Chapter Forty-Eight: Nuwa Fuxi Double Helix (II)

Many people indulged in the deliberately created atmosphere, fantasizing about this or that scene, recalling the crops they had actually seen, and observing the wheat that had not been frozen to death.

The crisp children's voices mingled with the setting sun, followed by a few simpler and doctored poems.

Shi stood on the east side of the crowd, waiting for everyone to wake up from the drunkenness of the song, ready to explain the simplest and most complex person.

It wasn't the first time he had faced so many people, but it was the first time he had spoken about something complicated, and the audience was only members of the village community.

If he communicates with Mozi, he may be able to explain the binary-like base pair ratio to form tens of thousands of different meanings in eight strokes and ten thousand characters.

It's the same as the characters, but one is eight strokes to make up a lot of differences, and the other is two pairs to write a lot.

It is not necessary to talk about this with these villagers, and it is also a mistake of the kind that Gong Zaoye once said about him: to talk about what the audience cannot listen to, without distinguishing between them.

People have asked him similar questions more than once, and he has been delaying until today, just to prepare for the construction in advance.

When the singing stopped, someone brought a wooden plank that had been brushed with white plaster.

On it, a general picture of Fuxi Nuwa was drawn with charcoal, without any modifications, according to the familiar appearance of people in the world.

The human head is a snake body, and the lower body is intertwined, naturally forming a perfect double helix structure. It's just a coincidence, but it provides plenty of room for the right chisel to be attached.

This picture is suitable for oneself drawing, the upper body with charcoal sketch printmaking means, relying on the foundation of junior high school drawing blackboard painting, the upper body painting at this time is vivid.

The charming Nuwa and the powerful Fuxi show the mother's chest and the muscles of the father's strong outfit......

The snake tail with the intertwined lower body is used to draw three views, creating an intuitive three-dimensional sense of double helix.

Where Fuxi and Nuwa are entangled, countless connected lines are drawn.

This painting, in fact, is an ordinary painting, but in the eyes of the people in the village community, it is beautiful and majestic.

Many people have heard the legend of Fuxi Nuwa, and of course they can see at a glance that this painting is Fuxi Nuwa.

According to the legend, many brothers were born on Kunlun Mountain to achieve the ancestors of human society.

The story leaves an ambiguous place here: in the future, if you are poor, you will only go to Kyushu and be barbarians; If you reach it, you will go far and wide since ancient times.

He did not directly explain the problem of Nuwa's body acquaintance and craftsman, which can be delayed until many years later, and what he wants to talk about is only part of it.

But he didn't start talking directly, but placed several large and small clay pots on the wooden board in front of him.

In front of the clay pot, there is a square made of wood, which is just the right size to fit a large clay pot when viewed from the front.

A large clay pot and a small clay pot were placed in the square, and everyone saw only the large clay pot.

Two more large clay pots were placed, and everyone only saw the large clay pots.

Finally, two small clay pots were placed, and everyone finally saw the small clay pots.

When the truth of this simple clay pot was clarified, Shi finally talked about Nuwa and Fuxi.

"Someone asked me what Nuwa and Fuxi looked like. I haven't seen what it looks like, but I know that Nuwa and Fuxi must have double eyelids and tongues that can curl. ”

After saying that, he stuck out his tongue in the cold wind and curled his tongue.

Many people laughed and followed his example.

It's just that some people can roll and some people can't.

Those who couldn't roll, those who had single eyelids, shouted: "Then aren't we the descendants of Fuxi Nuwa?" ”

Shi smiled and pointed to the square just now, and said, "The tongue can be rolled, it is a large clay pot; The tongue can't be rolled, it's a small clay pot. Nuwa and Fuxi are both large and small clay pots, so you say, if you can see Nuwa Fuxi, can you see a big clay pot or a small clay pot? ”

After speaking, four more clay pots were laid out, two large and two small.

"Nuwa Fuxi, intersecting and giving birth to ten thousand people. But some of these people have double eyelids, and some have single eyelids. Some are tall, some are short. Some people can roll their tongues, and some people can't...... All these things, some people say, are unknowable. But I will say that this is something that Tianzhi can know. ”

"Nuwa Fuxi is for her parents, and if they each give half of it, there are different possibilities."

After reassembling the four pots, many of the people below finally understood.

Shixin said, anyway, Confucius is not a saint now, so let's make up a story about him.

"It is said that Kong Zhongni was born from his parents. His mother had a single eyelid and her tongue didn't roll. His father also had a single eyelid and his tongue could not be curled. Later, when Kong Zhongni grew up and his mother died, he finally found his father. His father looked at him a few times and decided that it was his son. So you say, does Kong Zhongni have a single eyelid or a double eyelid? Can the tongue roll or not? ”

As soon as he finished saying this, many people burst into laughter and answered, and they also recalled the appearance and characteristics of their parents, and became more and more convinced.

But after hearing these words, there were also a few women whose faces changed slightly, and they did not dare to look at their husbands, or hurriedly turned their heads to the side, and their hearts fluttered.

Xin said that he just wanted to hear about the paradise, how would he know that this Tianzhi could still cause those unspeakable things before?

Shi knew that his words would cause many family conflicts, but he didn't care.

After making a metaphor with the big clay pot and the small clay pot and the wooden square, everyone basically accepted this point of view.

Originated from the parents, it is natural that the parents each give half and combine to form a new person, which is a simple truth.

But this simple truth has made many things that are difficult to understand and thought that destiny is destined to become enlightened.

Shi pointed to the intertwined tail of Nuwa Fuxi, a double helix he had drawn, and pointed to the lines on it, and said, "This intersecting line after another, each of which represents a characteristic. According to the division of my Mo family's big and small reasons, it can be called big and small. ”

"Remember one sentence, two big must be big, two small must be small, one big and one small will only be big."

"There are tens of thousands of these characteristics, not all I know, but I know some of them. For example, tongue, chin, skin color, curly and uncurled hair, eyelids, deaf and dumb...... I will say them one by one, and you will look at them one by one to see if this is the case. ”

As he spoke, everyone looked at each other, most of them nodded, and a few looked at their wives with angry faces.

Those who have angry faces choose to believe in Shi at this time, rather than choosing to believe in their wives.

Shi Youdao: "When someone gives birth to a child who is deaf or dumb or has a crippled lip, he thinks that he has done something wrong and angered God, and even thinks that this is a punishment. But it's not. It's just that you have such a small appearance, and your wife also happens to have a small appearance, the two of you are normal, but the children born may be double Xiaoxian. ”

"The ancient sages knew about such a celestial will, so they formulated a ritual, the same surname does not marry, and brothers and sisters do not sleep. This is why many of the practices of the ancient sages were based on the will of heaven, and they may have thought that they could not make sense with the people of the world, so they hid such truths in the rituals. ”

But not all etiquette is in accordance with the will of heaven. Mr. Mo Zhai once said, I have the will to be like a craftsman and rules, just measure. What is in accordance with the will of heaven, we will inherit; If it does not conform to the will of heaven, we will correct it. Only in this way can we reach the ultimate paradise. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, he pointed to Fuxi Nuwa and said, "Someone once asked me, if the heavenly ghosts were still alive, what would they think of us?" ”

This question is a question that many people have.

Will the heavenly ghosts feel that people at this time are guilty? Do you feel that people are morally depraved at this time? Do you think that this is because you are suffering against the will of the heavenly ghosts? What should a man do to make a ghost like him?

This is a moral issue, and Shi Shi has his own understanding of the word morality.

So in the face of this question, he laughed and said, "Before the Heavenly Ghost was alive, he knew all the Heavenly Wills. In his eyes, beauty or ugliness, single or double, is just the law of heaven and earth. ”

After a pause, he drew a single double helix diagram, which was just the tail of Fuxi Nuwa, but not the head.

Pointing to this double helix diagram, he said: "If the Heavenly Ghost is alive, judging from his eyes that are well versed in the Heavenly Will, you, me, and those princes are just such double helixes. He can't see single and double eyelids, he can only see big and small, so the eye of the heavenly ghost can't see people, but he can infer people. ”

"All of us, in the eyes of the heavenly ghosts, are the same double helix, but these intersecting lines are different. What's the difference? Therefore, all the people in the world, in the eyes of those who know the will of heaven, are equal, and there is no natural nobility or inferiority. ”

He took the opportunity to preach the idea of a wave of ink masters, and then said: "Then now that you know this kind of heavenly will, I ask you. If the wheat grains are large and the grains are small, then when choosing wheat seeds, should you choose large or small ones? ”

This is a question that doesn't need to be asked, because even if these people don't know the concept, they already know what kind of wheat seed to choose.

When asked in this way, these people immediately changed from knowing what it was to knowing why. Those who thought that it should be like this question turned out to be such a hidden Tianzhi, and I believe that the Tianzhi mentioned by Shi Shi can really explain a lot of things.

Shi said: "The same surname is not married, brothers and sisters do not sleep, this is in line with the will of heaven, but this kind of etiquette should not be put on cattle and horses and other animals." On the contrary, the more close relatives are, the easier it is to give birth to the heirs of Shuang Daxian, and of course it is possible to give birth to the children of Shuang Xiaoxian. ”

Shi Shi smiled and said: "But the cow and horse gave birth to two small cubs, and we fell to death." But the parents gave birth to two small children, who could bear to fall to death? This is the difference between humans and animals, and it is also the reason why human etiquette cannot be applied to animals. Anyone who wants to apply human etiquette to animals is a person who does not understand and distort the will of heaven. Beware of such people, they are the greatest enemies that hinder us from reaching the Promised Land! ”

Everyone firmly remembered this sentence, and Shi said: "The will is endless, but it can also be learned and understood." Just as I can now know how big and small the eyelids and chin hair are, but there's more than I can know now. ”

"We ink artists will find ways to comprehend more Tianzhi, and in the future, we will breed pigs weighing hundreds of catties, sheep that eat less and grow fat, sheep that specialize in wool, seeds that can grow faster to prepare for famine and frost, and horses that weigh up to 2,000 catties that specialize in cultivating land...... It's not impossible. ”

He has been talking for so long, but he has not actually solved the question of where it came from, but has only explained a small part of the problem.

But these questions are enough for these people to believe in Tianzhi, and they are enough for them to digest for a while.

As for more, that's done slowly after that.

He used Tianzhi to explain the hidden substances behind some rituals, causing people to think about the origin of things, and what is the origin of morality and etiquette.

He used the double helix of people in the eyes of the heavenly ghosts to tell people that in fact, all living beings are equal in the eyes of the heavenly ghosts, and he is actually preparing for the future explanation of the heavenly ghosts......

Maybe the future heavenly ghost is more like an emotionless robot who enlightens people with knowledge after the destruction of the world, and when he sees the thriving world one day and is happy and wants to integrate into the world, he dies.

Therefore, the heavenly ghosts like everything about people, the beautiful and the ugly, the good and the vicious, for the heavenly ghosts, it is a vibrant human world.

He used Tianzhi to explain the relationship between human appearance and parents, which attracted many people to listen to it and feel curious, and also provided new ideas for the matter of crops.

After he used the Celestial Decree to explain the appearance of human beings to attract people, he said that the Paradise was a deduction of knowing the Celestial Will, and as long as people believed in the matter of single and double eyelids, then they would also believe that the Paradise was in line with the Celestial Will, in addition to the seeds and techniques.

Perhaps he will soon be leaving the village. But there are always traces when he walks by, and after he leaves, these words will also spread everywhere around the center of this village community.

Maybe after he leaves, many families will quarrel, and many children will curl their tongues and wonder about their parents' eyelids.

Maybe after he leaves, one day when there is a New Year's painting, Fuxi Nuwa's picture will become the appearance of a thin line connected at the end, which is no longer the same as before.

Maybe after he leaves, these singing teenagers will grow up and change their voices, but there will be new children who will take their place and pass on this habit.

As Gongzao said, thousands of villages and communities are the world.

Everything he did here, and the way he did, would spread throughout Kyushu like wildfire in the autumn plains, spread by the ink people he cultivated, in a way similar to religion and in line with the perception of people at that time.

After this meeting, he has completed the beginning of what he wants to do in the village community, and also provides a model that can be implemented.

As long as there is enough money, buy cattle and smelt iron, rent and lend it to the people of the village community, and have the ability to protect these things from being robbed by others, they can spread faster, more profitable, and gather more people.

As long as there are people in the village community, then follow the map and continue to do it according to the gourd. Just like planting, he planted a seed, and in a dozen years he could harvest many of these villages.

And now, he has let Mozi see everything he wants Mozi to see, and he can finally leave this village community and focus on the affairs of the city, the affairs of the officials, the affairs of the nobles, and the affairs of the nations.
