1. The Four Qing Religions (1)
My name is Zhun Ti, and I am the villain of this torrent novel.
No, not only in this novel, but in a series of novels, I am the villain.
Why am I aware of this? I don't know it myself. Supposedly, the characters in the book can't discover their fictional identities, but I'm obviously an exception.
Maybe it's because the villain is always my relationship. The protagonist is always changing, sometimes Zhou Qing, sometimes Meng Wu, sometimes free, sometimes Qingxu, but the villains are almost all my quasi-mention. After being tortured and killed again and again, I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Why do you always feel like this experience is familiar?
When this question came to my mind, the surrounding qiē suddenly changed.
All appearances are vain.
The teachings of Buddhism must have played a role in my waking process. I finally realized that everything I experienced was a dream bubble, a cycle of suffering. When my perspective on the whole world changed, my own consciousness finally became detached.
Standing in the darkness, countless words shining with golden light appeared in front of my eyes, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, flowing and changing, as if building a world.
"Two monks with patches appeared at the gate of Zixiao Palace, one with a sallow face and full of sorrow, and the other was skinny and had sinister eyebrows and rat eyes."
"Zhun Ti said to him with a smile: 'Fellow Daoist, I pinch my fingers, and see that you are related to the West, I wonder if you would like to join my Western teachings and participate in the Three Vehicles Mystic Method?' ”
"'Getaway!' Zhun Ti retreated again and again, his clothes were torn, and his hair was scattered, obviously losing face. ”
……
What is this?!
I couldn't help but think: So I've been living in someone else's words? I'm just one of the novels, one of the ......
A villain!
This unheard of word popped into my head, as if it had come from a higher world, but it was extremely pertinent.
Hehe, I am a dignified mixed sage who will open up the Western sect and guide sentient beings out of the sea of suffering, surpass reincarnation as soon as possible, and cross the Pure Land of Bliss on the other side.
In reality, we are just members of a larger cycle of reincarnation, being oppressed and killed again and again, with no liberation.
We are just stepping stones for the protagonists.
Such a realization came to my mind. Like the "villain", it seems to come from a higher world. Darkly, my mind seemed to touch a place above the world of our novels. Maybe it's the world of the "author".
But it's useless to just touch, and I still can't get out of it. So, in order to get rid of the author's chess piece-like fate, I tried many ways.
The first is the means of violence. I try to kill the protagonist and reverse my fate. But the protagonist has the will of the underworld outside the way of heaven, and he can always turn the danger into a disaster, and in the later stage of each "story", the protagonist's strength is far above me.
The second is to tell everyone around you the truth. But when I tried to tell the truth to the senior brother, the whole world collapsed in an instant, and then it returned to the previous moment, and the memory of the senior brother still stayed until I spoke. Not only the senior brother who received it, but also Sanqing, Nuwa, Fuxi, and even Hongjun Daozu, couldn't keep the memory of what I said, and they couldn't detect what happened. This can only show that the "author" is indeed higher than this world.
In the end, I tried to destroy the desolate heaven and earth directly, and immediately there was a will higher than the Heavenly Dao to wipe out my physical body, and the world was reunited into the way it was before I destroyed it, and I was reborn in the Pure Land of Bliss.
After a thousand attempts, I finally found a way to completely destroy the world I was in, and the world would not be reborn. The world that reappears is to start from Pangu and deduce a new "story". In this way, I believe that the "story" will eventually come to an end, and I, my senior brother, and the sentient beings of the desolation will usher in true liberation.
This method of cracking is to use "story logic" to destroy the "story core". The collapse of the "core" triggers the collapse of the entire "story".
In the collapse, my body and spirit also perished. But the most fundamental consciousness retains its sobriety, and it can absorb the power of the collapse of the world to grow. It is precisely because of this that I always have the hope of transcending the fate of samsara.
With the success of time after time, my fundamental consciousness has grown stronger and stronger, and the cognition of the high-dimensional world that I have come into contact with has gradually increased, well, the word high-dimensional world also comes from there. Complementing each other, I have a better grasp of how stories work.
The author's will gave birth to the logic of the story, and the logic of the story constitutes the core of the story, so the logic of the story is like the general trend of heaven as Daozu said, and it cannot be directly disobeyed, such as killing the protagonist and destroying the desolate world in advance when the protagonist knows it, which is not logical and impossible to do.
When I try to find the loopholes and expand them, the core of the story will begin to disintegrate, eventually triggering a chain reaction that will lead to the collapse of the entire story.
Take the previous story as an example, Zhun Ti there was one of the three thousand chaos gods and demons before the opening of the sky, and the protagonist was a wisp of soul from the other world, worshipping Pangu. The core of that story is to travel through chaos and worship Pangu to attain the Great Way. The logic is: because the protagonist does not belong to the three thousand gods and demons who hinder the opening of the sky, he is not Pangu's enemy, so Pangu regards him as his only friend and worships him.
What I did was to conform to the nature of the Chaos Gods and Demons and kill a god and demon in advance. In order to fill the number of three thousand, the Great Dao automatically identified the protagonist as the third thousand gods and demons, and then Pangu naturally did not look at them differently, and killed them all when he opened the sky, the core of the story collapsed, and the story disappeared.
In this process, I didn't go against any story logic, I just took advantage of a loophole in the logic.
I'm still looking back at what I did last time. Suddenly, golden words appeared that were bright and uncertain. My fundamental consciousness felt the pull of familiarity - it meant that a new "story" was being created and that I was about to enter it.
Ah, it's going to start again.
In the darkness, a shiny white light spread rapidly, enveloping me......
"Senior brother, we're late."
That's the first thing I heard when I woke up.
I followed the sound and saw a bitter-faced Taoist standing beside me, his sallow face wrinkled into thousands of furrows, and his tone was like an uncle who found his nephew shaving his head in the first month.
Heck, since I came into contact with the high-dimensional world, I have a lot of strange things in my head.
"Senior brother, it's all my fault, my cultivation is low and I fly slowly, and I'm too late for you!" I squeezed out a sad expression and said.
This bitter-faced Taoist is my leading brother.
Alas, no matter in which story, the senior brother will be by my side and be affected by me, why has he never woken up?
In short, I had to continue to play the role of the villain in this story, and at the same time try to find out what is at the heart of the story, and find the logical loopholes to destroy the whole story.
In front of the towering Zixiao Palace, I began to cry like a shrew: "This hurts you, senior brother, you don't have a seat to rest." Thinking that the two of us came all the way from the West, exhausted and exhausted, how can we listen to the path of the saints, how can we educate sentient beings?! ”
I have experienced I don't know how many times the story has been reincarnated, and I look back at my own character in the story, and I think it's ridiculous. Buddhism practice, the first emphasis is on cultivating the mind. How could a person of inferior character become the founder of Buddhism? But in order not to violate the logic of the story and make the role of Zhun Ti conform to the author's will, I can only do this, many times, and my acting skills are also perfect.
"I'm a sinner of all beings in the West, I'll die in the main hall today!" I took a deep breath, screamed, and slammed into the Zixiao Palace pillar. Zhun Ti Sapo Zixiao Palace, Hongyun kindly gave up his seat, which has long been a necessary scene in all flood novels.
Sure enough, a soft red shadow came into view, softening the momentum of my body and helping me up. I straightened up and saw a round-faced Taoist with red hair and a red beard in front of me—needless to say, I could guess from this series of reds that he must be a Red Cloud Daoist.
"Fellow Daoist, it's just a seat, why bother?" The Red Cloud Dao man comforted, "That's it, Poor Dao will give you the seat." ”
"Thank you, thank you!" I thanked him again and again and sat down on the futon. This is no ordinary futon, it is a symbol of the Holy Throne. Whoever sits on it, Hongjun Daozu will give him a Hongmeng purple qi, which is where the opportunity for sanctification lies.
"Hmph."
A cold snort of disdain came from the first futon.
I looked at the futon rank, Kunpeng, Nuwa, Tongtian, Yuanshi, Laozi, and then ......
Ha! You've finally appeared, protagonist.
