Chapter 596: The Original Outline and Closing Remarks of "The Eye of the Book".
"Book Eye" ends today. The current ending is the end of the castrated version, because more than half of the content has not been presented.
Briefly introduce the original overall concept of "Book Eye".
"Book Eye" is positioned to be written as a "poker novel".
The so-called "playing card novel" means that each plot in the novel is like a playing card, which can be shuffled and rearranged. Each new arrangement of the plot forms a new novel, and the logic of these novels can be self-consistent.
In an ordinary novel, its plots are arranged in normal order: Plot 1→ Plot 2→ Plot 3→ Plot 4......
And the playing card novel, its plot arrangement is more than one, it can be arranged in 1234, it can also be arranged in the order of 1243, 2134, 2342, 3124, 3214, 4123 and so on.
Since the plot sequence of a poker novel can be shuffled at will, it means that the "timeline" of the novel can also be shuffled at will.
That is, there is no "fixed order" timeline for poker-style novels. Its timeline is determined by the order of the episodes, and it has no specific time of its own.
"Book Eye" is positioned as a poker novel, therefore, "Book Eye" does not appear from beginning to end with a description of "specific time", and I don't know exactly what year, month, and day the story in the novel takes place.
For example, there are no specific time descriptions like "2016", "2017" and "March 2015" in "Book Eye", only vague and relative time descriptions such as "a few days later", "a month later", "half a year later" and "the night of the full moon".
The reason why there is no specific time description is because "Book Eye" is a poker novel, its timeline is determined by the order of the plot, it is a kind of "relative" time, not a specific specific time.
According to the original outline, "Book Eye" has a total of 16 major plots, and each big plot is a playing card, therefore, "Book Eye" has a total of 16 playing cards.
The plots of the 16 cards can be arranged at will, and the timeline will be different depending on the order of arrangement.
For example, the original plot sequence was: Tianhai City→ Yufeng Story City→ Sun Moon Island→ Spiritual District→ Reincarnation Hall......
After the reorder, it can become: Hall of Reincarnation→ Tianhai City→ Yufeng Story City→ Sun Moon Island→ Spiritual District......
The order of the plot is changed, and so is the timeline of the novel. There are as many timelines as there are plot arrangements.
If it is 2 playing cards, the number of plot permutations is 2;
If it is 3 playing cards, the number of plot permutations is 6;
"Book Eye" has 16 playing cards, and the number of plot arrangements reaches 20922789888000.
Among the 20922789888000 permutations, only one of them is in the correct order, which is the real plot of "Book Eye", and the other permutations are all wrong. (The order of the plots of "Book Eye" that you see now is also wrongly arranged.) )
Only by sorting out the correct order of the 16-card plot of "Book Eye" and finding the correct timeline can you get into "Book Eye". If the episodes are in the wrong order, you won't be able to get involved.
Liu Xing, the Four Book Kings, and the Book Demon all arranged the playing cards with all their might in order to enter the "Book Eye", and they respectively arranged three different plot sequences: the Four Book Kings discharged the plot order A, the Book Demon discharged the plot order B, and Liu Xing discharged the plot sequence C.
In addition to this, there is the plot sequence that the reader reads, which is plot sequence D.
Among the four sorts of ABCD, as long as the order C of Liu Xing's discharge is correct, the other three sorts are wrong.
However, the four plot sequences of ABCD are logically valid, and the difficulty of the conception of "Book Eye" lies here.
The four plot sequences should be logically established at the same time, which means that the plot of each playing card must have four different logics, or four different ways of interpretation.
To make it easier for you to understand, let me give you an example.
In the Hundred Birds Forest, Samsara Jun once taught Wang Lanlan the twenty-four potentials of "Plot Wave". After the transmission, Samsara-kun died. Wang Lanlan was very sad, she once asked Liu Xing, wondering if Samsara-jun was Liu Xing's doppelganger? At that time, Liu Xing did not answer this question directly, but sold the guanzi and let Wang Lanlan guess by herself.
The reason why Liu Xing does not answer this question head-on is because there are four answers to this question.
Because this plot needs to be true in the four different plot sequences of ABCD, this means that there are four different answers to the question "Is Samsara-kun a doppelganger of Liu Xing", which are as follows:
In plot sequence A, the answer is "Samsara-jun is Liu Xing's doppelganger, but Samsara-jun is fake";
In plot sequence B, the answer is "Samsara-jun is Liu Xing's doppelganger, and Samsara-jun is real";
In plot sequence C, the answer is "Reincarnation Jun is not Liu Xing's doppelganger, but Reincarnation Jun is real";
In plot sequence D, the answer is "Samsara-kun is not Liu Xing's doppelganger, and Samsara-kun is fake";
There are four different answers to this question in four episode sequences. In order to ensure that the four rankings are valid at the same time, Liu Xing could not give any clear answer.
Therefore, when Wang Lanlan asked "whether Reincarnation Jun is Liu Xing's doppelganger", Liu Xing could only play tricks and be ambiguous, without a clear answer.
There are many more examples of such vague descriptions, and the same is true of "fuzzy time" mentioned above.
In fact, the entire book deals with similar issues from beginning to end.
The plot of the 16 playing cards in "Book Eye" needs to be established in four plot sequences at the same time, and four different plot lines must be discharged. The four plot lines need to use the same plot to complete four different foreshadowings, four different internal logics, and four different plot directions.
The plot of the whole book is reticulated, and it is a dynamic reticulation, and a plot will have four different sequences, and the amount of thinking it will take is about equal to the amount of thinking that goes into conceiving four novels at the same time.
As a result, I spent most of my time perfecting the logic of the four plot sequences.
I wrote about 5.5 million words in my last book, and its plot outline was written in a mind map, with a total capacity of only 17M. And the plot outline of "Book Eye" has now exceeded the capacity of 100M.
When I wrote about the plot of Paradise Story City, I realized that if "Book Eye" was to be written in its entirety and present the characteristics of a poker novel, it would need at least 7 million words, which is the most conservative estimate.
Since I have to move bricks during the day, if I insist on completing 7 million words, it is estimated that it will take two years. After thinking about it carefully, I decided that it would be better to wrap it up.
So, after the plot of Paradise Story City ends, the plot directly shifts to prehistoric civilization, begins to fill the pit with violence, and then the timeline is pulled back to modern civilization, forming a closed loop and ending quickly.
So, there is the plot you see now.
The large framework of 16 playing cards originally conceived in "Book Eye" was not presented in the end.
In fact, the current "Book Eye" can still be regarded as a poker novel, but its number of playing cards is not 16, but 2.
One playing card is "Modern Civilization" and the other is "Prehistoric Civilization", and the order of the two playing cards can be arranged at will, for a total of 2 plot sequences.
This is the simplest model of a poker novel, consisting of only 2 playing cards, and its structure is much simpler than that of 16 playing cards.
Although the structure is simple, the characteristics of the poker novel are basically reflected. For example, the issue of the timeline being disrupted.
The timeline can be: prehistoric civilization → modern civilization.
The timeline can also be: modern civilization → prehistoric civilization.
As a result, the past can become the future, the future can become the past, time is reversed, cause and effect are also reversed, which will lead to the occurrence of many bizarre phenomena, which are the core plot of the later stage of "Book Eye" - anti-logic.
The concept of anti-logic is mentioned at the beginning, but it has never been explained in depth, mainly because anti-logic is a product of the worldview of "Shuyan". The anti-logical plot can only unfold after showing the world background of the poker novel, which is the main plot of the later part of the novel.
The anti-logic, simply put, is that the order of the timelines is reversed.
For example, in the normal timeline, couples will fight first before they get pregnant.
When the timeline is disrupted, it will become a couple who conceives first and then fights.
The order is reversed.
For another example, it was supposed that the father should be born first and the son second. After the timeline is disrupted, the son will be born first, and then the father will be born again, and the son will be older than the father.
For another example, he was supposed to take medicine when he was sick. After the timeline is disrupted, it will become the first to take medicine and regenerate.
Phenomena like this kind of anti-logic are all evidence that the world of "Book Eye" is a poker novel, and Liu Xing found that the timeline of the world was disrupted through this anti-logical phenomenon.
In the original outline, there was such a plot.
One day, Zhang Yaxin suddenly told Liu Xing that she was pregnant. Liu Xing was very strange at that time, because he hadn't gooxx with Zhang Yaxin yet, how could Zhang Yaxin be pregnant?
Later, Liu Xingyi investigated and found that it was Zhang Yaxin's timeline that was messed up. In the normal timeline, it should be Liu Xing and Zhang Yaxin first OOXX, and then Zhang Yaxin is pregnant again. After the timeline was disrupted, Liu Xing and Zhang Yaxin had not yet OOXX, Zhang Yaxin was pregnant first, and the child in her belly seemed to appear out of thin air. In fact, it's just that time has been reversed.
It is by using this anti-logical phenomenon that Liu Xing finds the correct timeline and arranges the correct order of "Book Eye".
And the later contest between Liu Xing and the Book Demon is also using anti-logic and anti-anti-logic to calculate each other.
The Book Demon will eventually lose, because he miscalculated some of the illogical timelines. For example, the Book Demon has always mistakenly believed that the first person in the world to learn the art of reading was Ma Xingkong. Based on this clue, the book demon laid out a timeline.
However, the first person in the world to learn the art of reading into the mind was not Ma Xingkong, but Liu Xing. In the "Chapter 45 of the Book Eye", it is clearly written that Liu Xing is the first person in history to enter the gods.
Some readers may wonder, Liu Xing does not seem to be the first person to enter the gods, didn't the four great book kings enter the gods earlier? More than 40 years ago, the four great book kings seemed to have entered the gods?
The reader will have this kind of doubt because the order of the plot of "The Book Eye" that the reader reads is also wrong. If the plot sequence is wrong, the timeline is wrong, and so the conclusions drawn are wrong.
In the correct plot sequence of "Book Eye", Liu Xing's time of entering the gods is earlier than the four book kings, and the four book kings actually live in Liu Xing's future, and they are Liu Xing's descendants.
For example, in the chapters written in "Book Eye", the correct timeline should be: Liu Xing became the first person in history to enter the gods→ Liu Xing created Ma Xingkong, so that Ma Xingkong would enter the gods→ Ma Xingkong left the "General Outline of Entering the Gods" in prehistoric civilization→ the four book kings got Ma Xingkong's "General Outline of Entering the Gods", →and the four great book kings learned to enter the gods.
It is easy to see from this plot sequence that Liu Xing is the origin of the whole story, and he is also the earliest person to enter the gods, and the reading techniques of Ma Xingkong and the Four Great Book Kings are all derived from Liu Xing.
The book demon just got this timeline wrong, so he didn't sort out the correct plot sequence of "Book Eye".
And an important reason why Liu Xing was able to arrange the correct plot order was because he accepted 16 heroines. In the setting, there are a total of 16 heroines in "Book Eye", each of which is related to the plot of 2 playing cards, and these heroines are the living timeline.
Like Zhang Yaxin just mentioned, Zhang Yaxin suddenly became pregnant, and Liu Xing sorted out Zhang Yaxin's timeline according to the pregnancy problem. Other heroines have similar problems. When Liu Xing took down all 16 heroines, he sorted out the timeline and achieved the goal of "collecting everything everywhere" at the same time.
When Liu Xing announced the correct plot order of "Book Eye", it was a big ** in the later stage. When you read this, you will find that you have read millions of words of plots, which seem plausible, but are all in the wrong order. When I read it again in the correct order, I found that the order was more exciting, the foreshadowing was more ingenious, and a series of mysteries were all solved in the correct plot order, accompanied by a series of villains such as hanging the book demon.
This big ** is the creative pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info "Book Eye". All the ideas are pushed back from this big **, and most of the content in the early stage is to pave the way for this **.
It's just that the position where this ** appears is about 6 million words later. It's too long, so I have to give it up.
The above is part of the idea of the original outline of "Book Eye".
If there are book lovers who can't understand what the big lump above is talking about, forget it, there is no need to delve into it, because the poker novel itself is quite a painful way to write.
That's all for it.
……
Finally, a word about the new book.
I now have two new book themes in my hand, one is brain-oriented, and the other is white-oriented.
The outlines of both themes have been written for more than half of the time, and I haven't decided which subject to write about yet, so I'll ponder and make a choice in the next few days.
If things go well, the new book will be uploaded at the end of July or early August. After uploading, you will be notified of new chapters in Bookeye.
……
In addition, the text of "Book Eye" is officially over today.
From tomorrow onwards, I will also write some extras of "Book Eye", which I use to practice my pen, and the writing method will be more casual, which belongs to the writing of the nature of real yàn, and will not consider the reader's acceptance.
Therefore, the chapters outside the fan [not recommended] are read.
Some book friends have set up "automatic subscription-reading", and now they can cancel subscription-reading.
……
Finally, thank you again for your reading and support.
I wish you all the best in finding a novel that you can read and enjoy. (→_→)
