Chapter 90 Remarks on the launch
Chapter 90 Remarks on the launch
It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and I have mixed feelings.
Let me first tell you about the creative ideas behind this book and the direction of the plot.
In the last chapter of my previous book "Fight with Superman", I said that I wanted to write a book about the ecological status of ordinary immortal practitioners against the background of Journey to the West and Conferred Gods.
What is an ordinary cultivator?
Take the dialogue between Wukong and Bodhi Patriarch in Journey to the West as an example:
The master said, "There are 360 branches in the Dao sect, and all the branches have positive results. I wonder which branch you are studying?"
Wukong said: "As you wish, Master. I will follow your instructions carefully."
The master said, "How about I teach you the way of the word 'Shu'?"
Wukong asked, "How do you say the way of the art?"
The ancestor said: "In the art of magic, it is to ask the gods for help, to ask for divination and to know the principles of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster."
Wukong asked: "Can we achieve immortality like this?"
The master said: "No! No!"
Wukong said: "I won't learn! I won't learn!"
The master then asked, "How about I teach you the way of the 'flow' sect?"
Wukong asked again: "What is the meaning of the Liu character sect?"
The ancestor said: "In the Liu word sect, there are Confucianists, Buddhists, Taoists, Yin-Yangists, Mohists, and doctors. Some read scriptures, some chant Buddha's name, and some worship the true saints."
Wukong asked: "Can we achieve immortality like this?"
The master said: "If you want to live forever, it is like 'putting a pillar in the wall'."
Wukong said, "Master, I am an honest man and do not know how to speak in the market. What do you mean by 'pillars in the wall'?"
The master said: "When people build a house, they want it to be strong, so they put a pillar between the walls. One day, the building will collapse and the pillar will decay."
Wukong said: "According to this, it won't last long. Don't learn! Don't learn!"
The master said, "How about I teach you the way of the word 'quiet'?"
Wukong asked: "What is the true fruit in the Jing Sect?"
The master said, "This means to rest and guard the grain, be quiet and do nothing, meditate, observe the abstinence from speech and fast, or practice sleeping skills, or practice standing skills, and enter into meditation and seclusion."
Wukong asked: "Can you achieve immortality this way?"
The master said: "It also looks like 'kiln head adobe'."
Wukong laughed and said, "Master, you are right. Yixing said I can't speak the local dialect. How do you say 'kiln clay'?"
The master said: "It is like the bricks and tiles formed in the kiln. Although they have been formed, they have not been tempered by water and fire. Once it rains heavily, they will be rotten."
Wukong said: "It won't last long. Don't learn! Don't learn!"
The master said, "How about I teach you the way of the word 'movement'?"
Wukong said: "What about the way of moving the gate?"
The ancestor said: "This is to have an active and productive action, to gather yin to replenish yang, to climb the bow and step on the crossbow, to rub the navel to pass the qi, to use prescriptions to prepare, to burn grass and beat the cauldron, to take red lead, to refine autumn stone, and to take women's milk and the like."
Wukong asked: "Can this also lead to immortality?"
The master said: "This desire for longevity is like catching the moon in the water."
Wukong said, "Master is here again! How can it be called 'fishing for the moon in the water'?"
The master said: "The moon is in the sky, and its shadow is in the water. Although you can see it, you can't reach it, so it's just empty."
Wukong said: "I won't learn! I won't learn!" **************
Wukong doesn't think highly of the techniques, flows, movements and stillness provided by Patriarch Bodhi, but they are already considered top professions in the world of immortal cultivation.
Taking universities as an example, Tsinghua University and Peking University are the first-tier, but not all graduates from Tsinghua and Peking University are top-tier.
Students from Peking University and Tsinghua University are also divided into grades: those who get a full scholarship offer from a world-renowned university or top laboratory in their senior year are considered first class; those who stay in school to pursue a doctorate are slightly lower class; if they go directly into employment and get an offer from a large company, that's still okay, but if they get an ordinary job - especially if they "fall" to the level of taking the civil service exam, they are considered second class again.
The Slanting Moon and Three Stars Cave of Bodhi Patriarch is the Qingbei in the world of immortal cultivation.
Wukong is an excellent student who received a full scholarship offer.
Other brothers can only practice one of the techniques, flows, movements, and stillness, and they are still the best when they enter the world of immortal cultivation.
So what about the key universities, ordinary universities, junior colleges, high school diplomas, and junior high school diplomas in the world of Journey to the West?
I want to depict the “living conditions of ordinary college students” in the world of Journey to the West.
This is the original intention of writing this book.
So in the initial setting, Xiaoyu's starting point was relatively low.
I hope to follow her perspective and present a three-dimensional world of immortals, Buddhas, gods and monsters from low to high.
However, judging from the current results, perhaps Xiaoyu should have been made more ordinary and common, starting as a village girl or an ordinary woman in a small town, without being captured or having any experience in teaching. She just fought monsters and upgraded step by step, winning all the way, only winning and never losing, accumulating small wins into big wins. It would be more enjoyable to read, and the results would definitely be better than it is now (if there is a next book, I will try to write it this way).
What can I say? I am an old loser and have nothing like the qualities of a great writer. Have I never read the books of great writers?
It’s mainly because of the obsession in my heart.
The inspiration for Xiao Yushaman’s identity came from Jun Ji-hyun’s movie “Kingdom, Ashin of the North” a few years ago.
Xiaoyu got the idea of going to teach Sifang after watching Liu Yifei play Zhao Paner (Dream of Red Mansions) a few years ago.
Hehe, Liu Yifei and Jun Ji-hyun are both goddesses in my mind.
Some readers said that Reganmian wrote this book because it must be related to Black Myth.
Actually, no, I had this idea a long time ago.
In North Ashin, Jun Ji-hyun is just a “barbarian girl”, she is very cool and handsome, but also very miserable, I feel pity for her.
Needless to say, Zhao Pan'er was a famous prostitute.
I don't mean to imitate their plot. Xiaoyu is just accumulating skills in the teaching office so that he can soar into the sky and kill everyone.
Old readers should know that I also wrote a fan fiction about Daenerys Targaryen, in which Daenerys Targaryen is pregnant at the beginning.
Not to mention me, an old loser who has read novels for many years, even a new writer would understand that this kind of setting is a bit "toxic".
I am not aloof, nor do I screen readers as some readers think - I am not qualified to do so. I just want everyone to like my books.
I just can't control myself, or I forget to control myself.
Why does a writer write novels? To make money, to turn inspiration into stories, or because the indelible shadow in memory becomes an obsession.
Well, let’s get back to the topic.
I'm a little slow-witted, but I still hope to listen to readers' suggestions.
After receiving feedback from readers, I slightly adjusted some of the plot directions of the second volume, “Tianmen Town Storm”.
I originally planned to write more daily folk stories about Xiaoyu's experiences in Hongxiufang to show the appearance of the lower-level world of immortal cultivation. Now I have strengthened the plot conflict, and I will come into contact with the top bosses of the prehistoric world earlier than before, even if they just show their faces briefly.
The second volume should be better than the first. I hope.
Well, that’s all I have to say about the plot. It will be on the shelves tomorrow at 12 noon. Please support me. Thank you.
