Chapter 125 Two choices
"Lanruo Temple, Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, Yan Chixia are all familiar with people and things! This... this is really... I didn't expect that someone would do this, it's rare! It's rare!"
As Qiu Yun told him, Pu Songling could no longer sit still. As Qiu Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" told by Qiu Yun may be just a touching story for Liu Ruohan and Liu Ruoxue. Although the love of a shemale man is touching, both Liu Ruohan and Liu Ruoxue are both people with firm minds and will not be too entangled in this.
But for Pu Songling, this story is clearly formed by adapting events that have happened in this world.
Even with Pu Songling's attitude of "Shan Tai collapsed before it did not fall", the Confucian scholar was shaken for a while and couldn't help but ask.
"You have traveled here before? And you have conducted detailed inquiries on such things? But why do the stories I learned from Nie Xiaoqian, a person with personal experience, are not as wonderful as what you said? Is this story you made on your own? Let it truly become a wonderful 'story'?"
Um?
Hearing this, Qiu Yun was stunned. Although he had already made some estimates in his heart, he specially took out "A Chinese Ghost Story", but this was actually a bit beyond Qiu Yun's own expectations.
In fact, Qiu Yun was not surprised that Pu Songling would be surprised by "A Chinese Ghost Story". He was prepared for this.
Although many people from the real planes have arrived before this and brought many novel stories, since there is no story that suits the other party's thoughts, no one can reprocess the story of the world itself to narrate it, otherwise they would have more or less touched the other party.
But what Qiu Yun didn't expect was that Pu Songling didn't seem to know the details of the story itself, and even the story itself seemed to have to be known through his "personal" narration.
This is different from what I expected.
As for Pu Songling, who learned from Nie Xiaoqian, the "female protagonist", that was not so concerning, but this also proves one thing indirectly.
"Sir, I've seen Nie Xiaoqian himself? I'm going to show off some lessons. I think I'm saying that the narrative should be less exciting than Nie Xiaoqian's personal narration. As for the differences in the stories between the two, I think it's just that we both stand different angles. For Nie Xiaoqian, although that thing was personal experience, it was difficult to save his life at the time, so it was naturally impossible to take into account all the details. When I recall, I was inevitably mixed with my personal subjective feelings. On the contrary, I didn't have that feeling, and just told the story. Naturally, it was very different. It seems that this is a very ordinary thing."
The thoughts in his heart changed sharply, but Qiu Yun said slowly, as if he was really talking about a small thing, and he only looked at Pu Songling with his eyes, looking forward to his answer.
"In my opinion, it is not that simple. I have heard many 'stories'. I understand the difference between my own experience and the real story. Nie Xiaoqian does have personal experiences, but she is just narrating her own experiences. It cannot form a perfect story. It is completely inferior to what you said just now, let alone a difficult story world of 'Ghost Story'. I think, if you have time, you go to Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian and his family to tell this story, I am afraid they will be surprised by the wonderfulness of this story."
At this time, Pu Songling seemed a little excited, and his words revealed a sense of joy. No matter who could clearly feel it from his words.
"I remember that at that time Nie Xiaoqian came for her husband, wanting to remove the ghost body and turn it into a real person. You should know that although I can't help but ghosts in this inn, there are very few ghosts who dare to come. One of the weak women can do this, which also impressed me deeply about her, so I was also deeply impressed by her narrative about her own experience."
It's true.
Qiu Yun was already sure that the Pu Songling in front of him was indeed Pu Songling of this plane itself, and was not the author himself.
The other party is not the author, and Qiu Yun prefers that Pu Songling, who is the author, has set up relevant identities and appearances for himself in his own story, such as being in a neutral third-party person.
In the past life, this can only be considered as the author's self-entertainment. After connecting to parallel planes, you can naturally meet him in this plane.
However, even if it is not the author, Qiu Yun was completely sure in this conversation that the person in front of him had no less talent and ability than Pu Songling himself. What he carries may be more than his author. This is the person in front of him.
"Well... Although I'm sorry that this story is something that Mr. Hun has heard of, I wonder if he has some feelings about this story?"
After confirming his guess, Qiu Yun naturally had a clear idea. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately asked with a faint smile.
"Yes, indeed! When I heard what Nie Xiaoqian said, I did have some inspiration, but in the end it was just inspiration, but it was not able to form a truly complete 'story world'. Only when I heard what you said at this time did I realize that this is the 'story world' that I really want to find!"
Sure enough, it was not unreasonable that Pu Songling was so excited at this time. It was because he really felt this and was a little difficult to control himself, and even said a little.
really!
Just as you think!
What Pu Songling needs... No, what this plane needs is actually the story of the plane itself. It is not just a single narrative, but a story that turns every short story into a story with a complete worldview.
pity!
You can't do it yourself!
Yes, it can't be done, or it's not ready to do it.
There are many stories in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, but the only one that can be clearly described in one's own "Prophet" is this article "A Chinese Ghost Story", the one that has a very deep impression on the "Prophet".
After all, I don’t have the ability, time, and the energy to perfect every story one by one.
"I think with Mr.'s wisdom, I'm afraid he has already understood what kind of story he needs. The people who come and go to the inn are not just people like us, but more of those ordinary people. Through their narratives, Mr. can collect enough stories, and the only way to organize them is to be formed."
Qiu Yun never thought of cooperating with other real people.
It’s not because such an approach will reduce one’s own gains, nor because one cannot trust others’ abilities, but because it is not necessary.
Qiu Yun believes that power is only in his own hands for "reality". So, by judging others by oneself, the development and growth of this entire plane world depends entirely on the help of people from outside?
impossible!
For external things, they will only use them for their real use, and their foundation must depend on themselves. If you cannot understand this, you will not be able to become the spokesperson for the entire plane.
This may also be a major reason why the real government has not really invested heavily in this plane.
Smart people should do things smartly, rather than show off their little cleverness, thinking that everyone else is fool. Instead of thinking about taking all the benefits into consideration, it is better to grasp the benefits that you can master.
"It's true, but I don't know how long it will take to really sort it out. Speaking of which, with the help of many people, I have already learned a lot of stories, and I can get inspiration from time to time to organize these stories, and even a lot of 'new creations' that suited my mind. Unfortunately, among so many people I have seen, there are really not many people who can truly recognize this, and you are the only one who can directly surprise me on the basis of knowing this!"
He nodded slightly to confirm Qiu Yun's guess, but even so, Pu Songling's face still had an unconcealed look of joy.
"You have brought me two wonderful stories, and there is even more joy. No matter how you learn these two stories, I must thank you! According to the rules set by me before, do you have any wishes that I need to help fulfill? Even if you say it directly!"
desire?
I do have a wish.
Or, there is only one wish you need to realize!
"I hope I can have stronger strength."
Only your own strength is the real strength, and only by having enough strength can you protect everything you want to protect and get everything you expect.
Strength is your wish.
"Improving my own strength? This wish is a little more ordinary. Well... If I were to others, I would give them a satisfactory reward, just like this girl Liu Ruohan. Even if she did not make actual requests, I would give similar rewards. But you are different. You gave me two wonderful stories and even a surprise. So if you can, I naturally hope to give you a surprise."
Pu Songling had recovered his previous elegant Confucian temperament, but there was still a faint smile on his face, and his eyes looked at Qiu Yun were also very soft.
Obviously, he was really ready to pay Qiu Yun.
"I have said before that I have some understanding of the systems you have. As far as I know, the systems on you may have different aspects, but one of them is roughly the same, which is to become a disciple. In fact, I have seen your people come and do nothing, just look for some powerful people, monsters, ghosts, and demons, and then try every means to become a disciple. As long as they can successfully become a disciple, their strength will increase rapidly. I was very curious about this. When I first saw them, I thought it was the latest demon."
When Qiu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but jump, and subconsciously blurted out.
"Sir, please..."
"Oh, I haven't finished it yet. If you want to go to my school, there is no problem. After all, with the help of the system, I only need to have a name and don't have to pay extra. But before that, I want to tell you that the "way" I took is completely different from the way of body refining you. If you are really ready to learn from me, then most of your strength will have to start practicing again. Even if you have systematic help, the principle of heaven is balanced, and there will be gains and losses. You should also know the price you have to pay. In addition, I am not stingy with this matter, but I must also tell you that although I am the strongest person in this plane, I am not good at fighting and do not like fighting. Therefore, although I am well-versed in some mysterious and wonderful methods, I have never studied these aspects."
Before Qiu Yun became a disciple, Pu Songling stopped him with a wave of his hand, and then he explained slowly without waiting for him to ask.
"If you don't want to do this, then I can give you another chance. If you can seize this opportunity, not only you, but even these two little girls may be able to further improve yourself. Of course, if you make such a choice, you may also gain nothing. Therefore, before making a choice, you must think carefully before answering. Although I appreciate you, I will only give you a chance to choose."
'Chance'?
An opportunity to improve everyone?
No, with Liu Ruohan's strength, even the so-called "opportunity" is too small for her, so the "opportunity" will only be her own.
"I wonder if you can tell me what the so-called 'opportunity' refers to? I think it would not be a difficult thing for me to do, but apart from that, I really couldn't think of what kind of 'opportunity' it was."
Qiu Yun did not consider the first choice given by Pu Songling.
Not only did Pu Songling himself say it bluntly, but Qiu Yun also knew that the other party was also a literati in nature.
What's more, Qiu Yun is also very confident about the "road" he chose and has no idea of changing his fighting style. Even if he can immediately improve his strength to a stronger level after it changes.
Temporary strength does not mean permanent strength. Qiu Yun also has his own ideas about his own strength.
"Of course there is nothing to say about this. This matter is not a special secret."
Pu Songling smiled indifferently, and his eyes looked at Qiu Yun with a hint of appreciation.
When you know the result, even if you have your own ideas, there are not many people who can really stick to it.
