Chapter 403 402 "Ghost Blows Out the Light"

Fang Minghua looked at him, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Runbo, you seem to be from a minority?"

"Yes, I am Mulao."

"I heard that ethnic minorities have their own unique cultural beliefs, folk customs and so on. What do you Mulao people have?" Fang Minghua asked again.

"Uniqueness doesn't count. Things like divination, Feng Shui fortune telling, tombs, and tomb robbing legends are all folklore. In fact, they are also feudal superstitions." Liao Runbo explained.

"Do you still have legends about tomb robbing?"

"Yes, our Luocheng is located at the southern foot of the Nine Thousand Mountains in the Miaoling Mountains. Some places are very mysterious, and there are many caves. Some places are prosperous with cave burials. There are legends that there are treasures in them. Of course, they are just legends and no one has seen them."

OK!

Fang Minghua immediately thought of what to ask Liao Runbo.

"Runbo, then you will write about tomb robbing, right?"

"Tomb robbing?"

"Yes, tomb robbers! It will definitely look good if it combines elements such as Feng Shui, tombs, Xiangxi corpse chasers, etc.!"

"Can this be written?" Liao Runbo was surprised.

"Why can't you write it? If you write it, it will definitely be popular!" Fang Minghua looked at the other party and said, "Well, let me tell you two short stories for your reference."

Fang Minghua took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

During the Republic of China, there was a man named Hu Guohua who was forced to rob tombs because of his poor family and his ability to eat, drink, whore and gamble. However, he was stopped by an old man who saw Feng Shui and taught him a fragment of a secretary's book "Sixteen Characters" a hundred years later. "The Secret Technique of Yin and Yang Feng Shui". By understanding this book, you can know Feng Shui, observe astronomy, and use it to know the Qionglou Ancient Tomb hidden in the Qichuan Mountains. After many hardships, this book was finally passed to the hands of grandson Hu Bayi.

At this time, in the late 1960s, the upsurge of educated young people going to the mountains and countryside led Hu Bayi and his buddies, called Fatty, to start exploring the secrets of tomb robbing. During this period, they were introduced to Professors Yang and Chen from the archaeological team. The four of them embark on a fantastic journey of exploration.

This is the famous "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"!

The exquisite ancient city ruins in the Taklimakan Desert and the Longling Mysterious Grottoes in the Qinling Mountains. The four major sects of tomb robbers: Touch the Gold Captain, Touch the Gold Talisman, Black Donkey Hoof.

Liao Runbo listened with great interest to each new term.

After Fang Minghua finished speaking, Liao Runbo couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Editor Fang, there are many tombs in your Qin Province. You have also been an educated youth. Do you really understand Feng Shui and have you ever robbed tombs?"

Fang Minghua laughed loudly after hearing this.

"What kind of tomb am I robbing? These things are made up by old people or some folklore, as well as by myself. Please don't take them seriously."

Liao Runbo felt that what he had just said was a bit abrupt. Fang Minghua was a great writer. How could he be a good editor and do such illegal things?

"Runbo, do you think readers would like to read such a story?" Fang Minghua finally asked.

"I'll definitely love watching it."

"Then you can write according to my idea. It doesn't have to be the same. Since there is a similar legend in your place, you can use that one as your version, but you must pay attention to two points."

"What two points?"

"The story must be suspenseful and attractive! And even though the story is false, it must be written mysteriously and realistically, just like it's true!"

"I understand, for example, the four major tomb robbing sects you mentioned, such as Mojin Xiaowei, have existed in history, but we can be more artistic, more mysterious, and add more skills to make it more mysterious and powerful." Liao Runbo said.

"That's what I mean." Fang Minghua nodded: "Everything is up to you. Control it to a book of 200,000 words, and steal a tomb of different categories. If you write it well, you can form a series."

"Okay, I'll go to the library first to look up relevant information and write a summary of the story." Liao Runbo stood up and left in excitement.

"Wait."

After Fang Minghua finished speaking, he took out his wallet from his jacket bag, took out a wad of bills, counted them and handed them to the other party. Liao Runbo was surprised: "Editor Fang, I can't ask for your money!"

"This is not for you." Fang Minghua said: "This 500 yuan is the advance payment for the novel you are going to write. I will pay it first for my friend. After you finish writing, it will be deducted from the future royalties."

this.

In fact, Liao Runbo knew that Fang Minghua was helping him in disguise.

And I need this money too much now. With it, I can solve my immediate urgent needs.

So he stopped refusing and accepted the money.

"Editor Fang, I will write it well to your satisfaction!" Liao Runbo said.

"I believe you. I'm about to get off work, why don't we have dinner together?" Fang Minghua greeted.

"No, no, I'll go back to school. I have classes in the afternoon." Liao Runbo declined.

"Okay, then I won't keep you."

After Liao Runbo left, Fang Minghua smiled slightly.

Maybe a world-beating singer will really appear in advance?

This is also a fire book.

Liao Runbo returned to Western University and started his popular novel writing career while studying. Here, "Female Leader" became a hit, and Shengshi Company immediately launched the second part of the "female" series "Female Star to Female Prisoner". It ignited the market boom again.

For a time, the name Xue Milli also resounded throughout the country.

Who is she and what is her real name? Is she a young girl?

There were many legends for a time.

Some people don't believe that a person with a nice name may not necessarily be good-looking, but some people swear that they have seen a woman named Xue Mili on the streets of Xiangjiang. She is really a beauty, even more beautiful than Michelle! "

"Who is Michelle? She plays Zhao Qiannan in "Fearless"!"

"Have you been to Hong Kong?" Someone sneered.

"I haven't been there, but you forgot that a distant cousin of mine is in Hong Kong. This year, my eldest cousin came back and talked about this matter. He would never lie to me!" The other party said it with details, so you have to believe it.

There are all kinds of rumors outside, but the inside of Shengshi Book Company is unusually calm. Zhao Hongjun regards the true situation of Xue Mili as the company's top secret and does not allow anyone to discuss or inquire.

Fang Minghua did not care much about Xue Mili's affairs. He believed that Tian Yanning and Tan Li would write a series of popular novels of "female" one after another.

As for Liao Runbo, let's wait until he takes out the first draft of the tomb-robbing novel.

Now it is mid-December, and Xijing has entered the winter season. That afternoon, Fang Minghua took a bus to Xida, mainly for the Northwest University Writers Class.

This was organized by the Chinese Department of Northwest University at the suggestion of the Chinese Writers Association, and was affirmed and supported by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Writers Association. The Provincial Writers Association asked several writers in the province who had achieved certain achievements in the field of literature to give temporary lectures to this writer class, including Fang Minghua.

This time I went to discuss this matter, but Fang Minghua declined.

"Director Liu, please let me go. There are too many things at home and at work, and I am really too busy. It is enough to have Lu Yao and Ping Wa to teach." Fang Minghua said in the office of Liu Jianjun, the director of the Chinese Department.

Liu Jianjun also sympathized with Fang Minghua and finally let him go.

Coming out of the Northwest University, the weather was good today, the sun was warm, Fang Minghua was not in a hurry to go back to the magazine and walked aimlessly on the street. Suddenly, a burst of singing came from the opposite side of the street and attracted Fang Minghua's attention.

If your husband is from Lugang Town

May I ask if you have seen my parents?

My family lives behind the Mazu Temple

The small grocery store selling incense

Fang Minghua listened carefully and it turned out to be Luo Dayou singing "Lugang Town".

Compared to "Childhood", "Story of Time" and "Love Song 1990" written by Luo Dayou, "Lugang Town" is not very popular in the mainland.

Although this song has been released for several years, it was the first time Fang Minghua heard someone play this song on the streets of Xijing.

Out of curiosity, Fang Minghao crossed the road and walked into this "Xuecheng Bookstore."
