Chapter 371 You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

However, the plot of the first episode ends here, but the sudden change in the final scene is still a very contrasting change, which makes Ayumi Ito full of curiosity.

Is this... the protagonist's ability?

Can you travel freely between two different worlds?

But looking at the costume of the protagonist who returns to a world that is obviously modern society, it looks like the costume of a mental patient.

She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the male protagonist was mentally ill and everything just happened was just his imagination?

But speaking of mental illness... Ito Ayumi glanced at Lin Qingshan in front of her with some caution.

In these years of getting along with Lin Qingshan, she was certain of one thing.

That is to say, Teacher Aoyama does have some mental problems. After all, he has experienced such things in the past... It is normal for psychological changes to occur.

However, even though Mr. Qingshan looks abnormal and is a mental patient, he is also a very good and very good mental patient!

Ito Ayumi has always believed this.

Teacher Qingshan is a very gentle and just mental patient.

And the protagonist of this new comic seems to be a mental patient?

Could it be another comic drawn by Aoyama-sensei based on himself?

"how is it going?"

Lin Qingshan asked impatiently.

Although the comics of "The Strange Fairy" were drawn by him based on the plot of the original novel, the style of the comics, the storyboards and the composition of the pictures were all thought up by him himself.

This can probably be regarded as one-third of his original works.

So of course he has some expectations. What do others think of the comic "Tao Wei Xian"?

Lin Qingshan is even a little worried that using his ideas to draw "The Strange Fairy" into a comic will have the opposite effect. "The Strange Fairy", a novel he likes very much, will make people feel uncomfortable after the comic version. It looks good.

That's why he changed from his previous normal behavior and instead asked Ayumi Ito how he felt with some urgency and anxiety.

"The new style of this comic is quite nice...but Mr. Aoyama, what is the situation of the protagonist of this comic?"

Ayumi Ito nodded affirmatively, and then said with some doubts, "Is the protagonist... mentally ill? The situation after returning to the modern world, is it the protagonist's ability, or is it just the protagonist's hysteria..."

"Well... don't worry, the protagonist can go back and forth between the two worlds... Actually, it's not a back and forth."

Lin Qingshan blinked, thought for a moment and then said, "It means that he actually exists in two worlds, which is equivalent to being projected into two worlds."

But Ayumi Ito became even more confused as she listened. Why did she feel... that she couldn't understand what Teacher Aoyama said at all?

"Oh... this is the plot later. It's normal for you not to understand what I said to Ayumi now."

Lin Qingshan waved his hand and said, "But the plot must be exciting! It's just that I'm a little worried that my painting is not very good."

"Then can I continue reading the next two episodes?"

Ayumi Ito suddenly became curious and asked again.

"all right."

Lin Qingshan directly gave the drawings for the second and third episodes to Ayumi Ito. He also wanted to see what Ayumi Ito's reaction would be after reading it.

Then Ayumi Ito read the original drawings of the second and third episodes.

Sure enough, in the real world the male protagonist Li Huowang is really a mental patient!

But after he explained his "hallucination" to the doctor in detail, a beautiful girl named Yang Na appeared, and she turned out to be... Li Huowang's girlfriend.

The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, but unfortunately before their senior year in high school, Li Huowang had hallucinations and was diagnosed with mental illness and was sent to psychiatric treatment.

Lin Qingshan also thought about it when he first painted this place, made a little easter egg, and casually named this mental hospital Qingshan Mental Hospital.

Just like in the previous list of victims of the Gun Demon incident, he copied the names of the people on it from the address book on his mobile phone and the address books of the three assistants' mobile phones.

So when Ito Ayumi saw this, her eyes suddenly became weird.

Well, Mr. Aoyama’s character has always been so weird and abnormal.

But it’s okay to name himself a mental hospital, but why...does the treatment in this mental hospital and the doctor’s questions to Li Huowang seem to be the same?

Could it be that Mr. Qingshan...has really been in a mental hospital?

Ito Ayumi's thoughts just flashed through her mind, and then she continued reading.

Then the protagonist Li Huowang in the comic traveled back to that weird Taoist temple late at night, but he saw that the Taoist priest named Xuanyang who had ridiculed him before had a jade pendant hanging on his waist that looked very valuable.

After he tasted the sweet feeling before, he was somewhat sure that this was not only not an illusion, but also that the two worlds could communicate with each other. He planned to "borrow" this valuable jade pendant to verify his idea again. , and plans to return to the real world to make a small fortune.

Li Huowang was very excited at this time. Once he could really take the jade pendant back, it would definitely prove that he was not mentally ill.

"Maybe I'm not sick at all...Yes! That's right! I'm not sick!"

However, when she saw the protagonist saying this to herself, Ito Ayumi felt that this was actually a mental illness...

But in the comics, Li Huowang really succeeded and brought the jade pendant to Yang Na and sold it for a large sum of money.

In this way, he confirmed that he was not sick, that he was not hallucinating, but that he could really travel back and forth between two different worlds!

At the same time, in this weird Taoist temple, he once again encountered the ugly old Taoist priest Danyangzi who used people to practice elixirs.

He figured out the situation in the strange Taoist temple. In addition to Danyangzi, those Danyangzi's direct disciples, registered disciples, and those deformed people in the cooking room who were called disciples and were actually "medicinal materials", he probably had a simple idea. cognition.

And the albino girl who held him back at the beginning also took the initiative to get acquainted with him because she was grateful for his help, and introduced her name as Bai Lingmiao.

In the end, because Li Huowang refused to escape with Xuanyang and the others, he was rewarded as a role model by Danyangzi. In the end, he became Danyangzi's registered disciple and inherited the name of Xuanyang Dao who was killed by Danyangzi.

At the same time, he was also forced to take a drug called Black Tai Sui given by Danyangzi, which directly suppressed the "hallucination". Li Huowang, who was about to return to the real world, saw with his own eyes that the body of his girlfriend Yang Na in front of him became illusory. Then he seemed to have completely stayed in this strange world.

Then after his incompetence and rage, the plot of the third episode was also finished by Ayumi Ito.

Ayumi Ito blinked. The plot of these three episodes felt like it was filled with a lot of information, which made her unable to wrap her head around it.

But I have to say that such a brain-burning beginning really makes me want to continue watching.

Although Lin Qingshan's new work does not yet have a combat power setting and corresponding combat power system, it makes people want to watch it.

Especially the first episode, it really inherits Lin Qingshan's explosive opening style as always. The first episode is the "training pill" plus a dual world setting, and there is also a setting where the protagonist is suspected of being mentally ill...

Ayumi Ito feels that the explosiveness of this beginning is not much lower than the explosiveness of the first episode of "Chainsaw Man" and "Fire Fist".

"how is it going?"

Lin Qingshan once again asked with great expectation, "What do you think of the plot and painting style?"

His urgent expression once again made Ito Ayumi confused this time.

Lin Qingshan would never ask her so urgently about her feelings as an editor when starting a new work.

Well, she was actually the editor in name only. She had no involvement in any of Lin Qingshan's creations, and she didn't even give her opinions.

Ayumi Ito is also used to independent cartoonists like Lin Qingshan, but now Lin Qingshan is uncharacteristically asking her what she thinks.

Could it be...

Ayumi Ito looked at the face of the handsome young man named Li Huowang in the comic book "The Strange Immortal", and for a moment she had a vision, transforming into the face of Lin Qingshan, who was equally handsome and still young.

Looking at the image of Li Huowang in the real world in the comics and the natural three-quarter hairstyle, she blinked her eyes and really felt like...

But she quickly shook her head, that shouldn't be the case.

After all, as far as she knew, Lin Qingshan had never been to a mental hospital. Even if he received treatment, he went directly to the psychiatric department for an examination, or received a home examination by a psychiatric expert who was said to be hired by Mr. Qingshan's uncle.

How could this be personal experience?

As for the concern about the perception at the beginning of "The Strange Immortal", it is probably because Mr. Aoyama's new work adopts a new style of painting that combines traditional Chinese painting and comics, so he is worried about the perception of the new work.

"Although the setting and combat power system of the first three episodes have not yet been released, and they are a bit mind-numbing to watch, they are still quite attractive."

Ayumi Ito nodded and said.

To be honest, the first three chapters only showed the cultivation system of "The Tao Weird Immortal" when Danyangzi killed a group of disciples trying to escape, but still nothing could be seen.

In this way, the plot progress of three episodes without setting and system is obviously very slow.

It may make comic fans feel bored and unable to attract comic fans to continue reading.

But the author of the comic "The Weird Immortal" is Lin Qingshan, so that's different.

Lin Qingshan's current popularity is very high due to the foreshadowing of his previous works, and the quality of his works has always been very high.

Although the popularity and reputation of the four works vary, their quality has always been unsatisfactory.

Therefore, with the accumulation of previous reputation, everyone will choose to be patient and watch it.

Moreover, the beginning of "The Strange Fairy" is still explosive, so it is definitely expected that comic fans will continue to watch it because of Lin Qingshan's famous name and this unexpected plot.

"That's good……"

Lin Qingshan said with a satisfied smile.

at this time……

Yang Dahai seemed to have finished the remote meeting. He even opened the office door himself and came to Lin Qingshan to say hello.

"Teacher Aoyama, are you ready for your new work?"

Yang Dahai looked at the drawing in Lin Qingshan's hand and asked with a smile.

However, Lin Qingshan was keenly aware that Yang Dahai's current smile seemed a bit forced...

"Chief Editor Yang?"

Lin Qingshan asked curiously, "Did something happen?"

"nothing……"

Yang Dahai's smile was a little bitter, but he still shook his head and said, "Let's talk about the next new work."

"All right……"

Although Lin Qingshan knew very well in his heart that Yang Dahai was definitely not as simple as nothing, he still chose to ignore this matter and said.

If someone didn't want to talk about this kind of thing, he wouldn't continue to curiously insist on asking.

Everyone has their own secrets, and as long as they don't harm others, they have the right to protect their secrets tightly.

Lin Qingshan and Ayumi Ito immediately walked into Yang Dahai's office.

Yang Dahai also personally made tea for Lin Qingshan and Ito Ayumi again. He also took a sip of the hot tea and seemed to feel more relaxed.

"Chief Editor Yang, as you heard last time, my new comic is called "The Weird Immortal"."

Lin Qingshan carelessly handed the drawing to Yang Dahai and said, "Please take a look at the plots of the first three episodes."

Yang Dahai sighed, and then said, "Actually... Teacher, have you ever considered going back to serialize the second part of "Chainsaw Man" first?"

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Lin Qingshan scratched his head and said, "But I promised the Phoenix Academy teacher..."

"All right……"

Yang Dahai gritted his teeth and said, "This is the teacher's creative freedom. I really have no right to interfere with this matter."

"So did Chief Editor Yang encounter any difficulties?"

Lin Qingshan asked curiously again.

This is not like Yang Dahai's style. This old two-dimensional cartoonist has always respected the freedom of cartoonists and would not rashly ask him to go back and serialize the second part of "Chainsaw Man".

"It's because the higher-ups are a little dissatisfied with me..."

Yang Dahai sighed and said, "But it's okay, it's not a big deal..."

The main reason is that the sales of physical paper magazines of Manga Comics have dropped significantly recently, and there is nothing we can do about it.

The key is that the decision-makers at the comic industry headquarters felt that "Purple Energy Coming from the East" should not end like this.

"Purple Energy Comes from the East", a long-running popular comic that has been serialized for 23 years, and the facade and pillar of the comics world, has ended like this. How can they still make money?

Even Lin Qingshan's willful suspension of the best-selling fantasy youth comic "Chainsaw Man" in the past decade has also been brought up to accuse Yang Dahai of too low restraint on his cartoonists.

How can cartoonists be so willful?

If you say it's over, it'll be over. If you say it's discontinued, it'll be discontinued?

Anyway, from the perspective of the senior executives in the comics industry, cartoonists must be under their constraints.

Can sometimes the serialization time be too long, and occasionally take a break from publication for a while, but directly suspend the publication of a super-popular comic and directly start a new comic that is extremely popular?

This is nonsense!

The same is true for the serialization of "Purple Energy Coming from the East". Although Feng Yiyuan now has a very high status and great influence, can't you persuade him?

If you can't persuade Feng Yiyuan, it means you are incompetent in your work ability!

If you don’t try to persuade at all, then there is something wrong with your work attitude!

In short, Yang Dahai was tortured by the senior officials in the meeting based on these points.

That's why his mentality changed.

Yang Dahai sighed, feeling that life as a wage worker was really hard. Even the editor-in-chief was just a senior wage worker.

"Let me take a look at the teacher's new work first."

He showed a forced smile again and said.

"Okay, editor-in-chief, take a look first."

Lin Qingshan handed over the drawing.

Yang Dahai carefully read the first episode, and was shocked by the explosive beginning of "The Tao Weird Immortal".

"Is the protagonist directly mentally ill this time?"

He had a weird look on his face. Good boy, Mr. Qingshan, no longer pretending to be pretentious. Did he really paint himself as the protagonist?

Ahem... Okay, this is just a joke.

Then he went on to read the first three chapters of "The Tao Weird Immortal" and was really mesmerized by the weird immortality in it.

Training pill?

Or use all the human beings in the world to make elixirs?

I can only say it's evil...it's really evil!

"No? Teacher Qingshan, do you call this cultivating immortality?"

Yang Dahai looked at the smiling Lin Qingshan opposite with a shocked face and blurted out a question.

Try a new writing method. When you really start the plot, write a rough plot. Except for some famous scenes - the gathering of three flowers, the "resurrection" of Danyangzi, and "Mom, I really can't tell the difference", there will be more words and ink, mainly painting. Wind, feedback, and evaluation.

Try to write like this...then quickly write to the end of the giant part
