Blue Star has a dynasty cycle law, which states that since the Qin Dynasty, it is rare for a dynasty to last hundreds of years; the change of dynasties can be described as normal.
But in this world, perhaps because the immortals and gods are hiding behind the scenes, the Dali Dynasty has lasted for nearly ten thousand years and has not ended yet.
Fortunately, there were also conquests between different dynasties. Nan Yi found a border in the history books of Dali that military strategists would fight for in every war, which can also be used as the background of the novel.
After making the outline, he was inspired to write a 10,000-word manuscript overnight, splashing ink and using the "Buqi Yishen Powder" to help him sleep, until the sky was completely obscured by gray fog.
If the light had not been blocked, Nan Yi might even have continued writing.
But after he stopped writing, Nan Yi was stunned for a while, let out a long sigh, and laughed to himself: The soul has traveled to another world, it is true.
What he just wrote was not only writing, but also venting his emotions.
It stands to reason that when Nan Yi takes "Buqi Yishen Powder", he will actually feel sleepy and drowsy brought by the medicinal soup.
However, Nan Yi, who was suddenly transported through time and trapped in a mysterious and strange world, was confused and anxious, but refused to fall asleep following the effects of the medicine. Instead, he resisted sleep and copied novels familiar to him from his previous life.
After he finished writing the 10,000-word manuscript, Nan Yi finally calmed down and calmly accepted that he had traveled through time.
There is no going back to the past life.
Now, just look at the present.
Nan Yi sighed, finally gave up resisting sleepiness, lay down with his clothes on, and fell into a deep sleep.
But the next morning, Nan Yi, who only slept for the rest of the night, still woke up early.
Maybe it’s because of the body’s biological clock, but it’s mainly due to hunger.
Nan Yi lowered his head and covered his belly with his left hand. He felt that his belly was empty and he was so hungry that he felt panicked.
Eating only two meals a day was already hard to fill him up, not to mention that he stayed up late last night writing a manuscript, which consumed him even more.
People in this world, whether rich or poor, are accustomed to eating only two main meals, one at eight or nine in the morning and one at around five or six in the afternoon.
But the rich only have two main meals because they eat snacks and drink tea at noon.
As for the poor, like Nan Yi, they could only barely eat two square meals because of their best efforts.
Nan Yi really wants to resume the habit of eating three meals a day.
But I have no money in my pocket, so even thinking about it is a luxury.
Nan Yi didn't know whether a penny could defeat a heroic man.
But he knew that he was going crazy because of the lack of money.
Nan Yi looked at the results of last night's victory.
He wanted to get the exchange fee for submitting the article immediately.
But after a good sleep, Nan Yi's mind became clear and he realized that he was a little distracted yesterday and thought about the problem a little too simply.
After all, it is adapted from Lan Xing Tian Xia's martial arts novels. Compared with the popular legends of monsters or palace affairs, it seems to belong to the non-mainstream.
Nan Yi is not completely sure whether this manuscript can pass the review and approval process, and whether it can adapt to the conditions of this world.
Even if the manuscript passes review, you may not be able to get the manuscript fee immediately.
If you want to be stable, you must do your best, use all the methods that are expected to improve the success rate of drafting, and win by surprise.
Thinking of this, Nan Yi resisted hunger, took out a few pieces of white paper, and began to draw and illustrate the manuscript.
In Blue Star, although Mr. Jin’s martial arts works are popular in the entire Tianxia cultural circle, they are not just novels.
The fact that it has become a household name is largely due to the adaptation of TV series.
It can be said that it was Mr. Jin who teamed up with many TV drama screenwriters to continuously improve and polish it over decades, and iterated and completed it many times before it finally became known as a martial arts masterpiece.
Although it is impossible for Nan Yi to create a TV series here.
But having watched TV dramas, he was able to vividly add illustrations to the manuscript, which effectively enhanced the story of the manuscript and gave it a head start.
It just so happens that the pen used by the scholar in this life is not a writing brush, but an ink pen, which is quite similar to the pencil of Nan Yi in his previous life. As long as he gets used to the feel of his hand, he can sketch with ink pen and illustrate the manuscript well.
After he finished drawing several illustrations, Nan Yi picked up the manuscript paper and went straight out of Nanshan Academy.
He first found a breakfast stall and bought two steamed buns for four cents, and a bowl of thick rice porridge for four cents.
Eight coins in total, gone again.
This is still the lower limit of food Nan Yi can accept.
According to this way of eating, at a base of sixteen fen a day, he would have enough to last until the end of the year with more than 300 fen, but he would not have the money to go home.
If the manuscript doesn't get signed, Nan Yi feels that he may really have to seriously consider whether he should go to the casino to cheat and make money without conscience.
"well."
After handing the breakfast money to the stall aunt, Nan Yi sighed, got up and rushed to Yesterday's Bookstore.
The bookstore is called Beiheju.
In Dali Chu County, where the word "nan" is popular, such a signature name seems a bit eye-catching.
"Seller, I have brought the manuscript. Please take a look."
The bookstore owner is opening the door. When he saw it was Nan Yi again, he couldn't help but said with a bit of laughter and laughter: "Xiao Langjun, how come you either stepped on the point where I closed the door, or stepped on the point where I opened the door?"
After taking off the door lock and putting it into the store, the boss took Nan Yi's manuscript, glanced at Nan Yi's face, and murmured: "Xiao Langjun, did you write the manuscript overnight?"
Nan Yi smiled and said nothing.
The boss didn't care. He motioned to Nan Yi to take the chair and sit down and wait, then returned to the counter to read the manuscript.
At first, the boss seemed a little careless.
But after turning two pages and seeing the sketches and pictures drawn by Nan Yi, he was suddenly startled.
He glanced at Nan Yi in surprise, then became serious and read carefully.
After about tea time, the bookstore owner, who had read the manuscript, even pondered for a while before speaking:
"I don't know what to call Mr. Lang?"
"My surname is Nan." Concerned about the discipline of his own "Dongzhen" talent, Nan Yi only mentioned his surname but not his given name.
The boss changed his mind and said: "Frankly speaking, Nanlang's work is better because of its smooth writing, concise vocabulary, and delicate narrative. However, the background is adapted from the ancient history of Yan County. As far as Chu County is concerned, it loses the sense of reality. Generally speaking, it is just It can be considered quite satisfactory.”
Nan Yi nodded without objection.
After all, he is writing based on memory, not directly copying Mr. Jin's original text, as long as he does not hold back in terms of writing style.
However, I am in Chu County at the southern end of Dali, but I am writing about Yan County in the north more than a thousand years ago. It is normal for me to lack a sense of empathy.
But if he wants to advance, he must restrain himself first. He waits for his boss to praise him.
Sure enough, the bookstore owner immediately sighed: "I didn't expect that Nanlang's painting skills are so good. With just a few strokes, the story is told. It jumps out on the page and makes people feel like they are there."
"Using text to draw pictures, using pictures to accompany text, the pictures and texts are both beautiful and shining." The bookstore owner's eyes were very bright. "Nan Lang not only has a unique painting style, but also a unique concept of painting. I almost underestimated Nan Lang."
Nan Yi didn't want to be too high-profile, and said shyly: "The store was so complimentary, but the young man was just worried that he wouldn't be able to submit the article, so he decided to draw illustrations as a gimmick."
The sketching method itself is not out of the ordinary, but whether in ancient Tianxia or in this world, the emphasis was on verve and less on realism, so that the realistic sketching style seemed a bit strange at first glance.
What really impresses the boss is the form.
Printing technology has not been widely popularized in this world, and the form of publishing pictures and texts like comic strips has not yet developed. Nan Yi's illustrations and text are directly like a comic book, which is naturally eye-catching.
"My surname is Xie, and my first name is Beihe. Nanlang, just call me Uncle Xie." The bookstore owner introduced himself, expressed his intimacy, and then walked out of the counter.
"In Xie's humble opinion, Nanlang's illustrations and text are actually a bit too strong. But, the force is good, the force is wonderful." Xie Beihe took out the door lock and prepared to close the door and take Nan Yi to the book store.
The bookstore owner is also a businessman. As a businessman, the most important thing is topicality.
The stronger Nan Yi's gimmick was and the more eye-catching it was, the more excited Xie Beihe became.
"Xie guarantees that Nanlang's work will be published in the near future. At that time, Xie will do his best to manage it and recommend it widely, which will definitely make Nanlang young man famous."
Xie Beihe's calculation was very clear.
Based solely on the manuscript, it is difficult to say whether Nan Yi's work will be a big hit or not.
But with the gimmick of illustrations and text, it looks like writing as well as painting, so it is sure to get a head start in the early stages.
As long as the first chapter is sold, subsequent sales will depend on the intensity of publicity and the quality of the story.
In Xie Beihe's view, although the story written by Nan Yi is somewhat out of mainstream in terms of subject matter.
But the quality of the manuscript is actually not bad.
