I write novels in Liyue

"But it's a male ghost, and it's said to be tall and muscular, and it specifically targets men."

"Is what you're talking about really a ghost? Something feels really strange..."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion. Some envied Ning Caichen for his extraordinary romance, while others aspired to be like Hu Chixia, a chivalrous alchemist who rid the world of evil. But most felt sorry for Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, this pair of lovelorn lovers.

There are also many people who are destined not to be together, yet they still rush headlong into it like moths to a flame, and then, in order to fulfill each other's wishes, their love, like that of Zi Xuan and Xu Changqing, evokes heavy memories and makes them cry their eyes out.

"Humans and ghosts are destined to be apart... Jiu'er... what should I do..."

In a corner of the teahouse, Master Chang picked up his teacup in a daze.

Tears streamed down his cheeks, mingling with the tea, which he then drank down.

Bitter, unbearably bitter.

Miserable.

The bland and bitter tea was no match for the oppression and sadness in my heart.

This moment.

He wanted to drink.

I want to get completely drunk so I can stop thinking about going to find Jiu'er like in the play...

Humans and ghosts are destined to be apart...

Different paths...

In front of the stage, Fang Qiu also wiped away her tears, not because she was frightened by Bei Dou's gradually cooling expression and the hand on her shoulder.

Ok……

Although this is one of the reasons...

Ok……

Or

Perhaps more than one layer...

But I was more moved by the performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" by Yun Jin and the members of Yun Han Society. Indeed, no matter how many times you watch it, a classic is a classic.

Whether it's love, social critique, or the exploration of human nature and life and death, it's all exceptional.

Furthermore, it doesn't simply tell you the truth, but rather uses stories to help you understand it.

Next, all we have to wait for is the final scene of the story, where the song that almost everyone in the previous life could hum a few lines of, and the surprise she prepared for Hu Tao, will make their appearance.

Chapter 542 A shop that helps ghosts like Nie Xiaoqian reincarnate

Looking at Hu Chixia lying injured on the ground on the stage, Hu Tao smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Not bad.

not bad.

The concept of the Hall of Rebirth is used as the theme without any incongruity. Although it is about love between a human and a ghost, both parties in the love clearly know that humans and ghosts are different, and that after death, a person should not have any more attachment to the mortal world.

Then there is the explanation of good and evil.

She had heard many ghost stories and watched many ghost plays before, but without exception, they all depicted humans as good and ghosts as evil, ending with the ghosts being killed.

Fang Qiu's play is different.

She no longer simply discusses humans and ghosts, but incorporates good and evil into the discussion of humans and ghosts.

Those bandits who robbed the mountains, and those profit-driven people in Guobei County, are all evil.

The Tree Demon Granny, the Black Mountain Demon, and Xiao Qing are also evil.

Whether it's Hu Chixia, Ning Caichen, or Nie Xiaoqian who is a ghost, they are all good.

Of course, there are also those who write the surname Hu for the great heroes who slay demons in the book.

Moreover, and most importantly, Hu Chixia's change in his views on life and death, and later, his philosophy aligned with that of the Hall of Rebirth.

These were all pleasant surprises.

She really liked the birthday gift.

She turned her head to look at Fang Qiu and saw that Fang Qiu was looking at Ning Caichen, who was crying while holding Nie Xiaoqian on the stage, with tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.

Pear blossoms weeping in the rain.

Her beauty is beyond compare.

However, for some reason, Sister Beidou went around behind Fang Qiu and put her hand on his shoulder.

Is something the matter?

But why is Fang Qiu just quietly watching the stage without saying a word? Sister Beidou is also just putting her hand on Fang Qiu's shoulder without saying a word either?

Shen He stared quietly at the stage, a hint of emotion welling up in his blank gaze.

Seeing that Fang Qiu's body stiffened and remained motionless for a long time, Bei Dou turned to look at Fang Qiu.

When she saw Fang Qiu still staring blankly at the stage, with tears glistening on her fair cheeks, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

She had assumed that the birthday gift she gave to Hu Tao wouldn't include a knife.

Unexpectedly, near the end, Fang Qiu still ruthlessly struck.

Without the slightest hesitation.

In the end, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian didn't even exchange a glance.

And just like that, they were completely separated.

She originally intended to teach Fang Qiu a lesson, such as going to her house tonight and giving her a good thrashing.

Let her understand why the flower is so red.

It was from slapping myself that made my skin red!

The moment the girl put her hand on Fang Qiu's shoulder, she started crying again.

It made her feel a little reluctant.

He's a guy you can both love and hate.

"I really envy Hu Chixia in the movie, he can see ghosts."

Chongyun sighed, took out an ice pop, and put it in his mouth.

"To seek justice and repay kindness, to uphold righteousness, to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons—that is chivalry! As expected of Miss Fang Qiu, you wrote it so well, and the members of Yunhan Society also did a great job."

Xingqiu nodded with admiration, then turned to Chongyun and said, "As expected, Miss Fangqiu also has a chivalrous heart. Let's invite Miss Fangqiu and your... aunt to go and do some chivalrous deeds another day."

At this point, Xingqiu felt a strange sensation.

I feel like the generational hierarchy is all messed up...

"I think you shouldn't bring your aunt along. Last time I saw her catch the treasure-hunting gang, she kicked one of them half to death. When they were taken to Bubu Lodge, Doctor Bai Shu wasn't there. It was that little girl named Qi Qi who took over. She almost died in Bubu Lodge. Luckily, Doctor Bai Shu came back and saved her life. I heard she's still lying in Bubu Lodge now, but she hasn't been arrested and imprisoned."

Chongyun glanced at Shen He, then leaned close to Xingqiu's ear and whispered something.

"That's really exaggerated?"

Xingqiu was taken aback.

"Yes, for a long time after the incident, no treasure-hunting group dared to go down that road."

"You're not talking about that road I often take, are you?"

"Yes."

"No wonder I haven't seen anyone lately when I've been doing my chivalrous deeds..."

Just as they were discussing, Shen He cast a questioning glance at them, and the two immediately shut up and remained silent.

Xiangling wiped away her tears along with Xinyan.

Guoba leaned against Xiangling's feet, intently watching the stage.

"As expected of Miss Fang Qiu, her literary talent is outstanding."

After expressing his admiration, Maple Leaf turned to Zhongli and asked, "Mr. Zhongli, what do you think?"

He had been in Liyue for some time now, and had long heard of the great name of Master Zhongli of the Hall of Rebirth.

Today he finally gets to taste it, so he really wants to ask Zhongli...

My opinion on Fang Qiu's works.

See what things you didn't notice.

Upon hearing Maple Leaf's question, Paimon, who was crying while frantically eating snacks, and Ying, who was sitting to the side, also turned their gazes toward Zhongli.

"The pacing is just right, and although the story is simple and clear, it contains many life lessons and is very exciting. It also portrays the complexities of human nature in a chaotic world through the perspectives of different people. There is selfishness and self-interest, but also the kind-heartedness of the heart. Every character can withstand scrutiny and thought. In addition, with Yunhan Society's excellent performance and reasonable distribution of the plot, as you said, it is a masterpiece that can be enjoyed repeatedly and will reveal different flavors each time."

Zhongli picked up a cup of tea, looked at the stage, took a sip, and slowly gave his evaluation.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Zhongli. I have benefited greatly from it."

Kaedehara Manyo expressed his gratitude.

"So this story contains so many lessons! Fang Qiu and Zhong Li are truly remarkable. One can write it so well, and the other can grasp its deeper meaning after just one reading."

Paimon said.

Ying also cast an admiring glance at him.

"These are just some superficial views."

Zhongli said, "The story continues, let's keep watching."

"Ah."

Kaedehara Manyo nodded and turned his gaze to the stage.

On stage, a scene transition.

The story is coming to an end.

The music continued its mournful melody as Ning Caichen led Nie Xiaoqian back to her hometown and buried her.

When Ning Caichen stood up, the plaintive singing stopped.
