Hello dear, here are the introductions to each volume of Ghost Blowing Lamp, you can take a look!
"Jingjue Ancient City"
The first volume of the first part of "Ghost Blowing Lamp" "Jingjue Ancient City" can be divided into two parts, the first half ending at Yerengouhei The underground military fortress in Fengkou is mainly the construction of a framework and platform, and there are no clear clues about its relationship with the main plot. This half is intended to be written in the genre of folklore and country talk. The so-called folk tale type seems to be the legends of zombies and black donkey hooves in the mountains and old forests. Starting from the time when the archaeological team entered the desert to search for the exquisite ancient city, they touched on distinct geographical and cultural elements, such as the desert of the Western Regions, the Peacock River, the Double Sacred Mountains, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, the Loulan Female Corpse, and the Dunhuang Murals. When these elements are mentioned, there is a mysterious atmosphere. So in this part of Jingjue Ancient City, the sense of mystery is the core of the story. In the end, Queen Jingjue didn’t show up, so it’s considered the mystery to the end. This volume involves some elements such as archaeological puzzles. As the first volume, the biggest flaw now is that some parts are too simple and sloppy, and the logic is relatively loose. I write and compile as I go, without considering how the subsequent story will unfold. What I am satisfied with is the comparison between description and narration. Real and vivid. The style, which looks very real, rural and mysterious, was what I wanted to express most when I was writing the first volume.
"Longling Mysterious Cave"
The second volume of the first part of "Ghost Blowing Lamp" "Longling Mysterious Cave", in fact, the story in this volume is divided into three parts. The first was the discovery of the ghost tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty in Longling, the second was the search for treasure in Heishui City, the gold school captain, and the third was the discovery of the king's evil technique at the coffin shop in the stone tablet shop. Although there are three stories in one volume, in this volume the author mainly wants to highlight the core element of thriller. Some people may say that "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" is a thriller novel, but in fact, the author feels that it is not at all, and it has little to do with "horror" as a whole. If we talk about horror, this is just one of many elements in this book, not the main one. The only one that is full of suspense is the volume "Longling Labyrinth", which is full of suffocating buttons of traditional scripts. This is the sensational volume "Yunnan Worm Valley"
The first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" The third volume, "Yunnan Worm Valley", happened to be watching the World Cup when I wrote the story in this volume. I was particularly impressed by it. It was a severe test of energy, physical strength, and perseverance. The volume on the Tomb of King Xian of Yunnan takes exploration as its core. The author likes watching movies very much, and used to like "The Abyss" and "Alien" very much. The so-called adventure is exploration plus adventure. Later I saw the trailer for the remake of "King Kong". There was a scene where the expedition team used a turntable submachine gun to fight against the evil centipedes in the valley. I really liked it. kind of scene. An expedition team with old-fashioned equipment, kayak drifting, the wreckage of a crashed military aircraft, a ghostly Morse signal, a Chicago typewriter, a giant insect that has not died for tens of millions of years, a corpse hole effect that devours everything, and the harsh natural environment Fighting through obstacles in the jungles and fossil caves, Yunnan Worm Valley was launched. It is completely a treasure map-style traditional adventure element, with a strange supernatural and science fiction color added to it. This is a volume that combines old and new adventure elements.
In "Yunnan Worm Valley", the story type has completely shifted to "adventure". There are few characters in this volume, and the main space is used to describe the dangerous terrain and various weird traps. Regarding the human skin map contributed by Chen Xiazi, the author had no concept in his mind at the beginning. He arranged it as bizarre as he thought. As the writing progressed and the mysteries were revealed one by one, I also felt a little surprised. At the earliest The designed Tomb of King Xian is an ancient tomb that can only be entered when the sky collapses. I once imagined that a large passenger plane crashed in front of the gold-finding team, thus knocking away the big men in the ancient tomb. But then I thought about many friends who would fly out in the future, so it might not be a good idea to write this; plus in the ghost In the signal section, a transport aircraft used by the United States (Mi) to aid the Chinese Air Force during the Anti-Japanese War was used, so in the end the Tianbeng was described as a bomber that was destroyed decades ago. In this plot The sense of gravity and destiny cannot be predicted in advance.
"Kunlun Temple"
The fourth volume of the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" "Kunlun Temple" is full of mythology. China has a vast territory and rich resources, and different regions have given birth to different cultures and legends.
All Chinese myths must be inseparable from Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain is the backbone of heaven and earth, the birthplace of the ancestral dragon, the shrine of the Queen Mother of the West, and the lair of northern monsters. It seems that Kunlun cannot be called Kunlun without myths and legends. Ancient books record that the true image of Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun is a monster. According to the author's personal imagination, it may be a big fish. I once saw the largest freshwater fish in the world in a natural history museum, and it really felt like a dragon. The plot of this volume involves the legend of King Gesar. The epic of the heroic king who defeated the enemy orb is itself a long rap poem with a strong mythological flavor, so the Kunlun Mountains chapter incorporates many alternative elements close to mythology. The King of Fishes in the Wind-eroded Lake, the Infinite Karma Fire, the Neqiong Divine Ice, the Thunder Mountain of Mahakala, the Crystal Zizai Mountain, the Evil Loch Sea City, and the Gate of Disaster. This adventure is as bizarre as entering a fantasy world. "Kunlun Temple" is like an adventure in the divine world. Although there are many mythological elements, it still maintains consistent principles and tries to be closer to the real world. Of course, there will be no flying into the sky, immortality, or magical spells. A true myth. Due to scheduling and contract reasons, the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" ends after "Kunlun Temple". The final ending is in Beihai Park in Beijing, which is a perfect ending. The last 234 chapters of Qidian Chinese website have completely collected all the contents, and the physical book is perfect. Of course, this finale only belongs to the first part. Among the first four volumes of the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", my favorite plot appears in Tibet (separately), but due to space issues, that part was included at the end of the Yunnan volume of the physical book, which is It describes how soon after Hu Bayi joined the army, he fought fiercely with Tiebang Lama (horse) in an abandoned temple under the moonlit night of Xi (Separation). In fact, these chapters should be included in the last Xi (Separation) anyway. If the "Huangpizi Tomb" in the hidden volume follows the original plan, four different key elements will still be described in the four volumes of the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The reason for writing a prequel is mainly to quicken the thinking. and text so that you don’t lose patience with too rigid time clues.
"Huangpizi Tomb" is a volume with a very strong historical background. The core elements are various strange legends about weasels, the tombs and coffins of non-human creatures, and the unique Jianghu system in the Northeast. Elements of great interest to the author. However, due to the special background of the era, many words and content are inevitably restricted. Unlike the 1980s when the mind was active, the protagonists in this period are not yet mature, but their enthusiasm is unstoppable by any difficulty. The author visited the sites of the Japanese invasion of China in Hailar and Dalian, including cremators, prisons, European-style hospitals and research institutes, and was deeply impressed by them, so he set the background of the story there. In this volume, what the author feels is more satisfying is the description of Huang Pizi's mind-reading and incineration, as well as the strange incident of Lao Yangpi being hit by thunder and fire after his death. It is very heavy. In terms of physical objects alone, I thought the section about the strange soup was very bizarre and very real. The bigger flaw is that some very interesting things were forgotten to be included, and the part about humans and bears was also handled too hastily.
"Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea" is a continuation of the first story. In the previous volumes, the author feels that there are many risky professions in traditional Chinese industries. The most enthusiastic people are undoubtedly the Dan people fishing for pearls in the sea. The prototype of the Dan people who fished for pearls in the South China Sea came from the Beihai area of ??Guangxi. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Longhu and Ta families went to the water to fish for pearls and slaughter clams, but few people seemed to write about it. So in this volume, pearl fishing in the sea and the legends of this industry are key elements. Some people believe that the splendid Mayan culture was built by China's ancestors who crossed the sea during the Western Zhou Dynasty, because the two have many similarities, and the myth of shooting the sun is a very important part of Chinese civilization. They once wanted to describe the divine arrow on the bottom of the sea as a real giant weapon. Lost in the sea of ??chaos in Guixu, Colonel Mojin and the Danmen finally activated the divine arrow that shocked Baishi, and shot through the top of their heads. However, when I wrote it later, I forgot about this idea, but escaping with the help of the Dragon Soldier, a real wonder on the sea, was also a very thrilling adventure. It is not fiction that watermelons filled with lime are used to kill evil fish in the water, and that the sky fish is used to navigate the vast sea. It did exist in southern China before. What I am more satisfied with in this volume is the description of the black market on the island. Some of the scenes about shipwrecks are also good, such as the jump of the universe, etc.; the one I am most dissatisfied with is the corpse of the pirate in the bottom of the sea willow. The section is rough, so there should be a lot of room for improvement.
Things in the Pearl Sea should also be expanded and written, but the length and number of words in each volume are also limitations that are difficult to overcome. The plot and content cannot be more or less. Without an overall outline, it is difficult to control. That’s probably where the amateur and professional levels lie.
When "Nu Qing Xiangxi" was written in this volume, the author's working hours were very loose. With more time, he would be able to write more leisurely. Therefore, in terms of text alone, the author feels that "Nu Qing Xiangxi" It is the most exquisite volume among the eight volumes. Because there are more and more restrictions on modern themes, we decided to rewind the prequel to the Republic of China period and dig deeper. In the past, I made up three major systems at random: touching gold on a hill, moving mountains, and unloading mountains. As the story unfolded, the origins, anecdotes, legends, and techniques of these industries were gradually outlined. Because in the past, Several books focus on looking at Feng Shui to rob tombs. As a result, many people, even those who follow the trend and write so-called tomb robbing novels, only know how to look for Feng Shui to find dragon veins, but do not know that there are many weird ways of robbing tombs among the people. Therefore, in this volume, tomb robbing methods other than Wangzi Jue are taken as the core. In the Republic of China, legendary stories must have a storyteller's sense of language, and secondly, they must have thieves-like characters, plus various slang cuts, and be full of the color of historical folk tales to be interesting. I used to write a section about Blackwater City in a tentative way, and I didn’t dare to write in a big way. But with my previous experience, I felt comfortable writing it, and I compiled a new set of conceptual code words, which is the Book of Mountains, including Changsheng Mountain. and Moon Gate systems are completely fictitious.
As the last volume of the book, "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" has a heavier task. The most important thing is the number of words. According to the number of words agreed in the contract, the second Among the first three volumes of the volume, the first volume was missing about 30,000 words, so they had to be added to the last volume. Therefore, this volume is a very long one, which is half a book longer. But even so, the length of the last volume is It also seems insufficient. The four copper talismans that serve as the main thread of the book in the plan symbolize the four states of life that exist in heaven and earth through different forms. I wanted to introduce one talisman to each book, but in that case, at least five volumes would be needed, so some plots had to be simplified. . In addition, I also plan to explain in this volume the real reason why the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" became a broken book, as well as the story of the previous owner of the gold-touching talisman. The whole book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" starts from the remaining volume of "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and ends with the past when "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" was destroyed. In addition to the content of the Dixian Village adventure, the last volume also contains These episodes are also included.
