The direct connection between Huang Yi's novels is mainly: the clues between the Holy Gate (Demon Sect) and Jingzhai.

To put it higher, it is: the experience of the conceptual struggle between marginal society and mainstream society.

In a more popular way, Jingzhai is the ruling party, and the Demon Sect is the opposition alliance. The chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty was like the inevitable chaos that occurred in the current election. Everyone fought to rule and kept drawing votes at various powerful factions. The specific way was nothing more than: speeches and slaughter and set fire.

Both the Demon Sect and Jingzhai have a supreme secret book: "The Demon Sect" and "Cihang Sword Book". Jingzhai pays more attention to the pure and inaction practice of being born in the world. However, the Demon Sect pays more attention to the worldly ideal of realizing one's own ideal.

Demonic Gate

In Huang Yi's novel series, the Magic Sect is an extremely special existence. This mysterious sect has a long history and has emerged in many talents.

The so-called Demon Sect, which calls itself the "saint Sect", is an alliance composed of some schools that have not been wiped out. Originally, they were rejected by the Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and were suppressed by orthodox people, and even arrested by the government. In order to survive and to allow their thoughts to be passed on, they had to unite and survive by various means. However, as the spread of Confucianism became more and more widespread and the orthodox status became more and more stable, the ideas of the Holy Sect became more and more difficult to accept, and in the eyes of the world, they became more and more distorted. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people who do not understand the truth, they were basically equal to bad people. They were just frustrated people who had ambitions and had an injustice. In fact, most of their thoughts were born to save the people from water and fire.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when heroes were competing for the victory, there was no supreme king on the earth (the Emperor Zhou ignored it). The controversy among hundreds of schools means that the promoters of each concept can equally promote their thoughts to the standing kings. Without a center, it means no edge; without a person being raised as an eternal correct god, naturally no one will be trampled into a demon; therefore, in the era of "The Record of the Qin Dynasty", there was no title of "Demon Sect". Only other schools such as the Mohist school were included.

Take the Mo family as an example. Its founder Mo Zhai practiced hard, put forward the idea of ​​"either love but not attack", opposed extravagance and waste, and advocated the development of production. He founded the Mozhe Guild and served as the first master, in order to have a strength to stop the unjust war in the world outside of the country. Unfortunately, his successors were all deceased soldiers who lacked brains (except Xiang Shaolong, after all, they were traveling back time), not afraid of losing their lives, but they were unable to change the times. Among the Holy Sect, disciples of the Mo family were the least afraid of death, the most fierce counterattack methods, and the most hated. The reason why the Holy Sect was called the Demon Sect was, on the one hand, the so-called righteous people called the Demon Sect, and on the other hand, it was because the word "Moji" was spread through rumors.

Qin unified the world (with the help of Xiang Shaolong?), the Han Dynasty followed Qin, and the monarchy began to expand and enveloped everything, and the official ideology also became the only loud voice in the world: abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone!

Therefore, some classes that were once active, gradually became dim and aphasia due to their different value orientations and official ideology and were even contrary to the truth. So in order to preserve their ideas, some of the knowledgeable people formed a common alliance with the six volumes of "The Demon Strategy" as the highest guiding purpose. They were contrary to the mainstream and could not enter the public's vision, so that the public had various speculations and legends about them due to their inability to understand, and their image was further explored in these ways.

Testing and distortion in legends are almost the common situation of all marginalized groups. The suppression of marginal groups by mainstream discourse is also called "defending the way and subduing the demons" in the orthodox way. Similarly, there are always groups that want to enter mainstream discourse to express their positions by suppressing the marginal groups, thus gaining the status of mainstream discourse as a supplementary wing, such as Buddha, Tao, and Jingzhai, which is dependent on the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and Xu Ziling's so-called "thousand-year battle between Taoism and demons" is probably from this.

This alliance gradually formed two factions and six paths. At first, there was a leader who led the Demon Sect, but it was officially split in the Sui Dynasty.

1.

Yin Gui School: Yin can be regarded as a symbol of women. Gui means a woman's month. According to the "Records of the Grand Historian", "Gui's words are judged, and all things can be judged, so it is called Gui." Therefore, it can be seen that the two words Yin Gui actually contain the meaning of women controlling the world.

The core of "The Strategy of the Heavenly Demon" has always been in the hands of the Yingui Sect. This sect has an obvious principle: "Men control the world, and women control the world by mastering men.

In "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the Yingui Sect is the largest sect of the Demon Sect. When it was passed on to "Broken Void", it is still the largest sect. In "The Rain and the Clouds", Chi Zunxin and Han Bai are once again shocked.

Main representatives: Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan, Demon Hidden Border, Fantasy, Bai Qing'er, Shan Yuru, Danmei, Wen Caiting, Lin Shihong, Blood Hand Li Gong, Bi Ye Fright, Scarlet Sun Flame, Fu Yaohong, Magic Shadow Deng Jie, Ghost Knife Li Kaisu, Xie Chong, Ling Zhiyuan, Kangzhen, Bai Guangran, Thieves Dog Chi Zunxin, Man Wolf Bu Di, Han Bai, Concubine Chen, Bai Fanghua, White Hair Willow Shake Branch, Red Beauty Flower Interpretation

In fact, we can boldly guess: Wu Zetian, the famous in history, is probably also the descendant of this sect.

2.

Huajian School: The earliest name that appeared in the Demon Sect branch in Huang Yi's book was the leader of the Demon Sect at the end of the Bianhuang Legend: Huajian School Mu Qingliu. Later generations, Hou Xibai, a chess, calligraphy and painting, was knowledgeable in all kinds of miscellaneous studies, fully demonstrating the social identity of the Huajian School - a diverse artist. Their origin and their relative integration into mainstream society made them relatively maintain a natural sense of superiority to their fellow Demon Sects. And the person with the strongest sense of superiority is undoubtedly the genius Shi Zhixuan.

Suddenly I thought of the Free Law School in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", isn't it the same in the eyes of the Shaolin Sect in the martial arts world?

Main representatives: Mu Qingliu, Evil King Shi Zhixuan, affectionate young master Hou Xibai, Huaxian Nian Liandan

3.

Xie Jidao: Logically speaking, this sect should be the core of the Demon Sect. However, they have never mastered the Demon Sect's program "The Strategy of the Heavenly Demons", but they have the more terrifying "The Great Method of the Dao Heart Planting Demons". The first generation of evil emperor Xie Bo did not tolerate the orthodox society that respected Confucianism at that time and sent love to the medical path. He discovered that the "Evil Emperor's Relic" actually ran to the ancient tomb of Qi. Could it be the "Golden-Touching Captain"? It seems that Hu Bayi of the "Ghost Blows the Light" also obtained the true teaching of the Evil Sect. Later secret man Xiang Yutian and the demon master Pang Ban finally carried out the Evil Sect to the "Xi".

The most curious thing is Xiang Yutian, the top master in the second half of the book in Bianhuang - how old did he live? In the Tang Dynasty, the fourth son of the Holy Sect was actually his disciple! From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, my god, have you all become a scattered immortal? The stone monsters of Zhuhou stood aside, and this immortal is the n0.1 of the Demon Sect.

Note: The evil Taoist is divided into four branches from the Yutian: the retrograde school (Youniao Scroll), the imperial valley (Ding Jiuzhong), the naked handed teaching (Zhou Laosan), and the charming sect (Jinhuanzhen). During the Yuan Dynasty, he lived in seclusion to Mongolia, and then passed on to the Demon Master Palace, and then passed on to the people.

Main representatives: the first generation of evil emperor Xie Bo, the twelfth generation of evil emperor Xiang Yutian, Younnian Scroll, Ding Jiuchong, Zhou Laosan, Jinhuanzhen, Demon Sect Meng Chixing, Demon Master Pang Ban, Lengyan, Little Demon Master Fang Yeyu, Black and White Two servants, Juetian, Destroy the Earth, Golden Evil, Wood Evil, Water Soft Crystal, Fire Evil, Earth Evil, Sun Evil, Moon Evil, Star Evil

4.

Butian Pavilion: Assassin. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, assassin was a non-mainstream marginal profession. The rules they pursued were different or even completely opposite to those of normal people. They must always be prepared to abandon their families and betray their relatives and friends. Therefore, even if they are in the Demon Sect, they have not many companions.

Main representative: Shadow Assassin Yang Xuyan

5.

Tianlian Sect: Anlong is the leader of the chamber of commerce. You might as well think that the main component of Tianlian Sect is: the merchants who were excluded by mainstream society in the era of optimizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. It is bold to speculate that in "Legend of Border and Wilderness", Qiao Zong, the second-ranked Demon Sect master of Nie Tianhuan, who was the second-ranked Demon Sect in "The Legend of the Border and Wilderness", should also belong to the Tianlian Sect.

Main representatives: Qiao Zong, Pang Jia Anlong, Fu Gongyou.

6.

True Taoism: This sect should be the demonization of Taoism. This sect is divided into two schools: Taoism, the true teachings of Taoism and Laojun Guan, but both schools reflect the characteristics of primitive Taoism, namely the importance and study of sexual intercourse between men and women. Therefore, it is unwilling to be allowed by the mainstream Taoist scholar Ning Daoqi.

The main representatives: Ziwu Sword Zuoyouxian, Yunyu and Yu dual cultivation of Pi Shuanxuan, Demonic Dao Bichen Rong Fengxiang, Ke Feng Taoist, Rong Jiaojiao

7.

Mieqing Dao: Since Xi should be a person who ascended to heaven as soon as he appeared, he doesn’t know much about this information. However, based on the preliminary analysis of these people’s words and deeds, this Dao is actually a bit like a masculine "Yin Gui Sect", and naturally it is not in the eyes of the righteous Dharma.

Main representatives: Tianjun Xi Ying, Eunuch Wei, Xu Liuzong, Yin Zuwen

8.

The Demonic Demon: Zhao Deyan is too mysterious, so he doesn’t know much about the information about this.

Main representatives: Demonic coach Zhao Deyan, Xiangyushan

Note: Regarding the three schools of Yin Gui, Huajian, and Xieji, the definitions in the early creations of "Broken Void" and "Closing Rain and Flipping Clouds" are very different from those in the late creations of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Border and Wild".

Jingzhai

"Cihang Jingzhai" and "Jingmin Zen" are representative sects that have protected the Central Plains civilization since ancient times. In addition to supporting justice and guiding the world, these two sects also focus on the practice of glimpsing the way of heaven.

The founder of Jingzhai was Dini in the Han Dynasty. She and the monk from Jingnian Zen Temple wrote the "Cihang Sword Book" together, and preserved the Sword Book in Jingzhai, making the Sword Book a supreme martial arts book of Jingzhai. If you learn the "Sword Heart Pure" in the "Sword Book" you can become a peerless swordsman, and you have the opportunity to enter the "Death Pass" and reach the state of marching into the heavenly way. The only ones who have reached this state have ever reached this state. Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao both entered the world with the flawed "Sword Heart Pure" and practiced in a worldly way. They all used the power of others to gain a glimpse of the extreme realm of Great Perfection. The first one used Xu Ziling, and the latter helped Han Bai.

It is proposed that Jingzhai’s “Death Pass” should be equated with the “Dao Heart Demonic Method” of the Demon Sect. Both are the laws of practice in the way of heaven and man. One is good and the other is evil, and the same path is the same. However, the great success of the demon seed can lead to the “breaking of the void”, while the breaking of the “Death Pass” means the physical body becomes a Buddha and is destroyed. In fact, the gap between the two is: the Great Perfection of the Death Pass is “birth”, and the Great Perfection of the Death Pass is “death”. The former can fully enjoy the joy of “birth” of the “Dath Pass”. Although the latter also reaches the Great Perfection of the “Dath Pass”, there is no trace of “death”. This is also the reason why no one in Jingzhai has been able to “break the void” in thousands of years. Purely from the perspective of “Buddha” and “Tao”, “sitting and transformation” and “ascension” are the same perfect states of the same level, but in Huang

"Breaking the Void" in Yi Book is actually the highest level of martial arts. "Death Pass" is defined as the extreme realm of "the way of heaven and man" in the book. It provides practitioners with opportunities and channels to gain insight into "breath of broken void". The final conclusion of "Death Pass" is more appropriate in four words: "I will not realize without death". But in the case of "only death to be enlightened", it is obviously inferior to the "demon seed". This is a comparison of "life" and "death". Only with "life" can you step into the extreme realm of "breaking the void" determined by Huang Yi, and if you have "death", you will definitely lose this opportunity. Huang Yi obviously focuses on Taoist metaphysics, so "asce" is determined to be the highest level of martial arts. In Huang Yi's martial arts world, pursuing "breath of broken void" has become the lifelong wish and ultimate dream of every warrior.

Jingzhai is actually a product of the combination of two major religions in China. It is a way of moving towards the way of heaven in its own way. It should be the most promising method of Chinese religion. Its strength is definitely not as good as the foundation of the sacred sect when it was full of prosperity. However, they have great support, that is, the religion that was deeply fooled in the feudal era. However, they do not abide by religious precepts at all, and use "beauty schemes" and "discrimination schemes" and other means that monks cannot do to achieve their interests.

Main representatives: Bi Xiuxin, Fan Qinghui, Shi Feixuan, Yan Jing'an, Jin Bingyun, Qin Mengyao

The most obvious manifestation: Jingzhai's outstanding disciples from "The Rain and Clouds" to "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the successors sent to the world to hang out are all peerless beauties, and these people do not shave their heads and become nuns, and their motives are quite ambiguous. When these beauties walk in the world, they always deliberately approach powerful people, and let these people bow down to the pomegranate skirt, and these people become grassroots cadres of the "Jingzhai Party". For example, Song Que, Jie Hui and Fan

Qinghui's encounter may have been "the 500 bows before the Buddha's previous life," but for Fan Qinghui, it was a deliberate "Buddhist guided me to save you." However, when she saw that although Song Que was interested in her, she was extremely autonomous, so she put aside Song Que and Jie Hui and Jie Hui were flirting with each other, so Jie Hui joined the "Jingzhai Party". Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan were like this.

Alas, it's no wonder. Jingzhai and the Demon Sect were fighting each other. In the face of strong enough strength both sides, how many people could still keep themselves from being lost. What's more, in troubled times, it's a world where people speak with their strength. In order to achieve their goals, the way to become a king is to use their best. The world is the chessboard they fight for, and the other people who are fighting for secular rights are just the flags in their hands. What they care more about is their beliefs and the other party's beliefs, and gradually deviate from their original purpose.

At this time, Jingzhai represents the secular rules that have been formulated in the novel, and the Demon Sect is the marginal concept that is hidden in the undercurrent. In fact, just from the original intention of the creation of Cihang Jingzhai, it was originally dedicated to holding good wishes, but how could future generations misunderstand? Cihang Jingzhai, like many ethics in the world today, has gradually moved away and entered a dead end of conservatism and self-confidence.

By being born and entering the world, mastering the method of two polarities and unity, and combining the two together, you can naturally grasp the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. This can explain why Jingzhai's behavior has contradictions in the world.

There is nothing wrong with choosing Li Shimin, the method and means. Jingzhai didn’t need to do everything by himself. How much of Li Shimin’s country was convinced by Shi Feixuan’s fair tongue? Is the world of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin or Shi Feixuan?

Shi Feixuan did not grasp the method of reunification between the two extremes. He entered the world more seriously but was less beautiful. Therefore, the Li family's country was not a monolithic piece, and the evidence was clear and empty.

However, in the Yanjing'an era, did Jingzhai really grasp the method of reunification between the two extremes?
