"The Legend of Deer and Ding" is Mr. Jin Yong's last martial arts novel, and it is also a work of the pen, because the martial arts novel has been written to this point, and it has reached the highest level of Dugu's swordsmanship of "not staying in things, and winning without moves".

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is written about the most powerful dynasty in the history of our country, which makes the novel's own aura majestic and immense, and there are few people who can compare with it, and the concept of "East Evil and West Poison Southern Emperor and Northern Beggar" presented in the work has also become an established concept in martial arts novels and even later fantasy novels, and has become a benchmark masterpiece in martial arts novels;

"The Condor Heroes" writes about the strange love in the world, and depicts the concept of "love flower", which has become the most appropriate symbol of earthly love;

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer" writes about an ordinary person with an ordinary and indecisive personality, a little brother next door that we can see everywhere, and at the same time, the novel shows excellent creative power in the description of group portraits, which has a profound inspiration for later literature;

"Dragon Babu" is full of the novel's strange and mysterious, vast imagination, the martial arts scenes presented in the novel are extremely grand, and the core of "no one is unjust and lovely" is conveyed vividly, writing sadness is expressed with a magnificent pen, writing heroism is conveyed with delicate brushwork, combining rigidity and softness, constructing a colorful world of "lifelong suffering, but the style of the whole book is positive";

As for the subsequent "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has stepped into the realm of "no tricks to win", the author's peak creative level at that time and the swordsmanship practiced by the protagonist of the novel have reached an ingenious fusion, Dugu Nine Swords, invincible in the world.

By the time of "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", the writing of a qiē martial arts novel has been broken, and it seems that all the routines are broken. All the plots are useless, and the various protagonists of the novel basically appear one by one.

The perfect Confucian giant has Guo Jing, and the ancient Greek tragic hero has Qiao Feng. Infatuated Yang Guo, scholar Chen Jialuo, Hu Fei, who fights injustice, helps the poor, is rich but not lewd, and is unswerving, prodigal sons A Fei and Xiao Shiyilang, merry and chivalrous Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng, childlike and innocent Shi Potian, full of compassion and fraternity in the chest of the observer of the times and loner Li Xunhuan. The boy next door Zhang Wuji, the avenger Xia Xueyi......

It seems that all the martial arts protagonists have been written all over. Subsequent works are either imitated or repeated in the existing martial arts world, but with the advent of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", everyone suddenly sees another world of martial arts novels.

Previous martial arts novels. Including all works of Gu, Yong and Sheng. is full of heroes, but the protagonist of "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" is not a hero, but a flesh-and-blood person, like you and me, and the same people all over the world, he has all kinds of problems, all kinds of problems, and even a person whose personality and morality can't stand scrutiny, or simply a scoundrel;

The protagonist of previous martial arts novels. are all excellent in martial arts, or they have been upgraded from low martial arts to martial arts masters. However, the protagonist of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" has never known any martial arts, even if he has a bizarre encounter, he can become a Gaidai master at almost any turn, but he didn't, and he only learned a decent escape kung fu from beginning to end.

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

An anti-hero, anti-martial arts book!

According to Liu Jingting's original arrangement, this book should naturally be launched in the last book, but out of a certain subtle mentality, Liu Jingting believes that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is undoubtedly more appropriate as a martial arts work.

……

In August, "Craftsman's Record" published the first episode of "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "Vertical and Horizontal Hook Party Clear Stream Disaster, Cliff Qian Wind Period Moon Dan Commentary".

Readers who are proficient in Qing Dynasty literature, or related majors, can almost see that the chapter title of this book is a collection of Qing Dynasty poet Cha Shenxing's work "Jingyetang Poems", and the reason is also very simple, Cha Shenxing is the ancestor of Mr. Jin Yong.

After the first serialization, everyone didn't talk much about the chapter names, after all, the chapter names of books such as "Dragon Babu" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" have been played like this, and everyone is curious about the content of this book.

At the beginning of the novel, he explained the two meanings of the title of the book in the mouth of an old scribe: "One is that people are the Ding Cauldron, and I am the elk, criticizing the literary prison of the Qing Dynasty, lamenting that innocent people are like elks who can't help themselves, no matter who kills the deer, the deer will die after all;

The second is to compete in the world and win the Central Plains, which means that the content of the novel will involve national events. ”

Of course, after reading the whole novel, you will find the third meaning, there is a Luding Mountain in the book, which is the place where the dragon veins and treasures of the Qing Dynasty are buried.

Of course, readers who have only read the first time can't guess the third meaning, but out of inertial thinking and the current general trend, a large number of readers regard this book as the brother of "Water Margin".

Lu Ding Ji, Water Margin!

Both names are symmetrical, as if they are linked up and down.

"In my opinion, Gu Da is preparing to write the Water Margin trilogy after the Condor Trilogy, but judging from the time, it is estimated that the succession relationship between "Water Margin" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding" will not be too obvious, and it should also be an excerpt of history for compilation, or it is not impossible to write the story of the descendants of a hero in "Water Margin", in short, I look forward to the follow-up plot. ”

As soon as this point of view became popular, it was immediately refuted by some other readers: "Friends who said that "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and "Water Margin" are brothers probably didn't read the serialization carefully, and the martial arts concept of "point point" has appeared at the end of the first serialization, how can it have anything to do with "Water Margin"?

Moreover, "Craftsman Record" and Gu Yongsheng also made it clear that "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is a martial arts novel, although the word 'alternative' is added in front of martial arts. ”

Because the novel only has one chapter, and the aftermath of "Water Margin" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" continues, the discussion about "The Legend of Deer and Ding" has not formed much scale for the time being.

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

No matter how Wei Xiaobao's temper looks, it looks like Yang Guo when he was a child, since Yang Guo finally became a Condor Hero, Wei Xiaobao will not be bad if he thinks about it.

"You don't have to fight, let me analyze it, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is an old bottle of new wine, the routines are still those routines, it is nothing more than a skinny boy from a Qinglou After all kinds of adventures, he learned a martial arts, and finally maybe created a set of martial arts or the like, becoming a hero admired by everyone.

According to Gu Yongsheng's previous urine sex in martial arts, Wei Xiaobao is likely to be involved in some real historical events.

I'm putting the post here and waiting for everyone to slap him in the face. ”

An ID who often speaks on the Huashan Sword Forum posted this prophecy post after the "Craftsman Record" came out on the street in September, and most of the posts downstairs also agreed with this statement.

The first floor: "Gu Da is now taking an international route, and the little people have grown into big heroes, which is a typical Hollywood-style hero, I don't know if Gu Da's "Deer and Ding Ji" has the intention of fighting Hollywood again." ”

The second floor: "Every time the landlord reviews the novel, he is yin and yang, and he feels that he should be a person who is not happy in life, so he came to the Internet to find a sense of zài?"

The third floor: "The landlord's analysis is very reasonable, but despite this, my perception of the protagonist Wei Xiaobao is still not very good, fighting with people should be reasonable, and he will not repent after being pointed out with lime charming eyes, can this kind of person really become a hero when he grows up?"

The owner of the fourth floor replied to the second floor: "Calm, my unsatisfactory life has nothing to do with you, and this is my style of storytelling, I can't get used to seeing the fork." ”

Fifth floor: "Mao Eighteen should be Wei Xiaobao's first enlightenment teacher, first teach him a little foundation kung fu, like Guo Jing, and he will definitely meet other masters later, I speculate that Chen Jinnan who appeared in the first time should be Wei Xiaobao's Hong Qigong." ”

……

The thinking on the fifth floor represents the thoughts of most readers, and the process of serialization of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is the process of everyone expecting Wei Xiaobao to become stronger.

But in fact-

Mao Shibai naturally didn't teach Wei Xiaobao any kung fu, and the mysterious Hai Gonggong didn't teach Wei Xiaobao any kung fu, and even Wei Xiaobao didn't learn a single trick or style from Chen Jinnan, one-armed Shenni and others.

Among them, Chen Jinnan and the one-armed Shenni are still Wei Xiaobao's real masters.

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

One day in November, someone suddenly posted a post asking: "Wei Xiaobao won't be a scoundrel for a lifetime, right?" (To be continued......)
