Practice begins with using the Six Dings and Six Jias
Chapter 480 496 Xuanyuan Emperor
“The human race’s writing comes from heaven and earth.”
“This is destiny! Destiny!”
Cangjie raised the animal skin in his hand, looked at the words he had created on it, and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
With writing, human history is no longer a rootless tree, and things from the past and present can be passed down into the future.
The same is true with knowledge.
History and knowledge are the two wheels of civilization development.
Only by knowing history can you have a sense of identity and understand who your bloodline inherits from.
Only by passing on knowledge can continuous development be possible, and later generations can go further by standing on the foundation laid by their predecessors.
“Thank you, thank you.” After laughing, Cangjie turned around to thank Xu Qing and the others.
Although Xu Qing and others did not provide Cangjie with specific characters, they gave him an idea of creating characters.
Sometimes, an idea determines the direction and success or failure of things.
As long as Cangjie continued in this direction, he would eventually be able to create his own writing system.
Xu Qing and others did not accept the thanks from Cangjie, the saint who created Chinese characters.
“Without us, our predecessors would have figured out this method one day and created our own language.”
In history, it has been established that Cangjie created characters.
So even without them, Cangjie would have eventually created his own writing system.
They dare not claim the credit for it.
“No, no, no, even if I eventually come up with this idea, it will definitely take a very long time.”
Cangjie still maintained the utmost gratitude towards Xu Qing and others.
Seeing this, Xu Qing said:
“Why don’t we help you sort out these words?”
They could not provide specific text.
But there is no problem in helping out on the side.
It is just like when they assisted Emperor Yu in kneading clay into bricks, and then threw those thick clay bricks into the Huai River.
“Good good.”
When it comes to creating characters, Cangjie now has endless motivation.
Xu Qing helped move all the animal skins out of the thatched hut.
Spread out on the ground one by one.
There were no tables at this time, so they all sat on the floor.
With ideas in mind, Cangjie’s thoughts flowed like a stream, and he constantly abstracted various specific things in his mind into words.
“Look, this is ‘sword’. Speaking of swords, the most famous sword in the world is the Xuanyuan Sword of the current emperor.”
“This is the character for ‘cloud’. Clouds in the sky are floating, so it should float in the sky with changing curves.”
“As for rain, there are clouds first and then rain. The word for rain has a few more dots under the word for cloud. This is rain.”
Cangjie’s old body was filled with endless motivation and excitement. Every time he created a character, he would share it with Xu Qing and others.
Occasionally, this word would lead people to talk about the various events and rumors about the ancient continent.
Of course Xu Qing and the others were happy to hear these things, as they gave them a certain understanding of the prehistoric continent of this era.
Besides, they could not participate in the process of creating characters.
At most, when Cangjie felt stuck, he would discuss with him, brainstorm and find solutions.
The writing system of later generations has actually undergone several changes.
It is very different from the characters created by Cangjie.
Since Xu Qing and others have no influence on the creation of characters, it is sometimes difficult to provide ideas.
But they came from later generations after all.
Being able to provide Cangjie with different ideas will always trigger Cangjie’s inspiration.
During the period when Cangjie created characters.
Xu Qing and his colleagues are mainly responsible for transcription and editing.
After a long time, I actually enjoy it.
Just like making bricks from thick soil during the time of Emperor Yu.
Participating in these things will not bring them much danger, but it is a real participation in history.
In particular, they all realized the benefits of this matter to them.
So no one was dissatisfied because of the urgency in their hearts.
But as time went by, Cangjie became distressed.
The words he is creating now are becoming fewer and more difficult.
I need to think hard for a long time every day before I can put pen to paper.
After putting pen to paper, I scribbled and drew more, but in the end it didn’t take shape.
This day.
Cangjie suddenly threw away the charred wood left in his hand.
“No. One person’s wisdom cannot create an entire writing system.”
“I need to get more people involved, work together and bring together everyone’s opinions.”
“The writing system of the human race should be the writing system of the entire human race, not just the writing system of Cangjie alone.”
Thinking of this, Cangjie became excited again.
“We organize the words we created and the ideas that led to their creation.”
“These characters are the foundation. With this foundation, it won’t be as difficult for others to create new characters as it was for me!”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Sort out all the words I created.”
“Okay.” Xu Qing and others did not dare to neglect.
Assisted Cangjie to record all the created characters on a huge piece of animal skin.
In addition to the text, this animal skin also records Cangjie’s thoughts when he created characters, as well as his conversations with Xu Qing and others.
When all the words were carved into the animal skin.
Suddenly, everyone heard thunder in the sky.
But it was different from the last warning from Heaven.
This thunder seemed more like announcing something to the whole world.
The powerful people from the prehistoric continent looked towards where Cangjie was.
Kunlun.
Nowadays, there is no Heavenly Palace, no Human Emperor, and all the immortals live in famous mountains and rivers.
Among them, Kunlun is the hometown of all immortals, and the largest number of immortals live in the mountain.
At this time, these immortals were also attracted by the movement of the Heavenly Dao.
Lingshan.
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cast their glances over there.
“Humanitarian merit?”
Hell.
The King of Fengdu and the Ten Kings of Hell looked over across the barriers of the world.
Wuzhuang Guan
Fire Cloud Cave
The sacred beings from various Taoist temples were all attracted by the movement of the Heavenly Dao.
Xu Qing and others felt a little scalp-tingling.
They are considered “smugglers” and who knows what will happen to them if they are noticed by so many powerful people.
Especially the period from the creation of the world to the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, is the stage when the world is moving towards stability.
Even the causal monsters find it difficult to go upstream along the causal path.
They also have the power of the incarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Yu.
And his magic talismans are very special.
Just walked all the way here.
Otherwise, Patriarch Xuanzhen had been planning for a thousand years but had never been able to reach the time point before the Conferred God Ceremony.
In the end, he had to rely on the power of Leiyin Buddha Kingdom to barely reach the period when the immortals and gods disappeared.
At this moment, Xu Qing’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
A flash of lightning struck his mind, and he finally realized something.
If Patriarch Xuanzhen had not reached the time when the immortals and gods disappeared before this.
Then, how could the first ancestor of Yuanfu Temple send them so accurately to the time when the dragon clan and the causal monsters started the war?
Xu Qing suddenly realized what he had overlooked. He had always thought that many of the arrangements were chess pieces played by Xuan Zhen Patriarch.
But maybe that’s not the case
Thinking of this, an idea flashed through Xu Qing’s mind.
However, before this idea could grow in his mind.
A powerful thunder suddenly exploded in the sky above their heads, announcing the birth of human writing.
Boom——!
Then a golden beam of light descended from the sky.
The beam of light split in mid-air.
The largest part of it fell on Cangjie.
A very small part fell on Xu Qing and others.
“This is…” Xu Qing’s eyes flickered strangely, “the merit of heaven in creating characters.”
really!
Just as he thought, the talisman guided him here just to share the merit of creating characters!
This is one of the most important merits of Confucianism.
When the merit of creating characters falls.
Xu Qing could clearly feel that the magic talisman was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Not only the magic talisman that originally stopped at the threshold of the sixth level, but also the strange thing that was bred in the magic talisman space.
When the power of the three religions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism was taught.
Both of these things have changed.
It is approaching a breakthrough.
But
not enough.
These merits alone are not enough for these two things to complete their final transformation.
More merit is needed in creating characters.
After all, during the process of Cangjie creating characters.
Xu Qing and his team didn’t pay much.
It just provided Cangjie with ideas and discussed with him when he had no inspiration.
Very little is paid for it.
It is not easy to be able to share a little bit of the merit of creating characters.
The merits were not enough for the advancement of the magic talisman and the strange thing in the magic talisman space was finally born.
Xu Qing was not panicked.
He really could not share much of the merit of creating characters.
But he may be able to participate in the subsequent merits.
Once words are created, they need to be used.
This also involves communication!
Spreading the characters created by Cangjie can also gain merit.
Although the merit will not be more than when Cangjie created characters, it should be able to complete the promotion of his magic talisman and the birth of the strange thing in the magic talisman space.
“Junior brother.”
Xu Qing was lost in thought and completely forgot about the current situation until Wei Haoran’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
“Brother, will we be okay?”
“Will those immortals and saints notice us?”
Xu Qingcai suddenly woke up, and at this moment countless immortals and saints were looking over here.
For a moment, the feeling of electric shock spread throughout the body.
“It’s normal to be discovered, don’t worry.” Master Zhen spoke in a deep voice at this time.
“But now there is the power of the Heavenly Dao, which obscures the secrets of Heaven, and ordinary immortals will not discover our existence.”
“As for those high-ranking officials, such as the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods, whether they can sense our presence or not, I guess they can sense our presence.”
“But we may not be able to find out that we are from later generations.”
“Why?” Wei Haoran asked.
“Because of merit.” Patriarch Xuanzhen said lightly.
“If we were discovered before this, we would have been confirmed as people from the future, but because of the merits of the Great Heavenly Dao, we are people of this world.”
Xu Qing, Wei Haoran and Jing Qing did not feel relieved after hearing what Grandmaster Xuan Zhen said.
After all, what Grandmaster Xuan Zhen said was just speculation.
For those higher beings, their existence has exceeded their imagination.
Therefore, even Master Xuanzhen could not be sure whether they could be found to be people from later generations.
“Huh” Xu Qing let out a breath.
“Whether we find out or not, we have no choice but to move forward.”
On the other side, Cangjie felt the merit bestowed by Heaven and was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
This shows that the way of heaven approved the characters he created.
It comes from heaven and earth, and is recognized by the laws of nature.
This undoubtedly proves that what he has done is correct.
“Senior.” Xu Qing said at the right time, “It is indeed difficult to create words, but words need to be used.”
“We need to spread the texts created by our predecessors and have them recognized.”
“That’s how words can really work.”
“That’s right, that’s right!” Cangjie came back to his senses and suppressed his excitement.
“The creation of writing is only the first step. Only when it is widely used can it be considered that writing is truly useful.”
Cang Jie quickly rolled up the animal skin in his hand.
After being baptized by merit, the animal skin that records the created characters is no longer an ordinary animal skin.
But it is a spiritual treasure of acquired merit.
“Let’s go, let’s go back to the Xuanyuan tribe! Only with the power of the Human Emperor can the text be spread to all the tribes.”
Cangjie looked very anxious.
Xu Qing and others helped on the side, carrying several rolls of animal skins on their backs.
Following Cangjie’s guidance, Xu Qing and others set off on a cloud and headed towards the Xuanyuan tribe.
At this time, the Xuanyuan tribe was the largest tribe in the Jiuzhou continent.
After destroying Chiyou, Xuanyuan was elected by the people and recognized by heaven and earth, and became the emperor of mankind.
Now he rules the world, and even the immortals have to bow down to him when they see him.
From afar, Xu Qing and others saw a tribe above the white clouds, with the wildness unique to the primitive continent and the vigorous vitality of the newly emerged civilization.
The wild and vigorous aura that hits you in the face makes you feel as if you are facing a terrifying giant beast.
“This is the Xuanyuan tribe, the largest human tribe in the Jiuzhou Continent, and also the place where the Human Emperor resides.”
Cangjie pointed proudly at the tribe in front of him.
He himself was from the Xuanyuan tribe.
He was naturally proud of the strength of the Xuanyuan tribe.
Xu Qing and the others were no strangers to Xuanyuan Human Emperor.
They are all familiar with the deeds of this Human Emperor in later generations.
Now that they can meet the Xuanyuan Emperor, they are all very excited.
Under the leadership of Cangjie, Xu Qing and his companions entered the Xuanyuan tribe unimpeded.
At this time, the tribes had not yet formed clearly defined hierarchies like those of later dynasties.
In addition, Cangjie had a high status in the Xuanyuan tribe.
When Cangjie returned to the Xuanyuan tribe, he was led directly before the Human Emperor.
Xu Qing and others looked at the man in front of them with a strong physique, regular features, and a proud and arrogant look.
He was in a high position, full of the majesty of an emperor, but he did not make people feel overbearing.
Instead, there is a gentleness that makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Xu Qing and the others then saw that the sword beside him had the sun, moon and stars engraved on one side and mountains, rivers and plants on the other. The hilt had farming and animal husbandry techniques written on one side and the strategy for unifying the world on the other, emitting a golden glow.
When it comes to swords of immortality, naturally the four swords of Zhuxian by Master Tongtian have the greatest killing power.
But when it comes to the sword of humanity, the Xuanyuan Sword is naturally the most powerful.
“Cangjie, are you back?”
Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Cangjie who was brought in and laughed out loud.
“Quick, show me the words you created.”
As the emperor of mankind, he naturally felt something when Cangjie created the human language. (End of this chapter)
