As the saying goes, if there is no argument, there will be no fire.
The same is true of "The Legend of Shushan".
Some people applauded the book loudly, praised it vigorously, and publicized it everywhere regardless of time and place. Some people scoff at this book, thinking that this is a deviant book, and the history books of the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty have recorded it, where did the kind of immortal cultivators come from?
The two sides argued over this and criticized each other.
Even those who like this book have different opinions about this book. Anyone who reads this book unconsciously substitutes himself for a character in the book. Once he is substituted, he naturally likes that role, and he can't tolerate others saying that it is not good, if anyone says that the character is not good, it is like talking about him, and he will fight with others when he is red-faced.
Later, they all developed to be dissatisfied with Luo Xin, the author, and when they saw that the character in the book had an unfair encounter with the character they substituted, they felt that they had encountered injustice, and when they saw that other characters in the book had adventures, they were envious and jealous, so even among those who liked this book, they were arguing.
But as soon as the critics of the book object, those who liked it immediately rallied and debated with each other.
In restaurants, brothels, rooms where several people gather, even during the lunch break in the school, and even on the street, there are controversies about "The Legend of Shushan" everywhere.
There was a lot of praise and a lot of criticism.
Moreover, these scholars are all learned people, whether they are appreciative or criticized, they all quote scriptures and classics, they are reasonable, they are long-winded, and their saliva is flying......
And the scholars who come to the Zhuangyuan Bookstore every day are also endless, and the first words of these scholars when they enter the door are:
"Is the second book coming?"
Then a look of disappointment appeared on his face. But he didn't leave, but he was talking about it in the bookstore.
"Hey, what do you think will happen next?"
"yes, how would that Huang Shi Weng write?"
"I think those strange things behind Emei Mountain will definitely be discovered."
“…………”
Later, because of the different opinions on the follow-up development, they argued, and the argument was not a group, they were divided into several groups in the Zhuangyuan Bookstore to argue, like five thousand ducks barking, so that the Song shopkeeper couldn't bear it, and they all had the idea of driving them out.
However, these scholars are also interesting. When I leave, I will buy one or two of the four books and five classics annotations I need, or a collection of poems, which has increased the turnover of Zhuangyuan Bookstore a lot. Looking at this turnover, Shopkeeper Song had no choice but to endure it.
But seeing this hot situation, Shopkeeper Song's heart really moved. In his heart, he had decided to have a good talk with Luo Xin, and after making a decision, he was not in a hurry, but sat there and recalled the content of the book carefully.
Running a bookstore is not without risk, once some rebellious books flow out of their bookstore. There is also the danger of robbing the house and killing the head. At this time, he carefully recalled the contents of the book, just to find out if there were any such remarks in the book.
He carefully recalled it six times from beginning to end, until sunset, when he was finally sure that there was nothing flawed in the book. The content of the book is very healthy, and the general direction is the struggle between good and evil.
In this way, I am more determined in my heart to contribute money and effort to produce this book. This is a rare business opportunity, haven't you seen the grand occasion of the scholars in Jinyang Mansion competing for reading?
Didn't you see the scene of the scholars in Jinyang Mansion arguing about this book?
This already has the basis for the big hit of "The Legend of Shushan".
It's just that......
Shopkeeper Song's brows were tightly locked, because there was only one book in this book so far. There are only more than 50,000 words. This story has not yet been written, and it looks like it is only the beginning, and I don't know how much content there is later.
It would be nice if that boy could finish writing. If you don't write it halfway through......
The champion bookstore will be discredited.
Also, can that boy write such a grand story?
Today is the fourth day, will that boy come tomorrow?
What if you don't come?
And will the big shopkeeper agree?
Xiao Wuzi should be back early tomorrow morning, right?
Shopkeeper Song suddenly suffered from gains and losses.
He didn't sleep well this night, on the one hand, he was afraid that the big shopkeeper would not agree and miss this business opportunity, after all, the big shopkeeper had not read "The Legend of Shushan", and it was normal to disagree.
On the other hand, I was afraid that the ten episodes of "The Legend of Shushan" written by Luo Xin were just games, and they didn't take it as a thing at all, so they didn't come, or they came after a few months or half a year.
It's going to be a delay!
Early the next morning.
Shopkeeper Song came to the Zhuangyuan Bookstore with two black circles under his eyes. Seeing that the guy was cleaning up, there were originally two guys in this bookstore, but the little fifth son was sent by him to deliver a letter to the big shopkeeper, so there was only one guy left. The cleaning was much slower, and the shopkeeper Song frowned slightly and said:
"Don't clean it up, do you remember the two sons who came to sell "The Legend of Shushan" that day?"
"Remember!" The guy stopped with a rag in his hand.
"You go outside and wait for those two sons, and when they come, you stop them outside, bring them into the back room through the back door, and then come and inform me."
"Hmm!"
The man put down the rag in his hand and ran out into the street to wait for someone.
Shopkeeper Song was very thoughtful, and he could tell from Luo Xin's pen name Huang Shi Weng that Luo Xin did not want to reveal his true identity. And now there is an endless stream of scholars in his bookstore every day to inquire about the second volume of "The Biography of Shushan", and he once said that there may be a second volume on the fifth day, that is, today.
In this way, there is no doubt that his champion bookstore will be full today, and it may scare the two sons to turn around and leave. So he sent his men to wait for the two sons on the street early.
Really......
Less than a quarter of an hour after the door opened, scholars walked in in twos and threes, and everyone came in and asked:
"Is the second book coming?"
Shopkeeper Song shook his head, and those scholars were disappointed, but they didn't leave, so they talked about it in the Zhuangyuan Bookstore.
After a while, Liu Xiuwen also came step by step, and when he heard that the second volume had not yet come, his face also showed disappointment. But he didn't leave, he thought that when the second book arrived, he would buy it first, and this time he even brought the silver.
And at this time, another group of scholars came from Hula outside, and when the scholars inside the door saw the scholars outside the door, someone immediately shouted:
"Huang Sheng, what are you doing here?"
