Chapter 403 402 "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"
Fang Minghua looked at him, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Runbo, you seem to be a minority?"
"Yes, I am Mulao "
"I heard that ethnic minorities have their own unique cultural beliefs and folk customs. What do you Mulao people have?" Fang Minghua asked again.
“Uniqueness is not considered unique. Things like divination, Feng Shui fortune telling, tombs, and tomb robbing legends are all folklore. In fact, they are also feudal superstitions.” Liao Runbo explained.
"Do you still have tomb robbing legends?"
"Yes, our Luocheng is located at the southern foot of Jiuwanda Mountain in the Miaoling Mountains. Some places are very mysterious, and there are many caves. In some places, cave burials are flourishing. There are legends inside There is a treasure, but of course it’s just a legend, no one has seen it.”
OK!
Fang Minghua immediately thought of something for Liao Runbo.
"Runbo, then you will write about tomb robbing?"
"Tomb robbers?"
"Yes, tomb robbers! It will definitely look good if you combine elements of Feng Shui, tombs, Xiangxi corpse chasers, etc.!"
"Can this be written?" Liao Runbo felt very happy Surprised.
"Why can't you write it? If you write it, it will definitely be popular!" Fang Minghua looked at the other party and said, "Well, let me tell you two short stories for your reference."< br>
Fang Minghua took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
During the Republic of China, there was a man named Hu Guohua who was forced to rob tombs because of his poor family and his ability to eat, drink, whore and gamble. However, he was stopped by an old man who saw Feng Shui and taught him a fragment of a secretary's book "Sixteen Characters" a hundred years later. "The Secret Technique of Yin and Yang Feng Shui". By understanding this book, you can know Feng Shui, observe astronomy, and use it to know the Qionglou Ancient Tomb hidden in the Qichuan Mountains. After many hardships, this book was finally passed to the hands of grandson Hu Bayi.
At this time, in the late 1960s, the upsurge of educated young people going to the mountains and countryside led Hu Bayi and his buddies, called Fatty, to start exploring the secrets of tomb robbing, during which they were introduced to the archaeological team. Professor Yang and Professor Chen, as the main four, embarked on a fantastic journey of exploration.
This is the famous "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"!
The ruins of the ancient city Jingjue in the Taklimakan Desert and the Mysterious Longling Grottoes in the Qinling Mountains. Touching the gold captain, touching the gold talisman, black donkey hoofs, the four major tomb robbing sects.
Liao Runbo listened to each new term with great interest.
After Fang Minghua finished speaking, Liao Runbo couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Editor Fang, there are many tombs in your Qin Province. You have also been an educated youth. Do you really understand Feng Shui and have robbed tombs?"
Fang Minghua listened. Laughed loudly.
"What kind of tomb am I robbing? These things are made up by old people or some folk legends, or by myself. Don't take them seriously."
Liao Runbo felt that what he just said was a bit abrupt, Fang Minghua is a great writer, but he is not a good editor, so he does these illegal things?
"Runbo, do you think readers would like to read such a story?" Fang Minghua finally asked.
"I'm sure I'd like to read it."
"Then you can write according to my idea. It doesn't have to be the same. Since there are similar legends in your place, you can use that one as your version, but you must pay attention to two points."
“What two points?”
“The story must be suspenseful and attractive! Also, although the story is false, it must be written mysteriously and realistically, just like it’s true!”
“I understand, for example, the four major tomb robbing sects you mentioned, such as Mojin Xiaowei, have existed in history, but we can be more artistic, more mysterious, and add more skills to make it more mysterious and powerful. "Liao Runbo said.
"That's what I mean." Fang Minghua nodded: "Everything is up to you. Control it to a book of 200,000 words and steal a tomb of different categories. If you write it well, you can form a series."
"Okay, I'll go to the library first to look up relevant information and write a summary of the story." Liao Runbo stood up and left in excitement.
“Wait a minute.”
After Fang Minghua finished speaking, he took out the wallet in his jacket bag, took out a wad of banknotes, counted them and handed them to the other party. Liao Runbo was surprised. : "Editor Fang, I can't ask for your money!"
"This is not for you." Fang Minghua said: "This 500 yuan is considered as the advance payment for the novel you want to write. I will pay it for my friend first." The payment will be deducted from future royalties after you finish writing.”
This.
Actually, Liao Runbo knew that Fang Minghua was helping him in disguise.
And I need this money too much now. With it, I can solve my immediate urgent needs.
So I stopped refusing and accepted the money. "Editor Fang, I will write it well to your satisfaction!" Liao Runbo said.
"I believe you. I'm about to get off work, why don't we have dinner together?" Fang Minghua greeted.
“No, no, I’ll go back to school and I have classes in the afternoon.” Liao Runbo declined.
"Okay, then I won't keep you."
After Liao Runbo left, Fang Minghua smiled slightly.
Maybe a world-beating singer will appear in advance?
This is also a fire book.
Liao Runbo returned to Western University and began his career in writing popular novels while studying. Here, "Female Leader" became a hit, and Shengshi Company immediately launched the second part of the "Female" series, "Female" From Stars to Female Prisoners" has ignited a boom in the market again.
For a time, the name Xue Mili was also resounding across the country.
Who is she and what is her real name? Is she a young girl?
There were many legends for a time.
Some people don't believe that a person with a nice name may not necessarily be good-looking, but some people swear that they have seen a woman named Xue Mili on the streets of Xiangjiang. She is really a beauty, even more beautiful than Michelle! "
"Who is Michelle? Just play Zhao Qiannan in "Fearless"! "
"Have you been to Xiangjiang? "Someone suddenly sneered.
"I have never been there, but you have forgotten that a distant cousin of mine is in Xiangjiang. This year my eldest cousin will come back and talk about it, and he will never lie to me! "What the other party said has a nose and eyes, so you have to believe it.
Everything is said outside, but the inside of Shengshi Book Company is extremely calm. The real situation of Xue Mili, Zhao Hongjun, as the company's top secret, is not Anyone is allowed to discuss and inquire.
Fang Minghua didn't care much about Xue MiLi's matter. He believed that Tian Yanning and Tan Li would write a series of "female" popular novels one after another.
As for Liao Runbo, let’s wait until he comes up with the first draft of the tomb robbing novel.
It is now mid-December, and Xijing has entered the winter season. This afternoon, Fang Minghua took a bus to go to Northwest University, mainly for the writers class at Northwest University.
This is organized by the Chinese Department of Northwest University under the suggestion of the Chinese Writers Association, and has been affirmed and supported by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Writers Association. The Provincial Writers Association requires several writers in the province who have made certain achievements in the field of literature to contribute to this project. The writers' class is taught temporarily, including Fang Minghua.
This time I went to discuss this matter, but Fang Minghua declined.
"Director Liu, please let me go. There are many things at home and at work, and I am really busy. It is enough to have Lu Yao and Ping Wa to talk to me." In the office of Liu Jianjun, the director of the Chinese Department, Fang Minghua said.
Liu Jianjun also understood Fang Minghua and finally let him go.
After coming out of Xi'an University, the weather was nice today, the sun was warm. Fang Minghua was not in a hurry to go back to the magazine office and was walking aimlessly on the street. Suddenly, a burst of singing came from diagonally across the street, attracting Fang Minghua's attention. .
If your husband is from Lukang Town
Have you seen my parents
My family lives behind the Mazu Temple
The small grocery store selling incense
Fang Minghua listened carefully, and it turned out to be "Lukang Town" sung by Luo Dayou.
Compared with "Childhood", "Story of Time" and "Love Song 1990" written by Luo Dayou, this song "Lukang Town" is not very popular in the mainland.
Although this song has been released for several years, it was the first time that Fang Minghua heard this song played on the streets of Xijing.
Out of curiosity, Fang Minghao crossed the road and walked into the "Xuecheng Bookstore."
