Finish this summary
Some of my own views, some of the views I appreciate, and some things I want to say in my heart.
(1) The Battle Song of the Sky
Who dares to be a hero of a generation? The Nine Cauldrons of Heaven are shaking all directions. I am the king of domineering spirit, and this lover is loyal and righteous.
The flag is on your shoulder and the soul, and the world of reincarnation can fall. The enemy's fortress has been broken, and there is no right or wrong in your heart.
With golden armor on his shoulders, who will write the poem? Blood dyes half of the sky red, saving the world and becoming a god.
The path of kings is never defeated, and to win the world is mentality. The lovers stay together and look out the window and come alone to wait.
Drink this glass of wine in my hand and I will walk on the road to becoming king. I have all the treasure swords in the world, and I will leave my name forever forever.
I am in the world and look at the world, and I am fighting for the world and wish to become a god. I will lead everyone by stepping on the earth. When will I be able to turn to Kunlun?
The world is dominated by the wind, and I feel so emotional when I hold the world in my hand. Only I am the master, and there is only one person who changes the country.
The horse ran without stopping, fighting bloody battles until dusk. The stars changed the world, and I was destined to be the Nine Five Lords.
Tears are thousands of miles apart, do you know that I miss you? I waved the iron pen to break my love and wrote you in my memories.
I once passed the five levels alone, but once I broke my soul and broke the sky. Ten thousand people did not get blood from it, and vowed to burn the sky in this life.
I am the only one in the world who is the king, and the beacon fire and the wolf smoke kill the wolf. Infinite arrogance is madness, who can cover up my glory?
(2) The old monk who has attained enlightenment
There is an old monk in Xianshan. It is rumored that he was a great monk. Many people came to learn the Dharma with their reputation. The old monk did not refuse and accepted them all, but there was a rule that he had to set a period of time as an assessment. After the time passed, a large number of people would be eliminated. Everyone was still excited to stay in their expectations.
There are seven disciples under the old monk. They have followed the old monk for many years and are deeply trusted by the old monk, but they have not received the true teachings of the old monk.
The old monk handed over the assessment tasks to the seven major disciples, so the seven major disciples took a group of people to conduct the assessment tasks, and the assessment was completely based on the tasks that the old monk had already assigned.
The old monk ordered the seven disciples to let these people chop wood, carry water, and cook every day, and never gave them any instructions. This is all the work. But everyone had no complaints, and they worked hard to chop wood, carry water, and cook. The seven disciples were also detailed records of the performance of the people.
After a period of time, the seven disciples handed over their accounts to the old monk, and the old monk began to give the results of the assessment. Some people could stay, while others could only leave.
However, everyone suddenly discovered a problem, that is, everyone didn't know what the assessment criteria were, and even his seven disciples didn't know what the assessment criteria were! How can we stay? But the result was that many people were eliminated and some were left, and this part was used as the so-called backbone force in the eyes of the old monk.
The admission of disciples was over, and everyone entered a normal life trajectory, but the old monk never disciplined his new disciples. Their work was the same as before, chopping wood, carrying water, and cooking. The old monk allowed his disciples to develop freely. Over time, the old monk's approach caused dissatisfaction among many disciples, including his seven major disciples.
At this time, many disciples began to complain, and even the seven disciples under him began to spread some bad remarks. So the old monk spoke, and he instructed his disciples to conduct an assessment from now on. If anyone can meet the assessment standards, he will teach him the Buddhist teachings he has studied throughout his life to help him achieve the great way.
This made all the disciples long for a longing, so the disciples stopped the commotion and started their normal life again, chopping wood, carrying water, and cooking.
After a while, the old monk announced the results of the assessment. The old monk selected several people to teach the Dharma. Some of his seven disciples did not pass the assessment. At this time, people suddenly found that there was no certain standard for this assessment. No one knew how to pass the assessment. The seven disciples who did not pass the assessment were not clear. Only those who passed the assessment knew it, but no one was willing to say it.
So, everyone started a normal life again: chopping wood, carrying water, and cooking. Gradually, everyone began to feel discouraged. Some began to leave silently, and some said goodbye directly. The disciples who had attained enlightenment through teaching also left silently after they attained enlightenment.
Gradually, people seemed to lose patience with the old monk because people didn't know what this "Tao" was, but some people were always infatuated, and some were also unwilling to accept it. They didn't understand why this was, especially those who were eliminated for the first time. They kept thinking for the rest of their lives, what was the reason for their elimination? No one gave an answer.
However, every year, people come to become disciples and seek enlightenment.
Many years later, someone finally came forward and said something. Everyone finally understood why this old monk had such a mysterious assessment of everyone and why he inexplicably eliminated everyone. The rumors were the insights of a great disciple who had never attained enlightenment.
Only then did people understand why, it was actually very simple, because the old monk was a monk who had attained enlightenment. Whether you can attain enlightenment is in his thoughts, because the Tao is in his hands!
(III) Correct your mentality
Many new generation authors often give up halfway, especially the more people born in the 1990s. They cannot withstand any setbacks or resist scolding and blows. Once they hear seemingly unintentional blame, they will be very angry and even angry.
No matter what profession you do, you must first give an attitude, and as an author, you also need to correct your mentality.
Since you have entered this industry, you have a mission, and more of it is your responsibility, and your responsibility to yourself. Don’t treat the author as an superior identity, and control your emotions. You are one of the most ordinary people. Even if others look down on you, you should not be too entangled.
I am a typical post-90s generation, a typical group of people who cannot withstand the wind and rain or rush to the big waves. However, each of us is a complete individual, and we must always ask ourselves with a question, why do we live in this world?
When you are alive, you will inevitably be criticized by others. Since some people comment, there are naturally those words you cannot bear, and in fact they cannot bear or not. If you are mature, you will naturally bear it. If your brain is still at the stage of breastfeeding, I only have one sentence for you: Are you dead?
Many people complain, no one reads it anyway, so why do you still have to write it?
The same sentence is the same. If you write it, someone may read it, but if you don’t write it, no one will read your story or your heart. If you have poor grades, you will give up. Just like the road of life, you will fail when you encounter a little setback. If you continue like this, no matter what you do, you will be destined to achieve nothing.
Think about it carefully, this is a slow process. I didn’t feel special before. Since I joined the Municipal Writers Association, I felt a little pressure and realized that the words are really sacred and the shoulders are heavy.
Some people say, Xiaomu, you know how to show off every day. Since you have not achieved any results and have not made any money in the books you write, what are you worth showing off every day?
Some people also say, Xiaomu, show off all day long! Can you change your loser?
Some people also say, Xiaomu, you are just a fool. What else can you do besides showing off? You are a fool.
................
I have said countless times that I have never thought of proving myself to others, but I have never felt that I would be looked down upon because of my identity as a second-rate online writer. I never felt that I had made a lot of money or a reputation for making a name for myself. There are only a few people in this world who deserve to be proud of them, father, mother, sister, future wives and children, others... who has the time to deal with them?
But I never refute it, and there is nothing worth refuting. It’s best to understand it, but it’s better not to understand it. As long as it’s your own life, it still has a long life!
I never think being an author is a proud thing, and some people even regard my self-deprecation as a kind of swearing, and I want to scold me.
There are all kinds of people in this world, but there is no shortage of idiots. Even if I am a idiot, I will not show off. When you have no achievements, don’t show off, otherwise you will fall miserably.
I don’t know what’s wrong with people now. Nine out of ten people are joking with pussy all day long, and the rest is unable to interfere. I keep muttering in my heart. The reason is not that this society is too impetuous. It’s a pity that the etiquette of our ancestors was pulled out of their mouths.
Can you tell me by talking about me? What do you think! Anyone who knows me knows that I am known for being gentle and elegant. Although I will start a war of verbal war when I am bored, it is just for entertainment. Anyway, I'm just happy, I care about you!
Although I can't say that I have been scolded by countless people, I know that there are definitely countless people who scold me. I dare to act and take responsibility for doing things. I can write millions of words, and I can say millions of words, and there will be more. You talk to me, and I don't scold you. I respect you the greatest respect for you. You also hope that I will say you are Bichi. In my next life, you can't be considered a Bichi at all.
Give up when encountering setbacks and get back to your mother's womb! Just walk your own path well. There is nothing worth urging. One day, you will naturally walk out of the world in the field you like and make yourself successful. Don't care about other people's opinions, it is a waste of your life.
Now, I have written nearly ten million words in the past few years. During this period, many online writers have told me that they will be looked down upon.
When someone looks down on them, they will be angry and involuntarily angry, and even rush up to fight them.
Sometimes I feel that it may not be wrong for those who say they look down on me, but some online writers are not in the right position at all.
In fact, what is the difference between this and you being angry and angry? Or you are not confident enough, or you have not reached a certain level in this field.
Every industry is extremely difficult. Even if it is a simple thing like writing, the future path will be even more complicated.
Some authors, including me back then, were eager to prove themselves. When they didn’t make money or made very little money, they brag every day that I could make a lot of money by writing books. When you blew it out, but before you did it, it was normal to be looked down upon.
I am still a little transparent now and I am still ignored. I was once kicked out of the website and rejected it with a "tactful" attitude. Now I still call myself a big shot when I meet people. I feel inferior and I still have no money to get it, but relatives, friends, acquaintances and classmates have never laughed at me. This is the motivation for me to continue to fight.
In fact, no one laughs at me (maybe I don’t know) and not everyone around me is particularly good, just because I snatched all the bitterness in this period. Except for my very good friends and friends who I think they can accept (maybe I wishful thinking), I rarely communicate with them about my gains or bitterness in writing. I have never mentioned it to anyone, of course no one knows it, and of course no one will laugh at me.
I never thought of proving myself to others, but I never felt that I would be looked down upon because of my identity as a second-rate online writer. I never thought that it was worth showing off how much money I made in writing articles. There are only a few people in this world who deserve to be proud of them, father, mother, sister, future wife and children, others... who have this free time to deal with them.
Don't be serious about this world, this world will believe in you.
(IV) About Publishing
A reader asked me, will "The Soul Lord Burning" be published? I will answer you with great certainty now, no.
Books written with distorted values cannot be published. Even if the values are correct, the so-called "fantasy diary" that we commonly call cool articles cannot be published because the author has not considered the market for paper books at all?
For example, why do others buy your books? It’s not just because the people on the Internet are asking for pleasure, but more because they want to collect them. Is your book worth collecting? Or can your story be used as a classic book? You can not only read it yourself, but also chat and tell it with friends after dinner. Just have a clear idea.
The current publishing market is more suitable for publishing light novels with a value of more than 100,000 words. According to my friends' relationship and personal market research, I found that many online articles cannot be sold as soon as they were published, and even those of great masters cannot be sold. However, great masters can sell them through the Internet. Some fascinated children will be moved and the results are good. In the real publishing market, who are reading people? Can your works resonate with them? They smile without answering. Good books are mainly collection value. Just click a little bit on the books collected on the Internet, but paper books are often translated, so that customers can have a sense of "the value of this book is very high, I understand many truths, and the story is also wonderful." This is to be responsible to customers and is also the author's artistic achievement.
Most online readers are still uneducated, and even adult children still watch it casually and do not understand the issues of values. Just watch pornographic movies, just enjoy it. Just watch it online. (Of course I don’t think this is the idea, but the friends who read online articles all have this concept. They ask them to buy it. They don’t buy it but feel it is unnecessary because the book does not have collection value, and the story is also the usual "fighting monsters and upgrading to pick up girls" and cannot be discussed as a topic, such as the hero I advocate
The theme of meaning and wisdom is not personalism, but something worth thinking about by humans. When writing a book, you have to write such things, instead of experiencing a little adventure every day and picking up a girl, is that a book? Please publish it quickly, try the disillusionment of personal fantasy and then breaking money to let you understand the value of books, which is also worth it. Chinese people are group will not personal will. When writing a book, you have to write about group will not be personal fantasy. Even if you are individual fantasy, you have to think about the spirit of the entire nation, which is called a spiritual feast.
Publication is not enough, let alone the value of film and television dramas. What film and television dramas need to reflect is not just a fantasy diary that is experienced every day, but a traditional spirit and ideology of our nation, as well as some collisions between mainstream values and special values. Smart people can understand it at a glance. It will be useless to say anything about typing. It’s okay, and they continue to play and have fun.)
Now let me tell you some personal investigation results:
Novels that are millions or even tens of millions of words cannot be published. You can go to the publishing house to ask. When you hear that your book has millions, you will be alert and have a headache. If you pay one million, you will be able to publish it at your own expense (that is, you will be able to pay for all the publishing costs by yourself, and there is no publisher who values investment), you can have money. But if you really love literature and money, you can't make that kind of money. How much money can you make online articles make? Everyone knows. The work must reflect spiritual value. If a book is a messy story hodgepodge, it will be just a sadness when you finish it, and it will be heavy when you finish it, and you won't be excited when you finish it. I hope that smart people think twice!
(V) Comments
The official statistics of "The Soul Lord of Burning Heaven" so far are about 4.6 million, which is the longest novel I have ever written so far.
It turned out to be a thank you. First of all, I would like to thank 3G Bookstore for providing me with such a platform that gives me the opportunity to show myself. Secondly, thanks to my editor Du Nawen Du Da, who has made him worry a lot during this period. Maybe we communicate less with each other, but I respect him very much.
Also, the most important thing is to thank my readers, my parents of food and clothing. Without you, I would not be able to write some inexplicable words here.
Neither "The God of Nothingness" or "The Demon World" or even "The Lord of the Demon World" back then, they did not achieve such a lengthy text.
Actually, I don’t like writing long articles because I think many things can be stopped in time, but this time it’s abruptly.
Many times I think that a book should not exceed two million words. Once it exceeds two million words, it will be a little bloated. However, some things must be in line with the development trend of the times or the industry, so I have become fashionable and wrote 4.6 million words.
There are some stories in the follow-up of "The Soul Lord of the Burning Heaven", but the long text makes me feel tired. A hurried end may be rebirth, or may be destruction forever.
Two years, two years have exhausted me. The glory I originally wanted to write has never come. I don’t know whether I should persist or what my efforts will end up in the end. But I didn’t give up and I didn’t regret it. Who made me like it?
Yes, who made me like it?

As for the next step, I have no specific plan yet. After all, the end of this time is a bit hasty, and I will have some time to alleviate it. If there are new works, I will definitely tell you in advance. I hope that all new and old friends can continue to support me in the future, supporting one soil to form two trees!
Chapter completed!
