The Little God Who Sells the Protagonist

Chapter 279 Ghosts Born from the Heart
Are ghosts classified?
This question may be a question with a clear answer for most supernatural lovers.

Ghosts are of course classified. Many supernatural lovers can name many different types of ghosts casually, such as hanged ghosts, starving ghosts, water ghosts, fierce ghosts, etc...

But in fact, in the ancient culture of my Great Heavenly Dynasty, there is really no question of classification for ghosts.Because in the ancient Chinese culture, the status and symbolic meaning of ghosts are completely different from those in modern times.

According to Taoist theory, "Ghosts return to them. People live in the world and send them away."

The ancient ancestors believed that everything in the world comes from the "Tao", and will eventually return to the original source, and return to the "Tao", just like you were never born, neither born nor destroyed.

"It lives and it lives, and it dies and it dies."

In other words, there is no difference between life and death, just the front and back of the same coin, two forms of the same thing.Even, because death is a process of "returning" to the original source, it is more worth looking forward to. After death, one really returns home.

Therefore, when Zhuangzi's wife died, Zhuangzi "drumped the basin and sang" to celebrate.

In addition to Taoism, there should be Confucianism and Mohism who have systematically discussed "ghosts".Compared with Taoism, these two schools are more pragmatic, and their understanding of "ghosts" will also be related to reality.

Although the ghosts in these two theories are not as high in the clouds and elusive as the ghosts of Taoism, they are also immortal and have a detached status.

For example, in Mozi's view, ghosts can bless people, and they can also bring disasters to people. They are absolutely fair and wise teachers.Therefore, when the king governs, he must do what the ghosts want (just and selfless) and avoid what the ghosts hate (evil and filthy).

It can be seen that the so-called "ghost" here is basically not much different from the status of God.

In addition, in many ancient books such as "The Ming of Ghosts and Gods", "Yanzi", "Mandarin", "Chu Ci", "Shan Hai Jing" and many other ancient books, it can be seen that the ancient ancestors were either close to "ghosts", or attitude of awe.

It was not until Buddhism was spread to the Celestial Dynasty that everything changed fundamentally.

Buddhists divide ghosts into 36 types.But in fact, they are all the same thing, that is, poor souls who are punished for their own sins in hell. The so-called classification is nothing more than the difference between specific sins and specific punishments.

At this time, the ghost was gradually pulled down from the altar, and began to turn into a sad, ugly, and terrifying thing.

Only by constantly reincarnating and purifying one's soul can one draw a clear line from these horrible and sad ghosts and enter the world of bliss.That's why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has the great wish of "the hell is not empty, and I swear not to become a Buddha".

And the ghosts in the modern supernatural plane are different from the ghosts in ancient times and the ghosts in the traditional sense influenced by Buddhist concepts.

The so-called ghosts in the modern supernatural plane can't have the grand spirit of the same origin as the heaven and the earth, nor have the fairy spirit, and they are not even an important part of the whole practice system like traditional ghosts.

The ghosts in the modern supernatural plane are some kind of special creatures that have been separated.In essence, it is just the concrete appearance of desire, desire and hostility in modern society.

There are female ghosts who die for love and are unwilling to do so; unjust ghosts who are framed by others and take revenge; vicious ghosts who are outstanding people in life but continue to make trouble after death; and there are all kinds of hungry ghosts, lustful ghosts, evil ghosts, and scapegoat ghosts... …Etc., etc.

These ghosts of all kinds also represent all kinds of desires, desires and hostility. They don't pay attention to the so-called karma and reincarnation, and have nothing to do with social responsibility or even the avenue of heaven and earth. The only meaning of their existence is to vent with stimulation.

In addition, in the modern age where everything can be entertained, ghosts are also entertained.The specific manifestation is the modern supernatural plane, which has developed many powerful and interesting skills for ghosts.Such as illusion, ghost possession, ghost hitting the wall, killing with thoughts, killing in dreams and so on.

There are also free climbing and hanging skills that ignore gravity, instant flash skills that can suddenly appear anywhere, capture skills that instantly drag people into a different dimension, super possession skills that can possess any medium, hair Killing skills, instant face-changing skills, toilet shuttle skills...

The emergence of these exclusive ghost skills also means that ghosts have begun to become an entertainment element that can be mass-produced.

Different concepts of ghosts actually represent different concepts of death.

From the frank and unrestrained view of death in ancient times, to the solemn and serious view of death, to the passive view of death, to the modern view of death with wanton entertainment combined with despair and violence.

The constant changes in the concept of death can also be seen in the specific changes in social values.

Regarding these viewpoints, Wang Yichen did some research when he was in college, and he also has his own ideas.But he never thought that one day, because of these thoughts, he would escape a catastrophe!
Wang Yichen didn't expect that he would be knocked down by sudden sleepiness while waiting for the young people who wanted to die.What was even more unexpected was that he just took a nap and entered a world of nightmares!

When he was in the main game space, Wang Yichen once saw a description of the nightmare world on the forum. Before entering the supernatural plane this time, Mo Yan also specially collected some relevant information about the supernatural plane for him, including the nightmare international.

The Nightmare World is a world created by a special kind of ghost—the Nightmare Ghost, a super ghost that is relatively rare even in the modern supernatural plane.There is another name for this kind of ghost, which is the heart demon.

It is said that nightmare ghosts can transform into tens of thousands and become countless "nightmare".Nightmare will look for any human who dares to get close to it, and merge with them to create a nightmare world together.

In the nightmare world, the combined human beings will be forced to face their own inner demons. How powerful the inner demons are depends on your usual views on ghosts, that is, your view of death, which to some extent also represents you. desire, desire and anger.

Ghosts are born from the heart.The stronger and more violent the ghost in your heart, the stronger and more ferocious your inner demon will be.The more peaceful and harmless your ghost is, the weaker your demon will be.

Wang Yichen didn't know that there was already a girl who was torn to pieces by his own demons in the Youth League of Death.He was just rejoicing at the moment that his demons were not very strong.

The inner demon that appeared in Wang Yichen's nightmare world has an average body shape and aura, which is the main reason why Wang Yichen judges that the inner demon is not strong.But when Wang Yichen saw clearly the appearance of this demon, he couldn't help being stunned.
