Chapter 45: The Soul
Yang Fan was worried about whether the prescription would be useful, and his part-time job at night was frowning and absent-minded, but fortunately, because today was Monday, the convenience store in the early morning was very deserted, and there was no chaos.
Yang Yuan looked at the convenience store very deserted, and while playing with his mobile phone, he muttered, "Fortunately, Mr. Liu's daughter has a cold and asks for leave today, otherwise in this case, he will definitely have nothing to do and ask us to do some chores, he is most unaccustomed to being idle." ”
Mr. Liu was referring to Liu Ning, because he was in charge of too much, Yang Yuan gave him the nickname "Mr. Liu", Li Xiao on the side heard Yang Yuan's complaints, but he smiled awkwardly and did not respond, he looked at Yang Fan and said
"I read Brother Fan's novel last night, and it's very well written. ”
"Huh?" Yang Fan didn't react when he heard Li Xiao's words, he originally thought that Li Xiao said that reading his novel was just a polite gesture, but he didn't expect Li Xiaozhen to read it, Yang Fan scratched his head, and said casually with a little embarrassment, "Thank you for the compliment, do you have any comments on my novel?"
"I think Murong Aotian's characters can also be portrayed a little more deeply and diversely, and try to describe more deeply, now basically the characters of the protagonists of Xianxia novels are similar, readers are a little aesthetically tired when reading, and everyone likes to substitute themselves into the characters. Li Xiao heard Yang Fan's response and thought about it carefully. Then he replied in a whisper.
"Indeed, the protagonists of Xianxia novels are almost the same, either they are pretending to be arrogant and talented, or they are hard-working and hard-working. Yang Yuan on the side said disdainfully while playing with his mobile phone.
After listening to the words of the two, Yang Fan fell silent, although what they said was reasonable, but it was too late to modify the character of the character now. I have written more than 300,000 words, and the characters have basically been shaped.
"Is it too late to change now?" Yang Fan asked.
"That's right" Li Xiao scratched his head and frowned, and after a while, he continued to whisper
"Or Brother Fan, you can try to highlight the protagonist's personality through the description of the supporting role, and the protagonist is a young man with infinite growth..."
"According to me, now in Xianxia Fantasy City, what portrayal is needed, it's enough to watch cool, what's the use of portraying so many characters and personalities, it's better for me to slash you today, and I'll kill your whole family tomorrow It's as simple and brainless. Yang Yuan pursed his lips and took over the conversation.
"It's painful, but that kind of work only has a skeleton and no soul. Li Xiao retorted when he heard Yang Yuan's words.
"What soul do you want? Do you think this is a masterpiece? Online articles are a kind of fast food culture that makes people happy, what soul do you want, the author writes cool, and the reader just looks cool. Yang Yuan looked at Li Xiao with disdain.
As Yang Yuan said, some of today's online texts are not accepted by traditional literature, and a considerable part of the reason is that online texts are particularly empty and have no connotation.
Yang Fan listened to the quarrel between Yang Yuan and Li Xiao, he didn't stop him, he pondered the word soul repeatedly in his heart.
Yang Fan was still pondering the word soul until he came home from work and sat in front of the computer.
"Lan, what is the soul of the online text?" Yang Fan asked suspiciously.
"Huh" Hearing Yang Fan's question, Lan looked at Yang Fan in disbelief, but looking at Yang Fan's puzzled look, she thought about it and said
It's not easy to say, but the soul of a good book is to bring a kind of shock to the reader, let the reader think deeply, change the reader's mind, and let the reader change and learn from it. ”
Yang Fan nodded thoughtfully, he looked at the blank Word document on the computer screen, and fell into deep thought.
Today's update is an indispensable plot of the Xianxia fantasy martial arts waste material flow, the ring competition.
The plot of the competition in the ring is a link that tests the author's writing skills very much. Whether it is the description of the fight, or the details of the game and the impact of the game, it must be considered.
The climax of the ring competition is the semi-finals and finals, and if the protagonists and supporting characters are portrayed perfectly in these two stages, then this work will definitely be a masterpiece.
Yang Fan thought for half an hour, and then began to write
Murong Aotian participated in the internal martial arts competition as a supernumerary, and his supernumerary status attracted the attention of most of the elite disciples of the Ten Great Sects. Especially when he is still accompanied by the goddess Lotus Fairy and Li Qingshan. It caused everyone's speculation and jealousy.
Murong Aotian had already expected this situation, he only had the prize of the first place and the task of helping the store owner find someone in his eyes, he ignored the eyes of those people and went up to draw lots.
Writing this, Yang Fan stopped and began to think.
Generally, the first game of the Xianxia competition is to meet a weak chicken who is not strong and provocative, and then the other party says a bunch of nonsense, and then is quickly slapped in the face.
Yang Fan originally planned to write like this, after all, it was so cool and easy to write. But in his mind, the controversy between Li Xiao and Yang Yuan today has always surfaced. His inner struggle continued, and he didn't know how long it took for him to finally make a decision, he continued.
Murong Aotian drew the first opponent, it was Tian Feiyu, an inconspicuous ordinary disciple of the ten major sects, Tian Feiyu He didn't have much talent, but he was hard working, and the first battle between him and Murong Aotian caused many onlookers.
Everyone is not optimistic about that Tian Feiyu, they just want to speculate on Murong Aotian's strength through that Tian Feiyu, and there are also some well-informed people who know that Murong Aotian has defeated Ouyang Yunhai and Li Shu.
Everyone told that Tian Feiyu that he wanted him to stick to a few more moves, focus on defense, and expose Murong Aotian's strength as much as possible, including Tian Feiyu, his master, and the elite disciples of his sect.
The first battle between Tian Feiyu and Murong Aotian began, Tian Feiyu did not follow everyone's advice, but attacked with all his might, but the difference in strength was too big, and he was easily resisted by Murong Aotian, Murong Aotian shot at will, and Tian Feiyu was beaten without any power to fight back. Everyone in the audience was complaining and insulting Tian Feiyu why he didn't listen to their advice, so that Murong Aotian's strength could not be exposed at all.
Murong Aotian knocked Tian Feiyu down casually, and then was about to turn around and leave, but Tian Feiyu struggled to stand up. Murong Aotian looked at Tian Feiyu and knocked him down casually, but Tian Feiyu stood up again.
Murong Aotian looked at the stubborn Tian Feiyu and was a little surprised, because he had never met this kind of person in his life, and he began to look at Tian Feiyu squarely.
Tian Feiyu felt the pain and the sadness of the difference in strength between the two sides. But he insisted on standing up.
Writing this, Yang Fan felt that his eyes were red, he wiped his eyes and continued to write.
Tian Feiyu's actions aroused the dissatisfaction of the onlookers. Everyone felt that he couldn't expose Murong Aotian's strength like this, and it was a waste of time, and the key was to lose the face of his sect. The elite disciple of his sect looked at the stubborn Tian Feiyu and ordered him to come down.
In the martial arts ring, it is not allowed to shoot and kill, so Murong Aotian is still measured. It's just a knock down. But even if it was just the power to knock people down, it was not something that an ordinary cultivator could insist on.
Murong Aotian knocked Tian Feiyu down again, Tian Feiyu stood up again, delirious and refused to admit defeat, and the onlookers complained and abused a lot less.
Murong Aotian opened his mouth to ask, asking him why he refused to admit defeat. also asked the voices of the onlookers below.
Tian Feiyu replied in a delirious manner, he represented a sect and could not admit defeat, Tian Feiyu's words silenced the onlookers and Murong Aotian.
Tian Feiyu went on to say that although his strength is not high, he is also a warrior and a monk, and he cannot retreat, he can only be defeated, not defeated. After he said this, the entire martial arts arena fell silent.
The spirit of the Tuxin faction represented by Tian Feiyu is what he said about the monks in the sect can only be defeated, not defeated. Tian Feiyu has always carried out the spirit of his sect.
Each sect has a spirit of inheritance, but in the long river of history and the changes of time, many sects have lost those spirits.
Tian Feiyu's words aroused the respect of all the people, and all the ridicule and insults turned into cheers.
Murong Aotian respected the opponent in front of him, he couldn't admit defeat, because this time the first place reward was exactly what he wanted, and he could only use all his strength to defeat the enemy in front of him.
Tian Feiyu finally fell, and he didn't have the strength to stand up, but when he fell, he had a smile on his face.
Murong Aotian looked at Tian Feiyu respectfully, and then bowed deeply.
Writing this, Yang Fan saw that the number of words in this chapter was already 5,000 words, and he was still a little unsatisfied, but he chose to stop.
"This chapter... It's so touching..."Lan looked at this chapter, and his eyes turned red. Then he said to Yang Fan: "You have too much ink on the description of supporting characters in this chapter." And you originally planned to be decent and be some hypocrites, will you write like this to ruin the setting in your heart? ”
Yang Fan stretched out his hand and touched Lan's head and said, "Isn't such a supporting role worth my more pen and ink to describe? He represents a kind of man's spirit! For the decency you said are hypocrites, I set it this way at the time, but not all decency are hypocrites, those ordinary disciples, those elite disciples with dreams, all had a heart that did not admit defeat and righteousness to worship these famous sects. ”
After Yang Fan finished speaking, he polished this chapter, and looked at it at almost 6,000 words, he did not choose to divide the development, but chose to send a big chapter in two. After the release, he felt a deep tiredness hit him.
He looked at the time on the computer screen, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, he got up and changed his clothes with his tiredness, and said to Lan
"We went to the shopkeeper to see if the prescription worked. ”
