Chapter 348 The End
Seeing the cauldron and the ladder on the mural, Lu Ban was also surprised. He didn't expect that Saint Laozi would leave such a mural.
Although he does not know the deeper meaning of this mural, Lu Ban probably knows 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 researching from 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.
The pictures on the ground in this first mural also verify this.
Under the white sky of the innate way, the people painted are all standing upright. Although their clothes are not gorgeous, their eyes are extremely determined, revealing an extraordinary feeling. gas. 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 way to reach the sky next to 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 conferment 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 huge looming eye hidden in the black sky. This eye has been monitoring the world. Next to the eye of the sky is a huge sky knife, as if it could happen at any time. Cut off the human world until not a single blade of grass grows. ……
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 told the truth. Said: "I have not been able to see the mural with my own eyes. Judging from what you said, old hall master, it seems that even if we have really entered the era of tomorrow. There is really an extraordinary power of terror shrouding the top of humanity. As long as I If we mortals don't act recklessly and don't offend the mysterious forces of heaven, we can still live and work in peace and contentment, or even get better? From the perspective of human history, from the development of society thousands of years ago to the present, we have indeed made breakthroughs time and time again, creating a modern world that today's ancients could not even imagine.
Mo Chen nodded and said: "Yes, the founder thought the same way when he saw this mural. But he didn't know what would happen in the world behind, but we really Living in the world more than two thousand years later, if you see that mural with your own eyes, you may 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. He nodded and said: "Yes, in that mural, it is clearly The nodes of each dynasty change appear. Although the names of dynasties such as Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming are not clearly specified, the general timeline is consistent with our dynasty changes. ”
Hearing this, my hair stood on end.
Because this seems to mean that the possible controllers of the acquired way seem to be able to predict the future, and even this so-called future is controlled and promoted by them.
Imagine that every time a dynasty is supposed to change, even if the world is originally peaceful, they only need to manipulate the dragon veins to cause some natural and man-made disasters in the world, and they can really cause chaos in the world, and wars will break out everywhere. The people are 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 two thousand years later, that is, in our era."
