Chapter 18: Turtle loses Luoshu, Taoist priest Wolong

"Turtle shell?"

"Hey, when you put it like that, it sounds a bit like it!"

Hong Bin started to look at it again.

"But this tortoise shell..."

"What do you mean?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a half-cut pattern on the new piece of tortoise shell and asked:
"Also, what is this?"

"If I guess correctly, this complete picture should be of a legendary turtle named 'Dragon Turtle', also known as Jin Ao, Ba Xia, Bi Xi, etc..."

You Fang thought for a moment and then replied slowly.

"There is a saying in "Sheng'an Waiji": 'It is said that a dragon gave birth to nine sons, and each of them has his or her own merits: one is called a turtle, which is shaped like a turtle and is good at carrying heavy loads. This is what the turtle has under the stone stele today.' What it says is... This is a 'dragon turtle'!"

"As for this half pattern, it's actually very simple. I only saw through this pattern that it should be a tortoise shell."

""Book of Changes·Xi Ci" contains: 'The river produces pictures, Luo produces books, and the sages follow them'... It is said that during the time of Dayu, a magical turtle emerged from the Luo River in Luoning County, Luoyang, and carried the "Luo Book" on its back as a tribute to Dayu. , Dayu succeeded in controlling floods based on this, and the pattern in this painting... is part of the 'Luoshu'!"

Luoshu.

It was called Turtle Book in ancient times.

It is the source of yin and yang and the five elements.

In ancient legends, there is a divine turtle that came out of Luoshui. There is this image on its carapace. The structure is to wear nine shoes on one, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, with five in the middle and white circles in five directions. All are yang numbers, and the black dots in the four corners are yin numbers...

Expressing the profound meaning of heaven and earth, clarifying the context of the universe!
Look at the newly painted tortoise shell in this scroll. There are four black dots connected by lines and pushed half by half. They are the "eight legs" in the lower left corner of Luo Shu!
From this, You Fang finally determined the whole picture, and his mind was suddenly shaken, and his face showed a look of surprise!

It's no wonder...

The Hetu and Luoshu are the source of the Great Dao. Fuxi obtained the Hetu and created the innate Bagua. King Wen of Zhou obtained the Luoshu and performed the acquired Bagua, and later wrote the Book of Changes. People who seek the Tao study it and generate thousands of principles.

Regardless of the Hetu or the Luo Shu, they contain the original laws of the heaven, earth, universe, and all things in nature. They are also the origin of the evolution of the wisdom of Chinese civilization. They are not just various knowledge, principles, and ideas in the process of civilization...

Including the essence of the Dharma and the root path of practice of the major non-human sects today, they all started from this and gradually evolved to this day!

You can hardly imagine...

What would it be like if one day I could travel all over the world, understand the secrets of all laws in the world, and finally be able to complete this picture.

Similarly, this is just the Dragon and Turtle of the Negative Book. If by chance, I can draw the Dragon and Horse of the Negative Picture, what kind of situation will the two be combined into one?
At this moment, You Fang felt as if his mind and body had suddenly left his body, his mind wandering to the sky, constantly imagining such magnificent wonders.

He likes freedom and carefreeness, but he is also a true seeker. His desire for knowledge drives him forward all the time. This is also one of the purposes of his travels!

however……

Just when you are distracted.

suddenly...

Snapped!
A palm lightly tapped his shoulder, causing him to wake up instantly.

"Fellow Taoist, you are upset."

Immediately afterwards, a leisurely sound sounded, like an enlightenment, and like a clear spring blowing by, making You Fang's mind settled.

"!!!"

It wasn't until this moment that Yu Fang finally realized that he had almost gone crazy and was out of body without realizing it.

If Trinity Sect had not followed the path of "Dual Cultivation of Life and Life" and the inner elixir was round and firm, just that one blow would have been enough to damage the foundation of "nature"!
"call……"

"It's really dangerous. The attractiveness of Heluo is really too great!" You Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and then fear arose.

The situation just now reminded him of those Taoist priests in the back mountains of Wudang. They were trapped in the inner scene because they had a glimpse of the magic of Fenghou Qimen, and they could not extricate themselves throughout their lives.

It’s not because of insufficient mental cultivation...

But "thinking" too much!
Success is also a desire, failure is a desire, why not!
"This...fellow Taoist, thank you very much!"

With this thought, You Fang finally regained his composure, and then turned to look at the source of the sound and thanked him at the same time.

He saw a young Taoist priest in a Taoist robe standing beside him, his arms folded and hidden in the wide sleeves of his robe, his eyebrows arched and a gentle smile revealed.

"Haha, you're welcome. It's just a little effort."

The Taoist priest spoke softly, and his fair face seemed to reflect sunlight, and his skin exuded a gleaming feeling. This was obviously a sign of having polished his life to a certain extent.

There is no doubt that this person should be from the Quanzhen Longmen Sect. It is normal to practice in the back mountain and entertain guests in the front mountain.

only……

This Taoist priest's cultivation seems to be far beyond that of ordinary Quanzhen disciples. His appearance is like a spring breeze, blowing gently, leaving no one aware of it!
"When did this guy...appear?!"

By this time, Hong Bin and Tang Yingjie had already reacted, and then looked at the Taoist priest with surprise on their faces.

They were all standing here just now, but no one noticed the arrival of the Taoist priest. Hong Bin was okay, he was a fool, but the people of the Tang Sect were always vigilant, and even Tang Yingjie was not aware of it, which is enough to show his strength. Got it!
"Fellow Taoist, are you from Qingyang Palace?" After looking at it for a moment, You Fang saluted and then asked.

"Yes, it's my turn to patrol the front mountain today. I saw that you were possessed by a demon and I took action without permission. I hope my Taoist friends won't be surprised." The Taoist priest nodded lightly.

"How could it be strange? If fellow Taoist hadn't taken action, I would have suffered some soul injuries and inner elixir damage as I just said. It would not take a short while to recover..."

You Fang shook his head quickly and saluted again.

"Downstream, there are descendants of the Trinity Sect. These two are Hong Bin from the Huode Sect and Tang Yingjie from the Tang Sect. They came to Qingyang Palace specifically to visit and want to see the largest jungle in the southwest. !”

"Haha, it's easy to talk. My name is Fu Chen. You can just call me by my name. Since the three of you are here to visit my Qingyang Palace, and I also want to go back to the mountain, let me lead the way for you."

The Taoist priest smiled slightly and nodded, then raised his hand:
"Please."

"Thank you!"

The three of them returned the greetings one after another, and then followed Taoist Fuchen through the bustling palace courtyard and onto the mountain road up the mountain.

On the way up the mountain, You Fang had been observing Taoist Fuchen, his eyes constantly sizing up...

This person's age seems to be similar to the three of them, but his life cultivation level is really high. He should be a guy with extraordinary talents.

at the same time……

During the process of going up the mountain, during casual conversations, he also learned the specific two characters of Fu Chen's name, and couldn't help but think:

"Fu surname..."

"It's really rare!"

But when he thought about it carefully, his eyes widened. If this "volt" is synonymous with "lying", and then this "chen" is corresponding to the position of the twelve earthly branches and the zodiac as "dragon"...

Can the name "Fuchen" also be understood as...

"Crouching dragon..."

"What a nice name!"
