Chapter 755: Evil Origin
Looking at Mo Yinhua's timid and uneasy posture, Wu Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm not asking you that."
What is that? Mo Yinhua's mind was turning over and over, and he didn't think of Wu Yi's intention for a moment, so he could only smile foolishly and wait for Wu Yi's question.
"Have you heard of the promotion of status in the upper realm?" Wu Yi said with a hopeful tone, but what he got was Mo Yinhua's helpless shake of his head, and asked instead, what is the promotion of status.
"It means the origin grows, and it can carry more cultivators." Although he had expected this result, Wu Yi still felt a little disappointed, and asked again: "Then do you know the distribution of power in the upper realm, and which sects have the largest power?"
Mo Yinhua said rather shyly: "It's not that I don't want to answer truthfully. Although I am a disciple of Tianyin Sect, I am just doing better in the lower level in the upper realm. Many sects have only heard some rumors, and even their disciples have never met them. Even Tianyin Sect only knows a little bit, and knows very little."
"It doesn't matter. Knowing a little is better than me, a "country bumpkin", right?" Wu Yi did not shy away from his origin at all, and used it as a joke.
"The upper world is extremely huge, with trillions of creatures, Taoism, Buddhism, demons, evil, and monsters. There is everything, and in each faction, there is a Taiyi immortal. In terms of power, Taoism should still be the mainstream. The other forces combined may not be able to defeat Taoism alone."
Taoism, Buddhism, and demons, Wu Yi is still clear about these three, but the evil that follows, Wu Yi can't help but ask: "Is this so-called evil the defeated branch of Jiejiao in the internal strife of Taoism in the Middle Ages?"
The two sects of Chan and Jie were originally branches of Taoism, but they worshipped different Taoist ancestors, one was Shangqing and the other was Yuqing. Even the Three Purities were of the same origin. It has come to this point that a branch of Jiejiao has no qualifications to claim to be the orthodox of Taoism and has been classified as an evil sect.
Nowadays, when we call Taoism, generally speaking, it refers to a branch of Chan.
If a demon disciple and an evil disciple appear in front of a Taoist disciple, then the Taoist disciple will often be the first to kill the evil disciple. Heretics are more hateful than pagans. This principle is true everywhere.
The latter touches the skin, while the former directly hurts the five internal organs. The high-level Taoists still weighed the difference clearly.
Mo Yinhua nodded and said: "The two sects of Chan and Jie have very different ideas. Even in the new calamity, the differences in the past have not been resolved. They can be said to be the most hostile among the major forces."
At this point, Mo Yinhua should have remembered his own things in the upper realm. With a bit of nostalgia, he said: "Speaking of which, I do know a few disciples of the evil sect. I don't know how they are now."
Next, from Mo Yinhua's mouth, Wu Yi also realized that the evil sect and the demon sect, because they were all hit by the Taoist sect, although they disliked each other, in the face of life and death, there was nothing that could not be abandoned, and naturally chose to join forces to fight against the Taoist sect.
This is why we often hear the term evil and demon, and the two are often used together, because the two really collude with each other.
As the largest force in the upper world, Taoism adheres to the practice of pulling one faction and attacking another. While it is doing its best to attack the two evil ways, it has extended an olive branch to Buddhism.
However, Buddhism here should be viewed dialectically. Buddhism is also divided into two factions, Mahayana and Hinayana. The dispute between Mahayana and Hinayana is like the dispute between Chan and Jie in Taoism. It is also a life-and-death struggle. On the surface, they sit down to debate scriptures, but behind the scenes, blood flows like a river.
(Regarding the origin of the evil sect, Sanren integrated the Honghuang style and gave his own opinion. This idea has been accumulated in my heart for a long time, at least I have had this idea when I read books in junior high school. Now I write it down, how refreshing it is in my heart.
Honghuang style becomes narrower and narrower as I write, because everyone looks at it from the perspective of a saint, or in other words, from a macro perspective, while Sanren now looks at it from a micro perspective. The actions of the saints and their impact on the world are all objective.
After writing nearly two million words, Sanren may have realized what he really wants to write now.
Xianxia novels are based on the historical view of saints, which is essentially a heroic historical view, which is called idealism in philosophy.
Sanren hopes to use the materialist historical view he has learned to apply it to Xianxia novels, and use strict logic and rigorous philosophical theories to explain these seemingly scattered stories clearly. The predecessors planted trees without digging pits, and this work is handed over to Me. As for how to bury the pit with Sanren's characteristics, it depends on the accumulation of middle school.
If other novels are all saints, can Sanren be regarded as opening up a brand new road?
However, what should this road be called, idealism, philosophy, or something else.
This road still seems to be extremely tortuous now, but Sanren believes that this is the only way for Xianxia novels to become orthodox, because this road makes online novels return to their original appearance.
Novels have a long history. From the moment they were born, they naturally carry the meaning of alluding to reality and are the other side of the world.
A Dream of Red Mansions has supported countless scholars; a Journey to the West should be read again if it does not allude to the then respected Emperor Jiajing; Jin Yong's works from decades ago allude to the Kuomintang, to our party, and to satirize the officialdom (The Deer and the Cauldron).
The Xianxia novels that have emerged in recent years (of course, they are not just this type of novels, but also fantasy travel novels, science fiction novels, apocalyptic novels, etc.) are essentially the result of the masses' desire to find spiritual sustenance, seek illusory existence, and stay away from reality after entering the rapidly iterating city, so corresponding works appear.
However, because they are out of touch with reality, online novels have also lost the basic function of novels to reflect reality, and they are all refreshing and watery.
To be honest, some content still has allusions, such as the popular zombie novels. Although Sanren sneers at this, and even violates the simple law of conservation of energy, it actually alludes to globalization, and the anti-globalization trend in European and American countries is very serious.
Study the anti-globalization trend and zombie literature, and your understanding of the world will be taken to a higher level.
Certain culture is a reaction to certain political and economic conditions. The knowledge of high school politics should not have been forgotten.
It is a pity that there is no mainstream literature describing the new century in my country. What is written is scar literature, which uses novels to point fingers and denies the efforts made by the first generation of leaders. After much difficulty, the film was adapted and put on the screen, but no one watched it. They said it was well-received but not popular.
In my eyes, these literatures, apart from recreating the events of the past from a microscopic perspective, have little effect on the present.
Even students who post on WeChat Moments are accused of not focusing on academics.
And many of the academics they talk about are just false evidence for the development of local tourism driven by capital. The birthplace of celebrities is not the first time.
I am a history major, but the name of the college is the College of History, Culture and Tourism. You should think about this name carefully.
I accidentally said too much, but what I have seen and heard as an insider may not be useful to you, but it will definitely increase your knowledge.
If you think reading this chapter is not worth your money, you can chat with me and I can return it to you. )
