053 Volume III
The days at the beginning of the month are not only the days when Chi Fei takes stock of dividends, but also the days when the new book "Xianxia" is about to be released.
Because "Xianxia" is so popular, some readers are afraid that they will not be able to buy it if they go late, so they have gone to the nearby bookstore to tell him that they must leave a copy of the new book for him.
The shopkeepers of the bookstores did not dare to agree to all of them, otherwise they would not have to sell a single one. Only genuine regulars agree to keep books, others can only be served on a first-come, first-served basis.
In the anticipation of book fans, the third volume of "Xianxia" was finally officially released on the appointed date.
Because the first two volumes of "Xianxia" have already gained a large number of fans, the third volume was sold out in just one day as soon as it was released.
Many people who have jobs go to buy books after work, only to find that they are out of stock, and they immediately regret it, so they can only look for them in other bookstores.
Some bookstores that have long been sold out, the shopkeepers and guys inside were annoyed by those who came to find books, so they simply pasted a piece of paper at the door: The third volume of "Xianxia" has been sold out, and if there is a new product, it will be notified separately.
Sure enough, the whole world suddenly became much quieter.
People who couldn't buy books were disappointed and had to go around looking for someone to borrow them. Those who bought the book were like a treasure, and when they got home and hurriedly finished their meal, they couldn't wait to read it.
There is no nonsense at the beginning of the book, and it directly picks up on the last scene of the previous volume.
Ji Zheng's head was grabbed by the wizened hand, and he couldn't break free at all.
After grabbing Ji Zheng's head, the old man began to chant words from his mouth, and his whole body emitted a strange blue light.
At the same time, Ji Zheng felt that countless things were pouring into his head from that palm, making him feel painful.
He didn't know that this was the Great Devil's Soul Shifting Dafa that the Great Devil had cast on him.
This soul transfer Dafa is a secret technique in his master's sect, which can transplant his own primordial spirit to another person, so that he can be resurrected in that person's body.
However, the target of this evil spell must be young children, because young children are not yet mentally mature, relatively easy to control, and have little chance of success if they are adults.
There is also a disadvantage of this evil spell, that is, once the spell fails, the caster will be destroyed.
Even if the spell is cast on a young child, the success rate is only half. Therefore, unless forced to do so, the Great Devil will never take such a risk.
However, he had been locked up in this cave for hundreds of years, and the chances of escape were slim, and this was his last chance to give it a go.
Here, Chi Fei did not write out that the evil method that the big devil was going to perform was the Soul Transfer Dafa, but used it as a foreshadowing, so that readers could slowly know what was going on in the future.
Not only did he not write what kind of evil law it was, but even the identity of the big devil was revealed, and he only called him "old man".
Because he advances the story from Kimasa's point of view, so as to maintain a sense of mystery. It is convenient to gradually let readers understand the truth of the matter in the future plot.
Just when Ji Zheng felt that his headache was about to crack, the jade pendant he was wearing suddenly emitted a burst of red light, directly interrupting the process of casting the spell.
After the red light, the old man immediately let out a terrible scream, and then at the same time as he let go of Ji Zheng, the whole person died on the spot.
And Ji Zheng himself also fainted in a whirlwind.
When Ji happened to wake up easily, it was already noon the next day.
When he woke up, he was startled when he looked at the old man's body inside the iron cage. Without thinking much about it, he hurriedly stumbled away.
When he ran, he didn't even notice that he didn't get lost. As if he knew how to go, he ran out of the cave without any problems.
After coming out of the cave, he realized that the place he was in was the forbidden place that his brothers had warned him not to enter when he first entered.
After learning about this situation, he quickly figured out that he had been deceived by those ill-intentioned fellow disciples.
He knew very well that there would be severe penalties for entering the forbidden place, and he might even be expelled from the school, so he decided to pretend that he had never been here and quietly returned to his dormitory.
When he returned to his dormitory, it wasn't long before his brother came to him and asked him where he had been last night.
Ji Zheng didn't dare to tell the truth, so he had to lie that he got lost in the mountains last night, and only found his way back in the morning.
Because Ji Zheng is young and usually honest and serious, the senior brother who came to him naturally believed his words, and the matter passed like this.
The few disciples who wanted to frame him, seeing that he came back safe and sound, also thought that he was really lost in the mountain, so they didn't think much about it except for feeling pity.
When many readers saw this, they vaguely felt that things were not so simple, but they couldn't guess what happened to Ji Zheng, so they could only continue to look down.
Sure enough, some signs appeared.
As time passed, Ji Zheng found that there were many more pictures in his mind that he had never seen before.
One night, when Ji was about to practice as usual, a technique that he had never heard of or learned suddenly appeared in his mind, and this exercise gave him a strange feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Intrigued, he began to try to practice this peculiar exercise.
Here, Chi Fei added a description of the practice of specific exercises, but it changed the previous meek and peaceful practice method, and this time it became a practice method that was not only strange and complicated, but also implied risks.
This strange and complicated cultivation method is exactly the exercise used by the great devil of that evil sect.
It turned out that when the big devil cast the soul transfer Dafa, although Ji Zheng's jade pendant interrupted the spell and saved his life, most of the big devil's memories still entered Ji Zheng's body. That's why he knows how to get out of the cave, and he also knows how to cultivate the big devil.
But because these memories are forcibly instilled with evil methods, they are very unstable, sometimes they appear suddenly, and sometimes they can't remember them at all.
Here, Chi Fei borrowed from the Dafa of Cultivating Demons in "Turning Clouds and Rain".
These memories from the big devil and the evil sect exercises will not only make the protagonist Ji Zheng more and more powerful, but also gradually affect Ji Zheng's character over time.
Ji Zheng's adventure not only allowed him to stand out from many disciples and gave a convincing reason, but also laid a deep foreshadowing for the major turning point of the plot.
Next, the appearance of Su Xiaoxiao, the little sister in the next room, immediately lifted the spirits of many male readers.
This makes the always wonderful fantasy but hard-handed plot appear a beautiful scenery.
Sure enough, for most male readers, adventure is adventure, and girls are still very important.
Ji Zheng accidentally saved the little sister who was bitten by a snake by coincidence. This little junior sister is a closed disciple of another female uncle, and she happens to be the same year as Ji Zheng this year.
This little junior sister is very close to Ji Zheng because Ji Zheng saved her.
She is not only from a good background, but also good-looking, with an innocent personality, and especially likes to listen to Ji Zheng talk about his world.
Cute questions and oolong jokes pop up from time to time in between, which will make the reader laugh unconsciously.
She is the second person who treats Ji Zheng sincerely except for the bearded man.
Her appearance is like a warm current, warming the hearts of many readers.
Soon, Su Xiaoxiao, who is cute and cute, quickly captured the hearts of many male readers, and many people felt that such a girl was really good.
Immediately afterwards, the villain Leng Jianfeng appeared.
Compared with Ji Zheng, who is a middle-aged person, not only has a good background, but also has outstanding talents, Leng Jianfeng is simply the pride of the sky.
If you change to an author like a grass hall scholar who specializes in writing a male version of Mary Sue, such a person should be the protagonist.
However, after the foreshadowing of the first two volumes, readers have completely substituted themselves into Ji Zheng, and instinctively have an indescribable disgust for this kind of proud character. That's the power of subtlety.
When Leng Jianfeng showed strong hostility towards Ji Zheng because of his little sister Su Xiaoxiao's relationship, and made things difficult everywhere, the reader's disgust for this character increased rapidly.
