Chapter 53: It's a showdown, I'm going to take the test!
One Thousand and One Nights, also known as "Arabian Nights".
In Gu Ming's previous life, this book can be called a strange book, and it has a great influence on a global scale.
Some of these stories are well-known, such as Aladdin's Magic Lamp, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
Most of the content is related to the poor people and is quite close to life.
Gu Ming looked at the required points, exactly twenty.
Then change this one.
He changed the book for several reasons.
Two of the most important are these:
First: a novel with a foreign flavor like this will inevitably arouse a sense of novelty among many people.
Second, the number of words is small, and each story is independent, so it can be made into a separate comic book at that time.
Now that the study has been set up, Gu Ming naturally wants to run it hotly, so he will live up to his efforts.
After changing the book, subconsciously click on the task interface...... Sure enough, the main quest was refreshed.
[Fiction Creation: One Thousand and One Nights]
[a request: I print it after the finish]
[Note: Conditions are not limited]
[If the mission is completed, the corresponding experience points will be rewarded according to the completion situation, and there will be a chance to get random reward items]
After reading the task requirements, Gu Mingzhi felt powerless to complain.
It's good to really qualify, at least have a small goal.
Now, there is no restriction on the conditions directly, and experience will be rewarded according to the situation...... The dog system is getting more and more sophisticated.
Of course, you have to take the task of complaining again.
At the beginning, Gu Ming also praised it, thinking that this system is more humane, without the inexplicable punishments of other people's systems.
For example, if the task is not completed within the deadline, the small stick will be one inch shorter, and so on.
Later, I learned that no punishment is the strongest punishment.
If you don't pick up the main quest or don't complete it, then you can't count on the next new quest.
ZZZZzzzzzz@^@
After a moment of thought, Gu Ming subconsciously began to flip through the One Thousand and One Nights that had just been changed.
At a cursory glance, some details should have been modified to better fit the current world context.
Then there's nothing to worry about, start creating!
Uh-huh!
Spread out the paper, take out a small calligraphy pen that does not need to be dipped in ink, take a deep breath, and start to write the dragon snake......
This writing is an all-nighter.
It wasn't until dawn that he put away his brush and walked into the courtyard to move his muscles.
"Gu Gongzi, the county magistrate asked you to go to the county ......."
As soon as he finished washing, a servant came outside to deliver a message.
"Oh, got it!"
Gu Ming responded, and he had already guessed in his heart that it must be for last night's incident.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the county office, Nie Hongshu looked at him with a strange look.
"Ahem, Master Nie......"
"Virtuous son-in-law, there is no one else here, so you don't need to be called an adult."
"Well, I don't know what the father-in-law is looking for his son-in-law?"
"Don't pretend, right? You lost it last night, and finally destroyed the harmful cat demon.
But I'm a little curious, what kind of method are you using?
I heard the report from the official that you used a brush to write and draw, and you destroyed the cat demon with a few words? ”
Gu Ming responded: "That's right, I also told Xiao Qian before, this is because I was enlightened by a master in my dream and realized some demon removal techniques......"
Regarding this statement, Nie Hongshu seems to believe it or not.
But he couldn't think of anything else.
Last time, Nie Xiaoqian did mention it to him, saying that Gu Ming solved the haunted incident in the courtyard alone.
At that time, he thought it was just a coincidence, but this time it was a group of officials who witnessed Gu Ming's demon extermination, so there was nothing to doubt about it.
"Well, this time you helped solve the strange case, which is a great favor for me, what reward do you want?"
Gu Ming smiled and said, "It's my duty for my son-in-law to help my father-in-law, what kind of reward are you talking about?" ”
"One yard to one yard...... In this way, the official will reward you with ten taels of silver in the name of the government, and then post a notice to help you make a name for yourself. ”
Even so, Gu Ming no longer pushed back, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Lord Nie!" ”
"One more thing, before Lord Goshi left, I told him about your situation, and he suggested that you go to the provincial government in August to take the township test.
Whether you can win the lift or not, you have to give it a try, right? ”
"This ......" Gu Ming pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, then the little son-in-law will fight it at that time!" ”
In fact, he naturally wanted to take a test in his heart.
Once promoted, the status and fame will inevitably be greatly improved. Correspondingly, you will also receive the addition of invisible luck.
For Gu Ming, this is the most important thing.
After all, although the world of Liaozhai is a world of spirits, it is still the imperial power that rules the world.
For example, in the mythological stories of the previous life, she was as strong as Nuwa Niangniang, and the palace was inscribed with a crooked poem by the king of Xu, and she didn't do it easily under the thunder and anger.
In the end, the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb were sent to cause trouble to Yin Shang and destroy his dynasty.
The reason why I don't do it myself is also because I am limited by the rules of heaven.
The human realm seems to be weak, but it is the foundation of the Three Realms.
Like a tower.
The lowest level of the human world is the base of the tower.
Once the base of the tower is destroyed, how can the tower remain?
Therefore, whether it is Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, or even demons, they cannot avoid the red world.
Immortals occasionally have to go down to the earth to travel and spend the reincarnation tribulation.
The goblins will also enter the world to survive the red dust tribulation.
For example, the White Lady, if it weren't for the Red Dust Tribulation, she would have fallen in love with the little white-faced Xu Xian?
What she said to repay her kindness was actually just an excuse, with her mana and ability, sending a few thousand taels of silver to Xu Xian was completely trivial, enough for Xu Xian to marry a few wives and concubines.
To put it bluntly, whether it is a demon, a human, or even the gods and Buddhas, they are inseparable from the word "luck".
Gu Ming still knew this in his heart.
It's just that he really doesn't have much confidence in the examination now.
"Well, very good, very good!"
Hearing that Gu Ming should come down, Nie Hongshu was relieved.
Then he added: "But you don't have any pressure, just go with the flow." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
"Well, by the way, I almost forgot, I have reported this case to the government office, and your name is also mentioned in it, so it can be regarded as a credit."
"Hehe, my father-in-law has a heart."
"Okay~" Nie Hongshu raised his hand: "It's nothing, you go back and do your business first." ”
"Then the son-in-law will take his leave."
Gu Ming said goodbye and left.
After returning to the store, I took the time to start reading some books related to the imperial examination.
It doesn't matter if it can pass the test, at least I've worked hard.
Two days later, the county government really sent someone to send ten taels of silver, and at the same time posted a notice at the door of the county government.
However, in order to avoid causing panic among the people, the notice did not explicitly say that it was a cat demon.
At the same time, Gu Ming was also specifically mentioned, and praised it in the name of the government.
Even so, there are many people among them.
For a time, the legend of "Gu Xiucai's exorcism" was circulating everywhere in the teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys.
It's also a fame.
After noon that day, He Yongliang returned triumphantly from Jinhua Mansion.
Not only did he successfully return a batch of books related to the imperial examination, but he also brought back a piece of good news.
"Everyone stood firm, and after my three-inch lobbying, I finally moved the four booksellers in Jinhua Mansion and ordered a total of 900 copies of the West Chamber......
