Chapter 199: The Origin of Metaphysics(1/2)

The title of the people of Shanhai confused everyone.

If we have to talk about the relationship between Emperor Yan and Xingtian, it is recorded in ancient books: Emperor Yan ordered Xingtian to compose the music of "Fu Li" and the chant of "Feng Nian", which was called "Bu Mou".

Therefore, everyone believed that Xingtian was a subject of Emperor Yan.

However, Yan Nu didn't care about that and asked directly: "Are you human beings?"

Miao Han smiled, Yan Nu was always so simple and direct. Everyone was shocked as to why the people of Shanhai called Xing Tian Emperor Yan, but he didn't care what others called him and got straight to the core issue.

The people of Shanhai were a little stunned when they heard this question.

"Emperor Yan."

"You don't remember us..."

"I am a citizen of Huren, and I am your subject."

"I am a Huantou person, a descendant of Zhu Rong, and my ancestors also followed Emperor Yan to punish Tian."

"The emperor's daughter once said that one day you will return, immortal in the flames, and dare to grind the sky and fill the sea."

These Shanhai people were very excited, talking all over the place, and in great confusion.

Yan Nu didn't even understand, but still asked: "Why did the Huan Tou people from Hu Ren Country become like this?"

The citizens of Shan Hai nodded in succession: "Destiny manipulates human beings and treats all living beings as birds and beasts. This is Haotian's grave sin and should be punished with great revenge. Isn't this what you said?"

They began to feel a little puzzled, and looked at Yan Nu with a confused look.

In their opinion, Emperor Yan should know all this when he returns. Isn't he Emperor Yan?

Then why save everyone?

The people of Shanhai were a little surprised and began to discuss in confusion.

Yan Nu was furious. It was indeed like this. Everything was just his guess, and these Shanhai citizens couldn't make it up even if they wanted to.

Luo Yan hurriedly asked: "Why is this so? Why does Heaven transform all living beings into totems?"

He realized that it would be better for him to ask these questions, and immediately restrained Yan Nu.

After some questioning, he finally figured out the matter of 'alienation'.

First of all, these people don't know the term "Tiandao". This is the term used by later generations of Shenzhou. They directly translate the thing that manipulates destiny as destiny, or it can also be called "Hao" or "God".

The word "Hao" strictly refers to "wonderful things and the way of heaven".

Its pictogram is "an eye in the sky", overlooking the earth and monitoring all living beings, which means "the eye that controls destiny".

Whether the way of heaven is a set of rules or whether it is the Supreme God, these people of the mountains and seas do not understand. In addition, the peoples of the mountains and seas are not unified with each other, so they have various opinions.

Because the original belief of the human race is to call great leaders and ancestors emperors, such as Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.

Therefore, the ancient ancestors themselves had very different opinions on what destiny is. If they think it has no personality, it is called Hao; if they think it has personality, it is called God.

It can be said: "The emperor is a God, and he is very powerful. He monitors all directions and asks for nothing from the people."

What does "asking the people for help" mean? In the Book of Songs, it means discovering the sufferings of the people.

However, this is actually because destiny has taken control of people's hearts, and there is already an "Emperor System" in the world.

But in ancient times, it had just appeared and had not yet controlled everything.

And the way of heaven has a characteristic...that is, it distorts the world according to people's imaginary concepts!

Create something that does not exist in the world, rules.

"This is actually the case, so all the ancient clans originally lived a good life. Each had its own culture, and each had its own totems and worship objects."

"Then the way of heaven suddenly appeared and turned all this into reality."

"Legends are true, beliefs are true, alienate all living beings, and distort the world."

Luo Yan looked at the many strange-looking people of Shanhai and felt that this was indeed the work of heaven, but in fact it was distorted by strange objects.

This strange object of heaven is a strange thing that "generates a world view".

As for the worldview, it does not make up its own, but is structured based on what all sentient beings think. From this point of view, it should be impersonal.

Therefore, after the ancient ancestors were alienated, they did not become strange and strange things, but became totems, things that people originally believed in and imagined.

I was wondering before, if it was punishment, or there was some conspiracy, why not simply destroy the ancient ancestors, or turn them into complete monsters?

Do we still have to follow the Classic of Mountains and Seas? If the Classic of Mountains and Seas says that there is one eye, then it is just one eye? If the Classic of Mountains and Seas says that it has the head of a human and the body of a snake, then it means that it has the head of a human and the body of a snake?

Some images, according to Luo Yan's research, are actually the result of ancient people seeing other tribes wearing horns and feathers, and then faithfully recorded them and painted them like that.

It doesn't really have horns or feathers.

But no matter what, they will always turn people into this.

In fact, all these are just simple characteristics: whatever this tribe worships, it becomes whatever it is.

Of course, the way of heaven will be exerted to a certain extent, and it must be a fictional thing that does not exist, but it also seems rigid. For example, the citizens of Xiaoyang, who are good at management, directly become supernatural powers.

All of this is so unnatural, extremely blunt! Typical distortion of characteristics.

If the way of heaven has thoughts, then this way of thinking is not human at all, it is a kind of non-human understanding that only ghosts can understand.

"Impossible! Why is there no record of such a big event in ancient books?"

The elders of Lushan were very excited. Although the people of Shanhai said that they had noses and eyes, they still couldn't believe it.

The monks have read a lot, but they have never heard of such visions in ancient times.

All the people have turned into exotic animals? How can such a thing happen?

In response to this, the people of Shanhai were stunned and did not know how to answer.

They have been trapped in this cave for too long, and most of them are not the ancient ancestors, but their descendants.

After all, three thousand years have passed, and except for a few who have been alienated into 'immortal species', most of them have died of old age. Most of the people of Shanhai today live in caves, adhering to the origin of the human race, and passing it on from generation to generation to this day.

So if we ask them to ask why there is no record of outside history, how can they know? They don’t even understand the outside language.

After a long while, a giant said: "Why not? How could you forget?"

"All peoples turned into birds, beasts, flowers and grass, even the Yandi clan is no exception..."

Miaohan was startled when he heard them say this.

Come to think of it, the previous people also mentioned a character called the ‘Emperor’s Girl’.

If you think about it carefully, does it mean the daughter of Emperor Yan?

That is... Jingwei!

"Is the emperor's baby you are talking about Jingwei?" Miaohan asked quickly.

The citizens of Shanhai replied: "The daughter of Emperor Yan, Wa, swam in the East China Sea and transformed into a Jingwei bird. If the Jingwei does not die, she will fill the sea."

"The emperor's daughter, Sang, turned into a hibiscus tree..."

"The emperor's daughter Yao turned into Wushan grass..."

They talked a lot, and then talked about many characters that no one had heard of.

Miaohan was stunned: "It turns out that it is said that the entire family of Emperor Yan in ancient times turned into flowers, plants, birds and beasts. In fact, it was the alienation of heaven."

Obviously, events from ancient times have been passed down through the ages, and it is impossible for everyone to record them. In addition, due to the loss of information and human deletion, we can only get a glimpse of it from the fact that the whole family of Emperor Yan was turned into a book of mountains and seas.

"If there was such a catastrophe in ancient times, why is it gone now?"

"Why haven't we been alienated?"

The monks said, the biggest confusion is this. These people say that the way of heaven will distort the world and change all living beings, then wouldn’t the human race be gone long ago?

"Only those who have merit or practice will be transformed." A man with the head of a human and the body of a snake emerged from the crowd.

He is a citizen of Xuanyuan, his status is quite different, and he seems to know more.

Seeing his strange attire and numerous jewelry, other people from the mountains and seas respectfully called him: "Witch Tan!"

Luo Yan looked at him and found out that he was a shaman from Xuanyuan Kingdom.

"Witch, why haven't I heard of it?" Luo Yan thought.

Miaohan was stunned: "Why do you have to hear about it?"

Luo Yan explained: "The ancient witches are able to understand the world and nature. They are not just offering sacrifices. They believe that the evolution of all things has its own laws and can be controlled by humans."

"All doctors and astrologists are involved in divination, and there is also a branch that specializes in rare objects. The original origin of my demonic path was passed down by that group of great witches..."

"So my magic way has its own set of ancient inheritance records, and all the great witches of the Xuanyuan clan are famous, but I have never heard of the witch altar."

"The name of a witch is passed down from generation to generation and remains unchanged forever, as if it is eternal life."

"If Dongtian Xuanyuan Kingdom is also inherited from the ancient human race Xuanyuan clan, then the name of Wu Tan should be included in my demonic records."

Wu Tan bowed and said: "I was born here, but I am just a small witch, no match for the great ancient witches such as Wu Xian."

Luo Yan nodded, that's it. After all, it's been three thousand years, and there are some other witches in the cave. It's normal.

Miao Han asked strangely: "Luo Yan, since the Demonic Way has been inherited, why don't you know about the alienation of the Heavenly Way?"
To be continued...
