I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 140 New Book Release
"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, please remember to help keep the matter of my trumpet secret this time."

"pen and ink:……

Pen and ink: OK, I know.When is your new book coming out? "

I mentioned the confidential matter to the editor again,

Ji Zhuo nodded in satisfaction. As for the second half of the editor's sentence,
As long as I didn't reply, I didn't see it, as long as I didn't see it, I don't need to reply, um...

Putting down his phone, Ji Zhuo hailed a taxi on the road and went back to his residence.

……

"Thunderbolt..."

The sound of keyboard tapping rang intermittently in the quiet study room,

Once again a sunset and sunrise.

Ji Zhuo spent another afternoon in the study.

"call……"

Waiting for Ji Zhuo to stop typing on the keyboard and end today's code words,

Outside the house the sun is setting again,

Only the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the gaps of the tall buildings in the distance, reflecting the slightly swaying shadows of the branches and leaves of the trees under the wall outside the window.

Ji Zhuo let out a long breath,
Looking at the new chapters filled with words and sentences on the codeword software,

I'm quite satisfied, today's coding is quite smooth, the same as yesterday,
Three more chapters were written.

Adding yesterday's three chapters and six chapters, it seems that it is almost enough to submit and publish.

then,

Skillfully copy and paste, save the manuscript of the six chapters into a docx file, and send it to the editor,

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Contribute to "Night Tour Fengdu City".docx"

While waiting for the editor to reply, Ji Zhuo also stretched his sore arms and back,
Do you want to find a master for a while?

When Ji Zhuo was thinking about it, the editor replied.

"The other party has downloaded the received file."

"Brush and ink: Have you finished writing the beginning of the new book? Should the contract follow the previous one?"

"Clumsy and uncommon: Mmm. Boss, take a look and give me some advice."

Ji Zhuo and Feimo Novels had already signed a long-term contract for online serial works.

The time limit is five years. If Ji Zhuo serializes works on the Internet within five years, under the same conditions, Ji Zhuo needs to serialize in non-mo novels or Shiyue.
Ji Zhuo enjoys 80.00% online revenue sharing and full copyright for the published works.

Correspondingly, the conditions are too generous, so there are no guaranteed recommendation resources for other great contracts or better contracts.

Of course, this contract only involves online serial works.

the other side,
Non-ink Fiction Editorial Department,
Pen Mo looked at the message from Ji Zhuo, and felt a little complicated,
If you give me some advice, then you have to listen to it, as if you have heard my opinion when I say it,
However, as far as Ji Zhuo's writing style and type are special, it is better to stick to his own ideas, and his editor's opinion may not necessarily be correct.

"Bink: Well, let me read your new book first."

With this complicated mood in mind, pen and ink replied a message,
Then he opened the opening document of the new book sent by Ji Zhuo, and read it.

"Night trip to Fengdu City?"

"Is this a suspenseful ghost novel?"

Pen and ink nodded, this type seems to be okay,
Although the suspense is not very good, it is much better than Ji Zhuo's previous fairy tales serialized on the Internet.

Then he opened the pen and ink, and when he saw the introduction, he felt that Ji Zhuo gave him a stick.

"Genre: Myth, Classical Myth."

"Introduction: Take the road to Huangquan, cross the river of forgetfulness..."

It's not because of the introduction, this introduction is quite interesting,
This is the one on the top of this introduction, the unique logo of Ji Zhuo's contribution, type description,

It made his mood more complicated, that's right, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it,

The feeling of being stuck in the chest is uncomfortable, it is really indescribable.

"call……"

"It's okay, I've written all the fairy tales, there's nothing else I can't write."

"The genre of mythology is always closer to the attributes of online novels than fairy tales. Isn't there a category of classical mythology in the category of fairy tales?"

Pen and ink let out a long breath,
With Ji Zhuo's criminal record, this theme and genre don't seem to be so unacceptable.

Although Ji Zhuo's classical mythology is definitely not the same thing as the classification of websites.

With this feeling in mind, the pen and ink slid down to look at the text.

"...When I fell asleep, there was still a violent storm outside the temple, and the wind with raindrops..."

He took another deep breath, calmed down, and read the text carefully with pen and ink,

Looking at the text, the pen and ink mood gradually calmed down,

The more you look at it, the slower it becomes, and you gradually immerse yourself in it.

The first feeling when I started to read pen and ink is,

The author's writing style seems to have improved again,

The description and handling of some details are really solid,

Every book is like this, and it is scary to see obvious progress.

Looking at it now, I feel that the writing is very good at a glance.

But when I look down, I don’t have so many thoughts in pen and ink,

The world and stories described in the book attract attention and gradually become fully immersed in it.

Thoughts follow the author's strokes, and the fingers moving the chapter text unconsciously fluctuate again and again,

That's all for Chapter 1,
Then Chapter 2,

Pen and ink can see more clearly,

Watching the protagonist Zhang Cheng follow the Lord of the Land to the first stop of the Underworld, Jinji Mountain and Egouling.

The author's description of the vicious dog and the golden rooster in Vigouling is really in place, and it seems that people can feel dizzy and bloody through the text.
Amidst the heart-piercing screams and wailing of the souls of the dead on the Egou Ridge in Jinji Ridge, the protagonist followed Tudi Gong through the gap between the two mountains.

Then the plot enters Chapter 3,

The protagonist arrives at Wangxiang Terrace.

Looking back at the hometown, the souls of the dead stopped, and the ghosts shed tears, looking back at the homeland of the world, unwilling to leave for a long time,

This is going forward, that is, the yin and yang are completely separated, all ashes return to ashes, and dust returns to dust.

Ren Eryang is so prosperous in the world, it is hard to turn back here.

Here, the protagonist Zhang Cheng saw a lot of dead souls who were unwilling to leave,
Some were young, some were old, some died of illness, and some died in vain.

Some wore brocade clothes, and some wore old clothes.

There are people wearing shrouds who have been bitten and scratched by the vicious golden rooster in front of them,
There are also those wearing ordinary clothes, but they are still intact here.

Most of the ghost soldiers standing on the edge of Wangxiang Terrace didn't urge them much, and let the dead souls on the stage cry to the Yangshi looking back, heartbroken.

It was only after too long that I stepped forward to urge him to continue on the road.

On the lookout platform, Zhang Cheng saw a boy who was completely soaked in water.
The boy was lying on the ground, facing the outside of Wangxiang Terrace, looking back at Yangshi, crying for his parents, very sad.

Every time he raised his hand and grabbed it in front of him, in Zhang Cheng's eyes, the boy's body was empty,

This scene makes people feel compassionate,

The author also has a lot of sentences to describe.

The land master next to him also told Zhang Cheng,
"On the road to the Underworld, there are many people who died of illness, in vain, evil, and sin, but these babies who died young are the most uncomfortable."

"At a young age, most of them don't have too many sins. A lifetime just begins. Afterwards, there should be joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows... I don't know which family it is."

These words made Zhang Cheng silent.

The plot of Chapter 3 ends here.

……

The pen and ink have been immersed in the plot of this novel,
Then look down and watch carefully, for fear of missing the details.

Chapter 4,
The plot then unfolds.

Zhang Cheng wondered if he felt pity for the apparently drowned boy,

walked behind the boy,
The land master helped Zhang Cheng to see the world where the boy was looking back.
It turned out that the scene of the hometown that the boy looked back at was a meandering river.

On the bank of the river, there is a couple.

It was night, and the couple, guarding the lamp, were walking along the river bank, calling each other by their baby names.

"Nannan, come back, come back."

"Nannan, come back... Mom and Dad are here to take you home, Nannan..."

The woman in the couple yelled, her heart was broken, she would be out of breath from time to time, and she would fall on the river bank,
"Nannan, come back... Mom is here to take you home..."

"Nannan, don't be afraid, follow the light of mother, mother will take you home..."

"Woooooooo..."

The sound of crying is the boy on the looking-out stage, the boy is crying,

Stretch out your hand to keep grasping the scene in front of you,

It's just that the yin and yang are separated, so it's natural to catch an empty space.

"...This doll was bewitched by someone to play in the water by the river. One accidentally slipped into the bottom of the river, and was dragged down by the water ghost at the bottom of the river."

"There was a person by the river at the time, the one who bewitched the doll, but he was also afraid, so he stood and watched the doll drown, and did not rescue him, fearing that he would be held responsible, and did not call for anyone."

The land master seemed to know the situation and told Zhang Cheng.

When the drowned boy heard the land master's words, he turned his head and threw himself on the ground begging the land master to go back.
The land master just sighed again and again,

Speak to the drowned boy,
"Yin and Yang are separated, don't let your parents worry about it, go on the road early, maybe you can support this family in the next life."

After hearing this, the boy got up and followed the ghost soldiers on the road.

The land master also took Zhang Cheng to move forward.

Chapter 4 ends in a conversation between the land master and Zhang Cheng,

"Land Lord, what about the water ghost who dragged the male doll into the water?"

"In front."

"What about the person who tricked the boy into the water?"

"It's in the back."

Then Chapter 5,
Chapter 6,
The plot continues,

Zhang Cheng followed the land master to another stop on Huangquan Road,
Outside the city of Fengdu, the city of death is in vain,
In the city of vain death, many dead souls stop,
Those who died unjustly, those who died in vain, stayed here for a long time, unwilling to leave,

Naturally, the souls of the dead do not eat or drink, but are just in a daze, waiting for the wronged to be avenged,
Waiting for the resentment of dying in vain to subside.

Here in the city of vain,
Zhang Cheng saw many dead souls again,

Some have broken limbs, and some have ashen faces.

There are natural disasters, and there are people who die.

Some fell to their deaths by accident, and some were frightened to death.

Zhang Cheng was puzzled by so many dead souls lingering in this futile city,
Just ask the Landlord,
"Master of the land, does the underworld not allow people who died in vain to be reincarnated?"

The land master replied to Zhang Cheng,
"The underworld tolerates all living beings and the six realms, how can it not tolerate poor people who died in vain."

"It's not that the underworld doesn't let them reincarnate, it's these people who died in vain, and they don't want to leave."

"Here, there are still many dead souls who have been reincarnated, but they just left some resentments in the city of Wushi, and these resentments are gathered together and wait for a result."

"Like here..."

As he spoke, the Lord of the Land pointed Zhang Cheng to a figure in the City of Undeserved Death,
The figure had wounds on his head, his eyes were gouged out, his lips were cut, his hands were cut off, and his whole body was covered with scars.
Just wandering around in the city of vain death in a daze.

"This is the resentment of a villain in the mortal world who killed and maimed several people. Several people have already concluded the merits and demerits of this life and went to reincarnation, leaving only resentment waiting here."

"Only when the grievance is avenged and karma comes, the soul of the wicked person will come here, and the pain of this body will be reflected on the soul of the wicked person before it will dissipate."

"Like here, when a guest dies in a foreign land, he is unwilling to be reconciled. I am afraid that he will have to wait until his body is buried in the ground and return to his hometown before reincarnating."

"Also here, I am alive and dead by my heirs, but I still don't want to be at ease. I am willing to be a wandering ghost in the dead city here, wandering around, and I don't want to leave."

The Lord of the Land pointed to the dead souls nearby and told Zhang Cheng,
Zhang Cheng nodded,

But he was also in the city of vain death, and saw a drowned ghost wandering in the city of vain death,
"Lord of the land, those who died unjustly are pitiful, but I heard that those who drowned need to find a substitute ghost to escape the disaster and come to reincarnate."

"It's pitiful for those who are caught to die as scapegoats. They still need to catch scapegoats. This is a constant cycle of reincarnation. When will it end?"

"That person is the water ghost that you saw catching the boy to die for. When he got into the water, he was entangled in the water plants at the bottom of the river, and there was no one around to rescue him. He struggled repeatedly when he died, and he was extremely happy."

"After death, there was resentment in my heart, resentment and envy for the living, and I lingered at the bottom of the river, insisting on letting others experience the pain of life and death. I arrested three people and died for them before walking on the road to Huangquan."

The land master explained for Zhang Cheng,
"It's not that water ghosts need someone to die in order to be reincarnated. It's that water ghosts die painfully, and they often feel resentful and want to protect the living."

"It's not that the water ghost can't leave the waters of the river to reincarnate in the underworld. It's because of resentment that he refuses to leave."

When Zhang Cheng understood it, he understood it.

Turning his head again, Zhang Cheng saw next to him a woman in plain clothes with an ashen complexion, wandering around the city of Wushi with something like pus dripping from her mouth.

"...If the younger generation is curious, you can go and ask."

The land master smiled.

Zhang Chengcheng followed the land master and walked over.
When I got closer, I heard the woman who was spitting out pus was uttering an indistinct song,
"... Lian Lian... You and I have made a promise for a hundred years..."

"If someone dies at the age of 97, he will wait for three years on the bridge..."

then……

The plot at the beginning of the sixth chapter ends here.

Seeing that the pen and ink that was originally immersed in this story was forced to be drawn out,
This feeling is like just falling asleep, and then a gong is knocked on the ear,
I just took two mouthfuls of delicious food, and I was about to take a big bite, only to find that it was gone.

This heart makes people uncomfortable, and their faces are distorted!

This damn broken dog!
I couldn't stretch my pen and ink, and couldn't help but cursed mentally.

However, he took two long breaths.

Calm down,

Allow yourself to try to see the beginning of the novel from the editor's point of view, not the reader's point of view.

to be honest,
These six chapters of the novel already contain a lot of content,

Changed to the way of writing in Biede's novel, after the sixth chapter, it is probably still in Jinjiling.

But... this is not contradictory to the broken chapter dog!

Rubbing his brows, his heart felt congested with pen and ink,

This is exciting, it's gone.

He doubted whether the author did it on purpose.

"call……"

The pen and ink took a few more breaths, trying to calm down the emotions again,

Looking at the beginning and end of this novel,

Seriously began to think about how the novel started like this,
The first feeling is quite in line with his taste,
The second is that this mythical novel is really worthy of its classification,
The writing method is obviously closer to published novels, and the style is not as refreshing as online novels.

It is a very calm narrative style, just like listening to stories told by adults when I was a child.

It's interesting though.

But is this style suitable for web novels?
This is a problem,
But if this problem is placed on Ji Zhuo, it is not a problem anymore.

It seems that Ji Zhuo's book fits the style of online novels,
As far as a physical book is concerned, this book is still pretty good.
It would be nice if it could be updated sooner.

make a judgment

Pen and ink nodded,

Then he messaged Ji Zhuo back.

"Brush and ink: the style fits the type of novel."

When these words were sent out, pen and ink felt that the words were really nice.

"Benmo: If you think there is no problem, just say it.

Pen and ink: Your market judgment is sharper than mine, and your novels have their own characteristics, so I won't say more. "

Here

Ji Zhuo felt a little dejected when he saw the message sent by pen and ink.
Why do I have a sharper market judgment, why do I feel like I am scolding people?

And it has its own characteristics... Ji Zhuo felt even more frustrated,

This evaluation is a bad start.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Okay, thank you, boss.

Clumsy and uncommon: Then the boss, I built a trumpet to publish the book. "

Ji Zhuo quickly replied, and ended the chat with the pen and ink,
Open a new book, or listen to some "frustrating talk".

(End of this chapter)
