Writing method

[edit]

""Bang!" The shattered temple door was shattered into fragments and splashed away. At the same time, a woman appeared at the door.... "Chang!" The woman pulled the blade away from her sheath. Sen Han's sword aura swept Jiaoxie.... The woman's full-length dress was flying, and the sword glow skyrocketed. The bitter murderous aura immediately filled the audience. Jiao Xie knew that he would never let the opponent get the first chance, and then drink wildly. With a sound, people followed the knife in, turned into a rolling knife shadow, and rushed towards the other party. At this time, all the men came to help out. The white-clothed woman screamed, slanted and flew above Jiaoxie's head. The long sword slashed under the lightning. "Dang!" The sword blades fought....The white-clothed woman volleyed and fell between the two big men who had just arrived on the battlefield. The sword flew, and the two whirled. Fei fell away and couldn't get up again.... No matter where the sword was wounded, the sword hit his life. The five internal organs were shattered by the sword qi and died. When Jiao Xie recovered his qi, only The remaining four subordinates were still struggling to support, and they couldn't help but rushed up. The last one fell to the ground.... Jiao Xiezhan tried his best. When he blocked the sixth sword, the steel was beaten. Jiao Xie's life-threatening knife was cut by a sharp sword. Jiao Xie was so shocked that he used the broken hilt as a hidden weapon and threw it at the other party while raising his breath. Amidst the laughter, the woman whirled. The body not only avoided the broken hilt of the lasing shot, but also threw the long sword.

The plot features are similar to role-playing games, which can be divided into two aspects, one is the switching of the screen and the change of the narrative angle, and the other is the event triggered by the event, which is interlocking. Main line. The former is also about expressive techniques. When writing text, it is very focused on the creation of a sense of the picture. The text is used to shape the overall space, color, temperature, sound, role movements, etc., a very clear description is given, and left to Readers have less white space in their imagination and describe a lot of details more directly.

In the two-line narration, one paragraph of Xu Ziling's story and one paragraph of Kou Zhongshi's practice are adopted. If one of the people is skipped and connected, it is a very smooth and complete narrative, but the author deliberately intersperses the two people's parts. The writing seems to split the integrity of the text, but it has the advantage of allowing events to happen at the same time, making the events more authentic and credible. Even at the same time, the messages of Ssangyong in different scenes far away are transmitted to make the omniscient. Readers can fully see the connection of events.
