Entertainment Godfather

Chivalrous Magazine.

The atmosphere in this dilapidated magazine was as gloomy as usual.

Luo Dashan sat in the editor's office with a bitter look on his face, feeling helpless in his heart.

Zhou Hai resigned. The editor-in-chief of "Xia Ke Magazine" who had been working for many years finally couldn't stand it anymore and submitted his resignation to the headquarters.

Because the operation of "Xia Ke Magazine" has indeed reached the point of exhaustion, the headquarters readily approved Zhou Hai's resignation.

After Zhou Hai said goodbye to the editors of the magazine one by one, he took his wife and children on the train back to his hometown. The ups and downs in Tiandu in the past few years have all gone with him.

The successor as editor-in-chief was Luo Dashan.

However, Luo Dashan knew that he could only be the editor-in-chief for one month, because the headquarters had made it clear that if the magazine still sold only a hundred or so copies this month, the branch called "Xia Ke Magazine" would be completely disbanded.

Luo Dashan didn't think he could create a miracle and turn things around.

"I actually experienced the desolation of the last editor-in-chief."

Luo Dashan smiled bitterly and opened the editorial department's mailbox. There were only a few dozen manuscripts in it.

I remember when "Xia Ke Magazine" was first established, the editorial department's online mailbox received hundreds of submissions every day, but now...

Forcibly suppressing all kinds of emotions, Luo Dashan began to review the manuscript seriously.

Even if it's the last month, I can't feel sorry for my job. After years of hard work, I can't just give up just because the magazine is on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, due to the limited scale of the magazine, there will naturally be no famous writers submitting articles to "Xia Ke Magazine". Most of the submissions received by Luo Dashan are low-quality practice works, and most of the authors are newcomers with little experience.

Soon, Luo Dashan finished reading the first submission.

The mode is the same as usual, and the story is as lackluster as ever...

After reviewing several manuscripts in a row, Luo Dashan didn't see any interesting submissions.

"Is it possible that in the last month, we have to choose the bigger one from the short ones like before and forcefully choose a story that is reasonably logical?" Luo Dashan was a little unwilling, and continued to read the manuscripts one by one with a sigh of relief.

Nearly an hour later... Luo Dashan looked at these manuscripts dejectedly, feeling deeply powerless.

At this time, there was only the last submission left in the mailbox, but Luo Dashan suddenly lost interest in continuing to review it.

All the previous manuscripts were assembly-line works with no new ideas. They would be forgotten after reading them, and they could not even remember what they had just written. Luo Dashan did not think that this last manuscript would be any different.

He stood up and made a cup of tea. After taking a sip, he sighed and clicked on the last manuscript...

As soon as I clicked on the text, a familiar poem jumped into my sight - the white jade capital in the sky, the twelve cities on the fifth floor. Immortals caress my head, tie my hair and grant me immortality.

"It's so special that I used the masterpiece of the poet Li Bai as the beginning of the story." This novel beginning made Luo Dashan a little more interested, and he even looked back at the name of the work - "The Sword of Immortality".

You know, for the previous works, Luo Dashan reviewed them directly without even looking at the titles. This is the only manuscript that Luo Dashan was willing to look back at the titles of.

As he continued reading, Luo Dashan understood why the work begins with Li Bai's poem, because the male protagonist of this work is named Bai Yujing.

The sword of the male protagonist Bai Yujing is also taken from a poem and is called the "Sword of Eternal Life".

"The scabbard is old, and the satin wrapped around the hilt is also old. It's impossible to tell that he has any murderous intent. However, the sword in this old scabbard is terrifyingly sharp. This is the most terrifying sword in the world. Sword—Bai Yujing’s sword of longevity!”

"People in the world are afraid of Bai Yujing and Bai Yujing's sword. Because he is the only one who kills people, and no one can kill him."

When he saw this paragraph, Luo Dashan had already sat up straight, his breathing became slightly faster, and his eyes became brighter and brighter!

Luo Dashan has been an editor of martial arts novels for many years. Luo Dashan has long been tired of the clichés of martial arts novels, so this debut is an invincible setting, which immediately hits Luo Dashan's heart.

"What's going to happen next, please don't write it down!" Luo Dashan was now both worried and looking forward to it.

Because the protagonist is almost invincible when he debuts, has no goals and no direction, so the plot is difficult to control, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to write it.

Luo Dashan continued to read...

In the silent room, only breathing was not calm.

The second hand of the clock made a ticking sound, and the tea was getting cold.

Gradually, Luo Dashan seemed to have forgotten his identity as an editor and began to appreciate this work called "The Sword of Eternal Life" from a pure reader's perspective.

And as time passed bit by bit, and the plot continued to develop in depth with every page turn, Luo Dashan finally understood what the book really wanted to write about...

"Actually, the most terrifying thing about Bai Yujing is not his sword, but his smile. Because his smile has caused many big names in the world to be defeated by his sword, and his smile has also enabled him to escape death from other people's swords countless times. ”

This work seems to be about swords, but it is actually about the power of smile.

Life is always a scam, anything can happen and no one knows who will have the last laugh.

"As long as a person knows how to use his own strengths, he can knock someone down without using martial arts."

The heroine of "The Sword of Eternal Life" is Yuan Zixia. Unlike Bai Yujing, who has terrifying strength, she is a weak woman with no martial arts. Her strength is laughter - because of her laughter, martial arts masters of all sizes are easily defeated by her. No matter how sharp the sword is, it can't compare to that touching smile.

"So the first weapon I mentioned is not the sword, but laughter. Only laughter can truly conquer people's hearts. So when you understand this truth, you should put away your sword and smile more!"

…

After watching this work called "The Sword of Eternal Life", Luo Dashan felt as if a new door had been opened to the world of martial arts.

It was this novel that made him understand that martial arts could still be written like this, and it was also this novel that made him see a glimmer of hope for the rise of martial arts novels!

"A short and medium-length martial arts novel can actually contain philosophy. Not only is the story complete, it makes people sad to read it. Even from a literary point of view, it is impeccable..."

Luo Dashan stood up excitedly and was about to ask his colleagues outside to read the novel. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly stopped because he suddenly discovered...

Under "The Sword of Eternal Life", there is actually a novel.

It seems that this author did not just send one "Sword of Eternal Life".

Because of his excitement, he almost ignored another manuscript sent by the author.

The name of another novel is similar to "The Sword of Eternal Life", it is called - "Peacock Feather".
