A lot has happened during this year. Thanks to everyone, and with everyone's support, Linyuan can do what he can for his family. Thanks to everyone, Linyuan can stand up a little during the Chinese New Year this year. ? (probably)
Tell us about the plan for this book.
Originally, I updated this book because there were no updated and good-looking Xianxia on the market, and my friend was young and frivolous, so I thought they could do it, so why couldn’t I?
So I opened this book with great arrogance, and the result...
After a while of head-scratching and bleeding, I realized that just because they were good, it didn’t mean that I was good too. I was actually a noob.
During this year, what I felt most was my grasp of the overall situation and my sense of powerlessness in describing the story.
Obviously a perfect plot has been laid out, and everything has been set up to continue, from the grand opening to the rise in the middle period, but in the later stages it is always a failure, starting at the beginning but ending at the end
That feeling is like clicking on a pornographic movie when you are excited, watching the wonderful foreplay, understanding the plot of the story, and seeing good mid-term development, but when you want to vent in the later stage, the plot is over and you wither. .
Alas, come to think of it, I was too high-minded at the beginning and set too many limits on the protagonist.
If Penglai Dao Sect, Tianhe Dao Sect, and Qinghua Dao Sect were not of the same level, if Penglai Dao Sect did not have Chunyang, Mahayana, or even integration, then the plot would be much more exciting.
A Penglai Taoist sect that was once glorious but now in decline, a Penglai Taoist sect that is only famous on the coast of the East China Sea.
The protagonist Jiang Sheng joins them, grows up and experiences in the seven countries of the East China Sea, meets the river god in Qi State, meets Jie Xiu in Lu State, encounters the oppression of aristocratic families in Chu State, and finally escapes into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains and encounters the great demon , then pick up the demon eggs, hatch the cubs, and then go to Zheng to participate in the Seven Kingdoms Competition and win the championship in one fell swoop?
Then he got involved in the Ten Thousand Years of Catastrophe, causing trouble in the Tang Dynasty, a powerful country with the existence of Mahayana, encountering various dangers, encountering the forces of Western Buddhism, and meeting the Nether Emperor of the previous Yuanhui. After a series of life and death, he snatched the mother earth energy from Western Buddhism, and then stood out at the Dharma banquet of Zhenjun Liuhua Danxia, proved Taiyi Yuanying, and then faced the huge Dragon Palace of the East China Sea with the Tang Dynasty. The power that makes people tremble.
Jiang Sheng could even disguise himself and join the Taoist palace, get the praise of the heavenly officials, the attention of the earthly officials, and the love of Su Yajun, the descendant of the heavenly master, kill the dragon together, and obtain the treasure seal of the judicial heavenly king.
In the follow-up, it can be written that the Penglai Taoist Sect was oppressed by the Demon Emperor Palace during the Ten Thousand Years of Catastrophe, looked down upon by the Tianhe Taoist Sect and the Qinghua Taoist Sect, was despised by the Datianlong Temple and the Dajin Zen Temple, and then let Jiang Sheng defeat a group of geniuses and win the championship. Then Pan Feng Realm came, facing the leader Chun Yang, the Shanhai Realm was on the verge of collapse. At this time, the founder of the Penglai Taoist Sect returned and made a three-part agreement with the Chunyang Emperor. Jiang Sheng went to fight with the Panfeng Realm and single-handedly defeated the geniuses of the Panfeng Realm and won a glimmer of hope for the Mountain and River Realm.
Later, whether it is traveling to the Linghua Realm, going to the Pingxiang Realm to show the saints, or meeting a group of genius fairies, it is all very easy to write.
You can also write that the Chixiao Sect and the Penglai Taoist Sect are old friends. The Chixiao Taoist Lord is optimistic about Jiang Sheng and gives him the opportunity to go to the depths of chaos. In that case, the plot of the Mountain and Sea Realm will put Jiang Sheng under greater pressure, and the things available to him will be more Less, finding that glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, that beam of light is undoubtedly more beautiful.
I have been thinking about it. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I am thinking, would it be better if I wrote it this way? Is the plot more exciting?
I think so.
That’s why the authors started from a low starting point and developed step by step, which makes sense.
I was still young and wanted to write a story that was different from others, but the result was unsatisfactory.
I am aware of these problems, so I want to try to modify it. In the world of mountains and seas, I try to abandon the background of Penglai Taoism as much as possible, and only give Jiang Sheng the help of Xiangyu Xianjun, so that Jiang Sheng can make trouble on his own in the world of mountains and seas. story.
I set up the world of mountains and seas very big, involving two Yuanhui and two time and space.
Qi Miao Mo Lian, who is plotting against Qi Miao Xuanjun, Xin Miao who is deliberately causing trouble, the already complicated situation in the Shanhai Realm, plus Luo Hu and Li Yang, the two masterminds behind the scenes, and Qi Miao Mo Lian, who is plotting to gain freedom. This deity
I have set up a complete plot for this story and a series of branches.
Unfortunately, I still haven't finished it.
My mother had a tumor in her lungs. She originally thought it would be cured if she had an operation, but now she found that it was not cured.
Late stage lung cancer, bone metastasis
It wasn't until this moment that I realized that time flies by so fast. I am not Jiang Sheng, who has the golden eyes that can see through everything, and I am not Qingyan Tianzun, who can mediate fate and turn things around. I can't even understand it.
So I posted a single chapter telling everyone to spend more time with their families and get together with their families more often. I am not too young this year. I have not seen my grandfather since I was a child, but I have a grandmother who loves me, a father and a mother. Although my parents later divorced, I feel that nothing has changed. .
I saw my second grandpa with my own eyes. My younger grandpa passed away due to stomach cancer. Unexpectedly, lung cancer has now come to my mother again.
So during this time, I have been by my mother's side, chatting with her, eating and walking with her.
Speaking of which, I am used to eating alone, and I don’t know how long it has been since I had a good meal and chat with my mother.
I don't mean to be miserable or to pity everyone. Today, the country has sound medical insurance and a comprehensive serious illness system.
Although my mother only has urban medical insurance, it can reimburse half of the expenses, and there are also discounts for serious illnesses and chronic diseases.
The country has done a really good job at this.
From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, in just over seventy years, the country has developed from poverty to the first industrial country and the first economy. We have our own aircraft carrier fleet, we have the J20, and our ballistic missiles are known to the whole world. We have DF17, we have our own space station, and now we have the latest sixth-generation machine, which is not even one!
A series of policies such as urban medical insurance and serious illness medical treatment set up by the state also give ordinary people a guarantee and hope for treatment.
So I won’t complain. It took the country more than 70 years to do what other developed countries could do in 200 to 300 years. It ensured the lives of ordinary people as much as possible and gave us a peaceful environment. , in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I have nothing to complain about.
It is also thanks to everyone's blessing that I can have money to support my mother's medical treatment.
Thank you all very much. Thank you very much.

Ah, again, only by being born in this country can you know how difficult this country is. Although it has problems of one kind or another, isn't this what we need to change and work hard for?
He has made us the newborn sun and the hope of the future. Brothers and sisters, please do not underestimate yourself.
After rambling a lot, it’s time to talk about my future expectations for this book.
Again, I originally planned to write one to two million words and be done with it, but since everyone wants me to make it longer, I will make it longer.
Wrote three million, four million, even five million.
Write down the Taoist and Buddhist side worlds such as Tianyuan Realm, Shaoguang Realm, Canghai Realm, and Jiuzhou Realm for everyone to see.
This book will not be unfinished for any reason. I will keep updating it, write all the worlds, and write an ending.
Finally, I wish everyone a Happy New Year and a Happy New Year
May you all have a prosperous journey in 2025. Thank you for your company.
