The Origin and Current Summary of This Book
I’d like to explain in advance that today’s main text is updated once, and the second update will be added later.
The previous chapter made me feel relieved, and all my passion and energy were put into the text. Now I feel a little lazy. I can’t get motivated to write the next chapter, but I can’t sleep because of the contradiction.
I personally don’t put myself into the protagonist of my writing, because I think that will affect my overall control of the text.
Therefore, the ideas and world views of the protagonist in my article do not represent myself.
I admit that there are actually some overlaps, but it is only a part.
As for which part, only I know it well, hehe.
But today is an exception.
I clearly say that Yan Zhaoge’s view of the Monkey King in the article is my view of the Monkey King.
I am proud and honored to be a brainless fan of the Monkey King.
All those who advise me to be rational or ridicule me on this matter will reply in unison: "I don’t want to listen, you are a turtle chanting sutras!"
I’m sorry to make you laugh.
I can't continue writing the main text today. I want to sleep but I can't. But some words keep coming out. I want to talk to you.
The book is not finished yet, so it's actually quite inappropriate to talk about the summary.
And this volume hasn't even ended yet, which is even more inappropriate.
But I'm quite moved to finish writing this plot under the Five Elements Mountain.
Because this is the original inspiration for the book.
Well, a plot written when the book is almost three million words is the inspiration...
Don't laugh, it's true.
The earliest inspiration for this book came from a movie by Stephen Chow, Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, which was starred by Huang Bo, Wen Zhang, and Shu Qi.
It seemed to be 2011 or 2012? I hadn't officially entered the book writing industry yet, which was earlier than the first book of the founder.
At that time, it was not so much the inspiration for writing a book, but just an immature brain hole.
Of course, it may not be fully thought out now.
After the founder finished the book, he thought about what to write in the new book, and during the consideration, he thought of this brain hole.
I am ashamed to say that I always start my own brainwaves when writing books, and the same is true for the founder of the previous book.
This book is just the brainwaves I had when watching movies, and then I started to expand, expand, and expand again.
Add more brainwaves, and then continue to expand.
So if you think some settings are different from your existing cognition, don’t be surprised, because many of them are my brainwaves.
It would be strange if they were all the same.
If some friends think that this is different from the Honghuang flow, this is different from Journey to the West, this is different from the orthodox Taoist classics, this is different from the Investiture of the Gods, and this mythological story passed down from generation to generation, please be calm.
Believe in yourself, your feeling is right, it is really different.
I tell the story I want to tell.
If you really feel that you can’t accept it, I apologize here.
Speaking of which, at the beginning, the beginning of the story is actually that the protagonist was born in the White Lotus Pure Land, in the Zhaxing Realm. From childhood to adulthood, he has heard and seen that everyone chants Buddha, the world is peaceful, and the Pure Land world is worry-free...
A false and prosperous world.
Here, everything you can know is information that someone wants you to know and only allows you to know.
But the protagonist who traveled through time and space is very suspicious, afraid, resistant, and confused about this world.
He wants to find the truth, see the real world, and know more about the truth.
As a result, he mistakenly entered the Five Elements Mountain, became the successor of the monkey, and then began to uncover a corner of the real world...
Of course, if it is really written that way, many details and settings must be adjusted, but the general direction and framework, as well as the world view and world structure are still fixed.
So, on the basis of the general direction and framework remaining unchanged, it may be a story with a very depressing overall atmosphere, which has been depressing since the beginning, and it will take a long time to suppress.
So in the end, I abandoned that beginning, reconceived it, and thought about it again.
Thinking about it, I gradually got the current one.
Speaking of it, the current beginning seems to have deviated from the original inspiration starting point by more than ten thousand miles?
So it is close to three million words, and I have come back here all the way to write the brain hole that I wanted to write at the beginning.
Actually, it is not.
Many plots echo the previous text, and many plots in the previous text will also be explained in the later text.
This is the writing method I am trying and learning while writing this book.
However, some plot foreshadowing may have been buried for too long, so that some friends who read the previous text will feel that there are bugs in the plot and it is not explained.
But in fact, there will be explanations in the later text.
I can still remember the questions raised by some friends in the book review area.
Why are there so many people in Guangcheng who have fallen into the Nine Netherworld?
Why don’t we see the internal fighting of the opponents such as the Great Sun Holy Sect and the Heavenly Thunder Palace, but only the internal fighting of Guangcheng Mountain? Isn’t this deliberately creating trouble for the protagonist? It has reached the point of ignoring reality.
Why can the protagonist casually read so many top secret books in the library of the Heavenly Palace?
And so on.
But in fact, these are explained in the later text.
Why are there so many people in Guangcheng who have fallen into the Nine Netherworld? Because the boss of the Absolute Abyss Organization is from Guangcheng, which is equivalent to the source of pollution in Guangcheng. Although there is a saying that rabbits don’t eat grass near their nests, there is also the truth that those who are close to ink will be black.
Why don’t we see the internal fighting between the rivals such as the Sun Holy Sect and the Thunder Palace, but only the internal fighting in Guangcheng Mountain? Because the protagonist is a disciple of Guangcheng, the main perspective of the story has always been in Guangcheng. Even if there is internal fighting between the enemy sects, it is not easy for everyone to see.
But in fact, I have mentioned it in passing, such as the struggle between Lin Zhou’s father and Yan Shan’s master in the Thunder Palace. As for the Sun Holy Sect, if you are interested, you may want to look back and see which Sun Holy Sect warriors died at the foot of Guangcheng Mountain during the first Guangcheng catastrophe?
Pan Botai, Pu Zhaojun, etc. are all from the Sun Holy Sect. They are not from the same faction as the sect leader Huang Xu. In that battle, Huang Guanglie took the lead in winning, and the casualties were not Huang Xu’s direct line of descent.
The Sun Holy Sect is not harmonious either.
Why can the protagonist casually read so many top secret books in the Tianting Palace Library? Friends who have read the twelfth volume know the reason here.
Well, I admit that the suspense left in the first volume was not revealed until the twelfth volume, and it was left for a long time.
Some friends may ask, is it that I didn't think about it at the beginning, and I racked my brains to make it round while writing? It's too difficult to make it round, so it took so long to make it round.
Actually, it's not true.
For example, some book friends questioned why the Great Sun Holy Sect dared to bully the enemy Yan Mo and Jiuyou? The villains are too NC.
Why is the Emperor of the Earth so cowardly? The Emperor of the Earth is too NC.
Why are the Immortal Court and the White Lotus Pure Land so powerful, and the Biyoutian and the Jieshangjie can still exist? The Immortal Court and the White Lotus Pure Land are too NC, or the Immortal Court and the White Lotus Pure Land are actually quite good to the Biyoutian and the Jieshangjie.
So far, up to the thirteenth volume, most of the answers have been revealed.
But before the reveal, there are actually foreshadowings.
Why did the Great Sun Holy Sect dare to bully the enemy Yan Mo and Jiuyou? Because the Great Sun Holy Sect had established a connection with the Guangming Sect of the Jieshangjie at that time.
Even if things get out of hand in the end, it won't be a disaster for the Great Sun Holy Sect, because they can ask the people of the Light Sect to come and solve the problem. For the Great Sun Holy Sect, the worst result is that they will be seen as incompetent by the Light Sect, which will lead to the Light Sect's more involvement in the affairs of the Eight Extremes Great World, reducing their autonomy.
This foreshadowing was first given in the conversation between Tang Yonghao and Huang Jie in the chapter "289. Eliminating Harm for the Eight Extremes".
In addition, there is a more obscure one, which may be a bit too obscure.
Huang Jie claimed that he would do a big thing every year of his birth year.
The big thing he did when he was twelve years old, that is, the first big thing, was actually accidentally contacting Zhang Chuo, the Purple Yang Martial Saint Great Sun Saint who was stuck between the Eight Extremes Great World and the World Above, and then accidentally discovered by the elders of the Light Sect, thus opening the prelude to the Great Sun Holy Sect's embrace of the Light Sect.
Why is the Earth Emperor so cowardly?
Why are the Immortal Court and the White Lotus Pure Land so powerful, and the Green Travel Heaven and the World Above can still exist?
These two questions actually have the same answer, which is the existence of Laojun.
So the Earth Emperor Jiang Shen did not want to take risks. Even though he experienced the embarrassment of Laojun not taking action during the Great Destruction, he still placed his hopes on Laojun. Although he was conservative, I personally don’t think he was stupid.
The fact that the forces such as the Immortal Court and the White Lotus Pure Land did not kill the Taoist sect was also because they were concerned about the Three Pure Ones who had already transcended. Who knows if they will suddenly go crazy and come back.
This foreshadowing was first given in the conversation between the Earth Supreme King Zhengcheng and his apprentice Li Junxin in the chapter "1139. The wind and rain suddenly came in one day".
Although Li Junxin did not understand why and only knew to listen to his master's teachings honestly, the Earth Supreme King Zhengcheng knew some news from his master, the Earth Emperor Jiang Shen.
Having said so much, there is no other meaning, just to say that some plots that seem to be bugs are actually foreshadowings for the later text.
Maybe when the truth is revealed, some friends will still be dissatisfied, feel that they can't justify themselves, and think that it's still a bug, but please believe me, that's my personal level. Maybe I'm not good enough, but I have carefully conceived the plot, and I think about the design by comparing the past and the present.
Friends who are familiar with me know that one of my obsessive-compulsive disorders is that if a large plot is not sorted out as a whole, then even if the first half has been conceived and the details have been listed, I still can't write it out, and I can only keep working there, thinking over and over again.
In fact, the reason is here.
Because I like the kind of sudden enlightenment and sudden enlightenment when I see a plot, which echoes with a large clue in the previous text, and I feel really hearty.
So in the process of writing this book, I also consciously used this method a lot.
The ancestor of the previous book actually had it, but not as frequently as this one.
But today, looking back and summarizing, I think this may not be a good method.
Maybe it's because of my limited level of writing? Often the clues are buried too long, and the answers are revealed too late, so that friends who read the book may have forgotten the clues buried in the previous text when reading the later text, so that when I fill the holes, I feel inexplicably.
And the holes in the front are left too long, which makes some friends tired and uninterested.
I think this is a harm to everyone's reading experience and pleasure.
I have many ways of writing that I want to try, but I still hope that my book can make everyone feel refreshed.
I want to tell you the stories in my mind, and this will not change. Before I reach a high enough level, I think I should try to reduce the writing style that causes unfriendly reading effects.
It is a pity that this book has buried many foreshadowings and dug many holes waiting for me to fill, so the writing style of this book may have to continue.
If there is a next book, I will try to correct my habits and try to write a story with a more direct plot structure. I hope everyone will like it.
Everyone can tell a story. How to tell a story well is something I have been exploring and learning. I hope to find a way to make everyone's reading experience better and write a story that more friends like to read and feel refreshed after reading it.
I have said a lot of rambling, I hope you will not feel bored.
Thank you to every friend who has accompanied my brother to this day.
And, although it is a summary, there is still a lot of content in this book that has not been written. This is not a summary of the whole book...
I hope to go on with everyone and have more new friends join in.
Thank you everyone.
