Chapter 541: The Secret Records of the Monster Clan, Supplement to the Book of Changes
"Mo Lang is aloof and arrogant. He lets nature take its course and lets the human race, the Central Plains human race, have extraordinary talents and endless potential."
"Xue Lang is elegant, learned from ghosts and gods, and mainly performs sacrifices. The Beidi people are less alienated, so they may be able to fight for it."
"Moon Wolf is very sophisticated, he is better than his predecessors, and he built a temple. The Xibo people are so alienated that it is difficult to do anything. Fortunately, there is a feud, which may be exploited."
"The ghosts and gods have mysterious origins and feed on thoughts. The Dongyi people have long-standing beliefs and form their own system. They are seriously divided. If their beliefs are broken, the Dragon God can rely on them."
"The Gu insect clan has an ancient heritage. They have been repeatedly squeezed out and fell into the trough. They have become parasitic to the human race and prospered. The Southern Barbarian race is extremely alienated and hopeless. It is a hundred thousand mountains and a land of disgust. It is the only hope for life and must be fought for."
Qin Yi flipped through the "Secret Records of the Monster Clan" and looked a little surprised.
Dragon Saint's understanding of the demon clan may be deeper than he thought before.
"Does the Moon Wolf clan in Xibo have a feud? This is information I didn't know before."
Qin Yi was thoughtful.
Is this the reason why Tibet has never cared about the Central Plains?
It turns out that their main focus was on their feud.
"No wonder, with this invasion of the barbarians, there has been no movement in Xibo. It turns out that the energy of the Moon Wolf clan has been dragged into the feud, and they have no intention of looking eastward."
This is indeed good news for Qin Yi.
"Beidi and the Southern Barbarians have been solved. Now, only the Dongyi are left."
Qin Yi glanced east.
"This Dongyi movement..."
Qin Yi had been to Dongyi, but he knew Dongyi's strength.
These movements feel very perfunctory.
Qin Yi's heart moved.
"The ghost and god clan and the Gu insect clan seem to be a little special among the demon clan."
One look at their painting style, it seems that they are not in the same series as other demon clans.
I think of Long Sheng’s comments about these two tribes.
"Mysterious origin...ancient inheritance..."
Qin Yi understood.
"Exclusion..."
After thinking about it, Qin Yi smiled and shook his head and said: "So, the Gu insect clan and the ghost and god clan have to do something in order not to be squeezed out? That's why they are so perfunctory?"
Qin Yi rolled up the bamboo slips in his hand and said slowly: "If this is the case, it seems that this barbarian invasion will be over soon."
Qin Yi put down "Secret Records of the Demon Clan", walked to another bookshelf, and started reading "Secret Records of the Southern Barbarians".
"The land of the Southern Barbarians is not suitable for survival. There are no human races. The tribes were defeated and fled to the Southern Barbarians. They stayed close to the long river and barely survived. The Gu insect family received inspiration from the ghosts and gods. In order to survive, they created the method of life Gu to parasitize the human race and educate them.
The descendants of the Southern Barbarians will pity them, grieve them, cherish them, sigh them, and have no choice but to lament them."
After Qin Yi read it, he looked astonished.
"The Southern Barbarians are actually immigrants from the Central Plains."
According to Long Sheng, south of the Changhe River is the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The environment is so harsh that it is difficult for the human race to survive. There is a war between tribes. Some of the defeated human race fled to the south of the Changhe River and barely survived on the shore.
Survive by relying on the long river.
However, the population at that time was probably very small. It was later that the Gu Insect Clan got inspired after seeing how the Ghost and God Clan used the human race, and they created the method of parasitism by Gu Insects. It was also this method that allowed the Southern Barbarians to colonize the Southern Barbarians.
Survive, thrive, and grow.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi couldn't help but shook his head. He and Long Sheng had different concerns.
"There are no absolutes in anything. There are disadvantages but there are advantages. If there was no life Gu, how could the Southern Barbarians survive in this harsh environment? How could they be as large as they are today?"
With the improvement of his strength, the broadening of his horizons, and the influence of his previous life, Qin Yi did not have a particularly deep prejudice against the human races outside the Central Plains.
It is not like the Central Plains human race in this world, who regard people outside the Central Plains as not being human races at all.
In order to take care of the recognition of the human race in the Central Plains, he could only use the word human in his previous life as a buffer to express his recognition of the human race outside the Central Plains.
It also uses the traditional skills and teachings of a certain eastern country in the memory of the past life to express the method of assimilating the human races outside the Central Plains.
Shift "blood identity" to "cultural identity".
However, the knowledge of blood identity is really deep-rooted and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even with his prestige, he had to choose a subtle method and do it slowly.
"Dragon Saint had the concept of one human race thousands of years ago. It is really rare to regard all human races in this world as one. However, the recognition of human race is the same as that of people of this era. They all regard the Central Plains human race as one."
The purest human race."
Although Long Sheng may not even know the word "enlightenment", but different paths lead to the same goal. In fact, the path Long Sheng takes is the same as him, and it is essentially the path of education.
Otherwise, there would not have been an organization of lantern-carrying men, let alone the separation of lantern-carrying men in various lands.
"It would be normal if Dragon Saint is also following the path of a saint."
Based on the previous battle in Northern Xinjiang, Qin Yi clearly sensed how much merit he gained from educating the barbarians.
"It's a pity that the barbarians cannot be educated because of the fate poison."
However, he kept a backup plan and would occasionally research it himself. He believed that he would definitely develop a method to safely remove the life poison.
Qin Yi read the books written by Long Sheng one by one and shook his head helplessly.
"Except for the book "Xun Long Jue", the other books have no trace of "Yi" at all."
Qin Yi glanced around, walked to a bookshelf, and picked up the "Supplement to the Book of Changes" written by the second generation Qilin.
This should be the book that is most likely to contain Long Sheng's "Yi" besides the books written by Long Sheng.
Qin Yi untied the rope and slowly opened it. When he saw the opening chapter, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "This is the original text of the "Book of Changes" that was circulated in the Central Plains during the Dragon Saint Era?"
It seems that at that time, Long Sheng's choice was the same as his and Wen Sheng's, which was to make the theory public.
"In ancient times, there were sages who used one to illustrate it and said: Two are born, two beget three, and three beget all things. I deeply believe this."
"Later, there were sages who performed it in two ways and said: Taiji gives birth to two rituals, two rituals give rise to four images, four images give birth to Bagua, eighty-eight-sixty-four, which is the ultimate evolution of life. I don't believe it, but after studying it day and night, I finally got started.
I couldn't believe it during the audition. The fate of ordinary people came into my eyes and I was deeply shocked."
"I understand it, but it's a pity that I can only gain from people, so I base it on heaven, earth, and people, and perform it three times. I have gained a little bit, so I wrote "Yi" to honor the sages and pass it on to the world."
The opening chapter talks about why Long Sheng left behind this work.
After reading it, Qin Yi was deeply touched.
"Sure enough, Long Sheng's theory of "Yi" did not arise out of thin air. It has been developed for a long time and has prototypes before."
His Feng Shui technique has long been known among the people.
Just very primitive, very rough.
Slightly weird.
On this basis, he continued to conduct in-depth research and pointed to the essence, and finally came up with the current Feng Shui technique.
Qin Yi then looked down.
"Yi means counting. At the beginning of counting, the palms are used as reference, so there are ten numbers. Later, there are wise people who simplify it. The knuckles are used as reference, so there are twelve numbers. The twelve ones coincide with the way of heaven and are the birth of Yi.
.”
After just reading the beginning, Qin Yi showed a look of surprise.
"It turns out that this is where calculation comes from."
Civilization depends on these wise men.
They used calculations and twelve numbers as the basis to understand the world and calculate the world, and this is how they came to have the current civilization of the Central Plains human race.
"In the primitive society of human race, the cognition of logarithms can only start from oneself. Therefore, for the cognition of one, the reference object may be oneself, and for the cognition of two, the reference object may be the eyes, both eyes, hands, and feet.
, For the recognition of four, the reference object may be the limbs, and for the recognition of five, the reference object may be the five fingers of the hand..."
Only then did Qin Yi understand why Long Sheng's theory of "Yi" had the concept of reference.
Qin Yi looked down.
"I am old, and I am about to die. I have regrets in my heart, and I am depressed and unable to achieve my goals. How can I cut off the learning of the sages and supplement the Book of Changes? My lifelong wish is that I will have no regrets even if I die. Therefore, I went against the teachings of the sages and went deep into the Central Plains to collect the Book of Changes.
The Book of Changes, unfortunately, came too late. The Book of Changes was destroyed and rarely heard among the people. After many searches, only two complete chapters were found. The rest are all fragments, which is a pity."
Seeing this, Qin Yi couldn't help but frown.
"During the second generation of Qilin, the Book of Changes was destroyed? And to the point of being 'little heard among the people'?"
Qin Yi shook his head repeatedly.
"It shouldn't be. Didn't it mean that the Dragon Saint's inheritance was destroyed by the Military Saint? The Longwu era lasted for more than a thousand years. At this time, it is still early for the military saint to be born."
Could it be that what the Military Saint destroyed was just the secret skills and techniques left by the Dragon Saint? Or was it the inheritance of the Dragon Martial Arts that was developed based on the inheritance left by the Dragon Saint?
Qin Yi's eyes couldn't help but narrowed.
"As expected, it was Dragon Saint who cut off his core inheritance."
According to the records of the Lantern Bearer, the Dragon Saint left the Central Plains with the Lantern Bearer in his later years and came to the land of Seyi.
At that time, the direct lineage of the Dragon Saint had already disappeared from the Central Plains.
The Longwu inheritance in the Central Plains has only side branches left.
Although Long Sheng started the Long Wu Era, his influence on the Long Wu Era was only in martial arts. After Long Sheng left, the Long Wu Era of the slave society had nothing to do with Long Sheng.
If Long Sheng had not left, with his wisdom and prestige, perhaps the Central Plains would have developed faster and better.
However, Long Sheng left for some unknown reason.
When he left, Long Sheng not only took away his direct lineage, but also destroyed the "Book of Changes" that had been circulated among the people.
Moreover, the destruction was so complete that it even reached the level of "unheard of among the people".
"Such a level cannot be achieved in a short period of time. It must have taken Long Sheng a long time to complete this matter. After ensuring that nothing went wrong, he left the Central Plains with the lantern holder."
Why did Long Sheng do this?
This is something Qin Yi can't understand no matter what.
"From the style of the lantern-carrying man and the instructions left by the Dragon Saint, we can see that the Dragon Saint has very deep feelings for the Central Plains and the human race. It shouldn't be."
Qin Yi's eyebrows felt a dull pain again. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up asking for the truth.
"Forget it, I'll just restore "Yi"."
There are only fragments left, and I don’t know how many can be restored?
Qin Yi continued to scroll down.
But the further down the page, the tighter Qin Yi's brows furrowed.
"Isn't this fragment of a chapter too complete?"
There are no more than four characters.
And there is no sequential order.
Qin Yi looked at the content of the second-generation Qilin's supplementary annotations based on the fragments, and shook his head repeatedly.
"The key to Liuhe lies in unity?"
What nonsense is this?
The key to Liuhe is obviously division!
If not, how could the Dragon Saint use the number of six to divert the divinity out?
"Nine is the ultimate number?"
Long Sheng clearly explained at the beginning that the number is ten first, and then the number twelve.
When we get to you, only the number nine is left?
Qin Yi shook his head repeatedly.
"The level of this second-generation Kirin is really beyond words!"
After reading it, Qin Yi put it down with a look of disgust and started looking through other books with "Yi" written by others.
Just the result...
"They actually all conducted research based on the "Supplement to the Book of Changes" written by the second generation Qilin?"
If you are wrong from the beginning, can you not be right later?
Qin Yi reluctantly put down the bamboo slips in his hand.
"If I keep reading, I will be brainwashed by their fallacies."
Although they were wrong from the second-generation Qilin, they were able to form a coherent whole with self-consistent logic. They even used it to study "The Art of Seeking the Dragon". The key is, they really succeeded.
They really used this wrong Yi Zhi theory to find the Qinglong Secret Realm.
Qin Yi was speechless.
"Dragon Saints can't use Yi Zhi's theory to accurately calculate the location of the dragon tomb. They can only use the human sea tactic. What can you do? Moreover, "Searching for the Dragon" is not for finding the dragon tomb, it is for finding the dragon's veins.
.”
Qin Yi was very suspicious that they found the Qinglong Secret Realm by accident, and then based on the results, they came up with the current theory of Yi that is completely logical and self-consistent.
"Can't think about it anymore."
Qin Yi shook his head repeatedly and turned his attention away from the theory of Yi created by the second generation Qilin.
"Relatively speaking, the "Yi" compiled by Wen Sheng is better."
Literary Sage should also find these fragments of "Yi", and then use these fragments to complete the unlost parts of "Yi Yi Yi Zhi" and "Yi Er Yu Zhi". As for Long Sheng's "Yi San Yi Zhi"
The "Education" part is the traces of the "Yi" left by the Military Sage era, which were reorganized, summarized, refined, and reorganized.
"Comparatively speaking, the "Yi" compiled by Wen Sheng, although simple, is more important."
For example, the most special sets of numbers in Yi: three, six, nine, twelve, thirty-six, one hundred and eight, etc., are all reflected in the "Yi" compiled by Wen Sheng.
It’s just that I stopped there and didn’t go into depth.
"However, as an enlightenment reading, it is reasonable to compile it in this way."
Qin Yi didn't believe that Wen Sheng's understanding of Yi was only to that extent.
Suddenly, Qin Yi's heart moved.
"Wait a minute, "Yi" was written by Literary Saint when he began to trace his roots and traces of Dragon Saint in his later years. It can be regarded as a by-product of that time..."
In his later years, Literary Saint must have discovered something, so he was so obsessed with tracing the memory of the former Saint.
Qin Yi suddenly thought of something that he had ignored.
"In his later years, Saint Literary also created a half-finished method of cultivating the soul and hid it in a visualization diagram..."
This method was learned by his teacher and later taught to him.
It is also the basis of his technique for cultivating the soul.
Qin Yi touched his chin and said to himself while recalling: "Some of Literary Saint's behaviors in his later years were indeed very strange..."
According to the Records of Wen Sheng, in his later years, Wen Sheng even had the idea of destroying the inheritance of Taoism for a period of time. However, after trying, he failed and finally gave up.
"The Dragon Saint is like this, and the Literary Saint is like this too. It's just that one succeeded and the other didn't. What's the connection between them?"
Qin Yi rubbed his aching brow and sneered: "Forget it, we can't explore it now, it doesn't matter. As long as we keep getting stronger and have enough strength, everything will be solved naturally."
When the time comes, he will want to see where the ghosts and monsters dare to play in front of him.
