February 18th is the Nantian Festival.
A slight drizzle began to fall in Nantian City.
The rain was very light, dribs and drabs, and my clothes were almost not wet.
Standing among the crowd watching the ceremony, Nan Yi did not hold an umbrella.
Not only him, but also everyone else did not hold an umbrella, and only looked silently at the Sheji Altar in the center of the ceremony.
In front of the Sheji altar, Chu Kuangsheng lit three large incense sticks, paid homage to Sihun Yuezai, and then read a eulogy, reading out the names of the innocent victims one by one, and expressing his deep condolences.
Then, all the officials in the county began to chant "Ode to the Silence of Xuan Cang" in unison, wishing the deceased to rest in peace in the afterlife.
Nan Yi watched the ceremony quietly.
Whether he was selfish or cold-blooded and did not regard people from other worlds as compatriots, Nan Yi did not feel that he was at fault for the innocent victims who were implicated this time.
But he admitted that these innocent dead people were indeed implicated because they alarmed the Ming Zun and attracted the covetousness of the demon cultivators.
Nan Yi does not blame himself.
If you are successful, you can help the world; if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself.
He had not been practicing for a long time, and he was still just a young monk who could not protect himself. Unless he intentionally harmed others, Nan Yi would not blame himself for this.
But he felt depressed.
In a world where the jungle prevails, the common people are unable to protect themselves and may become a victim of disaster at any time.
He thought about Nanshi Village again, his relatives and the villagers he was familiar with. Not only did they die at the hands of Xu Luo, they also died very lightly, and they lost their lives with almost no sense of reality.
The lives of the people are like straw.
Even if he dies lightly, there is no need to worry about it.
Don't look at the fact that you are just watching with cold eyes, while Chu Kuangsheng is leading the officials of the county and city to perform the Nantian Festival.
But Nan Yi felt that apart from being upset about the collapse of the Nantian Tower and his negligence in his duties, Chu Kuangsheng felt that he had no psychological fluctuations at all regarding the deaths of these people.
Nan Yi lowered his eyes slightly.
The innocent deceased this time was implicated by Nan Yi.
But outside Nantian City, there must be many people who died unexpectedly, and died extremely lightly.
Nan Yi believes that the fault of the innocent dead in Nantian City who were implicated and died this time is not actually his fault, nor does it lie with the Eternal Bright Fire Sect.
If you really want to say it, the mistake lies in this world.
Although after Si Muyuezai attained enlightenment, he created the Dragon Qi Law, which could restrain the gods, separate immortals from mortals, and protect mortals as much as possible.
Compared with the worldview of many immortals and demons in previous lives, the people in this world are already quite happy, able to form order and develop civilization under the protection of the Dragon Qi Law.
But Nan Yi felt that there was still something missing in this world.
Such as heavenly calamity, such as karma.
Perhaps only by killing people will accumulate karma, and accumulating karma will lead to heavenly calamity, can monks in this world really value the lives of people, instead of treating them as trivial, killing them whenever they want, harming them whenever they want, almost No scruples.
Unfortunately, only by attaining the Tao of Yuezai can the laws of this world be changed.
For Nan Yi at the moment, these thoughts can be called delusions, too early, too early.
Nan Yi had no choice but to bury the corresponding thoughts deep in his heart, and then made a note of the Eternal Bright Fire Sect in his heart.
If you can't find the world's fault, you can only blame it on the Eternal Flame Cult's account first.
But looking at the Nantian Festival in front of him, Nan Yi's heart moved, and a strong inspiration suddenly came to him.
Chu Kuangsheng had to worry about how to build momentum with his internal strength.
Chu Kuangsheng only asked Nan Yi to write a letter to Xie Beihe, release the existing manuscript as soon as possible, update it every day, and send the impressions of each issue to the county town, where they will be vigorously printed.
In addition, Xie Beihe was also invited to come to the county town, as the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao, to guard Nan Yi's updates and quickly arrange the subsequent Ming Pao content.
As Nan Yi's reward for killing Gu Yongze, in addition to building momentum for Nan Yi's internal strength and Ming Bao, Chu Kuangsheng also selected a place from the Zhao family's large and small houses to be given to Nan Yi.
Not only can Nanyi live in it, but it can also accommodate Nanyi’s relatives and friends.
Nan Yi is a ghostwriter with a little bit of ink skills, and he doesn't have to worry too much about coding. In recent days, he has been rapidly updating the content of "The Legend of Two Dragons in the Great Li" at a speed that is astonishing for writers in this world.
At this moment, Nan Yi suddenly had an inspiration and felt the urge to talk without vomiting.
Nan Yi's core original intention for creating "The Legend of Two Dragons" has always been to make money.
Even if he later thought about borrowing books to become famous, he only created passively in the simple spirit of "I am better than others" after analyzing that monks in this world valued fame.
In addition to making money, Nan Yi writes books, periodicals and newspapers, and has never had a very subjective desire to create.
Awakening the talent of "Emperor's Sword" was more of an unintentional one for Nanyi himself.
But now, Nan Yi suddenly had a sudden inspiration and decided to create martial arts stories for himself, sublimating the theme of the work and refining the spirit of the work.
To put it simply, Nan Yi is going to write a separate essay to explain his thoughts——
At the same time, it also explains what martial arts is and what the spirit of martial arts is.
Taking advantage of Chu Kuangsheng's efforts to build momentum for himself, Nan Yi planned to directly use the brand of martial arts, no longer follow the traditional customs of this world, and continue to wear the name of martial artist.
What is martial arts?
This is easy to say, it is to promote the spirit of martial arts.
But what is the spirit of martial arts?
In Tianxia, Xia culture is a self-evident cultural heritage.
Based on the inheritance of chivalry culture, Mr. Jin's sentence "The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people" can directly carry forward the past and forge ahead with the word "xia" and create a new style of "martial arts".
But in this world, not only is there no such thing as the old school of martial arts, but even the culture of martial arts cannot even be said to exist.
Therefore, in Nan Yi's composition, he intends to first clarify the word "xia" and develop the spirit of martial arts from it, and then directly use the spirit of martial arts to open up a truth.
Of course, it is said to be a composition, but in fact it is also a copy of the text, which is modified based on the classics of the previous life.
As for the object of the text, Nan Yi had already thought about it on a whim just now and chose "The Man with the Loyalty and the Benevolent Man" written by his previous life Wang Yangming.
Although this article is an eight-part essay, it is powerful and impressive.
More importantly, in Nan Yi's view, if a person with lofty ideals and a benevolent person were to be combined into one word, it would be "xia".
Nan Yi quickly returned to the house, picked up his pen and started composing.
When he started writing, Diandian rolled aside and looked at Nan Yi curiously.
Recently, Nan Yi has been dictating the code words, and then Diandian has done the ghostwriting for Nan Yi.
Suddenly seeing Nan Yi writing the pen himself, Diandian was really curious.
It climbed onto a pile of books piled on the desk and looked down, so that it could directly see what Nan Yi was writing.
As a result, Diandian was suddenly stunned as he looked at it.
It muttered a passage from Nan Yi's article:
"Things in the world are unpredictable, and the relationship between life and death is very important. There are people who are willing to avoid difficulties, and seek to survive to harm the benevolent; there are also those who see danger and are ordered to kill themselves to achieve benevolence. This is the reason for decision-making and perseverance. It’s easy to be confused. I owe it to people with lofty ideals and benevolent people!”
Diandian was a little confused: It turns out that this is Xia.
It went back to recall the plot of the story that it had ghostwritten before. The more it thought about it, the more surprised it became, and its mouth opened wide.
Before Diandian, I only knew that the martial arts dictated by Nan Yi were not much different from ordinary martial arts. Although it ghostwrites and codes every day, it does not take the plot of "The Legend of Two Dragons" seriously.
It followed Nan Yi mainly because he wanted to share Nan Yi's literary spirit and talent while eating ink.
But after reading this article written by Nan Yi, "People with Patriotism and Benevolence", I looked back and thought about the plot I had ghostwritten before, and suddenly I felt a sense of lofty mission.
It is not ghostwriting for Nan Yi, but preaching for Nan Yi, using stories as a carrier to promote the spirit of martial arts to the outside world.
From now on, I don’t care about any literary qualities or talents.
It just wants chivalry.
Diandian clenched her little fists and made hahahaha gestures on the book, pretending that she was using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Diandian has decided that from now on, it will change its nickname and will no longer be called Diandian.
We should call it: Dot-and-Dian Man!
