Chapter 197 Ask the world if this mountain is the highest!
When Lin Zixuan was busy with the women's clothing store, the serialization of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" ended.
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" did not cause much response among readers, and it has always been lukewarm. This is related to its storyline and the slow serialization.
Although this martial arts novel is called "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", the story is full of conspiracies and tricks that destroy people's hearts.
It mainly talks about fighting for hegemony in the martial arts world and using any means for the sake of the purpose.
The battle between the Huashan Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, the internal struggle between the Five Mountains Sword Sect, the battle between the righteous and the Demon Sect, and the internal struggle between the Demon Sect are all for the sake of power and profit and for the sake of being the master of the country.
For this, I sacrificed my disciples and relatives, and I wrote about the ugliness of the world.
Even Linghu Chong, as the protagonist, has been abused all the time, so he has not had the opportunity to show his might and be proud.
Readers can grow up with Guo Jing when watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". When watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they can see Qiao Feng's heroic and chivalrous side, but Linghu Chong is like a free and unruly person, but in fact they have various ties and cannot let go. The mother-in-law and mother are not happy at all.
According to later online articles, it is not enough to kill and decisively.
Judging from the plot, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" all have a sense of family and country, and the pattern is very large.
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" always revolves around the world. Although it describes many characters with distinct personalities, it is inevitable that people will feel that the situation is too small and there is no broad space.
After all, the world is just a corner of the country.
In fact, later generations adapted the movie "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" successfully, portraying Dongfang Bubai as the leader of the Miao people and resisting the Han court, which elevated the story to the height of family and country.
But although Dongfang Bubai in the novel has become a peerless master, he hides in the embroidery of the Heimu Cliff and talks about love with Yang Lianting. He has completely lost his heroic spirit of using a strategy to plot against Ren Woxing.
This is not a master, this is a pervert.
Therefore, this story makes readers feel uncomfortable and naturally cannot resonate. This is an entertainment novel after all.
If in later generations, some scholars might analyze the profound meaning of the story, Linghu Chong's spiritual pursuit and other profound issues.
But in this era, entertainment novels were not valued by academics, and with the development of new literature, such novels have become the target of criticism. The reason why those people did not criticize "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was entirely due to Lin Zixuan's face.
Of course, some people also pursue "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", and most of them are people in the popular literary circle.
The one who impressed the most in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" was not Linghu Chong, but Dongfang Bubai.
Readers pay attention to Dongfang Bubai because he practiced the "Sunflower Book", and this martial arts masterpiece is really weird.
As the saying goes, if you want to practice magic skills, you must first castrate yourself.
Especially the scene of Dongfang Bubai's last embroidery, and the vague feelings with Yang Lianting, to be honest, it challenges the readers' bottom line, after all, this is not later generations.
During the Republic of China period, the social atmosphere was not very open, and the topics of transgender and homosexuality were easily controversial.
In fact, this kind of thing is extremely common in China. In the Ming Dynasty, it even formed a trend, that is, a child.
And "transgender" is even more well known. This is the case with eunuchs.
But you put these two hot topics together, and it also made the "transgender" Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting have some relationship. This is difficult to accept.
In this era, readers who like to be curious may accept it, and many normal readers will hate this kind of plot.
Some people also wrote letters to protest, but not many people protested.
Because the novel is covered with a layer of martial arts cloak and is popular literature itself, it has not attracted the attention of Taoists.
If "The Swordsman" is as popular as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there will definitely be people who use this incident to criticize Lin Zixuan for having problems with his thoughts and use this vulgar plot to attract readers.
Lin Zixuan didn't think much about it when he wrote it.
In later generations, Dongfang Bubai was a woman in the movie, and he was still the kind of heroic beauty, so he didn't think there was any problem between Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting.
It was not until he received a letter of protest that he realized that this was the generation gap of the times.
However, he didn't plan to modify it. It cannot be said that Dongfang Bubai became a real woman, not a eunuch, after practicing "Sunflower Book", it would be too fantasy.
If the relationship between Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting is deleted, it is difficult to explain why Dongfang Bubai believes so much in Yang Lianting and let him do whatever he wants in Heimu Cliff.
Moreover, there is something missing in such an oriental non-beaten personality.
So, let them argue!
Another topic that attracts readers' attention is who has the better martial arts skills in these three novels.
There are five masters and Huang Shang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wu Yazi and Tong Lao in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer".
These people all possess peerless martial arts and have their own unique skills, but they rarely have records of fighting.
So, readers use their imagination to analyze the martial arts skills of these martial arts masters from the plot of the novel.
If you look closely, these three martial arts novels have a lot of connections.
For example, the Beggars' Sect, which is better, Qiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm or Hong Qigong's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm, and Duan Yu's Beiming Divine Art and Ren Woxing's Star-Absorbing** has some origins.
Is the Dugu Nine Swords, which claim to be destroying all the martial arts of the world, really invincible in the world? Is the Dongfang Bubai really unbeaten?
Pingjinya saw this topic very popular, so she opened a section called Huashan Sword Controversy. Readers can write their own ranking of experts in letters.
Lin Zixuan just smiled when he found out. Many readers have argued about this kind of thing in later generations.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the monk sweeping the floor has not appeared yet. He is the hidden peerless master. But there has never been a conclusion on who is the best in the world. This is a topic of debate.
As sang in the theme song of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in later generations.
"In the world, is this mountain the highest, or is there another mountain higher than the sky. In terms of martial arts, I don't know which one is higher in the world, or the trick is the same as the same path."
Lin Zixuan has no plans to write martial arts novels for the time being, and the remaining martial arts novels are too controversial.
For example, the "Book and Sword" points out that Qianlong was the son of the Han people. This is a story circulated among the people and is unlikely. The Qing Dynasty royal family was not a fool.
There is also "The Deer and the Cauldron". This novel seems nothing in later generations, but it is absolutely not likable to write it during the Republic of China period. It may even be considered to support the restoration of the Qing Dynasty and reverse history.
Although there are plots of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty in "The Deer and the Cauldron", the relationship between Wei Xiaobao and Kangxi, as well as Wei Xiaobao's choices are both big problems and political incorrectness.
After the incident of Dongfang Bubai, Lin Zixuan now needs to seriously consider whether there is any conflict with the concepts of this era before writing novels.
It is not a big problem to write the heroine to death. At most, readers will scold her, but once it involves political or moral issues, it will cause a stir. (To be continued.)
