【Introduction】
Middle-earth is full of wonders.
In the center of heaven and earth, there is a scholar who once used a sword to split the Tianhe Waterfall, and he is the most proud in the world.
On the cliff side of the East China Sea, there is a nameless Taoist who does not want to fly up and sit on the top of the mountain, but only wants the breeze to blow on his face.
In the Western Pure Land, there is an old monk who likes to invite people to drink chicken soup and tell stories to people, and he has nine heavenly dragons.
In the wild southern Xinjiang, there was a blind painter who drove a gold-armored puppet as high as the mountains to move 100,000 mountains and pave a splendid picture.
A poor boy who grew up in the north, when he saw one day thousands of sword immortals above his head, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.
He wanted to go and see with his own eyes the scholar that the storyteller was talking about, the monstrous tide of the East China Sea, the yellow sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wilderness.
So, one day, the boy picked up the wooden sword and began to go south.
(The four sides here are only the four sides of the "righteous world" of the Middle-earth territory.) The righteous world is only one of the four "worlds". )
Introduction 2:
The world is full of wonders.
I, Chen Ping'an, have only one sword, which can move mountains, pour the sea, subdue demons, suppress demons, fight gods, pick stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the sky!
[General outline]: The world is full of wonders.
People coexist with ghosts, spirits, monsters, alien races, ghosts, and ghosts.
[Practice Overview]: Cultivators are all called qi practitioners, and they are integrated with cultivation, first inducing qi (such as digging ditches and canals), then cultivating qi (the tricks and dantian in the body, just like the pass city), and then refining qi (refining qi is like alchemy).
First open the mind, then knot, knot Dan is like the finishing touch, and really start to enter the room.
Different monks, the scene of the Dan is not the same, located in the dantian "Dan room", different from person to person, generally not separated from the five elements: it may be the lotus pond with lotus leaves swaying, the land of the great water of the steam cloud dream, the picture of the bright moon on the sea, the artistic conception of the purple smoke of the sunshine incense burner, the heavy snow is full of passes, the secluded dragon pool, the Yama Palace, the eighteen-layer hell, the farmland and crops, the flower and bird garden, the Jinluan Palace, the ancestral temple, the study, the thunder pool, the Yunxia Wonderland and so on.
Therefore, before the monks attained the Dan, most of them delved into a unique method, which is called a "shortcut", similar to the sixteen visualizations of Buddhism, or the so-called "golden house in the book", "belly draft", and Taoist "leisurely travel" of meditation, which are generally contemplating the strange scene between heaven and earth, which is most in line with one's own soul. The source of the scene of the Dan room is roughly divided into three types, which can be observed by field exploration, or the written record of the books of the hundred schools of thought, or even some kind of unique "self-supporting portal".
Once the primordial infant who is known as the natal god is born, you can go out of the body to travel to the world, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and drink the dew of the sun. Yuanying is divided into two categories: yang god and yin god, among which Confucianism has many yang gods, because the qi refined by Confucian qi practitioners is the most yang and righteous qi. And the soldiers have many yin gods, because of the origin of the infant, it is an ancient heroic spirit condensed by the soul of the battlefield.
[The cornerstone of the existence of the Xianxia world]:
There are mainly three points, one: the soul and soul are immortal, which is the basis for the existence of the ghost.
2. "There is a god in man": God does exist, but man cannot see it. This is also the basis for the new book "The Shinto System".
Then, between humans and gods (or celestial beings), there is a transitional stage of "immortals", that is, cultivators, that is, qi practitioners who are regarded as "immortal people" by ordinary people.
Three: The human will, or the so-called essence and spirit of the Taoists, these illusory existences can play the role of "concreteness and condensation into entities". This is also the basis for people to be able to cultivate and become immortals and ask for immortality, otherwise it is an attic in the sky.
There are two other points, which are not cornerstones, but extremely critical, the first point is that 1+1 is not equal to 2, (that is, the "real world" we are in at the moment, compared to the world of the new book Xianxia, is a very "low-end", "simple" and "thin" world. In my opinion, the pre-Qin and Warring States period in the real world can be regarded as the "era of the end of the law", and now it is a complete "era of lawlessness", and the "Duzun Confucianism" and today's "Duzun Shushu" are the two main culprits, especially the latter, which directly restricts people's thinking and stifles the bud, of course, the failure of the later Reiki is also the reason. (These can be a big easter egg in the new book of Xianxia, such as the protagonist finally incarnates the Lao Tzu who "rides a green ox to the west", and the incarnation of Confucius and other saints.) It can even be said that the world we are in is just a "blessed land" created by the protagonist. )
The second point is that the world of the new book is large and far-reaching enough (the vast is the horizontal area, and the far-reaching is the three-dimensional space), and it is large and orderly, and it is not chaotic.
The necessity of this is reflected in two aspects, on the one hand, I have always wanted to create a new world with a grand and epic temperament, and secondly, this world must withstand the "destruction" of those great supernatural monks, which "does not occur often, but as long as it occurs, it will certainly be very harmful". As well as the mass destruction of mortal lives, the second and more important is that such high-ranking beings as monks, especially their destruction, will bring an indelible and extremely lasting impact on the "world under the mountain" and the spiritual world of ordinary people. Therefore, the structure of the new book world must be grand, even much larger than the previous "first edition setting", so as to barely achieve a "swinging and relatively stable order", making the Xianxia world in the new book more credible.
[The number of individual qi and the luck of dynasties and states] + [Confucianism and military families with the two pillars of civil and military affairs in secular dynasties] + [Various dragon factions among the hundred sons of the princes] + [Complete Shinto system]
Taken together, these four are also an important reason why mortals can confront and balance Qi practitioners.
Appendix 1, Confucian scriptures, is to ask a gentleman to constantly introspect and feel uneasy in conscience until he becomes a perfect saint. Buddhism, on the other hand, is about giving people peace of mind, and even if they are in deep suffering and cannot extricate themselves, they can still hope for future lives. Taoism is the most ruthless, this "ruthless" is the ruthlessness of heaven, the heart is like stopping water, the pursuit of "dead heart", so it needs to be tranquil and desireless, "not close to human feelings".
Attached 2, "It is especially difficult for plants and trees to become fine", and he is born without a trick. A hundred-year-old monster, a thousand-year-old plant spirit.
P.S. 3: The emperor of the secular dynasty has great power to punish and reward. But the phenomenon of good people suffering and wicked people enjoying happiness can be seen everywhere, and if religion needs incense and adherents, then it must answer such personal questions that concern everyone.
[Afterlife said], or the real world has the other side, that is, the promised land.
Many new religions, with complex schools and different categories, are not less than thousands, and they are short-lived.
The emperor only dared to call himself the "Son of Heaven".
[The general background of the protagonist's Middle-earth]:
Three Sects and Hundred Schools, Nine Great Dynasties, Ten Righteous Sects, Ten Demon Sects, Three Mountains, Five Lakes and Four Seas, etc.
Confucianism, or Confucianism, is one of the four worlds, the orthodoxy of the temple of the "righteous world", which controls the authority of most secular dynasties, and assists (controls) the monarchs of various dynasties with dragon support or dragon slaying techniques, helping the emperor to gather and suppress a country's luck. Of the nine dynasties in the world, there are five emperors' imperial teachers, all of whom are Confucian saints, and the rest have three national teachers (two Taoist priests and one monk), and one is a domineering female martial god.
In this "righteous world", Confucianism, which occupies an absolute dominant position, has eight university palaces and seventy-two academies, all over the world. Confucian scholars can resonate with heaven and earth, so as to give birth to the heroic righteousness of "full mind", and they can be like emperors and kings with the constitution of heaven in their mouths, determine life and death, and avoid ghosts and gods.
Taoism has 36 caves (there is also a 36 small caves, which are not unique to Taoism, but are divided up by major forces), and 72 blessed lands, the ancestral court is divided into the ancestral court of the world and the ancestral court of Xuandu (the latter is located in another "green world", belonging to the heavens), and there are three Taoist ancestral courts in the world, namely Daodaozong, Longhu Mountain and Danxia Mountain. Everywhere in the blessed land of the cave, there are real people who are known as land immortals, and they are in charge, knocking on their fingers and asking about immortality, which can become a prophecy in one word, and there are unpredictable magical powers of ghosts and gods.
Buddhism has this world, there are 1808 Pure Land Buddha countries.
There are monks who draw the ground as a prison in order to become a Buddha on the ground; there are monks who beg to travel thousands of miles just to drop the lotus flower in their hearts; there are monks who preach the Dharma, and the heavenly maidens scatter flowers and nod their heads on stubborn stones; and there are young monks who are known as bodhisattvas in the flesh and eat them to live forever.
In addition, there are hundreds of schools of thought, such as the military family that has been competing with Confucianism for the status of Fulong, and its power is extremely huge. The soldiers and monks, the people who have achieved the realm of everyone, are all the enemies of the battlefield, especially in the battlefield ruins and ancient battlefields, the combat power is particularly strong, almost invincible, which is the same as the monks in the Pure Land Buddha Country, and the Taoist priests in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to get the blessing of magic, is a truth.
Yin-Yang Family: There are two kinds, one is the members of the attached dragon department who cling to the true dragon, and most of them serve in the Qin Tianjian, observing celestial phenomena, astrological divination, formulating almanacs, etc. There is also a kind of scattered among the people, spreading all kinds of songs and rumors, claiming to "share the world and clean up the discussion" with the court's officials, which can largely determine the word-of-mouth trend of a certain court official.
Sword Cultivation: Once the kendo monks were incomparably prosperous in the righteous world, it can almost be said that it was a good situation of "one branch outstanding", and the rest of the hundreds of schools of thought could not raise their heads, but for some reason, after a thousand years, the realm achievements of the kendo monks have become less and less improving, and there are few sword immortals with super-first-class strength. (This involves a big insider, because the "desolate world" with a place in the wild southern Xinjiang as the entrance (breakthrough), on the border between the two worlds, there is a wall that has stood for 10,000 years, and now there are still more than 100,000 people (known as criminals and exiles in history) occupying this place, defending the righteous world against the invasion of tens of thousands of demons in the desolate world.) And these people, eight or nine times out of ten are sword monks with huge killing power, so they occupy nearly eight points of sword luck between heaven and earth, with nearly a thousand years, the desolate world began to gradually end the chaotic battle pattern of the group of heroes, so the impact on the city wall named "sword qi" is getting bigger and bigger, which makes more than 100,000 sword cultivators invisibly grab more sword luck, which makes the Middle Earth kendo monks gradually decline, giving people the illusion that the day is thin. )
P.S. With the changes in history, in addition to the Academy of Confucianism, some of the earliest Dongtian blessed land and Pure Land Buddha Kingdom have been occupied and controlled by other forces.
Therefore, around these "immortal mansions" full of spiritual energy, there are naturally various contradictions and conflicts, and they are also divided into the side gate of the righteous path, the demon gate of the righteous path, and so on.
【Market gas in the world of Xianxia】
Between the streets and alleys, people and ghosts coexist peacefully, and ordinary people's homes will have the stubborn little demons who secretly incite the pillow wind and make people unhappy with their husbands and wives. There are money eaters who eat gold, silver, and copper coins for food. There are spirits and demons who live in a row of locust houses (old locust trees that are more than 1,000 years old).
The green snake demon with the ferry, day after day, year after year, looks at those infatuated women, seeing off poor scholars, and never has a good ending, so it feels that the reading man is the most negative person.
The carp spirit, who did not try to jump the dragon gate once, lived at the bottom of the dragon gate of the Yellow River and watched countless tragic failures of the same kind.
There is a yellow finch spirit who likes to listen to the Sanskrit sound of Buddhism, morning bells and dusk drums, and finally falls in love with an innocent and lovely little novice.
In the ancient temple in the deep mountains, there is a young fox fairy who likes to seduce beautiful scholars, but his methods are lame, and he treasures a book called "Talented and Beautiful".
There is a strange monk who "as long as you can't kill the poor monk, the poor monk will persuade you to commit a butcher's knife", and he was born with the incorruptible body of Vajra, and finally turned out to be a 10,000-year-old spirit who admired Buddhism.
On the shore of the East China Sea, there is a primrose that is as high as a thousand feet, and if the flowers do not bloom, spring will not come. There is a sycamore tree in the northwest, and if the leaves do not fall, then the autumn will not leave.
Some of the most down-and-out kendo monks would be hired when the various market trades were in full swing, wearing colorful clothes and dragging long banners, flying in the air with swords, and winning the applause of the streets.
There are dragon-whiskered carp that can swim freely in the air without a water source, there are lotus-tongued parrots that speak like people and are good at swatting horses, and there are huge lakes and rocks that form a circulating landscape painting scroll on their own......
【The secular atmosphere of the Xianxia world】
There are swordsmanship gangs in the world that specialize in delivering family letters and letters to people, and they specialize in passing them with flying swords.
Many large sects that are not proficient in all fields will hire some specialized talents (such as Yin and Yang families who are proficient in public opinion, mathematicians who manage finances, etc.) to sign contracts and help deal with gang affairs.
The powerful Mo family, as well as the gangs with many monks and craftsmen, will constantly deal with the imperial government, asking for and exchanging those places with relatively abundant spiritual energy in various ways, and then build and develop into a "pseudo-blessed land" that is beautiful and conducive to cultivation, such as various islands in the sea of clouds, attics and mirages, etc., and then a large number of monks and even the powerful people in the world will spend a lot of money to settle in it, or practice or retire.
【Immortal Qi of the Xianxia World】
Move mountains and seas, return to the sect with ten thousand swords, catch ghosts and demons, ask gods to suppress demons, and do everything.
[Four Worlds]:
The "righteousness" world of Middle-earth Shenzhou is also called the "Haoran" world.
In the lotus world where the Buddha of the Four Directions sits, almost everyone is a monk and a believer. The existence of this world is able to suppress the rising "underworld", which is also known as the fifth world, the netherworld.
The Sanqing world, also known as the "Qingming World", where the Taoist patriarch sits, everyone is a believer, in order to resist the infiltration and invasion of the "Outer Heavenly Demons", which is also the root cause of the monk's demonic obstacle and broken bones.
In the great wilderness world occupied by hundreds of millions of demon clans, there is almost no human existence, and the vitality is thin, so they have always coveted the rich resources and abundant spiritual energy of the Middle-earth world. It's just that because of the "Great Wall of Sword Qi" that stretches for thousands of miles, it has not been able to cross the border.
Three continents, five lakes and four seas: three divine continents, five giant lakes, and four oceans, except for the five lakes located in the territory of Middle Earth, the rest are not located in the righteous world.
[Cave Heaven Blessed Land]: Thirty-six Cave Heavens, Seventy-two Blessed Lands, Taoism occupies the majority; the imperial court occupies two or three, Feng Zen, and the righteous gods are seated; the remaining one-fifth, half of them are occupied by several first-class sects, half of them are deserted, reduced to ruins, secret realms, residual formations, and then some of them are lucky to become "Thirty-six Small Cave Heavens".
P.S. The bottom of the mountain, especially the bottom of the mountain outside the blessed land of the cave, is a filthy place for monks, which is an iron law of cultivation. The people on the mountain are immortal characters, that is, they become immortals on the mountain, but they have actually broken through the heavens.
After descending the mountain, it is like sailing against the current. Filthy gas, evil gas, and yin qi, like a large army knocking on the gates, are endless. If the foundation is unstable, it will be like a low city, with few troops, and it will be broken in an instant, and the defense of the city will fail.
When you reach the realm of land immortals, you can completely ignore it. In the realm of the Jie Dan, you can begin to absorb the vitality in it. Mutual strengthening, parallel imports, the battle between dragons and tigers,—— necessity of entering the WTO and going down the mountain, the only way to go. Many large sects have established a "worldly world" on the mountain (cave, 'pond', etc.) (at the foot of the mountain), and they gather and live together with the families of miscellaneous servants from the outer gates.
