Recently, many readers have been guessing how many chapters "Tianshu" has left. Actually, there is no need to guess. I have already said that "Tianshu", "Earth Master", and "Spiritual Mountain" are the same. They all have 360 chapters. In other words, it will be finished in the middle of May this year. This has been confirmed long before I put pen to paper.
So far, I have published "Fugue", "Ghost Stocks", "Human Desire", "Spiritual Mountain", "Earth Master", and "Tianshu" on the internet. They are all independent stories that focus on different themes and take place in different backgrounds. Even the writing style is different. However, if someone reads all the stories in this series, they will find that there are many very interesting connections between them.
In fact, I started thinking about this series of stories many years ago, long before online literature appeared. Thanks to the arrival of the Internet era, thanks to a platform like the internet, I have the opportunity to write and publish them. The process of writing is also the process of perfecting various thoughts.
Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghost, God, Spirit, they cannot be summarized with a single theme. What I write is what I see in the world. Then, I let my imagination run wild. The various systems interweave with each other and become a complete world in words.
When "Tianshu" is finished, I have finally described this grand concept. It is a weave of the knowledge, thinking, imagination, and various characters over the years. I did not expect that I would finish it. But looking back, I have really finished it. I have used words to build a grand world of reality, thinking, and dreams.
It contains stories from ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, and the origins of various thoughts. There is the Heavenly Court, the Immortal World, the Spiritual Mountain, and the Heavenly Kingdom. There are stories between Gods, Immortals, and Buddhas, stories between Gods and humans. There are also stories about how ordinary mortals become Gods, Immortals, and Buddhas. It also includes the stories of the mortals around us, and the stories that are happening in the pugilistic world.
Of course, limited by my knowledge, I can only describe it to the best of my ability. What I express is my understanding.
Some readers have asked me why I call "Fugue", "Ghost Stocks", and "Human Desire" the "God, Ghost, and Man Trilogy" instead of "Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghost, and Spirit Six Parts". Of course, it was not because they were written the earliest, but because the main plots of these three novels had a relatively close connection, and they all happened in the background of modern life. All the foreshadowing in the other stories was finally collected in the end.
Some people have also asked me about the era in which the main setting of the story takes place. "Dubhe" should be the first, followed by "Spiritual Mountain" and then "Fugue". Why didn't I write "Dubhe" first?
Because I don't want to. If I write "Dubhe" in that order as the first book, people might misunderstand that I'm some kind of missionary. I've already written the first five books and expressed everything that should be expressed. If I write "Dubhe" and complete the structure of the world system, I can avoid such misunderstandings.
And why did I write "Fugue" first? Not only was the story the most interesting, but it was also the foundation of the worldview. The most complete and macroscopic expression of the conceived world was "Spiritual Mountain", and the writing of "Dubhe" was the final perfection. He could finally heave a sigh of relief and get himself a bottle of good wine.
Many readers were asking what the next book would be about. I'll announce first — of course I'll write a new book! I'm now a professional web writer, doing what I love. The new book is expected to be released in late July, but I won't announce the title for now.
I'm sorry that I'll have to make everyone wait for a while, because according to my habit, I'll only start writing when the main structure of the story is complete. Actually, I've already started writing this new book when I was writing "Master of Earth", but I'll only start writing it in the second half of this year. In the meantime, I'll have to add a lot of material to enrich the content and plot.
After "Dubhe" is finished, I'll go to Gusu and Jinling to collect historical stories, because the main setting of the new book will be there.
As for the content of the new book, I can reveal a little bit. It'll take place in the contemporary era we're living in, and it's a strange story in an urban setting. Around us, in our daily lives, in the streets and alleys, there may be all kinds of "demons". They're no different from ordinary people, and ordinary people can't tell them apart. For example, your company's boss may be some kind of monster, and a certain city girl that you're infatuated with may be the legendary fox demon.
Before "Dubhe" is finished, according to the usual practice, I'll post a post in the book review section to solicit new side characters. When the time comes, I invite all readers who are interested to volunteer.
Maybe someone will ask — — Will this new book have any connection to the story of "Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghosts, and Spirits"? I can answer loudly — — It can't be said that there's a connection, but it will definitely be!
Because I've already constructed a world of words, which is a world weaved from reality and imagination, beyond but not separate from it. The world described in the first six books is already complete, and I have no intention of weaving more. But for those who live in the modern era, they may also appear inadvertently.
Therefore, Little Youzi, Mr. Zhang, Bai Shaoliu, Mei Xi … … and other characters may appear as modern people, doing their own things in this new story. In the modern city, you or I may also appear, so let's all play side characters together!
Of course, there's also the most popular, but also the most controversial, Feng Junzi. As long as he appears, he will cause all kinds of climaxes. Then, he will definitely appear, no matter who likes it, no matter if he has time or not, I'll invite him to appear!
