Tianwei Chapter 287 Five Classics (4)
The scenery was charming, like the gorgeous aurora. Gradually, his palms were covered with the light that kept coming. It was colorful, but not dazzling. I opened my eyes wide and watched the light in his palms getting brighter and brighter, covering a wider area.
It didn't take long before he was completely covered in light. Strands of colorful light continued to condense and change.
After a few seconds, I thought I might have fireworks.
Because a book appeared in front of me. It was called a book, but to be more precise, it was more like several huge wooden boards put together.
Big! Very big!
In my eyes, it is almost as high as the sky, and when opened, it is as wide as the ground. This is a real heavenly book, from an ancient heritage, the Five Classics!
Maybe this is really an illusion. After all, the houses in the Taoist temple are only four meters high.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound all around, like thunder and lightning, or the roar of a giant beast, or the beating of a war drum. The heavenly book that covered the sky and the earth and shone with colorful light slowly opened.
The Taoist temple that I was originally in seemed to have turned into an endless wilderness at this moment. There were countless mountains all around. There were also countless illusory, somewhat blurry shadows, each of them was as tall as the mountains and rivers. They were like gods in mythology, standing at the end of the sky in an unknown distance, bowing down to this place.
When that page of the ancient book was opened, a human voice suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.
The sound was so deep and loud that it shook the whole world. I was so frightened that I didn't know what was happening because what was happening before my eyes was too unimaginable.
The voice seemed to be telling something, but the syllables were strange and I couldn't understand or hear clearly. Perhaps it was a sequelae from the previous reading of the Book of Life and Death, and I subconsciously used the Eight Ropes to "listen".
Without the slightest surprise, a series of voices immediately appeared in my mind, like a series of thunderclaps. I heard someone chanting: The emperor said, there is a way called appearance, and there is another way called body. The way is also the law, and the law is also due to words. If there is no sound, there is no law. Knock and cry, brother, and use the law to correct words. Brother's return is also the way, and also the law. The true words of the way and the law are the classics...
There were a few more words to come, but I was so stunned by the noise that I nearly collapsed to the ground, so I couldn’t hear them clearly.
Take back your thoughts. You can't bear this now. A pair of big hands were on my shoulders , conveying a lot of warmth. At that moment, I had an illusion. The hand on my shoulder was experienced. Because no matter how dangerous the situation, his hand always brought a reassuring warmth.
Those caring words made me feel like I was back in time a few months ago.
I subconsciously followed his instructions, retracted my will, and relaxed. The voice faded from my mind, but the scene in front of me did not.
I turned around and felt a little disappointed because what I saw was not the Taoist priest, but Grandpa Shi.
This made me sigh. It was just wishful thinking. The old Taoist's body was still lying there, and his soul was in the underworld. How could he come back to life? However, what Wudian did made me even more curious. What was he doing?
I couldn't help but look at Grandpa Shi and asked this question. In fact, if I asked my mother about this kind of thing, I might get a more detailed answer. But I couldn't ask her. There was a huge gap between me and her that was invisible and intangible but did exist.
He is using the Five Classics to understand what he wants to know from this world, Grandpa Shi answered.
So magical... I was a little surprised. No wonder they say the Five Classics can tell everything about the world. This method is comparable to the Eight Ropeway Method.
At the same time... Grandpa Shi spoke again: He wanted to take away the Five Elements Meridian inheritance.
Oh... I responded subconsciously, but immediately felt something was wrong. Take away the Five Elements Meridian inheritance? How?
This is a way that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. With your knowledge, it may not be easy for me to explain. Moreover, I don’t know much myself, but I have some opinions on this in the memories left by the Emperor of Heaven. Grandpa Shi said.
Although I felt a little embarrassed, I couldn't help but listen to it.
Grandpa Shi said: Wudian can see, hear and understand what he needs from some things left by heaven and earth. These things are like fragments of real objects, which they summoned from heaven and earth and formed into something similar to the original object but not the original object. When they took these things away, no matter where the original object was, it would disappear. Because in heaven and earth, there can only be one thing, no more, no less.
I was confused as I listened, feeling like I understood but not quite. What does it mean to have something that is similar to the original but not the original?
I only understand the last two sentences. Wudian can combine the information left by the real things in the world and turn them into something similar to the real thing. Then they take this thing away, and the real thing that originally existed in the real world will disappear. Because the real thing is already in Wudian's hands, and at this time, the thing in Wudian's hands will become real.
Grandpa Shi is right. This is indeed difficult to explain. What is even more incomprehensible is, what kind of Taoism is this?
When a snail crawls on the ground, it leaves a trace. When a person walks on the soil, he leaves a footprint. But how can something that exists in this world leave an illusory trace? What is that trace? Is it material? Or something like spiritual energy? Or maybe it exists in another world...
Just like a theory I've heard, there is a parallel world to our world. What's here is what's there, just in reverse. And what Wudian got seems to be exactly the same as the original.
It's unimaginable. No! It's just that my brain can't think of it.
When playing 3D games on a 286 computer, either the computer or the user crashes.
What's more, Grandpa Shi said that Wudian would take away the Five Elements Pulse. What does this mean?
I also came to this conclusion based on my memory, but even I can’t explain it clearly. Grandpa Shi said helplessly that after all, he only had his memory and didn’t know much about the Five Classics.
This is puzzling. The Five Elements Meridian is just the name of a sect. How can it be taken away? If you want to take away the Taoist books, magic tools, elixirs, etc. of the Five Elements Meridian, I can understand it.
Only now do I understand what a frog in a well means.
I used to follow the Taoist priest and thought I knew a lot, but now I find that what I know is just the tip of the iceberg. Maybe it’s not even the tip.
Grandpa Shi, if Wudian can summon things from heaven and earth... uh, restore them, do you think he will also bring out a bunch of predecessors from the Five Elements Meridians? I asked.
There is reincarnation in the world, and if the Five Classics cannot transcend the Heavenly Code, then it cannot be done. Grandpa Shi said: But what is certain is that he will definitely take that kid's body away.
That kid? I thought about it and immediately understood that Grandpa Shi was talking about the old Taoist priest. To Grandpa Shi, one of the nine sons of the dragon, the old Taoist priest was not even a child compared to him.
etc……
Take the Taoist's body away?
That's right. Since he inherited the Five Elements, he naturally also belongs to the Five Elements Meridian. So if he wants to take away the Five Elements Meridian, he will naturally take away the boy's body as well. Grandpa Shi answered with certainty.
No! I was immediately terrified and panicked, and quickly shouted: We can't let him take the Taoist away. The Taoist can be resurrected, and if he takes him away, how can I find him!
From dust to dust, from ashes to ashes, this is the final destination. For people like them, death is death, and there is no need to be resurrected. If it is God's will, they can always go back in the next life. Grandpa Shi said.
That's their idea! I don't agree! If I want to live, I'll live in this life! Since I can live, why do I have to die?
If you bring his soul out from the underworld, your life span will be shortened, which means that resurrection from the dead is against the will of heaven, said Grandpa Shi.
I am willing to shorten my life! No, we must stop him! I said this and was about to move forward.
What are you doing? Grandpa Shi grabbed me.
I want to stop him, the Taoist priest cannot be taken away, I want to revive him! I yelled and struggled desperately.
He transformed himself into the true words of Taoism. With your ability, you can't stop him. Grandpa Shi shook his head: If you go up at this time, you will only get hurt. What's more, this is their family affair, you have no right to participate.
Position… I was stunned for a moment, but then I immediately shook my head: No, I have a position! My grandma has the Five Elements Pulse! Then I am also a person of the Five Elements Pulse! The Five Elements Pulse has not been cut off, and the Five Classics cannot be born! The old Taoist can't let him take it away!
Don't talk nonsense. The mother's words came: You are the Eight Ropes, how can you be the Five Elements.
My mother's tone was very stern, but it only made me more rebellious: I am the Five Elements! No matter what anyone says, I can't let him take him away. He must live! I promised him!
At this time, a strong wind blew in the illusory wilderness. The void was turbulent, and shadows followed the wind and poured into the wooden book that supported the sky and the earth.
I clearly saw that what was coming were countless fragments, some were irregular instruments, some were various kinds of elixirs, some were books, and some were lights that were hard to explain or understand. In those lights, runes were faintly visible, very blurry, and unclear. In addition to these, there were some that were completely incomprehensible, like distorted text and time and space.
Perhaps, these things combined together are the so-called Five Elements Pulse. And the purpose of the Five Classics visitors is to take all of them away.
He can take away everything, any magic weapon, any elixir, any Taoist books, I don't want anything.
But, Lao Dao can't do that! He absolutely can't leave!
I still remember clearly that the black hair extending from the jade pendant was entangled with a transparent outline. That was the old Taoist priest, and I was almost within a stone's throw of him at that time.
I can't let him stay in the underworld, and I can't let him reincarnate with countless regrets. I still remember what he said to me a long time ago: As long as I can kill the corpse, I can find my junior brother and... fulfill my wish.
I can't just die like this!
I stopped struggling and stretched out my right hand to point at the wooden book that was so huge that it could not even be compared to Kunlun. The essence of the Eight Ropes Law flowed through my mind, and my heart suddenly calmed down. My lips trembled slightly, and I read out those words firmly and loudly: Chengtian! San!
