Chapter 62 Dong Huang and 9 Songs
Chapter 62 Donghuang and Jiuge
'Physiograph?'
Looking at this new fragment of Dao Fruit, Chu Tai was somewhat surprised. It was different from [Announcement of Dawn], [Chao Guang] and [Coroner]. It was impossible to obtain complete knowledge by mastering the fragment of Dao Fruit. The power contained therein could only be obtained through absorption.
As for the reason, it lies in the special nature of the power of physiognomy.
According to Chu Tai's observation, as long as the [Face Reading] fruit fragment is absorbed, the spiritual power will be greatly enhanced in observing the future, and some passive divination abilities similar to talents will be obtained.
At the same time, you will get a lot of information about face reading and some divination methods about predicting the future. For the former, after writing down the characteristics, you can barely follow the method and search for it. For the latter, you need to cooperate with another talent "Qi-watching" obtained after absorbing [Face Reading].
According to Chu Tai's perception, the "qi observation" brought by [face reading] is somewhat different from the "qi" in the popular sense, and its nature is more in line with another thing called "fate".
[Face Reading] One can keenly perceive the relationships between people and see the compatibility between different people by "observing qi". One can also easily remember every person one has met, and through divination and rituals, one can sense the intersections that those people will have in the past, present or future.
Simply put, this is a Dao Fruit fragment that has almost no improvement on one's own strength, but has very special properties and abilities.
Chu Tai emptied his mind slightly and looked inward at the Donghuang Bell in his mind.
Chu Tai now has or has come into contact with quite a number of Dao fruit fragments, except for the alienated true Qi left by Taoist Fuguang, which is lacking in the prerequisites, incomplete, and not completely stabilized.
The remaining Daoguo fragments and related information have corresponding locations around the Donghuang Bell.
Speaking of which, Chu Tai has also studied the aura around the Donghuang Bell over the years. He called it the Donghuang Bell based on the word "Donghuang" he saw a Taoist shout out when he obtained the power of the Taoist fruit fragment "Boy" in the past.
Based on the eight or nine illusory figures beside the Donghuang Bell, he suspected that these auras might correspond to the Jiuge pantheon in his memories of his previous life, or the Chudi pantheon.
Of course, the Jiuge pantheon here does not simply refer to the ten gods Donghuang Taiyi, Yunzhongjun, Xiangjun, Xiangfuren, Dasimi, Shaosimi, Dongjun, Hebo, Shan Gui and Guoshang.
Rather, it is the symbolic meaning derived from these gods. After all, the concepts of some gods in the Nine Songs and Ten Gods system are too narrow or repetitive. If they are really to be arranged, there will inevitably be a relationship of high and low, front and back, and they will not surround the Donghuang Bell and basically maintain the same height.
The figure among them is extremely pure and clear, with a bright light that unifies all things. There is also a mist flowing, and it contains a mighty aura of heavenly power, which may refer to Donghuang Taiyi himself.
The one who carries all things on the side, is as solemn as a mountain, and as virtuous as the earth may be Hou Tu, or a concept like the big landlord. Concepts like mountain ghost, palace landlord, and wild landlord should be covered by it.
The one with magnificent power, brilliance and vastness, and thousands of rays of light flowing down, may be Dongjun, a symbol of the sun and light. The evidence is the information obtained from the Taoist Fuguang, the two fragments of the Tao fruit, [Announcement of the Dawn] and [Chaoguang], which are hung under this figure.
What followed was a series of human figures that he couldn't tell at first whether it was one or two, entangled with each other, twisted and intertwined.
Now, Chu Tai suspects that it is Xiang Jun and Xiang Furen, but the core concept of their symbols should not be the Xiang River, but concepts such as karma, entanglement, love, and fate.
Perhaps these two also have certain overlapping concepts of destiny among the gods. The evidence is that the newly acquired [Face Reading] is linked to these two shadows.
The remaining He Bo should overlap with concepts such as flood, and carries certain symbolic meanings such as flow, tracing, and returning to the source.
Shao Siming should be life, but its specific manifestation and actual symbolic meaning cannot be determined for the time being. Da Siming is the god of death, the god of the underworld. In addition to controlling death, it should also include concepts of evil spirits such as national martyrdom, forced death, military death, water, drowning, death in Jing, and death in Xia. One of the evidences is that [Coroner] is attached to the figure that Chu Tai suspects is Da Siming.
But now there is a problem.
'Why are [Boy] and [Wandering Scholar] attached to the figure that seems to be Yun Zhongjun? What is the connection between the two, or is there something I don't know about the final direction of [Boy] and [Wandering Scholar]?'
'Also, according to the original Chu mythology, Shao Siming and Da Siming should also be part of the various gods. Can they really be separated out separately?'
'Finally, what is the connection between the Chu State on this land and the Chu land in my memory of my previous life?'
There were so many distracting thoughts in Chu Tai's mind that he couldn't sort them out for a while. He closed his eyes and waited for his mood to calm down a little. Guo Shan beside him had already handed him the water.
Chu Tai waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary. He looked up and was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He looked Guo Shan up and down. Although he knew that Guo Shan had a special physique, otherwise it would be impossible for him to grow so tall and tall despite his congenital deficiencies and the hardships he suffered later in life. He could also absorb the vitality from the ground on his own and condense the foul air from the souls and the miscellaneous air from the remains and bones.
But Chu Tai really had no idea what his physical condition was or what abilities he had.
Just now, Chu Tai had spied on a lot of the information recorded in [Face Reading] when he was confirming it. Even if he did not absorb it, he still wrote down many of the facial features.
Now, when I compare it with Guo Shan, I feel something is not right.
Guo Shan's appearance could barely be called handsome, but because of his simple and honest character, and his past foolish behavior, people always overlooked some of the characteristics of his appearance.
Now, Chu Tai observed carefully and found that Guo Shan's five facial features and three parts of his face each had its own characteristics and were relatively independent, especially the upper part, which had a certain sense of separation from the middle and lower parts.
According to the records of [Face Reading], this is generally a manifestation of the good deeds of the ancestors gathered in the body. Looking at the position of his facial features, Chu Tai vaguely guessed that this guy's ancestors might have produced some talented people, and their abilities may even be retained in his blood.
After being passed down from generation to generation, it reappeared in Guo Shan's generation.
'Perhaps, it has been manifested since his father's generation?'
Chu Tai recalled that Wang Lan had someone take away the remains of Guo Shan's father, and he began to wonder which generation the bloodline awakening began.
Seeing Chu Tai thinking again, Guo Shan stood aside and said nothing more. He just waited and waited. When the sound of firecrackers below faded away, he asked a question.
"master?"
Chu Tai turned around, calculated the time, and took Guo Shan to collect the necessary energy, while preparing for the next day's energy gathering.
The content of face reading is pure fabrication.
