The Legend of the Sword and Fairy was definitely an eternal classic. In his previous life, Zhao Chen had played the Legend of the Sword and Fairy countless times. He had even watched the TV series no less than five times. Among them, the most memorable one was undoubtedly the complicated love story between Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling 'er, and Lin Yueru, as well as the novel and interesting setting.
In his previous life, the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1 was the childhood memories of countless people in the 80s and 90s. Whether it was a game or a TV series, it had a huge influence. Many people had played it twice, thrice, or even thrice like him. This was enough to show how excellent it was.
Zhao Chen chose the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 1 as the second novel of Wandering Know-it-all after much consideration. The characters in this novel were not much different from the Legend of the White Snake. When he exchanged abilities in the future, the required legendary achievements would not be too exaggerated.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had enough confidence in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. With the great success in his previous life, he was not worried that it would fail and no one would read it.
Thinking of this, he quickly started writing. He couldn't wait to let the ancients of this world see the classic works of his previous life.
While he was writing the Legend of the Sword and Fairy, the complete novel of the Legend of the White Snake had been spread by the merchants in Chang 'an. Soon, it became popular everywhere. People were eager to read it. The novel could be seen in many places in the Tang Empire.
In the rich land of Xihang, in a surplus teahouse, the storyteller, Old Xu, took a sip of tea and cleared his throat. Looking at the sparse audience sitting below, he could not help but frown.
These days, storytelling was not an easy job. There were too many scripts about poor scholars being able to pass the imperial examinations, poor students studying hard for ten years and finally becoming the top scholar. They had been said countless times. At first, they felt that it was not bad, but after listening to it many times, they no longer had any expectations. These inspirational stories were heard many times and could be memorized. This also led to fewer and fewer customers. The tea house also gave him less and less money. Naturally, his life became more and more difficult.
Thinking of this, Old Xu could not help but sigh. If this situation continued, he would not be able to live. He had to think of a way.
He coughed lightly and slapped the wooden board in his hand before he started talking about the book.
" Today, let's talk about how Scholar Zhang got Miss Xu's attention…"
Old Xu had just started when the audience below started to cheer.
"Old Xu, why are you talking about these scholars again? Is there anything new?!”
" Yeah, you've heard too much about scholars, talented scholars, and beautiful women. Don't keep talking about these things, let's talk about something new…"
When Old Xu heard this, a bitter look appeared on his face. He was only good at inspirational stories about talented scholars and poor scholars. What else could he say?!
"This…this…"
Looking at his tightly furrowed brows and speechless appearance, the audience sitting below looked at each other and could not help but laugh out loud at this time. For a moment, the air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. On the contrary, Old Xu's expression became even more depressed at this time.
After a depressing day, Old Xu frowned. He felt a sense of crisis. He gritted his teeth and decided to buy some novel books to read. So, he turned around and went to the bookstore.
After looking around, Old Xu felt a headache coming on. Most of them were Confucian scriptures, poems, and books. He couldn't help but frown. The customers in the teahouse who came to listen to his storytelling naturally weren't interested in the scriptures of these sour scholars. They were here for leisure and entertainment.
After flipping through the books in the study for a while, he finally saw the Legend of the White Snake at the side. The name stunned him for a moment. He subconsciously picked it up and flipped through it a few times. However, he was immediately attracted. The way the words were written from left to right and the fluent semi-vernacular language was extremely easy to understand, allowing him to read it very quickly.
The Legend of the White Snake was about the love story between a snake demon named Bai Suzhen and a scholar. Such a novel and unique novel suddenly opened the door to a new world for him, making him unable to help but widen his eyes.
So this novel could be written like this?
Just as he was about to pick up the other scrolls, the boy servant of the bookstore who was standing beside him walked over at this time. He frowned at him and reminded him softly," You've been here for a while…"
When Old Xu heard this, he couldn't help but blush. He smiled awkwardly and asked softly,"I wonder how much this Legend of the White Snake is worth?!”
When the servant in the study heard this, he smiled and drew a ten." Ten taels of silver…"
When Old Xu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and let out a breath of cold air. His eyes widened." Ten, ten taels of silver?!”
When he told stories in the teahouse, his daily allowance was only about 40 wen, which was about 25 days of his allowance.
"This…isn't this too expensive? Can it be cheaper?"
When the bookshop attendant heard this, he shrugged and said," This is already considered very cheap. This is a novel from Chang 'an. Of course, if you can't afford it, you can buy the first volume for only three taels of silver..."
Three taels of silver?
After hearing this, Old Xu struggled internally for a while before taking a deep breath and making a difficult decision. He was ready to take a gamble." Alright, I want the first volume of the Legend of the White Snake…"
He took the first volume of the Legend of the White Snake and walked out of the bookstore. Old Xu couldn't wait to go home and read it. His wife found out that he had spent three taels of silver to buy half a book, so she immediately made a fuss with him. He spent a lot of effort to calm her down. After that, he studied the first volume of the Legend of the White Snake all night. The more he read, the more he felt that the author of this book, Bai Xiaosheng, was a genius. Not only was the story novel, but it was also smooth and fluent. He simply beat them up.
