Chapter 83 About the origin

To be honest, I really can't remember the original intention of writing this novel at that time.But I know that it must not be that kind of noble and great idea.I have never been a person with that kind of literary ideal, and I never want to tell others what kind of family I am.To put it bluntly, what I have pursued since childhood is a sense of recognition, and storytelling is precisely the way for me to obtain a sense of recognition more easily.So, although I can't remember, I can almost certainly say that when I wrote my first 3,000 words, it was probably just to get some applause.

This is a very low pursuit.A long time ago, I was ashamed to say it because it was so worldly, although I understand that even if he is not a great person, he will do a career because of the happiness of many people, and I am not as noble as them. Because of slogans, he became anxious and felt that his motives were impure. "Tomb Raiders Notes" is derived from a folktale, which was told to me by my grandmother.This story made a deep impression on me when I was a child. The story is about a landlord who bought an empty house and wanted to plant some flowers and plants in the backyard of the house, but found that no matter what he planted, he couldn't survive, so he asked a Feng Shui master.The feng shui master said that there seemed to be something wrong with the yard, so the landlord hired a long-term worker to start digging the yard. Halfway through the digging, blood began to be seen, and it was unclear whether it was real blood or red muddy water.Finally, a large carved coffin was dug out under the ground of the yard, whose name was unknown.

They put the coffin in the ancestral hall, and the village has been restless ever since.Not only the things in the field are not alive, but even the landlord’s family is dying. Various strange things happened to the neighbors around, so I had to continue to find the Fengshui master.After seeing it, the Feng Shui master asked them to continue digging in the yard, digging down tens of meters, and dug out a smaller coffin. It turned out that this was a joint burial, and the husband and wife were very affectionate, but because the wife's coffin sank more severely, the two coffins were farther and farther apart underneath, and the resentment became heavier.

The village head found another geomantic location, laid stone slabs underground, put down the two coffins, and buried them together again, and everything calmed down. I developed more associations in this story, and used the elements in it to write the first chapter of "Tomb Raiders Notes". I remember that the first chapter of the story has more than 3,000 words, and I only wrote it for less than half an hour without any modification. Close your ears, hoping to hear some cheers to satisfy your vanity. It took five years to hear this. During the five years, I experienced changes that I could never have imagined before.But now, when I look back at the pursuit that I thought was very low, I find that it has become the most noble slogan at present.

Stephen once said in the preface of "The Dark Tower": I wrote this book and made a lot of money, but the initial happiness of writing this book has nothing to do with money.Five years later, I have become a so-called best-selling author, but I am very fortunate that I am happiest when I hear some applause in that obscure place on the Internet, and at the moment I finish writing, I Looking forward to that time even more.
