Chapter 301: The Expensive Paper in Luzhou

Journey to the West, which was slowly shaped by Xue Mu while telling stories to his “wives and daughters” on the road, and played an important role in gathering the inclination of the Blameless Temple after arriving at Luzhou, was supposed to be released to the world a few days ago, but was squeezed by the daily newspaper’s production capacity and delayed until today.

The Blameless Temple was not very creative in its distribution and promotion, and they followed Xue Mu’s original template of publicizing through storytelling first. The book-telling was still using Xue Mu’s designated licensee, Windstorm House, and was the first positive-devil cooperation between Blameless Temple and Traceless Dao.

After dinner, Windstorm House.

Three or two tea drinkers entered the building to drink tea, while talking about today’s daily newspaper, as well as some off-site gossips, whoever went after the reporter again without knowing how to die, and then got beaten up, etc., the atmosphere was joyful.

“That said, these demonesses walked onto the stage, only to realize that each and every one of them is very cute, no wonder those who think they have some qualifications are stupid.”

“Haha, that’s right, used to say that the Star and Moon demonesses are scary, but now it seems to be very interesting, there are a lot of ways to tease people, but they don’t hurt anyone. A lot of people were teased the next day still happy to continue.”

“Do not hurt people mostly because Xue Mu control it, otherwise the good situation to be bad. I really think that the demonesses have changed their mind to Buddha, and they are ruthless.”

“That’s right, these people really don’t know what it means to be a demoness? On the face with you smiling, still really think there is a game?”

“A willingness to fight a willing, so that’s it, maybe some of them are really eye to eye, not a beautiful story.”

“I think most of them are Xue Mu’s harem, so it’s hard to see eye to eye.”

“Do you really think that Xue Mu is covered in that stuff?”

“Hahaha, that’s hard to say, I think Xue Mu has at least tasted it, right?”

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve tasted it, the little demonesses are really willing to leave the pavilion, and there are plenty of people willing to take over.”

Each tea table has a copy of today’s freshly released daily newspaper, many people who can’t buy the newspaper themselves, specially come to drink tea and read the newspaper, while exchanging ideas with their friends, becoming the standard customer attraction program of many teahouses in Lushu. From the look of the windstorm building, the effect is very good, soon full of customers, bustling.

Many people did not personally experience the merits of Xue Mu’s presence in Luzhou, relieving the plague catastrophe, but rather, he brought a brand new entertainment experience to the people of Luzhou, which was a visible change. This is a visible change. The people of Luzhou have a very good impression of Xue Mu, and talk about these things with a smile, as a wind and moon capital to talk about, the original jealousy is not much left.

“Bang Bang!” The teahouse center of the storytelling platform stood an old man, letter hand patted the wake up wood: “Gentlemen, today say new book ah.”

“Huh? That what ‘Legend of the Dragon Ao Tian’ hasn’t finished speaking yet, right?”

“That’s right, how come it’s a new one?”

“It doesn’t matter, who listens to that crap book, let’s talk about today’s ring.”

The old man laughed on the stage: “This time the new book is the new work of the one you all talked about, sure you don’t want to listen?”

The arena was quiet for a moment, and soon roared, “This means that Xue Mu has come out with another new work, ah? I want to hear it I want to hear it, this guy is fun as hell.”

“Now it also means that it’s publicized that the Three Good Xue Sheng is Xue Mu, right?”

“Nonsense, what’s the point of hiding this, who else doesn’t know?”

Many people were laughing: “It’s strange to say that, among the big shots of the top sects of righteousness and devilry, every other one of them is a legend and unattainable, how come this one gives people such a close feeling.”

“That is, vaguely remember his little yellow text yo, chicken bang hard.”

A piece of laughter, the old man slapped the waking wood: “Today’s talk is the second long chapter and verse masterpiece of Sanhao Xuesheng, Journey to the West.”

The bustling voices slowly quieted down, half of those who often drank tea at the teahouse were fans of Xue Mu’s books, and even if they weren’t, that part of them had a very good impression of Xue Mu, and were quite giving face to him.

“But it is said that the Eastern Victory Divine Continent has a Aorai country, the country is near the East China Sea, there is a mountain in the sea, called the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits …….”

I thought that Xue Mu would make another jianghu story, but I didn’t expect that it would actually be a mythological story, and this novel legend of the spirit monkeys quickly attracted people’s hearts and minds. As the story unfolded, the looks of the people who gave face to the book gradually changed, their hearts tickled by the magical monkey.

The same is storytelling, this world’s crude storytelling techniques, compared to this spirit monkey, that is really a heaven and a earth, giving people an experience that is far too different.

The monks of the Blameless Temple could see that this was an excellent work, and could also see the spreading effect on the Way of the Blameless Temple, but no matter how much they overestimated this work, they could not accurately cognize what kind of horrifying grade it really was.

How could they have imagined that this strange book was the crystallization of the wisdom of an ancient land in another world, and that in China, where the literary style had prevailed since ancient times, it could still become one of the Four Great Masterpieces under the great waves and be immortalized for thousands of years? It can be imagined that in this kind of world where novels have only just sprouted, the grade in the world of novels is simply like the specification of the Zhenshi Nine Tripods, which is really enough to suppress a world and shine for the ages.

The entire book’s form of expression was already different. Settings involving Buddhist and Taoist allusions had already been magically altered to fit this world during Xue Mu’s storytelling, and after being translated into words by the pro-guard girls, there was no more textual sculpting of the originals, and many of the places that should have been expressed in poems and lyrics had been turned into the vernacular. After all, poems and songs are still ungrounded in this world, only Xiao Qingwu’s literate sister can be blown away by the song “Bu San Zi”, the general public most likely can’t accept it.

But even with all the changes, the literary nature has weakened by a notch, and it still doesn’t hinder the splendor of the story itself and the depth of the kernel, but rather, it is more in tune with the needs of this world in terms of presentation.

Xue Mu didn’t completely cancel the poems, and he still remembers some of the poems that have been widely circulated in modern times, such as this one by a monkey on his way to seek the Way: “When will you stop fighting for fame and fortune? Early rising and late sleeping are not free. Riding a donkey or mule, he thinks of a horse, and as a prime minister, he looks forward to being a prince. I only worry about food and clothes, but I am afraid that the king of hell will take the hook. I am afraid that the king of hell will take the hook. I want to succeed my children and grandchildren to be rich and famous, but none of them is willing to turn back.”

The expression is easy to understand, but catchy, which contains the meaning of only in the first glance on the conquest of Yuan Zhong, not to mention the perennial in the Buddhist culture under the people of Luju, just such a song things, actually let the tea guest nearly half involuntarily stood up.

“That ancestor said: ‘With you a legal name is called Sun Wukong, okay?’ The Monkey King laughed and said: ‘Good, good, good! From now on, I will be called the Monkey King! It’s exactly the same: In the beginning, there was no last name, but the Monkey King had to be realized to break the stubbornness of the sky. I don’t know what kind of fruits to cultivate in the future, let’s listen to the explanation next time.”

The audience was silent.

This was the first time in this world that no one cursed during “Let’s listen to the next explanation”, instead, they were all caught up in the Zen question of “Breaking the stubborn emptiness must realize the emptiness”, and could not speak for a long time.

The old storyteller narrowed his eyes.

He was an assassin of the Traceless Dao, and was not interested in this kind of Zen theory, but he knew exactly why this book had shocked the entire Wu Gui Temple, treating Xue Mu as a VIP that would not be encountered in a thousand years.

Because this book, from top to bottom from the inside out, even the name of the protagonist, is the Dao of the Blameless Temple.

At the same time, it was also the Dao that the people of Heron State were widely exposed to.

Taking the Dao that everyone valued the most and incorporating it into a wonderful story was not the effect of one plus one equals two, a chemistry that no one could predict what kind of big bang there would be.

The old storyteller really didn’t know why Xue Mu had come up with a work that seemed to be tailor-made for the Blameless Temple, but he knew that this book was going to cause a tsunami, at least within the territory of Luzhou.

Heron State really had a tsunami.

When people knew that the full text had been released and could be purchased at the Liu family’s Wanzang Bookstore, the two to three thousand copies of the Wanzang Bookstore’s stock was snapped up in the blink of an eye, and the bookstore was nearly demolished by people who came late to buy it.

The bookstore is really no way, they even other bookstore printing capacity are rented, two or three days in a row to work overtime to catch up with the printing, or not enough.

In fact, in this world, under the support of the technology of the Divine Mechanism Sect, the printing machinery is very strong, otherwise it is also incapable of supporting the printing of the kind of delicate portraits of the Xinsiu Spectrum Absolute Color Spectrum, and it is also impossible to support the output of the daily newspaper.

The problem now was not the capacity of the printing machinery, the most frightening thing was –

There was not enough paper.

Almost everyone’s demand for daily newspapers, coupled with a large part of the “Journey to the West”, the same is also scrambled for, many people can not buy or even take their own paper to transcribe, the amount of paper used like running water, heron state such a super large city, there is not enough paper!

Heron State paper is expensive!
