Yu Xian thought about it and felt something was wrong.
The Book of Changes has been around for a long time and even passed through the hands of Confucius.
According to records, the sage Confucius could not put down the Book of Changes, and he even reached the level of "Three Wonders of Wei's Compilation".
Based on the knowledge and knowledge of the sage Confucius, if this thing is really useless for divination, then Confucius will definitely point it out.
Why didn't Confucius mention it?
What did Confucius understand when he read the Book of Changes?
Maybe..., starting with a mistake may not necessarily end with a mistake.
Seeing Yu Xian thoughtfully, Wu Yan slowly calmed down and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"
Yu Xian thought for a while and said softly, "Perhaps not begging the gods and not waiting for the gods' response is the reason why humane civilization flourishes."
"Huh?" Wu Yan frowned and looked at Yu Xian, "What do you mean?"
Yu Xian said slowly while sorting out what he was thinking.
"King Wen of Zhou deduced the sixty-four hexagrams and wrote the Book of Changes. Perhaps it was originally for divination. But as you said, the foundation of this book is wrong and comes from gods that cannot respond. After King Wen of Zhou completed the book, he must have
He was extremely hesitant, but in the end he probably found his own way."
Wu Yan became more and more confused as she listened, "What on earth are you talking about?"
After hearing this, Yu Xian said slowly and softly, "Since the gods cannot give a response, then King Wen of Zhou will give a response himself. And this is the so-called King Wen playing the Book of Changes."
"So King Wen personally approved the lines of speech wherever the gods needed to respond, and responded to those who needed divination on behalf of the gods."
Wu Yan heard this in disbelief.
"You mean, because Ji Chang couldn't communicate anything with the gossip of the human king Fuxi, he re-made the rules and filled the position of the god himself. When future generations perform divination, let all the hexagrams point to King Wen.
Point to his lines."
"This, this is simply nonsense."
"Jichang is not a god and cannot live forever. What is the meaning of his response?"
Yu Xian slowly figured out Wu Yan's logic.
The divination of witches is to serve the sacrifices, and the sacrifices are to beg the gods to directly intervene with powerful power.
Ji Chang is not a god and does not have strong power. Naturally, such divination cannot bring anything.
Yu Xian had so many thoughts in his mind that he suddenly remembered the boy riding a bull he had seen in the suburbs of Luoyang.
Not only did the boy get the Kui Niu War Drum and the blood of Duke Zhou, but he also taught him two abilities. One was the strong control skill Yu Xian regarded as his trump card, the Duke of Zhou's Dreaming Technique, and the other had a completely unexpected use.
The Duke of Zhou interprets dreams.
Even now, Yu Xian still doesn't understand what this "Dream Interpretation by Zhou Gong" is all about?
Although the boy did not explain it seriously, he told him the secret of Zhou Gong's dream interpretation.
——Always give people the warmest hope.
This sentence suddenly jumped in his heart, and Yu Xian suddenly understood it and was enlightened.
A smile appeared on his face, he looked at Wu Yan and said, "It's very simple. What King Wen actually said is nothing more than a simple truth. Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. And those lines, although unable to respond, are powerful and unpredictable.
The magical power can leave people with the warmest hope."
"To live well, you still have to rely on yourself."
Wu Yan stared blankly at Yu Xian's face.
After looking at it for a long time, he said softly and a little lonely.
"Perhaps the Witch Ghost Sect has really been left far behind. If it is as you said, then what is the difference between us using the Witch Ghost to identify ourselves, and praying to the gods in the wilderness?"
Yu Xian could not answer this question.
The two of them sat side by side quietly in the quiet night, slowly sorting out their thoughts.
For the first time, this great witch of the first witch clan in Sichuan felt a wave of emotion.
Those ancient shaman and ghost sects in Sichuan smell of decay.
With admiration for the sages, Yu Xian slowly thought about the heroes who opened up the wilderness, opened up the people's wisdom, and made humanity flourish.
In the end, it was Wu Yan who broke the silence first.
"My soul power can't last long. Do you still want to learn Wu Zhu's method?"
Yu Xian thought about the past and realized a long time ago that people like Dong Fu and others had gone astray.
His heart suddenly became enlightened and he dismissed it.
However, Yu Xian had no intention of changing the stubborn minds of the world.
Since some people are willing to use the Book of Changes as a divination book, I hope that King Wen's thoughts were not in vain.
Yu Xian said, "You still have to learn it, and it will always be useful."
As a prophetic traveler, it is inevitable that some "unpredictable" miraculous things will be revealed inadvertently.
Although Yu Xian didn't intend to go against God's will, he was afraid that there would be times when things were amiss.
It's always good to have this way of covering up.
Wu Yan had already promised, so naturally he would not break his promise, "Then I will teach you some of the simplest prayers."
Yu Xian turned his head, looked at Wu Yan's beautiful profile, and listened carefully.
Wu Yan ignored Yu Xian and looked far away, as if looking at ancient times, and said in a low voice, "When the world was still ignorant, my ancestors tried to understand the world."
"...He used the Qian hexagram to represent the unfathomable future, the Kun hexagram to represent the unfathomable past, and the remaining six hexagrams to represent the unfathomable present..."
"... He gave names to the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and also gave names to the directions. Therefore, time echoed him, and the four directions echoed him... With this power of ignorance, my ancestors communicated the world with creation and the world without creation.
world..."
"Now, I sing time, years and fleeting moments. I sing the four directions, east, south, west, north... I sing water and fire, and thunder..."
"So... they all responded to me..."
The most powerful witch in the world finished her prayer and waited quietly for a while.
Turning to look at Yu Xian, he showed an indescribable smile, "No one responded to me."
The gods she sang about were dead, and the claimed divine rights were no longer owned.
"Yeah." Yu Xian responded, lowering his head and memorizing slowly.
Wu Yan looked at Yu Xian's profile and suddenly called out, "Yu Xian."
Yu Xian turned his head and said, "I'm here."
Wu Yan smiled and shook her head, signaling Yu Xian to continue.
But he realized more and more in his heart, "So, humanity is strong. Relying on each other is much more reassuring than serving some god."
Yu Xian recited it silently several times.
Wu Yan asked, "Do you remember?"
Yu Xian confirmed again, "There shouldn't be anything wrong."
Wu Yan reminded seriously, "You still have to remember it, so as not to call someone who shouldn't be called."
Yu Xian understood.
Although these ownerless gods received no answer when they prayed, at least they were safe.
If the evil god who still exists like the female demon is summoned, the consequences may be unpredictable.
