The next day, Bei Simiao took the director of the hundred forums to the hotel where Li Mu stayed.

"Mr. Li, hello..........." The director's surname is Jia, and he should be around fifty years old, of course, he may also be under more pressure on CCTV and look old, but his attitude is quite polite.

After greeting for a while, I got down to business.

"Hundreds of interviews have done so that now the audience is also a little aesthetically fatigued, coupled with some political reasons, many points of view can't pass the review, Mr. Li, I have seen your Journey to the West, it is indeed very good material, and your views are not quite the same as ordinary people, and there is reason and evidence, it is really ..........rare" Director Jia praised Li Mu.

Li Mu waved his hand again and again: "Don't hold me, I still know how many catties and taels I have, Director Jia, let's just say it, the signboard of the show is too heavy, let's not say that I can't afford it, you are also taking a big risk, right?"

Director Jia was a little anxious, and Li Mu's meaning was also very clear, everyone was taking risks in this matter, so why bother to do such a thankless thing?

"Mr. Li, I'll tell you the truth, the average rating of 100 interviews has fallen below 0.2, if you don't reform it, I'm afraid this show will be cut. Jia Dao said bitterly.

Li Mu was really taken aback, thinking that the interview with 100 schools was also a smash hit, and several celebrity speakers became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, how could they fall to this point today?

However, Li Mu is not interested in exploring these details, his ultimate goal is just to use the status of hundreds of interviews to promote Xianxia culture, and at a certain level, his appeal is consistent with Director Jia.

"Director Jia, I also made it clear that I can be on the show, but don't put all your hopes on me, maybe how many people will scold me at that time. ”

Director Jia was overjoyed at first, and after listening to the second half of Li Mu's sentence, he smiled bitterly: "It is said that ratings are the root of all evil, but there is no way, where does the program funding come from without ratings, this is a dead cycle." ”

CCTV's affairs are too complicated, Li Muke was not stupid enough to fall into it, sent away Bei Simiao and Director Jia, and began to sort out the outline of the speech of Journey to the West.

The content of the fourteen issues mentioned before is relatively short, almost from the birth of Sun Wukong, until the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, these naturally can no longer be talked about, can only start from the West Heaven to learn scriptures.

For three days, Li Mu finally wrote out the speeches of the six episodes of the program and handed them over to Director Jia for review, and it took almost a week to determine the recording time.

Backstage, Li Mu changed into a Tang costume, and if he had long hair coiled on his head, he really had the taste of an ancient merry man.

Now the audience is a little surprised to see Li Mu's appearance, and a little funny, most of the lecturers before the interview are all in straight suits, and they all look very serious, I have never seen a traditional appearance like Li Mu.

Li Mu stood on the podium and was not stage frightened, pulled his sleeves and said: "The reason why I am wearing this today is mainly related to the content that I will talk about later, first of all, thank you for your support, to be honest, standing here, I am so apprehensive in my heart, I was watching hundreds of interviews before, how good are those professors and lecturers? I really didn't expect that one day I would stand on this podium." ”

There was a chuckle from the audience, why didn't you see your apprehension when you talked so eloquently? Could it be that the way you express your apprehension is different from that of ordinary people?

"But since this program is called a hundred interviews, that is, you can listen to the words of a hundred schools, the younger generations enter the last school, usually like to read, and have some simple insights, today I will share one or two ............ with you"

Li Mu put his posture very low, and also received applause from the audience, but don't take this kind of applause seriously, it is completely arranged by the program team, everyone applauds politely, whether you can conquer the audience in the end, it is still the content of Li Mu's explanation.

"Because I have also released a few Spring Festival special programs on CCTV 3 before, so about the origin of Sun Monkey in Journey to the West and some of the secrets behind the Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, I will not repeat it here, let's start with the scriptures in the West. ”

Li Mu held the podium with both hands, to be honest, he was really a little nervous, the status of the hundred interviews was different after all, and it was completely different from ordinary entertainment programs, but now, there was no reason for stage fright, Li Mu quickly focused all his attention on the content to be said.

"It stands to reason that the study of scriptures in the West should start from the life experience of Tang Seng, but here we will put it aside first, and look at the origin of the scriptures in the West from another angle, and perhaps we can more clearly peek into the secrets of the world of Journey to the West. ”

"First of all, is it really Tang Emperor Li Shimin's scripture to learn from the West? No, in fact, the so-called West-Heaven scripture is not so much to learn from the scriptures as to say that Rulai insists on passing on the scriptures. ”

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was stunned, this statement is really fresh, the story of Journey to the West can be described as a household name, it is obvious that Tang Sanzang went to the West to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, how did it become that Rulai insisted on passing on the scriptures?

Li Mu smiled and continued: "To figure out this problem, let's first understand the worldview of the entire Journey to the West, first of all, there are four large landmasses in the Journey to the West, namely: Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Zhou, Nanzhan Buzhou, and North Juluzhou. ”

"So what the whole Journey to the West World really writes is actually the story of two states, that is, Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhan Buzhou. ”

"So what is the difference between Nanzhan Buzhou and Xiniu Hezhou? Nanzhan Buzhou is actually the territory of Taoism, the human emperor Li Shimin is a great talent, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the four are powerful, and Taoism is also quite strict in the management of the gods and monsters in the jurisdiction, and it is conceivable that the dragon king of Jinghe will be beheaded if it rains a little more!"

And what is Xiniu Hezhou like? There are man-eating demons and ghosts everywhere, which can be said to be the people's livelihood, and on the way to learn scriptures in the west, Tang Seng heard more than once that the people of Xiniu Hezhou said that the accumulation of virtue and good deeds in this life is to be reincarnated in the Tang Dynasty in the next life to be an ordinary person. ”

"This is interesting, Tang Seng went through a lot of hardships to go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, but as a result, the people of Xiniu Hezhou under the jurisdiction of the Buddha all want to vote in the next life to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, in other words, Tang Seng is a fool in the eyes of these people, but he wants to go to this place where monsters are rampant to ask for what scriptures?"

It is conceivable that Tang Seng's heart must have collapsed at that time, what about the Western Elysium? Where is Bliss? Could it be that the so-called Bliss is the urgency of letting him experience being eaten every time? This is also the fact that there was no roller coaster in the Tang Dynasty at that time, otherwise, Old Tang should be able to experience this feeling. Li Mu joked.

"Haha~~~" The audience burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect Li Mu to speak really well, it is reasonable, and it is quite interesting. ”

"Yes, Mr. Zhang said before that he didn't learn and didn't know how to make up nonsense about Journey to the West, but now it doesn't seem like it, his understanding of Journey to the West is quite unique. ”

Director Jia was also overjoyed, he didn't know if what Li Mu said had academic value, but it was definitely top in terms of being easy to understand and entertaining.

"The show is saved!" Director Jia now has such a thought in his heart.

Li Mu paused and said: "Of course, the above general manager can only explain that if the Buddha is not properly managed, then let's take a look, why did Li Shimin find someone to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?"

"In the Journey to the West, it is recorded that Li Shimin's soul traveled to the underworld and was asked for his life by the unjust souls of the people he killed during his lifetime, and then the underworld Yama told him that these people were all people who died in vain and could not be reincarnated, so they waited for him to enter the underworld after his death to seek revenge on him. ”

Then at this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva came to tell Li Shimin that the Hinayana Buddhism that is now circulating in the Tang Dynasty cannot transcend the soul, and that he must go to the West Heaven to seek Mahayana Buddhism in order to transcend. ”

Li Mu said this and said with a smile: "In other words, the biggest difference between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism is that Mahayana Buddhism can transcend the soul, while Hinayana Buddhism cannot, but is this really the case?"

"Let's see Tang Seng arrive at the Two Realms Mountain and meet a hunter named Liu Boqin. Because Liu Boqin saved Tang Seng's life, he took care of Tang Seng's fasting. Tang Seng recited the scriptures to Liu Boqin's father, and afterwards Liu Boqin's old father told his son that the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty had helped him get out of reincarnation, so that he could not be lazy. ”

"This is interesting, Tang Seng did not learn Mahayana Buddhism at this time, that is to say, Hinayana Buddhism can actually transcend the soul, so why does Guanyin say that Hinayana Buddhism cannot cross the soul?"

"This ..........." The audience at the scene thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was really something to do, these are all clearly recorded in the Journey to the West, and they are not Li Mu's nonsense.

Li Mu gently knocked on the podium and concluded: "So, in general, can we draw a conclusion, in fact, the study of scriptures in the west is a naked deception, from the death of the Dragon King of Jinghe, to Li Shimin's soul in the underworld, to the unjust soul asking for his life, and then to the appearance of Guanyin in the water and land dojo, it is completely a good play written and directed by the Buddha, in order to make Li Shimin frightened and let the West Heaven learn the scriptures in a proper way?"

After the first issue, Li Mu bowed down slightly, and the audience exploded.

"I'm done with this episode, why don't I feel like I haven't heard enough?"

"yes, time flies too fast, right?"

"This Li Mu is a little interesting, no, I have to go back to the original Journey to the West little by little, don't be fooled by him. ”

"That's right, I really have to go back and take a look, I thought I was reading the book very carefully, but I didn't expect to miss so many details. ”

"In the past, I always thought that celebrities were a bunch of people who couldn't get into college and didn't learn anything, but today I have a different view of this profession. ”

"Li Mu is different from ordinary stars, he is a top student who graduated from CUHK, and he is one of the top ten famous schools in the country!"

"Really?"
