It took two days for Chi Fei to buy all the things he wanted to use.

The desk and chair were bought from a thrift store, and the oil lamp could not be found second-hand, so I had to buy a new one.

Sure enough, after all the things were bought, there was only a little bit of silver left in the four taels of silver on his body. I had to take one of the fifty taels of silver tickets to the money bank and exchange them for three small silver bills of ten taels and twenty taels of broken silver.

In addition to the things he wanted to use, he also bought a few boxes of snacks, and then deliberately found someone else's time at home to send them to other neighbors living in the courtyard from house to house, so as to say hello and get acquainted.

This is the rule that his grandfather taught him, and every time he moved to a new place, he would bring gifts and visit his neighbors one by one.

Don't ask the other party to look at each other, just ask everyone to be safe and sound, and the river water will not violate the well water.

There are three young couples living in the main house and the left and right wings, and the couple who live in the main house also has a son who is three or four years old, and the child is very cute.

The three couples are all honest people who came to the capital from other places to make a living, and they are also fellow villagers from the same place.

The first to come was the couple living in the main house, and after they came to the capital to settle down, they immediately called the other two fellow villagers to work together. Thinking that there are more people will not be bullied.

They do handicraft work, not only can draw candy figures, but also pinch candy figures. Usually carry the burden through the streets and alleys to sell candy, and the business is quite prosperous.

These craftsmen themselves are also from the past, and seeing that Chi Fei has to come out to beg for a living at such a young age, they all feel that it is not easy for him, and they are very kind to him.

The two who lived in the west room and the south study room respectively were single readers.

Among them, the one who lived in the west ear room was said to be a Xiucai, surnamed Fang, about twenty-five or six years old. I have been living here for almost two years, second only to the three craftsmen.

Fang Xiucai was wearing a cloth robe, his face was pale and his expression was serious. When he heard that Chi Fei was a new resident who had just moved in and lived in the back room, a look of disdain immediately appeared in his eyes.

He took the snack with a cold expression, then thanked him perfunctorily, and finally closed the door on the pretext that he wanted to read.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Chi Fei knew in his heart that this person could not be acquainted.

The last person to visit was the scholar who lived in the south study, who had moved in not long ago.

I thought that the other party would be as eye-catching as Fang Xiucai, but I didn't expect that the person was very good, with a smile on his face, easy to speak, and a young man with an extraordinarily lively personality.

He is much younger than Fang Xiucai, only seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome, fair-skinned, brightly dressed, and has the luxury of a rich young master, which is really a little out of place here.

He claimed to be surnamed Jane and was a native of the capital. Seeing the dim sum that Chi Fei gave him, he took it very generously, "Great, it just so happens that I'm a little hungry, thank you." ”

This relaxed and casual attitude made Chi Fei quite fond of him.

After wiping his body with water at night, Chi Fei sat at the second-hand desk he had just bought in loose clothes, then turned on the oil lamp, sorted out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to conceive a new novel.

What is most important in a successful novel, of course, is the most important sense of substitution.

Only by allowing readers to truly substitute their feelings into the characters of the novel can only make people have a strong sympathy with the development of the plot and attract readers to keep reading.

Xianxia novels are a theme that has never appeared before in this era, not only new, but also strange.

Writing a novel about something that has never appeared before is a great challenge for any author.

The chances of failure are much higher than the chances of success.

Because I haven't seen or heard of it, it's hard to make people feel like it's too fake.

However, the danger and the benefit are often directly proportional, and the higher the risk, the greater the benefit.

If successful, it will create a whole new genre of fiction and make the book remembered by everyone.

For Chi Fei, even if he fails, it is just a waste of a month or two, so why not give it a try?

Compared with rookie authors who cross the river by feeling the stones, he has a huge advantage, that is, in his time, Xianxia novels have long been a mature genre of novels, and there are countless people who write them every year.

Although he has never written a Xianxia novel, he has also read several popular and successful works, and probably knows the various routines and writing methods in them.

Chi Fei didn't think about plagiarizing any work, and his self-esteem didn't allow him to do such a bad thing. At most, he just learned the routines inside.

In Xianxia novels, the most important thing is to construct a convincing world view, otherwise it is easy for people to watch and play.

Unlike modern readers, they have long accepted the various settings of Xianxia novels. They don't think about whether it's true or not at the beginning, they only focus on the characters and the plot inside.

On the contrary, in this era, because there are no real Xianxia novels, if the world of cultivating immortals is written very straightforwardly from the beginning, it is difficult for ordinary readers to have a sense of substitution.

It will only be seen as a myth like listening to a legend, and will not really be substituted for it. To put it simply, there is no reading foundation and reading atmosphere.

Since he wants to be the first person in Xianxia novels in this era, Chi Fei decided to write from the perspective of an ordinary person, so that readers will be more receptive.

So in terms of character design, Chi Fei set the protagonist as a child from an ordinary family.

There are two advantages to this, first: it is easy to create a sense of substitution.

Because most readers are ordinary people, setting the protagonist as an ordinary person will make it easier for readers to project their feelings onto the protagonist and follow the protagonist with sadness or joy.

Second: If the protagonist is still a child, there is greater plasticity and growth.

A person who started learning art from a young age, and a person who only started learning art as an adult, everyone will think that the art from elementary school will definitely be better, after all, the degree of accumulation is not the same. This is common sense for all.

As for the supporting roles, they can appear one by one as the plot unfolds.

If necessary, you can also let the more important supporting characters lead to the side plot.

A truly grand and magnificent Xianxia novel can't be supported by the protagonist alone. The stories behind the various supporting characters and what they do are also an important part.

It's not uncommon to have some wonderful supporting characters who are even more popular than the main characters.

With a general idea, Chi unofficially began to write an outline of the story.

At the beginning of the story, it starts with a small fishing village.

There are just over 100 households in this small fishing village, and the village has been fishing for generations.

The protagonist is the child of an ordinary fisherman in the village, who is only seven years old this year.

The protagonist's mother used to be the maid of a large family, and she was fortunate enough to read for a few years, so she not only could write, but her knowledge was also different from that of ordinary women.

Although the family is poor and unable to read, the protagonist has been reading and reading with his mother since he was three years old, so his speech and behavior are different from those of other children in the village, and he is often praised by adults for being polite and talkative.

Perhaps because of this, the other children in the village did not want to play with him and deliberately isolated him.

When the protagonist was 6 years old, his mother died of illness, which made the protagonist extremely painful, and often woke up crying in the middle of the night because he missed his mother.

The death of his wife makes the protagonist's father very uncomfortable, and looking at his young son, he decides to earn more money, so that his son has the opportunity to go to a private school for a few years, and then it is better to find a job in the city, so that he will not be a fisherman for the rest of his life. So he went out to sea day and night to fish, hoping to catch more fish and sell them for money.
