Postscript: Fate sleeps and wakes up tomorrow
It's 5:50 a.m., the first time I've stayed up all night this year, and just now, the Three Paths has finally come to an end, and I want to talk to you about how I feel in the past four years at the end of this story.
First of all, I would like to thank you for being with you all the way, and it is my greatest honor to be with you all over the past four years.
Thank you to all the administrators, and everyone who usually leaves messages telling me to pay attention to my body, although I can't reply to them one by one, but I will keep them all in my heart, thank you, it is you who give me strength.
Let's talk about the story, the reason why this story is called "Three Paths", I believe everyone already knows, this story describes the source of the Destiny series, the road that the three brothers always began to walk in the end.
The three brothers, each representing greed and hatred, all have the delusion of these three thoughts, but after the change of time, they have also begun to slowly change.
One immortal, one is a demon, and the last one becomes 'if'.
In fact, this is also the biggest question of the Destiny series: can fate be defeated?
Thankfully, I have written my answer in several books, first of all, what is fate.
The fate I think I have is actually time, and it is also all the traces that time has brought to us, those that have happened have long been a foregone conclusion, but what has not yet happened, there are endless possibilities.
If you want to change your fate, then, please don't stop, move forward, maybe there is destiny in the dark, but you can rely on your own efforts, your destiny into the most suitable shape for you.
And that's the central theme of the book: time and dreams.
If you pay attention to it while reading this book. It should not be possible to find that from beginning to end, this story is being told. It's all about time and dreams.
The troubled times lasted for a total of 30 years, but if you go back in time, you can go back thousands of years, and the same will be true after that.
In addition, there is the transformation of rivers and lakes, which revolves around time.
It's like what I said. None of us can escape time, because 'time' is what witnesses 'fate'.
So, so is the division of the book. Volumes 1 to 7, named after the solar terms, from the initial sting, the sting is very revival. And the young life set out on a journey at this time. In the last volume, it was the beginning of spring, and the cold winter did not come after the frost fell, because for the world, there was no cold winter in his heart.
After talking about one topic, let's talk about the next and most important theme, which is 'dreams'. In the fate story, every one is inseparable from dreams. Because that's the biggest foreshadowing of this story.
According to a certain school of legend in ancient India, the world we live in now is really in the dream of the creator god Brahma, and if Brahma wakes up, then this world will also end.
Of course, I believe that many friends know this allusion from comedy movies.
And this allusion is very similar to the ancient 'Zhuangsheng Dream Butterfly'.
Did Johnson dream of a butterfly, or did a butterfly dream of Johnson?
'There are dreams in the day, the gods and souls are auspicious, Zhuang Sheng's illusory father, and Lu Wangzhao is flying bear. ’
As early as in the first story, I tried to reveal information for everyone, and there are many similar messages, such as the last sentence of the frontispiece of the Three Paths. and the Weibo signature that I used for several years.
Life needs dreams, and this dream not only refers to the illusion, but also to dreams.
I had this long dream for four years, and in the process, I kept asking myself, when will you wake up?
But when I think about it, I feel relieved.
Life is like a dream, and in whose dream are we in? And is the fate that governs our trajectory the master of this dream?
Since it's a dream, why not take a wild shot in your dream and do what you want to do?
Ah, of course, this is the ideal, not the desire, the difference between the ideal and the desire, and I have already explained it to you in the article.
I'm glad that I'm still me, and I'll only write what I want to write and show it to people who are destined to do it, and that's enough............ Let's talk about it again, the "Three Paths" is, conventionally, the one I use the most metaphors, so I personally think that this book is still suitable for friends between the ages of 20 and 30.
Of course, I have always thought that reading books should be followed by fate, and outside of books, we should also relax our minds.
You and I are in a dream, why should we be persistent in the face of the difficulties of life?
I hope that all beings will be happy, and at the same time, I hope that the era of love and non-aggression can really come, after all, there is a lot of anger on the Internet now, and young friends may be easily affected, so as to make negative changes in their mood.
Maybe that's what the book calls malice.
Four years have passed, I have grown up a lot, and I have learned a lot, but the more I study at this time, the more I feel that I am still a student of code words, and I hope to grow up with you in the future.
And when it comes to this, it's already past six o'clock, and it seems that every deadline is early in the morning, which is a good time to fall asleep.
Cui Summons the Destiny series, which is divided into three parts.
Part 1: "The Years I Was Mr. Yin and Yang" was written in 2010 and the theme is struggle and choice.
Part 2: "The Years I Was a Birdman" was written in 2011, and the theme is cause and effect and reincarnation.
Part 3: "Three Paths" was written in 2014 (written in 2013), and the theme is dreams and time.
The biography is: "Jumping God" was written in 2012, because the theme is slightly different, so it can only be regarded as a biography, and this one links the previous three, the theme is 'deception and promise'.
In addition, I also have a number of acid poems, a number of short stories, and related short stories, which are worth seeing "Magpie" (telling the soul of a thousand people in "Birdman"), "The Story of Ancestors" (telling the story of Nianzi Mountain, the ending of Sanqing divination and the wolf demon in the birdman), "Horror Call" (telling the story of Cui Zuofei before returning to Fuze Hall). "Missed Time" (about Dong Shanshan's ending) and so on.
And when it comes to sour poetry, I'm a little embarrassed............ Among these, there are 'poems' and 'spell formulas'. More than 96 percent of it was made up by the brothers themselves. This also includes couplets, couplets of the underworld, and couplets of the world.
As for the rest, most of them are from the 'Smoke Wave Fishing Song', and various Buddhist scriptures have also been slightly modified.
And here again, for the 'five disadvantages and three shortcomings'. This is also made up by myself, I have mentioned this matter in the crooked activity before, and the five disadvantages come from the Luban book, that is, 'missing a door'. And the inspiration for the three deficiencies comes from the saying that those who cultivate the Tao must have a deficiency.
So, before my first book, there was no such word.
Although legend has it that people with abilities often have disabilities or other disabilities, this is also a kind of 'balance', isn't it? When I wrote 'Five Disadvantages and Three Defects', I wanted to use it to represent the law of 'equivalent exchange'.
You get one thing. There is a price to pay, which is the most basic law of the world, for anyone.
It's amazing that as time passes, the word seems to be more and more true, whether it's fate or not, but I seem to understand something, is it that a large part of the so-called 'magic' and 'legends' that are now widely spread in society also come from this?
Because of time. Changed everything.
And in "Three Paths", the world gave birth to the plot of the Sanqing book. It is also from this metaphor.
Speaking of which, there have been a lot of 'masters' who have asked me for "Sanqing Book" in the past two years, which makes me a little crying and laughing, because I don't know if there is a Sanqing book in this world, and the "Sanqing Book" in my story is very unfortunate, and it is also made up by myself.
At that time, I needed a cheats, so I began to ponder, because I was afraid of trouble, so I directly named the name of the Sanqing Patriarch, so you masters, don't say this in front of me, the little brother is a book, this story is pure fiction, if there is a similarity, it is a coincidence.
In addition to that, there is the yin market and so on............ I won't tell you all about it.
And again, I would like to advise those young friends who have illusions about the so-called 'alien arts' that this kind of thing is not as exciting as you think, and that it is better to believe in anything than to believe in conscience.
As long as you put your heart right, you will naturally not invade all evils.
In fact, I have been terrified sometimes in the past two years, because many friends have contacted me and said that they have become interested in these things because of my stories, and some of them have been deceived.
I am very remorseful, so I would like to advise you that if you want everything to go well, you should do more good deeds and do not ask about the future, this is better than believing in anything.
It seems that the more I write, the more I write, because it is not easy to summarize the story of the four years, but fortunately, it has been written now.
In this story, there are pasts and presents, ghosts and demons, but more important than these is a heart that cannot be given up.
It's a dream, but it's real.
The book "Three Paths" has an extraordinary significance for me personally, it represents the dream of Xianxia in my heart, and at the same time, it is also a summary of all the experiences I have passed in the past four years.
It may read very unreal or even sour, and this is the result of my personal willfulness as a senior obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Because this story is illusory, he doesn't happen now, compared to Cui Zuofei's story, Santuzhi is more like an old-fashioned legend.
When you're reading about modern magic, I wonder if you're like me, imagining the origins of these magic, who created them, and what kind of stories are the stories of the people who created them?
So, as a person who couldn't stop Cui, he had an obsessive-compulsive episode and wrote this story that took eleven months, saying that it was a story, but in fact, I prefer to call it a 'fairy tale', an adult fairy tale.
An unreal fairy tale.................. Have you ever wondered if the world of a thousand years ago really existed, and could it be different from the historical record?
Although we can't go back thousands of years, but fortunately we still have a dream, in this dream, an absurd world began to take shape, after four years of time, this world has a history and a present, the structure of the three realms, their respective legends, with various details slowly become clear.
From the past to the future, every casual detail of every book. will affect the context of other stories, for example, in "Three Paths". After all the dust settled in the final battle, in fact, on Changbai Mountain, two more monsters picked up a big bargain, that is, the Yu Mang brothers, they caught treasures, including "Sanqing Divination", and the monster's body could not practice the power of the apocalypse. In the later world, these two monsters were eliminated by Zhang Shifei and Chang Tianqing in turn, so as to complete their fate. And the oath.
And after the little silver dragon went to Nianzi Mountain, the old wolf spirit once said something, and some friends asked about it, why did it not follow up later? Actually, there were. The following is in the first biography of "The Years I Was Mr. Yin and Yang". In "The Story of the Ancestors", Zhang San is the old wolf, and Mr. Liu's ancestors guessed the art of divination precisely because of this opportunity.
There are many, many similarities in this, such as Tianyi's destination, the reason why Chang Tianqing is so strong is precisely because it already has immortal bones in its body, and this immortal bone is Tianyi's bones. As one of the most dazzling characters. Chang Tianqing also once met Shao Yongxing, a shaman's successor, and in the shaman's story. has already talked about the origin of the witch cult, in the story, the witch cult has a total of two stunts, one is the witch song, that is, the predecessor of the "Gang Soldier Decision" obtained by Yao Yuan, and the other is the spirit technique, which is the method used by Qin Shenfu in this article.
And the Seven Treasures White Moon Wheel, originally derived from my favorite game Xuanyuan Sword, legend has it that in ancient times, Fu Xi in order to resurrect his daughter, so he created the Celestial Maiden White Jade Wheel Array, and the Seven Treasures White Moon Wheel that appeared in the text was originally taken from here, but the definition of the formation is completely different, I checked the information for this, and I did not find out whether this legend is real, so in order to respect the copyright and avoid blasphemy of the original author, I would like to explain it here.
In addition, in this story about dreams, there are many episodes adapted from various folk tales, such as the legend of the Yellow Nest, and the part of the legal name is adapted, revealing the truth hidden after the truth, and there is a certain degree of rationality.
In addition, there is a lot of foreshadowing. This book is not over-watered, and if you are interested in reading it again after reading it, you will find that from the beginning of the story, the final ending is already a metaphor.
And up to now, some of the foreshadowing may be buried too deep, so everyone didn't see the end, let's talk about one here, go and see the couplets of Peacock Village, which is also a foreshadowing of the ending.
For us, each of us is fate, because we are witnessing the growth and choices of the characters in the book from another perspective, we are their fate, and for us, who is our fate?
Don't think about it, it's yourself, if you don't give up.
And speaking of which, let's mention again that the "Reality Diagram" that appears in this series is derived from a metaphor of life by Shakyamuni in the Buddhist classic "Buddha Parables". And the burning finger offering to the Buddha is from the "Myoho-renge-kyo".
It's already seven o'clock, and it's dawning outside, and it seems to be cloudy again.
As I said at the end of my last book last year, no matter what kind of weather it is, I hope everyone can have a good mood, face every day, smile happily, and tolerate all people and voices, maybe this can make people truly happy.
After this book, my work today is over, I haven't moved for 11 months, I feel like my body is about to grow hair now, and a lot of things have happened in these 11 months, but fortunately, I persevered again, and I would like to thank everyone who watched this book, it is you who have made this dream come to this day.
The unreliable Cui Gozhao thanked all his friends, although maybe our lives did not intersect, but the story linked our trajectories together, thank you to all my friends, thank you for coming, so that I have the opportunity to tell my dream to you.
Four years have passed quickly, everyone has grown in these four years, some friends have gained love and friendship because of my books, and this is also the happiest thing for me, looking back, these four years are indeed like a dream.
Thank you for growing up with me for four years, and thank you for having you in my dreams.
Thanks to the works and games that gave me shock when I was growing up, the concept of time comes from Doraemon and GS Meijin, which is my favorite manga when I was a child, and Xuanyuan Sword Sky Trace, which was my favorite game in middle school.
Okay, let's write here, in fact, when I wrote here, my heart was very gratified, because "Three Paths" is not just a simple story, it also has the last foreshadowing to confirm its own theme.
Are you ready to unveil this foreshadowing?
Well, let's witness this magical moment together.
At this point, "Three Paths" has basically ended, but the story of Three Ways and the three people in the world is not over, if you want to see what happens next, please travel back to 2010 and watch the first two parts.
The three stories form a circle, and this is also my worldview, the world should be circular, so it will be endless, and I, the writer of books, are now trapped in this circle.
I don't want to wake up until dawn.
Thank you for being with you all the way
The unobtrusive Cui went to call for respect
