Chapter 238: The Battle for the Book King and the True and False Book King

"Brother Dark Shadow, although you are the future king of the novel world, don't be careless. Lin Shushu reminded, "The Book King has a supreme position in Huaxia, and many scholars are eyeing the position of the Book King, so you have to pay more attention." There is one person you want to pay special attention to, this person is called Ouyang Tian. ”

"Ouyang Tian?" Liu Xing was curious, "Who is he?"

"Ouyang Tian is Ouyang Wen's father, a genius writer of the Snow Novel Academy, and is currently the president of the Xuelian Star Writers Association and the president of the Xuelian City Book Appreciation Association. Lin Shushu introduced, "At the 4th 'Xiaoyao Cup' Novel Competition, Ouyang Tian passed the test and finally won the first place at the age of 29. ”

Liu Xing suddenly realized, sure enough, he was a tiger father without a dog.

Ouyang Wen won the third place in the just-concluded 20th Xiaoyao Cup Novel Competition, and his future is limitless. Unexpectedly, his father Ouyang Tian's talent was even more amazing, and he won the championship of the 4th Novel Contest at the age of 29.

The winner of each edition of the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest will automatically become a candidate for the Book King, and have the opportunity to challenge the Book King Xiaoyaoke. If the challenge is successful, MEmu must directly relinquish the position of book king.

From the 1st to the 17th edition of the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Competition, a total of 17 candidates for the Book King were born, and all of them have challenged Xiaoyaoke. Unfortunately, the challenge of 17 challengers ended in failure, and Ouyang Tian was one of them.

As for the winner of the 18th Novel Contest, out of respect for the King of Books, he voluntarily gave up the opportunity to challenge the King of Books. The winner of the 19th Fiction Contest died soon after due to a terminal illness. Didn't challenge the king of books either.

As a result, in the past 40 years, Xiaoyaoke has always been the king of books in eastern China. His position is untouchable.

According to the relevant regulations, the Black Shadow Man won the championship of the 20th Novel Contest and originally had the qualification to challenge the King of Books. It's just that the Qasmu has disappeared, and this challenge is naturally impossible to carry out at the moment.

"After Ouyang Tian failed to challenge the Xiaoyaoke back then, he realized the huge gap between his Xiaoyaoke. Lin Shushu introduced, "Ouyang Tian found that Xiaoyaoke was an all-rounder, and he was proficient in writing, book appreciation, and reading. Thereupon. Ouyang Tian aspires to become an all-rounder, and after decades of hard work, he has now become the president of the Xuelian Star Writers Association and the Book Appreciation Association. He is the only president of the double association in eastern China. Ouyang Tian has always been worried about the position of the Book King, and now that the Loose Guest is missing, it is Ouyang Tian's best opportunity, and he will definitely not let it go. ”

Liu Xing said: "According to what you say." Ouyang Tian can also be regarded as a genius. ”

"Not bad. Ouyang Tian is indeed a person who can achieve great things, because his heart is ruthless enough!" Lin Shushu said, "In order to focus all his energy on novels and become the king of books, Ouyang Tian set up a plot to kill his wife more than 20 years ago, and he thought that his wife would drag him down. ”

"Killing his wife?" Liu Xing frowned, "How do you know?"

"I found out in the dungeons of the Forbidden Books section. "There are some stories that can only be heard from the mouths of prisoners. This is one of the reasons why I want to live in the forbidden zone for a long time. Ouyang Tian is willing to kill his wife, I believe that this person can do anything. Shadow Brother. You'd better find a way to clean up Ouyang Tian first, so as to prevent future troubles. ”

After speaking, Lin Shushu took out the first volume of the recently compiled "Collection of Stories of Chinese Celebrities", handed it over, and said, "There are some secret information about Ouyang Tian in this book, you can take a look." ”

……

Three days later.

At the Meteor Book Bar, the TV in the lobby on the first floor is playing the news.

"The latest news from this station, Fu Changding, the runner-up of the 20th Xiaoyao Cup Novel Competition, just said on his personal Weibo that he will participate in the Black Shadow Man Cup Novel Contest and support the Black Shadow Man as the king of books. With the addition of Fu Changding, among the top ten writers in this year's novel competition, 9 writers have publicly supported Black Shadow Man. ”

As of today, more than 57,000 writers have participated in the second Black Shadow Man Cup Novel Competition, including 289 star-rated writers and an astonishing 59 five-star writers, setting a record in the history of the non-governmental essay contest. ”

……

After reading the news, Wang Lanlan was a little excited: "The number of five-star writers who support the Black Shadow Man has increased by 14, and the popularity of the Black Shadow Man is really high." Liu Xing, do you think the Black Shadow Man will agree to be the king of books?"

Liu Xingdao: "I don't think so." The king of books is a chore, he has to manage hundreds of millions of readers, and he has to deal with a bunch of bad things every day, which is not as good as ordinary people. ”

"However, the Black Shadow Man is the best candidate for the Book King!"

"How do you know that the Shadow Man is suitable to be the Book King?"

"It's a girl's instinct. ”

This is clearly the intuition of the brainless fan. ”

"Hee-hee. Wang Lanlan held her chin with her small hand, with an expectant expression on her face, and muttered to herself, "If only the Black Shadow Man could become the king of books, it is estimated that I can be faster when my new book is reviewed in the future." ”

"......" This girl is thinking quite far.

……

Yufeng Fiction Academy, Conference Room.

"The essay contest has been launched for three days, and the Black Shadow Man has not appeared so far. The dean of the Treading Snow Fiction Academy said, "It's not a way to wait any longer, we should make more plans." ”

Ouyang Tian agreed: "We can't hang ourselves from a tree. We have a total of 20 candidates for the king of books, and the Black Shadow Man is just one of them, and it is difficult to convince the public to directly let the Black Shadow Man be the king of books. If you want me to say, let's simply vote for the 20 candidates for the king of books, and whoever has the highest number of votes will be the king of books. ”

"Ouyang Tian's proposal is good, and the voting method is the fairest. ”

"I am also in favor of voting for the king of books, which is the best way to win the hearts of the people. ”

Several members of the board of directors have expressed their opinions.

Hearing this, Du Hefeng's brows furrowed slightly, and the last thing he wanted to see seemed to be about to happen.

Du Hefeng knew very well in his heart that once the king of books was elected by voting, the council would definitely be divided and become several opposing camps.

When the time comes. Before the external contradictions are resolved, the internal contradictions may erupt first, which is undoubtedly the worst situation.

It is the consequence of understanding this. Du Hefeng insisted on proposing that the Black Shadow Man be the king of the book, because only the Black Shadow Man had enough deterrent power to make everyone unite and unite against Feng Manlou.

Dealing with the wind is the most important thing at the moment.

It's a pity that the Dark Shadow Man has not been heard from so far, and many people in the council naturally want to take advantage of the fire to rob and take the throne of the book king.

"If there is no objection, we will immediately start the voting ceremony for the book king election. Ouyang Tian directly proposed.

Du Hefeng hurriedly interrupted: "We are holding the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Contest. It is to invite the Black Shadow Man to help with the greatest sincerity. If we invite the Shadow Man and vote for the Book King ourselves, it is disrespectful to the Shadow Man. I think the ballot is on hold for the time being. Wait for the Shadow Man to show up. ”

Ouyang Tian asked rhetorically: "Dean Du, if the Black Shadow Man never appears, will we sit back and wait for death? Feng Manlou will definitely have a big action soon, and we have no leader." How to deal with the unexpected? We don't have time to wait for the Shadow Man. It should be decided immediately. ”

"Ouyang Tian is right, he should vote for a book king first. ”

"I also agree to vote. ”

Seeing that many council members stood on Ouyang Tian's side, Du Hefeng's face suddenly became a little more solemn, and after thinking for a while, he could only come up with a delaying strategy, and said, "Otherwise, wait for three more days." If the Shadow Man doesn't show up after three days, we'll elect the Book King. ”

"Three days?" Ouyang Tian pondered for a while. Nodding, "Okay." Wait three more days!"

……

After the conclusion of the meeting of the Council.

In the afternoon of the same day, there was a blockbuster news in Tianhai City, Du Hefeng publicly stated that he wanted to participate in the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Contest.

After this news was exposed, it immediately aroused heated discussions from all walks of life.

Du Hefeng has been the dean of the Yufeng Novel Academy for more than 40 years, and he is the first generation disciple of the Book King Xiaoyaoke, and he is considered the oldest generation within the Reading Alliance.

A character of his level would hardly participate in any fiction contest. Because once you participate, you will be able to win the championship.

Although Du Hefeng has not participated in the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Competition, in the eyes of many readers, he is also one of the candidates for the king of books.

Today, Du Hefeng chose to participate in the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Contest and personally invited the Black Shadow Man to succeed him as the king of books, a move that surprised many people.

Du Hefeng's entry is called "To Mr. Black Shadow Man", which is not so much a novel as an invitation letter to Black Shadow Man.

Du Hefeng knew that he had little time left, so he could only do his best, hoping to impress the black shadow man with his sincerity.

As one of the deans of the four major novel academies, Du Hefeng's influence in eastern China is still very significant.

After the publication of "To Mr. Black Shadow Man", many readers responded positively, and 19 five-star writers publicly supported Black Shadow Man on the same day.

On the second day, the number of five-star writers participating in the Black Shadow Man Cup Essay Contest exceeded 150, and many old writers who had been retired for many years went out to write novels again.

On the third day, Zhang Lihua, the dean of the Lihua Fiction Academy, also announced her support for the Black Shadow Man, and under her leadership, the number of five-star writers participating in the competition directly exceeded 200, and the lineup of writers was not inferior to the "Xiaoyao Cup" Novel Competition.

In addition to writers, many top connoisseurs, reading masters, fiction media and other groups have expressed their support for Black Shadow in their own ways.

In just three days, the call for the Black Shadow Man to succeed the Book King became louder and louder, and the momentum of publicity overshadowed the previous Fengmanlou, which no one could match.

The only regret is that three days have passed, and the Shadow Man is still nowhere to be seen.

……

Late at night, halfway up the mountain.

On an uphill trail, Du Hefeng and Zhang Lihua walked side by side.

Zhang Lihua is the dean of the Lianhua Novel Academy, and she, like Du Hefeng, is the first generation of Xiaoyaoke's disciples.

"Alas, the Black Shadow Man wouldn't really be completely uninterested in being the Book King, would he?" Du Hefeng sighed.

"Senior Brother Du, the three-day agreement has expired, and the Black Shadow Man still hasn't appeared, what are you going to do?" Zhang Lihua asked worriedly.

"In any case, there can be no balloting. Du Hefeng said, "Since the black shadow man did not appear, we will pretend to be a black shadow man." ”

"Pretending to be a black shadow man?" Zhang Lihua raised an eyebrow when she heard it, "Senior Brother Du." Are you going to let people pretend to be the Black Shadow Man, and then elect this fake Black Shadow Man to be the book king?"

"Not bad. Du Hefeng nodded and said, "Let the fake black shadow man hold up the scene first." Stabilize the situation, and talk about the rest slowly. ”

Zhang Lihua worried: "The crime of pretending to be the king of books is not trivial, if it is exposed in the future, your reputation will be ruined, senior brother." ”

Du Hefeng said: "If this crisis can be resolved, what is my reputation? Senior sister, do you still remember what Master said to us when we were the dean of the School of Fiction?"

"Of course I do. Zhang Lihua recalled. "At that time, Master repeatedly told us that the purpose of forming the Reading Alliance was to benefit the people of the world. And not for selfishness. ”

Du Hefeng sighed: "Now the Reading Alliance is in jeopardy, if it is not handled properly, it will not only be torn apart, but also many people will die. For the sake of the big picture. We can only take risks. Find an impostor Shadow Man to act as the Book King. If something happens, I'll take care of it alone. ”

Zhang Lihua knew that he had made up his mind, and asked, "Senior Brother Du, the Black Shadow Man has extraordinary martial arts, who are you going to let pretend to be him?"

"You'll find out in a moment. ”

Not long after, the two of them came to a forest on the mountainside of Yufeng Mountain, and there were bursts of strange noises in front of them, and they looked at it. I saw a black figure jumping around in midair.

The black figure, dressed in black, flew back and forth in the woods. It looks a bit like the Shadow Man.

"Hong'er. Du Hefeng shouted.

The black figure immediately stopped and greeted him: "Grandpa!" took off the black hat on his head, revealing a delicate face, in his early twenties, a handsome young man.

The young man's name is Du Feihong, and he is Du Hefeng's grandson. Du Feihong has been fond of martial arts since he was a child, and is currently studying in the martial arts department of Yufeng Novel Academy, and has learned leg art from many martial artists.

Since the appearance of the Black Shadow Man in Tianhai City two years ago, Du Feihong has regarded the Black Shadow Man as his idol.

"Senior Brother Du, are you going to let Fei Hong pretend to be a black shadow man?" Zhang Lihua saw the name of the name.

"Not bad. Du Hefeng explained, "Hong'er wears super stretch shoes under her feet, which can show good bounce power. In addition, I have asked people to design steel wires in the nearby mountains and forests, which can assist Hong'er in flying. In this way, Hong'er can pretend to be a dark shadow man in this wood. ”

Zhang Lihua asked again: "At that time, Fei Hong will promise to be the king of books in the name of the Black Shadow Man?"

Du Hefeng nodded.

Zhang Lihua asked: "However, paper can't contain fire." ”

Du Hefeng said: "Now I can only take one step at a time, and I will survive this period of time first, I hope that the real black shadow man can appear as soon as possible." Turning his head, he told Du Feihong, "Hong'er, you have to practice more skills of pretending to be a black shadow man, hoping to bluff the old people of the council." ”

Du Feihong promised: "Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely not show my stuffing." ”

After a few words, Du Hefeng and Zhang Lihua left Yufeng Mountain.

As for Du Feihong, he was dressed in black and continued to practice in the woods, kicking his elastic shoes on the ground, and with a pop, his body jumped 10 meters high, and after crossing an arc in the air, he fell back to the ground.

With a bang, Du Feihong bounced up again and continued to fly.

With the help of the elasticity of super elastic shoes, Du Feihong rises and falls in the woods, jumping up and down. This kind of stretch shoes seems to pull the wind, but it is actually not easy to use.

The force generated by stretch shoes is too great, and the average person needs to practice repeatedly to get used to its intensity. At the same time, when flying at an altitude of 10 meters, the requirements for balance are also very high, and accidents may occur if you don't slip away.

Boom!

Suddenly, Du Feihong did not control the strength of the elastic shoes, and the flight direction deviated, and he directly hit a big tree, accompanied by a miserable scream, fell from mid-air, and fell to the sky.

If it weren't for the airbag on his body, I am afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.

"It's not going to break a bone, is it?"

When he landed, Du Feihong only felt a sharp pain in his left ankle, and when he took off his shoes, he found that his ankle was swollen and a little bruised.

"No, I'm going to start pretending to be a black shadow man in the next few days, I have to practice again!

Thinking of this, Du Feihong put on elastic shoes, gritted his teeth, stood up again, and continued to practice flying.

Scold!

The body bounced up again, but the left foot couldn't withstand the strong elastic force at all, Du Feihong screamed in pain, his body lost his balance again, and he fell to the ground again.

"Ahh

After speaking, Du Feihong was ready to continue practicing.

"If you continue to practice like this, this leg will be useless. At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice came from overhead.

"Who?" Du Feihong looked up and saw a man dressed in black sitting on a branch more than ten meters high.

Du Feihong thought that he was hallucinating, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, there was indeed a man in black on the branch, his body was all wrapped in black, and he couldn't see his face.

"Black ...... Dark shadow man?" Du Feihong's eyes lit up, and his voice trembled a little with excitement.
