One powder tops ten blacks [Comprehensive]

After returning from Bucky's hometown, Ye Xi was in a state of... anxiety.He wants to write something, desperately wants to express something.That remote and poor town, that ancient and mysterious church, the dangerous priest, and the flower of the witch named Lilith, the resulting story, a love tragedy?A love that lasts until death?Or a huge lie?

The whole incident seems to be shrouded in a huge fog, and the truth is hidden in it. It is hazy. You seem to have glimpsed something, but you can't be sure of anything. The truth and the false are confusing you from beginning to end.

Ye Xi sat in the room for a day, and then wrote this story, "A Love Named Lilith".

Unlike the previous story, this one is a tragedy.The beginning of the story is that a young man takes a pair of brothers back to his hometown in the countryside, and there is only an elderly grandmother at home.One of the brothers strayed into the forest, which was considered by the locals to be the residence of the devil, and saw an ancient church and a mysterious and handsome priest.A bouquet of yellow flowers in a young man's home leads to a love story in the past.

The youth's grandfather entered that remote forest in order to pick this kind of flower when he was young.As a result, he was bitten by a poisonous snake and fell to the ground, and the flowers were scattered all over the ground.On the verge of death, the young man was full of despair, but just at this time, a priest passed by.

"Help me." Young begged him.

The priest said, "If you give your soul, then it will be as you wish."

The hopeless young man couldn't care about anything else, he agreed to the priest's request, made a deal with the devil, and gave his soul.The saved young man, with flowers in his arms, went to see his beloved with great joy.In the end, they get married, have children, and live happily ever after.Young people, however, never felt secure.Ever since he came back from the forest that time, his whole body has been disturbed, and despair follows him everywhere.

He knew that the priest with whom he made a deal was actually a devil from darkness, and only devils can seduce human souls.He loves his wife, and his wife is a wonderful person. After a hundred years, his wife will go to heaven, and he will go to hell alone.As the young man grew old, he began to regret, unwilling to leave his wife and let her go to heaven alone.

"Heaven without you is like hell to me," his wife, a kind woman, once said.

And how could he let her fall into hell?

So he regretted it, he broke the deal with the priest.

"He hid under the protection of the Lord, and I could not find his soul," said the priest.

"However, no one can cheat me, he will pay the price!"

*******

After Ye Xi sent the story, he received a reply half a month later.

Still the editor-in-chief of the New York Fiction News, the editor-in-chief expressed his love for this story excitedly, "This is simply a great story! It can attract anyone to fall in love with it, and it makes me want to stop!"

"However, this story is full of too much fog and confusion. We have nowhere to know the truth. Lilith, how did the witch's flower come from? Why did it grow in that remote forest? The true identity of the priest What is it? How old is that church? Why does the grandfather in the article see the red Lilith, but his wife sees the yellow one?"

"The last question, why did the protagonist see Lilith in yellow at the beginning, but in the end it was red? What does it mean?"

This novel became popular, and it quickly became popular throughout the literary and artistic circles in New York at a speed that no one expected.

Compared with the previous article, which was full of fairy-tale success and happy ending, it is obvious that this tragic story shrouded in fog from the beginning to the end is more attractive to readers in the New York literary and art circles.

Ye Xi never expected that such a tragedy, which even he himself could not understand, and a story full of confusion, would become popular all over New York.

Letters from readers were sent to the newspaper office one by one, and the newspaper office sent them to Ye Xi in turn.

"Suspense? Love? Tragedy? No, this is not a simple love drama, nor is it a complicated suspense drama. This is an exploration of human nature. Lilith means dying love, desperate love, why does Lilith Despair? Why is she in despair? What does the poisonous snake hiding behind the beautiful flowers symbolize? As we all know, poisonous snakes have always been synonymous with Lilith, and this legendary witch is no different from a poisonous snake."

"Recovering a life from the brink of death, my grandfather's eyes are only blood red. Perhaps this is why he thinks Lilith is red. He made a deal with the devil and paid the price of his soul In the end, the love for his wife encouraged him. Human nature defeated evil. He chose to abandon the deal with the devil. This is the victory of human nature! It is the power of love! And what this world lacks is precisely this A fearless love!"

"In the end, the protagonist of the story, the younger brother of the pair of young brothers, why did he see the red Lilith? From the context of the story, perhaps it was the priest who caused his change. As for the deeper reason, we have no way of knowing Know."

"..."

In addition to these commendatory remarks, there are also many derogatory remarks to pinch this novel.

"This story is full of doubts. Until the end, the truth of the facts was not clearly explained, but a bigger mystery was left. This makes people wonder if this is another way of writing by the author, deliberately setting up suspense , attracting people into the game? But they can’t give a perfect answer.”

"Human nature? No, I only saw the author's admiration for the hypocritical priest. He likes this character very much. It is not difficult to see the protagonist's curiosity about the priest, and then step by step into the temptation of the priest. Smart people, this Time to hide away, not to throw yourself into a trap. Stupid protagonist, stupid author!"

"God will not forgive you! Damn, author who wrote this story, insulted the priest, sullied the church, sensationalist! You deserve hell!"

"..."

This novel has caused heated discussions since the climb.

People who like it regard it as a classic, and think it is a profound exposition of human nature, and it is a work that can touch people's hearts. Although the author's writing style is still immature, and there are many mistakes in it, the flaws are not concealed. This is still a good novel .

People who don't like it will pinch it even more, thinking that this is a failure, a sensationalist, and a novel story and writing method to attract people's attention.All of a sudden, there was a scolding war in the literary and art circles.As the saying goes, one fan is top ten black, but the group of people in the literary and art circles who rely on their pens for a living are not weak in their mouths.When this literati scolded Zhan, he was not inferior to those aunts in the vegetable market, citing scriptures, well-founded, well-organized, and full of gunpowder.

For a time, it was a bloodbath, and the entire literary and art circles were arguing for a whole month because of such a novel.

As the author of the novel that caused this bloodbath, Ye Xi himself was... calm and unaffected.The main reason is that the newspaper had the foresight to protect his address, otherwise... he would have been hacked to death by those fanatical religious elements within minutes.

As the chief culprit of all this, Ye Xi is safe and unaffected. His favorite thing to do these days is to hold various newspapers in New York and watch those big names in the literary and art circles scold and fight on them. .With the fierce scolding and the strong smell of gunpowder, Ye Xi believed that if they were face to face now, they would definitely roll up their sleeves, go shirtless, and fight!

Tsk tsk, Ye Xi was dumbfounded and amazed, these literati are no different from those shrews in the vegetable market when they get angry.

Anyway, he's on fire.

It became popular and became an instant hit.

Although it is black and red, black and red...

*********

The final impact of this novel is far beyond the imagination of Ye Xi and the newspaper.

It has been reprinted by countless newspapers and magazines, not only in New York, or even in the United States, but this novel has appeared in countless regions and countries.Although not every place is like New York, causing great heat and discussion.

But there is no doubt that this novel is popular.

Even Ye Xi became popular, and his previous novel was also found out, and of course he was severely criticized.The literary and art circles said that what he wrote was a modern fairy tale, false!He also questioned the relationship between the protagonist and his best friend, and the result...was another bloody fight.

Ye Xi felt the feeling of having a lot of popularity, but fortunately... he still has the comfort of money.TOEFL, this time the manuscript fee has been tripled, ninety dollars, which is a lot of money, a fortune!

Ye Xi was pleasantly surprised, his fame and fans were all fake!Only money is real.

Just when Ye Xi was holding the ninety dollars and was in ecstasy, the literary and art circles in New York caused another bloodbath because of another novel.

The title of this novel is "Red"

Strictly speaking, this is not a complete novel.It only supplements some deficiencies in the novel "A Love Named Lilith" and places that make readers feel confused, thus unraveling the fog that engulfed the whole novel.

Lilith is a witch's flower that grows from the blood. It grows from the blood, the color is like blood, and it is scarlet.In desperation, Lilith cut herself with a knife, and the blood flowed out, thus growing the witch's flower named after her.The flower is like a lily, pure and romantic, attracting people who are immersed in happiness and love.All out of Lilith's jealousy, in order to lure ignorant humans, this blood-red witch's flower is covered with false colors.

In the eyes of happy people, they are pure yellow.

They are as scarlet as blood in the eyes of the unfortunate.

After the grandfather sold his soul to the devil, he could no longer feel happiness. He lived in fear all the time, and since then his eyes were only scarlet.

The reason why the protagonist in the story saw the yellow Lilith at the beginning was because he felt the love in that warm family, and why he saw the red one at the end may be because he was overwhelmed by the priest’s despair and darkness. Influence, or maybe because of...

This novel is signed by the priest, there is no sending address, and there is no way to know the receiving address.

The scolding war that had gradually subsided in the literary and art circles once again caused a new round of bloody storm because of this novel.

This time even Ye Xi was affected, so he had to come forward and write an announcement.
