Seeing the manuscript handed over by Li Mingbao, Jin Yong immediately started reading it, which took more than an hour. You must know that a figure like Jin Yong will definitely not read too slowly. From the time after Pangu opened the sky to the first calamity of Longhan, there were actually not many words, only about 100,000 words in total. This was specially adapted by Li Mingbao for the novel. If it were written according to the biography, the number of words would be much less, at least more than half of the words would not be included. After all, the most deeply rooted thing in a book like The Ancient Times is that The Ancient Times does not count the years. What does it mean to ignore the years? Even those characters from ancient times didn't even know what years and time were. As the first batch of created beings, as long as their lifespan is not ended due to accidents, they will basically never die. At least in the myths that Li Mingbao knew, those little people who had been alive for many years, ordinary species like cows, could still run around when they traveled to the west. Just like Laojun¡¯s cow, it is not a noble species, nor is it a unique species, but even such a cow can shake in Journey to the West. Even a natural species like Sun Wukong, due to his late birth, can't even afford a cow, and any two magic weapons can make him disgraced. You must know that in the prehistoric times, many talented people did not buy the magic weapon at all. Not to mention magical treasures, even things like innate spiritual treasures will be broken if others say they are broken. Sun Wukong's golden cudgel looks awesome. Whoever it hits will die, and whoever it hits will be injured. But the Golden Cudgel is just a spiritual treasure of acquired merit, not even a treasure. The top of this type of treasure is the Nine Heavens Xuanhuang Pagoda. Just the Xuanhuang Qi on the body can crush a lot of people in Journey to the West. Big shot inside. Therefore, the myths of the prehistoric times cannot be explained using common sense. Not to mention the prehistoric era, even the later Fengshen could completely destroy the last territory of the prehistoric era. How many great people were there in the prehistoric era? Saints were fighting to become gods, but there were no saints in the ancient world. The value of force in that era was simply endless. Li Mingbao was thinking about the plot of the prehistoric times while diverging his thoughts. When Jin Yong saw Li Mingbao's book, he was also very cautious. Although from the perspective of the story structure, Li Mingbao wrote a novel, Jin Yong did not dare to regard this story as a simple novel. When it comes to myths, every country with a history has its own mythology system. And only Huaxia has such a complex system of mythology as Huaxia. So as long as you are involved in this type of novel, it cannot be read simply as a novel. So Jin Yong was reading and wondering if there were any loopholes in what Li Mingbao wrote. But the more Jin Yong read, the more he felt that there really were no loopholes in this huge system written by Li Mingbao, even the top ten spiritual roots. Things like the top ten innate treasures seem to be just that, and there are also those mythical species. Even a knowledgeable person like Jin Yong, not many of them know their origins. It was only a hundred thousand words, but Jin Yong read it for more than an hour. After reading the manuscript, Jin Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Li Sheng is a great talent. Perhaps only people like Li Sheng can write a manuscript." The arrogance of the unicorn, the pride of the phoenix, and the tyranny of the dragon clan are written so thoroughly by Li Sheng, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. I can't comment on this book. Why is there no Buddhism in the content written by Li Sheng? You must know that Buddhism occupies an important position in the Chinese mythology system, especially in Southeast Asia. Buddhism is very popular. Without Buddhism, how can we say it is Is the mythological system complete? " "Jin Yong is a Buddhist, so he also has his own preference for Buddhism, but after reading the whole novel, Jin Yong did not find any trace of Buddhism, which made Jin Yong feel strange, so after reading the book Couldn't help but bring it up. "Didn't I say that the first part of this book has only been written now? And when it came to the first part, let alone Buddhism, there was no Taoism, right? If there were no saints, how could there be a sect?" Li Mingbao laughed. replied. Hearing what Li Mingbao said, Jin Yong thought for a moment and then guessed: "So, Li Sheng, in your ancient world, only the emergence of saints can sects appear? Saints mean that only those who have education can become saints?" Hearing Jin Yong said this, and Li Mingbao also admired it very much. You must know that the concept of saints should be truly realized, rather than an empty term, because it states that saints need to educate others in order to become saints. Otherwise, saints are also mortals. "While Li Mingbao hasn't expressed such a concept yet, Jin Yong is keenly aware of this problem, which shows that Jin Yong's mind is not ordinary. You must know that at the beginning, Li Mingbao introduced Honghuang to Jin Yong, which was just to sort out the Chinese mythology system, and then immediately introduced it to Jin Yong.Jie's manuscript didn't say anything at all, but Jin Yong was able to guess some facts between the lines of Li Mingbao's words. It was really scary. If Li Mingbao didn't have a lot of knowledge and memory, it would be really difficult to face a master like Jin Yong. Not enough. Since the spoiler has been revealed, Li Mingbao doesn't mind revealing more. Anyway, he will have to say it later, so it is better to thoroughly implement the concept of saint first: "To talk about the concept of saint, we have to mention one person. , that is Hongjun Taoist. This is the first saint after the creation of heaven, and most of the subsequent saints are Hongjun's disciples, just like the ancestors of Buddhism, Jie Yin, Zhunti, and the three ancestors of Taoism. Qing, the founder of mankind, Nuwa. If these people had not listened to Hongjun's preaching, they would not have become saints so quickly. And Hongjun's great ambition to become saints was to educate these people. Enlightenment. Therefore, in ancient times, the prerequisite for becoming a saint was enlightenment. Without enlightenment, even if you have the opportunity to become a saint, you cannot become a saint. Therefore, under the so-called calamity, no one can become a saint. They are all ants, which means that even countless calamities cannot harm the saint." Jin Yong frowned when he heard Li Mingbao's explanation. As a traditional Buddhist, he heard that Li Mingbao was said to be the founder of Buddhism. Taoist Jingyin and Taoist Zhunti were very unhappy. So he began to retort: ??"As for the origin of Taoist Jie Yin, I also know a little. Jie Yin is called Taoist, it is better to call him the Buddha. He is Amitabha. It doesn't matter if he is the ancestor of Buddhism. Question. But except for the origin of Zhunti Taoist, which appears in the novel "Feng Shen Yan", other biographies and myths do not describe him much. Li Sheng, why do you think that Zhunti Taoist is also the ancestor of Buddhism? This is somewhat It doesn¡¯t make sense.¡± Issues of faith have always been important. Especially regarding the figures in the faith, no one can slander them. Especially for a Buddhist like Jin Yong, he must have a clear debate with Li Mingbao on such a serious issue related to the founder of Buddhism. In later generations, there are many reasons why the prehistoric system was not recognized by the vast majority of people. One is that traditional literature does not tolerate it, and Buddhists do not accept it. This is actually an important reason. The reason why Buddhists do not accept it is to a large extent. It's because they don't agree with the identity of the person who proposed the Taoism. After all, this big boss has a low chance of appearing in any legend. No one would accept it if he was rashly promoted to this position. But now that Li Mingbao has published the book "Honghuang", he naturally wants to make this statement more convincing. If he can't convince Jin Yong alone, how can he convince other people? So as soon as Jin Yong spoke, Li Mingbao said with a smile: "When it comes to Taoist Zhunti, there is actually another identity that needs to be mentioned. I wonder if Mr. Jin Yong knows the character of Patriarch Bodhi?" "You mean? Sun Wukong's master Bodhi Patriarch in Journey to the West?" Jin Yong didn't know why Li Mingbao pulled out Journey to the West again, so he frowned and asked. "Yes, I am talking about such a character. In Journey to the West, the character Patriarch Bodhi appears very suddenly, with no origin and no way to go. But what he does is to lay out the plan for Journey to the West. In this regard Mr. Jin Yong should have no doubts," Li Mingbao said. "This is true. Without a figure like Patriarch Bodhi, Sun Wukong would not have been able to learn so many skills. Naturally, he would not be able to become the protector of Journey to the West, and Journey to the West would not be able to use it." Jin Yong nodded and admitted. "Journey to the West is of great benefit to Buddhism. 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 Journey to the West, Buddhism became more dominant than Taoism. Prosperity, Mr. Jin Yong will not deny this. " "No, Li Sheng, you are wrong on this point. Buddhism has entered the Central Plains since the late Western Han Dynasty, and it was not the Tang Dynasty that flourished. The Southern and Northern Dynasties were truly at their peak during the Sui and Tang Dynasties," Jin Yong retorted. "Jin Daxia, what we are talking about now is not history, but mythology. Things like mythology ignore the age and so on. The Southern and Northern Dynasties are not far away from the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was also the time when Buddhism was truly at its peak. So there is basically nothing wrong with saying that. If Honghuang had written official history, there would not have been so many mythical characters. The most important thing for me to write this book was to thoroughly sort out the characters in the mythology. Let's not make the origins of these characters confusing, so there are naturally some differences with the official history. I didn't say that "The Great Desolation" was official history from the beginning, but that it was a novel. In fact, the characters in the mythology were of different origins. Most of them are novels, so I can be considered as one of the same line." Li Mingbao didn't have the confidence to truly discuss his official history skills in front of Jin Yong, so he did it.?? brings out the essence of the novel. Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Jin Yong was also stunned, and then he smiled: "I'm the one who got caught. Myths are absurd things in the first place, so how can they be compared with official history? Then Li Sheng, you should continue talking about Patriarch Bodhi. ¡±
