Chapter 233 The Five Emperors Establish Laws

Since Emperor Xuanyuan of the prehistoric human race achieved the status of Emperor and sat in Huoyun Cave, the era of the Three Sovereigns’ rule ended and entered a new era of the Five Emperors’ rule.

The Three Sovereigns ruled the world, and the Five Emperors set the order.

After Emperor Xuanyuan of the prehistoric human race, his grandson Zhuanxu inherited the throne and built his capital in Diqiu. During his reign, Zhuanxu rearranged the land of Shenzhou of the human race, and the human race had its territorial boundaries for the first time.

Zhuanxu ruled the country with virtue.

Zhuanxu improved the ruling institutions, set up the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and managed the affairs of the five directions of southeast, northwest, and center.

Because some human races were integrated into the Jiuli tribe, the previous rule was different, and the religious culture was different. The Jiuli people believed in witchcraft and abandoned human affairs. Everything was decided by divination. Every family of the people had a witch to do divination. They did not worship heaven and earth, and were not at ease with agricultural production. The life of the human race was in turmoil. Zhuanxu ordered the prohibition of witchcraft, personally offered sacrifices to the heaven and earth ancestors, set an example for all people, encouraged people to accept their fate and cultivate land, and restored the normal order of society.

Zhuanxu also reformed the marriage and funeral system, clarified the difference between men and women, established the idea of ​​marriage that men should be responsible for the outside and women should be responsible for the inside, conferred the Kitchen God, and advocated the change from raw food to cooked food.

He also ordered Boyi to formulate the code of five punishments to restrain his subjects, crack down on crime, and maintain the stability of the court. He also reformed the Jia calendar, set the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms.

Zhuanxu was smart and good at planning, and was good at governing the country. He had a high prestige among the princes and people in the world, and his ruling territory continued to expand. He was an emperor with great merits.

He was favored by the immortal master since he was a child, and was taught magical skills and various moral classics, so he was also a warrior with great magical powers. With the blessing of the human race's luck, he cultivated to the realm of Dharma in five hundred years, and finally passed the throne to Emperor Ku. His merits were complete and he took this opportunity to condense his body and become a warrior of the Wheel Emperor Realm, but he was ultimately unable to break through to the Half-Step Emperor Realm or the Extreme Emperor Realm like the Three Emperors.

Emperor Ku governed the country with trust.

After Emperor Ku ascended the throne, he worked diligently throughout his life, "intelligent to know the far, wise to observe the subtle, follow the righteousness of heaven, know the urgency of the name, be kind and powerful, be kind and trustworthy, and cultivate himself to be convinced by the world." During his reign, the world was well governed and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

During his reign, he moved the capital to Shangqiu, repelled foreign invasions, stabilized the borders, studied astronomy, deduced the calendar, convinced the people with virtue, governed the country with benevolence and integrity, used Panhu to flatten the rebellion of King Fang, and used Houyi (this Houyi is not the same Houyi, this is Houyi of the human race, not Houyi, the ancestor witch) to quell the rebellion of Bainan.

Similarly, five hundred years later, Emperor Ku completed his merits and attained the status of one of the Five Emperors. He then passed the throne to Emperor Yao and went to Huoyun Cave.

Emperor Yao succeeded to the throne and built his capital in Puyang, also known as Yaodu. Later, he moved the capital to Pingyang due to floods.

Emperor Yao was the common ruler of the world, and he had his own strengths. He was kind, intelligent and studious. He was not proud of being an emperor. He was diligent in government affairs and never slacked off.

Emperor Yao ruled the country with benevolence.

Emperor Yao was as kind as the sky, as wise as a god, as close as the sun, as far as the clouds, rich but not arrogant, noble but not arrogant.

Emperor Yao ruled the country and was eager to find talents. Although he had many talents under him (his talents included Shun, Qi, Kui, Jue, Xi Zhong, Xi Shu, He Zhong, He Shu, etc.), he was afraid of burying talents, so he set up a drum for advice in front of the court, so that the people of the world could speak their minds, and set up a slander tree, so that the people could attack his faults.

Emperor Yao pioneered the practice of abdication of the emperor, and did not regard the throne of the Son of Heaven as private property.

In terms of state governance and ideological culture, Emperor Yao improved the criminal law, formulated laws, taught the people to cultivate virtue, promoted etiquette, changed marriage customs, emphasized human relations, filial piety, composed music, created dances, and created Go.

In terms of economy, he organized the people to create handicraft workshops, make hemp clothes, brew fruit wine, make pottery, smelt copper and tin, organized the people to resist floods, maintain agricultural production, and revise the calendar, creating a new era of great development of productivity.

Five hundred years later, Emperor Yao abdicated to Shun, and his merits were fulfilled.

Emperor Shun, also known as Yu Shun, was born with double pupils, also known as Chonghua, and was the fifth generation descendant of Zhuanxu.

Emperor Shun ruled the country with filial piety.

Emperor Shun was known for his filial piety since he was a child and was praised by people.

After Emperor Shun succeeded to the throne, he rebuilt the calendar and held a ceremony to worship the four seasons of heaven and earth, the gods of mountains and rivers, and the ancestors of heaven and earth. He attached great importance to the people's sentiment and the inspection of officials. He stipulated that the patrol should be conducted once every five years, inspected the achievements of the princes, and clearly defined rewards and punishments.

Emperor Shun "used the image as a model for punishment and pardoned the five punishments". He engraved the shapes of five kinds of punishments on objects to warn against crimes, replaced corporal punishment with exile to show leniency, and set up punishments such as flogging, beating, and redemption.

During the reign of Emperor Shun, sea monsters caused chaos in the world, and there were water monsters making trouble and stirring up waves, causing continuous floods in the world. Emperor Shun personally led the human race to control the floods.

Emperor Shun reigned for three hundred years. In Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi came out of retreat again.

"Baihe, go and ring the alarm bell and call your brothers to the main hall. I have something important to tell them."

Yuanshi's plain voice came from the enlightenment platform, which startled the white crane boy who was playing with a big green root transformed from an evergreen ivy outside the hall.

"Da Qinggen, I think I am hallucinating. I just heard the master's voice. How is it possible! The master hasn't come out of retreat for more than 2,000 years?" The somewhat dull-witted White Crane Boy subconsciously murmured to another boy in green.

"I seem to be hallucinating too..." Da Qinggen said softly.

The two looked at each other, their hearts suddenly pounding, and then turned around and shouted to the palace door: "Yes, master."

After that, the two hurriedly ran outside, as if they were afraid that they would not run fast enough if they lost a leg.

"These two..."

Yuan Shi shook his head. Regardless of that, this Da Qinggen was exactly the innate spiritual root that Yuan Shi received when his apprentice was training on the Eternal Island. It was also a treasure of heaven and earth. It had been placed in Kunlun Mountain for all these years. Over the years, it absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and could often hear the voice of Yuan Shi's preaching, so it was able to open its spiritual wisdom and successfully transform.

Although this immortal ivy was slightly inferior to the ten innate spiritual roots, it was much better than other spiritual roots. After the transformation, its aptitude was also at the genius level, but...

Yuan Shi shook his head and was somewhat speechless. This Da Qinggen's current cultivation was still at the Xuanxian level. Those who didn't know would think that his aptitude was poor. He was in a beautiful mountain like Kunlun Mountain, which was full of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and there were great powers who often preached, but his cultivation was still so low. I really didn't know how he cultivated.

In fact, the real situation was not like this, but this Da Qinggen didn't like to practice. Normally, he didn't practice. What he liked was making money. It's not that he likes money and spiritual treasures, but he likes the process of making money, and he often fools people. He spends most of the year in the spiritual world, fooling those novices, making money, and enjoying it. I really don't know what's in his head. If it weren't for others seeing that he is from Kunlun Mountain, I really don't know how long he can live with his character.

However, Yuanshi doesn't care about these. He won't interfere too much in what others like to do, and he won't force them to do things they don't want to do. Becoming an immortal or a demon doesn't matter to Yuanshi, as long as they abide by the rules of his teaching.

For example, some of his disciples are big demons, such as the Golden Winged Dapeng Garuda, who often devours human warriors, and the Golden Taoist, who likes to be a bandit and robs the rich of their money. In his words, he takes the rich's money with a clear conscience. He doesn't care about these.

However, thinking of Daqinggen, Yuanshi hadn't seen his disciples on the Eternal Island for a long time. Although his good corpse was there and nothing would happen, he was still a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps, they could try that matter. Yuanshi thought slightly in his heart.

Thinking about it, Yuanshi laughed dumbly. He was too persistent. With his current strength, he wanted to see someone in a flash, or his holy thoughts could easily reach them. But now he was still like a mortal, thinking about these boring things. Should I say that he was still mortal or self-indulgent?

"But, so what?" Yuanshi smiled indifferently, walked out of the enlightenment platform where he had been in seclusion for a long time, and walked out of the hall.

It's time to go out for a walk. The beautiful mountains and rivers, I haven't gone out a few times, every time I go out for something, otherwise I usually stay in Kunlun Mountain to comprehend the Tao. Do I have the attribute of a otaku?

Yuanshi thought silently.
