Heaven Official's Blessing ▪︎ Hurdacı Ölümsüz Ve Kızıl Cübbeli Hayalet hakkındaki halk hikayesi

"Orta dünyada şöyle derler, bir zamanlar hurdacı bir ölümsüz varmış.

Ona Hurdacı ölümsüz deseler de bu ölümsüzün kutsadığı hurda toplayıcılar değildi, ölümlüler diyarının huzuruydu. Çünkü aynı zamanda o en güçlü savaş tanrısıydı.

O'nun yenemeyeceği hiçbir kötülük, öldüremeyeceği hiçbir hayalet yoktur. O, dünyayı yok edecek güce sahip olsa da çiçeğe değer verecek yürekten yoksun değildi.

Ancak bir tanrıya ibadet etmek için birtakım kurallar ve tabular vardır. Eğer biri bu ölümsüze tapılan bir tapınağa uğrarsa asla öylesine gelişigüzel secde edilmemelidir.

Ancak bu hurdacı ölümsüzün özel bir yapısı var ve şanssızlığı çağırır. İnanmıyor musun? Bir zar hazırla, ölümsüzün ilahi heykelinin elini ovalayıp zar at, gel gör ki şansın kesinlikle en kötüsü olacak.

Yani, bu Hurdacı ölümsüzün tozlu beyaz heykeline dua eden bir kişi ne kadar çok dua ederse heykelin o kadar çok kötü şans getirebileceğini söylenir. Suyun bile dişlerin arasına sıkışabileceği noktadan Taocu cübbe giyerken hayaletleri görmeye kadar."

.

"Orta dünyada bir de şundan bahsedilir, öyle bir Kızıl Cübbeli Hayalet Kral varmış ki.

Her ne kadar bu Hayalet Kral'ın insan dışı bir varlık olduğu düşünülse de muazzam sayıda inananlara sahipti. Kendi meskenlerinde Hayalet Kral’ın türbesini gizlice kuranlar sıklıkla bulunur, gündüz ve gece ibadet edip iyi şans için dua ederlerdi.

Bunun nedeni, yalnızca bu Hayalet Kral’ın yenilmez olması değil, görünüşe göre tek bir yenilgiyi bile tatmamıştı ve şansı kıyaslanabilir derecede güçlüydü.

İnanmıyor musun? Zarları atmadan önce onun önünde secdeye kapan. Eğer sana yardım etmeyi isterse o zaman bir sonraki atışınız kesinlikle olağanüstü olacak.

Ancak hayaletler tanrılar gibi değil yani doğal olarak daha fazla tabular var. Hayalet kral çok güçlü olsa da kişiliği tuhaf ve aşırıdır.

Eğer mutluysa sen dua etmesen bile sana yardım edecektir; eğer mutsuzsa sen bin altın versen bile geri çevirir; eğer aşırı mutsuzsa kim bilir belki bir gün canını bile alabilir.

Yani aynı mantıkla, saygınızı göstermek en iyisi ama yine de uzak durun."

.

"Ancak eğer insanlar hem bu tanrının hem de bu hayaletin ilahi heykellerine beraber ibadet ederse işte o zaman bir mucize olur.

O Kızıl Cübbeli Hayalet Kral, Hurdacı Ölümsüz'ü saran tüm talihsizlikleri kovacak ve onun gerçek görünüşünü ortaya çıkarmasına izin verecek.

İnsanlar bunu şok edici bir şekilde keşfedecekler, görünüşe göre o Hurdacı ölümsüzün rengi tozlu bir beyaz değil, parıl parıl parlayan altın rengiymiş."

.

"Efsaneler genellikle gerçeklere dayanır. Ancak bu masal muhtemelen çok çok uzun zaman önce belki de sekiz yüz yıl öncesinden ba��layarak anlatılması bile gerekebilirdi ve bunu anlatmak çok çok uzun bir hikaye olurdu. İnsanlar dinleme sabrına sahip olmayabilir.

Ancak kesin olan şu ki her ikisinin de en güçlü güçlerini sergilemesine sahip olmak için ikisine birlikte tapınılmalıdır.

Bu şekilde kişi iki kat servet ve iki kat yenilmezlik elde edebilir.

Cennetin kutsamasıyla, hiçbir yol çıkmaz değildir."

TGCF Reread: Prologue + Ch. 1- The Scrap Immortal

I've recently started rereading TGCF, and this time I decided, hey, why not mark up the text as I go and take notes on it all? So I'll do my best to share the various notes and observations I make here.

Favorite note of the chapter(s): Ling Wen-zhenjun is a very telling title when you know the terminology.

When that ghost appeared, it was indeed as horrifying as the legends said. It asked the crown prince the first question, and he answered with a smile. "This place is the human world." However, the ghost replied, "This place is the abyss." An auspicious start. The first answer was already incorrect.

Seems right to start out with pointing out how true this is! Xie Lian answered every single one of Jun Wu's questions incorrectly, and he ends up all the happier for it.

Ling Wen-zhenjun stood tall with her hands folded behind her back.

MXTX was my introduction into chinese literature, so I've missed a lot that a native reader, or more experienced foreign reader, definitely wouldn't have. For one, how striking of an introduction Ling Wen has! That she's introduced right off the bat with a masculine title immediately tips the reader off that she's got a story to her.

"Congratulations, you have won first place on the chart of 'Heavenly Official Most Hoped to be Banished Down to the Mortal Realm' of this calendar cycle." "Well, no matter what, first place is first place," Xie Lian said. "But since you're congratulating me, is there anything that's actually worth being happy about?" "Yes," Ling Wen replied. "First place on this chart receives one hundred merits."

...Exactly where do these merits come from? Is there a fund? Did someone donate them? Is this what happens when you leave offerings to someone who isn't actually a god?

General Xuan Zhen was the Martial God of the Southwest who possessed seven thousand temples; his name in the human world was considerably distinguished, and this General Xuan Zhen's real name was Mu Qing. Eight hundred years ago, he was a deputy general at the Xianle Palace of the Crown Prince.

And eight hundred years ago, Xie Lian had 8,000 temples! Ouch, that after 800 years, Mu Qing still hasn't surpassed him. That's gotta bite.

Nan Yang-zhenjun was the Martial God of the Southeast. He possessed eight thousand temples and was incredibly loved by the people. His real name was Feng Xin, and eight hundred years ago, he was the number one heavenly general of the Xianle Palace of the Crown Prince.

Unlike Mu Qing, Feng Xin has achieved 8,000 temples! Which has also got to bite, big time. Yet, it also makes their lantern competition more impressive, too...

There was a tea shop by the side of a major street. Its storefront wasn't big, a small operation, but what was good about it was the scenery. There were mountains and waters, people and the city. It had it all, but not much; not much, but just right. If one was to have a chance meeting here in this landscape, it would definitely become a beautiful memory.

I did some research on traditional Chinese gardens a while back, and learned a lot about how important the use -and balance of- different elements is to the plotting of the gardens. All gardens are supposed to utilize water, stone, plants, and architecture, to create a miniaturized landscape that reflects the ideal balance between man and nature. Thus, this passage is a lot more meaningful to me, now- this is a quite beautiful setting, with a lot of cultural value!

[Nan Feng and Fu Yao] were both young men of eighteen or nineteen years of age.

I'm gonna hold onto this for later. They're wearing disguises, yes, but this may be our best indicator as to how old Feng Xin and Mu Qing look!

The Upper Court consisted of heavenly officials who ascended on their own abilities. There were only about a hundred of them in the entire Heavenly Realm; extremely eminent.

This is also relevant later! 👀

But with that, I've hit the end of Chapter 1, so I'll stop the post there! If you liked reading my thoughts, keep an eye out for Chapter 2...

[skygemspeaks]

a new civil god ascends to heaven, but they're the kind of person who never paid much attention to the martial gods so they just kind of assume that ling wen is the one in charge of everything since jun wu was defeated.

After all, everyone defers to her and she's the one that does a lot of the managing of accounts and coordinating of patrol schedules and stuff

Then one day there's some kind of big scandal and they're told they have to report to the heavenly emperor's palace for an important meeting, except when they start heading towards the palace of ling wen someone corrects them and says that's not the right way.

Then they're led to a humble little wooden cottage, which looks so out of place among all the magnificent golden palaces surrounding it. But it's well taken care of and there's a lovely little garden out front, and this god has been inside it just once before - when the elusive scrap immortal had been in residence on one of the rare occasions he had taken a break from his cultivation in the mortal realm, and they had been sent to his..."palace" on an errand from ling wen. It's cozy enough, they suppose. They don't know why they're here though.

They step inside, and they see that the usually small cottage has magically expanded to accommodate all the heavenly officials who had arrived for the meeting.

Everyone is scattered around at different tables around the massive room, lounging comfortably on floor cushions and chatting amicably with each other. This is the most humble they've ever seen any of their peers. Seeing them like this, they seem almost human. It releases a tension in their shoulders that they hadn't noticed they had been holding ever since their ascension to this grand, oppressive, intimidating divine realm.

There's a low table on a dais at the front of the room, and general nan yang is sitting there on one side of an empty seat, with general xuan zhen sitting on the other side. For once, the two of them aren't bickering with each other.

Then suddenly, the door opens, and the friendly chatter in the room immediately silences as the scrap immortal walks in, his smile serene and his movements graceful.

The other heavenly officials murmur their greetings to him as he walks by, and he answers them all with open friendliness as he makes his way slowly to the front of the room.

General xuan zhen's usual prickly demeanor is absent as the scrap immortal takes the empty seat next to him, and both he and general nan yang lean instinctively in the crown prince's direction, as if drawn into his orbit.

He greets them both with warmth and a familiarity borne of centuries of acquaintance, his smile going soft and tender.

Then, he turns to the room at large, and starts the meeting.

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) Masterpost

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) is a Vocal synth (Vocaloid and SynthV) music project. It consists of songs themed around different figures throughout Chinese history. The project is a collaboration between different artists and creatives, with music and videos featuring prominent traditional Chinese elements. The project's title translates to "The Records of Magnificence of the Wangchuan" - In Chinese mythology, "Wangchuan" (or River of Forgetting) is a river in the Underworld that can rid one of their past life's memories, similar to the river Lethe.

A mobile game adaptation has also been developed by NetEast. Unfortunately, I haven't played it so I can't give much insight on it. However, I assume that its premise is similar to that of the idea behind the project as a whole: all these historical figures meeting each other in the Underworld after they died. Maybe.

You can find all the songs on Bilibili. The official Weibo can be found here. The game's website, which includes all characters appearing so far in the game, can be found here, and its Weibo can be found here.

(If you prefer YouTube, I've also put together a handy playlist. Please know that most of these videos are reposts though, so please watch the original Bilibili MVs if you can!)

This blog is where I will be posting everything I feel like I need to say about the songs in this project. A lot of it is lifted from my Twitter account but will be in much more detail. Note that I probably won't touch collab songs, or songs that don't focus solely on the project's own characters.

Disclaimer: I do not speak Chinese, nor am I an expert on Chinese history. Therefore, I cannot reliably translate the lyrics to these songs, nor my words should be taken as gospel. I am merely a nerd gushing about my hyperfixation.

Completed a prompt for the @TGCFrare2action for @Fereael on twitter!

The prompt was, "Yushi Huang and Ling Wen. Canon times or modern times or some other AU They can be doing anything. Kissing or on a date or just walking through fields together or shopping or idk they can be vampires or mermaids or something. Literally anything. Let your imagination run wild!!!" Hope I didn't disappoint :)

[nazitty56]

I recently got sucked into the TGCF fandom, and now I have a rabid story bunny on the loose in my head.

It's a reverse role fanfic, but the thing is, almosy every time I reverse a role, a name changes.

Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are reversed (of course)

Hua Cheng's name becomes Xu Hong (since he's part of the Xuli royal family. Original, I know). I realized that Xie Lians's official title, Xianle, doesn't fit Xu Hong, so I had to create a name for him: Ying Guan (Flower Crown -- just a rough translation since Chinese characters have more than one translation per character. Keep that in mind for the other names and titles)

Xie Lian becomes Fang Cheng (Beautiful City), though Ghost City's moniker is Hua Cheng (Flower City). Only people who don't know what it is call it Hua Cheng (sometimes locals will call it that to mess with humans). Fang Cheng is also nicknamed HuaHua by the locals (Hua Chengzhu when they're being really mischievous). They call him that (and the city that) because he's always covered in flowers and wraith butterflies, and the city is covered in flowers as well.

I'm still deciding on how they look.

I made Feng Xin, Xie Lian's maternal cousin. Qi Rong is Xu Hong's assistant (becomes Xuan Zhen when he ascends). Mu Qing is Xu Hong's guard (Nan Yang when he ascends).

He Xuan becomes He Sheng and the Water Master (Shui Shi Sheng). His little sister, He Baihe, becomes the Wind Master (Feng Shi Baihe).

Shi Wudu becomes Xuan Shui (mysterious waters), the equivalent of He Xuan.

Nangong Jie (former Ling Wen), was a female general of Xuli and ascends as Ming Guang Jiangjun after the Xuli rebellion -- that still happens, though Xuli doesn't officially falls until a century later.

Pei Ming was a shoemaker in Xuli, and he ascends as Ling Wen.

As you can tell, the three tumors are already a riot.

The hardest part comes in the form of Jun Wu. His original name (in this fic) is Wu Yong, and he never became a god. His wife, Wu Jianlan, did (goddes of forges -- Lin Long ((fine jade dragon)) ). Her new official title became Long Jun (Prosperous Lord) after she crowned herself as Empress.

I like everything I've made so far, but it's going to be a pain in the ass to write because of how the characters are going to change and thus the circumstances are going to change.

The fun part is when I go to post on AO3 and have to figure out the tagging, lmao. The relationship tags are going to make EVERYONE cringe, I can already tell.

If you guys have any ideas, feel free to add to this!
