"Huh~"

Finally finished the fourth volume!

When I was writing this volume, I was holding back too many things in my heart, and I wanted to express them to my book friends.

But these inner words have always been suppressed in my heart, for fear that they will affect the reading experience of book friends.

it's good now.

Finished writing the plot of the fourth volume.

Finally I can have a good chat with everyone.

Therefore, this summary at the end of the volume and the preview of the new volume will be a very long one.

Everyone should be mentally prepared first. You can watch it or not watch it.

But I still hope everyone will read it patiently.

I also want to show you the psychological journey when creating this volume.

Okay, without further ado, let’s start with a summary.

The text of this volume has 70,000 words.

The detailed outline contains 90,000 words.

It is also the main text and outline of the book, and the volume that has been written the most.

Of course, there are some scrapped drafts in the middle, as well as some long-winded plots that I deleted, which are not included.

Otherwise, the detailed outline may exceed 80,000 words.

A detailed outline of 80,000 words is just for writing one volume.

This is a huge challenge for me, and it is also the first time I have experienced such a creation.

So you will see that when I wrote the fourth volume, it was the volume with the most interruptions.

There was even a break in updates for more than 3 months.

Fortunately, I survived.

Let’s review the plot of Volume 4 again.

In fact, in the conception, this volume mainly focuses on three time nodes.

They are now, 3 months later and half a year later.

Right now, in the book, it's April.

What I write mainly is a main line.

It can also be said to be the main plot of the first half of the Blue Star chapter.

That is when the great demons leave the Kunlun Mountains and conquer the famous mountains and rivers.

In this main line, what we mainly talk about is how each big demon conquers the mountains and rivers, and how to break through to the Qingshan realm.

And how to create bonds with practitioners in the world, or ordinary people.

All of this must be written down as a foreshadowing for the climax of the fifth volume.

In addition, there is a hidden line here.

It was An Chen who led students one by one to walk in the Kunlun Mountains and see his vision of the green mountains.

But this part of the plot is not described in detail, but is interspersed throughout.

When I was conceiving this part of the plot, the picture that appeared in my mind was like this...

An Chen left the village with one student at a time to walk in the Kunlun Mountains.

As they walked through a stream, a forest, a mountain, or a flower bed.

The great demons who have gone out to the outside world are also occupying the mountains and rivers.

For example, when An Chen and Xiao Qing walked through a stream.

Liu Siji fought with Xie Shixiu on Wangwu Mountain.

An Chen and Xiao Bai were walking through a flower garden.

Ah Li was on Tiantai Mountain, and the practitioners who were sitting there were stunned.

And An Chen and Xiao Mei were walking across a bridge.

The white goat also transformed into a human on the top of Huashan Mountain and defeated the practitioners sitting there.

Then the camera turned.

Xiaoqing returned to the village, sat next to the dragon egg, and whispered something. Ahri sat next to her, eating.

Then An Chen and Guai Guai sat on the grass and basked in the sun.

At this time, the red-crowned crane went to Laojun Mountain and defeated Guo Yunxiao with its mouth.

In this way, time passed and three months passed.

I quite like this way of writing, and I think it will be very graphic.

So I wrote it down, which can be regarded as a new exploration and attempt.

I also think that each volume can bring you a different, interesting, and fresh reading experience.

Otherwise, if you write a routine, it will be very boring, and everyone will lose their energy while watching it.

The writing method of this volume is actually improved on the basis of the second volume [Kyushu Rebellion], which can be regarded as some progress.

Of course, I hope that this way of writing will provide everyone with a less confusing reading experience than the second volume.

If so, I can only smile and apologize.

Fortunately.

The development of each big monster coming out of the mountain has the desired feeling.

At least the story of how the main big demon conquered the mountains and rivers has been written down.

For example, Ahri.

For example, Liu Siji.

For example, there are big monsters such as the giant ground sloth, the little white rabbit Guaiguai, the golden monkey, the white-tusked elephant, the cheetah, the fat orange cat, etc.

As for the mountains and rivers captured by other great demons, there are too many.

It's impossible to cover everything.

It’s impossible to actually write it down, otherwise it would be too watery.

So I can only choose some interesting monsters and stories with different personalities to write.

Therefore, one-third of the plot of the fourth volume revolves around the great demons taking over the mountains and rivers and seeing the green mountains.

And 3 months later.

This is the main storyline in the book in August.

That is, from being a great demon emerging from the mountains, to being able to establish a sect and recruit many disciples.

The main plot of this part is actually mainly about the bonds between the great demons, practitioners, and ordinary people.

There are also seeds of awakening in the Dragon Kingdom, which have entered the Kunlun Taoist sect and become part of the future war.

Therefore, the main perspective of this part of the plot is on outside practitioners and ordinary people.

It also fits the theme of this volume, the human world.

In the vast world of mortals, there are hidden appearances of all living beings.

Even looking at it as a whole, this volume is about the story of the great demon and the people in the outside world. It must be written as a foreshadowing for the fifth volume.

When writing this volume, too many details were laid out.

Maybe people will jump over it directly and ignore those small details.

But in detail.

An Chen took Xiaoqing, Xiaobai, Ah Li and others to walk in the Kunlun Mountains, and then returned to the village. The conversations that took place were all meaningful.

Also, the foreshadowing of some small details is also related to the direction of the plot later.

For example: a reunion dinner, a piece of plum blossom cake, a white hyacinth, a snow pear, a bowl of plum soup, etc., are all foreshadowing.

In addition, the name of Kyushu was chosen after a lot of research.

Also, for each mountain and which state it corresponds to, I first found information and then wrote it down.

Doing this really consumes my hair and my energy, which has resulted in me being bald now (laughing).

Just conceiving the plot and characters takes a whole morning every day.

But it's all worth it.

The finer it is polished, the more immersive it will be, giving everyone an immersive reading experience.

Also, while writing this volume.

Every time I write a chapter, I tell myself, don't worry, write out all the plots that need to be written, and lay out every detail.
To be continued...
