"Is the new book still about tennis?"

"I feel like I can write about basketball or football."

"..."

Colleagues discussed with interest.

Yang Feng looked at the crowd and said, "Chu Kuang is writing Xianxia."

The editorial department fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, someone tentatively asked, "Is it the kind of fairy man I know?"

Yang Feng forced a smile: "Do you know about "War of Immortals and Demons"?"

It really is?

Xianxia novels?

What age is it?

Everyone was stunned, and the scene became quiet again.

No longer pay attention to everyone.

Yang Feng had already sat down at the table.

In any case, he had to review the manuscript to see what Chu Kuang wrote in this fairy tale novel.

to be frank.

Yang Feng almost bite the bullet and opened this "Zhu Xian", the first thing that catches his eyes is the prologue of this book.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat everything as a straw dog!"

This is the first sentence of the prologue of "Zhu Xian".

If Yang Feng had read few books, he would probably feel that this sentence was a big deal.

In the previous life, some people even thought that this sentence was the original of "Zhu Xian".

However, Yang Feng had read the "Tao Te Ching" and knew that this sentence came from that work.

Lao Tzu is one of the most famous figures in the Spring and Autumn Period.

So for this sentence, the academic community has two conjectures.

The first conjecture is: Lao Tzu wants to express the view that heaven and earth are fair.

The second conjecture is: God is not benevolent, and only regards all things as lifeless tributes.

No matter which conjecture is in line with Lao Tzu's thinking, Chu Kuang can think of quoting this sentence as the beginning of the novel, which is quite a bit of a head start.

It seems that Chu Kuang didn't want to write Xianxia on a whim, but did some homework in advance.

But why can't you think about it and insist on writing Xianxia?

Yang Feng shook his head and continued to watch.

Editors read books very quickly, and so did Yang Feng.

Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Yang Feng gulped it down, reading it very quickly.

But when he saw Chapter 3, Yang Feng suddenly stopped.

Like someone hit the pause button.

For some reason, he actually opened the prologue of "Zhu Xian" and read it again.

This time, his reading speed can be described as extremely slow, literally reading word by word.

This is the first time since Yang Feng's editing career, he has read a book at such a slow speed——

As if, for fear of missing a word.

--------

ps: Today is the end of work, and the third shift guarantees the bottom line. This is the fourth shift, which belongs to the added shift, so I still have confidence. Please ask for a monthly ticket.

Chapter 1 I Forbid You to Say That About Teacher Chu Kuang

The off-duty time of Yinlan Library is eleven o'clock in the noon, and one o'clock in the afternoon. There is a gap of three hours in between, which is enough for everyone to eat or rest, but few people go home, and everyone basically takes a lunch break at the company.

Eleven fifteen.

The editors of the youth fantasy department returned to the office in small groups after eating in the company cafeteria, only to find that Yang Feng was sitting motionless in front of the computer, as if he had gone stupid.

The crowd shook their heads.

Everyone is sympathizing with Yang Feng.

It was really too difficult for Yang Feng. Finally, a best-selling author Chu Kuang appeared under his hands. As a result, the serialization of "The King of the Net" ended quickly in less than half a year. Instead, he put his hopes on Chu Kuang's new book, but Chu Kuang His new book has chosen an inexplicable subject.

Let alone Yang Feng.

In this situation, any editor in the editorial department would be overwhelmed. I am afraid that Yang Feng is thinking about how to persuade Chu Kuang to change the subject, so everyone took turns to pat Yang Feng on the shoulder:

"Let's go down and eat first."

"There is still a twist in this matter."

"You can have a good chat with Chu Kuang later, let him understand the situation in our circle, and persuade him to continue writing sports competitions, and continue to write sports competitions with his strength. It won't be very far."

"Xianxia definitely can't write."

"The subject matter is simply too old."

His shoulders were repeatedly patted by his colleagues, and Yang Feng came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He seemed to have come alive. He suddenly stood up from his seat with a red face, and shouted loudly with a full and high-spirited posture:

"You know shit!"

After everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they all wondered whether Yang Feng was mentally disturbed by the blow, or how could he be so abnormal, so instead of blaming Yang Feng for his rudeness, everyone sympathized with him more and more:

"Brother, please mourn."

"It's not your problem."

"It's all his madness."

"The sudden end of "The King of the Internet" shows that Chu Kuang is a very willful writer, and this kind of willful writer is full of uncertainty when writing a book, so don't be too sad."

"..."

Everyone thought that Yang Feng would feel better after being comforted in this way, but to everyone's surprise, Yang Feng glared at them angrily and said, "I don't allow you to say that about Teacher Chu Kuang!"

Everyone: "..."

Yang Feng danced with his hands and feet, like a dried fish returning to the embrace of the lake, full of passion for life: "You people don't know what a fairy is, and the greatness of Teacher Chu Kuang is beyond your comprehension and imagination!"

Yang Feng was really excited!

When it comes to Xianxia, ​​people’s recent memories can be traced back to the "War of Immortals and Demons" 80 years ago. Therefore, when many editors heard that Chu Kuang was going to write a novel about Xianxia, ​​their first reaction was that this theme had long been outdated.

Originally, Yang Feng thought so too.

It wasn't until 10 minutes ago that Yang Feng finished reading the first volume of "Zhu Xian" that he realized how outrageously wrong he was before. Chu Kuang's imagination surpassed all the editors' expectations——

It turns out that Xianxia can still write like this!

Under the grand and novel world view, the picture of Dazhufeng in Qingyunmen slowly unfolds, like a traditional Chinese painting lingering in fairy spirit. There are also strange and kind brothers and a mysterious master. Almost every character seems to come alive on paper.

Blood-devouring beads!

Three-eyed Monkey!

The battle between Buddhism, Taoism and demons!

Albatron's Six Meridians Meet Martial Arts!

The development of every plot makes Yang Feng's heart surge, and the appearance of every setting makes Yang Feng amazed, especially seeing Zhang Xiaofan's aggrieved early stage, seeing the upcoming martial arts meeting of the Qingyunmen Six Meridians, the rhythm of the story is pointless Can always be stuck in the most exciting position.

Yang Feng was completely convinced.

He didn't bother to comfort his colleagues anymore, and he didn't explain too much how wonderful the novel is. Instead, he directly sent the "Zhu Xian" document to everyone's mailboxes, and believed that everyone would understand his feelings after reading it.

Get these things done.

Yang Feng went downstairs to eat.

Yang Feng was really not quite right today, the colleagues stayed where they were for a while, and then returned to their seats, only to see "Zhu Xian" sent by Yang Feng lying quietly in their mailboxes.

"Chu Kuang's new book?"

"Yang Feng sent us?"

"Look at what Chu Kuang wrote."

Everyone froze for a moment, exchanged a few words with each other, and then opened the book curiously. After all, it was Chu Kuang's new book. I'm interested, and besides, Yang Feng sent the document to everyone's mailbox on purpose, so I hope everyone can help to take a look.

Everyone started to read books.

Einstein of the earth once said an interesting interpretation of the theory of relativity. When a person is bored, he will feel that time passes slowly, but when he is dating a beautiful girl, he will feel that time passes quickly.

This is Blue Star.

The editors in the fantasy department don’t know Einstein, but for them, a good novel is a beautiful girl. If they were given a choice, they would even choose a novel instead of a girl. This is the same as some otaku who ignore Goddess is the same reason.

Continuing to quote relativity:

When reading a boring novel, the editors will feel that the time passes very slowly, but when reading an excellent novel, the editors will feel that the time passes very, very fast, as if the three or two hours at noon are empty, and in a blink of an eye the time passes by. passed.

Everyone even forgot their lunch break.

Lunch break is the daily routine of the editorial department. If you don’t take a break for a while, it will easily affect your work status in the afternoon. However, today’s fantasy editorial department does not have this statement, because until the beginning of work in the afternoon, everyone is still watching the first episode of "Zhu Xian" intently. roll.

work?

unimportant.

Everyone was completely attracted by "Zhu Xian", and read it earnestly. The editorial office was unprecedentedly quiet, and no one even heard Yang Feng's footsteps when he came back to work.

Yang Feng smiled.

He understands these colleagues very well, because he also came here this morning. "Zhu Xian" must be published. Now even if Chu Kuang changes his mind and says that he wants to write about sports competitions, Yang Feng will not be happy. Well!

What to write about athletics?

At this time, several company leaders passed by, and seeing the editors of the fantasy department staring at the computer intently, they nodded in satisfaction: "The fantasy department is very enthusiastic about work, and they have entered the state as soon as they go to work in the afternoon."

"good."

"That's how it has to be."

"Stronger than other departments."

Under normal circumstances, it takes time for these editors to enter the working state, because everyone will be a little absent-minded because they have just finished their lunch break, and they have to wait for a while before getting rid of sleepiness and re-entering the working state.

The leaders left satisfied.

What these leaders didn't know was that shortly after they left, an editor suddenly yelled at the computer in an annoyed and angry tone:

"Fuck, is this gone?"

Chapter 111 The Essence of Human Beings Are Repeating Machines

Turn the page turn the page turn the page...

This editor is the fastest reader in the entire editorial department. At this time, he has already seen the important chapter of the first volume of "Zhu Xian", which is about the beginning of the Qingyunmen Qimai Wushu. As a result, his mouse almost died, and the next chapter still did not appear. Zhang, so he was in a hurry.

That's it for the first volume?

Chu Kuang is a broken dog!

But this editor finished watching, it doesn’t mean that other editors also finished watching. Everyone was watching with great interest, when they suddenly heard this editor’s noise, they raised their heads in dissatisfaction, and their eyes were full of threats:

"you shut up!"

"I just……"

"Dare to spoil you and kill you!"

The editor didn't dare to offend everyone, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

However, his words reminded other editors who were reading the book.
