Chapter 506: Reversal of the Plot
Jing Yuan stopped when he said this. Xiao Qingyi rubbed his hands and said, "If your statement is true, the plot should be reversed after he gets in the car!" ”
Jing Yuan said: "The protagonist of "Galaxy Train" is the same as Xin Taiyong, and he is also an unambitious author. His boarding of the Galactic Train was actually an escape, an attempt to escape from some of the circumstances. Therefore, he believes that only the Galaxy Train can take him out of reality. ”
So, he forcibly overlooked a lot of details. Or rather, he has been deceiving himself into believing that the Galactic Train is a special train to the Dawn, and when the train reaches the Bright Galaxy, there will always be a star that belongs to him. ”
Xiao Qingyi said, "Isn't that good?"
"You're wrong!" Jing Yuan said: "These things seem to be very good, but in fact, when the protagonist gets in the car, the whole story begins to slowly reverse." ”
Jing Yuan said: "The reversal of the story can be compared to a building that is about to collapse, the author can have let it collapse in an instant, or let him collapse slowly, until the lower floor of the building can no longer bear the weight above, and the terrible disaster will really come." ”
"The former design can be unexpected, but it can be abrupt. It is not suitable for pure suspense novels. The latter setting seems to be a waste of pen and ink, and even makes some readers lose patience, but in fact, it makes people who really like suspense stories feel like they are peeling off the cocoon. Shin Taiyong clearly chose the second path. ”
"All of Shin Taiyong's descriptions after the protagonist gets on the train are to let the reader confirm step by step that there are no living people in the Galaxy Train except for the protagonist, and the passengers who travel with him are either corpses or resentful spirits. ”
Jing Yuan said this, picked up the pen and drew on the manuscript she had translated: "Look here, the protagonist waits for the bell while the train is moving. His next action is to touch his hair, which means that the protagonist thinks about the reason for his hair disappearance. ”
Xiao Qingyi smiled: "You think too much, what is the connection between the bell and the hair? Besides, it's not normal for the station to have a bell." ”
Jing Yuan shook a finger and said, "You have been misled by the word bell." The clock you are talking about should be a Western clock. When trains spread from Europe to Asia, many old-style train stations would build large grandfather clocks above the stations to remind passengers of boarding times. The bell in this novel is easily misunderstood. This is also the author's deliberate attempt to mislead the reader. ”
Jing Yuan stared at Xiao Qingyi and said, "When I said the bell, it is the bronze bell in the temple. I just happened to know that there is a ghost named the Doseiji Temple Bell in Oriental legend. ”
Jingyuan said: "The legend of Daoseongji Temple has been spread in the East for a long time, and according to legend, in ancient times, there was a woman named Kiyohime who fell in love with the monk An Zhen who went to Kumano to worship the Bodhisattva. ”
As a monk, An Zhen left her a Buddha statue after spending the night with Qing Ji. It means that he is devoted to the Buddha and can't be with her, so he resolutely left Qingji. ”
For the sake of her beloved, Qing Ji traveled thousands of miles to pursue An Zhen, and suffered a lot along the way, and when she finally caught up with An Zhen, she no longer looked like a human being, and a ghost was not like a ghost. An Zhen saw that Qing Ji was so frightened that she ran away, and Qing Ji chased after her all the way. Ahn Jin rushed to cross a large river, and when Kiyohime chased after her, there was no boat, but she still jumped into the river, and turned into a big snake and continued to chase ashore. ”
An Zhen ran to the "Daocheng Temple", but the snake also chased after it, and the monks in the temple couldn't deal with the snake, so they hid An Zhen in the big bell, and Qing Ji quickly knew where he was hiding after chasing in, and immediately entangled the big bell. ”
Helplessly, the big bell was strong, and Qing Ji couldn't find An Zhen, but she didn't want to give up, so she spontaneously combusted, burning herself and the monks in the bell into black charcoal. If you can't live with your beloved, you will die together. ”
Jing Yuan said: "Orientals think this is a poignant story, but I think it's a scumbag meeting an infatuated girl." But I don't understand a little, according to the end of the story, Kiyohime was burned to ashes. An Zhen, who was hiding in the bell, also became a pile of white bones. The grievances between them should be over, why does another ghost appear after the story - the bell of the temple?"
"The bell of the temple is just a bell. But it can turn people into monks and make people forget everything before. Don't you think this story is weird?"
Xiao Qingyi shook his head and said, "I don't think there's anything strange, maybe it's because the bell is tainted with resentment." ”
Jing Yuan stared at Xiao Qingyi and said, "Qingji, you got in the car because you wanted to find An Zhen, right?"
Xiao Qingyi suddenly looked up at Jing Yuanjian, and the pupils of his eyes rose upside down like a python: "How do you know that I am Qingji?"
Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Not only do I know that you are Qing Ji, I also know that you can't move anymore." ”
"Nonsense!" Qingji's arms trembled, all the clothes on her body were torn, the broken strips of cloth were like snowflakes falling all over the sky, and a cyan python also broke free from the broken clothes.
As soon as the python's figure was erected from the seat, Jing Yuan flipped upside down from the chair, and stood in the distance over several seats in a row. The giant python that was originally standing on the seat pressed towards the table in the middle of the two seats, and the table that was too square was suddenly crushed by the python body, and the hanging python head also pressed on the back of the chair, and looked at the distant Jingyuan in the distance.
At the beginning, the head of the giant python was still on the face of Xiao Qingyi, and in the next moment, the beautiful face that was enough to make people's hearts was cracked in the middle, and the white and tender human skin was torn into two sides from the middle by the triangular python head, and the hideous giant python was all exposed in front of Jing Yuan's eyes.
Qing Ji sneered: "Jing Yuan, you shouldn't have demolished me when you were alone, what other skills do you have besides using a gun? Chen Ye is not here, your bullets can't even penetrate my scales, what else can you do? I will only turn men into monks, and as for women, I can only fill my stomach." ”
Qing Ji swallowed out the snake letter in her mouth between words, and the slightest sound was aimed at the direction of Jing Yuan, and the next moment, Qing Ji bounced up like a sharp arrow, and pounced on Jing Yuan in the distance through a few chairs, Qing Ji's half of the snake body was still twisting in the air, and then opened a huge mouth, and two dagger-like fangs suddenly rose in front of Jing Yuan, and aimed at Jing Yuan's forehead steadily.
Jing Yuan stood in place for a long time, quietly watching the python head like an arrow rushing towards him.
The moment the fishy breath in the giant python's mouth came with the wind, half of the python's body was stretched into a straight line in the air, and the hideous python head was dragged and stopped not far from Jingyuan.
Jing Yuan said lightly: "I said that you can't move." ”
