Liaozhai: Starting from the Mountain God

Is it necessary to give up Shinto to regain the physical body? Probably not necessary. Moreover, the Shinto way is also the right way, not inferior to the Immortal way, so it suddenly becomes a heretical way?

Regarding Shinto, the author has also said that it is a minor way. That's how I recognized it. But, this Shinto and Chinese classical world view of Liaozhai really feel incompatible... I always feel a bit awkward. After thinking about it, I found out where the problem lies: this Shinto actually has no place in the author's classical worldview of cultivating immortals. This has nothing to do with whether you like Shinto or not, and it has nothing to do with whether Shinto is the great path. In our country's immortality writing, no matter which category, there will be such distinctions as: the righteous way, the side sect, and the left way. The righteous path is the orthodox path of cultivating immortality. Generally speaking, the righteous despise the side sects, while the leftists are often looked down upon by the righteous. But, even the most despised leftist methods still have the possibility of achieving immortality... If the right way has a chance of achieving immortality is 70, the side method is 50, and the left way will immediately reduce it by 30, down to 20... But there is still a chance after all. However, the Shinto described by the author does not have the possibility of immortality at all. This can no longer be said to be a small way, it is a dead end and a dead end. No matter which version of the immortality literature, immortality and attainment are often together... The Shinto in the author's writing is very strange. In fact: First of all, whether to follow the Shinto is not entirely decided by the person concerned: a great good person does good deeds throughout his life, and his life is perfect. When he died, people built a temple for him... The three pillars were a little more incense, and the old man found out with a confused look that he had become a god... Whether he wanted to or not... The author has explained before: After the end of the Shinto way, it is better to be reincarnated... But, in our ancient mythology, there is a high chance that good people can be reincarnated into good families... It is even possible to become immortals in heaven. So, does Shinto force people to live here for hundreds of years just to give them a better reward through reincarnation? Does that make any sense? Moreover, if there is any major natural or man-made disaster during the period of becoming a god, the land of the mountain god is usually very limited in what it can do... At this time, it is very likely to arouse people's dissatisfaction... Then there is the poison of incense... And if you want to give up the god's position, it will cause serious damage to the soul (refer to when the protagonist abandons the god's position) and even affect reincarnation. It's true: once a god loses his incense, he will fall from his position and can only be reincarnated or become a lonely ghost... Even the protagonist cannot change this: (You must know that the protagonist's golden finger is still very strong, it is almost an all-purpose wish-making technique) If the protagonist could change, six hundred years of time and the almost omnipotent wish-making golden finger would have changed long ago, and there would be no need to find a way to restore the body and turn to immortality. And the other gods don't have the golden finger of the protagonist, let alone solve the problem. How many of the ordinary mountain gods and landmen can have stable incense for more than five hundred years? In ancient times, the vast majority of villages were unable to withstand natural and man-made disasters... And the capabilities of the Mountain God Land were limited, and how many villages could there be within their jurisdiction? This means that most mountain gods and earthlings can be thankful to God if they can live for five hundred years... But if something unexpected happens, haha! If someone is afraid of death, why would he turn to Shintoism? Immortality! But Shinto cannot grant him immortality... And the protagonist has the universal wish-making technique and it will take nearly six hundred years before he can get a chance to restore his physical body... What if other gods don't have such a golden finger? Not to mention that even the protagonist has to get a physical body and then turn to the path of immortality... This further illustrates that following the path of the gods is a dead end... Hopeless. In other words: Shinto is not as good as the Left Tao and others, it is a dead end, a dead end. The way of God is not called a small way, it cannot be called a way at all. Suppose there is a powerful disciple who is talented and willing to do good. But one day, something unexpected happened and he died. What would the mighty do? Or resurrection. If it is impossible to resurrect, then let the disciple reincarnate and cultivate again. Anyway, for the great master, reincarnation is very simple. At worst, it will take more than ten years for the disciple to reincarnate and return to renew his relationship. Then at this time, those who had been helped by the disciple built a temple for the disciple. The three pillars were incense a little higher, and the disciple became a god... Either the incense was cut off hundreds of years later, and the disciple was reincarnated and rebuilt; And in the world of cultivating immortals for thousands of years, how many cultivators have experienced such an experience? What would they think? The biggest possibility is that in order to prevent their disciples from being tricked into Shinto again, these powerful men directly join forces to change the world and eliminate the law of Shinto from the entire world...; Or strictly prohibit intelligent beings from building temples and offering sacrifices. So: The world constructed by the author does not have the cornerstone for the existence of the Shinto system created by the author... Shinto should not exist in this world, it is the mistake of this world... But the author has clearly added this Shinto into this world... This also means that there is a contradiction in the underlying logic of the worldview created by the author... That is, a logical bug. This is different from the loopholes in character... Problems with character creation can be made up for through character experience and growth. Problems with the fundamental logic of the worldview mean that everything built on top of it will have problems... It is difficult to modify... It is a pity that the author's writing style and character creation are good, and I also like Liaozhaiwen... But this happens to be this There is a problem with the underlying logic... I don't know how the author can get it back... To be honest, I can't think of any way to solve this problem... I have always voted for recommendations and monthly votes before... But I am not very optimistic about this now... However, I will continue to vote for recommendations. I hope the author can find a way to solve this bug... Otherwise, this book will be really difficult... It's a pity.

To be honest, judging from the current setting of this Shinto, is there any difference from the soul-binding magic? You can't help yourself to become a god. When your godhead dissipates, your soul will be scattered. There are no benefits at all, and the disadvantages are obvious. Is this considered Shinto?

Liaozhaiwen is very niche, come on, do your best

When I see Liaozhai, I think of Qingqiu. Please assign a role to the cute fox, thank you
