Volume Two Completed
First of all, I apologize for the late update.
But he wrote nearly seven thousand words in one go, bringing this volume, "The Poor Scholar," to a close.
All the main foreshadowing elements have been resolved. Readers who pay close attention should be able to notice the connections between the beginning and the end. Although it was slow, Xiao Rong wrote everything he wanted to write, so it's a relief.
The ending of this volume is so unexpected, I wonder if you guys guessed it? If you didn't, type 1.
I recall that the opening words of this volume, "The Poor Scholar," were: "The strategist enters the game himself, and with one move, he wins half a move against Heaven."
Ouyang Lianghan did indeed rely on a "half-stone advantage" strategy throughout the game, cough cough, he won so badly he was completely overwhelmed.
In fact, this also made the "Pipa Xing" plot near the end somewhat difficult to handle.
Because of the grand climax at the end of the second volume, the protagonist dominates and overwhelms everyone.
It's impossible to create a somber and sorrowful emotional atmosphere to match "The Song of the Pipa".
This kind of melancholy and sorrow can only be created and is more powerfully conveyed by pure literature with "tragedy" at its core.
In contrast, most online articles revolve around the core theme of "a comedic happy ending".
Xiao Rong can't be written like that; the climax must be exhilarating, and you can't write about a spineless protagonist.
Therefore, given that Ouyang Lianghan was "completely defeated," in order to create the appearance of "The Song of the Pipa," he could only try his best to use "not being able to find the embroiderer" and "the sorrow of parting" as the background.
Even in the ending, Xiao Rong tried her best to avoid making any explicit or comedic scenes, because such scenes would disrupt the atmosphere of "Pipa Xing".
It's like adding butter to stir-fried pork with chili peppers.
Regardless of the outcome, this section of "The Song of the Pipa" was finally written, complete and intact, thus burying the pit.
From the very beginning of "The Gentleman," Xiao Rong set a goal:
Getting it done is more important than getting it perfect.
When writing "Sword Maiden", Xiao Rong pursued perfection.
"The Gentleman" seeks only one thing: completion.
Only a newborn calf dares to call itself perfect.
Only after being severely beaten did I realize the value of the word "completion".
One scroll after another, like taking one step at a time.
Volume 1, "The Craftsman," is complete; Volume 2, "The Poor Scholar," is complete; Volume 3, "The Elixir of Immortality," is about to begin.
The foreword is tentatively set as follows:
Exploring the tiger's den and entering the dragon's palace, I exhale towards the sky, and a white rainbow appears.
Don't get the wrong idea, "exploring the tiger's den" doesn't refer to that tiger's den... Okay, actually, it's not wrong to get the wrong idea, yes, that's exactly what I meant!
But the source of this line, as a clever fellow should be able to recall, is its historical connection to the "elixir of immortality." The preceding line of this poem is also a household name.
Lastly, I want to say that the climax of each volume will be different, not a monotonous and repetitive template. I always want to write something new, and the third volume is no exception, with a new climax plot that I haven't written before.
that's all!
Hehe, I wouldn't write it if it wasn't interesting.
We need to make something interesting, at least something that Xiao Rong finds interesting.
Because those who read this chapter are all interesting people.
The gentleman has a group of the best book lovers.
