Seven weapons? That's the title of the book? It's weird.

But they've all seen the stranger titles, and the names seem normal compared to those. Experienced editors are already speculating that this could be seven short stories.

"These are six short stories, and everyone is passing them on to each other. The editor-in-chief, Tang Lin, opened the document as he spoke, and handed the printout, which was divided into six parts, to several editors around him.

Xu Guangrong is the senior editor-in-chief of "Jianghu Night Talk", so his seat is next to the editor-in-chief. From the moment the editor-in-chief came in, his eyes never took off the pile of papers.

He didn't know what was written in it. But the editor-in-chief suddenly called all the editors over for a meeting, and nine times out of ten it was for this pile of documents. The work that allows the editor-in-chief to do this is certainly extraordinary.

As an old editor and a martial arts enthusiast, how can he not be tempted by an excellent story in front of him.

When the editor-in-chief motioned for everyone to pass it on, he grabbed the above one with lightning speed. The editor-in-chief knew his temperament well and didn't say anything but glared at him. As if he hadn't seen it, he couldn't wait to look at the manuscript in his hand.

Thinking of the name on the cover, Seven Weapons, he finally confirmed his idea, this is a collection of short stories.

Twilight.

Suddenly nine strange men appeared on the stone street, jute shirts, multi-eared bast shoes, a bowl-sized gold ring hanging from the left ear, and their hair was all red, and they were scattered over their shoulders like flames.

These nine people were tall and short, old and young, and although their faces were different, their faces were all expressionless like dead people, and they walked without moving their shoulders or knees, like zombies.

They walked slowly down the long street, and wherever they passed, all sounds immediately stopped, and even the children's cries were abruptly stopped.

At the end of the street, on a three-zhang high flagpole, four large lanterns were raised.

Vermilion lanterns, black letters,

"Fengyun Inn".

The story of the Immortal Sword slowly unfolded before his eyes. The more Xu Guangrong looked at it, the more excited he became: "This kind of brushstroke, this style...... Good alternative. ”

Alternative sometimes means unsociable, sometimes trendy. Although he had only seen the first part, he had already vaguely felt that there was a trend...... No, a whole new genre is about to be born.

Soon he didn't have time to think about it, the story was so wonderful that he was so captivated that he forgot everything around him.

The other five editors are similar to him, immersed in the wonderful story one after another

"Peacock Feather" ......

"Jasper Knife" ......

"Amorous Ring" ......

Each of the six stories is so brilliant that the six editors are sometimes furious, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes brooding...... Those who don't know think that the mentally ill person is in a meeting.

The editors who didn't have their turn saw the expressions of the six of them, and they didn't know that they had produced excellent works, and they were all scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously, eager to snatch a copy back from someone else's hand.

"Seven Weapons" is one of the masterpieces of Gu Long, a famous martial arts master in his previous life. It is divided into six stories: the Immortal Sword, the Peacock Feather, the Jasper Knife, the Amorous Ring, the Parting Hook, and the Overlord Gun. The seventh story became an eternal regret in the martial arts world because of his untimely death.

This masterpiece has written all the love of the world, the love of the world, the hatred of the world, and the evil of the world...... Whatever you write, you write it to the extreme. In this work, Gu Long poured out a lifetime of experience. This book is a treasure trove of life, and it has literally influenced a generation.

And this book is also far beyond the scope of martial arts in form...... No, it should be said that he raised the height of martial arts to the level of an allegory.

"Seven Weapons" transcends the scope of its own genre and subject matter, and reaches the height of a philosophy of life that is difficult to achieve even in "serious novels".

Classics can cross the world, and it is no surprise that the seven weapons conquer everyone in front of them.

"Editor-in-chief, which famous artist's work is this?" This was the first sentence Xu Guangrong asked after reading the manuscript in his hand, and without waiting for Tang Lin to answer, he shook his head and said to himself: "No, no." This style is very different from any martial arts writer I know, and it should not be the work of a famous artist. Is it a newcomer?"

"No way. Another editor-in-chief put down the manuscript in his hand and flatly denied it: "The writing is beautiful and spicy, and the idea is far-reaching, and no, it is not something that a newcomer can do." I guess it was the one who made the breakthrough. ”

"It's unlikely. Another editor-in-chief looked up and said, "Everyone has their own style, and it's hard to change." Even if it breaks through. And the style of this novel has never been seen before, and it should not be a breakthrough. ”

Several others also took the floor to participate in the discussion, but while they were discussing, their hands were still firmly grasping the manuscript, and there was no need to pass it on to others.

The others who had been waiting for a long time were naturally unhappy: "Hey, I said that a few of you can pass the manuscript to others first, and several people here are waiting." ”

Only then did these six react, smiling and reluctantly passing the manuscript to the others. Of course, what they want to do most is watch the other five stories, but it would be too much to do that, and it would anger the public.

"Huh?" Xu Guangrong seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked Tang Lin suspiciously: "Editor-in-chief, isn't this series called Seven Weapons? Then there should be seven stories." Why only six?"

The other editors realized that this was the case, and that there should be seven stories for each of the seven weapons. Now there are only six, and what about the remaining one? It can't be that the editor-in-chief has hidden it.

"The book is called Seven Weapons, but it's really only six stories. The author's explanation is that seven is just an imaginary number, representing all the weapons in the world. Only six stories are written, and the remaining one is not written, which represents the meaning of unfinished. Looking at everyone's reactions, Tang Lin felt emotion in his heart, and when he first saw this work, he was also shocked and speechless for a long time.

After that, there was an uncontrollable joy - martial arts was finally about to rise again.

"Don't say anything, don't do anything. This author is a particular person and a person with ideas. Yu Rongguang was stunned for a moment before replying.

"But the editor-in-chief, you haven't said who this author is, is it a famous artist's vest?" another editor-in-chief couldn't help but ask.

"This writer is very famous, not only in China, but also in the world literary circles. It's just that he is not a martial arts writer, and "Seven Weapons" should be his first martial arts work. Thinking of that writer, Tang Lin was in a trance, and that name was more shocking than martial arts novels.

The more he was like this, the more curious the others became. "Editor-in-chief, don't be appetizing, tell me who it is. ”

Tang Lin glanced around and found that everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to reveal the answer, and then slowly spit out a name: "Seven Nights." ”

"Seven Nights?" Xu Guangrong frowned, this name is so familiar, why can't I remember where I heard it.

However, he was not annoyed for long, and soon someone helped him find the answer: "Seven nights? Isn't this Zhu Ziqing's pen name?"

Zhu Ziqing: As soon as Xu Guangrong was reminded, he remembered that Qiye was not Zhu Ziqing's pen name. His works such as "Seven Nights Fairy Tale", "Little Beanie by the Window", and "The Wizard of Oz" were all written under this pseudonym.

However, Zhu Ziqing and martial arts ...... Forgive him for not spinning fast enough, he just can't connect the two.

"Editor-in-chief, the seven nights you are talking about can't be the seven nights when you write fairy tales, right?"

"Is there anyone else in the literary world called Seven Nights besides him?"

“…… Nope. ”

"That's the end of it. ”

"But...... He writes martial arts ...... I couldn't believe it. ”

"It's so well written. ”

is the shadow of the so-called famous tree, and the first genius Zhu Ziqing's name has not heard of it. They couldn't believe that he could write martial arts, and he wrote so well.

"I think he wrote it. Another editor-in-chief suddenly said, "He is known to have a very varied style of writing, and almost every book is different in style. "Seven Weapons" is also a new style, a past that he wrote and talked about. ”

And he can control works of various genres, fairy tales, comics, campus novels, prose, poetry, military, anti-corruption, reasoning...... I also write songs...... It is not impossible to write martial arts novels now. ”

"This martial arts novel is genius enough to incorporate the form of an allegory and a philosophical idea...... Many of his fairy tales are allegorical...... His Analects is a philosophical work......"

"Based on all indications, it is very likely that the author of this book is Zhu Ziqing. ”

......As soon as his words fell, the editor-in-chief Tang Lin applauded: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being the elite of our society, and this analysis is reasonable and convincing." ”

The most important thing is that after reading only one of them, I grasped the highlights and essence of the book, and connected these with Zhu Ziqing's situation. It can be seen that the literary literacy of this editor-in-chief is very high. There are such elites under his command, and the editor-in-chief Tang Lin also feels that there is a light on his face.

The author of this book is Zhu Ziqing, the first day genius and the owner of Skynet. "Tang Lin confirmed the identity of this 'Seven Nights'.

It's really him. Even if you have known that these seven nights are the other seven nights, the editors are still amazed.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first talent, and even martial arts novels are written so well. In the past, I was still a little unconvinced, but now I am convinced. Xu Guangrong exclaimed.

Little did he know that he wasn't the first person to say it, and he wouldn't be the last.

"Okay guys, now let's leave this work or not. Tang Lin knocked on the table and asked to attract everyone's attention.

"Do you still need to ask, you must stay. If such a good work is not left, our magazine will simply disband. Xu Guangrong almost jumped up, and said in an excited tone.

Others also took a stand and stayed.

"Everybody wants to stay? I want to stay, but have you ever thought about what price we're going to offer him? (To be continued.) )
