Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 55

“Master, Mr. Nan is here!” In the box of Beifeng Building, Ji Zhong walked in with Nan Yuanxi who had just stepped off the stage.

Nan Yuanxi saw Chen Luo, thinking that the other party wanted to make him tell a piece of “A Brief Biography of Zhong Kui” alone, after all, he had seen a lot of such things in the past two days, so he bowed his hands: “Young Master, “A Brief Biography of Zhong Kui” It’s too exhausting, and I can only perform once a day. If you want to see it, please wake up early tomorrow and come back.”

　　Before Chen Luo could respond, Ji Zhong first laughed. Chen Luo glanced at Ji Zhong, stood up, and saluted: “Mr. Nan, here is Chen Luo.”

　　”Oh, Young Master Chen, next… what? Chen Luo? Which Chen Luo?”

　　”The very Lord of Wan An, Chen Luo!”

　　Nan Yuanxi glanced at Chen Luo up and down, and blurted out, “What evidence do you have?”

　　Ji Zhong: “I can prove it!”

　　Chen Luo smiled lightly and whispered, “Zhong Kui!”

　　Suddenly, a black fog rose behind Chen Luo, and Zhong Kui’s shadow loomed in the black fog.

　　Nan Yuanxi could see clearly the burly figure and hideous face in the black mist and instantly recognized that this figure was the Zhong Kui he played with every day for the past two days. With Zhong Kui’s book spirit with him, the person in front of him is really the Lord of Wan An, Chen Luo!

　　Nan Yuanxi hurriedly bowed deeply: “Student Nan Yuanxi, who has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, has seen the Lord of Wan An!”

　　Chen Luo waved his hand, and Zhong Kui disappeared and went to rest again. Chen Luo helped Nan Yuanxi up with a smile on his face: “It’s okay. Mr. Nan, I heard your “wake up early” today, it’s good!”

　　Nan Yuanxi’s face was flushed. Chen Luo had long been his idol. When Chen Luo praised him, he felt that his bones were lightened by three points. He quickly waved his hand: “The Lord’s article is well written…”

　　”No, I’m not talking about “The Brief Biography of Zhong Kui”, I’m talking about mister’s newspaper analysis, very good!”

　　Nan Yuanxi was stunned, and then a layer of excitement surged in his heart. Generally speaking, when a noble person says this, they will ask the other person whether they are willing to follow them.

　　This is the rhythm to find a staff!

　　”Do you have a friend as good as you?”

　　”I’m willing!”

　　The words of the two came out almost at the same time, and they both looked at each other in surprise.

　　”What do you mean by you’re willing?”

　　”Did the Lord just ask me to recommend a friend?”

　　Again in unison.

　　Chen Luo sorted out his emotions and let Nan Yuanxi sit down.

　　”Mr. Nan, it’s like this. I’m planning to start a newspaper, which will include content such as analysis of ‘wake up early’ news. Let your gentlemen’s rhetoric be presented in words.”

　　”Of course, you can wake up and say it early, then go back and sort it out, and finally form a text and publish it in the newspaper.”

　　”I intend to hire you, gentleman, as the first editor-in-chief of this new newspaper, who is responsible for selecting the appropriate content for the speech. I will be responsible for the work location, and the monthly salary…”

　　”Wait a minute!” Nan Yuanxi interrupted Chen Luo’s words, got up and saluted, saying: “I respect my lord, but Yuan Xi is still a Confucian disciple, and he still knows the truth that the poor cannot move. I can only narrate ‘wake up early’, to speak for the Heavens, to explain the policies of the court and the affairs of the world to the ordinary folks, and am barely a preacher. How can such remarks be kept on the same page as the news of the brothel and the businessmen? …”

　　After Nan Yuanxi turned to leave, Ji Zhong stepped forward and blocked Nan Yuanxi’s way. Chen Luo quickly explained: “Mr. Nan misunderstood, the new newspaper I want to run is not a tabloid.”

　　”It’s not a tabloid?” Nan Yuanxi looked at Chen Luo suspiciously, “Then what is it?”

　　Chen Luo smiled and said: “The tabloids are vulgar, and they are just scraps of paper; the newspapers are elegant, but the price is too high, and they are only aimed at Confucian disciples. I want to create a new newspaper for the common people so that it is affordable, interesting, and valuable!”

　　As soon as Chen Luo’s voice fell, the entire indoor space was slightly suffocated. Ji Zhong raised his head and seemed to find something, but he couldn’t find a trace. One hand clenched the hilt of the broken sword at his waist, just in case.

　　Nan Yuanxi was also a little shocked. He couldn’t imagine what kind of newspaper this was, and asked: “Can a newspaper be made with just us narrators?”

　　Chen Luo shook his head: “Of course not. At present, my new newspaper only has two parts, one part is the eye-catching articles that I want to publish, and the other part is reserved for me to publish the articles I wrote. .”

　　The doubts on Nan Yuanxi’s face dissipated: “Lord wants to complete the new newspaper with ‘Liyan’? It’s useless, ‘Liyan’ needs the approval of heaven, and Yawen must be used!”

　　”Of course Yawen is Yawen, but… it’s not ‘Liyan’, it’s a story!”

　　”story?”

　　”Yes, a better story than “The Brief Biography of Zhong Kui”!”

　　Nan Yuanxi stared blankly at Chen Luo. He had read the classics of sages and sages for half his life and already felt that the short 200 words of “The Brief Biography of Zhong Kui” were enough to give people enough imagination. How could there be a better story?

　　Ji Zhong, who was behind Nan Yuanxi, let out a contemptuous laugh with a proud face.

　　Chen Luo thought for a while and said, “This matter is not urgent. I have to communicate with Wenchang Pavilion about the matter of running the newspaper. Mr. Nan can consider it first.”

　　Nan Yuanxi was stunned again, the other party even had to communicate with Wenchang Pavilion when he only wants to start a tabloid?

　　Is this the difference in the world?

　　Chen Luo got up and walked out, suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said, “By the way, I will send a new story later. If Mr. Nan thinks it is appropriate, he can tell it when he does the ‘wake up early’ tomorrow morning.”

　　After saying this, Chen Luo walked out of the box.

　　…

　　”Master, do you want to show “Laughing in the Wind” to that Mr. Nan first?” Ji Zhong approached Chen Luo and asked in a low voice when he walked to a place where there were few people.

　　Chen Luo shook his head slightly.

　　To be honest, the reason why I suddenly wanted to tell Nan Yuanxi the story first was that Chen Luo planned to use the custom of waking up early to warm up his new newspaper!

　　After all, the old gentleman attracted readers with his own novels in the early days.

　　But Chen Luo didn’t plan to take out “Laughing in the Wind” as soon as he came up.

　　After all, it’s a long story, and there are still many procedures for running a newspaper. It is not a wise choice to blindly throw out the content of the previous chapters.

　　A “Brief Biography of Zhong Kui” can have such a good effect, so it shouldn’t be a big problem to find some short stories.

　　For example, “The Assassin“, the story of the legendary heroine, is it exciting?

　　Anyway, the Spirit of the Secret Realm said last time that qi was exchanged for books, and when he opened the way to heaven before, he was given a lot of luck!

　　…

　　”What? Books are like lottery?”

　　In the dreamland of flowers, Chen Luo had a dark face, looking at Zhong Kui with an illusory figure in front of him.

　　Just now, the spirit of the secret realm told Chen Luo through Zhong Kui that he could not specify which book to exchange for, so he could only go to the woods to attract the spirit of the book by himself!

　　”What’s the point?” Chen Luo asked with an unhappy expression.

　　Zhong Kui also looked a little embarrassed, and replied: “Master chooses the size of good luck and just walks in the red dust forest. The matching book spirit will fly to the master on his own.”

　　Zhong Kui thought for a while, and then said: “It stands to reason that the more qi you hold, the more difficult the book will be to manifest, which means the stronger Wenhua Qi is!”

　　Chen Luo nodded and looked at the cloud of luck in the sky. As soon as he stretched out his hand, luck flew towards Chen Luo immediately.

　　This time Chen Luo just wanted a short story, so when the qi was about the size of a basketball in his hand, Chen Luo stopped. Then Chen Luo walked into the world of red dust holding this basketball-sized piece of luck.

　　Sure enough, after walking a few steps, a few petal butterflies flew towards Chen Luo, but they were smaller than the petal butterflies in “Laughing in the Wind” last time.

　　Chen Luo himself looked at the few petal butterflies around him. One of the red butterflies was particularly conspicuous, with an angry look, and kept hitting the other petal butterflies.

　　”Then it’s you!” Chen Luo reached out and clicked on the red petal butterfly, the luck in his hand dissipated, and the petal butterfly turned into a light and shot into Chen Luo’s mind.

　　…

　　Outside, Chen Luo slowly opened his eyes.

　　An article formed in Chen Luo’s mind, Chen Luo sensed it for a moment, with a strange expression on his face.

　　”It’s you, no wonder you’re so angry!”
