"This book is good, Mr. Hong. Once this book is compiled, you will benefit all people!" Bu Fan slowly closed the book and looked at the old beggar with a smile.
"Sir, you are joking. How can this book benefit all people? In the eyes of many ordinary people, these are just weird stories!" The old beggar was slightly startled and shook his head.
"Perhaps this book is a strange story in people's eyes, or even a fantasy, but it also gives people a fantasy about unknown things!" Bu Fan said with a smile.
"Sir, what does this mean?" The old beggar was a little confused.
"Mr. Hong, you don't know that there are many mortals who only stay in a small place, either a village or a small town, for their whole life. The outside world is a strange and magical place for them! Let alone those outside the dynasty.
Something happened.
This book just makes up for this and allows many people to see the world outside the dynasty, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magical book!"
Bu Fan's eyes truly confirmed that the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the previous life was a recipe, no, it was a work full of magical colors, a book that gave people unlimited imagination.
The old beggar didn't expect that this book would get such a good review from Bu Fan.
"It's a pity that this book is not completed yet, and there are too few things recorded in it. It would be great if there were more. There are also some geography and humanities that are not recorded much, just some short stories!"
Bu Fan shook his head, his face full of regret.
"Sir, this book is only a draft now and has not been fully compiled. If Sir likes it, I can continue to compile it!" The old beggar said immediately as if something had happened.
"is that so?"
Bu Fan looked at Song Leizi and the old beggar in confusion.
"it seems to be like this!"
Song Laizi scratched his head.
Although this is a draft, everything that needs to be written about the old beggar’s story has been written.
But the old beggar actually said that it was not compiled well, so why not compile it? He had the final say.
"That's great. On behalf of the people all over the world, I would like to thank Mr. Hong!" Bu Fan stood up and said with deep gratitude.
"This is not possible, this is what I should do!!"
The old beggar was a little frightened.
In his opinion, the stories in Shan Hai Jing are strange to ordinary people, but they are definitely not worth mentioning in the eyes of this gentleman.
After all, some of the stories here are known to all practitioners.
Song Laizi on the side touched the back of his head.
Why did he have a feeling that the mayor wanted to read this book?
Could it be that he was mistaken.
The mayor really thinks about the people of the world.
"By the way, Mr. Hong, I want to ask you something?"
"Sir, please speak?"
"This strange beast looks like a fish and has wings. What do you think it tastes like?"
"The meat is a little sour and a little sweet!"
"What about this one with a fish body and a snake head and six legs?"
“It’s not very tasty, the meat is tough and tasteless!”
"Then this"
…
Originally, the old beggar wanted to ask Bu Fan for advice on the true meaning of the Great Dao, but for some reason the topic changed later.
However, this trip was not without its rewards.
At least he knew how to talk to this gentleman, so he immediately asked Song Lezi to inform Zhou Mingzhu that he wanted to re-compile the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Zhou Mingzhu was a little surprised to know this.
In the past, when the Classic of Mountains and Seas was compiled, the old beggar ignored it.
Even many of the stories in the now compiled Classic of Mountains and Seas were collected by academy students from small town residents who listened to the stories.
But today, he actually took the initiative to say that he would personally compile the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Although I don’t know why the old beggar changed his mind so quickly, this time it can be said to be a good thing for Zhou Mingzhu.
He immediately went to Song Leizi's house without stopping, and after some discussion with the old beggar, the old beggar finally decided to go to the academy to compile the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and even gave the old beggar the false title of editor-in-chief of the academy.
Anyway, Zhou Mingzhu feels proud to have attracted a golden figure to the academy.
When Wu Xuanzi heard that the old beggar wanted to compile a book, he was a little confused, so he went to the old beggar to ask about it, "Old blind man, why do you want to compile this so-called Book of Mountains and Seas?"
"Don't you understand this? Although the content I wrote is strange and weird to ordinary people, it can also enlighten ordinary people!" The old beggar grinned with yellow teeth in his mouth.
"Civilize mortals?"
Wu Xuanzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Old man Wu, don't believe it. That gentleman said that compiling the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a great thing and can benefit all people in the world!" Seeing that Wu Xuanzi didn't believe it, the old beggar moved Bu Fan out.
"You mean that's what the gentleman said?"
Wu Xuanzi was slightly startled. He didn't have to believe what the old beggar said, but he had to believe what the gentleman said.
"Can I still lie to you?"
The old beggar immediately told Wu Xuanzi what Bu Fan said. When Wu Xuanzi heard the words, he immediately felt like he was ready to make a move.
"Then I will definitely be indispensable for this matter!" Wu Xuanzi said.
"How many places have you been?" the old beggar asked.
Wu Xuanzi was speechless.
Unlike the old beggar, he spent most of his time in Wei.
The old beggar has traveled all over the world, and has even been to many dangerous places that are extremely dangerous for cultivators.
"However, that gentleman said it would be better if the Classic of Mountains and Seas had illustrations. Old man Wu, although you are a chess player, your painting skills are better than most of the great Confucians."
Wu Xuanzi understood what the old beggar meant, "Leave this illustration to me!"
In the days that followed, the two old men were tinkering with the Classics of Mountains and Seas in the academy. Gradually, most of the teachers in the academy also participated.
Until later, a secret gradually spread in Bufan Academy.
That is, Wu Xuanzi, the academic director of the academy, led a group of gentlemen to compile a masterpiece that belongs to their extraordinary academy.
And because the old beggar went to compile the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the big locust tree was no longer as lively as it used to be.
However, there are still many children playing in the big locust tree.
Among them was a little girl with a toad. The little girl was very small, but the children took special care of the little girl.
Maybe it’s Aiwujiwu.
The children did not object to the toad around the little girl, and some of the brave ones even touched the toad.
This little girl is none other than Xiao Xibao and her little frog who finally get to play in the town.
Little Xibao has a sweet mouth and calls everyone like her brother or sister.
"Xiao Xibao, the little frog has grown bigger again!"
"Yeah, from now on I can no longer call you little frog, I have to call you big frog!"
The children were laughing and playing around little Xibao.
"I think the little frog is not big enough!" Xiao Xibao said seriously with a small face.
"Isn't this big enough?"
The children were stunned. The toad was as big as Little Xibao.
"Hmm, I want to raise the little frog to be bigger than Xiaobai!" Xiao Xibao nodded seriously.
All the children knew that Xiaoxibao’s Xiaobai refers to the little white donkey. A skinny little girl asked: “Can it be raised so big?”
"Yes, my father said that as long as you have perseverance, nothing is impossible!" Xiao Xibao said.
