Chapter 267: Tearjerker
"Poof!" Despite the tense atmosphere created in front of him, the young man couldn't help but laugh. Not only him, but also the readers laughed.
On the previous page, Du Ziyuan used such dark tones and exaggerated lines to render, they thought something terrible would come out, but a cute thing jumped out, isn't it funny?
"Don't laugh!" roared the round beckoning cat. However, its funny appearance wants to make people laugh even more.
Fortunately, the two monsters caught up in time, otherwise its majesty would have been lost.
Afterwards, the beckoning cat explains to the young man why the monster chased him. Because he has one thing in his hand that the monsters want very much, not a rush syrup, but a "Beast God Book".
The Book of Beasts contains the names of countless monsters, and as long as the holder pronounces these names, he can command ten thousand demons.
That's right, the story that Du Ziyuan continued to write was a reference to the content of "Natsume's Friend's Account".
He actually thought of "Natsume" when he saw that the first boss of "The Legend of the Beast God" was the nine-tailed demon fox, and it was very simple to combine these two stories.
First of all, he set the timeline 1000 years after the male protagonist of "The Legend of the Beast God" ascended, and the so-called Beast God Book is actually an immortal weapon that he refined with his own demon control technique.
The Beast God Book has been passed down from generation to generation.,In the 500th year, a genius appeared among the descendants of the male master.,Holding the Beast God Book and subduing I don't know how many monsters.。 The name of this genius is "Suzu", which corresponds to Reiko Natsume in "Natsume's Friend's Account".
Then this young man who was chased by the youkai was called Natsume, corresponding to Natsume Takashi. Suzu is his grandmother, which also explains why his surname is Xia instead of "Dongfang" like the protagonist of "The Legend of the Beast God".
In Du Ziyuan's setting, due to the undisciplined ascension of the male protagonist of "The Legend of the Beast God", his family declined in less than a hundred years. When it came to Suzu's generation, she was even more unrelated, and later she gave birth to a daughter, and her daughter gave birth to a son. This son is Natsume, the protagonist of Du Ziyuan's pen.
The beckoning cat is actually the nine-tailed fox in "The Legend of the Beast God", the appearance of the beckoning cat is just a trick, and its body is still a majestic white fox. Du Ziyuan only needs to make some adjustments to overlap the spots in "Natsume's Friend's Account" with it.
The nine-tailed demon fox in "The Legend of the Beast God" is not dead, but was beaten back to the juvenile mode, and lost his memory, so the hero didn't care about it. Du Ziyuan set 1,000 years later so that it would have enough time to re-cultivate. Amnesia can also perfectly explain why the sequel will have a different character from the original book.
In fact, the most difficult part of combining "Natsume's Friend's Account" and "The Legend of the Beast God" is in the setting of the monster. The monsters in "The Legend of the Beast God" are ordinary monsters, nothing special, but the monsters in "Natsume's Friend's Account" are all invisible to ordinary people. There must be a reasonable explanation for this, otherwise many plots will have bugs.
Du Ziyuan thought about it, and finally added a setting: 1000 years ago, the male protagonist of "The Legend of the Beast God" cultivated to be the best in the world, he not only killed the demon emperor and made the status of the monster fall to the bottom, but also generously taught some of his demon control methods.
The people who received his teachings gathered together and established a sect of immortal cultivation called the "Imperial Demon Sect", and they went around capturing monsters for enslavement, and the situation of the monsters became more and more difficult from then on. In order not to be captured, the monsters cover their bodies with demonic powers, and unless they are profound, humans cannot detect them.
In this way, the two worldviews are unified.
Although "Natsume's Friend's Account" is a female-oriented manga, the protagonist is a man, and the story is suitable for both men and women, which is recognized as a tearjerker. If you think about it, there are really not many Japanese anime who can make it to season 6, which is the strongest evidence of the popularity of "Natsume's Friends".
"Natsume" has brought countless touches, Du Ziyuan only painted the first few episodes of the first season, but it is enough to impress. For example, Lushen, a spirit who was condensed by incense, refused the suggestion to go to a large temple in order to accompany his last believer, and instead disappeared with the death of his last believer.
"That's fine, I can go with Hanako, I've been just watching her, and now I feel like I'm finally able to touch her. Thank you, Natsume, for how cute humans were, and still are. ”
When he saw Lushen say, "Humans are so cute," the judges present, even the men, felt their noses sour. Although the story is bland, it just has a kind of magic that makes people move.
The picture goes back decades ago, when Rujin greeted Hanako for the first time. Hanako regretted that she didn't answer Lushen's words at that time, and at the end of this story, Du Ziyuan gave her another chance, and this time, she finally mustered up her courage.
"It's been a great day. ”
"Yes. ”
......
Before you know it, thousands of pairs of eyes in the field are already soaked with tears.
On the stage, Liang Yuxing cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Woo woo, Mr. Shanfeng's cartoons are too touching, but ...... Why is Yan'er a blind person, so she still hasn't been able to see her father-in-law, woo woo woo ...... "He is a big man, he cries more than a girl, he is really a sentimental person."
The Yan'er in his mouth is the last story drawn by Du Ziyuan, corresponding to the Yan in the 6th episode of the first season of "Natsume". The main body is a young swallow that dies before opening its eyes, so it can't see anything after it turns into a ghost after death. Because she is a ghost demon, she will not be seen by humans even if she is not blocked by demonic energy, and only a cultivator with a strong natural bloodline like Natsume can communicate with her.
Yan'er's liveliness made Natsume like her, and regarded her as a friend, and even went deep into the demons for her to snatch treasures that could temporarily transform people for her.
In the end, Yan'er successfully met her Engong, but due to the limited function of the treasure, she didn't speak, and she didn't really see the appearance of Engong, she just stood quietly beside that person with a happy smile on her face.
Natsume saw Yan'er's blindness in the Lingguang Jade image, and she couldn't help crying after all. She likes Natsume, she likes the gentleness of humans, and Natsume also likes her cheerfulness. I just don't know if these tears are happy because of her friend's wish fulfillment, or sad because she has never been able to see the person she meets.
The three judges who were supposed to comment were also silent at this time, apparently not recovering from Natsume's story.
