Chapter 904

The first chapter of "Journey to the West" is titled: "Spiritual Root Pregnant with Origin, Mind Cultivation Dao Born"!

Zhao Ping raised his eyebrows.

This title is very classical.

As far as he knows, the titles of Ming and Qing novels are basically like this.

Using a rhyming poem to summarize the main idea of the chapter!

Speaking of which, many early web novels also took titles like this, but how can this form be as fragrant as a simple and rude title.

For example, "Shocking xxx", "Shura Field xxx", "Sensation of the whole network xxx"...... such titles can not only grab people's attention, but also allow the author to be lazy, and gradually no one took complex titles.

"Covering all living beings, looking up to supreme benevolence, inventing all things, all become good. Want to know the creation of the Yuan power, must look at Journey to the West to release the disaster!"

"Journey to the West to Release the Disaster" is actually the name of the classical version of "Journey to the West".

However, the young girl didn't struggle with the name, and both versions used the name "Journey to the West".

Zhao Ping lit a cigarette and continued reading. This is his habit; he likes to smoke while writing or reading.

"Covering the number of heaven and earth, there are 129,600 years as a Yuan. Dividing a Yuan into twelve meetings, it is the twelve branches of Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

Each meeting is 10,800 years. And just discussing a day: Zi time gets Yang energy, and Chou is the rooster crowing; Yin does not pass light, and Mao is the sun rising......"

Zhao Ping's smoking speed slowed down.

Every sentence, every paragraph, he had to savor and ponder carefully.

Even with his classical foundation, reading it was very strenuous.

Just a few short paragraphs, and he had already determined that the classical version of "Journey to the West" is difficult for ordinary people to understand at all.

The reading threshold is really too high!

Just the first chapter has various words involving Buddhist scriptures and Daoist canons; without some knowledge in the stomach, one doesn't know what it's talking about at all.

Take the simplest "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao......" at the beginning, ordinary people only know it is an ancient timing method, knowing they are the twelve earthly branches.

But how many people understand what "Zi time gets Yang energy", "Chou time rooster crowing" and so on are.

Zhao Ping only knows a little, for example, "Zi time gets Yang energy" refers to from midnight, Yang energy begins to grow...... this is what the Daoist school calls Yin extreme produces Yang, Yang extreme produces Yin.

Similarly, at Wu time, Yin energy begins to grow...... this is why some people say Wu time is extremely Yin, easy to bump into evil.

However, few people understand the reason.

"What kind of monsters are they!!" Zhao Ping was more shocked the more he looked, his heart was extremely shocked; he didn't expect that Xu Mingyue actually wrote such a novel!

In this short chapter, Xu Mingyue's terrifying classical attainments were displayed vividly; even, not only classical, but also literary language and poems.

For example, the description of the Water Curtain Cave:

"Wind blows, there is a place to hide, rain falls, good to store the body. Frost and snow have no fear, thunder sound never heard."

"Smoke and clouds always shine, auspiciousness steams and smokes every time. Pine and bamboo are beautiful every year, strange flowers are new every day."

A few sentences, and a blessed land of the immortal family jumped onto the paper.

What's even better is the shaping of the protagonist, the Beautiful Monkey King; a few sentences, a few paragraphs of words, and the image of a natural stone monkey came to life, making people deeply impressed.

He is not only a handsome guy among monkeys, but also has his own dreams and pursuits.

Seeing the old monkey in the monkey group die of illness, he gave birth to the heart of seeking the Dao.

Crossing the ocean, experiencing difficulties and obstacles, finally arrived at the Lingtai Square Inch Mountain, Slanted Moon Three Star Cave, and worshipped Bodhi Patriarch as his teacher.

"Hongmeng first opened, originally no surname, breaking the stubborn emptiness must be Wukong!" In the Three Star Cave, Bodhi Patriarch took a name for the natural stone monkey.

From then on, he had a name!

Sun! Wu! Kong!

The first chapter of "Journey to the West" ends here.

When Zhao Ping saw this, he was dumbfounded, and his whole body was covered in goosebumps.

Without some level, how could this sentence be written?

It has too much of the Daoist flavor!

In fact.

He didn't know that this sentence actually came from the poem collection of Ziyang Zhenren of the Northern Song Dynasty on Earth; the original sentence is: "Hongmeng first opened, originally no nature, breaking the stubborn darkness must be Wukong"!

Ziyang Zhenren is a famous high Daoist of the Northern Song Dynasty; the "Wuzhen Pian" he wrote, together with the "Zhouyi Cantong Qi", is known as the "King of Dan Classics"!

Naturally, it is awesome!

"Against the sky!" This is Zhao Ping's evaluation after reading the first chapter of the classical version of "Journey to the West".
