Chapter 132 Wizards, Wizards (Part [-])

The tea should not be full, seventy percent of tea is eighth of wine, this is the way of hospitality.

Jin Yong picked up the teacup, raised his hand gracefully as a gesture of "please tea", and then took a sip lightly, looking elegant and refined, quite a master.

At least Chen Xiaotang and Liu Dehua felt that they couldn't taste this kind of demeanor and taste. After all, a person's self-cultivation cannot be cultivated overnight. The so-called "connotation" is "inner layered text, covering thousands of volumes of books. "

After a round of tea, Jin Yong gently put down the teacup, looked at Chen Xiaotang and said, "Mr. Chen, do you believe that people can be reincarnated?

Chen Xiaotang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How do you say that?"

Jin Yong chuckled and said, "Isn't it your novel "Looking for the Qin Dynasty", I think it has such a charm at the beginning!"

It was only then that Chen Xiaotang realized that the master Jin Yong treated the element of "time travel" as "reincarnation".It's no wonder that, in order to be lazy, Chen Xiaotang wrote the beginning of this book using the method of a previous life time travel rebirth novel, and directly transported the protagonist "Xiang Shaolong" to the Warring States Period, instead of being an experimental guinea pig who travels through a time machine. , the purpose is very simple, it is easy to let the beginning of the book enter the "climax" ahead of time, and attract readers' attention.But I didn't expect that Master Jin Yong would care so much.

"Oh, I understand what you mean, but I didn't think about it that much—" Chen Xiaotang explained.

There was a trace of strangeness on Jin Yong's face, but he immediately said calmly: "That's right, you are still very young. Young people are always self-centered and dare to act boldly. Few people believe in God or Buddha. It is different when people get old. , when you are a little older, you will half-believe, but when you reach my age, you will believe everything."

Only then did Chen Xiaotang recall that Jin Yong seems to be a very devout believer in Buddhism, which can be seen in his classic novel "The Eight Parts of Heaven and Dragons", and "Reincarnation~Hui" is a principle expounded in Buddhist theories. Let's take a closer look now Looking at his bookstore, sure enough, apart from some encyclopedias and his own martial arts works, most of them are Buddhist classics.

Chen Xiaotang understood that the element of "time travel" that he accidentally wrote was misunderstood by Jin Yong as talking about the concept of "reincarnation" in Buddhism. He probably regarded himself as a devout Buddhist.

"You may think it's a little weird for me to ask this question, just because I can tell from your "Looking for Qin Ji" that you seem to have a lot of research on Buddhism."

Sure enough.

Chen Xiaotang said heartily.

What should I do?Do you go down the donkey along the slope, or pass it directly, saying that you are a buddhist novice? !
After thinking for a while, Chen Xiaotang said humbly with a cheeky face: "Buddhism is profound and profound, and my qualifications are dull. I just dabbled a little. I dare not say whether to study or not to study..."

"Hehe, it's a good thing for young people to be modest and prudent!" Jin Yong seemed to conclude that this Chen Xiaotang was "somewhat interesting", and he didn't belong to those idiots, nor did he belong to those artists who hadn't graduated from elementary school.

"But I don't know what Xiaotang thinks about the "Diamond Sutra": 'Everything has a law, like a dream, like a bubble, like dew or electricity, treat it like this'. What's your opinion?" Jin Yong stared at Chen Xiaotang with wise eyes. It is said that this is a test for Chen Xiaotang, because no matter what Jin Yong does, he can't imagine that a person can write such a "weird" novel.

Jin Yong has been writing novels for half his life, and running newspapers for another half of his life. He deeply knows what kind of connotation and cultural heritage is needed to write such novels. If it cannot be explained, then there is only one possibility, the novel was not written by him.

Of course Jin Yong doesn't know that Chen Xiaotang's so-called "time-traveling" elements have been flooded in his previous life, but he has become the first "person who dares to eat crabs" here, and he has the momentum of establishing a school.

Chen Xiaotang was very disturbed in his heart, and said to himself, it's your uncle!Ask me about the "Diamond Sutra", I have read "Su~Nvjing"!

In Chen Xiaotang's poor knowledge of Buddhism, the only thing he can come up with is "form is emptiness, and emptiness is form".

Seeing Jin Yong looking at him with piercing eyes, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help coughing, and Liu Dehua who was beside him also felt that the atmosphere seemed a little bad.

Liu Dehua still believes in Chen Xiaotang. Although this friend seems to be "all-rounder", "omnipotent", and seems to be climbing too fast in the circle, Liu Dehua is not the kind of person who is good at jealousy. On the contrary, it inspired his fighting spirit to fight with one another.Therefore, the situation Chen Xiaotang was facing at this moment made him nervous involuntarily, as if it was not Chen Xiaotang who was being tested but himself.

Chen Xiaotang pondered for a while, then slowly said: "It is said that there was a monk who went down the mountain to return to vulgarity because he couldn't bear the loneliness of Buddhism..."

Both Jin Yong and Liu Dehua were taken aback, but they didn't expect Chen Xiaotang to start telling stories.

On the surface, Chen Xiaotang pretended to be very noble and deep, but in his heart he was yelling, don't reveal your secrets, this is a story I heard from others, and I don't know if it makes sense or not.Thinking of this, he spoke slowly, and continued: "But within a month, this monk went up the mountain again because he couldn't bear the world's tongue. After less than a month, he went up the mountain again because he couldn't bear loneliness. After three times, the old man The monk said to him, you don't have to believe in Buddhism and take off your cassock; you don't have to be a layman seriously, just set up a place in the pavilion between the temple and the world, how about selling tea? So the layman asked for a Little daughter-in-law, set up a tea shop and start operating according to the old monk's words..."

"I never thought that this tea shop's business is very good. After a while, this person bought real estate and became a rich man. With money, there are many things he can do. This person married another wife and concubine, and bought land. Later, He spent money to donate to the government, has power and power, and has money, so it can be said that life is perfect."

"Who knew that extreme joy would lead to sorrow. Later, this man was dismissed from his official position because of corruption and bribery, and all his family property was confiscated; his concubine also ran away with others, and his children were unfilial. No one wanted to support him. He was old and sick all over. He couldn't even walk, so he could only crawl to the temple where he was a monk. In front of the temple, he kowtowed to the Buddha and said, "Why did you do this to me?!" After yelling, he found himself lying on the ground On the table in the tea shop, everything just now was a dream. The old monk was looking at him with a smile..."

When Chen Xiaotang said this, he stopped abruptly.

Jin Yong seemed to be thinking deeply.

But Liu Dehua couldn't wait to say: "What happened later, what happened later?"

Chen Xiaotang spread his hands: "There is no later..."

"How is it possible, this story has no beginning and no end." Liu Dehua muttered.

Looking at the side, after Jin Yong listened to Chen Xiaotang's meaningful "little story", he pondered for a while, and then couldn't help admiring: "There is a law in everything, like a dream, birth, old age, sickness and death, prosperity and wealth, just a single thought! I believe it, you really It's different, and it's only natural to be able to write a novel like "Looking for the Qin Dynasty"...Hey, Xiaotang is so talented, we so-called Xiangjiang talents are old!" There was a sigh of sighing at the loss of youth in his tone.

"Mr. Cha, don't say that. I just like to think at ordinary times. Occasionally, I like to think about why some people live and why people die. Is it a happy life or a painful death? In this way, I can't help accumulating a lot of knowledge. Sometimes The brilliance stirred up in my heart even surprised me." Chen Xiaotang boasted shamelessly.

"Hahaha, there are very few young people who are as knowledgeable as you." Jin Yong smiled slightly, and then said: "You remind me of my eldest son, Zha Chuanxia, ​​who used to like to think like you At that time, I praised him for his wisdom, but who knew that later..." Immediately, his face was filled with indescribable desolation and helplessness.

Jin Yong's eldest son, Cha Chuanxia?
The following message immediately came out of Chen Xiaotang's mind:
Jin Yong's eldest son, Cha Chuanxia, ​​hanged himself at the age of 19.This is the eternal pain in Jin Yong's heart.

It is said that Jin Yong had a deep affection for his elder son and took him to see his mother Zhu Mei.On the contrary, the relationship between mother and son is not very good.This son wrote an article when he was eleven or twelve years old, saying that life is bitter and meaningless, and that he was born with Buddhist thoughts.Some people said that the child should be prevented from thinking like this, but Jin Yong felt that his son was right. Life was just as he thought. He even praised his son for his profound precocity, but he didn't want his son to die because of this thought.At that time, Zha Chuanxia was a freshman student in New York, USA, and had not yet chosen a subject.He had a girlfriend in San Francisco, and they had an argument on the phone. The 19-year-old freshman boy didn't want to live anymore, and chose to hang himself on impulse.

Kim Yong was still writing an editorial when he received the news of his son's death.Although extremely shocked and sad, he insisted on finishing the editorial.Hundreds of thousands of readers are waiting to read his articles every day, and he can't stop writing even if the big changes happen.

Later, in the epilogue of the revised version of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", Jin Yong wrote that he wrote Zhang Sanfeng's grief when he saw his apprentice Zhang Cuishan committing suicide, and Xie Xun's sadness when he heard his adopted son Zhang Wuji's death. Real life isn't like that. "Because I didn't understand it then."

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaotang hurriedly came to his senses, and slowly said: "To be honest, Mr. Cha, I was not afraid of death when I was young. Because I think that only the people in the past will die, and only the people in the history books will die. Many people don't understand, what is the use of history? History is used to tell you: those people died! I have never read a history book that mentions the name Chen Xiaotang, how could I die? Most importantly, Even death is not a terrible thing! And when I was young, the Mrs. Chen next door to me always scolded her husband, why don’t you die when so many people are going to die? Then Mrs. Chen would say, Come back from death, don't die for a while longer? So I always thought that to die is to go to the street, and it must not go far away. Because Chen Sheng always comes back soon."

Hearing Chen Xiaotang's humorous words, Jin Yong couldn't help showing a smile, as if he understood the meaning of what he said.

Chen Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "So no matter what, I hope that Mr. Zha will be able to accept his sorrows, and smile often like this, because I believe that even if Mr. Ling is alive, I don't want your old man to be unhappy because of him."

Upon hearing such consolation, Jin Yong smiled and said, "I was the one who ruined the atmosphere. Let's get back to the topic. This time I asked you to come. Apart from agreeing with you to film "Zhong Shen Tong Wang Chong Yang", the most important thing is to want to I want to urge you to update that novel quickly. I have received many letters from readers asking you to speed up the update, saying that if you don’t do so, you will set fire to the building of our "Ming Pao" ..."

When Jin Yong said this, he was smiling. It is conceivable that he can understand the reaction of these book fans.In fact, this is also the case. Jin Yong was born as a book writer. When he updated "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he was blocked at the door of his house to press for the manuscript. It can be said that he has a similar experience with Chen Xiaotang.

Chen Xiaotang scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Cha, to tell you the truth, it's not that I don't want to update the novel, it's because I don't have time!"

"If you think about it, I film for more than ten hours a day, and sometimes I have to work for three days in a row. I can't sleep at night, and I have to stay up late to catch up on drafts. This is definitely a very exhausting job."

"I understand, Xiaotang, but as an author, readers must be the most important thing in everything..." Jin Yong reminded.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "It is precisely because of this that I decided to transfer "Looking for Qin Ji" to your newspaper..."

"Ah, what did you say?" Jin Yong was taken aback.

"No way, Ah Tang, you're not going to write?" Liu Dehua asked in surprise.

"I want to, too, but don't you have time?" Chen Xiaotang spread his hands, "So I want to transfer the copyright of this book and let people under your newspapers come to write it—"

Jin Yong had thought about Chen Xiaotang's idea before—there's no way the update speed is too fast, even a well-cultivated master like Jin Yong couldn't help nagging.

In Jin Yong's view, as long as Chen Xiaotang is willing to transfer the copyright of this book, he can naturally find someone to write the content of the following story, and even the someone he finds can write better than him.After all, Chen Xiaotang is only a part-time creator, which is different from the "painstaking painstaking effort" he hired.

But Jin Yong is a master, he can't say to Chen Xiaotang directly: "Hey, brother, don't get in the way of making money, transfer the copyright of the novel to me!"

He has to probe very implicitly, reveal his thoughts very tactfully, even if it is a stinky fart, he has to let it out in a tactful, melodious, subtle and appropriate way.

But never expected that Chen Xiaotang would propose it on his own initiative!
So, isn't it weird? !

I would like to add that Chen Xiaotang originally wrote "The Best Family", but later revised it into "Xun Qin Ji" according to the needs of the plot. Everyone understands what will happen next, "Xun Qin Ji" will definitely start filming
