So this anecdote is more for the author's own entertainment, and of course it also involves the setting of many characters. But it will look more interesting if you can remember the names of the characters in the novel ~
Then, the pseudo-popular science began.
Mountain Fire is the author's collection of short stories. As for why it is called Mountain Fire, it is because the author's first novel is called Mountain Fire. Because of the author's attempt, the types of novels in the anthology are changeable, and there is almost no so-called happy ending. Most of the contents are independent chapters, and several articles are related to Memory of Death, which is an extension and supplement to the main text.
Lord of the Flies
There are three characters in Lord of the flies. One is "Zhi Nai", a deviant demon with unfathomable strength. His name is actually a spelling bee. The interpretation of "Article" is as follows:
It can be considered as a "bug". And "insect"+"squid" = "fly" just echoes the title of the article. The symbol of "flying" is the embodiment of "Beelzebub", the prime minister of hell and the devil king in western legends and evil studies. The name itself implies that Zhi is a powerful demon.
Beelzebub is a very powerful demon and is regarded as a symbol of the evil of gluttony in the seven deadly sins. Its most well-known image is a giant fly. Therefore, Beelzebub is also called "the king of flies". This is in the New Testament. In the Gospel of Luke, it is mentioned that Christ helped a deaf-mute possessed by demons to exorcise ghosts, but he was accused: "This man only relies on Beelzebub, the ghost king!" " "
In addition, the British writer william golding published a novel called Lord of the Flies in 1954, which tells the story of a group of children killing each other on a desert island after the plane crash. This work became his masterpiece, exposing the barbarity and darkness hidden in human nature, and enjoyed a high reputation in the literary world. Why this story is called Lord of the Flies is more or less inspired by this.
The other is two abandoned dreams, Basil and Melissa. These two English names are both plant names.
Basil, that is, basil, is an aromatic medicinal and edible plant. It tastes like fennel. The whole plant is small, with green leaves, bright colors and fragrance.
Melissa is a kind of bee flower and a kind of vanilla.
Stone angel (1)
In "Stone Angel", it is the first appearance of tea and rain, although the story takes place in the middle and late period of the main line on the timeline.
Tea is the heroine of the main line. The name comes from flowers, also known as tea, Buddha smiles. There is a saying that flowers are actually flowers on the other side. At the end of the flower season, tea blooms, representing the end of the flower season of the year. The name Diancha also sounds like "lost", which symbolizes her constant wandering in the process of being lost and looking for it. Set the name of China Tea as just a code name. There are many branches in the organization, and the members of each branch have a specific code name. The code name of the tea department is the name of the plant, the butterfly waiter is related to insects, and Pandora is mostly the name of dessert. However, this setting is likely to be abandoned.
Yan's name is simple and rude. It is the name of a musical instrument, one of the oldest musical instruments. In addition, there are three other people with similar identities. Their names are also musical instruments, namely "Duo, Sheng and Se", although they will not appear yet. I didn't know what was going on at that time, so I decided to give him this name, as if I had picked it up casually. These two roles will not be introduced later.
sea monster
This article is my most satisfactory one. High degree of completion. One of the protagonists is a girl named "Haixi".
Hercynian does exist in reality, which is a kind of Sargassum family and can be used as medicine for health care. But it's not as terrible as the story, although Sargassum is fast.
As for the bodies of sea monsters on the beach, they have appeared many times in reality and have been reported on the Internet. Most of them can be basically determined to be the rotting remains of whales, basking sharks or king squid after death. But there are still a few people who can't confirm their identity.
rescue
The inspiration is to see the related reports of dead fishermen on the Yellow River. The girl next to the old man downstream is called "Shuiwei", which is also a spelling bee. Together, it is "drowning", suggesting that she is the soul of a drowning girl.
Because there are many roles in this paper, the author changes the original introduction method and divides the characters into organizations, so I won't repeat the previous chapters.
I. New Town Church
In the church in the new town, I met a pair of (fallen) angel sisters and their supervisor.
The sisters' surname is anarchy, which means "disorder". It implies that they belong to the "chaotic good" camp, that is, they only do what they think is right, completely ignore the rules and systems, and can do whatever it takes to achieve "good". This is like trying to complete the "just act" of catching fugitives, but completely ignoring the lives of hostages.
My sister's name is Pandoro anarchism, and Pandoro is a kind of golden cake. It is a specialty of Verona, a small town in northern Italy. Due to mass production in factories, it can be seen all over Italy during Christmas. To make Pandora, you must use a special baking mold. The surface of the baked product is star-shaped and dotted with powdered sugar, just like a snow-covered Christmas tree.
And my sister's name is Sacher Anarchy, and Sacher is Sachertorte, which is a unique chocolate cake of Sach Hotel in Vienna. The cake consists of two layers of sweet chocolate and apricot jam sandwiched between the two layers of chocolate, and there are chocolate chips on the cake. It is a national treasure dessert representing Austria.
And the guardian of angels and sisters, the lovely and proud little Lori Castela (カステラ; Castella) is also a kind of cake name. This is a kind of cake that originated in the Netherlands and is now popular in Japan, also called Nagasaki cake.
Two. organization
Although the organization rules the old city, its power is still very strong, and it is superior to the church in setting. "Kui", the director of the energy department of the agency, became the actual agent of the agency, and his behavior and decision-making basically reflected the will of the agency's superiors.
When I visited the energy factory of the organization, I met an officially designated couple in the library, but they didn't get together in the end. My brother's name is "Frost Sang" and my sister's name is "Evening Fog".
Like her sister "Lianwu", the Western Regions all have the word "fog" in their names. In fact, there are great differences between these two plants. Sister is a flower, and sister is a fruit. The author only uses these two names because they both have "fog". It sucks.
Evening mist, also known as throat flower and throat herb, is a perennial herb of Campanulaceae, native to the Mediterranean region. The colors are very bright, mostly purple and blue. Flower language is: warm thoughts, infatuation. It really conforms to the attitude of the evening mist towards frost mulberry and love. And the name has nothing to do with the story of Genji. Suddenly found that it also has this habit of naming people.
Then, I'd like to introduce Wu Lian, Wu's sister, by the way. Although she is not an employee of the organization so far, who knows what will happen in the future.
Lianwu, also known as Pu Tao, a tree of Myrtaceae, is also a fruit of the South. It is said that the faint sweetness after eating has an apple-like fragrance, and the teeth and cheeks remain fragrant after eating. Although I have seen it before, I have never tasted it.
Then Frostsang, originally belonging to other departments, was later transferred to the department where Xi Wu was located by Yue Lao. Somehow, he and Xi Wu fell in love, but for some reason, they could not become lovers.
Frosted mulberry is actually a "frosted mulberry leaf", not a transliteration of "frost". Mulberry leaves with old leaves picked after first frost, late autumn and first frost in winter are frost mulberry. And blind Chinese medicine. After drying, you can not only use it as medicine, but also make tea.
Director of R&D Department, Cicada left an indelible psychological shadow on ordering tea. With the support of the organization, this little girl who seems to have multiple personalities has been doing some research, and there are still many mysteries about her.
Cicada, commonly known as "Cordyceps sinensis", is the same as Cordyceps sinensis. Its formation process is that cicada larvae are infected and parasitized by Cordyceps sinensis before emergence, and when the climate and environment are suitable, they absorb the nutrients of the worms and transform them into mycelium, and finally the worms are completely occupied by mycelium, leaving only one body. The name itself implies "being parasitized by something, and finally the host is replaced."
Iii. tea party
The Tea Party is a huge organization active in the whole old and new cities. In addition to senior cadres, there are many members whose roles cover all social strata, from shopkeepers, sanitation workers to white-collar workers, and even people from churches and institutions.
The English name of the tea party is also a pun, homophonic game, "society"+"tea" = society.
There is also a so-called "Tea Party" in reality, which is called "tea party" in English. The origin of this tea party can be traced back to the Boston Tea Party incident in 1773 12 16, when the rebels were called "Boston Tea Party". Since then, the tea party has become synonymous with revolution. As for why it is called the "tea party", there is another saying that people remember it because of the high tax policy of the British colonial authorities, and "tea" is the abbreviation of "enough tax"
Therefore, the tea party in the story is an organization engaged in underground activities for a long time, with a rebellious color. Has a very strong intelligence network and personal connections, but temporarily fell into a downturn after the death of the party leader. In addition, in order to match the name, the senior members of the tea party use the name of tea as the code name, and some members also have the habit of drinking tea and having tea parties.
Bai Hao, the daughter of the party leader, is now the acting party leader. After his father died, in order to stabilize the army, he inherited the position of party leader. The name is taken from "Baihao Yinzhen", a kind of white tea, which is known as "beauty" and "tea king" in tea. Its appearance is as straight as a needle, covered with white hair and as silver as snow. In line with Bai Hao's position in the Tea Party.
As the raw materials of fresh leaves are all tea buds, the finished tea is made of white silver needles, which are shaped like needles, densely covered with Bai Hao and as white as silver, hence the name "white silver needles".
Que Tongue, one of Bai Hao's loyal subordinates, is a man with a baby face, good at infiltration and generous in appearance. Sometimes he talks like a bird, so the name can also be used to ridicule his glib tongue.
Queque tea is named because it looks like Queque. Superior green tea, with unique and rich aroma, is a superior bud tea baked with tender buds.
Cao kui, a member who recently joined the Tea Party but came from behind, is proficient in firearms and fighting techniques, and is a veteran with rich experience. He often carries out various assassination plans and has great power. In addition, this uncle was originally a character in another work of the author, whose real name was Braque, and he was an acquaintance with the teenager in The Sea Monster, and they often traveled together. But the story about them is another story.
The name "Caokui" is taken from "Ruicaokui", which is produced in Yashan Mountain in southern Anhui, also known as Yashan Tea, and is a famous tea in history. Tea is one of the Swiss grasses, which became the king of Swiss grasses in ancient times.
Mei Zhan, a senior cadre of the tea party, is a rare woman in this class and is also called "the most terrible person of the tea party" by Que. One of his identities is the network anchor, who has a large number of fans on the Internet and has the power to give orders and even guide public opinion. Responsible for creating rumors during the tea party action, controlling public opinion and making things develop in favor of the tea party. Under the protection of a large group of crazy brainless fans, as long as there are voices against her, this group of guards will take action to bring down the other side by publishing information, extortion, framing and planting, so as to maintain the status of Mei Zhan.
Plum tea is one of the six famous teas in Anxi. Cloned varieties. It can be made into oolong tea, with dark red in brown-green color, bright red spots, yellow or orange soup color and strong taste. White tea, black tea and green tea can also be processed.
The name of Mei Zhan Tea is taken from the first sentence of Mei Zhan Bai Huakui. The high-quality Mei Zhan said that the infiltration of lips and throat really has a special plum flavor or plum flavor.
"Tian Jian" is an intelligence collector in the Tea Party and a computer genius. You can easily hack into the computer system you need and steal the information the tea party needs. I am shy and have an autistic personality. I seldom communicate with others except with the horse show.
Tian Jian is a kind of high-grade black tea, which has been very precious since ancient times. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was listed as a royal tribute for the exclusive use of the royal family. Hunan Anhua black tea, as a specialty of Hunan Anhua, is known as the "five tips" in history: "Tian Jian, fried raw, Gong Jian, fried ground and fried gold" belong to Tian Jian black tea with the highest status and grade.
In addition to the main plot, there is Jiu Si, which currently includes three stories: fat disorder, new death and fat swelling, which happened after the end of the main plot.
The theme of this series of stories is "death". The so-called "nine thoughts" (also known as nine phases) corresponds to the "nine thoughts view" of Buddhism in reality. Buddhism purifies the mind with the concept of nine thoughts in order to cut off the greed and lust of practitioners for the body. The so-called "nine thoughts" is actually to imagine nine processes in which a corpse decays to its bones after death. The object of description is often beautiful women, which fully embodies the Buddhist idea that "heroes and beautiful women will eventually become dust" The author quotes the Japanese version of Jiu Si, and it is a ukiyo-e "nine-phase diagram". The nine ideas of this version are: new death, fat swelling, blood smearing, fat disorder, eating, bruise, bone grafting, bone scattering and grave. In order to avoid repetition, we changed "fat disorder" to "fat disorder" and "bone healing" to "marrow healing" without authorization. Therefore, the name of each idea became the title of that story.
In the story, the author turns these "death processes" into monsters, which more directly reflects the theme of death. So this is a story about nine monsters related to death. ...
In the design, Jiu Si is assumed to be human, but he is detached from death because of his strong obsession with death, and his appearance is no longer the same as human. These obsessions are also reflected in the text. Fat chaos accompanied the dead girl in the basement, waiting for her to wake up in the endless "waiting"; In order to continue to "live", the new god of death keeps occupying other people's bodies with daggers to maintain the feeling of being alive.
Every story in Jiu Si is independent and interrelated. With the appearance of the other seven thoughts, the context will gradually become clear.
