Chapter 424: Daily Update of Words

Su Guang was quite obsessed with writing a book. Even before Nan Yi presented him the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions", he had been preparing for the book for two and a half years.

Logically speaking, since Su Guang had obtained "Dream of the Red Chamber", he only needed to do some polishing, improve the writing style, and smooth out the plot before he could publish it as a serial.

By then, even if it doesn't become a huge hit and attract people to circulate it, at least those who bet with Su Guang on whether he could publish a book will lose all their money.

However, Su Guang was naturally fond of revising his writings. Every time he finished writing, he would repeatedly consider and polish the words, and always felt that it was not perfect.

Su Guang was still not satisfied after so many revisions even after more than a month, and the publication of the book was delayed again and again. Until today, there is still no sign of progress.

Nan Yi did not say much about this, but took out the remaining draft of "Dream of Red Mansions" recently written by Diandian and handed it to Su Guang.

At this moment, Nan Yi, due to the price of "Junxiansuo" "sharing suffering with ordinary people", once again balanced his cultivation with Diandian and fell to the level of nourishing qi.

Nan Yi remained calm about this, knowing that this was the price to pay for using the "Junxiansuo" to force a cross-level fight. He did not feel impatient at all and accepted it calmly.

Returning to Luo's guest house, Nan Yi took out his ink pen and gently called for Diandian to appear.

At this moment, Diandian transformed into the Diandian hero who had achieved great success in cultivating his Qi. His cultivation level was greatly increased and his skills also improved accordingly.

Nan Yi often tells stories to Diandian. In addition to stories that require Diandian to write down, he occasionally tells some strange anecdotes.

For example, he once told a story about an ordinary person who was infected by the power of spider blood and realized the truth that "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

At that time, after telling this story, Nan Yi told Diandian earnestly: "On normal days, you can update 10,000 words a day. However, if you balance your cultivation and become a Diandian hero who has achieved great success in cultivating your energy, you should hold yourself to a higher standard and update at least 30,000 words a day."

This is the amount of manuscripts that Diandian needs to hand over to Nanyi, and it is also the amount that Nanyi requires based on six hours after calculating Diandian's typing speed.

Nan Yi let Diandian arrange the remaining six hours by herself. Diandian either fell asleep to recuperate, or read books to increase her knowledge. Occasionally, she would write the novels she wanted to write, such as the prequel to the Quanzhen Patriarch.

In short, I write furiously and update at least 10,000 words a day, which is really powerful.

In just over a month, he not only completed the first draft of "The Heaven Sword and the Bloody Pagoda", but also finished the remaining content of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Of course, the Dream of Red Mansions written by Diandian in the style of martial arts novels can only be regarded as a rough draft of the story, and still needs Su Guang's further polishing and revision, which is a story for later.

Back to the topic, Nan Yi called out Diandian at this time. In addition to writing the story that Dong Lingtian requested, "He broke into the palace and died to plead for the people, and blocked the door to serve as a boundary for justice", he also wanted to create a short story about martial arts breaking the void for publication in the newspaper.

In the vernacular story, Nan Yi did not intend to write that Li Huang died after attaining enlightenment, but rather that he reached the pinnacle of martial arts and was able to "break the void."

The so-called "breaking the void" means "light returns to the sun and the moon, darkness returns to the void", implying that warriors can now glimpse a new world, which is related to the ascension in folk legends.

Although the actual ascension in this world refers to ascension to the void, the term "breaking the void" is just a rhetoric used to fool the people. It is expressed ambiguously and is sufficient to leave it to the people to fill in their own imaginations.

Of course, in order to avoid violating the "Dongzhen" precepts, Nan Yi would not personally use this statement to explain to others, but would only write it into a vernacular story and indicate that this story is purely fictional.

However, when the storyteller holds the book and tells the story, how he tells the story, how the people hear it and how they associate it, all have nothing to do with Nan Yi.

However, the idea of ​​"breaking the void" has no precedent in the story of this world. If it is only briefly mentioned, it is difficult for people to understand its meaning. However, the story that Dong Lingtian requested is not suitable for adding more words to the ending of Li Huang.

Therefore, Nan Yi had to write another story to explain the matter of "breaking the void" specifically.

Nan Yi called out Diandian and asked for the prequel to the founder of Quanzhen that he had written privately.

Diandian said awkwardly, "It's not finished yet and is still being revised." Nan Yi laughed dumbly, "How come you have the same mistake as Su Guang?"

Then, he said earnestly: "No one is perfect, and neither is a book. As a vernacular novel, as long as it can tell the story completely, it is qualified. On this basis, if you can properly polish the text, it is certainly worthy of praise. But too much is as bad as too little, and you don't have to be so exaggerated as to carefully consider every word and repeatedly delete and revise it. You need to know when to stop."

Dian Dian had a silly smile on his face, scratched his head, and finally took out the manuscript of the prequel to the Quanzhen Patriarch that he had written.

Nan Yi flipped through it quickly.

In addition to adding the character Diandian the hero to the book, the prequel to the Quanzhen Patriarch written by Diandian is basically based on the background story mentioned in "The Legend of the Two Dragons of Dali", that is, the love, hatred and grudges between the Quanzhen Patriarch and the Ancient Tomb Patriarch.

After Nan Yi finished reading it and confirmed that it would not cause obvious conflicts in the plot, he began to dictate and asked Diandian to write a new story on his behalf:

Thousands of years ago, when the Yan County in the north was just beginning to fall, facing the invasion of the Zhen Dynasty, the Quanzhen ancestor, who was still a young man, raised his arms and shouted, recruiting volunteers in the north to resist the Zhen Dynasty and defend his country.

However, the rebels were brutally suppressed by the powerful army of the Zhen Dynasty and were defeated. The Quanzhen Patriarch was lucky enough to escape with his life.

Afterwards, he was in a daze, full of confusion, and followed the refugee group southward. Halfway through the journey, he unexpectedly witnessed Dugu Qiubai's manifestation of Dharma, like a giant of light hundreds of feet tall standing between heaven and earth, and then proved his Dao with martial arts, forcibly shattered the void with thousands of sword lights, and ascended to the sky and left.

Witnessing this scene, the Quanzhen Patriarch finally realized that the reason he failed was because he was too weak and far from reaching the realm of "the ultimate in martial arts, breaking the sky".

Therefore, the founder of Quanzhen resolutely locked himself in an ancient tomb in the mountains, concentrated on martial arts, practiced hard day and night, and created many martial arts by himself.

During this period, his relatives, friends and former subordinates looked for him many times, but he refused to come out of the mountain on the grounds that he was not strong enough. It was not until the later ancestor of the ancient tomb came outside the ancient tomb and scolded the ancestor of Quanzhen for seven days and nights that he finally scolded him out.

…………

Nan Yi used this story as the prologue to the prequel to the Quanzhen Patriarch, and named the prequel to the Quanzhen Patriarch "The True Martial Arts Heroes".

The two sects' ancestors joined hands to roam the world and fight against foreign enemies together, but misunderstandings arose due to their respective personalities, and eventually they broke up and fought each other, establishing their own sects and other love-hate relationships. The story will be slowly updated and told in the follow-up to "True Martial Arts Heroes" which will be published in "Ming Pao".

However, the Quanzhen Patriarch had to hand over the prologue of the story in which Dugu Qiubai witnessed the breaking of the void, together with the story of Nan Yi breaking into the palace and dying for his advice, to the maid of Mailou who was waiting at the door of Luo's house overnight, so that Mailou could arrange for storytellers to publicize it after dawn.

Then, before daybreak, seeing that Diandian, who had now achieved great success in cultivating her Qi, was full of energy and extremely excited, Nan Yi asked Diandian to continue copying "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and prepare the corresponding draft.

Originally, The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy should belong to different eras with the same world view background as Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

In Mr. Jin's newly revised version, even the founder of "Nine Yang Divine Art" has been changed from Bodhidharma to Xu Zhu, the so-called drunken monk who has been a Confucian, Taoist and monk all his life.

But the more characters there are, the more likely it is that there will be plot contradictions. In addition, the background of the Three Kingdoms War thousands of years ago in Yan County, Beidi, is adapted from "The Legend of the Two Dragons of Dali", and it is impossible to continue the background like the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties. Therefore, Nan Yi does not intend to retain the implicit character inheritance relationship from Tianlong to The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

After a brief thought, he temporarily changed the background of the struggles among the countries in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" to the struggles among the states within the Kan Dynasty.

This move can be regarded as a casual move.

When we go north to Kanchao later, it may be used or not, depending on the situation.

If the Kan Dynasty is not useful, the worst that can happen is that the manuscript can be changed back to the Zhen Dynasty background.

In short, under Nan Yi's encouragement, Diandian updated tens of thousands of words in just one night. The speed was as fast as a storm, so terrifying!
