Chapter 893: Five Wonders (Second Update)

Views:

In fact, the printing speed of the Silver Blue Book Library is not that slow. After being out of stock for less than two days, major bookstores quickly replenished their supplies.

This is the fifth day since the release of The Legend of the Condor Heroes!

This time there was no embarrassment of being sold out, and the shelves of major bookstores were stocked with plenty of copies of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

In such a big commotion, the media certainly cannot remain silent.

For example, Qinzhou News did a special report early in the morning.

The show begins.

The host then introduced the situation in a broadcasting voice:

"The famous writer Chu Kuang recently released a new work, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which is about martial arts. As we all know, except for Zhao Zhou, martial arts novels don't have a big market in Blue Star. This is a recognized unpopular theme. However, such an unpopular theme was sold out in major bookstores within three days of its release. It was not until this morning that the book was restocked. Let's see what magic this martial arts novel has for readers..."

As the announcer explained, the scene jumped to the entrances of major bookstores.

The names of famous bookstores across the country, such as Huaxin Bookstore, Longxiang Bookstore, and Jing'an Bookstore, flashed on the screen one by one.

Accompanied by close-ups of various covers of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the shelves.

Off-site reporters randomly interviewed customers at the bookstore entrance.

"I'm here to buy The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

A male customer waved the book in his hand towards the camera.

The reporter asked a standard question: "Do you like to read martial arts novels?"

The male customer nodded and shook his head, and spoke again in the confusion of the reporter: "I like martial arts, but I don't read martial arts novels anymore. I find this theme boring after reading too much. But the day before yesterday, my buddy bought a copy of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and I flipped through a few pages, and I was completely attracted..."

“What attracts you?”

"Of course it is good. I can't say more specifically, but I just think this martial arts novel is different from other martial arts novels."

The screen flickered again.

Also interviewed a few passers-by.

"This book is so hard to buy. I finally got it with great difficulty!"

"I don't know if it's good or not, but since so many people recommend it online, it shouldn't be bad."

"I have confidence in the old thief. If everyone says it's good, then it must be good."

"I don't have time for interviews. I'm going to buy The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

This is a scene that can be seen everywhere in front of major bookstores. As more and more people get their hands on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the Condor Heroes fever has finally reached its climax!

At home.

Bookstore room.

In the subway.

Within the company.

Even in a tense class, there were people sneaking a peek at the newly bought "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

A certain university.

A boy in the audience was studying The Legend of the Condor Heroes diligently. He was so immersed in the world of martial arts that he completely forgot that this was a classroom.

Sudden.

Someone next to me asked, “Is this book good?”

The boy said without even looking up: "Of course!"

Phew.

There was laughter all around.

The boy then realized something was wrong and looked up blankly, only to meet the professor's serious face.

"Professor Wang..."

The boy quickly put away "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and stood up consciously. He was embarrassed and nervous, his face turned pale.

Professor Wang is scary!

As a professor of literature, what Professor Wang hates most is students reading idle books that have little literary value.

Fantasy literature such as martial arts novels is even less likely to catch Professor Wang's eye.

Not only did I read this kind of book today, but I was also in the other person's class. You can imagine the storm I will face.

The other students gradually stopped laughing.

Given Professor Wang's style, wouldn't he be furious if someone read a martial arts novel in his class

However.

Just when everyone thought that Professor Wang would get angry about this.

Professor Wang actually picked up the book The Legend of the Condor Heroes from the boy's hand, and then raised it up and asked everyone:

“Have you all read this book?”

No one dared to answer, and they all lowered their heads and pretended to be dead.

Professor Wang laughed: "You haven't read this book yet? Isn't it too outdated? An old man like me has almost finished reading it!"

Huh

Everyone was stunned, and then they all said, "We have seen it!"

Professor Wang laughed even more heartily: "This class talks about the symbolic meaning of literary creation and the creative methods and techniques. Since you have all read this book, I can just talk to you about this aspect."

The students in the audience suddenly widened their eyes!

The sun rises from the west

Professor Wang has also watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"

Judging from this attitude, it seems that you have a good impression of this novel

Didn’t Professor Wang used to be full of disdain for martial arts novels

What’s going on

Amid the students' curiosity, Professor Wang returned to the podium.

He still holds The Legend of the Condor Heroes in his hand:

"I know what you are thinking. I really don't like martial arts novels. The key to martial arts is the word 'xia'. However, 99% of the martial arts novels on the market only know about fighting and killing. They put the focus on the word 'wu', but don't know that xia breaks the law with martial arts. The so-called grand and vigorous revenge is nothing more than a makeshift group called Jianghu. They have no regard for the law and only have self-restrained moral standards. Sometimes they are right, but not always. But they always think they are right. This kind of idealistic moral standard can easily teach children bad things. The self that is inadvertently revealed is cheaply labeled as a hero, which is the most terrifying."

The subject suddenly changed.

Professor Wang continued, "However, there are a few martial arts novels that know that chivalry is the key point of martial arts, such as Can Yang, Duan Qingshan and other martial arts masters, and Chu Kuang's The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Even Chu Kuang's novel carries a better artistic conception of chivalry and its excellent literary realm than Zhao Zhou's two great writers. This is my personal opinion, but I believe that people in the literary world will agree with it."

“Do you think The Legend of the Condor Heroes is literature?”

A student in the audience spoke in shock.

Although everyone likes "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", isn't it a bit exaggerated to classify a fantasy novel as a literary work

It seems like everyone likes those fast-paced and refreshing online novels.

But I like it.

Online writing is online writing, and literature is literature. The two cannot be confused, and readers are well aware of this.

"I think so."

Professor Wang smiled faintly: "This statement from my mouth may be criticized, but I insist on thinking so. Why don't you answer me a question first, do you know the Five Wonders?"

"Know!"

The students in the audience started to speak.

Almost everyone in the Department of Literature has read The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Everyone’s interest in this kind of class far exceeds the knowledge in books!

As for the five unique talents

Anyone who has read this book knows about the top martial arts masters such as the East Evil, West Poison, South Emperor and North Beggar in the book.

"very good."

Professor Wang put The Legend of the Condor Heroes on the podium:

"Then do you know why Huang Yaoshi is called the East Evil, Ouyang Feng is called the West Poison, Master Yideng is called the South Emperor, and Hong Qigong is called the North Beggar? Why not the Winter Poison, the West Evil, or something like that? Why is it called this location?"

The students looked at each other.

Why is it something like Ashes of Time

Isn’t this something Chu Kuang just made up

Isn’t it because it rhymes more when read this way and sounds the most domineering when shouted

Seeing the students' reactions, Professor Wang sighed:

"You have all returned to me all the knowledge I taught you before. Do you remember the five elements and eight trigrams we talked about before?"

Five elements

Gossip

The students became increasingly confused.

We have learned this before, but this thing doesn’t seem to be related to the Five Wonders of the West, right
