Chapter Fifty-Three: Enlightening Humanity

  Xuanyuan accepted Fuxi as his disciple and then taught him Taoist doctrine in the Fengxun tribe.

  After several years had passed in this way, Fu Xi learned the Taoist arts from Xuandu, and Xuandu departed without staying.

  The leader of the Fengxun tribe knew that Fuxi was following the immortal to practice Taoism, and Fuxi had been respected by the people of the tribe for many years, so he directly passed on his position as the leader to Fuxi.

  The Fengxun tribe was becoming increasingly prosperous, but it still relied on hunting wild beasts every day to make a living. In the process of hunting, there were often tribesmen who lost their lives in the belly of wild beasts, which had been troubling Fuxi for a long time.

  One day, Fuxi felt frustrated and alone, gazing up at the sky. He yearned to fly through the heavens like his master, but he had only been practicing for a short time. Although he had made great progress, he still hadn't reached the level of mastery.

  At this time, Fu Xi saw a spider web on a tree in front of him, and a small insect accidentally fell into the spider web. As a result, no matter how hard the insect struggled, it could not escape.

  Fuxi saw this, and a thunderous sound exploded in his heart. His face showed an excited expression.

  Finally, Fu Xi gathered his people and had them cut down sturdy vines, then weave them into nets to hunt wild beasts.

  The first use was a great joy for Fuxi, the tribe used nets to hunt and kill wild beasts with almost no effort, let alone injury. Then Fuxi thought deeply again, studied, and finally Fuxi had the tribe use nets to catch fish.

  As the tribe's web of kinship expanded, their food also became increasingly abundant, and there were no longer any cases of starvation within the tribe.

  With food in surplus, Fuxi had his tribespeople domesticate some of the wild animals and raise them.

  In the past, people used to record their daily food intake by tying knots on a rope. However, as time went by and food became more abundant, this method was no longer suitable. Fuxi eventually invented a simple symbol to replace it, which he called "book contract".

  The problem of food was solved, but at that time people simply used branches and leaves to wrap around their bodies. Every time it got cold, many elderly people, children, and patients with illnesses could not withstand the cold and froze to death. Fuxi then made bone needles from animal bones and thread from animal tendons to sew together animal hides into clothing, increasing the tribe's ability to keep warm and preventing them from freezing to death.

  The Feng Bo tribe gained a great reputation, and Fuxi's prestige in the Feng Bo tribe also reached an unprecedented height. Some other small tribes near the tribe also joined the Feng Bo tribe one after another.

  The scale of the Fengxun tribe is getting bigger and bigger, and Fuxi discovers another problem. In the current tribe, almost everyone is casual, and children are born without knowing who their father is.

  In the past, human tribes suffered heavy casualties from hunting, so they needed to constantly give birth to make up for the population loss. Now that food is abundant and this is no longer necessary, Fuxi established a system where two people who are in love can live together and settle down.

  To avoid what happened before, Fuxi had his people pile earth to make walls and build houses, which he called homes, where a family lived together.

  Soon afterwards, Nüwa sent Xuan Du to bring the Fuxi Qin. With the help of the Fuxi Qin, Fuxi invented the Tao and Se musical instruments.

  As the scale of the Fengxun tribe grew larger, things also multiplied, and Fuxi alone was too busy to handle everything. Finally, Fuxi appointed some people with high reputation as representatives to act on his behalf in managing the Fengxun tribe, and then created the calendar method, recording the four seasons of a year.

  Nowadays, the Fengxun tribe has become much more stable, and the tribespeople are able to hunt wild beasts on their own and have no worries about food or clothing.

  Fuxi's life had finally settled down, but one day the sky which was originally clear and sunny suddenly turned dark with thunder and lightning, and a heavy rain poured down, causing a mountain flood.

  Under the impact of the mountain flood, some simple houses in the Feng Kun tribe were directly washed away, and many people were swept away by the flood, with unknown life or death.

  After the mountain flood, the entire Fengqin tribe was filled with wailing voices. Afterwards, everyone in the tribe went to search for their relatives and after finding them back, a count showed that due to this mountain flood, tens of thousands of tribespeople had died, which made Fuxi extremely sorrowful.

  From that day on, Fuxi handed over the tasks of building houses and hunting to others, while he himself sat alone by the Luo River all day, quietly observing the celestial phenomena, wanting to observe a clue about the trajectory of mountain floods and torrential rains.

  For half a month, Fuxi gained nothing, but Fuxi was also a persistent person and did not give up.

  Wu Xing Island, after Yun Zhongzi saved Hua Xu, he returned to Wu Xing Island and only saw Fu Xi a few times when he was young. After that, he secretly paid attention to Fu Xi. Now seeing Fu Xi sitting by the Luo River, observing the celestial phenomena, and divining the heavenly mechanism, Yun Zhongzi smiled slightly and got up from the main hall, disappearing on Wu Xing Island in an instant.

  "Virtuous Dao pays respects to seniors." In an instant, Yun Zhongzi appeared in the Human Realm's origin - Mount Xiyang.

  Yun Zhongzi smiled slightly and said, "Mmm, not bad. Your cultivation has improved quickly, and your practice is indeed diligent. Now the opportunity for your Void Dao has arrived."

  By the Luo River, Fu Xi was contemplating the heavens when two low growls suddenly rang out.

  Fuxi was startled awake, turned his head to look, and saw a giant turtle emerging from the Luo River, with a book on its back. From the mountain cave across the Luo River, a strange beast with red stripes and green color, eight feet five inches tall, resembling a deer with wings, emerged. Its body was like that of a horse, but it had dragon scales. This strange beast was a Dragon Horse. On its back was placed a rolled-up picture. The two beasts placed the objects on their backs in front of Fuxi and then disappeared. These objects were the Heavenly Spiritual Treasure River Map and the Luo Book.

  The He Tu and the Luo Shu were flowing with spiritual energy, thread by thread, auspicious colors filling the air. Fu Xi naturally knew that these two treasures were extraordinary, but he couldn't understand why they suddenly appeared in this place.

  At this moment, a auspicious cloud in the distant sky flew rapidly towards Luoshui, and in an instant it landed in front of Fuxi.

  Fuxi had met Master Bo before. As soon as Fuxi saw the visitor, he was overjoyed and hastily bowed to greet him.

  Yun Zhongzi dodged with a flash of movement and said, "I, the poor monk, cannot accept such a grand gift from you. You should still address me as Elder Immortal."

  Although Yun Zhongzi knew that Fu Xi had already become a disciple of Xuan Du, and Xuan Du also called him "Big Master Brother", so it was not excessive for Fu Xi to call Yun Zhongzi "Big Master Uncle".

  Fuxi will become an existence comparable to a saint, immortal and indestructible. Moreover, Fuxi is also the elder brother of Nüwa. Previously, the two were on an equal footing, but later when Fuxi's merits are complete, he will regain his memory, and Zhongzi won't really accept this gift.

  "This, okay, it's been over a decade since Xian Chang last came to the Fengxue tribe, but my mother does miss him." Fuxi could only follow Yun Zhongzi's words and call out to him as "Xian Chang".

  "Heh heh, is Lady Hua Xiu still well?" Yun Zhongzi chuckled and asked.

  Fu Xi said, "My mother is fine, I don't know if you have any important matters this time you came?"

  As he spoke, he glanced at the two treasures in his hand and secretly wondered if they had any connection with Yun Zhongzi.

  Yun Zhongzi led the way to the Feng Xun tribe, saying at the same time, "These two treasures are related to your teachings and the human race. I'll borrow them from you for now."

  "Thank you, Xian Chang." Fuxi was overjoyed and delighted beyond measure.

  "Please have a seat, immortal one."

  Huaxu is now over 40 years old, but apparently Fuxi has also passed on his Taoist teachings to his mother, so Huaxu looks like a woman in her thirties. When she saw Yun Zhongzi, she was quite excited, thinking that if it weren't for Yun Zhongzi, he and Fuxi might have died long ago. Moreover, Yun Zhongzi had appeared several times in the Fengxun tribe, teaching young Fuxi various things, and Huaxu still remembered this kindness.

  "You're too polite, Huaxu."

  Yun Zhongzi stayed in the Fengxu tribe and secretly observed Fuxi studying the Hetu Luoshu.

  Since obtaining the Hetu Luoshu, Yun Zhongzi has not stopped contemplating it. During the Great War of Witchcraft and Evil, the power of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation was evident to all living beings in the vast expanse. Naturally, Yun Zhongzi hoped to fully comprehend this formation, but although he had made some gains over the years, they were not great.

  After returning to the Fengxun tribe, Fuxi closed himself in meditation to ponder the Hetu and Luoshu. This period of seclusion lasted for 64 days. When he emerged from his seclusion, Fuxi's face was filled with excitement as he muttered to himself, "In this way, our people can live in peace."

  After finishing, he stretched out his hand and drew a Taiji Bagua diagram on the ground. Qian one, Dui two, Li three, Zhen four, Xun five, Kan six, Gen seven, Kun eight. The eight symbols surround the Taiji diagram, these eight symbols seem simple but contain great Tao, can be used to calculate all things, and its most wonderful place is that even if it is an ordinary person without any magical powers, as long as you remember the meaning represented by this diagram, you can also use it to calculate.

  "Even without divination skills, it can be calculated, and it's wonderful. Our people can also use it to seek good fortune and avoid calamity."

  Afterwards, Fuxi spent several years teaching the Taiji Bagua diagram to a few clever people in the tribe. During these years, the Fengxun tribe avoided heavenly disasters several times thanks to Fuxi's reminders, and thus Fuxi's reputation spread far and wide. Gradually, more than ten years later, Fuxi's name had already spread throughout the entire Honghuang mainland of the human race, and what he taught to the Fengxun tribe also spread to other tribes.

  The human tribe is grateful for Fuxi's contributions and elects Fuxi as the common lord of the human tribe.

  Nowadays, people have no worries about food and clothing, and some daily management does not require Fuxi to handle it in person, but instead entrusts it to some famous people.

  For decades, Fuxi's cultivation had been getting deeper and deeper. He knew that his days of staying in the human tribe were numbered. As for his mother, Huaxu, Fuxi was relatively at ease, after all, Huaxu was also cultivating. However, he couldn't put down the human tribe.

  Because over the years, he also knew the situation of the entire Honghuang, the birth time of the human race was too short, although the population was large, but basically there were not many people who could cultivate, so wanting to find a virtuous and talented person within the human race to take his place and look after the human race.

  The human race is so vast, and there are many virtuous people, but it's undoubtedly like searching for a needle in the ocean to find someone who can truly replace Fuxi.

  Thus, Fu Xi spent many years searching and finally found a suitable candidate for the heavy responsibility - Lie Shan!
