"The so-called ritual is essentially an objective summary of the laws of the world."
"Or you could say it's a collection of scattered patterns."
"It is precisely because of the 'scattered' and 'random' nature of the laws, coupled with the instability of the 'mysterious power' that dominates the actual effects of rituals, that over the past thousands of years, humans have never really formed a stable system or stable inheritance in this science."
"But even so, relying on religion, a BUG-level cultural inheritance carrier, we still retain a considerable part of the inheritance of the law."
"And these inheritance of Dharma lineage have been roughly divided into categories and grades..."
Sitting at the table, Lin Shu calmed down and listened carefully to Lu Ran's explanation.
While writing and drawing on the white paper, Lu Ran continued:
"Currently, our classification of 'rituals' generally follows the original grades in the religious system."
“The purpose of this is to preserve the integrity of the original system as much as possible and avoid missing available rituals.”
"On the other hand, it is because this system is highly scalable. Even if we later discover more rituals 'outside the system', we can easily classify them into the original system to form a complete and orderly management."
"We call this system the 'three holes and nine levels system'."
"The source is the nine-grade transfer system from the Taoist "Temple of Heaven Jade Grid" and the "three-hole category" of the three-hole scripture system."
"Ninth grade is easy to understand. Just think of it as a level. First grade is the lowest and ninth grade is the highest. Of course, when we talk, we often talk about first and second grades, not first and second grades, because the word 'grade' always sounds a bit weird in a modern context."
"But the meaning is the same - retaining the word 'pin' actually means maintaining respect for the source of the original system."
After the words fell, Lin Shu nodded thoughtfully.
really.
Although the meaning is the same, when talking about "several grades", it always feels a bit like the skills in fantasy novels.
But when talking about "level", it has a more rigorous and scientific flavor.
"I understand, please continue."
"Okay."
Lu Ran turned over a page and continued writing:
"On the basis of grade, we horizontally divided all rituals into three major categories."
"That is, the Dongxuan Department, the Dongshen Department, and the Dongzhen Department."
"The reason for this classification is because the classification of Sandong Jingjiao is very strict and conforms to the basic classification standards of rituals."
"You may think that the difference between the three holes is a simple classification of spells, but in fact, it is more like a complete and hierarchical cosmic law system that deeply integrates gods, classics, practice stages and spell authority."
"The three caves themselves are also divided into high and low levels. For example, the Dongzhen Department, traditional Taoist books believe that this is the 'Mahayana Sacred Path', while the Dongxuan Department is only the 'Middle Vehicle Wonderful Dharma'."
"However, in our classification, we abandoned the distinction between the three holes and only took the differences in the 'division of rules and authority'."
"The classification is very complicated. You can even refer to the biological classification logic of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species."
"But for now, you don't really need to remember the classification of each ritual, you just need to remember the general principles of classification."
"The Cave God Department mainly contains the rituals of the 'phenomenon' category. Thunder magic, summoning wind and rain, including Meishan's various talisman magic, and Miaojiang Gu magic - I refer to the poison magic under the ritual system, not the poisonous magic that is still circulating now - all belong to this category."
"The Dongxuan Department mainly contains rituals in the 'rules' category. The Peace Talisman belongs to this category. It also includes things like the Five Ghosts to Luck Wealth, the Five Rampant Methods, the Eight Powerful Grammars, etc."
