Chapter 93: The Record of the Stone Monkey Seeking the Way is a Big Sale
Border Town Wine House.
It is not on the far-flung border of Daxia, on the contrary, it is in the imperial capital of Dragon City.
The reason why it is called Border City is because the wine house is on the edge of Longcheng. Since it is on the edge of the city, the name naturally needs to be called Chengbian Wine House so that it is easier to remember, more resounding and known by others. But the owner feels that the word "Cheng Bian"
It was too vulgar, so I changed the order of the names and called it "Border Town", Border Town Wine House.
Since it is called Border Town Wine House, it should naturally look a bit like a border town.
The host invited people who had lived in the border town to build the wine house into the rough and heroic style of the border town.
Because of the unique decoration and the unique food and wine, the business of the wine house has always been good. Some people who are leaving the imperial capital even come here to have a bowl of farewell wine with their friends, as if they are leaving Daxia forever.
There is no sound from either side of the sky.
Some poets and poets often regarded the tavern as a border town, where they entertained guests and drank, and sometimes even wrote some joking poems about the border town in the shop.
For example: "The solitary Jian is drifting again, like a fallen firefly at the end of the world. The east wind blows a chronic disease, and the warm sun is extremely green."
The farmers returning to the silk market are drunk, and the fishermen on the fishing boats are awake. It is not early to discuss the suffering of the country, and this is the only way to lose the royal court."
For example: "Purple plugs on the quicksand to the north, yellow pictures on the Bashui River to the east. Say goodbye to Zudou in one day, and chase sand pods thousands of miles away."
The waiting moon is always full, and the source is repeatedly dug out. The wild fields are dim and the Qi is combined, and the beacons are garrisoning and the smoke is clear.
The physical strength is worn out by the dust, and the years on the battlefield are exhausted. The rivers contain accumulated stones, and the mountain roads are far and wide.
Ambition reaches the sky, and sincerity runs through the white rainbow. If your kindness can be repaid, there are male and female dragon swords."
There are also some songs praising border towns, such as: "Don't be a long-distance traveler in life, and don't garrison the yellow sand moraine when traveling far away. In August under the yellow sand moraine, the frost and wind will crack the skin and the grass will fade. On a dusty and sunny day, the road will be lost, and the river will flow.
Going east leisurely. Hu Jia listened with tears streaming down his face, and his soul was miserable and sad. The original head hunted each other in the night, and the horses' hooves tramped on the ice. It was not like the young chivalrous man in Beijing, singing and dancing in front of the falling flowers."
For example: "It has been a bad day in Xicheng recently, and the customary climate is bad. Xingzi is thirsty alone, but his master still sells the spring."
Outside the burning beacon and the green clouds, horses are herding on the top of the green slope. Where are the falcons suddenly dreaming, returning to my thoughts and sleeping."
Fortunately, there are many extraordinary people who can write such poems. The poems they wrote attracted the admiration and admiration of some younger generations, and also attracted some guests to the wine house.
In the past, every evening, when the setting sun shone into the wine house, a large number of people would come to drink and experience the sunset in the border town.
Every time at this time, the tavern would be extremely noisy. But today, for some reason, it was extremely quiet. The only sound was the sonorous voice of the storyteller on the stage next to the tavern.
"The first time the Stone Monkey was born
The poem says: Chaos is undivided, heaven and earth are chaotic, vast and vast, no one can see it. Since Pangu broke through the Hongmeng, it has opened up to distinguish between the clear and the turbid.
Encourage all sentient beings to look up to the Supreme Benevolence and discover that all things are good. If you want to know the original power of creation, you must read the Stone Monkey's Record of Seeking the Way.
It is said that in the past, when the two rites were not separated, there was silence and Hongmeng, which had not yet taken shape. The sky, the earth, the sun and the moon did not exist, and they were like chickens, chaotic and black and yellow.
······
In the mountains, the monkey can walk and jump, eat grass and trees, drink from springs, collect mountain flowers, and forage for tree fruits; it keeps company with wolves and worms, groups of tigers and leopards, deer and deer as friends, and macaques as relatives; it spends the night on a stone cliff.
Downstairs, in Chaoyoufeng Cave. It is true that "there are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is so cold that I don't know the year."
······
From then on, Stone Monkey ascended the throne and hid the word "stone", so he was called the Monkey King. There is a poem to prove it, which says:
The three Yangs are in harmony and give birth to a group of beings. The immortal stone cells contain the essence of the sun and the moon. The great road is completed by turning the egg into a monkey, and the elixir is created by using his name.
The reason for not knowing internally is that there is no form, and externally knowing clearly makes it tangible. Everyone in the past has been like this, and they have been called kings and saints. After all, I don’t know what is going on with this Monkey King. If you want to know what happened, let’s listen to the explanation in the next chapter.”
The book was talking about the wonderful point, but suddenly it disappeared.
It's like reading a good book that I've just become interested in, but it turns out to be a eunuch; it's also like finally getting an appointment with a goddess, and just when I'm about to do something nice, I say that the one is here today. How can I bear this?
Suddenly, the dissatisfied people in the tavern started shouting.
Seeing the excitement among the people below, the storyteller said helplessly: "Everyone, no, it's just that it's getting late now. If you don't go back, my family will be worried about finding me! Please don't worry, the little old man will still be here tomorrow.
While I’m talking about the book, I’m still talking about the following chapters, so I’m not afraid that I won’t hear it. If anyone is anxious to know what happens next, you can go to a nearby bookstore to buy “The Record of the Stone Monkey Seeking the Way.” It’s sold in every store, so it’s very convenient.”
When the people in the tavern heard the storyteller's words, they realized that the lights had been lit in the shop, and without knowing it, they had stayed there from sunset to night.
Some people were afraid that their family would miss them, so they hurriedly paid and left, not forgetting to ask the storyteller to continue talking tomorrow.
When some people passed by the bookstore, they thought of the storyteller's words, hesitated for a moment, then walked into the store and bought a copy of "The Stone Monkey Seeks the Way" and went back.
Some people feel so itchy on the road that they read under dim lanterns at other people's doorsteps. Who knows, they are so fascinated by the book that they forget to go home. It is not until their family members come to find them that they realize how ridiculous they are.
The next day, Gongliang went shopping in the market and found that his marketing strategy was good, so he quickly asked the printing house to start printing.
This time, instead of 1,000 copies, 10,000 copies were printed, and there was also a hardcover edition specially for people to collect.
These one thousand hardcover editions are printed using woodblock printing, and the paper is made of the finest smooth and delicate white jade paper. All the illustrations inside are painted in color.
The 10,000 copies were printed using the new movable type printing technology, and the illustrations inside were all white drawings, and the paper was relatively poor. Although the content was the same, the quality was a lot different. However, the paper of the 10,000 copies was slightly worse.
"The Record of the Stone Monkey Seeking the Way" was sold so cheaply that even a peddler could afford it.
What Gong Liang didn't expect was that the thousand hardcover editions of "Stone Monkey Seeking the Way" would be sold out as soon as they were printed and put on sale. He had to sigh, there are so many rich people in the imperial capital!
As a last resort, he had to ask people to continue printing.
In order to avoid trouble, he left all the subsequent printing of books to Chengqiu Zhong, and he only had to wait to receive the money.
"······
One day, when spring returned to summer solstice, everyone gathered under the pine trees to talk for a long time.
The crowd said: "Wukong, are you the predestined dharma you cultivated in that life? The day before yesterday, your master whispered in your ears and taught you the methods to avoid the three disasters and changes. Do you know how to avoid them?"
Wukong smiled and said: "To be honest with you brothers, on the one hand, it was taught by my master, and on the other hand, I worked diligently day and night, so I can do all those things."
The crowd said: "Take advantage of this good opportunity to try out your performance and let me wait and see." After hearing this, Wukong cheered up and showed off his skills: "Brothers, please come up with a question. What do you want me to change?" The crowd said: "
Just change into a pine tree." Wukong twisted the formula, recited the incantation, and transformed into a pine tree. It was really true.
The gloomy smoke spreads throughout the four seasons, and the soaring clouds go straight up to show off the virgin figure. There are no monster monkeys at all, only frost-resistant and snow-resistant branches."
Gong Liang was walking in the East Market, listening to the sound of storytelling coming from the nearby wine shop, and couldn't help but laugh.
In just a few days, the book "The Record of the Stone Monkey Seeking the Dao" became popular in the imperial capital. Now it has reached a situation where everyone knows about the Record of the Stone Monkey Seeking the Dao, everyone does not talk about the Record of the Stone Monkey Seeking the Dao, and everyone does not listen to the Record of the Seeking the Dao.
.
In the process of the dissemination of the Stone Monkey Seeking Taoist Records, Gongliang gained not only money, but also the will of everyone.
These strands of sentient beings' wish power fell from the outside into the space between the eyebrows, and were quickly refined by the purple-blue flames into strands of pure wish power.
It's just that when Gongliang wanted to use these wishes to condense into the appearance of Sun Wukong, he couldn't condense them, which was strange.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he was dueling with the military strategist, he seemed to have a book in his hand. Could it be that he had to condense a book first?
Being able to become a school of thought naturally has its own uniqueness. How is it possible that Gongliang wants to use other people's methods based on his own understanding and observation?
With just a thought, the pure willpower deep in the space between his eyebrows suddenly formed a whirlpool and started to spin rapidly. After a while, a flickering jade book emerged from the whirlpool.
When the jade book appeared, there seemed to be films flashing above it, as if to prevent it from appearing, and to drive away the impurities in the jade book.
But no matter what, after a while, a complete jade book appeared in the space between Gongliang's eyebrows.
When the jade book appeared, all the wish power in the space immediately poured in, and even the wish power coming in from the outside flew into the book. After absorbing enough wish power, the jade book, which was originally a whole like jade, suddenly transformed into a jade book.
The pages of paper were rolled up, and a figure suddenly appeared on the first page. It was Sun Wukong, the protagonist of the Stone Monkey's Book of Seeking the Way.
The dramatic changes in the space between the eyebrows caught Gong Liang's attention.
For a moment, my mind sank into it, and I stopped on the street.
Mi Gu quickly stood on Dad's shoulders, staring at the people passing by with big eyes, for fear that they would disturb Dad.
The round man stood up, took out the jasper bamboo, and stood guard carefully.
Kui Long raised his head from Gong Liang's wrist and stared at everyone who passed by.
The spirit of the beast appeared next to Gongliang without a shadow, staring with scarlet snow eyes, carefully guarding its master.
After a while, Gongliang woke up and found something strange on his head. Looking up, he saw the little thing Nezha Li'er with four arms sitting on his head, waving his four hands and wiggling his butt happily.
Talk to Mi Gu.
Gongliang smacked his lips, not knowing what to say. 8)
