Chapter 125 Earth Fire Feng Shui, Stars and Clouds Sea
The first volume, as the beginning, occupies a large proportion of the whole book. It needs to bury the clues and has a lot of foreshadowing for the subsequent chapters, so the content will inevitably become bloated.
The evil ghost is an early clue, leading to the development of the characters;
Hou Andu serves as a later clue to bring the characters together again and conclude the story.
In this process, stories are told one by one.
Similarly, the characters introduced earlier will naturally be collected later. After all, with history as the context, they or their descendants will still appear on the stage in the future.
There are also some details, Easter eggs, and several hidden lines during this period.
The more obvious ones, such as: the layout of the old beggar, the rise and fall of the dynasty, Hou Jing's Rebellion (the trouble of Taiqing), the foreshadowing of Fosheng in the Southern Dynasty, and the group headed by Nanzhan Buzhou, in short, I was not allowed to read the outline list, I...
I can't seem to remember clearly either.
But overall, it is a process of spreading out first and then putting it back together.
Of course, there were various adjustments in the middle, some people were deleted before appearing on the stage, and some people could only be mentioned briefly in the final scene of Aoyagi.
But having said that, there are really many foreshadowings that have not been discovered, and the writing power is still limited.
For example, a friend happened to ask about the old beggar’s question, so I simply compiled the answer!
Why does he have to appear before the decisive battle with Hou Andu?
In fact, the two appearances of the old beggar have internal logic and motivation. The answer will be found in the following chapters, and part of the reason can also be found in the first volume.
For example, the second meeting must not take place after Hou Andu's death, nor before Hou Andu arrives at Qingliu Garden, so that it won't feel illogical when he comes back to watch it in the future.
Two things must go hand in hand.
In the early stage, he officially appeared for the first time after the birth of the evil ghost, giving the protagonist a clue to the first turning point. In the later stage, he appeared again before Hou Andu was annihilated, giving a clue to the second turning point.
During this period, some weaknesses were also strengthened, such as bringing characters into the game to think about problems to increase the three-dimensionality of the characters.
For example, Mother Chen.
The protagonist's surname is Chen, and he must have an origin. At this point in time, the Chen Dynasty clan is an ideal choice. Then check the biography, infer the characteristics of the characters based on historical books, set up family relationships, and then put them in and perform the interpretation.
On the other hand, I must emphasize that there really are such partial mothers!
For example, my grandmother, in the eyes of the data a few years ago, I mapped this part, because it was a family scandal, so I didn’t publicize it.
Of course, there are also unsatisfactory places
For example, in the middle period, many readers criticized me, why did you and so-and-so jump around for so long, and how did you and so-and-so survive past five chapters!
In fact, when I was doing the initial design, I didn't regard anyone or anyone as a mini-boss, a mid-boss or anything like that, or to accomplish some small goal first, and then to accomplish a mid-term goal, but as a story.
An element within that establishes character and serves the story at the same time.
Moreover, many characters have historical prototypes. Although they have been artistically processed (some became officials early, and some lived two more years), the original context still needs to be relied on a little, which causes problems. In addition, due to obsessive-compulsive disorder, the old
It is the pursuit of a sense of ritual in the structure of the drama.
After all, this is an online article, and data eyes are still looking at me from the grave, so I need to wake up (pop!)
All of the above still took a lot of effort.
So it’s quite sad to see a lot of people asking for someone to be killed, and talking about how many pictures of so and so, because I want the story to be complete and the characters to be complete, but I also don’t want to make the readers uncomfortable. I can’t sleep all night long. Damn it.
I drank energy drinks, coffee, and watched Zeta (?) to stay refreshed, and revised the outline for several to ten hours at a time.
The outline contains tens of thousands of words and seven or eight tables. Once the front is changed, the back must also be changed.
Back when I was at my peak, I had eleven chapters in my manuscript, each of which was three to four thousand words long. However, because of the problem with evil spirits, I threw away seven chapters. I didn’t make up for it until it was put on the shelf. I kept revising and revising it over and over again.

Here are tips for Volume 2.
It’s not about cultivating immortality in an empty space. After all, it is the beginning of the Southern Dynasties, and it is mixed with history. Immortals are ethereal and have a lot of history, but they have one thing in common, that is, a person’s destiny is very small, but it is also important.
The vicissitudes of life, the change of dynasties, and the indifference are the same as those of immortality.
