There are 8 movies in the series "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", namely: "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 1 Jingjue Ancient City", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2 Longling Cave", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3 Yunnan Worm Valley", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 4 Kunlun Shrine", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 5 Huangpizi Tomb", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 6 Nanhai Return to Ruins", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 7 Nuqing Xiangxi", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 8 Wuxia Coffin Mountain".
1. "Jingjue Ancient City"
Starting from the archaeological team entering the desert to search for the Jingjue Ancient City, it touches on distinct geographical and cultural elements, such as the Western Desert, Kongque River, Shuangsheng Mountain, The Thirty-Six Kingdoms, Loulan Female Corpse, and Dunhuang Murals. When these elements are mentioned, a mysterious atmosphere comes to your face. Therefore, in this part of Jingjue Ancient City, the sense of mystery is taken as the core of the story.
To In the end, Queen Jingjue didn't show up, so it was considered a mystery. 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 edit 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.
2. "Longling Labyrinth"
The second volume of the first part of "Ghost Blowing Lamp" "Longling Labyrinth", in fact, the story of this volume is divided into three parts , the first is the discovery of the ghost tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty by fighting in Longling, the second is the gold school captain's treasure hunt in Heishui City, and the third is the surface of 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" on the whole. If we talk about horror, this is just one of many elements in this book, not the main one. The only volume that is full of suspense is "Longling Labyrinth", which is full of suffocating buttons of traditional scripts. This is a sensational volume
3. "Yunnan Worm Valley"
< p>The third volume of the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" "Yunnan Worm Valley", I happened to be watching the World Cup when I wrote the story of 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 of the remake of "King Kong". There was a scene where the expedition team used a turntable submachine gun to fight against the evil centipede in the valley. , I really like this scene. An expedition team with old-fashioned equipment, kayak drifting, the wreckage of a crashed military aircraft, a ghostly Morse signal, and a Chicago typewriter.
Giant insects that have not died for tens of millions of years, the corpse hole effect that devours everything, and the jungles and fossil caves with harsh natural environments, fight through obstacles, so the Yunnan Worm Valley was launched, which is completely a treasure map-style tradition. It has adventure elements, plus a strange supernatural and science fiction color. This is a volume that combines old and new adventure elements.
4. "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 the Queen Mother of the West 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.
5. "Huangpizi's Grave"
If we follow the original plan, we will still have to describe four different key elements in the four volumes of the second part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". The reason why I wanted to write a prequel was mainly to liven up my thoughts and words so that I would not lose patience due to 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 thinking was active, the protagonists in this period are not yet mature, but they are full of enthusiasm and overcome all difficulties. Unstoppable.
6. "Return to the Ruins of the South China Sea"
As a continuation of the first story, in the previous volumes, the author feels that in the traditional Chinese industry, there are descriptions of gold and gold. There are many very risky professions, and the most risky ones are undoubtedly those who fish 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.
7. "Angry Qing Xiangxi"
In this volume, the author's working hours are very loose. If he has more time, he will be able to write more leisurely, so just from the words Speaking of things, the author feels that "Nu Qing Xiangxi" is the most exquisite volume among the eight volumes. Because there are more and more restrictions on modern themes, he 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 storyline continued to unfold, the origins and anecdotes of these industries were gradually outlined. , legends, techniques.
Because the previous few books mainly focused on tomb robbing by looking at Feng Shui, 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 they don’t know that there are many weird tomb robbing among the people. Way.
8. "Wuxia Coffin Mountain"
As the last volume of the book, "Wuxia Coffin Mountain" has a relatively heavy task. The most important thing is the number of words. According to Calculating the number of words agreed upon in the contract, among the first three volumes of the second volume, the first volume was about 30,000 words short, so they had to be added to the last volume. Therefore, this volume is a super long one, half a book too long, but Even so, the length of the final volume 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 in different forms. I would like to draw one talisman from each book, but in that case, at least five will be needed. This book has to simplify some plots.
