Chapter 476
Writing a Novel
An hour later, Long Xuan looked at Qin Mingyue who was sitting opposite him. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He sighed in his heart, fortunately he didn't let this girl take advantage of him. This girl played the pig and eat the tiger. She kept saying that she was good at playing the zither but not good at chess, but it turned out that her attainments in chess were terrifyingly high. If he had underestimated her just now, he would have lost the game.
Long Xuan still had a lingering fear in his heart. The game of chess just now was extremely difficult, but in the end he defeated the girl by relying on his greater experience. If she had a few more years of chess experience, he would not dare to guarantee that he could beat her.
"Thank you! Thank you! It's not easy to beat you in this game of chess. Didn't you say that you are good at playing the piano but not good at chess? You also call this not good at chess?" Long Xuan raised his eyebrows and questioned.
He was also thankful that he was cautious by nature and never underestimated his enemies no matter how big the advantage he had. Otherwise, he would have been fooled by this girl this time. As expected, the more beautiful a woman is, the less trustworthy she is.
"What I mean is that compared to the zither, I am better at the zither. I am proficient in all four of the four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy and painting at the Holy Gu Academy. Chess is just the weakest of all the arts I have learned."
"But you are still the first one among your peers who can beat me in chess. I will come to you again, and you will definitely be the loser next time!"
Qin Mingyue stood up, holding the guqin and walked out the door. When she reached the threshold, she suddenly stopped and turned around to remind:
"The bookworm I gave you likes to read novels, also known as a novel worm. Just by reading a book, it can be transformed into a Gu worm. But don't underestimate the process of refining a book Gu. It doesn't cost much, and the failure rate is not high."
"But God is fair. How can such an easy-to-make Gu worm be without flaws? As a balance, this Gu worm is extremely weak. Even the top-grade Book Gu is pitifully weak, and its strength is far inferior to other Gu species."
"So only poor people in this world can refine Book Gu. Not many talented people with wealth can refine Book Gu."
"You should have guessed the reason. That is, most people in this world only spend their time on cultivation. They would not waste time reading novels. There are too few people who like to read novels. As a result, Book Gu cannot be very strong in this world."
"If you can't guarantee that your book can be read by people all over the world, I advise you not to waste your time refining Book Gu. That's all I have to say."
After that, Qin Mingyue finally stopped talking and walked out of the door.
As she passed by, her graceful figure attracted the attention of a group of male animals, but their eyes were full of fear and no one dared to approach her.
Looking at her departing back, Long Xuan sighed secretly, this girl has a strong desire to win and even wants to win again next time.
But he didn't have a masochistic tendency, so he just wouldn't play with her next time. To make her anxious, Long Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and picked up a white chess piece from the chess pot opposite him.
The chess piece released a brilliant white light, so bright that it was blinding.
This is the chess piece that establishes a fateful connection with Qin Mingyue. From now on, he will share a small part of Qin Mingyue's luck and fate. The higher Qin Mingyue's future achievements, the stronger this chess piece will be.
From now on, the fate of this chess piece Gu will rise and fall together with Qin Mingyue.
Long Xuan couldn't let go of the chess piece. This was the first chess piece that established a relationship with the genius. At this moment, he had an urge to light up all 361 chess pieces on the chessboard. At this moment, he had developed a collecting habit.
However, Long Xuan frowned again soon. He was not satisfied with the glowing chess piece. This chess piece might be even brighter. Although Qin Mingyue had good talent, she was definitely not the strongest genius in the world.
How far a person can go in the future is not fixed and can be interfered with by the outside world. Qi Luoyou, as a mentor, intervened in the future of a large number of geniuses. He not only promoted the growth of these geniuses, but also cultivated these geniuses into people with characters that are extremely difficult to die.
At this moment, he was considering whether or not to train Qin Mingyue. In his previous life, there were too many classic piano scores. These scores were of great help to the geniuses in this world who practiced the art of piano. He could even use the music from his previous life to create a stronger Qin Gu.
He believed that under his training, Qin Mingyue would have a brighter future.
However, he doesn't understand her character yet, so he'd better wait for a while. He doesn't want to raise a traitor in the end.
Long Xuan's eyes rolled around, and he finally took out the worm jar he had gotten from Qin Mingyue, and poured the bookworms inside into his palm.
Soon, a strange insect with big eyes appeared in his sight.
This spiritual insect was fat and snow-white, and looked very strange. The most peculiar thing was its eye. It had only one eye, and this eye was very large, occupying at least one-third of its volume. At this moment, the bookworm was staring at him with the huge eye.
Looking into the eyes, Long Xuan was amazed. Is this the bookworm that can learn abilities from books? Can it restore the abilities created in books in this world?
The world is so big that there is nothing strange. All kinds of strange and bizarre insects can be bred.
"From what Qin Mingyue said, this is a bookworm who likes to read novels! I don't know what novels to give it to read. It's really a difficult choice."
Long Xuan sighed softly and began to think about which novel from his previous life he should bring to this world for it to read.
There were so many novels to choose from in his previous life that he was dazzled. For a moment, he suffered from choice dilemma. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to write out "Journey to the West" from his previous life.
He had never read novels from this world, so he didn't know what level "Journey to the West" was in this world. But he guessed that "Journey to the West" was one of the four great masterpieces of the previous life, so even if it was bad in this world, it couldn't be that bad.
He decided to let the bookworm read "Journey to the West".
There are so many powerful abilities in "Journey to the West", such as the somersault cloud that can travel ten thousand miles with a somersault, the Buddha's palm, and the yellow storm of the Yellow Wind Monster.
No matter what ability the bookworm develops, he will make a lot of money.
Thinking about these abilities, Long Xuan's breathing became rapid. Unable to wait any longer, he immediately took out a pen and paper, ready to finish this world-famous book as quickly as possible.
But before that, there is still a very important thing to be resolved. He has not forgotten that novels are a desert in this world, and few people would waste their time reading novels. Shenggu City is the only exception.
Sheng Gu City has a profound calligraphy tradition, which has deeply influenced the people in the city. Therefore, most people in Sheng Gu City like to read novels.
However, it is easy for "Journey to the West" to spread in Shenggu City, but it is difficult to spread to the entire Gu world.
Not many people in this world read novels, and he has taken Qin Mingyue's reminder to heart. If he cannot make the novels he writes circulate around the world, then refining the Book Gu will be completely meaningless.
This difficult problem really stumped him, which meant that no matter how wonderful his novels were, it was useless. For someone who never reads novels, even if you wrote a novel that was earth-shattering and heart-wrenching, this person would not even take a look at it.
Long Xuan felt a headache. How to make a novel break the circle was definitely a world-class problem. All the people who made book Gu were trying their best to make the novel break the circle. However, from ancient times to now, no one had ever done it. How could it be possible that Long Xuan could do it easily?
However, what Long Xuan is best at is breaking what his predecessors could not do. Things that all ancient people could not do may not necessarily be difficult for him.
Soon, he suddenly slammed the table and cursed: "Damn it, don't you all dislike reading novels?"
"Then I will create the technique that Patriarch Bodhi taught the monkey and write it in the novel."
"In the original book, this technique combines the thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. It is infinite and free, and the Supreme is infinite."
"If you want to understand the thoughts of these three schools, you must read the entire text for me. Don't think you can successfully practice the skills without reading the novel!" "I don't believe that I can't cure you!"
Long Xuan gave a sinister smile.
Picking up the pen, he wrote the five words "Dapin Tianxian Jue" on the paper.
"Dapin Tianxian Jue" is exactly the martial art that Patriarch Bodhi taught to the monkey. This martial art is an extraordinary way, which can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and invade the mysteries of the sun and the moon. After the elixir is made, even ghosts and gods cannot tolerate it, because there is a disaster every five hundred years, three disasters in total, namely thunder, fire and wind.
The most significant feature is that it reveals the root cause, which brings spiritual blessing. When one thing is clear, all things are clear. In simple terms, people who learn this method, no matter what they learn, will understand it after listening once and will be able to do it after practicing it once.
There are also people who can live as long as the sky, be free from all diseases, escape the cycle of reincarnation, and never grow old...
But forget about the ability to achieve immortality, it is definitely not something he can create now.
He really didn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation of such a powerful technique.
With a method in mind to make the novel spread all over the world, Long Xuan did not hesitate any longer and immediately walked into the Soul Bookstore.
He decided to finish "Dapin Tianxian Jue" first and then write "Journey to the West".
The one that really takes up a lot of time is "Dapin Tianxian Jue", while "Journey to the West" only needs to be memorized, which does not require any brainpower and does not take much time at all.
It was a waste of time to practice a heaven-defying Kung Fu, so Long Xuan could only choose to go into seclusion in the Soul Bookstore. As for the matters in the Coffee Gu Store, he could only leave them all to his clone.
Once a genius who meets the requirements comes to play chess, only the clone can play with him.
At this time, Long Xuan had no idea what kind of turmoil the martial arts he had accidentally created would bring to the world.
What he invented will once again cause a major earthquake in the world.
Time passed little by little, and before I knew it, half a year had gone by.
The time spent in the Soul Bookhouse is far more than half a year. It took so much time to research this technique, which shows that it is by no means simple.
On this day, Long Xuan finally stretched himself, a look of comfort on his face. Looking at the three big characters "Journey to the West", he shamelessly wrote below: "Written by Long Xuan"
After thinking about it, he changed his real name to the pen name Xuanlong, and he finally completed this world-famous masterpiece.
Looking at this world-class masterpiece, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.
In the future, the more people read "Journey to the West", the stronger his book Gu will be. He is looking forward to how many people in the world will like to read his "Journey to the West" in the future.
"Show me! Show me hard!"
Long Xuan suddenly threw the novel in front of the bookworm. The bookworm's eyes lit up and it immediately crawled over excitedly, opened the cover, and began to read it with great interest.
The book begins with a story about a monkey. Bookworms couldn't help but be stunned. Other novels have humans as the protagonists, but this novel breaks the convention and has a monster as the protagonist. It feels fresh and I look forward to the development of the story more and more.
The content of the book is very exciting. Before I had even read a few pages, I was immediately addicted to it. The more I read, the brighter my eyes became. I was completely absorbed by the novel.
Seeing that the bookworm's expression was becoming more and more excited, as if he was completely addicted to reading, Long Xuan finally felt relieved.
Bookworms are very picky about their tastes and have much higher requirements for novels than humans.
Since it likes watching "Journey to the West" so much, it is likely that other humans will also like it.
The aesthetic taste of bookworms represents the mainstream aesthetic taste in this world.
Long Xuan was now more confident and no longer paid attention to this addicted bookworm. He prepared to use printing technology to print out a large number of copies of "Journey to the West", as many as possible, the more the better.
……
Time flies and another half a year has passed.
At this time in the Coffee Gu store, Long Xuanshen frowned. He didn't expect that the bookworm would need to sleep for so long after finishing reading "Journey to the West".
The novel "Journey to the West" is undoubtedly very exciting. After reading the novel to the finale, the bookworm was still unsatisfied and soon fell into a dormant state. It just woke up today. When it woke up again, it had transformed into a poisonous insect and successfully comprehended an ability in the novel.
However, the abilities that the bookworm gained disappointed him greatly. It was not the Tathagata Palm that he had been longing for, nor the Somersault Cloud that he had been thinking about all the time.
This disappointing bookworm only managed to master one technique of shrinking the earth.
The Shrinking Earth Technique is a powerful ability used by Sun Wukong that allows him to travel underground. Although it is good, it is far below his expectations.
As expected, it was difficult for a bookworm to comprehend the extraordinary abilities in the book. He really couldn't have too high expectations. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Then, just when he was feeling extremely disappointed, a message suddenly came to his mind through the blood contract, which immediately startled him.
It turns out that his book Gu can not only comprehend one ability, but as it grows, it will also comprehend a second ability, a third ability...
No matter how extraordinary the abilities in the book are, as long as the book Gu grows up, there is a chance for it to be comprehended.
But the prerequisite is that there must be enough people reading "Journey to the West". Only when the number of people reading the book reaches a certain level and the Book Gu has enough spiritual food, will it get a second chance to gain comprehended abilities.
After learning this information, Long Xuan clenched his fists excitedly, full of energy, and prepared to distribute books in the city today.
In the past month, he has printed countless copies of "Journey to the West", but the bookworm is asleep. Before the bookworm completely transforms into a poisonous worm, he naturally dare not distribute "Journey to the West" easily.
Each original novel only corresponds to one Gu. If someone uses his "Journey to the West" to refine the book Gu in advance, he will cry to death. (End of this chapter)
