Chapter 153 Philosophy and Reality

Feng Nan returned home at night and chatted with Xu Xian about Lao Tang's reaction.

Satisfied, very satisfied, Chang'an in "Emperor Capital Chapter" is majestic and magnificent, which made him want to choose a site to build a Chang'an city.

"That's not necessary." Xu Xian shook his head, how much it would cost to build the city, "It's too big, and it's okay to shoot related TV series after building a film and television city."

The main reason is that the film and television city is not a one-time building, and after the filming is completed, tickets can be collected to generate income.

At that time, the poems of the previous life will be hung up, allowing people to admire the cultural style of the Tang Dynasty, and allowing tourists to imagine the prosperity of that dynasty in another world.

But tonight, he still wants to continue writing "Journey to the West". It is not much easier to write out the difficulties of "81" than to write "Da Tang".

After all, I have memorized many of these in history class, and I have also read a lot of film and television dramas and novels. There are also a lot of extracurricular readings about history during the student period, and I can write about the general context and characters.

On the other hand, "Journey to the West" is different. His biggest impression of Journey to the West is the sound that would sound during the summer vacation when he was a child, but he would not read it every year, or read the original book in high school. After that, there is only memory.

He has no cheats, no system, and no memorable memory buffs. He can only think about it a little bit by himself, rack his brains, and write a little bit when he thinks of it.

For example, after Tang Seng left Chang'an, he first met General Yin, and the two attendants became the goblin's ration before they could reach the border. Tang Seng was rescued by Taibai Jinxing, then met the hunter Boqin, and was finally stayed overnight.

The general content is like this. Xu Xian still remembers taking notes and thoughts in the book at that time, but it is not clear what it is.

But there is one scene that he remembers very clearly, that is, Tang Seng was rescued by Taibai Jinxing. After meeting Boqin, he first knelt down and begged for mercy. Later, when he knew that the other party was not a villain, he said: "The poor monk is an imperial envoy from the Tang Dynasty to worship Buddha in the west. A monk who seeks scriptures", just this sentence, Tang Seng will say this sentence every time he introduces himself in the future.

Feng Nan watched from the side: "I don't think you are writing a story, the more you look at it, the more it looks like philosophy."

Xu Xian smiled, "Not only philosophy, but also religion, but in the final analysis, it is still a philosophical issue."

He has not yet written about the appearance of Bajie and Drifting Monk. After these two people come out, Sanzang, Wukong, Wuneng, and Wujing will not only have Buddhist meanings, but also the mysteries of heaven, earth, yin and yang, and the human body.

Simply because Xu Xian couldn't think of the following plot for the time being, he happened to give Feng Nan a rough idea of ​​the four masters and apprentices, so maybe he could think of something else.

"Tripitaka is the title of Buddhism, which shows that this monk's Dharma is profound and all-encompassing."

"He will take four disciples in the future, the Monkey King who made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace before, Zhu Wuneng, the marshal of the canopy, Sha Wujing, the general of the curtain, and Xiaobailong, the third prince of the Dragon King."

Feng Nan kept it in her heart carefully. It seemed that Xu Xian had already had the main idea of ​​the whole story and the main characters. Unfortunately, she didn't know much about religion. "What special meaning do these names have?"

"Although the protagonist group consists of four people, oh, Xiaobailong is Tang Seng's mount, and most of them are quietly being a horse, so let's ignore him for the time being."

"We assume that Sanzang, Wukong, Wuneng, and Wujing are one person, and this person is Tang Xuanzang."

"Xuanzang is his Dharma name, and Tripitaka represents his knowledge. Now he is going west to learn Buddhist scriptures, which is actually a process of cultivation."

Xu Xian: "Wukong is a monkey, not a monkey, it's just a metaphor."

"The five internal organs of the human body correspond to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the heart and lungs belong to yang, and the five elements match the earthly branches, corresponding to Shen. Therefore, the heart, lung, and yang qi are compared to a monkey tempered by fire. The monkey jumps up and down, corresponding to the heart. This is the heart ape. In order to exercise the heart ape, so To travel and go through hardships, the more experiences, the more determined the mind, this is the "mind-training ape" in Taoism."

"So after Sun Wukong meets Tang Seng, he will be given a new name, Xingzhe, and Xinyuan must cultivate to the realm of "emptiness" to be consummated. This is the meaning of Bodhi Patriarch's name Wukong."

Feng Nan's eyes widened suddenly: "You said Patriarch Bodhi knew from the beginning that Monkey King would go to learn scriptures?"

Xu Xian scratched his head, "Didn't I say in "Fengshen Bang" that after the Conferring of the Gods, the Western religion will flourish, and there are still many stories between Fengshen and Journey to the West that I haven't written, and I plan to let netizens play them in the future." Xu Xian I have read online articles in my previous life, knowing how big those people's brains are, it can be said to be amazing.

As for why those immortals who were disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun in Fengshenli became Buddhist Bodhisattvas in Journey to the West, then I don't know.

Anyway, I explained in Fengshen that after the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Twelve Golden Immortals followed Yuanshi Tianzun back to Kunlun to practice.

Feng Nan decided not to delve into this issue. The outline of "Journey to the West" Xu Xian writes every day. As for the metaphor of the story, we can discuss it after the outline is over:

"Then who is Wu Neng you're talking about?"

Xu Xian put away the pen completely, and carried Feng Nan to the audio-visual room. The two lay on the sofa bed. Feng Nan adjusted his posture to make Xu Xian's hands more comfortable.

Xu Xian: "The liver and kidney are yin qi, the five elements match the stems and branches, and the liver and kidney correspond to the water, so the yin qi is described as a pig immersed in water."

"Wu Neng's surname is pig, and his name is Bajie. It means that this pig is in charge of the seven emotions and six desires of human beings. It is greedy and lustful. If it is not restrained, it will pose a great threat to the heart ape. Therefore, when training this pig, you must observe the precepts and treat it as eight. Quit."

"One abstains from killing, two abstains from stealing, three abstains from violence, four abstains from lying, five abstains from drinking alcohol, sixth abstains from wearing fragrant flowers, seven abstains from sitting and lying on high and wide beds, and eight abstains from untimely eating."

"No wonder it's so difficult for you to write. You're only a few years old, and you're about to start writing philosophy." Feng Nan touched Xu Xian's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Are you breaking the precept on Gao Guang's bed now?"

Xu Xian smelled the fragrance from Feng Nan's body, he was tumbling for a moment, unable to restrain his mind, and searched up and down: "Don't be afraid, we still have Wujing, the energy of the spleen, the five elements belong to the earth, and it is something that harmonizes the heart yang and kidney yin, so His name is Monk Sha."

"When Wukong and Wu Neng have conflicts, he is responsible for smoothing things over, so he can't be too noisy first, this is "Jing"."

Feng Nan panted softly, "You are not quiet at all now."

Xu Xian turned over and looked into Feng Nan's beautiful eyes from top to bottom: "I'm not a monk, I don't need to train my mind and ape to surrender my horse, and my little white dragon has to run away before it is put on the rein. "

Feng Nan originally thought that Xu Xian was talking about Tang Seng's last apprentice, Xiao Bailong, but he didn't expect that Xu Xian had already welded the door of the car to drive, so he couldn't help but spit at him, "Rogue."

Xu Xian laughed, and kissed Feng Nan: "Besides, stories are stories, philosophy is philosophy, and reality is reality. I can still distinguish these things clearly. We are all just mortals, so it's better to enjoy the moment."

Feng Nan's eyes were full of water, and he was no longer as cold as usual. Xu Xian couldn't control this kind of temperamental change from a high-cold Yujie president to a charming girlfriend.

If you are not careful, it is easy to cause such annoying things as excessive demands.

It can only be said that it is too young.
