I don’t know when the year started, the number of visitors to the Liu family during the Chinese New Year began to increase, and it was on an upward trend year by year. The guests had diverse identities, spanning various fields. In addition to the relatives and neighbors whom they interacted normally, there were many distant relatives and elementary school classmates who could not even call Liu’s father and mother.

In the past, Liu's mother would tell Liu's father privately about who had many guests during the Chinese New Year. She had a wide network of contacts and was very popular. Now that she came to her home, she realized that this kind of thing was also unpleasant. Especially during the Chinese New Year, she actually wanted to chat and have dinner with her closest person, and she didn't have much time to entertain other guests.

They finally became the focus of private discussions, but they did not feel the glory they thought they were glory.

It was also at this time that they realized that being a parent is difficult, and being a celebrity’s parent is even more difficult. Of course, when they have this kind of thought, they will bring a sense of glory.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was his turn to have a reunion between Liu's father and his high school classmates. However, there were two more high school classmates who came this year. One was Liu's father's first year of high school, and the director of a key high school; the other was a second-year high school classmate who had just been transferred to the director of the family planning office. The two naturally had not had a deep relationship with Liu's father. In the first few years, they had a lot of social engagements and had no time to attend these gatherings, especially when it was Liu's turn, they were particularly unavailable.

Later, Liu Jingting rose step by step and became more and more famous. Until it was officially released in front of the public, the news spread among Liu's father's classmates and friends. Everyone mentioned "the child of Xingbang family" and kept saying "tsk tsk".

Under this circumstance, Liu's two high school classmates gradually became available. They also became interested in such a class reunion. After a few years of testing, this year finally started.

Although Liu's father, who has a noble temperament in his bones, cannot do anything that nods and flatters. Otherwise, he would not have been promoted for so many years, and he cannot do the same as he will be condescending when he gains power.

The two old classmates who had the best relationship with Liu's father once told Liu Jingting, "Your father values ​​loyalty and broad-mindedness to friends."

For the same reason, he can't recognize the enthusiasm of the two classmates who may not be able to recognize each other even if they walk opposite each other, but it's just within etiquette.

"Where is Jingting?"

As soon as several old classmates entered the house, the two who had good relationships naturally asked Liu Jingting.

"I went to Jianghai to visit Professor Chen Shirang." Liu's father replied while greeting everyone.

"Does Chen Shi ask Professor of Fudan?" asked the classmate who was the director of the teaching.

"Yes." Liu's father nodded.

"Well, I heard his lectures when I was in graduate school."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh again. In addition to sighing at the changes of time, they also secretly praised Liu Jingting's well-connected connections.

"Today is our old classmates' reunion, so I won't talk about Jingting." said the classmate who had the best relationship with Liu's father.

"Yes. I won't talk about him today." Liu's father said.

...

When Liu's father was entertaining his old classmates at home, Liu Jingting was chatting with Professor Chen Shirang. This time they did not talk about the new book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Professor Chen Shirang didn't even ask a question. "I didn't read the text. I can't make comments."

In fact, other topics about literature began to mention, and the topic they were talking about was the story of Professor Chen studying when he was young.

Chen Shi asked his wife not much about Liu Jingting. At most, she felt that the name sounded familiar, but she could tell the extraordinaryness of this little guest from her husband's expression.

Many guests or visitors from home have come. Even if his husband and his friends come over, he is not so happy or in high spirits. What surprised Mrs. Chen the most was that when facing this young man, his wife did not have the airs of a "professor" at all, although the young man looked very modest.

The old and the young sat there chatting, which gave people a more like two old friends who had known each other for many years.

Of course Mrs. Chen was happy. A while ago, my wife seemed to have encountered something unpleasant and was in a bad mood. It was rare that today I came to a guest who could talk to him so much.

It was almost noon, Professor Chen's son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter entered the house with big bags. As soon as the son entered the house, he asked in a low voice: "Dad is meeting an important guest today, and even Uncle Zhou is gone."

Mrs. Chen pointed to Professor Chen's study and said, "It's called Liu Jingting."

Professor Chen’s son, daughter-in-law, grandson: “…”

"I've been chatting in there for a long time."

"Liu Jingting?" Chen Fu asked confirmation.

Mrs. Chen nodded, and then saw her granddaughter rushing into the study.

"Gu Yongsheng!" The granddaughter's surprise scream came from the study.

Mrs. Chen is therefore even more sure that the young man is good. This shows that the old man is so important to him.

After a while, Chen Shirang, Liu Jingting and Chen Shu all walked out of the study, and Chen Fu immediately reached out to shake hands with Liu Jingting.

"This is my son Chen Fu." Professor Chen introduced seriously.

"Hello Uncle Chen." Liu Jingting said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Liu." Although he had seen many great things, Chen Fu was unable to take it over even if he rashly recognized this "uncle".

"Then I won't bother you anymore. I forgot the time while chatting." Liu Jingting said embarrassedly.

"Will you leave now? Let's go after lunch here?" Chen Fu said.

Professor Chen said: "He still wants to see his teacher, Director Kang, and he can't stay today."

Liu Jingting smiled, then nodded slightly to thank him, and said, "I have to do next time."

After hearing what his father said, Chen Fu nodded and nodded.

After Liu Jingting left the Chen family, Chen Fu hurriedly asked his father: "How could Liu Jingting come here today?"

"He has something to hand over to me, um... let's cook, I'll go to the study to read a book." Professor Chen had long wanted to open the "Tianlong Bazi" to take a look.

Chen Fu and his wife looked at each other, but fortunately they were used to the temper of this academic master's father.

"My parents, grandma, look, I took a photo with Gu Yongsheng!" Chen Shu said proudly with her cell phone.

The aftermath of "Liu Jingting visited Professor Chen" continued until the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Professor Chen's pair of twin grandchildren who came to visit his grandparents' house with his mother. After seeing the photo of his cousin Chen Shu, he was envious and regretted that he was a day late.

Three high school students went to Professor Chen's study together to inquire about Liu Jingting's news, and found that grandpa/grandfather was reading books with all concentration. The three of them skillfully approached and looked at it. After a while, grandson Su Hangdao: "Grandpa, are you reading martial arts novels?"

Professor Chen then noticed the three of them, hurriedly closed the printout, frowned and said, "Why are you touching them again?"

Su Hang refused to answer, pointed to the manuscript and said, "Grandpa, are you reading martial arts novels? Is it Gu Yongsheng's martial arts novels?"

Professor Chen was unwilling to lie to his grandson and could not reveal Liu Jingting's manuscript, so he had to answer: "You will know then."

...

"At that time" is actually one month later.

In early March, Gu Yongsheng's latest martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was suddenly launched without warning.

Before this, Liu Jingting had been fighting with Zhou Zaidao and others. Due to his active participation, Zhou Zaidao was more active. He published nearly fifteen long papers on the topic of "decline of martial arts". The paper explained the general trend of "this new style of literature will inevitably rise, and martial arts novels will inevitably decline" from multiple aspects such as literary laws, current literary status, and characteristics of martial arts novels.

The article believes that "martial arts novels have always been wandering around the boundaries of mainstream literature, and will be irreversibly replaced by film and television scripts in the future, until the entire genre becomes history like Tang poetry and Song lyrics."

However, just after Zhou Zaidao published his own summary article, Liu Jingting suddenly jumped out of this debate and opened up a message: "The new book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been launched, and everyone can go to the bookstore to buy it."

I originally wanted to catch Zhou Zaidao and others off guard, but by the way, I caught readers off guard.

In this era when any product is concerned about publicity, Liu Jingting is quite willful in his courage to publish books like this, but the booksellers who cooperate with him are not worried at all, because according to their summary experience, "Gu Yongsheng's latest martial arts" is already the best advertising slogan.

In just five days, the first batch of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that were launched were sold completely on the entire market, with no book left.

Professor Chen, the first to read a complete book, not only wrote the preface for this book, but also recommended the book to his classmates eight times in a lecture after it was launched:

"The pen is shocked by the wind and rain, and the book is heartbreaking! After reading the "Tianlong and the Eight Parts", you will appreciate these ten words. I believe you will have a deeper understanding."

Zhou Zaidao, who was about to start a new round of debate, seemed to be about to swell a small river passing through the woods, when suddenly a heavy rain fell from the sky, pouring down, pressing the waves that had not had time to turn up without a trace. The water droplets on the leaves on both sides were still falling dripping.

Then, the book review of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" swept over like a storm.

Professor Chen’s exquisite preface has also become a classic that readers have passed down from word to word:

"Just the chapter "Shi Ming" has fully utilized the "Injustice and Relief". As for the plot of the characters in the book, it can be said that [everyone is wronged, and all sentient beings are evil]. To write to the fullest, it is necessary to write all the ordinary people's feelings as bizarre; the world in the book is full of monsters and ghosts, especially a thrilling world.

However, behind such characters and world is the boundless transcendence of Buddhism, which is sometimes revealed, not only about the suffering of all living beings but also shows the compassion of "Pity for me, and there are so many worries"...

If we talk about the imagination of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", we can only say "shocking the world."
