Without anyone interrupting him, the old blind man continued singing until the next morning.
Tang Zhao also didn't expect that this piece of music was actually in a continuous version, divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. The first version tells how the protagonist accidentally climbed up from a cloud to Yunzhong City, visited the city, and met a fairy. The second book tells the bloody love story between him and the fairy, with repeated pulls, misunderstandings, confessions and finally marriage. The third book takes a sudden turn, telling the story of a fairy being kidnapped by an inexplicable monster, sealed in a coffin and about to sink into the depths of the sea of clouds, and then the protagonist goes to save her.
This song is the same as the one in "Yunmeng Xiandu", although the routine is all cliché and there are many inconsistencies. But the setting is unexpectedly full and real. Moreover, the music is indeed more realistic than before.
Here, this fairy city in the clouds has no name. It has always been called fairy city or fairy city. But in the song, this fairy city has a name, clearly called "Tongtian Baiyujing".
When Tang Zhao heard this name, he was excited and had a thought: This name was either real, or if it was made up, it must not have been made up by the arranger himself. There should be other origins that he just used.
In addition, the settings are also much richer and more detailed.
For example, in the original book, the fairy city is described in one place in the east and one in the west. It is not a system. It has the feeling that the author writes wherever he wants and where he writes. Some of them are described in detail and lifelike, while others are only mentioned in one stroke or even inexplicable. Lost the writing.
However, Xianziqu systematically presents "Five Immortal Towers, Twelve Scenes" and seventeen scenes of immortal houses. Each fairyland not only has settings, but also directions. You can even draw a believable map by following the protagonist.
The protagonist went to the fairy city. First he took a casual tour on his own, and then met a fairy at the 'Qiong Tower'. He followed the fairy around to visit the fairyland. Each scene was described in detail, each with its own characteristics, some magnificent and some beautiful. Spectacular. There are even immortals in some fairy scenes. Each of these immortals has unique settings and different temperaments, just like living people.
The protagonist has lived in the fairy city for two years, and has varying degrees of interaction with these immortals, either close or distant, with grudges and grudges. This part of the plot is also very vivid. Those immortals on the clouds all seemed to be real, their words and deeds were different, and they didn't have the feeling of being tools.
Such rich details and vivid characters split the story into two parts. In one part, the plot of heroes and beauties is very procedural and cliché, but in the other part, the daily descriptions are real, believable, warm and beautiful, and make people yearn for it.
It is worth mentioning that this song is be.
The ending is tragic.
In the end, although the protagonist went through all kinds of hardships to defeat the monster, he did not have time to save the fairy. The fairy's coffin still fell into the depths of the sea of clouds and was buried by layers of clouds and mist. Half of the fairy city collapsed, and the other half of the fairy city was blown away by the strong wind. The protagonist fell on the top of the mountain and watched his lover go away with the wind. He could only stay on the top of the mountain. Cry loudly, return to the world, and never forget it for the rest of your life.
When Tang Zhao heard this, he really wanted to flip the table.
Yes, he listened.
At first, Tang Zhao was not in the mood to listen to the story because his words were too watery and he had to keep an eye on Meng Huazhou. But as Meng Huazhou became more honest, and the story got better and better, and the various settings were full and realistic, he inevitably listened to it.
Of course, Tang Zhao instinctively didn't think the story was very good, he just thought it was ridiculous. But it doesn't matter if it's bloody, it's attractive. Isn’t the reason why the old routine of spilling blood is so enduring because of its wide audience? Tang Zhao's aesthetics are not that simple. Ever since he started working with Mr. Chen, he has loved all kinds of hot-blooded novels. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to read "Yunmeng Fairy City" in one night.

However, he didn't expect to be stabbed in the back at the end.
How could it finally collapse?
Although the previous endings of Yunmeng Fairy City were also different, they used the conventional ending where the protagonist wakes up from his dream and is still on the top of the mountain. It feels like a dream. The fairy city may exist, or it may not exist. If it exists, those fairies must still be living happily.
Unexpectedly, Xianziqu turned out to be pure be. The fairy seemed to have been sealed forever. The immortals on the clouds died and dispersed one after another. Most of the fairy scene collapsed, and the fairy city became a dead place. It was really miserable.
Moreover, although the last scene is about heroes and beauties, the level of description is extremely high, the atmosphere is well rendered, the endings of various characters are sad but in line with their characters, and there is a kind of tragedy that is destined to be desolate. The final description of the fairy city collapsing bit by bit is even more shocking and has a strong sense of imagery.
"No, this is the end? No one can save the fairy? She will sleep forever? Is this reasonable? There will be no next book? In the next book, change the protagonist to save her! Even if it has an open ending."
When the string was plucked for the last time, Tang Zhao was the first to shout.
Not to mention that the old blind man was startled, even Meng Huazhou looked at him strangely - Why are you so bossy? I don’t even have real feelings, but you have real feelings? No wonder you asked me to listen to music with you. You really want to listen to it yourself?
The old blind man wasn't too afraid of him, and patiently explained: "It's really gone. The three books I learned when I was a kid ended here. If you don't like it, can I compile another one for you? But how long will it take for me to do that?" It takes me a month to think of words.”
Tang Zhao sighed and said: "Forget it, the story you are making up is not that story. It seems that this is a tragedy. I hate the abuse of the master the most, and he will continue to abuse him to the end. The first cool article is just to disgust me later?"
Meng Huazhou was even more confused. He had seen Tang Zhao look very young before, but because of his aura, he thought he had maintained his appearance well. In fact, he was an older senior. Now it seems that he may not be that old, and he may not be able to catch up with him. .
Wait... Wouldn't it be more terrifying for such a powerful person to be so young?
He glanced at the depressed Tang Zhao, but hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask the old blind man some questions, was he afraid that he might offend the angry swordsman and be cut in half with a sword?
Tang Zhao prepared himself mentally, but noticed that Meng Huazhou was hesitant to speak, and said: "It's already this time, why are you hesitating? If you still have anything to say, ask quickly. The master of the room will be back soon and he won't have time."
Meng Huazhou didn't understand where Tang Zhao's inexplicable concerns came from - the owner of the house? Isn't that also a gangster?
What if the gangster comes back? If he is sensible, he is lucky. If he is not sensible, it is nothing more than a surprise, so what does he care?
For Meng Huazhou, who was born in Jingzhe Villa, Tang Zhao's scrupulous temperament is even more incredible than those demons who kill without blinking an eye, and is a perverse taste.
But he got Tang Zhao's permission, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He took the time to ask: "Old...Old sir, who did you learn this Xianzi music from? I asked all the artists in Yuxia County, and they all said no. I have heard that only some knowledgeable old artists say that you are the only one who can sing. This is not the inheritance of old books in Qumen, where did you learn it?"
The old blind man had almost forgotten this job, but now he sang it again, which brought back a lot of memories, and said: "To tell you what to do, this job is the little old man's introductory job. It is my introductory job." I learned it from my master. He lives next door to my house. He is a lonely old man with no children. He can only sing and live on the little savings he saved on the spot. Because I go to his house to play a lot, he looks at me. I still had the qualifications, so he gave me the opportunity. I happened to have a lot of children in my family, and my parents also wanted me to learn how to cook, so they asked me to be his apprentice."
Tang Zhao understood. This was almost the way he met Mr. Chen. You never know what your mysterious, lonely, frail neighbor next door might have to teach you.
Meng Huazhou continued to ask: "What is your teacher's name? Where is he now?"
The old blind man rolled his eyes and recalled, saying: "His surname is Xu... his surname is high but not good. He passed away when I was ten years old. He has no family after his death. I sent him as a gift. There is no ancestral grave. I found it." Buried in a wild field."
Meng Huazhou nodded and said: "Sure enough, my surname is Xu. Have you heard him talk about the past? Is this song passed down from his family, or did he make it up himself? What experiences did he have when he was young?"
The old blind man was very embarrassed and said: "The little old man was only ten years old when the master died. He only remembers learning skills. I really don't remember the master's life experience. We businessmen don't care about how much we got angry when we were young and how much we earned. How much does it cost? It must be desolate when you get old and have no property or children. The teacher didn’t tell me, and I didn’t ask.”
Tang Zhao interjected and asked: "Why are you asking these questions? Sure enough, your surname is Xu. What's wrong with your surname? You said...Xu Congsheng?"
He couldn't help laughing and said: "You are too imaginative, aren't you? If your surname is Xu, you are the protagonist Xu Congsheng or a descendant of Xu Congsheng, then your surname is Meng, how come you are not a descendant of the protagonist Meng Yun Woolen cloth?"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Huazhou suddenly turned to look at him.
Um……
"Isn't it?" Tang Zhao was surprised, "Is it true?"
Meng Huazhou didn't say it explicitly, but he implicitly agreed.
Tang Zhao suddenly realized, so his ancestor is really Meng Yun?
Wait, didn't Meng Yun change his name from Xu Congsheng? How can the same protagonist have two descendants with different surnames?
Could it be that although this book has the same framework, it is actually the similar experiences of two different people? They all went to Fairy City, and then recorded their stories in different carriers?
But it doesn't seem right.
Tang Zhao compared the two works again and again, and felt that they were adapted from the same work. Otherwise, the trends and rhythms would be exactly the same. The male protagonist's fighting skills and vulgar spells were almost the same, and the details were correct. How could it be such a coincidence?
Well, there is only one truth...
"Your ancestor accidentally heard this song, fell in love with it, and then adapted it and changed the protagonist to himself? And then released a book?"
Isn't this... quite shameless behavior?
If it weren't for the fact that this song, whether it's good or not, is not popular at all, let alone sells for money, and there are no such copyright laws these days, Tang Zhao would have suspected that it was malicious plagiarism for profit.
Now it seems that the ancestors of the Meng family may have become obsessed with reading the book, and they did not distinguish between fiction and reality, and substituted themselves.
However, judging from the adapted version, the ancestors of the Meng family obviously regarded this story as an illusory world and enjoyed themselves in the book. Why did his descendants go one step further and pursue reality?
Is this level of obsession even deeper?
Meng Huazhou didn't want to explain and continued to ask: "What relics does your master have? Where is he buried?"
