There is a saying that "the end of science is theology," and theology has been with us since its birth. In the past, humans would use myths and legends to explain natural phenomena, but after the development of science and technology, natural phenomena have been explained, but divination, feng shui and the like still exist.
The occult can be said to be an excellent carrier of cultural creation, especially the fantasy theme, such works can be said to be numerous, such as J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, Kamakura and Ma's "Catalogue of Forbidden Books in Magic", which involves a lot of Western occult content, and the wizards in "Harry Potter", using magic to fight and fly with a broomstick, are typical wizarding images.
In the "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic", Kamakura and Ma have learned the mysteries of the East and the West into a big mess, various mythical and legendary artifacts have appeared, and the method of releasing magic has become more in line with the characteristics of the Japanese people like, similar to "Blood Eating Raid", and so has a big fight between various fantasy races and magic.
Due to well-known reasons, there are not many similar themes here, but presumably everyone has had a variety of movies played by Mr. Lin Zhengying when they were young, and watched him fiddle with various spells, formations, and fighting with villains, mysterious and handsome, so that now watching horror movies, some viewers will put a portrait of Uncle Ying in front of the screen.
In fact, Uncle Ying's films are really guided by professional Taoists as consultants, so his charms are not blindly drawn. In the field of games, there are more similar fantasy themes, because the game has more room to play than novels, movies and other carriers, and because it is the player who operates the role himself, the sense of substitution is stronger.
For example, in the latest work of the national RPG "Legend of the Paladin Sword" series, "The Legend of the Paladin Sword 7", two of the four characters operated by the player are disciples from the Xiu Xian Men Sect, Bai Moqing and Yue Qingshu. Yue Qingshu is a chivalrous dress, good at making a light sword, flashing and moving during battle, the movement is very elegant, and at the same time, it can also use the unique Imperial Spirit Spell of The Ming Shu Gate to attack.
Bai Moqing's fighting style is more distinctive, her weapon is the Spirit Rune, using the Spirit Rune to release the Five Spirit Spells, arrange the formations, dress like everyone's boudoir, and various skill special effects become more cool under the blessing of the new Unreal Four Engine technology. These magic attacks like Yue Qingshu and Bai Moqing all have their own unique attributes, and when dealing with specific monsters, they can produce a multiplier effect with half the effort, for example, when fighting the monsters of Changbai Mountain, the use of thunder attribute skills can cause more damage.
Since it is the Legend of the Paladin Sword, how can it be less than various sword skills? Shugo was able to use the "Ten Thousand Swords to Curse Evil", and several sword blades fell like raindrops, killing and injuring enemies, and the scene was extremely cool. There is also Shugo, who uses a crossbow that can release poisonous arrows, and because he is from Miaojiang, he is also good at unleashing attack methods such as trickery. These four characters, the player can switch back and forth depending on the situation, while fighting.
In fact, the mysterious elements here are not weaker than those of the West and Japan, and I believe that in the future, there will be more mysterious themes similar to "Immortal Sword" going abroad, shining outside, and promoting traditional culture.
