Chapter 499 Mixed Flavors(1/3)
Author: Write a new dream
Different from the beginning of the original book where we knew that the sword was called Zhu Xian, after the teachers’ initial discussion, a naming plot was added, and the naming plot of the word "Zhu Xian" was placed in this plot to highlight the topic.
At first, many viewers always thought that "Zhu Xian" literally means killing the immortal.
When I read this part of the plot, I really understood the meaning of "Zhu Xian".
It turns out that when killing immortals, what is being punished is not the so-called immortals, but greed and desire.
[It turns out that this sword is called Zhu Xian. What did I think it was? 】
[Let me tell you, it’s later in the broadcast. The previous plot seems to have nothing to do with the word Zhu Xian. It turned out to be hidden here. 】
[The plot of this episode is about something.]
【……】
If we borrow the plot of Wan Jianyi and name a sword Zhu Xian to highlight the whole drama, it has some connotation.
The following plot made many viewers feel emotional and felt a certain depth.
The Zhuxian Sword, glowing with blood, hangs in the air, swaying and strangely.
Gui Li slowly walked to the Zhuxian Sword, raised his head and watched calmly.
But the next moment, under the astonished looks of Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi, Gui Li reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword without any explanation.
What makes these two people who have cultivated senses unbelievable is that Gui Li did not suffer the backlash of the Immortal Killing Sword!
"How is that possible?" Daoxuan, who was seriously injured, murmured weakly. Sitting cross-legged, he was shocked.
Wan Jianyi didn't say anything, but he had acted calmly and calmly from the moment he appeared until now, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Gui Li wanted to lift the Zhuxian Sword. Although the Zhuxian Sword was motionless and out of his control, the fact that it did not receive any backlash was surprising.
Someone as strong as Daoxuan was defeated twice.
As strong as Wan Jianyi, even the master who once faced demonic possession and held the Immortal Killing Sword in his hand was powerless to resist.
Not to mention that their masters were also turned into demons by the Immortal Killing Sword, eventually causing a series of tragedies.
In the hearts of the audience, they also have a certain understanding of the setting of this sword, and whoever takes it will get into trouble.
However, nothing happened to Gui Li.
why is that?
"Tsk..." Mr. Ghost sneered and looked at Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi who looked surprised, with some amusement in their eyes.
After discussions with the teachers on the production team, this scene was given an interpretation using Mr. Ghost’s lines, which is also an ideological point of view.
In the previous plot, Wan Jianyi said about Zhu Xian Jian: Those who are not strong-minded cannot be controlled, and those who are unstable are in vain, and those who practice Taoism in the world are all aiming to become immortals.
In Wan Jianyi's concept, the so-called immortality is desire.
When Wan Jianyi named the sword Zhuxian, he firmly believed that only when people are free from desires can they become firm in their pursuit of the Tao.
However, whether it is Wan Jianyi or Daoxuan, are these two people in a firm state of mind?
When the incident of Master's becoming a demon occurred, it was impossible for these two people to be in a stable state of mind, and they would never be able to reach the so-called understanding of thoughts.
Why?
Daoxuan and Wan Jianyi are both sticklers for the sect's rules, or people who stick to the rules.
But the master became a demon and Daoxuan killed his master. Wan Jianyi violated the sect rules and was punished for Daoxuan. Daoxuan violated the sect rules again and let Wan Jianyi fake his death to escape. Wan Jianyi violated the sect rules again and agreed.
As a seeker of the Tao, one must be firm in one's mind. If both of them have violated the sect rules and creed that one has believed in for many years, how can one still be firm in one's mind?
This matter can be said to be the inner demon of two people.
Because of this, Daoxuan will never be able to master the Zhuxian Sword, and if he has distracting thoughts in his mind, he will be counterattacked by the Zhuxian Sword.
[According to this, Daoxuan is not firm-minded. He let Wan Jianyi go at first, but he killed Ye Xiaofan with all his strength, repeatedly jumping between violating the sect rules and sticking to the sect rules. 】
【……】
After hearing Mr. Ghost's explanation, the audience also understood the reason why Daoxuan could not master the Zhuxian Sword no matter what and suffered backlash twice in a row.
"And you..." Mr. Ghost looked at Wan Jianyi.
"When Cangsong and Puzhi fought in Caomiao Village at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, with your cultivation level and your familiarity with Cansong, you saw the strange phenomenon in the sky, which happened to be the secret of Qingyun's Divine Sword Controlling Thunder.
When it is powerful, you may not be able to stop it in time, but you cannot fail to know that one of the two sides in the battle is Cangsong!"
"You clearly knew that Cangsong might have betrayed the Qingyun Sect, but you didn't mention it at all. You still prayed for your way and asked your heart in front of your ancestor's ancestral hall."
"Wan Jianyi, is this the Taoism and Nature that you want to pursue? Are you indifferent to everything in the world? Even if your fellow sect is your junior brother, you don't care at all?"
"Are you sure you are seeking Tao?"
"If a person loses all his emotions and desires, how can he seek the truth?!"
Wan Jianyi's expression suddenly changed, and his state of mind was severely impacted.
When the audience saw this scene and heard Mr. Ghost's lines, they had a clearer understanding of the character Wan Jianyi.
Wan Jianyi pursues Taoism and nature?
Wan Jianyi lost his seven emotions and six desires?
Thinking back, it really fits the plot chain.
According to Wan Jianyi's memories of the past two weeks, he almost single-handedly swept through the former Demonic Holy Cult, and no one was his opponent.
Recalling the memory scene in the previous scene, Wan Jianyi and Cangsong have a very good personal relationship, and Cangsong can be said to be Wan Jian's junior brother.
According to what Mr. Ghost just said, with such a high level of cultivation and such a relationship with Cangsong, it seems reasonable that Wan Jianyi could sense that one of them was Cangsong during the battle in Caomiao Village.
But Wan Jianyi didn't stop him.
Not only that, the Demon Sect attacked Qingyun Sect for the first time, Daoxuan was almost burped by Cangsong in a sneak attack, and Wan Jianyi still didn't show up.
In the previous two episodes, the Beast God, who was more powerful than the people of the Demon Cult, came to attack the Qingyun Sect, causing Daoxuan to appear in such a life-threatening state, and Wan Jianyi still didn't show up.
These scenes of the plot seem to verify Mr. Ghost’s statement.
[I thought about it for a while. In fact, Wan Jianyi violated the sect rules again. When Zhang Xiaofan became a disciple, didn’t the Qingyun Sect have a sect rule asking fellow sects to help when they are in trouble? Wan Jianyi has never helped, what the hell is the Qingyun Sect?
He was almost destroyed by the Beast God, and Wan Jianyi didn’t show up.】
【Yes, that makes sense.】
[That said, why do I have the feeling that Wan Jian Yiqiu’s path is an evil path?]
【Make yourself ruthless and desireless, Wan Jianyi is also a ruthless person.】
【……】
As a human being, how can it be possible to be heartless and desireless?
Some viewers with profound interpretations believe that Wan Jianyi seems to have misunderstood the path he wants to take, and that he has embarked on a path that is impossible for a human being to pursue.
In other words, Wan Jianyi went astray.
Since it is impossible for a person to be heartless and desireless, but Wan Jianyi chose to take this path, it is no wonder that his state of mind is so determined. It seems that he was struggling in his heart all the time when he was seeking the Tao.
But what about Gui Li?
Gui Li's way is much simpler - resurrect Baguio.
This is the way of Gui Li, without any impurities.
Under this discussion of Taoism, it is understandable that Gui Li was not immune to the backlash of the Immortal Killing Sword because his mind was as firm as iron.
At the same time, this plot is so ironic.
The Zhuxian Sword is the most precious treasure of the Qingyun Sect, and it is something that Daoxuan desperately wants to control. He once used the Zhuxian Sword to kill Baguio, seriously injured Zhang Xiaofan, and also caused Daoxuan himself to suffer backlash.
But what about now?
Did you ever think of me as a devil?
Have you ever wanted to kill me?
Do you regard the Zhuxian Sword as the most precious treasure of righteousness?
But now, I, the devil, have grasped the treasure of righteousness that you, a righteous man, cannot grasp.
