Literary life with cute baby

Chapter 39 Dragon Snake
At the same time that "Heroes" was hotly discussed, the martial arts channel of Xingkong Literature Network released an advertisement. The content of the advertisement was very simple - the latest masterpiece "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" by the Three Swords of the Imperial Guard was released on July 7!
Wang Ming came home after get off work and opened the door. The house was deserted and not angry at all.

He is 28 years old, unmarried and has no girlfriend. His girlfriend broke up with him peacefully half a year ago. She is a local girl in Shanghai. Her parents and relatives opposed her being with him. She persisted for two years and finally endured. Unable to bear the pressure, the two had more and more conflicts, and finally broke up unhappy.

Wang Ming is considered a phoenix man. At a young age, he is already a middle-level manager of a large state-owned automobile company. He borrowed part of his own savings and bought a two-bedroom house in Shanghai, which is considered to be a home.

The arrangement of the home is according to my own wishes, very warm, but every time I come back after get off work, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable, thinking about it, because I am too lonely, the home is ready, but there is no hostess.

Wang Ming is a fan of novels, especially martial arts novels. As long as he doesn't work overtime at night, he basically stays at home reading books and chatting to pass the lonely time.

I simply made a chili fried pork. He is from southern Hunan, and he cannot do without spicy food for three meals. After finishing dinner quickly, he lay comfortably on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to read the novels he was chasing recently. Among them are "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Jin Yong and "Heroes" by the Three Swords of the Imperial Guard, but this time he just opened the website and entered the martial arts channel, and saw the advertisement for "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake".

""Heroes" is over? "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake"? July 7th, today is the 9th, and it will be released tomorrow. "

It took Wang Ming more than half an hour to finish the last chapter of "Heroes". In fact, he finished it a long time ago, but those scenes couldn't help but come to mind, and he continued to think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

Click on the advertisement of "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and enter the page of the novel. The novel has been created, with a brief introduction and a cover. Wang Ming glanced at it and was shocked!

On the cover, I saw a young man with short hair standing straight up, naked and muscular upper body, although his face was not clear, but he could vaguely see his heroic appearance.

His eyes are fierce, he looks up slightly, his posture is straight, his hands are slightly open, palms facing up, as if he is declaring to the whole world that I am the only one in heaven and earth!

Above the young man's head, there is an ink dragon that soars into the sky, baring its teeth and dancing its claws. It looks extremely noble and mysterious, detached and defiant.

This dragon takes up almost half of the cover. The dragon's head is facing the front, its horns are tall, and its mouth is wide open, as if you can hear the dragon chant that resounds through the world~
In the distance behind the young man, a phantom of a metropolis can be seen, and four large black characters appear above the city - The Romance of the Dragon and Snake.

The background color of the entire cover is bright yellow, while Youth, Dragon, City and the title of the book are all black, like a calligraphy left by a peerless master, with endless mysteries and mysteries, as if peerless martial arts are hidden in it.

Although I haven't seen the content yet, this cover alone has already attracted Wang Ming. He is good at analysis and quickly got some useful information. This novel is still a martial arts novel, but there are tall buildings on the cover, which shows that the background is not ancient. , but the modern city, the martial arts novel of the modern city?There are not none on the market, but there are very few, and there are almost none if it is to become a classic.

He read the introduction of "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" again, and saw that it was about the collision of Chinese martial arts and modern firearms, the world was in chaos, and dragons and snakes rose together.An ordinary young man named Chao Chao, after 15 years of hard training, 107 martial arts competitions, 87 people's advice, enlightened mountains, waters, sun and moon, finally evolved into a realm, and reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

This is not over yet, there are still four illustrations on the front page, but they are all covered, but there are words on the back of each picture, written in order from left to right:

"Breaking the void, seeing God is not bad, I am the pinnacle—Dynasty"

"Seeing and not hearing, feeling danger and avoiding it, the way of sincerity——Tang Zichen"

"Mysterious and unfathomable, seeking the truth wholeheartedly, God among men - GOD"

"The emperor's star is floating, and the world is against it. The king of fighting - Crazy Moba".

These few words actually made Wang Ming's blood boil. He had a hunch that this novel would be completely different from all martial arts novels. Maybe it would be impossible to create a genre. Moreover, the word "national art" was mentioned in the introduction. He used to I haven't heard of it at all, and I searched online, and I couldn't find it.

Fortunately, there are already many people discussing it in the comment area of ​​the novel, and there is an explanation of the term "national art".

"I have seen many people say that the author made up the word Guoshu. After all, I can't find it on the Internet, let alone explain it. Let me clarify for the author. After my rigorous research, the word Guoshu existed in the Republic of China. Its meaning is basically the same as martial arts, but there are still obvious differences. Nowadays, martial arts are too routine, so many people jokingly call it dance, while Guoshu is a martial art that only kills enemies and does not perform. This is Guoshu.”—— “Southern California Soda”

"A national art that only kills the enemy and does not perform? It is true that the current Chinese martial arts has gradually become a show. In terms of popularity worldwide, it is not only far behind RB judo and Thai boxing. Even South Korea's taekwondo has become popular in recent decades. From the beginning of life, the Chinese martial arts that have been passed down for thousands of years are actually on the decline. Perhaps it is really necessary to rectify the roots and return to the essence of martial arts in order to rejuvenate the brilliance of martial arts. What is the essence of martial arts? Of course it is to kill the enemy." ——"Helian Jingming"

There are a lot of discussions in the comment area. Wang Ming turned from top to bottom, basically looking forward to it. Although the text has not been uploaded yet, it is very topical.

"It feels like it's going to explode. Those four illustrations of characters that haven't been opened are too awesome. A few words make my whole body burn, and they all look like they're going to explode."

"It is certain that the Dynasty is the protagonist, a character who is so cool and ecstatic. Tang Zichen should be the heroine (the heroines are so awesome), and the other two GOD and Crazy Moba should be the villains. The opponents of the Dynasty, one He is the god among men, and the other is the king of fighting, just thinking about it makes his blood boil, what kind of scene do they fight???"

"I'm worried that the author will describe the martial arts scenes like in "Heroes", using spring and autumn brushwork! There are no moves at all, let alone the literary style of ecstasy, even simple and straightforward moves such as white cranes spreading their wings and monkeys stealing peaches. No, the author needs to work harder!"

"The collision of Chinese martial arts and firearms! The reason why modern martial arts are so rare is that it is difficult to write about the battle between martial arts and firearms. They practiced hard for 20 years, but a teenage boy beat him with a pistol. What a fart to write, there is no sense of excitement, the author dares to challenge this high difficulty, I admire it! I hope the writing can be reasonable."

... Judging from the reactions of these readers, Tang Shuang already has a relatively deep fan base after the foreshadowing of "Heroes". After serialization, it will definitely trigger a bigger wave of readers.
