Chapter 18 Fengshen VS Fengxian
At noon on the fifth day of the August 2018, Dai Changan came out of the soft jade pavilion that had just opened. Since he received a large amount of royalties and rewards from Wanjia two days ago, he has been lingering in this gentle land for a few days and has been unable to extricate himself. Until today, he really can't stand it and left.
Of course, if he asked him to explain, Dai Changan would only say that he was studying in the field and experiencing life, so that he could write a more wonderful and lifelike "action scene". However, his white face and weak legs were telling something else.
Fortunately, he did not forget his identity after all, so before returning home, he deliberately turned to the bookstore not far away to see how his books were selling, and also checked whether the fourth volume of Fengshen had been published. As a result, when he arrived in front of the bookstore, he saw several people surrounding the boss, but he asked Fengshen: "Boss, didn't you say yesterday that the fourth volume of Fengshen can be reached today? Why haven't you been fooled with us yet? "
Boss Liu from the bookstore explained with a wry smile: "I heard what Gujia Bookstore said two days ago. I had asked my friend to go over and urge him to inquire. If the book comes out, I will sell it to you as soon as possible."
My book has never been so thought of by anyone, which made Dai Changan feel sour, and he could only cheer himself up: "Soon, my immortal seal will surpass that immortal seal and become the most sought-after book in our county..."
Then he heard someone mention Fengxian, but Boss Liu took the opportunity to recommend it to those guests: "Actually, if you are in a hurry to read Fengxian, there are still a few volumes of "Fengxian Romance" in my store, which is quite exciting. Not only has the fourth volume been released, the price is also cheaper. You can buy all four volumes in just ten taels."
"The Romance of the Immortals? I have heard people say before, is this book good? How about the Conquest of the God?" Someone asked unconsciously.
"At least, it's not much different to me, but the author Mr. Chang'an writes it quickly, and some plots inside are much more interesting than the Gods." The boss said, and then smiled ambiguously.
Before that person could say anything, he saw another customer snorting disdain: "I have read that book too. The whole story is almost the same as Feng Shen. There is no one of his own things at all, and it is not worth reading."
"Not bad, so there is no good product for cheapness, and there are many insulting contents in it, which is really unsightly!"
After hearing the two people gave such comments in a row, the person who was a little moved was no longer interested: "Then I'd better wait until the gods come out before buying it. This book will be comfortable to read."
All these words fell into Dai Changan's ears, making his originally pale face rosy. After a quick breath, he rushed into the bookstore and said to the two customers who criticized his novels: "What do you say is that you can't compare to the immortals. What's wrong with the writing style and story?"
None of these people expected anyone to react like this. They were all stunned for a moment. The previous person smiled and said, "Brother, why are you so angry? Are you the author of Fengxian's book?"
"When...of course not!" Dai Changan was a little calmer at this time, and he would not admit his identity, so he just said casually: "I just feel unfair for Mr. Changan. I look pretty good at his book..."
"That's what you have never read the Confession of the Gods. I'm asking me to say that this Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession of the Confession
"You..." His book was said to be worthless in person, which immediately made Dai Changan angry. He really wanted to tell them loudly that he was the author of the book, which was also his own hard work. But when it comes to his words, he could not express it.
At this moment, a cart filled with books slowly came. The boss shouted loudly at first sight: "Here, the fourth volume of the Gods is coming. Are you going to buy books?" He was really afraid that these people would start fighting in his shop.
Sure enough, when he heard this greeting, everyone's attention quickly changed. Everyone was looking forward to watching the guy move the stacks of books into the store, then squeezed to the boss, and took out the money to buy books. The boss was even more smiling at the moment. He called out while collecting money and dividing the books: "Don't worry, we will definitely not let anyone come back empty-handed after entering a hundred books this time."
Someone who was impatient, immediately opened the book after buying it and quickly flipped through the contents inside. After reading two pages, someone repeatedly exclaimed: "This Xiaoyaozi's writing style has increased again! Wow, the Ten Absolute Formation is so powerful. When the three hundred soldiers of Zhou entered, they instantly turned into blood mist. What should I do?..."
"Hey, you have to talk about it and go back to your own home. We haven't read it yet!" Someone next to him immediately shouted dissatisfied, causing the man to apologize with a smile, and then hurriedly left, obviously in a hurry to go home to read the book.
Seeing this scene, Dai Changan was really jealous, but after being humiliated for a while, he still spent five taels of silver to buy a new book. After all, he still hoped to "get inspiration" from the Conquest of Gods to continue his Conquest of Immortality.
Dai Changan, who was worried, returned home and ignored his wife's concern and greetings. He immediately locked himself in the study room, opened the book and looked at it with a look. When he looked at it, he saw that the sky was dark and he could not see clearly without lighting the lamp, so he stopped.
At this moment, Dai Changan no longer had the previous resentment, but his eyes were full of helplessness and loss. Even if he was reluctant, he had to admit that he was far inferior to Xiaoyaozi. If he only looked at the first three volumes, he felt that he was really not inferior to the other party, and he could have thought out and written those plots. But after reading the contents of most of the volumes, this idea had disappeared.
The huge battle scenes of thousands of troops in the book, the exquisite killing of the Ten Abyssal Formations, and the various means and skills of Xiqi in cooperating with the immortals of the Ancient Sect to break the formation, he had never done it even in his dreams. If it weren't for the contents of the book, he wouldn't have thought that such a turning point would have been.
Finally, there are the vivid characters, Nezha, Yang Jian, Jiang Ziya, even the villains such as Wen Zhong and Zhao Gongming, all of which are vividly displayed on the paper, giving people an extremely deep impression. This is much better than his own immortal seal. Even if he wants to copy and use it, he has no clue for the time being. Unless he completely copied it, it will only make more people despise his novel... For a moment, he was confused and had the idea of giving up and continuing to write immortal seal.
...
Even the author who wrote more than ten novels like Dai Changan was impressed by this new volume of the Gods, and other readers were naturally even more aware of the grandeur of the battle scenes in the book, some yearned for the exquisiteness and wonder of the two fighting techniques, and some lamented the situation of the characters in the inner world.
Anyway, in just two or three days, the content of the fourth volume of the Conquest of Gods became a topic that everyone talked about. Whether reading the novel or not, many people can hear discussions and appreciations of the contents in the book everywhere in Jiangcheng County.
Especially in the county school, many students almost all have one. Once they are tired of reading and writing essays, they will come together to discuss the content in the novel. Of course, the most active ones are all counted. At this time, he didn't even play chess, and he held Feng Shen and several classmates all day long to tell the wonderful things in the book, and imagined the stories that followed.
"You said that when Zhao Gongming dies, how will his three sisters avenge him?"
"Why did you believe that Fairy Sanxiao would rebel against the Heavenly Way because of him? They were quite sober and self-reliant before, and they also knew that this was the Heavenly Way, and they could not be reversed and blocked by the younger generations of the Jie Sect."
"But the book has been vaguely mentioned several times that the three fairies and Zhao Gongming have a deep friendship. Now that he has been killed, he certainly wants to take revenge. Speaking of which, Zhao Gongming is also an open-minded husband, but he was plotted by Lu Ya. It's a pity."
"The most regrettable thing for me is Wen Zhongwen Taishi. He was a pillar of the country and was dedicated to serving the people, but because King Zhou was unrighteous, he rushed him on the road of defeat."
"This Xiaoyaozi is also very annoying. Why do you have to write them so vividly?"
"But I prefer Nezha to compare. The lotus incarnation is indeed powerful. None of the tricks specifically targeting the soul do work, and he is so interesting..."
"I prefer Yang Jian, the Seventy-Two Changes are so amazing..."
"Lei Zhenzi can fight in the sky, but he can be furious and is eye-catching..."
"Actually, I think Daji is more attractive..."
The last sentence suddenly made the atmosphere on the scene froze, and everyone's faces showed a strange look.
...
Driven by such a popular trend, the sales of Li Ling's volume "The Romance of the Gods" have been rising step by step. Not only did he buy the first three volumes before, but he also became interested in this book in these discussions, and went to the bookstore to buy a full set to read. Those who did not read novels in the past will also buy a few volumes as long as they have a good hand. After all, the entertainment methods at this time were too scarce.
So, in less than seven or eight days, the new volume of "The Romance of the Gods" sold more than 1,000 copies, and the previous three volumes also increased sales, and more than 200 copies were sold.
It can be said that when the fourth volume of the Gods appeared, the comparison between it and the Immortals had completely lost its meaning. It was a completely crushing victory. Since the fifth day of the lunar month, the Immortals had never been sold yet. All the books can only be placed on the shelves of each bookstore to eat dust. In comparison, it is really pitiful.
