Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 190 The place of inheritance and enlightenment!

moment……

"Three seniors, please come this way."

For the sake of caution, Xia Ye brought the old Taoist priest and the other two to a quiet room in a wooden house he had prepared deep in the forest. Like the villa, this room was also usually hidden and required a special key to reveal itself.

This was originally where he planned to use as a temporary retreat, and there were many energy structures set up around it to gather the energy of heaven and earth. And now that they were discussing top secrets and had to ensure absolute secrecy, this was naturally the most appropriate place.

"Um……"

"This place is nice."

When seeing the wooden house take shape and feeling the wonderful aura within it, even the old Taoist's eyes lit up, and Zhang Huaiyi and Tian Jinzhong were even more stunned.

"Xia Xiaoyou, are you also proficient in Qi Bureau?"

Among the three elders present, only Tian Jinzhong was unclear about Xia Ye's "true identity" and his abilities, so he asked curiously with surprise in his eyes.

"I know a little bit, but I dare not say I know everything."

Xia Ye smiled slightly, then pushed open the door and invited the three elders in. At the same time, he took out four cushions from the side and placed them for the three of them.

"Three seniors, please."

After the three of them sat down in three parties, he filled the remaining vacancy. After he sat down, Tian Jinzhong finally couldn't help asking:
"I say, what is the identity of this little friend Xia? Shouldn't you tell me now?"

"Well..."

Speaking of this topic, the old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi looked at Xia Ye at the same time. Their meaning was very clear. It would be best for Xia Ye to explain this matter himself.

Up to this point, Xia Ye has completely seen through the attitude of the Tianshi Mansion towards him and the things they have done to him. Obviously, the old Tianshi did not regard this matter as a "disaster", and he even believed that this was the "trend of the times."

In fact, this is indeed the case. In the eyes of the old Taoist priest, what the company is doing now is not in line with the laws of nature. It is a forced suppression, which is an act against the will of heaven...

After all, aliens and ordinary people are of the same kind and race. There is a part of you in me and a part of me in you. The descendants of ordinary people may be aliens, and the descendants of aliens may also be ordinary people. There is no distinction between you and me on both sides, so how can they be completely "separated"?
Therefore, this kind of forced suppression and hiding behavior may be effective in the short term and can reduce a lot of trouble, but in the long run it is bound to fail. After all, the times are developing, and scientific and technological research cannot always not involve the "Alien Field"...

Just like the American Behemoth.

Regardless of whether they admit it or not, the future development trend has been determined and has long been in front of the world's top leaders. Whether to maintain the status quo or make changes is a question that all top leaders need to think about.

Of course, both the old Taoist priest and Xia Ye could understand that the past few decades in the country had indeed been a period of gradual transition from turbulence to stability, and suppressing aliens was a necessary measure to maintain social stability, which was nothing wrong.

But today, the whole society has tended to be stable and the world is generally peaceful, so this kind of suppression has become increasingly meaningless. Instead of suppressing it blindly and worrying about the problem breaking out one day and being at a loss, it is better to start guiding and gradually revealing the truth from now on, and prepare for the great era of aliens that is destined to come in the future!
Therefore, as the saying goes, "follow the trend and follow the will of heaven", what Xia Ye did was nothing more than adding an extra push. The old Taoist priest had no reason to stop him, and it was even in line with his wishes...

If we think further, if what Xia Ye is promoting can be finally completed, it will only bring more benefits than disadvantages to the Tianshi Mansion. After all, in the case of all the extraordinary people in the country, these orthodox cultivation traditions with hundreds or thousands of years of history are extremely precious, and will definitely be a symbol of "national strength" in the future!
As long as the company doesn’t discover that Tianshi Mansion is involved in the early stages, why not do it?
At this moment……

"So, Old Master, can I understand that... you support what I do?"

Seeing three pairs of eyes converging on him, Xia Ye smiled slightly, and then stared at the old Taoist priest with burning eyes. This was very important to him.

"Of course, saying 'support' may not be a good idea. Let me put it another way. As long as I don't go too far and cause harm to the country and the people, will the Tianshi Mansion not interfere?"

He added some specific conditions and asked again.

"What do you mean?"

Hearing this, Tian Jinzhong was stunned and confused, then he looked at his senior brother again.

The old Heavenly Master narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, looked at him deeply, and responded calmly: "As long as you can avoid harming innocent people and do not become an evildoer, the Heavenly Master's Mansion will naturally have no reason to intervene."

"Okay, your words are enough!"

Since the old master has expressed his opinion, Xia Ye is naturally relieved. Although the old master has a mischievous nature, his words are always decisive in matters of the world. After all, practitioners who are truly on the path of cultivation must implement the word "sincerity" in order to move forward steadily...

What's more, now that he has saved Tian Jinzhong, he has some favor in the eyes of the old Taoist priest.

So, he repeated everything he had told Zhang Huaiyi before, and said that he was the leader of the "masked man". They wanted to "liberate the aliens" and promote the process of "global alienization", which was the ultimate goal.

Of course, just in case, Xia Ye did not reveal everything, but only explained his philosophy and the reasons for his past actions in the Northeast and the bunker, and gave a general explanation...

As for the future stationing on Nasen Island and the current plan against the company, he did not say anything, and there was no need to say it. After all, his goal was only to win over the Tianshi Mansion and prevent the old Tianshi, the best in the world, from interfering. As long as the old Tianshi did not take action, everything else would not be a problem!
"I see……"

Even so, after hearing his explanation, Tian Jinzhong was still surprised.

"You young people nowadays...are you so brave?!"

But then he thought again, this kid's talent is so high that he can even catch up with his senior brother, so he felt it was normal:

"That's right, it really is the case that the waves behind push the waves ahead!"

It can be seen that not only the old Taoist priest and Zhang Huaiyi, but even Tian Jinzhong has no objection to this. This is no wonder. After all, everyone is an extraordinary person. Who doesn't want an environment that is more conducive to the survival of extraordinary people?
Looking at the old Taoist priest again, he had not known before this that Xia Ye's ambitions were so lofty and his goals and actions were so clear. He could not help but look up to this boy again and a smile appeared on his face.

then……

"Well, Huaiyi, now that young friend Xia has finished answering his questions, it's your turn. Tell me, what were you thirty-six troublemakers thinking back then, and what secrets did you hide?" The old Taoist looked at Zhang Huaiyi again.

At the same time, Xia Ye also focused his attention and looked at Zhang Huaiyi. He was also very concerned about the truth of the "Jia Shen Rebellion" that year. There must be many top secrets hidden in it!
"Um……"

Hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi lowered his head and after thinking for a moment:
"Regarding what happened back then, it's actually like this..."

……

……

1944 spring.

Qinling.

Inside a cave deep in the Twenty-Four Section Valley.

"Everyone, am I, Feng Yao, qualified to swear brotherhood with you?"

When Wu Gensheng revealed his real name and explained his life story, all thirty-five people present were shocked.

But soon...

"hey-hey……"

Everyone grinned again. Since this guy was so honest, they naturally would not argue anymore. They all stood up, bowed, and performed the ceremony of swearing brotherhood.

(44-year-old Wu Gensheng)
In this way, the "36 thieves" of later generations and the "36 righteous men" of the present officially became sworn brothers, and began to talk about their birth dates and months, and determined their respective rankings...

“I don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day!”

When the oath of brotherhood was made, the thirty-six people looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

moment……

"Brother, you brought us all here just to swear brotherhood with us?"

Fengping, who has always had a hot temper and likes to speak his mind directly, asked immediately with curiosity on his face.

"If that's all, there's no need for us to run so far. Can't we just find a secluded place?"

Although everyone knew that Wu Gensheng was the head of Quan Xing Sect and had a special status, and that he had to be cautious when traveling with him, there was no need to hide so deeply...

So, everyone started thinking about it and soon realized that the matter was not simple. They turned to look at Wu Gensheng, waiting for his response.

(Fengping Fire Style)
"Ha ha!"

"Brothers and sisters, you have guessed correctly. I have gathered you all here not just to form a sworn brotherhood with you, but also to share a great fortune with you!"

Wu Gensheng couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw this.

"good fortune?"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he immediately said:
"Do you remember... the 'puzzle' I gave you when you entered the valley?"

"What is a human being?"

"Cheng!"

“Is there a solution now?”

"Hey, this one is easy, I've already figured it out!"

At this time, Gu Jiting suddenly smiled, stood up and said.

"It's too late to figure it out now, the rankings have already been decided, and I can't be your big brother anymore (we made a bet that whoever figured it out first would be the big brother)..."

As he spoke, he walked to the center of the crowd.

"But at least my skill of 'observation' was not in vain. I have already seen it!"

Having said this, he grinned and turned his head to look around at everyone:

"You should remember that the whole canyon ahead is helping people to practice 'Three Vehicle Power', right? This is one of the keys to solving the puzzle!"

"We all have deep cultivation, so we don't feel this very deeply. But have any of you paid attention to the monkeys that followed us into the valley? Has anyone noticed... what happened to them after they reached the end?"

As a master of the art of observation, Gu Jiting is accustomed to taking a panoramic view and observing closely, especially after entering this strange valley. He did not miss anything in it, and it was all in his eyes.

As for the others...

"This……"

Most people were immersed in the wonders of the valley and paid no attention to the monkeys, so they could not help scratching their heads.

Only a few people like Zhou Sheng and Zhang Huaiyi, who were good at meditation and accustomed to observation, narrowed their eyes and looked thoughtful.

“They seem to… stand up!”

After a moment, Zhou Sheng answered first, and everyone suddenly realized that they had indeed seen the monkeys stand up, but they did not take it seriously. "Yes, this is the answer to 'What is a human being?' After completing the 'Three Vehicle Powers' through the Qi Bureau in the Valley, the Du Channels of those monkeys were opened up, and they had the same cultivation posture as humans. The manifestation of this change is that they stand on their feet and their backs are no longer arched!"

"Um……"

"I understand now. 'What is a human being' means 'to stand tall and proud'!"

Everyone present was a genius in cultivation and had extraordinary comprehension. Just this one reminder was enough, and Feng Ping, who was impatient, was the first to speak.

"That's right! This is the answer to 'What is a human being?'"

"Ha ha……"

Wu Gensheng watched from the side and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"What about 'Cheng'?"

Fengping asked again.

"'Sincerity' is even simpler. You should think about the true purpose of these twenty-four sections of the valley and what kind of people it can help the most..."

Gu Jiting smiled slightly.

"There is no doubt that this is a canyon that can help ordinary people circulate Qi and open up their Du channel. If ordinary people suddenly gain Qi... what will happen?"

"Um……"

After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads to think, and then they understood.

"So that's how it is. If an ordinary person suddenly gains extraordinary power, the most likely result is that he will have 'distracted thoughts'. And from the end of the canyon to here, there is a complicated and confusing cave. If one's mind is not sincere and deviates from the straight trunk due to the distracting thoughts, one will get lost in it!"

Zhou Sheng said, and Gu Jiting nodded immediately:
"That's right!"

"So, the order of these two puzzles should be reversed. This should be what Fourth Brother did on purpose to increase the difficulty for me, right?"

Gu Jiting looked at Wu Gensheng, and Wu Gensheng also smiled.

"Haha, that's right."

Seeing that his speculation was confirmed, Gu Jiting was completely relieved, which connected all his speculations together:

"In other words, the word 'sincerity' refers to the stone cave at the end of the canyon where we are now. It is intended to allow those who enter to come here 'without bias and with a sincere heart' to find the real key!"

As he spoke, he immediately walked up to the temple pavilion where Wu Gensheng stored his sundries and moved all the stacked boxes aside, revealing a pair of downward-dented footprints in the center of the pavilion.

"right here!"

"Oh?"

When everyone saw it, they immediately gathered around and began to study the footprints.

"Could it be that you want to step on it?"

Everyone tried, but none of the mechanisms worked.

After a series of fruitless attempts, they all looked at Gu Jiting. They believed that with this guy's keen eyes and understanding of the overall situation, he should have discovered some clues.

as predicted……

"Hey, everyone, I have to solve it, right?"

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Gu Jiting smiled confidently and walked forward.

"I have just observed that this mechanism should not be stepped on, because there is nothing unusual above the head..."

"Then the real solution should be in the footprints themselves. If we want to say 'standing tall and upright', then the corresponding acupuncture point should be the 'Yongquan Point' on the sole of the foot!"

As we all know, in the human body, the Baihui point on the top of the head is "sky" and the Yongquan point on the bottom of the foot is "earth". The upper part is the sky and the lower part is the earth, which is to connect the heaven and the earth and stand upright...

In order to verify his conjecture, Gu Jiting raised his hands, circulated his true Qi, and immediately pressed towards the Yongquan acupoints of the two footprints. As he pressed his hands, the two true Qis were indeed absorbed, and the sound of mechanical expansion was heard from underground...

Click, click, click, click!
The moment they felt the ground shaking, everyone stepped back, and the place where the footprints were suddenly sank, forming a circular depression with a diameter of about ten meters.

Next, the circular depression was divided into a Tai Chi-shaped portal, which opened to both sides, revealing a square passage with stairs winding downwards.

(Mechanism in Tongtian Valley)

"This is……"

Everyone was surprised when they saw this. They had never expected that there was a secret passage at the end of the canyon. They couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Just then...

"Hahaha, Thirty, you're worthy of being here. You're amazing to be able to solve these two puzzles so quickly!"

Wu Gensheng laughed, then walked in front of the crowd, pointed at the entrance to the secret passage and said:

"Look everyone, this is what I call good fortune. Are you willing to go with me?"

"Hey, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, Fengping shouted and then went down first. Seeing this, the others also looked expectant and raised their feet.

It can be seen that no one present was worried that Wu Gensheng would harm them, or in other words, if they had the slightest doubt, they would not have appeared here.

After the previous sworn brotherhood, they are brothers, and the most important thing between brothers is "trust", and it is unconditional!
All of a sudden, everyone rushed in and entered the secret passage. Following the stairs down, they soon arrived in front of a secret room and saw four big characters right above the door of the secret room -

“It is difficult to obtain a human body”!
"Everyone, after seeing these four words, I think you already have the answer, right?"

Wu Gensheng pointed at the four words and grinned. Before, everyone had been guessing who the owner of this place, or the predecessor who built this Tongtian Valley, was. Now it was finally revealed.

"It's Master Zi Yang!"

As Taoists, Zhou Sheng, Zhang Huaiyi, Zheng Zibu, Song Mian and others were the first to understand. They had felt the charm of Taoism everywhere here long before. Now that they saw these four words, how could they not recognize them?

"Alas! It is difficult to obtain a human body, and circumstances change easily. One cannot predict the length of one's life, and how can one escape the retribution of karma?"

This is the opening chapter of "Wu Zhen Pian" written by Zi Yang Zhenren. As a great predecessor of Taoism and the founder of the Southern School of Taoism, the classics he left behind have long been read through by later generations.

"Yes, it is 'Zi Yang Zhenren'!"

Seeing that everyone recognized him, Wu Gensheng stopped talking and led everyone into the secret room, and signaled Feng Ping to use fire magic to illuminate...

call!
The flames rose instantly, illuminating the surroundings.

And then...

"This is?!"

When they saw the Taoist texts engraved on the walls of this secret room, several Taoists were even more surprised:
"If you don't seek the great way to get out of the wrong path, how can you be a man even if you have no talent? A hundred years of time is like a flash of lightning, and a lifetime is like a bubble of water... This, this, this is indeed the "Awakening to the Truth" written by Zi Yang Zhenren!"

“Is this the place where Master Zi Yang passed down his legacy?!”

Several people couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, this is exactly where Zi Yang Zhenren's legacy was passed down, and the "Awakening to the Truth" on this stone wall must have been carved by Zi Yang Zhenren himself!"

At this time, Wu Gensheng spoke up.

"When I first discovered this place, I had the same reaction as you. After my experience and verification, I found that this place might not only be the inheritance place of Master Zi Yang, but also the place where he attained enlightenment. The "Enlightenment to the Truth" that had a profound influence on later generations... might have been written here!"

"what?!"

After hearing this, not only Zhou Sheng and his companions, but the others also showed surprised expressions. Even if they were not from the Taoist sect, they had all heard of the name "Zi Yang Zhenren", who was suspected to be a great senior who had ascended to heaven!
A place of inheritance!

The place of enlightenment!

They knew very well what this meant. It might very well contain the "secret to heaven" discovered by True Man Zi Yang, which is the lifelong pursuit of all practitioners!

"it is true!"

At this moment, Gu Jiting suddenly shouted and widened his eyes.

"I have already felt... the wonderful charm revealed in these stone walls and words is not just from the content!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to the surrounding stone walls and began to feel it. Within a moment, everyone was shocked, and an irrepressible joy also emerged!
"It's indeed true!"

At this moment, everyone felt that every scratch on the stone wall contained the power of heaven and earth and the most profound and wonderful rhythm. Combined with the words on it, it actually formed a mysterious field in this secret room!
"Yes, this place is the same as the canyon outside. It should be the aura set up by Senior Zi Yang to help future generations gain enlightenment. If we practice and gain enlightenment here, we may be able to understand a little bit of the mystery and gain the wonderful meaning of heaven!"

After using the "observation technique" to observe for a while, Gu Jiting came to this conclusion. He then chose a corner to sit cross-legged without caring about what others thought, and began to close his eyes and meditate, practicing the Zhoutian cultivation.

"Oh?"

Seeing him like this, everyone looked towards Wu Gensheng...

"Yes."

Seeing Wu Gensheng smile and nod in confirmation, everyone was immediately surprised and sat down cross-legged, starting to comprehend the profound principles behind it.

only……

Even until everyone was in a trance, Wu Gensheng still did not make any moves. He just looked at everyone with a smile and an expectant expression...

Perhaps he had already realized it the last time he came, or perhaps he was not interested in the inheritance of Master Zi Yang. After looking around, he raised his foot, retreated silently, and left here quickly.

Then, he went up all the way and soon walked out of the secret passage, then ran wildly towards the outside of the valley. Soon he ran out of the valley and even out of the Qinling Mountains.

At this moment, everyone was immersed in this rare wonder of the Tao, like a fish entering the ocean and swimming freely, without noticing Wu Gensheng's departure at all...
