If Huan Hua Wash Sword Record and Ming Jian Romantic Style are the reorganization of Gu Long's transformation, and consciously seek a position between tradition and innovation, 1966' s "Wulin Waishi" and "Undoubtedly Pride" are the second reorganization, which makes the martial arts story less heavy. Through these two wanderings, the whole dish and thinking, the next Legend of Chu Liuxiang will be vast.
Let's talk about the history of Wulin (note 56). This book integrates at least the following parts: detective and reasoning style. "Going to Martial Arts" and Bright Rhythm in "Huanhua Washing Sword Record". The wisdom of iron in The Legend of Heroes with Banners. The temperament of female characters in The Sword of Romance opens a whole new world. Double de-historicize and construct a new history of a family. The official history follows from Hanshu, mostly based on Confucian orthodoxy, including Scholars; In Qing Dynasty, Wu wrote The Scholars with the attitude of "unofficial history" and "fictional history", and made a bitter satire on The Scholars. Therefore, from the word "unofficial history" in "Wulin unofficial history", it is conceivable that Gu Long found another way. This is accomplished by double "de-historization".
First, because the Kuomintang withdrew from Taiwan Province Province for fear of touching the wound of "changing the dynasty", the martial arts novels in Taiwan Province Province generally did not touch "real history", but only retained the "ancient Jianghu" structure (Note 57), which was different from the Hong Kong combination of Liang and Jin, and also retained more content than the old masters (Note 58). On the basis of such "fiction", Gu Long ruled out the tradition of martial arts, and had a second history and fiction. To be more specific, regarding the authenticity and official history of these predecessors, Gu Long, with a stroke of a pen, removed the complicated equipment such as "revenge", "magic weapon", "leader" and "noble faction", and even omitted the process of practicing martial arts, less martial arts and more wits, and jumped forward. The myth of Liang Yusheng's "Tianshan Martial Arts", Jin Yong's "Five Wonders" and "Bard" has come to an end and returned to the real world where anyone can kill you. Shaolin is gone, Wudang is gone. For the fake "invincible treasure", the masters killed each other, and almost all the older generation died, leaving only Xiaoyao Wang (Chai) and Mrs. Wang (Yunmeng Fairy) still fighting, and they all ended up mutually assured destruction. The new ones don't come, and the old ones don't go. Rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes for young people, and rivers and lakes are a series of new history and foreign history written "now". Therefore, starting from the fake secrets (treasures) and the new blood wheel, it not only satirizes the martial arts world of Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, Longsheng Wo and others (there are a lot of secrets, magical powers and a long list of martial arts systems), but also declares the heroism of "Look at me now" to the predecessors. Does the Happy King want to destroy Shen Lang? Shen Lang also wants the Happy King to dismount. Can seniors hold back the waves? Gu Long is coming out. Chu Liuxiang, Xiao Li Feidao, Lu Xiaofeng and seven kinds of weapons have appeared one after another since the beginning of Wulin history, thus establishing a new martial arts pedigree.
Brightening of characters. How did the hero Shen Lang live after his father's death? It doesn't matter. Gu Long didn't spend time on the growth of his role, which was a tradition established by Liang, Jin and Wolong (the old school didn't have to go to great lengths). Young people are so strong as soon as they appear, they can't see clearly how to practice, and they don't have to look. The key is what to practice. This is the brightness of the character's background. The names of the main characters are mysterious:,,, Panda, Happy King, Yunmeng Fairy, Jin hopeless; Most of them are flat voices (not young people), and "flying", "flowers", "cats", "cloud dreams" and "happiness" are so light. Although the Happy King is a lean man, he is called "Happy" and is happy outside the customs. Panda put down his henchmen and went to Shen Lang. Needless to say, rogue Wang Lianhua said that Mrs. Wang married as soon as she got married, and bowed to Shen Lang. Bai Feifei has almost dual personality, and the pressure she brings to readers is cleverly concealed by the "Ghost Palace Master" (crazy face). And Zhu Qiqi, as the daughter of the rich, should be very stable; Poor thing. She wants to flatter Shen Lang again and again (even her brother has been missing for a long time, only to suddenly remember-maybe Gu Long has forgotten him).
Ye Hongsheng's opinion is right. Chai Tian's influence will be mentioned again when discussing the "Chu Liuxiang" series. Dry wood is bound to meet fire. Perhaps the prodigal Gu Long will write the story of the prodigal sooner or later, but Chai Tian undoubtedly catalyzed this development. On the other hand, Jin Yong learned from Chai Tian earlier, but only adopted a partial concept. The legendary swordsman, his prodigal son, was one year behind the Wulin people. At that time, Gu Long was well received because of "Legend of Wulin", and the more "wave" of "Legend of Iron and Blood" also appeared. You can see who develops what route. Finding the right direction, the sense of oppression in previous works was swept away, and Gu Long began to write freely and happily. Therefore, Chen Mo, Ye Hongsheng/Lin Baochun and others regard Legend of Wulin as the beginning of a new stage. However, because there are still many references to traditional works, such as "wine, color, wealth and gas", the four ambassadors may imitate Jin Yong's "dragon, eagle, lion and bat" The plot is also a bit loose, not as pure as the later "symbolic encyclopedia" tendency-in short, there is still a sense of complexity in traditional works; The author thinks that this book belongs to the rising period of the alternation of the old and the new.
It must be emphasized that, in addition to creating a new route for the prodigal son to return, Wulin Waishi is also Gu Long's first model of "romance". Zhu Qiqi and Bai Feifei are different typical women. Their strong and different love for Shen Lang affirmed the power of Gu Long's "female writing". This is related to his contact with many women after he left Zheng Lili (Note 66). The value of the prodigal son to the history of China Wushu: The improvement of the level of love is the meaning of self-creation, and none of them are unforgettable before. In retrospect, Bai He and Xiao Feiyu in Lover's Arrow, the iron and water in Legend of the Banner, the coldness and peace, and Wen Daidai, Fang Baoyu and the little princess in Huanhua are simply drinks for players. Yu and Lin Daiyu in "The Sword of the Romantic Moon" did not fall in love after all. Little sister Zhu burst into tears, and it is hard to call her "adult love" for her uncle.
Zhu Qiqi dares to love and hate, but she is kind and straightforward from the inside out; It looks clingy, but it's actually simple and lovely. She appeared in public as the daughter of the richest man, pursuing Shen Lang's popularity all over the country, and was almost stumped by Wang Lianhua because she was "true". She is loyal to her feelings and full of confidence in her vision. Unfortunately, the more active the seven girls are, the more Shen Lang escapes. This is the wonderful reaction of most men. They are untrained and don't know how to react. To this end, Zhu Qiqi even arranged a luxurious scene, dressed himself as a happy king, just to let Shen Lang kill her-at least this time, Shen Lang will remember her, right? Who knows that Shen Lang is playing kissy-poo with others on purpose, just trying to get her out.
Compared with Zhu Qiqi, Bai Feifei is a "fake" person, and she is deeper than Shen Lang. When he first started out, he was as weak as water and became a slave. Men like such women, and Shen Lang is no exception. After many twists and turns, readers find that she is actually a ghost palace master, and she can hardly keep her mouth shut. Beauty and weakness are women's greatest weapons. Only such a woman can make Shen Lang, a "wise man who worries about everything", fall into the hands of a happy king. Her scheming doesn't work for Shen Lang, but what works is that Shen Lang is soft-hearted. She knows "soft" best. The main reason for Bai Feifei's double-faced personality is that she can't "forget", which is also the deep intention of Wulin scholars: "Please forget the heavy past (tradition)." Zhu Qiqi's family is very happy, while Shen Lang has digested the darkness of childhood. But Bai Feifei, remember misfortune all her life. She lives for revenge, revenge for her father's happy king and revenge for the whole world. She married her father and retaliated in this terrible way; Before the wedding, she took an aphrodisiac in her diet and imposed herself on Shen Lang (it was a dream and a painful taste). After killing Shen Lang, she left her children to commemorate this "love":
Bai Feifei is terrible. Although Zhu Qiqi said, "If I can't get you, I hope you die ... I can't get you, and I don't want others to get you." (Chapter 23) It was the "moderate" Bai Feifei who really did such a thing. Her paranoia and self-abuse can't be entirely attributed to Happy King abandoning their mother and daughter. . Strictly speaking, Zhu Qiqi and Bai Feifei are stubborn and paranoid women, but one sacrifices herself and the other abuses others. They are not only an enhanced version of Zhu Xi 'er and Ji's tragic feelings in Excalibur on the Wind and Moon, but also Gu Long's further understanding of women. When Jin Yong was still "worshipping" the goodness and beauty of women, Gu Long had dug deep into each other, which was a good thing. When you know that a woman is not a "good sister", you can appreciate the classics of Zhu Qiqi and Bai Feifei, and Shen Lang is the smartest man. He knows how to ignore Qiqi's shortcomings and only look at her beauty inside and outside.
Finally, Bai Feifei returned the favor and took the baby away. She wants to raise the offspring of the smartest man (good) and the smartest woman (evil) alone, just as her mother supports her. The child's inner character and the war of genes will affect the series of "Sentimental Swordsman's Ruthless Sword" in the future and become Gu Long's classic fable of human nature.
Comment 2
Martial arts, without martial arts wisdom, how to be an absolute beauty, how to make me infatuated, there are dozens of fights in the book Wulin Waishi. Whether it is bright or dark, funny or depressing, it embodies Mr. Wang's efforts and talents.
There is too much talk about love in the bar, so let's enjoy the n times of big and small showdown in the book.
This post is dedicated to our wise and calm, evil and lovely son pitying Hua, flamboyant, brave and resourceful panda, peerless and elegant Mrs. Wang, refusing madness and expressing sympathy to the happy king who usurps the host's role.
Scene 1: Zhu Qiqi+Shen Lang VS Renyi Mountain Villa+Seven Masters.
Spectacular scene: 4 stars;
On the one hand, Renyi Mountain Villa, which is filled with heavy snow, is a leading figure-Renyi Sanlao, and the seven masters represent the new forces in Wulin, which is definitely not light. Coupled with a rendering of the previous generation, a desolate and dignified atmosphere has been imprisoned in this confrontation.
Wisdom content: 3 and a half stars
The trick of the seven girls is calculated, and they can cheat the so-called multi-star Qizhi. The content is by no means low, but it was discovered by Shen Lang a long time ago. It should only have three stars.
But still want to give seven girls as a shield, you can drag the meddlesome Shen Lang into a duel, and add half a star.
Elegance: 4 stars in Zhu Qiqi, 3 and a half stars in Shen Lang.
The elegance of the seven girls is not only amazing in the beauty of the white snow red carpet, but also amazing in her little courage. Even if the other person is a martial arts expert, as long as her friend is innocent, she dares to stand up for it.
Looking at the strong enemy, she smiled innocently and flirted with the down-and-out teenager, but everyone unconsciously fell into her trap. This calmness and courage can be worthy of the title of Jianghu children. But where can I find such lovely Jianghu children?
Shen Lang's elegance is hidden in the depths, and he will be surprised at first sight. He has changed from a despised down-and-out teenager to a peerless master, while Shen has always maintained absolute calm and elegance.
Although he didn't care just now. In an emergency, do it when you should! At the beginning, they completed the masters of two worlds, calmly turned around, calmly mounted their horses, calmly embraced beautiful women, and rushed to the distance without looking back.
Whether you are amazed or suspicious, Shen Lang said quietly, I am just like this!
General comment: Thanks to Mr. Gu Long for giving us such a perfect opening. That turning point, a curse, a sigh, a generation of rivers and lakes left sadly.
Fight with wits against tomb no.2
Shen Lang VS gold hopeless VS Mrs. Wang behind the scenes
The weirdness of the scene is four and a half stars.
The prospect is that a large number of Wulin people are vying for a number of mysterious treasures. First, they had a grand funeral, then they decided to choose a candidate through a competition, and finally they decided to organize a treasure hunt. Everyone is very happy.
Unexpectedly, they each have their own ulterior motives. First, death drew a bow, and then the "purple evil hand" reappeared in the rivers and lakes, saying that "the chaos began in the vast Wulin", and the vast and sparse atmosphere came to my face.
Wisdom: 5 stars
The best duel should be a split between the two sides.
This was Kim's desperate home until the secret of the treasure was revealed. He designed to lead a bunch of people into Biyang, hiding behind the scenes as dead terrorists, making full use of people's greedy nature and leaving many mysteries until the end.
At this time, Shen Lang began to show his detective talent, from quietly revealing Hua Ruixian's strategy to pretending to be in a coma, and then guessing the hopeless financial identity of gold, and using the true and false goading plan to easily subdue gold hopelessness. Every little victory is convincing.
For example, two peerless masters hold small hands to decide the outcome, each stroke is delicate and transparent, without the majestic momentum like wind and rain, but there is a gripping little round competition.
At first glance, it seems that Shen Lang is a shoo-in, but one wrong step will make him and Zhu Qiqi prisoners with unpredictable fate.
And behind the scenes, Mrs. Wang once again carried forward the wisdom of the Hengshan War-taking advantage of the fishermen. He quietly pocketed other people's trophies and let a large group of people play in the snow. Jin Shen doubted for a long time, only guessed the right head, not the end.
The big winner of this game is naturally Mrs. Wang.
Elegance: 4 stars in Shen Lang and 4 stars in gold.
Shen Lang's elegance in this field lies in his calmness and resourcefulness in the Jianghu, as well as his gentleness and generosity as a modest gentleman.
Facing the strangeness created by classmates Jin and Hua Ruixian, he didn't believe in evil or ghosts, defused the enemy's plots one by one and uncovered the plots behind the ghost hole one by one. Simple cleverness is not wisdom. Shen Lang's elegance lies in his consideration and understanding of others. Look at his gentle words to comfort Hua Ruixian, which reveals a powerful force, enough to make the enemy on the verge of madness cry and tell the truth.
After there is no hope of catching gold, give each other full trust. You said he had a plan, but at that moment he got golden sincerity.
In the face of gentle power, Jin hopes to show a man's masculinity and heroism.
Leng Yue snow, a gray robe is hunting, a tall figure holding a long bow, cold eyes, while humming, while shooting an ice arrow of punishment to the greedy world.
Such a lonely ronin must have a rough past. He was persecuted and left his hometown. He once met a bosom friend and pledged his loyalty to the death. He can completely cut off old grievances, but it is difficult to break brotherhood, even if that person is the meanest person in the world. He is lonely, arrogant and disdainful of the world, but he can entrust his life with a word from his bosom friend.
His elegance is a belief, a belief that few people dare to try. Only such a strong person with a burning heart can bear such a bleak life.
General comment: The confrontation between two elegant people is about wisdom and martial arts, but who expected that the result was to lose the name of chivalry and win a lifelong confidant. And our Shen Lang always smiles, thinking that what he lost in the last game was the trust of Renyizhuang, but what he won was the love of his life.
Against the first thief in three days, Shen Lang against the panda.
Wonderful degree: 3 and a half stars
A greasy, dirty and shabby shop, two teenagers who met for the first time but didn't ask their names, drinking wine and eating fat cows.
Jianghu children don't need to be polite to make friends. After a few words, they fight qigong, drink after drinking, and steal after stealing. I didn't expect to be touched upside down as soon as I entered my hand.
After touching everyone, be a buddy and be the best buddy in the world! -this kind of stirring, only belongs to the rivers and lakes!
Wisdom: 2 stars
Everyone drinks on the surface, touches his pockets at the bottom, and touches the pockets of the financial manager and his hands are empty!
However, they seldom touch their pockets and hurt each other's hearts. How many people can have such a mind!
Elegance: Panda 4 stars, Shen Lang 3 stars.
Some people are born bosses, such as pandas. As soon as he appeared, he walked like a tiger in the bustling Luoyang market, and no one was watching. Even if he dresses like a beggar, he can't stop a bold and free breath.
You should praise him as a hero. He suddenly looked like a rogue, grabbed a sheep, Shen Lang didn't know, wanted to drink, but stole his money.
The elegance of the panda is the heart of a warm-hearted child under the heroic and free-spirited skeleton. He is not a brave soldier, nor a robber who robs his family. As long as the purpose is correct, he doesn't care about the means. He does what he likes with a warm heart, takes the road he likes, and makes friends he likes. He is the happiest person!
Who can resist such happiness!
But compared with Shen's stealing skills, this fellow is behind.
You lead the sheep here, I touch the door there, you think you have it, I start counting the votes. According to the description in the book, we didn't see Shen reach out to the cat, and I don't know when his slender hand touched the cat quietly, even touched the private money, with a fascinating smile on his face.
But Shen Lang's elegance is that he is keen to make friends with just people, regardless of his position. Knowing that cats are rangers who rob the rich and help the poor, I immediately have an appreciation heart. The panda lost his possessions and wanted to marry him as his daughter. The so-called willingness to count votes after prostitution shows Shen's charm!
General comment: It was a funny duel, but Shen Lang won a Grand Slam in this competition, not only winning an inseparable friend in the future, but also slipping away from Yu Pei in Zhu Qiqi.
