Cai Wenji couldn't understand what Liu Xu said, but only Liu Xu himself knew how important everything that happened tonight was to him.
Ever since he learned that he needed to find his own way to become a great god, Liu Xu had never been able to figure out what the way was. According to Sun Wukong and others, Tao is the law that exists in heaven and earth. Finding such a law and then mastering it is equivalent to possessing Tao, and it also achieves the status of Golden Immortal, which is a high-end existence even in the world of Journey to the West.
But after all, this is the Tao of the world of cultivating immortals. How to master the Tao in the world is a mystery. After all, there are so many great gods, but none of them seem to have mastered the laws of water, fire, yin and yang, or time and space, and then use this to achieve success. Follow your own path.
So Liu Xu did a small experiment on the old president. Through this experiment, Liu Xu finally touched the threshold of the Tao, which is the path he insists on, and unites knowledge and action, just like the old president. In that way, he would devote his whole life to saving the people and save the world. Even if it was a matter of life and death, he could sacrifice himself to save Liu Xu, and even more people in the world would finally cooperate with the wandering world and successfully realize the connection between heaven and man. In front of Liu Xu Become a god.
And this is why the old president did not come to support Liu Xu, because the old president insisted on saving the people of the world, and he believed that Liu Xu's promotion of TV series would affect the strength of other authors and lead to the loss of the world. Ten thousand people no longer love them, which in turn leads to a decline in the power of the entire contracted author group.
Therefore, he is unwilling to support Liu Xu. This is also to practice what he supports.
While Liu Xu understood this, he fell into a greater confusion, that is, he did not know what the Tao he wanted was.
Judging from the great gods who have achieved the connection between heaven and man in the past, it is different from the laws and Tao of the world of immortality. The Tao in the world is more idealistic and philosophical, similar to the Tao of human beings such as the various schools of thought.
In this way, the answer seems to be very simple. Liu Xu started writing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in order to write the history of China in a different world, so there is no doubt that he should follow the path of history and use history to gain enlightenment.
But Liu Xu understands that he likes history and studies history, but he himself has never placed history on the level of Tao. He is an excellent historical researcher, but he is not a devout supporter of the Tao of history.
Because a truly devout advocate of history will never be able to write it, and what is forced to be written is not a history book, because after all, history must be modified to suit its own needs and become consistent with the narrative rhythm and character creation. , and the need to create climax and tragedy.
Therefore, the person who wrote it is someone who destroys the way of history, so it is impossible for Liu Xu to achieve the way of history.
But if it is not the way of history, then what exactly is our own way?
Ever since the old president became a god, Liu Xu has been thinking deeply about this issue deep in his heart. He couldn't find his own way, so he seemed particularly confused and even extremely irritable deep inside, so he needed to take pictures Entertainment such as movies should be separated from the exploration of Tao to avoid burning out the brain.
What he didn't expect was that Liu Xu actually touched the existence of Tao tonight.
Especially after he bowed to the 1,200 readers present and said the words, "Three thousand people with power and wealth are not as good as one reader", Liu Xu faintly felt the existence of Tao.
"My way may be..." Liu Xu stopped and looked at the computer screen in front of him, which was constantly refreshing, telling other readers in the group how exciting today's movie was. Liu Xu slowly revealed Smiling, and then entered four words on the screen: The way of readers.
"No, this name is too stupid, too out of character. If word spreads, people will ridicule me for being a scumbag with a name!" Liu Xu glanced at it for a few times, and quickly gave the words "The Way of a Reader" to Delete it and type four words again.
"The Way of Harmony"
"This name is very cool!" Liu Xu nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with the name, but in fact, within a few minutes, these four words were deleted by Liu Xu, and then he I continued to lie on the table and meditate hard, and then planned to think of a louder, yet unpredictable and extraordinary name.
The whole night, the lights in Liu Xu's house did not go out. The next morning, Cai Wenji, who was forced back to her room last night and left Liu Xu alone, quietly slipped into Liu Xu's room.
Seeing Liu Xu sleeping on the computer table, she put a quilt on him with a distressed face. At the same time, she unconsciously glanced at Liu Xu's computer screen and found that there were only 4 words in the huge text box. What is written above is still "the way of readers".
"Why are you here?" Cai Wenji's movements woke up Liu Xu, and Liu Xu found that Cai Wenji was looking at the computer screen in confusion, and immediately said with embarrassment, "I thought about it all night and changed hundreds of names. But I still feel that no name can adequately describe the Tao I have found.”
"So after much thought, I decided to use the simplest and most unpretentious name!" Liu Xu covered his face, feeling ashamed of his inability to choose a name.
"Is this the Tao that you, Master, have found?" Cai Wenji asked hesitantly, "The Tao of readers, what kind of Tao is this!" "It is the most unpretentious Tao for the author!" Liu Xu said with a smile, "Actually, I can’t think of anything profound to say, but last night, when I thought about the 1,200 readers sitting opposite me last night, I thought of a lot of things.”
"My Romance of the Three Kingdoms was originally a blockbuster book. Because of cultural differences and my own willfulness, the first three chapters directly discouraged 99.99% of readers. In the end, readers like Hu Tao stood up. They Little by little, he helped me write comparative dictionaries, little by little he helped me promote among various reader groups, and little by little he helped me produce various fan and peripheral second creations, through songs one after another and various second creations. , which finally opened the way for me to sign as an author, and so did you later.”
"Without these lovely readers, I would never have been able to reflect on you, nor would I have been able to meet you, let alone create this empire."
"In fact, everything I have is given to me by my readers, and all my strength is based on my readers. They are everything to me and the foundation of my existence. I can conquer the whole world not because of me How strong I am is not because of how good my writing is, but because these readers love me, believe in me, help me, and make me successful!"
"This is just like the power of reading in my hand. Reading is not a noun, let alone the name of a company, but the readers who read the text. It is the power generated by the readers reading the articles."
"This is the foundation of the entire world, the source of all power, and it is also my way."
"The way of readers should be passed on to readers and spread across the world, delighting readers in thousands of words."
"The way of a reader is to respect the reader, be respectful and grateful to all readers."
"The way of a reader is to be a good reader, a good writer, a good writer, and a good writer."
"The way of readers is to love them. Readers are all my sons, and they bow their heads to Ru Ziniu."
"The way of a reader is to protect the reader. If the reader is in trouble, even across the world, I should save him with my life!"
After Liu Xu finished speaking, countless thunders suddenly sounded between the sky and the earth. The two of them looked out the window and forgot about it, but they saw a clear sky stretching as far as the eye could see.
