On November 18th, "Journey to the West" was updated to the eighth chapter, and when everyone thought that this time it would write about how Sun Wukong got out of Wuzhi Mountain, the plot took a 180-degree turn and turned to the issue of learning from the scriptures.

In the first seven episodes, although countless people have seen many doubts, the plot is wonderful, the plot is ups and downs, the magic powers are gorgeous and colorful, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky are dazzling, so readers feel very happy when they read it. But in the eighth round, despite the large number of gods and Buddhas and the ornate rhetoric, the refreshment was gone.

In an era when entertainment was not very developed, a novel was a divine book as long as it was imaginative.

But modern times are an era of very developed entertainment, with imagination and no violent plots, and many readers don't like to watch it.

The eighth episode is a plot watershed in "Journey to the West", and it is also a watershed in readers' recognition, and countless readers began to complain.

"Three thousand Buddhas, five hundred arhats, eight vajras, four bodhisattvas...... Surrounded by dragons, colorful flowers and rain, full of wisdom and golden body, the tassels are hanging pearls and emeralds, and the incense ring is full of treasures...... Xing Ye's rich fantasy imagination and gorgeous rhetoric are still the same, but why did the plot change? What about Monkey King? ”

"I thought I was going to write about Sun Wukong getting out of trouble, but I didn't expect it to be a lesson, Master Xing, are you sure you're not funny?"

"When I came here, it turned out that Sun Wukong was suppressed by my Buddha Rulai!"

"Looking at the book of Xingye, it is obvious that he derogates the Tao and worships the Buddha, he writes Taishang Laojun so unbearable, and writes Rulai so lofty, and what do you say about the greed and hefreude of Nanzhan Buzhou. Isn't it nonsense to kill more and more, and to have his Dharma to understand? Master Xing, don't lick Ah San so obviously. ”

"What Ah San?"

"The upstairs is here to sell cute!"

"Catch the cute thing all the time. Come and watch, I don't even know that Rulai is Ah San. ”

……

Of course, scolding is scolding, and the vast majority of readers continue to watch it every day while scolding. I'm tired like a dog every day, why don't we read some light-hearted novels to relax and relax?

At the same time, why the title of the book is called "Journey to the West" is finally revealed to readers at this time. It turned out to be a "travelogue" to the west to learn scriptures.

"Come here, it turns out that this is Journey to the West!"

"I finally understand, but the title of the book should be Journey to the West. Why did Xing Ye change it to Journey to the West? ”

"Upstairs, is Journey to the West or Journey to the West good? Wenqing is a disease, it has to be cured! ”

"After writing such a long beginning, it turns out that Sun Wukong is just a big apprentice of the scripture learner."

"Ask upstairs. Why does it have to be a big apprentice? ”

"Nonsense. If only three hoops were given, Guanyin gave three people, a general with a rolling shutter, a marshal of Tianpeng who became a pig, and a Sun Monkey, who else could Sun Monkey be if he was not a senior brother? ”

"Haha...... Marshal Tianpeng was born by mistake and became a pig, and the pig can understand it, so the divine thinking of the star master can be imagined! ”

"Xing Ye has always been slow to enter the main line when writing novels. This can be seen from "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Because Xing Ye is not writing a fast food online cool article, but a classic traditional novel that has lasted for a long time. According to the Chair's words. Xing Ye's works are all high-quality popular novels. ”

"Vulgarity is not vulgarity, support Xing Ye to continue to write like this!"

……

By the end of November, "Journey to the West" was updated to the twentieth episode "Huangfengling Tang Seng is in trouble, and the eight precepts in the middle of the mountain are vying for the first", and by this time, the controversy about "Journey to the West" is becoming more and more extensive and bigger.

Extensive, because with the development of the plot, more and more people like watching "Journey to the West", because of its rich imagination, interesting characters and dialogues, and vivid characters.

The controversy is because there are really many pits and contradictions in "Journey to the West".

Needless to say, some of them are foreshadowing, some are mysterious world backgrounds, and if you don't read the whole novel, readers will discuss and discuss, and they will never curse. But the contradiction is different, the contradiction represents a mistake, and it is an inexplicable plot and setting, which makes many readers can't help but scold, and even scold their mother.

The most direct and biggest contradiction is Sun Wukong's strength, which is inconsistent, exactly like two people!

"What the hell does Master Xing think?" Cao Wei looked at the twentieth episode, his brows were furrowed tightly, he could kill flies, he was really curious, what did Zhao Xingchi's "Journey to the West" want to express.

Cao Wei is the supreme god of Qidian Chinese Network, pen name "Phantom Sword God", is a popular figure in the online novel industry and even the entire Chinese literary circle, because he is the first online novel writer with an annual salary of more than one million, and in the following years, his income soared, earning 25 million in 2010, and by now in 2018, his annual personal income has exceeded 100 million. Although a large part of the revenue of more than 100 million yuan comes from the game company he started himself, it can also be seen that his influence can be seen.

However, Cao Wei, who has such a high annual income, is not satisfied, because he also has a "god-level master" Zhao Xingchi above him.

He also started writing novels, he started writing in 2003, and Stephen Zhao only started writing in 2013, he has 10 years more time than Stephen Zhao, but in terms of influence and income, Stephen Zhao broke him up and dumped him more than 10 streets!

Comparing goods is still good, and people are more dead than people!

Every time Cao Wei thought of Stephen Zhao, he felt an unspeakable sadness and heartache, and burst into tears: "The same writer, why is the gap so big?" ”

At the beginning, Cao Wei still wanted to compare with Stephen Zhao, but as Stephen Zhao wrote martial arts novels, the gap between him and Stephen Zhao became wider and wider.

With the expansion of Red Star Media, the hot sale of Xiaoao Jianghu movies, the hot sale of "Painted Skin", the hot sale of "Taiji Zhang Sanfeng", and the hot sale of "Source Code", Cao Wei became more and more discouraged; Later, Zhao Xingchi entered Beijing University as a professor, Zhao Xingchi was invited to attend the Central Tea Party, and Zhao Xingchi attended the Central Literary and Art Work Conference.

Up to now, Cao Wei no longer intends to compare with Zhao Xingchi, he regards Zhao Xingchi as a goal to strive for!

For such a long time. Cao Wei also figured out one thing, if you want to strive to become a great person like Stephen Zhao, it is not possible to write online novels. has to return to tradition, especially the kind of traditional novels that are suitable for film and television adaptations.

Take a look at Stephen Zhao's development history.

At the beginning, Stephen Zhao wrote historical novels, and the novels were bestsellers, but the influence was not very great.

It wasn't until Stephen Zhao began to write martial arts novels that Stephen Zhao really soared into the sky. A "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" directly established the status of Stephen Zhao's martial arts novel grandmaster. Establish his strong position in the field of TV dramas. After that, he wrote "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", a "Painted Skin" directly established Stephen Zhao's status in the film field. By the time "Smiling Proud Jianghu" appeared, Stephen Zhao had become a big trend. Spanning the two worlds of culture and entertainment, its influence is getting bigger and bigger.

To sum up, it can be seen that Stephen Zhao can have today, martial arts novels and mythological novels are very important.

Of course. Cao Wei will not forget "The Three Kingdoms", "The True Story of Ah Q", and "The Hundred Schools of Qin Princes", which are highly literary and artistic novels. Because these novels are the main reason for the establishment of Stephen Zhao's literary master, official recognition and acceptance.

Cao Wei began to learn from Stephen Zhao, and he wanted to transform.

Considering that his knowledge was shallow after all, Cao Wei gave up those novels with high literary and artistic qualities and devoted himself to studying Stephen Zhao's mythological novels.

Martial arts? I'm sorry, Stephen Zhao has already written to the top, and he can't break into the fame at all.

Martial arts novels of the style of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", after "Dragon Babu", have all the possibilities been written, and they have reached an unprecedented peak. It is impossible to innovate and surpass any more.

A martial arts novel in the style of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" can be written, but Cao Wei found it after studying it for a while. It's really hard, basically whoever imitates who dies. He tried many times himself, but he couldn't write about the taste, and the more he wrote, the more rubbish it became, and he couldn't stand it himself.

"Journey to the West" is the object of Cao Wei's research during this time.

There is no doubt that the rich fantasy imagination of "Journey to the West" opened his eyes.

Seventy-two changes, somersault clouds, law heaven and earth, incarnation outside the body, three heads and six arms, the peach that becomes an immortal after eating, Wuzhi Mountain, clairvoyance, Shunfeng ear, Jade Emperor, Tai Bai Xing, Nezha, Tota Heavenly King, Jiuyao Xingjun, Taishang Laojun, Barefoot Daxian, Guanyin, Rulai, Queen Mother......

Cao Wei felt dazzled every time he saw it, but he was not bored at all, but accepted it naturally and remembered it clearly.

In the first seven episodes of "Journey to the West", I have been talking about Monkey King, and in the eighth episode, the plot has taken a big turn, and finally entered the main plot of "Journey to the West". Seriously, this did not surprise Cao Wei, but took it for granted. However, when Tang Seng began to travel west and accepted Sun Wukong as an apprentice, Cao Wei began to be surprised, and soon fell into deep confusion.

Sun Wukong's strength has changed too quickly, right?

Before the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and many immortals couldn't do anything about him, such as Jiuyao Xingjun, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Third Prince of Nezha, and so on.

In the process of Journey to the West, any monster can fight with Sun Wukong inextricably, and even make Sun Wukong disgraced, so he is not embarrassed.

For example, in the sixteenth and seventeenth episodes, the black bear spirit he met in the Guanyin Temple, Sun Wukong couldn't take the other party, and finally had to ask Guanyin to surrender the black bear spirit.

also said that in the eighteenth and nineteenth chapters, a Zhu Bajie came out and could actually have a lot of tricks with Sun Wukong, but in the previous pages, this Marshal Tianpeng who was born in the wrong place never came out.

Very contradictory!

Cao Wei opened Qiandu, searched for "Journey to the West", and then entered "Journey to the West", put on a vest and posted a post, "Why is there such a big gap between Sun Wukong's strength?" ”

Cao Wei originally thought that he would wait a long time for someone to answer, but in less than a minute, he refreshed it, and as many as 100 people replied under the post.

"Do you need to ask? Nowadays, online novels are all written like this, don't they write a little twists and turns, a little bumpy, and a book is not finished in one go? ”

"The truth has come out from the second floor since ancient times!"

"That's right, if you want to write Sun Wukong to death, you will clean up those little monsters in a few clicks, and there will be no storyline, what else to watch?"

The first three answers, Cao Wei saw that there were black lines on his head, and 10,000 grass and mud horses were running in his heart. (To be continued......)
