Chapter 914 Congratulations to "Journey to the West" for winning the Silver Alliance!

Of course, not everyone can't understand it.

There are still many readers with a relatively high level of classical Chinese reading ability on the Internet, but this type of readers generally seldom read e-books, and even if they do read e-books, they seldom read online novels. Those who read both e-books and online novels may not necessarily be reading Lin Fan's "Journey to the West".

Moreover, "Journey to the West" requires not only the ability to read and comprehension classical Chinese, but also the ability to associate scenes and appreciate poetry.

Because the first chapter of "Journey to the West" alone contains many poems and metaphors.

For example, there is no year in the mountains, and you don’t know the year when the cold ends.

For example, a white rainbow rises, and snow-capped waves fly; the sea breeze blows continuously, and the moon on the river still shines.

Another example: when will the fight for fame and fortune end? Getting up early and sleeping late is not your freedom!

While riding a donkey or mule, one yearns for a fine horse; while being a prime minister, one aspires to become a king or a prince.

As long as you worry about food and clothing and work hard, why should you be afraid of the King of Hell taking you away?

The stepsons and grandchildren seek wealth and fame, but none of them is willing to turn back!

…

Poems and songs like these can be found everywhere in the chapters of Journey to the West. In addition, the entire novel is written in the authentic style of ancient Chinese.

This is completely different from modern people imitating the writing style of ancient people.

Even if readers have an average level of reading ability in classical Chinese, they can still detect the difference between imitation and actual classical Chinese writing.

In addition, this novel also incorporates many Taoist mantras, various metaphors, and various ironies hidden between the lines. The background setting is grand and rigorous, and the writing is fluent and highly literary, which makes people feel an indescribable sense of guilt when expressing their opinions.

Even the haters, who are haters just for the sake of hating, don't dare to curse easily, for fear that if the situation is reversed later, they will get slapped in the face.

Of course, correspondingly, Lin Fan's fans did not dare to praise him too much, because they could not understand and could not praise him at all. This led to the current awkward situation: no one dared to make the first move, and whoever made the first move would be held fully responsible.

But there are also people with more unique thinking patterns who choose other ways of expressing themselves.

Yu Mengmeng ran to the big garden behind her villa with her phone in her arms, and found Grandpa Yu, who was playing chess, drinking tea, and chatting with his old friends: "Grandpa, Grandpa!"

"Mengmeng is here!" Grandpa Yu's old friends were all very happy to see Yu Mengmeng. "Old Yu, your granddaughter is getting more and more blessed. She is obedient and willing to play with you, an old man. We are so envious of her!"

"Isn't it? My granddaughter doesn't even want to talk to me, let alone play with me!"

"Mengmeng, come here, Grandpa Wu brought you a gift!" Grandpa Wu said, and casually stuffed the shiny jade pendant on his wrist into Yu Mengmeng's hand.

Seeing this, others also started taking out gifts, including Buddhist beads, bracelets, jade pendants, etc. that they carried with them.

Grandpa Yu quickly stopped him: "Hey, what are you doing? Mengmeng is my granddaughter, don't think you can buy her off by giving her a little gift!"

Yu Mengmeng also hurriedly refused, "I appreciate the grandfathers' kindness, but these are their favorite things, I can't accept them. Besides, I need the grandfathers' help with something, so I should prepare gifts for them."

Of course, it is impossible to take back what the old men have given: "Just take it, it is a gift from the elders and cannot be refused."

Yu Mengmeng looked at her grandfather innocently, and Grandpa Yu had no choice but to nod his head. Only then did Yu Mengmeng dare to accept these valuable gifts: "Thank you, Grandpas."

The old men were happy then: "Hey, by the way, Mengmeng, what did you ask us to do for you just now?"

Yu Mengmeng then remembered the important matter, and enlarged the font on her phone before handing it over: "Grandpa, this is it, this is the novel that Fanfan just published, written in classical Chinese. Hehe, I don't quite understand it, and then I remembered that for grandpas, reading classical Chinese is as easy as drinking water, so I just want to learn from them..."

"Of course, Mengmeng is reading classical Chinese novels!"

"Yeah, I wish my child was as studious as Mengmeng!"

The old men praised her, but only Grandpa Yu heard the point of Yu Mengmeng: "Is Fan Fan publishing a classical Chinese novel?"

Yu Mengmeng nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's Journey to the West! Grandpa, do you still remember the comic book I told you about?"

Grandpa Yu still has some impression of him. Although he is not interested in comics, Grandpa Yu is a big fan of Lin Fan. He often discusses Lin Fan's various works with Yu Mengmeng, and shares Lin Fan's schedule that they have inquired about in their respective circles.

"Journey to the West? I must take a good look at it then." Grandpa Yu put on the reading glasses hanging around his neck, took the mobile phone from Yu Mengmeng's hand, stretched it as far as his arm could reach, and then began to read it carefully.

Yu Mengmeng also enthusiastically greeted the other old men: "Grandpas, do you have your mobile phones? I will help you find the novels. Let's read it together?"

It was rare to have a little granddaughter - even if she was from another family - come to their house and ask for help. The old men were naturally very interested and handed their mobile phones to Yu Mengmeng, asking her to help find the copy of "Journey to the West" to read.

Once I saw it, I was drawn into it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The first chapter of "Journey to the West" is about a natural stone monkey jumping out from a crack in a rock, startling the Jade Emperor in heaven and revealing a small corner of this magnificent world.

Then he entered the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain and lived a carefree life for hundreds of years. Suddenly, he felt emotional and embarked on the journey of seeking the way to become an immortal.

He traveled across the ocean on a bamboo raft and saw the world, but found that all the people in the world were fame-seeking and profit-seeking, and there was not a single real immortal.

He traveled through the bustling city of the world, and with the guidance of a woodcutter in the mountains, he finally found Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave, and became a disciple of Bodhi Patriarch.

As the saying goes, there was no name in the beginning of the universe, and to break the stubborn void, one must be Wukong. Bodhi Patriarch gave him the name: Sun Wukong! The first chapter ended here, and several old men quickly clicked on the next chapter and continued reading. Soon, the contents of the three chapters were all read by the old men.

They were just thinking about turning the pages when they suddenly realized that there was no more at the end! This made the old men anxious: "Meng Meng, why is there no more at the end? Did we see it wrong? Can you help us figure out what's going on?"

Yu Mengmeng quickly explained: "There are only three chapters. This novel was just released today, and so much content has been uploaded. The rest of the content will be uploaded tomorrow."

"How can this be possible? I was just enjoying the show!"

"How can it be tomorrow? I can't wait until tomorrow, Mengmeng, is there any way to get the author to publish the rest of the content sooner?"

"Yes, Mengmeng, you think of a solution!"

Yu Mengmeng had no choice: "No, it's not possible. Generally, rewards for online novels can urge them to update, but Fanfan is not short of money, he won't update more just for rewards!"

As soon as Yu Mengmeng finished speaking, Grandpa Wu had already found the entrance to "reward": "Reward? Is that what it is?"
