So, where is the real Kunlun
Lin Fan couldn't explain it clearly, so even if Kunlun was really extraordinary, he couldn't figure out the direction now and didn't know where to find Kunlun.
Tianshan Mountains
The same is true, and relatively speaking, Tianshan has more "martial arts" legends, while the legends related to immortals are far less than Kunlun.
So, going to these places
I must go, but not now.
At least, we have to first determine where it is, right
Even if you are not sure, you should at least have a few target locations, and then go to the site to confirm them one by one, right
Now I am completely confused, why should I go to Kunlun? Isn't this just a waste of time and life
…
"That's true..."
Old Chen said, "Although I study physics, I have also chatted with professors of other subjects."
"I remember they did say that many place names in ancient times are not the same as the current place names. The most typical example is Kunlun..."
"As for where the ancient Kunlun is, there is still no definite answer, so it is really hard to find."
"Isn't it?"
Lin Fan spread his hands.
This stuff, even if you find some ancient records, may not be accurate. As soon as you open your mouth, they will give you something like the coast of the Bohai Sea, or south or north of the XX River or something like that.
But the problem is that the rivers and seas in ancient times were not the rivers and seas of today!
Especially the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it’s simply amazing…
But this "simply" Shan Hai Jing is not a lie. Some of the records in it have been confirmed...
Of course, most of them are still just 'legends' so far.
But this also proves that Shan Hai Jing is not completely a random record. It is even possible that it is all true, but has not been confirmed!
But that’s where the problem lies.
This thing is really hard to study...
Lin Fan still remembers that when he was in junior high school, he watched a long video made by a so-called "folk scientist" called "Proof that All Humanity Originated from China"...
He watched it with great interest at the time, but as he grew older and gained more experience, he felt that it was more and more nonsense.
Because one of the views is that, including the Chinese, are all "seeds" sown by aliens. Pangu, Nuwa and others are actually the first patriarchs of China.
At the same time, Nuwa is also some Western god, because they appeared at a similar time, and both have human heads and snake bodies...
Not only that, many Chinese myths can also be compared with Western myths.
Another example is Dayu's flood control.
According to some records of ancient Western civilizations, a great flood also broke out in the West during that period...
In short, it is to use some related records to connect the entire human race together, and then interpret it in a way that makes sense.
If you don't do any research and just look at it from the author's perspective, there's really nothing wrong with it. You might even find it quite cool, 666.
But if you study it yourself, you will find that there are many things that can be overturned and cannot withstand careful scrutiny...
Of course, Lin Fan is not thinking about whether what is said in the video is true or false, but is thinking about the Kunlun written in it...
All right!
There is another suspected location of Kunlun.
How to confirm
Lin Fan really had no idea for the moment.
Seeing this guy's sad face, Old Chen also fell into deep thought. Then, an idea flashed in his mind.
"How about I introduce you to some professors of Chinese studies or ancient literature, and you two can discuss it together and see if you can figure out where Kunlun is?"
"I'll wait for a chance later..."
Lin Fan pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.
First, he had already used up more than half of his time here, and second... he was actually very curious about one thing~!
That is, Kunlun and other places have left countless rich and colorful traces in the legends about immortals.
If we infer based on this.
Longhu Mountain, the ancestral home of Taoism, Tianshi Temple, actually has not as many legends about immortals as those in Kunlun, nor are they as terrifying as those in Kunlun.
After all, the most awesome person in the legend of Mount Longhu is Zhang Daoling, but in Kunlun... the boss is always someone like the Queen Mother of the West!
Another example is Wudang...
In fact, the most famous person in Wudang is Zhang Sanfeng.
Many people believe that this great man lived to be over a hundred years old, and in many novels and unofficial historical records, Zhang Sanfeng was invincible and the ceiling of martial arts in the world.
Many people even think that in that era, everyone else practiced martial arts, but Zhang Sanfeng practiced Taoism...
So here comes the question.
In Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion and other places, surprising changes occurred after the revival of spiritual energy.
As Kunlun is even more powerful in the legend, there is no reason for there to be no changes or movements, right
In other words.
Lin Fan suddenly thought that he might not need to spend too much time and energy to find and determine where Kunlun was.
When more and more places see the revival of spiritual energy, perhaps Kunlun will emerge on its own
Perhaps it would be wisest to wait until then to go to Kunlun for a visit!
Therefore, he temporarily rejected Old Chen's proposal and said, "I am working with the Department of Residents' Happiness and Life to get some common sense for cultivators..."
"When I'm done, I'll give you a copy, so you don't have to guess by reading the novel..."
"You finally remembered this?"
Old Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I thought these things couldn't be told to us! It made me read a lot of immortal cultivation novels."
Zhou Na didn't say anything, but her little head was nodding very quickly, like pounding garlic.
Lin Fan: “…”
"Well, you didn't ask me?"
"… "
Seeing the speechless expressions of the two, the guy grinned and said, "Hey, it's not a big problem."
"I'll give it to you when it's ready in a few days."
Read novels about cultivating immortals to imagine the real cultivation of immortals... Well, there will definitely be similarities, because there are so many novels about cultivating immortals.
Although it's a fantasy.
Take science fiction novels and science fiction movies as an example. Aren’t some of the things that were considered impossible in the past slowly becoming reality
Maybe the realms in immortal cultivation novels are different... But, what's the big deal if the realms are different? Just "replace" it yourself.
Maybe the baby has a different name
Just know that there is a treasure!
For example, spirit gathering formations are common in novels, and we also have them in real life!
Therefore, Old Chen and others felt that reading more immortal cultivation novels would be beneficial, so they kept making up for it when they had some free time...
Lin Fan also didn't know why there were so many similarities between immortal cultivation novels and real novels. Not 70% or 80%, but 40% or 50% were still similar.
Of course, the martial arts techniques in novels are all made up. You will definitely not be able to master them if you practice them according to the instructions.
But here comes the problem.
For example, the seventh elder Wu Lian was fooled by Lin Fan and practiced the method of fusion of strange fire and Buddha's Wrath Lotus. The most important thing is that he actually mastered it.
Who can I go to for justice?!
"This may be because, for the strong among the immortal cultivators, they originally had the opportunity to create their own methods."
"So for them, most of the time, what's important is an idea, not the steps. With an idea, they can create their own method?"
“Maybe it’s possible.”
This guy couldn't help but mutter to himself: "If you put it that way, it's quite interesting."
"That is to say, although Chinese novelists are not good at cultivating immortals, they all have incredible imaginations, and their theories are all amazing?"
"Clothes!"
"But, having said that..."
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Who created the Immortal Cultivation System?"
"Or, in other words, who created the genre of cultivation novels?"
"I suddenly realized that this person... is worth getting in touch with~!"
There are too many coincidences between novels and real cultivation!
Too many coincidences become inevitable.
If we say that the reason why there are so many coincidences nowadays is that there are countless novels about cultivating immortals, and people are using all kinds of imagination. If you read enough novels, you will find that there are many similarities with the real cultivation of immortals.
But who was the first person to write a novel about cultivation
Where did his ideas come from
As far as Lin Fan knows, almost all subsequent cultivation novels were "derived" and "perfected" from that person's novel.
Perhaps the cultivation novel written by that person is not complete, or even very simple, but he did put forward such a concept in a complete way.
How did he come up with that
All on your own?!
Or did you get some records or something like that
Or maybe, his ancestor was an immortal cultivator, and he left some information behind, allowing him to combine his own illusions and write the first real immortal cultivation novel? !
…
For Lin Fan at this moment, what he was thinking was just a fantasy. He himself couldn't tell how likely it was.
But he just had this idea, he wanted to get to the bottom of it and wanted to meet the other person.
If you meet him and have a chat with him, you will know the answer.
At the same time, if the other party does have information left by immortal cultivators, perhaps they can determine in advance where Kunlun, Tianshan and other places are
"Just go and meet him!"
Lin Fan had an idea. After saying goodbye to Old Chen and Zhou Na, he returned to his residence and sent a message to the Seventh Deputy Minister.
"I want to see someone."
"Who? It can't be that person, right?"
The seventh deputy minister was stunned, and his first reaction was that Lin Fan wanted to meet the most senior one.
"A... novelist."
"Online novel writer."
"ah?!"
The seventh deputy minister was confused: "Why do you want to meet the author of the online novel? Do you want him to write an online novel based on your image?"
"Something like an autobiography?"
"Then I can introduce you to some authors with good writing skills. They are definitely better than the average online novel writers."
"… "
autobiography
Lin Fan's mouth twitched continuously. He just wanted to say, I'm really not that narcissistic...
However, he did not say this in the end. After some explanation, the Seventh Deputy Minister finally understood, and at the same time, his tone became a little strange.
"Actually, we have thought about this question before, so we have met and talked with him before."
"Guess what?"
