Be a Cartoonist In the Fairy World

Now that Tang Junhao said so, Du Ziyuan just let him go. Anyway, the novel is not finished yet, and Du Ziyuan has no inspiration for drawing illustrations.

After chatting casually for a few more words, he left. Tang Junhao's time was very tight, and he didn't want to disturb him for too long.

Ten days passed in a flash, and soon, the day for the second round of submissions arrived.

Sixteen writers came to the review site, and this time the host was the Minister of Rites. In addition, the three major guests other than Guo Yong were also present.

Du Ziyuan found that Feng Muzhao's expression seemed to be a little off, as if he was very worried. Yan Wushuang, who was covered by the black robe on the other side, was also a little strange. Although he couldn't see her face, Du Ziyuan always felt that she was staring at him.

[The people of Heart Demon Sect are all weird. 】Du Ziyuan didn't think too much, and sat in his own seat.

The venue for the second round of review is an open-air theater. The semi-circular venue has a total of 25 steps, and the seats get more seats. It can accommodate about 15,000 people in total. At this time, 10,000 people have already been seated in it.

For this Qifeng Festival, Qifeng Kingdom specially recruited 80,000 people from various countries, industries, and age groups to serve as judges. In the second round, 10,000 people will be randomly selected from the 80,000 people in each group to maintain the fairness of the review.

In addition, the 3 guests each have 1 golden vote, which is equivalent to 500 ordinary votes. They sat at the front of the 10,000 spectators.

The sixteen writers sat on the left and right sides of the stage, and the two who had their turn to play had to go forward and sit on the special high chairs in the middle of the stage to wait for the result.

Du Ziyuan was the first to play, so he sat on the high chair from the very beginning, accepting the scrutiny of more than 10,000 people. To be honest, I felt quite uncomfortable.

On his left, the sycamore leaf, which is twice his size, is quite at ease, with two legs in a posture of inner eight.

[I'll go, this guy really has a girlish heart. 】Du Ziyuan complained here, while everyone in the audience turned on the Lingguang Jade and began to look at their works.

"The boss will win!" Tang Junhao whispered from behind.

Song Zi also waved to him.

Du Ziyuan turned around and smiled at the two of them, and made an OK gesture. It's a pity that the two of them don't seem to understand what this means.

In the order determined by lottery in advance, Wutongye's novels are listed first. Du Ziyuan also picked up the Lingguang Jade and looked at it.

The story he wrote is called "Laughing Allure".

Although there is a joke in the title, the story is very sad. The protagonist is a child who was sold to a brothel since she was a child. She was bullied in various ways at the beginning. Seeing that she was thin and weak, her peers always robbed her of food. The older "sister" was always afraid of being replaced by her. Beat her, scold her, make her do all kinds of heavy work, and don't allow her to learn singing, dancing, poetry, painting and piano skills. Even the tortoise is always messing with her.

Until later, she met an old and decrepit old laundry woman in the backyard, and the old woman told her: "No one will sympathize with you if you cry here. If you want to live and climb up, just laugh, and you can't laugh." To smile, to hide everything under the smile."

From then on, she began to learn to laugh at everything. Someone snatched her food, but instead of being angry, she passed the food over with a smile, and at the same time quietly added laxatives to the food. In the end, the man was beaten to death because of his inability to work.

The tortoise was being rude to her, and she laughed too, until one time, when the tortoise didn't notice at all, she pushed him down the stairs. Mr. Gui bumped into a customer and was kicked out of the brothel by breaking his legs. Before Mr. Gui froze to death, she watched him die slowly on the street corner upstairs, smiling all the time.

Only that elder sister, she has never been an opponent, no matter how she smiles, the other party will see through her at a glance, her little thoughtfulness is just child's play to them.

"Little hooves, all the things you play are leftovers from my old lady's play."

But then that elder sister took out all her savings to redeem herself for a poor scholar. Before leaving, he handed a hairpin to her.

"Why did you go with him?"

"You don't understand, when you understand one day, pass this hairpin to the next one."

The elder sister left with a smile, and she became the new oiran.

She is becoming more and more popular, and there are endless suitors, among whom there are not a few who are dignified.

Some people say that her smile is the most beautiful smile in the world, and a smile can be alluring.

But the more she laughed, the colder her heart became.

Until later, she fell in love with a man, a general who was accidentally dragged by the prince to drink flower wine. She decided that, like her sister, she would hand over the hairpin to the next person.

In the last scene of the novel, she saved enough money to redeem herself, and before leaving, she gave the hairpin to another little girl, and then she rushed to the frontier with a smile from her heart. At the same time, a fast horse passed by her, bringing the report of the martyrdom of the general whose border was broken.

At this point, the whole story is over. The first half of the novel describes in detail how a weak girl survived in a chaotic place like a brothel. Laughter is her weapon, a weapon more powerful than a sword.

In the second half, she became the oiran, but behind the smile was a bigger and bigger hole. Until the general appeared, the two had only met once, and neither had spoken a few words, but she just fell in love with him. In the back, Wu Tongye fully relied on her own writing skills to vividly express how the protagonist changed from a little miss at the beginning to a passionate love at the end.

Long and long monologues let people watch how she fell in love with him bit by bit.

"That man is really strange. He's blushing all over here, like a child."

"He didn't come today, won't he come again?"

"I saw him riding out of the city on horseback. Is he about to go out? When will he come back?"

"It's been a hundred days. I think he's been thinking about it for a hundred days. If he doesn't come back, can I go see him?"

...

After reading the whole story, Du Ziyuan felt sincerely, this Wutong Ye is obviously a man, how could he write the girl's psychological activities so delicately?

When he saw the final general died in battle, he felt a pain in his heart. The protagonist went to the border this time, and he was destined to be lost, so who would she laugh at then? Will that charming smile appear again?

He looked around and found that several people who had finished reading the novel were weeping there, and most of them were women. Among them is Duanmu Xing of Wuwang Immortal Sect.

Obviously the theme is laughter, but he can make people cry, which is really amazing.

[As expected of someone who can come to the Qifeng Festival, but since you made them cry so sadly, let's see how I can make them laugh! 】
