Chapter 214: The Finale
The four volumes of "Song of the Desert" have more than 2.3 million words, and this is the end of writing. The adventure story of Yudong and Qin Zhen can be regarded as a successful end. Here, I would like to thank all the friends who support me and support the desert, every one of your subscriptions and rewards is the reason why I insist on these 2.3 million words.
And what I promised you, I have also done it, and I will never keep changing.
This finale is to tell you about the causes and various endings of the book, and by the way, I will report to you about the experience and feelings in the writing process.
Let's start with the cause of "Song of the Desert" and the little secrets in the first volume.
There are many friends who feel that there are too many characters who appeared in the first volume, and here, I can finally reveal the reason to you.
Probably no one who has heard of Lop Nur does not know the name "Pengamu". This is one of the most famous scientists in our country in the eighties. In addition to his dedication to scientific contributions, a large part of the reason for his fame is that he mysteriously disappeared into Lop Nur at the end.
My initial inspiration for the first volume came from the Pengamu Incident in the 80s. If you have a careful friend, if you really check the information, you will find that the surnames of the "team members" in the book are the surnames of the members of Pengamu's team at the beginning. That's why there are so many seemingly inconsequential characters.
In the story, the true and the false, the false ↖ and the long, ↖ the wind ↖, the literature ↖, the ♀ ↑@et the real and the false, and each volume has a part of the story that is completely true. For example, the shaft of Lop Nur, the Yumen Pass, the beheading sacrifice on the West Tile Mountain in Yunnan, the customs and customs of Dali in Yunnan, the legend of the ancient country of Nanzhao, the strange mountain disaster of Meili Snow Mountain, etc., these are all true. It can be said that the content of these two volumes, to a certain extent, is based on some major real events.
So, every piece of information, every piece of history overview. I don't even dare to write nonsense, I will review and consider it repeatedly in advance. This also includes the scenery and cultural customs that I have personally seen in Yunnan.
As I see, I hear.
As for the later Tibet and the Bohai Sea, in fact, they were also based on a certain historical basis, and they were not completely fictional.
The legend of Shangri-La is well known. Hitler once rummaged through Tibet in search of the axis of the earth, and this matter may also be known to friends. There are also various myths and legends of Tibetan Buddhism, sacred mountains and sacred lakes, and everyone has heard of them to some extent.
For this reason, I read a lot of poems from The Biography of King Gesar in order to deepen my understanding of Tibetan culture. Of course, all I can check is the tip of the iceberg. The world's longest epic is equivalent to the ancient Babylonian epic Gilgamesh, the Greek epics Iliad and Odyssey combined, and the Indian epics Ramayana and Mahabharata combined.
The ability to fall into the city is not as good, and it can only be simple and one-sided. I will show you what I know about Tibet, the Himalayas, Ali, Metuo, Kailash, and the characteristics and teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.
The fourth volume of the Bohai Extreme Abyss, with Guixu, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Legend of Yuwang Jiuding, and the Legend of Qin Shi Huang as a line, connects them. These are indeed mysterious events in China for thousands of years. The personal opinions on historical figures in the article may be a little one-sided, or some of them may be emotional, and they are not enough. Also look at Haihan.
In order to figure out the long history of humanities, it is true that I read more and more miscellaneous books during that time than I read when I was in school (I didn't read books well when I was in school...... Ahem)
Including World War II. Hitler's story. It is indeed true that he has been to Tibet; Shambala Caves, too, are true; The axis of the earth, or really. The mysteries that these people know about may never be solved, but fortunately, we still have a story. As Qin Zhen said, not all mysteries. All have a chance to be unraveled.
Speaking of Qin Zhen, there may be some readers who don't like this person, thinking that he is too mediocre, without the omnipotence of the protagonist, without the loftiness of the protagonist, and without any shining aura......
After writing the whole book, I didn't explain or argue half a sentence for Qin Zhen. The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. Qin Zhen is in the book, and his position should be an ordinary person, even the kind that is so ordinary that he can grab a lot of people casually. However, the cognition and affection in his bones are rare and valuable in this society.
In other words, friends from the beginning to the end should be able to feel that although most of the whole book is read from Qin Zhen's point of view, the soul character is Xia Yudong. To be precise, the Dongshao who is so perfect that he doesn't look like a human is the real soul protagonist. Qin Zhen, on the other hand, is more like a bystander, he was accidentally brought into this adventurous journey, so he saw the incredible and the unheard of.
As for their final ending, in fact, I had a long hesitation when I wrote about it.
Now let me tell you about the three endings I thought about: the first is that Yudong is really dead. Because for me, if one of the main characters in this book has to die, it can only be Xia Yudong. Because he is too great, too fearless, too fearless of life and death. As long as he is there, it is impossible for him to let the people around him have an accident. So, if you die, it can only be him.
The second ending is actually a bit interesting, but it still seems a little sadistic. When they get to the final stretch of the road, the greatest danger they face is that if they think of what they fear most, it will come true. Including mermaids, Yaki Orochi, and many more.
What I thought at the time was that everything they went through later was just the realization of the fear in their hearts. In fact, they did not get out of the road of the prince Fusu at all, but stayed forever in the fantasy that fear came true. If you contact it carefully, you will find that the abyss, water, fear of heights, and willows are similar to pythons...... These were the things that Qin Zhen and Gu Jie were most afraid of.
The third ending is the ending that everyone sees now. To be honest, in the paragraph after Qingming, I hesitated for several hours whether to write or not. Out of my original intention, I didn't plan to let Xia Yudong appear again. I want to leave the ending of Yudong to you to judge for yourselves, his life and death, whether he sees or does not see Qin Zhen, leave it to everyone's imagination. That's the case. Maybe a hundred people look at the desert, and there will be a hundred different endings.
But in the end...... I was touched by the life and death they had walked together......
As an author, I can decide the outcome of any of them, but I feel that after these more than 2 million words are written, these characters seem to have souls and feelings. I was reluctant and unwilling to let them end up with a sad ending. More than a year, which is equivalent to the time of this book, Yudong has been away long enough. He should, and has the right and right to come back alive, and then appear in front of Qin Zhen, and the two of them quietly tasted a pot of clouds and mist.
That's it, since I wrote out the ending of Qin Zhen and Yudong, let's leave the ending of Qin Zhen and He Xi to everyone's imagination!
There isn't too much love in my book, and that's a downside. But I always feel it. The suspense adventure is written as a suspense and a risk. Beauty is just a touch-up, and it's definitely not the core of a suspenseful adventure. So please forgive me, I can't write too much about male and female love. After all, I'm writing about adventures, not romances.
I have long said that Allure is shallow in knowledge, thanks to your love. I'm happiest. There are still a large number of readers who are willing to see and understand something from my book. For example, religion, humanities, history, and even some unimaginable magnificent landscapes, etc. In this way, I feel that everything I put into my heart has not been wasted.
When writing this postscript. The mood is very complicated. Finally, I will tell you everything that is in my heart about this book. There is no need to dig holes, no more suspense, why it is written, how it is written, about the characters, about the ending, speak freely. But this at the same time. It will also mean the end of the book.
I used to think that when the desert ended, I would be as happy as crazy, because I was finally free! I've finally done what I promised, and I'm updating in. It must be finished! It has been officially serialized since April of 14, and it has been one year and one month. Thirteen months of unswerving and wholehearted dedication in exchange for the completion of the summer today. I thought my mood would be light, joyful, and even accomplished.
But I didn't expect that I would have a trace of loss and sentimentality. Because since today's three words 'the whole book is finished', I can no longer continue Yudong's story, and I can no longer write about their thrilling, joys, sorrows, and sorrows...... It's like having feelings, but now you have to face separation.
That feeling of amazement and loss may be exactly the same as Qin Zhen's last feeling. Because I have also gone through the ups and downs, every word I write with my heart is also condensed with joy, anger and sorrow. I've had support and praise, and I've endured insults and slander, but in the end, all of them will become precious in my heart.
Many people say that women can't write male frequency. But I just want to say that during this year, whether it was some major events in my life or any physical discomfort, I survived. I don't need anything else, just by this point, I think it's the capital I write on the male frequency.
At least, I write with my heart and I persevere. My efforts, my persistence, and everything I have paid with my heart will surely be seen by readers. So, in the next book, I will still be on the male frequency, and I hope to see your familiar names when the time comes.
Thinking about the years I have persevered and gritted my teeth, I may feel moved. Just like the characters in the desert books.
Next, I will go to Tibet to see the path that Yudong and Qin Zhen have walked. When we finish writing or reading this book, and then go to the places that appear in those books, I think we will all have an inexplicable feeling in our hearts, right?
With such a special mood, I went to see Tibet in the book "The Desert". By the way, the feelings for each character will be precipitated a little, so that I can devote myself to the next book as soon as possible. At the end of my trip to Tibet, it was time for me to open a new book. I'm not Yudong, I don't dare to leave for too long...... Because I'm afraid you'll forget me...... (嘤嘤嘤~~)
You can create a group and add me to it. In this way, we can talk about the desert, talk about the new book, and by the way, I will send you some pictures of my visit to Tibet, and then point it to you: "Here, that chapter of the book...... This is where Yuto Station......"
The end of this book is also the beginning of the next one. Once again, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all of you who have accompanied me through this long time, and we will see you again for our new book.
Finally, I will present the theme song of the desert "Wild Song" in advance
Crooked:
Word: Sin Falls Down
Singing: Civet cats (Allure's friend, I think the most amazing male voice in the radio drama CV)
Time turns the long river of time
Whoever is in charge, fate reincarnates cause and effect
A lifetime of wandering asks when the dust will fall
Laughing and looking at the wind and clouds changing color
The fog is deep and the yellow sand is desert
Who is guarding the mountains and rivers?
Sanskrit singing, Kowloon Zhenguo
The merits and demerits have their own posterity to comment
The mountains and rivers are elegy, and the sky is wide
Fatalistic cause and effect are unpredictable
The country is picturesque, who is singing
Sacrifice the legend with your life
How can I let go of the heavy responsibility of calming fate in this life
How can we forget the moment of life and death that we have walked together
Will a page of history record that you have stained mountains and rivers with blood?
Who is keeping the promise alone
Sing a lifetime of cold and wild songs
Listen to the iron horse Jinge outside the Yumen Pass
Who was there, silent in the cold
The holy mountain falls in the snow
In the truth, cause and effect are suddenly in trouble
The sun rises and the moon sets, and there is no infernal ghost country
Reign in the world, why fear dragons and snakes
Ten miles of Youtan, white bone inscription
Fate is intertwined in the sand
The yellow spring is blue, and the heavenly way is geometric
Who bears the sin of Allure
Life and death are wide, and there are thousands of dangers
I would also like to walk with you
Outside the ancient city, there have already been ten miles of white bone Borneo
The soul song of the lonely death sounded again in the abyss
Who is guarding the immortal legend of the mountains and rivers?
After all, it was just silence
When will we be liberated?
Tenzuna falls
The wraith spoke
The law of death behind kingship
Lost in all directions
Ten Thousand Tribulations of Karma Fire
The fog broke through in the skylight
The pinnacle of kingship
Looking down on the country
Bitter Sea Bliss
Finally liberated
Who is willing to spend his life in exchange for the country's doom
is not afraid of the wilderness, and portrays his face with coldness
The truth of the falsification of the years has not yet had time to tell the world
Become a demon in the midst of all calamities
Not afraid of the destiny of heaven
(To be continued......)
