Chapter 445 Passionate Swordsman Ruthless Sword
Among the more than 70 works of Mr. Gu Long, the most famous one is probably the first to recommend "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", which is also inseparable from its great success in adapting the TV series.=
It is no exaggeration to say that Zheng Shaoqiu's version of Xiang Shuai almost made this character well-known, and the degree to which he was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people was almost comparable to Sun Wukong, Bai Snake and others.
However, when it comes to Gu's martial arts achievements, the most aggrieved and lingering "The Swordsman of the Passionate Swordsman" must be the first.
The critics unanimously believe that this novel has surpassed the scope of martial arts novels and has become a warning work for exploring life philosophy. The protagonist Li Xunhuan in the book is also one of the few classic artistic images in martial arts novels that can use psychological analysis of it based on psychological theories.
This novel combines emotions into the scenery, and the attempts and explorations of writing martial arts novels in poetic language are also learned and imitated by writers in other fields.
Therefore, the statement that "The Relentless Swordsman" as the pinnacle of Mr. Gu Long's work represents his highest achievement is valid and fair.
As the spokesperson for Gu Long's middle-aged life, Li Xunhuan clearly conveyed his insight into human nature and understanding of life to readers. From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Xunhuan is the incarnation of Gu Long. In the novel, Li Xunhuan's explanation of loneliness, his love for wine, and his attitude towards feelings can all see the shadow of the author himself.
Of course, from the perspective of work inheritance, the character Li Xunhuan has a consistent relationship with Li Mubai in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". At least their emotional settings are very similar.
Because of his friend's morality, Li Mubai was unable to get married with Yu Xiulian. Li Xunhuan also gave up his beloved Lin Shiyin to Long Xiaoyun because of his friend's morality. This has also become the plot setting that makes readers most worried about this book.
However, the author finally matched the optimistic and beautiful Sun Xiaohong to Li Xunhuan. After all, Mr. Gu Long clearly expressed regret for the relationship between Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian.
Why do the tragedy happen again?
However, this sentence was not so appropriate for Lin Tiange at this time, because the tragedy had just happened to him.
Every time I think I am well prepared and at least I won’t lose so embarrassingly, but every time I am beaten so hard that I have no power to fight back.
After Lin Tiange left the summit, he did not return to the hotel. Instead, he walked around the West Lake, gradually leaving the noise of the crowd behind him. The feeling of oppression that he felt from Liu Jingting was gone. He slowly relaxed in his heart.
Lin Tiange began to seriously think about the grudge between him and Liu Jingting. From the first time he contributed to "Jinglu", he experienced his own departure from "Jinglu" and joined the Yellow River literature and art. Then Gu Yongsheng led the world with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and completely achieved his dominance. Then, when he was suffocating, a fact was about to emerge.
Gu Yongsheng's strength is simply an invincible level.
Thinking of this, Lin Tiange smiled bitterly, and at the same time made up his mind that he would not do similar things in the future.
...
It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when the writers returned to the hotel. Liu Jingting once again became the focus. Traditional experts represented by Feng Changxing and Xu Yuanhuai wanted to talk to him about "A Generation". They wanted to know whether Liu Jingting's poem was purely a suitable work for tonight, or a cumulative work of reflecting on history;
Yi Shui'an, Xu Qing and others want to know more about "Little Li Flying Dagger". Although the novel only has one chapter, with their level, it is easy to see that the protagonist of this novel, Li Xunhuan, is different from the protagonists of all previous martial arts works, including his morbid (cough) setting, including the woman he has been carving;
Some other young writers would like to ask Liu Jingting about the secrets of writing and film and television adaptation, such as what role did his three years of traveling around the world play in his creation, and how should he use words to describe the film-like sense of pictures.
Liu Jingting answered one by one, about the poem's "cross-era meaning" and "each takes the connotation they need", a new attempt on "Little Li's Flying Knife", and about the film and television adaptation "Stories are King".
After returning to the hotel, Liu Jingting realized that his lips were dry and his tongue was dry.
"You really plan to call this novel 'Xiao Li Feidao'?"
After returning to the room, the others could not continue to pester Liu Jingting, and Xu Qing took the opportunity to ask.
After taking a big sip of water, Liu Jingting replied, "There is another name, the passionate swordsman, the ruthless sword."
Xu Qing, who was also about to drink water, suddenly stopped, looked at Liu Jingting incredibly, and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Do you feel that it's not implicit enough?"
Xu Qing took a sip of water and said, "What do you think?"
"The name of a novel, especially a popular novel, does not need to be too obscure. Could it be that the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Return of the Condor Heroes are not straightforward?"
Xu Qing nodded and had to agree.
There were several misunderstandings about the title of this novel during its dissemination. When it was serialized, it was divided into two parts. The first one was "The Swordsman of the Swordsman of the Sword", and the sequel was "The Soul of the Iron Bold". Later, it was merged and published under the name "The Swordsman of the Swordsman of the Swordsman of the Swordsman", and after it was spread to the inland, it was misnamed "The First Sword of the Swordsman of the Swordsman of the Swordsman".
The question follows. The protagonist of this novel is clearly Li Xunhuan who uses a knife, but why is the title of the book completely irrelevant to the knife? Is it said that Ah Fei is the real protagonist of this novel?
Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Xu Qing asked, "So, is A Fei the protagonist of this novel?"
With time and space shifting, Liu Jingting faced this problem again.
Judging from the main line of the novel, A Fei is indeed responsible for the important task of leading the story forward, especially when he fell into Lin Xian'er's beauty trap, a large part of the story followed was spread around this point, especially Chapter 25, which directly describes A Fei's situation by "the sword is ruthless but the person is passionate".
To put it this way, it seems that the protagonist of this novel is indeed A Fei, but if you only understand it this way, it is obviously a bit narrow-minded. After all, A Fei is not the only one in the novel "the passionate swordsman and the ruthless sword".
Jing Wuming used a sword and had a passionate person that was difficult to explain;
Guo Songyang’s use of a sword is a serious and sincere temperament;
Just like in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" does not refer to Guo Jing alone, but it is also a broad reference, but Guo Jing is the indisputable first protagonist.
"At least in my opinion, Li Xunhuan must be the first protagonist of this novel. The passionate swordsman here should be understood in a broader sense. After the content is released, you will know."
Looking at the entire novel, whether it is the number of times the name "Li Xunhuan" appears or the personal charm he shows, he is worthy of the title of the number one protagonist.
When Liu Jingting discussed this issue with others, someone once raised the view that "maybe he is a god above all characters, and is a npc that breaks from the author's writing", and Liu Jingting also expressed his support.
Isn’t the vitality of a novel that continues to persist in these debates?
"When the official serialization was officially released, the title of the book 'The Relentless Sword of the Passionate Sword' was used."
