Chapter 42 Creating Journey to the West

Thinking of his friends in Guozixue, Fu Yuchen sighed. If it hadn't been for the prince to study with him, he wouldn't have had to exchange identities with his sister.

She was forced to stay in a boudoir in the name of Fu Xuechen recuperating from his injuries. For several days, no one came to visit him, and he did not receive any gifts from his friends. Instead, several of Fu Xuechen's handkerchief entrusters sent gifts.

Those gifts, the food was okay, but what was the point of using them? For example, rouge, embroidered handkerchiefs, ruffles...he couldn't use any of them, and he was taking advantage of his sister.

It was obviously him who was injured, but it was his sister who received the gift. I was really speechless!

Fu Xuechen saw that the other party was depressed and said, "Shall I tell you a new Liaozhai story?"

In addition to Lu Pian's story in the past few days, Fu Xuechen has told Fu Yuchen two other stories: "Laoshan Taoist" and "Forty Thousand". Due to time constraints, the two stories chosen are very short and not as classic as Lu Pian.

Fu Yuchen was inevitably not satisfied with what he heard.

Seeing that there was more time today, Fu Xuechen decided to choose something a little longer, interesting, and not so perfunctory, so that Fu Yuchen could cheer up and repay his help.

Fu Yuchen agreed and leaned back comfortably on the piled pillows and quilts behind him: "Let's talk."

"This story is called A Bao, and it is one of my favorite Liaozhai stories." Fu Xuechen smiled slightly and began to tell: "Once upon a time, there was a man in western Guangdong, his name was Sun Tzu Chu. He was born with six fingers..."

It can become one of the most eye-catching and impressive stories among the many Chinese-style stories. "Abao" has its unique perspective and charm.

There are a lot less bloody horrors than Lu Pan, and a lot more infatuation. There are strange events like someone turning into a parrot, and there are also rich girls marrying poor scholars. In the end, the scholar is successful and gets slapped in the face. Moreover, the talented and beautiful people here are the current ones.

A favorite routine among readers.

Fu Yuchen listened with great interest. After chewing for a while, he hurriedly drove Fu Xuechen away, brought paper and pen, and started his second creation.

Seeing him regaining his energy, Fu Xuechen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Fu Yuchen is just a young man of twelve or thirteen years old. He usually likes to join in the fun and make trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken his leg after climbing into a tree, turning him into a homebody, staying in the house all day long and unable to move at will.

, it was really difficult for him.

Although there is a story to tell, Fu Yuchen himself has found the joy of writing a storybook, but I am afraid that this alone cannot completely avoid the depression of being forced to stay at home and completely isolated from his acquaintances.

If in future generations, everyone has a mobile phone, everyone can stay at home for a long time, and there are still people who can be bored fishing in fish tanks at home, not to mention the current era... After a while, I have to think of other fun things, big

It would be better to greatly improve Fu Yuchen's tolerance for staying indoors, Fu Xuechen thought silently.

The next afternoon, storyteller Wu Rui appeared again in the small study room belonging to Fu Yuchen in the Hou Mansion.

"I have made an appointment with my husband a few days ago. The new storybook will be commissioned by him. I will tell the story and he will be responsible for writing it." Fu Xuechen said directly to Wu Rui: "If you are worried about omissions, there is paper and pen on the desk for you to use."

This is necessary. After all, there are only a few people who can never forget. If you want to completely record the stories told by others, you have to take notes. Wu Rui understood, apologized, and walked behind the desk to sit down.

The pens, inks, paper and inkstones were all prepared in advance. Fu An consciously took up the task of sharpening ink. As he moved, he looked curiously at his young lady. He was surprised and expected that the lady could actually tell stories.

It's hard to imagine what kind of story the young lady would tell.

Fu Xuechen sat aside, holding hot tea in his hand, took a sip, and slowly began to tell: "After Pangu opened the sky, the three emperors and the five emperors settled down, the world was divided into four major continents, one of which was named Dongsheng Shenzhou.

There is a country outside the continent,

It is called Aolai Country. There is a mountain in the sea of ​​Aolai Country, named Huaguo Mountain. There is a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain. One day, the fairy stone bursts and laid a stone egg. When it saw the wind, it turned into a stone monkey. It could crawl and walk when it was born.

The Jade Emperor in Heaven..."

That's right, what Fu Xuechen is telling is the story of Journey to the West. In this time and space, there is no Tang Dynasty, no Tang Xuanzang, no incident of Monk Tang going west to seek Buddhist scriptures, and there is no Journey to the West. She doesn't have to worry about the story crashing at all.

After all, "Journey to the West" is one of the four great classics. Not to mention various children's books, she has read all the original books, not to mention related TV series and related cartoons, especially "Havoc in Heaven"

She was familiar with every detail of the episode, and she didn't stumble when describing it.

As for the eighty-one difficulties Tang Monk encountered later after collecting the three disciples and the White Dragon Horse, and embarking on the journey to obtain scriptures, and the stories after three fights with the White Bone Demons, which one came first and which one came last, maybe she couldn’t remember clearly.

But that's not important. She can guarantee that she can remember all the experiences of Master Tang Seng and his disciples.

In other words, if you give her a period of time, she will be able to produce a relatively complete version of "Journey to the West", one of the four great masterpieces. Even if it is not exactly the same as the original work, and it is missing many poems and inscriptions in the original work,

But at the same time, it also brought forward the fine tradition of starting with the title of the Internet article without any nonsense from later generations. What's more, Wu Rui's writing style is not bad.

Unconsciously, the story starts from Sun Wukong's apprenticeship, to the riot in the Palace of Hell, to the Dragon Palace to obtain the battle armor helmet and golden cudgel, all the way to the day when the Heavenly Court sends Taibai Jinxing to recruit Sun Wukong for the first time, and is awarded the official title of Bi Ma Wen.

Fu An had already been dumbfounded, his heart was up and down, and he was so enchanted several times that he almost forgot the inkstone in his hand.

Wu Rui was also excited, his eyes were shining brightly, and he kept writing and writing. If he hadn't interrupted Fu Xuechen's story for fear of affecting her, he would have clapped his thigh and cheered several times.

Fu Xuechen looked calm. He looked at the time and drank the third cup of hot tea in his hand. He stood up and said to Wu Rui: "Okay, let's stop here today. Sir, go back and organize. When will you write this story?"

Okay, everyone can come to your door and continue to listen to me tell the story behind."

"Yes!" Wu Rui agreed obediently and began to clear up several large pages of records scattered on the table.

Before saying goodbye, Wu Rui asked solemnly: "Master Fu Xiaohou, I dare not ask you, what is the name of this story?"

Fu Xuechen also responded seriously: "The full name of this storybook is "Journey to the West", or "Journey to the West" for short. If you don't object, I hope that you can use Wu Cheng'en as the pen name of this storybook. I wonder if you are willing?"

"Wu Cheng'en?" Wu Rui silently recited the name twice and agreed happily: "Wu is fortunate enough to have the young Marquis insist on writing this story that will be handed down from generation to generation. This is a great blessing from the young Marquis! Cheng'en is his name.

, I like it very much!”

Fu Xuechen blinked her eyes. She didn't expect that Wu Chengen's pen name could be explained in this way? No matter what! In short, "Journey to the West" was written by Wu Chengen, which can be regarded as her rectification of the original author's name, even if Wu Chengen was from another time and space.
Chapter completed!
