Chapter 528
Although Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's idea sounded very bad at first, Liu Xu pondered it carefully and suddenly found that it was not impossible.
Originally, there was no way to appear in the Romance of the Gods, because the story of the Romance of the Gods took place in the Shang Dynasty, and no matter how much the plot was made up, it was impossible to add the generals of the Three Kingdoms era.
Besides, in the future, is it enough to only give the military generals of the Three Kingdoms period gods?
What about the military generals of the Chu and Han dynasties that exist now? What about the generals of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and other periods that will appear in the future? This can't be a one-shot deal!
So at the beginning, Liu Xu instinctively rejected this suggestion, of course, this refusal was based on Liu Xu's copying of the original work of "Romance of the Gods".
But the question is, is it necessary to copy this Romance of the Gods?
Although the Romance of the Gods is also very famous in China, aside from the classical works such as the four famous works, except for a few books, it is the most famous of the Romance of the Gods, and it has also contributed many classic characters.
For example, Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao and other characters are all plumped up through the Romance of the Gods. Take Nezha and Yang Jian as examples, they both appeared in Journey to the West, who can remember their stories in Journey to the West, the familiar one is still from the plot of the Romance of the Gods.
Especially Nezha, who has been used as a monkey brother in the film industry in later generations.
Therefore, the Romance of the Gods is actually relatively successful in terms of plot and character design, which is also the reason why he can be liked by domestic audiences.
The biggest contribution of the Romance of the Gods is to provide the entire mythological system of the flood wilderness later, and this mythological system has also contributed many classic novels to the online text.
Maybe many readers don't like the mythological system of the flood and think it's too cookie-cutter, because except for the first few novels, all the subsequent flood novels basically continue the same story.
What is the Lich War, the Six Saints and Gods, etc., the plot of the whole world must be advanced in accordance with the context of the entire mythological system of the Flood Wilderness, even if the protagonist has to move forward in this vein, it is difficult to disobey the advancement of the entire main line.
And this is where the mythological system of the Flood Wilderness shines, which proves that the structure of this system is very perfect, and the logic of the behavior of all the main characters can stand up to polishing and carving.
And more importantly, the mythological system of the flood famine perfectly absorbed many classical Chinese myths.
Before the mythological system of the flood famine came out, the mythological stories of China were basically scattered, each with its own story, and there was no main line that could connect these stories together, and it was almost difficult to form a complete world view.
For example, the myths that everyone is familiar with, such as Pangu opening the sky, Nuwa creating people, Fuxi acting gossip, working together to hit the heavenly pillar, Nuwa mending the sky, three emperors and five emperors, Houyi shooting the sun and so on.
Before the mythological system of the flood came out, these stories could not be strung together.
However, after the emergence of the mythological system of the flood wilderness, these Chinese myths were connected by a complete story logic line, especially after countless authors checked and filled in the gaps and added various settings, the entire world view has reached the point where it is almost flawless and as true and credible as history.
This is also why many authors can only write step by step along the context of the entire mythological system when writing torrent novels, because this is like history, the traveler can only knock and make up in the torrent of history, and it is difficult to directly smash the entire historical trend with a stick, otherwise the logic of the entire novel will be completely exploded.
The basis of the entire flood myth system is the Romance of the Gods, which is the Romance of the Gods to build the most basic framework of the flood system, after the second re-creation of a certain author in later generations, followed by the enrichment of the flood novels written by tens of thousands of authors in the morning, and finally formed a huge flood myth flow system.
Liu Xu is also one of the senior enthusiasts, his favorite online novel to read on weekdays is the Flood Stream, and at the same time, he himself also combines the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Sou Shen Ji and other ancient mythological novels, to enrich and supplement the world view of the Flood Stream, so that they and the ancient Chinese mythology are more closely fitted, which makes Liu Xu feel a sense of achievement.
But it is precisely because of the description of the torrent and the Romance of the Gods, so Liu Xu also knows very clearly that in fact, there are many things that are quite badly written in the original novel of "The Romance of the Gods".
Or rather, where the logic contradicts itself.
One of the biggest problems is Shen Gongbao's "Taoist friends, please stay".
Those who are familiar with the plot know that once Shen Gongbao said the phrase "Taoist friends please stay" to a certain monk who intercepted the sect, then this person is basically on the list of gods, and the death is simply not too miserable.
It can be said that the reason why so many people died in the sect was that almost the entire sect was dragged into robbery, and Shen Gongbao had at least fifty percent of the credit.
But the problem is also here, a careful examination of Shen Gongbao's heels will find that in fact, Shen Gongbao is a disciple of the teaching, he is the apprentice of Yuan Shi Tianzun from beginning to end, and it stands to reason that he should not share the sky with the disciples of the sect.
But as long as Shen Gongbao said a word to Taoist friends, please stay, almost all the disciples of the sect obediently listened to Shen Gongbao's bewitchment, and forgot the admonition left by his own Tongtian sect master, "Close the door of the cave, quietly recite the three or two volumes of Huang Ting, throw yourself into the western soil, and there are celebrities on the god list".
After all, this admonition is basically a prophecy, as long as you stay in the cave and don't go out, you can escape, but these people just forgot their master's words, and they all left with Shen Gongbao.
For this point, the flood novels of later generations have given corresponding supplements, saying that the heavens and the earth are permeated with calamity at this time, and some monks will encounter broken heads, lose their wisdom and calmness, and come out to die.
But this is a supplement given by later novels, and there is no corresponding explanation in the original work of "Romance of the Gods".
In fact, to put it bluntly, the author of the Romance of the Gods was too lazy to spend more energy to carve the rationality of the plot, and directly used the tool man of Shen Gongbao to rot.
This kind of plot can be done at the beginning, but once it is repeated too much, it will inevitably make people desperately want to complain.
In addition, the immortals in "Romance of the Gods" basically have no divinity, under Hongjun Ancestor, among the six saints, one is counted as one, all of them are old silver coins.
And the disciples under them, except for a few characters who have written the protagonist on their heads and are not good at doing some pickled things, the rest of the disciples of the three sects are either sanctimonious bastards, or they are simply rotten devils.
It's ironic to say that the only person with a pleasing personality and personality is actually the Tongtian Sect Master.
Because only this saint was thinking about protecting his disciple from beginning to end, and in the end he even knew that there was a pit in front of him, but in order to avenge his apprentice, he still stepped into the pit with one foot, and in the end he even lost the 4 swords of Zhuxian at the bottom of the box.
And when it comes to the four swords of Zhuxian, I have to mention another slot in the Romance of the Gods.
That is, this novel is not a fight between immortals, but a fight with magic weapons, except for a few fierce men who have become holy in the flesh, the other immortals compete not at all their own immortal arts, but their own magic weapons.
Whoever has a magic weapon that is powerful, or whose magic weapon can restrain the opponent's magic weapon, will be able to win, which makes people very speechless.
But then again, in fact, this seems to be very reasonable, after all, in the future life, you will also have a nuclear bomb NB!
