I've seen many readers say that there are as many dragon souls as the dragon souls on the real dragons today, and they are all a quarter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI've always wondered where this came from.

I always thought that everyone had misunderstood, so I never seriously pondered this issue. This morning, I saw some book friends mention it, and I remembered it again, so I decided to check it carefully.

Then my clever secretary helped me find the chapter where this statement was first mentioned - in chapter 280, The Dragon's Soul Is Immortal.

The original text reads:

"Do you know how our nine sons came to be?"

Li Yunxin was still digesting the words "the dragon soul is immortal". At this moment, he only subconsciously widened his eyes and said, "Huh?"

"It is the true dragon that was differentiated after subduing the demons of the world. Jianwei looked at Li Yunxin, like a brother looking at a little brother, "The real dragon split his dragon soul in half at that time. Half remained in the body of the true dragon now, and the other half turned into our nine brothers. ”

"Our eldest brother is a prisoner, do you know how he got here?"

"It is to split half of the dragon soul in half, and then combine with the vitality of the same big demon, and there is a dragon big. ”

"Then I split half of half and half again, and combined it with the vitality of the big demon, and I have a second brother. ”

Li Yun thought for a moment: "You mean...... The dragon soul that turned into a prison cow is a quarter of the original one. And when it comes to you, and the remaining quarter is split into an eighth—then ...... One sixteenth again?"

I saw this and realized what the problem was. It's not that everyone misunderstood, but that I wrote ambiguously and caused misguidance.

Probably because I knew it in my heart when I wrote it, I didn't care about it.

In fact, the correct expression should be:

"It is to split half of the dragon soul in half, and then combine with the vitality of the same big demon, and there is a dragon big. ”

"Then I split half of the eldest brother into half, and combined it with the vitality of the big demon, and I have the second brother. ”

Li Yun thought for a moment: "You mean...... The dragon soul that turned into a prison cow is a quarter of the original one. And when it comes to you, you break the quarter and make it an eighth—then ...... One sixteenth again?"

It means that a quarter of the dragon soul and the demon soul are combined and turned into a dragon prisoner.

Then he took out half of the prison ox - Long Da became one-eighth, and the remaining eighth turned into Long Er's eyes.

Then he took out one-sixteenth of the eighths of the dragon two - the second dragon became one-sixteenth, and the remaining sixteenth turned into the third dragon mocking wind.

I thought about it, and I did have such a problem when I wrote the article. It's just that a lot of times, like this example, I go too far with the "literariness of the text" and sacrifice some "comprehension" when I write.

For example, if I use the phrase I just gave an example to explain in the dialogue, you can understand it at a glance. But when I write, I feel that talking like this is not in line with the identity and temperament of the characters, so I have to condense it - Long Er and Li Yunxin are both smart people, "a little bit can be through". However, if you are detached from the identity of the person in the text, it will indeed cause misunderstanding.

And I did use the wrong word in the first place -- "and then half of half." This sentence is very ambiguous and extremely problematic.

Another thing that proves my fallacy is that in the later article - Li Yunxin met the real dragon in Dongting and said to the real dragon, "Now you have as many dragon souls in your body as your eldest brother imprisoned the cow" - it should be that more friends have been brought into the pit by the plot here.

Since the problem is already very serious, I will explain the plot here in advance.

The reason why Li Yunxin said this was because he was also confused about the question of dragon soul, and he was sincerely wrong. And the real dragon did not defend because in her identity, she disdains and should not argue like a child, "No, in fact, what is the dragon soul in my body"-

But in fact, the foreshadowing here is not over. In the new volume chapters that followed, Li Yunxin went to the east to see the real dragon again, and this foreshadowing will appear again, which is actually a very critical detail. Because it involves major spoilers, I won't continue here.

The reason why the dragon soul is deliberately explained is because the setting and proportion of the dragon soul dragon son is one of the basic settings of the story of this book, which is extremely important and related to the world view. understands the deviation, Jiang Lai and I don't want to be disappointed. Therefore, I would like to explain to you that I apologize for any misunderstanding caused by my narration.

In the future, I will strive to balance the literary and the transparent, and no longer have incomprehensible, erroneous, or vague assumptions.
