A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 27 A truly depressing masterpiece!

"This sword has five questions——"

"One question, what has the Qin State done wrong over hundreds and thousands of years?"

"Second question, what is Bai Qi guilty of?

"Third question, what was the crime of dying in battle in Xianyang and being trapped in the battle?"

"Fourth question: wandering through the ages, what is the fault of the people who have left?"

"Question 5: Heaven and earth are unkind, what is the fault of the common people?"

"The five questions are finished, Gu Nan is ready to die!"

"These eighty-six people died in the battle, bringing disgrace to our army. From now on, these eighty-six people will no longer belong to our army! They will be demoted to ordinary people and returned to their hometowns! They can no longer be called our men! Likewise, those who did not bear the brunt of our heinous crimes will be condemned as good people in the netherworld. In the next life, they will find a good life here! Army of the Vanguard! Send you away! Have a safe journey!"

"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life!"

In the tent, Gu Nan knelt beside Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng looked at her and suddenly laughed, saying softly: "Mr. Gu, why don't you say a word?" There was no answer, but Ying Zheng smiled and continued to ask: "Mr. Gu, I have never been able to seek immortality."

When the words in the book are like vivid pictures,

Keep appearing in Shen Yue's mind!
Zhao Kuo, who was originally a scholar and was known for his armchair strategist, died in battle out of anger!

Even if you know you can't win, you will still face death bravely!
Bai Qi, the butcher who devoted himself to Qin and made great military achievements for Qin, ended up being overthrown by his master because of his great achievements.

He was sentenced to death by the King of Qin in front of Gu Nan!

When looking at those well-known historical figures one after another,
Keep dying in front of yourself!
Shen Yue, only felt that her heart——

It hurts so much!
It hurts so much that I can't even breathe!
As an author, Shen Yue never thinks that the characters in her works are fictional, virtual, or pale and powerless!

On the contrary, Shen Yue believes that even if it is a novel——

Each of them is flesh and blood, and has his or her own complex and profound soul!
From a reader's perspective, just appreciating the words in this book -

Shen Yue could feel the grief of watching her relatives and friends passing away one after another in front of her, while she was powerless to do anything!
Shen Yue couldn't imagine how Gu Nan, who had experienced all of this personally, would feel when facing these tragic moments of life and death.
How painful her heart would be!

Looking at Zhao Kuo, the main general of the State of Zhao, who knew he could not win, he still resolutely rushed to the battlefield and was ready to die!

When he saw Wu Anjun, an elderly man who was familiar with Gu Nan and had saved her life, he died in Gu Nan's arms and bore eternal infamy.

A teardrop silently flowed down Shen Yue's cheek.

“I feel so bad.”

Shen Yue couldn't imagine that the author who could write such a shocking and tragic masterpiece, in reality -

What kind of person would he be?

What kind of author could conceive such a tear-jerking and unforgettable tragic story?
What was he thinking when he was conceiving these plots?
What kind of mood was he in when he wrote about these flesh-and-blood characters?
Shen Yue has always thought that she is a genius. This title of "genius" is not self-proclaimed.

But everyone around her believes this from the bottom of their hearts!

In terms of literary literacy,
Shen Yue is indeed extremely talented!
Born into a scholarly family, where three generations of her family are university professors, Shen Yue started to

He received a very good education in books.

She did not let her parents down. Since entering elementary school, Shen Yue has shown a literary talent far beyond her peers.

I’ve been winning awards so many times.

The media rushed to report.

From junior high school, to high school, to college
Shen Yue has never let her family down!
However, Shen Yue, who always thought she was a genius, was participating in the Xingyao Cup today and reading the book "The Poor Ghost's Two Thousand Years" on the Xingyao Ranking List.
Only then did she realize how ridiculous the 'genius' she thought of herself was!
I still remember the following passage in the famous novel Journey to the West:

[The genius boy in the eyes of the world is a rare gem that appears only once in dozens of epochs on the human continent. When he was born, the sky was shining with rosy clouds, the ground was surging with golden lotuses, and dragons and phoenixes were singing. He was blessed with the foundation of heaven when he was born, and cultivated the flawless golden elixir when he was ten years old. In one day, he suddenly realized and broke through the three realms of Yuanying, Mahayana, and Illusionary God. After that, he broke through to the Tongtian realm in just a hundred years, and survived 81 difficulties. He was blessed with thunder tribulations, ascended to heaven, and finally, gloriously became]

[The 128th squadron of soldiers stationed at the South Heaven Gate!] [During the process of heavenly soldiers and generals besieging the Monkey King Sun Wukong, he didn't even have the chance to see the Monkey King's demeanor. He was completely beaten into nothingness by a wisp of stick wind that was accidentally leaked when the Monkey King fought with Erlangshen Yang Jian thousands of miles away.]

If we say that Shen Yue can regain her confidence by observing other works on the Star Glory Ranking List:

“I just don’t have enough experience!”

“As long as I am given enough time, I may be able to write works as amazing as these.”

However, when Shen Yue saw the book "Two Thousand Years of Poor People" on the Xingyao Ranking List, she truly felt -

That kind of powerlessness that comes from the bottom of my heart!
In this world, not everything can be made up for by hard work.

At least, this book "The Poor Man's Two Thousand Years" ranked on the Star Glory Ranking List——

The kind of depression revealed in the text!

The kind of suffocation that emerges from the story!

Shen Yue felt that the grief and despair revealed between the lines was enough to make her feel like she was being given ten years to grow up.

Even if she tried her best to imitate him, she might not be able to achieve it in her entire life!

"The author who could write about a tragic woman like Gu Nan must be very depressed in real life, right?"

Shen Yue kept flipping through the e-books on her computer.
The more I read,

The more I sigh,
Even though she had tried her best to restrain herself from imagining the tragic plot in the story, but even so——

While reading this book, through the words in the book, she could also feel the depression that was coming at her!
There is a saying circulating among writers:

A book is like its author!

If you want to write about a protagonist who faces difficulties and adversities without fear of danger and rises to the challenge, then as an author, when writing such a story -

You shouldn't escape!

The same is true!

The author who could write such a depressing and tragic story must have, in his private life,

Should it also be a sentimental feeling, one that worries about the country and the people, and sighs at the sadness of everything?

It is similar to Du Fu, who was impoverished in his later years, was able to write the seven-character quatrain "I am often a guest in a thousand miles of sad autumn, and I am alone on the stage due to various illnesses for a hundred years"!

Another analogy is that Qu Yuan, who was frustrated and full of ambitions but had no way to serve his country, did not want to see the monarch's incompetence lead to the demise of the country, so when he jumped into the river, he wrote an epic masterpiece that shocked the history of Chinese literature with grief and indignation.

Chu Ci "Li Sao"!
Since ancient times, scholars have always appreciated each other.

For some reason, when reading "The Poor Ghost's Two Thousand Years", Shen Yue felt very sorry for the author who wrote this depressing masterpiece.

I actually felt a kind of heartache?

This kind of heartache is not just heartache, but it also contains a trace of compassion.
"I couldn't help crying when I read this book. When I read about Bai Qi's death, I felt so distressed that I burst into tears."

"As a reader, you have to bear such pressure when reading this book."

"Then when the author wrote such a tragic story——"

"How miserable he must be feeling."

Just as Shen Yue was sighing and feeling sad for the author.

The back row of the classroom.

Jiang Hai held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at Yang Wei and Chu Tianjiao who were playing Landlord with him. He glared at them and there was endless grief and indignation in his words:
"Who the hell is taking my lighter again???"
