Chapter 222 The Old Bookworm Alliance and "Water Margin"

midnight.

On a road at the foot of Songshan Mountain in the Forbidden Book Area, Liu Xing drove a police car at a speed of more than 160 kilometers per hour, heading towards the Meizhuang Dungeon.

Tonight, Fengmanlou was going to the dungeon to rescue eight other old bookworms, so Liu Xing decided to go to the dungeon to have a look.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and it was a call from a special police officer from the dungeon.

Liu Xing answered the phone: "What's the matter?"

"Captain, something went wrong, the dungeon just exploded!" The anxious voice of the special police came from the phone, "Violent explosions occurred simultaneously in the four directions of the dungeon, east, west, north, south, several top beams of the cell were blown up, and one-third of the outer wall collapsed. One, more than a dozen places in the cell are on fire, and the scene is chaotic."

Liu Xing's heart tightened, Feng Manlou actually acted so quickly: "You first try your best to rescue the wounded, I'll be there right away."

"Yes."

A few minutes later, Liu Xing finally arrived at Meizhuang Dungeon.

From a distance, he saw raging fires burning in the dungeon. Red flames more than ten meters high were raging in every corner of the dungeon, as if they were going to swallow the whole dungeon, and billowing black smoke enveloped the sky like covering the sky.

Around the dungeon, hundreds of armed special police were doing their best to fight the fire and rescue the prisoners in the dungeon, and there were screams and explosions from time to time.

"How's the situation?"

"Report to the captain, currently 107 prisoners have been seriously injured, and other prisoners are being transferred with all their strength." A special police report reported, "In addition, more than 100 prisoners have escaped, including eight veterans in death row. insect……"

"All eight old bookworms escaped?" Liu Xing asked, "How did they escape?"

The special police officer shook his head: "Not long after the explosion, the eight old bookworms disappeared. In addition, the nine writers who participated in the novel contest also disappeared..."

Among the top ten writers in the novel competition, nine have been captured by the special police team and temporarily detained in the dungeon, including Ouyang Wen, Wu Guoqian and others.

"Do you know in which direction these people fled?"

"I don't know. We searched the surrounding area for several kilometers, but found nothing..."

After understanding the situation, Liu Xing sighed helplessly, he was still one step too late after all.

This prison robbery incident was carefully planned by Feng Manlou for more than half a month, and it was obviously prepared.Feng Manlou not only rescued eight old bookworms, but also kidnapped nine top writers.
……

at the same time.

Huashan, thinking over the cliff.

In the secret passage of Siguya, nine white-haired old men sat together. They were the nine old bookworms who escaped from the dungeon tonight, including Feng Manlou.

The nine old bookworms have read more than one million books, and they have read almost all the novels sold in the market. Since they have no books to read, they read a lot of banned books, and were finally detained in the forbidden book area.

"In retrospect, I have been imprisoned for 45 years!" Old Bookworm Beetle sighed, "When I was imprisoned, I was still a middle-aged uncle, and now I have become a bad old man. Time really is not forgiving. !"

"If it weren't for Lao Feng (Feng Manlou) to save us, we would all die in the dungeon." Old bookworm Yi showed resentment on his face, "The reading alliance is really nothing, we have let it be ruined all our lives Already!"

Feng Manlou said: "Brothers, don't get angry. After leaving the restricted-book area, I will slowly settle the debt with the Reading League."

The old book bug beetle reminded: "Old Feng, the restricted-book area is still completely closed, and there must be a large number of book police guarding the exit. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

Feng Manlou waved his hand: "Don't worry, I have already arranged it. In more than ten days, as long as the gate of the forbidden book area is opened, we will be able to leave this island smoothly. After we go out, we will form a new alliance called 'The League of Old Bookworms', against the Reading League."

"Old Bookworm Alliance? I like the name, haha!" Old Bookworm B said, "However, after so many years of development, the Reading Alliance has become solid, and the influence of the Book King in China is unmatched. The reading alliance is probably as difficult as reaching the sky."

"What are you afraid of?" Old Bookworm B was quite unconvinced, "No matter how powerful the Book King is, he is still a human being, not a god. I don't believe that the Book King can cover up the sky with one hand! The rules and regulations of the Reading League have long been outdated. The shortage is not all caused by the Reading Alliance. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and I believe that all the scholars who are causing the book shortage will stand by our side!"

"Old Li is right!" Old Bookworm Beetle agreed, "In fact, every scholar has a desire to read forbidden books. As long as we grasp this, we can win people's hearts. is the key."

"I have an idea." Feng Manlou said, "Back then, in order to gather popularity, Jin Santong wrote a financial novel "Money Is Everything". Within a year, it had millions of fans and established the largest money book club in China. We can learn from Jin Santong’s practice, first create a classic novel that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and then use this novel to develop our members.”

Old Bookworm Beetle said: "That's a good idea, but which novel should we use to develop members? This novel should not only have first-class standards, but also conform to our philosophy, and it should also be easy to understand and fascinating."

Feng Manlou said: "Our goal is to overthrow the Reading League, so we need a novel with the theme of overthrowing the Reading League."

Old Bookworm C reminded: "Old Feng, I'm afraid it's hard to find this kind of novel, right? Which scholar dares to write a novel about overthrowing the reading alliance?"

Feng Manlou smiled and said: "This problem is not difficult to solve, just find someone to write a book. Now there are exactly 10 top writers in the forbidden-book section, and they are the top ten writers in the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest. You can ask them to help create a copy." Turning his head, he shouted, "Ah Da, Ah Er!"

"Yes, Master!" Two middle-aged men walked into the secret room of Siguo Cliff at the same time. They were both wearing white clothes and wearing long swords. They were Feng Manlou's first and second apprentices, Feng Ada and Feng Aer .

Behind Feng Ah Da and Feng Ah Er, there are nine people following, men and women, old and young, they are the top ten writers in the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest, including Wu Guoqian, Ouyang Wen and others.

Among the top ten writers, only one writer was absent——Hua Yingxue.

When nine writers came to the secret room, everyone was trembling and worried.

"Don't be afraid, as long as you cooperate obediently, I won't make things difficult for you." Feng Manlou said to the writers with a friendly face, "I want you to write a novel, and this novel must have the theme of 'Overthrowing the Reading League' .”

"Overthrow the Reading League?" The faces of the nine writers changed. This kind of subject matter is definitely a forbidden book in the forbidden book. Who dares to write it?
"You have only two choices, either write a forbidden book that satisfies me, or die!" Feng Manlou said in a deep voice, "You only have seven days. If you still can't write it after seven days, you will die!" They were buried together in Siguo Cliff, Huashan."

……

At night, Huashan thought about crossing the cliff.

Nine writers were sitting together, each frowning and dignified.

"Overthrow the Reading League? How do you write this kind of novel?" Wu Guoqian sighed, "Writing this kind of banned book is tantamount to going against the Reading League. After writing it, your life will be ruined."

In China, writing a banned book is a stain on life.Some writers have had difficulty gaining a foothold in the writer's circle just because they wrote banned books.
"We were forced to do so. The Reading Union should be able to understand it?" asked another writer.

"You're so naive, I'm afraid you won't be able to cleanse yourself by jumping into the Yellow River." Wu Guoqian said, "This kind of subject matter can't be touched at all."

"But if we don't write, we will die. We have no choice at all." Ouyang Wen made a decisive decision, "Don't complain, everyone. At this point, we can only bite the bullet. We are now grasshoppers tied to a rope. The most urgent thing is to discuss how to write this forbidden book."

The nine writers looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, they began to study together how to create a novel with the theme of overthrowing the reading alliance.

……

Two days later.

Nine writers respectively wrote nine novels, which were reviewed by nine old bookworms.

"The writing is too disappointing!" The old bookworm Fengman criticized, "Wu Guoqian, your "Reverse Current" is simply unsightly. It does not show the momentum of scholars wanting to overthrow the Reading League! To overthrow the Reading League, this What a passionate and great cause, but your novel is written in a lifeless way! The characters in your pen have no determination and belief to overthrow the Reading League at all!"

The old bookworm then commented: "Ouyang Wen, your "Change the Sky" is also rubbish! You don't understand why you want to overthrow the Reading League, you don't understand the inner needs of the old bookworm, and you have no sense of resonance at all. Also, Your characterization is too distorted, and there is no sense of substitution."

Nine novels were criticized as useless by nine old bookworms, and all novels had to be rewritten.

For the next three days, nine writers repeatedly revised the novel.Unfortunately, these novels still cannot satisfy old bookworms.

……

On the fifth day, Huashan thought about crossing the cliff.

"These nine novels are still not good!" Feng Manlou said bitterly, "Ouyang Wen and Wu Guogan are all nine writers with good skills, but they don't know how to write banned books at all."

"These people don't want to overthrow the Reading Alliance at all, and the novels they write naturally lack real feelings." Old Bookworm Beetle said, "Only those who really want to overthrow the Reading Alliance can write novels that meet our requirements. The problem is, Where can I find such a person?"

Old Bookworm C remembered something, and reminded: "Most people in the forbidden-book area are dissatisfied with the Reading League, maybe we can look for it in the forbidden-book area. Unfortunately, these people's creative skills are probably not good enough. We need to find someone It seems that it is not an easy task to find a satisfactory forbidden book!"

Feng Manlou frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
……

After the prison robbery incident in the dungeon, Liu Xing led the special police team to hunt down Feng Manlou and other nine old bookworms.

I just searched the entire forbidden book area, but still didn't find any clues.

Liu Xing once tried to start with Feng Ah San and Feng Ah Si, but unfortunately, the two of them also did not know the whereabouts of Feng Manlou.

Liu Xing originally thought that Fengmanlou would come to Heimuya sooner or later to pick up the "Wordless Heavenly Book" in the tomb, so he waited in Heimuya, waiting for Fengmanlou to appear.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Feng Manlou still didn't show up, so Liu Xing found Lin Shishi, ready to have a chat.Lin Shishi knew Fengmanlou best, maybe he could provide some clues.

……

Blackwood Cliff.

Liu Xing and Lin Shishi sat in the pavilion in the garden, drinking tea together.

"Fengmanlou kidnapped nine writers?" Lin Shishi's face showed excitement, "It seems that Fengmanlou is really going to do a big job! He took these top writers away to let them write banned books. -Book!"

Liu Xing was surprised: "What kind of banned book?"

"Of course it is to write a banned book against the Reading League." Lin Shishi speculated, "With Feng Manlou's personality, he will definitely form a brand new alliance to fight against the Reading League. To form a new alliance, you need to win people's hearts. Have enough brain fans. The most direct way to gather a large number of brain fans is to create a novel that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At that time, Jin Santong relied on the novel "Money is Everything" in just one year. In a few years, it has millions of brain-dead fans, and quickly established the largest book club in China."

After a pause, Lin Shishu said, "Feng Manlou must be trying to learn from Jin Santong's practice and ask nine writers to write a novel similar to "Money is Everything". Can you write this banned book? , is directly related to whether Fengmanlou can form a new alliance, so this forbidden book is very important."

Liu Xing basically understood, and said: "So, as long as you write a high-quality banned book, you may see Fengmanlou?"

"Yes." Lin Shishi added, "However, the creation of this forbidden book is very difficult. First of all, it must take the theme of overthrowing the Reading League, expose the various drawbacks of the Reading League, and point out the importance of resisting the Reading League. "

"Secondly, the characterization of the characters in the novel must reach the top level, because novels with characters are easy to attract people's hearts."

"Third, the number of characters in the novel must be large enough, and a large number of characters with distinctive personalities must be portrayed to attract all kinds of readers."

"There are very few writers who can meet these three conditions at the same time. This requires writers not only to have the creative skills of a master of logistics, but also to have the determination to resist the reading alliance. Although the nine writers including Ouyang Wen and Wu Guoqian have top-notch creative skills, But they are all orthodox writers, and it is difficult to write such a banned book. Therefore, I guess Feng Manlou will have to hire another expert if he wants to find a qualified banned book."

Hearing this, Liu Xing rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a way to catch Feng Manlou.

Since Feng Manlou is in a hurry to find a forbidden book, as long as Liu Xing can write a shocking forbidden book, Feng Manlou will definitely come to Liu Xing on his own initiative.

At that time, Liu Xing will have a chance to catch him.

Of course, with Liu Xing's current writing ability, it is still impossible to write high-level banned books.However, he does not need to write it himself, but can directly copy a copy from the coffin.

In the book coffin of Heimuya, there are thousands of famous books on the earth. Among these famous books, there are many novels with the theme of "resistance".

For example, "Water Margin", one of the four famous Chinese novels.

"Water Margin" is a novel describing peasant uprisings. Taking the uprising army led by Song Jiang as the main theme, it tells a series of stories of Liangshan heroes who resist oppression and heroic struggle, and exposes the corruption and brutality of the ruling class in the late Northern Song Dynasty. It expresses the cruel reality of "officials forcing the people to rebel".

The event where Song Jiang led Liangshan heroes against the imperial court was very similar to the event where Feng Manlou led old bookworms against the Reading League.

Therefore, as long as some modifications are made to the novel, "Water Margin" is a ready-made forbidden book.
Just replace "Liangshan Hero" with "Old Bookworm", replace "Northern Song Dynasty Court" with "Reading Alliance", and make some changes to the names of places and people in the novel, then the story of "Water Margin" will change. Cheng Fengmanlou led 108 old bookworms to revolt against the oppression of the Reading League and struggle heroically.

In this way, "Water Margin" is definitely a banned book with the theme of overthrowing the reading alliance.

With the creative level of "Water Margin", I believe it should attract Feng Manlou's attention. Then, he can wait for Feng Manlou to take the bait...
