Xixia dead book

Chapter 63: Legend of the Undead in the Book of the Dead (63)
"Indeed it's gone. Zhao Yong led people to search for Makarov again, but he couldn't find Makarov at all. No one was alive or dead. The next day, after Zhao Yong asked the headquarters to send more people, he pulled They searched the entire valley, including other nearby valleys and hillsides, until dark, but failed to find any traces of Makarov, including his backpack, guns, passports and other items he carried. I didn't find anything!" Han Jiang said.

"How did this happen? Could it be... Could it be that Makarov was fine after jumping off the car, or woke up before me and took away the jade screen? I... I don't believe that the old horse would do this!" Tang Feng He thought of the worst possibility, but he couldn't believe it.

Han Jiang pondered for a while, and said: "When Zhao Yong reported this matter to me, I immediately thought, could it be that Makarov took the jade screen from your bag, and then left without saying goodbye? But I calmed down. After thinking about it, I feel that although this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, it is still unlikely. First of all, after getting along with Lao Ma during this period, I still believe in his character. He might do it, but right now, I don't believe he would do it; even putting aside this fact, it's not enough to prove that Makarov did it. Makarov jumped out of the car just like you, even if He is an old secret agent with rich experience, but after all, he is old, and he jumped out of the car with you to escape, and it is lucky that you fell like this, he will not get out of the car!"

Tang Feng nodded, and said: "Well! At that time, we both jumped off the car almost at the same time. I fell so badly, no matter how deadly he is, he will not be better than me!"

"Also, even if his old horse is desperate, he wakes up before you, is not seriously injured, and finds you. In order to complete the task, the old horse took away the jade screen, but I think he will not save you, right? , even if it’s just a signal.”

"That's right! He just took away the jade screen for the sake of the mission. I don't think the old horse will die."

"Let's take a step back. Even if the old horse is ruthless and doesn't save you, he is weak and may still be injured. How far can he go? Zhao Yong later searched the area with a helicopter." Han Jiang further infer.

"So, can we think that it wasn't the old horse who took the jade screen, or that group of men in black?" Tang Feng asked back.

Han Jiang thought for a while and said, "This possibility is indeed great, but I personally don't think it was the men in black who took the jade screen."

Tang Feng was puzzled and was at a loss: "Why not the men in black? Besides them, who else?"

"If you want to ask me why, I can only say that it is based on intuition and evidence, but intuition is more important. If you insist on asking me for evidence, I can only analyze it in this way. After being hit hard, I seem to have no strength to chase after you; second, you said that you have already escaped from the pursuit of the man in black. When you fell off the cliff, there was no one behind you, so who can find you quickly? Where did your accident happen? The men in black? I don’t think so. Third, if the men in black quickly rushed to the place where you fell off the cliff and took away the jade screen, why didn’t they kill you? They can do it Kill you. What about Makarov? Could it be that they rescued Makarov out of kindness? Based on the above three points, I don’t think it’s the work of the men in black.”

After listening to Han Jiang's analysis, Tang Feng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then you are still an old horse?"

Han Jiang shook his head and said, "It's really strange! I've been thinking about this question for the past two days. According to my speculation just now, it was not Makarov who took the jade screen from your bag, because he didn't have the ability to do so. Then there must be an outsider; and this outsider is not the group of men in black, because they also lost this ability at that time, and the method was different from what they used to do; wounded, then someone must have rescued him for some purpose. So, I think it's very likely that after you fell off the cliff, both you and Makarov were unconscious, and someone else Arrived soon, this person took the jade screen from your bag, he didn't save you, he didn't hurt you, but he saved Makarov, who could it be?"

"Yelena! According to you, only Yelena would do this, and she also mysteriously disappeared!" Tang Feng said loudly.

Hearing Tang Feng speculate that Yelena did it, Han Jiang's heart trembled, but he quickly shook his head and said, "Could it be her? I don't think so. The place where she disappeared is a long way from the place where your accident happened. The road is high and dangerous, and when Yelena went after the two men in black, she only took a gun and didn't bring any other equipment. Judging from the time and distance, it is unlikely to be her."

"If it's not Yelena, who could it be? Hey! It's a pity to lose the jade screen once it is obtained!" Tang Feng sighed.

Han Jiang frowned, and said dejectedly: "It's a pity that the lost jade screen is not the first jade screen you brought with you."

"What?!" Tang Feng was stunned.

"What's missing is the second jade screen found in the Heitou Stone Room!" Han Jiang also looked heartbroken.

"How could this be?"

"It's all my fault. You still remember, we ran out from the Heitou Shishi. At the pass, I put two jade screens into our backpacks respectively. The newly discovered jade screens in the Heitou Stone Room were in my hand. At that time, I considered that we might have to run separately, so I kept an eye out and put the newly discovered jade screen in your bag. This was the worst consideration and made the man in black mistakenly think that The newly discovered jade screen is on me, attracting them to chase me, so that even if something happens to me, the newly discovered jade screen is still there, but I didn't expect... Hey! Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, have I seen it? People chased you and Makarov, thinking you were all right, but I never thought it would turn out like this!" Han Jiang was annoyed.

After Tang Feng heard it, he couldn't believe it: "Then we have gone through untold hardships and finally got nothing. Professor Luo can't carry out research now."

"That's right! There is no progress in the research on the jade screen. We can only hope that other clues can make breakthroughs." Han Jiang paused, then suddenly slapped the window sill, and said, "Tang Feng, you just suspected It was Yelena, which reminds me, it wasn't Yelena, but it was probably theirs."

"Their people? You mean the colleagues of Makarov and Yelena? But why haven't we found out? How did their people quickly find the place where we fell off the cliff and rescue Makarov?" Tang Feng asked back Han Jiang.

"I don't know about these, but now I think this is the biggest possibility." After Han Jiang finished speaking, he turned his head and stared out the window blankly.The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, Han Jiang seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly he muttered: "It seems...it is very necessary for us to go to Petersburg!"

【Reprint Postscript】

I am very happy that "Book of the Dead in Xixia" can be republished, and I must thank everyone for their love and support for "Book of Dead in Xixia" for a long time.The editor asked me to write an afterword to talk about the past and present of "The Book of the Dead in Xixia", so I came up with this article.

The original idea of ​​writing "Book of Death in Xixia" sprouted at the end of 2008, when I quit my boring job at the university and started writing suspense novels.Before "Book of the Dead in Xixia", I once wrote a suspenseful adventure novel called "Black Sea Island", which contained the initial images of Tang Feng and Han Jiang.

At the end of 2008, I had deep doubts and confusion about the direction of writing and even the direction of life.At that time, I often crossed more than half of the city to chat with my classmate Zhao Yong's residence. During the chat, my thoughts collided, and some ideas gradually became clear.Once I said to Zhao Yong: "I want to write a big one!" So I came up with the original idea of ​​"Xixia Dead Book", and blurted out the title of "Xixia Dead Book".

The reason why Xixia is written is because of her mystery, she comes and goes in a hurry, flourishes for a while, and then disappears in the long river of history.The first time I saw the Xixia script in a museum, I was attracted by it. What unknown codes are hidden in those dead scripts?Thus, a grand, mysterious and bizarre adventure story begins slowly.

In the initial conception, the character Tang Feng was too perfect, but when the whole story was unfolded, I realized that when a person is in such adversity, how can he survive?ideal?Quest?Layers of heavy burdens are on Tang Feng, such a character really can't take care of all the dangers and tasks!So I decided to reinvent the wheel, and the pair of CPs Tang Feng and Han Jiang came into being.Tang Feng has become a male protagonist with flaws, and he even needs to learn a lot of his field adventure knowledge from scratch, which is more like the cultivation of Sun Monkey in "Journey to the West".Monkey King is already very good, but facing such a grand task as assisting Tang Seng to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, he is still far from enough, and he needs to practice from scratch!Tang Feng also experienced such a process of self-growth, after all, no one is born a hero.And Han Jiang is the image of a muscular man. Not only can he fight, he is also humorous, loyal and reliable, and he can use various equipment freely.Generally speaking, Han Jiang is a tough guy who relies on his brain to explore and fight.

During the expedition, I went to many places, from Qiang Village in western Sichuan to Langmusi, Animaqing Snow Mountain, from Helan Mountain in Ningxia to the depths of the Badain Jaran Desert. The mountains and rivers are magnificent, desolate and mysterious.This route was the migration route of the party members back then, and it was enough to cause quite a lot of trouble for Tang Feng and Han Jiang's journey.I also went to St. Petersburg, Russia, which is also a place closely related to Xixia. In 1909, the Russian explorer Kozlov discovered the Heishui City, which had been buried for thousands of years, and thus revealed a mysterious corner of the ancient Xixia Kingdom.The addition of the retired Russian general Makarov and the beautiful agent Yelena makes the journey of Tang Feng and Han Jiang even more dangerous and bloody.

Regarding the death of Liang Yuan in the end, many readers complained why I wrote Liang Yuan to death?Liang Yuan, the eldest lady, is carrying a family secret that she doesn't even know about. When the truth finally comes out, Liang Yuan is unable to face all of this. Putting myself in the same situation, how would we face it if we were Liang Yuan?I really can't bear to let her innocent face all this, so letting Liang Yuan die in the final struggle is the best choice.Besides, I have always believed that life is not perfect!I also don't like those seemingly perfect reunions in novels and film and television dramas, they are really vulgar!Liang Yuan's death is just a great regret in the final happy ending, which makes people sigh and ponder, isn't it better?
Briefly talked about the creation process of "Book of Dead in Xixia", and answered some questions about the story of "Book of Dead in Xixia", and then talked about the follow-up of "Book of Dead in Xixia". "Book of the Dead in Xixia" has been loved and supported by many readers since its publication, and the sales of the physical book are also very good, so some people approached me, wanting to adapt "Book of the Dead in Xixia" and make it into a movie , TV dramas, web dramas, and those who want to make games.Among these people are producers, directors, and executives of film and television companies. They are all kinds of people. In short, there are not many reliable people, and most of them are fools!I really like "The Book of the Dead in Xixia" very much. I have read many times that the producers who have ideas about the adaptation are also reliable. Unfortunately, I have more energy than I want. After all, I also know works like "The Book of the Dead in Xixia". The difficulty of adaptation is quite large, and the funding, special effects, actors and other aspects are not easy.

In the end, I found a reliable "mother's home" for "Book of the Dead in Xixia"-Perfect World Film and Television.Perfect World is a well-known listed company in film and television and games. The production standard of TV series has always been very high, and it has produced many high-level masterpieces.After two years of careful preparation, "The Book of Death in Xixia", a TV series with an investment of more than 2018 million yuan, has finally started filming, and will meet you in the summer of [-]. I hope you will like it.

Of course, what needs to be explained is that due to special reasons and technical limitations, the TV series still made a lot of deletions and changes to the original work, which may make some fans of the original work uncomfortable, but many deletions and changes are also an attempt. mentality.It is precisely because the TV series "Book of Death in Xixia" has made a lot of deletions and changes to the original work, so friends who are interested in the original work must take a look at the original "Book of Death in Xixia".

From 2008 to the broadcast of the TV series next year, I think it has been ten years, and now some readers often leave me messages on QQ, WeChat, and Weibo, talking about some past events.Some readers who read "Book of the Dead in Xixia" when they were in junior high school have graduated from university now, and some readers who read "Book of Dead in Xixia" in the dormitory when they were in college are now married and have children... I want to say that this set of books can accompany you Your youth is my greatest honor!This is the past and present of "Book of the Dead in Xixia". I hope she can go on and be loved by more readers and audiences.I also hope that I can have a different decade for myself.

Finally, I would like to thank some friends who have contributed to "The Western Xia Book of the Dead", and thank Gu Xingjun, the editor of the original version of "The Western Xia Book of the Dead", he is a serious and reliable editor!I would also like to thank Xu Xi from Perfect World Film and Television, happy every day!Thanks to my classmates and friends Xu Shao, Zhao Yong, Liu Heng, Jiang Zhangjing, and Yuan Jun who have been with me for a long time. I also want to thank my friends Lin Hongying, Hezi, Xuezhi, and my cousin Zhang Jun who helped me in Beijing!Of course, there are many friends who have helped me. Due to space limitations, I will not name them one by one.Most of us are the same age, reincarnation of the seasons, youth is far away, we have all clinging to ideals, moving forward with heavy burdens, and have tasted the tempering and surprises of life. I hope that everyone will have a bright future, never forget the original heart, and live up to this life.
