Seeing the manuscript handed over by Li Mingbao, Jin Yong immediately began to read it, and it took more than an hour to read it. You must know that a character like Jin Yong will definitely not be too slow to read books. And from the opening of Pangu to the first tribulation of Longhan, there are actually not many words, and the total is only about 100,000 words.

This is still Li Mingbao's special adaptation for the novel, if it is written according to the biography, the number of words will be much less, at least more than half of the word count will not be there. After all, the most deeply rooted thing in a book like the flood is that the flood does not count the years.

What is the meaning of a flood without counting years? It's those characters in the ancient flood famine, and they don't know what time is called at all. As the first batch of Enlightened Beings, as long as their lifespans are not ended by accidents, they basically do not die. At least in the mythology that Li Mingbao knew, the little people who lived in those years, like ordinary species such as cattle, could still jump when they traveled to the west.

is like Lao Jun's cow, it is not a noble species, nor is it a unique desolate species, but it is such a cow that can tremble in Journey to the West. Even a celestial species like Sun Wukong, due to his late birth, he can't even afford to provoke a cow, and any two magic weapons can make him disgraced.

You must know that during the flood, many cattle people don't buy the face of the magic weapon at all. Don't say that magic treasures, even if it is something like an innate spirit treasure, others say that if it is broken, it will be broken. Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick, it looks like a cow is going to die, whoever beats will die, and whoever smashes will be injured.

But the golden hoop stick is just an acquired merit spiritual treasure, not even a treasure, this type of treasure, the top is the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Tower, just the Xuanhuang two qi on the body, can crush a lot of big people in the Journey to the West.

Therefore, the myth of the flood years cannot be told by common sense at all. Not to mention the flood wilderness, even the gods behind can completely destroy the last territory of the flood wilderness, how many cattle are there in the flood wilderness? The gods are saints fighting, but there are no saints in the flood wilderness, and the force value of that era is simply so great that there is no edge.

Li Mingbao was thinking about the plot of the flood famine, and he was thinking about it at the same time. And Jin Yong was also very cautious when he saw Li Mingbao's book. Although judging from the structure of this story, Li Mingbao wrote a novel, but Jin Yong did not dare to treat this story as a simple novel.

Mythology is such a thing, and every country that has a history has its own set of mythological systems. And there is only such a complex system myth as Huaxia. So as long as it is stained with this type of novel, it can't be read simply as a novel.

So Jin Yong was looking at it and thinking about whether there were any loopholes in these things written by Li Mingbao, but the more Jin Yong looked at it, the more he felt that there were really no loopholes in the huge system written by Li Mingbao, even the ten spiritual roots, the ten innate treasures and other things, it seems that it is really the same thing, and those mythical species, even a knowledgeable person like Jin Yong, can know the origin, there are not many.

Only 100,000 words, but Jin Yong read it for more than an hour, and after reading the manuscript, Jin Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Li Sheng is a great talent, maybe only a character like Li Sheng can write a flood of famine so vigorously." The arrogance of the unicorn, the pride of the phoenix, and the domineering of the dragon clan. is only 100,000 words, but Li Sheng writes so thoroughly. It's as if Li Sheng saw it with his own eyes, I can't evaluate such a book.

But why is there no Buddhism in these contents written by Li Sheng? You must know that Buddhism occupies an important position in the Chinese mythological system, especially in Southeast Asia, Buddhism is very popular, without Buddhism, how can it be said that the mythological system is complete? ”

Jin Yong is a Buddhist, so he also has his own preference for Buddhism, but after reading the whole novel, Jin Yong does not have a trace of Buddhism, which makes Jin Yong feel strange, so he can't help but mention it after reading the book.

"Didn't I say that the first part of the book has only now been written? And in the first part, don't talk about Buddhism, even if it's Taoism, isn't it? If the saints do not come out, where can there be a sect? Li Mingbao replied with a smile.

Hearing Li Mingbao say this, Jin Yong thought for a while before guessing: "So, Li Sheng, in this flood wilderness, only when there are saints, can sects appear?" What does a saint mean to be a saint if you are educated? ”

Hearing Jin Yong say this, Li Mingbao was also very impressed, you must know that the concept of a saint really materializes him, not an empty term, because it is written that a saint needs to educate others in order to become a saint, otherwise, a saint is also a mortal.

And Li Mingbao has not yet said such a concept, but Jin Yong can keenly perceive this problem, which shows that Jin Yong's brain is not ordinary. You must know that at the beginning, Li Mingbao introduced the flood to Jin Yong, and he just said that he wanted to sort out the mythological system of China, and then immediately gave Jin Yong the draft of the first robbery of the Long Han Dynasty, and the latter words were not said at all, but Jin Yong was able to guess some facts between the lines of Li Mingbao's words, which was really terrifying, if it weren't for Li Mingbao's large knowledge and memory, it would not be enough to see a big man like Jin Yong.

Since it has been spoiled, Li Mingbao doesn't mind revealing more, anyway, he still has to say it later, it is better to thoroughly implement the concept of a saint first: "When it comes to the concept of a saint, you have to mention one person, that is Hongjun Daozu." The first saint after the opening of the heavens was actually him. And most of the saints behind are Hongjun's apprentices, just like the ancestor of Buddhism, Zhun Ti, the ancestor of Taoism, Sanqing, and Nuwa Niangniang, the ancestor of human beings. These people, if they hadn't listened to Hongjun's sermons, they wouldn't have been sanctified so quickly. And Hongjun's grand wish to sanctify is to educate. The sanctification of these latter people is also through guò edification.

Therefore, in the flood wilderness, the prerequisite for sanctification is the need for enlightenment, and without the work of enlightenment, even if you have the opportunity to become holy, it is impossible to become holy. Therefore, the status of the saint is high, and under the so-called calamity, except for the saint, they are all ants, which means that even if it is immeasurable, it will not damage the saint. ”

Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Jin Yong's brows furrowed, as a traditional Buddhist, he was very unhappy to hear that the ancestor of Buddhism was said by Li Mingbao to be a guide and a quasi-Taoist.

So he began to refute: "If you want to talk about the origin of the Taoist, I also know something, and it is better to call it the Taoist, it is better to call it the Buddha, he is Amitabha, and there is no problem with saying that he is the ancestor of Buddhism." But the origin of the quasi-Tidao person, in addition to appearing in the Romance of the Gods, other biographical myths do not describe him too much, Li Sheng, why do you think that the quasi-Tidao is also the ancestor of Buddhism, this is a little unreasonable. ”

The question of faith has always been very important. Especially with regard to the characters in the faith, no one can denigrate them. Especially for a Buddhist like Jin Yong, he must have debated with Li Mingbao on issues related to the strict sù of the ancestor of Buddhism.

In later generations, there are many reasons why the system of flood famine has not been recognized by the vast majority of people, one is that traditional literature is not tolerant, and Buddhists do not accept it, which is actually an important reason, and the reason why Buddhists do not accept it is that they do not agree with the identity of the quasi-Taoist people. After all, this big guy doesn't have a high chance of appearing in any legend, so he was rashly raised to this position, and no one would accept it.

But now that Li Mingbao has come up with the book Hong Huang, he naturally wants to make this statement come true, if even Jin Yong can't convince him alone, how can he convince other people?

So as soon as Jin Yong spoke, Li Mingbao said with a smile: "When it comes to quasi-Daoist people, there is actually another identity that needs to be mentioned, I don't know if Mr. Jin Yong knows about the character of Bodhi Ancestor?" ”

"You mean Bodhi Ancestor, the master of Monkey King in Journey to the West?" Jin Yong didn't know why Li Mingbao pulled out Journey to the West again, so he asked with a frown.

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about. In Journey to the West, the character of Bodhi Ancestor appears very abruptly, with no origin and no way out. But what he did was to lay out the layout for the Journey to the West, and Mr. Jin Yong should have no doubt about this, right? Li Mingbao said.

"This is good, if there is no such character as Bodhi Ancestor, Sun Wukong will not be able to learn so many skills, and naturally he will not be able to become the protector of Journey to the West, and Journey to the West will not be able to be displayed." Jin Yong nodded in acknowledgement.

"Journey to the West is of great benefit to Buddhism, and only in this way can Buddhism enter the Eastern world, before this era, Buddhism did not occupy a dominant position in the Central Plains, but after the Journey to the West, Buddhism is more prosperous than Taoism, which Mr. Jin Yong should not deny."

"No, Li Sheng, you are not right on this point, since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Buddhism entered the Central Plains, and when it flourished, it was not the Tang Dynasty, but the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the real heyday was the Sui and Tang Dynasties." Jin Yong retorted.

"Jin Daxia, what we are talking about now is not history, but mythology, mythology, for the era or something, are ignored, the Northern and Southern Dynasties are not far from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is also the real heyday of Buddhism, so there is basically no big mistake in saying this.

If Hong Huang wrote the official history, then there would not be so many mythological characters, and the main thing I wrote this book was to thoroughly sort out the characters in the mythology, so as not to confuse the origins of these characters. So naturally, there are some discrepancies with the official history, and I didn't say that the flood was the official history from the beginning, but that it was a novel. In fact, most of the characters in mythological stories are born in novels, and I am also in the same vein. "To really discuss the true history in front of Jin Yong, Li Mingbao didn't have that confidence, so he simply brought out the essence of the novel.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Jin Yong was also stunned, and then smiled: "It's me who is fascinated, the myth is an absurd thing, how can it be compared with the official history?" Then Li Sheng, you should continue to talk about the matter of Bodhi Ancestor. ”
