Chapter Ninety-Six: Antecedents and Consequences
But at this time, Qiu Qian didn't answer and asked, "How did the Taoist know that the heavens and men came into the world below, and how did he know that he should know the Taoist in the next?"
Gongsun Sheng was sitting there covering his mouth and coughing, listening to Qiu Qiao's question, he glanced at him strangely, and said, "Heaven and man came to the world? Xiaoyou...... Ahem...... It's so cheeky, do you really believe it?"
Qiu Qian looked confused when he heard this, what does this old Taoist mean? What do you really believe? What the hell?
Seeing this, Gongsun Sheng smiled and continued to explain, "That so-called hexagram actually just means that there is still a glimmer of life, as for 'the other world is my world, this world is not this world, and its immortals and evils. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The infinite is the ultimate in info. This sentence was said by Xu Ziping before his death, not an explanation of the hexagram. ā
According to the old understanding, the meaning of this sentence is actually that the world changes, no matter whether there is martial arts or not, no matter how the world changes, it is the world of you and me, people, and they are not immortals, but just mortals. ā
So he is actually persuading us not to be too persistent, not to say anything about the birth of heaven and man...... Although Xuzhuzi's martial arts are very high, his knowledge is too poor, and he mistakenly thinks that the glimmer of life in this heavenly way should be in this heavenly being. ā
And Xiaoyou actually admitted it on the spot, which was also unexpected by the old way. ā
Qiu Qiang was dumbfounded when he heard it, his face was red, and his ears were red, this Nima is a false bamboo......
I only heard Gongsun Sheng say again, "But speaking of which, Xiaoyou is indeed knowledgeable and whimsy, which makes Lao Dao admire." ā
Although Gongsun Sheng's words are not true, he actually has no malice towards Qiu Poor.
He was originally a cultivator and knew how to change the way of spells, but this kind of spell was completely different from those in Qiu Qiao's imagination, most of them were similar to the ancient alchemists' blinding methods that relied on various chemical props to cast, or the use of natural phenomena.
It's not the kind of magic that is used, or fireballs, wind blades flying around, but "Zhou Yi", "Hetu", "Luoshu", "Qimen Dunjia", "Fuxi Gossip" These books, he has learned from his master and has studied it to a certain extent, so fortune telling and divination are still quite accurate.
After Song Jiang pacified Huaixi, the class returned to the dynasty and was stationed at Chenqiaoyi outside Tokyo. Gongsun Sheng remembered the hexagram of his master Luo Zhenren's 'return after encountering Bian', so he resigned to Song Jiang and returned to Erxian Mountain in Jizhou. Learn from the teacher, serve the old mother, and live all year round.
However, this so-called monasticism does not prolong life, but is prone to early death because of years of exposure to toxic chemicals.
So Gongsun Sheng later gave up the way of cultivation, and began to concentrate on cultivating martial arts, although he was not taught, but he was also a generation of geniuses, martial arts entered the realm at a rapid pace, and reached the peak of the day after tomorrow in just over ten years, but also encountered a bottleneck, no matter what method he used, how to cultivate, it was stagnant, unable to break through the innate nature, and a few years later, there was still no gain.
So Gongsun Sheng no longer retreated and cultivated, but went out to travel the world, and later improved his mental cultivation, and finally broke through the innate nature, but with the growth of his martial arts level, he gradually discovered the problem of the decline of martial arts.
He is also a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, and has the world in mind, otherwise he would not have followed Song Jiang and them at that time, and would not have said anything about 'doing the right thing for heaven', so he immediately united several friends to invite colleagues from the rivers and lakes, as well as many respected seniors, to discuss this matter together.
However, there were very few responders, and those so-called seniors did not believe Gongsun Sheng at all, thinking that he was just alarmist, sensationalism and favor.
He also scoffed at his opinions and plans, and the party broke up unhappily. On the contrary, some strange people and people of insight gradually gathered together to form the initial framework of the Righteous Alliance.
At this time, Qiu Qian was also embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and tell Gongsun Sheng what he said to Xuzhuzi. By the way, I also took out the intoxicating research results 'internal force battery' and explained it.
Gongsun Sheng couldn't stop nodding, but he didn't express any opinions, just listened to Qiu Qiang's words silently, squinting his eyes, Qiu Qiang couldn't see what he thought.
In fact, if you want to say that in order to survive the martial arts, in fact, the thirteen covenants of the Righteous Alliance are already very perfect, and if they can be implemented all the time, then it is not impossible for the martial arts to last forever.
However, this righteous covenant relies on the strong strength and deterrence of the righteous alliance to force and threaten the people in the martial arts to abide by it, and it is similar to the existence of national law, which relies on violence and institutions to enforce it.
Although the Yimeng worked hard to make good friends with elites from all walks of life and make friends, because of the suppression of the imperial courts of various countries, with the passage of time, the sense of existence of the Yimeng has almost disappeared, from a bright organization for the future of martial arts, to an underground party-like existence.
Therefore, once the righteous alliance declines, these thirteen righteous covenants will immediately exist in name only, as if Wang Anshi's change, or when everyone praises it, but people die and disappear, and in the end, nothing is left except for the records in the history books.
However, Gongsun Sheng has always said that the will of heaven cannot be violated, and there is a reason.
When the Yimeng was finally suppressed by the imperial courts of various countries, several of them with outstanding talents also began to concentrate on martial arts, and successively reached innate, and then they could vaguely perceive various fluctuations in nature, such as the fluctuations of the ownerless innate true qi.
But they gradually discovered the so-called providence...... Not only is the martial arts weakening year by year, but even the innate true qi in nature is the same, the fluctuation of the innate true qi is weakening year by year, and it is not as good as a year after year.
If this continues, even if the Righteous Alliance exists forever, and the Righteous Covenant exists forever, the Innate True Qi will one day completely disappear, and the Innate Realm will become a chasm that will never be touched.
Therefore, in recent years, there have been very few people in the martial arts who can reach the innate realm, and compared with the past hundred years, it has almost decreased by ten times.
It's not that the innate true qi in nature has decreased tenfold, but because there were many in the past, it was easy to perceive and break through, but now the density and concentration are much worse than before, so it is naturally not easy to perceive, and if you can't perceive it, you can't naturally break through.
The congenital powerhouses knew this situation, and they couldn't help but be disheartened, and they had no heart for saving Wulin, and the Yimeng naturally gradually neglected management, and the cohesion was not as good as before, in order to solve this situation, there was the divination of Gongsun Sheng and Xu Ziping.
Qiu Qiang asked at this time, "I wonder if the chief can explain to Zai Xia what divination is, why did the predecessors suffer heavy damage after divination? Is it a curse?"
Because Qiu Poor does not believe that there is any heavenly punishment or punishment in the world, the whole world in the eyes of the ancients is just the earth in Qiu Poor's eyes, does the earth have its own consciousness? Obviously, no.
Everything is just natural self-regulation, so the so-called providence is pure nonsense, there is no heaven in the sky, there are immortals, and the earth has no self-consciousness, where does the providence come from?
It's like the water vapor is steaming when it's hot, and when it reaches high altitude, it condenses, so there is rain, but it's not the dragon king sprinkling water, let alone the will of heaven.
In this case, Gongsun Sheng and others claimed to be divination because they were against the sky, so they angered the heavens, and they died and were seriously injured, and Qiu Qiang naturally had a skeptical attitude.
However, looking at Gongsun Sheng's appearance at this time, it is indeed a bit of a short-term meaning, not like pretending.
I only listened to Gongsun Sheng explain, "The so-called divination is actually a method of inferring the good fortune and evil fortune in the future and analyzing the problem by using means and signs such as turtle shells, copper coins, bamboo sticks, cards or astrology based on many small clues and things." ā
"With this method, where can I get any celestial beings to descend into the world? However, although Xiaoyou is not an immortal, he is indeed extraordinary and thoughtful, not to mention that you have already discovered the decline of martial arts by yourself, so Lao Dao feels that maybe this martial arts will last forever, maybe it will really fall on Xiaoyou's shoulders. ā
"As for Lao Dao's injury, I won't tell you anything, it's not a curse. ā
This divination is inherently illusory, but Xu Ziping knows that there is a method that can significantly increase the success rate of divination, and this method requires internal force to travel in the head and stimulate specific parts, so it is extremely harmful. ā
"Although Lao Dao has reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man, he is also seriously injured, and Xu Ziping is already mediocre in martial arts, and his health is not very good, so he naturally can't bear it. ā
Qiu Qiang frowned when he heard this, if according to what Gongsun Sheng said, this divination seems to be really possible, as if writing a program in the computer, and then entering all kinds of data, the computer can automatically calculate the subsequent results, similar to weather forecasting.
You must know that most of the things in the world involve people's hearts, involving too many variables, and computers can't calculate them at all, and only the human brain can have a rough judgment, which is the so-called overall situation.
As for divination of the fate of the world's martial arts, it is basically a matter of relying on Meng, and it also increases the success rate, Qiu Qian couldn't help but pout.
Although Gongsun Sheng doesn't understand why the success rate can be increased by swimming the head through internal force, this is indeed a fact.
Qiu Qian also gradually understood until he reached the peak of his congenital nature.
At this time, Qiu Qian vaguely understood why this old way had been unhurried, and it was the old man Xuzhuzi who pinned all his hopes on him who was really anxious, not Gongsun Sheng.
Although Gongsun Sheng also said that he was looking forward to Qiu Poor, he was just polite, but in fact, he didn't take Qiu Poor seriously at all, just for show, and didn't want Xu Zhuzi and others to lose their faith.
Qiu Qiang couldn't help but feel a little angry when he thought of this, this old man looked down on him.
Although Zhou Botong and Xuzhuzi have given Qiu Poor a lot of shocks recently, which has impressed him, they are just ancients after all, but even if Qiu Poor agrees with their opinions, as a traverser, Qiu Poor always has a sense of arrogance in his heart.
I couldn't help but say in my heart, hum, you look down on me, I still look down on you.
At this time, Qiu Qian stroked his white hair and said, "Don't bother the two masters, since you have already told the Taoist chief in the next place, whether the Taoist chief listens or not, and you can't force it in the next, and there are still some trivial matters in the next, so don't bother much." Then he got up and left.
Gongsun Sheng was stunned, this kid has such a big temper, he just had a slight snubbing, he immediately exploded, he was really speechless.
However, he obviously won't let Qiu Qiang leave, his figure flashed, and he had already stopped Qiu Poor, and said lightly, "Xiaoyou, don't misunderstand, Xiaoyou is young, his martial arts are already so strong, and his knowledge is already so high, Lao Dao is extremely admired." ā
"Although the old way is running out of time, there is still no feasible way, and this martial arts matter will be handed over to you young people in the end. ā
Speaking of this, seeing that Qiu Qiang always had a straight face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't know if Xiaoyou is interested in the position of the leader of the Yimeng?" (To be continued.) )
