Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 73 Pit

"what?"

When Taoist Priest Qingxu heard Zhou Huan's last words, his whole face changed.

Not because publishing the Wudang Changquan and the Thirteen Tai Chi Styles would reveal the foundation of the Wudang Sect, but because Zhou Huan can actually do this!

In a world without warriors, Confucian classics have become the mainstream in bookstores. Countless people study the classics in order to get ahead.

In this world, warriors are the pursuit of many people. Just one who can strengthen their body is enough to make ordinary people willing to practice both.

When you walk into a bookstore, you can see many martial arts secrets, but these publicly sold martial arts secrets have a fatal flaw, that is, it is difficult to identify the authenticity of them.

100 years ago, a traitor published the secret book of the Qingcheng Sect all over the world. He thought it would shake the foundation of the Qingcheng Sect, but who would have thought that the Qingcheng Sect also found people to print more than [-] different versions of the secret book. , there is almost no difference between the two, except for some minor text differences, except that you will become obsessed if you practice according to this book.

The Qingcheng Sect's response had a good effect. The genuine printing made it famous, while the piracy also made the Qingcheng Sect a lot of money, and it also stopped many people from wanting to reach the world in one step.

However, later generations evaluated the Qingcheng faction's actions, including the Qingcheng faction, who believed that their actions at that time were really stupid.

Genuine and pirated Qingcheng Sect secret books are distributed all over the world. Although many people are obsessed with it, there are also many people who have practiced martial arts with the genuine version. And those who have achieved success will always fail when they practice according to the book. It was discovered that there were many small problems, so some people went to the Qingcheng Sect.

In the past, the methods used by various sects to recruit apprentices were to go down the mountain to find apprentices with good skills, and then bring them back to teach them, or use a recommendation system, etc. However, this time the Qingcheng Sect is facing a surging flow of people.

These people can reach this level with just a few secret books, and there is no need for the Qingcheng Sect to train and invest money in the early stage!While loyalty is questionable, so many people make it easier to pick qualified talent.

The rise of the Qingcheng Sect began at that time. Unfortunately, all major sects soon learned the Qingcheng Sect's moves, or in other words, everyone published their own introductory methods, secret books, etc. to the world, hoping that those who are interested in practicing martial arts Choose their sect’s martial arts.

Take Wudang Changquan, introductory mental methods and meditation maps as an example. If a person spends several years or more than ten years practicing this, he will naturally not practice the mental methods of other sects to avoid conflicts. Then if he has If you want to take your talent to the next level, you will naturally go to the Wudang Sect for further study. However, the practice of bringing your own solid food for more than ten years has made the Wudang Sect reduce their investment a lot.

However, the lingering poison of the Qingcheng Sect has not been eliminated. In addition to printing their own martial arts secrets, various sects and even demon sects are also printing pirated books of other sects. The subtle differences in them can make people crazy, so that now various The owners of large bookstores will post notices on their doors, indicating that they have the ability to identify authentic and fake secret books.

No wonder!
Those masters who fabricate piracy are all elders of various sects. Can the masters of the versions they fabricate be detectable by ordinary people?A single sentence can be passed down in real words, but thousands of books can be falsely passed down. A small change is enough to make many people go crazy.

Several sects also want to reverse this situation, but martial arts schools in various places are very unhappy. Everyone just follows the book and learns it. So what will happen to their business?
The government doesn't want everyone in the world to practice martial arts, so they turn a blind eye to this kind of piracy. They even issued a ban, explicitly prohibiting major sects from opening stores in big cities to sell entry-level versions of martial arts secrets - there are always people who take advantage of small things. After buying pirated copies, some people have trouble with their families and come to the specialty store. Anyway, there is no difference in appearance between pirated copies and genuine ones, but they can kill people!

Nowadays, all major sects know that only a huge base can produce a large number of entry-level disciples, and then more masters will emerge among them, but how to promote their entry-level mental methods has always been a big problem.

But now, Zhou Huan has proposed a brand new solution.

The problem of piracy is difficult to eradicate, but it does not mean that there is no way out for genuine products. Simply put, there will always be people who practice piracy and die, but as long as we ensure that what most people see and practice are genuine, then all this will be easily solved.

At that time, the Qingcheng faction dominated the world within ten years and aspired to be the leader of the martial arts alliance within 30 years. If it hadn't been for doing too many evil things that angered Aunt Tang and killed 62 elders in a row, I'm afraid she would have become the number one in the world.If I had not fallen out with Zhou Huan, if I had taken advantage of that trend and published the Thirteen Postures of Tai Chi and Wudang Changquan...

"Where did Wang Huan not let go?"

The Wudang Clan sent people to the prison to test Zhou Huan several times, but Zhou Huan just said that since he was in prison, he could not help the Wudang Clan, and even expressed his willingness to give all his shares to the Wudang Clan— - Of course, this can only be heard as irony, and it can only mean that Zhou Huan has lost confidence in the Wudang Clan.

"Viewer, things have gotten serious. The Beijing News has published the full text of what happened in the past few days. Now there are crazy rumors outside that our Wudang Clan and the government conspired to annex Wang Huan's property and so on."

"what?"

The Beijing News is a newspaper that follows the trend. These days it publishes some legendary stories and gossip. Its sales are very poor, and it is ridiculed as a newspaper that will close down tomorrow.

When Zhou Huan was running the Beijing Times, he told his staff not to mention hot news that involved the government and officials, except for popular news, and even deliberately shortened the length of the news.

Several newspapers that followed the trend also adhered to this point to avoid getting into trouble with the government. But who would have thought that the Beijing News would dare to eat such a crab and publish a full-length report!
"Send someone to buy up today's Beijing News and try not to spread it to the market."

Qingjing Zhenren was browsing the Beijing News with a bad expression. Many of the plots in the newspaper were fictitious, but he grasped two points, that is, Zhou Huan was doing business in the first place and gave the Wudang Clan a large amount of protection money. The second is that the Wudang faction is really dark. They don't do anything after receiving money, and they want to swallow all the other party's assets.

The government didn't mention much. The Beijing News's cleverness prevented the government from finding any excuses.

"It's too late. Today's Beijing News sold like crazy and was out of stock everywhere. One of my brothers inquired and found out that the newspaper owner was so happy that he ordered a more detailed report tomorrow."

"Contact Prince Rui immediately. I will meet with him this afternoon."

Taoist Qingjing directly named the boss behind the Beijing News, but the disciple who came to report shook his head.

"The Beijing News has made money this time, and other newspapers will follow suit and publish similar articles about this matter..."

"Thousands of accusations, no disease."

A Taoist priest on the side suddenly said this, and then everyone present suddenly felt cold.

There are some evil heretics in the world who are actually not bad people and even act chivalrously. But if their reputations are ruined, it will never be clear. They will face all kinds of troubles throughout their lives. But what about the Wudang Clan now?
"You don't understand things about new media."

Zhou Huan's words appeared in Qingxu's mind.
