Chapter 482 The Truth About Shushan and Mrs. Jin
After being hit by the "Land Thunder Sword", everyone came to a dark valley in an instant. The rocks were black, the soil was black, and the sky was also black. Looking around, it was gloomy, like a hell on earth.

There are no flowers and plants in the valley, no trees, lifeless, and no life can be seen.

"This... what is this place?" Everyone looked around.

"This is Book Mountain, everyone follow me."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaoshu walked towards the east of the valley, followed by everyone.

After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up, and a wide open space appeared, and there were pieces of snow-white crystal monuments erected on the open space, the number of which was about 5000.The crystal monument is about two meters high, crystal clear, slightly glowing with white fluorescence, in sharp contrast with the surrounding black land.

"What is the crystal tablet here? A tombstone?" Everyone stopped.

Bai Xiaoshu said: "These crystal monuments are not tombstones, but 'character outlines'."

Ye Baizi was puzzled: "What is the 'Character Outline'?"

Bai Xiaoshu reminded: "Pay attention to the words on these crystal tombstones."

After he said it, everyone discovered that there were densely packed words on the crystal tombstone. Among them, the following content appeared on the most recent crystal tablet:
【Name】: Xiao Yichen

[role]: supporting role
[Identity]: Head of the martial arts novel school

【Martial Arts】: "Bodhi Mirror Art"

[Emotion]: His wife died young, suffering from lovesickness, and stayed alone for more than 50 years.In his later years, he got acquainted with a confidante, Yuanyang Shenni.

……

Xiao Yichen's personal information was recorded in detail on this crystal tablet. Apart from his name, identity, martial arts, and emotions, there are many other unknown information.Among them, the most eye-catching piece of information is [role]. The crystal tablet shows that Xiao Yichen's [role] is a "supporting role".

"This... who wrote this information?" Seeing this, Xiao Yichen showed doubts on his face, his personal information was actually completely recorded on this crystal tablet.

What makes Xiao Yichen even more puzzled is, what does the "supporting role" displayed on the crystal tablet mean?Why is he a supporting role?

"This crystal tablet is a 'Character Outline'." Bai Xiaoshu introduced, "All of you here are scholars and have written novels. I believe you are familiar with the 'Character Outline'. Before writing a novel , the author will first write an outline, the most important of which is the character outline. The crystal tablets you see now are individual 'character outlines'. Each crystal tablet records a novel Character information. Some crystal monuments record information about supporting characters, some crystal monuments record information about villains, and some crystal monuments record information about heroines."

Pointing to several crystal tablets in front of him, Bai Xiaoshu continued, "The first crystal tablet records the personal information of Xiao Yichen's head. It is Xiao Yichen's 'Character Outline'. The second crystal tablet is The 'Character Outline' of the Ancient Gray Sect. The third crystal tablet is the 'Character Outline' of the Divine Monk Tianji."

Hearing this, Gu Hui and others stepped forward one after another and carefully looked at the words on the crystal tablets:

【Name】Ancient Gray

【Role】Supporting role

[Identity] Head of the Historical Fiction School
【Emotion】There is an old friend-You Tianji God Monk

……

【Name】Ke Hangtian
[role] villain

[Identity] Head of Science Fiction School
【Martial arts】quantum body
……

Each crystal tablet has a detailed "character outline", which records the personal information of Gu Hui, Tianji Shenseng, Yuanyang Shenni, Ke Hangtian, Ke Nengli, Gou Bagua, Cai Jiuzhen and others.Some of these people are supporting roles, some are villains, and some are extras.

Bai Xiaoshu said: "You must be wondering why there are so many 'character outlines' here, and why your personal information is written in the format of 'character outlines'."

Ye Baizi said: "Yeah, what's going on? Who wrote these 'character outlines' in Shushan?"

Bai Xiaoshu sank, and said slowly: "The ancients said that a book is a world. Every novel we usually read corresponds to a real world. Have you ever thought that the world we live in is Also a novel?"

"The real world is a novel?" Everyone was taken aback.

Gu Hui said: "Some people have long doubted the conjecture that the real world is a novel. It's just that there is no conclusive evidence for this conjecture, and there has never been a conclusion..." At this point, Gu Hui frowned, "Bai Xiaoshu, Could it be that these crystal monuments are the 'character outlines' of the real world?"

Bai Xiaoshu nodded: "That's right! The world we live in is a novel. The name of the novel is "Hell Story City", and all the crystal monuments here are the "Character Outline" of "Hell Story City". A person is a character in the novel "Hell Story City". Some are the protagonist, some are supporting roles, and some are villains. You are all designed by the author of the novel, and everyone's information has long been recorded on these crystal tablets. "

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. This statement sounds a bit weird.

In order to find out, everyone went to the crystal monument one after another, looking for their own "character outline".

"There really is my 'Character Outline' here!" Not long after, Eunuch Zhao exclaimed, and saw the following words written on a crystal tablet:
【Name】Eunuch Zhao
【Role】Supporting role

[Identity] Dongchang Jinshuwei consular eunuch
[Emotion] Secretly in love with Concubine Luji Shu

……

"I have also found my 'Character Outline'!" At this time, Ye Baizi also exclaimed happily.

【Name】Ye Baizi
[role] supporting actress
[Identity] Chunxian Pavilion famous prostitute
[Hobby] Studying the art of Huangwen and the posture of Huangwen
……

Soon, many people found their "character outline" on the crystal tablet, including masters of martial arts novels, romance novels, mystery novels, historical novels and other schools.

"Strange, why can't I find the 'Character Outline'?" Diaosi said strangely. .

"Master Hangsi, your 'Character Outline' is at the farthest corner in the east." Bai Xiaoshu reminded, "You are a secondary supporting role in "Hell Story City", so your 'Character Outline' is not very conspicuous. "

Hearing this, Diaosi hurried to the east corner, and found his "Character Outline" in a very inconspicuous place, and in the column of "Role", the words "Supporting Role" were indeed written.

"The supporting role is not bad, at least it's not a villain." Diaosi said happily.

After reading the information on the crystal tablet, many people believe that this world is a novel called "Story City from Hell", and each of them is just a character in the novel.

"If our world is really the novel "Hell Story City", then who are the hero and heroine?" Ye Baizi was full of curiosity.

"Story from Hell's heroine is 'Mrs. Kim', and her 'character outline' is here."

After finishing speaking, Bai Xiaoshu pointed to a crystal tablet not far away, and saw the following words floating on it:
[Name] Mrs. Jin
【Role】Heroine
[identity] undecided

[Character] gentle, infatuated

[Emotion] Deeply in love with the hero, I will not marry anyone who is not the hero in this life

【Wish】Become the hero's wife

……

"So 'Lady Jin' is the heroine!" Ye Baizi said, "From the 'Character Outline', it seems that Mrs. Jin loves the hero very much, and her lifelong wish is to be the wife of the hero. So, who is the hero? ?”

Everyone is curious about this question.

""Story from Hell" doesn't have a male protagonist at all." Bai Xiaoshu said, "Because the novel "Story from Hell" is a waste draft, only half conceived."

"Waste manuscript?" Everyone was puzzled, "What is a waste manuscript?"

"Waste manuscripts are naturally discarded novel drafts." Bai Xiaoshu said, "When the author conceived "Hell Story City", he first designed the 'character outline' and conceived many characters. However, when the conception was halfway through , the author was dissatisfied with the idea of ​​"Story from Hell" and decided to stop conceiving. As a result, "Story from Hell" became a scrap novel. Since "Story from Hell" was only half conceived, the protagonist of this novel is still It was not conceived well, so "Hell Story City" has no protagonist."

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoshu went to a crystal tablet in the corner and introduced: "Look, everyone, this crystal tablet is the "Character Outline" of the protagonist of "Hell Story City". Unfortunately, this "Character Outline" is blank. , the protagonist’s information has not been designed yet.”

Everyone turned their heads and saw the following words floating on the crystal tablet:
【Name】Undecided

【Role】Actor
【Age】Undecided

[identity] undecided

【Martial Arts】Undecided

【Ideal】Undecided

……

Except for [Character] which is displayed as "Actor", all other character settings are in the state of "undecided".

"Because the author didn't conceive the protagonist of "Story from Hell", so this novel has no male protagonist at all." Bai Xiaoshu said, "Although "Story from Hell" has no male protagonist, there is a female protagonist. Mrs. Jin is a female protagonist. The protagonist, she loves the male protagonist deeply. Since the male protagonist does not exist, Mrs. Jin fell in love with a male protagonist who does not exist at all."

Hearing this, many people were stunned, and after careful consideration, they finally understood.

It is shown in Mrs. Jin's "Character Outline" that Mrs. Jin's favorite man is the male protagonist, and her greatest wish is to become the male protagonist's wife.However, since the male protagonist does not exist, Mrs. Jin is tantamount to loving someone who does not exist. The situation is obviously a bit weird.

Ye Baizi asked strangely: "Since there is no leading actor at all, why does Mrs. Jin love the leading actor?"

Bai Xiaoshu said: "Good question. Mrs. Jin has never met the male protagonist, but because the author has set that Mrs. Jin loves the male protagonist deeply, Madam Jin fell in love with the male protagonist inexplicably. Although the male protagonist does not exist, Mrs. Kim's love for the male protagonist is real, because it was designed by the author in advance. Mrs. Jin has been looking for her favorite "male protagonist" all her life, and she has traveled to every corner of "Hell Story City" , traveled thousands of miles, but unfortunately, she still couldn't find her favorite male protagonist. In fact, she didn't even know who the 'male protagonist' was, but she only knew that she loved him deeply."

"Amitabha, good, good." Tianji said, "This Mrs. Jin is really a miserable woman. She loves an illusory 'male protagonist'. There is love in her heart, but she has no chance to meet her. The most painful thing in the world is nothing. Too much."

"Master is right!" Ye Baizi agreed, "It's all because the author of "Hell Story City" is too shameful, he didn't design a male protagonist, he gave up halfway, and made Mrs. Jin miserable. By the way, what about Mrs. Jin? How is it?"

Bai Xiaoshu continued to recall: "After reading Shushan's 'Character Outline', Mrs. Jin knew that the 'male protagonist' did not exist at all. However, she decided to find the 'male protagonist' at all costs. If she wanted to find' The most direct way is of course to find the author of "Story from Hell" and let the author design the hero. But Mrs. Jin doesn't know who the author of "Story from Hell" is, let alone how to find the author. The only clues are these "character outlines" in the book mountain.

Therefore, Mrs. Jin devoted herself to studying these 'outlines of characters'.The outline of a novel reflects the author's thoughts to a certain extent.As long as the outline of the characters in the novel is studied thoroughly, it is possible to guess some of the author's thoughts, and thus infer the information about the male protagonist that the author is planning to conceive.Of course, this requires very good logical analysis ability and imagination.As it happens, Mrs. Jin is fully qualified.

Mrs. Jin spent three full years studying these character outlines, pondering over the author's creative intentions, and guessing the protagonist setting of "Hell Story City".Thinking every day, dreaming at night.After thinking hard for more than 1000 days, one night, Mrs. Jin had a dream.

She dreamed of a mysterious man named 'Shadow Man'. In the dream, the Shadow Man had an indissoluble bond with a woman named Jin Yuxin.Mrs. Jin had many dreams about the shadow man.

After the dream, Mrs. Jin recorded the content of the dream and wrote a novel called "Golden Jade Love".After Madam Jin carefully analyzed the content in "Golden Marriage", she thought that the "shadow man" in her dream might be the protagonist of "Hell Story City".Therefore, she wants to find the shadow man. "

Ye Baizi was puzzled: "Isn't "Hell Story City" without a protagonist? Why does Mrs. Jin think that the shadow man is the protagonist?"

Bai Xiaoshu explained: "Mrs. Jin speculates that after the author stopped thinking about "Story from Hell", he conceived a new novel. And this new novel is adapted from "Story from Hell". Many characters in the novel are similar. For example, the heroine Jin Yuxin in the new novel is based on Mrs. Jin from "Story City from Hell". Therefore, the protagonist of the new novel and the protagonist of "Story City from Hell" are also related Contact, even the same person."

Ye Baizi understood.

Xiao Yichen said: "Is this new novel created by the author "Book King"?"

Bai Xiaoshu nodded and said: "That's right! If you can enter the world of "The King of Books", Mrs. Jin will be able to meet the shadow man. Unfortunately, Mrs. Jin doesn't know what the novel "The King of Books" is about. I just kept dreaming about people in shadows, and wrote the fragments of the dream as "Golden Jade". From the beginning to the end, Mrs. Jin never saw her beloved "male protagonist". Until later, Mrs. Jin disappeared suddenly, and no one knew about her Where did you go? Fortunately, before Mrs. Jin disappeared, I had the honor to meet her once, she told me the secret of Shushan, and gave me the novel "Golden Jade Lovely Marriage"."

After a pause, Bai Xiaoshu continued, "After Mrs. Jin disappeared, I also entered Shushan, and while studying these 'character outlines', I also studied "Golden Jade". After five years of research in Shushan, I finally discovered A big secret..."
