Five days later.
Liu Xing sat on the floor of the reading room, holding the novel of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and reading it intently.
The temperature in the room was very comfortable, however, Liu Xing was already sweating profusely at this time, beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down from his forehead one after another, and the collar of his jacket had been soaked for more than half of it.
There's a super brainstorm going on in his head!
In order to get into "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", he is trying to convert the words of the novel into pictures, but the pictures of Xianxia novels are thousands of times more complex than ordinary novels, which is a huge challenge to his brainpower.
From one o'clock in the morning to now, Liu Xing has been reading for more than six hours continuously, and as time goes by, he feels more and more struggling, and has a sense of being poor in donkey skills.
After reading so many novels, for the first time, he felt as if he was lacking in imagination.
After gritting his teeth and persisting for more than an hour, Liu Xing's brain power had been exhausted to the extreme, and he finally couldn't support it anymore and stopped.
"Whew-"
At the moment of putting down the novel, Liu Xing breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a sense of relief.
After a long rest, he once again tested the novel's information.
Title: The Legend of Sword and Fairy
Genre: Xianxia Novel (Stream of Consciousness)
【Grade】4-star
【Match】21.4%
Liu Xing shook his head helplessly, the matching degree was still 21.4%, without the slightest improvement.
He has been reading "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" for five days in a row, reading for more than 10 hours a day, however, these efforts have not seen any return, and the matching level has never changed.
He tried again and again to win "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but unfortunately all failed.
The key to reading is imagination. It's just that imagination alone is not enough, but also needs a certain amount of knowledge, that is, the material of imagination.
The essence of imagination is combination, and since it is a combination, it needs to have the material of combination.
It's the same as cooking.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. The chef's cooking skills couldn't be higher. He couldn't have made dishes without the ingredients.
In the same way, no matter how good a person's imagination is, if there is no certain imagination material. It is equally impossible to imagine anything.
For example, to imagine a beautiful woman, you need to accumulate a certain amount of beauty material. If you've never seen a beautiful woman, it's hard to imagine a beautiful woman out of thin air.
Different novels require different imaginary materials.
The more mysterious the novel. The more imaginary material is needed.
If the amount of imaginary material required for a martial arts novel is 1, then the amount of imaginary material required for a Xianxia novel may be tens of billions, or even more.
It is precisely because the amount of knowledge required for Xianxia novels is extremely huge and vast that Liu Xing will work so hard when using reading techniques.
"It seems that the amount of knowledge I have accumulated in my mind is not enough to imagine a complete Xianxia world. ”
Liu Xing secretly pondered: If you want to imagine a fairy world, what kind of knowledge or materials do you need to accumulate?
When the book eye examined "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", it showed that this novel had a "stream of consciousness" novel, and Liu Xing couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Is the imaginative material that I lack is stream-of-consciousness knowledge?
In the past few days, Liu Xing once wanted to find some textbooks about stream of consciousness to study and study, but he searched all the books in Bohai Book City, but he couldn't find any relevant books.
Most of the readers in Tianhai City are learners of the stream of consciousness or plot stream, and there is no one in ten thousand who learns the stream of consciousness, so bookstores in Tianhai City generally do not sell textbooks on the stream of consciousness.
However, there is one place where there may be stream-of-consciousness books - Wang Tairan's library.
Wang Tairan has studied reading for more than 80 years, and he should have been exposed to the novels of the school of consciousness to some extent.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing immediately got up and left the room. Go to the Blue Sky Community.
……
Blue Sky Community, Wang Tairan's bedroom library.
There are three rows of bookshelves in the library, most of which are equipped with anti-theft systems and are in a state of lockdown. The average person simply can't take a book off the shelf.
Liu Xing is an exception.
Before Wang Tairan went to Wanxing Mountain, he gave Liu Xing the key to the library.
took out a bunch of keys, opened a bookshelf smoothly, and checked it, almost all of which were star-rated novels.
These novels are worth a lot of money, but unfortunately they are not what Liu Xing needs at the moment.
Turn around. Walk to the second row of bookshelves.
This row of bookshelves is placed on the theory of novels, and when I glance at it, the titles that catch my eye are: "Introduction to Mental Space Training", "The Hidden Dimension of Character in the Summoning Structure of Text", "Plot Structure and Blank Spots", "New School of Combination Theory", "Discrete Reading Psychology", "Tian's Dimensional Linguistics", ......
Most of these books are related to reading, and after checking more than 100 titles, Liu Xing still did not find the book he needed.
"What is this?"
At this time, in the corner of the bookshelf, Liu Xing found a thick stack of manuscripts, took them out and looked at them, only to see that the name of the manuscript was "General Introduction to Modern Reading Techniques - Analysis of the Attributes of Novel Genres".
"Genre attribute analysis?"
Seeing these words, Liu Xing's eyes lit up, this should be the material he needs.
When he was happy, the afterglow moved downward, and he was stunned for a moment, only to see four words written under the cover of the manuscript - by Carefree!
This manuscript was actually written by the Book King Xiaoyaoke!
Many of the professional courses in the School of Fiction are classified and forbidden to be leaked, and they cannot be bought on the market. As for the tutorial written by the Book King Xiaoyaoke, it is a secret among secrets, and it is not accessible to ordinary people.
Wang Tairan is a student of Xiaoyaoke, and he was fortunate to get this copy of "General Theory of Modern Reading Techniques - Analysis of the Attributes of Novel Genres".
Judging from the time of publication, this manuscript was written 37 years ago, and it mainly discusses the differences and connections between the reading techniques of the four major schools of Chinese novels.
Liu Xingzheng needed this knowledge, so he took the manuscript away.
……
In the following three days, Liu Xing devoted himself to the study of "General Theory of Modern Reading Techniques - Analysis of the Attributes of Novel Genres".
This manuscript is worthy of being written by the king of books, and after reading it, many questions about reading skills in Liu Xing's heart are easily solved.
He finally understood why he couldn't enter "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Huaxiaguo's novels are divided into four major genres, namely human flow, plot flow, setting flow, and consciousness flow.
Every novel belongs to a certain genre.
For example, "Dragon Babu" takes the creation of distinctive characters as the core of creation, and it belongs to human logistics.
"Detective Wang Nan" mainly tells the story of confusing cases, and it belongs to the plot stream.
Novels of different genres require different genres of reading. At the same time, the imagination required is different.
The case of Xianxia novels is a bit peculiar, as it has the characteristics of multiple genres at the same time.
Xianxia novels have both the characteristics of human logistics and the elements of plot flow. It also has the property of stream of consciousness
In this way, in order to enter the fairy tale novel, you need to have the reading skills of various novel genres, and at the same time, you also need to accumulate a variety of different imagination materials.
Only the best of a hundred schools. Only by embracing all rivers and rivers and integrating them can they become the culminators of novel theories, and only then can they enter the fairy tale novels.
For example, if you compare a novel to cooking.
Into the god of his own logistics novel, is equivalent to cooking a piece of meat.
Immersing yourself in a plot flow novel is equivalent to cooking a dish.
A stream-of-consciousness novel is equivalent to preparing a spice.
Then, entering a fairy tale novel is equivalent to making a large table of Manchu and Han full seats.
Liu Xing's current ability. He couldn't make a full banquet because he didn't have enough ingredients.
The ingredients are the material of his imagination, that is, his knowledge reserve, or experience.
If you want to enter the fairy novels, Liu Xing needs to enrich his knowledge reserves and read more novels of different categories.
Every time he gets into a novel, his knowledge will increase by one point.
When Liu Xing's knowledge reserve reached a certain level after entering the novels of various genres, he had enough imaginary materials. At that time, it is possible to have the ability to enter the fairy tale novel.
"It seems that if you want to enter the fairy novels, you need to enter more novels of other genres. ”
Thinking about these questions, Liu Xing's thinking suddenly became clear.
With his current abilities. Even if you read "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" for 10,000 years, it is impossible to succeed.
In the world of Xianxia, people who cultivate immortals need to go through many tribulations, see all the states of the world, taste the warmth and coldness of the world, and go through the six reincarnations, and the whole process is extremely long for thousands of years, or even longer.
In a long monastic career. Immortal cultivators are actually enriching their own experience, so as to achieve the realm of the unity of heaven and man, to understand the truth of all things in the universe, and to transcend mortal fetuses.
If Liu Xing wants to enter the fairy tale novel, he also needs to have enough experience.
It's just that his method of enriching his experience is more peculiar - reading novels.
Ordinary immortal cultivators need to travel thousands of miles, while Liu Xing needs to read 10,000 novels.
By reading novels of different genres and categories, he was able to inherit one life experience after another. Every time he enters a novel, he can transplant decades of life experience from others, and his efficiency is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary immortal cultivators, or even more.
As long as he reads enough novels and accumulates enough rich experience, Liu Xing has the ability to imagine a complete Xianxia world, and entering a fairy tale novel will become a matter of course.
Previously, Liu Xing had read novels of the human school and novels of the plot genre, but he had not read the novels of the school of consciousness.
He once found several works of the school of consciousness from the third book coffin, among which the most matched one was "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" by Gu Long.
According to the theory of the book king Xiaoyaoke, if Liu Xing can enter the "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", he can accumulate some imaginary materials of the school of consciousness, and at that time, the matching degree of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" will also increase.
Entering a fairy tale novel is an extremely long journey of exploration, but if it can be successful, then all the effort is worth it.
Therefore, Liu Xing decided to give it a try......
