Outline of the Legend of the Immortals
Let's start with the Immortal Couple's faction:
Rivers and lakes:
Jianghu represents the present continuous tense. Wulin League, Xiaoyao City, Xuantian Sect, Shaolin Sect, Jianhu Sect, Tianjue Sect, and Beidou Sect all belong to this level of sects. They are all sects supported by the imperial court, and they are favored enough to influence the pattern of the rivers and lakes. For the sake of interests, they have to rely on the imperial court, and they must also beware of the imperial court, which is also helpless to survive.
Martial arts:
Wulin represents the past, present, and future. The Seven Sects of Martial Arts, the Underworld, the Immortal Sect, the Zen Sect, the Medicine Sect, the Hidden Sect, the Blade Sect, the Instrument Sect, the Zongheng School, the Confucianism School, the Taoism, and so on. These are similar to the sects with strong economic power and influence, which have always been taboo by the imperial court, so hiding in the city has become their best choice.
Court;
The imperial court has always been orthodox, the lord of the universe, and the respect of the Son of Heaven. But big sects like the Seven Sects of Martial Arts all have economic systems, after all, no matter how famous a sect is, it depends on money to operate, and the imperial court knows their existence but does not dare to start. As the holders of such supreme power, whether it was the Liao State or the Song Dynasty, they were all vulnerable to the assassination of the Seven Sects of Martial Arts. Even eating and sleeping have to be careful, like a stem in the throat, it is difficult to sleep and eat. The imperial court and the martial arts have always been opposites, and it is impossible to cooperate only by conquest and submission. This is the dignity of the Son of Heaven and the dignity of martial arts, and no one wants to be subject to others, so such a war cannot be avoided. The four gates of the Song Dynasty, east, west, north and south, and the dark intelligence system were all the emperor's life talismans. "I'd rather give it to foreign criminals than national thieves. This is the slogan of the imperial court.
Tian Tang;
This is an imaginary world, and it also represents the ancient people's yearning for a better life. Tang lord Nie Yu studied under the Confucian sect, was selected by Ji Lingshuang to enter the Zongheng faction, and finally married him. Nie Yu is noble and elegant, he is actually an idealist and a pragmatist. To make the impossible possible, he believes that as long as he does it with all his strength and takes the right route, it will be possible.
He saw the weakness of Song Ting and the cruelty of war. What's more, because the emperor is deep in the secluded palace, he can't understand the suffering of the people. An emperor like this is for his own selfish desires, just to protect his surname Zhao. And he hopes to build a paradise world where the people are happy, the emperor is wise, and there is no oppression. But he's not exactly an idealist, he knows what he can and can't do.
For the imperial court, he is rebelling, and he clearly knows that these two words are costly and difficult, so he is preparing all the public opinion and force that can attack the imperial court. With a beautiful yearning for the new dynasty, many people joined his heavenly world. For this ideal, he left Ji Lingshuang to create a dream that belonged to him but seemed to belong to the people of the world.
This is the general faction in the novel, and there are some that have not been thought of yet, but they are also among them.
The protagonist Zhang Shaoying is just a beggar hovering on the verge of life and death, but because he fell into the secret land of Fox Mountain, Ji Lingshuang wanted to use it as a medicine primer to practice and fed him Bodhi fruit, so Zhang Shaoying was reborn. The author has been thinking about whether the previous chapter should be a passing or a delicate performance, and finally chose to show it. I believe that many people are bored when they see such vulgar methods, and this is where the author takes a fancy to it. Only such a bland comprehension coupled with Zhang Shaoying's future encounters will be a huge difference, but the truth is the same, such vulgar delicacy cannot be expressed in a single stroke.
In order to participate in the Hundred Battles Debate, Ji Lingshuang planned to come back to him after the Hundred Battles Debate to continue to use as a medicine primer. Ji Lingshuang's Zongheng faction is not a chivalrous person, she, her master, and her brother are all a group of free idealists who yearn for the way forward in martial arts. The Hundred Battles Theory is derived from this, and those who can join are a group of people with noble character and firm beliefs. The Hundred Battles Debate is a stage for displaying martial arts, and everyone is honored to have a place on this stage.
Zhang Shaoying is stubborn by nature and is not afraid of death, which was completely forced out as a beggar. So he can call for wind and rain in Fox Mountain, do whatever he wants, and be praised. It wasn't until he met Liu Tianbo of the Martial Arts League, Mu Qiubai of the Underworld Sect, and Mo Feng of Xiaoyao City came to investigate the reality of the Bodhi Fruit, so his difference was discovered.
The Yin and Yang Treasure Book comes from the Zongheng faction, for the sake of martial arts innovation, the Zongheng faction began to send the first half of the volume to those who are strong in martial arts with excellent martial arts, regardless of character, regardless of national borders, just for martial arts innovation. The planting method of linden flowers is watered with human blood every day, and it takes ten years for pure-blooded linden flowers to bloom and bear fruit. If the Bodhi fruit is only cultivated with the essence of heaven and earth of nature, it will have to wait for thirty years, and it will have a toxicity that cannot be verified. Cultivating martial arts is nothing more than discovering the potential of the body and improving its power. However, when the human body is fully realized, it needs to be constantly replenished. The seven sects of martial arts were all looking for such energy, and in the end they all chose the Bodhi flower.
Bodhi flower is a kind of medicine, which is an auxiliary product of the cultivation of the Yin and Yang Treasure Book. It can make people increase the strength of half a Jiazi, coupled with the cultivation of the first half of the Xuantian Gong in the first half of the Yin and Yang Treasure Book, it can become a Jiazi skill, and eating Bodhi fruit can make people's meridians expand and be infinitely powerful. However, although the Bodhi fruit has its magical power, it also has its disadvantages. Eating Bodhi fruit will make people infertility, and at the same time, the more Bodhi fruit is eaten, its toxicity will slowly accumulate and it will become gray and silvery, shrink and die. Only the Bodhi flower watered with human blood can remove the toxicity, and the result is that one person is killed every day, and thousands of people will be killed in ten years, which is only the amount of Bodhi flower used by one tree. In the martial arts, you have always fought for me, and fame and fortune have risen and fallen. The reason why the Zongheng faction hides the secret of the Bodhi flower is that it can't bear to kill. Although the Zongheng faction is not a chivalrous sect, the way forward of martial arts relies on everyone's research, not on killing.
Mankind is advancing, and so will martial arts. The Zongheng faction has been looking for a solution to the toxicity of linden, but little progress has been made. There are more and more people practicing Xuantian Gong, and after a few decades, many people have not been able to pass the second line of Rendu, and those who have passed will be rewarded with Bodhi fruit. The process of all this is the most clear Nie Yu, he knows everything about the Zongheng Sect, so the secret of the Bodhi Flower is revealed. If he wants to establish a new country, he can't do without the existence of the Seven Martial Arts Sects. So he made two preparations, either to unite with the imperial court to destroy the Seven Martial Dao Sects, or to win over the Seven Martial Dao Sects to deal with the imperial court.
The power is terrifying, the reason why Mu Qiubai and they can come and go freely in thousands of troops and horses is that the most important thing is the power behind them, and even the imperial power is afraid of three points. Zhang Shaoying is just a little beggar, all this is a new and terrifying world. No matter how much he practiced martial arts, he couldn't catch up with these people on the stage, he could only see with his eyes, experience with his heart, and express his opinions. So he could only move forward step by step, the Xuantian faction, the World Martial Arts Association, the grievances of the Xianxia Valley, the alliance of Lanzhou, the bloody battle of Yanjing City, the journey to Xiaoyao City, and then the entanglement of the imperial court, martial arts, and rebels.
Although Zhang Shaoying is insignificant, he knows to cherish everything around him, although he is naïve, he is simple, sincere, and has love in his heart, for these he can sacrifice his life without frowning, which is also his difference. Liu Yan has been pampered since she was a child and studied Confucian classics, but she is deep in the border and is used to killing, so she has the dignity of everyone in her bones, and the anger of martial arts people. Zhang Shaoying didn't know anything about the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, so Liu Yan was his guide. Liu Yan knew the rules and darkness on the rivers and lakes, and she took Zhang Shaoying to familiarize herself with everything here.
Although the combination of him and Zhang Shaoying is because of the combination of interests, Liu Yan is a smart woman, she and Zhang Shaoying both have love in their hearts, they both know to understand, support, cherish, and love each other desperately. It's a simple thing to do, and it's a hard thing to do. Whether ancient or modern, society is different, but people are still the same. Modern society has given us too much pressure, but ancient society does not necessarily have such pressure, and the rivers and lakes are also life.
Ji Lingshuang belongs to the kind of master who has experienced the baptism of wind and rain, and finally returned to the basics. The only unsatisfactory place in her life is her love, before Zhang Shaoying, he loved three men, one died by eating Bodhi fruit by mistake, one was killed by him, and the third she couldn't do it, because she was the same as all women, for a man who possessed her body, her heart was already occupied by this man.
Until she found Zhang Shaoying again, she was infected by his and Liu Yan's life and death. Her heart was originally broken and lonely, and she made a decision with this little envy, so Zhang Shaoying was lucky to have a woman again. Ji Lingshuang is special, Liu Yan is reserved but firm, and Zhang Shaoying is also fascinated by the different temperaments of these two women while cherishing them. Liu Yan took her to know the rivers and lakes, Ji Lingshuang took him to know Wulin, and Zhang Shaoying gave them a seemingly ordinary but intoxicating love. All this seems to be a transaction, Zhang Shaoying has no vigorous deeds, but more of a journey in his heart. Whether it is wanton sinking, or maintaining his original innocence in this world full of killing.
Shangguan Diewu is Zhang Shaoying's third woman, and his intersection with Zhang Shaoying is also because of interests. The bloodline of their Shangguan family is noble and peculiar. She and Zhang Shaoying have never had a wedding, and Zhang Shaoying doesn't know when he and this woman slept together. As the princess of the Stygian Flower Stream, she is noble. The reason why she slept with Zhang Shaoying was just to try to see what kind of child the blood of the Shangguan family could give birth to by combining the blood of the Bodhi flower. It's just that she ignores one point, she is also a woman, no matter how noble she is, no matter how powerful she is, she also needs love. Blood is thicker than water, Zhang Shaoying is the child's father, so Zhang Shaoying was once again stumped by interests.
Zhang Shaoying has been trying to get rid of such a fate, but he can't control his own fate. Outsiders only see him with piles of money, groups of wives and concubines, famous martial arts, jealousy, curses, and resentment, but they don't see the true feelings he has paid. Truth is priceless, this is a simple sentence, but to do it, in the face of the world's entanglement, it is both difficult and easy.
The city of Escape respects women, which is originally a kind of pity and favor for women by men. When the rules of the city were made public, as the public opinion and attack of the ancient society, the powerful Xiaoyao City had to retreat. It is that sentence that makes people's hearts fearful.
The author can't synthesize the entire outline, the emotional entanglement is destined to be complicated, and he can only write along this line of thought, and the author himself is not clear about what the final ending will be. At least for now, this is still a long way off, after all, it is not at that level, and naturally there is no inspiration there.
Zhang Shaoying is not a martial arts but a lover, and his focus and persistence in love can also be called chivalry. Vigorous love is what everyone yearns for, but to do it desperately, reality obviously does not allow it, so such a love of life and death is just a desirable myth. The legend of the fairy couple is the sentence that Liu Yan said to Zhang Shaoying, taste the delicious food in the world, visit the famous mountains and rivers, this is a noble and comfortable life. Zhang Shaoying has such economic ability and is accompanied by such a beautiful woman, but there is no such fairyland on earth. If there is land, there are people, some people will have the world, and if there is the world, they will be bound by the world, so this kind of life is also a yearning for Zhang Shaoying.
He has been lucky all his life because of Ji Lingshuang, and all he has paid is a sincere heart. Whether it is the exchange of interests or the exchange of hearts, they are satisfied. Liu Yan can put down her body and let go of her love to choose Zhang Shaoying. It turned out to be her vision, in addition to the kindness of the Xuantian faction, there was also a choice of interests in her heart. In Ji Lingshuang's eyes, life is ordinary, and it is natural to struggle in order to survive. Her choice of Zhang Shaoying is a kind of life, one day she is tired of it, she can kill Zhang Shaoying and Liu Yan at any time, and then go to find a new life. But she obviously couldn't do it, Zhang Shaoying gave her a different kind of love, her heart was like a bud waiting to bloom, melting in the love she had never experienced. Although Ji Lingshuang has been through the wind and frost and has seen all the states of life, she has been influenced by Confucian classics since she was a child, and love is a responsibility in her eyes, sleeping with Zhang Shaoying, helping him as much as she can, and giving birth to children for him, and all they need is Zhang Shaoying's simple love. So Zhang Shaoying read these books with them, and finally became the same as them, but he did not lose his original nature, maybe this is also his difference.
Love can make people cohesive and warm, Zhang Shaoying knows to cherish everything around her. Cherishing is also simple, but it is also the hardest. Many people feel that they cherish it enough, and they only wake up when they lose it. Cherishing requires patience, understanding, and support, and it's just a simple yet profound emotion.
