Ji Province, an ordinary community in a certain city
Shui Mingming edited the 8,000 words he wrote today into four chapters and sent them out. Then he stretched out comfortably, got up from the computer desk, took a water glass and went to the living room to get water.
After receiving the water, I went directly to the sofa in the living room and sat down, turned on the TV, glanced at the time, and tuned directly to Dongshan Satellite TV to wait for the finale of "Lotus Lantern" tonight.
Shui Mingming is a well-known full-time online article writer. His daily routine is to get up, code, eat, code, and sleep.
In her spare time, she went to the Internet to watch dramas. She initially watched "Lotus Lantern" because of her cousin Shui Miaomiao.
Of course, Shui Mingming recognized this cousin herself, and Shui Miaomiao probably knew that she was a cousin.
This is not Shui Mingming's random relationship. The two families are indeed relatives, but their relationship has been out of touch for a long time, and they have no contact since their grandfather's generation.
To say they are distant relatives is barely enough.
However, Shui clearly doesn't care and cannot write two characters for "water" in one stroke.
After Shui Miaomiao became famous, she accidentally learned that the two of them had the same ancestry, so she checked the relevant genealogy information. After confirming that they were indeed from the same family, she decided that Shui Miaomiao, a big star, was her cousin.
.
Shui Mingming didn't want to climb high. She didn't contact Shui Miaomiao after finding out the information. She just treated it as gossip among friends.
I usually use it to show off: the big star Shui Miaomiao is my cousin!
Then gain a circle of envious and jealous eyes, satisfy your vanity, and that's it.
It's similar to those who like to dig up family trees and find the ancestors of famous people. Basically, they just want to brag, and the purpose is very simple.
For this reason, Shui Mingming has always been very concerned about his cousin's career and is considered a loyal fan.
Shui Miaomiao usually provides some support for any works and peripherals Shui Miaomiao has, if conditions permit.
This was the case with the drama "Lotus Lantern". She heard that Shui Miaomiao had a guest role as Guanyin in it, so she searched it online.
At that time, "Lotus Lantern" was halfway through, and Shui Mingming finished it on Penguin Video in one go.
The Guanyin played by her cousin Shui Miaomiao didn't appear in a few scenes, but she was fascinated by the Erlang Shen played by Jiao Jun, and then naturally fell into "Lotus Lantern", watching the updates every day to follow the show.
She had been following the updates online before, and until today's finale, she couldn't wait to turn on the TV to catch up.
She wanted to see if her guess was correct...
………
As an online writer, making up stories is a specialty, so sometimes when Shui Mingming watches a drama, he will instinctively act as a screenwriter and speculate on the subsequent plot based on the plot arrangement.
Many ordinary viewers also have this habit, but few can guess the idea.
Due to professional reasons, Shui Mingming can often accurately judge the screenwriter's arrangements, becoming the kind of audience that the screenwriter hates the most.
Shui Mingming also knows that this is not pleasing to the eye, and she tries to save others by herself. If the pitfalls in her writing are guessed by readers in advance, her creative enthusiasm will definitely be greatly affected.
It is also unfriendly to other readers. It will be spoiled in advance and the sense of anticipation will be weakened.
Therefore, although Shui Mingming can often guess the direction of film and television plots, he rarely resorts to it verbally. He just treats it as a habitual hobby of watching dramas to entertain himself.
It was the same this time. When she was watching "Lotus Lantern", she discovered that Erlang Shen, the villain, had all kinds of doubts hidden in him.
For example: Erlang Shen's purpose of doing evil is to consolidate his position, but in this case, there is no need to commit evil everywhere, offend everyone, and have a very bad reputation.
It stands to reason that Erlang Shen should not make such a low-level mistake with the tactics and methods he showed in the play.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Erlang Shen deliberately created himself as a lonely minister to gain the trust of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
But there is no need to push himself completely into a dead end, and his methods are too ruthless and do not take into account the impact at all. Even his subordinates have complained about it.
If he wanted to be a lonely minister again, he would just treat outsiders. His subordinates should at least remain loyal, but in the end Erlangshen didn't even care about this.
No matter how you look at it, it's a bit fishy.
Also, Erlangshen was suspected of deliberately letting off steam during the fight with the enemy.
A 50-50 fight with Sun Wukong is normal.
A 50-50 split with Nezha is justifiable.
It's a bit too much to fight Zhu Bajie and not be able to defeat him for a while.
The odds are 50-50 against the Bull Demon King and his son alone, but with the addition of the Eight Prince, the odds are still 50-50.
Coupled with the addition of cloves and agarwood, they fought against five and barely managed to retreat, but they retreated very calmly.
As for the duel against agarwood, it was full of doubts from beginning to end.
I didn’t mention it before Chenxiang became a disciple of Sun Wukong. After Chenxiang became a disciple of Sun Wukong, he gained the strength to fight Erlang Shen.
The first time I faced Erlang Shen, the two were evenly matched.
After taking Taishang Laojun's ax and having a weapon, the fight with Erlang Shen is still a 50-50 split.
After part of the elixir's medicinal power was digested and their strength increased greatly, the two of them were still about 50-50 apart.
Basically, the difference between uncle and nephew depends on the lotus lantern. Whoever has the lotus lantern wins.
"..."
At first, Shui Mingming thought it was because the difference in combat power in the TV series was not obvious. Later, as the show became more frequent, he gradually realized something was wrong.
Erlangshen is definitely not a simple villain. There may be something hidden behind this. Maybe Erlangshen will eventually rebel...
With this idea in mind, Shui Mingming also got into a dispute when discussing the plot with several author friends who were also fans of "Lotus Lantern".
The other party said that she had a fan filter for Erlang Shen and tried to find ways to explain his various despicable instincts. These doubts mentioned by Shui Mingming cannot be used as evidence in a strict sense.
If Erlangshen was really not a villain, why did he torture Sun Wukong so miserably, and why did he kill the fourth princess and destroy her soul and soul?
These numerous evil deeds cannot be washed away no matter how hard they are washed away.
Shui Mingming was a little hesitant by his friend's words, but after Ding Xiang died, he was completely relieved.
Today's finale, she stayed on the TV to watch the finale in advance, also wanting to see if her guess was personal or based on the screenwriter's clues.
At 8 p.m., the 35th and penultimate episode of "Lotus Lantern" officially starts airing.
The plot continues from the above, Ding Xiang dies, the Eight Princes and the Meishan brothers surround Erlang Shen, and then Nezha, Bull Demon King, Red Boy, Sun Wukong and others who come from heaven also join the siege.
Erlangshen was outnumbered and was knocked down by the river, vomiting blood. Chenxiang planned to kill Erlangshen with her own hands to avenge Dingxiang.
Finally, at Erlangshen's request, the uncle and nephew started a decisive battle one on one. Erlangshen was defeated and was knocked into the river again. Erlangshen accepted his fate and prepared to die calmly.
The Eighth Prince was holding a rake and was about to avenge his sister and Lilac. As soon as he went down with the rake, he was stopped by the barking dog.
"Don't kill my master."
Roaring Sky Dog pulled Erlang Shen with an anxious look on his face: "Master, why don't you tell the truth?"
Erlang Shen had a complex expression on his face: "The price of all this is too great, too great for me to bear and repay, so I can only be freed by death."
"Howling Sky Dog, let's go quickly."
"I don't."
"Agarwood, everything Roaring Sky Dog did was my order. You can kill me, but please spare his life."
Roaring Sky Dog wanted to say more, but Erlang Shen grabbed him by the waist and threw him out.
————
Shui Mingming, who was watching TV, saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost jumped out of the sofa.
Sure enough, I guessed it right, and there was a big twist in the ending...
