Chapter 593 This guy can’t be a fake
Whether it is Bai Hai or Liao Wang, both of them have a certain level of appreciation. They can appreciate this kind of ancient Chinese, or ancient vernacular, which is quite appealing to them.
Although it's a bit obscure, if you read it carefully, you can still understand it.
In particular, some plots are very consistent with current social phenomena, and even more so with Bai Hai's mood.
For example, the scene where he saw the monkey performing a search for immortality.
"They caught one of the ones who couldn't run, stripped him of his clothes, and put them on like a human. They swayed through the states and cities, learning the etiquette and speech of the people in the markets. They ate breakfast and slept at night, and were determined to learn the sacred ways of Buddhas and immortals, and to find a way to live forever. They saw that all people in the world were after fame and fortune, and not a single one cared about their lives.
That's it.
When will the struggle for fame and fortune end? Getting up early and sleeping late is not your freedom! Cheating donkeys and mules dream of horses, and being a prime minister aspires to be a prince.
"If you only worry about food and clothing, why should you be afraid of the King of Hell taking you away? Your step-sons and grandchildren seek wealth and honor, and none of them will turn back!"
…
Seeing this, Bai Hai really felt that this poem was so appropriate.
This was the case in ancient times, but what about modern times???
Where did it go wrong again? ?
In an environment where people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes, basically everyone only cares about money.
996, 007, and sometimes you are even forced to stay at your job every day.
The word "leeks" can no longer be described. Now they should be called batteries, which are discarded after use.
Bai Hai has always been a pessimist, or maybe because he matured early, so he feels that today's society is unhealthy, in every aspect.
In that case, just lie down.
Bai Hai actually sneers at some of the so-called "lying flat" people in today's society, because for Bai Hai, that is not lying flat at all.
What is lying flat?
Lying down means maintaining the most basic survival, which basically means spending the least amount of money to maintain life.
It's not like what people say on the Internet now about lying flat, with a monthly income of over ten thousand yuan and several houses, and saying things like "I don't want such fierce competition, I just want to lie flat" and so on.
Is that called lying flat?
That's called enjoying it.
Of course, Bai Hai is indeed dissatisfied with many things on the Internet, but he has not expressed any opinions online. After all, the Internet today is no longer what it was a few years ago.
Nowadays, people on the Internet will report you for no reason.
In fact, many times, instead of seeking common ground while reserving differences, people are actually trying to kill each other.
Why bother? ?
As for Bai Hai, he only registered on the social platform but never spoke. He only spoke in the forum to discuss the novel and the plot.
Of course, even if we are relatively neutral and objective when discussing these things, we will still be scolded by many people.
This is quite normal.
Bai Hai chose to ignore these insults.
He is a coward.
He didn't want to argue with them.
Besides, sometimes it doesn’t make any sense.
If he had that much time, Bai Hai felt that he might as well watch a few movies or read a few novels.
Bai Hai was suddenly moved by the poem just by reading this part, but what he was looking forward to more was how the monkey would learn from the master next?
And then I just kept watching.
Although Bai Hai found many obscure words difficult to understand, he found some ancient sayings and vernacular texts interesting. When he calmed down, Bai Hai felt that he was completely immersed in it, until his cell phone rang.
"Bai Hai, where are you? Didn't we agree to be there at 9:40?"
The voice of the Baihai dormitory boss came from the other end of the phone.
Then Bai Hai remembered that everyone in their dormitory was going to help their boss confess his love at noon today.
Although Bai Hai felt that this was meaningless, he couldn't be out of the group after all, so he prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Bai Hai glanced at Liao Wang and found that Liao Wang didn't notice him at all.
Obviously, Liao Wang was also immersed in "Journey to the West".
This "Journey to the West" is really well written.
Liao Wang was a slow reader to begin with, and a long time had passed since she finished the first chapter.
"What? Journey to the West is sold out???"
"This is the third bookstore I've come to. It's only 10 o'clock, why is it gone???"
"I'm sorry, we only got about 30 copies, so of course they sold out."
…
Liao Wang was brought back to reality by the voices around him.
At some point, more people came to the bookstore and it became a bit lively. Several people even surrounded the bookstore owner and wanted to buy "Journey to the West".
But, it’s really gone.
If the bookstore owner really knew that "Journey to the West" was selling so well, he would certainly try to get more copies.
Before the question, didn’t everyone dislike this fantasy novel?
It's not just that people don't like the novel. People even think that this novel is just a hype by the "Second Best in the World".
All major bookstores do not attach much importance to "Journey to the West".
Several other bookstores I know simply bought two or three copies. After all, no one believed that a fantasy novel like this could be so popular.
But what is the situation now? ?
Everyone wants to buy it? ?
Liao Wang was just about to take Journey to the West to pay when a man came over and said, "Beautiful lady, can you give me this book? I love it so much."
"Well, beautiful lady, I'll give you 50 yuan and you give me this book."
"I'll give you 100."
"I'll give you 200"
…
The atmosphere of the entire bookstore made many people a little confused for a moment.
This guy is a fucking agent.
After all, some people were reading other books, but here they were clamoring to buy "Journey to the West". That would have been fine, but some people even offered 500 yuan to buy a copy of "Journey to the West".
Isn’t this bullshit? ?
In fact, not only they didn’t believe it, even Liao Wang herself didn’t believe it. She wondered where all this came from?
At the same time, Liao Wang unexpectedly discovered that Bai Hai had left.
This guy.
He left without even calling me.
So Liao Wang quickly paid and left.
She bought this copy of "Journey to the West".
Because Liao Wang wanted to see what this "Journey to the West" was like.
In other words, she really felt attracted by the first two rounds.
At this time, at 10 noon, Yu Xiaoshu forwarded the post of 'Second in the World' and wrote: "You can go watch Journey to the West. If you don't like it, come back and find me."
"Oh my god, is this true? Teacher Yu is actually helping with the promotion and advertising???"
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
