The little half-immortal thought that he would die of exhaustion on the way to carry water.

But gradually, a force filled the limbs again, and this power became more and more abundant, and the steps of the little half-immortal became lighter and lighter, and in less than an hour they had filled the two large tanks of water.

The pure monk looked at the results, he was very shocked, this person was even more powerful than he thought!

"Not bad!"

The pure monk praised the little half-immortal, and he seemed to be very satisfied.

The little half-immortal raised his hands and realized that his body had a power that he didn't usually have!

"Old-timers, this power, this power"

In the past, the little half-immortal didn't talk about carrying water, but he was tired like a dog when he chopped firewood yesterday!

But!

At this moment, I realized that I could pick up two large tanks of water from such a distance today, and I was actually not tired! The little half-fairy couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"That's your own power. "Pure monk Dao.

This is the first time that the little half-immortal has truly felt his own power, he used to always catch the natural power of heaven and earth, but the power that just gushed out was no weaker than the borrowed power, if he could combine these two powers

That night, the little half-immortal continued to sleep in the courtyard, he had become accustomed to this kind of meditation, and continued to comprehend the mental method, this night, the world he entered was neither pure white nor colorful.

It's boundless darkness, it's the real darkness, the darkness that swallows everything, and he can't even see his own hands when he enters this darkness.

The little half-immortal felt very depressed in this darkness, he felt that there was a force in his body flowing around, he had nowhere to vent, and his heart became more and more irritable, and he faintly felt that the power was about to break out of his body, and suddenly heard a Buddha voice like a heavenly sound.

The voice of the Great Compassion Mantra came slowly, with a soothing miracle effect, the mood of the little half-immortal slowly calmed down, and the power also dispersed.

The little half-immortal listened quietly to the sound of the Buddha, and the world turned pure white again.

After waking up this time, the pure monk sat in front of him uprightly, and before the pure monk could speak, the little half-immortal had already gotten up, and kowtowed three heads to the pure monk respectfully.

If it hadn't been for the pure monk who rescued him in time last night, he would have gone mad by now.

Before starting today's topic, let's review yesterday's content, yesterday roughly talked about the use of narrative in this expression, as far as everyone's message feedback is concerned, most friends use it very well, and a small number of friends may still not be very clear about the difference between narration and description, here is a little mention.

Narrative is an explanation and statement of the experience of the characters and the development and change of things, and it is a very general statement of a fact, giving people a feeling of being as plain as water. (The higher requirement is to use various narrative techniques, such as flashbacks, interpolations, supplements, etc., to break the flat and direct narrative, resulting in ups and downs and waves in the text.) ）

Description is to use figurative language to depict the state of characters or scenery concretely, giving people an immersive feeling and a strong sense of image.

Take a chestnut

Narrating: In the winter of 1945, he died on the streets of Chongqing.

In the winter of 1945, a cold corpse lay on the streets of Chongqing, with his eyes open, covered in wounds, wearing only thin clothes, and pedestrians on the road hurriedly walked by, without looking at him more.

Comparing the expressions of the two sentences, I believe everyone can see the difference between these two expressions.

Descriptions are more detailed than narratives, and it is very difficult to cover everything in an article. Let's start with the general direction.

From the perspective, it can be divided into positive description and side description, from the content can be divided into character description and environmental description, character description can be divided into language, action, demeanor, psychology, appearance description, and environmental description can be divided into natural environment and social environment description.

Next, let's use a fight description in "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" to talk about how to better apply the description to writing.

Wang Chao first surged blood on his face, and then anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and he secretly calculated in his heart.

"If you have revenge, you don't want to take revenge, Lao Tzu wants to take revenge today, and by the way, you can get a handful. Wang Chao thought quickly in his heart, "There are so many people, how are you going to fight? Grab a handful of money and leave?

commented on the foreshadowing before the fight, using demeanor description and psychological description.

The depiction of demeanor is a series of movement changes of a person's facial features in a specific situation, which is actually a dynamic portrait depiction.

Using demeanor to describe the characters can express the inner world of the characters, and the second can portray the characters' personalities.

In this paragraph, there are not many descriptions of demeanor, what we can see is the sentence "blood gushes to the face" to express the anger of the protagonist, in fact, if you want to add more demeanor descriptions, you can also describe the eyes, the feeling of glaring angrily.

When using demeanor description, it should be noted that it must be combined with the situation in which the character is located, and cannot be separated from the need to portray the character and express the theme, and write the demeanor for the sake of writing the demeanor.

Psychological description is to use language and words to describe and analyze the inner world of the characters, reveal the inner life of the characters, and portray the characters' personalities.

This depicts the protagonist's complex psychological change process from wanting to take revenge to worrying about the other party's strength, which well reflects the protagonist's bold and careful character traits.

The following three principles should be taken into account in psychological depiction

1. When writing about the psychological activities of characters, you should write about the mental activities that will inevitably occur in a specific environment of a specific character, and you should not write about psychological activities for the sake of psychological description.

2. When writing about mental activities, it is necessary to prevent one mental activity on the left and one mental activity on the right.

Only when the key plots, actions, and expressions appear, are they accompanied by psychological descriptions.

3. When writing about psychological activities, we should strive to write about the subtle emotional fluctuations of the characters and the complex psychological change process.

These three points, compared with the above examples, the protagonist's psychological activity is before he prepares for the fight (in a specific situation, in a key plot), and the protagonist's psychological change process from wanting revenge to worrying is well written.

Wang Chao calculated all the changes in his heart, took a deep breath, and walked up quickly.

A group of people's minds were on the cards, and the hundred-yuan bills were handed back and forth, without noticing Wang Chao at all.

"Brother Guang, it's time for you to be bored, I'm bored for fifty!" Another red-haired thug knocked on the table at that Brother Guang.

This Brother Guang is the gangster who beat Wang Chao before.

"Shout Mao. Mom's b. Brother Guang seemed to have lost money, and he was very unhappy, so he slapped the table with his hand.

"Xiaoguang, don't worry if you lose money, wait for the winner to invite K song, help you find a punctual girl to play!"

Brother Liang rubbed his cards, and then leisurely spat out a puff of smoke rings.

At this time, Wang Chao had already reached Brother Guang's back, suddenly made a move, grabbed Brother Guang's hair and pulled it back!

Click, Wang Chao pulled his hair violently, took Brother Guang's body and dragged it to the ground, and even the chair was broken.

Notice my bold words, which are described with a lot of action.

Action depiction occupies an important position in character depiction, and it is one of the most commonly used depiction methods to reveal the character of a character through the description of the character's personalized actions and actions.

The role of action depiction is to show the mental outlook of the characters and directly reflect the characters' personalities.

Let's analyze the first two actions of the protagonist in this paragraph, "deep breathing" and "walking" are two actions, and they are two coherent actions, take a deep breath before doing something, which shows that this person is actually a little nervous about this matter.

The two actions of "deep breathing" and "walking" well show Wang Chao's mood in that situation, although he is a little nervous but resolute, it can be seen that this is a person who dares to face and not escape.

Looking at some of his actions of beating people, "grabbing" and "pulling" the other party's hair, and then "dragging" the other party to the ground, it is also very coherent, from the use of these action words, we can fully feel Wang Chao's extreme hatred for Brother Guang, and the character of revenge is also on the page.

So how should we use good action to describe in our daily writing?

1. Write coherent movements and use verbs accurately.

2. The action should be in line with the character's identity, personality and situation.

3. It should be skillfully linked with the demeanor, psychology and language of the character, and the action of the character is not isolated, when it is associated with the emotion, attitude, posture or expression of the person, they are meaningful and personified actions.

4. Appropriate use of metaphors, rhetoric and other techniques can not only make the characters more vivid and vivid, but also increase interest.

I won't go into detail here, but everyone should understand it by comparing the examples.

There are several types of character descriptions mentioned above, and we will also talk about environmental descriptions below.

Just give a chestnut

A quiet autumn rain has been falling for ten days, the rain is not heavy, with a hint of late autumn chill, fine and dense on the endless field.

Piles of dark gray clouds pressed low on the earth, it was already late autumn, the woods were bare, the autumn rain washed the old trees, but the merciless autumn stripped them of their beautiful clothes, and made them stand gloomily, brown moss hiding the deep wrinkles in their bark.

The autumn rains, which lasted for ten days, also made the ground extremely muddy, and even the official roads were full of muddy puddles and mud, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk an inch.

- "The Warrior of the Poor"

This is a typical description of the natural environment. The description of the natural environment is nothing more than starting from our six senses, and it is nothing more than grasping the main characteristics of the environment to describe.

The six senses here are (take a thunderstorm day as an example)

Outside the window, there was a vast expanse of white, and the earth turned into a boiling ocean in an instant. The storm raged, and the trees in the garden trembled. One in the distance
