This is the end of the story. It's not over yet, but that's it. This is the end point of my original intention, and I didn't intend to finish the rest of the book unless something happened, and since the current situation is that there are no conditions that would allow me to continue writing, it is time to end here.

This work challenges too many of the right answers that have become a foregone conclusion, and too much political correctness that has become the norm. It does not adhere to the basic rule that "fiction should be 'more' reasonable than reality", nor does it take seriously the basic technique of "criticizing well-known mistakes" that resonates with everyone.

Sell something or something, unless I'm going to write happily, or I'd better flash it. Mass-produced plot templates, unless I like it, it's easy to use and doesn't do what I write.

It sounds like I'm supposed to write lightly, but that's not the case.

Some readers have said that the update speed of this book is unscientific, and he is very right.

I started serializing directly with a backlog of more than 700,000 words, so that I could update it every day.

The real speed of creation of this film is one episode in four months (around 100,000 words). Even at this rate, there is a feeling of mental exhaustion and the need to recuperate.

All in all, it's quite a bothersome work for the author. What can be presented in the book and let the reader see is only the tip of the iceberg of what I have prepared, and the other parts have become the ingredients for the soup, forming the taste but not seeing the substance.

It was published in Taiwan and cut in half. It was put on the shelves in the e-book city, and the book city collapsed. This repetition proves that my luck has never changed since I was a child. The only thing that has changed is that I myself have become more and more stubborn, and more and more unwilling to give up if I am unlucky.

To be able to finish writing him has an explanation for the reader, for Xike, and for myself.

Since it's the last, let me ramble on for a moment. There are some things that are not necessary for some readers to know, but some people will want to know. The following are all private goods.

I thought, do a little quiz and ask: Is it part of Chinese culture to wrap your little feet?

I think many people will answer: yes.

But instead of asking: Is it part of Western culture to convict women who know how to heal, and then burn them to death?

I think most people will say no, and some people will be hesitant to say that it's culture. After all, no one has ever called it Western culture.

In fact, the former has been widely recognized as wrong in Chinese society, that is, everyone believes that this part of culture, even if it is a part of culture, should be eradicated. But the latter, in the West, there is a large group of people who still defend him, which makes the movement to clear the stigma of witches difficult.

Chinese might imagine that the witch cleansing and stigma campaign must have been super easy to accomplish, and that everything would go smoothly when the monument application was handed in, but in fact, these activists were constantly encountering all kinds of obstacles, both light and dark, and their requests were often lost.

Something that has been discarded and clean is considered part of the culture, and something that is still stuck to the top and unclean is not part of the culture?

It is easy for me to see that contemporary people do not look at both Chinese and Western cultures by the same standard. Westerners only have the good part of the culture, but China is the whole thing, including the bad part is considered culture. Obviously, the words "culture" in the words "Western culture" and "Chinese culture" have two different meanings.

It is not fair to make a cultural comparison in this situation.

All in all, this problem led to a bad consequence, which led to a scene where fugu was used as an ayu dish. In Western culture, there are actually poisonous internal organs, such as violent scriptures (smashing pagan babies and the like), but because this puffer fish is used as an ayu, everyone is told, "This fish can be eaten all over its body, and it must be cooked with the internal organs to eat it deliciously." As a result, the corpses were poisoned all over the floor, and no one even realized that the problem was that the fish was not cooked in the right way.

Those Westerners who have eaten puffer fish for 2,000 years, they themselves will use skillful techniques to clean the internal organs before putting them in the pot, they have been poisoned enough people to know where not to eat.

But I saw that my compatriots were still insisting on the whole thing.

One of the possible reasons why this is the case is that the thing is really bad, so the people who introduced Western culture to the East in the first place skipped that thing, not wanting to introduce it, thinking that it would be good to introduce the good parts. As a result, it has unconsciously created the image of Western culture as if there are only good things. Coupled with the fact that the chances of being used by the justified Westerner are low, the use of self-evident (and all other highly toxic offal) is usually used in the sense of "obvious" (which is a common derivative of self-evident). So even if you see someone using the word self-evident, you don't have to immediately react strongly, he may feel that this word is used by Westerners, it feels very trendy, and it is just used instead of obvious), and Chinese are not interested in Westerners who are not reasonable, so there are few opportunities for contact.

However, with the popularity of "Western-style unreasonableness", the frequency of this thing will gradually increase. After all, this is the ultimate solution, which can solve all mental "obstacles". It is difficult for someone who does not want to be reasonable to refuse his attraction.

Since this kind of thing doesn't come in directly, I first discovered the small, common and different thinking in various fields, and then I noticed that there is a huge difference between the thinking behind Western culture and Chinese culture. In order to find out what this huge difference was, I went around in big circles of knowledge, picking up pieces in various unrelated fields, and accidentally dug up a bunch of things that I hadn't read in books before.

The true face of Western culture is much different from the impression that ordinary people have of Western culture, and there are many contradictory aspects of that culture, and the balance is maintained by actively attacking each other. This model is the exact opposite of Chinese culture, which seeks to achieve the best of both worlds.

They are constructed by a clash of conflicting (each) central ideas. According to the results of the confrontation, the central idea of the era is determined (which also makes the central idea of each era very different, and in many cases the connotation is fundamentally different except for the same word to call the central idea).

So in conclusion, am I anti-Westernization? Wrong, I think there are a lot of good things to bring in. For example, the concept of hypotheses and laws (this is something with a fixed meaning, the only problem is that many people don't know its meaning), many people with Western education don't understand this, but it's a super good thing!) (There are many people who deliberately don't let others understand these two concepts, so that they can use all kinds of unreliable scientific theories to control others.) Many people deliberately confuse hypotheses as "theories". Those people don't let the public know that hypotheses are just "possible answers" put forward by scientists. The hypothesis can be imaginative, and it does not require to be verified by Ren He. The law requires rigorous verification)

The puffer fish meat is quite delicious, but I don't want to swallow it with the poisonous offal.

What's more, if you go directly to the territory of Westerners, you will find that selling puffer fish as sweetfish is not the consensus of all Westerners.

There is a group of Westerners, who feel that they are treasures, are losing in their own cultural circles, and fewer and fewer people identify with them. Therefore, they are anxious to find a new world that has not yet learned the lesson (not enough people have eaten puffer fish, and most of them have not been poisoned by the internal organs of puffer fish), and do not know how poisonous this thing is, and put their "treasure" there.

There is a group of Westerners who are very aware of how poisonous their internal organs are, and feel that the new world full of corpses is conducive to their plundering and manipulation, so they deliberately help sell puffer fish as sweetfish.

There is also a group of Westerners who see very well that the bad influence in their culture is expanding around the world, so they want to stop it. They know that if they don't stop it, they will have to face the consequences sooner or later.

There is a group of Westerners who find wisdom in other cultures that are not found in their own culture. They hope that different cultures can preserve their treasures in this era of globalization and share them with all mankind, and strive to do so.

Those who profit from the admiration of the foreign and intend to maintain this trend will say that criticizing Western culture is tantamount to hating the whole and all of the foreigners. Wrong.

I am enemies of the first two, and I am in the company of the last two. Not only reading my own books, but also the views of Western sinologists and philosophers have helped me a lot.

Just as the Tao is everywhere, it is possible for everyone to discover it. Many of the criticisms in the text have plurality (and no correspondence) from their counterparts, including many Westerners.

I even thought to myself, after writing and publishing, I found out that someone had discovered this matter decades earlier, and I really don't think that I am the only person in the world with bright eyes.

So, even telling me to shut up is useless. If it seems like I'm the only one saying that, it's just that time hasn't come yet.

If it weren't for the Westerners mentioning it in the article, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered (or it will take a long time to find out) that it is not the norm on earth to be able to get Buddhist scriptures in Taoist temples. In the past, I was so used to this thing that I couldn't imagine that such a thing didn't exist, and I took it for granted that I didn't even bother to make it last for a long time.

In an environment where many people find themselves, pagan religions (and pagan sects of the same religion) do everything possible to destroy each other, and only by law can they prevent them from killing each other. The situation is so serious that they may even think that there is no religion in the world that is not exclusive, and that all religions must regard accusing others of false gods as a necessary part of their faith.

In this era of Westernization, should we choose to inherit the spirit of Darwin (who proposed evolutionary theory) and challenge the important but erroneous ideas of our time, or should we inherit the spirit of Owen (Darwin's opponent, who defends creationism), because that thing occupies a large place in Western culture (which some people call human culture and is said to be as unchallengeable as creationism in Owen's eyes) and blindly support it to the end?

Many of Irving's heirs are still doing everything they can to reclaim their former glory in the West (in the course of Darwin's heirs' struggle with them, the Darwin's Fish and the FlyingSpaghetti Monster were born). I would recommend that people find out about these things. After that, I should understand one thing that I know very well: my criticism of Western culture in this book is nothing compared to their own family), does the so-called modernization mean that these guys are also brought in, and they who have been encircled and suppressed in the West can prosper on our territory?

Darwin or Owen? It's clear enough which I chose.

Out of the way I had the part about why I had these thoughts, I said, "Why I put these things in my novel. These are two completely different things. After all, I can also write essays (only on blogs, and mainland readers have to climb over the wall to see them), so I can just write essays. In fact, I don't have more readers of my essay than my novels.

It's all Rick's fault!(Finger hard)

What I can't accept is distorting the personalities of the characters in order to make the novel look good, or for the author's own convenience.

It's just that Xike's personality is to delve into these things, and he can't stop them. Readers can only learn about Rick through my descriptions, so they might think that I wrote Rick like this. But as an author, I know very well that Xike is like this, and I can't do anything about him.

He's the same person from all corners of the earth who comes to the same conclusion as me, the kind of person who would dig this thing up on his own. I can't distort his personality just to make myself write a little better (Rick doesn't share my opinion all the time, but in general, he's the kind of person I'd be willing to talk to).

He is a person who can develop advanced theories and organize the world in which he lives. There's no way I'm going to stop him from doing that.

If I could finish the Dark Academy chapter and then write the job search article, these qualities might be more obvious, but since the writing order is already like this, forget it.

With his personality, he has been destroyed by "religion" for another seven years, and it is not surprising that he will not have an opinion on the true God Religion.

There won't be this problem if you change the protagonist, but I found out about this problem after I chose Xi Ke as the protagonist, and it was too late.

If this set of books had not been cut in half, and were paid works, would I have restrained a little bit, at least made the book a little more commercial? Maybe, maybe, probably, not necessarily. After all, both me and Xike are stubborn.

In short, it is a foregone conclusion that a person with a personality like Xi Ke is the protagonist, and this set of books has been cut in half, and it is also a foregone conclusion. If you want to write a commercial work, you probably have to write a new work from scratch. Next time, remember to choose a protagonist who uses less brain and spends less time thinking.

I don't really care if this work can sign a contract with a website or something, but after confirming that the contract must hand over the full copyright (which is more complete than complete), I thought of the various publishing infreedoms that would result from handing over these copyrights, and the risk that if it was cut in half three times, the consequences would be serious, and the whole world in the book would be lost, so I decided not to sign it. (So don't break the bank and tip, I can't get it)

Let's talk about the writing technique. A lot of times I can write better, but I don't do that to match the work. For example, the most verbose part of the book, the concept of Tao, can actually be explained in a modern way, but I chose the interpretation method of the ancients, and tried to be as faithful as possible to the original appearance of the Tao Te Ching. Because that passage was originally about what the Etaro culture was like. The way of thinking that I can offer is not the way of thinking of Syke.

This is the limit that the work imposes on the author, and I can't break him.

It is necessary to restate this ancient concept in a modern way, and in the future, someday, there may be an opportunity.

In the third episode, I asked each character to express their thoughts based on their own personality based on the different views of different anti-abolitionists on the abolition of death. In fact, there is only one person in the same opinion as me, and the reader can guess who it is. It's not Rick.

Kuo He and Dai also echoed the basic split within the pro-abolitionist faction. One faction rushes forward endlessly, while the other faction perceives that the course needs to be corrected. In reality, I don't need to say which faction has the upper hand.

There is a school of thought in this day and age that a good novel means a novel that is far from reality. I think everyone can have their own standards for a good novel, and it's normal for everyone to have different tastes in reading books (and to work more or less to defend their tastes).

For me, each story has its own standards, just as each seed is supposed to grow into a different plant, and that's what the standard of the Three Laws of the Mage looks like, and I'm not going to write it as if it were some other work (other varieties of crops). If he can't be like anything else, that's where his value lies.

The author of this series of books has always been one person. The editor helped me proofread the manuscript, but didn't give any advice on what to put in. After all, a person's abilities are limited. Take the book review of the Water Margin and say: "If it weren't for the first thing in the world, let the literati face the wall for nine years and vomit ten liters of blood, how could they come here?"

There was a time when after I finished writing the novel, those guys actually did exaggerated things beyond my imagination, and had to modify the content to match their level.

From a scientific point of view, people will only continue to fall the frieze in this way when the probability is very low, which means that as long as there are enough human beings, there will be people who will continue to fall the frieze.

There are a lot of people on the earth where Xike lives. The one I live in is the same.

What happened to Syk wasn't the norm for Sarafaydo (if it was, it wouldn't have been reported), but it wasn't surprising that someone had come across it.

Although there seems to be a lot to say, I can't think of it for a while.

I repeat what I said when I published the first episode: "This story is pure fiction, and any similarities are purely coincidental. 」

One thing, judging from the content of the reader's message to me, this is common sense for them, and I shouldn't need to talk about it, but for the sake of the end (and for the sake of such a basic truth, there are still a bunch of people who sell their own sacred scriptures who oppose the "truth"), let me leave the biggest nonsense of this book in the afterword-

- The right way to read my books is not to just read my books.

We're destined to see you again.
