An author's impulse to write a book often comes from a few scenes or passages that accidentally burst out in his mind. Then use these fragments as the starting point, expand and extend in all directions, and gradually conceive a complete story.
This is the case with the book "Eternal Life".
One of the earliest inspirations for Pudding was that Gu Xu gained "time" on the Naihe Bridge and escaped from the trap set by Kong Xuan Sanren; the other was that Gu Xu turned into a ghost and ate the soul of Emperor Ziwei to achieve a desperate counterattack. .
Many of the details in the previous content are foreshadowing around these climax sequences.
Emperor Ziwei has been misleading Gu Xu in order to make him identify with the identity of "Ziwei's reincarnation" in order to seize his karma.
In the first two volumes, I believe that many book friends were misled and regarded this book as a story of the rebirth of a strong man.
But in fact, most of us are ordinary people - when an ordinary protagonist relies on his own efforts to defeat the once-high-ranking boss and break the established fate, wouldn't it be more exciting, passionate and immersive?
What we want is this reversal effect (cover your mouth and laugh)
However, the process of ideation was enjoyable, but the process of writing the book was not as easy as imagined.
As a new writer, Pudding still has many shortcomings in writing. For example, high-level battles sometimes fail to produce the desired effects.
Unlike most fairy tales, the protagonist in this book does not wield swords or practice swordsmanship. Instead, he relies on knowledge, strategies, and messy tricks such as talismans, spells, and divination to perform different tricks with ingenuity.
This is also an important and exciting point of the early story.
But as the strength of the protagonist and the opponent continues to increase, the strength of absolute power plays an increasingly decisive role in the battle. In addition, many tricks, such as "karma" and "destiny", are becoming more and more conceptual. , it is difficult to write the battle as concrete, realistic and interesting as in the early stage.
If you don’t have enough experience, you need to practice more.
At the same time, I have been busy applying for graduate students for the past six months. At the beginning of the year, the offline standardized exams were repeatedly canceled due to the epidemic. I signed up for the online exams, but my scores were "Hold" due to network problems. I couldn't get the score. In the end, I had to go Other provinces take the exam.
After struggling for several months, the writing progress was also delayed.
Fortunately, I finally got admitted to the school and was not stuck at home.
However, after graduating from a bachelor's degree, almost all the things I learned before are returned to the teacher. After that, I need to spend time and work hard to make up for the lessons to avoid being unable to keep up with the progress after the semester starts.
I will also try my best to take the time to code and strive to update it stably.
The title of the third volume is "Maybe Leaping in the Abyss", which comes from the "Book of Changes". It means that the dragon may jump into the sky or stay in the abyss. , Only by behaving in a moderate manner can disaster be avoided.
It is very similar to Gu Xu’s situation in this volume.
If he wins, he will replace Ziwei; if he loses, his soul will be shattered.
Next, I need to take a leave to sort out the follow-up details. The time is not sure, but the update will be resumed this Saturday at the earliest and next Monday at the latest.
Please stay tuned for the next volume of "Flying Dragon in the Sky"!
