Searching for the right path in the crooked scriptures, surprising the saints with pen and ink books - Comment on the counter-routine cultivation narrative of "The Stunning Pen" In the Internet market where there are many articles about cultivating immortality, "The Shocking Holy Pen" is based on the world view of "talent is the most important", jumping out of the traditional cultivation framework of "talent" and "luck", and using the counter-routine setting of "cultivating immortality with krypton gold" to tell a story about the growth of a poor boy who uses the pen as the blade and experience as the way. It is fresh to read, and also contains different thoughts on the "nature of cultivating immortality". The protagonist of the story, Lin An, starts out as the most down-to-earth "sleeper" - no talent, no backing, no luck. He is the lowest-ranking student in the world of immortality. According to the traditional path of cultivating immortals, he would either encounter a chance encounter and obtain a heaven-defying skill, or be accepted by an expert as a disciple. However, the author did not take the ordinary path. After using "strange shame and great humiliation" to force him to a dead end, he chose the most absurd and realistic path: creating his own crooked scriptures and spending money to cultivate immortality. "How Can You Cultivate Immortality Without Money" is a deviant "practice" that can be called a bitter irony of the traditional "hard work to achieve enlightenment" in cultivating immortals - when cultivating immortals, you also need to use money to build the foundation, and when spiritual energy can be exchanged for wealth, the author tears away the illusion of "fairness" in the world of cultivating immortals, and also makes Lin An's struggle more realistic. After all, in real life, the predicament of "it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family" resonates with Lin An's predicament of "cannot become an immortal without money". And this irony does not stop at the surface setting of "krypton gold". When Lin An squandered all his wealth, his Taoist foundation collapsed like a castle in the air, and "Crazy Immortal Killing Shadows" failed to become his destination, the core of the story began to emerge: cultivating immortality never relies on shortcuts, but on "cultivation of the mind." The author uses Lin An's two failures to break the readers' expectations for "anti-routine and refreshing" - kryptonian gold cannot become an immortal, and distorted scriptures cannot prove the Tao. The true foundation of Taoism is hidden in his awakening after experiencing the cold and the warm. The moment he put aside his opportunistic thoughts, spread out his plain paper, used himself as the ink, and his experience as the seal, and wrote "The Jingsheng Pen", he truly completed the transformation from "seeking immortality" to "establishing the Tao". This change has given a soul to the worldview of "talent is the most important": poetry can kill the enemy, and articles can stabilize the country. It never refers to the gorgeousness of rhetoric, but to the flesh and blood, sentiment and original intention carried in the words. Lin An's pen is no longer a tool for making money, but a medium for him to dialogue with the world and reconcile with himself. This setting of "taking literature as the way" also gives a more realistic expression to the "literary spirit" theme of Eastern fantasy. Of course, as a serialized work of only 120,000 words, "The Shocking Pen" still has room for polishing. For example, the image of the supporting characters is a bit thin, and the background of the Holy Court, Barbarian Demons and other forces is insufficient, resulting in the tension of the conflict being slightly weak at times; the setting of "Krypton Gold to Cultivate Immortality" is full of gimmicks in the early stage, but when it turns to "proving the Tao through literature" in the later period, the transition is a little faster. If more Lin An's pull between money and his true heart can be portrayed, the character arc will be fuller. But the flaws are not concealed. The author uses a unique narrative perspective to return the story of immortality to the growth of "human beings" - the real "shock saint" is never to become an omnipotent immortal, but to defend oneself in desperate situations and use the simplest way to find his own way. In a fantasy track full of "refreshing articles", "The Shocking Pen" is like a breath of fresh air. It does not forcefully create refreshing points, but uses an anti-routine opening to tell an old truth about "returning to the original heart". Lin An's story continues, and I hope the author can expand the world view of "talent is the most important" more broadly, so that this "shocking pen" can not only write about the weirdness on the road to immortality, but also draw out the warmth of the human world.
