If Zhou Kang were an ordinary editor or reader, he would definitely be willing to see a new category born, which would be a good thing for the entire literary circle.
However, his current status as a literary agent, such works as tomb robbers, which wander on the edge of law and morality, are prone to problems, especially for writers like them who have little background.
Publishing is never transparent, and for big-name writers or writers with backgrounds, the review criteria are usually more relaxed, but these people who are not well-known are strictly reviewed!
Zhang Chu doesn't have the Writers' Association behind him now, obviously "Youth School" won the gold medal for the essay, but the reward for joining the Writers' Association has still not been issued.
Zhou Kang pondered the sentence for a while, and he asked: "The protagonist of the tomb robbery makes a living, and it is easy to step on the line, do you have any ways to avoid it?"
"Strictly speaking, the protagonist is not robbing the tombs of ordinary people, nor is he robbing the tombs of historical celebrities, but more like an adventure in various mysterious ruins. Tomb robbing is more of a gimmick, and there will be no acts of benefiting from tomb robbing, and there will be no public promotion of tomb robbing. β
Of course, Zhang Chu has to make it clear to his agent, and in the future, Zhou Kang will have to communicate with the media or publishing house about these words.
If it is really like what Zhang Chu said, Zhou Kang doesn't think there are too many problems, but he has to write it out and see how it is.
So, he asked, "Are you going to start writing now?"
"I don't write much, it's time-consuming. Now I only wrote the first few thousand words, and I can't talk about getting into the main text. β
Zhou Kang had a feeling of impatience, and he asked, "I'm quite interested in your new type, send it to me to take a look." β
Zhang Chu reluctantly got up from the bed, sat in front of the computer desk and sorted out the documents he wrote last night, there were a lot of garbled characters and English letters on it, which were probably rolled out with his face after falling asleep.
After deleting these things, he sent the content of the first chapter over, and at the same time asked Zhou Kang to help register all the copyrights around this one, so as to save trouble in the future.
Zhou Kang opened the document as soon as he downloaded it, and there was no time wasted in between.
"Ghost blowing the lamp?"
Zhou Kang, who usually rarely reads supernatural works, shuddered the moment he saw the title of the book, this name sounds a little scary, why should the ghost blow out the lamp, isn't it even more terrifying when there is no light!
In the end, it was a middle-aged man in his forties, Zhou Kang quickly forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and continued to watch.
"Tomb robbing is not a dinner party, it is not a fuss...... That's a bit true, and it's a bit of a pretense. β
This preface really aroused Zhou Kang's interest, what is the real tomb robbery, he is looking forward to the surprise brought by Zhang Chu.
"My grandfather's name is Hu Guohua, the ancestor of the Hu family was a famous landowner in ten miles and eight townships, and in the most glorious period, he bought more than 40 houses connected by three alleys in the city......"
The first-person writing style is very common in the supernatural, Zhou Kang didn't pay much attention to it, this was actually telling the story of his grandfather, which seemed to be a bit too bland!
Is it to write about the experience of my grandfather?
He didn't jump to a conclusion for a moment, but continued to look down.
After less than a thousand words, the wonderful place has arrived, and the paper man who was originally used to fool his uncle and find someone to tie it has come to life!
not only spoke, but even took the initiative to marry Hu Guohua!
A chill poured out from behind Zhou Kang, of course he knew what was going on with the paper man, there was still this tradition in the countryside, but why did the paper man become a living person?
Even this blank paper woman asked Hu Guohua to go to the cemetery to dig out the gold and silver jewelry buried inside!
Later in the story, it becomes more and more chilling.
A few years later, Hu Guohua finally remembered to dig up the gold and silver jewelry in the coffin, who would have thought that the female ghost would be so lifelike, and even cut his intestines open, dug out his heart and ate it!
Not only that, but also coerced and lured Hu Guohua to find another woman, this terrifying and bloody description is really amazing.
Fortunately, Hu Guohua's life should not be extinguished, he met a master on the road, and pierced the identical Xiaocui with the paper man to fool the female corpse, and the female corpse ate not Xiaocui's heart, but the black donkey's hooves contained in the paper man!
"The black donkey's hooves still have this effect?"
A fierce female corpse was actually restrained by a black donkey's hooves!
However, the master was plotted by the female corpse, and passed away after passing down the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", and the story finally came to "me".
On August 1st Army Day, his original name was Hu Jianjun, but unfortunately there were too many duplicate names, so he changed it to Hu Bayi, and the protagonist of the story finally appeared!
The document ended here, Zhou Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Hu Guohua was definitely not an important character in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but this kind of foreshadowing story made people feel creepy, and the follow-up content would definitely be more exciting.
And since it is a tomb robbery, this tomb robbery has not yet begun, he has a hunch that this "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" will play an important role, and he wants to know which sixteen words it is.
The paper man is not Zhang Chu's first creation, but the female ghost possessed the paper man, and being restrained by the black donkey's hooves or something made him feel like an eye-opener, as if he had opened the door to a new world!
"Hey, what are you looking at, Old Zhou?"
A palm suddenly patted Zhou Kang's shoulder, which startled his whole body, and he almost jumped up from the chair.
People are scary, scared to death, not to mention that Zhou Kang was still watching "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" just now!
Wan Zhuo, a colleague in the office, was also surprised, "Such a big reaction?"
"Lao Wan, you almost didn't scare my heart attack! Don't do this next time, my heart can't withstand such a scare. β
Wan Zhuo asked puzzledly, "I'm just saying hello normally." β
Anyone who has seen horror has probably had a similar experience, when he was engrossed in it, he was suddenly greeted by a friend, and all the hairs on his body had to stand up!
"Forget it, I'm just scared by the content. Zhou Kang calmed down, and he made up his mind that when he went home to worship his ancestors during the Spring Festival this year, he would definitely not buy any paper houses and cars to burn.
"Scared? What!" Wan Zhuo's curiosity was bursting, he immediately bent down to stare at the monitor, and then saw the three words ghost blowing the lamp, "Old Zhou, you actually look so terrifying." β
Zhou Kang explained: "It's not horror, it's a new book written by Zhang Chu, and it belongs to tomb robbery." β
"Zhang Chu, he's writing a new book again, what tricks does this kid come up with? β
Wan Zhuo said as he checked the content in front of him, and suddenly felt hairy in his heart, no wonder Lao Zhou would be scared!
This kind of memoir-like writing is a bit like when I was a child, my grandfather sat at the gate of the courtyard, smoking tobacco and talking about his past experiences.
