Written before 'Linyuan Xing' was put on the shelves
The Year of the Pig has passed and the Year of the Rat has come.
I don’t know if you still love me. Ever since I learned that the Year of the Pig has passed, I have been worried that my book friends will cruelly turn the house pigs into roast pigs or slaughtered pigs for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Zhai Zhu is no longer young. He is an old man who has been running around for four years. His meat is not as juicy as that of a new pig. His meat is full of strength, tenacity and vigor.
He is an old pig who types a little slowly. His thinking cannot keep up with when he was young, and his hand speed is not as fast as before.
He has some inflammation around his shoulders and cervical vertebrae, and his cervical vertebrae are also somewhat deformed due to lying in front of the computer typing for a long time.
He is a middle-aged old pig.
Because he was worried that his body would not be able to bear it, he quit smoking.
He will use his brightest brain to prepare a new book, "Lin Yuan Xing".
His ambition is still very big, and he firmly believes that the ambition will lead to the greatest achievement (from "Emperor"), and he plans to write a fantasy world that has never been written before in "Lin Yuan Xing" (yes, this is it)
Go ahead, I don’t want to rest on my laurels).
In this fantasy world, classical China has never experienced the Opium War, classical Chinese culture has never experienced the invasion of foreign cultures, and Zhai Zhu calls this country Yuanshuo.
Yuan Shuo is taken from the reign name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shuo is used to describe this classical country.
This fantasy world is full of all kinds of incredible supernatural powers, all kinds of incredible spiritual weapons and weapons. But more importantly, productivity determines the social, economic, and political forms of this world. Therefore, when refining weapons,
After the construction of buildings, tall buildings that were unimaginable in the ancient feudal era can rise from the ground!
Moreover, this kind of building architecture is not like the current high-rise buildings that go straight up and down. The buildings in Yuanshuo are classical, such as Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower, and Tengwang Pavilion.
It has the grandeur and elegance of a palace, with the idea of carving dragons and paintings of phoenixes, and has brackets that are not found in contemporary buildings. It has pillar squares, rafters and wings, ridged animals, and immortals riding cranes.
It is not a Western-style building, but it can rise from the ground into the sky and live with the gods!
It is surrounded by cloud bridges. People walk on the clouds, and giant beasts carrying small buildings on their backs also walk on the bridges in the clouds. People sit in the small buildings and can see the scenery in the sky.
This bridge is not a viaduct either.
The bridge is like a corridor in a classical building, like a bridge over the calm water in the Suzhou and Hangzhou water towns. It has wide eaves to protect it from wind and rain, and cars can drive smoothly underneath it.
It must also conform to mechanics and aesthetics.
This city in a fantasy world also fully displays the beauty of classical culture.
The world in Zhai Zhu's imagination is encountering the invasion of foreign enemies and foreign cultures. It is undergoing a transformation. It has its own stubborn diseases and ineradicable decay.
Its internal strata have been solidified, and the path for promotion for ordinary people has become extremely slim, just like it is as slim for a spiritual person to become an immortal.
At this time, within it, some people are conservative and stubborn, some are trying to change, some are radical, and there are also conspirators secretly planning unexpected things.
It was also at this time that Qiu Shuijing, a down-and-out teacher from Dongdu, walked to the uninhabited land of Tianshiyuan and met a little blind man, Su Yun, who was attending classes in the Fox Lecture Hall.
At this time, the curtain about this world opened.
"when--"
The bell above Su Yun's head rang, and the story of our journey to the abyss began, accompanying the protagonist as he walked towards the abyss.
However, pigs think very well; pigs are too stupid.
When Zhaizhu uploaded the first chapter of Linyuan Xing, he already had thirty or forty chapters saved. After a month and a half of unremitting efforts, he finally only had six chapters left!
That’s right, six chapters!
During this period, he deleted the manuscript no less than ten times, deleting it in large strokes. He was not satisfied with the plot he had conceived and the wording of his words, so he revised it tirelessly and strived for excellence.
But he is too stupid, and his middle-aged little brain is not very flexible. Sometimes he will suffer from insomnia until the middle of the night, and suddenly an inspiration comes to him, so he quietly turns on the computer with his clothes on in the middle of the winter night.
Write until dawn;
Sometimes he would sit helplessly in front of the computer, tugging at his few hairs;
Sometimes he doesn't shave for five or six days, and his face looks haggard;
He sometimes loses his temper with his wife because his train of thought is interrupted;
He is autistic most of the time, turning off the sound of his mobile phone and not wanting to pay attention to anyone's greetings. He has become disgusted with WeChat and QQ;
He sometimes trembles with fear, worrying that he will throw himself into the street in middle age and lie on the street at Qidian, with his body still twitching and being stepped on by those who come after him;
Sometimes he would desperately search for readers’ comments and try to understand their thoughts;
Sometimes he feels that he is really old, a middle-aged pig, and doubts his ability to create.
Honey.
This is how I have come through this past month and a half. I am such a homebody.
Lin Yuanxing, I want to write better, I want to write deeper, I want to surpass myself, and I want to get rid of the influence of my former self.
I think too much.
Later, I figured it out.
I can surpass myself, but I don't have to get rid of my former self.
I was who I was before middle age, and I am who I am now.
I should break through and transcend on the basis of my former self, rather than separate myself.
Suddenly I remembered that during the Qidian annual meeting, there was a live media interview. The host asked me, what kind of book do you want to write about Linyuan Xing?
I thought about it and answered, I want to write a novel where fantasy shines into reality, and I want to write a novel where reality shines into fantasy.
In this book, you can find ancient times, people with lofty ideals in history, the present, China and foreign countries, and you and me.
It is fantasy, but it also has reality.
Yes, the Year of the Pig has passed, do you still love me?
I still love you and create.
Pig is middle-aged, losing his hair and anxious, but his mind has not changed!
My love for creation has never changed!
The trip to the abyss is not only Su Yun’s journey to the abyss, but also a journey to the abyss for Zhai Zhu!
Tonight, at 24 o'clock, Linyuanxing will be put on the shelves.
I'm a stupid idiot, but I'm going to have a good time. Two chapters with more than 8,000 words will be updated early this morning. One chapter will be updated at noon and evening on the 1st. We are waiting for you!!
At the beginning of the book's release, monthly tickets are crucial to the new book. I hope fellow Taoists will stay and support the middle-aged but unyielding otakus.
