Sometimes I wonder - what kind of book should I write?
I always knew, but I always asked.
Went out for dinner with friends last night.
Sitting in the back seat of a taxi, looking at the night scene passing by outside the window, it was so blurry that I couldn't see anything clearly.
Suddenly many images came to mind.
Ling He took Wei Yan's knife and ran quickly on Zhao Lang's stone wall. Use the old gentleman's ruler to slap Zhuang Gaoxian in the face...
After Jiang Wang finally took his revenge, he no longer suppressed himself and roared to the sky in the rain of blood.
These images appeared in my mind when I finished writing the first volume.
It took me a long time to meet them at the most suitable time.
I'm so lucky.
To be blessed by these images and to have the support of so many people, I was able to depict them meticulously.
I often think - how else can I write?
Chixin has written 6.5 million words so far, and there is no repeated plot or the same emotion. The threshold of readers is constantly rising, and so is the threshold of authors. How should I write it so that you, who have read 6.5 million words, still find it exciting? How should I write so that I can still be excited and satisfied after writing these 6.5 million words?
There is no answer to this question.
Sometimes inspiration comes, and sometimes it is hard and painful. You can only move forward, keep walking, and watch as you go.
Thinking back to my last vacation.
It seems like it was a lifetime ago.
That time I went to look at a house (I planned to buy a house with excellent Feng Shui that could speed up coding. I did it for you). As a result, I looked at it for several days and couldn't find the right one. I was so tired that I didn’t even want to move. I started this volume without getting any rest.
And the last time I asked for leave to attend a wedding - it couldn't be considered a leave, at most it was a work schedule adjustment. Who makes up for the leave after taking leave? Isn’t that a free invitation? (Only I, your Ah Shen, Shuai Shen, am so honest and responsible.)
Anyway, it’s tiring. I originally wanted to take a trip to Daluoshan to see Li Yi, but I didn't make it.
I chose to take the high-speed train in order to catch up on the manuscript. It took more than seven hours to get back, and I was numb when I got off the train.
I will definitely get a good rest this time!
Sorry, back to the summary.
After finishing the tenth volume and taking back all the foreshadowing of the floating land world, I think it’s time to talk about the “dungeon” thing with you.
What is a copy?
The official explanation is: The dungeon mainly brings players the output of equipment, props, and game resources to satisfy the player's game progress.
To put it simply, it is a place to upgrade and get equipment.
I believe this is also what many people expect from copies.
But the copy in the Scarlet Heart Survey is obviously not satisfied with this.
I don’t want to write a place that has nothing to do with the story and is meaningless just to upgrade and get equipment. I think that's a waste of words - so many words to be worth so many words. They should contribute to the world-building.
As of this writing, the entire worldview is based on a complete map.
The so-called "copies" are rarely opened.
The main ones are the Tianfu Secret Realm, the Forest Sea Source Realm, and the Floating Land World.
In fact, neither the Demon Realm nor the Mysterious Realm can be counted as dungeons. They are the other side of history, and the Mysterious World is in this world and is one of the main battlefields.
The secret realm of Tianfu is Jing Hua Shui Yue, unfolding the plots of Fu Hai, Ji Yanru, and Xuanyuan Shuo, expanding the history of Yang Kingdom, and even the period when the Dao calendar restarted. And of course there is Zhu Biqiong who is complete with this plot line.
The story of Guan Yan, Xiao Fan and Ao Kui unfolds in the world of Senhaiyuan. Ao Kui's plot line once again connects the sea and the floating land.
The floating land world fills in the ancient and medieval history, completes the magic power, and completes the story of the eight wise ministers of the human race, Wuhan Gong.
They don’t seem to be considered copies, because they are closely related to this world, and they are part of this world in terms of map meaning and story structure.
Did you notice?
Jiang Wang has been walking in some stories. While he is experiencing his own life, he is also experiencing the lives of others.
The real world is like this. The person walking towards you may have just lost love, the person sitting on the bench on the street corner may be thinking about life, and the person holding the coffee feels that life is bitter, but what you hear in your ears is the laughter of children... …
Everyone has his own life.
You're not the only one.
I have always said that I want to write a fairy tale world in my dreams, and this is the main line of this.
The story of "Chixin Xuntian" is never just about Jiang Wang. It’s not even just a story from this time.
We follow Jiang Wang's perspective and experience his life and this new era together. But also in the process, read the history of this world.
In today's world of great strife, the stars are indeed shining brightly.
At the end of modern times, the Dao calendar was in the early stages of restarting. Ji Yusu, Ji Yanqiu, Xuanyuan Shuo, Fu Hai, Ji Yanru, Ying Yunian, Chai Yin... Aren't they also shining stars?
Not to mention the ancient sages who led the human race out of the dark age and defeated the demon clan's heaven. Suiren, Bu Lian, Wuhan Gong, Kaidao, Bingwu...
The World Honored One, Demon Patriarch, Confucian Patriarch Kong Ke, and Dharma Patriarch Han Gui from ancient times...
The Lieshan clan, the Dragon Emperor, the Nine Sons of the Dragon Emperor, and the Heavenly Buddha in the medieval era...
Or even just push forward a few tens or hundreds of years.
Jiang Mengxiong, Xiang Fengqi, Xu Yuanzhi, Huang Weizhen... they are all dazzling and shine for a period of time.
Sometimes I feel as if they are there, and I am just a clumsy painter who worked very hard to copy them. Even though I tried my best, I couldn't write them very brilliantly.
But only these seven or eight points, or even three or four points of their original charm, attracted so many people to stop.
How lucky I am to be with so many readers!
Although I often say that I am tired, that is only an objective description of a state.
Many times I am physically and mentally exhausted and really can’t write.
Writing is no harder than moving bricks, but if you grit your teeth when moving bricks, you can still move a few more bricks. When writing, if you grit your teeth, you will often create more piles of garbage.
I need full emotions, abundant energy, and a healthy body to fully devote myself to creation.
My greatest effort in the past few years has been to allow myself to write the best words even in my worst state. Every time I refine it, I read it sentence by sentence, adjusting the words to the most comfortable state for my personal language.
But sometimes if you practice intensively in a daze, you will change what is right into wrong.
Like when I wrote about the part where Jiang Wang went to Chu State and met Xiang Bei.
I wrote that chapter pretty well, it was interesting.
It was during the intensive practice the next day that I obviously didn't sleep well and was in a bad state. I was in a trance. I was still confident that I could do a better job, but I accidentally added, "They exchanged a look."
Exchange glances with a blind man!
I almost went crazy after that. I never dreamed that I could make such a low-level clerical error.
But that’s just how people are.
People just have such bad times.
To be honest, I thought I would be weak until the end of the paper - I also emphasized before that I will definitely write the end of the paper wonderfully, but it may be very slow. In order to ensure the level of the end of the paper, I do not rule out continuous adjustments.
But one day I suddenly took a look, why is it ranked ninth on the monthly vote list?
I haven't competed for the rankings in nearly two years. The further I get to the back, the harder it becomes to write, and I have to hold on to countless threads to move forward. In order to ensure the quality, we can only stabilize and build this world bit by bit.
But my readers actually pushed me, who updates 4,000 times a day, to ninth on the overall list.
I hadn’t paid attention to the list for a long time, and I deliberately scrolled forward that day. I found out that for many months before, it was like Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, and Eleven.
Just a little bit.
What's the difference?
I suddenly woke up——
It's luck.
Hahaha nope.
It’s hard work! !
I haven't worked hard enough, although I write every day, from morning to night.
But I am often distracted and in a daze. I sometimes would rather get my nails done than write an extra word. I don’t know why I am so exhausted at such a young age.
But that day when I saw the ninth place on the monthly list, I suddenly became excited, as if I had been given a shot of blood...
I wrote until early morning every night, and got up at seven or eight in the morning to write again. I wrote and revised again and again, but my mind didn't wander. I was very excited!
I even began to understand why some people don't need much sleep, only sleep four or five hours a day, and have unusual energy.
I thought maybe I also had this talent.
But it turns out chicken blood is just chicken blood.
Yes, I am now in the state of chicken blood.
He was so depressed that he didn't even want to move his fingers.
Strictly speaking, the climax of this volume begins with Chapter 99 "I Didn't Walk Alone".
I wrote it until the end of Chapter 114 "Maple Forest's Old Dream".
But in fact, the previous scenes of Taixu Alliance and Dragon Palace were also very exciting. Moreover, Duke Wu Han’s “beyond all my imagination at that time” had only ended not long ago…
Putting all this aside, just looking at the section about killing the villager, it was a climax that lasted nearly 80,000 words!
People will get tired if they climax for too long.
I believe everyone is tired.
have a good rest! !
We will come again next time!
…
The results of this volume reached a new high.
Both orders were thirty-two thousand and sixty thousand, with a further order of forty-two thousand.
We ranked seventh on the monthly list in June, well, we are still ranked second on the monthly list. (I really hope to give other authors a chance to turn their working state into a resting state. Press pause with me)
The most powerful thing is getting the Five Hundred Alliance achievement. (Before this climax started, it was four hundred and eighty-two alliances. Now it is, five hundred and fifty-three.)
In the entire starting point, only fourteen books have achieved this achievement.
And we don’t have any rebates from the leader or any kind of subsidy from the author. It’s all about everyone’s love for this world and their support for this author who has gone all the way to darkness, is stubborn and even paranoid.
Real readers are the greatest honor!
When I can't think of a plot and am stuck word by word, I feel like writing is so damn hard. It's like lighting a lamp to boil oil, burning blood and marrow. My youth, beauty, and hair have been squeezed out along with my inspiration!
But when I wrote a plot that I was satisfied with, I felt that many readers were moved along with me. I feel again that writing is so happy!
Is there anything happier than writing?
Not anymore!
Thank you to everyone who allowed me to write my heart's story without having to worry about any voices.
Thank you to everyone who loves and supports this world.
thank you.
…
Although I have already prepared the structure of the entire world, from ancient times to the present day, the characters of the Eight Wise Ministers in ancient times were the first to be drawn up. But people need to face reality.
I am ashamed to say that when the results of this book were very poor, I had already decided that the history would be written in recent times, mainly the Immortal Palace Era, and the current world would be written in Maple Forest.
All stories begin and end in the maple forest.
The ending I have today is the ending I planned at that time. (Isn’t it also very good?!)
If it were written like this, neither the demon world nor the mythical world would unfold. The Human Emperor, the Dragon Emperor, the Eight Wise Ministers, the Dragon Fisherman, Yu Zhen, Fu Hai, the World Honored One, the Heavenly Buddha... are all just backgrounds.
Because the whole process is layer by layer, and if I don’t write about it, readers won’t be able to tell. No one can say I suck.
but. Thanks to so many readers for giving me the confidence to write everything I want to write.
It is everyone's participation that opens the door to history and makes the world clearer. Let those figures deep in time show their outlines.
Thank you to all the people who love this world. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dream of being a fairy.
Maple Grove is not the end, I have a more exciting ending.
It has appeared in my mind, waiting to meet you.
And thank you for giving it the chance to come out.
I haven't started the detailed outline of Volume 11 yet, but there are many plot scenes.
I believe that is a very wonderful story.
But I really can't think anymore.
Therefore, the name of the volume has not been chosen yet.
All in all, five days off (four days after today is deducted).
See you at 12 noon on July 9th!
By the way, there are so many people urging me to write a speech. They even urge me to write a speech during the holidays. They even urge me to write a speech. Isn’t that human! ?
Thank you for walking this far with me.
thanks again.
Good afternoon, my friends.
