Chapter 3: The Imp in the Mountains
"Could it be that my father is a scholar?" Li Lin couldn't help but think, if this is the case, then is the world that respects scholars?
That's fine.
It's not a strange force, if you study, Li Lin is still quite confident, his high school grades are not good, but they are not too bad!
Moreover, he has just graduated from high school and just finished the college entrance examination, and there is a saying that does not say so: in a person's life, only before and after the college entrance examination is the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he knows astronomy, geography, and has learned all subjects, and he has learned very solidly.
Li Lin was suddenly very glad that he had just crossed over when the college entrance examination had just ended, at this time he was no stranger to studying, if he was allowed to go to college a year or two later, then he should not be able to, although the decadence of college students has not been seen with his own eyes, but since there is a legend, it should be grounded.
"Okay, just let me see what the readers of this world are reading! I just hope it's not something difficult to understand, otherwise it will take a lot of time to learn!" Li Lin stepped forward and thought to himself.
There was an old man sitting outside the room who was napping with his eyes closed, and when he heard the footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes, looked at Li Lin with cloudy eyes, and was stunned for a moment: "Stone, your illness is cured?"
"Well, I'm fine. Although he didn't know this old man, Li Lin still nodded politely.
"Okay, it's good!Haha! I'll just say how Li Badou's son can be so fragile! It can't be a slump!" the old man laughed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
Li Badou is Li Lin's father, it seems that this old man knows his father, and the relationship may not be shallow, otherwise it is impossible to stay outside his father's study.
"You want to come and see your father's study?" said the old man kindly.
"Uh...... Yes. ”
"It's okay, after your father passed away, these things should have belonged to you, and some bastards in the village were still thinking about this study a few days ago, and they were all beaten away by the old man and me!haha!" the old man squinted and smiled.
Li Lin's cold hair stood on end, he didn't expect that the seemingly thin old man in front of him would be so brave that he would beat people away with a stick!
But from another point of view, since there are people in the village who are worried about this study, there must be something valuable hidden in this study.
Thinking of this, Li Lin was excited.
"Okay, you come with me, and I'll help you unlock the door. At this time, the old man beckoned Li Lin to come over, and Li Lin hurriedly followed.
It's not so much a library as a library, but it's a very small library.
Li Lin stepped into the room, and immediately saw several bookshelves full of books, and there was a desk in the middle, on which the four treasures of the study room were all prepared.
After the old man saw Li Lin enter the study, he silently withdrew, so quiet that Li Lin didn't notice it.
"Is this my father's study?" Although he has no impression of that father, it is not difficult to know from the furnishings of this study that his father is a very self-disciplined person.
The study is neat and clean, and there is no clutter in the slightest.
So, what is the secret of this study?
Li Lin walked to a bookshelf, looked at the books on it, and found that they were all short stories. Some can only be regarded as ancient legends in the countryside, and they can't even be called stories.
After flipping through a few books, Li Lin shook his head and found that he couldn't stand it.
The content of these books is nothing new, as if it can only deceive children, or it is similar to fairy tales, and more importantly, their text descriptions are extremely poor, and some are worse than the writing of elementary school students!
For example, the burning fire, he can describe it as "the sparks of flowers, flying with a bang", Li Lin was speechless for a while.
"What is this...... Li Lin was full of black lines: "What is the head of a young man is very handsome, so handsome that people don't want to take their eyes off, they just want to touch that head...... You can't fucking say you're handsome, and you want to touch that head, what's the matter?"
Li Lin no longer has any expectations for the language level of this world.
Looking at the shelves, some of the books that he thought were badly written were still famous in the world......
Speechless, really speechless.
From Li Lin's point of view, Snow White can completely explode any book here!
"This is the secret of the study?" Li Lin thought with some disappointment.
Just as he was about to leave in disgrace, he suddenly saw a book with the title "On the Writer."
"What is this?" Li Lin curiously took down the book, and the author on it was written "Sun Jun".
Seeing the name Sun Jun, some memories surfaced in Li Lin's mind, this person seems to be a well-known Confucian, but what kind of well-known law, Li Lin has no idea.
"Since you are a great Confucian, you can at least read what you have written, right?" Li Lin muttered, and then turned the first page.
"The avenue of heaven and earth can be a book!" is printed in the eye of these eight big characters.
Li Lin was interested, and when he saw the word heaven and earth, he had a hunch that this book should be what he was looking for, and maybe it could unveil the mystery of this world.
"To write a book is to write a book, to write a writer, to turn a book into a form, to do the impossible, to write a book to the ultimate, to create the sky, but Erer. ”
Seeing this, Li Lin's eyebrows suddenly raised, and the opening words seemed to be a bit exaggerated, "The act of creating the sky, but Er'er", which means that writing a book can write another piece of heaven and another world?
Although he is a traverser, Li Lin still feels that this is a bit.
It's hard to be the creator god, then everyone is the creator god.
"Forget it, let's keep reading. Li Lin pursed his lips and continued reading.
This Sun Jun is worthy of being a great Confucian, and the things he wrote are indeed several grades higher than those previous books, at least the writing is at the level of junior high school students or above, and even some of the words are too astringent, and even Li Lin has to think about it several times to understand the meaning.
And the more he looked at it, the more shocked Li Lin became, if what was written in this book was true, then the sentence "the act of making the sky, but Erer" just now was really not a joke.
Writing a book to the end, it is really possible to create the sky!
Writer, is a unique and rare profession in this world, if you want to be a writer, not hard work is useful, first you have to learn to read, people in this world are generally illiterate, at most you can write your name out of it is good.
Even if you learn most of the words, you still have to have a lot of style and writing to be able to write a book, it is not enough to have style and writing, writing is a story, your story must be rigorous, structured, have a protagonist, have a supporting role and some other things that are not available.
In short, it is difficult to write a book.
Even if you meet the above conditions and write a book with all the internal organs, it may not be able to attract the aura of heaven and earth and turn it into a "spiritual book".
Only books that are recognized by heaven and earth have real value.
Otherwise, it can only be regarded as a book with a collection of words, and usually this kind of book has little reference value.
As for the spiritual book, according to Li Lin's point of view, it is a summoning book.
The spirit book can summon the characters in the book, including the protagonist and various supporting characters, and its abilities and personalities are equivalent to those described in the book, that is, if the protagonist of the book you write is a swordsman with a cold and arrogant personality, then what you summon is a cold and arrogant swordsman.
In addition, this protagonist will also grow along with your writing progress, and at the end of the book, if he is already a kendo powerhouse, it means that you can summon this kendo powerhouse to help at any time.
Seeing this, Li Lin was a little excited, if he wrote a book, and the protagonist in it finally became the master of the universe, wouldn't it mean that he had a master of the universe to summon at any time?
However, seeing the next content, Li Lin couldn't help but feel half cold in his heart.
Books approved by heaven and earth usually have a certain logic, and books that are beyond common sense will not be recognized as spiritual books.
Someone once wrote a spiritual book, in which the protagonist was originally a weak person, but later grew into an immortal, and as a result, the book was deprived of the qualification of the spiritual book by heaven and earth, and it became a waste book completely.
"That's a lot of restrictions!" Li Lin scratched his head: "If you don't write well, or if it is too out of common sense, it may be written invalidly, and the original spiritual book will become a waste book...... In this way, those fairy novels or fantasy novels should not be written, the beginning is fine, once the protagonist grows too much, the qualification of the spiritual book will be deprived immediately. ”
In fact, as long as he writes a spiritual book, he will be called a writer, and his status will rise, but once he later deviates from that book, resulting in the spiritual book being deprived of the qualification of heaven and earth, it will be the most tragic thing in the world.
Because of this, there are often writers who write a spiritual book, but they don't dare to continue writing, and they refuse to finish it.
"No wonder the books I just saw were a bunch of books with heads and tails. Li Lin thought of the books he had just read on the shelf, and in addition to the extremely poor writing, almost none of them had a complete ending.
Next, Li Lin read this book "On the Writer" several times, and wrote down some of the main points of writing the book, and he knew very well that if he wanted to turn over, he had to write a book.
When turning to the last page, the author Sun Jun left a sentence: "My Sun Jun, when I was sixteen years old, wrote a spiritual book, the achievement of the writer, has been more than 60 years, during which only 12 spiritual books have been written, I hope that there will be descendants to surpass me, write more spiritual books, so this book is specially established, people who are destined to get it, must study hard, become a writer!"
Seeing this, Li Lin suddenly realized that this book was not a flood of popular books, but the only precious book handwritten by the great Confucian Sun Jun, although it was not a spiritual book, but its value was probably no less than that of ordinary spiritual books!
"It seems that my father got this book by chance and became the writer, so he was respected by people, and even the mayor of the town next door came to his face. Li Lin took the book into his arms and said slowly: "In this case, then I will be like a father, become a writer, and let those guys who watch good movies fall through their glasses!"
"By the way, since my father is a writer, he must have already written the spiritual book. Li Lin suddenly thought, and then looked for it in the study.
Not long after, a poorly bound book was taken out by him from under the desk, and the author on it was Li Badou, who was Li Lin's father.
"This should be it. Li Lin's eyes lit up, and he felt that this book was not the same as those books on the shelves, with some aura fluctuations.
"Imp in the mountains. Li Lin looked at the title of the book, opened his mouth to read it, and at the same time felt that something was wrong, in his opinion, those strange and chaotic things should be beyond logic, and should not be a spiritual book.
However, Li Badou, which is obviously like a supernatural novel, has become a spiritual book.
Li Lin was silent for a moment, then opened the book and began to read.
Time passed minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, he finished reading this spiritual book of less than 10,000 words, and there is no need to talk about the writing, since Li Badou has become a writer for a short time, the writing must be miserable.
To Li Lin's surprise, this book is really about a ghost in the mountain who assassinates passers-by, but how can such a thing beyond common sense become a spiritual book?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Lin made a conclusion: "It seems that this world admits the existence of such a thing as ghosts, or rather, this is the original existence, so heaven and earth have not denied this spiritual book." ”
After reading it a few more times, Li Lin basically had a general understanding of the logic of this world: in short, it is impossible to write about the devastating existence of immortals and Saiyans to become a spiritual book, while the relatively low-level ghosts and goblins are within the acceptable range.
"It seems that there are so many conditions for writing a book, and it must be confirmed before writing, otherwise it will be a tragedy if the spiritual book is completed and the book is returned to the scrapped. Li Lin touched his forehead and sighed.
Then, he tried to summon the imp in this book "Little Ghost in the Mountain", and tried several times, but he couldn't succeed.
Only the original author has the right to use the spirit book, and even if others get it, there is no way to recall the characters in the spirit book, otherwise the rare thing like the spirit book would have been robbed upside down.
However, it is possible to make other manuscripts for others to read, and usually the manuscripts of spiritual books are precious and valuable, and many people are vying to see them.
What kind of content can become a spiritual book is what all those who dream of becoming a writer want to know the most, and reading the manuscripts of these spiritual books can also make their writing a little better.
It's like the monsters in the class who always get full marks in their essays, and they always hold famous books such as Dream of Red Mansions and Water Margin in their hands, which is the same reason.
Read more books, and the writing and style will be better.
This is also the reason why there are so many books in Li Badou's study, although some of them can't even be called books, and there are only a few copies of the spirit book, but this collection should not be underestimated.
Li Lin's family originally had a few plots of land, but they were all sold by his father and used them to buy these books, so now their family is facing the dilemma of being surrounded by four walls.
"In my opinion, most of the books my father bought were a waste of money. Li Lin couldn't help but complain.
Those books whose writing is so bad that they can't be read, Li Lin thinks that reading a few more times may lower his IQ!
"That's it, although no one can use this spiritual book, but after all, it is a relic of my father, so let's take it back to my mother!" Li Lin put away the book "Little Ghost in the Mountain", turned around and prepared to leave the study, anyway, today's purpose has been achieved.
