Yang Tuo got two treasures from the nameless valley, and he felt a little happy.
Except for the last time he was hit on the head by the Dragon Tiger Jade Ruyi, this was the first time that he harvested spiritual treasures without relying on foresight and only relying on luck.
At the beginning, he didn't know that there were Sunset Arrow and Sun Fire under Jiuyang Spring. Now that he knew about it, of course he couldn't let it go.
He sat upright on the stone platform, used Hou Yi's arrows to shoot down the sun, and used the real fire of the sun transformed by the Golden Crow as a guide, and calculated the locations of the remaining eight springs based on the Ziwei Dou number.
After a while, Yang Tuo already had an idea. He immediately cut off a few strands of long hair and used the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique to separate eight clones.
As eight identical figures appeared, Yang Tuo thought to himself: "This method is indeed designed for monkeys. Will ordinary people become bald one day if they use it this way?"
Withdrawing his thoughts, Yang Tuo nodded to several clones, and the clones dispersed in all directions.
After the clones left, Yang Tuo meditated on the big stone and practiced Qi.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Whenever he has time, he will not let it go. If he does not accumulate small steps, he cannot reach a thousand miles. If he does not accumulate small streams, he cannot reach a river or sea.
Yang Tuo rested in this valley for a few days, and the clones returned to the valley one after another.
Each clone brought back a sunset arrow and a true sun fire.
Look at the row of sunset arrows in front of you, and then look at the nine true fires that are constantly circling around you.
The harvest this time was really not small, even with his current net worth, it cannot be ignored. Since the nine sunset arrows did not shoot the sun bow, they could only be used as magic weapons.
Fortunately, the Sunset Arrow is of high quality. As a spiritual treasure, changing its shape is just a basic function, just like Yang Tuo changing his spear.
Although Yang Tuo is difficult to use, it is also a good choice to give it to disciples.
As for the nine true fires surrounding him, they are constantly circling around. Fortunately, their heat has been restrained and will not have any impact on the surroundings.
Looking at the golden crow-shaped flames flying in front of him, Yang Tuo seemed to have seen the scene of the ancient golden crows spanning the world.
He couldn't help but think of those great masters who had disappeared in the long river of history, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Even if your magic power is boundless and your magical power is invincible, it will all be in vain if you don't realize the Hunyuan!"
I don’t know how many amazing and talented people have been buried in this history. How many races have been lost in the dust of history.
Just when Yang Tuo was sighing, a spark suddenly appeared in his heart, and an idea slowly emerged in his heart.
However, he felt a little on a whim, and had a feeling in the dark that maybe this was the path he needed to take.
This feeling was strange, but not out of the ordinary. He couldn't help but think: "Why don't I think of it as 'history'?"
As the idea sprouted, he carefully considered the feasibility of this plan!
Although there are no historians among the twelve major schools, this does not mean anything. The potential of historians is actually not low.
"Using history as a mirror, we can see the ups and downs!"
Although history does not explain the actual way of enlightenment, it can allow people to learn experiences and lessons from history and find a way out from the wisdom of previous generations.
History plays an irreplaceable role whether it is for individuals, countries, nations or the world.
History is about the past and the present. The development of the past world forms history, and the development of the present world creates history.
No matter who you are or what race you are, you can learn knowledge and enlighten wisdom from past history!
And use this as an opportunity to predict future trends.
Not only can people learn knowledge and develop wisdom from history, but they can also record the meritorious deeds of heaven and earth for future generations to remember.
As the saying goes: The most important thing is to establish virtue, the second is to perform meritorious service, and the third is to establish words. Even if it lasts for a long time, this is called immortality.
Sages set examples and educate the world with their virtues. There are also sages who write books and words and educate all living beings with words. Only those who have made meritorious deeds will be remembered by future generations even though they are passed down word of mouth.
But word of mouth will eventually have its flaws, and over time, many past events will be lost in the long river of time.
For example, when he was enthroning the gods, King Zhou didn't know about the great virtues of Nuwa in ancient times, so he uttered arrogant words and blasphemed the sacredness.
If we had history, these problems might be avoidable.
If Yang Tuo establishes a "historian" family, he can record those who have made meritorious deeds so that history will not be forgotten.
Even though everyone has forgotten, history will never forget. This can complement the immortality of "contribution" among the three immortalities.
Only then can future generations understand the hardships of their predecessors and use history as a mirror to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
History may seem inconspicuous, but it cannot be ignored. For Confucianism to flourish, the role of "Spring and Autumn" is indispensable.
No matter who dominates the world, no matter what theory is used to govern the world, history cannot deny it.
The only shortcoming is that it is more difficult for the "historian" school to spread and develop than other theories.
Because he does not teach sentient beings directly, but allows sentient beings to understand it from history.
As the saying goes, benevolence sees benevolence and wisdom sees wisdom. The wisdom that everyone can understand from history is different.
Yang Tuo also had a preliminary idea about this. Since history is difficult to spread, it is better to integrate it into other theories.
History does not conflict with any theory, nor will it conflict with other theories. As long as it develops with peace of mind, it will surely stand out among hundreds of schools of thought.
The contention of a hundred schools of thought is not just a talk, the collision of ideas is the most elusive. Just like Confucianism, Confucianism at the beginning was just an inconspicuous school among hundreds of schools of thought.
It was only through the continuous struggle of generations of Confucianists that they were able to be inclusive and stand out, and finally became the largest university in the human race.
However, in this process, Confucianism suffered many disasters, and how many Confucians fell on the road of progress.
There was a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period: "If you are not a Confucian, you are a Mohist." It can be imagined that at that time, Mohism was the biggest opponent of Confucianism.
Later, the "rule of etiquette" advocated by Confucianism and the "rule of law" advocated by Legalism fought with each other, forming the "Controversy of Rites and Laws."
Confucianism advocates restoration, and Legalism advocates reform. They are natural enemies. It can be said that the development of Confucianism is full of hardships.
If we do it again, we may not be able to reach the same height. The best example is that the pre-Qin Dynasty ruled the country by law, unified the world, and burned books and harassed Confucians.
If it hadn't been for the death of the Second Emperor of Qin Dynasty, I'm afraid Legalism would have been the number one theory in the world.
Yang Tuo just wasn't sure he could win in the competition among hundreds of schools of thought, so he didn't make up his mind for a long time.
Historians are different. They only record history objectively and do not express any opinions. Naturally, they will not conflict with other schools of thought.
No matter which theory wins in the end, historians can use it to pass it down. It just cannot become a prominent school that educates the world.
History cannot be ignored, but it can lay a foundation unconsciously, and there is no doubt that there is a crisis of destruction.
And history is not like many theories, which can only be spread among human races. All races in the ancient world can have their own history, and the ancient world should also have its own history.
