Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    (There will be another update in the evening) That day, that day, happened to be the day when Shen Yue's The Legend of White Snake was released.

    However, Shen Yue, Xu Manhua and even Xie Sihui all put the matter behind them.

    In the morning, the Legend of White Snake was placed in a prominent position in the Sanwei Bookstore in the city.  The author's name is Shenhai Jushi, which is the pen name Shen Yue gave himself. Although this pen name seems a bit strange, it finally followed Shen Yue's wishes.

    "You Chinese people write very good novels. I remember one of them described the myth of a monkey. It was really good. The monkey later had several friends. Together with a priest, they went to the Holy Mountain to obtain scriptures"

    On Earth, Shen Yue once had such a conversation with a foreigner, only to find out in the end that the person was talking about the translated version of Journey to the West.  At that time, Shen Yue did not complain about the foreigner's cultural level. On the contrary, he admired the book Journey to the West.

    Ancient texts are translated into English, and then they can still make foreigners feel wonderful. This shows one thing, real art will be appreciated by people there.

    And what about the treatment in The Legend of White Snake?

    ??A myth that has been passed down for thousands of years, a story that has been remade many times, a legend that all children know, and a love between a human and a demon that spreads in this world for the first time.

    Although martial arts is emphasized over literature, it does not mean that people in this world do not read books.  Many people, after wandering for a lifetime, often write some travel notes, recording the scenery and people from all over the world.

    There are many books like this, and the sales volume is also good. After all, it is refreshing to read and gain more knowledge, which may be useful one day.

    Some martial artists, before retiring, will write a book about their martial arts experience and publish it, hoping that future generations will remember them.

    Of course, there are also some books, like novels written by Shen Yue.  Everyone dreams that they will become a martial arts hero, the leader of a sect, dominate the world, and be omnipotent.

    "It's a pity that most of these books are only moderately accessible, and there are not many excellent ones.  It¡¯s no wonder that if you look at the novels from the Tang, Yuan and Qing dynasties and compare them with today¡¯s novels, you can see the gap.

    People were coming and going in the bookstore, and the afternoon quickly passed.

    Two pretty and lovely women walked into the bookstore. The girl in the front was about 16 or 78 years old, and the girl in the back was in her twenties, both of whom love to dream.  The two people must be regular visitors to the bookstore. They came to the boss's counter and knocked on the table.

    "Boss Li, is the Legend of White Snake still available?"

    "No, this book sold very quickly today. I bought ten copies, but they were all sold out in one day."

    "ah!"

    The woman made a disappointed sound, then turned to her friend behind her and said, "Look, it's not that I won't help you, it's that there's no more goods."

    "No, Sister Lian, can you give me your copy? After reading it, I will return it to you."

    "No, I haven't finished reading it today. I'll wait until I finish reading it."

    "No, I don't know your temper yet. If you see a book you like, you will keep it and never lend it to outsiders. If someone else really likes it, you would rather buy him a copy than lend it to others."

    Faced with what the young girl said, the older woman just smiled. Suddenly, her eyes stopped on the boss's hand, where there was a closed copy of The Legend of White Snake.

    "Boss Li."

    Her voice was not high-pitched, but the meaning behind it made Boss Li understand.

    "Miss Xiulin, I am reading this book myself, but I haven't finished it yet. I'm really sorry."

    "Boss Li, give the books to my sister. At worst, how about you buy another batch later?"

    "Yes, Boss Li, how about I pay double the price?"

    Shaking his head, Boss Li did not agree or get angry because of the little girl¡¯s words.

    "It really doesn't work. It's not about money. Miss Lian, you are a regular customer here. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Originally, if this book sold so well, it would be published again soon.  But the problem is, this version may be out of print.¡±

    "Huh?"

    Even the girl felt strange.  People who like to read books have their own standards. Some books will make you feel happy when you read them, some books will make you nod your head when you think about them, and some books will make you extremely moved or even crazy.  You will read it over and over again and think about it again and again, just like your first love. You will never forget the feeling of reading it for the first time, and this feeling will even accompany you for a lifetime.

    When I came to buy books this morning, Boss Li strongly recommended the book "The Legend of White Snake" and said that after buying the book last night, he read it all night long.  Looking at Boss Li's red rabbit-like eyes, the girl bought it without hesitation.??This book.  I originally planned to read it carefully after I got home, but after flipping through a few pages on the way, I unknowingly became addicted to the Broken Bridge by the Misty Lake.  The story of man and monster, and Bai Suzhen¡¯s life-long love.

    When I got home, I read it carefully. Then my neighbor¡¯s daughter came over, noticed the book in her hand, and asked what she was doing.  As a result, her answer aroused her interest, and she couldn't borrow the book, so she took her to the bookstore to buy another one.

    She didn¡¯t refuse and planned to go to the bookstore to buy the rest. Firstly, if she liked it, she could give it to others, and secondly, she would use it to support the author.

    Those who write books are poor people, and it takes a lot of energy from conception to completion.  And if a person with this ability to write good works practiced martial arts or devoted himself to other industries, he might have succeeded long ago.

    After hearing Boss Li¡¯s words that there would be no follow-up to this book, Miss Lian was stunned for a moment.

    "The author is dead?"

    "It's almost like death. The author of this book, Shen Yue, is still a celebrity in Haizhou City. I only found out this morning that he is in big trouble."

    Rumors always spread very fast. When Shen Yue slapped Xiaohuan in the yard, the rumors about him and Xu Manhua had already spread to the ears of ordinary people in Haizhou City.

    "That's what I heard. It's a pity that this person is so talented that he did something like that."

    The rumors Boss Li heard were undoubtedly the obscene version of Shen Yue.  In the story, a certain scholar was appreciated by a widowed beauty because of his talent, and was able to publish a book.  This was originally a good thing, but the scholar wanted to go further. The temptation failed and he committed suicide. As a result, the two fell into the clear water pool together while fighting.

    Now the woman has been rescued back to Biyuxuan, while the man is waiting for the Xie family's revenge.

    "The one who printed this book was the Xie family's bookshop. If this kind of book happened, the Xie family would of course not publish it again, and even canceled the order. It is said that the remaining books are going to be burned. Alas, how?  What will happen?"

    Boss Li sighed, worried about Shen Yue's fate.

    And even the girl was stunned there, her chest rising and falling.

    "Boss Li, how true is this rumor and how false is it?"

    Boss Li thought for a moment, then shook his head, "It's probably 100% fake. I've met Shen Yue. He's a nice young man. He opened a pastry shop in the city. Unfortunately, he made trouble and lost business.  Made.

    He is very disciplined in doing business and pays the exact price.  What was especially rare was that he would take out the cakes that were not sold out in the evening and give them away, saying that they contained fruits or other items and were no longer fresh, so he sold them at a low price and waited until it was getting dark.  When the time comes, give it away for free.

    My son once ate pastries he gave for free, and there was no difference in taste.  If someone can do business with such a conscience, he won't be too bad in reality.  There are still some rumors about him in the city. If Miss Lian is interested, you can inquire about them.  "

    Regarding the cowpox incident, the Kong family issued a hush-hush order. Not many people in Haizhou City knew about it, and neither did Boss Li.  However, the common people still know a little bit about Shen Yue's beating and other news.

    "Old Li, do you still have the Legend of White Snake here? Give me a few copies."

    A middle-aged man walked in outside the door, came directly to Lao Li, and said, "How about three times the price?"

    "What, Boss Zhang, you got the news, aren't the Xie family planning to reprint this book? Have they sent someone to arrest Shen Yue?"

    Boss Li touched the first edition of White Snake in front of him and said with some regret.  The printing of the first edition is very exquisite.  Although Xie Sihui's rigidity was good, Shen Yue was not satisfied. He was shameless and asked Xie Sihui to help modify some things. This time, Shen Yue added the beautification experience of some later books in the White Snake.  Whether it is the title page, illustrations, margins, or humanized reading, it far exceeds all existing books, and Xu Manhua is also willing to use materials.  The best paper, the best ink, everything comes together, and when you hold it in your hands, this book is like a work of art.

    "Well, I heard that Shen Yue was taken into Biyuxuan, and when he resisted, he even hurt someone. Kong Xianglan from Dragon Girl Hall was there, saw this, and was so angry that he turned around and left. Alas, it seems  This book is now out of print."

    Boss Zhang was also sighing, talking about distorted second-hand news he got from who knows where.  Everyone is in the book business. Whether a book is good or bad can be determined by holding it in your hand.  Shen Yue's "White Snake" could have become a huge hit, but now it has encountered such misfortune.

    " Once the affair between a wealthy lady and an ordinary person is discovered, it is often the poor boy who is finished, and then gets splashed with dirty water.

    "I have sold out the Legend of White Snake here, and I plan to keep the remaining one for myself. Even the girlhey, where is the person?"

    Li ?The boss turned around, and the girl was gone. He only saw the little girl standing there angrily, as if she was complaining about an irresponsible woman who threw her here.
