Seeing that all the disciples were looking at him, Yuanshi knew what they were expecting, so he said, "After Gaoyang, the second of the Five Emperors, the Teacher of Human Sovereign, also belongs to the Chan Sect. At that time, the Teacher of Human Sovereign will be assisted by Taiyi!"
Hearing this, the Immortal of Taiyi was delighted, while the other disciples were jealous. Among the 12 Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Guang Chengzi was most favored by Yuanshi, and he was the eldest disciple, so it was reasonable for him to be the Teacher of Human Sovereign. However, the Immortal of Taiyi was not the second younger brother. Just because he was favored by Yuanshi and was second only to Guang Chengzi, he could be the Teacher of Human Sovereign.
… ….
Xuanyuan passed the position of the Lord of the Human Tribe to his grandson, Gaoyang. Gaoyang was called Emperor Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors, and Xuanyuan was called the Yellow Emperor by the Human Tribe. Since then, the Three Emperors of the Human Tribe, Heaven, Earth, and Human Sovereign, had achieved perfection, and their luck had increased again.
After Zhuanxu took over the position of the Lord of the Human Tribe, he began an important religious reform. Although the Jiuli Tribe, which was conquered by the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, surrendered to him, most of them were wizards, and they still believed in the Wu people, Zu Wu, and ghosts. Therefore, Zhuanxu forced them to obey the teachings of the Yellow Emperor, promoted the cultural integration between the tribes, and made them develop.
Naturally, the reputation of the Ren Tribe in the Human Tribe soared under the propaganda of Zhuanxu, and the Chan Sect, which had been prosperous in the era of Xuanyuan, was also suppressed by the Ren Tribe. It was not Xuandu's request, but Zhuanxu needed to use the reputation of the Ren Tribe to stabilize his position as the Lord of the Human Tribe.
At the same time, Zhuanxu attached great importance to the management of human affairs and worked hard to develop agriculture. Due to the change in the way of production, men gradually became the dominant force in the clans, and the status of women gradually declined. Moreover, Zhuanxu created the Nine Prefectures according to the territory of the tribes, and established a ruling institution. He studied the difference between men and women, the order of seniority, reformed the calendar, and set the four seasons and the 24 solar terms.
At that time, there was a yellow water monster in the southwest of the Yellow Emperor, who often spat out yellow water to flood the farmland and destroy the houses. Zhuanxu heard of it and decided to subdue it. However, the monster was powerful. Although Zhuanxu was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and had learned the Taoism, he was still weak, and could not subdue the monster. after fighting for eighty-one days.
Therefore, Zhuanxu invited his master, Xuandu Taoist. After Xuandu Taoist knew the purpose of his visit, he gave Zhuanxu a Heavenly King Sword and taught him how to use it. Zhuanxu used the Heavenly King Sword to defeat the yellow water monster. In order to benefit the Human Tribe, he used the Heavenly King Sword to turn the Great Sand Mound into a mountain and named it Fuyu Mountain. He also used the sword to draw a river beside the mountain and named it Nitric River.
After seventy-eight years, Zhuanxu's merit was complete, and the Heavenly Merit was bestowed upon him, and he became the Human Sovereign Dao Fruit. Xuandu Taoist also received the Human Sovereign Merit, but he did not absorb it. Instead, he kept it, and no one knew what he would do with it. After Zhuanxu Taoism, the position of the Lord of the Human Tribe was passed to Di Ku.
Legend had it that Di Ku, or Gao Xin, was born with spiritual Qi. When he was born, he could call out his own name. He was even accepted as a disciple by the Taiyi Immortal under the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. The Taiyi Immortal spent a lot of effort to study the Human Tribe after he was unable to solve the Human Tribe's trade. Not only did he teach Di Ku the ways of cultivation, but he also gave some suggestions on the governance of the Human Tribe.
After Di Ku succeeded the throne, he gave a lot of benefits to the people, but they were not as good as him. He had sharp eyes and ears, and he could understand the situation from afar, and he could see the details clearly. He followed the will of the Heavens and understood the people's worries. He was benevolent and dignified, gentle and trustworthy. He cultivated himself, and the world submitted to him.
He collected the products of the land and used them thriftily. He comforted and educated the people, teaching them all kinds of useful things. He calculated the movement of the sun and the moon to determine the time of the year, and respectfully welcomed and sent the sun and the moon in and out. He knew the ghosts and gods, and served them carefully. He was dignified and virtuous, and he acted according to the time, and he ate like a scholar.
Di Ku ruled the people, just like the rain watering the fields, and he was impartial. He spread all over the world, and wherever the sun and moon shone, wherever the wind and rain fell, there was no one who did not submit to him. The history books said, "Ancestor from Xuanyuan, descendant of Xuanyao. Mu De ruled the world. He pacified the heaven and earth, divine and spiritual guests, taught the four seas, and the sun was bright. "
It was worth mentioning that Di Ku had a few sons who were very famous in the history of China. It was said that Di Ku had four concubines. The eldest concubine was called Jiang Yuan, the daughter of the King of Youtai. It was said that when Jiang Yuan was in her mother's house, she became pregnant after stepping on the footprints of a giant. Because she did not have a husband, she gave birth to the child three times in deep alleys, deserted forests, and cold ice. She was protected by cows, sheep, tigers, leopards, and hundreds of birds, so she named the child "Qi". Later, when he grew up, he liked agriculture, and taught people how to grow crops. He was honored as Hou Ji, and became the ancestor of the Zhou people.
The second concubine, Jian Di, was the daughter of the King of Yousong. It was said that when Jian Di was in her mother's house, she and her sister went to the Xuanchi Hot Spring to take a bath during the autumn equinox. A swallow flew by, leaving behind an egg, which was swallowed by Jian Di. After she became pregnant, she became the ancestor of the Shang clan.
The third concubine, Qing Du, was said to be the daughter of the Great Emperor. She was born in the Wilderness of Douwei, and was adopted by a woman named Chen Feng. After Chen Feng died, she was adopted by Yin Zhangru. Later, Qing Du followed her adoptive father Yin Zhangru to Puyang. Because Qing Du's head was always covered by a yellow cloud, she was regarded as an extraordinary woman.
The fourth concubine, Chang Yi, was smart, beautiful, and had long legs. The first concubine was called Di Nu, and the second concubine was called Zhi. Zhi and Yao both inherited the throne and became emperors. From this, it could be seen that the Xuanyuan bloodline had spread out. After Xuanyuan, the five emperors and the Shang and Zhou dynasties were all his descendants who controlled the world. Therefore, many later generations respected Xuanyuan as the ancestor of Yan and Huang.
During Di Ku's reign, he was deeply influenced by the Taiyi Zhenren, and the Taiyi Zhenren had a gentle temperament. Therefore, when Di Ku governed the human race, he was benevolent, unlike Xuanyuan and Zhuanxu who wantonly went on expeditions. If the greatest contribution of Xuanyuan and Zhuanxu was to unify the human race and establish the concept of a country for the human race, then Di Ku's greatest achievement was to restore the happy and healthy life of the Shennong era.
Di Ku lived with the people and stopped the expeditions. Many barbarians were inspired by him to accept peace, and the human race entered a peaceful and prosperous era. Therefore, Di Ku felt the great virtue of the Taiyi Zhenren and vigorously promoted the Chanism, causing the Chanism's prestige to soar again in the human race, far surpassing that of the Ren School.
Dozens of years passed, and at this time, Di Ku had been on the throne for seventy years. Now, the world was under great rule, and the people lived in peace and contentment. Di Ku also completed his merit and lived in seclusion in the sacred land of the human race. When he left, merit fell from the heavens. The Taiyi Zhenren received a portion, and his cultivation directly rose to the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian. Although there was merit for the Five Emperors, it was far less than the Three Emperors. The Taiyi Zhenren only received a portion of merit, and his cultivation naturally did not rise much.
However, Di Ku also had his own selfish motives. He loved his fourth concubine, Chang Yi's son, Zhi. Therefore, after abdicating, he passed the throne to Zhi. Zhi was ambitious but not talented, and had a tyrannical nature. She had ruled the world for nine years, but her governance was not good, and the people were angry. Because she did not have anyone to support her, her prestige was not enough to deter the various forces in the tribe.
Therefore, under the pressure of various parties, after discussing with the people, Zhi abdicated and passed the throne to the disciple of the Pharmacist of the West, Yao. This Yao was also Zhi's younger brother, Yao. His surname was Yiqi, and his name was Fangxun. When he was fifteen years old, he was conferred the title of Marquis of Tang. He shared weal and woe with the people in the land of Tang, developed agriculture, and properly handled all kinds of government affairs. He governed the land of Tang in an orderly manner, and not only was he supported by the people, he was also praised by many tribes.
Fangxun was the emperor, and his title was Yao. Because he was conferred the title of Tang, he used Tang as the codename. This was the first dynasty in the history of our country. Later generations called him Tang Yao. It was said that Emperor Yao's benevolence was like the sky, and his wisdom was like a god. Being close to him was like the sun that warmed people's hearts, and looking up at him was like the clouds that moistened the earth.
He was rich but not arrogant, noble but not indulgent. He wore a yellow hat and black clothes, and drove a red carriage with a white horse. He was able to respect the virtuous people, and made the people of the same tribe love each other. The people of the same tribe were already harmonious, and he also inspected the officials. The officials' achievements were clear, and all the feudal states were able to live in harmony.
After Tang Yao ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Marquis of Tang to his brother Zhi in the land of Tang. He learned from his brother Zhi's mistakes, and with the support of the Pharmacist, he quickly stabilized the human race. Tang Yao often went deep into the remote and remote areas, and went to the mountains to investigate, to seek for the virtuous, to examine the political gains and losses, and to choose virtuous people, fearing that they would be buried. There were virtuous people in the wilderness.
