Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 224 Liaozhai Zhiyi
After accepting this very generous amount of literary reputation, Shen Yuelou continued to work hard and began to think seriously about uploading a second novel on Huaxia Chinese Network.

At this time, eight months have passed since the "Fengshen Yanyi" written by him as "Master Zhuiyuxuan" was completed.

During these eight months, Yu Miaojin, the editor of Huaxia Chinese.com, has been urging the manuscript persistently, but because of his busy work, it has not taken shape.

Now, it's time to go on and write a new book.

But, which one should I write?

"Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions" are still too early, why don't we try "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" for Chinese readers?

"Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", commonly known as "The Legend of the Ghost Fox", is a collection of short stories written by Pu Songling, a famous novelist in the Qing Dynasty.

The book has a total of 491 short stories, with a wide range of themes, rich content and high artistic achievements.

The works have successfully shaped many artistic models, such as Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen, Ying Ning, Xin Shishiniang and so on.

The characters are vivid and vivid, the story plot is twists and turns, the structure layout is rigorous and ingenious, the writing style is concise, and the description is delicate, which can be called the pinnacle of classical classical Chinese short stories on the earth.

Publish this novel, and the copyright of related film and television works can be sold for a large sum of money.

Even if you don't sell it to others, it's still very good to make it into a film and television drama yourself.

After figuring this out, Shen Yuelou immediately began to translate, turning "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" into a vernacular novel.

……

Zeng Xueliang is a well-known local tyrant reader on Huaxia Chinese Online. He is also an avid book fan of "The Master of Zhui Yuxuan" and "Fengshen Yanyi".

After "Feng Shen Yan Yi" finished, he has been looking forward to the next work of "Master Zhui Yuxuan".

It's just that after waiting for more than eight months, there is still no arrival, not even a message.

He thought that "Master Zhuiyuxuan" had already retired from the circle.

For this, he felt very sorry, but there was nothing he could do.

That night, Zeng Xueliang reviewed the plot of "Fengshen Yanyi" as usual, and suddenly saw a huge banner appearing on the top of the page.

Huh?The whole site is blocked and tweeted, this is the treatment that top masters only get when they publish new books.

"Heavy announcement, the latest masterpiece of "Ziyuxuan Master" is online.

After conferring the gods in a book, "Master Zhuiyuxuan" began to talk about ghosts.

"Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" is a supernatural novel that far surpasses "Chronicle of the City of Yin and Yang in vain". "

What the hell!What the hell!What the hell!

"Master Zhuiyuxuan" finally released a new book.

"Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio"?
Supernatural novels are my favorite.

Is it better than "The Chronicle of the Dead City of Yin and Yang"?

That's for sure, where is the level of Zhui Yuxuan's master!

Clicking on the text of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", Zeng Xueliang immediately saw the first story of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" - "The Dead".

"There is an old man in Yangxin County who is from Caidian.

The village is five or six miles away from the county seat, and the father and son opened a shop on the side of the road to let passing tourists stay.

There are several coachmen who haul things back and forth and always live with him.

One evening, four people came together and stopped when they saw the hotel, but the old man's shop was full.

The four of them thought they had no other place to go, so they insisted on asking to stay.

The old man thought for a while and thought of a place, but he was afraid that the guests would not be satisfied.

The guest said: "As long as there is a place with tiles, how dare you pick it?"

At that time, the old man's daughter-in-law had just died, so they parked the body in the house, and the son went out to buy a coffin and hadn't returned yet.

The old man thought the house where the coffin was placed was quiet, so he led the guests across the street.

......"

Zeng Xueliang felt very excited when he saw the female corpse inhaling Yang Qi, chasing the coachman, and then hanging on the tree like a zombie.

This kind of text with a touch of narration is so comfortable to read, it doesn't look like reading a novel, it seems like a bystander is telling a supernatural story he has experienced.

It's so touching, it's a bit scary to be scary, but it's really beautiful. I don't know if there are more exciting things in the future.

Continuing to read, "Painted Wall", "Tao Chenghuang", "Tongyu of Pupils" and so on are all about novelty hunting, not too scary.

Seeing the chapter "Bite Ghost", Zeng Xueliang was a little excited, but he didn't reach the high point until he watched "Painted Skin".

"Wang Sheng from Taiyuan went out early one morning, and met a girl on the road, and saw her walking alone with a heavy burden, and it was very difficult for her to walk.

Wang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and found that it was a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, so he couldn't help but fall in love with her.

Seeing no one around, Wang Sheng asked, "Why are you traveling alone so early?"

The girl replied: "People passing by can't relieve my worries, so why ask more questions."

Wang Sheng went on to say, "What are your worries? If you need my help, I will never refuse."

……

Not long after, Wang Sheng returned to the front door of his academy, but the door was closed and he couldn't get in.

At this time, Wang Sheng became suspicious, so he climbed over the wall and went in. Seeing that the door was also tightly closed, he quietly walked to the window and looked in. He saw a green-faced evil ghost with long teeth like saws. Zhang put the human skin on the bed, and then took a colored pen to draw on the human skin. After painting, he threw away the brush, lifted the human skin, shook it like shaking clothes, and then put it on his body, dressing up as a beautiful woman.

Witnessing these scenes, Wang Sheng's soul was frightened, and he got up from the ground like an animal..."

Seeing this, Zeng Xueliang substituted what Wang Sheng saw, and goose bumps immediately covered his whole body.

What the hell!

The evil spirit takes off the human skin and paints it, and then wears it to become a beautiful woman. It also eats people's hearts, which is too exciting.

Although Zeng Xueliang was terrified, he felt a different kind of refreshment in his heart.

I am addicted to vegetables, oh, no, my courage is not bad, but "Painted Skin" is too exciting.

After reading the ten stories just updated in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", Zeng Xueliang immediately read the comments below the new book.

"It's too scary, this book is not for me, slip away."

"I really like this novel. It's thrilling and mysterious, full of strange fun. I look forward to more exciting stories in the future."

"It's a pity that it's a short story. It's still like "Ancient Mythology Illustrated", one story after another. It would be great if it was a complete novel like "Fengshen Yanyi"."

"It's good to read some. There is no news for eight months, and even the comics are not updated. I thought the author had made enough money and stopped working!"

……

Updating "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" on Huaxia Chinese Online was just Shen Yuelou's idle game, and he didn't put much effort into it.

Within two days, he rushed to Manchuria to continue filming "The Last Emperor".

The filming of the film went much smoother than expected, and during the filming process, the friendship between Shen Yuelou and Ichiro Sakamoto became increasingly rich.

When Shen Yuelou felt that his friendship was in place, he asked Sakamoto Ichiro to help him with one thing—an invitation from Yingzhou to invite Shen Yuelou to lead a group to perform in Yingzhou.
