Chapter 166: Five Elements
Thank you for your support, and ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes as usual.
Five days later, a group of more than a dozen people walked out of the Gobi Desert and entered the Bingsha Sea, one of the two seas.
In the Gobi Desert, the sun is scorching and the surface is scorching. As soon as you enter the ice brake sea, the sunlight is cut off, and the temperature plummets. But I saw that there was a vast white expanse in front of me, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow, and the earth, mountains and rivers, all of which were covered with snow.
Although the name is the sea, it is actually a world of glaciers and snow ridges.
The aura of this place is like that of a million mountains, and it is also mixed with yin and yang, and it is chaotic. However, in comparison, the proportion of yin qi in the aura here is larger. The breath is clammy and cold, and the smell can keep the mind extremely awake.
The group flew in the raging cold wind. Xiao Yi suddenly asked: "The south belongs to fire, and the fire is hot, this place should be unusually hot, why is it a glacier?"
In the past few days, for some reason, the corpse warehouse took the initiative to teach him some theories of the five elements of yin and yang. From the rotation of yin and yang, to the birth of shun and the reversal, from gold, wood, water, fire and earth, to the operation of heaven and earth. The changes of all things in the world are all included in the five elements, and its mystery is all-encompassing and profound. Xiao Yi seemed to re-understand the world, listened very carefully, and after entering the ice brake sea, he was puzzled, so he asked this question.
The miscellaneous family has always known everything, but on this issue, he hesitated a little and said: "According to the five elements, this place should be a warm place, full of vitality, which is indeed good. However, the theory of the five elements is only limited to the land of Kyushu, and the two wildernesses and two seas are both uncivilized lands, and they cannot be deduced from the five elements. ”
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Since the theory of the five elements is applicable to Kyushu and is in the same world, why can't it be used here." The five elements are mutually reinforcing. The main fire in the south, but what is after the fire? Yin and yang rotate, the extremes of things must be opposed, I think that when the fire is extreme, there must be water. Water overcomes fire, and heaven and earth can be balanced. ”
The corpse warehouse chuckled in his heart. Secretly said: "This son is so perceptive. "He often studies the theory of the five elements, and he has long had doubts about the Ice Sea. As for Xiao Yi's guess, he naturally figured it out, but that was just a few years after he had succeeded in arguing the law.
And Xiao Yi was able to reach such a point after only five days of study, which is really impressive. Corpse Cang said: "Yin and yang are water and fire." Water and fire are mutually reinforcing, evolving the five elements and eight trigrams, and even all things. You say so. It also makes sense. But what is it after the Ice Brake Sea? The sky is round, the sky is infinite, and the earth is limited, and the Ice Brake Sea is already the southern end of the earth, and it is impossible for there to be any more yang fire. I have been enlightened for many years, but I have not made any progress. It can only be said that the five elements of yin and yang do not apply to the two wildernesses and two seas. ”
Xiao Yi thought about it according to the thinking of yin and yang rotation. But I feel that the world extends infinitely and is boundless. There is no end, and the mind that thinks can't be put down, and when it is about to explode, he suddenly says: "Maybe the two desolations and two seas are just an appearance, and they are the boundaries that extend in order to maintain the balance of Kyushu." Perhaps, 10,000 years ago. It is because Kyushu can no longer maintain balance, which is why the world has changed, and then two wildernesses and two seas have been created. ”
The corpse warehouse was even more shocked, and said secretly: "Why didn't I come up with this verse?"
Xiao Yi took care of himself. continued: "If you say so, although the two desolations and two seas have temporarily made the Kyushu Continent safe and sound, after thousands of years, the yin and yang will clash and disappear, and it will inevitably be unbalanced again, leading to a new catastrophe of heaven and earth. ”
The rest of the people listened to Xiao Yi's terrible words, and one of them sneered: "I just learned a little fur, and I dare to say it." It's really a frog at the bottom of the well, and I don't know how thick the sky is. Another person teased: "Then, according to you, what form should heaven and earth take in order to be eternal?"
Xiao Yi couldn't hear the sarcasm in his words, but he didn't care at all, and still meditated along his train of thought. If he didn't have this spirit of breaking through the casserole and asking questions to the end, how could he have made such rapid progress in cultivating the Dao. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said: "Only when the five elements of yin and yang are not rotated endlessly, can heaven and earth be eternal and constant." ”
Everyone laughed and said, "It's just nonsense." The corpse warehouse asked, "How can the five elements of yin and yang be rotated endlessly?"
Xiao Yi reached out and grabbed a fist-sized piece of snow from the ground. Everyone flew in the air, a hundred feet away from the ground, and when they saw him swing easily, the snow would fly in their hands, which was extremely light, as if they were taking me from the air. Everyone thought that they couldn't do this, and their hearts were shocked and quiet.
Xiao Yi didn't care about other people's thoughts, pointed to the snow and said: "The sky is above, the earth is below, just like this snow block." The five elements always restrain each other and do not exist alone. As far as the south is concerned, the pole of fire will give birth to water, and the pole of water will regenerate fire. There is no end to fire and water, and the earth is endless. ”
But seeing Xiao Yi's gesture with both hands, the snow cube then turned into a wide and thin lump, and continued: "However, it is just and easy to break, the earth stretches like this, it is so large and boundless, and it is even more difficult to maintain the balance of yin and yang, and sooner or later it will be overwhelmed, and there will be an irreparable disaster. If so, heaven and earth will cease to exist. ”
Everyone in the miscellaneous family practiced the way of the five elements of yin and yang, and when they heard what he said, there seemed to be some truth, so no one refuted it, and listened quietly.
Xiao Yi suddenly shook his hands, condensed the snow into a ball, and said: "Therefore, if you want the balance of heaven and earth, only there is yang in yin, yin in yang, fire is water, water is fire, south is north, and north is south." The cycle of the five elements is endless. He said as he fiddled with the snowball to make it easier for everyone to understand. But after saying this, everyone was dumbfounded and dazed, and no one could understand. Only the corpse warehouse fell into deep thought, as if there was an understanding.
After a moment, a person smiled and said: "The earth is carried by the turtle, that is, no matter how big and heavy the earth is, the turtle will also move, so you don't need to worry about it." ”
Xiao Yi suddenly said: "If the earth is really carried by a divine tortoise, then where is the (lower) netherworld?"
The man was stagnant and could not speak. Although you have never been to the Netherworld, everyone knows that the Netherworld is below the earth. As for the form of the (below) netherworld, no one can say clearly.
Xiao Yi still had many questions, but no one paid attention to him anymore, and just hurried away with his head covered. He smiled in vain and could only think alone.
He contemplated the theory of the five elements of yin and yang all day long, and his spirit was full, but he omitted the feelings of being captured. For him, this trip to be able to understand the principle of the five elements is already in vain. Confucianism has a saying: "If you hear the Tao, you can die at night." That's exactly what it means.
Two days later, we walked out of the ice brake sea and entered the boundary of Jingzhou, which is warm all year round.
However, seeing that the rivers in Jingzhou are staggered, the lakes are dense, the land is moist and fertile, the fertile land is ten thousand hectares, and the show houses are in line, which shows that the people of Fufu are abundant.
In the past, Xiao Yi only thought that Yongzhou was already very rich, but compared with this place, he felt that it was quite inferior, and said: "Life is really different, and the people born here are born with abundant resources and a lot less suffering." But when he looked closer, he was shocked to see that the rice had fallen and the houses were in ruins, as if they had been looted.
The miscellaneous people also noticed the abnormality, and all of them looked ugly, and they unconsciously sped up. (To be continued.) )
