Chapter 164: Man in History

Pei Shouchong spent an hour talking to Li Qingyan about the next words. As they spoke, the sky outside the window slowly turned gloomy. After a while, it began to drizzle. But soon the weather got colder and the wind picked up again. So the drizzle turned into sleet, which gradually filled the windows.

Li Qingyan listened quietly and rarely interrupted him. And Pei Shouchong's expression was calm and solemn when he spoke, and he couldn't see any flaws. This made Li Qingyan have to feel that at least eighty or ninety percent of what he said should be true. Because if you intend to deceive yourself to achieve something...... Never tell the "past" that sounds like some clumsy, detached, unimaginable fantasy story.

The following is a conversation between two people over the course of an hour.

"If you want to know your background, you have to talk about your father first. To talk about your father, you have to talk about someone in history. This man, I'm sure you've heard of it many timesβ€”ah, needless to say, you must have never paid attention to him. ”

"You must have learned the history of the six sects and the five schools during your time in the seminary and in Siberia, as well as the lives of some of their outstanding figures. You must also know that most of the patriarchs who have left their names in history have made outstanding contributions to the cultivation of techniques. For example, creating an original exercise, or improving a practice. ”

"So now please think about it carefully, when the book mentions what exercises they created or improved, how do they usually start?"

Li Qingyan thought for a while before he said, "Generally, say someone...... At a certain time and somewhere, the 'celestial and human senses', the heart is moved, how and how, or ...... Well...... At a certain time and somewhere, 'meet strange people', and have an understanding of how to do it, or ...... Or...... Huh?"

"Yes. You've found out – there's no 'or'. The dozens or hundreds of characters you see, or even many more who are famous in history but are not in your textbooks, when they describe how they achieved a certain achievement, there are only these two sentences at the beginning - either celestial induction, or chance encounter with strange people. ”

"There have been observant people who have found this problem before. In fact, there are too many such people - those children who read history often realize this. Then the answer to them is probably that these two fixed sentence patterns were common patterns when people wrote biographies in ancient times. It is said that the great sages of ancient times were in awe of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, and felt that the cultivation methods originally existed in the world, and they only obtained them by chance and occasional enlightenment. Don't dare to be greedy for the merits of heaven, so you want to borrow other things. ”

But now I want to tell you that these two sentences have specific meanings. Let's not talk about the first sentence of celestial induction, let's talk about the second sentence first. This strange person is actually referring to a specific person. ”

"Some of us think that this strange man is actually your father. There are also others who believe that this strange person should refer to the one to which your father belongs...... The existence of such an organization or denomination. If this sect or organization really exists, then its inheritance model is likely to be one-to-one - that is, there is only one master and only one disciple, and it is passed down from generation to generation. ”

"Because the ancestor who first met that 'strange man' was about 4,800 years ago. At that time, it was only more than two hundred years since the ancestral soul appeared, but only after these two hundred years, there was already a Dao Gate. There is also a lot of controversy about this history. In recent years, some people have said that our six sects and five sects have beautified that period of history. It is said that the ancestral soul has been in existence for two hundred years, and it is impossible to establish a sect of that scale at once - there are thousands or tens of thousands of disciples under the sect, and they have even replaced the king and the son of heaven in the mortal world and ruled the land of Kyushu for a period of time. ”

"But actually, it's not an exaggeration at all. We did not beautify that history, on the contrary, we deliberately dwarfed that history. Because the appearance of the first cultivation sect was actually in the sixth year after the arrival of the ancestral soul. The appearance of the first practice was actually the year after the arrival of the ancestral spirit. ”

"Yes, you will want to ask, how is it possible to have the practice of cultivation in the second year after the incarnation of the supernatural power? This is because it was not cultivated by the ancestors themselves, but the skill of greedy for heaven. This day is the day of the 'celestial induction' that I mentioned earlier. To put it more colloquially, it's God. ”

"The Taoist gods enshrined by the six sects and five sects, looking at it now, people think that it is an obscurantist belief in the era of ignorance. Today, I feel that the monks are about to figure out some of the laws that exist after the supernatural powers, and there is no need to explain them with gods as in ancient times. ”

"But it's really something they came up withβ€”every Dao Divine Monarch we worship is real in history. ”

"For example, in the second year after the ancestral soul appeared, the Supreme Haotian Jade Emperor Divine Monarch appeared and taught the first magic technique to a human ancestor - the current Jade Emperor Golden Sutra. This thing, the disciples of the six sects and five sects have to learn when they first get started, and now it can also be searched on the Internet, and it is a method that cannot be more superficial. But you should know that it has a history of more than 5,000 years, and it is the first exercise that was obtained because of the 'celestial and human induction'. ”

"Therefore, whenever it is written in the history books 'Heaven and Man Induction', it means that this thing was passed down to the immortal ancestors by a descending deity. Oh, you don't need to ask meβ€”I haven't seen any of the Twelve True Monarchs of the Dao Sect with my own eyes. Even those predecessors in the history books were just a glimpse when they saw Zhenjun. When some of the True Monarchs in the book say that they look like celestials, but in fact, Xiao Li, their appearance may be similar to the thing that appeared in Beishan the other night - this is when they first appeared. But after that, it will change. ”

"Knowing this, you will be able to understand what I am going to say - the vast majority of the sources of the cultivation of the six sects and five sects, and even those sects that once existed and then died out in history, are divided into two parts. Part of it is passed down by the gods, the Twelve True Monarchs. The other part is the biography of the strange man. ”

"About 4,800 years ago, the first Immortal Ancestor met that god-man. According to the records that have been handed down, the strange man was handsome, his words and deeds were dashing, and his cultivation was extremely high. It was that person who passed on a technique to him, so that he broke through a bottleneck at that time and entered the realm of returning to the basics. ”

"It stands to reason that this person should also be considered to be the incarnation of the god and the descent of the gods. But the reason why this was not the case is that in the five thousand years that followed, he probably appeared more than thirty times – at different times in history. He passed down the exercises, but told people to beware of the twelve true monarchs, saying that they had other plans and harbored evil intentions, and sooner or later they would bring great disaster to the world. ”

"It's a difficult situation – the strange man's face hasn't changed for thousands of years. There is more than one immortal ancestor who has seen him, so to speak, the Twelve True Monarchs of the Dao System are the ancestors of our six sects and five sects, so is that strange person. The whole school of practice in Kyushu has grown because of these two, but they seem to see each other as enemies, and you say, what should we do? Yes, in the end we will do nothing - just think of it as an immortal fight. ”

"But during this period, the ancestors would think about a question - when the Twelve True Monarchs appeared, they often only showed one side and did not have much contact with mortals. And when that strange man appears, he often talks and interacts with people. This allows us to know more about him. Then I realized that this man seemed to have lived for thousands of years. If there really is a cultivator who has lived for such a long time, the realm should be far beyond the current 'first level'. But does this realm really exist?"

"So, could it be that it wasn't just one person, but many people, one lineage? Could it be that they got something from the gods by chance, and then did what happened? This kind of conjecture has never disappeared in the thousands of years of history of the Dao system. Many people wanted to see the man for themselves, but they didn't have the chance. ”

"It wasn't until nearly 100 years ago, when we saw the man with our own eyes, that we felt that the mystery was about to be solved. What an honor it must have been to see such a figure hidden in a pile of old papers. But at that time, we didn't expect that meeting him would be the beginning of disaster. ”

"Because he was back thenβ€” oh yes. That's when we realized that it was really a person. Truly a man who has lived for more than five thousand years - no longer content to remind us to beware of the gods, but wants us to kill them with him. ”
