Embrace the blade

1. About martial arts.

When filling out the introduction of "Huai Ren", I thought and thought, and finally did not write the word "martial arts", but only called it "Jiang Hu Wen", because I am not sure whether the story I wrote in the end is true or not. Can be called "martial arts".

I always feel that martial arts can't just be a group of people fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes. It's not enough to be strong in martial arts, it must be enough to be called "Xia".As for the meaning of "Xia", the predecessors of Taishan Beidou seem to have exhausted, but I still have a little ambition, I want to write my own interpretation.

So I tried to cut in from another angle, and wrote about Cheng Nian and Cheng Juxian, the father and daughter, and Ruan Ning and Qin Zheng, the couple, about their sacrificed families, about the price they paid for practicing the morality in their hearts, and Ask if it's all worth it.

The answer is just like what Jiang Li said, if you stick to the right path, it doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not.

In addition, there are other attempts, such as breaking the usual thinking of rivers and lakes, so that Ruan Ning's brother Ruan Xiao was not poisoned, but died of an accident. Unfortunately, this attempt was not successful. After writing it, it was discovered that the word tetanus The way of death destroys the style of the story, presenting a kind of weirdness like a play.But I don't intend to change it, the attempt itself is meaningful.

Today, I typed the words "end of the text", and I have written a story that satisfies me, but whether it is qualified to be called "martial arts" or not, I leave the right of judgment to you.

2. About Qi Zhaoxi and Jiang Li

Writing the character of Qi Zhaoxi really made me a little distressed, because he is a character with no clear personality, undisciplined, careless about many things, has no internal motivation, and is not even suitable as a protagonist. There are also comments that the protagonist's image is so thin and has no depth.

But as I gradually got to know and understand him in the process of writing, I knew that was not the case.

He is careless, just because there is really nothing worth caring about in the world, and nothing is connected to him, like a tumbleweed, living according to inertia, but when he has someone he cares about, he behaves beyond expectations persistence.After the chapter revealing Jiang Li's life experience, that is, the confession chapter, was written, I turned off the computer and prepared to go to sleep. I closed my eyes, and what Qi Zhaoxi hadn't said was turning over and over in my mind: "I don't want to lose you."

Living in the world probably requires the connection between people and the need to be bound by each other.

Although the role of Jiang Li is set to be 23 years old, I always felt like a young man during the writing process. Because he lived in a deep valley since he was a child, and it was his first time in the world, he was a bit out of tune with this world, but he was so clean. I wrote him a sentence: Clear as a spring in the sky.

If I had to use one word to describe them, I think it would be "hug", hug tightly, share heartbeat and temperature, give each other support, and never be alone again.

3. About Shen Zhiyan and Yin Huaishu

Although written as deputy CP, in my heart, the two of them are not supporting roles.

After finishing "Jun Ji", I planned to write a martial arts novel. The two of them were the first to be conceived, and the first name I decided on was Qingyao.In the initial setting, Yin Huaishu is a priest of the Demon Cult, and he is a bit schizophrenic, so when I write about him in the text, I always feel a little crazy.I pushed down the plot and found that they were destined to die badly, and there was no way to make a HE ending, but I didn't want to write a long BE, so I put them aside and thought about a new story.

And when I had the prototype of "Huai Ren", the shadow of Yin Huaishu kept appearing in my mind, so I thought, well, I should write you.

Yin Huaishu is destined to pay the price for what he did, he may have expected it long ago, and he doesn't care.If you ask him how he wants to live in his next life, he might say, "It's so hard to be a human being, why do you need to have a next life?" Thinking about it again, you may feel that you can meet two people you love and also love deeply. It's not a loss for his people to come to the world.

In fact, I don't think Shen Zhiyan is a love brain. When he shoulders the responsibility, he knows how to choose. For example, if Pingchuan Town is besieged by the Demon Cult, he will restrain his emotions, put the overall situation first, and ensure the safety of the people in Jianghu.He has followed the rules since he was a child, and his only selfishness, his only rebellion, is that he fell in love with someone who shouldn't be liked. It should be said that he is naive, thinking that sacrificing his reputation can get the best of both worlds.

The relationship between Yin Huaishu and Shen Zhiyan gave me the feeling that it was vague and unrealized, just like when Shen Zhiyan saw his smiling side face when we first met, my heart fluttered for a moment and then forever.

4. About myself

From the summer of 2018 to the winter of early 2022, I must have never imagined that I would write for three and a half years.

It can be said that "Huai Ren" carried a very special time for me. I can recall the corresponding state when I wrote a certain period, and now I want to come with mixed feelings.

During the three and a half years, I was in a daze for a long time, not knowing what my future would be like. Throughout 2020, I lived in torment and pain. I felt like I was hanging in mid-air, with nowhere to fall. I also cried bitterly in the middle of the night, only to realize that the greatest pain of a person is really regret for myself. At that time, my life seemed to be It is stagnant, the only progress is the slow writing of updates, the progress of the article is advancing a little bit, as if I have not really achieved nothing and gained nothing. There is finally a turning point in 2021. I stopped updating three times, each time for about two months, and I was busy with my life, and these three times I finally got good results. I got rid of the shackles, relaxed, and was able to sit back in front of the computer Focus on typing the final chapters.

I especially want to thank my friends, I am a person who needs feedback, the consequence of slow updates is that I rarely see comments discussing the content of the plot, I am not sure how I write, so after about the middle period, every time I write After finishing a chapter, I sent it to my friend, and asked her how the mood here is, is it enough, is it not handled well here, what are the shortcomings, and she is even a little afraid of being annoying, but she is warm She is also determined, she will read it carefully and tell me what she likes, where she is moved, discuss the characters and plot with me, and find out the little details that I like very much.It feels really good to have empathy and I'm really lucky to have friends like that.

I also want to thank the friends who have been thinking about it, reminding me of it, and giving me confidence.

Of course, I would like to thank everyone who read this, thank you for your tolerance and waiting, and thank you for the emotion you invested in the reading process.The author's mission ends here, and the story is left to you.

see you later.
