Chapter 40: Talking Immortals in the Study Room
Qin Zi'ang asked carefully, "Then should I call you Mr. Zhang?"
"No, no, we immortal practitioners do not judge seniority based on grades. The so-called appearance is born from the heart. The mentality is young and the appearance looks naturally young, so you can call me Brother Zhang."
"Okay, Brother Zhang, what you said may be right. Maybe I will not feel like this after I am with Miss Yuehua, but now I am not with her. Brother Zhang must have experienced this kind of pain of lovesickness, so how can I say that I can let go of it easily?
Even if I regret it in the future, I have to try it before I know it, otherwise I will never be able to let it go.”
Zhang Luochen thought to himself, Oh, this kid has a little thought, and he even thought of this.
"Okay, what you said is a bit fallible, but the magic in the Yangshen Record is really dangerous to practice ordinary people. I can't give it back to you. Why not do this? I will study it first and teach you how to do it after I figure it out first?"
Qin Ziang nodded, "Of course, I can, but I don't know when Brother Zhang will learn it?"
"Haha, it's hard to say, because first of all, I have to master the words here. The words of our immortals are different from yours, so we have to learn from scratch."
Qin Zi'ang was so anxious that he thought Zhang Luochen was perfunctory, "Study from scratch? Then when will it take? If Meng Buqi, why don't you teach Brother Zhang's writing?"
Zhang Luochen thought it was convenient, so he saved himself from finding a teacher, "Okay, then when will we start?"
"What's going on now?" Qin Zi'ang wanted to teach Zhang Luochen immediately.
Zhang Luochen nodded, "Then let's start." He was not in a hurry to get into the skills, so he learned literature first.
The two of them came to the study and prepared to start learning, of course they didn't have to start teaching from scratch. After all, Zhang Luochen's situation was special, and he could write and read the words, but the words in this world were somewhat different from simplified Chinese, so it was easy to learn.
Zhang Luochen first wrote out the simplified Chinese characters, and then Qin Zi'ang translated them one by one with the words of this world. Zhang Luochen copied them several times with a brush, and it was easy to master them.
I first learned some common words, many of which are even the same, such as one, two, three, and four.
Then he picked up an old book on the bookshelf and compared it with the translation and copying. In two or three hours, Zhang Luochen had mastered hundreds of words.
Qin Zi'ang then realized that Zhang Luochen was not perfunctory and really needed to learn again. And judging from the speed of learning, it would not take a few days.
"Brother Zhang is indeed smart, and it is natural to learn words."
Zhang Luochen smiled and continued to copy the article. Qin Zi'ang was free and flipped through the old books on the bookshelf. Suddenly, Qin Zi'ang saw a stack of obviously newly written manuscripts. He picked them up and looked at them, but he also understood four or five points.
"Is this the text written by Brother Zhang? Could it be that it is a fairy magic and Taoist technique?"
Zhang Luochen smiled, "Haha, Brother Qin, you have thought too much. This is a legendary novel story I wrote."
Qin Zi'ang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this immortal cultivator also likes to read novels, which aroused his interest. "Uh, I didn't expect that Brother Zhang actually has this hobby? I also like to listen to books on weekdays, and even wrote a few short stories. Unfortunately, my father said this was a useless little path. He scolded me a few times, but later gave up. What story did Brother Zhang write?"
Zhang Luochen said, "It's just the deeds experienced by some immortals in the Ten Thousand Immortal Forest of Penglai Island. I just write them casually. However, the words of mortals are different from those of our fairy world. It's because of this that I came up with the idea of learning words."
Qin Zi'ang immediately became interested, "I don't know if Brother Zhang can tell me. I have heard many legends of immortals, but I always feel that it is not very good. I don't know whether it is true or false. Since Brother Zhang is a disciple of Wanxianlin, the story he told must be true, but it also gives me a long experience."
Zhang Luochen did not refuse, and he happened to be a little tired of copying books, so he simply started to tell a story.
Some of the backstory he told was some of the backstory stories in the legend of the Three Realms, as well as some films, TV series and novels he had watched in modern times.
These stories are obviously much more ups and downs than the more primitive stories told in this era.
Qin Zi'ang listened for a while, and the more he heard, his eyes became brighter and brighter. He suddenly shouted and stopped, picked up the pen and recorded it directly.
"Brother Zhang, please tell me slowly, I will record it for you. These stories of you are very interesting. If you can be published into a book, you may be able to pass on to future generations and create a good story."
The two of them said and remembered each other, but they wrote thousands of words in a short while, which was much faster than writing by themselves.
Moreover, Qin Zi'ang used the semi-classical Chinese style, which is similar to the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. It often takes a few hundred words to write a story, which is very concise.
As Zhang Luochen talked, he talked about the two stories he made up. After listening for a while, Qin Zi'ang suddenly had a look in his eyes, "I understand."
"Well, what do you know?"
"Is that immortal who taught Taoist Hong Zhouzi the immortal in the Forest of Ten Thousand Immortals?"
Zhang Luochen said that you have a strong brain-stimulating ability, but this is OK. Anyway, your goal is to promote your reputation, so why not just do the entire series of stories? What about the bibliography of the Ten Thousand Immortals Forests?
"What else do you know?"
"I guess this immortal is Brother Zhang, right?"
Zhang Luochen is ridiculous now, and his imagination is a bit big.
"This is really not me, because we have many immortals in the Ten Thousand Immortal Forest, each of us has different experiences and is passed down by word of mouth, so the content may change a little. I can't tell who the immortal that Taoist Master Hong Zhouzi met when he was young."
"So that's it. If that's the case, Brother Zhang doesn't mind me polishing these stories a little."
"Of course I don't mind, but how do Brother Qin plan to polish it."
Qin Zi'ang said, "For example, the story of the Legend of the White Snake you told before. Both Bai Snake and Xiaoqing in it actually fell in love with Xu Xian. This kid is just a scholar and has no use at all. How can he make the two beauties fall in love with him? It would be better to let the immortals in Wanxianlin accept these two girls, which is a good story."
Zhang Luochen thought to himself, you kid is very talented to be an online writer. He actually learned to send a girl without a teacher, and the protagonist is a routine of opening a harem.
In fact, the reason why Xu Xian took over the white snake was of course because Xu Xian was the protagonist. In ancient times, those who wrote this kind of article were all landlords, down-and-out scholars, etc. When they wrote, they naturally brought themselves into the protagonist, and they would do whatever they wanted.
Qin Zi'ang obviously put himself in the body of those immortals, so he said this. Zhang Luochen understood this but was not surprised.
"Okay, it's just a story anyway, just do it."
