I write novels in Liyue

"So, Miss Fang Qiu, do you have any ideas about this story?"

Yun Jin took a sip of tea and asked.

"I think I have a rough idea. I should be able to start writing when I get home tonight."

Fang Qiu nodded and said, "A story needs both people and ghosts, and then the final theme is the Hall of Rebirth, reincarnation."

"You can start writing tonight? You're truly amazing."

Yun Jin's eyes widened.

She had seen authors struggle to write books, racking their brains, but Miss Fang Qiu had only discussed it with her for a few minutes and was already writing it tonight?

This is terrifying...

Just then, people from Heyu Teahouse knocked on the door; they were members of Yunhan Society.

"Mr. Yun, the time is almost up, it's time to make preparations."

"That's what the girl said."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Yun Jin responded, then turned to Fang Qiu and said, "Fang Qiu, would you like to stay and watch the show?"

Fang Qiu declined, citing a burst of inspiration and a desire to rush home to write the play.

Although she was also interested in Yun Jin's play and wanted to stay and watch, Yun Jin's plays were always sold out, and she couldn't get tickets without advance booking.

Adding seats is possible, but it would cause Yun Jin a lot of trouble.

"Alright then, I'll leave the scriptwriting to you. I'm going to get ready to go on stage."

Yun Jin said.

"Well, don't worry."

Fang Qiu nodded, got up, and followed Yun Jin out of the house and downstairs.

The Heyu Teahouse was already quite full, with people drinking tea and chatting while waiting for Mr. Yun to make his appearance.

Fang Qiu was in a great mood as she left Heyu Teahouse.

The matter of Hu Tao's gift has finally been resolved.

I'm sure Walnut will be very happy to receive this gift that promotes the Wangsheng Hall.

So Fang Qiu hurried home without stopping, and along the way he saw a familiar-looking legal expert reasoning with a vendor.

After saying only a few words, the vendor suddenly knelt on the ground and began to repent.

Fang Qiu was stunned.

Fang Qiu returned home, took out her writing implements, prepared the ink, picked up her brush, pondered for a moment, and then wrote four elegant characters on the snow-white paper.

A Chinese Ghost Story.

Chapter 511 A Chinese Ghost Story

After chatting with Yun Jin, the story of Nie Xiaoqian naturally came to her mind.

After deciding on the subject matter, Fang Qiu did not rush to start writing.

She sat on the bouncy bomb, gazing thoughtfully at the paper and pen under the candlelight.

There are many versions of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

First, there's "Nie Xiaoqian" from Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," which Pu Songling wrote during his impoverished period after repeatedly failing the imperial examinations.

In the story of this book, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a happy ending.

It is also the original version of all versions.

Yan Chixia in the book is already considered a terrestrial immortal, almost invincible in the world.

Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian was easily rescued.

Ning Caichen in the book still had a wife at home. He brought Nie Xiaoqian home with him, and after his wife died, he remarried Nie Xiaoqian.

Finally, Nie Xiaoqian became more and more like a human, and even had a child with Ning Caichen...

If this version were written, Hu Tao wouldn't be happy at all; she'd probably hit herself on the head with a homa on the spot, wondering if she was possessed by a ghost or a spy sent by a monster to the human world.

Ok……

What should this be called?

Ghost rape?

Therefore, the original version is definitely not to be written; if it is, Gao Di Hu Tao would have to perform a ritual for himself.

As for the TV series version...

It's too long; you can just pass it over without even considering whether the plot is good or not.

As for the 1960 version, that version was too highbrow and lacked vivid and compelling details.

As for the other versions, they're not very watchable anymore.

Therefore, only one version remains.

The movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" starring Joey Wong and Leslie Cheung.

Both the plot and the soundtrack are excellent.

It has lofty ideals yet is also secular, popular, and combines the refined with the common.

The film vividly portrays the chaos of war and love.

In the end, the story concludes with the tragic separation of humans and ghosts, suggesting that it's better to forget each other than to cling to each other in hardship.

After finalizing the story, Fang Qiu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, cleared his mind, and calmed his breathing.

Meditation can help improve concentration.

Then a wave of sleepiness washed over me.

Just as Fang Qiu was drifting off to sleep, he suddenly heard a noise from ahead, which startled him so much that he almost jumped off the bouncy bomb.

Feeling her body enveloped in soft fabric, Fang Qiu, still shaken, breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the bouncy bomb was big enough; otherwise, if she had been leaning back like that in a regular chair, she would have been thrown over.

Thank you, Klee!

If I go to Mondstadt later, I should bring her some gifts.

Klee seems to like bombs...

Never mind, I'll just bring her some snacks.

After regaining his senses, Fang Qiu quickly climbed up from the bouncy bomb.

Fortunately, her home was a mansion with bright lights. If it were her previous rented room, where she could only write at night under a single lamp and barely see anything, she would have been terrified.

Anyone who is alone at home, sleeping with only a bedside lamp on, would be scared if they suddenly heard a noise in the house, right?

Even if you're not afraid of ghosts, you're still afraid of thieves breaking in.

However, she wasn't that afraid of thieves breaking in. As long as she was awake, she could take care of most petty thieves in no time.

But ghosts are different.

after all.

The Eye of God may not be able to hit a demon...

She looked toward the source of the sound and saw Tingyu rummaging through the wooden box, secretly eating dried fish.

Fang Qiu was so angry at this guy that she laughed.

This glutton...

Fang Qiu got up, walked over to Tingyu, took out a handful of dried fish and put them in Tingyu's cat bowl, then stood aside and quietly waited for it to eat.

Just as it finished eating and was about to jump onto the sofa to sleep, Fang Qiu picked up Tingyu and carried it to the desk.

Just right.

Although there weren't any scary elements in the beginning of "A Chinese Ghost Story," it is still a ghost story, so she was a little scared.

Especially at this late hour.

But if Tingyu, who always has the blood of immortals, were around, she would feel much more relaxed.

Although it hasn't taken human form yet, it is, after all, of immortal blood, so ordinary ghosts wouldn't dare to approach it.

Considering how much dried fish Fang Qiu had given her, Tingyu only struggled a couple of times as a formality before stopping.

Fang Qiu, holding Tingyu, sat on the bouncy bomb plush toy, picked up a pen, and began to write.

The background of the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very vague. Some say it is set in the Tang Dynasty, while others say it is set in the Yuan, Song and Ming Dynasties.

The setting is unclear, and there are elements from various dynasties, so there's no way to consider it.

So, Fang Qiu thought about it and then set his own dynasty.

It was set in the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties period, after the Three Kingdoms period.

This dynasty is also known as the dynasty that time travelers should absolutely not travel to.

The court was in chaos, and evil spirits were rampant.

In the imperial court, the emperor and his subjects did not act like emperors or subjects; killing was commonplace, and cannibalism was even more so than killing people.

The common people were living in misery.

The famous story of the jade body lying prone took place during the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties period...

It is clear that it is in a state of chaos.

The chaotic world depicted in "A Chinese Ghost Story" perfectly aligns with this.

As for why not choose the late Tang Dynasty, which is closer to the present,...

This is because after the publication of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yunhan Society also performed many plays about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such as Passing Five Passes and Slaying Six Generals, Dragon Roars at Changban Slope, Burning Red Cliff, Battle of Guandu, Three Heroes Fighting Lü Bu, and countless other plays.

The ending of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is that the world was unified under the Jin Dynasty.
