Today's emperor is Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, who has believed in Taoism all his life and has reached the point of obsession. In the records of later generations, Jiajing once did jaw-dropping absurd things, and the results obtained were equally jaw-dropping.

Jiajing ordered the palace maids to collect nectar and mix it with ginseng juice in the early morning in order to prolong their lives, causing hundreds of palace maids to fall ill. The palace maids couldn't bear it anymore and almost strangled Jiajing to death, which is a rare "Renyin Palace Change" in history where the palace maids killed the king.

Writing a book about seeking immortals and seeking the Tao will definitely not offend today's saints, and because today's saints respect Taoism and are now prosperous in Daming Taoism, if such a book is written, it will definitely sell well.

In fact, Luo Xin also thought of copying some books on the Four Books and the Five Classics from later generations, such books are all professional books, and once successful, they will not only make money, but also gain fame.

But he didn't dare to write, an eleven-year-old child could not have that kind of precipitation, and he didn't have the slightest reputation, even if he wrote it, no one would read it, and no one would even publish a book for him.

So he can only set his sights on this form of story, and this form has appeared, like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West" belong to this form, as summarized by later generations.

Tang poems, Song poems, Yuan songs, Ming and Qing novels.

From the Ming to the Qing Dynasty, the form of novel developed and grown, and now the form of novel is still in its embryonic state, as long as Luo Xin can write a novel, the market must be good.

Is this hard for Luo Xin?

Of course it's not that hard!

Luo Xin doesn't need to write it himself, just find one from the afterlife. The difficulty is in choosing which one? Moreover, it should be related to Taoism, and it is to promote Taoism.

In later generations, there are many online novels that seek immortals, but the writing is too bad, and it is incompatible with the writing of this era.

Well?

Luo Xin suddenly remembered a book, the writing of this book is very ancient, and the plot is full of ups and downs.

Looking for immortals, looking for the way. The battle between immortals and demons.

Love, friendship, adventures.

This book has the attraction that the four famous books do not have, and it was popular all over the country at the beginning, causing many young people to give up everything to find the immortal path, buckle the rope in the stone crevices and tree holes in the mountains, expecting to discover the secrets of cultivation, and even some young people saw an eagle flying under the cliff, and thought that it was a sect that came to guide him to the beginning. Jumped off a cliff and fell to his death.

This book is the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" written by the lord of Huanzhulou.

It has been adapted into TV series and movies countless times in later generations, and it has been popular.

With a decision in his heart, Luo Xin sat up excitedly, went down to the ground, and walked back and forth. Although "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" is a classic, it can't be copied from it, Luo Xin began to think about it carefully.

The background needs to be changed, the writing should be slightly revised to fit the times, and some points of view should also be slightly modified. It can't go against the views of this era, but the plot doesn't need to be changed, and the plot that can make future generations ecstatic will definitely be able to immerse the people of this era in the period.

A look of excitement appeared between Luo Xin's eyebrows.

Next. He began to think about how to sell books. Luo Xin didn't think it was difficult to ask this question, he could use a pen name at all, so as not to reveal his identity. Even if your identity is revealed later, this is just a book. It is not a product, and it will not cause those powerful people to covet him, and he will not be in danger.

This is the best way to solve the problem of livelihood.

Luo Xin touched the darkness and poured himself a cup of tea and held it in his hand. Sitting quietly on a chair in the dark, he began to think carefully about making those changes to "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan".

The next day.

Luo Xin left the Lu family and went to the Zhou Mansion, but did not stop at the Zhou Mansion, but told Zhou Zhixian that he had something at home, and hurriedly said goodbye and returned home.

After returning home, he told his mother to send five catties of millet to Zhang Wang's family, and then returned to his courtyard and began to write.

He changed it while writing, retaining the original attraction of the story, but changing the views in the book to be more in line with the three views of the Ming Dynasty. He was very careful at this point, because he knew that this was a feudal society, and every dynasty was guilty of writing crimes.

The "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion has more than 5 million words, and Luo Xin almost wrote it day and night, and it took four days to write about 50,000 words. Putting down the pen, rubbing his sore wrist, he couldn't help but sigh:

"I'm so tired of changing 10,000 words a day!"

Put down the pen, put away the stack of papers, and go to sleep.

Yanglin County.

Lu Fu study.

The two brothers Lu Tingfang and Lu Tingjiang sat there in a daze, they had been getting that reminder from Dai'er for a few days. They still can't figure out what the reminder is for?

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Shanglin Village.

Look at home.

The family was drinking millet porridge, and Zhang looked at Zhang Wang and said, "Boss, if this millet is eaten, will Luo Gongzi's family still lend us grain?" ”

"Luo Gongzi is a good person, he won't watch us starve to death." Zhang Wang said uncertainly.

"But...... I heard that Luo Gongzi's family doesn't have much food left. ”

"Mother, Luo Gongzi must have a way!" Zhang Qiaoniang said with a firm expression.

Luo Xinjia.

Luo looked at Luo Ping who was sitting in the chair and said, "His father, what's going on with Xin'er these days?" I've been locked up in the house, and I don't practice martial arts or. And when eating, I saw him with dark circles under his eyes. ”

"Alas......" Luo Ping sighed and said, "I should be thinking about the food shortage." ”

"Father, Xin'er should be able to borrow food, right? Not to mention far away, even Zhang Shu has surplus food at home. ”

"You should be able to borrow!" Luo Ping frowned and said, "Xin'er is a strong person, he won't borrow grain until the last step." ”

"But......" Roche's face showed worry, "this will burn the bones of the body." ”

"Alas, it's useless!" Luo Ping lowered his head.

Luo Xin slept until midnight, got up from the kang, and then sucked his face with cold water to clear his mind, then lit the oil lamp, took the pile of paper that had been written, and looked at them carefully one by one to check if there was anything wrong.

I read it three times in a row, and finally decided that there was nothing wrong, so I stacked the stack of papers, and the sky was already dark by this time. Standing up, he took the folding fan and came to the courtyard to start practicing martial arts.

After practicing martial arts, I washed up again, went to greet my parents, and after breakfast, I asked my mother for needlework. His mother asked him what he wanted to do with the needlework, but Luo Xin just smiled and said nothing, came back with the needle and thread, bound the stack of paper into a book, and wrote the title on the cover:

"The Legend of Shushan"

Then I thought about it again, and finally wrote my pen name on the cover.

Huang Shi Weng.
