Part 42: Finding Wisdom

Carefree Wisdom Heart was born, and she was intelligent and witty. Ren Zu liked his eighth child a lot. But at the same time, Ren Zu was vexed: “My mind shattered, what do I do? I cannot store more knowledge anymore. Sigh, it seems that only the two of you can help me now.” Thus, Carefree Wisdom Heart and Great Strength True Martial used their own minds to store up more knowledge. They filled their minds with knowledge before moving along with Ren Zu. Ren Zu and his children started their third attempt. Before they took a step, they would scatter ink text and knowledge; the text would describe their knowledge and form a small black path. Ren Zu and his children walked on this small path. But when they finished using their knowledge and reached the end of the ink text path, they did not see any signs of Wisdom Gu. Ren Zu's third attempt failed again. Great Strength True Martial shrugged in disappointment: “What do we do now? We have already done our best, but our knowledge is still insufficient. We cannot hold any more knowledge in our minds.” Ren Zu sighed; he was also quite helpless. At this time, Hope Gu flew out: “Oh human, don't be disappointed; I am here.” Ren Zu was surprised: “How can you help me?”

Hope Gu answered: “Oh human, I can awaken your aperture.” Hope allowed people to gain enlightenment (awaken their aperture). Thus, hope Gu exerted effort to create an aperture for Ren Zu. Humility Gu laughed: “Then let me help you as well, human. When you have humility, your capacity will be larger; you will be able to hold more things.” Thus, the aperture expanded in size. Ren Zu obtained the aperture and felt very happy: “This place is really huge; I can store so much knowledge! This is wonderful.” Ren Zu and his children went to Book Mountain again; they refined their knowledge and searched for ink text. Ren Zu stored a lot of knowledge into his aperture; even he did not know the quantity he took. Ren Zu and his children set off on their fourth journey; they stepped on the ink text path and entered deep into Qian Kun Crystal Wall. They went very deeply and searched many places; they changed directions countless times but still could not find Wisdom Gu. They had no choice but to return to Book Mountain. This time, because the exploration took too long, the ink text path that they created when they set off was unable to endure the endless barrage of information; a large portion of it faded away. Ren Zu found the Inkman elder and asked: “Why can't we find Wisdom Gu?” The Inkman elder replied: “Sometimes, when we Inkmen explore the place, we would encounter Wisdom Gu. But you three have searched the entire Qian Kun Crystal Wall but did not find Wisdom Gu; it means that it is intentionally hiding from you, it does not want to meet you.” Carefree Wisdom Heart quickly asked: “Then where is Wisdom Gu hiding at?” The Inkman elder pondered and said: “Oh humans, you have searched the entire Qian Kun Crystal Wall. If Wisdom Gu is still inside here, it can only hide in one place. That place is called Primordial Domain; it is the most mysterious part of Qian Kun Crystal Wall.” Qian Kun Crystal Wall has a record of everything that happens in the world; it contains infinite information. Primordial Domain contains the information of the world since creation; it also has the information of the ends of all living beings. It is both the starting point and the ending point. It has nothing, yet it comprises everything. Great Strength True Martial was overjoyed: “We have not gone to Primordial Domain yet. Oh Inkman elder, tell us how to get into the Primordial Domain.” The Inkman elder shook his head: “It is not that I do not want to help you,

but we Inkmen have also only heard of the location; we have never entered it. Oh humans, we Inkmen admire you a lot. You possess knowledge that far surpasses us, thus, if you want to enter Primordial Domain, you need to rely on yourselves.” Ren Zu and his children had to make their research. Carefree Wisdom Heart had a find; she shouted joyfully: “I found it, I found it!” “Oh daughter, what did you find, why are you so excited?” Ren Zu asked in curiosity. Carefree Wisdom Heart opened both her palms: “On my right palm, I found Right Gu. On my left palm, I found Wrong Gu. These two Gu are born in your body; they are ordinary-looking and are much less presentable than my Authority Gu.” “What help can they give us?” Great Strength True Martial was very prideful; he spoke nonchalantly. Carefree Wisdom Heart answered: “These two Gu allow us to differentiate and classify our knowledge. Look at our knowledge again; the truth is, much of it is right at this moment, but after some time, those pieces of information will be wrong. There is also much of it that is right when placed here, but wrong when placed there. I think that if we use the knowledge that is always right at all times and use it to make our text path, we will be able to reach Primordial Domain.” Ren Zu nodded: “Your words are quite logical. Let us try it.” But no matter how they looked, they could not find such knowledge. Great Strength True Martial's Strong Gu said proudly: “Oh humans, you are wasting your effort. Because in this world, there has only been strong and weak; there has never been right or wrong. Thus, your actions are in vain; you cannot classify right and wrong.” Qian Kun Crystal Wall contains everything that happens in the world; all of the information comprises genuine events with no lies. Using right and wrong will not be able to differentiate them at all because since they exist, or rather, since they existed, they are all logical information. Carefree Wisdom Heart was criticized, but her eyes shined with bright light: “I get it; the existence of everyone in the world, regardless of right or wrong, is logical because this is the true meaning of their existence. This is what True Meaning is.” “Let us search for it.” The three of them started to dig up True Meaning from the vast sea of knowledge. Great Strength True Martial was the first to get impatient; Ren Zu also lost his perseverance soon, but only Carefree Wisdom Heart remained calm and composed;

her expression was serious and solemn. After a long time, Great Strength True Martial pointed at Carefree Wisdom Heart; he gasped in shock: “Look, another Gu grew on your body.” The newly born Gu was called Serious Gu. After Carefree Wisdom Heart obtained it, she became very happy: “With this Gu, I will be able to recognize true meaning more easily.” After a long time, Ren Zu pointed at Carefree Wisdom Heart as well: “Look, another Gu appeared on your body.” The second Gu was called Learning Gu. Carefree Wisdom Heart started to learn knowledge; she converted knowledge into things that she truly understood; she was no longer just storing them using Memory Gu. She started to understand more and more knowledge; soon, a third Gu appeared on her body. The third Gu was called Talent Gu. “I found it, I found it!” One day, Carefree Wisdom Heart shouted with joy; with the help of Serious Gu, Learning Gu, and Talent Gu, she finally found the true meaning of knowledge. “Quickly tell us, what does true meaning look like?” Great Strength True Martial was very happy as he asked. But Carefree Wisdom Heart shook her head: “The True Meaning contained within will be lost if I try to convey it in words.” “Then write it out using ink text.” Great Strength True Martial thought about it and suggested. But Carefree Wisdom Heart shook her head again: “The meaning can only be understood; it cannot be passed down in text.” Ren Zu waved his hand: “Forget it; since you possess True Meaning now, let's head out immediately.” Carefree Wisdom Heart was filled with true meaning; they set off from Book Mountain as she scattered ink text on the ground; the path was much wider than before; it was also sturdier. Ren Zu and his children walked on the great path and arrived in Primordial Domain. Within Primordial Domain, they met Wisdom Gu. Wisdom Gu was quite helpless; it had already hidden itself so deeply, but Ren Zu still found it; Self Gu managed to take a bite out of it in the end.
