The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

"Mr. Zhou really doesn't know martial arts?" Zheng Rupei looked at Zhou Hexuan in surprise.

"Really not." Zhou Hexuan smiled wryly.

Zheng Rupei said: "But I heard people say that when you saw injustice on the road, you drew your sword to help, and knocked down the gangster Li Er in Qiandezhuang with three punches and two kicks. Some people said that you are used to using iron sand palms, and you slapped Li Er's face swollen. Yes, several teeth have fallen out."

Zhou Hexuan was speechless for a moment, this is too outrageous. He pretended to be a tiger, and relied on Chu Yupu's name to teach others a lesson, but he was actually promoted as a martial arts master.

"I don't know martial arts. If you really want to learn from each other, I'll find two people for you." Zhou Hexuan went out and shouted to the Sun family brothers who were dozing off, "Yong Zhen, Yong Hao, someone is coming to your door to learn from each other. Come and receive me." !"

"Who? Who wants to fight?" Sun Yongzhen was a martial idiot, and he became excited when he heard that he was going to fight.

Zheng Rupei clasped his fists and said, "Zheng Rupei in Xiaxigu is good at big swords, Taiji and Chaquan!"

Sun Yongzhen responded immediately: "Sun Yongzhen of Taigu! He has a rough understanding of Xingyi and gossip."

"Brother Sun, where are we practicing?" Zheng Rupei asked with a smile.

"On the street." Sun Yongzhen pointed to the outside.

The two said that they were about to go out for a competition. The employees of the newspaper found it very strange and squeezed one by one to the window to watch the excitement.

"What's the situation?" Shen Congwen asked curiously when he heard the movement.

Zhu Xiang likes new things, he said excitedly: "It seems that someone is going to compete in martial arts, go over and have a look."

"Let's go together, let's go together." Although Li Shoumin has never practiced martial arts, he can breathe out the method, strictly speaking, he has practiced internal strength.

Looking at the empty office lobby, Zhou Hexuan couldn't laugh or cry, so he simply squeezed over to watch the show.

on the street.

The two stood facing each other, Zheng Rupei said: "Brother Sun, please!"

"Here it comes, you have to be careful." Sun Yongzhen rushed up after speaking.

Sun Yongzhen didn't go straight, he stepped on the eight trigrams step learned from Li Jinglin, he walked to the side of Zheng Rupei in an arc, and punched straight to the opponent's waist.

"So ruthless!"

Zheng Rupei hastily dodged his punches, if that punch is real, it is very likely that he will die. Because Sun Yonghao wanted to hit him around the waist, that is, the "kidney shot" in later online games.

When Sun Yongzhen missed a hit, he immediately swam away, striding diagonally to get behind Zheng Rupei. Zheng Rupei had no choice but to turn around with him. Before he could stand still, he took the opportunity to charge close to him, and at the same time hit the Tai Chi cannon to hit the middle door.

So far, the characteristics of the two people's kung fu have undoubtedly been revealed.

Zheng Rupei is taking a tough path, don't be cowardly, just do it. Sun Yongzhen, on the other hand, was like an assassin, ruthless and deadly.

The two fought faster and faster, but the spectators were disappointed because they didn't look good, it was no different from a street fight.

Especially when the speed of moves is accelerated, the moves are often deformed. How can they be as exciting as when they are performing?

Suddenly, Sun Yongzhen hit Zheng Rupei's weakness with a punch. At the same time, Zheng Rupei bumped Sun Yongzhen into the air with his shoulder, rolled on the ground twice before getting up in embarrassment.

Zhou Hexuan went in without knowing, and asked Sun Yonghao: "Your brother lost?"

"It's not considered a loss, that person also hurts." Sun Yonghao said.

Zheng Rupei was more than just in pain, his entire left side was numb from the beating, and he said with pain: "Brother Sun is a good move, I lost!"

Sun Yongzhen smiled honestly: "You also threw your forehead on all fours, so it's a tie."

How should I put it, Zheng Rupei's kung fu is suitable for charging and fighting in groups, anyway, he is strong and fierce. Especially when one person singles out many gangsters, it will definitely kill the Quartet. Sun Yongzhen is more suitable for small-scale fighting, and he can't use it if there are too many enemies.

The two competed for a while, and they felt a little sympathetic to each other.

Zheng Rupei felt that this newspaper was very interesting, so he ran to ask Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, is your newspaper still recruiting?"

"What recruitment?" Zhou Hexuan didn't understand.

Zheng Rupei smiled and said, "I think you're good here, I want to stay and ask for an errand."

Zhou Hexuan said euphemistically: "The newspaper has no shortage of bodyguards for the time being."

"I'm not a bodyguard, I mean I want to be a newspaper editor." Zheng Rupei said.

"Are you an editor?" Zhou Hexuan looked at the tall and thick man in front of him, his calloused hands really didn't look like someone holding a pen.

Zheng Rupei said: "Proofreading is also possible, I have done proofreading in the "Beijing News" before."

"Beijing News" is a big newspaper, but unfortunately it was blocked by Zhang Zuolin. Zhou Hexuan asked in surprise, "Have you ever read a book?"

Zheng Rutong suddenly jumped out and said, "My second brother was a private school teacher."

Well, he turned out to be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

Zhou Hexuan turned around and came up with a good idea. He said, "I have opened one-third of the page in the novel page to publish the content of Chinese martial arts, and you will be responsible for it."

Zheng Rupei said happily: "Okay, leave it to me. It seems that you need a pen name to write articles. Mr. Zhou, you are very knowledgeable, help me think of a pen name."

"You can just take one." Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly, the person in front of him was too familiar, and he didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.

Zheng Rupei thought hard and said: "In the past, that blind monk in the ruined temple in Xigu always said that he wanted to prove cause and effect. He treated me well, so I might as well call him 'Prove Cause'."

Evidence?

Zheng Zhengyin!

Zhou Hexuan looked at Zheng Rupei in surprise, wondering if it was Zheng Zhengyin who wrote martial arts novels?

This dude has far-reaching influence in the history of martial arts novels, light skills such as flying on grass, chasing cicadas with eight steps, chasing clouds and chasing the moon, and weapons such as the sun and the moon, the nine-linked rigid ring, and the soul-child-mother circle. Hidden weapons such as needles, diamond swallowtail darts, and plum blossom killing needles were all created by Zheng Zhengyin when he was writing novels. There are also rivers and lakes code words such as shoulder-to-shoulder, dark green, frame beam, wind tight pull, idea stick hand, etc., which were widely used in martial arts novels from Zheng Zhengyin, and were inherited and borrowed by later writers.

Gu Long once said that the martial arts novelist he admired most was Zheng Zhengyin. Looking at works such as Gu Long's "The Legend of Heroes of the Great Banner", one can detect the shadow of Zheng Zhengyin.

To put it bluntly, Zheng Zhengyin made martial arts novels more professional. Because he himself has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has dealt with gangs all year round, and he knows everything about the world, unlike other writers who rely entirely on imagination.

This person is like a hidden hero in the rivers and lakes. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he has not left Tianjin, and he no longer writes novels, and he is peaceful and stable as an ordinary person. Even Zheng Zhengyin's neighbors didn't know that he was a novelist, and they only regarded him as a eccentric old bachelor (never married in his life, only with swords, guns and sticks for company).

Zhou Hexuan found it very interesting. Although he can't change the current situation, he can change the people and things around him. For example, "Ta Kung Pao" resumed publication ahead of schedule, Peking University resumed classes ahead of schedule, Hope Primary School was established, Li Shoumin, Shen Congwen, Zhu Xiang, Meng Xiaodong, Zheng Zhengyin and other irrelevant celebrities of the Republic of China gathered together and became friends because of him.

From Zheng Zhengyin's door-to-door discussion, we can know how popular "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is.

As a sequel story, "The Legend of Condor Heroes" aroused the popularity of northern readers once it was published. Zhou Hexuan originally thought that the supplement of "Dazhong" would have a daily sales volume of 3,000 copies, but the actual situation was unexpected.

Only one week after the publication of "Popular", the sales volume has stabilized at more than 5,000 copies, and it is still increasing gradually. Many readers buy Dazhong purely to read martial arts novels, and they don't care about other content at all.

After Zheng Zhengyin took office as an editor, the column he was in charge of was called "Guoshu Conglun", which specialized in popularizing the origins of various martial arts and schools. This column unexpectedly received a lot of praise from readers, far more popular than the prose poems edited by Shen Congwen and Zhu Xiang.

Zheng Zhengyin made persistent efforts and introduced in detail the basic routines of Zha Quan and the two-way secondary boxing methods, and even drew the moves into graphics and published them in newspapers. The move drew strong protests from Cha Quan's heirs, but readers expressed their support. There are even some people who are too idle to practice martial arts according to the newspaper... Well, the basic routines of martial arts should have the fitness effect of radio gymnastics.

In the second week of its release, the daily sales volume of "Popular" has exceeded 6,000. From the sales and advertising revenue of the supplement alone, the monthly gross profit reached 5,800 silver dollars.

Running publications in the Republic of China is really making money.

The premise is that the things you create can be sold. For example, Zhu Xiang runs his own magazine, but he loses so much that he can’t afford to eat.
