Originally, I was scheduled to take a break, and I will write this tomorrow, but maybe the time is sensitive, many friends have various text messages and private messages to ask me, I was thinking about taking a good nap, relaxing the excitement at the end, and the phone beeped vigorously, I ...... I don't let people sleep.

May is a scheduled thing, and I said this a long time ago, but I couldn't estimate it accurately at the time, so I had to leave enough room for flexibility in May and June, right, if it wasn't for the epidemic, I wouldn't have traveled to Spain in a few days.

Also, my contract was signed at the end of 2016, and by the beginning of 2022, there is still one book left, 3 million words, and the new book is definitely at the starting point.

After digressing, back to the book itself.

If I chose a more reasonable development at the end of the seventh part, which led to a much faster plot and no way to do a fuller and more detailed development, then the eighth part started from the first chapter, and it was under my control, what to write in each sheet, where to turn around, and how to end the ending, I have already thought about it, there is no sudden acceleration of the plot, and there is no problem of cutting off a lot of branches.

At this ending, I thought before opening the book, everyone in the Tarot Club finally got out of their comfort zone after experiencing all kinds of passivity, expectation, confusion, and wandering, and faced the world and all kinds of difficulties, while Crane and Azik completed a role reincarnation.

In the end, the contrast between weirdness and innocence, bleakness and sunshine, darkness and newness, belongs to a strange picture that is a little Cthulhu and a little warm, and at the same time points out that Klein has initially woken up and will not break the book.

As for the foreshadowing of the five gold coins, the respective experiences of the Tarot congregation, and other pitfalls that do not involve the main line of the book, of course, they are reserved for the second part, which I have written so obviously, that the last part is both the epilogue and the prologue.

Well, the second part is the period between Xiao Ke's sleep, or earlier, and his awakening.

This was all determined before the book opened, why did I consider the second part at that time, one is that I think this setting is too large, too much can be written, if you stuff your brain into a book, it will inevitably be primary and secondary, the branch lines are lengthy, scattered and boring, and bloated, and the second is that the growth curve of the Tarot congregation can't keep up with Klein, if you give them too many branches, more stories, and make their promotion reasonable enough, it will impact the structure of the main line, and there will also be a problem of no separation between primary and secondary, if you don't give it, and let them grow, play a role at critical moments, there will definitely be a large number of friends who feel that one person has achieved the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and they feel that they are too easy to get everything。

Therefore, after weighing and considering all aspects, I decided to write at least Mysteries 2, so that this one can calmly follow the plot without having to run around the world, and the Tarot people will only start the first half of their lives, complete the transformation and growth, and then leave their comfort zone to perform more exciting stories and lives in the second part.

For me, this is also a challenge, how to bring everyone back into the world after a few years, and how to make new readers read smoothly and without restrictions without reading Mystery 1.

I didn't have the experience of writing a series of books before, I didn't have the experience of writing a second book under the same worldview, on the one hand, I didn't consider this problem when the previous books were set, and there was a lack of space to expand, and secondly, I was afraid of repeating the past routine and not being able to break through, but this fear itself is also a limitation, and I think I can try to challenge it if I have found my own writing methodology.

I said it before, my slogan, no, my motto is:

"Never satisfied, always challenged.

In the second part, I haven't thought about the protagonist and cut into it yet, but I already have some plot images in my mind now:

It was a dark line formed by the various attempts of the Tarot congregation to awaken Xiao Ke, and the different people represented by five gold coins and iron cigarette cases.

He may meet a hunter who lights a cigarette and talks about the hunters of the past, he may occasionally catch a glimpse of half a beautiful face, he may hear the news of the discovery of a new continent from overseas, he may deal with the kings of the sea, he may explore the few treasures and legends on the sea that have not yet been revealed, and he may swell with all kinds of "traversers" and "infiltrators".

The specific style, to be decided when the time comes, in short, the setting leaves a lot of space for the second part, and I don't worry about running out of things to write at all.

As for the apocalypse, it is certainly not something that can be solved by one part, and in order to make the end of the second part more oppressive, I decided to give the mother god an epic reinforcement, in short, why is the boar pregnant, why the man holds his belly, why the stone gives birth to a child, behind all this, is it the distortion of human nature, or the degradation of morality...... As for the strengthened plan, it will probably be put in the third part related to the Western Continent, but I may not write it, serious face.

Related to the Western Continent, I actually didn't set it before, but left the interface, the remaining seven essentia, and a small amount of extraordinary characteristics that do not contain sequence 1 and uniqueness, what kind of world will be built, an upgrade system?

I've recently basically decided on my idea, and I know what kind of setting I'm going to make, hehe.

Well, the righteous path system with essentia as the core, the side door and left path with extraordinary characteristics as the foundation, and the lower nine streams with their own parts.

The former is based on the Taoist idea of "receiving the seal", well, the seal means that you have been recognized by the heavenly court, become a member of this system, and can happily summon gods such as Liuding Liujia to help fight, and there is no wild Taoist priest who is sealed, you want to summon Liuding Liujia, the god of the land and the mountain, why should people care about you? So, in the Fu Seal, the Fu and the Seal are separated, and the Seal is in the system in a word, and then, if the Heavenly Court and the Pure Land are changed to essentia, the whole setting will be lively and weird.

Writing this, I was hungry, and my daughter-in-law urged me to go out. After all, I decided to write it on the impromptu basis, well, here first, and I will continue this complete testimonial tomorrow, talking about the ideas and gains and losses of the creation of the mysterious book, and talking about my creative methodology.

In addition,Thank you for the big guy in Wutong.,I was scared to start reading just now.,And,After that, I'll serialize a twenty or thirty thousand of extra here.,And then it's an occasional extra.,I didn't plan to write it.,But now I find that there are a lot of things that don't involve the second part.,But you can write it.,For example, Xiao Ke's sleeping dream.,Some fragments of the Quaternary Age.,And so on.。

As for why Tianzun's back hand was disturbed, I have already made some hints:

"Magic Mirror" Arodus, as he came out of the Sea of Chaos, why did he have to follow Crane, and why did Crane carry it when he was asleep.

Also,The reset version of the physical book is out.,This time the cover is what I like.,The content is just a revision of some of the Internet vocabulary and words that are not in the dictionary.,For example,He,You can go to see my Weibo for the specific purchase address.,The squid deity who loves diving.,After that, you can follow me from time to time", anime avatar that.

Mmmm, tomorrow I will continue to finish this testimonial (II).
