I'm sorry, Ji Danbing's story will be on the shelves tomorrow.

I thought about it for so long, wrote it for two whole months, and more than 200,000 words, and now it is on the shelves. In fact, it is only a matter of time before it is put on the shelves, but I still have to apologize to the readers. This book is not as grand as other books, it can write 23 million words or more, and its overall plan is more than 1 million words, which can only be regarded as a short story in the vast world of online literature. Although it is put on the shelves a little early, it will not let readers break the bank too much. I would also like to take this opportunity to talk about the first volume that should have been summarized.

"How the Rivers and Lakes Didn't Exist" (I gave him a nickname, the story of Ji Danbing) was my first book in Zongheng. The story line of this book has already been clearly conceived by me, but the only ones that make me feel very difficult are the passages that can make the reader laugh. Because the style of this book is a bit heavy, the reason why I wrote so many laughs is to make it easier for readers to read.

Several major stalks in the first volume of the story, such as "One dynasty and the first are better than a thousand years of cultivation, and the magic power is not as strong as the monstrous", the "sigh must" of Chongyangzi's fortune teller, Li Xiaoqian's "I know where I hurt" after being beaten, and the bridge of the earthquake chapter that satisfies me the most, are all derived from real experiences in my life. When I write, I not only laugh, but also feel very warm and nostalgic, and the laughter and laughter of those friends are the good times in my life that I have seen but can never go back.

The first volume of the story mainly paves the background of that era, and the main line is to tell you that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, after the Song and Jin wars, only half of the rivers and lakes remained, but they were still trying to survive in the cracks. Through a relatively heavy narrative, we take everyone into the background of that special era, experience the difficulties of the various sects in the rivers and lakes, and feel the abruptness and sadness in Ji Danbing's memories.

But in the first volume, I have two great regrets, that is, in the two characters of Yuantong and Bai Jingxing. First of all, Yuantong, my original idea was to design Yuantong as a particularly psychedelic character, I originally wanted to let his Zen Hui Temple be built in full swing, open the door to recruit more than 100 disciples, and then because its location was too close to the power center of the Southern Song Dynasty and was feared by the imperial court, and was finally banned on the charge of "trumped-up", after that, Yuantong suddenly escaped from prison and disappeared without a trace, creating the psychedelic and pathos of this character. I also want to let everyone feel the difficulties of survival in that era through the story of Zenhui Temple. But in the end, due to the lack of plot conception, Zenhui Temple ended early when Ji Danbing and others returned to Lin'an. The main thing that restricts me from continuing to conceive is that I can't stop changing. It can be said that Jianghu can achieve a little success now, there are many readers, and it is a very important factor to continue. As the saying goes, only by constantly changing can you get more recommended positions.

Bai Jingxing's regret lies in the limitation of the first-person perspective. He was originally a person with extremely high martial arts, and he was very familiar with the emperor, but his heart was in the rivers and lakes, not in the government and the opposition. Bai Jingxing once said to Lu You that being an idle cloud and a wild crane is not a joy in life. This is the helplessness in Bai Jingxing's heart, and it is also the helplessness in my heart. I will explain the follow-up plot little by little, in fact, through several secret conversations between Ji Danbing and the emperor in the second volume, I can already feel that the emperor actually does not want the existence of the rivers and lakes, and he is afraid of it. You must know that being jealous of the emperor is not a good thing. Bai Jingxing saw through this, so he blindly compromised, just looking for a balance between the emperor and the rivers and lakes, even in the cracks, to keep the rivers and lakes safe.

He did, but he died.

Why he died will also be explained in the follow-up plot. It's just that that's going to be very far behind.

I am a die-hard martial arts fan, and I have always thought that one of the most classic questions in martial arts novels is, what are the rivers and lakes?

Each martial arts master is answering this question, and they show us different but equally wonderful stories with their own understandings.

The rivers and lakes I understand should be able to fight the world with swords despite being restrained, and they should be able to help the world and live far away from the temple.

In our time, although there are no such rivers and lakes, many people have that kind of rivers and lakes in their hearts. It's just that you can't do it, you can't get it, you can't enjoy it.

Even if the people in the rivers and lakes are wrong, there is nothing wrong with the rivers and lakes. Because of the pursuit of rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes will disappear. (If I can't read it, I'll be hysterical, because I can't speak too clearly.) Ha ha...... ）

If in the plot of the first volume, Ji Danbing has no protagonist aura at all, then from the second volume, the rise of Ji Danbing will make everyone feel that the aura of this protagonist is still not so bright...... Hahaha......

But I believe in myself, and the story I conceive is still very interesting. In addition, some people asked me, where did Li Xiaoqian go? Could it be that he also mysteriously withdrew like Yuantong?

That's impossible!hahaha...... Li Xiaoqian, as a character who has traveled through time, has contracted more than 70% of the jokes in the book, if Ji Danbing is a joke, then Li Xiaoqian is the most obvious joke. He will return at an opportune time, and that time needs to reflect his villain character who is blindly seeking profit.

Finally, I'd like to send a round of thanks before I put it on the shelves.

First of all, I would like to thank my editor-in-charge fried rice, a very approachable female editor (xiao) editor (niang), who chatters nonsense with us in the group every day, and the atmosphere has always been very good.

Secondly, I would like to thank all the friends who gave me encouragement and support in the process of coding words, and thank you for your recognition of "How the Rivers and Lakes Didn't Exist".

Especially thanks to the three views of the gods, the moment I received the chapter review, I almost didn't go crazy, in the group of all kinds of display, by the brothers all kinds of envy, the three views of the god of encouragement gave me great motivation, let me feel that I may really be okay.

Thanks to the deputy commander of the D committee, he is the first person I have seen chasing more, and at the same time recommending Haipi Knife's masterpiece "I'm Really Not a Sword Fairy", because of work and code words, although I read it very slowly, but I have to say, his writing is very good, and the whole book is also very comedy.

Thanks to me as Ji Danbing, he is the first hardcore to use the names of the characters in the book, although he always likes to post a bunch of comments, and frequently drowns out the chapter reviews given to me by the three views of the great god, but, I have to say, his chatter comments have always given me a lot of motivation.

Thanks to Ji Zhu'e, thank him for helping me push the book, he is the first reader who claims to be a fan of "Jianghu", and he always warns me when I am weak in writing, I can't break the update, don't allow eunuchs, let me spur myself on this, be able to organize my thoughts, and continue to code words.

Thanks to Situ Qingchen's cameo, his name will always remain in this Jianghu, even if the Jianghu is not there, his name will always be there. (At the same time, I recommend Situ Qingchen's masterpiece "The Book of Enlightenment"!)

Finally, I want to be cheeky and ask for a first order. I'm a person who can't hold my back, and I want to know how many people are reading my books. So, I beg friends who are reading in silence and want to continue reading, please give a first order on the day of release, even if you haven't read the next chapters, please let me see your existence.

Please rest assured, as long as the rivers and lakes are still there, I will never slack off!

(Please support the genuine reading of the vertical and horizontal Chinese network, do not write the fun pavilion, the fun pen pavilion...... The manuscript fee is also my motivation to keep writing!)
