Chapter 494 An Auspicious Omen! Fuxi Comprehends the Hetu and Luoshu!
After Di Jun's explanation, Donghuang Taiyi's doubts dissipated considerably.
According to this, Di Jun continued:
"Secondly, the reason I asked the Sage Nuwa for one-tenth of the merit was also for your sake, my second brother."
"what?"
As soon as Di Jun uttered these words, Donghuang Taiyi was stunned, his face filled with bewilderment.
He looked like he hadn't quite understood what Di Jun meant.
Seeing Donghuang Taiyi's bewildered expression, Dijun sighed helplessly before explaining:
"Isn't it all so that you can attain sainthood and become a saint?"
"As I said before, this demon realm can support a quasi-saint to attain sainthood."
"If you can obtain those merits, it will greatly increase your chances of success when you attain enlightenment in the future!"
After hearing what Di Jun said, Donghuang Taiyi immediately understood and was deeply moved.
He had previously found it strange that Di Jun would lend out his life-bound treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, just for the sake of some merit; the risk was far too great.
Who would have thought that Di Jun was only thinking of himself?
After a slight pause, Donghuang Taiyi looked at Dijun with gratitude and said:
"Elder brother, you...you did all this for me!"
"I misunderstood you just now."
Upon hearing this, Di Jun smiled faintly and said:
"It's alright."
"We're brothers, no need for further words!"
"Furthermore, if you can attain sainthood here, it will be an extremely important part of our demon race's future plans."
Donghuang Taiyi nodded, knowing full well that his elder brother had always harbored resentment over the fact that the demon race had been driven into the demon realm.
He was also very unwilling to accept this.
That is why both brothers had ambitions: to one day lead the demon army back to the primordial world.
If Donghuang Taiyi could also become a saint-level being, it would be of great help to the demon race.
After a moment's thought, Donghuang Taiyi came to his senses and looked at Dijun with a determined expression, saying:
"Brother, don't worry."
"I will definitely cultivate diligently and strive to attain sainthood as soon as possible."
"This will also give my demon race a chance to rise again!"
Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Dijun nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more.
……
On the other side, after leaving the demon realm, Nuwa headed straight for the human race.
At this time, in the Huaxu tribe of the human race.
Fuxi was sitting under a big tree in the mountains, fiddling with the Bagua he had come to understand.
"The teacher's trip is an auspicious omen."
"So, does that mean I... have a chance to attain enlightenment in the future?"
Looking at the hexagrams on the ground, Fuxi was extremely excited.
Just then, a beam of light suddenly descended, and then the figure of the sage Nuwa appeared.
Upon seeing Nuwa return, Fuxi was overjoyed and immediately rose from the ground to greet her.
"Teacher, you're back!"
Approaching, Fuxi said excitedly:
"I just cast a divination for myself, and it was an auspicious sign."
"But teacher, have you found something here that can help me enter the path of enlightenment?"
Upon hearing what Fuxi said, the sage Nuwa didn't keep him in suspense and nodded, saying:
"That's right."
"On this trip, I have found the essential items for your path to enlightenment."
After saying this, the sage Nuwa waved her hand, and the Hetu and Luoshu appeared in her palm.
"Um?"
Fuxi looked over and, upon seeing the Hetu and Luoshu, his mind trembled uncontrollably.
"strangeness."
"I... why do I feel like these two treasures are so familiar?"
After a brief look, Fuxi muttered in surprise, then turned his gaze toward the sage Nuwa.
His expression clearly indicated that he hoped the sage Nuwa could give him an explanation.
The sage Nuwa smiled faintly and said meaningfully:
"When the time comes, you will naturally know the reason."
Nuwa did not reveal anything.
After all, Fuxi was no stranger to the Hetu and Luoshu.
Although these two treasures were the companion treasures of the Demon Emperor Di Jun, Fu Xi had borrowed the Hetu and Luoshu when he was still the Demon Emperor Xi Huang.
Using the Hetu and Luoshu diagrams to deduce celestial secrets and perform astrological divination, he, together with the Demon Emperor Dijun, created the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.
It was precisely by relying on this Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array that they were able to contend with the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Array of the Wu Clan.
Now, Fuxi has been reincarnated as a human, but his memories of his previous life remain, only temporarily sealed away.
It's not surprising that seeing the Hetu and Luoshu now evokes a sense of familiarity.
After hearing what Nuwa said, Fuxi did not ask any further questions.
After a moment of silence, Nuwa spoke:
"Take these two magical treasures and diligently study and comprehend them!"
"It will surely help you enter the path."
As she spoke, Nuwa waved her jade hand, and the Hetu and Luoshu that were floating in her palm immediately flew down in front of Fuxi.
"Yes, teacher!"
Fuxi was very excited and took the Hetu and Luoshu.
The moment Fuxi acquired these two treasures, he felt a vast torrent of information rush into his mind.
That is the law governing the universe, the essence of all things in heaven and earth, the mystery of the waxing and waning of Yin and Yang, and the profound secrets of the generating and restraining relationships of the Five Elements...
With just a slight sensation, Fuxi couldn't help but shudder, and his eyes burst forth with an unprecedented light.
"Thank you so much, teacher!!"
After a slight pause, Fuxi bowed deeply to the sage Nuwa with a face full of gratitude.
Nuwa smiled slightly and nodded, saying:
"Consider this carefully. Do not fail this treasure, nor fail... your destiny."
Fuxi nodded emphatically, and without further delay, he went into seclusion to study the Hetu and Luoshu.
Inside the cave, the Hetu and Luoshu floated in front of Fuxi, slowly rotating.
Above the River Chart, countless points of light are arranged into a mysterious array, each point of light corresponding to a node of the laws of heaven and earth.
Within the Luoshu (洛书), countless numbers flow and combine, evolving into endless variations.
Fuxi sat cross-legged for several years.
During this period, he neither slept nor ate nor drank, and his mind was completely immersed in the integration and deduction of the Hetu Luoshu and the Bagua.
In the first year, he matched the "numbers" in the Hetu diagram with the "images" in the Bagua diagram, and found that the numbers in the Hetu diagram could be matched with the positions of the Bagua diagram.
The five and ten in the center of the Hetu diagram represent Taiji.
One and six are in the north and belong to Kan; two and seven are in the south and belong to Li; three and eight are in the east and belong to Zhen; four and nine are in the west and belong to Dui; and five and ten are in the center and belong to Qian, Kun, Gen, and Xun.
Heaven and earth are positioned, mountains and lakes communicate, thunder and wind interact, and water and fire do not clash.
The symbols of the Eight Trigrams and the numbers of the River Chart are perfectly matched!
The following year, Fuxi incorporated the concept of "change" from the Luoshu into the concept of "evolution" from the Bagua.
The Luoshu Nine Palaces are arranged with nine on top, one at the bottom, three on the left, seven on the right, two and four on the shoulders, six and eight on the feet, and five in the center.
This is the pivot of the changes in the numbers of heaven and earth, from which the waxing and waning of all things and the rise and fall of yin and yang can be deduced.
After gaining insight, Fuxi combined the changes of the Luoshu with the Eight Trigrams to deduce the arrangement and changing patterns of the sixty-four hexagrams.
The sixty-four hexagrams consist of three hundred and eighty-four lines.
Each line contains a change, and each change corresponds to a state of all things in heaven and earth.
