Chapter 103: The support tree produces ten crows, surveying the sky and calibrating Qi (Part 2)
Falling in love with you, Henghua
Zhou Xiao came out of seclusion with great joy.
Dragons roared and tigers roared, the Yin and Yang Qi lingered throughout the body, and three inches of spiritual light overflowed from the top of the head.
Arriving at the foot of Jiugong Mountain, Fu Xuanxing and Fu Xiangfeng were practicing sword practice.
Seeing Zhou Xiao coming, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Uncle Master, have you chosen a new path? Do you want to form an elixir?"
"I just recalled the past and reaffirmed my path. It's still early to form a pill. This time, I have to plan carefully."
Zhou Xiao chose the "Taoist Sect". Although he did not reach the end, he only took a fifth-grade elixir "Yuanlong Xuanhu Dan" and a "Liangyi Ginseng Shendan Technique". But he washed his mind in the Taoist Sect. Heart, finally set one's ambition.
I want to restore the Heavenly Book for the Xuanwei Sect. I cannot watch my master and the elders go astray. Henghua can create the foundation of the Heavenly Book on his own. I have been practicing for hundreds of years. Am I less knowledgeable than him?
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xiao was not in a hurry to restore the golden elixir realm, but wanted to start from scratch and rethink how to practice Taixuan Taoism.
"By the way, where is that boy Henghua?"
"He is on the top of Zhonggong Mountain. It is said that he is calculating some kind of 'mountain calendar'."
"Shan Li? What does this kind of heresy count for?"
Zhou Xiao's heart moved and he took the two of them to the middle palace.
Seeing the slowly rotating celestial sphere on the map, Zhou Xiao was stunned:
"This guy is really capable. He can produce such unfamiliar and remote things?"
Zhou Xiao took the two of them over and stared at the puppet under the fusang tree.
"Huh? So it turns out that Senior Huofeng is still involved with the Chiyuan Taoist sect?
"Looking at the deviation between the luck level and the mountain calendar, it seems that he is not a disciple of Chiyuan, but a casual cultivator who was influenced by the mountain calendar? No wonder he needed to spend time to readjust after the collapse of the continent."
"Senior, what on earth is Xiao Liu'er doing? Doesn't it look like he's rehearsing the exercises?"
Turning to look at Fu Xiangfeng, Zhou Xiao said, "This is the serious deduction technique."
"The calculable skills don't just require puppets?"
"Nonsense. The reason why true energy can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is precisely because the practice is in harmony with heaven and earth. Every trace of true energy is refined because it breathes in resonance with heaven and earth.
"In the past, you saw this kid only using a puppet to calculate the skills. It's because he memorized the current 'Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Qi Map'. So he only needs to hold the puppet and run it through his mind, and the results will appear. .”
A method based on pure yang methods requires sensing the changes in yang energy between heaven and earth, with the big sun as the benchmark.
A wood-attributed exercise also needs to sense the movement of wood energy between heaven and earth. How many times the wood energy between heaven and earth circulates is converted to the meridians in the body, and how many days it takes to move the energy.
There are details in this.
"The Map of Heaven and Earth..." Fu Xuanxing tried to remember, "it sounds a bit familiar."
"Nonsense, there was one hanging in your room when you were a child. Your master enlightened you back then, but you would fall asleep after watching it for a while. So I just hung it in your room to let you go to bed early, so as not to get up in the middle of the night and set fire to play."
"..."
Is this happening?
"Later, the picture was burned because you set it on fire."
"..."
Look at Fu Xuanxing, and then look at Fu Xiangfeng.
"You guys, you are free now. When you get to the Golden Pill, the Golden Pill can sense all the energy in the world. You don't have to learn it if you don't want to."
After saying that, Zhou Xiao carefully observed the Shenzhou Mountain Calendar Ten Thousand Qi Map.
As Fu Henghua performed the exercises, Zhou Xiao seemed to see the life story of Taoist Huofeng.
"This senior is so miserable."
For ordinary monks, because everyone follows the Taixuan Sect, they follow the sun, moon and stars as the benchmark for the movement of all energy.
Although China collapsed and all the energy was in chaos, they needed to update their knowledge and calculate a new map of the movement of all energy.
But at least the foundation is still there, the stars are still in the sky, it's just that the moon has risen a little higher, and the stars have shifted a little.
Just follow the star chart and readjust it.
But for Taoist Huofeng, the entire worldview collapsed.
His understanding of the nature of heaven and earth relies on mountains and rivers. How the fire energy moves depends on the angle perpendicular to the sun above Nanyue. How the wood energy is deduced depends on the density of flowers and plants surrounding Dongyue and the mountains.
.
To calculate the difference in wood energy, the simplest calculation is based on the difference in blooming time between the flowers at the thousand-foot peak and the flowers at the ground.
But after the Battle of Shuizhou, all the deduction calculations he had learned were completely useless.
Thousand-foot peaks? Flowers on the ground? Do these things still exist now?
It took a full two hundred years for the Fire Phoenix Taoist to step forward and truly establish the Golden Elixir.
Zhou Xiao sighed at Taoist Huofeng and thought of the Chiyuan Taoist sect.
Why did the Chiyuan Taoist sect leave at that time, and why did they leave without leaving any trace behind?
The reason lies in this.
They used mountains and rivers as reference to construct their own understanding of the heaven and earth. Even their Kung Fu books are full of names for famous mountains and rivers.
With the collapse of China, all their Taoist scriptures became waste paper.
The luck flows to Dongyue and travels through Fengshan.
Where is Dongyue? Where is Fengshan?
Looking at the vast ocean of Thirteen Waters, they could only look confused.
Therefore, the Chiyuan Taoist sect all left.
Their departure was a bitter experience for monks like Taoist Huofeng who once tended to the mountain calendar. Taoist Huofeng had to pinch his nose, overthrow his position of the past hundreds of years, and shyly embrace the "all the energy of heaven and earth" in the Thirteen Waters
picture".
Fu Xuanxing and Fu Xiangfeng were stunned for a while when they heard Zhou Xiao's explanation.
"Uncle Master, isn't this just a set of calendars and knowledge of vitality? Is it that important?"
"What do you know, kid? What are you fighting for when it comes to orthodoxy?
"The battle between Taoism and Taoism is not about you practicing yin and yang and me practicing the five elements. I think my Tao is stronger than you, more powerful than you, and my swordsmanship is better than yours and more sophisticated than yours - this kind of conflict is minimal.
"Dao tradition refers to the right of each Dao to explain the world and all things. The unified order comes from Dao. Our sect has controlled the Dao explanation of Donglai Shenzhou since the Tao Sage passed down the law.
"Why the sun moves, why the moon and the Big Dipper stars evolve. How the golden elixir of the Great Dao and how the Qi between heaven and earth are sensed are all explained by my faction, and other colleagues follow suit.
“The opening sermon was about the principles of the movement of heaven and earth.
"Many monks have learned the ideas of the Go Wo sect and calculated and created techniques according to our 'Tai Chi Armillary Sphere'.
"My own calculation of the speed of the movement of all qi is compared with the real movement of heaven and earth. The error cannot exceed one hundred and twentieth of an hour. If it exceeds, it will go crazy and the creation of the technique will fail."
Zhou Xiao kept talking about the secrets of acting. Listening to it, the two of them felt like they were being taught a book from heaven and they couldn't understand it at all.
"Later, the Chiyuan Taoist sect launched a mountain calendar, which used the mountains of the Shenzhou era as a scale to measure the movement of all vitality between heaven and earth. The most obvious point is the five seasons and ten months in the mountain calendar."
Jin Xian'e came over at this time.
She passed three levels in Huoyun Mansion and gained a lot.
"I heard Master mention that they built a hibiscus tree in the center of China."
Looking at the bronze tree in front of Henghua, Jin Xian'e exclaimed: "Yes, that's it. One crow lives on top and nine crows live on the bottom, which refers to the replacement of the five elements and heavenly stems in October of a year. This thing is an important calculation of the solar calendar.
tool.
Her master, like Taoist Huofeng, was transferred from Shanli.
"According to legend, the Chiyuan Taoist sect stipulates that there are more than 360 five days in a year. It is more advanced than the Tai Chi calendar in setting the central axis of heaven and earth and the constant rotation of yin and yang. So..."
Thinking of some unpleasant history, Zhou Xiao said gloomily: "Leave aside the Longxing, Sixuan, Taiyin and other calendars before the Chinese calendar. In the Chinese era alone, our Taixuan Taoist lineage and Chiyuan frequently clashed, arguing about the principles of heaven and earth.
.In the end, the Tai Chi calendar established by Tai Xuan Zong was refuted by the Chiyuan Taoist sect, which for a time made them stand out and almost overturned the foundation of Tai Xuan Taoism."
Glancing at Fu Henghua, Zhou Xiao said: "Later, Fengxian traveled eastward and supplemented the Tai Chi calendar with the Heluo Bagua, completing the Tai Chi calendar's 3360 days in a year to 365 days in a year.
A quarter. I sent my ancestors to see the opportunity, and used the stars and the sky as a yardstick to construct the celestial disk and the gas state, and also added the lunar calendar from the lunar line. Finally, the mountain calendar was suppressed. After hundreds of years
The debate determined the final shape of the Chinese calendar.
"Compatible with three sets of solar calendars and one set of lunar calendars, the Chinese calendar uses the stars in the sky as the main disk and the mountains and rivers as the auxiliary. This set of calendar vitality star charts is also the predecessor of the 'Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Qi Chart' popular in today's thirteen waters.
"
Then came the Battle of Overturning the Continent, destroying China in one fell swoop. Everything about the movement of energy became a joke.
This is the reason why the Eight Dragon Kings are hated by people.
Zhou Xiao sighed: "To this day, there are still differences in the understanding of the current vitality in the Thirteen Waters. Therefore, everyone often goes to Tianyang to discuss the Tao and participate in the discussion of 'determining Tianyuan'. I went there last time.
As a result, the elders of the Yusheng and Zihuang families got into a fight. One group believed that the lunar star should be used as the yardstick, while the other group thought that the sun star should be used as the yardstick before picking up the mountain calendar."
Fu Xuanxing: "Is there such a thing? In the past few years, you have gone out once and participated in the 'Tianyang Heroes Meeting'? It was a grand gathering for our younger generation to discuss Taoism and fight."
Competing for the top ten young masters in the world, he had once thought about it and planned to fight for a name.
"Huh? A meeting of heroes discussing Tao? What is Tao? Tao is the principle of the movement of heaven and earth.
"You juniors, if you don't even understand the map of heaven and earth, how can you talk about Tao? Do you really think that fighting with flying swords is just talking about Tao?
"Look at what you juniors are competing for to be the best in foundation building and Qi refining. What kind of rookies will you be judged against? And then you will be given rewards?"
Zhou Xiao said with a sarcastic smile: "Sending rewards to you will restore the heaven and earth to their original state, or will it allow us all to compile heavenly books?
"The meeting of heroes is just that when we determined Tianyuan, we were worried that you disciples would cause trouble in Tianyang, so we found a way to tie you up to prevent you from destroying Bu Xianzhou and annoying some Tribulation Immortals."
Jin Xian'e also heard about the determination of Tianyuan.
But such a thing is not her turn.
A monk like her only needs to wait for the acting masters from various schools to deduce the latest version of the Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Qi Diagram, and then go directly to get the results.
"What were the results of the last survey? I asked some colleagues, but there seems to be no results?"
"How to publish it? In the end, after breaking his head, an elder from the Yusheng Pavilion burned half of the Babel Tower in the Purple Emperor Pavilion. This angered the master of the Purple Emperor Pavilion and personally took action and drove everyone back from the Yusheng Pavilion."
Why do younger generations misunderstand that discussing Taoism is another level of fighting?
That's because when explaining the principles of heaven and earth, everyone can't control their anger, which can easily lead to group fights in the end.
The last survey of Tianyuan ended in this way.
At this time, Fu Henghua let out a miserable laugh and cursed directly.
"Isn't this my Heluo algorithm?"
He used the mountain calendar to analyze the cultivation techniques practiced by Taoist Huofeng in the Shenzhou era. He recorded them again according to the meridians and acupuncture points.
But this set of foundation-building techniques involves the heaven and earth map of the Chinese era. Now that the world has changed drastically, it is considered invalid.
Fortunately, Taoist Huo Feng also memorized his experience in the steps of changing from the mountain calendar to the star era. Next, Henghua re-calculated the exercises of Taoist Huo Feng in accordance with today's luck method of heaven and earth.
However--
I followed Taoist Huofeng’s ideas and reached the late stage of Golden Elixir.
The puppet disappears, and a golden elixir floats in the sky, slowly resonating with the fire and yang energy between heaven and earth.
Fu Henghua finally discovered it.
Isn't this the Ten Thousand Qi Map stored at home? And it's an old version from six hundred years ago. At that time, only 32,000 sets of various quantities were calculated.
Compared with the true movement of heaven and earth, the error is one-fifteen thousand and twenty-one hours.
Now, the Fu family's "Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Qi Map" has been calculated to one thirty-six thousandth of an hour. It is equivalent to an error of about 0.2 seconds from the real movement of heaven and earth ten thousand qi.
