Chapter 60: New Books Sell

Su Mu, Biluo, and Wang Yangming all looked at him strangely, not knowing why he said this, and whispered to Wendao: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the residence first." ”

At that moment, the three of them helped Wang Yangming to slowly return to the dormitory, made tea for Chao Wendao, invited a few people to sit down, and said slowly: "There is a secret on the little junior brother, the dean once told me about it, and asked me to keep it secret, it's good to tell you today." ”

When Wang Yangming heard this, he thought that the senior brother was going to tell Biluo and Su Mu about the lack of meridians in his body, but after thinking about it, it seemed that the matter that the senior brother said didn't even know about himself, and it didn't seem to be a matter of meridians.

Sure enough, I heard the court and said, "Do you remember that half a month ago, there was a black-clothed assassin on Chang'an Street?"

Although half a month has passed since this incident, Wang Yangming fought with one of them several times at that time, and was once in a situation of life and death, and Biluo was injured and almost died because of this, and the two naturally remembered it deeply.

"Later, I asked the Dean privately for advice, and he said that the Assassins were supposed to be the subordinates of the Hundred Poison Gate. ”

Biluo and Wang Yangming didn't know what the origin of the Hundred Poison Gate was, but Su Mu was shocked when he heard it: "Hundred Poison Gate, why did they suddenly appear in the Central Plains?"

It turns out that this Hundred Poisons Sect is one of the 100,000 mountains in the southwest, and it has never been hidden in the mountains, and people from the outside world do not know how many people there are in this sect, what kind of strength they have, they only know that they study the toxicity of drugs, walk the world with poisons and poison skills, and do some unrighteous things. Because of the bad reputation, worried about the outside world strangulation, so there are few people born in the 100,000 mountains, this time I actually came to Chang'an to walk, and also arranged an assassination, I have to say that it is an outlier.

Chao Wendao explained: "What the dean means, this Hundred Poisons Sect came to the Central Plains this time, and even their sect masters came, for the sake of the little junior brother and Biluo. ”

"What?" Su Mu was even more surprised: "Even the Hundred Poison Sect Master, who has never set foot in the Central Plains, came in person?"

Chao Wendao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. The master of the Hundred Poison Sect has been injured by the Dean of San, and it must be difficult to recover within three years, and he will not serve in the Central Plains again. "It turned out that on the evening of that day, San Yisheng roared a lion, and the man in black who was injured ten miles away was the master of the Hundred Poison Gate.

Chao Wendao continued: "The reason why the Hundred Poison Gate is eyeing the two of you is because Biluo has a Muni Bead on his body, which is a magic weapon that can avoid a hundred poisons, and it is his Hundred Poison Gate nemesis, so they want to snatch this bead so as not to fall into the hands of others." As for their targeting of the little junior brother, it is because the little junior brother, you are born with an invincible body, and they want to arrest you and go back to study. ”

Poison is not invasive?

Wang Yangming was confused, not knowing why he was a freak who was invincible.

In fact, all kinds of poisons in this world, although they have different medicinal properties, in the final analysis, they are aimed at people's meridians. Toxicity invades the internal organs of the body through the meridians, destroying various physiological functions of people, and people are weakened or die as a result, and the first channel is the meridians.

Wang Yangming has no meridians in his body, and toxins cannot enter his door, so he has created an anomaly that is invulnerable to poison. It's just that there is no meridian matter, and San Yisheng explained that Chaowen Dao can't let anyone know, so he can't explain it, so he has to say that this hundred poisons are not invaded by the little junior brother's natural blessing, and there is no reason to talk about it.

When everyone heard this, they understood why the Hundred Poison Gate arranged that assassination half a month ago. Of course, under the strong action of San Yisheng, the plan of the Hundred Poison Gate fell through, and he ended up losing his wife and losing his soldiers.

Su Mu suddenly realized and said, "In this way, the soldier food pill is harmful to the body of ordinary people, but it is no harm to the junior brother?"

Chao Wendao nodded and said, "That's exactly the truth." It's just that the little junior brother's body is special, after all, it's not easy to say it publicly, otherwise those poisonous sects on the rivers and lakes will target the little junior brother, and it will be difficult to clean it up at that time. ”

Biluo and Su Mu hurriedly responded, promising that they would definitely speak in a strict manner. Wang Yangming didn't have any worries, so he ate a soldier food pill, this thing chewed crunchy, there was no taste, it was not delicious at all, but it was strange to say, after eating it, he was really full of energy, and the previous weakness was swept away, and he was really resurrected with full blood.

Su Mu took another sixty military food pills and handed them over, this thing is not very precious, she has a stock of one hundred by her side, and there are many at home.

But he still advised, although he is not poisonous, after all, this thing is an emergency thing, it is better not to eat it for a long time, these sixty pieces are only for special training, and after two months of special training is completed, it is better not to eat it again. ”

Wang Yangming nodded in agreement. Su Mu saw that there was nothing to do with her here, so she said goodbye and left. Biluo was reluctant to leave and wanted to accompany Wang Yangming. Chao Wendao smiled slightly, went out on his own, and said that he was going to find the Great Sect Xi Guanglingzi to ask for cultivation.

Not long after Chaowendao left, someone knocked on the door, but it was Cao Zhan who ran out of breath.

Wang Yangming said curiously: "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you yesterday that I have to conduct special training in the past two months, and I don't have time to write "Journey to the West"?"

Cao Zhan didn't catch his breath, stumbled into the house, and didn't have time to pay attention to Biluo, first grabbed the teapot on the table, drank a pot of herbal tea to the mouth cow, and then patted his chest and said, "Sir, I trotted all the way from the bookstore." ”

The bookstore is five or six miles away from here, why is he in such a hurry, and he is so anxious.

Isn't it...... His novel was banned by the government?

But I heard Cao Zhan say, "Sir...... Sir, that book is a big seller!"

It turned out that Cao Zhan passed by Xinhua Bookstore during the day, and saw a lot of people crowded at the door, and there was a long queue with no end in sight, he was curious, so he stepped forward and asked one of the students he knew, "What's the matter?"

The student saw that it was him, and said with a smile: "Cao Gong is so well-informed, recently there are rumors in the market, saying that there is a strange book issued in Xinhua Book Company, called "Journey to the West", after several talented people in Beijing read it, they all praised this book for the gist of writing, it is a strange book that has never been seen in ancient times, so all the people in Beijing came here to buy a copy. In front of me, everyone came to line up to buy books. ”

"Journey to the West?!"

The student nodded again and again: "I heard rumors that the person who wrote the book built a bizarre mythical world empty-handed, and wrote the gods and Buddhas of the heavens as ordinary people, and the protagonist of it is a stone monkey produced by heaven and earth. This story is enjoyable to listen to!"

Only then did Cao Zhan confirm that the "Journey to the West" that this person was talking about was the book that Mr. Thirteen Wang Yangming had asked him to copy and publish by hand, and hurriedly asked: "In previous years, there were best-selling books in Beijing, and there was no such busy situation. Even if "Liangjing Miscellaneous" was released for the first time, it did not have such a grandeur. Why are so many people coming to buy today?"

The student said: "Cao Gong doesn't know, in previous years, if there were good books, people in Beijing were easy to circulate, and a book was passed on to ten or hundreds of people to read, but there were not so many people who bought them." But this time, this book, I heard that everyone felt very enjoyable after reading it, and I couldn't put it down and wanted to reread it a second time, and only the first single book was released at present, only ten times, I heard that the second book was released a month later, and everyone cherished it, and thought that if the second book was issued, they were bound to continue to read it according to the plot of the first book, for fear that the first book would still be in the hands of others, and they forgot the previous plot, so the readers said that this book was not borrowed, and whoever wanted to see it went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy it, so people who wanted to read books couldn't, so they had to come to this Xinhua Bookstore to queue up to buy books。 ”

Cao Zhan asked about the situation, ran into the bookstore again, and the big shopkeeper gave him a happy hand: "Mr. Yang Ming, since the book was published a few days ago, more than 1,000 copies have been sold in less than ten days. I've been in this business for half my life, and I've never seen such a best-selling book. It's remarkable. ”

Cao Zhan no longer had any doubts, and once again solemnly explained that the shopkeeper must not reveal the author's real name, only saying that it was written by a scholar named Wu Chengen, who was not in Chang'an at the moment, and did not know where to travel.

The big shopkeeper agreed to the promise, and Cao Zhan trotted all the way to report to Wang Yangming.

After Wang Yangming heard what he said, he laughed, he knew that this book was going to sell well, and he didn't want to sell so well.

The sixty times in front of me are enough to produce six single books. He told Cao Zhan to explain to the shopkeeper that he wanted to whet the appetite of the readers, not to release all six books in one go, but to release one to quench their hunger and thirst when everyone was waiting for them, and not to feed them at one time. The big shopkeeper is a master of this way, and he must not need to teach him.

Cao Zhan responded, but took out ten ingots of silver from his baggage, each ingot was ten taels heavy, put it on the table and said: "This is the share given to Mr. by the bookstore according to the sales of these days, a total of one hundred taels." In the future, I will give Mr. a share once a month according to the sales volume, and please take it away. ”
