Outside the text: Written when the word count of "The Gods Supplement the Heavens" reaches 100,000 words

Originally, I never thought of writing the following text in a separate chapter. Originally, I wanted to write something similar in the writer's testimonial area in the future. But when I looked at the "Gods Mending the Heavens" I wrote from the beginning, Nan Chen was full of emotion for a while.

What Nan Chen wanted to say was far from being able to be fully described in the 500 words limited by the testimonial area. If this affects the reading rhythm of some book lovers, Nanchen would like to apologize here.

From March 31, 2017, all the way to today ~ April 29, 2017, Nanchen hesitated but persistently left a series of track traces that are getting longer and longer.

From 0 words to 2 . 380,000 words from 2. 380,000 words to 5 . 550,000 words from 5. 550,000 to 80,000 words, from 80,000 to 100,000 words. Nan Chen's "The Gods Mending the Heavens" is like a young child who has grown up from birth and has seen it grow day by day. From the cry of "babbling" to the soft laughter of "giggling", I think it will continue to grow up, youth, and mature day by day. Through the ignorant years, through the flower season and rainy season, through the ...... Through loneliness and hesitation.

Along the way, with too many perceptions and insights that have never been felt in the past life experience, Nanchen seems to have entered another world, and life is different from the past.

In the ordinary world of reality, there are too many joys, sorrows, births, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred, reunion and separation, many of which will make it difficult for the people in it to control; The same is true in Nan Chen's "The Gods Mending the Heavens". There are also many emotional entanglements and grievances, but this is a world that I control.

Yes, a world in which I am in complete control. In the beginning, I was really self-righteous all along. Even in a WeChat exchange with a friend, some proudly showed off similar words. But as he wrote, Nanchen was shocked to find that from the moment he started to conceive the overall skeleton of the story, scribbled down the outline of the novel, and then entered it into the computer, everything was not what I thought it was, and there wasn't much I could control.

With the increase in the number of words and the promotion of the plot, Nan Chen often had to overturn some of his original plans or related plans, overturn the plot he originally set, and turn over the fate he originally set for some characters in the book.

It turns out that the process of writing is really the same as the process of growing up: full of variables, too many storms, and infinite possibilities. I think when Mr. Jin Yong wrote a martial arts novel serialization for "Ming Pao", I really don't know if he had the same feelings? I really want to know! Looks like we'll have to find a few biographies of him to read.

I started watching martial arts in the fourth or fifth grade of primary school, and I was very obsessed with it during that time, and I watched a lot of it scattered.

I remember that in the late eighties and early nineties of the last century, a martial arts novel was really not cheap. At that time, when I was about ten years old, of course, I didn't have any specific concept of money, of course, of course, maybe because of this, over the years, although Nanchen was not short of money, he actually had no money.

I don't remember the exact year, but I was probably still in elementary school at that time. My aunt, who responded to the call of the great leader when she was young and went to the frontier to participate in the great cause of socialist construction, once came back from Xinjiang to visit her relatives, and of course, her uncle came back with her. To me as a young boy at the time, they were complete strangers, not even familiar strangers. But my mother and her two sisters who had stayed in their hometown were very happy about it.

One day, we went shopping in the town together, and I didn't seem to be going to school that day, so I guess it was a Sunday. At that time, the commodity economy was far less prosperous than it is now, and various debates about the market economy were still in vogue, the most famous of which was the debate over what the market economy was.

Time and practice are the only criteria for testing whether the truth is correct or not, and this has been proven by time and practice itself.

To get back to the point, the supply and marketing cooperatives were still the main business entities in our town at that time, and there was no one. A group of adults walked into the supply and marketing cooperatives with me, a child. I remember the general situation at that time was like this:

My aunt said she wanted to buy me a gift and asked me what I wanted. I said I was going to buy fiction books. My mom was shouting at me not to buy it, not to spend money. My aunt asked me to pick whatever I wanted. Yes, what can I do if I buy a book? So I walked to the counter where the books were sold, and through the counter glass I saw the "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", the author was a man named Gu Long. I've heard of it before, and it seems to be quite famous.

There weren't many books on the counter, and I couldn't see that I wanted much other than the comic strip of "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness". But what I want most is the "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", which is divided into three parts. Anyway, at the time, I looked at it and was very entangled in my heart, and finally decided to ask for this Gu Long's work.

Big sister, a beautiful young salesperson, took out this novel to me from the glass counter. My mother took it and looked directly at the price on the back cover, and said, which probably means: It costs more than 40 yuan to buy a book (Nan Chen remembers that it seems to be this price at the time, I can't remember the specifics, in short, my mother thinks this book is too expensive), so expensive, don't buy it; You don't dare to ask for it again, try it.

Now that I think about it, as a child, how could I understand the twists and turns between adults? I'm afraid of the threat in my mother's words, but I just want to stay there.

My aunt wanted to pay for it for me, but in retrospect, she didn't want to buy it at the time, because in those days, people's monthly income was only how much.

In the end, pulling and pulling, between adults and adults, looking at me who was unrelenting, compromised with each other, and bought me the comic book of "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness", which is not complete, it seems that it is only a total of five copies from the sixth to the tenth episode, hehe.

I didn't get the "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" I wanted, of course, but when I was in junior high school, I borrowed it from a classmate and read it intermittently, and he stole his father's.

After my aunt came back that time, it seems that she came back a few more times, and then she never came back. Now it seems that he is no longer in this world.

Distance can produce beauty, but distance can also dilute the emotions between relatives, friends, and those who love each other. Whether it is the distance in the real world, or the difference and difference in material wealth and social status.

There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is next to each other ~ The poet sang the praises of the great emotions of human beings, which will not fade because of the distance of time and space, and is full of great romanticism.

As the saying goes: the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor in the downtown no one asks. What about this proverb?

There is a saying: the ideal is always beautiful, but the reality is always skinny.

We all have ideals, and since kindergarten, we have always been asked by teachers, parents, and other elders: What do you want to do in the future? He even asked what kind of daughter-in-law or husband we would marry in the future, when we were still young.

In today's society, there is a popular saying: People must always have some ideals, in case they are realized. This seems to be said by Jack Ma of Alibaba, and I don't know if the original is him. But it is undeniable that I know and remember this sentence after watching the video about his speech in Tencent Video.

yes, you have to have some ideals, huh? What if, what if?

Most of Nanchen's childhood ideals have long been shattered, and many of the ideals of that year only stayed in the proposition essays assigned by the teacher back then. And the words about ideals that have been written have long been scattered in the long wind and rain that life has already passed.

On the road of growth, our dreams have been shattered countless without traces, but we are still moving forward. Some people no longer have so-called ideals, some are just chicken feathers in daily life, or plain as water, or wind and snow, or bright lights, or lustful dogs and horses, and drunk gold fans. There are also people who, after an ideal is shattered, will resolutely continue to move forward, even if their heads are broken and bleeding, their dreams will come true. There are also people who will put on an ideal for themselves, re-embark on the road, and try to enter a new world.

It may be that everything is predestined, just like there is life and death, and there is a man and a woman. Some people may say that there are neither men nor women. Yes, it is very right, turning over the thick history of China for thousands of years, there are no men or women in ancient times, and it is not unique to today's society. According to the theory that existence is reasonable, everything is reasonable as long as it exists.

Everyone has their own life, and how they live is really just their own business. We don't want others to interfere in our lives, and that's what others want.

Looking up at the starry sky of the universe, where did we come from and where will we go?

The Buddha said: We have come from where we have come and will go where we will go.

The Buddha said that the Buddha said it, but it seems that he didn't say anything, and it seems that everything has been said and encompassed.

It turns out that everything is the best arrangement, and this sentence is also one of the popular chicken soups nowadays. Nanchen secretly thinks that the best here is not only good, it can actually be the worst, the worst, the most dejected, the most ruthless, the most cruel that each of us is feeling...... It can be the ugliest or the most beautiful, and maybe it can be just that: war and peace.

Everyone, except for the madmen, prays for peace and opposes war. In fact, normal people don't need much, it's just a matter of knowing etiquette, that's all.

"The Gods Mend the Heavens" I love Qin Nanchen hereby wish all book friends a happy "May Day". I would like to use this article to recall those lost years and commemorate those who have passed away. Saturday, April 29, 2017. Today the sun is very good and bright, the blue sky is cloudless, and the crape myrtle trees outside the window are beautiful.
