Chapter 12: Who Knows?
That Liao Gu took the manuscript of the twilight rain and ten cold in his hand, but he frowned slightly, because this manuscript is not high, there are only more than 20 pieces of paper, and it is estimated that it will be less than 10,000 words at most, but after thinking about it, maybe this person has another manuscript, so he will continue to read it.
And in the heart of Twilight Rain and Ten Cold, he was naturally very nervous, even if it was only a manuscript of less than 10,000 words, it was only done by Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was busy until almost dawn. Xianyang City is the closest city to the Dongman Sect, and whether or not you can earn your first pot of gold here can be said to be an important step in whether the Dongman Sect can continue to develop.
Although there are also a lot of books selling books in Xianyang City, Duyu Shihan still directly set his sights on the largest Ninghua study, whether it is from the perspective of propaganda or from the long-term direction, if the senior sister's novel can gain a firm foothold here, then it is definitely only a matter of time before it becomes famous in this industry.
Liao Gu slowly flipped through the manuscript, but the expression on his face was as calm as the windless water, it stands to reason that the manuscript of less than 10,000 words, for Liao Gu, who has been in the book industry for decades, should only be able to read it in a cup of tea, but after a while, Liao Gu put down the manuscript and said lightly:
"Twilight Rain...... Is this a novel?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the twilight rain and ten cold, but even Si Zhao Nanming, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but be surprised.
In this way, for any author, it is tantamount to the greatest mockery.
Dusk Yu said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper Liao, what are you talking about...... What does that mean?"
"Liao was still looking forward to the manuscript of the head of Dui Yu...... "Shopkeeper Liao suddenly smiled: "However, Master Dui Yu, these things, let alone sell well, I'm afraid that if they are printed, no one will even want to give them away for free." ”
After all, Liao Gu is a businessman, and it is unprofitable to see it at this time, and Twilight Rain Shihan is just a small head of the sect that does not enter the stream, and he is naturally too lazy to continue to be polite at this time, he has watched thousands of novels in his life, even he himself has personally caught a pen, and the manuscript given to him by the head of Twilight Rain is very different from all the novels he has seen, no, this is not even a novel, a large number of characters are described in their hearts, in his opinion, it is completely a "running account" throughout.
What's even more unbearable is that the protagonist named "Yang Guo" is obviously just a cunning and scoundrel little beggar, which is far from the image of the protagonist in previous Xianxia novels.
In Liao Gu's mind, the protagonist's childhood is generally just a brushstroke, and the general protagonist's life experience, naturally the more bitter and bitter the better, he has read so many novels, if the protagonist's parents are not the heroes of the world, they must also be characters with heads and faces, as for Yang Guo in the manuscript of this book, his father is a big villain, how can such a guy be the protagonist of Xianxia novels?
"Shopkeeper Liao, did you say this too early?" Dusk Yu Shihan heard the change in his attitude from Liao Gu's tone, so he retorted: "I thought that Shopkeeper Liao could read books with a discerning eye, but I didn't expect that he was also a person who was not good at eating the ancient and short-sighted. ”
"Oh?" Liao Gu heard this, but he didn't have the slightest anger, he just casually raised the manuscript, and dozens of manuscripts full of handwriting immediately swung between the two, and they spilled to the ground in a moment: "That's right, Liao is just a businessman, and if you see profit, these things are not manuscripts that can make money, just garbage full of words." ”
Seeing that Shiyu of Xiagaoka had worked hard to write a manuscript all night, and was actually thrown on the ground by Liao Gu as garbage, a nameless anger immediately rose in Twilight Rain's heart, and he reached out to grab Liao Gu's collar, wanting to teach him a lesson.
Who knew that he had just stretched out his hand, but he grabbed his wrist directly than Liao Gu, and saw that the shopkeeper Liao, who looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, gently broke it with his hand, but heard a bone sound of "Kala". Twilight Rain Shihan immediately felt a sharp pain, gasped, wanted to stop but it was too late, was turned over by Liao Gu's oblique hand, and actually fell directly to the ground.
Even if you are not a professional cultivator, as long as you have the conditions, or invite famous teachers, or come to ask for advice, you will practice some exercises, which can not only strengthen your body, but also prolong your life. Liao Gu relied on running the Ninghua study, and his family property naturally had a lot of property, so he had been cultivating, and he was already at the level of the fourth stage of the Yellow Order.
It stands to reason that Liao Gu is not a professional cultivator, if he fights with real guns and swords, he may not be the opponent of Twilight Rain Ten Han, but Twilight Rain Ten Han only used the "Spell Blood Summoning Spirit Jue" yesterday, and his true qi has not recovered more than twenty percent at this time, and he suddenly started at this time, naturally he was a little caught off guard, and the head of a generation of sects was actually knocked to the ground by a book-selling businessman.
Even Liao Gu himself didn't expect that he would easily throw the current head of the Dongman Sect to the ground. Originally, he was still a little jealous of the identity of the "head" of Twilight Rain Shihan, but now that this head is so vulnerable, he can't help but sneer: "It seems that the kung fu of Twilight Rain is still quite far from Ling Zun. As for this Fu Zi matter, Liao Mou advised the head of Duyu to put his mind away early, it is better to change out of Tsing Yi as soon as possible and cultivate two acres of thin fields on Dongman Mountain, but he will not starve to death. ”
The twilight rain Shihan lying on the ground didn't say a word, although the Dongman Sect was just a small sect that did not enter the stream, but how could he have suffered such a huge humiliation, the manuscript of the novel was treated as garbage and worthless, and if he wanted to do it, he actually lost it in the hands of a weak businessman. At this time, he was like a lost dog, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his head.
Liao Gu's laughter, like a sharp sword, continued to sting the soul of the twilight rain and ten colds, all the beautiful dreams of yesterday had turned into a bubble at this time, he didn't dare to think about the Xiazhiqiu Shiyu and Li Yunnong who were still waiting for him in the Dongman Sect, he didn't know how to face them.
In a trance, Twilight Rain Shihan only saw a pair of hands appear in front of him, carefully picking up the manuscripts all over the ground.
"Your Manuscript ......"
Si Zhao Nanming neatly packed up the manuscript in his hand and handed it over to Duyu Shihan's hand.
Twilight Yu Shihan didn't speak, just took the manuscript blankly, but when it was in his right hand, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist, so he changed his hand and caught it.
Looking at the figure of Twilight Rain and Ten Han staggering away, Liao Gu sneered: "Master Si Zhao, this kind of mud that can't support the wall, why do you bend your knees to help?"
Si Zhao Nanming just glanced at Liao Gu and said indifferently: "Who knows?"
