Chapter 221: The Truth of Dugu Nine Swords and the Mastermind Behind the Scenes
"Smiling Proud Jianghu"?"
Liu Xing opened the novel and found that this was not an ordinary novel, but a script!
The script is an indispensable tool in the filming of film and television dramas, and the performance of the actors is based on the script.
The book in front of me is a script adapted from "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and its text is not the same as the original novel of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but the plot is very close to "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
The total number of words in the original novel of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is more than 1 million words, but the number of words in the current script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is only 300,000 words, which is about two-thirds less.
This is mainly due to the fact that the script is mainly performed for supporting actors, and its language is more concise than that of the novel, with a lot of text that is not used in the performance being cut, and only the main dialogue remains.
Due to the lack of about 700,000 words, the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and the original novel of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" naturally cannot be compared.
Liu Xing scanned it with his book.

"The quality of the script is really much worse than the original. β
"Smiling Proud Jianghu" is Jin Yong's later work, and its narrative has reached the realm of perfection and superbness.
Jin Yong's previous works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and "Dragon Babu" are all five-star works.
However, the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in front of me is only one star, and the quality is several grades worse than the original work.
Seeing this, Liu Xing finally confirmed one thing - the original novel of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has appeared in this world!
Some people have seen the original work of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Then I used the original book to write the script of this "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
"Where did this script come from?" Liu Xing asked.
The bald old man didn't answer, he looked at Liu Xing a few times. said: "It seems that you are the legendary Black Shadow Man!"
Liu Xing asked rhetorically: "How can you see it?"
The bald old man smiled: "Your body is as fast as lightning, like a ghost." As far as I know. There are only two people in the world who have such skills. One is the Feng Manlou of the Feng family, and the other is the dark shadow man who has recently emerged. Feng Manlou had just escaped from the dungeon, and he couldn't have had time to wander around. Therefore, you can only be a shadow man. β
Liu Xingdao: "You seem to know a lot about the Black Shadow Man?"
"Of course, as long as there is a good story, I have to know it. Lin said, "The old lady is called 'Story Lin', and this title is not in vain. β
"Story forest?" Liu Xing said, "Your title is not very famous. Never heard of it. β
The bald old man smiled and said, "It's not strange that you haven't heard of it, when the old man was famous all over the world, you probably weren't born yet." β
After chatting for a few words, Liu Xing learned that the bald old man's name was Lin Shushu.
Lin Story liked to listen to stories since he was a child, so he named himself "Story".
Lin Story's greatest hobby in life is to collect all the anecdotes in the world, and because of the large number of stories he collects, he has earned the reputation of "Story Forest".
"In recent decades, people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. The rivers and lakes are calm, and there are fewer and fewer good stories. The bald old man Lin Shushu smiled, "The story of the Black Shadow Man is one of the most amazing stories in China in the last 40 years. Dark Shadow Man, the old man's biggest hobby in his life is collecting stories. We are fortunate to meet here today, I wonder if we are lucky enough to hear your story?"
After a pause, Lin added. "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. You tell me a story. I'll give you a story. β
Liu Xing confessed: "I may not be interested in your story. β
Lin said: "I can tell you a story about the wind full of buildings first, if you are not interested after listening to it." The old man will never force it. β
Liu Xing said: "If the story is not exciting enough, I don't appreciate it." β
"Of course. β
Lin Shushu smiled, picked up a pot of brewed tea on the table, took a sip, slowed down, and began to tell the story, "If you want to tell the story of Feng Manlou, you have to start with Feng Chaoyang, the ancestor of Feng Manlou." About 700 years ago, there was a civil official in the palace named Feng Chaoyang, who was a master of reading, and he invented a strange reading technique called sunflower reading, which is said to be able to achieve the realm of human and book unity. β
After inventing Sunflower Reading, Feng Chaoyang was ready to try a novel about entering the gods, and the name of the novel he was preparing to enter the gods was "Smiling Proud Jianghu". This "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is said to be a masterpiece of the world, and it was accidentally obtained by Feng Chaoyang. β
In order to better immerse himself in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Feng Chaoyang bought an island and built the island into the martial arts world described in "Smiling Proud Jianghu". In "Smiling Proud Jianghu", there are Fuwei Dart Bureau, Huashan, Sun Moon Divine Cult, Songshan, Shaolin Temple, Wudang, Meizhuang and other place names, so Feng Chaoyang also built these locations on the island. β
In this way, the island becomes a miniature version of the world of "Smiling Proud Rivers and Lakes". In order to make the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" more realistic, Feng Chaoyang also invited many actors to enter the island and let these actors play various roles in "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Some actors play Lin Pingzhi of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, some actors play Yue Buqun of the Huashan faction, some actors play Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan faction, and some plays the undefeated Dongfang of the Sun and Moon God Sect...... In order to make these plays better performed, Feng Chaoyang also specially wrote a script for "Smiling Proud Jianghu". β
Speaking of this, Lin Shishu pointed to the script in Liu Xing's hand and introduced, "The script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was written by Feng Chaoyang more than 700 years ago. Of course, this is not an original, but a photocopy. β
Liu Xing suddenly realized, no wonder there was a Meizhuang dungeon of Fuwei Bookstore on the island, and asked: "Feng Chaoyang transformed the island into the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", just to enter the gods?"
"Not bad. The reading environment has a significant impact on the effectiveness of reading. Lin continued, "The more similar the environment of the island is to the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the better the effect of reading the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu". The higher the success rate of entering the gods. "Feng Chaoyang reads "Smiling Proud Jianghu" on the island every day, and the surrounding environment enhances the sense of substitution. made him enter the realm of selflessness, as if he had really entered the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". β
"In order to make the island environment closer to the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Feng Chaoyang spent a lot of money to renovate the island. In order to realize this huge construction project, he even did not hesitate to secretly embezzle the treasury silver in the palace. β
However, Feng Chaoyang still underestimated the difficulty of entering the gods. He read "Smiling Proud Jianghu" on the island for 50 years, and until his death, he could not succeed, leaving only a bunch of reading materials. β
After Feng Chaoyang's death, his son and grandson continued to read "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which was passed down from generation to generation, for a total of more than 200 years. It's a pity that I still didn't succeed in getting into the gods. β
"Thankfully. After more than 200 years of development, this island is becoming more and more similar to the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". There is a Mount Tai in the east of the island, Mount Hua in the west, Mount Heng in the south, Mount Heng in the north, and Mount Song in the middle. In addition, there are Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Fuwei Dart Bureau...... Even the Black Wood Cliff of the Sun and Moon God Cult has been built. β
"At the same time, there are more and more dramas on the island. They are also accustomed to performing according to the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" every day, and over time, they even feel that they are living in the world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". β
"It can be said that this island may be one of the earliest story cities in Huaxia. β
"As the island gets better and better. The effect of the Feng family reading "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is also getting better and better. More than 200 years later, a once-in-a-century reading wizard named Feng Xiaoyun finally appeared in the Feng family. Feng Xiaoyun retreated in the cliff of Huashan Pai Si on the island for 70 years. In the end, it almost reached the supreme state of human calligraphy. β
Liu Xing's brows moved slightly: "The wind and clouds have succeeded?"
"Whether the wind and howling clouds have succeeded in entering the gods is now unknown. Lin Story introduced. "Because after 70 years of retreat, people go crazy. Lost his mind. But what is surprising is that after going crazy, Feng Xiaoyun's martial arts soared into the sky, and whenever he went crazy, he would perform a set of shocking swordsmanship. β
The Feng family suspected that this set of swordsmanship might be the "Dugu Nine Swords" in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", so they recorded the swordsmanship moves of Feng Xiaoyun one by one. Because Feng Xiaoyun's sword moves were too fast, many sword moves Feng family members couldn't see it clearly, so they could only remember a rough idea. After recording for three months in a row, they finally pieced together a complete set of swordsmanship and named it "Dugu Nine Swords". β
Soon after, the news of the wind and the clouds spread on the island, and the people on the island thought that the wind family's sunflower reading skills could really be fascinating. The temptation of the gods is too strong, so all the actors on the island begin to compete for the Feng family's reading book "Sunflower Treasure Book". β
"Some of these dramas are from Huashan, some are from Songshan, and some are from Qingcheng Mountain...... They killed each other for "Sunflower Treasure Book", and the plot in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" became a reality on the island. Among them, the drama in charge of the performance in the Fuwei Dart Bureau was even more tragically destroyed, all 37 members of the family were killed, and only one young man surnamed Lin survived. β
Speaking of this, Lin Shushu sighed softly and said, "This man surnamed Lin is my ancestor, he is an actor, he was originally only responsible for performing the plot of the Fuwei Dart Game on the island, but I never expected that such a tragedy would happen on the island later." People from all walks of life on the island broke into the Feng family with weapons in an attempt to take away the Sunflower Treasure Book. Unfortunately, all of these people died under the sword of Wind Howling Cloud. β
At that time, Feng Xiaoyun was completely crazy, he killed people when he saw them, and he didn't even let go of the people of the Feng family. His swordsmanship was so superb that no one could stop him. If it weren't for the fact that Feng Xiaoyun was too old and exhausted, and later died of a heart attack, the inhabitants of the entire island would probably not have survived. β
"After this tragedy, the Feng family realized the horror of the Sunflower Treasure Book, although it can make people learn superior martial arts, but it can make people lose their minds. So, the Feng family buried the "Sunflower Treasure Book" in the Meizhuang dungeon in West Lake to prevent a similar tragedy from happening. β
Since then, peace has returned to the island, and the Feng family has lived in isolation on the island. At the same time, the descendants of the Feng family began to practice the "Dugu Nine Swords" left by Feng Xiaoyun back then, which was passed down from generation to generation. β
"Because this set of swordsmanship is so exquisite, most of the people of the Feng family can only learn a little bit of it. It wasn't until later that a martial arts wizard appeared in the Feng family, who practiced "Dugu Nine Swords" to the highest level, and this martial arts wizard was the 37th generation of the Feng family's descendant - Feng Manlou. β
"Feng Manlou is extremely talented, he is the first person in the Feng family to practice swordsmanship to the extreme, which can be described as unprecedented, and can be called the 'Sword God'. β
"More than 60 years ago, I once saw Feng Manlou perform "Dugu Nine Swords" once, that scene was really earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, I will never forget it for the rest of my life. β
Speaking of this, Lin Shuyu's eyebrows flashed a strange color, picked up the tea, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
Liu Xing asked, "According to what you say, the forbidden book area was originally the territory of the Feng family, and the Feng family has lived on the island for dozens of generations. So, why did this island become a forbidden book area, and why was Feng Manlou imprisoned?"
Lin Shushu put down the teacup and said: "In addition to liking sword practice, Feng Manlou is also an old bookworm, and he likes it very much. He was so addicted to books that he would feel uncomfortable not reading a novel for a day. Due to the long-term book shortage, Feng Manlou began to read some forbidden books, and he collected a large number of forbidden books and stored them on the island. Later, these banned books were discovered by the police, and there were many illegal organizations in Huaxia that banned books, and the police suspected that Feng Manlou was the boss behind these illegal organizations, so they arrested Feng Manlou. β
"With the swordsmanship of the wind full of buildings, the police have no ability to arrest him at all. It's just that Feng Manlou wrote the wrong friend, was plotted by one of his most trusted best friends, was poisoned, and was finally arrested by the police. β
Feng Manlou thought that he would be in prison for a few years at most, but he never expected that this cell would be more than 40 years. It wasn't until later that he realized that the reason why he was imprisoned was not because he had banned books, but because someone wanted to get his family's "Sunflower Book". Feng Manlou was reluctant to tell the whereabouts of the "Sunflower Treasure Book", so he was always imprisoned in the dungeon of the island. The island was later classified as a forbidden area by the Reading Alliance due to its large collection of forbidden books. β
Liu Xing wondered: "Who betrayed Feng Manlou, and who wants to get the "Sunflower Treasure Book"?"
"It shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?" Lin Shushu reminded, "Back then, almost all the inhabitants of the island were killed by the wind and howling clouds, and no one in the outside world knew about the Sunflower Treasure Book. Except for the people of the Feng family, only one person knew about the "Sunflower Treasure Book". β
Liu Xing was slightly stunned: "Who?"
Lin Shushu smiled and said, "Of course, he is the descendant of the Lin family. You forget, there was a man in the forest on the island who survived. β
"Descendants of the Lin family?" Liu Xing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Lin Story, "You are the one who wants to get the "Sunflower Treasure Book"?"
Lin Shushu smiled......
