Great Desolation

Chapter 121
Hello comrades!The weather is turbulent, and my Dao is prosperous!

However, when Xuanyuan was proving the Tao, a major event happened to the Shihuang clan of the human race.When Hou Gang, a woman from the Shihuang tribe, was playing in Luoshui Yayi (now the southeast of Baishui County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province), a strange wind suddenly hit, and the clouds rolled in the sky. Strains of yellow smoke rose, and the two intertwined.Turning into a dragon and tiger, blowing a violent storm, and throwing himself into his arms, after a burst of pain, a boy was born, surnamed Hou Gang and named Ling.It was Shi Huangshi who felt the aura of heaven and earth and gave birth to it.

At that time, anyone communicated with each other only by hand and body movements.The earliest language of the human race is a monosyllabic interjection, such as "呀呀", Jiuzaoao, Ha, etc.Then it developed into Shuangpu Ci, and later it was keyed and developed by millions of people in the Chajing, and it was not until the later period of Youchao's era that the primary language appeared.

By the time of Ji Renshi, the language was quite rich.But there was no writing at that time, and if there were any important things to remember, they could only be recorded by placing stones.It's called "stone pile notes".

The method of stacking stones to record events is to represent different things by the size, method and position of the stones.This approach is cumbersome, unmanageable, and easily broken.

Later, the Weaver Girl of the Suiren clan understood the technique of rubbing rope, and then understood the technique of "knotting events with ropes".Knotting notes is to twist the soft and resilient bark into thin ropes, then arrange dozens of thin ropes neatly and hang them in one place, and tie knots on them to remember things.Big things make a big conclusion, and Xiao Zhuo makes a small conclusion. The husband's affairs are in the inside, and the younger generation's affairs are in the outside.In order to be able to record more things, Zhinu used the natural colors of plants to dye the strings in various colors, each color representing a kind of things, so that the things recorded are more clear.

People found that using this method to record things is more clever than knotting records. It avoids the unfavorable factors such as "knotting notes. It is easy to be burned and rotted, and can be preserved forever. So people gradually use "symbol engraving" instead of "knot". "Rope Notes" and successively invented dozens of different symbols to replace different things. This symbol is the original text in ancient my country.

However, this kind of symbol is obscure and difficult to circulate and teach. This matter has always troubled people.

This Hou Gangling is also a pitiful person. His parents died early, and his personality was withdrawn since he was a child. He was accompanied by only one grandma. He never thought that his grandma passed away because of his advanced age. From now on, he will be alone in the world .So far, Hou Gangling has been insane all day long, holding a branch on the ground, I don't know what weird things, saying that it is to create characters for the human race.Hou Gangling's behavior was ridiculed by many children and adults in the Xiong tribe, but Hou Gangling was not affected by the ridicule of everyone, and was still immersed in his own world wholeheartedly.

After arriving in Yayi, it was easy to find Hou Gangling.The reason why it was so easy was because Hou Gangling's behavior was weird. Although he was not welcomed by the tribe, he was also well-known.

On this day, Li Yuan felt that there was an opportunity for himself among the human race, but he didn't know what it was?After all, Honghuang is the head of the heavens and the world, and the origin of all the laws of the heavens. Even if saints like them are in the place where the power of this law is suppressed, it is difficult to spy on the long river of fate, so Li Yuan left Penglai Xiandao, Suppressing one's own Dao, becoming an ordinary person and traveling in the territory of the human race, knowing some customs and customs, can be considered a pleasure.

During this wandering, Li Yuan discovered that although the human race in the early years was poor, they were all simple and honest. Although the later generations were rich, their hearts were not ancient, and he did not know whether the development of the human race was advancing or retreating.

On this day, Li Yuan came to a tribal village. He saw a dozen children frolicking together. Li Yuan looked at it strangely, but saw a young man in ragged clothes with a thin face, muttering He is speaking, sometimes looking at the sky and sometimes looking at the ground. He is holding a stick to write and draw on the ground, and he can vaguely see the appearance of a bird.

Li Yuan asked a child next to him, "Who is this person? What is he doing?"

The child clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This person's name is Hou Gang. He is a lunatic. He goes crazy here every day. It's very fun!" After speaking, he danced with his companion next to him and called, "Madman Hou Gang, Hou Gang lunatic!" !"

But Hou Gang didn't seem to hear it, he just continued to write and draw on his own, but he drew the shape of a fish again.

Li Yuan was shocked when he heard that the person was named Hou Gang, and thought to himself that this is the ancestor of human beings who created characters.Looking at those children clapping their hands and making jokes, I sighed in my heart. As the saying goes, the high places are too cold for the high places. Every invention that changes the course of mankind is either produced by accident or without being understood.Square Chinese characters prevailed in the world in later generations, and the civilization lasted for thousands of years, but who knew that the ancestor of Chinese characters was called a lunatic?
And the moment he met Hou Gang, Li Yuan suddenly had a thought, and immediately understood his chance. It turned out that God asked me to help him complete the human language.

So Li Yuan's thoughts changed, and he turned into an old man and appeared in front of Hou Gangling to observe the progress of Hou Gangling's character creation at close range.Hou Gangling was also very surprised by Li Yuan's arrival. No one in the human race believed that he could create characters, so they have always ignored Hou Gangling.Therefore, Li Yuan's arrival surprised him a little. Finally, someone could agree with his move, so the whole person seemed very excited, and Li Yuan's hints from time to time also made him open up.

One day, Li Yuan came to Hou Gangling's hut and saw that Hou Gangling was not thinking about words as he had been thinking about the day before, but changed into clean clothes and stood there quietly with a very serious expression.When he saw Li Yuan leaving, he knelt down in the room and said: "The elder is here, Hou Gangling wants to worship you as a teacher and learn knowledge, and I hope the elder will allow you."

Li Yuan was very happy to see Hou Gangling's move. He gave several pointers to make Hou Gangling apprentice, and now it's finally here.Li Yuan smiled and said: "Hou Gangling, you have to think about it, and you must worship me as your teacher?" Hou Gangling said firmly: "I have already made up my mind, and I hope the teacher will be merciful."

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction with a smile, and then a dazzling light shone from his body.Seeing a flash of purple light, Li Yuan returned to his original body.Seeing this, Hou Gangling was surprised and speechless.Li Yuan didn't care about it, and said to him: "This is the original body of the teacher. Since you have made up your mind, the poor Taoist will accept you as an apprentice. The teacher's Taoist name is Taiming, and he is Penglai Xiandao, the Taoist palm." Teaching ancestor Taiming Taoist, from now on you will be the fifth named disciple of the teacher. As for the method of making characters, the teacher has told you the general situation during this period, and you need to think about it yourself in the future. "

When Hou Gangling heard that he had worshiped a human saint as his teacher, he couldn't help being shocked and didn't wake up for a long time on the spot.He didn't realize it until Li Yuan finished speaking, and hurriedly bowed down.Li Yuan smiled and helped him up.Since then, Hou Gangling and Li Yuan have been staying in Youxiong and working hard for the great cause of creating characters for the human race!

Hou Gangling has been researching and creating characters for several years, and he has learned the essentials. Now with the help of Miaoshan, he is like a fish in water.A few days later, Hou Gangling had created as many as a thousand characters.Hou Gangling was overjoyed, he got up and thanked Miao Shan: "My disciple thanks Master for his help."

Just after Hou Gangling thanked him, he suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy. Seeing this, Li Yuan was prepared to give Hou Gangling an elixir.

After a while, Hou Gangling recovered, feeling very strange in his heart, not knowing why he did this for no reason.Seeing this, Li Yuan said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about it, but it's not a big problem." Then he explained it to Hou Gangling.

It turned out that Hou Gangling at this time was about to produce writing.However, the creation of characters is beneficial to the spread of human civilization and the development and progress of human beings, which can be described as immeasurable merit.With writing, human progress will not be interrupted, even if there are other reasons that human society may stagnate, or even temporarily retreat.But generally speaking, the progress of human beings will not change, but it is precisely because of the emergence of writing that it will surely reveal all the secrets of the world. , will definitely lose the chance to become the protagonist of the world forever, so creating characters is the biggest act against the sky.

Therefore, the way of heaven has long arranged that Hou Gang's creation of characters is an act against the heavens. After all, the human race is not like the innate gods like Kunpeng, who are born to control the innate laws and have their own innate destiny. Although the human race is tied for three talents One, but because of the late start, luck before the return of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, it is difficult to compare with those innate gods, so Tiandao wants to use Li Yuan's hand, let Hou Gang use Li Yuan's luck to complete the creation of characters, which can also be offset An act against heaven.

Hou Gangling listened to Li Yuan's explanation, his face was extremely firm, and said: "Even if it is against the sky, I will create characters for the human race." Miao Shan smiled and did not speak.On the day when the writing was created, suddenly there was a gloomy wind in the sky, black mist, and howling ghosts and gods. The souls of countless birds and beasts turned into ghosts and rushed towards Hou Gangling, but they were caught by the three-foot blue light above his head and could not move an inch.

The minds of countless Shenlongs were shaken, and somewhere in the dark, it seemed that someone had leaked all their secrets, and a chill rose from nowhere, scaring the Shenlongs into hiding to avoid disaster.This is because the creatures of heaven and earth are afraid that the human race will master the writing and reveal all the secrets of the world, so that these creatures will be reduced to the human race and cannot protect themselves.

At that moment, Miao Shan and Hou Gang led them to the courtyard.I saw Hou Gangling raised the pen in his hand, raised his head to the sky and said loudly: "Now Hou Gangling, a disciple of Penglai Taoist ancestor Taiming Daozun, has successfully created characters in order to educate the prehistoric people. All living beings will remember my characters."

After Hou Gangling finished speaking, he saw the sky tumbling for a while, then darkened in an instant, and there were bursts of thunder above the sky.All the innate gods in Honghuang felt something.

After Hou Gangling finished speaking these words, he swiped the pen in his hand in the void and wrote a big "Heaven" character. Hou Gangling shouted: "Heaven!" Above the word, the entire "Heaven" character was magnified hundreds of times and rose into the air. The image was spread all over the prehistoric people. Small characters travel around Hou Gangling.
