From being on the show with my ex, it started to explode

One week after "Journey to the West" was officially launched, the cumulative sales exceeded 8000 million copies.

As more and more people have read this book, more and more people are interpreting this book from various angles on the Internet.

One of the more widespread interpretations is the Dark Theory of Journey to the West.

"The king of Chechi State listened to the evil words of Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li, and monopolized Taoism in the country. He made all Buddhists obey Taoism and do hard labor. As a result, most of the Buddhists were tortured to death and committed heinous crimes. The crime reflects the stupid and cruel nature of the feudal rulers. They are stupid and cruel, and cruelly drive the people to do hard labor for them, regardless of whether they live or die, and make people live in dire straits..."

"Journey to the West is a magical and magical novel that not only describes the experiences of the four masters and disciples of Tang Monk, but also ruthlessly exposes and criticizes the dark social reality in feudal society, exposing the darkness of the feudal rulers' ignorance, cruelty and decadence. The rule and ruthless oppression, exploitation and oppression of the people have caused the people to suffer and live in dire straits. It is a novel that ruthlessly exposes the dark rule of the feudal rulers..."

It is also said that the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng are actually the same person.

"The body of Jin Chanzi who was reincarnated for ten lives and practiced for the tenth life is Tang Monk.

"The nine skulls on Sha Monk's neck are the physical endings of Jin Chanzi's 9st to 1th life.

"On the way to obtain the scriptures, if Tang Seng is not determined enough and doesn't work hard enough, he will definitely not be able to reach the Western Heaven and obtain the true scriptures, so Wukong is the incarnation of Tang Seng in this aspect.

"If Tang Seng was on the way to learn scriptures, did he hesitate, did he leak it, and did he think about women? The answer is definitely yes, so Zhu Bajie is the incarnation of Tang Seng's direction.

"Of course, if you don't work hard and bear no complaints, you won't be able to obtain the true scriptures, so Sha Seng is also the embodiment of this aspect of Tang Seng.

"So the four masters and apprentices are actually different aspects of the same person. They have different identities and different perspectives, but they are indeed the same person.

“It means that if you keep your mind focused on ape, you will realize the emptiness; if you tie your mind, your horse will transform into a dragon; if you abstain from greed and lust, there are eight abstinences; if you abstain from killing and eating, you will achieve pure enlightenment…

There is also a chapter about the real and fake Monkey King. The one killed was not the six-eared macaque, but Sun Wukong.

The real Sun Wukong has died long ago, and it is the six-eared macaque who has been participating in the journey to the west.

"Since the appearance of the real and fake Monkey King, Sun Wukong has become extremely well-behaved. His image is completely different from his image of hitting him with a stick if he doesn't agree with a few words."

But in fact, if you read the original text carefully, the six-eared macaque is actually a monkey with two hearts.

Some people even wrote "Journey to the West" in reverse script.

"The Tathagata sent four masters and disciples with the Eight Heavenly Books and Little White Dragon to preach in the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty. They encountered various monsters along the way. After beating them, they found that they all had a back-up, and no matter how evil they did, they would not be punished. punish.

"Bajie and Sha Seng thought it was too dark, so they had no choice but to hide in Gaolaozhuang and the other into the Liusha River. Only Wukong insisted on justice and killed demons along the way and escorted his master to the east to preach.

"In the end, Heaven couldn't bear Wukong anymore and reached an agreement with Tathagata - we can ensure that Tang Sanzang reaches Chang'an safely, but you have to deal with Sun Wukong, the thorny one. Tathagata agreed. After some conspiracy, Bailong was seriously injured. Falling into the mountain stream, Wukong was defeated and was crushed under the Wuzhi Mountain.

"Tang Sanzang abandoned Sun Wukong and came to Chang'an alone. After preaching in Chang'an, he was named his imperial disciple, enjoyed the glory and wealth, and died in peace.

"After five hundred years like this, Wukong finally escaped from Wuzhi Mountain without saying a word, turning the heaven upside down. The heaven was forced to agree to let Zhu Bajie turn into a human body, and he was named Marshal Tianpeng, and Monk Sha was named General Curtain Curtain, as long as they can kill Sun Wukong.

"In the end, Wukong, who was frustrated because of his brother's fratricide, went to find Patriarch Bodhi to solve his doubts. Then he sealed his cultivation, threw the Ruyi Golden Cudgel into the East China Sea and turned it into the Dinghai Divine Needle. He returned to Huaguo Mountain and accompanied him Monkey Monkey Sun lived an ordinary life, and finally turned into a stone on the top of Huaguo Mountain..."

"Journey to the West" can be said to be popular, completely popular.

Now there are voices all over the country discussing "Journey to the West".

Everyone took out all the monsters in each chapter and conducted various identity interpretations.

Suddenly, posts were flying all over the place.

Everyone has completely stirred up this topic.

Countless emoticons and memes are being refreshed all over the Internet.

Everyone fell into the carnival of Journey to the West.

Many suppressed lower-class migrant workers vent their dissatisfaction through Journey to the West.

They brought their own experiences into "Journey to the West" to their heart's content.

Especially when he brings his own experiences to those monsters who are at the bottom of the cultivator.

They don't have a backstage, and they actually don't do anything bad.

But still on the way to obtain scriptures, the four masters and disciples were killed because they blocked their progress.

Numerous interpretations abound.

For a time, "Journey to the West" became a fashion in the entire Chinese cultural circle.

Whether everyone is participating in a cultural salon or a book club, the focus of discussion is "Journey to the West".

If you haven't watched "Journey to the West", if you can't name one or two monsters you like in it.

So sorry, you can't participate in our discussion.

To put it more bluntly, you just haven’t kept up with current fashion at all, and you don’t deserve to be with us.

The current interpretation of "Journey to the West" has become a trend among the entire circle of scholars.

Yuan Sizhi has been invited to participate in several cultural salons in the past two days, all of which were about interpretation of "Journey to the West".

He has turned down three of them.

But those who came over to invite him came one after another.

Even more than the previous two days.

Today's event, because the inviter had a relatively high social status, he really couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and come to participate.

The people present were all scholars from the cultural circle, and they were all people with status and status.

Several of them like Song Ci's "Journey to the West" very much.

Then I heard that Yuan Sizhi and Song Ci were not getting along well. One of the big guys was smoking a cigar, crossing his legs, looking at Yuan Sizhi with a smile, and said:

"Teacher Yuan, you should have read the most popular "Journey to the West" right now. I would especially like to know your opinion on this book. I believe that a cultural person like you will have an extraordinary interpretation of this book!"

What this boss said actually has a murderous and heart-wrenching meaning.

Even though Yuan Sizhi was fifty or sixty years old, he still couldn't help but find it difficult to breathe when facing people whose social status was much higher than his own.

After hesitating for a while, he said slowly:

"The writing style of "Journey to the West" itself is very good. The poems in it are well written, and some of the sentences describing the scenery are so refreshing..." Yuan Sizhi couldn't help but feel guilty about Song Dynasty's "Journey to the West" 》praised.

But he still thinks he has kept his bottom line.

He did not praise the content of the book "Journey to the West", but praised the text of the book "Journey to the West".

But what he said fell into the eyes of the boss... and the boss couldn't help but laugh.

The boss held a cigar in one hand, his legs shaking, and his eyes slightly leering at Yuan Sizhi.

The boss' hand holding the cigar gently reached forward, pointed at Yuan Sizhi, then turned his head and said lightly to the people around him:

"Look, this is a scholar! Don't be so pedantic in your studies. Learn from other Song poetry teachers. They have achieved such great achievements at a young age, but they are neither humble nor arrogant!"

This boss is none other than the helmsman of the Star Group.

That is Shen Xi’s father, Mr. Shen.

He has always liked Song poetry.

In the past two days, I heard that Yuan Sizhi was rude to Song Ci, so I put a little pressure on him today.

After Yuan Sizhi left the cultural salon, he pinched his stiff wrist and his eyes became sharper.

He has lived for so many years, especially in the past 20 years, he has always been a big boss in this circle, and he has always been praised by others.

Today he has eaten a turtle.

But facing Mr. Shen, he was helpless.

Because the gap between the other party's specifications and my own is really too big.

With the size of Starry Sky Group in China, if the other party wants to deal with me...

Yuan Sizhi shook his head and did not dare to think any further.

I really didn't expect that this boy Song Ci could actually get into the eyes of such a top boss.

Although he was very unwilling in his heart, after suffering such humiliation at this moment, Yuan Sizhi wanted to shave off Song Ci's bones and dig out his heart.

But he also knew that he could never expose his disdain for Song Ci in public again.

Even at this moment, he should immediately turn his gun and attack Luan Shuren.

To express my love for Song Ci works.

In this way, I might be able to eliminate my bad impression with Mr. Shen.

On the other side, with the popularity of "Journey to the West", everyone is discussing this book.

Of course, there are many voices about "Journey to the West" around Luan Shuren.

This old man can't hear the sound of "Journey to the West" at all now.

So when he was participating in some activities, if anyone mentioned "Journey to the West" to him, he couldn't help but slap the table and say:

"Okay, shut up, haven't you read any books? What's the nutrition of this best-selling book? Read our Chinese classics, do you know?"

"The best thing to do is to draw nourishment from our Chinese classics. Haven't you always admired poetry written by the Song Dynasty?

"Look at how many of the poems and songs of the Song Dynasty were absorbed from our classical cultural classics. You should also know like him. As for the "Journey to the West" written by the Song Dynasty, there is nothing interesting to read, so there is no need to waste it. It’s time!”

Luan Shuren's words made everyone in the audience tremble with fear.

"This old man is so brave. Now that Song Ci is gaining momentum, he actually dares to criticize other people's Song Ci here!"

"I really don't know what this old guy is thinking. Did you record the video just now? You will post it online when you get back later, so that netizens can see this old guy's face!"

"No, look what this old guy is doing? Damn it, he's promoting his new book!"

As everyone's thoughts flickered, Luan Shuren held up the microphone and slowly took out a new book. The name of this book was "Far Mountains".

"Allow me to brag. My book "Far Mountains" is a story written 30 years ago.

"The number of words in the novel is not many, less than 20 words, which is much less than the Song Dynasty's "Journey to the West", but every word I wrote is indispensable.

“I described some human nature in it, the complexity and change of human nature, some darkness, some emotions between people and between people and things.

"I think this book surpasses all my previous works. I hope everyone will like this book."

Seeing him promoting his new book, everyone in the audience couldn't help but twitch their mouths and couldn't hold back.

And when the relevant information was posted online, it suddenly caused a stir.

"I'm going to say, why does this old guy keep criticizing Song Ci? It turns out that this is a reverse trend. I just finished scolding someone's Song Ci and took out my new book with my backhand. I'll put it here. , even dogs won’t read your new book!”

"This is really the first time I have seen such a self-proclaimed person. How can he brag about how awesome his writing is? Shouldn't it be published and let readers evaluate it? This old guy Luan Shuren is really What’s more, the more I live, the more I return. When I first won the award, it was a bit novel, but now I have completely fallen in love with money and want to make money!”

"It's too low to ride on the popularity of Song Ci at this level. What can you do with it? Isn't it just going to arouse everyone's resentment?"

People scolded me very much online.

But in fact, the popularity did catch the old guy Luan Shuren.

The popularity of his new book shot up immediately, and it achieved a sales record of more than 1 on the first day it was released.

This number is a result that none of his previously published books have achieved on their first day.

Seeing such first-day sales results, Luan Shuren's face almost broke out in laughter.

He sat in the office of the publishing house and said with a smile to the editor-in-chief of the publishing house:

"This time I really went out of my way, but fortunately I got 50 in the first round of sales. It seems that it is not impossible to break through 100 million sales!"

As he said this, an unprecedented smile appeared on his face.

When it came to money and face, he chose money without hesitation.

"Don't worry, boss. With our current popularity, we can easily sell 100 million copies!"

The editor-in-chief of the publishing house also seemed very excited.

They are a small publishing house, but this time they were able to sell 50 copies on the first day. For him, this result is also the best.

Soon, the two people's mean laughter echoed in the room. (End of chapter)
