As soon as Chi Fei returned to his courtyard, he saw Jian Shuqi sitting in the living room like an uncle, pouring himself a drink.

Of course, he didn't drink wine, but tea.

As soon as he saw Chi Fei, he immediately complained, "Where did you go?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Not long after Chi Fei sat down on the chair opposite Jian Shuqi, Zhang Xiao'e took his special teacup and put it in front of him and poured him tea.

"Eat here at noon?" Chi Fei asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Nonsense, I didn't stay for dinner when I came."

"It's the first time I've seen someone else's house so justifiable.

Xiao'e, add vegetables at noon, cook more dishes for Jian Juren that he likes to eat, and celebrate his old man's release from prison after completing his sentence. ”

"Yes, master." Zhang Xiao'e walked away with a grin.

"You have just been released from prison after completing your sentence, and I am calling it a full school release. After a month in the house, I was almost suffocating. Jian Shuqi looked like he had just been released.

"Haven't you already been admitted to the lifting of people? I've never seen you study so hard before, and you've always been wandering around twice for three days.

I thought that a person like you would definitely not be able to pass the exam, but I didn't expect you to be admitted. ”

"Tsk, it's just a test, it's nothing for a talent like me."

"Just blow it, it's so easy that you won't be in retreat. Why, dissatisfied with the ranking, unwilling? ”

"What nonsense, I'm called a hundred-foot pole head, go further, how can you be so stingy as you say." Jian Shuqi glared at him with some annoyance.

Looking at his stiff performance of a dead duck, Chi Fei knew that he had guessed correctly.

Don't look at Jian Shuqi, this person usually seems to be indifferent, but Chi Fei has long seen that this guy is actually very arrogant in his heart.

He is very confident in his talent and intelligence, and he feels that it is not difficult at all to take the test or anything.

So I usually don't study hard like other scholars, but I go out to visit friends and hang out for three days, and I don't look like a scholar who wants to work hard for the imperial examination.

After this township test, he really made the list and became a new imperial examiner in the capital area.

This is simply a miracle for people from noble families.

While his mother and sister were happy with him, he himself was dissatisfied.

He felt that his ranking was too low, and he was only one place away from being at the bottom.

Although he hadn't told anyone, he probably felt in his heart that with his own talents, even if he couldn't get a solution, there should be no problem in ranking in the top five.

However, it turned out to be a bit of a slap in the face, and he came in second to last.

This result has dealt a lot of blows to Jian Shuqi, who has always been confident in himself.

Especially after reading the test papers of other lifters, especially the top five lifters, including Xie Yuan, he had to admit that others did better than him. Especially that Xie Yuan, in terms of strategy, he simply dumped him nine streets.

Although Jian Shuqi is arrogant in his heart, he is not a person who can't afford to lose, and he admits that he does have a big gap compared with that Xie Yuan.

This is still a local lifter in the capital, and if he participates in the exam, then his competitors will be many lifters from all over the country.

Da Wei only takes about a hundred people for each test, not to mention much, if one-tenth of those people have the level of this capital Xie Yuan, then he will not want to be admitted to the Jinshi.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, being able to be admitted to the Juren is enough to glorify the ancestors.

But how can he be such an easily satisfied person in Jian Shuqi, his goal is to officially become an official as a two-rank jinshi.

Therefore, even if he succeeded in being admitted to the lifting of people, he did not feel too happy. He knew that it was a delusion to be admitted to the Jinshi at his current level.

Therefore, he decided to give up this year's entrance examination, and planned to spend three years studying hard, and then take the next examination after studying well.

For this reason, he did not move back to his home, Anshun Hou's Mansion, but rented another courtyard house very close to Chi Fei's house, and then began to retreat and study hard.

These two days are the days when he comes out to let off steam.

And the first thing he did when he came out was to go to Juyazhai to buy the last volume of "Xianxia".

Ju Yazhai's golden shopkeeper is really a believer, although he was more than half a month late, but the golden shopkeeper still left him a copy, which made him very moved.

You must know that this last volume is too difficult to buy now, and the scalpers are all hyped.

Because after more than a year, the "Xianxia" series has not only become popular all over the capital, but also in many provinces in the north and south of the country.

Many foreign booksellers came to the capital to order, and Juyazhai had originally entrusted two time-honored bookstores to help print, but due to too many orders, two more bookstores could only be added.

However, even if the five bookstores are printed together, the supply is still in short supply, and orders from other places are still flying.

After all, the Jiangnan area is much larger than the capital, and there are more literate people, so there is such a situation where supply exceeds demand.

Especially in the last volume of the finale, even though Juyazhai has given priority to local booksellers in the capital, it is still in short supply, and it was sold out as soon as it was listed, and it was sold out many times.

Now the scalpers are so happy that they have speculated the price higher and higher, and they have all made a profit.

On the day when the last volume was just released, Jian Shuqi himself endured it for a long time before he went out to buy it.

He didn't want to affect his determination to study in retreat, so he endured it and didn't buy it, but continued to stay in his room and study.

This insistence touched even him.

After a month of studying in retreat in the house, he took advantage of the two days he had been out to buy books.

Fortunately, the golden shopkeeper of Juyazhai left him a copy, otherwise he would have cried to death.

While drinking tea, Jian Shuqi couldn't help but look at him a few times, as if he knew him on the first day.

Chi Fei felt that his eyes were a little strange, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?" After a month of retreat, you don't even know anyone? ”

"It's nothing, I just want to see if your head doesn't look like anyone else."

", your head is different. Others are round, you are square. ”

Jian Shuqi didn't speak, but his expression looked a little strange.

Maybe I haven't seen him for a month, but when Jian Shuqi looked at Chi Fei again, there was a subtle sense of familiarity and strangeness.

Especially after reading the last volume of "Xianxia", he feels that this guy doesn't look like a person who can write that kind of fantasy masterpiece.

Because many of the whimsical ideas in the book are too much beyond his imagination.

Jian Shuqi has liked to read books since he was a child, and if he is so old, he has read at least thousands of books, if not more than 10,000.

It may be that he has read too many books, and for many new books, he can guess the following plot when he reads the beginning of time.

If you write better, you can roughly guess what kind of bridge will appear next when you see about a third.

He even tried to write a script himself, and at that time he wrote about 60,000 or 70,000 words. Later, because I was too busy with my homework, I threw it aside and couldn't do it.

However, when watching "Xianxia", he couldn't guess the plot of the next volume at all.

The plot of this film can be described as whimsical and antelope.

The plot and development of each volume gives people a sense of brightness and refreshment.

The first eight volumes are already fascinating enough, with a new world view, magical settings, complex character relationships, and undulating plots, which are enough to make this book a rare masterpiece.

When Jian Shuqi saw the eighth volume, he felt that he could roughly guess the next plot.

He guessed that Ji Zheng would try his best to take revenge next, and might come up with all kinds of ways to sow discord and discredit Kunlun Mountain, or simply lead a large group of like-minded friends to kill Kunlun Mountain directly.

Of course, the Kunlun Mountain side is not a soft persimmon, and it will definitely retaliate. Then the whole martial arts were in a mess, and in the end, Ji Zheng won the victory and successfully took revenge for the end.

However, the next few volumes slapped him in the face.

None of the situations he expected came to pass, and Chi Fei did not focus on personal grievances in the story, but described the entire Xiuzhen world from a higher perspective.

Especially from the beginning of the Demon Invasion chapter, all of a sudden, the small pattern of grievances in the rivers and lakes instantly rose to the height of the survival of the race.

In this human-demon war, which is a matter of survival for the race, anyone's grievances and gains and losses have become insignificant.

Whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, they are all working hard to survive.

What is the big pattern, this is called the big pattern.

Starting from the invasion of the demons, the plot of the whole story can be described as twists and turns, which makes people feel excited and unable to calm down for a long time.

However, this is not enough, when Ji Zheng unexpectedly came to that mysterious space, after learning the "shocking secret" of the big devil Ruan Wuxin, the plot once again had an explosive climax.

Especially after readers learned the true effect of the "Zhuxian Great Array", everyone couldn't help but be shocked by this magical setting.

It turned out that in the past thousands of years, the reason why no one and no demon in the cultivation world have become immortals is because of a shocking trap created by the two clans of gods and demons.

This idea is so wonderful and shocking that even Jian Shuqi, who has read countless books, was shocked by this idea.

In addition, the fact that the space in which the "Zhuxian Great Array" is placed is completely different from the time flow of the outside world is also very attractive.

It fully proves the legendary saying that "one day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world".

And all these wonderful ideas were thought up and written by my friend alone.

For his friend who is the author of "Xianxia" himself, Jian Shuqi sometimes feels a little incredible when he thinks about it.

In the last part, Ji Zheng, who had already become an immortal, not only wiped out hundreds of thousands of demon armies with a blunt sword in his hand, but also swept the domineering scene of the seven top masters with one sword, which made people's blood run wild and their cold hairs stood on end.

The feeling of crushing the crowd and being invincible in the world almost makes people reach an orgasm in an instant.

It's cool, it's so cool. This was the thought shared by all readers at the time.

Jian Shuqi was no exception, he saw that his scalp was numb and excited at that time, and he couldn't help but come to Chi Fei to discuss it with him, but this guy didn't come back after going out for most of the day, which made him very depressed.

If the first eight volumes make this book a rare masterpiece, then the last eight volumes are enough to make this book a masterpiece that is difficult to surpass.

This is not only the idea of Jian Shuqi alone, but also the idea of many readers.

In addition, because the last volume ended too quickly, there was a feeling of unfinished.

Therefore, all readers are eagerly waiting for the "side story" mentioned by Chi Fei to be listed, in order to make up for the sense of loss.

After the two chatted for a while, Jian Shuqi remembered his other purpose for coming here, and immediately asked, "Hey, have you written the side story you said at the end of the book?"

You've promised readers that you'll be released next month, so don't let the pigeons go. ”

"You still need to say that it has been written a long time ago. I went out this morning just to hand over the manuscript to the treasurer. ”

"That's good, that's good. Then again, what's the side story? Is it a sequel to Xianxia? ”

"It's not a sequel, it's just an explanation of the other characters and things in the book, which is considered a concluding one. Anyway, you'll know when you see it next month, and it's hard to explain for a while. ”

"Tsk, mysterious, I'll see what you can write then.

By the way, when I went to the bookstore today, I found that there were several books of the same genre as "Xianxia" for sale.

I flipped through it, and the setting and world view in it are all very similar to "Xianxia", which is exactly the same. Do you know about it? ”

"Of course I do. What's so surprising about this, once a new genre becomes popular, there will definitely be imitators.

Just like the first book of words about talented and beautiful women became popular, there will be more and more authors who write this kind of book, which is normal. ”

"Don't you feel angry? Those people are blatantly using your stuff. ”

"There's nothing to be angry about. The more they do this, the more it shows the success of "Xianxia", otherwise how could there be so many followers.

I dare to be cheeky to say that I have created a new genre of scripture in this era, and the name is 'Xianxia Class' or 'Xianxia Stream'.

I wonder if hundreds of years later, my "Xianxia" will continue to circulate, and it may be easier than you, an official, to be famous for a hundred years. ”

Looking at his friend's smug face, Jian Shuqi couldn't help but be angry and funny.

Scholars are most disgusted by others stealing what they have worked so hard to write as each other's works, this guy is good, not only not angry but proud, I really don't know what this guy thinks.

But one thing he was right was that he did create a whole new genre of scripts.

In the future, all authors who write Xianxia scripts will not be able to bypass the ancestor work of "Xianxia".

In fact, this is also where Chi Fei's ambition to write "Xianxia" lies.

He simply and rudely named it "Xianxia", just to make this new genre named after him and let everyone remember his name.

If Jian Shuqi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely jump up and scold him for being shameless, too shameless.

Chi Fei doesn't care about these, he has now even finished writing the side story of "Xianxia", it can be said that he has nothing to do, and he feels more relaxed than ever.

In the past two years, he first wrote "Liang Zhu", and then "Xianxia" with more than 2 million words, and he dared not stop rushing to the manuscript almost every day.

I've been busy for more than two years, and I'm really tired.

He's ready to take a good break and then slowly think of something new.

In the meantime, he plans to take a look at the market to see if his idea is likely to come true.
