Chapter 40: Improve
Wen Yiqi's home looks very frugal, and there are almost no valuable furnishings in the home, which is very in line with the image of an "old cadre" in Song Yan's impression.
Worldly things really don't have much meaning for grandmasters, although some grandmasters are also glorious and rich, rich and rich, more for the sake of their families - they don't care, they can't let their wives and children drink the northwest wind with them.
Of course, it is not excluded that there are grandmasters who are really keen to enjoy, but that is also human nature.
Song Yan and Wen Yiqi greeted each other and sat down, this is the second time the two have met, and they are much more familiar than last night, and they are not too polite.
During the chat, Song Yan asked about the progress of arresting the disciples of the Xianyin Sect, last night Ning Er and Lin Jiamei escaped, their identities could not be hidden, and what followed may be the revenge of the Demon Sect.
Song Yan himself is not afraid, unless the other party dispatches a Jindan-level killer, he will come to deliver food more or less, but now that he lives in the Song Mansion, the rest of the Song family will suffer.
Wen Yiqi didn't look too worried about this, waved his hand and said, "The Immortal Yin Sect rarely does this kind of purely retaliatory action, but the other two Demon Sects have more...... It's a little ridiculous to say, the Xianyin Sect is the Demon Sect with the best reputation among the people, even better than some serious martial arts sects. ”
"Oh, why is that?"
"Because most of the actions of the Xianyin Sect are aimed at the government, they never deliberately do sabotage actions among the people, but there are many disciples who secretly preach in remote areas, and there are several cult organizations among the people, all of which point to the Xianyin Sect at the root. ”
Song Yan has lived in the north for a long time since he crossed over, and on the territory of the Great Guangming Temple, the three demon sects are all street rats, and he really didn't think that the form of the Central Plains would be like this.
Thinking about it again, the inheritance technique of the Xianyin Sect, "Tianyin Jue", is indeed not at all like the Demon Sect's mental method, Zhongzheng is very peaceful, and ordinary people have no problem cultivating at all.
Could it be that this is still a demon sect that wants to be whitewashed?
Song Yan was silent, and when Wen Yiqi was still worried, he said with a smile: "Of course, it is impossible to count on the Immortal Yin Sect to be conscious. This time, the whereabouts of a large number of people were exposed, and it was difficult for them to organize operations in Beijing in a short period of time. ”
Song Yan saw that he had misunderstood, so he didn't explain much, just smiled and thanked him, and then talked about today's business.
I saw him take out a thin booklet from his waist and hand it to Wen Yiqi: "Shibo, please take a look at this first." ”
Wen Yiqi took the book curiously and found that this was a martial arts cheatbook, the packaging was a little rough, and the three big characters "Dragon Claw Hand" were written on the cover.
He flipped through the content casually, and the quality of the text in it was quite good, although it was a full-text version, but the content was detailed, there were no errors or omissions, and the explanation was very clear.
The dragon claw hand is a widely spread martial art in the rivers and lakes, and everyone knows that it originated from Buddhism, but no one knows which Zen temple it came from.
And the more widely it spreads, the more bizarre versions there are, and there is no shortage of martial artists in this world who like to modify martial arts cheats, some of them are really level, and some of them are indiscriminate.
But it is precisely because of this that the martial arts cultivation can continue to bring forth the new, so that the present people are better than the ancients - the kind of ancients who have lived to modern times are not counted.
But in any case, the version of the Great Guangming Temple that Song Yan took out must be one of the best quality editions. The understanding of martial arts in Daguang Temple must be fine, and it is not old-fashioned, and the martial arts in the temple have been renovated many times before, and it can completely keep up with the times.
"The level is not bad, but it's just good. Wen Yiqi gave the final evaluation, "What are you doing when you show me this,"
Song Yan didn't answer directly, but just smiled and took out another book of martial arts - another "Dragon Claw Hand".
Wen Yiqi took it with a strange face, his patience was not bad, so he read it slowly, and then felt that he had been dumped by Song Yan.
"Aren't these two books exactly the same?" Wen Yiqi couldn't bear it no matter how good his temper was, and said angrily, "Hongwen is here to entertain the old man?"
Song Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Shi Bo Mo is annoyed, you can take a closer look...... Isn't it a bit too much that these two dragon claw hands are exactly the same?"
Wen Yiqi was actually not really annoyed, but he was unhappy to see Song Yan's hanging appetite, and at this time, he was reminded by Song Yanyi, and immediately noticed the problem.
Indeed, the content of the two books is exactly the same, and there is no difference in even the handwriting - not by the same person, but every stroke of every word is exactly the same.
This is not possible unless you are a very skilled copying painter, who comes out word by word.
Who would be so bored to copy an ordinary martial arts cheatbook? A dragon claw hand has a lot of words, how much time does it take......
Wen Yiqi was thinking like this here, and Song Yan next to him seemed to see his thoughts, and took it out of his arms with a smile, and there were nine identical "dragon claw hands" lined up, and the room was full of happy air...... Phew, it's time to string the stage.
Wen Yiqi quickly snatched the dragon claw hand, and after reading a few books in a row, his face was a little incredible.
"This is not a manuscript, it was printed in some way?" Wen Yiqi quickly reacted and looked at Song Yandao.
Although printing was not yet popular in those years, the practice of printing had long existed. Yamen at all levels use seals, and if there is any way to reproduce 100% of the text, of course, it is easiest to think of this.
Song Yan smiled and nodded.
Wen Yiqi patted Song Yan on the shoulder vigorously: "Good boy! With this kind of technique, in the future, one hundred and eighty copies of each martial art will be printed and put away, and those little guys in the Shenwu Hall will not have to break their heads in order to borrow a martial arts." ”
Shenwutang is not a specific functional institution, it is a holy place in the hearts of martial artists all over the world, and plays a role in gathering martial artists and promoting the development of martial arts.
As the Divine Sea Realm Grandmaster, Wen Yiqi is of course also a member of the Shenwu Hall, and his rank in it is not low, but he also serves as the head catcher of the six gates.
Of course, he knew the situation inside the Shenwu Hall, there were not only grandmasters in it, but also a large number of middle and low-level martial artists. They still had to queue up to borrow the martial arts they needed, because there were not many of them in the Shenwu Hall itself.
Some people say that it is not possible to copy a copy by hand?
Martial arts cheats are not only textual, they are often illustrated, and some mental methods even have a roadmap for practice, if this thing is copied by drawing a wrong point, it may be a small life when practiced.
Unless you let the grandmaster who refines this martial art take action...... But you can ask the grandmaster to help you copy the book, isn't it good to ask the grandmaster for guidance directly?
It's just that what Wen Yiqi said was obviously not the answer that Song Yan wanted, so he had to pat the dragon claw hand cheats on his hand and said, "Maybe I'm going to disappoint Shibo...... Does Shibo know how much it cost to print such a dragon claw hand?"
"How much can it be? Although Shenwutang is not rich, there is still no shortage of money. Wen Yiqi waved his hand magnificently.
He calculates according to the labor cost, even if he finds someone to copy such a book, the salary is probably this level.
The money has always been one or two silver, and the copper coin of the Great Zhou is a thousand Wen, even if it is to ensure accuracy, find a reader to copy, and the labor cost is about one tael.
It's just that the efficiency of reading people is not high, and they copy one or two books a day, and it is impossible to copy more than a dozen books a day like Song Yan in Xiaozhongshan, and the handwriting is so sloppy that people may not be able to recognize it.
And the smile on Song Yan's face remained unchanged: "This dragon claw hand has a total of forty-five pages, and the cost is about five and a half taels of silver. ”
Wen Yiqi's expression suddenly froze on his face, and he even suspected that he had heard it wrong, until Song Yan repeated it again, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and quickly stuffed back a bunch of "dragon claw hands".
"Take it, take it, we can't use this technology. ”
"Eh, Shibo, don't worry!" Song Yan was a little helpless by the old man's surprise, so he had to say, "I'm here today to talk about cooperation, and there is no need for Shenwutang to worry about the cost, I will bear it." ”
Wen Yiqi looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Do you want to sell the martial arts cheats?" With your standardized technology, it's not impossible, but it's too expensive to sell, and the sales are too poor, and it's difficult to get back to your roots." ”
After all, the old man is also an old man, and he could see Song Yan's plan at a glance, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"You don't have to worry about it, I need Shenwutang to do a qualification review for my cheats to check their quality...... Of course, you can just do it according to the rules, and you don't need extra care. ”
Martial arts appraisal is originally one of the jobs of Shenwutang, and martial artists from all walks of life are always welcome to use cheats to identify authenticity or determine grades.
It's just that the department in charge of this work has always been relatively deserted, and most of the martial artists are ancestral martial arts.
Wen Yiqi nodded and said, "If they are all of such quality as this Dragon Claw Hand, it would not be an exaggeration to set a 'good' in the hall." It's just that if the number is large, it's not easy to say in terms of efficiency, and the group of guys in the hall ...... Alas. ”
Speaking of this, Wen Yiqi was a little embarrassed, as if he was ashamed of the inefficiency of Shenwu Hall: "Maybe twenty or thirty copies a day is the most." ”
"This is a bit troublesome, I need to identify the martial arts, maybe there will be thirty or fifty thousand copies every month. Song Yan said with a look of embarrassment, "By the way, if I pay one or two silver for each cheatbook, do you always think that the efficiency can be improved?"
The room was suddenly quiet, Wen Yiqi raised his head in shock, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence:
"Improving ...... How high can you go!"
