Chapter 361 0361, No abuse, too sweet, so sweet that it makes me vomit blood (3)

Looking at the entire Blue Star, there is only one person who has risen in a strong posture since the release of the first online novel, creating many genres, many records, and even fighting an entire website alone.

Looking at the entire online literature world, indeed, only Yunfeng has done it.

Every popular novel will attract a large number of readers of this category and subject matter.

Fantasy, fairy tales, sports, etc., there are not many categories and themes left for him.

Today, he gave fans of his novel a surprise.

When I opened Youxianqi FM, the pop-up advertisement on the homepage clearly read: Yunfeng’s new works "The King's Avatar" and "The Legend of Yang Jian" have been released!
"Yun Da is mighty!"

"Wow, not only are they open in pairs, but they are also released together!"

"666!"

"I didn't expect Yun Da to have such a big move!"

"Haha, this hot summer vacation won't be boring anymore!"

……

After a long wait, the fans' enthusiasm was ignited once again.

at this time.

Two site-wide broadcasts appeared on all readers’ mobile phones and computer screens.

"Reader [If You Don't Work Hard, You Will Have to Go Home and Inherit the Farm] rewarded the novel "The King's Avatar" with 10000000 immortal energy, becoming the [Daluo Jinxian] of this work!"

"Reader [If You Don't Work Hard, You Will Have to Go Home and Inherit the Farm] rewarded the novel "The Legend of Yang Jian" with 10000000 immortal energy, becoming the [Daluo Jinxian] of this work!"

……

Ma Siyu, who is never absent, took action.

If Yunfeng hadn't said so beforehand, he would have offered a reward of one million yuan.

He no longer cares about a mere hundred thousand.

"Reader [Da De Da Wei Tian Long Bao Bao] rewarded the novel "The King's Avatar" with 10000000 immortal energy, becoming the [Daluo Jin Xian] of this work!"

"Reader [Xianmeng·Wudi] rewarded the novel "The King's Avatar" with 10000000 immortal energy, becoming the [Daluo Jinxian] of this work!"

"Reader [Stepping on the Sun and Moon, Picking the Stars with Hands] rewarded the novel "The King's Avatar" with 10000000 immortal energy, becoming the [Daluo Jinxian] of this work!"

"Reader [Xianmeng·Wen Tong] rewarded the novel "The King's Avatar" with 10000000 immortal energy, becoming the [Daluo Jinxian] of this work!"

"Reader [Xianmeng·Shishan] rewarded the novel "The King's Avatar" with 10000000 immortal energy, becoming the [Daluo Jinxian] of this work!"

……

After this was the first, five more donations of 100,000 yuan each followed immediately.

however.

This is just the beginning, there will be countless rewards of varying amounts to come.

Even readers who are already accustomed to it can't help but be amazed when they see that various broadcasts last for several minutes before ending.

After a brief warm-up, the next thing is a difficult choice: should I watch "The King's Avatar" or "The Legend of Yang Jian" first?
Most readers chose the latter.

It's very simple, because "The King's Avatar" is marked as a [Long Story], and "The Legend of Yang Jian" is marked as a [Short Story]. A long story means that the number of words is over one million, and it will take at least three months to finish it, while a short story is about 150,000 words, and it only takes about a week to finish it.

Read the long story first, and then you can read the short story.

This is what Wen Liang thought, and this is what he said to his grandfather: "Grandpa, you can listen to me for sure. Although Yunshen updates 20,000 words a day, it is a long story and has some water in it. It is not enjoyable to read. It is more comfortable to save it up and read it for a week."

Wen Yanda laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, my dear grandson. Let's read The Legend of Yang Jian first."

This earliest Chinese comic book writer, who just celebrated 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 Legend of Yang Jian" to his grandfather, and read it on his tablet computer.

While operating, he asked, "Grandpa, do you think there is any connection between "The Legend of Yang Jian" and "The Legend of Wukong"? "

Wen Yanda smiled and said, "Looking at the title, you can tell it's a series."

Wen Liang took a deep breath and said, "Wouldn't the style be dark and heartbreaking?"

Wen Yanda nodded, thought for a moment, and then changed the subject, saying, "Not necessarily. A series means that the content or background is related, but the style can be different."

"Oh." Wen Liang understood, and laughed, saying, "The last time Yunshen interpreted Sun Dasheng in a different way, I guess his interpretation of Erlang Shen this time will be the same."

Wen Yanda pondered and said, "It is not easy to create a secondary work based on an existing mythological figure or fictional character. Alternative interpretation is a good method, but it is also a method that can easily cause controversy."

The mythological characters or fictional characters that are familiar to the public have already formed a fixed image in the readers' minds. It is very difficult and unpleasant to break this fixed image and give it a new one.

"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 the Wuxia Research Association and the Journey to the West Cultural Research Association, but he was not afraid."

Wen Yanda said: "There is no 'only correct meaning' or 'only correct reading' of literary works, because everyone's perception and understanding of literary works are different, which will be affected by their own living environment. Therefore, there are a thousand interpretations for a thousand people. Good ones cannot be bad, and they can be bad for a while, but they will recover one day."

Hearing his grandfather talking about the truth, Wen Liang hurriedly said, "Grandpa, look quickly."

In the small courtyard, under the shade of the trees.

The grandfather and grandson stood on the left and right, one holding a book and the other holding a tablet, and they lowered their heads to read.

"The Legend of Yang Jian" - Being an immortal means longevity, but not immortality. Behind the innocence, there is often a cruel reality, which is true for humans, ghosts, and gods.

The synopsis is very short, not much information is revealed, and the protagonist is not even mentioned.

Next, click into the main text.

【The road under the Beimang Mountain from ancient times to the present, the yellow dust has aged all heroes. Life is full of regrets, and the water flows eastward. Who can I share my deep thoughts with? I watch the wild geese returning from afar.

What is the use of the world's unparalleled achievements? I used to blame God wrongly. Sing a song and drink a thousand cups of wine. A man should act accordingly, regardless of whether he is rich or poor.

...]

The opening is an ancient poem from "Linjiangxian: Written on the Road from Luoyang to Mengjin" by Yuan Haowen of the Jin Dynasty.

It means that throughout the ages, the road under the Beimang Mountain has been covered with yellow dust, and countless heroes have died. There are too many regrettable things in life, just like the river flowing eastward, which has no end. Who can you tell about the pain in your heart? You can only look up and send the geese flying back home in the sky.

What's the use of fame and success? In the past, we really blamed God wrongly. Sing a song and drink a thousand cups of wine. As a man, the key lies in the correctness of words and deeds, not in judging success or failure by adversity or prosperity.

Wen Liang murmured, "Is this poem for Erlang Shen?"

Wen Yanda interpreted: "Perhaps, The Legend of Yang Jian describes the other side of this upright god of justice 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, wears a three-pointed double-edged sword, has a divine dog and a divine eagle following him, has great magical powers and is able to change in many ways. Not only is he powerful, good at hunting and fighting, but he is also upright and righteous, eliminates harm for the people, and protects the people.

So, if we want an alternative interpretation, where should we start?

The grandfather and grandson continued to read on with great curiosity.

[Yang Jian's hand just stopped when it touched Chenxiang's throat.

The instinct of thousands of years of fighting allowed him to find Chenxiang's fatal flaw even though he was seriously injured. But so what? Everything had come to an end, and the only one who could win was this child, although this child was still far from his expectations.

...]

I finished reading the first chapter very quickly.

The story gradually became clear. It was not based on "Journey to the West" or "Investiture of the Gods" for fan creation, but on the Chinese mythological story "The Lotus Lantern".

How do I write this?
There is not much description of Yang Jian in "The Lotus Lantern". The two times he appeared were both when he was enforcing the law impartially. One was when he imprisoned his sister under Mount Hua, and the other was when he stopped his nephew from rescuing his mother.

The first chapter written by Yunfeng describes the tragic situation after Yang Jian lost the battle with Chenxiang.

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 at the same time.

Then, they looked at each other and smiled.

Yunfeng is still the same Yunfeng. The first chapter has a very good effect, which makes readers curious about the following plot. They are all looking forward to how this "Legend of Yang Jian" will develop next.

[The disgusted expressions of the Meishan brothers, Chenxiang's eyes that seemed to be spewing fire, Sun Wukong's gloating tone, Zhu Bajie's sarcastic voice... and also, the third sister's self-evident rejection and hatred.

Everything was replaying in the nightmare like a kaleidoscope. Yang Jian's body was shaking violently and sweat soaked his clothes once again.

Roaring Sky Dog put a bowl of water close to his mouth and forced him to take a few sips, but then the water and blood sprayed out.

...]

I finished reading five chapters in a row.

Wenliang felt his throat was blocked and he was holding his breath. He felt very uncomfortable and wanted to cry.

I originally thought it was a rewrite of Yang Jian in "The Lotus Lantern", vindicating him and explaining why he disregarded family affection, suppressed his sister and killed his nephew.

can.

They were all "torturing" Yang Jian, with all kinds of contempt, ridicule and insults from his closest relatives, friends, and gods from the three realms.

As of now, this "Legend of Yang Jian" is extremely "depressing".

Because readers who are in a God's perspective understand that Yang Jian pretends to be a bad guy in order to give Chenxiang motivation, they naturally hope to vindicate Yang Jian.

The so-called vindication is the cool part.

However, after reading 20,000 words in a row, there was no sign of vindication for Yang Jian.

Wen Yanda has a different feeling.

Of course, it is uncomfortable, after all, this part is written too depressingly, just like the Synthetic Beast chapter in the comic "Fullmetal Alchemist".

He is a comic book writer and has a certain understanding of creation.

Combining the story and final ending of "The Legend of Wukong", he has roughly guessed the direction of the plot and final ending of "The Legend of Yang Jian".

It not only writes about Yang Jian, but also writes about the Three Realms.

Looking back at the introduction now, the phrase "too cruel a reality" stands out.

perhaps.

Different from Sun Wukong who said, "I want this sky to no longer cover my eyes, I want this earth to no longer bury my heart, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, I want all Buddhas to disappear into thin air", Erlang Shen wants to protect his loved ones and fight against the sky in another way.

"Grandpa, I don't want to watch it anymore..." Wen Liang let out a long breath, feeling depressed.

"If you don't like it, then don't watch it." Wen Yanda reached out and gently stroked his grandson's head, saying, "Go watch The King's Avatar."

Wen Liang looked at his grandfather in confusion and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to continue reading?"

"The Legend of Yang Jian" updated twenty chapters today, totaling 80,000 words.

Yunfeng considered that the story was too cruel and that slowly serializing it would affect the readers, so he decided to complete the update in two days.

Wen Yanda smiled faintly and said, "I want to see if Yunfeng's final treatment is the same as I thought."

Wen Liang was silent for a while, then said, "Then I'll take a look down there too."

The grandfather and grandson continued again.

[The monster in Jiuling Cave used the water mirror to suck the Three Holy Mothers, Chenxiang and Xiaoyu into the mirror, while Liu Yanchang, Chang'e, Baihua, the Eighth Prince, the Fourth Princess, Nezha, Boss Kang and others were outside the mirror.

They saw Yang Jian's past in the mirror.

It was seen that the Third Holy Mother 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 her family, but Yao Ji only blamed Yang Jian.

I saw the hardships Yang Jian went through to raise his sister.

After seeing Houyi betray Chang'e and try to steal the elixir but die unexpectedly, Yang Jian, in order to prevent Houyi's image from being shattered in Chang'e's heart, transformed himself into Houyi and spent three months with Chang'e. Chang'e always felt that although they had no physical contact with Houyi during these three months, he made her miss him the most.

We saw that the Precious Lotus Lantern originally had a male and female pair. Yang Jian originally had a male lantern, but in order to save Nezha, he used the male lantern to make Nezha's body.

Seeing that Liu Yanchang had actually wanted to marry someone else while San Shengmu was imprisoned, Yang Jian cast a spell on him, making his feelings for San Shengmu remain faithful and he take good care of Chenxiang.

...]

The next fifteen chapters.

The stories and deeds of many characters in mythological stories have been boldly rewritten, such as Houyi, Chang'e, Nezha, etc.

To describe it in two words, it is "subversive", which subverts the public's perception of these people and things.

The abuse is still the same as always.

"Ahhh, why did Yun Shen write such a book?" Wen Liang scratched his hair and said angrily, "It makes me feel so uncomfortable reading it, how can I reward you?"

Wen Yanda sighed softly. He thought that he could remain calm and composed since he had seen through Yunfeng's thoughts. However, he didn't know that under the amazing words, he had already been drawn into the plot. There were a few moments when turbid tears blurred his old eyes.

If there is no reversal in the subsequent plot, Yunfeng is sure, will, and will definitely be criticized badly, even by his fans.

So, it's really going to be torture all the way to the end?
That’s right, Yunfeng drew inspiration from the novel "Yang Jian - Life is Long and Hateful and the River Flows East" and the TV series "The Lotus Lantern" when writing "The Legend of Yang Jian". The stories are generally similar, but not exactly the same.

how to say.

He re-portrayed some of the characters, making them less pretentious and narrow-minded, as well as less unreasonable contempt from a moral high ground.

Because they are cultivators 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 same Yunfeng as before. We must respect the works of our predecessors on Earth, but we must also make appropriate choices.

(PS: During the two days of rest, I thought of a version of Yang Jian's plot, but because the time was too short and the idea was too sloppy, I won't show it to you. Most of the plot is still the same as "Yang Jian - Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East". In addition, this novel is indeed quite cruel and depressing. If you want to read it, please think carefully first.)
