The protagonist is Zhang Junbao!
The reason why Zhang Junbao's supporters are so complacent is that the second chapter of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" has such a clear direction!
In this chapter.
He Zudao, one of the Three Saints of Kunlun, challenged Shaolin, but was defeated one after another by the unknown Jueyuan and even the young monk Zhang Junbao!
This is almost a death sentence for He Zudao!
How could the protagonist be slapped in the face by minor characters as soon as he appears on the stage
On the contrary, Zhang Junbao rose to prominence because of a small slap in the face to He Zudao, and successfully pretended to be powerful, but because he accidentally revealed the fact that he knew Luohan Fist -
This is the protagonist!
You know, Shaolin Temple hates learning martial arts secretly. Logically speaking, Zhang Junbao couldn't have learned Luohan Fist, so as soon as he revealed his martial arts, he stood on the opposite side of Shaolin!
Shaolin wants to capture Zhang Junbao.
Jueyuan couldn't bear to see his disciples suffer, so he took Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang and fled far away, escaping Shaolin's pursuit.
Now I’m showing off!
There are contradictions too!
Zhang Junbao’s image as the protagonist is almost revealed!
Not to mention that before Jueyuan died, he loudly recited a set of martial arts mantras, which was suspected to be the "Nine Yang Manual"!
And it was under such special circumstances that Guo Xiang and Zhang Junbao obtained the essence of "Nine Yang Manual"!
The plot even specifically points out:
Zhang Junbao listened attentively to Jueyuan's recitation, not daring to disturb him.
Doesn’t this mean that Zhang Junbao is quietly learning the Nine Yang Manual
Readers can easily imagine how powerful this martial art is.
The reason is still related to the "Nine Yin Scriptures" mentioned in the first two novels.
Nine Yin...
Nine Suns...
Since the names echo each other so well, no one doubts that these two martial arts should be of the same level.
What will happen if Zhang Junbao learns this martial art
This is the treatment of a natural son of the plane. He looks more like the protagonist than Yang Guo and Guo Jing!
Seeing this, some people have even imagined the scenes of Zhang Junbao fighting back to Shaolin and showing off, and forming the third national couple with Guo Xiang in the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy!
"That's fine."
"Guo Xiang, forget about Yang Guo."
"Zhang Junbao is your match."
Some readers who always feel sympathy for Guo Xiang think so.
In everyone's mind, Guo Xiang has changed from the protagonist to the heroine.
In fact, Guo Xiang's attitude towards Zhang Junbao is indeed a bit like the heroine's attitude towards the hero:
When Jueyuan died, Zhang Junbao was helpless and lost. Guo Xiang gave him her personal bracelet and recommended him to her parents.
That is Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
Good job.
There is also a token of love.
Zhang Junbao, you still say you are not the protagonist!
The only thing that's a bit strange is that the ending seems a bit wrong
At the end of the second chapter, Chu Kuang actually used the writing style of the Spring and Autumn Period to span more than ten years in one go!
The book says:…
One day, while strolling in the mountains, looking up at the floating clouds and down at the flowing water, Zhang Junbao seemed to have realized something.
He pondered in the cave for seven days and seven nights, and suddenly he understood everything. He realized the truth of using softness to overcome hardness in martial arts, and he couldn't help laughing towards the sky.
This loud laughter actually brought out a great master who inherited the past and opened up the future!
He combined his own understanding of boxing theory, the Taoist Chongxu Yuantong way and the internal power contained in the Nine Yang Manual to create the Wudang school of martial arts that will shine through the ages and illuminate the future generations.
Later, he traveled to Baoming in the north and saw three tall and straight peaks standing out in the sea of clouds. He gained some insights into martial arts and named himself Sanfeng.
That is Zhang Sanfeng, a rare genius in the history of Chinese martial arts.
…
This is the only doubt.
Everyone was wondering why Chu Kuang wrote it this way, skipping several years and directly writing that Zhang Junbao became a grandmaster!
"So, the new book is about the invincibility style?"
"The protagonist at the beginning is a grandmaster?"
"This time, the old thief is not going to write about the small people slowly rising to prominence?"
"I still have doubts about Zhang Junbao being the protagonist, because I feel that this plot is like a narration and summary, directly pointing out Zhang Junbao's achievements. This disguised spoiler writing style is very unpleasant and should not be the style of Lao Zei."
"I feel the same way!"
"If there is no final narration and summary, it would be fine to say that Zhang Junbao is the protagonist, but the final summary is too strange, as if Zhang Junbao's story has been told in just a few sentences. If he really is the protagonist, isn't he a little too old?"
really.
Because of the summary at the end of the second chapter, there are still a few people who do not believe that Zhang Junbao is the protagonist.
This part of the readers is suspicious:
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"It feels like this old thief is going to cause trouble again."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
…
at the same time.
Writers in the martial arts circle have also finished reading the second chapter one after another.
"What does this second chapter mean? The pace is totally different from what I imagined."
"Chu Kuang's thoughts are hard to figure out."
"His first two books were the same. There was no way to tell the plot development. It was like when he suddenly wrote about the Dragon Girl losing her virginity and Yang Guo losing his arm in the early stages of The Return of the Condor Heroes. Who could have thought of that?"
"Based on my experience, Zhang Junbao can no longer be the protagonist."
"It seems that some people's guesses are correct. The protagonist has not officially appeared in the first two chapters. I guess we have to wait until the third chapter."
"This is a really slow start. Only Chu Kuang would dare to write like this, and readers still buy it."
"Because everyone knows his strength."
"The strength is indeed abnormal. Do you still remember what was wrong in the first chapter? Why did Shaolin suddenly appear?"
"This chapter has clearly explained the reasons."
Shaolin Temple, as the leading figure in the martial arts world, has seriously lacked roles in The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes.
This is really inappropriate for such a heavyweight martial arts school, so when the first chapter was released, some readers found fault with it, saying that Shaolin Temple was a bit unreasonable as the entry point for the new book.
However, in the second chapter of the novel, Chu Kuang suddenly changed his writing style and gave an explanation.
It turned out that there was an incident called "Fire Monk" in Shaolin during the era of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes.
At that time, the monk who was in charge of burning the fire was bullied by the supervising monks, and he had a lot of resentment in his heart, so he secretly learned Shaolin martial arts.
And at a Shaolin Mid-Autumn Festival.
This fire monk displayed his magical powers and astonished everyone, and even killed Kuzhi, the chief Zen master of Shaolin at that time, and others.
This caused internal strife in Shaolin, which led to another top master, Master Kuhui, leaving in anger. Shaolin never recovered from this setback.
In the novel, when Guo Xiang passed by Shaolin and met Jueyuan and Zhang Junbao, Shaolin Temple began to revive.
This turn of events reasonably explains why Shaolin was absent from The Legend of the Condor Heroes and Return of the Condor Heroes.
What’s amazing about Jin Yong is that this plot doesn’t end there. The Shaolin foreshadowing leads to the story of “The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber”:
Huogong Toudao fled to the Western Regions and founded the Vajra Sect.
Then he accepted three disciples, who were the three masters following Zhao Min, A Da, A Er and A San.
Among the Seven Wudang Masters, Yu Daying was the one who was beaten into a cripple by Asan, which directly laid the groundwork for the suicide of Zhang Cuishan and his wife, and thus made the real protagonist Zhang Wuji have the idea of revenge.
It can be said that:
It was the counterattack of this stoker that triggered the story of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
certainly.
The readers do not know the subsequent plot at this time.
However, the revelation of the Huogong Toudao incident impressed the readers greatly, and they all lamented that this old thief wrote the book without any loopholes.
"This old thief is more slippery than a loach. I finally found the so-called loophole in his book, but it was immediately perfectly closed by the second chapter of his new book. I wanted to mock him for making mistakes sometimes."
Lin Yuan did not release the third chapter next.
There is no need to write this kind of online serial very quickly; two chapters are enough for readers to digest.
but.
the next day.
When Lin Yuan saw that most readers thought that Zhang Junbao was the protagonist of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", he finally smiled with evil taste for the second time.
Dear readers.
Don't underestimate the willfulness of a martial arts master!
After copying and pasting the previously completed content, at noon, the third chapter of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was released:
The precious sword is tempered hundreds of times and produces a mysterious light!
At the beginning of the chapter, it says: Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom, young men grow old. The temples of the beautiful girl finally have white hair...
This chapter begins.
Zhang Sanfeng is already ninety! Ten! Years! Old!
Faced with this turn of events, even famous martial arts masters couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Zhang Sanfeng is over ninety years old, which means Guo Xiang is also over ninety years old at this moment, if she is still alive.
Guo Xiang is the goddess of many readers, but with just a stroke of Chu Kuang's pen, the young girl has become a white-haired old lady!
What the hell!
Those readers who thought that Zhang Junbao was the protagonist were all stunned when they saw this, and then started cursing!
"Depend on!"
"Old thief!"
"Give me back the young Guo Xiang!"
"I'm so angry, I got fooled by this old thief again!
"Where are Zhang Junbao, the male lead, and Guo Xiang, the female lead? How can they be the protagonists when they are over 90 years old?"
"What the hell is this a devilish twist? Could it be that my great Guo Xiang's appearance is just to let you transition the plot!?"
"Where's Guo Jing! Where's Huang Rong! Where's the characters from The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes!"
"Looking at the clues of the plot, could it be that the real protagonist is this Zhang Cuishan!?"
With a gentle temperament, a frail body, and powerful martial arts skills, the real protagonist seems to be Zhang Cuishan, who only appears in the third chapter!
The internet went wild!
Some readers are dissatisfied, some are moved, some are sighing, and there are all kinds of complex emotions!
But the plot this time is not bad.
Readers who have experienced the Dragon Girl Gate have a good acceptance rate.
All I can say is that this old thief still doesn't like to play by the rules.
Once again, he used a misleading plot to fool all the readers!
At this time, only those readers who like Guo Xiang very much feel sad and helpless.
Their dreams of becoming the "protagonist" and "female protagonist" were completely shattered with the release of the third chapter.
The saying "Once you meet Yang Guo, your life will be ruined" became the footnote of her life.
She really couldn't fall in love with Zhang Junbao, who was equally outstanding, as she fell in love with Yang Guo.
However, this also preserves Guo Xiang's image. If she fell in love with someone else, some readers would probably be sad.
In comparison.
The main plot revealed in the new chapter has firmly attracted the readers' attention, and even has a more urgent anticipation for the subsequent plot:
The Dragon Slaying Sword is out!
The famous saying that has been circulating around the world made its first appearance:
The supreme master of the martial arts world, with his precious sword that slays dragons, commands the world and no one dares to disobey!
