Ding Feng brought his grandson Ding Ji to see Lu Mingyi. He was excited about his new work. He didn't want to be told by Lu Mingyi that he couldn't do it, and then by Tang Shuang. He felt depressed.

Lu Mingyi clearly recognized what he said just now, and his attitude towards Tang Shuang became much cordial.

Lu Mingyi: "Just now Ding Feng said that your father and Liu Weiru quarreled at the meeting over your book? What book of yours?"

Tang Shuang: "The book I'm writing is called "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", which is about Chinese martial arts."

Lu Mingyi: "Kuoshu? I can also do it!"

Tang Shuang was shocked. This old gentleman was actually a senior in the martial arts world?

However, Lu Yingying smiled and said: "My grandfather's martial art is health-preserving Tai Chi, not the kind of beating people."

Lu Mingyi laughed when he heard this.

This old man!

Wei Daqun immediately explained to Lu Mingyi what happened at the meeting, and also put in a few words of praise for Tang Shuang, saying that his novel "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" should not be viewed one-sidedly, but that the shining points and social significance of it must be seen.

Lu Mingyi nodded, without expressing his opinion, and asked Wei Daqun: "On the phone just now, you said you would bring me an article, hoping to publish it in "Chinese Literature". What article?"

Tang Shuang handed "The Soul-Breaking Gun" to Lu Mingyi, and the old man took it and started reading it again.

It was not easy for him either. He was very old and his eyesight was dim. He had just read Ding Ji's novel and wanted to read it again without taking a long break.

Fortunately, "The Soul-Destroying Gun" is very short, and Lu Mingyi finished it quickly.

"You wrote it?"

Tang Shuang: "I wrote it."

"How long did it take to write?"

"Four hours."

"...and what about ideas?"

"It just took four hours of additional thinking."

Lu Mingyi immediately picked up "Soul-Breaking Gun" and glanced at it quickly: "Four hours of conceiving and writing, young people are really quick in thinking."

Tang Shuang said she didn't dare to take it.

Lu Mingyi: "If you dare to take it seriously or not, when I praise someone, I mean it with all my heart, just like when I criticize someone, I mean it with all my heart."

Ding Ji looked unhappy and looked at Lu Yingying, only to find that the goddess's eyes fell on Tang Shuang again.

Tang Shuang: "Mr. Lu praised me very well. I am indeed quick-witted. I am not being modest anymore."

When Lu Mingyi heard this, he rarely smiled. Ding Ji saw Lu Yingying's smiling eyes, and his smile seemed to burst out.

Ding Feng was curious and asked Lu Mingyi for the "Soul-Destroying Spear".

He was convinced that his grandson's novel was derogated by Lu Mingyi, but Tang Shuang's novel was praised so much. The difference was too big. He had to see it with his own eyes, otherwise it would be difficult to be convinced.

However, after reading just one page, I was convinced. It is indeed better than Ding Ji's. The language has charm and the meaning is unclear, but it is meaningful and thought-provoking. After reading the whole story, I only have admiration in my heart.

"The Tang family father and son are incredible, Mr. Lu, I can't even write this "Soul-Destroying Gun" right now."

After Ding Feng finished speaking, he handed it to Ding Ji and asked him to learn from it.

Ding Ji was speechless after reading it, and then handed it to Lu Yingying, who was clamoring to read it too.

Lu Mingyi: "How could I think of writing a short story about Chinese martial arts? The image of the sand dragon is difficult for someone who is not experienced to write it."

Tang Shuang: "Some people say that Chinese martial arts means fighting and killing, which is violence. I wrote this article "Soul-Breaking Gun" to tell the Chinese people that Chinese martial arts is not only an external skill, but also a spiritual state.

A treasure born from the essence of thousands of years of culture.”

Ding Feng asked: "Spiritual realm?"

Tang Shuang said: "Yes, it is the spiritual realm. For example, the three people in "Soul-Breaking Gun" represent three different martial arts realms. Wang Sansheng can bluff laymen with his strength and strength.

There is no inner strength, let alone inner spiritual cultivation.”

"Old man Sun has excellent internal strength. He competed with Wang Sansheng in martial arts. He stared at the tip of Wang's spear with great power. His eyes seemed to suck the tip of the spear in. Before he could catch the weapon, Wang Sansheng felt weak. He handed it over.

Come on, old man Sun will try his best and beat Wang Sansheng to a pulp."

"From the perspective of martial arts, Old Man Sun has already entered the palace, but compared to Sha Long, he is still far behind, because at the spiritual level, they are too different."

Lu Mingyi nodded and continued: "There is no actual description of Sha Shalong's martial arts in the novel. It is all fictional. The real person is not shown, and the writing is very clever."

Tang Shuang said: "For Sha Shalong, Chinese martial arts is not only his martial arts, but the humanistic spirit inherent in Chinese martial arts is his soul belief and spiritual support. When times are bad, he cannot let it become a street sideshow and cannot lose his integrity.

Flow with the filth!”

Wei Daqun continued: "So he sighed, not to pass~ not to pass~ The implication is clearly that it must be passed! It must be passed! Only when time comes, the martial arts will return to the elegant hall, and when the time comes to show off its talents for the glory of the traditional Chinese cultural spirit, Sha Shalong

It will definitely be passed on, of course it must be passed on! Otherwise, why would he be practicing the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Gun all night long?"

After Lu Yingying finished reading, she blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Tang Shuang and said, "But if the Sand Dragon is not passed down, wouldn't the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Gun be lost?"

Tang Shuang thought for a while and said: "Sometimes dignity is more precious than life, let alone a shot."

Wei Daqun said: "This is not just a Five Tiger Soul-Severing Gun, it represents the Chinese martial arts of that era, and the confusion of where to go in an era when cold weapons are gone forever."

Except for Ding Ji, everyone else at the scene talked about the rise of Chinese martial arts. Even the quiet girl Lu Yingying was very interested. She seemed to have discovered a whole new world. In her previous understanding, Chinese martial arts meant fighting, killing, and fighting.

The skill of winning a strong fight.

Ding Feng said: "The rise of martial arts novels has shown that Chinese martial arts are being revived again. What was once thrown away will always be picked up and carried forward. I heard that Xiaoshuang's "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" has over 100 million clicks on the Internet.

Already?"

Everyone was shocked! Over 100 million clicks? What kind of concept is this? It’s too scary.

Liu Weiru said yesterday that the click-through rate of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" exceeded 100 million, which was wrong. The actual click-through rate was just over 90 million. Liu Weiru deliberately rounded up the number for the sake of effect.

Even though it’s not over 100 million, the click rate of 90 million is very scary.

While Tang Shuang was visiting Lu Mingyi, a monthly ticket war was in full swing on the Star Literature website.

Last month "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" ranked fourth in the monthly ticket rankings, but book fans were dissatisfied and thought it should be at least in the top three, surpassing the previous one "I Am a Passerby". This directly led to an outburst of fans of the two books.

The quarrel ended after Li Haonan calmed her down.

This month's competition for the monthly ticket rankings is even more fierce, but this time the opponent of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" is no longer "I Am a Passerby" - this book ranks third, but it is more than 30,000 monthly tickets behind the top two.

Currently, the first one is "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", and the second one is a fantasy work called "Cultivation Civilization".

The difference between the two is only 500 monthly tickets, and the rankings may be reversed at any time.

——

When Tang Shuang and Wei Daqun left, Lu Mingyi left "The Soul-Breaking Spear" behind. This short story will be published in the November issue of "Chinese Literature".

Lu Yingying saw them off and when they parted, she smiled and said, "Come and sit here often when you have time."

Wei Daqun smiled and didn't say anything. He had to know someone. When Miss Lu was talking, her beautiful eyes were fixed on the young man beside him.

This teahouse was opened by Lu Yingying’s grandmother. Lu Yingying would often accompany Lu Mingyi here to drink tea and read books.
