Wonderful?
What's so wonderful about it?
Li Nianfan thought he had heard it wrong.
He opened his eyes and saw that the Jade Emperor and the other three had stood up excitedly, their eyes full of longing for the future.
No way, you really think this method is fine? Are you sure?
The Jade Emperor had already analyzed it, "Just like the disappearance of the Heavenly Palace, the marks were erased by heaven and earth. If all living beings can know about the Heavenly Palace again and recognize it, they will have the merit of faith and it is very likely that they can break the seal with this merit!"
The Queen Mother also nodded continuously, and said with deep conviction: "Yes, this is definitely an excellent plan. Why didn't we think of it before?"
It's stable, this wave is stable!
They were all extremely excited. A master is a master. Some difficult problems are just a piece of cake for him. He can easily get to the point. If we were to think about it ourselves, we would never be able to think of it!
Li Nianfan couldn't help but cough a few times and said, "Everyone, I think you should calm down first."
The Jade Emperor and others were startled and quickly put away their smiles and adjusted their mentality. How could they get carried away in front of a master? No, no! He
quickly and carefully sat back down, "Sorry, I'm rude."
Seeing that they were so positive and that what they said was quite true, Li Nianfan could only swallow his words and said, "What do you think of this method?"
The Jade Emperor said in a serious tone, "A word can wake up the dreamer, and it will work!"
Li Nianfan nodded and could only say, "Then what are you going to do?"
"This..." The Jade Emperor was stunned for a moment, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face. He couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, and said after pondering, "Since we want everyone to believe in the gods, the most important thing is naturally publicity."
Soon, the four of them looked at each other, and they were all a little at a loss.
For many things, thinking and knowing are one thing, but when it comes to doing it specifically, I really don't know how to do it.
How to promote it?
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother couldn't help but start thinking and frowned. Are they asking us to hand out flyers on the street?
Zi Ye couldn't help but say, "This business... I'm more familiar with Buddhism. Why don't we go and get the scriptures?"
Cheng Yi suggested, "You can also ask the underworld for help." At
this moment, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the human race is really extremely important. After all, it is closely related to merits and virtues. The protagonist of heaven and earth is worthy of the reputation.
Li Nianfan saw their distressed look, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "If you are sure you want to do this, I think I can help."
He didn't know if this method was reliable, but since everyone was ready to do this, Li Nianfan felt that he had to help if he could. After all, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were so polite, he should also show some appreciation.
"Master Li, do you have a solution?" The Jade Emperor's face suddenly lit up, and then he quickly bowed and said, "Please teach me, Master Li."
Li Nianfan smiled, "It's not that I can teach you, but I am a mortal after all, so I understand mortals better."
Everyone nodded in unison, indicating that the boss said he was a mortal, and that he was a mortal.
Li Nianfan organized his own language and then said, "Actually... if you really want to make the Heavenly Palace widely circulated and well-known by people, the best way is to use stories as a way to let everyone pass it on by word of mouth, and it would be best if it could form a collection of folk tales."
"Collection of folk tales?"
Zi Ye's face moved slightly, and then blurted out, "Master Li means, like "Journey to the West"?"
"You can say that." Li Nianfan nodded.
Orange said in a somewhat strange way, "It's just that... "Journey to the West" is so widely circulated, why is there no sign of the Heavenly Palace recovering?"
"I think it's probably related to the roles and characters. The portrayal of the Heavenly Palace in Journey to the West is too simple, and the focus is on Sun Wukong, so it's not enough to produce much impact." Li Nianfan said it more tactfully, but in fact, although the image of the Heavenly Palace in Journey to the West is not as bad as it is on the screen, it is only slightly better, and Sun Wukong is still the highlight.
"Humph, if it weren't for the Taoist's order, why would I lower my status and cooperate with Buddhism to perform this drama?" Speaking of this, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's faces were not very good. After all, the Peach Banquet was ruined, and the Heavenly Palace lost face.
Li Nianfan's heart moved, and curiosity suddenly appeared on his face. He asked casually, "Can you tell me in detail?" "
In the past, the Taoist priest fought with Luohou and broke the spiritual veins of the West, causing the West to be poor all year round and the people to be uncivilized. Jie Yin and Zhun Di made a great wish in the West, willing to enlighten the people of the West and help the West recover its vitality. They also gained merits and became saints."
The Jade Emperor's eyes carried a trace of reminiscence, and continued, "This merit is equivalent to borrowing from heaven and earth. Therefore, the two saints in the West did everything they could to realize this great wish as soon as possible. To the extreme, the method tends to be shameless, but because the lack of the West also has a cause and effect with the Taoist ancestors, the Taoist ancestors will naturally help one or two appropriately. In fact, during the Conferred God period, our Tiangong benefited greatly, and the benefits of the Western Sect were second. During the journey to the West, the Western Sect grew rapidly! "
Li Nianfan nodded. It turns out that there is still such a relationship. He only knew the fairy tales, but he didn't know the background. He had gained knowledge.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's a pity that the Western religion was eventually destroyed by Luohou, ending this cause and effect. It started with him and ended with him. I can only say that there is a destiny between cause and effect."
"I see."
Li Nianfan nodded, paused and continued, "I think that if you want people to believe in the existence of the Heavenly Palace, the focus is not on the Heavenly Palace itself, but on the characters!"
"Characters?"
The Jade Emperor and the others looked puzzled. They felt that they could learn something all the time from the masters, so they asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "The fastest way for people to understand something is through the representative figures related to it. You can sort out the characters in the Heavenly Palace and find the representative ones, preferably those with twists and turns, and the stories that can make people cry, and then let them spread among the people. In this way, people will have a deep impression of the Heavenly Palace."
"Choose representatives from the Heavenly Palace?" The Jade Emperor's face immediately straightened, and he said, "Mr. Li, what do you think of me and the Queen Mother? We have served the Taoist Patriarch for thousands of years, and we have done a lot of things to subdue demons and monsters. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother from the Heavenly Palace have a big enough image."
"Obviously not."
Li Nianfan shook his head without hesitation, "Your image is indeed good, but that's not the point. Without a sensational background story and tear points to support you, your characters will not be rich enough and will not be impressive. You will definitely be eliminated."
The Jade Emperor and the other three were in a dilemma.
Li Nianfan decided to give them some hints and said, "Think more about the examples around you, especially those about love."
The Jade Emperor and the other four began to recall one by one. Some things were similar to the myths, and some things Li Nianfan had never heard of, but they were not a big deal. Li Nianfan also found that Zi Ye, the Seven Fairies, had not experienced the stories of Dong Yong or the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
He didn't know if it happened in time or if it was originally different from the myths, but it had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, the Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed, and she said, "Jade Emperor, do you still remember your sister, and..."
"This...really? After all, it's the family idiot." The Jade Emperor looked tangled, looked at Li Nianfan, and said, "Back then, my sister Yao Ji married a mortal and gave birth to a son and a daughter, named Yang Jian and Yang Chan. After many years, Yang Chan also married a mortal and gave birth to a son."
The Jade Emperor sighed heavily, feeling bitter!
His sister and niece actually liked mortals, and their tastes were really picky, making it hard to guard against.
"What about you? Didn't you stop it?" Li Nianfan was more concerned about this.
"Of course I stopped them, and they also made some unpleasantness. They don't understand my good intentions at all."
The Jade Emperor sighed, and then said: "I can understand that immortals want to be mortals. The Taoist ancestor personally set up the heavenly marriage and advocated the harmony of yin and yang. This is the way of heaven, but how can immortals and mortals last long? Their physical constitutions are completely different! Moreover, a mere hundred years is just a blink of an eye. You haven't enjoyed much fun yet, and you are old and useless."
Li Nianfan thought about it carefully and felt that the Jade Emperor was driving.
The key is that this perspective of thinking is really tricky and amazing.
As Li Nianfan thought, mortals and immortals are not suitable because of the inequality in lifespan, but the Jade Emperor's perspective is different. He considers that aspect of the physical constitution.
What exactly did he experience to give him such a unique brain circuit?
However, Li Nianfan was sure that there was indeed a deviation between myths and facts. Although the Jade Emperor tried to stop it, he was not as extreme as described in the myth, and there was no big twist, but it was reasonable.
The Jade Emperor was the eldest brother, and he was also the boy of the Taoist Ancestor. Although he opposed his sister falling in love with a mortal, his means could not be too violent, and no fool would dare to really take action against the Jade Emperor's sister.
"This is a very good point of entry. There are mortals in the story, so the sense of substitution is there, but it's still not good, the twists and turns are not enough."
Li Nianfan began to help them improve, "You should strongly oppose it, and send people to hunt down, and then let your sister or your niece flee to the ends of the earth, and go through many twists and turns..."
As Li Nianfan narrated, everyone's faces couldn't help but solemnize, because the characters in it are themselves, so the sense of substitution is full, which can be said to be fascinating, incisive, and amazing.
From the fairy and the mortal falling in love because of an accidental coincidence, to Chenxiang going through hardships, and finally splitting the mountain to save his mother, and being happy and happy, Li Nianfan spoke without thinking at all.
By the time the story was finished, Cheng Yi and Zi Ye had already shed two lines of tears on their faces, their shoulders were shaking slightly, and the romantic hearts of the girls were directly captured by this love story with many twists and turns.
Nan Nan and Long Er were also deeply moved, and said sympathetically: "I feel that this story is more touching than the story between Sister Yi Yi and the monk who abstained from sex."
Li Nianfan analyzed them one by one: "Because this story is divided into three stages, the happiness of falling in love, the pain of being separated, and the efforts to restore happiness, plus the mental journey during the period, it is full of blood and weakness, rich and full, and naturally can give people different feelings."
At this time, the Jade Emperor also came back to his senses from the story and fell into doubt in his life, "It turns out that I am such a beast."
Li Nianfan said a little embarrassedly: "It is appropriate to add some elements to some stories If necessary, we can change it if the Jade Emperor feels it is inappropriate. "
The Jade Emperor said, "No need, this is definitely a good story, and it was also written by Master Li with great difficulty, so it cannot be wasted."
Li Nianfan said, "In addition to these, there must be positive propaganda, such as the Jade Emperor's decree to exterminate the monster, bless the peace of one side, or monitor the four directions to make the world prosperous..."
Everyone listened carefully, with solemn expressions, but more and more in awe in their hearts, and felt that the stories told by the masters were so fascinating that they could really listen to them all the time without any impatience, and they also learned a lot imperceptibly. During
the conversation, the sky gradually darkened without knowing it.
Li Nianfan took a bite of the orange that Daji handed over, and then smiled and said, "In addition to the story, there is another most important link!"
The Jade Emperor naturally bowed and said respectfully, "Please teach me, Master Li."
This action and this sentence have been repeated for the eighth time today.
The Jade Emperor has become a repeater.
"Stories alone can only increase people's sense of existence, but they are not convincing enough. Only what you see with your own eyes is real!"
Li Nianfan dragged his chin and pondered for a moment, "This requires live performance. The script, actors and venue must be in place. Last time, Fairy Gu Xirou invited me to participate in the annual meeting of immortal cultivators. You can refer to it."
Zi Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then can our Tiangong directly use this annual meeting?"
Li Nianfan shook his head, "This is just an annual meeting of immortal cultivators. How many mortals can there be? The strength is biased after all."
"Then we can invite more mortals!" The Queen Mother suddenly interrupted with a flash of inspiration, "Change this annual meeting and hold it among mortals. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
"So... it's feasible!"
Li Nianfan nodded, and suddenly he was looking forward to this annual meeting. It would be a very lively event. He couldn't help
but suggest, "We have the audience, but how about I arrange your performance script for you?"
