548 History of the Universe
Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate.
Far away in the 'Flood Period', when heaven and earth were not divided, there were only fierce beasts without intelligence, and endless disasters. At this time, the state of the universe is called: Taiyi.
Finally, there was something that opened the spiritual aperture, and gradually gained sanity, becoming the first and only 'awake being' in the universe, and was revered by later generations as: 'Founding Yuan Spirit'. The universe is now called: the beginning.
After enduring unimaginable loneliness and loneliness, he gradually comprehended a trace of mystery and created a set of mysteries. As a result, some creatures who had also opened their spiritual senses came to listen to his preaching. At this time, the universe has reached the state of the 'beginning'.
As if in order to fulfill some kind of agreement, or a mysterious mission, the founding primordial spirit actually made a ghost to use the supreme spiritual power of the creation artifact to divide his self-created Xuan Gong into four; And at this moment, out of nowhere, four creatures with different images and the beginning of the spiritual aperture appeared.
Therefore, the founding Yuan Ling made each of them cultivate one door, namely: the eldest Hongjun Ancestor, cultivating 'Xuan Qing Qi', the second mixed Kun Patriarch, cultivating 'Xuan Lingqi', the third Nuwa, cultivating 'Xuan Air', and the old Si Lu pressing Daojun, cultivating 'Xuan Ming Qi', and the combination is: 'Qing Ling Kongming Supreme Xuan Gong'.
At this time, it was called the 'primeval period' by later generations.
At the same time, the Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had already cultivated the positive fruit, ruled their own kind and ruled the heavenly realm; The shamans, led by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, live in the earthly realm.
At this time, the universe should already have a tangible substance, that is, a 'tangible heaven' formed by the rise of pure qi; and the turbidity gas sinks and gathers to form a 'textured earth', so the form of the universe at this time is called: 'Taisu'.
Countless years later, the Lich conflict intensified, and a great war destroyed the world. Later, Nuwa made up for the sky with great magical powers, so that this universe did not collapse.
Since then, the human beings created by Nuwa have gradually stepped onto the stage, and the 'ancient period' has ended and the 'ancient period' has begun.
At the same time, the three beings who were divided into three by the Yuan Shen of the pioneer of this universe have finally achieved the results of cultivation, namely: Yuqing Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
It is said that when Pangu opened the world, the Chaos Blue Lotus was destroyed, and then the four lotus seeds of the Chaos Blue Lotus were bred: the Twelve Meritorious Golden Lotus, the Twelve Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus, the Twelve Rank Destruction Black Lotus, and the Twelve Grade Creation Blue Lotus.
Among them, the twelve products of the green lotus were obtained by the Taoist ancestor Hongjun, and then turned into three spiritual treasures and gave them to his three disciples, namely: lotus, turned into the flat crutch of Taishang Laojun; lotus root, turned into the three treasures and jade ruyi of the Yuan Shi Tianzun; The lotus leaf turned into the Qingping sword of the Tongtian Sect Master.
The 12-grade merit golden lotus is obtained by the Taoist: sitting on the lotus platform, there is nothing to break, and it is a thing of luck in the Western religion. It was originally the best innate spiritual treasure, and later in the war of the gods, it was eaten by the mosquito people and became a nine-grade lotus platform, which made its quality decline.
The Twelve Qualities of Karma Fire Red Lotus are owned by the ancestor of the Blood Sea Styx: sitting on the lotus platform, there is nothing to break, burning karma and turning karma into fire, both offensive and defensive.
The twelve-grade black lotus that destroys the world is obtained by the demon ancestor Rahu: sitting on the lotus platform, there is nothing to break, and it can absorb the breath of tyranny and destruction.
Taishang Laojun, who obtained the Twelve Grades of Creation and Transformation Blue Lotus 'Lotus', kept flipping, rotating, reversing, and turning forward from the Dan furnace when refining it into his own flat crutch...... In the lotus flower, I realized: the mystery of the Taiji diagram.
A circular figure made of two fish-like figures in black and white, hugging each other. The philosophical principles contained in the seemingly simple graphics fully express the principle of the existence of life and the principle of movement and change.
Two fish-like figures, one white and one black, indicate that things are composed of two attributes: yin and yang; The circular figure formed by them embracing each other indicates that the two attributes of yin and yang in things are not separated from each other, but a combination of yin and yang, yin is inseparable from yang, yang is inseparable from yin, negative yin hugs yang (that is, two into one), yin and yang are fundamental to each other; the two fisheyes in the circular figure indicate that the two attributes of yin and yang in things are not absolute, but relative, and the yin attributes of things also contain some yang attributes, and the yang attributes of things also contain some yin attributes.
It is precisely because there is yang in yin and yin in yang, and the combination of yin and yang makes the process of yin and yang rise and fall through the internal changes of yin and yang, so that the whole thing can change.
The black and white areas in the circular figure are equal, indicating that yin and yang are in a state of equilibrium, and it is a curve rather than a straight line dividing the circular figure into two figures with equal area, which indicates that the two things of yin and yang are in a state of opposition and struggle with each other, rather than a static equilibrium that is separated from each other and isolated from each other.
If you can't see it, you will be called Yi, if you don't hear it, you will be called Xi, and if you can't fight, you will be called a small name. It is said to be formless, the image of nothing, and it is said to be trance. The first step is seen, and then the followers are not seen.
Since then, the universe has finally stabilized, and this state is called 'Tai Chi' by later generations.
Chaos gives birth to Xiyi, Xiyi gives birth to Wuji, Wuji gives birth to Jiji, Taiji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two Yi, Liangyi gives birth to Sancai, Sancai gives birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to five elements, five elements give birth to Liuhe, Liuhe gives birth to seven stars, seven stars give birth to gossip, gossip gives birth to nine palaces, and everything belongs to the ten directions. Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments are divided into three talents, four images, five elements, flat six combinations, seven stars, eight trigrams, nine palaces, the number of Heluo, six six endless, ninety-nine infinite...... There are so many changes...... The river is out of the picture, Luo is out of the book, and the sage is the same. Yi Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, and gossip gives birth to all things.
But at this time, in the universe, there are many heroes, who doesn't think that I am the biggest king? So, a movie god war kicked off.
Eventually, the Terrans dominated the realm, and the 'Antiquity Period' ended.
At this time, the universe has been perfected, and the small world where our human race is located has begun to mature to decline.
Because of that Lich War, the heavens and the earth were destroyed, resulting in a large loss of spiritual power in the heavens and the earth, and the most affected thing is: the demon clan that could be enlightened after cultivating for a hundred or eighty years has become a thousand years, and then completely degenerated into the current animal.
Although there is not much spiritual power left in the human world, there are still many strange flowers and fruits left over from the ancient period. Originally, it was by people, and the people at that time were not the people we are now, to be precise: it should be 'half-orcs', that is, 'witches'.
Later, part of them evolved into what we now have as Terrans; Part of it degenerated into the animals of today.
Initially, some witches ate all kinds of strange flowers and fruits by mistake, and thus possessed various abilities to shine in their people. Later, these strange things aroused the strong interest of a shaman, and after his many investigations and practices, he developed a set of methods for refining strange flowers and fruits, so that they could exert their maximum effect.
This sorcerer with the surname Jiang is the originator of the cultivation of the Outer Dan Technique-Shennong's clan. Later, he became the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang, with the honorific title: Emperor Yan, and also the first Emperor Yan.
After Shennong gave birth to Emperor Kui, Emperor Kuisheng, Emperor Chengsheng, Emperor Ming, Emperor Mingsheng, Emperor Yak, Emperor Yak, Emperor Mourning, Emperor Mourning, Emperor Kesheng, Emperor Yu, after 530 years, was replaced by the Yellow Emperor, so far the Wu tribe withdrew from the historical stage, and the human race prospered!
However, at that time, the human race was only the lowest creature in the world, and the spiritual intelligence was just beginning, and there was no way to peek into the mysteries of heaven and earth. At that time, the demon clan and the witch clan all had great powers, and no one obeyed anyone due to historical reasons; As a result, there were constant disputes and frictions between them......
In order to ensure the peace of heaven and earth, in the end, Hongjun Daoren came forward and instructed the three apprentices to calm their 'interception and interpretation dispute' with a battle of the gods. In the end, a 'little poem' by the king of Shang became the fuse of this great war between the past and the present.
The few remaining spiritual powers of heaven and earth were almost exhausted, making the cultivation of the human race hopeless.
Therefore, Taishang Laojun should be reincarnated, preached in the world, and was respected by later generations as: Moral Heavenly Zun.
The 'Neidan technique' of the cultivation of the true vein has appeared on the stage of history, and the representative figures are: 'Li Er' and Zhuang Zhou, the reincarnation of Taishang Laojun.
At the beginning, there were really a lot of people who turned into immortals, but not later; After the Eight Immortals, there is no more deeds of cultivators becoming immortals. The cultivators even quietly withdrew from the stage of history.
And the last Taoist priest who turned into an immortal was Taiji Zhang Sanfeng, and although he also practiced the Neidan technique, he was 'entering the Tao with martial arts'.
Since then, the ancient period has ended, and the human world has also entered the era of the end of the law. The era of the end of the law can be divided into: modern times, that is, the ancient period; Modern is what we mean in the present; The last generation, that is, the period of decline.
As the current world is becoming more and more unsuitable for cultivation, there are fewer and fewer people who have attained the Tao and become immortals, and gradually the 'Immortal Dao' has become a legend, and finally it is believed that it is just a 'mythical' story that does not exist.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the immortal way, and even fewer people who practice it; Eventually, the world is overwhelmed by evil and materialistic desires......
"What's the point of letting us cultivate?" After listening to Li Ming's explanation, Xu Manman, who was originally in a high mood, asked a little depressed.
"That's why I went to school!" Li Ming also said with some distress: "Contact more people! I believe that there are still many immortal cultivators in this world, but I don't know where they are hidden?"
After speaking, Li Ming looked out the window, and it was already full of lights, shining brightly. So he said, "Let's go out for a meal, and then I'll teach you the swordsmanship that an old grandfather taught me." ”
"This set of swordsmanship can definitely stand up to the swordsmanship I practiced. It's just that I had already cultivated the Dragon Yin Sword Screaming Nine Heavens Technique before that old man called me, otherwise I would really have cultivated this set of sword techniques!"
"Is there any difference between this set of swordsmanship and the swordsmanship you practiced?" Xu Manman asked curiously.
"There is still a difference. How can I explain it to you?" Li Ming pondered for a long time before he said: "It's more troublesome to explain, let's make an analogy! Have you seen the Xiaoao Jianghu? This is similar to the Sword Sect and Qi Sect of the Huashan Sect in the Xiaoao Jianghu. ”
"Then do you want to teach me the swordsmanship that belongs to the Qi Sect? Or the Sword Sect? I declare it in advance!" Xu Manman thought for a while, and said cutely: "If it's the Qi Sect, people don't want to learn it! People want to learn the swordsmanship of the Linghu Chong Sword Sect!"
