40, dragon snake
While "Hero" was hotly debated, the martial arts channel of Star Literature Network released an advertisement. The content of the advertisement was very simple - "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", the latest masterpiece of "Three Swords of the Imperial Guard", was released on July 9th!
Wang Ming came home after get off work and opened the door. The house was deserted and lifeless.
He is 28 years old, unmarried and has no girlfriend. His girlfriend broke up with him peacefully six months ago. She is a local girl from Shanghai. Her parents and relatives were against her being with him. She persisted for two years and finally suffered.
Unable to resist the pressure, the two had more and more conflicts, and eventually broke up on bad terms.
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. He now has a family.
The decoration of the home is arranged according to one's own wishes, and it is very warm. However, every time I come back after get off work, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable. After thinking about it, it is because I am too lonely. The home is ready, but there is no hostess.
Wang Ming is a lover of novels, especially martial arts novels. As long as he doesn't work overtime at night, he basically stays at home and reads to pass the lonely time.
I simply made a stir-fried pork with chili pepper. He is from southern Hunan and cannot live without spicy food. After finishing dinner quickly, he lay down comfortably on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to read some novels that he has been following recently.
, including "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Jin Yong and "Hero" by The Three Swords of the Imperial Guard, but this time as soon as he opened the website and entered the martial arts channel, he saw an advertisement for "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake".
"Is "Hero" finished? "The Romance of Dragon and Snake"? July 9th, today is the 8th, and it will be released tomorrow. This author is so fast. No, let's watch "Hero" first. Is Wuming dead or not?
"
It took Wang Ming more than half an hour to finish reading the last chapter of "Heroes". In fact, he had finished reading it a long time ago, but the pictures couldn't help but reappear in his mind, and he kept thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.
Click on the advertisement for "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" and enter the novel page. The novel has been created, with an introduction and cover. Wang Ming glanced at it and was shocked!
On the cover, I saw a young man with short hair standing straight up and a naked upper body. Although his face was not clear, he could vaguely see his heroic appearance.
His eyes are unruly, 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 on earth!
Above the young man's head, there is an ink dragon rising into the sky with its teeth and claws showing, looking extremely noble and mysterious, detached and arrogant.
This dragon occupies almost half of the cover. The dragon's head is facing forward, its head and horns are majestic, and its mouth is wide open, as if you can hear the dragon's roar that resounds throughout the world~
In the distance behind the young man, you can see the shadow of a metropolis, with four big black characters floating above the city - The Romance of Dragon and Snake.
The background color of the entire cover is bright yellow, and the youth, dragon, city and book title are all black. It is like a calligraphy treasure left by a peerless master. It is full of mysteries and mysteries, and it seems that there is peerless martial arts hidden in it.
Although he hasn’t seen the content yet, the cover alone has attracted Wang Ming. He is good at analysis and quickly came up with some useful information. This novel is still a martial arts novel, but the cover has tall buildings, which shows that the setting is not ancient times.
, but modern cities, modern urban martial arts novels? It’s not that there are none on the market, but there are very few. If they want to become classics, there are almost none.
He looked at the introduction of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" again, and saw that it was - the collision of Chinese martial arts and modern firearms, the world was in chaos, and the rise of dragons and snakes. An ordinary boy named Dynasty, after 15 years of hard training, 107 games
In the martial arts competition, 87 people gave instructions, learned about mountains and rivers, learned about the sun and moon, and finally evolved to the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts.
This is not over yet. There are four more illustrations on the homepage, but they are all covered and not uncovered. However, there are words on the back of each one, written from left to right:
"Break the void, see that God is not bad, I will be the pinnacle - Dynasty"
"Don't see or hear, feel the danger and avoid it, the way to be sincere - Tang Zichen"
"Mysterious, devoted to seeking truth, God among men——GOD"
"The emperor's star is floating, the whole world is in rebellion, the king of martial arts is the crazy demon Ba".
These few words actually made Wang Ming's blood boil. He had a premonition that this novel would be completely different from all martial arts novels. It might even create a genre. Moreover, the word "guoshu" was mentioned in the introduction. He had previously
I've never heard of it, and even when I searched online, I couldn't find it.
Fortunately, many people are already discussing it in the novel comment area, and there are explanations for the term "guoshu".
"I have seen many people saying that the author made up the word "guoshu". After all, I can't find it on the Internet, let alone an explanation. Let me help the author clarify. 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 is too routine-based, so many people jokingly call it dance, while national martial arts is a martial art that only kills enemies without performing. This is national martial arts."——
“Southern California Soda”
"A national martial art that only kills enemies without performing? Indeed, the current Chinese martial arts has gradually become a showpiece. In terms of popularity around the world, it is not only far behind RB Judo and Thai Muay Thai, but even Korean Taekwondo has become popular in recent decades.
However, the Chinese martial arts, which have been passed down for thousands of years, are on the decline. Perhaps we need to clear up the source and return to the essence of martial arts in order to regain the glory of martial arts. And 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 scrolled from top to bottom, basically looking forward to it. Although the text has not been uploaded yet, it is very topical.
"I feel like I'm going to explode. Those four character illustrations that I haven't opened yet are so awesome. These few words make my whole body burn. They all look so awesome."
"I can definitely say that Dynasty is the protagonist, a cool and awesome character. Not surprisingly, Tang Zichen should be the heroine (females are so awesome). The other two GOD and Crazy Demon Ba should be the villains, opponents of Dynasty.
One is a god among men, and the other is the king of martial arts. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil. What kind of scene will it be like when they fight?"
"I'm worried that the author describes the martial arts scenes like in "Hero", using Spring and Autumn style of writing! There are no moves at all, let alone the literary style of ecstasy, just simple and straightforward moves like white crane spreading its wings and monkey stealing peaches.
No, author, you need to give me some help!"
"The collision of martial arts and firearms! The reason why modern martial arts are rare is because it is difficult to write about the battle between martial arts and firearms. People have practiced hard for twenty years, but in the end, a teenager killed him with a pistol.
, it’s such a crappy writing, it doesn’t feel satisfying at all. I admire the author for daring to challenge this difficult level! I hope it can be written in a reasonable and reasonable way.”
... Judging from the reactions of these readers, Tang Shuang already has a relatively deep fan base after the foreshadowing of "Heroes". Coupled with the new setting and topicality of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", I believe that when this book really begins
