Su Wen could basically conclude that the "Jiangnan Weird Tales" tabloid was written by an extraordinary person.
"Gangnam-do...are there any novelists hanging around?"
Su Wen immediately focused on the novelist.
This was not the first time that he had heard of the name of a novelist, but he had never seen a scholar of the novelist school.
This is normal. Although novelists are classified into famous schools, their status is really worrying. After all, everyone is an extraordinary scholar who understands the righteousness of saints and understands the principles of heaven and earth. However, novelists are just dancing with their words, weaving stories and dismantling allusions.
, pretending to be mysterious, trying to fabricate a non-existent world on a blank sheet of paper, exaggerating, bizarre, and grotesque, and naturally being rejected by other schools of thought.
There are many good and bad novelists. Although some write heroic and generous immortal masterpieces, there are also some who deliberately depict dark, depraved, immoral and filthy things. And whether it is for the purpose of seeking wealth or finding another way to advance to the extraordinary order, the latter often
It is easier than the former, so there are often novelists who use books to express their ambitions and contaminate mortals with extraordinary power to plot promotion rituals, which causes a lot of turmoil.
"This may be a promotion ceremony for a transcendent person...a novelist."
Taoyao had done something similar. In order to release the out-of-control extraordinary power, after leaving the spiritual prison, Taoyao signed contracts with people everywhere, which caused quite a stir inside and outside Wuning City.
"Novelist...it is true. But we have no evidence..."
Lao Liu and Yan Duo also believed that the extraordinary person who created the "weird story" case was related to the novelist, but it seemed a bit childish to make such a conclusion based on just one newspaper and "Yinpingju".
"This is the proof!"
Su Wenyang raised the newspaper in his hand and said: "The script of "Yilin Ping Ju" is not low-level. Most people can't weave such a plot at all. Ximen...cough, the image of a high-ranking official in Dongguo who is sinister and vicious, who is dissolute and arrogant, is so profound.
The characters and images of the three heroines are also lifelike, each with different characteristics, and the writing style is very good. This can distinguish the author from other scholars."
Lao Liu and Yan Duo nodded in agreement.
Despite the fact that many big figures in schools of thought have become rich through their studies, they are full of words from saints and mysteries of classics, and their words are accompanied by literary spirit. But it is really difficult to ask them to write a story that will turn over and over again, and that will make people feel soul-stirring, even if they can barely do it.
Even when written, it is dry, boring and uninteresting.
"Silver Screen Chrysanthemum" is different. It brings together erotic, supernatural, bloody, vendetta, suspense and other elements that people like to see. Once popularized, it will definitely become popular.
This is exactly what Su Wen is worried about.
He was very worried about how the plot of "Silver Screen Chrysanthemum" matched reality. Was it a supernatural power that affected reality, or was it something like this that happened in reality and was discovered by the novelist, and then used his writing style to
Weaving a story and delivering justice?
But...
The high-ranking official of Dongguo in "The Silver Screen Chrysanthemum" also escaped the cycle of cause and effect many times. "He killed someone and even watched the funeral." But how can he explain that he still died well?
"That's not right...the real-life plot characters related to it were eventually found by the internal factory...the end was much more miserable than what was written in the book."
"This means that...the novelist's ability is not enough to do whatever he wants, but his ability is obviously increasing..."
Su Wen looked at Yan Duo: "How many abilities of the novelist path...can affect reality?"
Yan Duo rolled his eyes at Su Wen. The extraordinary path sequences of each school are the secrets of the school. Only the extraordinary people who have reached this sequence know the name of the sequence. The names of the sequences are all fragmented.
Very little information is available.
If you have to use Confucianism as an argument, it would be an argument.
After the extraordinary sequence of Confucianism was forcibly standardized by Cheng Zi, he announced the sequence of Confucian approaches to various universities to expand the influence of Confucianism.
At that time, Cheng Zi was very high-spirited and believed that after he standardized the Confucian approach, there would be more and more extraordinary Confucians, and the Confucian ideas would be further deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, eventually replacing hundreds of schools of thought and becoming a unique existence.
But hundreds of years have passed, and although Confucianism occupies a leading position among prominent schools, it still has a long way to go before it can become the dominant one.
"I only know that novelists have a sequence called Daydreaming." Yan Duo thought about it seriously and said, "But the name of the sequence is really unclear. Most novelists are very simple and do not communicate with others.
Dealing with the world, entertaining yourself in your own imaginary world, being very honest and peaceful..."
At this point, Yan Duo did not continue.
In fact, what she wants to express is already very obvious. Although the world described by novelists may be shocking and sensational, these guys have basically no interest in dealing with people in the world. That's why there is confusion in the internal factory, and it is not because of a movie
"Silver Screen Chrysanthemum" concluded that the novelist's extraordinary person was responsible for creating these cases. In fact, the internal factory also inquired about the novelist through connections and invited some authorities to taste "Yin Ping Ju" and let them analyze whether this worldly romance novel was
From the extraordinary beings they are familiar with.
But the investigation turned out to be inconclusive.
Novelists who have tasted "Silver Screen Chrysanthemum" are also at two extremes in their evaluation of this work. Some say it is obscene and thief, while others say it is compassionate and compassionate.
Since there was no way to find any clues about the extraordinary person from the author of "Silver Screen Chrysanthemum", Su Wen could only start from other places.
Each issue of the "Gangnam Strange Tales" newspaper seems to have only one copy, and the number of pages varies. The first issue only has one newspaper with four front and back pages, but the latest issue has six pages and a lot of front and back content.
.
Su Wen focused on the other contents of the newspaper.
"Honglu Temple angrily denounced the Rouran envoy..."
Su Wen carefully studied the contents of "Jiangnan Weird Tales" in chronological order starting from the first issue. He found that the headline on the first page of the first issue actually had something to do with him - Luan Anmin and Gongsun Zhi were both from the Rouran royal family.
After being killed at the foot of Qingshan Academy, the Rouran people sent envoys to negotiate with the court, but they were spat on. The dispute immediately escalated. Things have evolved to the present. Both sides have hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at the border. It may happen at any time.
There's a war.
The news was simple and concise, not exaggerated and conjecture, but it was precisely because of this that Su Wen felt magical.
Judging from the date, when the Rouran envoy came to Korea, "Qingshan Daily" had just been published. If "Jiangnan Weird Tales" started to follow the trend from that time, it would be quite economical.
It's just... "Gangnam Ghost Story" is not following the trend to make profits at all. With its circulation... it can't be said to be released, it can only be regarded as self-entertainment.
Su Wen patiently flipped through the twenty issues of the newspaper.
He eventually discovered something strange.
"A lot of the stuff in newspapers... is fictitious."
Su Wen came to a conclusion.
There is no doubt that the content of "Gangnan Strange Tales" focuses on the Jiangnan region, but most of the characters and place names mentioned are fictitious.
"Nangu County...there is no such place in reality..."
Su Wen muttered to himself. But in "Jiangnan Weird Tales", there are many incidents about Nangu County. The fictional location of "Yinpingju" serialized in the newspaper is also Nangu County.
"Interesting...we should visit this place!"
According to the descriptions in "Strange Tales" and the novel, Nangu County is located to the west of Qinghe County and borders Qinghe County and Shabai County. It is a prosperous place.
The strange things serialized in the strange stories also started in Qinghe County, then moved to Shabai County, and recently moved towards Wuning City.
But in fact, the place where Qinghe County and Shabai County meet is a large mountain that stretches for dozens of miles. The place where Su Wen encountered Lizard Sanshou is a branch of the mountain.
But Su Wen decided that there must be something fishy about this place.
"Us?" Lao Liu glanced at Su Wen and then shook his head: "Forget it, just stay in the city... The Ji Ran family and the Rouran people won't be polite when they see you."
"And those from Heshan Academy."
Yan Duo did not forget to add something aside.
Su Wen could only smile bitterly.
The deaths of Gongsun Zhi and Luan Anmin and Wang Ke's escape led to a big split within Ji Ran's family; the conflict between Qian Haoran and Zhu Min completely intensified, all of which were related to Su Wen - although Su Wen felt that he was innocent, he
To this day, I still don’t understand why Gongsun Zhi wants to have trouble with him. But when things have developed to this point, it would be wrong to say that it has nothing to do with him.
So Su Wen always took Tao Yao with him whenever he went out, otherwise he would not dare to leave Qingshan Academy even half a step.
“Where’s the Nanda stall?”
Su Wen was very curious. With such a big case happening in the jurisdiction, there was no reason for Nangong to remain calm. If a Sequence Five extraordinary person took action, he would definitely be able to find out the extraordinary force behind "Jiangnan Strange Tales".
"I don't know. We haven't seen any big stalls in recent times."
Lao Liu Pharmacist shook his head, feeling very melancholy in his heart: "Oh, it would be great if Liu Dongtou was here. With him taking care of me, I don't have to worry about anything."
Yan Duo also agreed.
"Is there any news about Liu Stall?"
Su Wen also missed Liu Sandao very much. He also sent a copy of the invitation to the Peach Blossom Banquet to Liu Sandao, but Liu Sandao was in the north and was too far away. It is estimated that when he received the invitation, the Peach Blossom Banquet would be gone.
It has ended.
"No... the place in the north is too special. A mission often takes ten and a half days deep into the wilderness. It may be more difficult when Liu Dong first arrives there."
Yan Duo responded.
Lao Liu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, especially when Rouran is provoking provocations recently. He is very busy."
"Let's not talk about that, let's get back to our case..."
The old six strongmen cheered up and recorded the clues that Su Wen compiled from "Jiangnan Weird Tales" one by one. He also asked Yan Duo to mobilize factory guards and go out of the city to explore "Nangu County" to see if he could find any useful information.
