Chapter 499 The river comes out of the map, Luo out of the book, and the sage
The pagoda inside the Immortality Flower has many layers. What Fang Ming knew was that because the upper layer of the pagoda was shrouded in clouds and mist, he could not see clearly how many layers there were in total.
After entering the pagoda for the first time, Fang Ming also tried to enter the upper floor of the pagoda, but he searched the entire first floor and could not find a passage to the second floor.
So Fang Ming made a judgment at that time. If he wanted to climb other floors of the pagoda, he might need to meet certain conditions. This condition might have something to do with him, or it might have something to do with the Immortality Flower.
Just because the pagoda is too important, Fang Ming did not dare to experiment with the Immortality Flower. To put it bluntly, if the Immortality Flower was destroyed, his losses would be huge and he would not even cry.
A place to cry.
Fang Ming's eyes were fixed on the top of the first floor. The Bagua diagram that was originally carved on the top slowly emerged and floated towards Fang Ming at a slow speed.
When the Bagua Diagram was still three meters away from Fang Ming, a terrifying aura suddenly came over. This pressure made Fang Ming close his eyes for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, what was in front of him was
The picture has changed.
The Bagua Diagram disappeared, and the scene in front of him also changed. It was no longer a pagoda, but appeared in front of a turbid river. By the river, there was a man standing there with his back to Fang Ming.
"Who is this?"
Fang Ming frowned, not understanding why such a scene occurred in the pagoda, and was about to ask, but at this moment, something happened to the turbid river water.
The river rolled and rolled up huge waves, and in the huge waves, a strange beast with a dragon's head, a horse's body and wings flew out of the huge waves. With a loud roar, it directly tore the river in half.
.
The entire turbid river water seemed to have been cut off with a knife, and the river bottom, which was a hundred feet deep, was revealed in front of Fang Ming's eyes, and also in front of the man's eyes.
"What rune is this?"
Fang Ming just glanced at the scene at the bottom of the river and felt a little dizzy and couldn't bear it. He only saw some criss-cross patterns on the bottom of the river, but there was no pattern at all, just like a child.
Random doodle lines.
However, the man by the river moved at this moment, and his hands began to dance in the air, as if he was copying the pattern on the bottom of the river with his hands.
Unfortunately, the bottom of the river was only exposed for less than a second before it was submerged by the river water again, and the movements of the man's hands stopped.
"It's not enough."
The man sighed, and then, Fang Ming found that the scene in front of him changed again. This time, a crystal clear river appeared in front of him, and the man was also standing in front of the river.
When he saw the man and then the river, Fang Ming's eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, because at this moment he had already vaguely guessed about the man's identity and was looking forward to the next scene.
The clear river was very gentle, but at the bottom of the clear river, Fang Ming saw a wisp of black spots slowly beginning to emerge, and getting bigger and bigger, as if they were slowly floating up from the bottom of the river.
It was a turtle, one that was so big that Fang Ming couldn't even see it, and there were black spots on the turtle's back.
The man danced his hands again, but this time it was not drawing, but pointing out with his fingers, and it lasted for almost as long as a cup of tea. When the man stopped moving, the turtle suddenly cracked, and the entire turtle shell was even bigger.
It was instantly broken into millions of pieces.
"Thank you for your advice. If you learn anything from me, I will never forget your great kindness."
Seeing the giant turtle disappear, the man's voice was a little low, and he bowed three times to the river where the giant turtle had appeared earlier.
But at this moment, Fang Ming's expression was extremely excited, because he knew that his judgment was correct.
Rivers produce pictures, Luo produces books, and sages follow them.
Hetu Luoshu is the most important existence in the entire Taoist system, and this saint is the human king Fuxi, who created the innate Bagua with Hetu Luoshu.
This sentence is mentioned in Taoist classics and hexagrams of the Book of Changes: Rivers produce pictures, Luo produces books, and sages follow them.
Later generations understood this sentence to refer to the two saints, the human king Fuxi and Dayu. The human king got the river map to create the Xiantian Bagua, and the dayu got the Luoshu to successfully control the flood, and then divided the world into nine states, Dingshan River and Sheji.
However, the scene before him told Fang Ming that the understanding of later generations was wrong. Both Hetu and Luoshu were obtained by King Fuxi.
Thinking of what the Human King Fuxi did after getting Hetu and Luoshu, Fang Ming could not suppress his excitement. Although he was a wizard, because he had been with his master since he was a child and received the Taoist culture, he could not be called the ancestor of Taoism.
One of them, Fuxi, was naturally worshiped with great admiration.
What's more, once an innate Eight Diagrams diagram is released, it will be a supreme merit for China. It will integrate the Tao of the world into the Eight Diagrams and educate all people. This is the reason why Fuxi is called the King of Humans.
"Still not right."
However, after Fuxi stood by the river for a long time, he suddenly muttered to himself, "This way is not the way of my human race."
Hearing Fuxi's words, Fang Ming was stunned. It was rumored that Fuxi created the innate Bagua chart based on the river chart Luoshui. Why is it wrong now?
Just when Fang Ming was stunned, Fuxi's words woke him up.
"My friend, do you have any good advice?"
Fuxi did not look back, and after he said these words, the scene in front of Fang Ming changed again, and the escalator leading to the second floor appeared in front of him.
Fang Ming subconsciously wanted to lift his feet up the escalator. However, when he raised his feet, he found that he could not fall to the first step no matter what, and an invisible resistance appeared in front of him.
"I understand. If you want to go to the second floor, you must answer this question from Wang Fuxi."
After pondering for a moment, Fang Ming understood that the question asked by King Fuxi in the picture was the condition for leading to the second floor. Only when the answer is answered can one step onto the second floor.
"Perhaps, it is not necessarily Fuxi. It may be that the owner of this pagoda deliberately left such a scene. After all, the human king Fuxi has been too long ago, and the owner of this pagoda left such a problem. It is a test of the people who come in.
The understanding of gossip.”
Fang Ming had a guess in his mind, but in any case, the person who asked this question must have a much better understanding of the innate Bagua than the average person. Fang Ming did not feel that his research on the Innate Bagua was comparable to that of the other person.
"This way is not the way of our human race..."
Fuxi's words were swirling in his mind, and Fang Ming began to think about it. What Fuxi meant was that although both Hetu and Luoshu were good things, they were not suitable for the human race, but in the end Fuxi still created
Innate Bagua, then excluding Hetu and Luoshu, what did Fuxi rely on to create Xiantian Bagua?
I didn’t see the subsequent screen. Does the person who set this question know? If he knew, then he simply asked this question to test himself.
But if the person who asked this question didn't know what Fu Xi relied on to create the innate gossip, then how did he know whether the answer of the person entering the pagoda was right or wrong?
These two questions are critical, because these two questions will determine the direction of Fang Ming's solution.
After a long time, Fang Ming finally made a decision and had an answer in his heart, and this answer came from the records in the wizard's inheritance.
Wizards, powerful men who understood the way of heaven and earth in ancient times, fought against hundreds of races for the rise of the human race. This background also illustrates one point, that is, when the human race first appeared, their status was low and they could not even save their lives.
Whether it is the dragon-horse-like beast or the divine turtle behind, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are not human beings. What they taught Fuxi is the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, which allows Fuxi to master the great ways of the world and become a strong man.
The way.
But this is not what Fuxi wants. What Fuxi wants is to educate all people and open up a wise way for the human race. This way may not make Fuxi a strong man, but it can allow the human race to have its own wisdom in the future.
Therefore, this is the birth of two, the two is the birth of three, and the three is the birth of all things; this is the Tai Chi birth of two yang, and the two yang birth of the four phenomena...
The innate Bagua is not so much that Fuxi accommodates the great avenues of heaven and earth, but rather that he passes on the art of deduction to the human race. The people of the human race use the innate gossip to deduce the great avenues of heaven and earth. This is what Fuxi wants to do.
The Xiantian Bagua did not teach the Tao, because Fuxi did not have any annotations on the Xiantian Bagua. All the saints in later generations understood the Xiantian Bagua from themselves.
"My advice is to teach people how to fish rather than teach them how to fish."
Fang Ming spoke. This was the answer he came up with. Fuxi obtained the Hetu and Luo Shu, and knew the way of heaven and earth. However, he did not preach the doctrine, but taught the human race the method of deducing the path. A thousand people may have knowledge of the innate gossip.
A thousand interpretations.
At least, this must have been the case in those ancient times when there was no detailed explanation of the Xiantian Bagua like in later generations, and there is a fact that can also support Fang Ming's judgment.
Fuxi created the method of knotting ropes. The so-called method of knotting ropes is the origin of numbers. Fuxi passed down numbers to the human race, and numbers are the basis for studying innate gossip. If you don’t know what one is, how can you give birth to all things?
After answering, Fang Ming raised his feet again and walked towards the escalator. This time, without any resistance, his feet easily stepped onto the first level of the escalator.
"Although it doesn't hit the mark, there is still a grain of truth that can be adopted."
A cold voice sounded in Fang Ming's ears. Fang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile appeared on his face. He had already exhausted his brains for this answer, but he didn't expect that there was only a trace of truth in the other person's eyes.
But no matter what, as long as he passed, he looked up at the escalator door. Fang Ming's eyes were burning. He could finally enter the second floor of the pagoda.
