I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

Some people also say that Lu Yi was originally a demon from hell or some other ghost place, in order to spread those indescribable horror stories, so that people in the whole world will be spiritually polluted.

Others say that Lu Jian is here to destroy the world. The more people watch his movies, the stronger the monsters will be. Once you believe it is true, those monsters will come out to hurt you!

Anyway, in the occult chat group, Lu Jian has become a big devil.

Cao Manwen didn't think so.

Seeing Lu Jian's appearance, and his attitude towards Professor Hu, the blind old man, Cao Manwen is willing to believe that Lu Jian is the guardian who hides in the shadows and protects the world.

And these nine streams are obviously the stories of those old people who defended their homes and the country in times of war.

The main reason is that Cao Manwen feels that Lu Juan has such powerful superpowers, and there is no need to use this method to hurt other people.

He makes enough movies to hurt people.

In fact, this is the case. When I was in the Department of Archeology, the instructor asked me to receive Lu Yi, saying that it was to collect materials.

Cao Manwen explained his experience to Tao Hongying.

The two chatted for a long time, and they also diverged to some supernatural events that Tao Hongying encountered, as well as Cao Manwen's archaeological excavation.

He found that the girl listened to him talking about excavating ancient tombs, tidying up the tomb, exploring the tomb and so on with great interest.

In the past, Cao Manwen met a girl who was going on a blind date for him. When he heard about Cao Manwen's major and work, he frowned and said nothing speculatively.

This made Cao Manwen suddenly a little excited.

Of course, he calmed down quickly, and before looking through the photos of this female classmate, he thought that she might just be interested in some ancient tomb legends and curses, and he just happened to bump into it.

Are you still in Yannan?I am also working here now, I think we have a chance to come out and meet each other!

Tao Hongying invited.

"Am I being dated?"

Cao Manwen was trembling a little, but at the same time warned himself, she just used you as a tool, and responded a few words.

The two made an appointment to meet near Yannan University on the weekend, chat about Lu Jian, and take her to visit the Department of Archeology.

On this day, Cao Manwen tidied himself up a bit, and sat waiting for him in the milk tea shop near the school gate.

By the way, Cao Manwen did look for a photo of the other party later, and his impression was similar, with braids, glasses, and nothing special.

During the waiting time, Cao Manwen opened the reading software and continued to read the novel he had turned to earlier.

After reading two chapters, he saw a girl walking towards him.

Her hair was slightly curly, dyed a flaxen color, she could see that she had put on makeup, and she was dressed in a fashionable and beautiful manner, just like the kind of beauties who often see on the streets of Yannan who keep turning heads.

If Cao Manwen hadn't seen the photo before and had a certain impression, he probably wouldn't have recognized it.

It's not that the female college student has changed at eighteen, it's just a complete transformation.

"Cao Manwen? You haven't changed at all."

Tao Hongying looked at Cao Manwen in surprise.

"Sorry, you have been waiting for a long time."

She sat opposite Cao Manwen.

"Not really, you came after just reading two chapters of the novel."

Cao Manwen showed the other party his mobile phone.

"What novel are you reading?"

Tao Hongying asked curiously.

"It's just to pass the time. I was asked to create the myth of the old rulers. It's okay."

Cao Manwen replied.

"I'm reading it too. The novel is not bad, but the author's updates are too slow. I can't wait to lock him in a small dark room and write fifty chapters a day."

Tao Hongying discussed the content of the novel with Cao Manwen again, which made Cao Manwen a little thankful that he had read the book before and had a common topic.

While chatting, the two of them turned to the topic of Lu Jian again.

"Do you think Jiuliu's story is true?"

Tao Hongying asked.

"I don't know, but I've seen the people inside."

Cao Manwen took a sip of milk tea.

"The paper cutter inside seems to have been setting up a stall in Panjiayuan since decades ago, and he hasn't aged after decades."

"Really?"

Tao Hongying opened her eyes wide, looking at Cao Manwen like a curious baby, making him look away.

"Can you take me to see it?"

"That's fine, but don't you want to visit the Department of Archeology today?"

Cao Manwen scratched his head.

"The Department of Archeology is here, and we can visit it next time, but maybe the old man packed up his things and ran away after seeing the trailer of Jiuliu. We'd better go today!"

She is in high spirits.

Cao Manwen thought it was right, he hadn't been to Panjiayuan since then, maybe it was because he thought it would overturn his world view, or maybe he just selectively forgot, this time was just right, so go and ask carefully.

He drove to Panjiayuan with his old classmates, but when he got here, Cao Manwen discovered that this antique market, which was not originally a bustling market, was full of people on the third floor and the third floor at the moment!

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===588. Paper Butterfly===

The small antique market was the most crowded before, except for some exhibitions, that is, the few days when the TV series about antique tomb robbery started broadcasting.

The properties in the antique market have never seen this kind of battle, holding batons that have not been used in 800 years to maintain order.

"Fuck, what's going on, why are there so many people here all of a sudden, did anyone find any treasure?"

Master Security Wang came over and squeezed into the crowd.

He saw that in the place where the crowd gathered most was an old man.

This old man, Master Wang, remembers that his surname is Zhang, and everyone usually calls him Blind Zhang in private.

Ever since Master Wang started working as a security guard in this antique market, this old man has been setting up a stall here for several years.

Master Wang doesn't know how long the old man has been there, but there are a lot of old people in the antique market. Don't look at those people with white hair, they are much smarter than young people when dealing with antiques. He is cunning, and this blind old man usually just sits here so quietly and doesn't cause any trouble. He doesn't seem to have any disputes, so Master Wang naturally doesn't pay much attention.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the central figure this time.

Could it be that he was caught selling fake goods?

Should not be ah.

Although Master Wang is just a property security guard, but in the antique market, buying and selling is your choice. If you have bad eyesight and buy a defective product, you are responsible for it yourself. There is no reason to ask the seller to return it. In the same way, if you have missed your eyes and been missed by a wise person, you have nowhere to sue.

Master Wang came to the old man by relying on his security uniform.

I saw that the old man was holding a pair of iron scissors. Master Wang only saw this kind of scissors in the homes of the elders in his hometown. They were very simple and heavy scissors, not the small and delicate plastic handles that people use now. type.

But it was the scissors, which were a bit large in size, that cut out the red paper deftly, and cut out several complex-shaped butterflies in a blink of an eye.

"Good workmanship."

Master Wang couldn't help but praise. In his hometown, every Spring Festival, the old people in the village would use scissors to cut out those beautiful window grilles, stick them on the windows, and match them with firecrackers, which is full of New Year flavor.

Now it is forbidden to set off fireworks and firecrackers, and there are no bright red grilles on the windows. The Chinese New Year is deserted, and it is no different from the usual holidays.

Just when Master Wang lost his mind recalling the past, he saw that lifelike butterfly actually flapped its wings and flew up.

"Fuck???"

Master Wang and the people around him exclaimed in amazement.

Accompanied by the exclamation of the crowd, the butterflies that had been cut out suddenly flew up.

For a time, the sky was full of paper butterflies.

Master Wang opened his mouth wide, he has never seen such an outrageous situation in his life.

This is obviously made of paper-cut, how can it become a real butterfly?

The butterflies scattered towards the outside of the market, and soon disappeared into the sky. Only then did people think of looking for the old man.

However, when Master Wang looked at the place where the old man had set up his stall, he found that the old man with white hair had disappeared at some point.

On the chair he was sitting on, there was only one lifelike paper figurine, quietly placed on the chair.

Nine Streams once became the most discussed movie in China.

Except for Panjiayuan, where people don't know whether it is magic or real supernatural powers, people are more concerned about what kind of world this movie will present.

As we all know, from the story point of view, Lu Juan's movies are quite distinct, telling stories about the interrelatedness of several different worlds.

On the official website of the Silence Project, several worlds have some simple instructions and information.

There are also some viewers who like to study the background of Lu Yi’s story very much, and are very interested in those wonderful foreign lands. Through guessing and perfecting the descriptions of these foreign lands in the movie, they summed up many hidden stories behind the scenes.

These people also call themselves "Lu scholars", and they have the research energy of those scholars who studied the Dream of Red Mansions back then.

The most common sentence in the "Lu Scholar" group is "Lu Yi is a filmmaker, he knows a fart of foreign land".

The world involved in Jiuliu is by far the closest to reality and the most mysterious.

Because most of the other worlds that appear in Lu Yi’s movies have a name, such as Hejima, Wasteland, Kingdom of the Night, etc. These worlds will revolve around some events, or set as the core to unfold the story, just like Hejima’s Kamizakura And the officiant priestess, the magic tide of the kingdom of night, the swarm of wilderness, etc.

But there is only crying, the world of Jiuliu, without a specific name, and there is no special core setting.

These stories are just like those early adventures and supernatural videos of Lu Jian, which seem to happen around people, which is frightening.

And Jiuliu, which depicts the war-torn era decades ago, also involves elements of supernatural beings, giving "Lu scholars" a lot of content to be verified.

In a certain "Lu Scholar" group, the chat messages continued after the trailer was released, and it stopped in the early morning.

Even so, some night owls who don't sleep will suddenly send a message at three o'clock in the middle of the night, completely overturning the content they interpreted during the day, leaving a long string of words and then going to sleep satisfied.
