Chapter 399: Creating a God

There is no doubt that this inheritance from the novelist opened the door to a different path for Lin Hu, and he was deeply immersed in it.

Now he is not a dirt bun who doesn't know anything, and he clearly knows what kind of impact this inheritance will have on the entire novelist if it is promoted.

For a long time, novelists have been promoting that novelists are taking a path of gathering the minds of all living beings through novels and eventually becoming gods.

Gods, for ordinary sentient beings, are indeed unattainable existences, but in the eyes of orthodox hundred monks, Shinto is actually no different from the kind of side door and left path, and does not enter the stream.

Now it is no longer the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, the period of the innate gods, the magic of the innate gods needless to say, they are born by adhering to the rules of the origin of heaven and earth, which can be regarded as the embodiment of a certain 'Tao', as soon as they are born, they have atmospheric luck, the life span is almost infinite, and the starting point can be said to be high and terrifying.

This creature, even if it has been inactive since birth, sleeps in the nest like a pig, but as long as there is enough time, sooner or later it will become the top type of existence in heaven and earth.

Of course, this is only a theoretical statement, if there really is such an innate god who is not angry, it is estimated that it will also be abandoned by the heaven and earth that gave birth to them.

The innate gods are indeed powerful, and they can not rely on faith, and faith can be said to be just a way for them to speed up their strength, and it doesn't matter much if they have the best or not.

But for the gods after tomorrow, faith is the soil for their survival, if they lose their believers. No matter how powerful the gods are, they will become extremely weak, and the divine fire will dim until they fall.

However. The monk seeks detachment, quoting a famous Taoist saying - "My life is in my absence", whether it is cultivating the physical body or forging the soul, all means are to develop the potential of the human body, and the purpose is still to transcendence.

However, this is not absolute. Just like Confucianism, they "prosper if you follow the trend, and perish if you go against the trend" and "life and death depend on fate." Although the concept of "wealth in heaven" is incompatible with the monk's practice of wanting to fight against the sky, it is also in a sense in line with the general trend of heaven.

At first glance, it sounds like life is too negative, without the slightest enterprising spirit. But these two sentences are wise sayings. It makes sense.

True Confucian scholars can face life and death, but they are afraid of not being able to live their lives to the fullest in a limited time, and this kind of thinking is more reliable and meaningful than the Buddhist practice of pinning all hopes on the next life.

Detachment is too difficult, the afterlife is too illusory, and it is no wonder that Confucianism can faintly become the most orthodox school in the world.

These are Lin Hu's recent thoughts, and novelists may have such and such shortcomings. For example, it needs to consume luck and so on, but this can't hide its advantages.

Take Lin Hu himself. Just a few pieces of the Four Treasures of King Liang brought him huge profits, but Lin Hu didn't develop these treasures much, otherwise he would have been rich a long time ago.

The novelists' gains are eye-catching, but there is one thing that is enough to discourage others, because they are walking the way of God.

The monks are shrewd, and in their opinion, Shinto is now a pit, for some illusory interests, not to mention losing their own luck, but also losing their free body, and even having to compete with novelists, it is really an unprofitable deal.

It is precisely because of this that novelists can continue to develop safely, and even Confucianism, who has taken the path of literature, is hesitant to get involved in this area.

All of this can be said to be the introduction that the novelist had buried earlier, and if the world knew that the novelist was not actually walking the path of Shinto? Lin Hu secretly wondered in his heart.

The novel's unbridled spread in the world is, to a large extent, due to the fact that competitors do not think that the novelist is beyond their control, because if the families unanimously enact a similar harmonious prohibition, the novelist who relies on the power of faith will be defeated.

This is a delusion that confuses the vast majority of people in the world, even the vast majority of novelists think so.

As the so-called truth is always in the hands of a few people, before getting this inheritance, Lin Hu could never have imagined that the way of faith, among novelists, is only a less critical branch!

The power of faith, the power of faith, seems to be a word difference, but in fact there is a world of difference, both can be regarded as the condensation of a certain concept, the difference is that the former is only for a certain thing, and the latter, but far more than that, its meaning is multifaceted.

"However, it's better to call it the power of fantasy more realistic!"

Lin Hu is also a person who admires the invention of this word, if you don't dig deeper, who can find the difference, probably will see it as a kind of name for the power of faith.

This inheritance explained many questions in Lin Hu's heart, but there were also places that could not be explained clearly, for example, why did a novel and a story cause such a big wave and attract the attention of heaven and earth?

As for why writing a novel consumes one's luck, the inheritance also roughly explains, if a novel is a world, writing a novel can be said to be using the novelist's luck to evolve a special world.

The bigger and more complete the world, the more it consumes the author's luck, and at the same time, the higher the level of achievement of the novel!

Why is the world in fiction always paradoxical to the real world? Of course, there are reasons to avoid the forces of reality, but more importantly, it is due to the experience summed up by countless generations of novelists.

Many novelists agree that if a novel is too "realistic," then it is no different from Confucian history books, and if it is too illusory, it is easy to overstep one's control and lead to something undesirable.

The novelist advertises that he is walking Shinto, which invisibly makes today's novel style more inclined to the combination of character biography and chivalrous legend.

Because, in turn, this involves another ability of Taoist novelists - to create gods.

This god-making is naturally not to shape the novelist himself into a god, but to shape the characters of the novel into a god, and from this point of view, it is not wrong to say that the novelist is walking the path of God.

This god-making is not without requirements, the most important thing is two points, one is the reader, and the other is the spirituality of the novel itself.

It is easy for readers to understand this, because the fantasies and emotions that thousands of readers have about the characters in the novel are the "gods" that can turn the illusory characters into real ones.

As for spirituality, it is difficult to give birth to gods in novels without spirituality or spirituality insufficiently, and this involves another secret between heaven and earth.

Generally speaking, the novels that are most likely to give birth to "gods" are Taoist books, otherwise, at least they must be divine books with book spirits.

If the "creation of gods" is successful, the novelist will not only have one more thug, but also be able to use some of the abilities of the "god", and the so-called novelist can borrow the ability of the characters in the Taoist book to borrow this is actually this.

Thinking of this, Lin Hu had some ideas about the creation of gods, and among the few novels that have existed, the highest level is "The Legend of the White Snake".

However, counting the characters in "The Legend of the White Snake", Lin Hu couldn't help frowning again, put that idea aside for the time being, and thought about several other novels, and finally set his sights on "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai". (To be continued......)
