First of all, thank you for the support of a speck of dust into a dream, Wen Yu, I eat tomatoes and other children's shoes, and the support of other friends who are willing to read my novels, because of you, Mu Yu has been writing the novels down. .
This is a magical realism novel, but unfortunately, there is no such category, so I put it in a random category: suspense and supernatural. I would like to thank my readers for being able to read the first season of this magical and realistic novel with the expectation of "suspense and supernatural".
We live in an era of drastic changes. It seems that yesterday we were still using computers to shop for treasures, and today we all use mobile phones to pay for everything. past. Our life is becoming more and more difficult. When we still miss the carefree childhood, when we went to college and started working, we suddenly realized that housing prices are so expensive and the cost of marriage is so high. How can we afford to have a child in the future? What mood did we feel when we left the school gate? I want to show my skills and make a big splash! But after working for a few years, we find that our life is not satisfactory. On weekends, we may receive a call from our boss to work overtime. We are obviously not happy about working overtime late, and we need to send a circle of friends to tell the bosses that I have worked hard and finally have something to show off. Dongxi quickly posted a photo to see how many people liked it. When reporting to parents, they always report good news but not bad news. In fact, they work hard and look for the possibility of job-hopping for a little more income every month. Some people even start their own businesses. .
We live more and more realistically, and are farther and farther away from our past self. When a friend talked to us about the word "ideal", we suddenly discovered that this word is so strange, it seems to be a very long time ago. , with the laughter and laughter at that time, carefree, constantly looking forward to and going away. After sighing, continue to work hard.
So some people entrust their wishes that cannot be realized in reality to virtual reality. Some time ago, I chatted with a construction guy, and I was very surprised to find that we have such a big similarity in terms of reading. We have all read the novels of Xiuxian, which are constantly upgraded, and the novels with perspective eyes. I have read novels with strange medical skills that can look down on the world, and I have read novels with a certain special ability that has countless harems, money, and beauties rushing towards me. We chatted happily, gambling on stones, acupuncture and so on.
I asked my brother, why do you read these novels
My brother’s answer made me sad: Look at the building we built, which costs 30,000 yuan per square meter. When will I be able to afford it? I read the novel, the characters in it are worth billions of dollars, and the beauties are like clouds, I can still have a good time.
The reason I'm sad is not because I'm sad for my little brother, but because I read these novels, and it's the same.
Escape from reality.
But every time I come back to reality after finishing the novel, I still have to face those difficult customers and the struggles of our own stomachs. We cheer up, whether we like it or not, and tell ourselves, for our own family, for our own Future, for our own parents, we must improve in this way, this is maturity.
The problem is, we never seem to ask our souls, is this what we want
We dare not ask because we are afraid the soul will tell us another answer. What should we do if our soul doesn't want this life at all
I don't believe that in the depths of that little brother's soul, he readily accepts the matter of moving bricks. what can he do He can only walk alone regardless of the soul, and then make friends with other people who walk alone regardless of the soul.
Zhou Yuan is such an extreme.
This novel describes several stages of Zhou Yuan who lost his soul. From the beginning, we were worried about his life and death, and later became chilled by his performance.
When I first came to City S, a friend told me that City S is a cool city. He once saw a beggar downstairs in their company begging. It was very pitiful. He observed it for 15 minutes and the people passing by There was no expression on his face, and he didn't give a penny.
I asked him: and then? how do you do it
He said: Then I went to work upstairs.
I was surprised: You didn't give it either
He said: Why should I give it
Zhou Yuan's behavior after losing his soul is indeed very abominable. He turned a blind eye to Liu Shuai and Hao Ning's help to him several times, and was insensitive, but haven't we seen this kind of behavior in reality
Let me talk about the basic setting of this novel, the birth of gods.
God is an old and new concept.
In most of the novels we have read, either the past is more important than the present, or the present is more important than the past. The representative consciousness of thickening the past and thinning the present is some kind of mysterious power in ancient times. Once discovered by the protagonist, it can sweep away all the current powers. Thickening the present and thinning the past is more inclined to today's various technological developments, enabling people to have the perfect power beyond the past. There are too many specific novels, and you are welcome to take a seat.
And it is very interesting that myths and Taoism can often only live in a completely empty world, which is easy to understand, because there are many restrictions on writing miracles in this world. Instead of this, it is better to change to another battlefield, this battlefield It can be ancient times or exotic places, anyway, readers are very happy.
The problem is that the past and the present are continuous, and there is no God in the past, and now it is completely gone.
Therefore, this novel has a setting for God, which is born of people's belief. This concept is not the first time I have proposed it. In fact, there have been many similar hypotheses in the past. However, Mu Yu is going to discuss this setting in depth, and based on this, set up the entire world view.
So there is a fashionable version of "Guanzizai", Yunzi who likes to study and "copycat" things, "Yan" who likes to play King of Glory and watch variety shows, and "Lan Ruo" who wanders around the world and does business with souls , and the "new gods" born of people's extreme attention to the Internet.
"New God" may be the key point.
Everyone, don't think that the birth of a "new god" is far away from us. I just read the book "A Brief History of the Future" recently, and I was surprised to find that the author's subtitle for this book is: From Homo sapiens to Homo sapiens.
Last year (2017) I participated in a private sharing by Tencent, and there was a sentence in it that may be shocking to other Internet practitioners: Tencent's strategy is to fill any "mobile Internet time" of users through apps one by one. For the morning commute, use Tencent News, chat with WeChat, share with Moments, play games with King of Glory, watch videos with Tencent Video, and pay with WeChat... Then Tencent may be the place with the most "new gods".
So in 2017, we saw some chapters written: xx has been made a god. Although it is a joke, let's think about it in conjunction with the subtitle of "A Brief History of Mankind", aren't we in a stage of constantly "appointing new gods"
Whether you admit it or not, this society already has "Papa Ma" and "Old Man Wang", who are constantly deifying and creating "myths" at the same time. (If you forget the difference between mythology and deification, please read the dialogue between Hao Ning and Guan Zizai in the novel.
We thought God was in the temple, but in fact, God is beside us, whispering to us, let us continue to worship, to create more "non-phase incense".
However, as "Yunzi" said, let's not forget that only mortals can become gods. It's you, it's me, it's the construction guy, it's the beggar who doesn't give money, it's us ordinary dicks, relying on the talent of "borrowing supernatural powers" to borrow everything we can to create this All kinds of wealth in society can make these "new gods" appear!
We may be Zhou Yuan who lost his soul because he wanted to improve too much.
We may be Liu Shuai who lost his parents when he was young but still strives for self-improvement
We may be Zhang Quan who lives in "Futukang" but enjoys himself
We may be studying abroad, but a red heart shines on Zhang Chihang who returned from China
We may be Yang Laode who was misunderstood by his subordinates and was angry for a while but was willing to give it a chance
We may be warm-hearted Yan, but we have to be indifferent due to professional reasons
Please remember that when you consume anything in this world, you are doing a unique "great cause of conferring the gods".
About this novel.
This novel can be said to be a tragedy:
Zhou Yuan, who was unable to work, lost his soul and became a walking dead. In the end, he was not saved, and his soul was broken and incomplete.
Liu Shuai, who has never met his father since he was a child, is full of hope but he is different. His father is no longer his father, and he cannot recognize each other even though he is in front of him.
The dick, Zhang Quan, loved Li Xiaohua wholeheartedly, but was injured all over because of an accident.
Monkey King, because of a single sentence, couldn't find his heart, and finally died.
This novel can be called a comedy:
Zhou Yuan, who has lost his soul, has become a walking dead, but his friends will never leave him, trying every means to save him, because they know that Zhou Yuan who has become the "Tucao God" is not himself.
Liu Shuai, who lost his father, but with the help of his friends and Zhang Chihang, had epiphanies and growth time after time, and finally not only defeated Lan Ruo, but also kissed his favorite "goddess"
The dick Zhang Quan, after being covered in injuries, was taken care of by his own Li Xiaohua, embraced the beauty, and even finally instructed Hao Ning to become a god.
Sun Wukong, although his body is dead, has already asked and knows where the ape is.
This is not a novel, this is a portrayal of us dicks living in this world. From another perspective, it is a tragedy, but looking back, it is a comedy.
Of course, the story is not over yet. Due to work, I need to stop writing for a while. If possible, I hope to continue writing later. After all, I haven't finished talking about why faith can "confess the gods", what exactly does the "new god" do, who is bewitching Jiang Ziya, what will happen to Zhou Yuan in the end, and so on.
Because the theme of the first season is: I see the gods. Therefore, it is described in the first person. In the following description methods, the person may be switched according to the theme.
Finally, when many people read this postscript, it should be Chinese New Year, so Jiangnan Muyu hereby makes a New Year's wish:
Jiangnan Muyu hopes that this novel will be liked by everyone in the end, and it is best to publish it. If a book can be published, Jiangnan Mu Yu hopes to add a special printing technology to this book, so that this magical realism novel is truly both realistic and magical. As for what it is, let's keep it a secret. If the book is really published, I hope it will happen.
At the same time, the book will explain some hidden problems of the novel, including but not limited to:
Why is Guanzizi male and not female
Does Guan Zizai really ignore the world and become Guan Zizai
Why did Guan Zizai become the director of a fashion magazine
You say that Guan Zizi is a man, I can accept it, but why do you want to study at an Ivy League school in the United States? Isn’t this worshiping foreigners
Why does Guan Zizai call Zhuge Liang a monster, and think that it is wrong for Hong Boy to work for Zhuge Liang
Is Guan Zizi really unable to go back in time by controlling time
Why is it so troublesome for Honghaier to release the Samadhi True Fire
The red boy in "Journey to the West" doesn't have three heads and six arms, so why can the one in "Liao Zhai of the Gods"
Who is Zhang Quan? Why do you like copycat things
I have said copycat many times, are you despising copycatization, or are you advocating copying others
Why does Liu Shuai's master only teach Liu Shuai in his dreams? Does he really have no affection for Liu Shuai
This is the first step in my life to write a novel with more than 100,000 words. For Zongheng, 100,000 words is really not worth mentioning, but I hope that my 100,000 words can be remembered by every reader who is watching. I am very happy.
Since it is published in seasons, the stories of each season are complete, and the relationship between the front and the back is relatively close. You can read it again, and you will find that although some places seem to be unconstrained, they actually echo back and forth. The story of the new season is also being conceived, but Jiangnan Muyu hopes to construct a complete story relationship and present it to everyone after the overall writing is completed.
150,000 characters, 150,000 characters is impossible to become a VIP in Zongheng. Even if it becomes a subscription book, it must be written very slowly with Jiangnan Muyu's writing method. Instead of making everyone wait every day, it is better to present one season at a time.
The disadvantage is that Jiangnan Mu Yu may not be able to earn money through subscriptions. Here, if you really like "Liao Zhai of the Gods", you are welcome to give a lot of rewards and let Mu Yu buy some food, haha! Or recommend this novel to your friends, Mu Yu will be very happy, thank you!
I wish all the current gods: 2018, Happy New Year!
ps: I have friends in Weibo Ai in Xiyanggan who think it’s good, we can communicate with each other
