"Bring it over and let me see!"

After saying that, Xi Wendian realized that something was wrong with him.

This is someone else's house. He is so eager to see other people's things and keeps urging them. Of course it is very rude.

So he calmed down a little and said softly: "Can you open those two boxes and let me take a look? This matter is very important!"

Everyone looked at Liu Ruyan, who nodded slightly and opened the box with "On Sword" written on it with some difficulty.

Lying in the box are a dozen iron badges.

"This is……"

Xi Wendian in front of the screen pushed his glasses higher, squinted and said:

"Bring the one in the middle, the badge with the small sword, yes, the one on the left, let me see..."

After Liu Ruyan took out the badge he was talking about, Xi Wendian's breathing became obviously rapid.

"Please take out the flying knife badge again. Well, it's the one in the upper left corner."

"Then there's the one with the parting hook...no, it's the one with the curved hook."

"And the one with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms...well, it's the shape of the palm."

...Xi Wendian clicked on 6 badges, and Liu Ruyan placed what he said on the floor and lined them up.

From left to right, on the badge are a throwing knife, a small sword, a black knife, a fist, a parting hook and a deer with raised horns.

"No, it can't be..."

Xiao Qing sat on the ground, her long legs wrapped in thin stockings lying crookedly on the floor, her lips trembling and her eyes shaking.

Her plump body sat limply, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Obviously, she has realized something.

As a writer, she knows the meaning contained in those little badges.

But others were confused. Faced with the shock of Xi Wendian and Xiao Qing, they were a little confused.

Gu Yuanzhen clenched her fists and said, "Teacher Xi, please stop showing off! What are these badges used for?"

Xi Wendian tried his best to suppress his voice so that it would not tremble, and said slowly:

"The reason why I let you open the box is because I recognize that box."

"More than ten years ago, "The Passionate Swordsman" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came out, triggering the craze of martial arts novels and creating a new genre of novels."

“In order to boost this wave of craze, several publishing houses and some authoritative magazines have joined forces to hold several ‘Sword Conferences’.”

"Sword Discussion Conference?" Qin Yunchu repeated the name.

She felt somewhat familiar, but her memory was not clear.

"Oh! I remembered," Gu Yuanzhen clapped his hands, "it was sent to martial arts novel writers!"

Xi Wendian nodded and said: "This award is used to commend outstanding martial arts novel writers. It has been held for 7 times in total."

"The first session was in 2013. There was a strong public clamor for Jin Yong and Gu Long to win the prize. In the end, the jury resisted the pressure and awarded the award to Gu Long's "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" in recognition of his creation.

The pioneer of martial arts."

Gu Yuanzhen nodded and said: "I remember! Back then, this award caused a lot of controversy! People on the forum built 30,000 buildings, just to compete for who is more qualified to win the award, the golden yong or the ancient cage!"

A look of nostalgia appeared on Xi Wendian's face, as if he was recalling the golden age of martial arts novels.

Then, he slowly said:

"For the second time, Gu Lung had already won the award. Without giving the award to Jin Yong, the authority of the award would be gone. So, it was awarded to Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

"In the third session, Gu Lung's "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword" and "End of the World, Bright Moon, Sword" were so brilliant that they made great breakthroughs in novel achievements, especially Fu Hongxue's Sword, which was impressive, so this session

The winner is Gu Long."

"The fourth year was Jin Yong's breakthrough year. "The Swordsman" and "Dragon" were both released that year. He became the undisputed winner."

"In the fifth session, Gu Long announced that he would be closed. Out of memory of him, everyone unanimously agreed to award the award to him. The farewell hook was engraved on the badge, which hinted at the intention of retaining him - although he left, he still wanted to stay.

Everyone wants to hook him back."

"Who would have thought that by the sixth medal, Jin Yong left a copy of "The Deer and the Cauldron" and disappeared. The theme of this medal is deer. In "The Deer and the Cauldron", the deer refers to all living beings and common people in the world.

"

The more Xi Wendian spoke, the more shocked the listeners became.

They have all realized the problem.

Whether the ancient cage wins the award or the golden yong wins, the controversy of that year can only leave a faint memory in people's hearts today.

The medals that condensed all the controversies were placed side by side on the ground one by one, as if history had been condensed into a solid state.

The ancient cage, the golden Yong, and their medals are all in the same box now, working together and reaching the same goal through different paths.

Gu Yuanzhen said with a trembling voice: "Teacher Xi, are these medals... real?"

"I have seen and touched every one of them with my own hands, how can they be fake?" Xi Wendian said.

He Shiying and Gu Yuanzhen looked at each other, and then said together:

"Jin Yong... is the ancient cage?"

"The ancient cage is the golden Yong?"

They suddenly feel powerless.

They were arguing over and over as to who was stronger between the two, and they were so quarreling over this that their heads were about to be broken.

Unexpectedly, both of them are the same person.

"No, Jin Yong is Jin Yong, and Gu Long is Gu Long." Qin Yunchu corrected them, "They are all Chen Ya's vests."

The room was silent for a long time, with only the leaves of the sycamore trees outside the window whispering in the wind.

"Why!"

He Shiying stood up.

Her expression looked very unwilling.

"They... no, he, why did he use his vest to trick us?"

Xi Wendian let out a long sigh.

"Now it seems that the vest of Gulong is used to explore new writing methods and new realms, while the vest of Jinyong is used to consolidate the position of the first person." Xi Wendian said.

"Talented and talented, he used two vests and both reached the top. I have never seen such a talented person."

"Talented and talented, the rivers and oceans are flowing." After hearing this comment, Xiao Qing was speechless.

She thought so too.

If he didn't use two vests but only one pen name, wouldn't he be more famous than he is now?

But he just used two vests to make it more difficult for himself.

There is no other explanation other than not being interested in fame and fortune.

Xiao Qing has seen many writers say that they are not interested in fame and fortune, but compared to Chen Ya, they are so despicable.

From this, Xiao Qing sighed: "We don't understand the world of genius."

Xi Wendian also said: "Yes, how can we understand the world of genius?"

Xiao Qing grabbed Liu Ruyan, with an admiring and ulterior smile on her face: "Gu Long and Jin Yong... No, Chen Ya, they are in your company now, right?"

"Um...right." Qin Yunchu was asked a little suddenly.

"You must introduce him to me," Xiao Qing said, "You must, you must introduce him to me! I want to get to know him! This is my lifelong request!"

Qin Yunchu wanted to laugh a little and nodded: "Yes, definitely."

Xi Wendian was still recalling the days when martial arts novels were unprecedentedly popular.

He remembered the 6th sword conference, which was also the penultimate conference.

After Jin Yong wrote "The Deer and the Cauldron", a "wuxia" that seemed to let loose and was not martial arts at all, the jury was very worried about whether to award him the award.

Everyone says that the protagonist of "The Deer and the Cauldron" is not good at martial arts and is also lecherous. He relies on money and swaying his beard to win favors, and he is tactful and can do things that even martial arts masters cannot do.

This is not martial arts, but anti-martial arts.

Give him the prize, it belongs to you and slap you in the face.

However, "The Deer and the Cauldron" is indeed a masterpiece in the entire martial arts novel world, so it would be unjustifiable not to give it the award.

Only Xi Wendian has a different view.

He believes that in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Jin Yong has not only set his sights on those royal relatives and martial arts masters.

He began to really focus on those little people who could not leave their names in history.

Therefore, he firmly believes that Jin Yong is still young and will write more groundbreaking works, raising the pinnacle of martial arts novels as a whole.

After that, Jin Yong disappeared and he suffered for a long time.

Now it seems that Jin Yong has not disappeared, only the vest has disappeared.

The person behind the vest has broken through this vest and ascended to other realms.

After that, the martial arts world he left behind became eclipsed because it lost two (actually one) of its brightest stars.

After that, the Sword Discussion Conference was only held for one more time and ended in disgrace.

Now it seems that it was not martial arts novels that promoted Jin and Gu, but Chen Ya single-handedly cut out the genre of martial arts novels with one sword.

"I can only say that mortals really don't understand the world of geniuses..." Xi Wendian murmured.

"The teacher mentioned the sword discussion conference." Liu Ruyan suddenly said out loud.
