Chapter 71: Meeting God (Part 2)
Swish... Those golden lines were frantically constructing something. In just a few seconds, an endless wall of light formed on both sides of Jiang Xian. There were countless religious murals and symbols engraved on the wall. Many of these symbols he had never seen before suddenly appeared in his mind.
Being in this passage, one can only feel extremely small, and truly feel what it means to have the power of God as high as a prison and the grace of God as high as the sea. A vague and sacred feeling drove his legs to walk outside.
The corridor was very long, and it seemed to have no end. He ran very fast. As he ran, the religious symbols on the walls lit up, forming a bright tunnel. He didn't know how long he ran, but he finally saw the exit. Without thinking, he jumped!
Whoosh! Two butterfly wings outlined by lines stretched out from behind him, and he stepped into the clouds. Then... he saw, in the clouds, a golden giant standing tall!
pressure……
At this moment, Jiang Xian clearly felt what pressure was. He felt like he was walking in a quagmire. Although there was nothing in the air, he felt a kind of pressure that was as high as the sky and as far as the earth, and as powerful as the gods. He couldn't even stand up straight.
"Heh..." At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked with sweat.
A cup of tea was brought to him, and Jiang Xian grabbed it and drank it. He slammed it on the table. Ye Xiaozu was sitting opposite him, with his mouth slightly open, muttering, "You saw it."
Jiang Xian nodded deeply, sat on the chair and rested for a while, then opened his eyes and said: "I saw... a long tunnel, countless religious symbols, and a giant in the clouds, pure gold. It's just strange... I can't see his face clearly."
Ye Xiaozu said: "Mr. Jiang, first you have to know what 'seeing a god' means."
"The so-called meeting with God is actually... escaping from prison."
"Jailbreak?" Jiang Xian frowned, but he didn't need to ask, Ye Xiaozu had already taken out his cell phone, placed it on the table, and pointed at the phone.
Jiang Xian suddenly had an idea and blinked his eyes and said, "Is the phone jailbroken?"
"That's right." Ye Xiaozu said in a deep voice: "To put it simply, mobile phone hardware is a prison. It can do a lot of things, but the makers have blocked too many permissions because the software requirements do not meet the standards for developing all the capabilities of the mobile phone."
He leaned forward and said solemnly, "What if... you imagine the mobile phone as a human brain?"
Jiang Xian's eyes lit up instantly, and he opened his mouth slightly, shook his head and said, "You mean... the human brain is naturally able to see some high-dimensional things, and these things are 'blocked' because our body coordination cannot meet the requirements. And..."
He looked at the pictures of Jianshenbuhuai and said with emotion: "These pictures are the 'software' of jailbreak, which can stimulate people's brains to fully develop instantly, so that they can see some indescribable things?"
Ye Xiaozu looked at Jiang Xian deeply and said, "That's right. All 'Seeing God is Invincible' are software that can see 'GOD', or call it 'BUG', in a specific way, a specific pattern, a specific sequence... It can be used as a means of confidentiality that surpasses all passwords, or as a top-secret way to convey certain information. It's not as magical as you think."
"So what exactly did I see?"
"I don't know." Ye Xiaozu shook his head and said, "Everyone who can see each copy of 'Seeing God is Indestructible' will see the same picture, but no one can tell what it is. Maybe it is really 'God' itself. Maybe... it is some other unspeakable existence. But..."
He looked directly into Jiang Xian's eyes: "No one can see the true face of 'God'."
"So, why are you surprised that you can't see God's true appearance?"
Jiang Xian stared at Ye Xiaozu in a trance, and felt a chill all over his body. He said hoarsely: "This...is not the first time I've seen a god."
"Earlier, I found a mural with a butterfly pattern on it, and I...had my first 'vision of God' then...and..."
He swallowed, took a deep breath and said, "I...saw 'God' clearly."
Yes, the first statue of the Nine Palace Flying Stars was already clear, and the outline of the last indescribable terrifying existence he saw was also very clear! It was much clearer than what he had just seen!
Swish... Ye Xiaozu lowered his head in shock, looked at Shen Buhuai, then raised his head to look at Jiang Xian, his voice trembling: "You... saw the real God?!"
"I am sure."
"This is impossible!" Ye Xiaozu stood up suddenly and said in disbelief: "Throughout the dynasties, no one has ever been able to see the existence of 'BUG' or 'GOD'! How...how could you possibly?!"
Could it be that Qin Shihuang’s “software” was different?
But before Jiang Xian could think about this question carefully, Ye Xiaozu had already walked in front of him and asked excitedly: "What exactly is the God you saw clearly like? This should be closely related to the clue you are looking for!"
Jiang Xian recalled for a moment and said carefully: "There are nine portraits of immortals in total. The other eight are not clear. The only clear one is... a ball of air."
"Angry?" Ye Xiaozu was stunned.
Jiang Xian nodded affirmatively: "Yes, air... or rather, cyclone."
"The air in all directions seemed to form substantial waves, swirling towards the center. The center seemed to be a black hole, and there seemed to be a vague figure in the black hole. The air flowing into his body was also very strange, with black and white, just like... just like yin and yang."
"Moreover, these energies do not flow into its body continuously. After a period of time, they will stop. Then, some strange things will emanate from it, and as the emanation process progresses, more and more..."
"What is it?" Ye Xiaozu asked hurriedly.
Jiang Xian frowned, closed his eyes, and recalled for a long time before saying, "For example... I saw the moon, the sun... I also saw leaves, water drops, flames... and the seven stars, the eight trigrams... and finally... there are spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Dong... a dull sound came from the front, and Jiang Xian opened his eyes immediately. Ye Xiaozu stared at him in astonishment, and the teacup beside him fell to the ground, spilling tea all over the floor, but he didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he murmured, "Shapeless and shapeless...no substance and no quality...what do you feel when you see that god?"
"Profound." Jiang Xian said affirmatively: "It is indescribably majestic, extremely deep, and extremely lofty. The sense of grandeur makes it hard to breathe."
Ye Xiaozu did not speak, but paced quickly with his hands behind his back. After a few seconds, he suddenly rushed to a bookshelf and flipped through the books quickly.
As he flipped through the pages, he muttered, "It's not this one... It's not that one either... Where did it go? Where on earth did it go?"
Those precious ancient scrolls were quickly placed on the table. After more than ten minutes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around quickly, and flipped through them. After a few seconds, he laughed loudly and slapped the table hard: "Found it... I found it!"
"The formless, supreme and profound God of origin, the primordial chaos, the indescribable is called Tao, and Tao is transformed into Taiyi..." He looked at the book tremblingly, raised his head to look at Jiang Xian, and said affirmatively: "What you see is Donghuang Taiyi!"
"Taiyi is Qi, Taiyi gives birth to Yin and Yang... This is the Yin and Yang Qi you see in black and white! It is also called Yin and Yang. The two principles transform into the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit, and the three treasures become the four phases of Taiyin, Taiyang, Shaoyin and Shaoyang... The sun and the moon you see are four phases!"
"The four phases reveal the five elements. The leaves, flames, and water drops you see... the elements give rise to the six combinations, the six combinations give rise to the seven stars, the seven stars give rise to the eight trigrams, the eight trigrams give rise to the nine palaces, the nine palaces are divided into ten heavenly stems, twelve earthly branches, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches give rise to the twenty-four solar terms..."
Snap! He closed the book abruptly and stared at Jiang Xian: "This is the 'rule' of Taoism: One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things! The process you see is Donghuang Taiyi himself! He himself is invisible matter, the highest and the farthest, without any form!"
Donghuang Taiyi?
Jiang Xian's eyes flickered, and he gently rubbed his blue chin. In his mind, he kept comparing what he saw with Donghuang Taiyi.
Donghuang Taiyi is indeed as Ye Xiaozu said, this is its essence: an existence infinitely close to "Tao" itself. In some myths, he is the true supreme god of China, but later the divine power was artificially weakened, and he became an assistant with three balls around him and a big move to fly up and catch people...
In fact, someone else was originally the main C...
Its description and what he saw were indeed very consistent with the original record of Donghuang Taiyi. If... if the first god he saw was Donghuang Taiyi, then... the answer to the next eight gods was also revealed!
"Jiuge!" He looked up suddenly and said excitedly, "The rest are the other eight gods! What is recorded here is the legend of Jiuge!"
And Donghuang Taiyi is the Supreme God of Jiuge!
"So that's how it is..." Countless information flashed through his mind, and he finally got some answers.
In the Qin Dynasty, mythology was incomplete. Although there seemed to be legends about Nuwa and Fuxi, it was not about Nuwa mending the sky, but about Nuwa creating the world. In other words, mythology at that time was fragmented and incomplete, and could not form a complete "divine system".
But at that time, there was a complete pantheon, which was the "Nine Songs" pantheon compiled by Qu Yuan! It can even be said that it was the first pantheon in Chinese history!
Later, Pangu created the world, the Three Pure Ones, and the Investiture of the Gods all came into being after Taoism flourished, and most of them came from the Han Dynasty and the end of the Han Dynasty. Now if we want to talk about a complete pantheon that can justify itself, there is only the Nine Songs! So , Qin Shihuang chose to believe in them?
What...does he want to convey with the Nine Songs Gods?
God...immortality...is getting closer, there must be something in between that has not been found!
"Wait!" At this moment, Ye Xiaozu suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, Jiuge is not the Eight Gods."
"The Nine Songs are divided into nine sections. But the gods included in it are twelve gods. To be precise, it should be called the Nine Songs and Twelve Gods."
Jiang Xian was stunned for a moment, then he stood up suddenly as if he was struck by thunder.
He stared at the ceiling in a trance, muttering, "Nine Songs and Twelve Gods...Nine Songs and Twelve Gods..."
"In the White Jade Capital of Heaven, with its Nine Palaces and Twelve Cities, the immortals stroked my head and tied my hair to grant me immortality?"
"Nine Palaces and Twelve Cities...Nine Songs and Twelve Gods..."
"Bai Yujing?!" They turned their heads at the same time and said in unison: "This 'Seeing God is Invincible' points to the direction of 'Bai Yujing'!"
Baiyujing... the moon, Chang'e, the elixir of immortality, Penglai Fairy Mountain, Queen Mother of the West... the Ten Witches of Lingshan... Jiang Xian got goose bumps all over his body.
He seemed to have... finally found the answer!
I finally understand the direction of medicine!
