It’s been almost half a month since the Immortal Rebellion ended, and I’ve been saying that there will be a postscript, but I can’t remember how I feel about it. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is here, I sorted out my thoughts today and wrote a random talk first.
Xian Ni wrote 31 months, almost 1,000 days ago. Looking back, I feel a lot of emotion.
I still remember the first month of Xian Ni. I remember that my collection was only over 10,000, and subscriptions were all over the place. But Ergen did not give up. Instead, he drank beer, with red eyes, and told himself that even if he was a street purchase, he would still be able to do it.
His grandma wants to write the whole story.
I risked my life and wrote!
At that time, Er Gen was a new person. He was confused about the future and life. He always stared at the sky in a daze. He had many ideas and ideals, but in the end he saw that his beard was growing more and more, leaving only
have no choice.
I don’t want to give up, I want to persevere. This is what I told myself in June two and a half years ago.
The theme of Immortal Ni is Ni. For me, it is also a kind of Ni in struggle. I have to pursue it step by step. There are many hardships and confusions in it.
I still remember the abuse, I still remember the scolding, I still remember the vicious words, and I still remember a lot... But at the same time, I still remember your comfort, your heart-warming words...
There were several times when I looked at the familiar names in the book review section, looked at the more than 300 alliance leaders, and looked at the monthly ticket increases that increased again and again, and I shed tears of joy. Really, this is true.
Thank you, thank you all, thank you to every reader of Xianni, and thank you to the General League and Xianni for all the past deputy moderators for more than two years!
It can be said that as I continue to write Xian Ni, I am also growing, a kind of ideological growth. Wang Lin's Tao seems like I am writing my Tao.
Life and death, cause and effect, reincarnation, the true self.
These artistic conceptions are not in the outline, but are slowly pursued by Wang Lin and I as the article progresses. A person's life span is less than a hundred years, and only thoughts can swim freely. Thoughts are the symbol of human beings. I have always understood this
.
It took two and a half years, and I was very reluctant to let go. In the past few days after the end, I felt uncomfortable in my body, as if a string suddenly loosened after being stretched for more than two years, and my whole body suddenly became loose.
I am still coughing and feeling tight in my chest.
There will be many more than two years in a person's life, but I know that these two years that belong to me, I am very satisfied and happy because I have your company.
I have grown a lot with this book, from being unfamiliar at first to becoming proficient at the end. I have gained enlightenment almost every month, but I know that there are still flaws. For example, I am not sensitive to numbers and always make mistakes.
…
Many Taoist friends know this...
Often what I write is three layers at the beginning, and then I write four layers in a blink of an eye. I am also very depressed, because my memory has deceived me...
There are still many shortcomings of this kind, but I have written them down one by one, and will try to avoid them in the new book.
Even the broken sentences in Xian Ni often make people feel awkward when reading, but this is probably something that cannot be corrected...
Also, I remember that there was a lack of words, such as sneer, twinkling of eyes, cold snort, taking a step forward, etc. Words like these were used by me so often that I felt a little ashamed.
A book of more than 6 million words makes it difficult for Ergen to be perfect, so please don’t mind.
However, I also have advantages~~many, many advantages, haha.
At the very least, I think the character creation is pretty good. Not to mention every supporting character, but most of the supporting characters are quite successful, such as Situ, Qingshui, Hongdie, Zhou Yi, Shisan, Datou, etc.
This is where I'm very happy.
There are too many advantages, so I won’t mention them all one by one to praise myself, you know~
Generally speaking, shortcomings and advantages coexist. It is far from perfect, but it is my current limit. In the new book, I will try other methods to let myself grow and climb again. (The word "climbing" seems to be similar.
I used it a lot.)
There are a lot of things in the book "Xian Ni", and many of them were not filled in until the end. Even at the end, I dug some more. I considered this, but in the end I chose to stick to it.
I always think that a novel always needs to have some regrets, if not about the characters, then about the plot. In fact, some of the answers can be found in the text and in thinking.
For example, one of the Tianni beads is missing. In fact, the answer was given in the end. The missing one is Tianyunzi.
For example, for the so-called white beads, there must be black beads. These two kinds of beads, black and white, are also given an answer on the chessboard in the last chapter.
For example, the earliest incense was poisonous. I also gave an explanation to the mourning tribe, but I didn't say it directly.
There are many more, such as Donglin Sect, there are answers in the article.
However, there are indeed some murmurs, and I have no conclusion. I want to leave these stories to Wang Lin, who accompanied Li Qianmei on Xiangang Continent, to unravel them.
Or maybe there are some hidden mysteries in the cave world, which I plan to leave to Wang Lin, who is accompanying Mu Bingmei, to find them.
Similarly, I have left two questions for you fellow Taoists. The first one is about Wang Lin.
Wang Lin exists beside Li Muwan, Li Qianmei, and Mu Bingmei, but which one is the real him? I think most Taoist friends must agree that it is Li Muwan.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe this is not the correct answer.
Either it's really Li Muwan, or it's not...
Of course, if not, then Wang Lin's persistence in fighting in this life seems a bit absurd, but there are some things, we are not Wang Lin, and we don't know the truth.
At least I couldn't tell the difference clearly. I rationally believed that Wang Lin was the one who followed Li Muwan. But when I thought of Li Qianmei's story and Mu Bingmei's story, I suddenly became confused. Which one was the one?
It's him.
I want to bring this confusion to all of you fellow Taoists.
If you were Wang Lin, which one of these three women would you choose to stay with?
The answer is different for everyone.
What I want is that fellow Taoists who like Li Qianmei, you will think that he who stays with Li Qianmei is the real Wang Lin. In the same way, fellow Taoists who like Mu Bingmei, I hope you will firmly believe that,
The real Wang Lin stayed in the cave world where he was born and raised.
I also hope that fellow Taoists who like Li Muwan can believe without hesitation that the one who left was Wang Lin.
No answer, I don't have...
Perhaps, only Wang Lin and himself know this unanswerable answer.
This is Ergen's first truly completed work, and it is also the first Xianxia novel. I always feel that Xianxia novels have no ending. I don't like jokes about Wang Lin becoming the number one person in the universe.
What I want to write about is a person of flesh and blood, a man who goes against the will of heaven all the way for the rebellion in his heart.
There is no end to cultivating immortality, so I wrote that there are still steps four, five, six, and perhaps more. It is a long road.
This represents people's pursuit and perseverance, as well as an ideal ascent and vision. Like the pace of progress, eternal life will not stop and will keep going.
Immortal Ni is only a part of Wang Lin's life, the earliest part. After that, he will have more lives, but this part of his life is not reflected in books, but swims in our imagination.
I like to think, and I hope you can fantasize about it accidentally, when you are bored, or after being touched. It will be very happy.
The starry sky is huge. Looking up at the night sky at night, I know that Wang Lin is just a story, but the reverse in him is what I lack. Therefore, I will write such a character to tell myself, remind myself, and let myself
Longing.
I am on the Internet and everyone is.
Like the game of chess at the end...the question and answer.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood."
However, Wang Lin understands, the guardian understands, but I still don’t understand.
Life is like a dream.
This is the first miscellany, there will be two more, and there may be postscripts of other characters. I can’t guarantee it, but as long as I have a feeling, I will write it down.
For example, Situ, Qingshui, Hongdie, Zhou Yi, Shisan, Zhou Ru, etc...
Although I spend less time online, I am still with you fellow Taoists.
