Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 415: Such a Master and Disciple

Xue Mu's acceptance of a disciple is actually a big deal.

Ever since "Journey to the West" spread all over the world, and top Taoists like Wujiu Temple helped him advocate for his own goals, Xue Mu was already regarded by many as the founder of the literary sect. From the perspective of "establishing the Tao", let alone the Tao of literature, at least he is the originator of the Tao of novelists and has supported many people. To this day, there are countless literati in the world who rely on storytelling and writing daily serials, and they regard Xue Mu as the founder of Taoism.

Although the Tao of novels is just a minor way that is not mainstream in today's world, no one can deny that it is indeed a Tao, and it is becoming more and more popular among the people.

The main shortcomings of Xue Mu were that he did not have a systematic theoretical foundation and that he did not formally recruit disciples to preach, so he could not say that he founded a sect. But now that I have finally taken the step of accepting a disciple, it is the official starting point for the founding of the sect. From now on, the way of novels has an orthodox source that can be recognized. Even if he does not make an argument, the disciple can sort out his words and deeds and put them into practice. The "Tao" was passed down to later generations.

This is a very important node both for the historical significance of the entire world and for Xue Mu personally.

It's a pity that Xue Mu himself doesn't have such a high-level consciousness at all. All he thinks about is that teasing the female apprentice is more fun...

"Um, Qingwu..." Xue Mu kindly helped her up, and after exploring the ring with his mind for a long time, he took out a bead chain with a smile: "Master, I didn't bring anything suitable as a meeting gift. This is an ordinary ornament. Let’s keep it as a souvenir.”

This is a strange bead chain. It is much longer than an ordinary necklace, but there is no pendant. The large and full beads are strung together, and the pearlescent light is soft and alluring. I don’t know where it should be worn.

Xiao Qingwu didn't recognize what it was, and secretly thought that he didn't know much about jewelry. The jewelry that could come from the hands of the Xingyue Sect's general manager must be a relatively high-end jewelry used by the witches, right? She declined with some embarrassment: "Qingwu wants to give me the gift of apprenticeship. How can I let the master spend money?"

"The etiquette is mutual, keep it." Xue Mu put the bead chain into her hand without any explanation, and said: "As for the apprenticeship ceremony... I don't like ordinary things, as long as it represents the most apprentice. Something sincere.”

Xiao Qingwu thought for a while and said: "Qingwu refined a piece of Sky-Seeing Jade Spiritual Essence..."

Ye Guying's heart was pounding, and she almost said, "Can you give it to me..." but Xue Mu said with a straight face: "What's the use of that foreign thing? I just want sincerity."

Xiao Qingwu asked carefully: "How to express Qingwu's sincerity?"

"Of course it's a thoughtful thing... You also know that I don't have high aspirations..."

Xiao Qingwu finally understood what this pervert meant, and muttered with a blushing face: "That..."

Xue Mu sighed: "You are really not sincere..."

"No, no, no!" Xiao Qingwu bit her lower lip and looked at a screen in the room. She took small steps and hid in. After a while, Xiao Qingwu took out a crisp voice. He came over with a small pink bellyband, put his hands on it, and almost dropped his head to the ground: "Master..."

Xue Mu smiled and took the female apprentice's little bellyband that was still warm, and the body fragrance came faintly, as fragrant as a light plum.

Xiao Qingwu's face was as red as blood, and Ye Guying cried bitterly. Jade Spiritual Essence is a magical object that can help people to understand the void. Even for those who are aware of the void, it is very effective in consolidating and stabilizing their realm. It is hard to find it all over the world! You, you, you actually changed into a bellyband! I will give you ten thousand pieces. Can you give me the chalcedony?

At this moment, Ye Guying also remembered it. It seemed that she had seen that kind of bead necklace. It was a waist chain. Of course, it couldn't be said to be some obscene thing, but most women wouldn't use it. It was often the enchantress who exposed her vagina. The slim waist, surrounded by bead chains, will add to the enchanting beauty. Ye Guying tried to think about Xiao Qingwu's shy and introverted appearance, but her slim waist was lightly exposed, and her waist chain exuded a coquettish light. The contrasting visual impact was indeed very... Xue Mu really understood this. Beautiful appreciation...

But you give this kind of meeting gift to your female apprentice, and you accept this kind of apprenticeship gift...

If this kind of apprenticeship ceremony spreads outside, the novel way will collapse. This is the way of Hehuan, okay!

"Qingwu, you are my first disciple from now on."

"Yes, Master." Xiao Qingwu managed to calm down and asked for instructions very respectfully: "Master, please tell me if our sect has any rules."

"There are no rules, just be obedient." Xue Mu put his bellyband into the ring with a smile, and said: "Let's take the first lesson today. Do you know what the eighteen looks are?"

Xiao Qingwu couldn't help it anymore: "Master, that's the magic of the house, not the way of writing..."

It doesn’t matter if I have a crush on you and am willing to be teased by you and give you a bellyband or something, but don’t treat me like a fool and fool me, I really want to learn something...

"Ahem..." Xue Mu coughed twice and said seriously: "Didn't you ask before what a character is? A character designer is the character setting of the story. For example, if you write about a chivalrous woman, what should she be in daily life? What does it look like? If you write about a witch, what should she look like? In addition to the normal appearance, what kind of appearance will you be willing to put on between the knight and the witch? They are different. This is the key to character setting. "

Even though he knew that he was forcing his words, Xiao Qingwu still listened to the valuable things and said seriously: "I see, before writing a story, you have to set up the character image and personality. In the story, In writing, the performance of the characters must conform to the personality in the setting..."

Xue Mu was startled. This apprentice is very enlightened. No wonder he has learned so much about medicine at such a young age...

He also put away his thoughts of teasing the shy girl and answered seriously: "Yes. The character setting can be a fixed personality pattern or a growth pattern, which changes with experience. When you are just learning, you should focus on short stories. Strengthen and ponder the fixed personalities of one or two characters, and don’t be too ambitious.”

Modern people find this kind of thing casual and ordinary. But even in ancient China, where the literary style was extremely prosperous, the systematic discussion of literary theory began with "Wen Xin Diao Long" in the Southern Dynasties. How many years of development was that? And it’s not a novel studies monograph. Not to mention the world of martial arts that has just begun to explore literature. This is indeed the only way in this world.

Xiao Qingwu himself had written a bunch of waste manuscripts, and he had a vague understanding of it. He was so enlightened when he was told this. He was overjoyed and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Master."

"Characters are the soul of the story, and the skeleton and flesh and blood of the story are..." Xue Mu slowly told the basic theory of novels. Xiao Qingwu took a pen and paper and took notes carefully. At the same time, Ye Guying was secretly taking notes.

Under the Wuhen Taoist sect, there is basically no one who doesn’t pay attention to storytelling. At most, there is a difference between strong interest and ordinary interest. Ye Guying is somewhere in between, not as interested as Yingyi, but still very serious about it. That's why I personally sat at Xue Mu's place to wait for the manuscript. She didn't expect that this follow-up would lead to a systematic discussion, which was a treasure for her.

For a moment, even the absurd idea of ​​peeping into the heavenly jade spirit marrow for a bellyband was forgotten.

In the first lecture, Xue Mu didn’t say too much. He briefly talked about the three elements of a novel and said: "Although this is a small way, there are some impressive things. If you really study it carefully, the sects inside are not inferior to your martial arts." , In fact, I am also exploring it myself, and I haven’t been able to get a full glimpse. Today I will give a rough outline, and I will sort it out in detail later and teach you slowly. "

"yes."

Two "yes" sounds came out at the same time. Xiao Qingwu, who was saluting, looked at the shadow beside him in surprise and was momentarily confused.

There are really people...

Then... wasn't it seen that the tripod was given? Male or female?

Xiao Qingwu sniffed, speechless and choked.

"Have you finished speaking?" The door was pushed open, and Weiye ran in, standing in front of Xiao Qingwu with her hands on her hips and laughing: "Quickly, call me Senior Sister! Hahaha..."

Xue Mu knocked her: "What kind of ghost senior sister are you?"

"I am my father's daughter. Shouldn't my father's disciples call me senior sister?" Wei Ye was very happy: "I have wanted a junior sister for a long time, but I have never had the chance. Finally I have waited, hahaha..."

Xiao Qingwu blinked and looked at her for a long time. He couldn't help but pinch her round face and said softly, "Well, hello, little junior sister."

Weiye exploded: "I already have a senior sister, and that person is very, very bad, and specially bullies me! I want a junior sister! I also want to bully others!"

Xue Mu lifted her collar up: "I asked you to contact someone, why did you come back?"

Weiye waved her hands and feet and struggled: "He's already here! He's right outside..."

"Then why don't you call someone in quickly! Is being a senior sister more important than doing business?" Xue Mu was furious: "It's decided, you are the junior sister!"

"No..." Weiye drooped her hands and feet and stopped moving: "Dad, I was wrong, please spank you, okay? I want to be a senior sister..."
