Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the impact of this little easter egg, and the topic of the episode title quickly became a hot search.
Yi An successfully checked in for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
In fact, there is an interesting story about "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
It is said that when Mr. Jin Yong was designing the characters for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", Duan Yu was the only male protagonist.
The novel attempts to write about the various aspects of the world, the joys and sorrows of this world, through Duan Yu's experiences and perspective. However, unexpectedly, when Qiao Feng first appeared in Chapter 14, not only did Duan Yu get shocked, but even the author was infected by Qiao Feng's heroic spirit. In the later stages, the author leaned more and more towards him, to the point that Qiao Feng played the leading role in several important scenes!
From the incident at Xingzilin to Xiao Feng's battle at Juxianzhuang.
Even if there are tens of thousands of people against me, I will still go forward. This is the true meaning of dominance.
No wonder everyone in Tian Long’s TV series always jokes that Xiao Feng comes out with a speaker again.
No one can beat him in his bgm.
This is indeed the case. With Azhu, he is able to fight against many heroes.
The mighty and powerful scene, the awe-inspiring scene, made the audience's blood boil.
This battle also allowed Qiao Feng to gain a confidante, Azhu.
Some netizens said:
The combination of these two people is somewhat similar to Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
The man is a great hero, and the woman is a pretty and eccentric lady.
However, the first great tragedy of the book comes precisely from this.
As to whether the setting of three protagonists in the novel was Jin Yong’s original intention, it is now impossible to verify.
…
And when the time came to the third day.
Most readers have basically finished reading "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
The honorary professor of a certain university who had previously criticized the Chu Kuang The Condor Heroes trilogy as being worse than the previous one became silent after being convinced by Tianlong.
It was not until this morning that he finally posted a book review.
This book review is called "The world seems bright and clear, but it is full of monsters and demons."
He felt really bad when he was slapped in the face.
At the beginning of the article, this person laughed bitterly and ridiculed himself for being "slapped in the face by an old thief":
“It’s not shameful to say it, after all, this old thief has slapped readers in the face more than once or twice. Although I feel bitter, it’s still a great pleasure to see the birth of such a book.
Let’s talk about the book “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils”.
My conclusion is that this book is the best martial arts novel of Chu Kuang and even Blue Star, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy is not as good as it.
Just as the title of this article says, the world in the book is bright and clear, but it is full of monsters and ghosts, making it a thrilling and fascinating world.
However.
Behind these characters, plots and world lies the boundless transcendence of Buddhism.
It is sometimes revealed in the text, expressing the helplessness of the suffering of all living beings, and once again showing the compassion of "Pity the people of the world, who have so many worries."
When it comes to the imagination of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", the only word to describe it is "shocking".
But there is one person who is worth mentioning.
That is the Sweeping Monk who appeared in the later part of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
There is a similar character in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", Master Jueyuan, who eventually created Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang.
The Sweeping Monk, like him, is a monk who practices wholeheartedly and pursues ultimate liberation.
If there is any difference, Jueyuan has learned peerless martial arts but still does not know what martial arts are;
The Sweeping Monk, on the other hand, has a bird's-eye view and does it intentionally.
Did Jueyuan participate in the Huashan Sword Contest
No.
Has the Sweeping Monk ever thought of dominating the world
No.
The Sweeping Monk doesn't even want to be the abbot of Shaolin Temple, so what else would he do
They have seen through all worldly achievements, which are nothing but birth, existence, decay and death.
Martial arts were just something they learned as a byproduct of their practice, or just a fork in the road of exploration, a node, but by no means their ultimate goal.
Why did the Sweeping Monk stand by and watch Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo secretly learn martial arts from the Sutra Library instead of taking action to stop them
Because in his opinion, martial arts is a minor path, and if it is not learned with a heart of seeking the truth, the achievements will ultimately be limited.
Of course, this limitation only applies to the peerless master, the Sweeping Monk.
It was not until the two of them had achieved some success and were fighting each other that he came out to enlighten them, and finally made them let go of their obsession with martial arts, hatred, and their country, and achieve enlightenment.
In fact, I think when people reach a certain level, they will return to thinking and exploring the ultimate concern.
However, people like Jueyuan and Sweeping Monk who go straight to the ultimate questions and achieve something are rare among the vast number of people in the world. We, who are unable to see through the mundane world, can only look up to them.
No one is without injustice, and all love is sin.
This can be said to all living beings.
But it does not refer to transcendent people like the Sweeping Monk.
As a fish that escapes the net of various tragedies in the novel, I think the existence of the Sweeping Monk itself may be what Chu Kuang wants to tell us:
Tianlong is not a dark world without light.
How you end up depends on how you want to live.
Let me also talk about a vulgar topic:
The Sweeping Monk should be the ceiling of Chu Kuang’s martial arts power, right
It feels like even Dugu Qiubai is a little bit behind in the realm of cultivating the mind."
…
Martial arts cannot avoid the ranking of combat power.
This topic is both vulgar and easy to arouse discussion.
really.
The fact that this guy got slapped in the face by the old thief is no longer the point.
Everyone began to debate whether the Sweeping Monk was really the ceiling of Chu Kuang's martial arts power.
"The Sweeping Monk is indeed invincible, but have you forgotten the Shaolin Master Bodhidharma who is often mentioned in novels?"
"It is impossible to verify the fighting ability of Bodhidharma, but judging by the respect given to him by the characters in the book, he should be stronger than the Sweeping Monk."
"Dharma Patriarch has almost no involvement in the plot. His presence is not as strong as Dugu Qiubai's."
"Even if we don't mention Patriarch Bodhidharma, are those from the Xiaoyao Sect any worse?"
"I feel like while others are practicing martial arts, the Xiaoyao Sect's group has already started cultivating immortality."
"The Xiaoyao Sect also has a founder who is probably also a great man."
"If we compare the ancestors, Huang Shang, the author of the Nine Yin Manual, is also a top fighter."
"Where is Zhang Sanfeng?"
"Where's Wang Chongyang?"
"In the old thief's martial arts novels, there are still many big guys, but many of them live in different times."
"As for the main characters, I feel Xiao Feng is the strongest."
"Zhang Wuji is not weak either, and Xu Zhu's martial arts are incredible. It's just that he himself is not very skilled in using them. Xiao Feng himself has also expressed his feelings many times in the original text."
"Hero Guo disagrees!"
"It would be great if these people could have a swordfight at Mount Huashan in the same era."
All right.
Perhaps this is the reason why various Jin Yong's heroic stories existed in the Great Celestial Empire in the past.
…
What surprised Lin Yuan was:
Amidst the chaotic discussion, a bunch of people actually went to the comment section of Xianyu's blog:
"It's time for Fish Dad to get to work!"
"Why don't you arrange Chu Kuang's TV series "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" right away?"
"Xianyu is the most suitable person to shoot Chu Kuang's martial arts."
"I am also looking forward to the TV series, but I am even more looking forward to Yudie's TV series soundtrack."
"really."
“The songs that Yudie wrote for the Condor Heroes trilogy all felt very fitting with the plot.”
"It takes time to film a TV series, how about releasing some songs to promote it first?"
“Just wait for the song to be released!”
"Fish Dad, why don't you join forces with the public's call?"
"What a linkage, in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils there is the setting of Murong in the south and Qiao Feng in the north. Do you think this setting is very similar to Xianyu in the south and Chu Kuang in the north?"
"puff!"
"The old thief hinted that he was Xiao Feng, and that Yu Dad was Murong Fu?"
"The old thief Chu Kuang is arrogant and domineering, and he may compare himself to Xiao Feng; while Yu Die is a gentleman who is as gentle as jade, and he is similar to Murong Fu in some sense. Both of them occupy the southern position. Are you two breaking up?"
"Hahahahaha, are we breaking up?"
"So, the sentence "I, Xiao Feng, a great man, can be on par with a villain like you" was said by Chu Kuang to Xian Yu?"
"Very likely."
"I said Chu Kuang's new book is so popular, why has Yu Dad kept silent? There must be something wrong (dog head)"
…
Lin Yuan was confused.
Is it okay if Xianyu and Chu Kuang broke up
The imagination of netizens this year is even more outrageous than that of the previous year.
But if you think about it carefully, it does have some flavor. The setting of "Murong in the South and Qiao Feng in the North" in the novel is so magical.
It seems that Chu Kuang wrote this book by copying the real-life setting of "The Envy of Fish in the South and the Chu Kuang in the North".
so:
Nan Murong = Nan Xianyu
Northern Qiao Feng = Northern Chu Kuang
Could it be that the old thief Chu Kuang is really implying something about me, Da Xianyu
Bah. Bah. Bah.
I was almost led astray by this group of netizens.
This is obviously a coincidence.
Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and angrily logged into Xianyu's blog account and typed: "A song about Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils will be released tomorrow night."
Prevent netizens from over-thinking.
Lin Yuan felt it necessary to ask Xianyu to write a song for Chu Kuang's new book to prove their relationship.
As for what song to use
There are actually many good songs about "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
However, the most classic song, of course, is the one sung by Wakin Chau called "The Hard-to-Read Sutra".
This song starts from the perspective of Buddhism and combines it with the theme of the novel itself. Zhou Huajian's unique voice perfectly interprets "the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop."
There is always a feeling that fate is predetermined.
The pursuit of that perfect world seems to be just one step away, but the reality is that it is out of reach.
As far as martial arts songs go, this song combined with "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" can serve as a model for the theme song of a TV series adapted from a novel.
Full of philosophy.
In fact, this song has become popular with the hit TV series.
Lin Yuan plans to release this song first.
therefore.
As soon as he finished posting the update, Lin Yuan got up and went to the company's recording studio. He planned to sing himself.
Although this song is quite difficult, few people in the Chinese music scene dare to cover it, and most of those who dare to cover it have failed miserably.
for example…
However, Lin Yuan is still confident that he can control it.
And when Lin Yuan went to record the song.
His post has attracted the attention of countless people.
