Finished testimonials (this chapter is free)(1/2)
The final comments, generally speaking, are actually chatting, talking, making a summary, and then looking forward to the future.
After finishing writing this morning, I slept beautifully, then sat on the balcony and stayed silent for a long time. I felt that my head was about to be empty. Then I went to watch two more movies, and my whole spirit was relaxed.
Why did you release nearly 70,000 words in one breath in the last two days?
First of all, the ending plot is inextricably linked to a line, and is finally expressed by the protagonist "Hou Mo". If you cannot get a very refreshing catharsis and display, it will be a bit difficult for readers. I am more worried that this discomfort in the reading experience will make everyone feel unsatisfied and fair in the twenty years of Ping Yao and the entire Ping Yao world. Therefore, I made such a decision, forcing myself to a dead end, and let myself intermittently sleep for two days, only a few hours, and finally present such a perfect state.
Another one is that in such a high-density creative state, I can show the world in my mind, all the clues, arrangements and characters as perfectly as possible in a state of great passion, excitement and high tension. Although such things are under tremendous pressure on my spirit and body, I still gritted my teeth and persevered.
Because I have always believed in a saying, "If you don't have crazy devils, you won't be able to write so much passion and passion, and you won't be able to write such a meticulous, cautious, brilliant, magnificent and lingering ending.
Judging from the results, everyone's satisfactory evaluation also makes me very happy, and it is worth it no matter how tired it is.
I can also end it warmly, or I can update it every three days or every five days. This is more in line with some commercial interests, because in this way, it can continue the popularity and endurance of this book.
But I won't. If I do that, I will never win your respect, and it will not be worthy of the support of readers who have always followed me.
I have always believed that a good story and a wonderful and complete world framework are the most worthy of nostalgia.
I want you to understand one thing, that is, whether it is the nameless person in Tianya six years ago or the weight of more than 18 now, you are still the fat blue man of yours, and the little Buddha who regards you as the most precious existence in life.
After half of his life, he is still a teenager when he returns.
Only by not forgetting your original intention can you achieve the end.
I have been reading your messages in the comment section and WeChat public platform for many times today. Every good review makes me feel how happy I am. It is this sense of happiness that allows me to continue in this long and boring creative career.
In fact, you may not know how difficult it is to accomplish this.
For friends who have known Xiao Fo for a long time, such as those who have been around for five or six years, please recall that until now, how many authors like Xiao Fo who have been creating at the same time?
Some people have disappeared, some have retreated to the second line and let others win the reputation. Many people have gone apart as they walk.
Never find it again.
Only by saying this can you understand how difficult it is to create this thing.
Here, I have to thank many people, my readers, my friends, my family, and my editors and websites, especially those who have gradually become friends and have gradually become integrated into my world, allowing me to feel the warmth and fighting spirit in the loneliness of my long-term creation, and those who have helped me.
It is you who have made this book achieve such excellent results here, making Xiao Fo more respectable.
Here I would like to talk about a friend, "kateyc". This friend has been helping me review typos, very professional and persistent.
In addition, if there are typos in this commentary, don’t judge it. Take a break. I know this, it’s too tired.
laugh.
And thanks to everyone who cared about me.
After talking about the creative status, let’s talk about the book “Night Walker: Twenty Years of Ping Demon”.
First, let’s talk about the creation background of this book, which is the well-known reason. The subject of suspense and supernaturalism is basically a dead end. This is the general trend and no one can change it. Therefore, the positioning of this book is suspense exploration, plus a science fiction core, which uses the power of life science and conjectures about quantum mechanics to deconstruct ancient Chinese myths and many legends.
On the surface, its positioning is actually the mutant in "X-Men", a story about superheroes.
But this kind of Marvel story content is not what I like.
I prefer some things about history and cultural heritage, so I have added real characters like the Ten Great Masters of the Republic of China and the core of "Journey to the West".
I want to write a spirit, a process of small people resisting, struggling, seeking survival, and then sublimating into "heroes".
So there is the first part of the Ping Yao World, which is about the grassroots great sage Hou Mo, a small potion salesman, who not only struggled in the face of the threat of death, but finally completed the story of saving the world.
This little potion salesman has actually been living at the bottom of the class and has struggled for three meals. He has not received a good higher education, has no strong background, and is even completely out of that high-end circle. However, such a person finally stood up and will enjoy the best national resources, have huge power, and countless people are looking forward to, and will compete with the pride of the emperor Ye Fuguo, who has great power and is expected by countless people, and become a hero in everyone's mind.
This is in line with the saying, "Everyone is a dog-slaughtering person, but most of them are scholars."
History is always created by such little people.
And such a small person actually lives by our side. Maybe he just walked past you, or maybe he was sitting in the seat next to your subway.
This is the spirit of the Great Sage in my mind.
I keep my own way.
Chivalrous will last forever.
In addition to the "Sage of Monkey King", I also wrote a particularly interesting group, called the "Ranker Alliance". They were once a group that united to deal with the rampant demons in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. They reached their peak in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Because of the plot of the Heart-Eating Demon and the existence of the suspicion chain, they eventually fell apart, until finally, formed an extremely mysterious association, the nine-person group.
It has experienced three changes in this book, from its initial demise to its later appearance, from its initial Guangwei to its later blackening, and then to its ending flip. These are what I felt very satisfied with after finishing the book and thought it was very outstanding.
The role changes of the Ranger League are profound and there are many metaphors. For some reasons, I cannot deconstruct clearly, so everyone needs to read them carefully in the article to know.
In fact, after reading the whole article, you will find that after reading "Night Walker: Twenty Years of Ping Demon", it is actually three parties playing chess. No matter how outstanding Hou Mo, Ma Yiao and other younger generations are, there are only three people playing chess.
One is the Heart-Eating Demon.
One is the Rangers Alliance.
The last one is to be a referee and an athlete's "Tao", which means "Gaia" or "World Will" I have spent a lot of writing to talk about.
In Chapter 5 of the Tao Te Ching, there is a saying, "Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs." Many people have some mistakes in their interpretation. Its actual meaning is, "Heaven and earth regard all things the same, and they are not particularly good to anyone, nor are they particularly bad to anyone, everything develops naturally." Although this sentence conforms to the general operating rules, is it really like this?
If this is true, then why are there so many coincidences in this world and why are the trends of history flowing forward in a vast and vast way?
So in this context, the "Gaia" theory is a good addition to this passage.
There are many conjectures about the soul and the world involved, and I will not explain them one by one, but what I want to say is based on this point that the actions of the Heart-Devouring Demon have the most real basis and basis. It is precisely because of understanding this that the Heart-Devouring Demon attempts to break it and break the heavenly way. It wants to merge with the heavenly way and eventually change the world.
It has its own view of the world.
We cannot say that it is good or bad, because the world it understands is different from your perception. It sees farther, and perhaps at a certain level, it is actually right.
Of course, when looking at problems, we cannot put aside our stance. As the saying goes, "the butt determines the head." Hou Mo cares about not the bullshit universe, the world and the future, but the people and things around him, his parents, friends and lovers. Because of this, he stood up at the critical moment.
I actually don’t want to judge whether the Heart-Eating Demon is right or wrong, because from a certain perspective, it is also the rebel.
That's why it read the classic lines from "The Legend of Wukong" to Hou Mo.
It persistently thinks that it is right.
I have always believed that a good work and the will of the author have always existed neutrally. Although because of the first person, many people think that the protagonist's three views are the author's three views, but I have always tried to make the work appear more diverse, rather than characterization or stereotype. From this point of view, I am quite satisfied with this book. It makes me like it more than the plot and characters.
Let’s talk about the Ranger Alliance, the Heart-Eating Demon and Ranger Alliance have always been opposites, and red and black are incompatible.
In fact, until the final battle, everyone will find that the situation is under control of the Rangers Alliance.
They did everything, including the variable Hou Mo.
Hou Mo's appearance was the result of Old Man Bai, Mei Gu and Du Chuanwen's efforts who had always seemed very peaceful and good-looking.
Therefore, Du Chuanwen's nickname is "Taibai Jinxing". This nickname is very appropriate to him.
The Rangers League today is also worthy of respect.
They also defended their faith with their lives.
Their Word.
At this point, we can know that the first game of chess in the Ping Yao World has ended. As the heart-devouring demon on the opposite side, he finally lost this game at the cost of his death and soul. The chess player on the other side, the nine elders of the Ranger League, also martyred for his own life, seeking benevolence and dying for the sake of his life.
The only winner is the way of heaven, and it doesn't seem to care much about this matter.
Just like a person walking on the road, he occasionally stepped on a little ant to death. He wouldn't remember too much about this. Anyway... it's not that the salary was deducted, and the royalties were delayed...
Right?
So, is the world quiet now?
No, from the chapter "Epilogue", we know that where there are people, there will be a world of martial arts, and when there are worlds, there will be conflicts, new battles, and countless stories that fascinate people.
Many friends feel that they are still unsatisfied, they feel that there are still many things that have not been mentioned, and they feel that the page is too short...
Yes, you feel right.
After all, because of the first person perspective, many characters and stories cannot be told clearly, but these will never disappear. They already exist in such a world and will continue to move along their own life trajectory. Please don’t worry.
Therefore, there will be a follow-up to the Ping Yao World, a second part, or even a third part.
However, please allow Xiaofo to stop and take a break, let me do something private, let me relax, accompany my family, read books, and go out for a walk.
Humans are not machines, and even machines need maintenance and oiling.
Anyway, I just want to say one thing, I have never let everyone down, and I will not let you down in the future.
The big framework of the Ping Yao World has been built, and the stories in the future will become more and more exciting. The characters you care about will also have more developments and stories, waiting for your arrival.
Of course, please understand some of the shortcomings in creation. Some of you know, while others don’t, but for some reasons, we must follow some creative principles. This is impossible, so please understand each other.
Of course, these are all trivial matters. I went to watch a movie called "I Am Not a God of Medicine". People can come up with such conflicting and controversial subjects. The way they handle and review is simply awesome, making people feel numb and genius.
So there is always a way.
I also believe that the road will get better and better in the future and the road will get wider and wider.
After talking about the work itself, I will talk about the follow-up.
Of course, some extras will certainly be there. These can make up for the shortcomings of the limited first perspective and make the work more three-dimensional, so as to explain many things that cannot be related to and narrated in the first person.
But when the update is not fixed, please write it according to my feelings.
Of course, there is no charge for the extras.
As for Xiaofo’s new book, I haven’t figured out this yet. First, I need to determine the subject matter, and then the type and my passion.
To be continued...
