of the earth, and that the leylines or spirit veins were sometimes called 'dragon veins', Ling Yun felt that this idea was not unfounded.

At this time, Ling Yun suddenly noticed that a ray of spiritual light extended from the lower end of the totem pole. The small spiritual light like silk threads actually nailed the long snake that was slowly swimming underground, making it only move within a limited range, unable to swim in all directions at will.

Looking at the totem pole, a thought suddenly flashed in Ling Yun's heart: "Could it be ...... Is this totem pole playing the role of a 'dragon pillar'?"

In the Taoist scriptures about feng shui, Ling Yun had seen a secret magic weapon specially used to fix the dragon vein-Dinglong Pillar. With the fixed dragon pillar, there are also feng shui magic tools such as trapped dragon locks and dragon sealing needles, which can fix the wandering earth dragon veins, making it impossible to escape.

Right now, this totem pole, with only a ray of aura, can tie the thing that looks like a dragon vein, making it impossible to move around. If the long snake is also a dragon vein, then this totem pole is obviously very similar to the dragon pillar.

Ling Yun was thinking about the long snake that seemed to be a dragon vein underground, and about the Dragon Pillar. Hou Chang withdrew the spell at this time, and the aura rising from the totem pole suddenly swirled and took it back. The scene that was clearly visible suddenly became blurred.

Ling Yun couldn't help but look up at him, and Hou Chang smiled proudly at this time: "This is the result of this festival!"

Ling Yun pondered for a while and said, "This dragon-like thing is not the 'dragon vein'?"

"That's good!" Hou Chang glanced at Ling Yun in surprise, a little surprised that he could guess the body of the thing, but he still explained it in detail.

"Before we came, Niang Niang specially ordered us to make this totem pole, and then let us hold a sacrifice after these gods and human tribes settled down, and ignited the dragon veins with the faith of all living beings......

Ling Yun's expression was sudden, although Hou Chang did not say the deeper reason, he still guessed some of Hou Tu's thoughts.

The belief of the earth is the belief of the earth, and the vein of the dragon and snake is the incarnation of the earth. Sacrificing the earth is sacrificing to the earth. But Houtu did not accept this faith, but carried this faith with the dragon and snake incarnated by the earth.

When faith is abundant, the dragon vein will grow, and when the dragon vein is strong, it will nourish the living beings, if the living soul is prosperous, it will nurture vitality, if the vitality is strong, it will be prosperous, if it is prosperous, then the spirit will gather, if the spirit is gathered, it will be born into people, and if the belief in life is born, it will enter the dragon vein......

This is a huge cycle that repeats itself, and the final spirit of creation gathers on the gods and people, so that the gods and people can grow. This kind of reciprocating cycle, the practice of placing the gods and men in the cycle, is clearly an attempt to connect heaven and earth with people, in order to explore the 'harmony between man and heaven'.

Houtu's approach is actually very similar to his method of interpreting the natal world - they are all about harmonizing the three talents as much as possible, so that all spirits are in the great cycle of heaven and earth, so that the world can evolve and grow through this.

However, the problems faced by Houtu are much more complicated than those faced by Ling Yun.

The gods and men are the chief of all spirits, and if they ignore the recyclable development of the world, they can indeed give birth to a prosperous civilization, but as all things in the world are finally consumed and exhausted, the end of this long of all spirits will be to accompany the world into the end.

Therefore, at the beginning, Houtu set up a path of harmony between man and heaven for the gods-man race, a path that can develop for a long time, but whether it can continue to go depends on the choice of the god-man race itself.

Understanding Houtu's good intentions, Ling Yun couldn't help but secretly admire her foresight: "Being able to speculate on the future for such a long time shows that His Majesty the Earth Emperor's grasp of humanity has reached a situation that no one can match." ”

After the end of this festival, the rest of the festival activities are the time for the people of this tribe to celebrate. Most of these festivals are organized by the whole tribe, and they have to celebrate because they want to celebrate. It was only a day or two of hard work on the left, and it was over.

In the early days of the festival, Ling Yun also participated in it, singing and dancing with them. But then he felt bored, so he quietly left the festival and went to think about his own business.

Later, he was often used as a high priest and participated in the early stages of the festival. It's just that because the status is too high, it makes those who celebrate the festival feel unnatural, so after participating in the beginning, they quietly leave the festival.

Before leaving, Hou Chang looked around, but he didn't see Ling Yun's figure, so he followed his guess and found Ling Yun's residence. Sure enough, at the door of 'Lingyunju', he saw Xiuyi's figure sitting on the boulder.

"I thought you were here, and sure enough, I found you here!"

'Lingyunju' stood in a forest next to the temple, not far from the entire tribe, neither too close to make noise, nor too far away to appear lonely. The pure atmosphere made Hou Chang's voice clear and audible, and as soon as Ling Yun raised his head, he saw Hou Chang's figure coming from afar.

"It's really fun that you don't go to the festival and celebrate, but come here to hide!"

Ling Yun didn't get up, and said lazily: "That festival celebration is too noisy, I don't like it very much. And the gap with them was too big, and he only participated a little and then withdrew. ”

"That's right. Hou Chang nodded, agreeing with his words, "There are only so many things in ordinary people's festivals, and the left is just some singing and dancing, and there is nothing to appreciate." ”

Even if the gods and people are not weak, they are just ordinary people in the eyes of the ancient god Hou Chang. Except for the clansmen who are also divine, or a strong person like Ling Yun whose cultivation is not weak, the ordinary god and human race is not even as good as the most ordinary true god, how can he get his attention?

"By the way, I just saw you meditating here quietly, what were you thinking just now?" After remembering the appearance of Ling Yun when he first saw him, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why don't you say it, I'll refer to it for you?"

Ling Yun didn't hide it: "The previous sacrifice made me feel something. I felt that Niangniang's methods were subtle, so I thought about the way of harmony between man and nature......" He said a little about what he was thinking.

The main thing is how to reconcile the contradiction between immortals and heaven when cultivating the immortal path. He didn't talk about the fairy road directly, but used humanity as a metaphor to talk about the contradictions between man and nature. By describing the development of humanity, it is a metaphor for the situation that may arise in the future of the fairy way.

To put it bluntly, immortal Taoism is actually another development of humanity. The so-called immortals, just looking at the word 'immortal', you can understand that the so-called 'immortal' is actually a person in the mountain. Since it is a 'human', it naturally has some of the characteristics of a 'human'.

When he was thinking about the means of Houtu just now, he had some vague thoughts, but he didn't have a clue for a while, so he sneaked back during the festival celebration, and only then did he think carefully about these problems.
