Some people questioned the "Wei Xiaobao Theory of Evolution" at the beginning of the novel's serialization, not because of his rhetoric and complaints, but because of his inferences based on the character he showed in the first few stories.

First of all, Wei Xiaobao is very smart, extremely good at improvisation, and quick response, which is easy to think of Yang Guo when he was a child;

Secondly, the fourth chapter of the novel writes about the fight between Wei Xiaobao and Xiao Xuanzi, and the appearance of this chapter makes many readers think that it is a reproduction of Ouyang Feng, the top of Huashan. Hong Qigong used Yang Guo as the intermediary in the competition, readers who have read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" naturally understand the heavy impact of that competition on Yang Guo, and everyone naturally guesses that this is Gu Yongsheng's habitual makeover of the old bridge;

In the end, Wei Xiaobao, who has a smart and great opportunity, has no interest in learning martial arts at all, and when Hai Gonggong taught him moves, he showed that he was smart, cheating, and perfunctory, and did not show the temperament and potential of a hero when he was young.

Wei Xiaobao doesn't have the idea of "I want to become stronger" at all, and he is very not keen on things like "martial arts", and according to the atmosphere and trend of the text, this kind of character is deep-rooted and a conscious behavior, so more and more readers have begun to question whether the protagonist of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" will be a scoundrel to the end.

If this book is written by other authors, everyone will definitely not have this kind of worry, but Gu Yongsheng's words, many people will not dare to play this package ticket, as the strongest martial arts novel author in history, in order to add another classic image to the martial arts character gallery, in order to explore a new way of writing martial arts novels. It's not entirely impossible to portray a rogue protagonist.

Looking at the works of famous artists, we must be mentally prepared that "he may suddenly be innovative".

Of course, another possibility is that Wei Xiaobao's mother was killed or the entire Qinglou was razed to the ground, and Wei Xiaobao was determined to learn martial arts in order to take revenge. Change the flow of air in the body. Other than that, I can't think of anything else. ”

There are already people thinking about the reversal node for Gu Yongsheng, of course, this is more or less also a construction of Gu Yongsheng Don't risk the world's disapproval to write a rogue protagonist, after all, reading martial arts novels, it is very difficult to substitute a scoundrel, and the reading experience will be a lot less fun.

Mr. Jin Yong also apologized for this in the afterword of "The Legend of Deer and Ding": "Readers of martial arts novels are accustomed to substituting themselves as the heroes in the book. However, Wei Xiaobao can't be substituted. In this regard, I am sorry that some readers have been deprived of some of their enjoyment. ”

This sentence also illustrates the author's time when he was writing this novel. It was a conscious innovation in style and form, "and that was intentional." ”

Readers in this world also quickly realized Gu Yongsheng's "intentionality".

The serialization of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was released chapter after chapter, and Wei Xiaobao's troubles were one after another, but every time he used wit and scoundrels to escape and ascend to heaven.

As the saying goes, "Read a book a hundred times." The meaning is self-evident". Regular readers only need to read a few more chapters to roughly judge the future direction of the story from the context and trend of the story's development.

Summing up the stories that have been sent, Wei Xiaobao's glorious deeds are also quite few, in addition to starting to sprinkle lime powder, then killing Xiao Guizi, dealing with Gonggong Hai, accidentally getting acquainted with Emperor Kangxi and becoming a good friend, and then accidentally killed Ao Bai to become the incense master of the Heaven and Earth Society. Started a black-and-white all-you-can-eat life.

One by one, as of the latest serialization. Anything Wei Xiaobao does has nothing to do with high-level martial arts, it all depends on seeing the wind to make the rudder, stealing and playing tricks, and improvising.

This is the trend of the book - the protagonist does not need any martial arts at all to move freely between the various intricate forces.

In "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", Lin Xian'er uses her body as a weapon, and Wei Xiaobao in "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" uses this "strain" as a weapon, a weapon that may be more useful than really powerful martial arts.

However, as a martial arts novel, is this setting really appropriate?

In fact, there have been many readers on the Internet who have posted complaints, and some even suspect that "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was created by Gu Yongsheng at the request of a gunman, and it was just sent under his name, anyway, this kind of thing has become an open secret in the literary world.

When the novel was serialized to Wei Xiaobao using the matter of saving Liu Yizhou to coerce Fang Yi, the opposition of the forum reached its first peak.

"You can't let Wei Xiaobao become a martial arts master, a martial arts novel that 'the protagonist doesn't know martial arts' is already an innovation, and then the selfishness and selfishness of his body that are affected by the environment can also be accepted, but this kind of trick and abduction trick is too shameless, right?"

"What do you want to express in shaping the role of Wei Xiaobao, purely to say that no matter how you write martial arts, will anyone watch it?

Then I have to say sorry here.,I can't accept this disgusting character.,I can't read this novel with pursuit.,See you in the next book.。 ”

After the denunciation was ineffective, readers began to abandon the book, and Wei Xiaobao's behavior really angered a large number of traditional martial arts lovers.

Liu Jingting didn't come forward to explain, because he knew that it was a waste of time, in fact, why didn't anyone in the forum explain over and over again?

"This is a very ironic novel, do you really think that Wei Xiaobao is a good-for-nothing person? No, absolutely not, Wei Xiaobao is not only not a person who is good at nothing, but also a person with skills all over his body.

It can be said that everyone has his skills, but most people don't dare, disdain, or do it because of many constraints, but Wei Xiaobao has done it all, has no face and no skin, has no scruples, and doesn't think it's wrong, so he succeeded.

This is Chiguoguo's irony, ridiculing a qiē hypocrisy and pretentiousness, breaking through a qiē Qing rules and precepts, and fighting for whatever you want, which is a complete liberation of individuality.

From a certain point of view, Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin" is also this kind of person, the difference between him and Wei Xiaobao is that one fights for force and the other fights for intelligence, everyone can accept force to solve a problem, but can't accept to solve a problem with wisdom?"

Although there are some problems with the concept of substitution, there is some truth in the analogy. So then a group of netizens with the same view appeared.

"There are so many "Success Studies", "Thick Black Studies", and "Workplace Classics" on the market, but what is the reason for this masterpiece that is entertaining and educational, and integrates elements such as thick black, workplace, and success?

Friends who will step into society, enter the workplace, mix officialdom, and are ready to chase girls should read "The Story of Deer and Ding". We should all learn the spirit of Wei Xiaobao!"

This kind of deliberately hateful killing post is naturally the fate of being drowned in saliva.

"So, did Gu Yongsheng write "The Legend of Deer and Ding" to advocate Wei Xiaobao's success learning? So, some people criticized that it was really right to include martial arts in textbooks, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Then, "Wei Xiaobao's values" became the mainstream topic of discussion in the forum.

At this time, Chang Youdao and the others finally felt that the wind direction was not quite right, and continued on this topic. It won't be long before Gu Yongsheng will become a bad author who "brings bad social atmosphere" and "teaches bad children".

Chang Youdao immediately opened a tuba to speak at the forum: "Characters in novels need a growth process, which is the minimum literary logic. Nor are heroes heroes from birth.

Moreover, I want to ask everyone to be careful when reading the book, although Wei Xiaobao has such and such problems, he is a righteous person. A man who sticks a knife in the ribs for a friend. In this era when you can insert friends twice for the sake of profit, haven't you seen this kind of positive energy?"

Chang Youdao's response is equivalent to the official confirmation that "Wei Xiaobao will grow into a big hero", and for a while, everyone put their minds at ease and said "It's good if there is a reversal".

In this regard, Liu Jingting was also unexpected, it seems that Lao Chang also thinks that Wei Xiaobao will become a perfect hero in the end, and it is understandable for him to have this judgment. Because they usually discuss literature with Liu Jingting, the two agree on the rule that "artistic roles must change from the beginning to the end".

Meaning: Whether it is the story itself or the characters in the work, at the end of the story, there will be some kind of transformation, complete a baptism and redemption in the soul, find the true self, jump out of a problem that has plagued you for a long time, and so on.

In short, a successful artistic image must slowly change as the story progresses.

In the same way, Wei Xiaobao will naturally change, but what Chang Youdao didn't expect is that Wei Xiaobao's transformation is still based on his current inherent cognition, he has not become a hero like Guo Jing who is famous all over the world and serves the country and the people, nor has he become a resourceful prime minister like Zhuge Liang who serves the country and the people, especially he has not become the infatuated and single-minded prodigal son of Yang Guo.

Wei Xiaobao's change is that in the end, he is neither willing to be a perfume nor a big official, but takes his wife, children and huge wealth to live in seclusion.

Therefore, Chang Youdao's explanation quickly collapsed as the serialization continued, and seeing Wei Xiaobao accepting beauties one after another, and there were detailed psychological descriptions every time, that kind of smugness, despicability and shamelessness angered readers again, and another wave of readers rebounded and broke out irrepressibly.

"So Gu Yongsheng finally can't avoid the vulgarity of opening the palace, "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" can be regarded as completely abolished, right?"

"Don't tell me anything about shaping characters and innovating forms, Wei Xiaobao is a projection of Gu Yongsheng's self-consciousness at all, which fully exposes Gu Yongsheng's macho tendencies and dark mentality of desire for polygamy, which is regrettable and disappointing. ”

"Before I abandon the book, let me complain about the chapter names of this book, Lao Tzu didn't understand any of them!

……

Despite the strong backlash from readers, the magazine's sales have not dropped significantly, suggesting that most readers are still hoping for a miracle.

Based on this situation, Liu Jingting had to decide to finish the book "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in advance again, and before that, he posted the postscript on his blog as a response to the controversy:

"The Legend of the Deer and Ding" is no longer quite like a martial arts novel, rather a historical novel...... "The Story of the Deer and Ding" is completely different from the previous martial arts novels, that is deliberate. An author should not always repeat his own style and form, but try new ideas as much as possible......

The protagonist of the novel is not necessarily a "good person", one of the main tasks of the novel is to create characters; good people, bad people, good people with shortcomings, bad people with advantages, etc., can be written...... "Water Margin" writes that Li Kui kills innocents indiscriminately, and robs when he loses money, in order to create characters, and by no means encourages everyone to imitate his behavior.

"The True Story of Ah Q" writes about the Spiritual Victory Method, and it is by no means to encourage everyone to learn the Spiritual Victory Method......

Here I want to solemnly say to young readers: Wei Xiaobao in this novel attaches great importance to righteousness, which is a good character and can be learned, as for the rest of the various behaviors, do not follow them. Remember!

Finally, I would like to inform you, for me personally, martial arts novels are written here, and there is not much to write later, so I want you to know that only in terms of martial arts novels, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" will be the penultimate martial arts work I launched, and after the end of the next book, 'Gu Yongsheng' will officially seal the pen from the martial arts world!"

As soon as this news came out, it immediately set off a terrifying wave in the entire literary world. (To be continued......)
