Next chapter

The world of "The Legend of Deer and Ding".

Yin Shushu, Concubine Lu Ji, Lin Arou, Lin Ajiao and others sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the documentary novel "Paradise Story City".

They have been reading this novel for more than three months and are going to try to get into it today. As long as you succeed in entering the gods, you can enter the Heavenly Story City and return to your original body.

"Jiaojiao?"

At this time, Liu Xing found that Lin Ajiao had taken the lead in entering the gods, so he played a tune with the guqin to help Lin Ajiao awaken her self-consciousness after entering the gods.

Not long after, Lin Arou, Concubine Lu Ji and Yin Shushu and others also came to Paradise Story City one after another.

With the assistance of Liu Xing's piano sound, they all successfully awakened and met Zhang Yaxin, Wang Lanlan, Yuxin, Hua Yingxue and others in Paradise Story City.

Thus, the heroines of "Hell Story City" and "The Book King" came together.

When Lin Ajiao, Lin Arou, Green Ji Shufei and others entered Paradise Story City, other people from the Eight Great Sects also succeeded in entering the gods one after another, including Alpha Dog, Xiao Yichen, Tianji Divine Monk, Gu Ash, Mandarin Duck Shenni and others.

So, people from prehistoric civilization and modern civilization met in Paradise Story City, these people created each other, cherished each other, they were in groups of three or five, and soon chatted together.

Professor Juan and Luo Ji talked about prehistoric civilization, Ao Jianghu and Hai Gonggong shared their experience of being a eunuch, Yang Chong and Guo Zilong exchanged experience as killers, Chow Daqian and Chow Yun-fat learned the mystery of gambling, and Ye Baizi and Huang Rose learned the skills of writing imperial novels......

Everyone is a reader, erudite and talented, and the topic is naturally Tiannan, all-encompassing, and they talk very happily.

Among them, a dialogue at the highest level was launched between Liu Xing, the Four Great Book Kings, the heads of the Eight Great Sects, and Alpha Dog.

……

Imperial palace.

In the space of the giant coffin, a large round dining table is placed in the center, and the table top slowly turns, and one hundred and eight dishes float in front of you like flowing water, which is dazzling.

At the big dining table, the four book kings and the heads of the eight major factions gathered together, eating hot pot and drinking the Moutai wine provided by Wangfujing Street, while talking and laughing.

"Moutai seems to be so-so!" Alpha Dog took a bottle of Moutai and sniffed it, but did not drink it, because its intelligent system could not digest alcohol.

"Brother Dog, Moutai is drunk, not smelled. The Tianji Divine Monk put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "You haven't drunk wine yourself, so naturally you don't know the true taste." ”

"Old bald donkey, you're not right. "On the side, Gu Gray said, "Although the alpha dog can't drink, it can use its imagination to make up for the taste of drinking." If drinking wine is compared to a novel, the aroma of wine is the text, and the taste of wine is the blank spot. If you can see the blank spots through the guò text, you can naturally smell the wine and feel the taste of the wine when you drink it. ”

Hearing this, the alpha dog smelled the wine again, and his brain turned around, his brain opened up, and his brain made up for the feeling after drinking.

After a while, the Alpha dog showed an intoxicated expression on its face, as if it had really drunk wine, and praised: "Sure enough, it is a good wine! After drinking Moutai, it is really a great enjoyment of life to gnaw a Quanjude roast duck!"

After making up the picture of eating roast duck, Alpha Dog burped, wiped his mouth again, and reminded everyone, "When you eat roast duck for a while, you must add some green onion strips, cucumber strips or radish strips, roll up the lotus leaf cake and eat it, otherwise it will be a little greasy." When I was eating roast duck just now, I forgot to add cucumber strips, and now it's a little greasy. ”

Alpha Dog's words caused a burst of laughter.

"Brother Dog, your imagination seems to have reached a new level. The Heavenly Machine Divine Monk smiled, "Even the cucumber strips can be made up in the brain." ”

Alpha Dog said: "Just now Alpha Ji gave me brain opening surgery, replaced with a high-frequency CPU, greatly improved my brain power, and upgraded my ability to write novels." Bengou is going to write a novel recently, but there is a question about the novel that he has never figured out. ”

Afaki was curious: "Brother Dog, what kind of problem is it, you might as well say it and listen to it, the four great book kings and the heads of the eight major factions are here today, maybe they can help you answer your questions." ”

Alpha Dog said: "All of you here are readers, and they can and can write novels." What Bengou wants to ask is, what is the essence of fiction?"

"The nature of fiction?"

Afaki was slightly stunned, and everyone looked at each other.

"This question of the alpha dog is probably a question that all readers have thought about, and it has also bothered me for many years. The poor nun first threw bricks and jades and said something about his own experience. ”

At this time, the mandarin duck Shenni took the lead in saying, "Poor Ni believes that the essence of fiction is conflict, or contradiction. As the old saying goes, there are clouds, and the text seems to look at the mountains and not like the flat. A good work must be like a mountain, with ups and downs, high and low, in order to be fascinating. If the novel is too flat and has no waves, it will be like stagnant water, boring and depressing. And there must be ups and downs in the work, and there must be conflicts.

Poor Ni feels that the "Plot Wave" theory proposed by [Reincarnation Jun] is the most vivid interpretation of the conflict. The plot wave is divided into 24 potentials, each of which represents the two extremes of the law of evolution, the true and false potentials, the explicit and hidden potentials, the dividing and combining potentials, the forward and negative trends, and the positive and negative potentials...... They are like mountains, with ups and downs, waves and waves, and every fluctuation of the plot wave is the manifestation of conflict. ”

"Mrs. Shi really hit the nail on the head. Samsara Jun continued, "You are right, when I constructed the theory of "Plot Wave", I was inspired by the theory of contradiction. Contradiction is the internal cause, while change is explicit, and the plot wave is the fusion of the internal cause and the explicit, which not only expounds the essence of the contradiction, but also shows the process of change, and the potential is the unit of the plot wave.

However, when I created the theory of "Plot Wave", the definition of "potential" was not original to me, but was inspired by the stream-of-consciousness principle of the Soul Fairy. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the Soul Burial Fairy.

Alpha Dog blinked: "What is the stream of consciousness principle?"

The Soul Burial Fairy smiled lightly and said, "Stream of consciousness is a genre of fiction that has developed from psychology. As the mandarin duck god and nun just said, for a novel to be attractive, it must have ups and downs. And the 'attraction' here is essentially a kind of psychological feedback generated after reading.

The process of reading is a psychological stress response. The process is:

Reading text information stimulates psychological feedback.

From this process, it can be seen that the stimulation of the text information of the novel determines your reading experience. The higher the information stimulation of the novel text, the stronger the reading feeling, and it is precisely because of this that the ups and downs of the plot are more attractive, because the information stimulation of this type of plot is higher.

However, the same information has different levels of stimulation for different people. Because the degree of stimulation depends on the person's mental homeostasis. For example, if you win a lottery of 5 million, whether the stimulation of this information is strong or weak varies from person to person. If a beggar wins 5 million, it will definitely form a powerful stimulus for the beggar. However, if it is a billionaire who wins 5 million, the excitement will be much less.

Returning to the level of the novel, Samsara Jun's "Plot Wave" itself is a description of the evolution of objective things, and after these descriptions become the plot of the novel, they ultimately need to be fed back by psychological homeostasis.

Therefore, to evaluate a novel, we need to consider not only the plot evolution of the novel itself, but also the homeostasis of the reading psychology, which is the value of the stream of consciousness.

Of course, mental homeostasis itself is an extremely complex concept, which does not exist in isolation, but is determined by a person's own physiology and external environment, and needs to return to the person himself. Thus, there is the human logistics theory of the Escaper, which is an intermediary that connects the stream of plot and the stream of consciousness. ”

As soon as the Soul Fairy finished speaking, the Loose Ke added: "Actually, human flow is the oldest genre of fiction, and throughout the ages, many novelists believe that the core of fiction is the portrayal of characters. The creation of typical characters has become the highest creative goal of many classical and traditional novelists.

The main reason why I wanted to redefine the human flow school was to redefine the value of characters in the novel. As the soul girl just said, the evaluation of the novel needs to consider psychological homeostasis, and psychological homeostasis is taken from people's homeostasis. People's character, age, appearance, identity, status, wealth, ability, will, values, etc., it is like a system, organically integrated into one, forming a homeostasis of people.

Everything in the world has its own steady state. The plot of the novel is to constantly break the balance of homeostasis, and constantly restore the balance to establish a new homeostasis, and this process of change is the evolution of Samsara Jun's "Plot Wave". The 24 potential "Plot Wave" is the mode of 24 potential steady-state imbalance and rebalance. Human homeostasis is the bridge that connects the homeostasis of all things and the psychological homeostasis, which is one of the most important values of human logistics.

At the same time, human homeostasis is also an indispensable reference for describing potential, because potential is a potential quantity. The potential is different for different references.

Just like in physics, when you want to describe the gravitational potential energy of an object, you need to confirm the object's reference first. The symmetry is the reference of the twenty-four potentials of "Plot Waves". Different references have different potentials. As for the theory of the field of referents, this needs to be explained by dreaming into the universe, because this belongs to the category of setting flow. ”

Hearing this, Alpha Dog concluded: "In this way, the earliest novel genre in China is the plot flow of Samsarajun. Later, in order to perfect the plot flow, the Soul Burial Fairy created the stream of consciousness. After the emergence of the stream of consciousness, in order to solve the problem of human homeostasis, Xiaoyaoke recreated human logistics. As a result, there was a bottleneck in the flow of people and references, so Dream into Shenyu finally created the setting flow and perfected the entire system of the novel?"

"Not bad. Dream into Shenyu nodded and said, "The setting flow is the latest genre to appear, because there is no foundation for the plot flow, the flow of people, and the stream of consciousness, it is impossible to give birth to the theory of the set flow, and it is difficult to discover the value of the set flow."

The essence of the so-called setting flow lies in the definition of rules. The rules of a novel are not only the foundation of the system of references, but also the source of potential. To think of plot waves, you need to talk about psychology, you need to talk about psychology, you need to talk about characters first, you need to talk about characters, you need to talk about the world, and if you want to talk about the world, you need to talk about rules first. The four-in-one, it is the source of the four major genres of Chinese novels. ”

"So that's what happened. A flash of inspiration flashed in Afa Dog's mind and said, "After listening to the introduction of the Four Book Kings, Bengou feels that he can give an accurate definition of the novel." In Bengou's view, the essence of the novel is a two-word problem and a method.

The 'potential' in the plot flow is the bit quantity, the difference, which represents the gap between the goal and the status quo, and the potential formed by this gap is the problem. To change the problem is to change the potential, and this process is the method. And the essence of the method is to change the trend with potential.

As for the setting of the set flow, it belongs to the propositional precondition of the problem, and the stream of consciousness, the flow of people, and the flow of plot are all the processes of the argument of propositional theory, which belong to the method.

Therefore, Bengou believes that the essence of fiction is the problem and the method. A novel either raises questions or solves problems, and no novel can escape this category. ”

"Alpha Dog's idea is actually very good, and the novel has returned to methodology. "However, in the school of consciousness, there are some things that are difficult to present in terms of questions, and when the problems are difficult to describe, the method is even more ambiguous. ”

Alpha Dog said: "Well, Ben Dog didn't do much research on romance novels, but he didn't take this situation into account. In the opinion of the fairy sister, if you want to summarize the novel in terms of methodology, then how can the theory of this dog be corrected?"

The Soul Burial Fairy said: "Actually, the Black Shadow Man told me about this idea of the Alpha Dog more than a year ago, and at that time, we were still discussing it in the Valley of Despair for three days and three nights. ”

"Really?" Hearing this, Alpha Dog's eyes lit up and he looked at Liu Xing, "Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to think about this dog's thinking a year ago, I don't know what your high opinion is?"

Everyone also looked at Liu Xing one after another, wanting to hear his opinion on the novel. Among all the people present, Liu Xing was the only one who combined the four major schools into one.

"As for the nature of the novel, I did discuss it with the Soul Fairy a year ago. Liu Xing said, "My view is that fiction is the sum of all possibilities. ”

"A qiē possibility?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Alpha Dog asked, "Brother Liu, what does 'one qiē possibility' mean?"

Liu Xing said: "One qiē possibility, that is, infinity." I think that the things that a novel can carry are infinite, it is not limited to creating characters, it is not limited to showing the plot, it is not limited to expressing thoughts and emotions, and it is not limited to creating a world. A qiē possibility can be accommodated in the novel, whether it is in existence or not, whether it is conceivable or unthinkable, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, whether it is descriptive or indescribable...... A qiē and a qiē can be presented through guò novels. The meaning of the novel is to show the endless possibilities.

No matter how absurd or absurd, everything can be saved, and it is also something that a novel can carry. For example, an ant that can make an elephant pregnant, a Chinese football team that can win the World Cup for a second time, and a writer who writes a 10 million-word novel and still hits the streets...... These phenomena do not exist in our world, but that does not mean that they do not exist in our world. Anything that can be written in a novel can be saved.

Take the scrap books of Huaxia Kingdom, for example, these novels are considered junk novels, full of all kinds of paradoxes, all kinds of logical errors, all kinds of common sense loopholes, and yet, they can still be stored. Because these garbage novels can also be fascinating, garbage novels correspond to a garbage world, and there is a world that follows the rules of garbage novels. Although the garbage world may seem ridiculous, it is not difficult to understand its existence if you let go of the inherent prejudices.

The world that can be shown in the novel is infinite, and therefore, the world is also infinite, and this infinity is theoretically absolutely infinite, and how far we can see depends on the imagination of the individual.

There are as many novels as there are novels in the world, and there are as many possibilities as there are in the world. Thus, the novel is the sum of all possibilities. ”

Everyone pondered Liu Xing's words.

Alpha Dog praised: "Brother Liu, this idea of yours really made this dog suddenly enlightened, and his thoughts were much clearer. However, you just said that there are some worlds that cannot be described. If it can't be described, how can the novel be presented?"

Liu Xing reminded: "Brother dog, you ignored the 'blank spot'. ”

Hearing this, Alpha Dog suddenly realized: "Yes, novels can describe the descriptible, or they can describe the indescribable in the form of blank spots, which is simply a perfect solution to the paradox." ”

Dreaming into Shenyu pondered for a while, and concluded: "At this point in the discussion, the vision of the Black Shadow Man's novel is obviously higher than ours. Infinity may be the ultimate truth of our world. ”

Xiaoyaoke agreed: "This idea of the Black Shadow Man has also solved a doubt I have had for many years. In this world, there are many seemingly worthless things, such as garbage novels, garbage people, garbage historical processes, and so on. Now, after being reminded by the Shadow Man, these doubts have been solved. The world is like a novel, it wants to show a qiē possibility. ”

Samsara Jun frowned slightly, and looked at Liu Xing: "Brother Black Shadow, if the world is infinite, then in your opinion, can we use novels to exhaust the infinity of the world and discover infinite possibilities?"

Liu Xing smiled and said, "This question stumped me, and I don't know." ”

Alpha Dog remembered something: "By the way, isn't Ma Xingkong already in the author's computer system, can he see the outline of "The Book King"? Ma Xingkong should know the ending of the novel and know our ultimate fate, right? We should ask Ma Xingkong this question. ”

After speaking, Alpha Dog looked up at the little frog icon on the wall of the coffin, which flashed green slightly, which showed that the number jù management software was running on the computer.

So, Alpha Dog immediately got in touch with Ma Xingkong through Guò Yunpan.

Alpha Dog: "Ma Xingkong, how did the ending of the author's novel be designed?"

Ma Xingkong replied: "It doesn't matter how the author designs the ending of the novel, I can secretly help revise it anyway." If you want to get the ending of the novel, you can tell me directly, and I will secretly help you revise it in the computer system. ”

Alpha Dog's heart moved, this is a great thing, you can decide the ending of the novel by yourself.

Ma Xingkong sent another message to remind: "The novel should be coming to an end, what ending do you want to remind me these days." ”

Alpha Dog said: "This dog hasn't figured out what kind of ending he wants. ”

Ma Xingkong: "It's not easy to think about? For example, at the end of the novel, what martial arts do you hope to learn, what realm do you want to achieve, what status do you have, and how many beauties are there around you?

Alpha Dog: "The harem is exempt, and the opening of the harem affects the imagination." ”

Ma Xingkong: "Anyway, you can do it yourself." After you design the ending of the novel, write it in a document and send it to me, and I will help you revise it into the novel. ”

Alpha Dog: "OK!"

Hearing this, everyone had a question in their hearts: what kind of ending should be designed for themselves?
