Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 48
Bao Gong went to Chenzhou.

Just now when Su Wen talked about this, he saw a mist under the stage, it was desolate and cold, miserable, and the empty Bailaitai banquet was full of people in a blink of an eye.

Most of the standing ones are blurred silhouettes and shadows, and several overlapping ones occupy only one position, unlike those sitting, all of them have solid bodies and clear faces, and each person occupies a seat at the wine table, eating and drinking.

Whether you are a human being or a ghost, you need capital to gain a foothold.

Right now, these illusory shapes and blurred shadow outlines are new ghosts and little ghosts without capital, lonely souls without a master, so they can only stand, and a few little ghosts are stacked together to occupy a place and watch the show.

Those old ghosts who are enshrined and have a strong net worth are different. They have solid bodies and clear faces. They are not only qualified to sit at the wine table, occupy seats, enjoy eating and drinking, and even speak out to communicate with people in the mortal world.

Why are they here?

For the hour has come!

At midnight, the gate of ghosts is closed.

This is the last hour for the ghosts to stay in the yang world, and it is also a critical moment when the yin world and the yang world connect and even overlap.

The gate of ghosts will open at the beginning of the zishi and close at the end of the zishi. During this period, Yin and Yang are connected, and the two realms overlap.

The ghosts appeared.

If it were someone else, it would be the Zhou family theater troupe with many years of acting experience, and I'm afraid I couldn't help but panic and panic.

But Su Wen's expression was as usual, like the cold, miserable ghosts in the audience, they were just ordinary audiences, nothing special, they didn't pay attention at all, and went on their own storytelling.

"Duke Bao asked for an order to go to Chenzhou to check for relief. It's not just for no reason, it's just a whim."

"A few days ago, when Baogong was sitting in the Kaifeng mansion, someone outside the mansion suddenly beat drums and complained."

"Bao Gong Shengtang took a look and saw an old farmer who was over sixty years old and his old wife, holding a bloody letter in his hand to sue the current court, An Lehou - Pang Yu!"

Su Wen stopped speaking, and turned to the audience: "Do you guys know who this An Lehou Pang Yu is?"

"who?"

"Say it!"

"What's the point of selling, can't you find death?"

"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."

There was a burst of faint words from the audience, mixed with bursts of strange laughter, which made people shudder.

Su Wen didn't care about it, and answered the question by himself: "Pang Yu is the son of Pang Ji, the grand master of the current dynasty, the brother of the noble concubine Pang Yan, a relative of the emperor, a noble man in heaven, and a royal pen appointed by the emperor. A month ago, the imperial envoy who was ordered to go out of Beijing and go to Chenzhou to preside over the disaster relief!"

"Ah!"

"What a big deal!"

"Imperial relatives, hehehe..."

There was a sneer of yin and yang in the audience.

No wonder.

Ghosts are ghosts and spirits, incomplete things, and their personalities have always been distorted. The pain and hatred before death, and the desire for torture after death, make them more extreme, cruel, cynical, and hating the enemy. That's perfectly normal.

For such an audience, Su Wen's "Three Heroes, Five Righteousnesses and Bao Qingtian" is actually not a very good choice.

Because koans have a common feature, that is, to endorse the ruling group.

Although there are narrations and descriptions of tyrants and bullies, corrupt officials, and even the relatives of the emperor and princely families who are corrupt and perverted the law, the book exposes the darkness and evil of the society, and it is clear that the evil cannot prevail, the evil cannot be blamed, and those who do evil will be punished. , the Juche idea that the wronged must be innocent, but they are still defending and endorsing the ruling group.

There must be a sage king in the book, there must be a ruthless king, corrupt and perverting the law, bullying the good and harming the people are all done by those tyrants, bullies and corrupt officials. , I didn’t find out in time, and eradicate those corrupt officials, and I will definitely see them later.

All in all, the scapegoat for bad things must be cast on those tyrants, bullies, and corrupt officials. They are black sheep, they are the chief culprits, their crimes are unforgivable, they share the wrath of heaven and man, and they are the biggest and biggest villains.

Good deeds should be placed on Lord Qingtian, they are the real court, the real officials, all of them are selfless, fair and honest, pleading for the people, loyal to the monarch and the country, and the majesty who sits on the dragon chair is even more a wise monarch , They will unite the monarch and the ministers, serve the country and the people, kill traitors and eliminate evil, and finally get the people to be fair, and the world is bright and bright.

This way of writing actually divides the ruling group into two sides. The main side is always good. If there are problems and mistakes, they are all caused by a few corrupt officials. No responsibility, on the contrary, Sheng Tianzi and Master Qingtian will definitely bring him to justice.

This is undoubtedly an endorsement for the ruling group.

So, how can the ordinary people in the market empathize?

They are the ants who are ruled, harvested, exploited, and squeezed!

For them, listening to official documents, watching Qingtian opera, beheading corrupt officials and filthy officials is enjoyable, but that is only superficial venting of emotions, and they cannot truly empathize with them and burst out their inner emotions.

If the ordinary people in the market are like this, let alone these ghosts who are not lacking in mind, distorted, cynical, and hate the world.

It is difficult for these ghosts to sympathize with these official documents that praise meritorious deeds and endorse for officials, but instead make them feel disgusted.

Therefore, it was not a good choice for Su Wen to go on stage tonight and say that Bao Qingtian was the one who endorsed the ruler and seemed to be pleading for the people, but in fact he was still superior to the common people. Those heroic heroes who spattered five steps of blood when they were angry, like Wu Song who was oppressed by all parties and had nowhere to sue the officials, and finally had no choice but to raise a knife and splash blood on the Lion House.

From the perspective of empathizing with the audience and harvesting aura, Su Wen's talk about Water Margin tonight is the best choice.

But Su Wen finally chose to talk about Bao Gong.

why?
Because he came here tonight to feed chicken soup to ghosts, not blood.

The effect of the Water Margin is definitely better than that of Bao Gong, but the effect is so good that it stimulates these guys, what should I do?
The devil knows what they will do when they get excited?
In this case, storytelling should not only think about the audience's empathy and increase the aura, but also consider the impact and your own safety.

Of course, how to say it depends on how much aura these ghosts can contribute.

If Lingyun contributes enough, then Su Wen doesn't mind changing the plot, changing the content, and changing the Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses, Qingtian Baogong, into an anti-book like the Water Margin, telling a different story. Bao Gong, a different blue sky!

Therefore, the future of a book is the result of the joint efforts of the author and readers.

This is called throwing bricks to attract jade.

Now, Su Wen has thrown out his brick, and it depends on what kind of jade can be drawn next.
