Chapter 339: Sou Shen Ji

The authors of neo-mythology are often both homemakers and anonymous mythologists, and their rich knowledge of mythology has strengthened their literary imagination.

If you want to write such myths, you have to read them thoroughly!

There is also a tendency of non-academic jokes in China, that is, blindly catering to the interests of mass readers, one-sidedly pursuing market sales, and the cultural content in the works is not high.

There is no precise definition of what myth is, the history of mythology is too long, in ancient times, human clans, tribes, and the first peoples around the world were constantly exposed to various natural phenomena and began to have their own lives.

Many unexplained phenomena and incomprehensible situations have been visualized by primitive people through their own wisdom, and passed on from generation to generation through word of mouth. Mythology is a kind of story that has been produced since ancient times, and the main character is usually a god.

But the myth has not died out, it has appeared in front of people with a new attitude, what Zhang Chu wants to do is to capture this primitive intention that still exists in the minds of modern people, fully excavate them, and transform them into something that modern people can understand and accept!

Zhang Chu did not want to learn the fantasy of medieval magic and modern technology in Western new mythology, nor did he want to have the fantasy of medieval Buddhism, Taoism, religion and sword immortals in classical Chinese mythology.

He thinks the term "oriental fantasy" is very good, starting from the more ancient local myths, picking some beautiful and well-known keywords, as well as the state apparatus and individual rangers operating in the fantasy land.

The more national, the more global, this kind of thing will never be covered by the rest of the world's peoples.

The legends in front of him, such as Chi You, the Yellow Emperor, and Shennong being elected as the co-masters of mankind, made Zhang Chu think of a work, that is, "Sou Shen Ji"!

The "Sou Shen Ji" he said was not the one written by the Eastern Jin Dynasty historian Gan Bao, but the beginning of the wild trilogy written by the wild fox under the tree.

Gan Bao's "Sou Shen Ji" recorded many legendary strange stories, and the more famous ones are the cadres Mo Xie, Li Ji, Han Ping and his wife, Wu Wang Xiaonu, Dong Yong and so on.

The "Sou Shen Ji" that netizens can generally access is the work of the wild fox under the tree, and the last part of the wild trilogy has not been written until Zhang Chu is reborn, and it has to be said that there is a lot of resentment!

The book was written in 2001, far from the explosion of online literature, and due to publicity and other reasons, subsequent readers seem to have never heard of the book or thought it was outdated.

But these two books have their own unique places, the layout is quite grand, not confined to one school, and the world view is magnificent.

This is taken from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the scene description is very exciting, and readers who have seen it have a vivid memory of all kinds of strange beasts and deletions in secret, what mermaids, poor Qi, Bi Fang, what Qingqiu Mountain, Zixu Mountain.

Moreover, the author's characters in the wild fox under the tree have a unique inner portrayal, many of the characters in it have distinct personalities and different personalities, from Tuoba Ye, Qiao Chiyou, Concubine Yu, Yan Zisu to Ji Yuanxuan, Red Pine Nuts are all vivid and three-dimensional!

What are the ten gods of the Great Wilderness, what are the emperors of the world, what are the five holy women, and the ten demon girls are all dizzying, if they are placed in ordinary fantasy works, these titles sound simply embarrassing, but they feel very appropriate in "Sou Shen Ji".

It draws on the strengths of others, blends mythology, magic, martial arts, romance, geography, humanities, and encouragement, and recreates the flood era of the origin of Chinese civilization with epic brushstrokes, and reconstructs the magnificent and majestic martial arts myth!

Not only readers, but also those discerning critics are conquered by the vast ideas, strange behaviors, magnificent writing, witty delays, and ups and downs of the plot, which is not only a pure entertainment work, but also a part of the broad and profound Chinese culture, and has become a strong stroke in the history of fantasy literature!

Sou Shen Ji also established the supreme status of one of the two fantasy kings of the new generation of the wild fox under the tree, and became the founder of oriental neo-mythological fantasy!

Zhang Chu was a little embarrassed when he thought of this, when he was in junior high school, "Zhu Xian" and "Sou Shen Ji" were almost every boy's work that was circulated by every boy.

But in the year of rebirth, "Sou Shen Ji" only existed in the hearts of old bookworms, and "Zhu Xian" had been made into Qingyunzhi and was scolded a lot, but it still attracted new readers to join.

"Let's write a new book, let's write "Sou Shen Ji", and see how this book is!" Zhang Chu muttered to himself, this is a small selfishness, he wants to see his favorite works shine again in the other world.

The story of "Sou Shen Ji" is actually very simple, in the legendary era of the three emperors and five emperors, with the death of the world's recognized leader Shennong, all ethnic groups are ready to move, and a young man inherits the mantle of Shennong.

The wind and clouds are surging in the Great Wilderness, and the Mirage City, which does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Great Wilderness, is broken by the first great god of the Water Tribe, the Candle Dragon, with a conspiracy, and the young master of the Mirage City, Qiao Chiyou, and the protagonist Tuoba Ye began to flee.

Many legendary characters appear in it, bloody wars, power struggles, and intrigues, these scenes are particularly exquisite and very closely conceived!

Triggered by a very small matter, and finally turned into a shocking conspiracy, interlocking, with few loopholes, this kind of thinking and layout ability is beyond Zhang Chu's reach, and it is also a place that he needs to learn.

The wild fox under the tree has a fictional world, which is incomparably huge, but there is a conspiracy hidden behind any of the characters, and they have their own stories, so that the reader's heart can't stop beating at all.

In addition to the moving plot, "Sou Shen Ji" is not inferior to everyone in ancient and modern times in the description of family, friendship, and love.

When Zhang Chu watched this one, he was moved by the characters in it more than once, the women in this great wilderness have outstanding hearts, and the stories in it are singing and crying.

Tuoba Ye and Qiao Chiyou are close friends in life and death, support each other, and share weal and woe, Chiyou and Yan Zisu have an unending relationship, the rain concubine who is the head of the ten demon girls in the Great Wilderness loves deeply, Gu Shooting Fairy is naturally beautiful and poignant and touching, and the Qingdi is not inspired by much pen and ink, but under the shaping of a few strokes, many readers remember this wild and uninhibited person.

Of course, all kinds of gorgeous and ancient poems and words in it are also evocative, and the single "Instant Fanghua Song" makes people cry.

After all, he watched it a long, long time ago, and now his memory is a little unreal, he doesn't remember the specific plot and text, but fortunately he still has a helper!
