"Mighty and eternal!"

Seeing a huge withered claw slapping down, Gu Ming didn't dodge or dodge, and shouted four words with his tongue.

He only drank one slur, but the sound echoed in the sky over and over again like an echo in the valley.

As if struck by lightning, the zombie hurriedly withdrew its claws and held its head, and let out a strange roar that pierced the eardrums.

"There is a lot of help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust!"

Gu Ming continued to chant, and the Qinglian Sword in his hand also emitted a long buzz, the sword body trembled slightly, and the blue light loomed.

The zombie finally sensed a crisis, and in fright, it stopped attacking, and turned around to escape.

Just, can you escape?

"The dragon is in the sky!"

Gu Ming's figure jumped high.

This move can be described as accumulating all his strength, his body soared into the air, and he volleyed down in the air, and his momentum was like a rainbow and slashed out a sword.

"Buzz!"

The sword light shone, and a clear sword roar sounded in mid-air, like a dragon's roar, and the momentum went straight to the clouds.

"Poof!"

The shadow of the sword swept by, and a black shadow rose into the sky.

It was the giant head of a zombie.

This situation made everyone stunned, but they forgot what they were afraid of.

[Mission completed]

[40 points obtained]

As soon as the zombie fell to the ground, Gu Ming subconsciously submitted the task.

This is the task that the zombie received before it appeared, and since the points are in hand, it means that the zombie has been completely hung up.

However, zombies are too evil to be left unchecked, and they may one day resurge.

So far, Gu Ming can only find water by himself against the wind, and he can't stop the fire, so he turned his head sideways and shouted at the workers who were still stunned: "Prepare some firewood to burn this thing." ”

"Yes!"

The foreman subconsciously responded.

Then he perked up, and shouted at the crowd: "In Gu Gongzi, don't be afraid, everyone should work hard." ”

"Quick, prepare firewood!"

"With Gu Gongzi here, don't be afraid of any demons and monsters, Gu Gongzi will protect everyone."

For a time, a group of workers were full of enthusiasm and threw away their fears to collect firewood everywhere.

They witnessed Gu Ming killing zombies, so in their minds, Gu Ming became an existence of immortals.

Tang Bohu, Ma Yun and others also gathered around one after another......

For a time, all kinds of praise and exclamations were endless.

When the fire was raging, Gu Ming summoned some wind to help the fire, and burned the zombie, including the coffin that had been shattered before, to ashes.

After experiencing this, in the minds of Tang Bohu and others, Gu Ming became even more mysterious and elusive.

Could it be true, as the people rumored, that the immortals descended to earth?

At the same time, after seeing Gu Ming kill the zombies with his own eyes, the workers on the construction site were even more fearless, energetic, and enthusiastic.

……

Next, Tang Bohu and others stayed in Guobei County for two more days, and then they said goodbye together.

Ma Yun stayed, because he still had something to discuss with Gu Ming.

"Brother Gu, the current momentum of your books can be described as a sesame blossoming ...... At present, the two books with the most momentum are Dream of Red Mansions and The Story of the West Chamber.

However, in Yuhang Mansion, the White Snake Legend is the best.

The reason may also be guessed, the legend about the White Lady is widely spread in the Yuhang area.

In fact, there have been people who have written this legend into a book and circulated it in the form of a manuscript.

However, its quality is not flattering, so it is not widely spread.

This time, thanks to Brother Gu, it was sorted out and processed and printed into a book, which caused quite a stir in Yuhang Mansion.

Only 5,000 copies were printed in the first batch of junior brothers, and as soon as the news spread, there were a huge number of people who came to buy books......

Therefore, the younger brother hurriedly ordered the workshop to print 20,000 more copies......

In short, you can rest assured that I have already discussed with Shopkeeper Wang about the promotion of the booklet, and I am going to carry it out in a variety of ways.

It's more than the storytellers all over the streets and alleys, and the theater troupe......"

Indeed, for the current environment, it is undoubtedly the fastest and most widely disseminated way to spread through storytellers and opera, which Gu Ming has long tasted.

It's just that it was limited to Guobei County before, but now it's different, according to Ma Yun's plan, it will be promoted step by step in Jiangnan, including the capital, after Xu Jiaying's many efforts, it has achieved initial results.

Then the next step will be to slowly radiate the surrounding provinces.

Of course, Gu Ming didn't want to interfere with the specific plan, but just gave some suggestions appropriately.

These suggestions are based on the essence of the marketing philosophy of the previous life, and they can be described as golden ideas.

For Ma Yun, these concepts are undoubtedly quite advanced, and at the same time, he can't help but be overjoyed.

After talking about sales and publicity, Ma Yun found the account book.

I really don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, Gu Ming never expected that under Ma Yun's management, the sales of several books and volumes had reached 120,000 copies in a short period of time.

This is much better than when he made a small fuss in Guobei County.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

In the past, although the sales volume was small, the profit was high.

But after accumulating it, it is still cost-effective now, after all, the amount is large. The important thing is to save time and worry, just hand in the manuscript and wait for the money to be collected.

After some accounting, Gu Ming finally divided it into more than 4,300 taels of silver.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the silver taels for the construction of the academy, and the previous savings are enough.

After settling the silver taels, Gu Ming was in a good mood, and took out the manuscript of the Dream of Red Mansions that had been written long ago and handed it to Ma Yun.

"This is the manuscript of the second volume of Dream of Red Mansions, you have to hurry up and print it for sale."

"Huh? Written again so quickly? Ma Yun was a little surprised.

If he knew that Gu Ming had written more than half of the third volume, he wouldn't know what he would be surprised about.

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to care about these details, in short, you have to print them as quickly as possible, but the quality must not be sloppy."

To tell you the truth, this is what the Queen Mother is waiting to see. ”

"The Emperor...... Stepmother? ”

Ma Yun's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard.

"That's right!"

Gu Ming nodded, and said what Fu Tianqiu said last time.

"Oh my God!" Ma Yun looked shocked and excited: "No wonder Brother Xu's progress in the capital is smooth, even the queen is paying attention to the book written by Brother Gu, and she also sent someone to urge her, which is really enviable." ”

In this regard, Gu Ming was not complacent.

To put it bluntly, these books themselves were handed down in the previous life, and it is not strange that they can be popular, but it is strange if they are not popular. It's just that it takes a certain amount of time.

"Brother Yun, in fact, this matter is divided into two sides, there is a good side and a bad side."

"Why?"

"These harem ladies are moody, in case they are unhappy and lose a few words, or are trying to make things difficult, do you think it's still a good thing?"

Hearing this, Ma Yun's face couldn't help but change: "This is a problem...... But it's unlikely. ”

"Just because it's unlikely doesn't mean it's impossible. Okay, don't talk about this, it's not me who drove you away, you'd better hurry up and go back to Yuhang Mansion to urge the workshop to open the print, and send someone to send fifty copies to Master Fu's mansion as soon as possible.

Remember, the money will not be collected, but it will be credited to me. ”

"No, no, no, this can't be done, the silver can not be collected, this account is still paid by the younger brother, and I can't lose you."

"Whatever you want, there's not much money anyway......"

For dozens of taels of silver, Gu Ming was too lazy to be polite.

After a few pleasantries, Ma Yun got up and said goodbye.

"Well, I won't keep you, and I will have the opportunity to go to Yuhang Mansion to find you for a drink again."

"It's a deal!"

……

The first snow fell, and the palace was covered with silver makeup.

The queen sat in the dormitory, with a brazier at her feet, and a copy of "The Legend of the White Snake" in her hand to read with relish.

This book of the White Snake is also specially equipped with a few tunes and music scores, which is convenient for some people who understand music and rhythm to sing.

For example, the queen mother, while watching, couldn't help humming a tune inside:

"If there is no rain in the sky, there will be no umbrella on the earth. I miss the West Lake, the willows fly and the snow drifts smoke. The vast sea of people, the heart has no shore, and there is no resentment after a thousand years of cultivation, and ten thousand years.

If the heart is disturbed, the pain can be seen. Tears drowned out the sight, turning flames into the red sky.

Cut constantly, and the front edge is messed up. No matter how hard it is, my heart remains the same, and I don't want to be a fairy.

If the water is lovely, the water is full of golden mountains......"

The people of the world think that the queen is a collection of thousands of favors, and the mother of the world, what kind of majesty and happiness?

In fact, how many people understand the emptiness, loneliness, and coldness in her heart?

First of all, she is a woman, and she is also a versatile woman, and secondly, she is the queen of the world.

Although there are countless slaves, the loneliness in my heart is irreparable by a luxurious life.

The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards, countless beauties, and the raindrops are all ...... Therefore, many times a month may not necessarily come to spend a night with her.

What about a huge dormitory, with so many palace maids and eunuchs? If there is a lack of a man, there is a lack of warmth and coldness in the world.

To whom should I speak to my heart?

Fortunately, in these days, Gu Ming wrote several books that fit the taste of the queen's mother, so that her empty heart has a support, and whenever she has free time every day, she will hold a book and read it carefully, so as to pass the time.

After a while, a palace maid hurriedly walked in from outside with a few books in her hand.

"Yu Niangniang, Master Fu sent a few books."

"Oh?" Hearing this, the queen couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be a dream of red mansions?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Great, quick, bring it up."

After waiting for so long, I finally waited for the sequel, and the queen mother was full of joy.

"Yes!"

The palace maid stepped forward and carefully handed the book to the queen.

Picking up the book that exuded the scent of ink, the queen couldn't help but sigh with disgust: "This Gu Xie Yuan is really, if the palace doesn't urge it, maybe it hasn't been printed yet." ”

The palace maid couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "In this case, it is better for the mother to send someone to urge again, maybe you can see the third volume again before the year." ”

The queen couldn't help but smile as well: "How can writing a book be as easy as you think, besides, I'm too anxious for fear that he will be perfunctory, so let him write slowly." ”

"But Niangniang, didn't Gu Jieyuan write the legend of the White Snake and the overlord Farewell Concubine these days? According to the slave maid, this fully shows that Gu Xie Yuan is full of energy, and Wen Si bucket ......"

Vance bucket?

The queen was speechless: "Xiaohuan, that's called Wensi Quanyong, not Wensi bucket." ”

"Huh?" Xiaohuan blushed and said embarrassedly: "Thank you for mentioning it...... In fact, what the slave maid means is that Gu Xie Yuan can't take it seriously and finish writing the Dream of Red Mansions first?

If you want the slave to say, the mother might as well send someone to arrest him to the palace, eat and drink well, and let him concentrate on finishing the writing before letting him go home......"

Queen: "......"

What's in this girl's head?

……

"Ahh

Gu Ming gave a rare sneeze.

At this time, he was accompanying He Yongliang and Ning Caichen to sit in the pavilion in the backyard of the study, admiring the snow and drinking at the same time.

"What's wrong, Wenxing? Aren't you physically strong? Why do you get cold when it snows? ”

He Yongliang couldn't help but quip.

"On the side, it's probably someone who is speaking ill of me behind my back...... By the way, speaking of which, Dong Sheng hasn't seen anyone for a few days, and he didn't say when he would come back? ”

He Yongliang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That kid can't say for sure, when he left, he said that he was going to visit a friend in Linjiang County, and said that he would come back in two or three days, but he didn't see anyone for several days." Maybe I like which girl is reluctant to leave......"

It was a joke, but I didn't expect He Yongliang to say it.

Dong Sheng originally went to visit a classmate who had not seen him for a long time, and according to the original plan, it would be two or three days at most, after all, Linjiang County was not far away, and the county was next to the county, and it was only a few dozen miles.

As the old saying goes, plans don't change as fast as they do.

Dong Sheng's classmate is named Lu Wei, who is also a showman, a little famous in Linjiang County, often writing and painting for others, and living a small and wealthy life.

The two haven't seen each other for almost two years, and they are very affectionate when they meet.

played in Linjiang County for two days, and on the morning of the third day, when Dong Sheng planned to return, he didn't expect two women to come to the courtyard at this time.

The blink of an eye when the second daughter entered the hospital, Dong Sheng felt his eyes light up, and his eyes glanced straight at the woman who looked like a young lady and couldn't turn away anymore.

Lu Wei didn't notice Dong Sheng's gaffe, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and arched his hand: "It turned out to be a girl from Liancheng, I don't know what happened to come to the cold house?" ”

Yahuan, who was standing on the side, said: "My young lady hasn't painted a portrait for a long time, and I want to ask you to paint a portrait." ”

Hearing this, Lu Wei couldn't help but be happy: "It's a coincidence, Liancheng girl, let me introduce you to you, this is my classmate and friend Dong Sheng." ”

"Liancheng girl, please take a seat!"

Dong Sheng came back to his senses and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Thank you, Mr. Dong."

"Liancheng girl, my classmate is not an ordinary person, but a well-known Danqing master in Guobei County, and the illustrations in Gu Jieyuan's book are from his pen."

"Really?"

Liancheng's eyes lit up.

Dong Sheng smiled reservedly and nodded.

That's not to brag at all, as for now, almost all of the illustrations in several books are drawn by him.

"Miss, it's really good, it's better to let Dong Gongzi help you draw one."

"This ......" Liancheng subconsciously looked at Dong Sheng and said softly: "I just don't know if Dong Gongzi is willing to deign to paint a portrait of the little girl?" ”

Dong Sheng was overjoyed, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, of course I am willing, it is Xiaosheng's honor to be able to paint for Aunt Lian." ”

At this time, he had already forgotten all about going back, and his eyes, heart, and mind were full of the shadows of Liancheng......
