Actually, I am not really a writer, and I wrote this book entirely by my personal hobby and persistence.

The story of "The Spirit Warrior" has been conceived and studied for a long time, and I didn't plan to write it as a fantasy novel, but I just wanted to combine our Chinese mythology, especially those mythological stories in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and then explain these stories in a scientific or science fiction way as much as possible through my story.

It's a pity that my personal scientific knowledge is really limited, and many myths still can't be interpreted in a science fiction way for a while, so when many friends ask me what type of work my book belongs to, I always answer with a smile: science fiction + fantasy.

The part that can be explained by science belongs to science fiction, and what cannot be explained is all drawn to the fantasy side.

When I started writing the story, the main direction was to connect many famous or oral myths and legends that have occurred in China over the past 5,000 years, with the protagonist Song Yufei, and interpret those seemingly magical and fantasy contents in a slightly sci-fi way.

Later, I found out that the coverage of the knowledge points in this is too wide, there is no team, and the connection of the story echoes before and after, including timelines, places, characters, etc......

One person is almost an accomplishable mission. After thinking about it, I still focus on the framework of the story and write it down!

Therefore, the names of many places in the works and the corresponding descriptions are mostly incompatible in the land of China today......

When I was writing, my friends who knew that I was writing didn't care, as readers, they didn't particularly care about this, they just wanted the attraction of the story, whether it seemed that they could make up the pictures in the work, whether it would stimulate the secretion of dopamine, and make themselves feel pleasure in the process of reading......

In the follow-up stories, I also tried to cater to their tastes as much as possible, as for the locations, the names and genders of the characters, they were all set around the story.

Here, I would like to reveal to you a thing that I didn't want to say:

The book "Soul Warrior", which was created in 2006, only wrote 4 chapters in the first year, each chapter has no title, and the number of words is not fixed.

Because before this book, I also wrote an urban novel, which was serialized at the starting point in 2005, and wrote a total of more than 60,000 words, and later ......

The story can be written, but the content is not very healthy, there are more swear words, and the relationship between men and women is chaotic, so I gave up, until I carefully read the work "China's Unsolved Mysteries", and the idea of stringing these unsolved mysteries into a story suddenly appeared in my heart, and I had the idea of "spirit".

From 2006 to 2008, less than 20 chapters were written over a two-year period......

In 2009, when I was a father, this work was shelved......

Occasionally, I think about the development of the story, but I quickly forget it

Fortunately, I have a habit of preserving all kinds of materials, and this work has been passed through several times since 2006, through various computers, USB flash drives, mobile hard disks, etc., and it has been preserved intact.

...... 2012

It's a little ashamed to say.,I decided to improve this work.,And then I sorted out a set of simple outlines for myself.,There is an outline and no outline.,The difference is very big.,There is an outline that can be foreshadowed in advance in the outline.,Where it's not suitable.,You can also modify it in advance.,Don't use the outline.,Direct codeword,Most of the more you write, the more difficult it will be.。

After the outline is prepared, the subsequent writing is indeed much faster, you only need to carefully construct those details, the words are fine, when you encounter problems, look back at the outline, it is really not good, make some simple modifications.

Because I use my spare time, my writing speed is unusually slow, and it is good to have one sentence a week, and sometimes I don't even move a word for months in a row......

Fortunately, through continuous persistence, the work "Spirit Body Warrior" is over......

Attentive readers can actually find that there are some differences in the writing of the early and later stages of the story, after all, as you get older, the content of the tapping between your fingers seems to have experienced the baptism of time.

As for the "Introduction", it was added after 20 chapters, and many readers will find it strange that the introduction is actually not very well written, so readers don't know what I want to express. I recommend that readers start reading directly from the first episode.

Then, after a little bit of a sentence, go back and read the introduction......

In any case, the year 2022 can be regarded as a successful end to the creation that lasted nearly 16 years.

Before the release of the work "Spirit Body Warrior", it was already in the state of completion, concealing the truth, readers and friends, please don't scold me......

Routinely update two words a day, before publishing, adjust the format, and fix typos......

Some inconsistencies will also be revised.

……

Let's talk about the story quote of "Spirit Body Warrior".

First of all, the characters:

Xuanyuan: The reflection is the Yellow Emperor, the origin of Chinese civilization, who took a candle dragon to the moon in the later period, in order to reflect the legend of "the Yellow Emperor riding the dragon".

Chiyou: This name hasn't changed, it's domineering enough, just use it, hehe.

Zhuhua: This name is fictitious, I designed it myself, mainly to correspond to "China", after Xuanyuan finally unified the country, called the united tribes collectively called "Zhuhua" land.

Song Shaohua: The name doesn't mean anything, it's just for the sake of smoothness.

Song Yufei: At first, it was also for the sake of smoothness, but it is somewhat strange for a male character to use this name, in fact, it is also my selfishness, I want to capture a small number of female readers through this name.

Xu Zihan: As the leader of the Song father and son, this name only plays the role of a code name...... At least it sounds good......

Chishui: The name is very tangled, in the Book of Mountains and Seas, the battle that helped the Yellow Emperor break Chiyou was the Battle of Zhuolu, which was ...... "god" according to the description of mythological books

The battle of Zhuolu was basically a spell war in the early days, and the reason why Chiyou was able to break Chiyou was because the Yellow Emperor invited a witch named Lu, who was a daughter of drought.

Among the few women, there is only this "Lu", I want to write her in, and I consulted some relevant information in the later stage, and finally named Chishui, and the male protagonist constitutes CP.

Zilong: I won't say much about this, the famous general of the Three Kingdoms, he has no other purpose, he just wants to use his IP, because of his high popularity.

At the same time, the power of his attributes was increased, and he was out of fire, which exactly echoed the title of "Emperor Yan", but it was not reflected in the work.

Chang Yi: Another name for Chang'e, the original meaning is to write Chang'e, resident on the moon, and later Xuanyuan was appointed as the Guanghan Moon Explorer, which is also to draw out the word "Guanghan" and reflect the legend of "Chang'e to the Moon".

Dayi: Needless to say, Dayi is his real name, another name for Houyi, and the story depicts him driving the moon and shooting down 9 warships brought by Chiyou, reflecting the legend of "Houyi shooting the sun".

Four elephants: Xuanfeng (Mu Huang), Xiao Wu (Baxia), Chenming, Mo Yuan, the origin of the name is basically well documented, for example, the name of "Chenming" is called a white tiger screaming in the early morning, the sound is violating for hundreds of miles, the white tiger is present, then the country is peaceful; Xuanfeng's move "Langluo Chang Closed" is also a reference to "the West is called Chang Lang Wind" in "Shuowen Jie Zi"......

Zhu Rong: Changed to a female warrior, with short silver hair, a strong personality, brave and good at fighting, able to operate the flame attribute, and at the same time is the heroine's best friend.

Gonggong: It was also written as a female character, and I was going to change my name, but I really didn't find out when's name, and then Gonggong's anger touched the mountain, which was also integrated into the work.

Xingtian: It's basically impossible to fight without a head, but how to reflect this myth, I've also taken great pains, readers who have time, can go back and savor it again.

Pangu, Nuwa: Needless to say, simply use some sci-fi content to prevaricate the past, to be honest, I'm not very satisfied myself, but after all, it's not the protagonist, not even a supporting role, so I just skimmed by.

Chang Xian, Da Hong, Li Mu, Ying Long: These people around the Yellow Emperor have made outstanding contributions, and in the novel, their abilities are fictionalized, just to increase the story.

The Four Ghost Generals: The Ghost is also a recognized imp in mythology, and there are four characters with their own characteristics, as for the four names of Outlaw, Phantom, Netherworld, and Spirit, they are all fictional.

Twelve Envoys: Nothing special, the names are all selected from the information

……

Artifact:

The artifact mentioned here does not include the hero's Heavenly Wind Thunder Gun, because this is my fiction.

The artifacts that can be corresponded to are as follows:

Haotian Tower→ Tower of Babel, this tower was once directly connected to the sky, what is in the sky? Heavenly Palace or Heavenly Bow, are the major heavenly gates in mythology the entrance connecting Haotian Tower?

Tonifying Stones→ Colorful Stones

The Celestial Bow → the Lunar Bow is our current moon, which is hollow and formed much older than the Earth, and such a huge star has become a satellite of the Earth that is not proportional to it.

There are huge opening and closing lines, as well as craters with similar openings, anyway, it is not possible to study them at close range at present, so it is directly covered with science fiction content...... In fact, there are indeed a lot of secrets of the moon.

Xuanyuan Sword → Strike Sword

Celestial Mirror→ Celestial Stone

Demon refining pot → demon candle

Shennong Ding→ Kui Kui Ding (kuí kuí dǐ

g) It is the tripod of the Yaksha refining ammunition, and the name is not mentioned in the text, but it is occasionally mentioned

The phoenix qin → instrument played by Mu Huang when he sings, and it has the effect of improving the power of attributes

Donghuang Zhong → Donghuang War Halberd, there is no design for the battle with Mo Yuan in the text, mainly because he fought his younger brother Mo Yi in the early stage, and he fought the dragon clan again, which seems to be nothing new, so the weapon originally designed by Mo Yuan did not appear.

Qiankun bag → Qiankun shell, which mainly refers to Xiao Wu's tortoise shell

The Seal of the Heavens→ the Ice Spring Seal, and Chenming's weapons were later passed on to Yi Jun, and Yi Jun's strength increased greatly

Hao Tianyu → Hao Tianyu, and Chi You got a strong strength with this

……

There are many similar allusions in the story, and there is a buried stroke at the end, that is, some things that will happen after ancient times still need to be dispatched by the spirit body general, so there will be no more verbose here.

Looking back on the more than ten years of hard work, in fact, I am full of emotion, and being able to complete the work "Spirit Body Warrior" can be regarded as adding a heavy ink spot to the journey of life. No one is perfect, but I like to be the best in what I'm a little better at.

Think back to the course of your life over the past few decades:

Participated in school-level knowledge competitions

In order to change the configuration of the game console, I was stunned to learn by myself, and personally repaired the circuit crystal oscillator of the original MD, and since then I have obtained a higher welding technology, and all kinds of electrical products in the later home are repaired by myself, from small lamp lighting, switch sockets, to computer TV, turbo washing machine, coffee machine, it is expected to be before and after, saving a lot of repair costs for the family.

As the main basketball player of the school team, the physique is still quite good, during the school team, the bounce is super good, 1, 73 meters tall, you can directly grab the standard basket, but unfortunately you can't dunk yet, now, I'm afraid I can't even touch the rebound.

He has won the Sales Elite Award

Participating in the municipal CS competition, our team won the fourth place in the city (the first and second places were the second and third places in the country respectively), of course, I was the main player. This also laid the foundation for my later love of computer games, which I still can't stop wanting to this day.

Later, after working, it was a little rewarding in the company.

Not to mention the work, it was relatively smooth, during which he participated in the company's annual meeting, served as a host, sang songs, participated in the creation of songs, and recorded as the male number one.

When I got the CD engraved with my album, I was in a surging mood, and this was the first record in my life!

Now, my first novel has been completed, and I am indescribably excited, and the characters, scenes, and various dynamic scenes in the story are constantly flashing through my mind.

The biggest difference between reading books and watching TV is that the depiction of words, the images generated in the human brain are different from person to person, a person with an extremely rich imagination can make up a variety of hearty scenes through simple words, but for some readers who look at ten lines at a glance and pay attention to the direction of the storyline, if they can be accompanied by illustrations, they will form a kind of inertial thinking, which can enhance the sense of reading.

So, I'm trying to learn how to draw illustrations again, but of course, I'm still self-taught...... It's still a little difficult, but fortunately, I drew a comic when I was young, and for the comic book that was in full swing at that time, my comic was not worth mentioning, and I occasionally flipped it out and watched it myself, and there was a trace of charm in it.

……
