I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 118 Miscellaneous talk about sales
Since ancient times, a gentleman has added a crown to the word, which means adulthood. This standard has been alienated in terms of strength and realm in the Wen Dynasty.

The choice of characters is mostly decided by the elders, and now that Song Mu and Tao Fengming have performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, all of this is naturally logical.

The name Jingzhao has a very good meaning, and it has a very good connection with Song Mu's name and background. Song Mu is also extremely happy about this.

And at this moment, the relationship with the master is a little closer.

But because Fan Tixue found Tao Fengming first, now it seemed that he still had something to say, so Song Mu also tactfully resigned immediately.

Originally, Song Mu was going to ask a few questions about mind power, but now he can only wait for a later time.

Back at the main entrance, Kong Zong and the others hadn't left yet, and when they saw Song Mu coming over, they all bowed their hands one by one.

When Song Mu saw several people, he immediately explained with a smile.

"I just chatted with Mr. Tixue and Mr. Fengming for a while, and Mr. Fengming took the words for me."

"Oh?"

Kong Zong and Zhang Yiqi's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they looked over immediately.

"Brother Song, don't you know what word you chose?"

Zhang Yiqi asked, and Song Mu said the words truthfully, and they all nodded.

"Sure enough, it's a good meaning. After today, I will call Brother Song Jingzhao."

Kong Zong said with a smile at the side at this time, and several people also exchanged their own characters. Kong Zong was named Zuhai by his father, and Zhang Yiqi was named Hemei by the village chief.

Several people shared their joy, but at this time Zhang Yiqi suddenly noticed a detail, and said to Song Mu immediately.

"Brother Song, you just said that Mr. Fengming gave you the name?"

"Since he can name you, does that mean?"

After Zhang Yiqi said this, a clear expression immediately appeared on his face, Song Mu naturally nodded silently, only Kong Zong next to him was confused.

And Zhang Yiqi also explained the meaning to the other party.

"That is to say, Brother Song, you have already become Mr. Fengming as your teacher?"

Kong Zong said, his expression looked a little surprised at the moment, he just found out who this Mr. Feng Ming was at that time, but he didn't expect such a Jinshi Disciplinary Officer to accept Song Mu as his disciple.

Song Mu naturally opened his mouth to explain.

"By chance, I got to know Mr. Fengming. I fell in love with him, and he accepted me as his disciple."

When Song Mu said these words at the moment, he felt somewhat emotional in his heart. After all, since the day he accepted himself as a disciple, Mr. Fengming has existed like an elder in his family.

Kong Zong and Zhang Yiqi, who heard this, were naturally envious at the moment, thinking that Song Mu really has some skills and can be favored everywhere, and they even teased Song Mu to introduce themselves to Mr. Fengming.

The three talked happily for a while, and at the invitation of Song Mu, they went out of the government school together, and found a teahouse on the street to celebrate.

During the dinner, everyone also chatted about the current situation of the government school.

"I have been in Fucheng all the time, and I also heard from some seniors that recently the Fuxue will organize forty scholars and ten recruits to conduct a large-scale hunting trip, but it seems that it is not on the Jiangnan West Road, but going to the south. go."

"South? Isn't that going to hunt in the barbarian territory?"

Kong Zong took a bite of the dish, and said to Zhang Yiqi curiously.

Zhang Yiqi naturally nodded, and then explained again.

"It seems that because we won a big victory in the war in the west, the demon clan felt that they had lost face and lost a bit of momentum. The demon clan of the East Sea contacted the monster clan of the South Sea to prepare to consolidate their alliance of monsters and barbarians on the southern land."

"According to the news on the surface, a large number of people have moved out there, and it seems that there is going to be a big battle."

It was also the first time for Song Mu to hear this news. In the past month, he had a prosperous life and missed a lot of news.

Although the world is stable now, the human race is powerful and capable of resisting the monsters and savages, but in recent years, it may be recuperating, and the situation in the world has begun to be turbulent.

"But when it comes to this, we also have to worry about the hunting in two months, and we have to set off at that time."

"In the twelfth lunar month of winter, it may not be easy."

Kong Zong said again, and the three of them nodded. This is the rule in the school. When the literary test is over, the military test will be held.

But the only difference may be that when the time comes, they will not have to go out so far to hunt like those talented scholars who have practiced for a long time.

Song Mu and the others continued to eat, but at this time they heard the sound of storytelling faintly coming from the teahouse. The old man with a goatee was as fierce as a tiger, and a piece of Xingmu was knocking loudly, and his voice was even more crisp.

Song Mu and the others didn't pay attention to it just now, but now they are full of wine and food, so they are naturally listening attentively.

"However, the nine-tailed fox demon had a little bit of love and kindness in his heart. When the tree demon's grandmother came to him, he stretched out his hand, and immediately made the scholar die, and rolled down between the cliffs and streams. At this moment, the fox demon turned around. , but saw that the tree demon grandma had already killed all those men, and that tree demon was still causing trouble at that time, but suddenly exploded from the inside out, it turned out to be an article written by the scholar before."

……

"When the scholar woke up, he was already in a caravan. At this moment, his head was still faintly affected. The merchant went up to talk. It turned out that he was rescued by the caravan that day, and now he is not far from the capital."

"The scholar felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly got up, but found something in his arms. When he lifted the thin quilt, he saw a white thing lying in his arms."

"That white head, white ears, white body and white tail is the nine-tailed white fox demon."

"After this incident, there are poems to prove it. The down-and-out scholar travels in the wilderness, and the beautiful fox demon mountain temple attends. But I advise the world to be more cautious, and don't hide your eyes with imaginary things. The tree demon is born to harm the world, and the scholar draws his sword to fight the sky. It’s hard to be single and weak, but luckily everything is going well.”

The storyteller shook his head and said, the dozen or so spectators below applauded and applauded.

Even Kong Zong and Zhang Yiqi were attracted to them at the moment, and they talked about it in retrospect.

"What kind of storytelling is this, a story about a demon and a man, sounds pretty good?"

Zhang Yiqi smiled and shook his head: "I don't know when the folk novels came out. Now only Yingxuefang sells this kind of books. It seems to be called "Hundred Demons"."

"The story is quite fascinating to tell, but only one volume has been published now."

"Oh? So it's a folk novel, but I don't know what's going on?"

Kong Zong asked again, but Zhang Yiqi nodded approvingly: "It's not bad, many people are willing to read this kind of book, and scholars are willing to read it once or twice. Some people say that it is too bloody and heartless. I think it's good, at least this book is still teaching people to recognize the face of monsters."

Zhang Yiqi and the two were chatting, but Song Mu lowered his eyes slightly at the moment, and there was a bit of thought on his face at the moment.

Because the story just now was obviously adapted from the story of his "Human-eating Fox".

Although the story was indeed a love story between a man and a demon before he adapted it, but when he was writing it, he deliberately included these things and wrote it into a bloody and cruel story.

There was no happy ending in it, but in the end, the lives of the people in the village and the scholar were tragically sacrificed for the sake of destroying the demon.

But Song Mu didn't expect to make a storytelling so soon, but the content has changed so much that there is still that harmonious ending between man and demon?
This made Song Mu suddenly feel that his story had been made a little out of his original intention, and at this moment he planned to go to Yingxuefang later and ask shopkeeper Zhang about the situation.

After eating, Song Mu immediately found an excuse to leave, walked on the street for a while, and then came to Yingxuefang.

But the scene here at this moment made Song Mu even more speechless.

At the front of the entire bookstore, a storyteller was invited from nowhere, the gentleman was talking like a lotus flower, and the story he was telling was Song Mu's "White Jade Snake".

In front of the storyteller, there were more than a dozen people who were stopping and listening, as if they were also fascinated.

And in front of the book shop, there is also a place specially set up to sell these folk books, and his own chatter about the hundred monsters is the most among them.

Seeing this situation, Song Mu also took a deep breath and walked in calmly.
