Starting from new starting points, I have been looking for a certain possibility in creation. No matter how ignored or suppressed, searching and transcending are always the dreams pursued by humans.
From Qin Shihuang in "Looking for Qin", Liu Yu and Tuoba Gui, the founders of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in "Legend of the Frontier", Tang Taizong in "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", to today's Wu Zetian in "The Sun and the Moon in the Sky", "following" and "transcending" have become Like the relationship between the axis and the wheel, the fitting and advancement make history and martial arts produce a miraculous effect of grafting onto each other.
In the past five years, I have not written any new works, but I am definitely not giving up. It is a process of thinking and settling, the laziness before another creative storm.
During this period, I repeatedly read my own works, as if searching for the mysterious spell that could touch me from the deep memories of ancient times.
Abandon and look forward, bake and research, trying to expand martial arts novels to new limits.
This process of introspection and transcendence is still self-talk, readers should not be offended. The final result is the publication of "Sun and Moon in the Sky", and as Wu Zetian said, "One's own merits and demerits are left to future generations to comment on." ”.
Another feature of "Sun and Moon in the Sky" is that to a certain extent, it continues its relationship with "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". It is like the fertile soil of the book "Datang Dynasty" gave birth to another novel about a different time and space. I can't bear to let it go. I feel deeply nostalgic for the past.
The cute little girl Mingkong in the final volume of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" makes her grand appearance sixty years later. In a country where Confucian ethics and male supremacy are supreme, she is a loner. All the important ministers and fierce generals bow their heads under her skirt. The flying dragon is here. The sky, looking down upon the world, itself is full of the absurd and legendary color of martial arts novels.
The story revolves around her treacherous origin, the cruel and bloody road to the throne, her loneliness in the face of indulgence and lust, and her desire and pursuit of immortality when the throne of power becomes normal.
Frankly speaking, I really dare not write about Wu Zhao directly.
Writing and reading novels can be a kind of enjoyment. To me, the dark side of human nature is just a foil to the bright side. Martial arts novels are never realistic. Its unique genre allows the creator to think deeply and gallop freely, creating a new world. A moving world that makes people intoxicated.
Developing the world of the novel from Wu Zhao's point of view is bound to touch the dark corners of human nature that are unbearable, so we have to stay away from it.
It is the protagonist Long Ying who affects the development of the plot.
Do you know about a flower tree called "Drunken Hibiscus"? It has polygonal leaves and flowers as big as a palm. The strangest thing is that the flower is pure white at night and turns pink during the day. It seems that it is two different flowers.
The relationship between Wu Zhao and Long Ying is like the dual faces of the same flower, night and day, like the "drunken hibiscus", dark and bright. The struggle between them is tantamount to their own quarrel, and it is difficult to have clear boundaries, just like the night and day. Day’s entanglement.
Now can you get a vague outline from the above description? Probably not.
Wu Zhao went from Mei Niang, Cai Ren, Zhao Yi, Queen, Tian Hou, Holy Mother God Emperor to Holy God Emperor, from an insignificant little girl in the harem to being at the top of the power of the Celestial Dynasty.
Dragon Eagle was originally a living cauldron for the evil people of the Demon Sect to practice martial arts. A victim, a nobody, rose to become the evil emperor who arrogantly controls the world. He rose from nothing to become the core of power of the Zhou Dynasty and won the favor of the most outstanding beauties at home and abroad.
The journey of the female emperor and the evil emperor is exactly the same as it is unbelievable, but after all, it has become a self-justifying reality in the book. With the help of the background of the great era and the macroscopic beauty of history, it depicts the complicated and confusing relationship between the two emperors.
One of the moving realms in the novel is like reincarnation. When you plunge into it, forget everything, and experience life and death, joys and sorrows with the protagonist, just like what the storyteller Zhuo Kuangsheng said in "Legend of the Border": "You think it is...
If it’s true, it’s true; if you think it’s false, it’s false. True, false, that’s what life is all about.”
This is true of novels, and so is history.
