Chapter 213 Goodbye to the Three Emperors in Fire Cloud Cave
However, the Three Emperors felt relieved knowing that it was Yang Tuo who did it.
Xuanyuan Holy Emperor said to Fuxi and Shennong: "This Yang Tuo is indeed the genius of the human race. He has only practiced for three hundred years and has already reached this point!"
Holy Emperor Shennong continued: "It is indeed good. Now that there is such a commotion, it seems that he has found his own way!"
Fuxi nodded and sighed: "He is a human race, but he is a great blessing!"
"But it is a bit unsightly to make such a commotion. Although he used the spiritual treasure to cover up the secret, his cultivation is not enough after all. I will help him again!"
As he finished speaking, Fuxi performed the innate Bagua with his hands. A huge Bagua diagram spread out from the Fire Cloud Cave, and the unusual movements between heaven and earth were completely covered up.
Even the Hunyuan Saint couldn't notice it.
This was Emperor Fuxi's confidence. Even a saint might not be able to defeat him when it comes to concealing secrets and deductions.
Yang Tuo didn't know this at this time. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the compilation of history books. Above his head, a picture scroll had been slowly opened. Whatever he recorded in the history books could be revealed in the picture scroll.
.
Suddenly, the opened picture scroll came to an abrupt end. However, Yang Tuo had already recorded it up to now, which was only about three hundred years in total, and he completed the recording very quickly.
Moreover, history will only record major events, and ordinary events will not be recorded at all, so the recording will end soon.
Yang Tuo raised his head and saw the scroll above his head. The scroll had not been fully unfolded at all, but now it was slowly folded up again.
He sighed and said: "Sure enough, it still doesn't work!"
"It seems we have to return to Fire Cloud Cave and ask for help from the sages of the human race!"
He stood up, took back the Qiankun Diagram, and flew towards the Fire Cloud Cave without stopping at all.
As for going to Kunlun Mountain to look for caves, we have to put it aside for now. Compared to the road, a mere cave is nothing!
Yang Tuoteng drove through the mist and hurried all the way. In just a few days, he arrived in front of the Fire Cloud Cave.
The gatekeepers were still Jia Qi and another unknown senior. When Jia Qi saw Yang Tuo arriving, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Why do you have time to come to Huoyun Cave?"
Yang Tuo first bowed to the two of them and replied: "I need your help from all the sages for some things, so I came here!"
After Jia Qi heard this, he immediately said: "Then you come with me!"
Jia Qi didn't ask too many questions. Although he entered Taoism very early, he was still in the Golden Immortal realm, and even Taiyi had never entered it.
He believed that he could not help Yang Tuo with the problems he encountered, so he took him to see His Majesty the Three Emperors.
The three Holy Emperors were already waiting for Yang Tuo in the main hall. As soon as Yang Tuo entered the main hall, he saluted and said: "It is really shameful for Yang Tuo, a latecomer from the human race, to disturb the Qing Dynasty of the three Holy Emperors!"
Holy Emperor Xuanyuan said with a smile: "I think it will take hundreds of millions of years for this Fire Cloud Cave to be repaired. It only takes you three to five years to come here. How can you disturb us!"
Then he asked Yang Tuodao: "What problems have arisen while writing the book and need our help?"
Yang Tuo was stunned when he heard this. He wrote the "History Book" in the nameless valley, and also used the innate spiritual treasure world map to cover up the secret of heaven. He didn't expect the three emperors to still know about it.
Seeing his expression, the three Holy Emperors couldn't help but smile knowingly, understanding what Yang Tuo was thinking.
Emperor Fuxi opened his mouth and explained: "Although you used spiritual treasures to hide the secrets of heaven, the book you wrote is related to us after all. That's why we followed the secret feeling and took a peek!"
"Write a book and say something. It's not something that can't be seen. You don't have to worry about it. Anyone who is powerful will naturally respond to someone's call. If you record us in the book, we will naturally know about it!"
Only then did Yang Tuo realize that this was a world where immortals and gods manifested themselves. Whatever is said must be felt!
Of course, it is not without effect that he used the Qiankun Diagram to conceal the secrets of heaven. At least ordinary people would not know about it even if it were recorded in a book.
Only powerful men like Laozi and Fuxi, who are related to Yang Tuo, can find out more.
Thinking about it this way, the saints must also know it. But it doesn't matter. It is just writing a book and setting up a biography, and it is not blasphemous.
He covered it up with the Qiankun Diagram just to avoid being disturbed.
Yang Tuo came back to his senses, bowed first, and then said: "My disciple wanted to write a "History Book" in the valley. I didn't want my disciple to be shallow and know very little, so I came to Huoyun Cave to ask the sages for help!"
At this time, Shennong asked: "What is a history book?"
Yang Tuo replied: "Books that record historical development are history books!"
Shennong asked again: "What is a book?"
Yang Tuo hurriedly took out the history book and presented it to the three holy emperors, saying: "The disciples made something that can be written on from grass and trees, called it 'paper', and bound it into a book with paper to record wisdom. This is a book!"
Xuanyuan Holy Emperor first took the history book, read it over, and said happily: "This book is very good, especially this paper, it will be of great benefit to the development of the human race!"
After saying that, he handed the history book to Fuxi and said: "You two royal brothers can take a look. If this paper is popularized, it will definitely have a huge impact on the human race!"
After Fuxi and Shennong had seen it and they nodded, Fuxi said: "What the emperor brother said is true. As long as it is popularized, the luck of our human race will greatly increase!"
Yang Tuo saw that the Three Emperors had read the history books, but only praised the paper, and did not mention a word about his own history books. He thought that his historian was nothing more than that.
He couldn't help but doubt whether the path he chose was correct, but after all, he was no longer a mortal.
I just had a little idea and made up my mind. Now that I have chosen a path, I must go on without hesitation.
In fact, he had some misunderstandings. The reason why the Three Emperors only praised paper and did not mention the books he wrote was because everyone was in different positions.
What the three emperors need is to strengthen the human race. If the human race grows, the three emperors will naturally benefit from it. The history book is just Yang Tuo's way. Although it can educate all living beings, it is no different from other education methods!
But paper is different. Paper can affect the entire human race, and all doctrines can be used. As long as paper replaces bamboo slips, animal skins, gold foil, jade slips, etc., the cultural dissemination of the human race will definitely be more convenient and efficient.
From the perspective of the Three Emperors, the moment they saw the history books, they understood the value of paper. It is cheap, light, and efficient. Although it has the disadvantage of being difficult to preserve, it is not an unacceptable flaw for the human race.
Therefore, the Three Emperors paid more attention to paper than history books.
Among them, Yang Tuo underestimated the role of paper. He used paper to write books and wrote the first book in the world. This may be a crucial step that will affect his path, just like establishing a historian.
After the Three Emperors determined the role of paper, they paid attention to the history books written by Yang Tuo.
It was Emperor Xuanyuan who was the first to speak: "What is your purpose in writing history books?"
Yang Tuo replied: "If you use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs. If you use history as a guide, you will be wise so that future generations will not repeat the same mistakes!"
"Although it does not provide specific teaching, it can enable people to understand on their own. The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. There will always be something to gain!"
The three emperors looked at each other and both said: "Good!"
