"Oh, that's good, let's go in and have a look. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
There are a lot more people in Sixian Yuan than two months ago, and there are a lot of them that are not in Fusu's expectations, Fusu secretly said where did Song Feng find so many people to compile the "Pangu Sutra", there are too many monks in this world, no wonder it made the Qin Dynasty a mess of black smoke and miasma.
These people didn't pay attention to Fusu when they saw it, and did their own thing, Fusu stopped Fang Gang from introducing himself to everyone, and walked through the courtyard silently.
"Childe, you're here." Song Feng was overjoyed when he saw Fusu, and it seemed that he had been waiting for Fusu to come to see him.
Several people who were with Song Feng also saluted Fusu together, observing Fusu curiously.
"Why, Mr. Song must have something happy." Fusu responded, "I don't know what these gentlemen are called?" ”
Song Feng was slightly complacent, he always felt powerless to compile the "Pangu Sutra" according to Fusu's requirements, but after the few friends he invited arrived, the progress was greatly accelerated, and it didn't take two months to compile a book, of course he was very happy.
"These are all my friends, this is Peng Dingling from Chu State, Fan Wei from Qi State, Ma Surin from Yan State, this is Su Changxing from South Korea, Yingchuan County, all of them are famous Fangshi in the world." Several people listened to Song Feng's introduction, and they were all a little embarrassed.
Fusu didn't care about Song Feng's false words, and greeted several people one by one.
"This Pangu Sutra was written by the five of you?" Listening to Song Feng's words, the people outside seemed to have nothing to do with him, and they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"yes, just the five of us."
"Admire, admire." Fusu complimented casually.
Song Feng picked up a book from the table and handed it to Fusu and said, "Childe, this is the Pangu Sutra that we have compiled, please take a look at it." ”
Fusu took it and held it in his hand, didn't open it, weighed it, felt very thin, and there was a gap with his expectations, so he asked with a smile: "Mr. Song won't cut corners in order to get out." ”
Song Feng hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare, the son doesn't care about the offense of the villain, but eats and raises it well, it's too late for the villain to be grateful, where will he want to get out." ”
"The Pangu Sutra did not cut corners, the things mentioned by the son were all written in it, and the son would know it at a glance."
Fusu didn't take Song Feng's gratitude seriously, and opened the "Pangu Sutra" according to his words, and looked at it carefully.
"Heaven and earth are endless, the universe is helpless, Pangu is born and ......" Fusu read the first sentence, his brows furrowed, what he wanted was not an ancient classic, but a mythical story that ordinary people could understand, but thought that this was compiled by Song Feng and others in two months, so he continued to read it.
As the pages of the book continued to turn, Fusu's face became more and more unsightly, and after reading the whole book, Fusu was silent for a long time, making Song Feng and the others who were full of anticrisation next to him nervous.
Fusu spat out a turbid breath, glanced at Song Feng, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "The writing is good, I can see that several gentlemen have worked hard." ”
This "Pangu Sutra" is just as Song Feng said, everything mentioned by Fusu is written on it, Pangu was born in chaos, created Nuwa, created people, ignited sages, sheltered mortals, and made gods win the government. However, the whole book is written in four or six prose scripts, not like mythological stories, but like an official-like article made of rhetoric, which is more suitable for singing praises of virtue. For charlatans like Song Feng and them, it should have taken a lot of effort to write such a book. But it was still far from Fusu's requirements, Song Feng just recorded what Fusu said to him that day and sorted it out, even if the rhetoric was gorgeous, but Fusu was still boring to read, and there was no attraction at all.
"It's just this book, and it could be a little better." Fusu returned the book to Song Feng.
"The "Pangu Sutra" I want doesn't need to be written in Chinese, let alone beautiful words, just write in the vernacular, don't worry about too many words, not enough paper, I can supply unlimited paper, use as much as you want." In Song Feng's overwhelmed expression, Fusu first pointed out the most obvious problem with the Pangu Sutra.
"It's best to write like it's telling a story, not as brief as "Spring and Autumn", but full of interest, so that people want to read it and continue to read it, and it's not enough to read it once, but also want to read it a second or third time."
Seeming to feel that his requirements were a little too high, Fusu paused, "Of course, this requirement may be a bit high, you can take your time, and now the goal is to change this book into a vernacular, flesh it out, and write at least a million words." ”
"It's a bit of a high order, no, it's very high!" Song Feng thought silently.
"For example, when I write about Chiyou, I want to write about the harm that war has brought to the whole human race, which was originally good, there was food and drink, but after a battle, many people died, no one planted the land, no one did business, there was no food, clothing, housing and transportation, and life became very difficult, so as to show the preciousness of peace; In addition to Chiyou, there are also floods, droughts, earthquakes, and diseases, which can be Pangu's punishment for certain human beings. ”
"How much effort Pangu has made to save mankind, first sending down disasters to warn them, and then enlightening the prophets to bring peace to people and eliminate disasters, what Pangu said and did through the prophets, what people should follow, what they should be grateful for, what they should get rid of, and what they should oppose."
For another example, in this book, it is said that Pangu enlightened Lao Tan, so Lao Tan wrote the "Tao Te Ching", which cannot be simply ended, and how Lao Tan was lit up should be written clearly, whether it is because Lao Tan has done good deeds and accumulated virtues, or because Lao Tan believes in Pangu, or because Pangu was moved by Lao Tan's sincerity; I also have to write how much effort Lao Tan spent thinking about and how much effort he made to write the "Tao Te Ching" in order to complete Pangu's entrustment, whether the "Tao Te Ching" is part of Pangu's thoughts, and the fallacies in the "Pangu Sutra" should be deleted; I also want to write how grateful Lao Tan is to Pangu and how much effort he has made to make people believe in Pangu; What principles should people learn from the Tao Te Ching; It is also necessary to write that because of Lao Tan's contribution to mankind, more people have understood Pangu's kindness, Pangu let Lao Tan enter heaven, enjoy a good life, and now he is still blessed by heaven for mankind. Others, such as Kong Qiu, Mo Zhai, and Wang Xu, are all in heaven. ”
Of course, Pangu is benevolent, that's the point, and the purpose of this book is to get people to believe in Pangu. Believe in Pangu in order to enter heaven and enjoy a permanent happy life, a happy life should be well described, there can be money and wealth, delicacies from the mountains and seas, beautiful women, no poverty, war, disease, anyway, as long as the people can't ask for it in reality, there will be heaven without what the people hate, and hell is just the opposite, if you don't believe in Pangu, you will go to hell, you will go to hell if you don't follow the precepts of Pangu, and you will go to hell if you do bad things. ”
