Chapter 221 The craze caused by "Buddha is the Way".
In the fresh morning, a new day begins, and Chen Lang goes to school with his die-hard fans as always.
In the small talk on the road, a novel fan who had read the newspaper in his hand looked at Chen Lang beside him and asked, "Lang Lang, how is your mind long?" ”
Chen Lang was stunned by this question, and the other classmates also looked at the questioning classmate with inexplicable expressions.
Fortunately, this classmate didn't wait for Chen Lang to answer before he spoke.
"The huge setting of the earth fairy world in "Buddha is the Way" is really shocking, this is definitely the most amazing system setting, and it actually perfectly integrates many myths and legends in ancient China, it is really wonderful and beautiful, Lang Lang, idol, genius, demon, my worship of you is really like a surging river."
Chen Lang and everyone laughed when they heard this classmate's words, it turned out to be a fan of novels.
However, most of the boys present are fans of novels, after all, novels are a very important part of everyone's entertainment now, unlike the information explosion in later generations, everyone's entertainment methods are also diverse.
"Yes, Lang Lang, "Buddha is the Way" is really amazing!"
"Indeed, the setting of the Earth Immortal Realm is amazing!"
"It's so exciting, I've watched it back and forth three times, and I'm shocked every time."
……
Looking at the excited fans of the novel in front of him, Chen Lang smiled proudly, this is a masterpiece that carried forward the torrent in his previous life and caused countless followers, and was sought after by countless people, including Chen Lang himself, of course.
Chen Lang was proud in his heart, and said modestly, "This is a work that I have conceived for a long time, and the setting in it has cost me countless energy, and I have finally straightened out the relationship between them, and I have died countless brain cells for this." ”
"Of course, it takes a lot of brains to be able to link countless myths and legends together with a main thread, related to each other, and have cause and effect for each other."
"In addition, Lang Lang's genius's imagination is also crucial."
"That's right, a genius is a genius, and he deserves to be a 'little talent in Xiangjiang'!"
……
Listening to everyone's praise, Chen Lang was a little embarrassed.
Chen Lang has just finished writing "Buddha is the Way", and he has handed over all the manuscripts to "Oriental Daily" so that he can record his second record with all his might.
Because the first half of "Buddha is the Way" was satirized by many critical people, Chen Lang and "Oriental Daily" decided to speed up the progress with three or even four chapters a day.
Now it has already been written to the earth fairy world, and its true essence is also an important reason why "Buddha is the Way" has been promoted to the status of a god.
After "Buddha is the Way" was written in the world of earth immortals, it caused widespread discussion among fans of the novel.
This kind of discussion gradually spread to the category of novelists, and even many well-known writers and scholars, far beyond everyone's expectations.
Yu Zhentao is a leading scholar and professor at the University of Hong Kong who has recently been researching the mythological system of ancient China.
Today, Professor Yu Zhentao took a break and continued his research at home.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Wu Han, a graduate student he had brought.
"Wu Han, why do you have something to see the teacher today." Yu Zhentao looked at his students and asked with a smile.
"I'm here today to give a gift to the teacher, and this gift will definitely surprise you." Wu Han said with a smile.
"Surprised? I'm so old, what else can surprise me? Professor Yu was noncommittal when he heard Wu Han's words.
"Hehe, what the hell is going on, you will know when you see it." Wu Han took out two carefully prepared notebooks and handed them to his teacher.
Yu Zhentao smiled and took over two books, one is "Buddha is the Tao" and the other is "Mythological System".
Yu Zhentao directly opened "Mythological System" and read it.
It turned out to be several simple structural diagrams, but these structures were all made up of characters from various myths and legends, and they were linked to each other by lines and marked with their relationship to each other.
Yu Zhentao looked at these structural drawings more and more seriously, and the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became.
Although the relationship between some structures is vague, some are directly unrelated, and there are many question marks, Yu Zhentao has been studying for a long time and can explain the connection well.
Such a clear diagram of the structure of ancient Chinese mythology made Yu Zhentao even feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.
After reading it, Yu Zhentao raised his head and looked at Wu Han solemnly and asked, "Where did you get this structural drawing?" ”
Yu Zhentao knew his students well and knew that this could not be his masterpiece.
Wu Han looked at the teacher's appearance and said with a smile, "Isn't it a surprise?" As for how I got it, it's another book in your hand. ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhentao looked at another book "Buddha is the Way" that he had ignored before, "This is a novel, written about Taoism and Buddhism in China?" ”
"This is indeed a novel, the latest masterpiece of the little talent of Xiangjiang Lang Lang, and the mythological architecture diagram just now is copied from my novel from his. I used to think that the novel written by Lang Lang was wonderful and good-looking, but I didn't expect this novel to involve ancient Chinese myths and legends.
And the relationships are inextricably linked and interlocking, which is really amazing. This is what I have transcribed from the newspaper serialization, and you may wish to read it when you have time, it will definitely be of great benefit to your research. Wu Han said with admiration.
When Yu Zhentao heard this, he directly opened "Buddha is the Way" and read it.
However, the urban part in front of him was very boring, and he flipped through it quickly, and he didn't read it seriously until the appearance of the Earth Immortal Realm.
Then I was completely immersed in the novel, reading it very carefully, and I didn't miss any link.
After reading it, Yu Zhentao's face was full of incredulity, "Is this really a novel written by a young talent in Xiangjiang?" ”
"It's like a fake." Wu Han nodded.
Yu Zhentao was shocked and silent for a long time, and then picked up his own research and began to compare the mythological systems of the two, there are many similarities and complements, "What a genius." ”
Soon after, Yu Zhentao published an article in his newspaper column about the mythological system of "Buddha is the Way".
"I've been doing research on ancient Chinese mythology lately, but I didn't want my student to bring me a novel, which is "Buddha is the Way" by the young genius Lang Lang, and after reading this novel, I was shocked and couldn't calm my mind for a long time.
This book is a popular interpretation of the ancient Chinese Buddhist and Taoist system, and the mythological stories of Buddhism and Taoism are very perfectly combined, and some of the mythological characters we saw when we were children can be found in it.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the history of the flood wilderness, "The Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West", "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", folklore, etc., you name it.
Moreover, so many mythological stories are dealt with in a clear context and are related to each other, which makes a large summary and summary of ancient Chinese mythology, constituting a rigorous and perfect mythological system.
This novel is not only extremely entertaining, but also has great reference value for our study of ancient Chinese myths and legends.
What surprised me even more was that this book was not written by any expert or scholar, not by a well-known person, but by a young man who was only 17 years old, which is really unbelievable.
With this book, Chen Lang is no longer just a fiction writer, he should be a scholar, Lang Lang has such a talent, and he should devote himself to the study of Chinese culture, otherwise it will be a great waste. ”
As soon as this article came out, it not only caused a huge sensation in the novel industry and even the entertainment industry, but also caused heated discussions in the cultural circle and even the entire Hong Kong.
More and more people joined this extensive discussion, and many experts and scholars were amazed that Chen Lang was able to summarize such an imaginative and logically rigorous mythological system, and at the same time gave great affirmation to the mythological system set by Chen Lang.
In addition, many famous novelists also praised Chen Lang's "Buddha is the Way".
Jin Yong wrote in the column of "Ming Pao", ""Buddha is the Tao" is a novel that integrates myths, legends, legends, etc., such as the Romance of the Gods, Journey to the West, Shu Mountain, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and three words and two beats.
The most powerful thing about it is that it combines a large number of ancient Chinese stories of gods and monsters, and organizes and summarizes a unique and complete huge world system of immortals and Buddhas.
Although "Romance of the Gods" has had a great impact, Lang Lang's credit is also indelible.
It can be said that "Buddha is the Way" plays the role of a general program for all Xianxia novels, pointing out a new path for writing, and also opening up a new world for readers.
Lang Lang's previous "Ethereal Journey" provides you with a complete level setting for the realm of cultivation, and this "Buddha is the Way" provides you with a complete historical background/scene and world view of fantasy cultivation.
The combination of the two can be regarded as providing a perfect framework for the oriental fantasy cultivation system, and all the subsequent fantasy Xianxia cultivation novels cannot escape this framework, and it can be said that Chen Lang has created a complete world.
"Ethereal Journey" has triggered a huge trend of Xiuzhen novels, and this "Buddha is the Way" has also set off a wave of following the trend after all, and this book has undoubtedly created a new genre, but I don't know how Chen Lang named this genre.
The breadth of the framework, the number of characters portrayed, and the magnitude of the scenes described in this book are amazing.
At the same time, Lang Lang's skills in mastering words and layout are becoming more and more proficient.
In terms of creativity, Chen Lang has already surpassed everyone, which no one can deny, and Chen Lang has also made rapid progress in terms of plot writing, and the future will definitely be the world of this talented young man. ”
