Honghuang: I really don’t want to be the Emperor of Heaven

In the early autumn of this year, days of heavy rain caused the river water levels to skyrocket, houses along the banks were washed away, plagues spread, and mortals complained and suffered unspeakably.

Especially the Huaxu tribe on the banks of the river suffered too many mortal casualties. Before such a natural disaster, even the prehistoric mortals were somewhat powerless.

Faced with such a natural disaster, the top leaders of the Huaxu tribe began to take action. Masters such as Jinxian, Taiyi, and Daluo went to the banks of the rivers and began to channel the water veins, using great power to guide the floods between heaven and earth to other places.

With the monk's intervention, the disaster of the Huaxu tribe came to an end, but the real disaster began again. After the flood, plague became rampant, and poisonous insects and beasts attacked ordinary people.

Fuxi once again led the practice to deal with these matters, develop elixirs, and drive away poisonous insects and beasts.

But this kind of thing can be done for a day or two. As time goes by, the monks also have opinions. They need to practice instead of being nannies for these mortals.

However, with Fuxi's persistence, the disaster was successfully overcome.

Fuxi also became more determined to create Bagua suitable for ordinary mortals, so that all living beings can know the reincarnation of the four seasons and the impermanence of heaven.

In order to understand these strange phenomena of nature and help ordinary people solve their problems, Fuxi began to travel around.

He carefully studied the changes in the sun, moon, heaven and earth, the stars, and carefully observed the laws of the earth's cold and heat, and the blooming and falling of flowers.

Walking on the ancient continent like a mortal, feeling the way of heaven and earth, and gaining a deeper understanding of the Eight Diagrams Avenue.

One evening, Fuxi was sitting on the bank of the river meditating on the great road. Suddenly he saw a big white turtle crawling up the bank, emitting a dazzling silver light under the setting sun.

"As the saying goes, the turtle is a symbol of longevity. There must be a reason why it wants to climb ashore."

So Fuxi walked over and helped the white turtle ashore. But for some unknown reason, this big white turtle kept following Fuxi. No matter where he hid, it could find it, which made Fuxi extremely puzzled.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up his practice and go home quickly, but this strange big white turtle followed him back home unhurriedly.

Fuxi thought: "There must be a reason why this big white turtle is like this!"

So Fuxi dug a large pool and raised the white turtle.

The next day, Fuxi was putting food into the white turtle's pond when he suddenly looked at the dragon and horse nesting beside him. Under the early morning sunlight, he saw that the pattern on the dragon's and horse's back was extremely clear, and the Taoist rhyme was constantly flowing.

Fuxi stepped forward and stroked Longma's smooth back, and murmured: "One and six are on top, two and seven are on bottom, three and eight are on the left, four and nine are on the right, and fifty is in the middle... By the way, isn't this the Eight Diagrams?"

Fuxi hurriedly pulled out a grass stem on the spot and drew the pattern on the back of the dragon and horse on a large leaf.

But although the latest gossip was drawn, everyone still couldn't understand it.

Looking at the confused crowd around him, Fuxi picked up the leaf again and pondered the patterns on it, but he couldn't think of a way to simplify it.

He walked to the White Turtle Pond unknowingly and suddenly heard the sound of water in the pond. After taking a closer look, he discovered that the big white turtle had swam in front of him from the bottom of the water at some point. It stretched its head high, stared directly at him, and then nodded to him three times.

Just as Fuxi was about to step forward to see what was going on, the big white turtle shrank his head into his stomach and lay motionless by the water.

Fuxi was puzzled, so he squatted down and observed the big white turtle attentively. He found that the pattern on the back of the big white turtle had five pieces in the middle and eight pieces around it. There were twelve pieces in the inner circle and twenty-four in the outer circle. He suddenly felt much brighter.

He picked up the leaf just now and compared the patterns on it. At this time, the principles of Bagua Dao emerged in his mind, and he gradually realized the changing laws of the world and all things.

That's just one yin and one yang. He used a continuous bar "--" as yang and a broken bar "--" as yin. Three bars were combined into a group to draw eight different patterns.

This is gossip!

Each hexagram represents a certain thing, which respectively symbolizes heaven, earth, mountain, lake, thunder, wind, water, and fire, and is represented by eight characters: Qian, Kun, Gen, Dui, Zhen, Xun, Kan, and Li.

And this is gossip!

Fuxi matched the eight trigrams with each other and got sixty-four hexagrams. This is also the acquired trigram that mortals can pry into the secrets of heaven. This kind of trigram is no longer a way, but a method.

A way to spy on the secrets of heaven!

In this way, we can know the origins of why the weather changes in temperature, why the sun and the moon move day and night, what happens when there is wind, rain, lightning, and thunder.

And just after Fuxi created the method of Bagua, Nuwa, who was on the Qishan Mountain, smiled, and then pointed out, countless merits fell from the sky, fell directly into Fuxi's body, and some merits fell on the newly formed Bagua chart. .

As the merits flow, the Bagua Diagram instantly changes from a mortal weapon to a spiritual treasure, and it is also a spiritual treasure of merit and virtue.

After Fuxi understood the Eight Diagrams, another meritorious deed came to him, and he instantly entered the realm of heaven and man, and his mind was immersed in the great road.

The eight forces of heaven, earth, mountains, lakes, thunder, wind, water, and fire are constantly circulating around him. The eight forces and eight changes present the ultimate principles of heaven and earth in front of Fuxi.

On top of the mountain, Donghua looked at Nuwa's movements and asked with a smile: "I wonder how much merit Senior Sister has, yet she is so squandering it?"

Nuwa said: "Not much, not much, can allow a mortal to break through to the pinnacle of quasi-sage."

These words are very light, but there is an impulse that makes people want to take action. It is definitely a huge amount of merit to be able to make a mortal break through to the peak of quasi-sage.

But it's no wonder that Nuwa first created humans and then became the first saint. Later, Nuwa appeared in the sky and reincarnation.

In the prehistoric times, Nuwa could be said to be the richest saint besides Donghua.

Donghua looked at Fuxi below and said, "Actually, Fuxi can still break through without using your merits. Your merits should be used to break through the realm and reach the peak of the third heaven as soon as possible."

Although merit is good, it is of no use to the fourth heaven of Hunyuan. It was still useful before the fourth heaven.

To put it bluntly, Xuanhuang Merit is also a kind of Tao. It is the Xuanhuang Avenue condensed by the power of heaven, so all living creatures in the prehistoric era can be directly refined and absorbed.

But after opening the way to the fourth heaven, this black and yellow avenue has no effect on the realm breakthrough.

Nuwa shook her head and said: "My realm is still poor in the perception of the avenue. The avenue of creation has fallen into a bottleneck. Without an epiphany, it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough."

Donghua didn't say anything about this. Nuwa's creation path has reached its peak. Now she only needs to perfect the other paths, and Sanqing and others are also in this state.

Only Houtu is different. She cultivates four paths, and only four paths, so she only needs the perfection of four paths to open the path.

There is no distinction between two different methods of practice. It just depends on who is practicing the Tao.

However, in terms of all-around, Houtu is naturally not as good as Donghua Sanqing and others.

At this time, Fuxi below has entered the most critical moment, which is to cast the Dao Foundation. This is also the most critical step in the practice of Taiyi realm. If this step can be completed, the door to Daluo will be open.
