Chapter 431: Great Kyushu
Sure enough, due to the invasion of yin qi, the number of participants of the nine major sects was greatly reduced, and it was obvious that they had sent people to guard their positions.
Among the nine major schools today, except for the Buddhists who preached at the end of the conference, there are only two schools left: Confucianism and Yinyang. Moreover, the preaching only needs one person, and the impact is really not great.
It's just that the atmosphere at the venue is quite depressing, and people don't feel as enthusiastic as the previous two days.
Today's opening sermon is the Yin and Yang family, but seeing that on the high platform of the Yin and Yang family, except for Chu Tianying, there are all other young disciples, and there is no one of the five virtue messengers.
When the time came, one of the disciples of the Yin and Yang family came out, and it was Zou Heng.
"Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the outline of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the clarity of God. Zou Heng was stunned and began to preach.
When he was in Dahelou, Xiao Yi had a good impression of Zou Heng, but he was quite expectant, hoping to hear some yin and yang principles, so as to help his cultivation. However, after listening to it for a while, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I heard that it started with the changes of the four seasons and talked about the way of "respecting the people", which was in line with the people's livelihood and was of little use to cultivation.
However, the way of yin and yang has a lot in common with the Taoist way of nature, and it explains in detail some changes in heaven and earth that ordinary people cannot see, which not only supplements the way of nature, but also further conducts in-depth research and judgment, which is also infinite and in-depth.
As he said: "The change of heaven and earth, the transformation of yin and yang." Unconsciously, Xiao Yi was attracted to it and listened to it with relish.
Listen to his talk of the "four seasons": "In spring, the yang energy begins to rise, so all things are born; in summer, the yang energy is blooming, so all things are long; in autumn, the yang energy begins to fall, so all things are harvested; in winter, the yang energy is finished, so all things are hidden." Therefore, it grows in spring and summer, collects in autumn and winter, and is also in the season of four seasons. It is a phrase that expresses the change of seasons that the world cannot understand.
And supplemented by the refinement of the theory of the five elements, talking about "a certain day of spring, Shengde in the wood", "a certain day of summer, Shengde in the fire" and so on, in combination with personnel, to tell the world when to do what to do, when it is not easy to do something. All the ways are quite exquisite.
After hearing this for a moment, Xiao Yi suddenly felt something, and said: "The way of the Yin and Yang family is actually teaching the world to be in line with nature, which is similar to the way of Taoism. The difference lies in the fact that Taoism emphasizes non-action and conforms to nature with non-action, while the Yin-Yang way is dominant, directly teaching the world what to do and what not to do, when to move and when to stop. On closer examination, the Taoist way is a macroscopic avenue, as if it is too far away from ordinary people and inscrutable, but the way of the Yin-Yang family is practical and easier to be absorbed. It is really a big and a small, complementing each other. ”
Although he comprehended this, when he looked back at the Taoist disciples, he saw that everyone was talking to each other, and no one listened to the sermon seriously, and even showed disdain, quite disagreeing, and couldn't help but shake his head.
When the time was about to run out, Zou Heng suddenly mentioned the word "Great Kyushu" and said: "The Taoist friends present come from all over Kyushu, and they should understand this truth. When we were waiting to live in one place, we found that the sun, moon and stars all revolved around me, and there were many kinds of water, soil, products, birds and beasts, but they were all in one. For us, one state and one county is heaven and earth. However, when we went out of our own land and ran into the distance, we knew that there were mountains beyond the mountains, and in addition to Honshu, there was also the land of Kyushu. It's a vast area, far beyond our imagination. ”
Hearing this, the people looked dazed and did not know where they were going. However, everyone did have such an experience, and they all nodded yes.
Zou Heng continued: "Moreover, water and soil, products, birds and beasts and other things are different. Therefore, beyond the barren sea, there should be a land similar to Kyushu. ”
Then he used the Tao of the Five Elements to prove it: "The transfer of the Five Elements is endless." Extrapolating from the way of the five elements, Kyushu is inevitably not exhaustive, and Kyushu is just a corner of heaven and earth. Therefore, the Yin and Yang family dared to call Kyushu a state of God, which is one of the states of the Great Kyushu. ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, feeling that this theory was very strange and beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition. In the imagination of the world, Kyushu is already huge, representing heaven and earth. If Kyushu were just one of the great Kyushus, how big would that heaven and earth be?
Moreover, there are legends of the round heaven and the earth in the world, and even the cultivators of all factions who have penetrated the heavens and the earth regard the land of Kyushu as the only one. If Kyushu is just one of the great Kyushus, people can't believe it anyway.
I only heard Changjing Zhenren say: "Every time the Yin and Yang family preaches, they always have to talk about the Great Kyushu. However, this claim has never been confirmed. ”
Changqing Taoist said: "The two desolate and two seas are the moats, and many ancestors have tried to cross the barren sea for thousands of years, wanting to see what is behind the barren sea, but they have not succeeded. It's no wonder the world can't believe it. ”
Xiao Yi suddenly asked, "Why can't you cross, is it because the ancestors don't have enough skills?"
At this moment, Xiao Yi thinks completely differently from everyone else. When he first heard the way of the five elements when he was in the Ice Brake Sea, he speculated that the Ice Brake Sea was not the extreme south of Kyushu, and there should be a fire land outside it. At that time, he was ridiculed by the miscellaneous people, and because he couldn't prove it, he had to endure it. Today, when he heard that the Yin and Yang family speculated that it coincided with it, how could he not be excited in his heart.
Changjing Zhenren took over and said: "The two desolations and two seas are uncivilized places, in which the pressure of spiritual energy is very serious, the deeper you go, the heavier the pressure, and it will multiply in the future, which is simply beyond the capacity of human beings. Don't say that there are many special demon beasts in the depths of the barren sea, and they may be buried in the belly of the demon before they reach the end. Even after these two levels, I heard that the end of the barren sea is a chaotic trend, which can make people lose their way, and it is difficult to cross the turbulent land. ”
Xiao Yi was shocked when he heard that the depths of the barren sea were so terrifying.
As he spoke, Zou Heng had already retreated to Taichung in surprise and ended his sermon.
Almost all previous Dao conferences ended with this kind of ending, which was considered a novelty at first, and later became a convention. However, every audience is different, and there is always such a scene of surprise.
People who are familiar with the history of the Dao Conference can only shake their heads and smile bitterly when they see the Yin and Yang family's old tricks repeated.
Xiao Yi's thoughts were all at the end of the barren sea, and he asked again, "Isn't there anyone who can cross through the past?"
Changjing is truly humane: "Legend has it that someone went in, but the result was ......"
Xiao Yi exclaimed: "Could it be that something happened to you?"
Changjing Zhenren shook his head and said: "That chaotic trend is simply the last barrier at the end of the sky, and it is impossible for human beings to pass through. ”
Xiao Yi said, "Then what is beyond this barrier?"
Changjing Zhenren was stunned and speechless.
Since last night, Xiao Yi has been comprehending the way of the five elements of yin and yang, and at this time, he was mentioned by Zou Heng like this, and he was interested in it and wanted to understand it. However, the people present also knew nothing about the vast world, and who could answer.
PS: The theory of the "Great Kyushu" of the Yin-Yang Family was put forward by Zou Yan, the creator of the Yin-Yang Family. This theory is not only a geographical concept, but also a concept of heaven and earth, and has the significance of cosmology. At a time when knowledge was low, it was remarkable to be able to deduce that there was a continent beyond Kyushu. This concept has played a positive role in promoting the development of navigation in later generations.
In addition, Zou Yan also has a matching "Five Virtues Always Said", which will not be repeated here due to plot problems. Moreover, in order to make it easy for more friends to understand, it was changed to a modern tone, and the truth is far less profound than the original. "Great Kyushu Theory" and "Five Virtues Always Say" contain extremely profound truths, and friends who like them can consult the information and study it in depth, which helps to broaden their thinking.
