History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 237 Human Race·Zhisheng Ancestor

Guo Shi's father left, but Feng Yun had entered the Palace of Classics, and was talking and laughing with an old man in front of the palace.

"Mr. Lao Dan, long time no see."

"Haha, Fengzi, we said goodbye in Zeng Guoqiu, but it has been almost two years."

Autumn farewell...

Feng Yun said in a daze: "Yes, I stayed in Chu State for two years and witnessed many things, and I also have more feelings about Tao."

"Sentimental?" Lao Dan stroked his beard and was happy.

"Let's talk about Tao. I and Ji Ran have traveled many places, and they also have some feelings about Tao."

Feng Yun nodded, unaware of Zhou Zhi's hard work along the way, and walked into a pavilion outside the hall with Lao Dan.

"In a trance, I felt like I was under the pavilion of Zeng Guo." Lao Dan bowed in greeting.

Feng Yun returned the greeting and sat down.

Only then did Lao Dan sit down.

"It's better to discuss the truth than to discuss idle matters."

After Feng Yun said this, Lao Dan was happy, but he also said with a smile: "In life, let nature take its course, and the way will show itself. People's idleness is the way of people."

The two nodded.

Feng Yun asked first: "I just heard about the plan, but I didn't know what the plan was going to do?"

Lao Dan stroked his beard and smiled.

"What Ji Ranyue does in the mountains is the way to do it, and it is self-virtue. I want to do things that follow the trend and make a living, which is self-kindness."

Feng Yun nodded. Ji Ran seemed to have put aside the worries of Yang Yue and the Song Dynasty, and was already looking for the way to the mountains and rivers in his heart.

In other words, it is extending Lao Tzu's way and opening up his own way.

Feng Yun and Lao Tzu were both near-sages. The virtues and mysteries created by them are all new ideas. Naturally, there are many gaps in their propositions. It cannot be concluded by just one person. Those who can achieve enlightenment through this will naturally have more opportunities.

Just like "Zhou Li", the heaven of Zhou Li has given birth to many great talents. Especially when "Zhou Li" was first completed, Bi Gong and Zhao Gong all took advantage of the etiquette to extend their own etiquette. Achieve the status of saint.

After that, there were countless innate and semi-sage powerful persons in the rituals.

"Fengzi, why did this trip work?" I asked.

Feng Yun smiled lightly and said softly: "I came all the way to find Mr. Lao Dan. Yun has no place to stay in this prosperous Zhou Dynasty. I hope I can take him in."

"Oh, haha, if Fengzi enters the Zhou Dynasty, he will have no place to live."

At this time, the chamberlain came forward.

"Fengzi, your side hall has been tidied up and is located next to Mr. Lao Dan."

"Father Guo Shi has said that the emperor has ordered that you can read all the classics in this palace."

The chamberlain waved, and five chamberlains came to the front holding five thin volumes of copper books. They saw only the titles of the books.

"The emperor is still in the secret palace and has selected several books of saints for you. You can choose one and read it."

This seems like a redundant move, but it is testing Feng Yun's intention to do this.

"Zhou Li", "Zhou Yi", "Daya", "Ritual" and "Tai Gong".

There are five books in total, all of which are complete books of saints.

King Wen was the inner sage and the outer king, and below him, there were the four sages of Zhou.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about King Wen's "Book of Changes". Feng Yun had many opportunities. At this time, I am afraid that only this week has the full text. Feng Yun could not get it all even if he traveled to many places without visiting Zhou Dynasty.

And among the Four Saints——

The Taigong hoped to use the "Tai Gong" to express the Taoism in the Golden Chamber, command the troops and practice the law, devise secret tactics, create martial arts, and be called the Martial Saint.

Zhou Gongdan used "Zhou Rites" to stipulate the Zhou officials, the princes respected the king, jointly promoted the emperor, created the rituals, and called Yuan Sage.

Zhao Gongxi used "Daya" to educate thoughts, correct people's hearts, protect the emperor, and also promote etiquette and music, and he was called Zhao Sheng.

Bi Gonggao used "Ritual" to standardize the system, restrain the chaos, class divisions, integrate etiquette, and extend the etiquette system. He is called Bi Gong.

Among them, Taigong Wang and Zhou Gongdan are both the most holy ones, while Zhao Gongxi and Bi Gonggao are the less holy ones.

Zhao Gong and Bi Gong, with the help of the Great Zhou Dynasty, are no less powerful than the Holy Spirit. How powerful they are.

This is also the reason why the Four Saints of the Zhou Dynasty have protected the four saints for hundreds of years.

These five holy ways are also the ultimate of the three ways of Yi, Wu, and Li in the world, and are the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the word "Xianxue" inherited by a country created by Feng Yun is used, it can also be called the Xianxue of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now Feng Yun can choose one of them.

Lao Dan on the side also admired.

"The emperor is generous. In the palace of classics, I can only read scattered words, but not the core point."

Smiling and shaking his head, Lao Dan said this without any dissatisfaction or greed. He seemed to be satisfied with what he got and let nature take its course. He did not pursue excessive pursuits to avoid troubles.

This choice was given to Feng Yun.

Feng Yun also knew what Lao Dan said. Both of them were close to saints. They had figured out their own holy way and could enter it in one step.

But now these five books of the holy way are very different from their way. Don't lose sight of the foundation of your heart because of greed.

Feng Yun nodded slightly to Lao Dan.

Then he looked at the five books.

Although the emperor is confused, he also has the so-called wisdom.

These five books are too confusing for Feng Yun, a humane person, and they may be assimilated by the way of heaven without realizing it.

Just like the "Thirty-Six Hexagrams of Da Ting" given to Feng Yun by Da Ting Dazai when he was in Da Ting, it is assimilated to future generations.

Perhaps Feng Yun, who had just come to this world and lost the mystery in her womb, would be assimilated if she got these books.

But after experiencing many countries in the world, he already had the Tao in his heart - human beings.

"If you have someone in your heart, you will naturally not lose yourself. Even if you are stuck in a fog, you can still choose the path of no regrets."

Feng Yun waved his hand, and the mysterious energy turned into a gentle wind, but he held up a copper book in the hands of the servants - "The Book of Changes".

"When Yun was a beginner in Da Ting, he got half a copy of "Zhou Rites" and a few hexagrams of "Zhou Yi".

"At that time, I chose "The Book of Changes" as my reading material. Even though I later obtained "Six Taoists·Long Tao", I never changed it."

"Now when I come to Dazhou, Yun is in a trance and is a beginner. When he is young..."

Feng Yun's eyes flashed with nostalgia.

The chamberlain Mo Ming saw that Feng Yun was not a serious person, so he boldly asked: "Why does Fengzi value the Book of Changes and despise the Rites of Zhou and Taigong?"

Feng Yun looked at the two characters "Zhou Yi" on the bronze book. This should be the original "Book of Changes" inscribed on it. There is also Taoist rhyme flowing on it. It seems that with this bronze book, the words of "Zhou Rites" can be read.

Feng Yun lowered his eyes and looked at the waiter.

An ordinary person, with only a little bit of literary talent, has never been different from others.

This copper book is precious, I am afraid it is not as simple as seen.

And I saw it too.

Feng Yun looked at him and sighed helplessly.

Could it be that there was no one in Zhou Dynasty who could see through the essence and take out such a precious copper book so calmly? Or was it that he was arrogant and didn't think anyone could take it away?

Regardless of these, Feng Yun responded to what Fang Cai said.

"The reason why Yun placed more emphasis on the "Book of Changes" than on the "Zhou Rites" was because he didn't like the comments in the "Zhou Rites" and believed that they were full of disadvantages for the human race."

The waiter was shocked, how could Feng Yun say this.

But Feng Yun said again.

"However, I am not taking it lightly at this time... I can no longer count the naive thoughts I had when I was young. In my eyes now, I also know the great wisdom of "Zhou Rites". It is not a shortcoming of the human race, but a thing of great benefit and great virtue. "

Looking to the sky, it is filled with etiquette and luck, protecting the Great Zhou Dynasty, stabilizing this world, and eliminating many human conflicts.

Feng Yun said softly: "There is black and white in the world, but it is not just black and white. These colors are what people see, feel, and exist in the heaven and earth. They are gorgeous and long-lasting. The sun and the moon alternate in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the battles are endless. .”

"Yun accepted the Book of Changes because he didn't want to read the Rites of Zhou. It's just that the Rites of Zhou are the way of the Zhou officials, the way of the princes, and the way of the emperor. Yun is not included in this."

""Daya" is the way for the world to seek propriety, enlightenment through ritual and music, and seek the virtue of the heart. But now that I have heard my own voice, I don't need to look any further."

"As long as you don't violate the "Ritual" sins and abide by the rules of each place, you'll be fine, so there's no need to worry too much."

"And "Tai Gong"... martial arts, when Yun was in the court, he was weak, so he also practiced martial arts. He used a sword to anger and kill without virtue, but later he discovered that it was personal bravery, not real martial arts. ""The real martial arts is "Tai Gong", which takes civil and military as the way, unites the troops as the method, and plans as the technique... However, Yun knows that war, victory or defeat, are all suffering for the human race, so he seldom studies this deeply. road."

In Feng Yun's hand, the copper book with two characters of Zhouyi engraved on it flew slowly, with bursts of red light on it.

A sound of wind roared, and as the literary spirit rose, it spread to the entire Fenghao land.

No matter whether it is the emperor in the palace, the scholar-officials, or the people in the streets and fields, everyone can hear it in surprise.

But at this time, Feng Yun's eyes entered the Taoist sky, and his consciousness broke through the first and second levels and came to a place of simple chaos.

"There is Chao Ancestor and Suiren Ancestor."

At the third level of Dao Tian, ​​there are nests and Suiren waiting here.

Between the two of them, there was a strong woman who looked vaguely like a warrior, but her body was mostly made of clothes sewn with soft fur. She had a kind face and looked at people kindly, which reminded Feng Yun of Baiyue. witch.

The three of them saluted, and Feng Yun waited patiently.

The woman smiled.

"Well, you told me about your experiences in Baiyue and Chu, Youchao and Suiren."

He looked at Feng Yun kindly, but there was a sharp look in his eyes.

This made Feng Yun think of Nuwa again. He had seen Nuwa's honor when he was performing divination in Yao, and he had also seen Nuwa Fuxi's rules and regulations.

"Well... Nuwa is the queen of Laosi." The woman nodded, appreciating Feng Yun's wisdom.

"As a Zhi Sheng clan, I once taught the human race how to make clothes, ornaments, carvings, spears, bows and arrows, dig wells... and became famous for knowing the survival of the people and passing it on to the human race."

Hearing this, Yunli said: "Afterwards, the ancestors will be born after seeing them with courtesy."

Feng Yun, the ancestor of the human race, respects everything.

There is a nest for the human race to live in, to gather people as a clan, and to provide shelter.

The Sui people light the fire for the human race, and the fire is passed down from generation to generation, which is the civilization.

Zhisheng makes a living for the human race, creates production, and survives.

These things that may seem basic, simple, and taken for granted to future generations were so dazzling in their time, opening up a vast world and future for the human race.

Virtue is the ancestor of mankind.

Here to guard the third level of the human race's Dao and Heaven.

Be convincing!

"Well, your heart is sincere." Zhishengzu likes Feng Yun not only because of his handsome appearance and politeness, but also because of Feng Yun's actions. Although there are shortcomings, the Duoli people are even better in the world. At this time, Xuan Dao was brought to the human race and explained the relationship between heaven, earth and man.

Let humanity be spread to the world.

At this time, even if Feng Yun dies, as far as humanity is concerned, he can become a saint after death and return to the Taoist Heaven.

This is also the reason why Feng Yun was able to become a near saint in one fell swoop.

The words of humanity are still fermenting, which will bring an incomparably broad ideological path to future generations, and it is also a kind of opening up.

"I also know that Dao Tian has already reached dozens of levels for you, but the human race is the one who should make things difficult for you, and I will not show mercy."

"This time, since you have come to Dazhou Fenghao, I have a question that you need to think about carefully."

The Third Ancestor came from before eternity, so he was naturally able to explore the traces of time in the vast ocean of human race.

At this time, they all had some guesses about what would happen next.

But they didn't know that Feng Yun was a descendant, and they knew more about the follow-up of the Great Zhou Dynasty than they did.

"On...the selfishness of the human heart, how can the human race understand it?"

The selfishness of the human heart?

His eyes dimmed, but he left Daotian in a daze and returned to the Palace of Classics.

The bronze book of "Book of Changes" suspended in the sky seemed to be igniting flames. Feng Yun waved his hand, and the bronze book stabilized and fell slowly.

On it, around the word "Book of Changes", there is a mysterious wind bird, fiery red and bright, mysterious and solemn.

The chamberlain was stunned, the sound of phoenix chirping just now was really scary, and his look of shock could not be suppressed.

Want to ask.

Feng Yun said bluntly: "I ask the emperor not to take these copper books lightly."

The chamberlain woke up with a start.

"this…"

Just listen, a person rushing towards you shouts.

"Except for the bronze book chosen by Fengzi, the rest should be returned to the Emperor's Pavilion as soon as possible!"

This man faced him with a sword and swept past the few chamberlains holding copper books. The chamberlains' backs felt cold and they were trembling.

When he looked at Feng Yun, he saw that Feng Yun had chosen "Book of Changes" and was silent and did not dare to say anything.

He just cupped his hands and said, "The emperor's guards are here to take back the bronze book. Don't be angry Fengzi."

Feng Yun had nothing to be angry about. The emperor was concerned about his face, but he did not take away the "Book of Changes" in his hand.

The chamberlain faced the emperor's guard and left in a hurry.

For a time, the only people left in the Classical Palace were some people from the Classical Palace who did not dare to approach, and Lao Dan, the guardian of the Classical Palace of Zhou Dynasty.

"Mr. Lao Dan, please also read the "Book of Changes" with Yun, and confirm each other's opinions so that you can detect the hidden things."

I am not one to push the envelope, so I nodded and smiled.

"This time I got Fengzi's convenience."

Opportunities, in the eyes of saints, have no boundaries. They are all virtues of the human race, as long as they do not harm the owner of this opportunity.

Staying on one's own laurels, hiding things for personal enjoyment, collecting dust in treasures, and losing holy virtues are all sins of the human race.

Feng Yun wanted to summarize, collect, and pass down all the ancient books that could be found in this life in one place so that future generations would not miss these sacred things. Naturally, they would not keep them for themselves at this time.

After all, when Lao Tzu and Feng Yun discussed Tao in the state of Zeng, they left behind a book called "Morality and Tao".

It's just that Feng Yun had his own way, and he had already discussed it with Laozi, and he knew the appearance of morality, so he never read his books.

After many years, when Feng Yun first came, he was sixteen or nearly seven. He went in and out of the court with Yu Yue, reached the peak of his own country in Baiyue, went to Fengze countries, entered Jingchu, and became a near saint with Xuan's human way.

After the summer of this year, when I was twenty years old, I already knew——

Humanity cannot become a trend unless it is enjoyed exclusively, and it cannot be passed down and passed down unless it is kept privately.

But human nature is selfish, and it is not easy to overcome selfishness. Feng Yun also has selfishness, and he is unwilling to find a way to eliminate people's selfishness because it goes against human nature.

But the human race is still selfish...

Zhi Shengzu asked - How do human beings understand the selfishness of human hearts?

This is also a problem for Feng Yun Xuandao.

If this question is not solved, the mysterious way will be difficult to achieve, the general trend of humanity will be overthrown again and again, and the dynasties of the human race will be rebuilt again and again, and the foundation will be difficult to build and no breakthrough will be allowed.

"Mr. Lao Dan, how do you explain selfishness?"

Feng Yun asked me.

I smiled.

"How to solve it?"

"Fengzi's question only contains the word selfishness. Does he want to ask what selfishness is, or how to get rid of selfishness, or restrain selfishness?"

Hearing this, Feng Yun shook his head silently.

"Yun has solutions to all of these, but they are not what Yun wants."

I smiled and said nothing.

He is already a near saint, how could he not know about the matters of Dao Tian? Now, he also has a difficult problem, which is not trivial.

……

When Feng Yun and Laozi entered the side hall, they no longer mentioned the matter of Dao Tian. Both of them were confused about their own Dao and were exploring. The conclusions that could be expressed at this moment were less than a few words, so they were insignificant. .

Now we can only read the "Book of Changes" and use the wisdom of our ancestors to explore our own difficulties and seek solutions to them.

Both of them are near saints. This problem will also be the opportunity for him and Lao Tzu to become saints...
