I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"Ugh!"

As soon as Lanruo Temple and Montenegro were mentioned, Nie Hongshu's mood suddenly became heavy.

In fact, before he took office, someone once told him that there are monsters and ghosts in Montenegro.

After arriving in Guobei County, he made a special trip to check the county annals and questioned many people, but the result was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

But one thing to be thankful for is that although Lanruo Temple and Heishan have a bad reputation, they have not spread to the county, and not many people die every year.

"However, adults don't need to worry too much. According to the students' knowledge, there is currently an expert sitting in the temple, and those demons and ghosts are not too arrogant."

Nie Hongshu's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "I wonder if the good son-in-law and that expert will be able to destroy the demons in the Black Mountain?"

"This is currently unlikely."

Gu Ming shook his head: "Last time I heard from Hero Yan that there are two demon kings in Montenegro, one is a thousand-year-old tree spirit, and the other is an old demon in Montenegro."

"Well, I've heard people mention it, but most of the legends are more suspenseful."

"It's not a legend, it's just that the tree spirit and the Black Mountain old demon are limited in their range of activities and cannot leave the Black Mountain. Otherwise, the entire Guobei County would have fallen long ago."

Hearing this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat.

Then he said: "My son-in-law, why don't we take some time to visit that hero Yan?"

"Well, that's fine!" Gu Ming nodded.

Weng and son-in-law chatted for a while before Gu Ming left.

This incident happened several miles outside the city, so by the afternoon, many people had heard about it.

All of a sudden, many people came to the study.

"I'll buy a copy of The West Chamber!"

"I want one thousand and one nights."

"As long as it is a book written by Mr. Gu, I will have a book."

In fact, many people who come to buy books are illiterate. They don't buy them for reading, but for peace of mind and to put them at home to ward off evil spirits.

This is not surprising, just as some people display Buddhist scriptures at home, it is a truth to display Taoist scriptures.

It's not necessarily for viewing, it's just for peace of mind.

Guobei County is not big at all, and Gu Ming's deeds of catching and expelling ghosts have long been spread, even three-year-old children know about it.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, he has become an out-and-out expert, master, and fairy elder.

In particular, the value of the autographed Du Shiniang and the first two batches of autographed books he sold at the beginning has doubled.

Some people even offered a high price of ten taels of silver to ask Gu Ming to copy Du Shiniang himself.

For this reason, He Yongliang even urged Gu Ming to sign and copy more, but Gu Ming flatly refused.

If you write too much, wouldn't you lose your worth?

On the shelf testimonials!

It is because of your support that Sanlang will continue to update.

Finally, I once again implore all book friends to make a first order in time! ! !

Chapter 87 Four Great Masterpieces

Before the new book was printed, shopkeeper Yu came to Guobei County again.

This time, I ordered [-] copies in one go.

Among them is Sanyan Erpai, which has not yet been printed in two thousand volumes: Words to warn the world.

Apparently, the market has opened up.

And this time, Shopkeeper Yu brought a guest over.

"Young Master Gu, I will introduce you, this is the most famous theater troupe leader in our Jinhua Mansion"

"I, Yan Changqing, have long admired Mr. Gu's name!"

Yan Changqing cupped his fists and saluted.

"It turned out to be Team Leader Yan, who has been admiring him for a long time!"

Gu Ming returned a salute with a smile.

Although this was a polite remark, he had indeed heard Gong Zheng mention Yan Changqing's name.

Gong Zheng said that the colleague he admired the most in his life was Yan Changqing.

He also said that Yan Changqing's surname was Zhang, and he was originally from a famous family in Jinhua Mansion. He liked opera since he was a child, but his family always hoped that he could enter an official career through studying.

Unexpectedly, I read a lot of books, but I have no intention of official career and am obsessed with opera.

In the end, he fell out with his family and was ruthlessly expelled from the Zhang family.

Although operas are quite popular, the status of opera actors is very low, and they are classified as low-ranking.

The Zhang family is a well-known family in Jinhua, so how can they tolerate an extra actor in the family?

After being expelled from the family, Yan Changqing joined a famous actor named Yan, and his surname followed Yan.

Being expelled from the family means that his surname is also deprived, and he cannot have a name without a surname.

Facts have proved that he does have a talent for singing.

In just two years, he became a famous actor in Jinhua Mansion.Not long after that, he married the daughter of a theatrical troupe master.

After the death of the old troupe owner, he took over the troupe, and in less than three years, he made it the most famous and most popular troupe in Jinhua Prefecture.

"Hehe, Mr. Gu, Mr. Yan really likes to read your novel "The Story of the West Chamber."

"Yes, in the next word Yipin, I read it several times, and the more I read it, the more I like it.

Moreover, I also heard that your palace troupe leader in Guobei County made up a play out of the stories you wrote."

"Du Shiniang." Gu Ming answered with a smile.

Yan Changqing nodded, "Yes, I have also read this picture book, it is really good, it is very suitable for making into an opera.

So I came here this time to inform Mr. Gu, and I plan to make an excerpt of The Story of the West Chamber.

And Du Shiniang's story also wants to make up a play, I wonder what Mr. Gu's opinion is? "

"It's not a matter of high opinions, I definitely support Yan Ban's main adaptation of operas.

However, it is necessary to indicate the source of the opera when promoting it at that time, because this involves a copyright issue.

The so-called copyright means that I am the creator of the story.”

Gu Ming gave a rough explanation, the meaning was not complicated, and Yan Changqing understood it immediately.

"Hehe, I can understand, after all, you wrote the book.

In fact, I heard this matter from colleagues. If the story is really exciting, it should pay some money. "

"Haha, it's good that class leader Yan can understand. However, I heard that class leader Gong mentioned about you before. To be honest, I really admire your persistence and perseverance.

Well, no matter which book you want to adapt, you only need a token support of one hundred for each book. "

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Yu couldn't help laughing heartily: "That's great, boss Yan, I told you on the way that Mr. Gu is a dragon and phoenix among people, and he is beyond comparison with ordinary people."

"That's it." Yan Changqing smiled back, then raised his hand to Gu Ming and said, "Then thank you, Young Master Gu."

"Team Master Yan, you're welcome. When I have a chance, I'll go to Jinhua Mansion to watch your opera "The Story of the West Chamber."

"Welcome Mr. Gu to give advice at any time"

After some courtesies, shopkeeper Yu talked about books again.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Gu, I have already found a sales channel in Gusu Mansion, and I may increase the sales in the next step.

If you can stock up on your side, prepare as much as possible. "

"That's great, I have to prepare more books for the shopkeeper Yu's words."

After the chat was almost over, shopkeeper Yu got up and said, "Tonight, I will be the host, and I invite all of you in Xingshuzhai to gather together."

"Treasurer Yu, since you came from a long way, I will be the host. How can there be any reason to let the guest be the host?"

"Young Master Gu, stop arguing with me, and let you be the host next time."

They gave way to each other, but in the end shopkeeper Yu insisted again and again, and invited everyone to go to Zuixianlou for a lively drink.

Back home that night, Gu Ming took a shower, then went back to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed, subconsciously clicked on the system mall interface.

Currently, he has 40 points that can be redeemed for merchandise.

Previously, when I got 50 points, I wanted to directly exchange them for Level 3 Skill Talismans.However, shopkeeper Yu's arrival today made him change his mind.

It's better to take advantage of the momentum and write another book.

So, click on the book to check it out.

After the level was raised to scholar, the number of books in the mall also increased.

Among them, four are the most special: A Dream of Red Mansions, Outlaws of the Marsh, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Journey to the West.

That's right, they are the four classic classics that are familiar to us in previous lives.

In fact, as far as the original works are concerned, these four books are still different from pure vernacular, and should be regarded as half vernacular and half vernacular.

In particular, A Dream of Red Mansions and Journey to the West are interspersed with a large number of poems and songs, which add a lot of color to the whole book.

Each of these four books requires 40 points to exchange, which is just enough to exchange for one book.

In addition, the system specifically stated that these four books have not been modified by the system, that is, the original books.

In this way, Gu Ming will have to spend a little time to modify it.

Speaking of which, the background of Liaozhai World and the historical background of Gu Ming's previous life have a lot in common.

There is almost no difference in the history of the contending of a hundred schools of thought, the one emperor Qin Shihuang through the ages, the struggle between Chu and Han, the struggle for hegemony among the Three Kingdoms, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The same goes for the Four Books and Five Classics that have been passed down.

But since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, we have turned a corner. There are overlaps in some major historical events or celebrities, but there are also differences.

The biggest difference is that there are almost no famous poems, nouns, and songs handed down from the previous life in the world of Liaozhai, which brings great convenience to Gu Ming.

Therefore, if these four masterpieces want to be rewritten, some changes still need to be made to fit the background of this world.

After much deliberation, Gu Ming thinks it is more appropriate to write a dream of Red Mansions.

This itself is an overhead story, with a little mythological element.

Needless to say, the plot is a classic among classics.

In short, Gu Ming believed that since this book could become a handed down work in the previous life, it must be able to do so in this world.

First rewrite it according to the style of the original work, and then publish a new version when there is a chance, so as to save some self-proclaimed scholars who are sloppy and nitpicking.

However, Dream of the Red Chamber has a relatively large number of words, a million or so, and it will take a long time to finish writing the whole book.
