The title of this book is "The Legend of the World" (a "Hidden Record of the Immortals", and the original name was taken up by another account of mine. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info), which was published on the Starting Point Literature Network two years ago. After a few more chapters, it's over. It's not that the author is lazy, it's because of perfectionism. Only with the passage of time will people's knowledge and experience become more and more abundant, and they will know how pale and powerless they used to write.
When he was young, the author read a lot of books, but he was very partial to classical novels. And my "Legend of the World" ("The Hidden Record of Immortals") is essentially a traditional martial arts novel. Although the traditional martial arts novel is in its own right, it is in the same vein as the classical novel. I have read Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, and I have also read the Lord of Huanzhu Mansion and Zhuge Qingyun, but I have never finished reading a martial arts novel. Although I still have a shallow understanding of martial arts novels, I also feel that martial arts have been written by predecessors, and it is difficult for future generations to make a difference. Besides, sometimes I think that the rivers and lakes in most martial arts books are just Shaolin Wudang and Emei Huashan, which are just love, hatred, and power struggle. Such rivers and lakes are too small for me.
The original intention of writing this "Legend of the World" ("The Hidden Record of Immortals") is that martial arts is a dream of mine, and I want to create martial arts rivers and lakes in a way that is different from others. Regarding the second point, my book is to open up the boundaries of traditional martial arts and weave a complex world where virtual and real life coexist. Yes, martial arts is a kind of ancient science fiction in a sense (as someone seems to have said), science fiction is to give full play to people's imagination, amazing weapons, bizarre moves, except for a part of the original appearance of martial arts techniques, the rest of the content is not all based on rich imagination? Jin Yong is like this, Gu Long is even more so, and the Lord of Huanzhu Mansion is even more imaginative.
Since it is mentioned that the owner of Huanzhu Mansion has to mention "Shu Mountain", and when it comes to "Shu Mountain", I have to mention that the online novel is a very popular category - Xianxia (or Xiuxian). In fact, at first, I rejected this kind of work, because the setting of an alternate history and a thousand years of life is difficult for people who love history to accept. Anyone who has read a little history books understands that alchemy and cultivating immortals are so romantic. Eating sulfur, drinking menstrual blood, and dying violently is the positive result of cultivating immortals.
Straight to the point. I don't have the capital to judge other people's works and talk about my own books. In my eyes, the world of martial arts should be both fictional and realistic, both real and illusory. It is not only a river and a lake, but also a market. As for cultivating immortals, you might as well stop at the point and let the reader maintain a little beautiful fantasy, which is the most wonderful. "The Legend of the Strange Heroes" (Hidden Records of the Immortals) is such a work that shows the world of chivalry in the Ming Dynasty, which contains real historical stories, such as the Battle of Jingyan and the White Lotus Uprising. There are also slang market styles, such as prostitutes, shoes, wine, and crazy Zen style. will also vaguely mention some of the mysterious and mysterious paths of cultivating immortals.
I once met a teacher who taught me, and I excitedly told him that I was going to write martial arts novels. Who would think that the teacher was very calm, and even said with disdain: "Does martial arts fiction have any connotation? If you want to be a writer, you have to be like Mr. Lu Xun." I was speechless after hearing this, and what the teacher said was indeed true. In fact, the reason why most martial arts novels are looked down upon by people of insight is nothing more than that their content is popular and shallow, although there are some life revelations in them, they often do not touch the soul of human beings. Putting aside those obscenities, even if some martial arts novels with historical backgrounds talk about life and death, they often fail to reveal the cruelty of war and fighting, as well as the ultimate concern for life. I think this is one of the reasons why martial arts novels can't win the Serious Literature Award!
With my level of writing, I am indeed much worse than others. But I do have dreams. My first novel was a martial arts novel, and this one is not going to change. In the second part, I wanted to write a nautical novel about that magnificent era of discovery, which was still for the sake of dreams. In the next third part, I will try to write a social novel with a deeper theme, which is not only my ultimate dream, but also a kind of refining and sublimation, and it should also be a responsibility.
Anyway, this "The Legend of the World" has indeed poured my blood, and I believe that an author who pursues perfection will not disappoint readers. But I also hope that someone can patiently read this novel and give me more opinions and less praise!
