What the Two Sages said about the Heavenly Book originating from Mount Tai can only be regarded as one of many versions. It is the opinion of one family and cannot be verified.
They can say it, and you can listen, but whether you believe it or not in the end is another matter.
As the person who has studied the most heavenly books alone in the world, Ye Xiaochuan is half convinced and half doubtful.
Just because the timeline is correct does not mean that the version told by the Second Saint is the closest to history.
It has been too long, at least six to seven hundred thousand years have passed. Human civilization has experienced several catastrophes during this period, although some of the history of that year may be preserved in the Jade Slip Cave in Wushan, southern Xinjiang.
But at that time, human writing was ancient seal script that had long been lost. Even if the source of the ten volumes of heavenly books could be found from the vast jade slips, no one in the world today would be able to recognize the writing on it.
However, Ye Xiaochuan felt that since the Second Sage had been holding on to the Book of Heaven tonight, he must not only teach himself that "it cannot be broken but cannot be established", and it was not just about telling the origin of the Book of Heaven.
He had a feeling that the Two Sages seemed to have a deeper meaning, especially the tenth volume of Confucianism and Taoism, which seemed to be the theme of the Two Sages' lecture tonight.
He grasped the key point and said: "Two seniors, could it be that this Confucianism and Taoism has been passed down in Mount Tai?"
The Second Saint shook his head.
Duan Gongdao: "The Confucianism and Taoism chapter has been lost for many years, but it has not been lost."
This is a paradox.
Is it lost or not lost?
Shangguan Yu couldn't help but express his opinion.
The two saints smiled.
Ye Xiaochuan suddenly understood and said: "Since there are hidden mysteries in every volume of the Heavenly Book, what is lost is probably just the superficial words.
The essence of Confucianism and Taoism has been passed down in the human world in another way."
This time the Second Saint was even more satisfied.
Mr. Yan nodded and said: "Yes, what has been lost in the world is only the method of cultivation in Confucianism and Taoism.
Another kind of power in Confucianism and Taoism has not been lost and has been promoted."
There was no need for Yan Gong to reveal it clearly, but Shangguan Yu already understood that this force was Confucian theory and thought, and this volume of heavenly book contained strategies for governing the country and ensuring peace.
Perhaps for most human beings, the other nine volumes of the Heavenly Book are methods of cultivation and the art of achieving immortality.
Only this heavenly book is meaningful to ordinary people.
Confucian thought has also influenced China for countless years.
The night is gradually getting deeper.
There are less than three hours until dawn.
In front of a few drunkards, not a drop of Baihua Brew was left.
Duan Gong drank the last cup of Baihua Brew in one gulp and said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, we have treasured the fairy brew for many years. If we drink it tonight, we will have no regrets in this life."
Mr. Yan nodded and said: "If we can help this boy onto the horse and send him on a ride, our two old men will not have lived in vain."
After saying that, he turned to the entrance of the cave and said, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoshi, come here."
Yu Haisang and Shi Jingtian, who had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropping, heard this and trotted up behind the two saints.
Yan Gongdao: "You two, go down the mountain. No matter what happens here in the next few days, don't come close, and you must prevent others from approaching here."
The two of them looked stiff, unsure of their intentions.
Yu Haisang said: "Teacher, if we two leave, who will take care of you?"
Duan Gong pointed at Ye Xiaochuan and said, "Isn't there still this kid?
Go ahead."
It was still some time before dawn, and it was obviously unreasonable for the Second Sage to ask the two great scholars to leave. Everyone noticed this, but the Second Sage insisted, and no one else dared to disobey.
After Yu and Shi left.
Duan Gong said: "Xiaoyou Ye, do you know why that old storyteller pointed you to Mount Tai?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Isn't it because the two elders know the secret of the Book of Heaven?"
Duan Gong shook his head and said: "The old storyteller himself also knows the secret of the Book of Heaven. If it were limited to this, he would not point you here.
Although the old man is unknown, his knowledge, vision, structure, and experience, even at this moment, Lao Yan and I may not be able to surpass him.
He directed you to come here for the Zhangmen and Baihui points in your body."
Ye Xiaochuan was a little confused.
As for these two fatal points in the body, Ye Xiaochuan had already mentioned them in the library cave yesterday morning. The Second Sage did not have an answer at that time, and Ye Xiaochuan had already given up and wanted to find another way.
Now the Second Sage has brought up these two fatal points. What is their purpose?
Seeing the surprise on Ye Xiaochuan's face, Duke Yan said: "According to the ancient records of Mount Tai, every few hundred years, a mysterious man who studies heaven and earth will come to Mount Tai to seek help.
The difficulties they encounter are exactly the same as those of you, Xiaoyou Ye, and they are all caused by the Zhangmen and Baihui acupoints in the body."
When Ye Xiaochuan heard this, his expression changed drastically.
Said: "Could it be said that there are people in the world who have been secretly practicing the reincarnation chapter of the ninth volume of the Book of Heaven?"
Yan Gongdao: "Not bad.
Throughout the ages, the method of acupuncture cultivation has never been discontinued in the human world.
In the human world, there is a very secret lineage, and what they practice is to open acupoints to create abysses.
It's just that this lineage is extremely low-key, and perhaps there aren't many talented people. Only every few hundred years will a person who attains the Mahayana appear.
When the acupuncture points in their bodies are almost opened and only Zhangmen and Baihui are left, they will come here.
Because in the Three Realms, the secret method to deal with these two fatal points lies in Mount Tai."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaochuan looked happy.
But what he was more concerned about at the moment was the mysterious lineage that Yan Gong mentioned.
If he guessed correctly, this mysterious bloodline should be that of the old storyteller.
What I learned about reincarnation came from the piece of wolf skin in Xu Tiandi's coffin.
The storyteller's lineage was passed down from the younger disciples that Xu Tiandi later accepted.
Many of Xu Tiandi's special skills were not passed down to his granddaughters Guixian and Li Ziye, but to the mysterious young disciple who broke into the house.
It’s not surprising that the reincarnation chapter is passed down in the storyteller lineage.
However, Ye Xiaochuan is not completely sure yet, after all, this is all his guess.
He asked the Second Sage who was the last person who came to Mount Tai in search of a way to open acupuncture points.
The Second Saint seems not to know the details.
Duan Gongdao: "It is very rare for us in the Confucian family to live to the age of Lao Yan and I, unlike you people in the cultivation world who are often hundreds of years old.
People in that lineage are very mysterious, and not many people have revealed their names. According to Mount Tai records, the last time someone came to open acupoints was about 450 years ago, and no one knows their names.
But about a thousand years ago, when a man came to open the cave, he left something behind."
He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it gently.
Ye Xiaochuan and Shangguan Yu looked up.
Under the moonlight, I saw a palm-long black jade in the cloth bag.
There are words on the jade stone.
"Huang Tian" "Zheng Yi" Ye Xiaochuan murmured.
His expression is very strange.
It's not because of the two characters "正一" at the end, but because of the two characters "黄天" in the front.
They were all caused by the catastrophe and the game between the heavens.
I have heard the big guys say before that there is a blue sky and a yellow sky in the world.
The blue sky is dead, and the yellow sky is about to stand.
So as soon as he saw the word "Huang Tian", Ye Xiaochuan began to murmur in his heart, could it be related to the legendary Huang Tian?
At this moment, Mr. Yan also took out a small cloth bag. After opening it, there was also a jade of similar size inside.
