Chapter 612: Nine-Square Tea Party 4: Wedge and Giant Tree
Nine-Square Tea Party 4: Wedge and Giant Tree
"The Ideal Nation of Demons (Volume 1)" has ended for a while, and feedback has been received from the background; some reflect that the proportion of case solving in this volume is too long, and some reflect that the amount of information is too large and too detailed, making them feel a bit confused.
This tea party will communicate with everyone on these two points. Actually, they are both good questions, because there is only one answer. ^_^
There are thousands of writing techniques; why did Nine-Square choose to solve cases?
Because when you are an outsider with no foundation, there is basically no means that will be easier and faster than holding special privileges and tracking major cases to approach the root of a nation's contradictions, the peak of struggle, and the center of power.
It lets you bypass surface obstacles and strike directly at the inside.
Look at foreign suspense series and detective series; the final spearhead is inevitably directed at the peak. I won't give examples in China, it's not convenient, you have a number in your hearts.
Why does a case take so long to investigate?
This returns to the second question: because the content it carries is too huge.
Beijia is a great empire of six hundred years; if I were serious about writing it into an imperial folklore encyclopedia, I'm afraid ten million words wouldn't stop it. But this is a serious mist-filled immortal cultivation text, and the author is very reliable, so I must show all aspects of Beijia to you within a limited space, including politics, economy, culture, folk customs... and of course, contradictions.
Especially contradictions.
As General Red said, no power is invincible, as long as you know it well enough.
From He Lingchuan's first entry into Beijia to his step-by-step rise, he inevitably has to experience various contradictions between humans and demons, the powerful and the commoners, vassal demon nations and Ling Xu City, Heavenly Gods and the human world, and Heavenly Gods and Ling Xu.
The various distortions hidden under the prosperity are often caused by deep-seated contradictions. We living in real society should also have feelings.
Just taking the contradiction between humans and demons as an example:
Although the status of commoners in Beijia is relatively low, they are full of vitality, naturally good at business, eager for development, and flexible in means (extreme), and accumulating wealth and crossing classes is their dream.
The demon race, on the other hand, acts recklessly in Beijia, with a population less than one-tenth of humans, but they monopolize resources, monopolize wealth, and also monopolize justice. Among them, there are naturally individuals/groups with powerful force, but overall they are high-energy-consuming, low-output, and sit in positions without doing their jobs.
How could there be no contradictions between such two groups?
(Discussing the book as a book, cough, don't associate randomly)
In short, these are the background, the contradictions, the anchors for the continued development of the plot in the future, and also provide support for the rationality of the protagonist's ideals and actions.
I also saw in the background that little friends asked why the protagonist stood so firmly in the opposing camp of Beijia?
Actually, the formation of human will is nothing more than external and internal causes, and it is often from the outside to the inside.
Without seeing, how can one have feelings?
Here is the lumberjack's little trick:
The giant tree reaches the sky, seemingly unshakable. The smart way is to drive a wedge into the right position; as long as the force is clever, there is no big tree that cannot be dug down.
Conversely, the purpose of madly pushing the wedge isn't the wedge itself, but to dry the big tree that is high and invisible.
The Elixir of Immortality case is this inconspicuous wedge.
Through it, we deeply penetrate a great empire of six hundred years.
And the protagonist prying it will eventually bring both spiritual and physical pain to Beijia.
The above is the author's design circuit for the upper volume.
Taking a few steps back, actually, no matter whether everyone can understand these or not, as long as you throw down the book and close your eyes, and can have an intuitive impression of the Beijia Empire in your mind, feeling that it is three-dimensional and vivid as if it exists in reality, then "The Ideal Nation of Demons (Volume 1)" is a success. ===== CHAPTER 613 =====
