The Secret History of Xuanmen

Chapter 348 End
Seeing the cauldron and ladder on the mural, Lu Ban was also surprised. He didn't expect that the saint Laozi would leave such a mural.

Although he didn't know the deeper meaning of this mural, Lu Ban probably knew why Mozi found him.Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, the ladder on the tripod was indeed very consistent with his status as the world's number one craftsman.

At this moment, Luban's curiosity was completely aroused, so he immediately started studying the first mural.

There are five murals on the cave wall. The first mural is the most complex and contains the most information.

In the first mural, the most eye-catching thing is the vast sky. The sky in the mural is divided into two. The left half of the sky is white, with clear sky and clear sky.The sky on the right half is black, with rolling black clouds and a dark curtain covering the sky, which is extremely suffocating.

This clear black and white sky is like Tai Chi Liang Yi, which seems to symbolize the balance of yin and yang.

However, through Mozi's previous narration, Lu Ban knew that the meaning was not like this. The white and black sky may represent the way of innateness and the way of nurture.

And the picture on the ground in this first mural also verifies this point.

Under the white innate sky, the people painted were all standing upright. Although their clothes were not gorgeous, their eyes were extremely determined, exuding an extraordinary aura.Moreover, in front of these people, a road leading to the sky was drawn, which seemed to mean that mortals could also ascend to the sky.

Under the black sky on the right, people were hunched over, looking extremely humble, and their eyes were even more cautious and frightened.There is no longer a way to reach the sky beside them. Instead, there is a rope falling from the sky, symbolizing binding and fishing.

After reading this first mural, Lu Ban can probably understand what Mozi said.

He quickly looked at the second painting. The second painting was relatively simple and not difficult to understand.

This second painting is about Ziya's conferment of gods. The immortals in the world collectively conferred the gods to heaven and ranked among the immortals. After that, the sky completely turned black.

This means that the human world has completely entered the era of acquired nature, and this also verifies what Mozi said earlier that Ziya's conferring of gods was the watershed between innate and acquired nature.

So Lu Ban continued to look at the third mural. This mural was the most grand. Although the sky in the mural was black, the people in the earth shrouded in black were constantly growing. The vicissitudes of the sea, the white clouds and the dogs, after the changes of the times, People's lives are obviously getting better and better, their clothes are getting more and more gorgeous, their lives are getting richer, and the world they live in is becoming more and more exciting and vast.

This mural seems to be saying that even in the era of tomorrow, it will still not affect people's lives. Even in the era of tomorrow, with people's wisdom and hard work, life will become better and better.

However, Luban knew that this might not be the case, because there was another detail hidden in this mural.

In this mural, there is a looming huge eye hidden in the black sky. This eye has been monitoring the human world. Next to the eye of the sky is a huge heavenly sword, as if it may cut off the human world without any growth at any time. …

When I talked about this third mural, my curiosity had been completely aroused, but Mo Chen stopped abruptly.

Mo Chen looked at me solemnly and asked: "Come to the hall, what do you think of this third mural? Is there anything you want to ask?"

I said truthfully: "I haven't been able to see the mural with my own eyes. Judging from what you said, old hall master, it seems that we have really entered the era of tomorrow. There is really an extraordinary terrifying power shrouding the top of humanity. As long as we Mortals can still live and work in peace and contentment if they don't act recklessly and don't offend the mysterious forces of heaven, or even get better and better?"

I am not talking nonsense. Judging from the content of the murals, it is indeed true. From the perspective of human history, from the social development of thousands of years ago to the present, we have indeed made breakthroughs time and time again. Today, the ancients would not even dare to think about it. Think of the modern world.

Mo Chen nodded and said: "Yes, the founder thought the same thing when he saw this mural. But he didn't know what would happen in the world behind, but we are really living more than 2000 years later. world. If you see that mural with your own eyes, you might change your mind."

I wondered: "Oh? Old hall master, according to you, there are hidden messages in this third mural, details that only our descendants can understand?"

Mo Chen nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, in that mural, the nodes of each dynasty change clearly appeared, although the names of dynasties such as Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming were not clearly specified. , but the general timeline is consistent with the changes in our dynasties!"

Hearing this, my hair stood on end.

Because this seems to mean that the controllers of the possible acquired ways seem to be able to predict the future, and even this so-called future is controlled and promoted by them.

Just imagine, every time a dynasty is supposed to change, even if the world is originally peaceful, as long as they manipulate the dragon veins and cause some natural and man-made disasters to occur in the world, they can really cause chaos in the world, causing wars to break out and people to live in dire straits.

Thinking of this, I was secretly frightened, and gained a new understanding of this mysterious master of acquired wisdom. If they really exist, we mortals may not even be considered ants.

And Mo Chen's next words completely changed my fear into fear.

Mo Chen said: "What's even more fatal is that the era of this third mural will end more than 2000 years later, that is, in our era."
