Cultivation Begins with Making Fire by Rubbing Sticks

To be honest, when I came in with this cover and title, I thought it was the kind of book I was looking forward to about the origins of mankind + the origins of immortality. It's not the kind of prehistoric style where you'll die twice, but a semi-realistic, with a bit of soft science fiction feel about cultivating immortality. But unfortunately not. But this one is really surprisingly good-looking. Nowadays, I rarely read novels about cultivating immortals, because the most poisonous point in them for me is why I want to cultivate to immortality and what I want to achieve. When reading other novels, I can tolerate the protagonist's shortcomings such as bitterness, hatred, greed, indecisiveness, etc., But I can't tolerate the shortcomings of the novel about cultivating immortals. When I see the protagonists in the novels about cultivating immortals who are either businesslike or pretending to be sophisticated, I always feel like I'm a monkey. Similarly, when I see the protagonists who have achieved immortality in order to seek immortality or to be different from others, I will also feel a sense of dissonance. I hope this book will keep me going until the end.

It is a rare article about cultivating immortality that does not deliberately pretend to be bad. Unlike some books, every time it is pretended to be bad, others will definitely see it, and then others will vigorously tout it and publicize it everywhere. Practitioners each have their own way, not deliberately, not forcefully, with a natural attitude, responding to things as they come, and leaving no trace after they happen. Those who are not destined will not be able to enter, but those who are destined can easily do so. Build your own house and bake bricks, chop bamboo and smoke meat, dig ponds and grow lotus roots, not because they look good, nor because they have good feng shui, but because you want to eat them. Don't deliberately destroy them, but use them appropriately when necessary. The details are very good. The villagers at the foot of the mountain are not complacent because they have an extra immortal. The bearers know that they want to support their families and do not talk back. The noodle stall owner will continue to improve the recipe. The people who carry the burden also know that they are diligent every day. The waiter is determined to travel around the world. After a hundred years of waiting for their parents, the Taoist monks gave up their cultivation, sacrificed their immortality, and were willing to be mortals for the sake of their great aspirations. The villagers knew that they were satisfied and did not insist on having both. They also knew that a private school was better than building a bridge. There were all kinds of things in the world, and the world was full of people. Nothing is more confusing than this, which is most confusing to people's hearts and charming to the eyes.

Tell me why I love reading this book There are dozens of serialized books on my starting bookshelf. These are all novels that I think are well written. However, there are only five books, including this one, that I click on and read every day. It is not convenient for me to name the titles. I am an old bookworm. I started reading physical online novels in 2005. I started reading e-books on MP4 in 2008. I started hanging out on pirated websites and Tieba forums in 2011. I only officially joined in 2014 when I got my own smartphone. I became a legitimate victim, and I successively repaid for some works that I still remember and could find. The thing that hurts me the most is that *** Starting from Scratch, I didn't even finish it at first. After I ordered it for a while, I wanted to finish it, but it was gone? For me, who has been reading online novels for more than ten years, standardization of plots, clichés, and labeling of characters are the biggest poisonous points. However, these three points are now inseparable and unwilling to be abandoned by many online writers. I can understand this, but I will never agree with it. I would never look at those "cloze" industrialized works. The rich imagination is what attracts me most about online novels. Unfortunately, it is difficult for others to accept new things, so most of my favorite books have poor results. The reason why I thought of posting such a post is because a friend of mine said in a previous post, "Longevity and strength are the most fundamental things for immortals. If you have denied both of these, why are you reading novels about cultivating immortals?" In my opinion, that friend is a typical example of users whose minds have been occupied by routine novels about cultivating immortals. For people whose minds are occupied, the reason for abandoning a novel is mostly "How can it be written like this! It's so poisonous! Abandon it!" And for me, the reason for abandoning a novel is "The next thing should be like this and that... Sure enough, it's boring, so I abandoned it." In my opinion, those so-called "immortality novels" in the past were all in the name of "immortality" to clarify the path of people's ascent. As the plot progresses, the realm improves, and readers who suffer from class consolidation can find some solace in it. Its core is not fundamentally different from other upgraded novels. However, due to my cultural background, I always have a vague imagination and longing for "immortals", so I am particularly strict with novels about immortality. I can accept mortals cultivating immortals, but I cannot tolerate ordinary people calling them immortals. What I particularly appreciate about the setting of this novel is that there is no clear hierarchy, and the magical passages are all by-products of cultivating immortals. Abandoning routines is a very big challenge for online novel authors. It is undoubtedly difficult to rely on fresh imagination every day to ensure updates. Therefore, even if the author writes this book for a few days, as long as it does not fall into the frequency of menstruation, I will not complain, but I hope his imagination can sustain him to finish writing.

The only novels with such a fairy spirit in recent times are Ke Qiyuan and this one.

Reading this book can relax your mind{"NickName":"Lanzhi Yuhao","UserId":189409247} From "The Romance of the Gods" to "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortals" to the various commercial novels in the fairy tale and fantasy genre, there are really very few books that truly convey the Taoist cultivation thought of "Tao follows nature". In the past, there were stories about gods and ghosts - "Wandering of the Gods", "Ghost Stocks" and "Human Desire", which also mainly wrote about the spiritual philosophy of writers. However, Xu Gongzi Shengzhi's idea of ​​karma, reincarnation, good and evil will be rewarded is a bit heavy, and there are too many private goods. There is another book called "Hermitage in the South Mountains" that was discontinued in February this year, which is very similar to this book. It also has a key plot of living in seclusion in the mountains and practicing cultivation. However, the protagonist of "Hermitage" lives in the mountains more as a way of escaping from the world than as a spiritual practice. I would rather stay in the mountains and observe the four seasons than pursue fame and fortune in the secular world. From the beginning to the present of this book, the protagonist has been practicing Taoism and cultivating his character naturally. His travels in the mountains were due to inspiration, and his experiences in worldly affairs were mostly due to chance encounters. The writing style describing the various characters and plots is also very clean. Except for the shortcoming of the title "Cultivation of Immortality Begins by Drilling Wood to Make Fire" which is too straightforward and lacks connotation, this is one of the rare books that is well written! In this modern society with highly developed commerce, there are still many people who like purity, and many even choose to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. I can't enter Zhongnan Mountain, but it's very comfortable to relax by reading such pure and spiritual novels!

After reading a little bit, I always felt that it was not a Taoism. The protagonist seemed not to care about anything. The so-called Taoism is natural. Many novels say the same thing. But I want to say: Tao, compete with yourself for life and compete with others. Only if you get the love of heaven and earth, you may be able to transcend the world. Then whatever you do is natural, and whatever you do follows your heart. So what are those people who risk their lives for the sake of Tao? So I have always felt that Tao is the law of nature with no end in sight. Change is killing. Because the universe is too small, it can accommodate many Taoists, but not many Taoists 🙂

This book looks like the natural feeling of Taoism. Everything arises due to fate and ends due to fate. Practitioners follow their own Tao, enter the world, behave and do things, and everything is caused by fate. The word "Yuan" is very strange. It is really rare to be able to write everything about the origin and origin of the word smoothly and comfortably. And "Yuan" is the main carrier of the wonderful group of "immortals" who, under the influence of the "Tao" of Chinese classical culture, guides the way forward for spiritual practice. The manifestations of this carrier are often "inspiration" and "whim". It can be said that the author really combines these aspects very well and writes the life state and behavior that practitioners should have in my ideal realm. In my opinion, this is "seeking "Tao" - "cultivation" - "immortality" The expression is appropriate, Tao follows nature, and it should really follow Tao, which is wonderful.

I have been collecting this book for a while and haven't read it yet, but I suddenly found it in the past few days, and I fell in love with it as soon as I took a look. The full text is an ordinary article about farming and cultivating immortals. It makes people feel a sense of tranquility and peace in their hearts after reading it. I personally feel very good about it. I hope the author can continue writing like this and support you!

Love it, love it, I feel comfortable physically and mentally after watching it 😊😊😊

Want to make a happy fairy! But being born in the world is not born in the world, and joining the world is not joining the world. You don't want to show your holiness in front of others! He also prefers to show off in front of many people. Don't want to fall into a great calamity! And he just tried his best to get closer to the protagonist of the catastrophe. Don't want to be implicated in karma! Again, paradoxical. Strange and strange
