Shadow Weaver

Chapter 72 The Demon of Selflessness
"Okay. " The chief eunuch Yi Chi, the number one lackey under Emperor Xu Dianfeng, followed Yang Yan'an back to the office immediately.

At that time, An Qing was still holding her small notebook and writing furiously, while Bai Miaomiao was using a tablet, looking at the restored Shan Wenjia on the screen, and modifying the prototype of her new character.

There was a slight sound when the wooden door was pushed open from the outside. Bai Miaomiao looked up and saw who was coming, then she made a lot of faces at the little girl.

Seeing this, Xu Yichi pretended to cough and pointed at his phone, then lowered his head and quickly typed a few long paragraphs in the three-person group chat.

[Lanting Xueyichi: Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Senior Yang helped us get in touch with a few industry leaders - there's the one we talked about last time, the teacher at the Xinjiang Provincial Museum who studies the Five Stars Rising from the East and the restoration of Han brocade, there's also the big guy from Jiangsu Province who does purple clay teapots, and a calligraphy master from Hebei Province.]
[Lanting Xue Yichi: Senior Yang said that the big guy who makes purple clay teapots in Su Province has certain investment intentions, so let us try to seize the opportunity... After all, those who make these in Su Province are generally richer.jpg]
[Lanting Xueyichi: In addition, the teacher who studies the restoration of Han brocade will arrive in Xinchuan next week. Senior Yang said that he will probably stay at Yaoshan Temple. Let us make preparations in advance and don’t be shy when meeting with him.]
[Lanting Xue Yi Chi: Then...the calligraphy master in Hebei Province is the best at copying "Sacrificial Essay for My Nephew". Senior Yang said that this teacher has been copying "Sacrificial Essay for My Nephew" for many years and has been greatly influenced by Yan Zhenqing and his life. He is somewhat obsessed with the piece in Zhengding, Hebei Province, and he himself has indeed developed some psychological problems because of this.]
[Lanting Xueyichi: It’s a bit like the crazy and insane feeling of “everyone says the author is crazy, but who can understand the meaning of it”, so she hopes that if possible, we can add something related to “Sacrificial Essay to My Nephew” in the subsequent plot of the game…]
[Lanting Xue Yichi: She wanted to see if we could help the teacher get rid of his somewhat morbid obsession to a certain extent through the construction and development of the game plot, or at least let him not indulge in that tragic world too much - if people always indulge in it, problems will arise sooner or later.]
[It's Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): Oh~ I understand, Teacher Yang brought us a rich enemy (bushi), snatched away an expert, and sent us a problem child (middle-aged and older version).]
[It’s Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): But this “problem child” has a big background. We need to make this matter clear. Even if we can’t get the official endorsement from their calligraphy association, at least we can make this teacher owe us a favor. When we start promoting it, if this teacher can get two more fans, we will save a lot of money in disguise!]
[It's Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): Oh, by the way, Xiaoyi, did Teacher Yang tell me whether the big guy who makes purple clay teapots has any specific requirements for our game?]
[It's Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): This thing sounds a bit broad. I can't think of how to insert this thing into the game for the time being... Do you have any ideas? ]
[Lanting Xueyichi: Senior Yang didn’t say anything, she said she would send me the WeChat of the master who made purple clay pots, and let me contact him myself - I don’t have any good ideas about purple clay craftsmanship at the moment.]
[Lanting Xueyichi: I can only say that if the teacher simply wanted to insert the two things "purple clay pot" and "Yixing purple clay pottery production technology" into the game, it would be relatively easy to handle. But if he wanted to specifically insert a special style of pot or a cultural relic pot into the game, it would be difficult to say.]
[It’s Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): Oh~ That is to say, there is still a lot of room for negotiation, so we don’t need to be too anxious.]
[Lanting Xue Yi Chi: Yes, that’s right, you can take a look first, there’s no rush.]
[It’s Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): Don’t worry, otherwise if I have to stay up late for two more days to finish the character design, Qingqing and I will definitely have bald heads.]
[It’s Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): What about the “Sacrificial Essay to My Nephew”? Do you have any idea about it? This is the second best running script in the world… If it’s ruined, our studio will never be able to touch the category of intangible cultural heritage again.]
[Lanting Xue Yichi: Don’t mention it, I actually have some ideas about this.]
When Xu Dasao saw the latest question posted by Bai Miaomiao, he was delighted and immediately typed out the setting that she had thought of.

——In fact, when Yang Yanan first mentioned "Eulogy for My Nephew", her mind was blank. But when Senior Dingdian mentioned that Senior Yan was a little crazy and a little bit stupid, she suddenly had a new idea.

[Lanting Xue Yi Chi: We can define the protagonist of this chapter as the spirit of "Sacrificial Essay to My Nephew" - that is, the essence of this calligraphy.]
[Lanting Snow Means Late: A spirit born from calligraphy and painting, infected by Yan Zhenqing's grief, forgetting that he is a demon, and mistakenly thinking that he is a human spirit.]
[Lanting Snow: He thought he was a human being, a remnant of Yan Zhenqing’s soul that remained in the calligraphy and painting. But in fact, he was just a spirit with an obsession… It was born from human emotions, and was trapped in those emotions for life. He forgot himself, Yan Jiming, Yan Gaoqing, and even the entire prosperous Tang Dynasty, which no longer existed.]
[Lanting Snow: He thought he was Yan Lugong who had not yet found his nephew's body. He spent his days like an old film with a stuck disc, repeating the day when Yan Zhenqing wrote the "Sacrificial Essay for My Nephew".]
[Lanting Xue Yichi: The main controller's task is to help this spirit free itself from the emotions that have turned into obsessions, and remember who it is——]
[Lanting Xue Yi Chi: Xiaobai Qingqing, what do you think of my setting? Is it feasible?]
After typing this, the little girl raised her eyebrows smugly. Bai Miaomiao, who had been fiddling with her mobile phone and tablet, stared at her settings in astonishment for a long time, and then frantically tapped the screen.

[It’s Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revised version): Oh my god! It’s amazing!!]
[It’s Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revised version): Xiaoyi, your idea is really amazing! ! ]
[It's Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revision version): I got goosebumps all over my body when I saw your idea, and this setting even subtly fits part of the teacher's mentality and state... Wait until we make this game in a while, if he can really follow this plot and go through it completely, maybe we can really solve his inner demons! ]
[It’s Miaomiao, not Miaomiao (crazy revised version): Xiaoyi, you are simply a genius! ]
　It's like this, well, I'm going to Nanjing on the 22nd to receive an award and attend an event, and then I'll be back on the 26th.

　　It's about four and a half to five days of running.

　　Then I will try my best to finish the articles for those days in advance, but I may not be able to finish them all. I can only say that I will try my best. If it really doesn’t work, I will take a few days off as appropriate. It won’t be too much, at most three days anyway. I can’t get that many leave notes even if I take more.

　　Don't miss me too much then.
