Chapter VI. "Immortal Quest".

Write down what is in your mind. (Full-text novel reading, all in.1. (1. Xuewang) {}

This sudden flash of thought made Xiao Mo think of another way to make money.

That's writing a book!

Unlike all the literati of this era, who aspired to write books and biography for thousands of years, Xiao Mo's own accumulation of knowledge has not yet reached that level, and what he wants to write now is not an academic article such as a five-book lecture note or a four-book commentary, but a story biography similar to a later novel.

Of course, Xiao Mo has no intention of plagiarizing the four famous novels, not to mention that the four famous books have too many things that imply reality, and the most important thing is that Xiao Mo does not have an incomplete memory of the plots of the four famous novels, and Xiao Mo is not like in the future because of himself, the four famous books will become the three famous novels.

In Xiao Mo's view, although the Chu Dynasty has been prosperous for a hundred years, after all, it is in the feudal period, from the royal family and nobles to the common people, there are not too many entertainment activities, and the story form of the novel is still in its infancy at this time, and because of the prosperity of culture, there are many literate people in the Chu Dynasty.

At the same time, the printing industry was relatively mature in this era, and although there were no regulations such as the Patent Law and the Copyright Law, out of respect for the readers, if booksellers wanted to publish the works of a certain literati, in most cases, they would seek the opinions of the literati themselves in advance.

As for Xiao Mo, in his last life, he was in an era of Internet popularization and information explosion, and he may not have read the four famous novels, but he has browsed countless online novels, even if he can't write them, he can piece together the novels he has read before, and he can piece together a story that is very attractive to people in this era.

And Xiao Mo now lives in Yunzhou, where the business atmosphere is extremely strong, and the business sense of the businessmen here is even more famously keen, and it should be possible to find a printing merchant to publish it.

The most important thing is that if he writes a story and sells it in a book, Xiao Mo can completely replace his name with a pen name, and he doesn't have to worry about exposing his identity because of too much exposure, even if he becomes famous unexpectedly in the future, those powerful people who are extremely dangerous to Xiao Mo will not pay too much attention to him.

Of course, Xiao Mo will not directly transfer those novels and stories of later generations, because for this era, many views and ideas in later novels are too deviant and shocking, but what Xiao Mo wants to write is a story whose values are in line with this era and the plot is as attractive as that of later novels.

Thinking of this, a trace of excitement flashed in Xiao Mo's eyes.

If this idea succeeds in the end, then Xiao Mo can rely on writing books to let him, Xiao Shenyan, and Wang Jirui get rid of the current poor life, even if it fails, there is no loss for Xiao Mo, at most it is just to practice calligraphy.

However, after making the decision, Xiao Mo was not in a hurry to start writing, but sat behind the desk, closed his eyes, and silently sorted out his thoughts.

Whether a story can be liked by others, in addition to the fit of values, also needs to express what most people in this era yearn for.

And what do the people of the Chu Dynasty yearn for?

Gain fame in the examination, enter the dynasty as an official, and rise to the top step by step.

Of course, this is what most people in the Chu Dynasty yearn for, but Xiao Mo does not plan to write this theme, firstly, this kind of subject matter is difficult to wield, and secondly, this kind of subject matter is too easy to conceal reality, even if Xiao Mo writes carefully, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will consciously regard the villain in the novel as a satire on themselves after reading it, and then become angry and ashamed.

Xiao Mo knew very well that the literary prison was not something unique to the Qing Dynasty, and in another time and space, Su Shi at the same time was also convicted of writing.

For Xiao Mo, before there is no power for self-preservation, everything needs to be done with careful self-preservation.

"Well, then, there's only religious themes."

In contemplation, Xiao Mo muttered to himself.

The religion of the Chu Dynasty flourished, and there were countless believers in each of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and the current emperor and many nobles of the Chu Dynasty had been pursuing alchemy and immortality for many years, which was almost a well-known secret, and even many ordinary people had added a lot of delusions to the Tao of becoming immortals.

The most important thing is that writing this kind of story is not only easy to wave, but also does not have any connection with reality.

After deciding, Xiao Mo no longer hesitated, stood up, and began to write quickly.

I have read a lot of online novels in my previous life, and after my thoughts are clarified, I don't need to think hard about it, many cliché plots that have been used countless times in later lives have been written on paper by Xiao Mo.

Of course, Xiao Mo is writing in small letters, rather than using the more skilled "Xiao Ti", which is a means to hide his identity in order to prevent accidents that may occur in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the next three days, Xiao Shenyan and Wang Jirui were surprised to see that Xiao Mo had obviously spent a lot more time practicing calligraphy than before, but the waste paper left after practicing calligraphy was carefully preserved and not allowed to be viewed by the two.

What Xiao Mo wrote is based on the Chu Dynasty as the background, imitating the format of "Journey to the West", describing the story of an ordinary young man who was taught immortal law by an immortal by chance, and began to ask for immortals.

In order to conform to the concept of the Chu Dynasty, Xiao Mo also deliberately added a lot of family affection, loyalty to the country, cultural prosperity and other plots in the story, and when describing the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, in order not to touch the anger of the believers of the two major sects, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are described with great brilliance.

In short, Xiao Mo wrote it very carefully, this is a story that is completely in line with the values of this era.

Three days later, a story that seemed extremely vulgar to later generations was born under Xiao Mo's pen. But Xiao Mo believes that as long as there is an opportunity, this story will definitely fascinate many people of this era.

Of course, Xiao Mo only wrote one-third, about forty or fifty thousand words, and more than 100 sheets of paper were thickly folded into a stack.

After doing this, Xiao Mo let out a sigh of relief, shook his somewhat sore wrist, and then Xiao Mo picked up the story he had written, read it carefully three times before and after, and after making sure that there was no plot that violated the concept of the times or would cause trouble for himself, he finally set out to bind this stack of stories into a book.

pasted a few pieces of rice paper together to make a cover, and then Xiao Mo took the pen again and wrote the four words "Immortal Dao Quest" as the name of the story.

When writing the pen name, Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment, and then wrote down the words "self-disturbing layman".

Looking at the crudely bound novel in his hand, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile slightly, put it in his sleeve, and looked up to see that it was almost dusk.

At this time, Xiao Shenyan should still be teaching outside, and Xiao Mo can also take the opportunity to go outside to see if any booksellers will be interested in his story.

"Ji Rui ......"

With Xiao Mo's shout, Wang Jirui soon appeared in front of him.

"Young Master, what's the matter?"

Looking at Wang Jirui's inquiring eyes, Xiao Mo smiled and said, "You go out with me." ”
