Chapter 361 0361, No Abuse, Too Sweet, Sweet to the Point of Vomiting Blood (3)
Looking at Blue Star, there is only one person who has risen with a strong attitude since the release of his first online novel, creating many genres, many records, and even fighting for a website alone.
Looking at the entire Internet literary world, indeed, only Yunfeng has done it.
Every popular novel will attract many readers of this category and subject.
Fantasy, fairy tales, sports, etc., there are not many categories and themes left for him.
Today, he gave novel fans a surprise.
When I opened the Youxianqi FM website, a pop-up advertisement on the homepage clearly stated - Yunfeng's new works "Full-time Master" and "The Legend of Yang Jian" are released!
"Yun Da Mighty!"
“Hey guys, not only are they dual-released, but they’re also released together!”
"666!"
"I didn't expect Yun Da to hold back a big move!"
"Haha, this hot summer vacation won't be boring anymore!"
…
After a long wait, fans' enthusiasm has been ignited once again.
at this time.
Two site-wide broadcasts appeared in the middle of all readers’ mobile phones and computer screens.
"Readers [If you don't work hard, you will go home and inherit the breeding farm] reward the novel "The Master" with 10,000,000 immortal energy, and become the [Daluo Golden Immortal] of this work!"
"Readers [If you don't work hard, you will go home and inherit the breeding farm] reward the novel "The Legend of Yang Jian" with 10,000,000 immortal energy, and become the [Daluo Golden Immortal] of this work!"
…
Ma Siyu, who is never absent, took action.
If Yunfeng hadn't said it before, he would have started with a reward of one million yuan.
A mere 100,000 yuan, he no longer looked down upon it.
"The reader [Baby Tianlong of Great Virtue and Power] rewards the novel "The Master" with 10,000,000 immortal energy, and becomes the "Daluo Golden Immortal" of this work!"
"Reader [Xianmeng·Invincible] rewards the novel "Full-time Master" with 10,000,000 fairy energy and becomes the [Daluo Golden Immortal] of this work!"
"Readers [Step on the Sun and Moon, Picking the Stars in Hands] reward the novel "The Master" with 10,000,000 immortal energy, and become the [Daluo Golden Immortal] of this work!"
"Reader [Xianmeng·Wen Tong] rewards the novel "Full-time Master" with 10,000,000 fairy energy, and becomes the [Da Luo Jinxian] of this work!"
"Reader [Xianmeng·Shishan] rewards the novel "Full-time Master" with 10,000,000 fairy energy and becomes the [Daluo Golden Immortal] of this work!"
…
Right from the start, the next five with a reward of 100,000 yuan immediately followed.
However.
This is just the beginning, there will be countless rewards of various sizes to come.
Even readers who have long been used to it can't help but be amazed when they see various broadcasts lasting several minutes before ending.
The short warm-up is over, and the next step is to choose one of the two, whether to watch "The Master" first or "The Legend of Yang Jian"?
Most readers chose the latter.
It's very simple, because "The Master" is marked as "Long" and "Yang Jian's Biography" is marked as "Short". The long means that the number of words is more than one million, and it will take at least three months to finish, while the short is about ten. It’s about 50,000 words, and it only takes about a week to finish.
Read long stories first, and read short stories first.
This is what Wen Liang thought, and this is what he said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, you are right to listen to me. Although Yun Shen has 20,000 updates per day, because it is a long story, there is moisture in it, and you can't read enough. It’s so cool, I’ll save it for a week and it’ll be more comfortable.”
Wen Yanda chuckled and said: "Okay, I will listen to you, my dear grandson, and read "The Biography of Yang Jian" first."
This earliest comic book writer in China, who had just passed his 70th birthday, was successfully trained by his grandson to become a fan of Yunfeng's comics and novels.
Wen Liang handed the first volume of "The Biography of Yang Jian" to his grandfather, and he read it on his tablet.
While operating, he asked: "Grandpa, do you think this "The Legend of Yang Jian" is related to "The Legend of Wukong"?"
Wen Yanda smiled and said: "Looking at the title, you can tell that it is a series."
Wen Liang took a breath and said, "Isn't that style darker and sadistic?"
Wen Yanda nodded, thought for a moment, then changed the topic and said: "Not necessarily. A series refers to content or background, and the style can be different."
"Oh." Wen Liang understood, chuckled, and said, "Yun Shen's interpretation of Sun Dasheng last time sounded different, and I think the interpretation of Erlang Shen this time is also the same."
Wen Yanda pondered: "It is not easy to re-create existing mythological or novel characters. Alternative interpretation is a good method, but it is also a method that can easily cause controversy."
The mythological characters or novel characters that the public is familiar with have long formed an inherent image in the readers' minds. It is very difficult and unpleasant to break this inherent image and give them a new image.
"It's okay." Wen Liang raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Last time, Yun Shen's "The Bodyguard" and "The Legend of Wukong" were criticized by a group of people from the Martial Arts Research Association and the Journey to the West Cultural Research Association. Scared."
Wen Yanda spoke eloquently: "There is no 'only correct meaning' or 'only correct reading' of literary works, because everyone's perception and understanding of literary works are different and will be affected by their own life scope. Therefore, a thousand people have a thousand interpretations. It is not bad if it is good. It can be bad for a while, but it will recover one day. "
Hearing his grandpa talking about great truths, Wen Liang hurriedly said: "Grandpa, look at it quickly."
In the small courtyard, under the shade of trees.
The two grandfathers and grandsons were on the left and right. One was holding a book and the other was holding a tablet. They lowered their heads and started reading.
"The Legend of Yang Jian" - Immortality means immortality, but it does not mean immortality. Behind the simplicity, there is often too cruel reality. People, ghosts, and gods are all like this.
The introduction is very short, not much information is revealed, and the main character is not even written about.
Then, click into the text.
【Nowadays, on the road down Mang Mountain in Gubei, Huang Chen is old and has become a hero. Life is long and water is long. Who can talk to each other in the deepest thoughts, and see each other off from afar.
His unparalleled fame will be put to good use. I once wrongly blamed God. A great song can last a thousand minutes. If a man is good at everything, he should not talk about poverty.
...]
The opening chapter is an ancient poem from "Linjiang Immortal·Composed from Luoyang to Mengjin Road" by Yuan Haowen of the Jin Dynasty.
It is said that throughout the ages, the road under Beimang Mountain has been filled with yellow dust. I don’t know how many heroes have died. There are too many regrettable things in life, just like the river passing eastward, which has no end. Who can I talk to about the pain in my heart? Look around and send the returning geese far away in the sky.
What is the use of world-renowned fame? In the past, I really blamed God wrongly. I sang a song and drank a thousand glasses of wine. As a man, the key lies in the correctness of words and deeds, rather than judging success or failure based on hardship and brilliance.
Wen Liang murmured: "Is this poem for Erlang Shen?"
Wen Yanda interpreted: "Perhaps, "The Biography of Yang Jian" is about the other side of this upright judicial god in heaven."
The public's inherent impression of Erlang Shen is that he is a three-eyed young god with a special appearance. He is handsome and wears a three-pointed two-edged sword. He also has divine dogs and eagles following him. He has vast and varied magical powers. He is not only powerful and good at hunting Able to fight, upright and benevolent, eliminating harm for the people, showing holiness and protecting the people.
So, if you want an alternative interpretation, where should you start?
The two grandfathers and grandsons continued to look down with strong curiosity.
[Yang Jian's hand barely stopped when it touched Chenxiang's throat.
Thousands of years of fighting instinct caused him to be seriously injured, but he still found a fatal flaw in Agarwood.
But so what? When everything comes to an end, the only one who can win is this child. Although, this child is still far from his expectations.
...]
I finished reading the first chapter soon.
The story line gradually became clear. It was not a fan creation based on "Journey to the West" and "The Romance of the Gods", but based on the Chinese mythology "Lotus Lantern".
How to write this?
There is not much description of Yang Jian in "Lotus Lantern". The two appearances he made were all about enforcing the law impartially. One was to pin his sister down at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and the other was to stop his nephew from saving his mother.
The first chapter written by Yunfeng is about the tragic situation after Yang Jian and Chenxiang lost the battle.
However, judging from Yang Jian's inner monologue and Roaring Sky Dog's narration, there seems to be a hidden story.
"interesting!"
Wen Liang and Wen Yanda spoke in unison.
Immediately, they looked at each other and smiled.
Yunfeng is still the same Yunfeng, and the effect of the first chapter is very good, making readers curious about the following plot, and they are looking forward to how this "Yang Jian Biography" will develop next.
[Brother Mei Shan’s expressions of disgust, Agarwood’s eyes that were like spitting out fire, Sun Wukong’s gleeful tone, Zhu Bajie’s sarcastic voice… and the unspoken rejection and hatred of Third Sister.
Everything was tumbling in a nightmare like a revolving lantern. Yang Jian's body was shaking violently, and his clothes were soaked with sweat again.
Roaring Sky Dog put a bowl of water to his mouth and reluctantly fed him a few mouthfuls, but then all the water and blood spurted out.
...]
I read five chapters in a row.
Wen Liang felt that his throat was congested and he was holding back his breath. He felt very uncomfortable and wanted to cry.
I originally thought it was to rewrite Yang Jian in "Lotus Lantern" to vindicate him and explain why he suppressed his sister and killed his nephew regardless of family ties.
Can.
They are all "abusing" Yang Jian, with all kinds of contempt, ridicule and insults from relatives, friends, and gods of the three realms.
From the current point of view, this "Yang Jian Biography" is extremely "depressing".
Because readers from God's perspective understand that Yang Jian acted as a bad guy with heinous crimes in order to give Chen Xiang motivation, they naturally look forward to redressing Yang Jian's case.
And the so-called rehabilitation means to feel better.
However, after reading 20,000 words in a row, there is no sign of wanting to vindicate Yang Jian.
Wen Yanda is another feeling.
Of course, it will be uncomfortable, after all, this part is too depressing, just like the Synth Beast chapter in the comic "Fullmetal Alchemist".
He is a comic writer and has a certain understanding of creation.
Combining the story and final outcome described in "The Legend of Wukong", he had roughly guessed the plot direction and final outcome of "The Legend of Yang Jian".
Not only writing about Yang Jian, but also writing about the Three Realms.
At this time, I went back to read the introduction, and the "too cruel reality" stood out.
perhaps.
Different from Sun Dasheng who said, "I want this sky to be able to cover my eyes no longer, I want this earth to be able to bury my heart no longer, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, I want all the Buddhas to disappear into smoke", Erlang Shen wants to use another A way to protect your loved ones and fight against the sky.
"Grandpa, I don't want to see anymore..." Wen Liang exhaled a long breath, feeling depressed.
"Don't watch it if you don't like it." Wen Yanda reached out and gently touched his grandson's head and said, "Go and watch "The Master"."
Wen Liang looked at his grandfather in confusion and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to continue reading?"
"The Biography of Yang Jian" has been updated with twenty chapters today, totaling 80,000 words.
Yunfeng considered that it was too cruel and that a slow serialization would affect the readers, so he decided to update it in two days.
Wen Yanda smiled faintly and said, "I want to see if Yunfeng's final treatment is the same as I thought."
Wenliang was silent for a while and said, "Then I will take a look at it later."
The two grandfathers and grandsons continued again.
[The monster in Jiuling Cave used the water mirror to suck San Shengmu, Chenxiang, and Xiaoyu into the mirror, while Liu Yanchang, Chang'e, Baihua, the Eighth Prince, the Fourth Princess, Nezha, Kang Lao Da and others were outside the mirror.
They saw Yang Jian's past in the mirror.
They saw that San Shengmu was naughty when she was young, and Yang Jian showed his magic power to save his sister, which led to the Jade Emperor sending people to destroy his family, but Yao Ji only blamed Yang Jian.
They saw the hardships Yang Jian paid to raise his sister.
After seeing Hou Yi betray Chang'e and attempt to steal the elixir but died unexpectedly, Yang Jian transformed himself into Hou Yi and spent three months with Chang'e in order to prevent Hou Yi's image from being shattered in Chang'e's heart. Chang'e always felt that although Hou Yi had no physical contact during these three months, she missed him the most.
I saw that the Lotus Lantern was originally a pair of male and female, and Yang Jian had a male lantern, but in order to save Nezha, he used the male lantern to make Nezha's body.
I saw that Liu Yanchang actually wanted to marry someone else during the imprisonment of San Shengmu, and Yang Jian cast a spell on him, making him loyal to San Shengmu and raising Chenxiang with all his heart.
…】
The next fifteen chapters.
Many characters and deeds in the mythological stories were boldly rewritten, such as Hou Yi, Chang'e, Nezha, etc.
Two words to describe it, that is "subversion", subverting the public's perception of writing about these people and things.
Abuse is still as abuse as ever.
"Ah, why did Yunshen write such a book?" Wen Liang grabbed his hair and said angrily, "It makes me feel uncomfortable. How can I reward him?"
Wen Yanda sighed lightly. He thought that he could be calm and indifferent after seeing through Yunfeng's mind. Little did he know that he had been put into the plot by the amazing words. There were a few moments when the turbid tears blurred his old eyes.
If there is no reversal in the subsequent plot, Yunfeng will definitely be criticized badly, and even his fans will not show mercy.
So, is it really a torture to the end?
That's right, Yunfeng wrote this "Yang Jian Biography" based on the novel "Yang Jian-Life is Long and Hateful" and the TV series "Baolian Lantern". The stories are generally similar, but not exactly the same.
How to say it.
He re-portrayed some characters, less hypocritical and narrow-minded, and the kind of contempt that stands on the moral high ground without reason.
Because they are all immortals or immortals who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years, they should not always do things with the thinking and logic of ordinary people.
He personally believes that reality is cruel, but not hopeless.
Because.
Yunfeng is no longer the Yunfeng of the past. Respect is inevitable for the works of predecessors on Earth, but appropriate choices must be made.
(PS: I thought of a version of Yang Jian's plot during the two days of rest, but because the time was too short and the idea was too sloppy, I will not bring it out to hurt the eyes. Most of the plot is still based on "Yang Jian - Life is Long and Hateful, and the River is Long East". In addition, this novel is indeed more cruel and depressing. If you want to read it, think about it carefully first.)
