Chapter 358 Starting from One, Standing on Three, Finishing on Five
After Li Fangshi finished cursing, he flicked his whisk to teach the three zombies in front of him a lesson.
Xu Fu grabbed him and warned him softly with a smile.
"This is a body that only fell after three thousand years."
"Although I don't know why I don't have a master to guide me, I still must not be careless to avoid capsizing in the gutter."
The book implies: "Three Talents" refers to heaven, earth, and people;
The three zombies are the sky zombie, the earth zombie, and the human zombie.
"The Book of Changes" says: "This is how to establish the way of 'Heaven', which is called Yin and Yang; to establish the way of 'Earth', which is called softness and hardness; to establish the way of 'Human', which is called benevolence and righteousness;
Therefore, "three talents" in metaphysics mean the complementarity of yin and yang, the coexistence of strength and softness, and the coexistence of benevolence and righteousness.
The Sancai corpse was made by Zhang Shizu, the ancestor of the corpse exorcism family, according to the method of reversing the three talents.
Reversing yin and yang, reversing hardness and softness, is unkind and unjust.
First select three extremely evil people who were born on extremely yin days, capture them and torture them for three years using various inhuman methods.
Things like peeling skin and cramping, tiger stool pepper water, eye gouging and tongue pulling out are all commonplace.
In short, just don't kill him, and the rest will be as miserable as possible.
Three years later, on a very sunny day, when their resentment was at its strongest, they twisted their heads, cut off their waists, and reassembled their limbs.
After re-sewing, the soul of Sancai's fallen corpse was captured and trapped in the body, and then various secret techniques of the corpse family were used to refine it for seven years before it was completed.
At this point, many readers may already have questions:
Why in all metaphysics books, the number of years for casting spells and refining weapons is three years, five years, seven years, and nine years, instead of two, four, six, and eight years.
Here the author explains it to you in one sentence:
It is said that in the early years of the ancient times in China, the great god Pangu set down rules:
Everything starts from one, is established from three, is completed from five, is better than seven, and is perfected from nine.
From then on, heaven and earth rotated and life continued.
This record comes from "San Wu Li Ji" written by Xu Zheng of Wu State. The original text is as follows:
The sky is ten feet taller, the earth is ten feet thicker, and Pangu is ten feet longer. This is how it lasted for eighteen thousand years.
The sky is extremely high, the earth is extremely deep, and Pangu is extremely long. After that, there are three emperors.
Counting starts from one, stands at three, becomes at five, flourishes at seven, and is at nine, so the heaven and the earth are ninety thousand miles apart.
Translated it is:
One is the beginning, everything in the world begins with one, one (chaos) gives birth to two (yin and yang);
Two generates three (heaven, earth, and man), and three generates all things;
Five (south, east, northwest, and middle are a whole, and can also be understood as the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are all things);
Prosperous in seven (no trouble when going in and out, no blame when friends come; repeat the path, come back in seven days, seven is a cycle);
At nine (nine is the extreme number), heaven and earth are ninety thousand miles apart.
These are all knowledge points. Interested readers can remember them to avoid being deceived by others.
...It seems that we have gone too far, so let’s get back to the point.
After being reminded by Xu Fu, Li Fangshi became much more cautious.
Because in reality, Sancai's practice time was much longer than that of a human immortal like him.
Does anyone know of any special means?
In view of the weakness of Sancai's fallen corpse, Li Fangshi took out a copper bell and shook it continuously while muttering something in his mouth.
"Fang Dao Fang Dao, mysterious and mysterious."
"The sky and the earth are clear and bright, and there is no intention at all; the dust is silent, and all simplicity returns to oneness. The separation and union suddenly disperse, and the fate returns to the lamp; I am like Bodhi, and I return to emptiness."
"..."
"Afraid and unwilling to give in, the sky is hesitant, but there is no panic, and I am still and healthy. I want to repay the three thousand dharma vows, but I am called Huangquan, but all my souls are silent, I am here."
The clear ringing sound in the ears of ordinary people is like muffled thunder in the ears of Sancai Corpse.
One after another, they were so shocked that their souls almost left their bodies.
Li Fangshi "taking advantage of the victory to pursue" took out a handful of glutinous rice from somewhere and threw it in the wind.
The zombie that was holding its head and roaring in pain actually made a crackling explosion sound after being coated with glutinous rice, with sparks flashing continuously.
After the clothes were blown to pieces, the dark, shriveled skin underneath was revealed, as hard as iron.
Being attacked one after another, Sancai's corpse was completely aroused, and he roared and rushed towards Li Fangshi.
The three people are like one person, and their movements are uniform.
The six arms turned upside down, and the pitch-black nails were more than ten centimeters long, like poison-quenched daggers, and they clawed at the old alchemist randomly.
Li Fangshi was already on guard, smiled confidently and quickly retreated.
When he arrived at Li Jinlong's side, he quickly grabbed one of his arms and twisted off his left middle finger with a click.
As Li Jinlong screamed, he put his fingers in his mouth, chewed them, and sprayed them into the air.
"You eat my blood, you eat my flesh, if you dare to harm me, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
After Sancai's corpse rushed over, he no longer attacked Li Fangshi, but instead greedily sucked in the flesh and blood with his eyes closed.
It's like we haven't been able to touch our mobile phones for several weeks and are suddenly free.
Li Fangshi chuckled, and calmly took out the talismans from his arms, threading them one by one on his mahogany sword, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Sancai's fallen corpse.
At this moment, Zhang Shizu, who had broken through the mystery of the womb, jumped up and down and ran quickly from a distance.
"Hehehe, you are so brave!"
"You actually took advantage of my ancestor's absence to bully my corpse slave!"
