Chapter 384: The Novelist's Crisis
In this way, under the witness of the refining master Xiao Ye, Lin Hu and Li Wenhan made a bet.
Although Lin Hu knew that Li Wenhan had made a special trip to challenge him, he must have something to rely on, but for him, who had already made up his mind, he was simply fearless.
The two discussed, and the next novel was the object of the competition, as for how to determine the winner, this does not have to worry about Lin Hu, no matter what, novelists are a genre with millions of years of history, and there is already a set of internal methods for evaluating victory and defeat.
This competition came very abruptly, and after Li Wenhan said goodbye, Lin Hudang invited Xiao Ye's master and apprentice to enter, of course, he did not take the two to the previous messy house, but chose another study.
"Master, why didn't you stop them just now?"
As soon as she entered Lin Hu's house, Aunt Bell Xiaodao, who was in a panic just now, immediately looked at her master with dissatisfaction.
Although she is very confident in Lin Hu, Li Wenhan is not good at coming after all, and the other party is an old man who has been famous for a long time, so she is afraid that Lin Hu is not an opponent.
In case Lin Hu loses, then he will have to seal the pen for five hundred years, five hundred years, what kind of concept is that, she is really hard to imagine when she is still young.
Who knows, after listening to her words, Xiao Ye smiled bitterly and did not speak.
Today he came to the wrong place, he actually encountered this kind of thing, although he Xiao Ye is not small and his status is not low, but this kind of battle between the two families is really not something he should interfere in.
"Bell, needless to say, I know it in my heart, don't you still believe in my strength?"
was interrupted by Lin Hu to complain, Bell did not have any dissatisfaction, but thought of the books "A Chinese Ghost Story" that she had been cherishing, she was an authentic book fan of Lin Hu, and naturally believed in the strength of the idol, and finally nodded heavily.
Although he was persuaded by Lin Hu, the bell still didn't give Xiao Ye a good face: "Hmph." Then can't you help say a few words, just watch him show off his power to Brother Lin?"
"Hehe, it's really a big girl."
Being so pressed by his own precious apprentice, the refining master, who has always been known for his strength, had to sigh helplessly.
"If it's something else, I'm naturally not scared of Li Wenhan. However, I had to watch from the sidelines. ”
"Oh, Master Xiao, is there anything unspeakable about this matter?"
Xiao Ye didn't want to say much, but he looked at the gaze cast by Lin Hu and his baby apprentice. In the end, I still tell what I know.
"Do you really think that Li Wenhan just wants to make a bet with Lin Xiaozi?"
After a pause, Xiao Ye sorted out his language, and then said: "A hundred schools of thought contend, a hundred flowers bloom, tolerance and progress, and the interpretation of the glorious and prosperous era sounds very good, but there are a lot of swords and swords involved in this." ”
Listening to the old-timers, Lin Hu also came to the spirit. Make a picture of listening.
"The sons of the hundred schools, known as the hundred schools, in fact, at the beginning of the rise of the hundred schools, there are thousands of various schools, however, after thousands of years of refinement, so far the real spread of the wider influence is more famous than dozens of schools, the rest are either broken inheritance, or hidden, and not known to the world. Do you know why?"
"Why?" the bell asked, naturally, in a curious baby's voice.
"There are hundreds of schools, and a school can be regarded as a great avenue, although not every family has characters such as Taoist ancestors, Confucian saints, etc., but most of them have their own uniqueness. Among them, there are anachronistic genres, of course, but many more have been merged. ”
"Annexed?"
Hearing this, Lin Hu couldn't help but be surprised, what Xiao Ye said naturally would not appear in the Confucian subset of scriptures and histories, so he didn't know very well.
"For example. In the early Middle Ages, one of the hundred families followed the path of history and was called a historian, but now, have you ever heard of the title of historian in one hundred families?"
"You mean?" Lin Hu seemed to suddenly realize.
"That's right, the historian was annexed by Confucianism, since the historian's pen was mastered by Confucianism, it can be said that there is no real historian in the world, you know, the term Spring and Autumn penmanship is not from the hands of historians. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Ye's words carried an inexplicable irony, of course Lin Hu knew what it meant, and he didn't refute anything.
Of course, the disappearance of historians is also related to their own style of acting, blindly preferring to take the straight from the middle, resulting in being hated by almost all those in power, but among Confucianism, there are still people who have inherited the true way of history. ”
"Confucianism has been able to develop to the point where it is today, but it is not a matter of conformism, and the concerns of novelists are related to this, who knows if their novelists will not become the next historians?"
"After all, you are also a Confucian disciple, and you can also write novels well, so why don't other Confucian disciples be allowed to find out? ”
Hearing this, Lin Hu finally knew why novelists couldn't sit still, how vast the scale of Confucianism was, not much, as long as one percent, no, or even one thousandth of Confucian disciples had nothing to write novels, novelists would decline.
"Hey, isn't that a good thing, if there are many people who write novels, won't novelists grow?"
"Little girl, how can it be so simple, the first one, there are so many readers, and if Confucianism intervenes again, the novelist will be able to get a lot less. ”
Lin Hu nodded, and agreed with Xiao Ye's words, if you regard readers as a market, novelists have monopolized the market for so many years, and no one wants others to intervene, after all, the cake is so big, and if others share more, they will share less.
It is said that there are many unknown things involved, and if Confucianism can swallow up the novelists, Confucianism's luck will be unprecedentedly high, and it may be able to overpower Buddhism, and even reach the point of competing with Taoism. ”
"At that time, when Confucianism has the power of the novelist's conviction, it may be able to change its name to Confucianism."
"That'...... What about novelists?" Bell thought it was incredible when he heard these things for the first time.
"As for the novelists, well, I've never heard of a genre that has been annexed and has re-emerged. ”
Hearing this, Lin Hu finally couldn't help it, don't look at what Xiao Ye said, I'm afraid that what is involved in this is so cruel.
Why can't it rise again? This is more aimed at all the novelists in the world at that time, and it seems that he has really become a thorn in the side of many novelists. To be continued
