Epilogue 『1』

The book has two endings, the first of which is definitely not suspenseful, and the husband and wife are in love and respect each other. But I don't like this ending, what I like is that the second ending is unique, and this second ending is also the final ending of the novel.

Although Zhang Wuji said that he would wait for Zhou Zhiruo for sixteen years, he may not really wait, and many things will happen in sixteen years. For example, Zhang Wuji couldn't wait, so he went to Mobei to find Zhao Min to live. Or maybe Zhu Di found Zhou Zhiruo, or Zhou Zhiruo couldn't let go of Zhu Di, and went to Zhu Di to vomit lovesickness?

Of course, these are just my guesses, maybe Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhi can survive sixteen years, and it is unknown that the two will finally tie the knot. It's up to the reader's imagination to imagine, and I can't interfere with it.

How Zhang Wuji is in the original book, we have been analyzing this for many years. He is the protagonist in the original book, and he does things naturally smoothly, as a scumbag, but at the same time he is also a hero, which has to make people feel emotional. This point, in fact, makes the old body not cold, the old body often thinks, if he doesn't go to the protagonist, what will happen to him, can he still be so smooth sailing?

So in my sequel, he is no longer the protagonist, but I think his scum is indeed magnified, but his chivalry is definitely not the kind of chivalrous villain in the original book, but the chivalrous man who personally leads the troops to fight.

When the Sun and Moon Divine Cult was founded, the heroes wanted to burn Long Ruijiao to death, and Zhang Wuji faced 3,000 heroes alone, without fear, and resolutely rescued him. The Battle of the Yangtze River, led 400,000 Ming troops to fight a decisive battle with the King of Ruyang on the river, which was also the time when his prestige as the King of Ming reached its peak, the Battle of the Yangtze River was a turning point in the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was also the largest battle against the Tartars since the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is very clear in the novel. I made him the supreme commander of the rebel army, this chivalrous man has been raised to the same height as Guo Jing, and he is the greatest hero.

Then, Zhang Wuji led the army in Anhui and fought fiercely with the King of Ruyang for half a year, and finally defeated the King of Ruyang again, although I have passed it aside, but the difficulties and obstacles can be imagined how difficult it is, for Zhang Wuji such an indecisive, people who do not understand the world, it is already his limit to do this step, because he is not the protagonist, I have no focus on writing these deeds, if it is described in detail like the original book, you will find that Zhang Wuji's chivalrous spirit has not only not disappeared, but has been put bigger by me.

As for the emotional part, he is very scummy, this point has also been amplified by me, he and Zhao Min, Long Ruijiao, Long Shan are not clear and entangled, he loves every one, and wants every one from the bottom of his heart, this is his character.

The relationship between Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji can be said to be full of twists and turns in the original book, so let's not talk about this. Just said that in my sequel, from the beginning Zhao Min wanted to give birth to a child for him, he never agreed in order to take into account the canons and his promise to Zhiruo. From the bottom of his heart, he felt ashamed of Zhao Min, plus Zhao Min was later framed by Long Ruijiao. He misunderstood Zhao Min again, so he not only loved Zhao Min, but also felt ashamed, which led to why Zhang Wuji later left the army to meet her in Dadu because of Zhao Min's flying pigeon biography. Although Zhang Wuji accidentally killed Lu Zichu because he was provoked by Zhao Min's words, he became angry, which led to a madness, but there is another reason, which I did not write in the novel, because of the guilt of Zhao Min, this reason cannot be expressed in the novel, and can only be experienced by the reader.

Long Ruijiao likes Zhang Wuji, it was love at first sight, and for Zhang Wuji, he can no longer serve the emperor of the Yuan family. In order to get Zhang Wuji, she can do whatever it takes, she can deliberately scar herself and win sympathy. She knew that Zhang Wuji was soft-hearted, so she gave Zhang Wuji an aphrodisiac and became pregnant with Zhang Wuji's child. Zhang Wuji is a person who values love and righteousness, for the sake of the child, he can no longer leave Long Ruijiao, so Long Ruijiao succeeded. In addition, I have to say that if Zhao Min or Zhiruo had half of Long Ruijiao's means, then Zhang Wuji would be bolted to death, and other women would have no chance at all.

To sum up, because of his chivalry for the country and the people, I will mention it in one stroke, how to fight the war in Anhui for most of the half year, let the reader's brain make up. As for his relationship with several women, I focused on writing this, so you will feel that his scum has been amplified by me, if Zhang Wuji is not the protagonist in the original book, then his character design is similar to that in my sequel.

This sequel, readers who have read the old version know that Zhiruo took the chivalrous route, for Duruo, became a generation of heroines, and the world admired her. Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min, and Long Ruijiao are together. Lu Zichu was killed by Zhang Wuji because he turned from good to evil and helped Zhu Yuanzhang deal with Zhang Wuji.

This new version has to take the taboo route and change too much, so as readers who have read the old version said, it is completely different from the style of the Battle of the Yangtze River. Yes, there is this feeling, this is something that cannot be helped, and if you change more, the natural artistic conception will change.

Zhou Zhiruo is a heroine for the country and the people in my sequel, and she is also a well-deserved leader of the rebel army. In the old version, Zhou Zhiruo always only had Kang Yuan in her heart, and there was no shadow of Zhang Wuji. In this new edition, I took great pains to write a taboo. On the one hand, we must keep the spirit and deeds of the old version of Zhiruo Kangyuan unchanged, and on the other hand, we must deal with the feelings of Ji Ruo. It is necessary to develop steadily, because these two people have different concepts, it is easy to make trouble, and the boat of friendship will capsize immediately if it is overturned.

Because Zhou Zhiruo is a chivalrous warrior, his mind is full of expelling the Tartars and returning my mountains and rivers, while Zhang Wuji is a hermit, and his mind is full of returning to Shaolin with beautiful women. It's actually hard to write about these two people being together.

In this sequel, Zhang Wuji proposed to Zhou Zhiruo several times, but Zhou Zhiruo did not agree, not entirely because of Zhang Wuji's scum. To put it bluntly, if Zhou Zhi wants to complete Guo Jing's last life, she can't go into hiding. She is the head of a generation, she has a heavy responsibility, she is not a hermit, she and Zhang Wuji have different personalities, so although the head of the family loves Zhang Wuji, he has never promised him, which is to pave the way for the ending of Duruo.

So if the ending of the taboo old body has been conceived for a long time, how to say, from the first to save Mowgli, the second to save Mowgli, the third to save Mowgli, and Wuji and Wang Baobao together in Dongling Mountain, these are all to pave the way for the ending of Jiruo. Because since you want to be jealous, then you must first have love, and if Zhi wants to love Zhang Wuji, it must be clearly reflected. How to embody it? It is to save Zhang Wuji regardless of the danger, to save him no matter what, and to pull him back when he is confused. And Zhang Wuji also wants to have love, so he set him to kill Lu Zichu for Zhao Min, repay her great kindness, and break off Zhao Min with a knife. Even confessed to Long Shan, although he was powerless to refuse, he said in his heart and mouth that Zhiruo was his wife, so that Long Shan understood that he only loved Zhiruo. Let Long Shan know from her heart that no matter how high your martial arts are, you can only get my Zhang Wuji's body, but you can't get my Zhang Wuji's heart, this is to pave the way for the ending of Jiruo.

Because this sequel was originally Duruo, and now if you want to add a taboo ending, it must be changed. It seems that there must be a problem, but there is no way to do it, and it is difficult to have both. Unless it's deleted, write a new book of them all, write them all directly, and set the settings at the beginning, so it will look very reasonable. I promise that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely write a sequel to pure jealousy, instead of having two endings as complicated as it is now.

Besides, why did Long Ruijiao and Lu Zichu die?

Long Ruijiao has already explained the experience of being with Zhang Wuji above, so why did she want to die? This is not because she will die if she ends up, whether it is Jiruo or Duruo, she will not escape death. Because of the medicine given to her by Emperor Yuan, not only is the child gone, but she will not be able to give birth in the future. She used the child to tie Zhang Wuji's heart, without children, she can only get Zhang Wuji's sympathy, and maybe she can't even get Zhang Wuji's person. There is also a child who is the blood of the Zhang family, Zhang Wuji has long reached the age of being a father, but she can't even keep his child, and she has been humiliated by Emperor Yuan many times, in order to keep the child, she also took the initiative to cater to Emperor Yuan. In the end, she still didn't save the child, so she felt ashamed of Zhang Wuji, so she committed suicide to end herself.

Lu Zichu is a hero, and when I wrote about his death, I cried, the only time I cried when I wrote a novel. Regardless of whether it is taboo or alone, no matter the old version or the new version, Lu Zichu is going to die. The old version of Lu Zichu died unjustly, and the new version died too unjustly, but if Lu Zichu did not die, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect would not be able to turn from white to black. Only Lu Zichu died at the hands of decent people, which made their sect members feel that there was no good reward for doing good deeds, and it was better to do bad deeds, which was why the Sun Moon God Sect was called the Demon Sect in the future. Moreover, Lu Zichu likes Zhiruo, and when he really can't ask for it, he will be like the old version, enter the Demon Dao, and be used by Zhu Yuanzhang again to oppose decent people. So instead of letting him become Zhu Yuanzhang's pawn, it is better to let him retain his decent chivalrous heart and die, so that readers can remember that Lu Zichu is an infatuated man and a hero for the country and the people.

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Who Fights" is the third and final part of the "Youzhilan Fan Trilogy".

I have written a total of four versions of this book, and each version has a different ending, but I personally feel that this version is the best written and the longest consumed.

Zhou Zhiruo in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Who Fights with the Front" and Li Qiushui in "Su Murong, the Aunt of the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon", and Guo Xiang in "Guo Xiang Heroine of the Condor Heroes" are completely different in personality.

Li Qiushui is a person who does her own thing, she can kill people for Murong Fu, and she can do all kinds of bad things. Although this is a bad phenomenon, she also knows deeply in her heart who the person she loves is. "For details, please enjoy Yu Zhilan's other fanfiction "Tianlong Babu's Gusu Murong".』

Guo Xiang has a soft spot for feelings, and if he identifies Yang Guo, he will not change in his life. Even when she and Murong Haolong were in the realm of life and death in the ice cave, she was unwilling to accept Murong Haolong's show of love, even if it was only for a moment, she would not agree.

And Zhou Zhiruo in the article may be able to keep pace with Guo Xiang in martial arts. But when it comes to merit, she overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, which is far greater than Guo Xiang. But when it comes to love, she is confused. Although she has been emphasizing that she loves Ah Yu, she has been saying to Ah Yu in her heart that she will 'think of you, miss you'......'.

But did she love Ah Yu or Zhang Wuji in her heart? She didn't know at all, she couldn't figure it out, she couldn't guess it, and she didn't even know myself.

Because I still don't know, what kind of feelings Zhou Zhiruo has for Ah Yu? Is it family affection, or love? Since Zhou Zhiruo doesn't know, then I don't know even more.

But since Zhou Zhiruo has been written like this, then I have no choice, everything can only go naturally.

After all, love in this book is the end, focusing on the feelings of "for the country and the people, the great man of chivalry".

At the beginning, Zhou Zhi pinned his hopes on Zhang Wuji to overthrow Dayuan, so he would desperately save each other in the ghost palace and on the top of the light. But when it came time to save her for the third time, she understood that Zhang Wuji was not a heavy task at all. The reason is that Zhang Wuji left his army to go to the capital because he received Zhao Min's letter, and from this point of view, Zhang Wuji has lost the morale of the army and the people.

At such a difficult moment, Zhou Zhiruo had no choice but to stand up and lead the heroes to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty. On behalf of the Han people in the world, she accepted the surrender of the Mongol empress, and this merit was enough to comfort the spirits of the exterminating Shitai, Guo Xiangnuxia, Jing, Rong, Yang, Long, and Yeluqi.

At the same time, the Emei faction also recruited a wide range of people, and the martial style was extremely strong. Zhou Zhiruo is also the supreme martial arts, except for Zhang Zhenren, his martial arts have already won the world, it can be said that he is invincible in the world, and the Emei faction will carry it forward, and the extermination master will also be smiling Jiuquan.

There are still some flaws in the book "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Who Fights with the Fight", that is, why Zhou Zhiruo suddenly fell in love with Ah Yu, which is not clearly written, which makes people seem strange. That can only be added and changed when the book is bound, or the old Ice Cave plot will be added, which may be more reasonable. But I'm afraid it's hard to convince everyone, because after all, I'm not good at writing about love, so the love part of the book is not very exciting.

But the fights in the book, the dialogues of the characters, the psychological descriptions, etc., are all clearly written. It looks like reading the original book, which is quite comforting to me.

When readers read the book, they can pay more attention to the feelings of family and country inside, and don't focus on the details of love. Otherwise, it is easy to have a "reading barrier", just like the "martial arts barrier" in martial arts.

To be chivalrous in life, modern people must understand the truth of patriotism. We must love our country and nation, patriotism does not matter how big or small, and there is no superiority or inferiority of the nation. Just like Zhang Dingbian and Zhu Wenzhong in the book, even if they are not with people, they will also go to serve the country with loyalty, and then die.
