Some Questions to be Explained about "The Romance of the Gods"
Well, the writing of "Fengshen Yanyi" has officially started, and the curtain of the "Tianwai Chapter" has officially opened.
Old rules, in order to prevent some disputes in the following content, Bawan makes a few explanations here.
First of all, about the setting of the flood.
Honghuangliu, born out of "Fengshen Yanyi" and "Journey to the West" and other classic novels of gods and demons, is a re-creation of contemporary online literature writers. It has been fully formed in the dream-like "Buddha is the Tao" and has become a genre Setting, the author will continue to expand and complicate this setting system on this basis.
It is very good, but it is not traditional, nor authoritative, and the settings of different authors will have discrepancies or even conflicts, so it is not suitable to apply the settings of other prehistoric books in this book. For the sake of fluency and appreciation of the story, Bawan will moderately adopt or create some settings. Interested friends can have their own brainstorming discussions in the chapter reviews, but try not to rise to the invalid debate of "right and wrong" , so as to avoid the situation of "Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong".
Secondly, it is about the book "Feng Shen Yan Yi".
First, the literariness of "Fengshen Yanyi" is far inferior to "Journey to the West". The reason why Bawan put this book behind "Journey to the West" is because of the power level of this book, and non-literary level.
Second, "Fengshen Yanyi" and "Journey to the West" are two books with separate systems, and the settings in "Journey to the West" cannot be used to impose "Fengshen", especially the Western religion and Buddhism in the two books. , not to be confused.
Thirdly, I know that in many novels, Jiejiao’s righteousness is underestimated, and elucidation of Jiaojiao’s hypocritical benevolence and righteousness, including Western teachings who are good at calculating, but in the original novel, this is really not the case. At least when they were marching and fighting, the members of Jiejiao treated ordinary people as insignificant, poisoned them, flooded them and set them on fire, and any large-scale weapons would come directly;
In addition, it is about King Zhou. Now there are many articles about Di Xin on the Internet, including saying that he was kicked out of power because he reformed people and offended the slave owners, etc. All in all, he is a wise king.
How about history is discussed separately. The King Zhou in this book is King Zhou, the King Zhou who obviously turned against the seventy-two princes, prayed for blessings by himself, and even teased the Nuwa Empress.
Finally, there is the issue of citing original works.
Someone attacked me, saying that in the later stage of writing, I cheated money by pasting and copying the original hydrology in large sections, and said that 3,000 words per chapter, 2,000 words of the original work...
Of course it's sunspots, I know.
Here, 80,000 will explain again.
"Idle Books Become Saints" is a novel of "literary copying", the citation of the original text is determined by the structural framework of the story, and the original text that Ba Wan chooses to cite is the passage that Ba Wan thinks is helpful to the story, or is extremely interesting paragraphs (such as the paragraph where the spider essence takes a bath).
On the issue of fees, I want to focus on it.
The charging rule of Qidian is to settle Qidian coins every 200 words, so if I have 3199 words in a chapter, then those 199 words are free words.
80,000 people probably have a number in mind, and the content of the original work quoted will only write more free words to offset it. But each chapter only has a free quota of 200 words, so sometimes 80,000 will write a few more chapters to accumulate.
Very rarely, the rhythm of the ending is too good, and it happens to be stuck at the word count in the early 200s, and 80,000 will add free words later.
In short, 80,000 is not the money for quoting the original work. Hereby inform.
----Dividing line-----
The literary logic of "Fengshen Yanyi" is indeed worse than that of "Journey to the West", so many things are not clearly explained, and Bawan will try to round it up (I am exhausted).
Now that we've talked about it, let's talk about the biggest bug in the original book—the number of days.
For example, in the first chapter, there is the plot of "Nuwa Empress sent three demons to make soup".
According to the content of the book, Empress Nuwa is going to take revenge, but King Zhou has twenty-eight years of luck, so Nuwa can't do it.
Yes, it's fate and luck, and it has nothing to do with the last generation of human emperors and other marketing claims.
According to the timeline in the book, it was the seventh year of King Zhou's Shangxiang Nuwa Palace, and the 35th year of King Zhou's self-immolation and the end of the Shang Dynasty were exactly 28 years old!
Here comes the problem!
Didn't the Empress Nuwa send the Three Demons to avenge her loneliness?
Bawan explained it like this (circle): King Zhou had twenty-eight years of luck, and Empress Nuwa's original idea was indeed to speed up the time for the three demons, for example, twenty-eight years in eighteen years His luck wasted.
Here, it is a variable that changes the number of days.
However, the three demons, especially Daji, did not follow Empress Nuwa's plan.
Nuwa told the three demons not to harm others, but Daji killed them, which indirectly accelerated the rise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, including the civil servants and generals of the Shang Dynasty. In this regard, King Zhou's luck was indeed squandered.
But on the other hand, Daji assisted the Zhou in his abuse, and helped Shang Zhou find foreign aid—Jiejiao, Meishan Seven Sages, etc., which actually prolongs Shang Zhou's luck.
These two variables collided together, and due to the ending of the number of days, they eventually canceled each other out, creating the illusion that Empress Nuwa was lonely.
Therefore, Bawan felt that the Dao of Heaven was like a precision-operated instrument, but it had to be restarted every once in a while. This restart event was the number of days.
If no one cares about him, at that time, the Dao of Heaven may automatically restart. For example, no one paid attention to King Zhou, and after twenty-eight years, King Zhou himself suddenly died of wind. The book said that King Zhou's twenty-eight fortunes and that the Western Zhou Dynasty should be prosperous, but it didn't say that there was a seamless connection between King Zhou and the Western Zhou Dynasty!
However, in the process of this upcoming restart, it is actually a paradise for speculators Another example, it’s like you know the closing position of a stock in advance, what would you do?
Of course, it is in accordance with the heavens to reap benefits.
Therefore, I want to use this to resolve the killing of the Twelve Golden Immortals (the matter of killing and robbery will be discussed in detail later).
But variables appear again. You know the closing position of the stock, so you enter the market in advance, but if your capital is too large, which in turn affects the final closing position of the stock, what should you do?
It's like teaching a group of gods to fight the mortal army of the Shang Dynasty, then there is no fun.
Therefore, that invisible hand will have another fund entering the market to interfere with your behavior.
This is Jiechen Mengxin who intercepted the teaching!
Therefore, Bawan thinks that the number of days seems to be fixed, but in order to keep the number of days unchanged, there are actually many games before the number of days is realized. The ultimate goal is to make everything that happens cancel each other out. Among them, the invisible hand is the way of heaven.
Therefore, in the setting of 80,000, emphasizing the number of days will strengthen the way of heaven.
Well, let me talk about the logic, I hope it will be easier for everyone to understand when reading the book.
