Central, Hong Kong Island.

It was early in the morning, and a large number of office workers were hurrying through the streets.

Outside a newsstand, the boss was busy packing up the magazines and newspapers that had been delivered in the early hours of the morning.

"Boss, buy a copy of the latest "Kyushu"!" a man dressed as Sven, carrying a briefcase in his hand, quickly ran to the entrance of the newsstand and shouted to the busy boss outside.

"Okay!" the boss got up and returned to the kiosk, took out a copy of "Kyushu" that was only delivered in the morning, and handed it to Sven Nan.

"Here you go. Sven Nan paid, took the magazine, and hurriedly prepared to leave to catch the next bus.

Seeing that the people were leaving, the boss immediately poked his head out and shouted: "Hey, sir, I just sent a bundle of prequels published by Kyushu magazine this morning, do you want to buy a copy?"

"Kyushu prequel?"

Sven Nan stopped when he heard the news, walked back to look at the boss in the small window, and asked curiously, "What Kyushu prequel?"

The boss immediately squatted down, untied a bundle of books under his feet, picked up a brand-new book in the middle that was good enough to smell the ink, and handed it to Sven Nan and said, "No, it's just this "Flood Wilderness"!!"

"Flood!"

Looking at the two cursive fonts "Honghuang" on the cover of the book, the simple charm and atmosphere that came to his face made Sven Nan a little surprised, he had also read a thousand words, and he knew where this word came from, so he couldn't help but say: "What a big breath, it was actually named Honghuang!"

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the ......boss shook his head and said a few thousand-word words, and then said with a smile: "Above "Kyushu", isn't it the flood famine?"

"Bring me a copy, how much does it cost?!"

Although I don't know how this book has anything to do with Kyushu, he loves to read this magazine, so he naturally wants to buy it.

The boss said, "Eight bucks!"

Sven Nan was surprised: "It's so expensive!"

The boss shrugged: "No way, this is the retail price set by other magazines, and it is definitely worth the money!"

"Then let's have a copy!" Sven Nan still paid for eight yuan, but now most books only sell for five yuan, so it's normal to think it's a little expensive.

"Okay. After receiving the money, the boss handed him the book.

Sven Nan held a magazine and a book, and hurriedly ran to the bus that was speeding not far away.

finally squeezed into the bus, and there was nothing to do, but Sven Nan was used to it, leaned on the backrest of a seat, picked up the two books he bought before, and didn't rush to read the "Kyushu" magazine first, but took out the "Flood Wilderness".

The first page turned is a preface, "China's 5,000-year-old civilization has a long history, and in this long history, countless colorful and meaningful mythological stories have been born, as well as many mythological themes such as "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" in the Ming and Qing dynasties. But most of the myths are just passed on by people's mouths, and there are many differences between the north and the south. Contemptible people are not talented, and dare to include these myths and stories in the Kyushu fantasy world I founded, and create an unprecedented legend and history of the flood. ”

The preface written by Huo Yaowen made Sven Nan's eyes light up, and he couldn't wait to turn the next page, not the text, but a black and white illustration, on which appeared was a naked burly man with a giant axe, and countless strange-looking demons appeared densely around it.

In the upper left corner, it reads, "The first time: Pangu opened the heavens to preach, and the three thousand demon gods all died. ”

"It turned out to be Pangu Kaitian! It's just that what are these three thousand demon gods?

When Sven Nan saw this name, he suddenly came to a trance, Pangu's great name, but all the sons and daughters of China knew it. However, the meaning of the latter words is completely unclear.

This also made him look at it slowly with curiosity, and unconsciously indulged in it, and a few people around him who were crowded together were also idle, so they followed it.

"Pangu wields an axe to open the world, and the sun and moon appear at the beginning of Hongmeng's ......"

"The immeasurable tribulation finally started, and the three clans of the dragon and Han tribulations declined ......"

"The Eastern Emperor Taiyi Imperial Ten Thousand Demons, Nuwa Refines Stones to Supplement the Sky ......"

The wonderful ancient myths have different meanings and flavors written by Huo Yaowen.

The classic lines "Heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs", "Under the saints are all ants", the crowd was full of excitement and excitement.

"It's so exciting!"

Sven Nan was so excited that he just shouted, looked up, and saw that the car had already stopped, and the driver who was wiping the steering wheel in front of him turned around and sneered and said, "I said this gentleman, is he still reading?

"Ah!!!h

————

Since the publication of "The Flood Waste", it only took two days to sell more than 30,000 copies, which in addition to the support of loyal readers of "Kyushu", many passers-by bought the book.

Without him, thanks to the reports in the major newspapers.

"Ming Pao" wrote: "There are many ancient Chinese myths, such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the first strange book of the ages, and then "The Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West", "Sou Shen Ji" and other ancient books of the Ming and Qing dynasties. But there are too many Chinese myths, such as Pangu opening the sky, Kuafu chasing the sun, Jingwei reclamation, Houyi shooting the sun, agarwood saving the mother, etc., although there are many, but many but not refined, no one has ever been able to tell the root or history of these myths.

Some people may say that myths are myths, and they are not real history, so how can we talk about the roots? But today, Mr. Huo's new work "The Flood Famine" has come out, which has made us understand the history of these myths. It can be called "Fengshen" and "Journey to the West", there is a mythical masterpiece!"

There are newspapers to praise, and naturally there are newspapers to scold, anyway, it's all for sales, and while it's being touted, different voices appear, which will definitely attract people!

No, "Sing Tao Daily" scolded Huo Yaowen in the newspaper for reversing the myth and making it up, which is completely blasphemy of Chinese myths and legends.

With "Sing Tao Daily", the largest newspaper on Hong Kong Island, responders have risen one after another, as if to suppress Huo Yaowen's arrogance and invincibility in recent years, more than a dozen small newspapers have all borrowed the articles of "Star Daily" and began to fight against Huo Yaowen.

Huo Yaowen ignored these newspapers, anyway, they all added popularity to their books, and the more fierce the scolding, it was enough to prove that the books sold better. Isn't the previous "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" an example?

Moreover, when writing "The Flood Famine", Huo Yaowen also eliminated many of the more radical and controversial content in later generations, and only retained the general trend of the flood famine, but the plot was mostly based on ancient myths, and then re-adapted it.

Huo Yaowen didn't pay attention to these people, but Yao Wenjie immediately found a lot of writers, and fought back in the newspaper, using "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" as examples.

Didn't you say that you would turn the myth upside down and make it up?

This Hongjun is a character in "Fengshen"!

Blasphemy and mythology?

In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong hit the heavens and threatened to be the Jade Emperor himself, if you say blasphemy, you should go to Luo Guanzhong, he is the biggest blasphemer.

The two parties were not convinced, and the pen battle became more and more fierce, but no matter what, the sales of "The Flood" are still rising every day, from 30,000 copies to 50,000 copies, and then to 100,000 copies, and it only took more than half a month to sell 140,000 copies.

But embarrassingly, Aoki's Fang Zhengde sent a telegram, saying that the Cultural Bureau did not agree to introduce the book, so he had to miss this good opportunity to make money. Despite this, Aoki of Fang Zhengde was not published, but in private, those pirated booksellers printed it on a large scale, changing the name of "The Flood Famine" to the name of "Ancient Mythology", but made a lot of money in Taiwan.
