"The Deer and the Cauldron" is Mr. Jin Yong's last martial arts novel and also the last work. Because at this point, the martial arts novel has reached the highest level of Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship "not stuck in things, no moves are better than moves."

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has written the most powerful dynasty in my country's history, making the novel itself magnificent and extremely powerful, and few can compare with it. The concept of "East Evil, West, South, and North Beggar" presented in the works has also become an established concept in martial arts novels and even subsequent fantasy novels, and has become a benchmark representative work in martial arts novels;

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" writes about the strange love in the world, and describes the concept of "love flowers" and has become the most appropriate symbol of love in the world;

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" writes about an ordinary person with an ordinary and indecisive personality, a young man next door who can be seen everywhere. At the same time, the novel shows outstanding creativity in group portrait descriptions, which has profound inspiration for later literature;

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is extremely mysterious and mysterious in the novel, with vast imagination. The martial arts scene presented in the novel is extremely grand, and the core of "everyone is wronged and affectionate is evil" is conveyed vividly. It describes tragedy with a magnificent brushstroke, and writes heroic with delicate brushstrokes, combining hardness with softness, creating a colorful world that "every life is bitter, but the style of the whole book is positive and high-spirited."

As for the subsequent "Swordsman" who has stepped into the realm of "no move is better than a move". The author's peak creative level at that time has reached a clever fusion with the sword skills practiced by the protagonist of the novel. Dugu Nine Swords are invincible.

When it comes to "The Deer and the Cauldron", all the writing styles of martial arts novels have been broken. It seems that all routines and plots are no longer available, and all the protagonists in the novel have basically appeared one by one.

The perfect Confucian heroes include Guo Jing, the ancient Greek tragic heroes include Qiao Feng, and the love-loving Yang Guo. The scholar Chen Jialuo, who stands up for injustice, helps the poor and poor, and does not lust, and is unswerving in poverty and humbleness. The prodigal son A Fei, Xiao Shiyilang. The romantic hero Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng, the innocent Shi Potian as a child. The observer of the era and the lonely observer of the era who is full of compassion and love in his heart. The boy next door Zhang Wuji, and the avenger Xia Xueyi...

It seems that all the protagonists of martial arts have been written all over, and their subsequent works are either imitated and referenced or repeated in the existing martial arts world. However, with the publication of "The Deer and the Cauldron", everyone suddenly sees another world of martial arts novels.

Previous martial arts novels, including Gu, Yong, and Sheng, all of them write about heroes, but the protagonist of "The Deer and the Cauldron" is not a hero, but a flesh-and-blood person. Like you and me, like the whole world, he has various problems, problems, and even a person whose personality and character cannot stand scrutiny, or simply a scoundrel;

The protagonists of martial arts novels in the past were all outstanding martial arts. They either upgraded from a low-level martial arts to a martial arts master, but the protagonists of "The Deer and the Cauldron" never knew much martial arts. Even though he had a bizarre encounter, he could become a master of Gaiden almost anywhere, but he did not. He only learned a decent escape skill from beginning to end.

If "Water Margin" is a classic book that is suitable for all ages and young, and is published, then "The Deer and the Cauldron" is a unique and even unprecedented book in the history of martial arts.

A strange book about anti-heroes and anti-martial arts!

According to Liu Jingting's initial arrangement, this book was naturally to be released in the last book, but out of a subtle mentality, Liu Jingting believed that "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was undoubtedly more appropriate as a martial arts work.

...

In August, "The Deer and the Cauldron" published the first chapter of "The Deer and the Cauldron" "The Party's Clear Waters and Disasters, and the Commentary on the Moon Day of the Rising Wind" in "The Story of the Wind".

Readers who are proficient in Qing Dynasty literature or related majors can almost see that the title of the chapter in this book is collected from the "Jingyetang Poetry Collection" of Qing Dynasty poet Cha Shenxing. The reason is very simple. Cha Shenxing is the ancestor of Mr. Jin Yong.

After the first episode was serialized, everyone didn’t talk much about the title of the chapter. After all, the chapter titles of books such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been played like this, and what everyone is curious about is the content of this book.

At the beginning of the novel, the two meanings of the title were explained by the old scholar: "One is that people make pots, I am a deer, criticize the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty, lamenting that innocent people are like elks, no matter who kills the deer, they will die in the end;

The second is to compete for the world and strive for the Central Plains, which means that the content of the novel will involve national affairs."

Of course, when you read the complete novel, you will find the third meaning. There is a Luding Mountain in the book, which is the place where the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty and the treasures are buried.

Of course, readers who only read the first chapter cannot speculate on the third meaning, but out of inertial thinking and the current trend, a large number of readers regard this book as a brother chapter of "Water Margin".

The Deer and the Cauldron, Water Margin!

Both names are very symmetrical, like upper and lower lines.

"In my opinion, Gu Da is preparing to write the Water Margin trilogy after the The Legend of the Condor Heroes. However, judging from time to time, it is estimated that the inheritance relationship between "Water Margin" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" will not be too obvious. It should be a piece of history for compilation, or it is not impossible to write the story of a descendant of a hero in "Water Margin". In short, I look forward to the subsequent plot."

This view became popular and was immediately refuted by other readers: "A friend who said "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Water Margin" were brothers' chapters probably didn't read the serial carefully. At the end of the first episode, the concept of martial arts "the pointer" appeared. How could it be related to "Water Margin"?

Moreover, "Jinglu" and Gu Yongsheng also made clear statements that "The Deer and the Cauldron" is a martial arts novel, although the word "alternative" is added to the martial arts."

Because the novel only has one chapter, and the aftermath of "Water Margin" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" continue, the discussion about "The Deer and the Cauldron" has not yet formed much.

It was September, and after the second chapter of the novel came out, everyone finally confirmed that it was indeed a martial arts novel, and at the same time felt that this novel should be a story about a low-level little person growing into a hero step by step.

Wei Xiaobao's temper looks like Yang Guo's childhood. Since Yang Guo finally became the Condor Heroes, Wei Xiaobao would not be bad.

"No need to argue, let me analyze it. "The Deer and the Cauldron" is a new wine in an old bottle, and the routines are all just that a rogue boy from a brothel learned martial arts after various adventures, and perhaps he created his own set of martial arts and became a hero admired by everyone.

According to Gu Yongsheng's urinary nature before martial arts, Wei Xiaobao is likely to participate in some real historical events.

I'll put the post here and wait for everyone to come and slap in the face in the future."

I, who often spoke at the Huashan Sword Forum, posted this prophecy post after "Jianglu" was released in September, and most of the comments downstairs agreed with this statement.

First floor: "Gu Da is now taking the international route, and small characters grow into big heroes. This is a typical Hollywood-style hero. I wonder if Gu Da's intention to fight Hollywood after the book "The Deer and the Cauldron" is preserved."

Second floor: "Every time the poster comments on novels, he is sarcastic. He feels that he is a person who lives a bad life, so he came to find his presence online?"

Third Floor: "The author's analysis makes sense, but despite this, my impression of the protagonist Wei Xiaobao is still not very good. Fighting with people should be about the principles of the world. After being pointed out with the charming eyes of lime, I will never repent. Can such a person really become a hero when he grows up?"

The owner of the fourth floor replied to the second floor: "Calm down, my life is not satisfactory and has nothing to do with you, and this is my storytelling style. I just can't stand it."

Fifth Floor: "Mao Shiba should be Wei Xiaobao's first enlightenment teacher. First teach him some basic skills, just like Guo Jing, and he will definitely meet other masters later. I guess Chen Jinnan, who appeared in the first time, should be Wei Xiaobao's Hong Qigong."

...

The thinking on the fifth floor represents the ideas of most readers to a certain extent. The process of serializing "The Deer and the Cauldron" is the process of everyone expecting Wei Xiaobao to become stronger.

However, in fact-

Mao Shiba naturally did not teach Wei Xiaobao any skills, and the mysterious Eunuch Hai did not teach Wei Xiaobao any skills, and even Wei Xiaobao did not learn every move from Chen Jinnan, the one-armed God Ni and others.

Among them, Chen Jinnan and the one-armed God Ni are also Wei Xiaobao's genuine masters.

As the serialization deepens and the aftermath of "Water Margin" and "Harry Potter" subside, more and more readers feel the strangeness of this book.

One day in November, someone in Huashan Sword Controversy suddenly posted a post asking: "Wei Xiaobao won't be like this for a lifetime, right?" (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
