Chapter 1501: Banquet of Ghosts
He was beating a drum in his heart.
Ji Chang smiled and said: "Without the title of Zhou Guofang Bo, I am just an old man. Now I am responsible for the lives and future of nine good young people. Isn't this the best thing?"
I don’t know if the king is willing to exchange nine protons for me and return home safely.
If he is willing, that is best. If he is not willing, then there will be other ways to cope with the unwillingness. "
"Many allies focus on you, but you have to give up the name of Zhou Guofang Bo and exchange your old age for nine worthless protons to be safe and sound -" Qu was halfway through his words when he suddenly understood what Ji Chang was doing. True meaning!
He was shocked all over, his face was full of shame, and he was speechless!
He suddenly understood that Uncle Zhou's response was the correct response, and it was a perfectly coherent response without any mistakes or omissions!
It’s just that most people can’t think of such a response!
Su Wu's eyes were deep, and he understood better that since King Zhou Wen had made such a response, he must have such a strategy to deal with failure.
Behind him, Zhou State must be better prepared.
Although Ji Fa is young, among the Qiang people who have been used as blood food and sacrifice for hundreds of thousands of years, there should be an outstanding person emerging at this time. This person should be the Jiang family, named Ziya!
If we give the Zhou Kingdom a few more years, there may be no distinction between the strong and the weak between the Zhou Kingdom and the Great Shang. By then, it will still be unclear who will rule the world!
"You taught me the changes in Yi Dao, which will be of great use to me, and may help me see the situation ahead clearly.
Since your eldest son is now imprisoned in Yindu, I can join hands with you to help you rescue Kao. Su Wu looked serious and said to Ji Chang.
When Ji Chang heard this, he shook his head repeatedly: "You are not a person in this world, but a person outside the well. How can I let you interfere in this matter?
What's more, I don't need help from others to save my exam.
When you are outside the well, observing the things inside is like observing the light of fire in the dark night. Everything has left traces over the years, and you already know what the ‘answer’ is.
But those of us inside the well also have different answers in our hearts.
If you bring the correct answer into the well and make everyone in the well agree with you, wouldn't you become the next Cangtian?
The reason why the old man evolved into Yi Dao is to gain insight into the original operating laws of the universe, so that humanity can always have the strength to resist the evil spirits that are overwhelming humanity, but it is not to allow Yi Dao to replace the sky and become the next stiff and gloomy sky. "
"I understand what you mean." Su Wu heard this, with a solemn expression on his face, and bowed deeply to the old man.
He straightened up and said to the old man: "Although I don't know what the 'answer' is in your mind, people like you must believe in yourself and are unwilling to rely on external forces to achieve your vision.
However, if you can't save Kao now and your eldest son dies, won't you regret it? "
Ji Chang thought about it seriously and nodded: "When the armies and gods of the Dayi merchants invaded the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, Kao volunteered as a hostage and was imprisoned in the Yin capital by the Shang army, just because he felt that his younger brother was too young to be difficult to bear. Bear the cruel punishment of the merchant.
He made his choice and naturally had the courage to face the consequences of such a choice.
The same is true for the old man who made such a choice.
If I can't save Kao and change the current situation, I won't regret not accepting your help now. "
"good."
Su Wu nodded: "I will not interfere in the secular war between Shang and Zhou, but there is a dispute over the legal system of 'Cangtian', which is fundamentally related to the survival of humanity in later generations, and is deeply involved in my life, but I It cannot be ignored.
——This is all I can promise you. "
"As long as you have a clear conscience." Ji Chang said this before bowing goodbye to Su Wu, "I will now set off to the palace to meet the king.
If I can still complete the transformation of Yi Dao, I will also pass on the remaining forty hexagrams to you through the Qi Shu of Yi Dao. "
When Su Wu heard this, he bowed his head and thanked her.
He looked at Ji Chang's back and fell into deep thought.
Taking the first twenty-four hexagrams of the changes in the Yi Dao as passed down by King Wen at that time, they can be said to be all-encompassing and have already penetrated the essence of things. Even if Su Wu’s current practice is used as a blueprint and the "Book of Changes" that has been circulated in later generations is used as a blueprint, Su Wu also It is absolutely impossible to deduce this original "Twenty-Four Hexagrams of Changes in the Way of Change".
King Wen Jichang's ability to deduce these twenty-four hexagrams is of course related to his own talent. He is the most suitable candidate to inherit and deduce the "Fuxi Bagua" at the moment, but it is also related to his own level of practice - not seeing the innocence of heaven. In this regard, even those who have explored the origin of the way of heaven have no way to deduce the changes in the way of change, so that they can in turn include the way of heaven!
And the level of cultivation that can directly see the true face of the universe and explore the roots of heaven is only the "human king level" demonstrated by King Wen Jichang, but it is far from enough!
Ji Chang is the origin of Yi Dao, which has been the orthodox teaching in this world and even in future generations for thousands of years!
For this reason, as the founder of Xianxue, his practice must have surpassed the human king, surpassed the realm of "this shore" and "crossing the river" in later generations, or existed on the other shore.
However, the presence of the other side exists throughout the past and future.
Time is like a river surrounding them, but it cannot cause them to get stuck in it and drift with the current.
However, the current King Wen Jichang did not show such a presence that penetrated the past, future and present. He did not know the scene of the future, but only inferred Su Wu's identity as a "latecomer" and "outsider" based on the breath shown by Su Wu.
Why is this?
Is it because there is no "three absences" in the present world?
So Jichang has never stepped on the other side, so there is no way to talk about penetrating the past, future and present - this reason was denied by Su Wu in an instant.
For example, the ancestors of Maoshan, such as Tao Zu, did not have the "three absences" in the era they lived in. There was no distinction between this and that. There was only the vast Yuan River covering everything. However, Tao Zu was severely injured and still evolved his body into the underworld, while his Yuanshen found an opportunity in the future and reached this side in one fell swoop!
The power of time is still evident in Tao Zu, but when he was at his peak, he was only half a step away from jumping out of time and penetrating the past, future and present. In fact, when he was at his peak, he might even be a person who could reach the other side!
The feeling that King Wen Jichang gave Su Wu with these twenty-four hexagrams alone was stronger than that of Tao Zu.
Then the founder of Yi Dao should be at least at the same level as Tao Zu.
If the reason is not here, is it because people like Ji Chang, although they can reach the other side, eventually fell? And the Ji Chang that he saw at the moment was just a historical image?
Su Wu's thoughts raced, and in the blink of an eye he denied this possibility.
If they can reach the other shore, they can be called "once proved, forever proved" - their destruction must be thorough, all causes and effects are cut off, and all possibilities of "resurrection from the dead" are gone. But the current King Wen Jichang still has the strength of a human king, and most importantly, he still has the "root of the Yi Dao". Since this root exists, he cannot really be destroyed. If he is not destroyed, he should not be in such a "weak" state as presented to Su Wu at the moment!
So, where is this root cause?
Su Wu turned around and operated the twenty-four hexagrams passed down by King Wen. One possibility after another, a trace of traces was quickly constructed in front of his eyes, and he calculated them, and then kept the useful ones and eliminated the useless ones.
Ghosts and Buddhas, the souls of the Three Pure Ones, the various tribes of the Three Pure Ones, and the horrors of the other shore, etc., are not seen in the current world.
Although it cannot be ruled out whether they are isolated from this world, it can be confirmed that their breath has never been connected with the heaven of this world.
From this point of view, can this world not accommodate the existence of the ‘other shore’ and ‘the other shore’?
The real body of Ji Chang, who is on the other shore, is actually wandering outside this world - the real world can naturally accommodate the other shores and those who are on the other shore, but the world deep in his heart is not the real world, but a ‘man-made illusion’?
This illusion excludes ghosts and Buddhas, the Three Pure Ones, and the horrors of the other shore.
Perhaps the Qi of Ji Chang, who is on the other shore, should also be excluded - but there are other forces interfering with the illusion itself, so that it has to accommodate the fundamental Qi of Ji Chang?
In Su Wu's body, the wheel of heaven is rumbling.
The twenty-four hexagrams of the change of the way of change are added to the operation of the wheel of heaven in his body. That weight has expanded more and more, almost becoming the only fundamental wheel of heaven for Su Wu himself. Under the overlapping of the twenty-four hexagrams of the change of the way of change, a trace of the charm of heaven is disintegrated.
The part that belongs to the will of heaven still remains in the wheel of heaven.
The part that belongs to the way of change, on the wheel of heaven, is winding into a series of eight trigrams symbols - the wheel of heaven is covered with more and more eight trigrams symbols, and finally becomes a thing that looks like an eight trigrams mirror.
Su Wu's heart is immersed in the eight trigrams mirror.
His "eyes" fell on the center of the eight trigrams mirror, and with the help of the bright mirror light, he saw the "world outside the body" and the "world outside the game" - the dense spider-like causal web surrounded him one after another, and he became a thread floating on the causal web.
The drinkers at the wine stall at the gate of Yindu are just one of the threads on the countless causal webs.
The many countries such as Da Shang, Zhou, Pu, etc. are causal webs formed by many threads intertwined - these many causal webs covered Su Wu's body and imprisoned him tightly.
And at the top of all the webs, a spider with a young girl's face was walking on it.
The 'spider' slowly slid down from the top along the silk thread of the web, and turned into a girl who was already six or seven years old, standing beside Su Wu - the twenty-four hexagrams of the Yi Dao gathered the 'Yi Li' disassembled from the wheel of the Heavenly Dao in Su Wu's body, and gathered into the traces of the ancient beginning of the eyes between Su Wu's eyebrows, his own dark breath, the faint hair by his ears, and the ancient beginning in the shadow under his feet.
They changed and operated due to various Yi Li, and finally made up for Su Wu's mirror flower shadow.
This hazy shadow was hidden in the vicissitudes of time, and it squatted beside Su Wu - Su Wu used its shadow to see the place where he was and the scene outside - the real game played by Xiang Er.
There were crowds of people at the feet of the young girl 'Xiang Er'.
Countless figures gathered at its feet, forming the continent beneath it. All of them stretched out their hands and lifted up Su Wu's body.
Su Wu looked at the densely packed and almost endless figures spreading out under him, and sensed a fresh breath from them.
They were all living people!
They lifted up Su Wu's body, and the blood flowing in their bodies protruded on their respective bodies, flowing along their arms and palms, winding around Su Wu's body, and connecting with Su Wu's own roots. From the perspective of a bystander, the moment he saw this scene, Su Wu understood what the people who lifted him up represented.
They represented Huashan.
They also represented the roots of humanity!
They wanted to lift up a human king to support the broken world for them and create a new world, but this human king could only fall down in vain and became the main dish on the table of the terrifying aliens.
When Su Wu thought of this, a deep sense of guilt almost pierced his mind!
And Xiang Er stood beside Su Wu's body, and the countless palms that lifted up the "human king" became the table for Xiang Er and many terrifying creatures to eat and enjoy this "unprecedented human king".
A figure with three heads and six arms, surrounded by the charm of "nothingness", sat at the main seat of this "dining table".
The Buddha, whose whole body seemed to be made of pure gold and whose back was a bright golden sun, tore open the layers of the causal network and also came to the side of the dining table.
A snake's tail tore through the net and coiled around Su Wu's neck on the dining table.
In the cracks torn by the snake's tail, a graceful figure was faintly outlined.
Cracks surrounded the dining table, and in those cracks, there was a terrifying and fierce aura flowing, outlining a series of figures that connected the sky and the earth!
These fierce and strange creatures who stayed on the other side tore open Xiang'er's causal network and shared the food on Xiang'er's dining table together - and on Xiang'er's dining table, the so-called food was actually Su Wu himself - his chest and abdominal cavity had been completely torn apart, his heart was stuffed into his thin chest by Xiang'er, and his lungs were fought over by Xiang'er and the Three Pure Ones.
The ghost Buddha put his hands together. On the wrists of his hands, there was an intestinal tract wrapped around it, and on the top was a slightly moving stomach.
A dense spider web covered Su Wu's liver, and in a crack across the causal web, thousands of thunders intertwined like teeth, and a dragon-like claw stretched out from the crack and hooked the liver surrounded by layers of causal webs!
Many horrors competed for Su Wu's internal organs and even his body!
And because Xiang Er had the upper hand, he was now in its hands, and the internal organs that he was trying to compete for occupied most of them - perhaps it was not Xiang Er's original intention to attract a group of ghosts to share Su Wu's food, but since these horrors had torn the causal web and descended here, it was completely impossible for Xiang Er to send them back!
