Realistic Longevity

Chapter 18 The So-Called Legend

It is said to be a stronghold, but in fact it is just a small three-story stone building, which was built with local materials and stones from the ruins of Jixia Academy.

At first glance, the stone building is surrounded by a barren and ancient atmosphere, vast and far away, as if it came from ancient times.But in fact, breath is just breath and has no practical effect. It is essentially similar to the vision induced by Cheng Chuhua, it can only be seen, not used.

Lu Yang is the overall person in charge of the opening of the Jixia Academy, and has an independent office in the stone building.

The room is not big, so there is a table and a few chairs, all made of stone, and a pot of herbal herbal tea on the table. It should be that they have just received guests and have not had time to clean up.

There is a window in the direction of Jixia Academy, which is covered with curtains, and it will open when the wind blows.Through the window, you can see the scene beyond the security line, which is very suitable for remote monitoring.

Of course, the premise is that the eyes are better.

"Sit down." Lu Yang asked Cheng Chuhua to sit down, and sat down opposite him. He touched the teapot with his hand, and took out two more cups from the drawer to pour tea, "I just talked to the second son of the Yun family. That said, this tea is specially made for him, but it's a pity that he didn't take a sip, it's a disadvantage to us."

"Yun Shuxia is here?" Cheng Chuhua took the teacup, and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this, "I didn't see him just now, so I thought he wasn't here."

Lu Yang gave the second cup of tea to Zhuang Shuai, and then put the teapot into Tang Ran's hand: "Do you know Mr. Yun Er?"

"Well, we're college classmates, but I'm more familiar with his brother, and we're just casual acquaintances with him." Cheng Chuhua nodded, and the tea filled his mouth with the sweet herbal fragrance.

"As expected of a long-lived person, he has a wide range of acquaintances." Lu Yang hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, and then took it back, "I will talk about the second son when I have a chance, let's talk about Jixia Academy first." The situation. Mr. Cheng really doesn't know how he induced the vision?"

Cheng Chuhua said without thinking, "Yes, I really don't know."

"Okay, then let's not dwell on this." Lu Yang opened the drawer, took out a file bag from it and opened it, carefully took out a few slightly yellowed silk books, and spread them out on the table, "Mr. Come see this."

Tang Ran was walking around the room with the teapot in his arms, and when he turned to the disposable cup, he took out the silk book. He didn't drink the tea, and hurried to Cheng Chuhua's back, leaning over Cheng Chuhua's shoulders to read the silk book.

Zhuang Shuai cast a veiled glance at Tang Ran's hand on Cheng Chuhua's shoulder, then slowly moved to Lu Yang's side, and bent over to look at it cooperatively.

Cheng Chuhua didn't pay attention to the actions of the two of them, and carefully turned the silk book in front of him, flipped through it carefully, and thought about it.

The silk script is made of blue silk, a kind of fabric that only emerged briefly in the Dai Viet Dynasty and then has been lost to the present. It is known as "the end of the counterfeiters" and is the most difficult to imitate among all ancient relics.

There are three silk books.Two are meticulous paintings, one is a picture of mandarin ducks sheltering from the rain, and the other is a picture of wind and lotus in Quyuan. The brushstrokes are extremely delicate and lifelike.The other one seems to be an essay, with a few sentences about trivial matters in life. Compared with the two paintings, it is much more plain and simple.

If you ignore the content of the essay itself.

——Yu Chang said that the views of the philosophers and the talks of a hundred schools of thought are just talking about soldiers on paper and governing the country by the market. Although there are subtle insights, they are inevitably grand and empty.However, when I watch "Five Beetles" today, it is sharp and sharp, and the whip penetrates into it.Reading Lao Zhuang's article again, I have a different feeling.

"This is an ancient relic from the 120th year of the Dai Viet Dynasty. It is one of the [-] sets of silk scripts unearthed from the ruins of the old capital of Dai Viet excavated last year. It was only fully restored this year." Lu Yang briefly introduced the origin of the silk scripts, and tapped twice on the silk scripts. Next, focus on the words "Five Worms" and "Lao Zhuang", "Have you seen these two words?"

Cheng Chuhua nodded: ""Five Beetles" is rumored to be a legalist classic. It was mentioned in "Dayue General History Collection", but it has long been lost. Lao Zhuang is a representative figure of Taoism. One said it refers to two people, and the other said it It is the name of a person, and the historians have not yet concluded."

Lu Yang suddenly smiled: "This is my first question. Is Lao Zhuang alone or two?"

Cheng Chuhua was taken aback, subconsciously recalling the past, it took a little longer.Feeling a pain in his shoulder, he turned his head to look, and found that Tang Ran's hands were clasped there, and his nails were almost tearing his clothes.

"Tang Ran," Cheng Chuhua suddenly felt helpless, "Be gentle."

Tang Ran, who was nervously waiting for his answer, realized that he had increased his strength, but his face was not embarrassed, and he withdrew his hand by pushing his glasses: "Sorry, keep thinking."

Lu Yang looked at Cheng Chuhua and then at Tang Ran, with surprise in his eyes, he turned his head and exchanged glances with Zhuang Shuai.

——Tang Ran is willing to touch someone?

Zhuang Shuai raised a finger with a half-smile and shook it.

——No, he was an accident.

Suddenly, Lu Yang put away his surprise, and waited for Cheng Chuhua's answer solemnly.

Being interrupted by Tang Ran, Cheng Chuhua remembered: "Actually, at the end of the Great Yue period, there were very few rumors about various schools of thought, but I once worked in a private school and heard a master talk about Taoism. There are two representative figures, one is the founder of Taoism, and the other is Zhuang Zhou in the allusion of 'Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly'."

"That's two people." Lu Yang immediately summed up the answer, and took a note, "In ancient times, 'Zi' was the honorific name, and these two people can be called Laozi and Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi is Zhuang Zhou, so the founder of Taoism is Lao Tzu."

Tang Ran also took out the small notebook he carried with him and made a note.

Cheng Chuhua propped his chin up and looked out of the window. An old man riding a green ox westward and a fairy roaming around the wilderness appeared in front of his eyes. He didn't answer whether his guess was right or not.

"Here comes the second question." Seeing him distracted, Lu Yang tapped on the table, "Has Mr. Cheng watched "Five Beetles"?"

Cheng Chuhua shook his head: "No."

"The Five Beetles is really a legalist work?"

"Yes, it is said that the author is an unfavored prince of Emperor Wen of Dayue Dynasty... This melon is not authentic, I also heard it."

"Okay." Lu Yang wrote it down, "What else do you know about the various schools of thought?"

"What else do you know..." Cheng Chuhua lowered his head in thought, tapped his eyebrows with his fingertips, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his mind, and he clapped his hands and said, "There was a holy man in the Da Yue Dynasty. His name... There are many versions, but I am here For more than 20 years, Dayue has often heard people say that he is the heir of a hundred schools of thought, and he has gathered the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought in one body, which may be related to that unknown person."

Hearing this, Lu Yang frowned, while Tang Ran stopped holding the pen, and asked in a tentative tone, "Maybe...do you know about hell and reincarnation?"

Cheng Chuhua turned to look at him: "Of course I know that the folk myth system was established during the 3000 years I lived."

The so-called underworld, juxtaposed with the heaven and the human world in mythology, belongs to the fairy way among the three ways of humanity, fairy way, and demon way, commonly known as ghosts and immortals.

In the underworld, there are Luo Feng, the six heavens in charge of life and death, misfortunes and blessings of human gods, the five ghost emperors in charge of the life and death of ghosts in the Yin Division, and the four divisions and four judgments of good and evil merits and demerits before and after death.It also creates reincarnation, so that the ghosts of the three realms have a place to go, so that they will not be restless after death and wander around the world.

In addition, there are [-] miles of yellow springs in the underworld, and flowers on the other side bloom all over the banks.In addition to Huangquan, there are places such as Naihe Bridge and Wangxiang Terrace. The former washes away the memory of ghosts during their lifetime, and the latter allows ghosts to miss their hometown for the last time, and then run to the next life without any worries. They are all important parts of reincarnation.

"The contention of a hundred schools of thought is the foundation-laying period in mythology and the prelude to the rise of humanity. The establishment of heaven and hell means that the human race has truly become the protagonist between heaven and earth." Cheng Chuhua talked eloquently, comparing Luo Feng Liutian, Wufang Ghost Emperor and Sifang Sisi Judgment and other concepts explained a lot, and Tang Ran and Lu Yang couldn't stop writing at all.

"It's a pity that the theory of reincarnation was gradually forgotten by people with the decline of Taoism and Buddhism after the demise of the Wei Dynasty. Up to now, only some theological researchers have a little understanding."

"If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't know that the structure of the underworld is so complicated. I thought the underworld was only in charge of reincarnation, regardless of other things." Zhuang Shuai, who just came to listen to the story, was very polite.

A little thirsty after talking too much, Cheng Chuhua drank half a cup of herbal tea in one gulp, and Tang Ran took the time to pour him another cup.

"The Underworld is the most important link in the operation of the Three Realms. The members in it are all ghosts and immortals, and the high-level combat power is extremely high." Cheng Chuhua held back the words for 3000 years, but today he spoke comfortably and freely.

"Take the great master of the underworld, Fengdu Beiyin Great Emperor, for example, in ancient mythology—that is, in the mythology of Dayue's period, he directly confronted the ancient emperor of heaven—the emperor of ancient heaven, whose age was before all schools of thought and status Very high. Hey, you don’t know about others, but you always know about Fengdu Beiyin Emperor and Ancient Heaven Emperor, right?”

Finally hearing two familiar names, Tang Ran cheered up, and answered before Lu Yang: "Fengdu Beiyin Emperor is the highest god in the underworld, also known as the Son of Heaven, and the ruler of the underworld. The ancient Tiandi was called Haotian God, and His name is Taiyi, and he is still the supreme god of Taoism."

Lu Yang's words were stuck in his mouth, and his mood was very complicated.

Has this Tang Ran forgotten his personality of not being talkative and not getting close to others?

"Yes, one of these two big men is in charge of the underworld and the ghosts of the world; the other is the ruler of the heavenly court. Even if the new heavenly court is established, the position of heavenly emperor will still be reserved for him. They are the peak figures in the heyday of mythology."

Cheng Chuhua continued to dig out the content of the myth in his memory, but he always felt that there was something strangely inconsistent: "All the families of the philosophers belong to the human way, and the heaven and the underworld belong to the fairy way. The era is over, but the human race is still the protagonist of this world, and the monster race has no name."

When he said this, he actually made a summary of all the myths and legends he said before.But it’s okay not to summarize. Once summarized, a problem that has been ignored for a long time will surface.

Zhuang Shuai was the first to discover this problem.

He scratched his head and asked hesitantly, "You... don't you think something is wrong?"

Lu Yang flipped through the records to check if there was anything missing, without raising his head: "What's wrong? The logic is quite consistent, there's nothing wrong with it."

"The time is wrong." Zhuang Shuai went around to Cheng Chuhua's side and grabbed his other shoulder: "You just said that all schools of thought correspond to the human way, and that the human race is still the protagonist of the world after the age of mythology?"

Cheng Chuhua nodded, his eyes moved suddenly, and he and Tang Ran looked at each other, faintly aware of something.

Zhuang Shuai continued: "Look, there must be a process in the development of things, right? Throughout the history of the world, it is basically the development process from the age of mythology to the secular dynasty, right? According to this statement, all schools of thought should It was right to be born in the period of secular dynasties. After all, judging from the known concepts, the thoughts of all schools of thought are all aimed at governing the country, but how can there be any powerful country in the age of mythology? Aren’t they all based on immortals, Is the practitioner the main one?"

Cheng Chuhua finally understood where his sense of disobedience came from.

"The order is wrong!" At the same time, Tang Ran also expressed his thoughts in a deep voice, "Scholars and schools of thought shouldn't appear in the mythical period!"

"Yes, the contention of a hundred schools of thought should originally belong to the secular dynasty." Cheng Chuhua's face darkened instantly, "There were some ideas of various schools of thought in the Da Yue Dynasty, but these ideas were not recorded, and the people who proposed them were not taken seriously. , not even entered into the history. Tang Ran, you mentioned reincarnation just now, did you mean to say that the descendants may be reincarnated in the Dayue Dynasty, trying to reproduce the scene of a hundred schools of thought contending?"

"That's right." Tang Ran took a sip of herbal tea, "If my guess is correct, then there must be something wrong with the reincarnation and reconstruction of the philosophers, which caused the ideas of the philosophers to not be born smoothly."

"A Hundred Schools of Thought Controversy" was supposed to be the eruption of thoughts during the period of secular dynasties and the great prosperity of humanity, but for some reason it abruptly became the foundational period of mythology.If their conjectures are true, the truth hidden behind the Chinese myth is too terrifying.

"The birth of a hundred schools of thought..." Cheng Chuhua remembered the movie, or at the end of the history of Jixia Academy, what Tao Yao said, "It's a conspiracy."

On the ruins of the Jixia Academy, Yun Shuxia walked through the broken rocks and walked to the center of the former hall, which is now a huge circular pit.

Instead of using a wheelchair, he walked in by himself.

"The birth of a hundred schools of thought was a conspiracy. For this conspiracy, how many disciples lost their lives innocently?" Yun Shuxia held the maple and red leaf pendant on her chest, and the pendant shone faintly, revealing a sense of shortness and anxiety.

But he didn't seem to notice it, and said to himself: "If there are still souls wandering under this ruins, thinking about the inheritance of ideas and the rise and fall of theories, why not listen to me?"

The pendant suddenly radiated light, and there was a cool breeze between the sky and the earth, and there was a dark air flow, and the sound of spring water hitting stones came from outside the sky.

The underworld is silent, and the theory of reincarnation has not been revealed for thousands of years. During these 3000 years, the flowers of the other side have never bloomed to the world, and the [-]-mile yellow spring flows to the sky, not in this world.

Today, Yun Shuxia opened the gate of the underworld with the Liangyi seal of life and death, but she is not a person who has crossed the world.

The Jixia Academy, which had been quiet for thousands of years, sensed that the reincarnation had restarted, and suddenly there was a faint murmur under the bricks and rubble.

The disciples passed away, but there were still countless disciples in Jixia Academy who were robbed innocently, and the remnant souls worried about the severance of the ideological inheritance of the disciples, and never left.

Behind him, the five Yun Family disciples looked at the scene in front of them, their legs went weak with fright, and they wanted to escape.It's a pity that from the moment they set foot on the ruins, their fate has already been written by Yun Shuxia.

"I use the Yun family's century-old luck as a sacrifice, and take the opportunity of five reincarnations for everyone. With the power of reincarnation in the underworld, I will reincarnate in the body of my family's children, reappearing the appearance of the past brothers."

"Everyone, please spare my little brother's life."

"Please ask Fengdu Beiyin Great—"

Please use God's strength to forcibly open reincarnation.

Yun Shuxia saluted, and suddenly there was an ancient atmosphere behind her, as if a supreme immortal was coming, or she just stared at her for a moment, and succeeded with her strength.

The reappearance of reincarnation is not following the way of reincarnation, but taking its ability to turn death into life, and instantly put the souls of the five people behind Yun Shuxia into reincarnation.

The next moment, five rays of light rose from the ground and entered the five bodies respectively.

Successful reincarnation.

Yun Shuxia spat out a mouthful of blood, and the pendant in her palm was shattered into pieces, a flash of spiritual light jumped out of it, and she was hugged tightly in his arms again.

On the small stone building in the distance, Cheng Chuhua suddenly felt terrified, jumped up and stood by the window to look at the ruins of Jixia Academy, because he was too nervous, his palms were sweating.

Not to mention him, even Tang Ran, Zhuang Shuai and Lu Yang changed their expressions - they also felt the fleeting terrifying aura rising from the ruins of Jixia Academy.

"How can there be a breath of reincarnation? This momentum is... please God! Someone is asking God on the ruins!" Cheng Chuhua quickly reacted, and he was the only one here who knew about such things, "Who else is in the ruins? Shuxia, where is Yun Shuxia? Has he come out yet?"

Tang Ran obviously thought of him, and his face became more and more ugly: "I didn't see him, and the few members of the Yun family who came with him also disappeared."

"He has the Liangyi seal of life and death, and he invites gods on such an important relic... the only one he can invite is the ghosts and gods of the underworld." Cheng Chuhua's hands were shaking as he spoke, "The breath just now , the only possibility is... Fengdu Beiyin Great Emperor!"

Hearing this, Lu Yang threw down his pen and notebook and ran out, sending a message with a sound transmitter while running: "Attention everyone! Once you find members of the Yun family, especially Yun Shuxia, the second son of the Yun family, leaving the security line, immediately detain them ! Repeat again, immediately detain the person!"

Cheng Chuhua didn't move, Tang Ran also stayed to wait for his observation, but Zhuang Shuai ran out with Lu Yang.

"Tang Ran, he really wants to...resurrect Shuluo."

"……Um."

No matter what Yun Shuxia did in the ruins, which ghosts and gods he invited, his ultimate goal was only one.

Resurrect Yun Shuluo!

The author has something to say: Yun Shuxia: It's been so long, let me make a big news!

Yun Shuxia's plot has been foreshadowed in front of it, I don't know how much Daga has seen.
