Chapter 5 "Fengshen" released

Laying paper, grinding ink, lifting the pen, everything was so smooth, and then... Li Ling was stunned at the table. It was not until this time that he realized that he had not yet thought about writing or copying novels. This was really a bit embarrassing. When Li Yue'er saw him making such arrangements after returning home, she was full of hope and watched with her eyes shining. Then she saw her brother just stunned, and she didn't leave any trace for a while.

In fact, it’s not that Li Ling can’t think of the content of the novel. On the contrary, he thought too much. After all, it was time-traveled from that era of information explosion. He had read many novels, films and TV series before, and there were always hundreds of them, and most of them were high-quality works, at least for people in this era.

But the problem is that it is not easy to ask him to pick one and copy it out now. One is the limitation of the times and aesthetics. After all, the three views of the ancients and people hundreds of years later were completely different, and there were many taboos. Once something really made a mistake, it would be fine if he couldn't publish a book, but it would be over if he involved himself.

It was not until the two were really about to start writing that Li Ling was sadly aware that there was a huge difference between writing novels and doing accounts, which was very different from writing advertising slogans. Those memory plots could not even come out of the tip of the pen as imagined. As the saying goes, there are thousands of words in your heart, but there is no word in your writing.

Li Yue'er, who was waiting for a while, could not see Li Ling's next move and could not help but ask in a low voice: "Brother, what are you going to write?"

"Well... I want to try to write a novel in a story book. I've heard that once I write a novel that is recognized, my income will be quite good." Li Ling answered casually, his mind still turning, thinking about what he should write to the most appropriate one.

I heard from the boss that readers in Hengzhou Prefecture are now very interested in novels that seek immortality and ask for Taoism. Can you write a novel of this style? "The Journey of Ethereal"? "Zhu Xian"?... After thinking about a few popular immortal arts online articles in later generations, Li Ling immediately gave them to PASS. He has read all these books, which are indeed wonderful, but the problem is that it is too long, and after a long time, he really can't remember the content.

However, Li Ling, the novels of those talented and beautiful women who have been despised, have read a few books in the bookstore during these days, thinking that he could write one, but this thing would not be favored by Boss Gu and others.

It needs classic, deep impression, and can also be able to agree with the aesthetic habits of the ancients... These requirements are combined, but the choices are actually not so wide. Li Ling is not a senior book fan, so he naturally feels more embarrassed. After careful thinking, an idea finally emerged: "Yes, I can try to write classical classics!" If you think about it carefully, novels such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin" have not yet been seen.

But then the question came again. Although these classics are good, Li Ling read them a few times in junior high school, and later he was placed on the bookshelf and never flipped. Now, the general plot may be remembered, but it is still difficult to copy them. If it is rewritten, he asked himself that he did not have the ability to do this. Of course, the more important thing is that there are taboo contents in Water Margin Journey to the West, and it has been banned several times. Li Ling really doesn't want to take this risk.

"Seeking immortals and asking for the way, cultivating immortals, immortals... classical novels..." After Li Ling put together the relevant keywords and searched hard, a name suddenly appeared in his mind - "The Investiture of the Gods", which is "The Romance of the Gods"!

As a post-90s generation, Li Ling also watched the classic TV series that wore Roman Greek-style clothing to tell ancient Chinese mythology. Even now, he can still report some of the names of the main characters. This alone shows the charm of this work.

But at the same time, Li Ling, who has read the original work, has to say that Xu Zhonglin's novel is more than one level worse than other novels in terms of the plot and character creation. But this book also has its own strength, that is, the entire framework worldview is built extremely well, so that people can enter the story in an instant. What is the Jie Sect, the Battle of the Gods, and the King of Wu's defeat of King Zhou... are all top-level setting concepts, and even now he can still retell the storyline.

Obviously, "The Romance of the Gods" is not a novel characterized by writing skills, and it is quite compatible with the newcomer Li Ling. Moreover, this story is mostly a battle between gods and immortals, and the highlights are obviously much better than asking for immortals and asking for the Tao. Your immortal cultivation articles are thinking about how to work hard to become immortals. I am a battle between various great gods and golden immortals, and the pattern is naturally higher than one level.

At this time, Yue'er's voice sounded again: "Why don't you write it yet? If you really write it, will we have fried dough sticks every day?"

Li Ling smiled and touched the girl's hair with her hands: "Yes, not only fried dough sticks, but also more delicious food. Just watch it obediently, don't disturb me."

"Yeah!" Li Yue'er nodded vigorously and closed her mouth tightly. Her eyes continued to stare at the paper in front of Li Ling with curiosity, waiting for him to write a novel that could be sold well. In the little girl's heart, her brother was omnipotent and could do anything easily.

At this time, Li Ling had no intention of taking into account his sister's thoughts. As his wrists shook, a neat little fly head appeared on the paper: "But billions of years ago, the world was not divided, and it was chaos. A giant was born in a day. "In order to write the Conquest of Gods, then start with the creation of the world and put all the Chinese legends and myths into a book. In addition, he understood some of his understandings about ancient myths from later generations. I believe that the connotation of this book "The Conquest of Gods" should be stronger than the original one.

In the next few days, whenever Li Ling had time, he would write and write novels at home or in a bookstore. The content of this new version of "The Romance of the Gods" also began to increase continuously, from Pangu to the creation of the world, to Nuwa creating humans; from Fuxi's deduction of the gossip, to the battle between Emperor Chiyou, and then the ups and downs of Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties.

It was not until three chapters that it was about the main topic, and it entered the plot where King Zhou lost his way and Nuwa sent the nine-tailed fox to confuse him. If it were later, novels that only talked about the world view structure would naturally face a frustration, but in the current slow-paced era, there would be no such concerns.

At least when Li Ling gave Li Yue'er the first few chapters she wrote, she was fascinated by reading them, and she kept shouting that she had never seen such a grand, interesting and vivid mythological story. Only from her expression, Li Ling could tell that Li Yue'er was not praised because of the relationship between the two parties. She was really obsessed with this novel.

This greatly increased Li Ling's confidence. He spent a few days writing the first ten chapters until King Zhou was bewitched by Daji and acted against the enemy, forcing the queen to death, and forcing his two sons to leave. At the same time, the important figure Jiang Ziya was ordered by his master to go down the mountain. More than 100,000 words were counted as a volume.

In a sense, after removing the poems in the original book, the progress of this new Conquest of the Gods and the old Conquest of the Gods is almost the same. However, according to Li Ling's idea, the next second volume of the story will be much slower than the original book. He has to create several protagonists, such as Nezha, Wen Zhong and Taishi of Wen, so as to make the whole book more valuable.

As he kept writing books and running a bookstore, April was over and early May was about to pass completely, and the weather was getting hotter. That afternoon, while there were no customers in the bookstore, Li Ling took the manuscript and came to Gujia Bookstore again, hoping that Gu Yuezi would take a look.

The old shopkeeper of the bookstore was still the receptionist, and he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Li is really doing a prosperous business. He sold all the books in less than half a month? I wonder what books do you want to get back this time?"

"The shopkeeper has a misunderstanding. I came here today not to buy books, but to have another deal to talk to Boss Gu."

"Oh? But what kind of transaction is it?"

"Publishing a book. I heard that a bookstore bought new books from people at a high price, so I wrote a novel these days, but I don't know if I could help Boss Gu to help me pass it through and correct it." As he spoke, Li Ling put the package he carried with him in front of the other party, and when he untied it, he revealed a thick stack of manuscripts inside.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised: "It was Mr. Li who had this idea after that time, and then he wrote so many of them?"

"That's right, is there any problem?" Li Ling said in confusion. In his opinion, it is not too difficult to write 100,000 words in more than half a month. After all, those Internet writers who are very good at going up 10,000 per day is like drinking soup.

Outside the store, maybe it was a big wind that made me look fascinated. A passerby covered his face with wide sleeves and passed by the bookstore quickly...

The shopkeeper's expression became more and more strange, and he couldn't tell Li Ling straight. Those who wrote books for the bookstore usually only wrote a novel of about 100,000 words in March. It would be very unappreciative for you to write a volume of one volume so quickly. You could only cough and say, "Since that's the case, please go to the backyard to discuss it in detail. My master is inside."

In the hall behind, Li Ling met Gu Yuezi again. When the latter knew his purpose this time, he was a little surprised, but he still responded politely: "Since it is Mr. Li's masterpiece, I am really interested in viewing it, and I will definitely not disappoint me."

Of course, only he knew this. In Gu Yuezi, Li Ling was young and had some business acumen, but his knowledge was not enough. Moreover, the book was written in a hurry, so naturally it would not be better. So before he could read the above content carefully, he began to think in his mind how to politely reject Li Ling's submission later, so he did not hurt both sides' feelings.
