Chapter 415: So mentoring

Xue Mu's acceptance of disciples was actually a major event.
Ever since "Journey to the West" hit the world, and there was a top-level Taoism like Wujiao Temple to help him promote it for his own purposes, Xue Mu had been regarded by many people as the first generation of Wenzong. From the perspective of "establishing the Tao", not to mention the literary Tao, at least it is the originator of the novelist's Tao, which has supported many people. To this day, there are countless literati who rely on storytelling and serialization in daily newspapers, who regard Xue Mu as a pioneering master.
Although the Tao of the novel is just a tiny trail that does not enter the mainstream, no one can deny that it is indeed a Tao, and it has become more and more popular.
What Xue Mu lacks is mainly that he has no systematic argumentation as a basis, and he has not formally accepted disciples for preaching, so it is impossible to say that he has established a school. But now the step of accepting disciples is finally taken, which is the official starting point for the opening of the school. From then on, the way of the novel can be regarded as an orthodox source that can be recognized. Even if he doesn't make an argument, the disciple can sort out his words and deeds. The "Tao" was passed down to later generations.
This is a very important node for both the historical significance of the entire world and Xue Mu himself.
It's a pity that Xue Mu himself didn't have such a lofty consciousness at all. All he was thinking about was that it was more fun to molest the female apprentice...
"Well, Qing Wu..." Xue Mu kindly helped her up, explored in the ring for a long time, and smiled and found out a bead chain: "I didn't bring any suitable gifts for the teacher, this ordinary ornament Be a souvenir."
This is a strange bead chain, much longer than ordinary necklaces, but without pendants. The large and plump beads are strung together, the pearl is soft and seductive, and I don't know where it should be worn.
Xiao Qingwu didn't know what this was, and he secretly said that he didn't have much research on accessories. The ones that could come from the master of Xingyue Sect must be the relatively high-end accessories used by the witches? She was a little embarrassed to refuse: "It's Qing Wu who wants to give the teacher a gift. How can I let the master spend money?"
"The ceremony is mutual, please keep it." Xue Mu put the bead chain in her hand without any explanation, and said: "If you apprentice the ceremony... I don't like ordinary things, as long as it represents the apprentice. Something sincere."
Xiao Qingwu thought for a while, then said: "Qingwu has refined a piece of Jade Spirit..."
Ye Guying was stunned, and almost told me if it was okay... But she heard Xue Mu sternly said: "What's the use of that foreign object? I just have to be sincere."
Xiao Qingwu asked carefully: "How to express Qingwu's sincerity?"
"Of course it's a caring thing... you know that I don't pursue high..."
Xiao Qingwu finally understood the meaning of this ghost, and blushed and said, "That..."
Xue Mu sighed: "Sure enough..."
"No, no!" Xiao Qingwu bit her lower lip and looked at a screen in the room. She hid in small steps, followed by a rustling sound. After a while, Xiao Qingwu took it. I came over with a small pink bellyband, and offered it with both hands, and my head almost fell to the ground: "Master..."
Xue Mu smiled and took the female apprentice's little bellyband with her body temperature, and her body scent came faintly, like a light plum.
Xiao Qingwu blushed like blood, Ye Guying cried bitterly. A glimpse of the chalcedony spirit, a that can help others to make holes, is effective even for those with holes, and it has the effect of consolidating and stabilizing the realm. It is hard to find in the world! You, you, you, you actually changed a bellyband! I will give you 10,000 pieces. Will you give me chalcedony?
Ye Guying also remembered now. It seems that he has seen that kind of bead chain. It is a waist chain. Of course, it can't be said that it is an obscene thing, but ordinary women don't use it. The pretty waist, set off with a bead chain, will make it even more enchanting. Ye Guying tried to think about Xiao Qingwu’s shy and introverted look, but her slender waist was lightly exposed, and her waist chain exuded a coquettish light. The contrasting visual impact is really so...this Xue Mu really understands. Appreciation of beauty...
But you give this kind of meeting ceremony to female apprentices, and receive that kind of teacher-apprenticeship...
If such a ceremony of accepting disciples spreads to the outside world, the way of any novel has collapsed. This is the way of Hehuan, OK!
"Qing Wu, now you are my big disciple."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Qingwu reluctantly calmed down, and asked respectfully: "Is there any rules in this school? Master, please show me."
"If the door rules don't have it, just be obedient." Xue Mu smiled and put his apron into the ring, 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 a fangzhongshu, not a way of writing..."
I have a good impression of you and I am willing to be molested by you. It doesn’t matter what you give you a bellyband, but don’t use me as a fool, I really want to learn...
"Ahem..." Xue Mu coughed dryly and said with a serious face: "Didn't you ask what is a persona before? The person who created the person, the character setting of the story is also. For example, if you write a chivalrous woman, she should be daily What appearance? Write about a demon girl, what should she look like? In addition to the normal appearance, what kind of appearance will be willing to make you between the demon girl and the demon girl, each is different. This is the part of character setting."
Obviously knowing that it was forcibly attached to it, but Xiao Qingwu still eliminated the perversion and listened to the valuable things, and said seriously: "It turns out that before writing a story, you must set the character image and personality. In the story In writing, the performance of the characters must conform to the character in the setting..."
Xue Mu was stunned. This apprentice is very savvy. No wonder he learned medicine very well at a young age...
He also put away his thoughts of molesting the shy girl, and answered seriously: "Yes. In the character setting, it can be a fixed personality model, or it can be growth, and changes with experience. If you are a beginner, you should focus on short stories. Reinforce the fixed personality of one or two characters, don't take it too far."
This kind of thing, modern people find it unsurprising to come casually. But even in ancient China, where the style of writing was extremely prosperous, the systematic discussion of literary theories had to start with the Southern Dynasty's "Wen Xin Diao Long". How many years was it the result of development? And that is not a monograph on fiction research. Not to mention this martial arts world that has just begun to explore literature, this is indeed the only Tao in this world.
Xiao Qingwu wrote a bunch of scrapped manuscripts himself, and he was a bit vague at first. He was so enlightened by saying that, he rejoiced and saluted with respect: "Thank you, Master."
"The character is the soul of the story, and the skeleton and the flesh and blood of the story are..." Xue Mu slowly told the basic theory of the novel. Xiao Qingwu took pen and paper to record carefully, and at the same time, there was also Ye Guying who secretly recorded.
Under Wuhen Dao sect, basically no one pays no attention to storytelling. The most is the difference between strong interest and ordinary interest. Ye Guying is somewhere in between, not as interested as Yingyi, but it is also the layer that attaches great importance. That's why I personally sit at Xue Mu and wait for the manuscript. Unexpectedly, following this time, she could get a systematic discussion by accident, which was a treasure to her.
For a while, the absurdity of changing the jade spirit marrow into a bellyband was forgotten.
In the first lecture, Xue Mu didn’t say too much. He briefly talked about the three elements of storytelling, and said:
Although this is a small way, there are also considerable people. You really need to study carefully, the doorway inside is not inferior to your martial arts. Actually, I’m still exploring myself, and I couldn’t get a glimpse of it. I’ll talk about it first today, and I’ll sort out a few more in the future and teach you slowly.

"Yes."
Two "yes" came at the same time, and Xiao Qingwu, who was saluting, looked at the shadow next to him in amazement, for a moment in a daze.
There are really people...
Then... Didn't you see the thing about sending your bellyband? Men and women?
Xiao Qingwu twitched his nose and choked silently.
"It's finished?" The door was pushed open, and Kui Ye ran in, standing in front of Xiao Qingwu with arms akimbo and laughing: "Hurry up, call Senior Sister! Hahaha..."
Xue Mu knocked her once: "What kind of ghost sister are you?"
"I'm Dad's daughter, shouldn't Dad's apprentice call me Senior Sister?" Kui Ye was very happy: "I have wanted a junior sister for a long time, but I haven't had a chance. I finally waited till now, hahaha..."
Xiao Qingwu blinked at her for a long time, couldn't help squeezing her small round face, and said softly: "Well, hello, little sister."
Kui Ye exploded: "I already have a senior sister, and that person is very, very bad, specifically to bully me! I want a junior sister! I also want to bully people!"
Xue Mu picked up her collar and lifted it up: "I asked you to contact someone. Why are you running back?"
Kuiye waved his hands and feet and struggled: "He's already here! Just outside..."
"Then don't hurry up and call someone in! Is being a senior sister more important than business?" Xue Mu said angrily, "It's decided, you're a junior sister!"
"Don't..." Kui Ye slumped his hands and feet and stopped moving: "Dad, I was wrong. I'll spank you, OK? I'll be a senior sister..."
