The Tome of Calamity

I didn't expect that I would see so many disgusting comments when I re-opened this chapter. I just want to say one thing: "Fortunately, the young cuttlefish didn't meet you back then." 🙂

I actually found a paper on the Internet about the catalog of misfortunes^_^

There are Dharma Immortal Paths, Immortal Golden Body and a series of books on martial arts and immortality (Yuanmang Great World), which are comparable to Infinite Flow.

When I was reading the post on the eighth page of the book, some people said that Yu Ruoshui had taken elixirs when she was recuperating, which foreshadowed her death. Others said that she died because she cared too much about other people's opinions. I don't agree with these views, so here's my opinion. Regarding the theory of elixirs, the book does not say that they cannot be eaten, but that they must be controlled. The expression means that elixirs should be taken in moderation and not relied on. For example, it is like vitamin pills. Taking them properly can be beneficial to health, but it is ridiculous to rely on vitamin pills to maintain health without eating well. In the article, Yu Ruoshui's use of pills is definitely considered moderate, so there is no problem in this regard. As for the theory of mind, if Yu Ruoshui really cared about other people's opinions, he would not have risked his reputation by pretending to alienate Shi Xuan, nor would he have resisted the temptation of praise such as "genius" and "hard work" to control the use of pills. In fact, Yu Ruoshui is actually better than Shi Xuan in terms of character performance, and the protagonist once deviated from the path due to the praise of others. But she insisted on the path of sword cultivation from beginning to end. Her last experience with only her natal flying sword showed that even if she would die if she followed this path, she would not give up. This is the embodiment of the determined path. In addition, it can be seen that she would rather die than become a middle-grade golden elixir, and she does not want to give up seeking Taoism. Isn't this a firm Taoist heart? In addition, the article also said that if there were not so many demons, she would become a golden elixir, which also proves that her Taoist heart is fine. So what did she die of? Quite simply, she simply died of bad luck. Her death is used to show the cruelty of seeking truth - even if your path is correct and you are determined to move forward on this path, you may not succeed. And this cruelty highlights the value of those who persist in seeking the truth. Yu Ruoshui's death was heroic but regrettable. But it also makes the difficulty of seeking the Tao seem so profound. And this is one of the reasons why I like this work.

The author read the book Destiny while writing it, and it was because of this book that I started reading novels (I used to read pirated copies). You inadvertently read the book reviews. Many people said that this book is brainless. It is undeniable that before Shi Xuan achieved the Golden Elixir, the author Wen Ai was still very immature and still used the traditional flow of killing monsters and upgrading. The real improvement of the worldview and the fullness of the characters begin with the achievement of the Golden Elixir. The worldview at this time is fundamentally different from other fairy tale novels. What I think are the highlights of the Doom novel: 1. Focus on the key points of cultivation. Cultivation cultivates the mind. Only when you reach the state of mind can you take a step further. Even if your father is a Taoist ancestor, he still has to practice step by step. Unlike 90% of fairy novels, cultivation is based on resources. The so-called state of mind is just a few words, "I can't help it." Immortal cultivation has become a popular commodity and can be mass-produced. The cultivation of the mind of destroying luck is very clear. Once you realize it, you have to cover it up and you can only rely on yourself. 2. The origin and needs of the sect. Many sects in immortality novels don't know what to say. They are purely a place where individuals cannibalize people, and there is no pressure to betray them. No one in Destiny knows how far he can reach in cultivation, so he established a sect so that he can cope with the disaster. Someone can help him and rescue him from reincarnation. Starting over is his only way out. The relationship between a sect and its disciples is one of mutual benefit and reciprocity, where I help you and you help me. This is a healthy sect system. 3. Disaster system. In the practice of destruction, there are four tribulations of the soul, five declines of heaven and man, the tribulation of enlightenment, the struggle of the great ways, etc. It can be said that one step is a calamity. If you fail, you will live, if you fail, you will die. It is this that reflects the difficulty of practice and the value of enlightenment. Unlike many cultivation novels, as long as there are enough resources and a good background, anyone can practice cultivation. They have become something on the streets. There is no difference between them and our real world. They just look at cultivators from the eyes of ordinary people and think that they are the same as us.

In search of immortals in China, I asked Taoist Master Shi.

It looks good in the early and middle stages, but in the final stage there are a bunch of immortal people who feel that they have lived too long and find all kinds of excuses to go out, which is very boring. The whole book talks about the nature of the mind, but it turns out that there are a group of immortal golden immortal Taoist ancestors who have lived for millions and billions of years. In addition to practicing, they are all kinds of scheming people. Don't you get tired of scheming? Why don't you do something that makes you happy and meaningful? Each one of them has a P xinxing. Let's talk about the so-called "xinxing", which refers to being able to count millions or billions of years without feeling tired. This is called "xinxing". No wonder not many people can cultivate it. This kind of "mind nature" is really unique among billions, billions, trillions, trillions, trillions, trillions.

The first time I read it was probably 16 years ago. After finishing Arcana, I came back to read this one. Both books had been finished for a long time when I read them. In short, these two books are very pure. The protagonist concentrates on walking his own path. He doesn't say he is asking questions and flirts with others. He says he is cultivating immortality and acts randomly... It makes people wonder what kind of immortality he is cultivating and what path he is seeking. "Destruction of Luck" will make people feel: This is how cultivation should be, and this is how it should be. There is nothing important except seeking the truth. And what impresses me the most is: In terms of character creation, the villain will not be made into a weirdo, mentally retarded or a treacherous villain in order to elevate the protagonist, nor will the female character be made a vassal to highlight the protagonist's masculine charm. Therefore, the villain's actions are all logical, but they are just in a different position from the protagonist. The female characters also have their own charms, and any one of them can create a "big heroine" plot. (On the contrary, it is much better than some articles that claim that the "big heroine" actually relies on men, laugh.) In terms of shaping the path, the protagonist's path is not promoted as the best and supreme in the world, nor is it restrained by others and promoted by oneself, nor is it restrained by the Buddha and promoted by the Tao. In fact, this is the real "road confidence". The Tao runs parallel and does not conflict with each other... The reason why this world is so big. This is rare. I really like this kind of immortality writing, but unfortunately it seems difficult to find similar ones. I had to watch it over and over again

Liushu passed by, and in my mind was the only god who cultivated immortal literature. On the contrary, this author's other books were a bit difficult to read 🤫
