Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 187 Determining the Time Sequence of the Primordial Era

Before we knew it, another hundred years had passed.

On this day, Bai Jing, who was discussing the Dao with Nuwa on Yingzhou Fairy Island, suddenly said, "My two Taoist friends, please stop for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa and Tongtian turned to look at Bai Jing at the same time.

“My two fellow Taoists, the human race and the twelve demon fairies of Jiejiao have been getting along quite well. Ever since the great god Pangu created the world, the twelve hours of the day and the twelve months of the year have been fixed. These twelve demon fairies just happen to coincide with the twelve zodiac signs.

Duobao's arrangement should be to seek the position of the Twelve Yuanchen for Jiejiao, so as to share some of the luck and stabilize the luck of Jiejiao.

What I want is to take advantage of the time when the twelve Yuanchen are set to completely set the time of the prehistoric world."

"How is it determined?" Tongtian asked with interest.

Bai Jing did not hide anything and directly told Tongtian his thoughts.

Tongtian's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, how about letting Duobao handle this matter? I owe you a favor."

Bai Jing pretended to be in deep thought when he heard that.

In fact, he told this matter in front of Tongtian in order to give this merit to Tongtian's Jiejiao.

With this merit, plus the things Tongtian had planned before, even if Jiejiao was defeated in the subsequent Battle of the Gods, it would not be completely destroyed as in previous history, with only the two great men, Wu Dang Sheng Mu and Jin Hoop Immortal, surviving.

The most crucial thing is that the calamity of the Conferred Gods is also related to his disciples Sanxiao. The minor trends in the prehistoric world can be changed, but the major trends are difficult to change. The calamity of the Conferred Gods will definitely break out.

In addition, Bai Jing had been planning for Kong Xuan to give birth to the Shang Dynasty with Xuanniao from the very beginning. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Conferred God Tribulation, the Holy Lotus Sect and the Jie Sect were natural allies. Helping the Jie Sect to stabilize its fortune was also a way to prepare for a rainy day for the Holy Lotus Sect and Bai Jing's disciples.

That's why Bai Jing was willing to give this opportunity to Tongtian.

Tongtian saw that Bai Jing hadn't spoken for a long time, and thought that Bai Jing was unwilling, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If you can give me this opportunity, I would like to lend you the Zhuxian Sword Formation for you to see."

Bai Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this. The Zhu Xian Sword Formation is a good thing!

Bai Jing has always been very interested in the Zhu Xian formation diagram. As for the four swords of Killing and Trapping, Bai Jing is not very interested. He is a master of weapon refining, so why should he care about these four swords?
The situation is different with the formation diagram. When Bai Jing was refining the Holy Lotus Purifying World Formation, he had only comprehended 30% of the formation. If he could participate in the Zhu Xian Formation diagram, his understanding of the formation would definitely improve greatly.

Thinking of this, Bai Jing no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.

Master Tongtian was overjoyed. After bowing to Bai Jing, he went to Chendu in person to tell Duobao about the matter.

After receiving instruction from his master, Duobao suddenly became enlightened and immediately called Fuxi to the cave.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?" Fuxi came to the cave, bowed to Duobao and asked.

"Fuxi, after you comprehended the innate eight trigrams, you used divination to calculate when it was best to plant crops. So why don't you use the innate eight trigrams to further deduce and find a fixed time of the year that is more suitable for planting for the human race?"

Fuxi's eyes lit up when he heard this. The teacher was right! If we can use the innate Bagua to deduce a fixed farming season, the entire human race will benefit from it.

It’s just that the concept of time in the ancient times is still very vague, and this is why people often say that the ancients don’t keep track of years.

Thinking of this, Fuxi felt more and more that this matter was a long and arduous journey.

In the following decades, Fuxi used the Eight Trigrams to deduce the seasons.

On this day, a sage of the human race from the ancestral land of Shouyang Mountain came to Chendu on the orders of the third ancestor of the human race.

"Greetings to the common leader." The sage of the human race bowed respectfully to Fuxi.

"No need to be so polite, senior. Did the Third Ancestor give you any instructions for me?" Fuxi asked tentatively.

The human race sage shook his head and said, "It can't be called teaching. It's just that the Third Ancestor recently discovered that our human race lacks the means to remember things.

In the past, our human race was still in its infancy, and although our means of recording were limited, they were sufficient.

But now, our human race is growing and expanding, and our lifestyles are becoming more complex and diverse. The original simple way of communication can no longer meet the growing needs of our people.

The Third Ancestor knew that the Lord's innate eight trigrams had the ability to deduce everything, so he sent me here to let the Lord deduce how our human race should record events in the future. "

After hearing the words of the human sage, Fuxi immediately began to draw a hexagram and soon finished the deduction. He looked at the display on the hexagram and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior, according to the hexagram, in the spring of a certain year in the future, our human race will create its own characters to record events."

"Spring? What does that mean?"

Fuxi smiled and said, "You are the new hope of our human race."

After this hexagram, Fuxi suddenly became enlightened, and in just ten years he perfected the time of the ancient times.

On this day, Fuxi ordered people to build an altar, and he climbed up the altar to pray to the heaven: "Heaven is above, Fuxi of the human race feels that the operation of heaven is flawed, and the flow of time cannot be measured. Today is the time of the prehistoric era.

Ever since the great god Pangu created the world, it has been a given that there are twelve hours in a day and twelve months in a year. However, the climate changes within a year, from cold to warm, and from warm to cold, so there should be four seasons in a year, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter.

There are also climate changes during the four seasons, and the times of climate change are festivals. There are a total of twenty-four solar terms.

The eight solar terms that represent the change from cold to hot are: Beginning of Spring, Spring Equinox; Beginning of Summer, Summer Solstice; Beginning of Autumn, Autumnal Equinox; Beginning of Winter, Winter Solstice. The five solar terms that symbolize the change of temperature are: Lesser Heat, Greater Heat, End of Heat, Lesser Cold, and Greater Cold. The seven solar terms that reflect the amount of precipitation are: Rain Water, Grain Rain, White Dew, Cold Dew, Frost Descent, Light Snow, and Heavy Snow. The four solar terms that reflect phenological phenomena or agricultural activities are: Waking of Insects, Tomb-Sweeping Days, Grain Full, and Grain in Ear.

There are poems to record the changing seasons:

The spring rain stuns the spring and clears the valley, and the summer is full of awns and the summer is hot.

The autumn is cold and the frosts fall, and the winter snow is snowy.

The sun is shining during the day, the moon is bright during the night, the twelve hours of a day are called small hours, and time is recorded using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

The Heavenly Stems are: Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.

Earthly branch: Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Siwu Wu Shen Youxu Hai.

The twelve Earthly Branches are connected with the twelve demon fairies who protect our human race, so I hereby confer the title of the twelve demon fairies as the twelve Yuanchen.

However, the order of the zodiac signs should also have its logic.

Although the rat is small, it is smart and clever, and can survive in difficult times, so it is listed first; the ox is hardworking and pragmatic, working tirelessly for the human race, so it should be ranked second; the tiger is fierce and invincible, protecting the safety of our race, so it should be ranked third; the rabbit is gentle and kind, bringing warmth to our race, so it is ranked fourth; the dragon is mysterious and powerful, symbolizing our race's yearning for the unknown, so it should be ranked fifth; the snake is smart and intelligent, and can help people distinguish between good and evil, so it is ranked sixth; the horse gallops endlessly, helping our race expand its territory, so it is ranked seventh; the sheep is gentle and docile, providing what our race needs, so it is ranked eighth; the monkey is lively and clever, bringing joy to our race, so it is ranked ninth; the chicken is punctual and trustworthy, awakening our race to work, so it is ranked tenth; the dog is loyal and brave, guarding our homeland, so it should be ranked eleventh; the pig is honest and simple, providing nourishment for the human race, so it is ranked twelfth.

The years, seasons, months, days, and hours have been determined. From now on, the ancient world has a regular calendar and clear time sequence. "

"Boom~" As soon as Fuxi finished speaking, the merits of the Heavenly Dao began to gather, auspicious and strange phenomena appeared, and misty purple air enveloped the entire sky.

But the merits of Heaven did not end there, because this matter of establishing the order of the ancient times had to be verified by Heaven.

Then the light of the sun star suddenly burst out, illuminating every corner of the world like daylight.

The Moon, which corresponds to the Sun from afar, also releases moonlight all over the sky, which is not dimmer than the Sun at all.

Under the urging of the Heavenly Dao, the Sun and the Moon began to operate according to the rules set by Fuxi.

All of a sudden, the prehistoric world began to alternate between day and night, the four seasons rotated, and the solar terms changed! Under the evolution and calculation of the mighty power of heaven, the test of the prehistoric calendar lasted for twelve years, just enough to complete one cycle.

In the end, the Way of Heaven responded to Fuxi's work in proving the ancient calendar and setting the time sequence.

Above the sky, the merits of the Heavenly Dao, which had already formed a huge lake, instantly expanded twice as much again.

Afterwards, a huge amount of Heavenly Merit fell from the sky and was divided into three parts. The largest part, about 60%, fell on Fuxi. Fuxi's cultivation level rose all the way from the Golden Immortal to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The remaining 40% was divided into two parts, one part fell on the twelve demon immortals just appointed by Fuxi, and the other part fell on Duobao.

The twelve demon immortals all have the cultivation level of Golden Immortals. With this merit, their cultivation level has been raised by at least two small levels. Later on, they will be able to receive incense and offerings from the human race, and it is only a matter of time before their cultivation level breaks through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Duobao was already at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, and these merits were not enough for him to kill the Good Corpse and break through to the Quasi-Sage Realm. But at this moment, Duobao was still very happy, because with Fuxi's conferring of the Twelve Yuanchen, Duobao could clearly feel that the luck of their Jiejiao had become more stable.

The twelve demon fairies were overjoyed and went to the cave together to thank Duobao.

When Duobao saw the twelve demon fairies coming, he nodded slightly. The Twelve Yuanchen had profound luck and a bright future. They could not only enjoy the incense of the human race, but also give back to the luck of the Jiejiao, thus having the best of both worlds.

Then Duobao said softly: "You have gained this merit, it is really a great opportunity, the blessing is not shallow, in the future you should make more good connections, adhere to the right path, do not have evil thoughts, and do not fall into the devil's way."

The twelve demon fairies responded in unison: "We will follow the teachings of our senior brother and will keep our original intentions and practice in the right way."

Duobao nodded with satisfaction: "Go, practice well, I hope you can achieve Daluo Jinxian one day and enjoy eternal life."

Upon hearing this, the Twelve Demon Immortals bowed respectfully to Duobao, then turned and left.

As the time was determined, the human race once again entered a period of vigorous development, and Fuxi was getting closer and closer to the perfection of his merits.

At this time, Nuwa had no intention of discussing Taoism, and Bai Jing also had no intention of practicing, because Bai Jing had already calculated that Xuanyu's good corpse had been reincarnated and would be born soon.

So Bai Jing and Nuwa left Yingzhou Fairy Island together.

Nuwa was guarding her brother Fuxi, while Bai Jing came to the middle reaches of the Wei River, above a tribe called Jiang Shui.

This tribe has a population of only 10,000 people, which can only be considered a small tribe among the human tribes today.

Although the tribe has a small population, it is quiet and peaceful. The tribesmen make a living by hunting and gathering and lead a simple but fulfilling life.

In the tribe, there was a young girl named Nüdeng. Nüdeng had a slender figure and was very beautiful. Like Fuxi's mother Huaxu, she was pursued by countless young men.

One day, when Nvdeng was sleeping at night, she suddenly dreamed of the scene where Nuwa created humans from clay. Just as she was about to kneel down, she was helped up by the first human created by Nuwa. Nvdeng woke up suddenly and found that she was dreaming. But not long after, Nvdeng was surprised to find that she was pregnant.

As Nv Deng's pregnancy gradually became apparent, voices of criticism began to spread in the tribe, with many people wondering if Nv Deng had been defiled by a monster.

Nüdeng had no choice but to tell her dream.

The tribesmen were shocked when they heard this, and a thoughtful look appeared on their faces. They all thought of Fuxi. It was said that when Fuxi was still in his mother's womb, he also had such a strange vision.
The people of Jiangshui tribe found a monk from a large tribe nearby to examine Nu Deng. After confirming that she was not pregnant with a demon, they began to take good care of her.

Nüdeng was pregnant for twelve years before she gave birth to the child.

On the day the child was born, strange phenomena occurred one after another. Purple air came from the east for 30,000 miles, along with the imperial aura carrying endless majesty, descended from the sky and landed on the child.

The people of the Jiangshui tribe named Nüdeng's child Lieshanshi.

When Lieshan was born, he was different from ordinary people. His stomach took on a strange shape, almost completely transparent. All his internal organs could be seen, and he could see what he ate, as if it contained endless mysteries.

Because there was the example of Fuxi's birth before, everyone in the tribe believed that this was the birth of a great sage and attached great importance to it.

As time went by, Lie Shan gradually grew up. He was very smart since he was young and was full of curiosity about everything around him.

On this day, when Lie Shan was out for fun, he "happened" to meet Bai Jing preaching.

The object of Bai Jing's preaching was the stubborn stone in the mountain. Lieshan found this very interesting. He felt that the teachings of the Taoist in front of him were very profound, but he was speaking to the stubborn stone. How could the stubborn stone understand?
However, what Lieshan did not expect was that as Bai Jing preached, the stubborn stone was gradually moved and eventually turned into a chubby little boy.

Lie Shan opened his mouth in shock! What kind of magical power is this, it can even enlighten a piece of stubborn stone.

Lie Shan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down with a plop: "Please accept me as your disciple, Immortal?"

"Do you know who I am?" Bai Jing asked with interest.

Lie Shan shook his head.

"Then why do you want to take me as your master?"

"Because the immortals can even enlighten stubborn stones, which can be said to be turning decay into magic. I want to learn the immortals' magical powers."

Bai Jing smiled and said, "My magical power is not easy to learn. You must be prepared to endure hardships."

"I'm not afraid!"

"Okay, from today on, you will be my disciple."

On the other side, in Chen Du, Fuxi’s cultivation had already broken through to the Golden Immortal, and he recalled everything from his past life.

The Fuxi of today is not the same as the Fuxi in the original prehistoric history.

Before the reincarnation of the current Fuxi, his original spirit had been almost repaired, making it more like a reincarnation and reconstruction.

Having said that, Fuxi himself has actually let go of his past as the Demon King. For Fuxi now, only the human race and his sister are the most indispensable existences.

As his memory recovered, Fuxi now recalled what Bai Jing had told him about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors before his reincarnation.

He is now the emperor of the human race and is not far from achieving perfection. Therefore, there are two problems facing Fuxi. The first is to do as many practical things as possible for the human race before achieving perfection. The second is to find a suitable successor.

After hesitating for a moment, Fuxi decided to start from Chendu, inspect various human tribes, and help them solve the problems they encountered.

Just as Fuxi left Chenliu, Bai Jing began to teach Lieshan clan.

Naturally, what Bai Jing taught first was the method of cultivation. He passed on "The True Explanation of White Lotus Hunyuan" to Lieshan, and later he personally taught Lieshan how to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and how to use magic.

None of Bai Jing's true disciples enjoyed this treatment.

In addition to training, Bai Jing also taught Lieshan some ways of dealing with people and taught him how to be a qualified manager, making him understand that the prosperity of a tribe does not only rely on military force, but also requires reasonable planning and unity among the tribesmen.

In addition, Bai Jing also understood what was the most crucial point for Lieshan clan to achieve perfection in merit, and he taught Lieshan clan the art of alchemy.

Bai Jing is best at refining equipment, and he only has a basic understanding of alchemy.

But the saint's brief understanding is unattainable for the acquired human race.

Lieshan also showed great interest in alchemy.

Under Bai Jing's careful teaching, Lieshan's cultivation improved day by day. At the age of 10, he was about to break through to the level of Earthly Immortal. His abilities were also recognized and respected by the tribesmen. If he were not so young, he would probably have been the leader of the Jiangshui tribe by now.

Seeing that Lieshan had made some initial progress in his studies, Bai Jing began to plan for the next step. He called Kong Xuan to give him some instructions.

On this day, Lieshan was collecting herbs in the mountains when he suddenly heard the clear sound of a bird singing.

Lieshan looked up and saw a strange bird flying in the sky. The bird's feathers were gorgeous and dazzling, and the colorful feathers were shining with a strange glow under the sunlight.

It has an elegant figure, and its flapping wings bring a breeze, making it impossible to take your eyes off it. What makes Lieshan even more interested is that the bird is holding a bunch of colorful rice ears in its mouth. The rice ears have full grains and emit an enticing aroma.

This bird was naturally found by Kong Xuan. It was transformed from an elder of the Phoenix clan and was ordered to guide the Lieshan clan.

Lieshan was attracted by the divine bird, and even more by the rice ears it was holding. He approached the divine bird cautiously, fearing to frighten it.

The divine bird seemed to sense Jiang Kui's kindness and landed steadily on the branch of a big tree.

Upon seeing this, Lieshan slowly stretched out his hands, signaling the divine bird to hand over the rice ears in its mouth to him.

The divine bird blinked its lively eyes and gently opened its beak, and the bunch of rice ears fell steadily into Lieshan's hands.
