At noon on the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, Dai Changan walked out of the nephrite pavilion that had just opened. Since he received a large amount of manuscript fees and rewards from Wanjia two days ago, he has been lingering in this gentle country for several days and cannot extricate himself, until today, his body can't stand it anymore, so he left.

Of course, if he were to give an explanation, Dai Changan would only say that he was collecting style and experiencing life, so that he could write a better and more lifelike "action scene". It's just that his pale face and vain legs tell something else.

Fortunately, he didn't forget his identity after all, so before going home, he deliberately turned to the bookstore not far away to see how his books were selling, and also checked whether the fourth volume of the letter had been published. As a result, when he arrived at the door of the bookstore, he saw several people surrounding the boss, but he asked Fengshen: "Boss, didn't you say yesterday that the fourth volume of "Romance of the Fengshen" will arrive today?" Why hasn't it been until now, isn't it playing tricks on us? ”

Boss Liu of the bookstore explained with a wry smile: "I also heard this from the Gujia Bookstore two days ago, and I have already asked the guy to urge me to inquire, if the book comes out, I will sell it to you as soon as possible." ”

His book has never been so remembered, which made Dai Changan's heart sour, and he could only cheer himself up: "Soon, my Feng Immortal will be able to surpass that god and become the most sought after book in our county......"

Then he really heard someone mention Feng Xian, but it was Boss Liu who took the opportunity to recommend it to those guests: "Actually, if you are in a hurry to see Feng Shen, there are still a few volumes of "Romance of Feng Xian" in my store, which is also quite exciting, not only has it been released to the fourth volume, but the price is also cheaper, and you can buy all four volumes for only ten taels." ”

"Romance of the Immortals? I've heard people say before, is this book good? How about being a god? Someone asked unconsciously and temptingly.

"At least in my opinion, it's not much different, but the author Mr. Chang'an writes quickly, and some of the plots in it are much more interesting than Fengshen." As the boss spoke, he smiled ambiguously.

Before he could say anything more, he saw another customer snort disdainfully: "I have also read that book, and the whole story is almost the same as that of Fengshen, there is nothing of its own at all, it is not worth reading." ”

"That's right, so it's cheap and not good, and there are a lot of insulting content in it, it's really unsightly!"

Hearing such comments from two people in a row, some people who were originally excited lost interest: "Then I'll wait for Fengshen to come out and buy it, this book is comfortable to look at." ”

These words all fell into Dai Changan's ears, making his originally pale face flush, and his breathing was urgent, and he immediately rushed into the bookstore, and said to the two customers who criticized his novels: "How can you say that Feng Xian is not as good as Feng Shen, essay pen, and story, which is it worse?" ”

These people didn't expect someone to react like this, they were all stunned for a moment, and the previous one laughed and said: "Brother Tai, why are you so angry, are you the author of the book Feng Xian?" ”

"When...... Of course not! At this time, Dai Changan had calmed down a little, and he would not admit his identity, but said casually: "I just feel unfair for Mr. Chang'an, and his book is quite good when I look at it......

"That's brother, you haven't seen Fengshen, if you want me to say that this Fengxian is completely copied from the plot of Fengshen, and there are some unsightly contents there, in fact, most of them are used to in the novels of many talented and beautiful women that were prevalent before, and that Mr. Chang'an's own previous books also have such content. So in my opinion, this Romance of the Immortals can't be compared to the gods at all! ”

"You ......" his book was said to be worthless to his face, which immediately made Dai Changan angry, and he really wanted to tell them loudly that he was the author of this book, which was also his own hard work. But when the words come to the mouth, they can't be said after all.

And at this moment, a cart full of books came slowly, and the boss saw it and shouted loudly: "Here, the fourth volume of the gods is here, don't you want to buy books?" "He's really afraid that these people will start to do it in his shop.

Sure enough, hearing this greeting, everyone's attention quickly shifted, and they all looked forward to watching the guy bring a stack of books into the store, and then squeezed in front of the boss, taking out the money and scrambling to buy the books. The boss was even more smiling at the moment, and while collecting money and distributing books, he beckoned: "Don't worry, everyone, we have entered a hundred books this time, and we will definitely not let anyone go home empty-handed." ”

There is that anxious, after buying the book, he immediately opened it and quickly flipped through the contents, and after only reading two pages, some people praised it repeatedly: "This Xiaoyaozi's writing has risen again!" Wow, the Ten Absolute Formations are so powerful, and the three hundred Great Zhou soldiers entered and turned into blood mist in an instant, how can this be good......"

"Hey, you have to talk about it and go back to your house, we haven't seen it yet!" Someone next to him immediately shouted dissatisfied, so that the person hurriedly smiled and apologized, and then hurried away, obviously in a hurry to go home and read.

Seeing this scene, Dai Changan was really jealous, but after sulking for a while, he still spent five taels of silver to buy a new book, after all, he was still counting on "getting inspiration" from the gods to continue his immortal sealing.

Dai Changan, who was worried, returned home, ignored his wife's concerned greetings, and immediately locked himself in the study, opened the book and read it at a glance. This look, until I saw that the sky was dark, and I couldn't see the words clearly without lighting the lamp, so I stopped.

At this moment, Dai Changan no longer has the previous resentment, but his eyes are full of helplessness and loss. Even if he is reluctant, he must admit that he is too far behind him. If he only reads the first three volumes, he feels that he is really not weaker than the other party, and he can also come up with and write those plots. But after reading most of the volume, this idea has vanished.

The huge battle scene of thousands of troops and horses in the book, the exquisite killing of the Ten Absolute Formations, and the various methods and skills of Xiqi to cooperate with the immortals to break the formation, he has never done it even in his dreams. If it weren't for the content of the book, he would never have imagined such a turn.

In the end, there are vivid characters, Nezha, Yang Jian, Jiang Ziya, and even villains such as Wen Zhong and Zhao Gongming, all of which are also on the page, making people have an extremely deep impression, which is much stronger than his own Feng Xian. Even, he just wants to copy it, and he has no clue for a while, unless he copies it completely, but that will only make more people spit on his novel...... For a while, his mind was confused, and he had the idea of giving up and continuing to write about Feng Xian.

……

Even an author like Dai Changan, who has written more than a dozen novels, is impressed by this new volume, and other readers are naturally even worse. Some people are amazed by the grandeur of the battle scenes in the book, some people yearn for the subtlety and wonder of the two fighting methods, and some people sigh about the situation of the characters inside.

Anyway, in just two or three days, the content of the fourth volume of Fengshen has become a topic of conversation for everyone, whether you read the novel or not, you can hear many people discussing and appreciating the content of the book everywhere in Jiangcheng County.

Especially in the county school, many students almost have a copy, and once they are tired of reading books and writing, they will get together to discuss the content of the novel. Among them, the most active is of course Qi Qing, at this time he didn't even play chess, and he held Fengshen and a few classmates all day long to tell the highlights of the book, thinking about the story behind.

"You said that once Zhao Gongming died, how would his three sisters avenge him?"

"Why do you think that the Three Heavens Fairy will rebel against the way of heaven because of him? They were quite sober and self-reliant before, and they also knew that this was the way of heaven, and it was not something that a few of their juniors could reverse and block. ”

But it is vaguely mentioned several times in the book that the three fairies have a deep friendship with Zhao Gongming, and now that he has been killed, of course he wants revenge. Speaking of which, this Zhao Gongming is also a husband, but he was calculated by the land pressure, what a pity. ”

"If you want me to say that the most pity is still Wen Zhongwen Taishi. He was originally a pillar of the country and dedicated to the people, but because the king had no way, he was caught up on such a road of defeat. ”

"Speaking of which, this Xiaoyaozi is also angry, why do you write about them so vividly?"

"But I still like Nezha more than that, that lotus incarnation is really powerful, and many tricks specifically aimed at the soul don't work, and he's so interesting......"

"I like Yang Jian better, seventy-two changes are too amazing......"

"Thunder Zhenzi can fly into the sky to fight, but thunder is dazzling enough......"

"Actually, I think Daji is more lovely......"

This last sentence made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly freeze, and everyone showed a strange look on their faces.

……

Driven by such a popular trend, the sales of Li Ling's volume of "Romance of the Gods" are rising step by step, not only those who have bought the first three volumes before, but also those who have not bought them before, but also became interested in this book in these discussions, and deliberately went to the bookstore to buy a full set to read, that is, those who did not read novels much in the past, as long as they have enough money, they will also buy a few volumes to read, after all, the entertainment at this time is too scarce.

As a result, in less than seven or eight days after the book was released, the new volume of "Romance of the Gods" sold more than 1,000 copies, and the previous three volumes also sold more than 200 copies.

It can be said that when the fourth volume of Fengshen came out, the comparison between it and Fengxian has completely lost its meaning, it is completely a crushing victory, since the first five Fengshen came out, Fengxian has not been able to sell half of it, and all the books can now only be put on the shelves of various bookstores to eat ashes, in comparison, it is really pitiful.

The first round of confrontation between Gujia Bookstore and Wanjia Bookstore has already been decided!
