Godly Super Star

The Deer and The Cauldron?

It was a nice name, but what did it mean?

Even though Xiao Yang was knowledgeable, it was hard for him to understand the meaning of < The The Deer and The Cauldron >. The name sounded somewhat ancient, but word for word, it would be hard to find anything useful in a short period of time.

With this thought, Xiao Yang became even more curious. To be able to produce such a unique title, perhaps this work really had its own unique features.

Although he did not have much hope, Xiao Yang still read it carefully from the beginning.

Bei Feng was as sharp as a saber, his body covered in a layer of frost.

On a large road near the seashore in Jiangnan, a group of Manchu soldiers holding swords and spears were escorting seven prison carts. They were charging towards the north with cold winds.

"In the first three carriages, three men were imprisoned, all dressed like scholars. One of them was an old man with white hair, the other two were middle-aged men …"

As a senior editor who had been in the job for more than ten years, with just a glance, he could feel the simplicity of the author's writing. However, his expression did not change at all, as all of this was not enough to attract him.

He continued to read.

"The scribe picked up the ink and wrote the word 'deer' on the paper. He said," Although deer are huge creatures, their temperaments are extremely calm. They only eat grass and leaves and never hurt other beasts. If the fierce beast wants to hurt it and eat it, it can only run away. If it can't run away, then it can only give it a hard time. "

He then wrote the words "Chasing Deer" and said, "Therefore, the ancients often used deer as a metaphor for the world. All the people in the world are meek and kind, only those who oppress others. The Han Dynasty said: "Qin lost his deer, the world is common." That is to say, the Qin Dynasty lost the world, and the masses rose up into the sky. Everyone fought over it, and in the end, Han Gao Ancestor defeated Chu Batian and obtained this fat and big deer. "

Seeing this, Xiao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. He faintly felt that the middle-aged scholar's words had some deeper meaning, but looking at it now, it seemed to be related to the name of the book.

Moreover, the author uses "deer" as a metaphor for the world, quotes from the classics, and is adept at handling it, which shows the profound foundation of the author's literature.

Seeing that, Xiao Yang was overjoyed, and continued to read, and even then, he had forgotten about his previous upheaval of emotions.

When he saw the middle-aged scholar draw out the shape of a cauldron on a piece of paper and then explain the meaning of "Asking the question to the center of the cauldron", he suddenly stood up and laughed. His eyes were already filled with appreciation.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is! "Chasing deer to the world, asking questions in the Central Plains, the ancients cooking deer to make the cauldron, secretly ruling the world, today someone is using a deer cauldron as the topic, what a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful thing!"

Seeing this, no matter how foolish Xiao Yang was, he could tell that the author was borrowing the middle-aged scholar's words to explain the meaning of the two words, "Deer Cauldron".

At this time, Xiao Yang was very curious about the author of < The The Deer and The Cauldron >. To be able to understand the history of the China, as well as to have a new understanding of the history of the < Legend of the China >, and thus be able to draw out his own title, seemed simple, but in reality, it required a lot of literary knowledge and accumulation of knowledge.

He had a faint feeling that this time, he had encountered a true expert!

Ten minutes later, Xiao Yang was already deeply attracted to [The Deer and The Cauldron].

Furthermore, the most unbelievable main character was actually the child of a prostitute. In ancient times, the status of a prostitute was very low, but the main character of "The Deer and The Cauldron" chose the child of a prostitute.

Looking further, Xiao Yang gradually understood why the author chose "Wei Xiaobao" as the main character.

First of all, he was born into a humble family and had been living in a brothel since he was so young. Here, the people of the three schools and five schools were mixed together, so he naturally matured very early, and his mind was full of the cunning and treachery of a small character.

Furthermore, although "Wei Xiaobao" had a strange and cunning personality, he had a scale in his heart, clearly distinguishing between right and wrong. He had a bottom line in his heart, which people couldn't help but like.

Reaching this point, Xiao Yang began to admire the author's courage.

In this era where martial arts were lacking, for someone to actually use such a unique method to write about new forms of martial arts, this was definitely a matter worthy of admiration. No matter if he succeeded or failed, Xiao Yang could guarantee that if this《 The Deer and The Cauldron》 was published, it would definitely stir up the world of martial artists in the China.

This time, Xiao Yang read the tens of thousands of words extremely seriously, afraid that he would miss a small plot or even a conversation.

He couldn't help but exclaim in praise at each event, so much so that the office burst into hearty laughter and praise from time to time.

Outside Xiao Yang's office.

Hearing the commotion, the various editors could not help but whisper to each other, their faces were filled with shock, not knowing what was going on with Xiao Yang.

"It's over. Director Xiao has gone insane!" A long-haired female editor who wore black-framed glasses said with sympathy.

"Why? How could Chief Editor Xiao lose his composure like this? Would he encounter any problems? " Some people were puzzled.

"Hehe, you probably don't know about this. Earlier, the magazine's sales review," Wuxia magazine "once again broke the lowest record, and it looks like it will be cancelled soon. As the old editor of "Martial Arts Compilation", he naturally couldn't bear to see "Martial Arts Compilation" disappear just like this. I heard that Director Xiao had already discussed this with Teacher Tan Ge earlier and asked him to come out and take charge of "Martial Arts Compilation". For the release of the new edition of "Martial Arts Compass", Director Xiao has used a lot of resources. Now that he's at the final step and is facing such a situation, who wouldn't be anxious!? "

"Ah?" So that's how it is. That 'Venerable Martial Arts' is going to end like this! "

"" Martial Arts Book "should have been cancelled a long time ago, okay? If not for Director Xiao's constant insistence, those trash from Martial Arts Editorial Group would have been fired a long time ago! "

"Exactly. Martial Arts Editorial Group occupy a work area for nothing, yet the benefit is the lowest. A bunch of bastards, who were waiting to die, should have their Semilunar Magazine removed a long time ago! "

Everyone chatted and talked merrily. Suddenly, someone whispered, "Director Yang is here". Instantly, all the discussions stopped and everyone returned to their jobs, as if nothing had happened.

Yang Yanhong frowned, but did not say much, knocked on Xiao Yang's door, and stood outside waiting.

Ten seconds, fifteen seconds, thirty seconds, a minute.

There was no sound from inside the door, as if no one had heard the knock at all.

Yang Yanhong looked puzzled, and asked a female assistant: "Is Chief Xiao in?"

"Oh!" Director Xiao kept it inside. " The female assistant said carefully, "He... he doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Yang Yanhong nodded, and immediately opened the door and walked in.

"Old Xiao, come take a look at this …"

"Shh..." Xiao Yang turned around, and saw the surprised Yang Yanhong, and said with embarrassment: "Old Yang! I'm sorry, I was so engrossed in the script! "

"A script?" Yang Yanhong asked: "What script?"

"Wuxia."

Seeing that Yang Yanhong was still doubtful, Xiao Yang explained, "I wonder who sent a wuxia script into my personal mailbox? It's written pretty well, do you want to come over and take a look?"

Half an hour later, Yang Yanhong got up from the computer, looking at the smiling Xiao Yang with shining eyes, he praised: "This isn't bad at all! This was simply everyone's work! Old Xiao, you've picked up a treasure! With this script, why are you still looking for Tan Ge to work with! "

The haze in Xiao Yang's heart was swept away as he nodded his head and laughed: "I just don't know which reclusive master's work this is, but it is still a timely matter for the < Martial Arts >!"

"You don't know the author?" Yang Yanhong asked in surprise.

Xiao Yang laughed bitterly and said: "Although the author had written his name down when he submitted his essay, I have never heard of it before!"

"What's his pen name?"

"The mortal world!"
