Chapter 117: The Three Plagues of the Cause and Effect Rat
readx;? That's right! This causal rat, with the protection of the causal tree, is not close to this catastrophe, what kind of tribulation is he afraid of?
The causal rat said: "Before this, I lived under the causal tree, and with the shield of this causal tree, this heavenly way, too, could not find us creatures, so for so many years, no catastrophe happened to us, but later, the causal tree has fallen. I too www.biquge.info losing my asylum is no longer counted, and everything in name is no longer violated.
This fur of mine, although it has been impregnated by this causal tree for many years, is already inviolable, and this thunder tribulation from the Heavenly Dao cannot get close to my body. However, this internal organ of my body still has not reached this true fearlessness and inviolability. And the benefits and disadvantages of these three calamities, on the contrary, are the internal catastrophes.
During the first 500 years of thunderstorms, I can still use my causal fur to shelter me. I can escape, longevity and heaven, and you can't dodge it certainly, so you will die.
But in another 500 years, a fire will come from heaven to burn me. And this fire is not the fire of heaven, nor is it the fire of mortality, it is called the fire of yin. Burning from under its own spring hole, straight through the mud walled palace, the five internal organs turned into ashes, the limbs were rotten, and countless years of asceticism were illusory. At this time, my causal fur has no effect and cannot withstand it. It was a yin fire that burned under the Yongquan cave, and I couldn't do anything about it. Therefore, I can't avoid this second disaster, and if I barely survive it, it will be a monstrous luck. And you? You can't survive this first calamity, so you definitely can't survive this second calamity.
Finally, five hundred years after the arrival of the third calamity, the way of heaven is another wind and calamity to blow you. This wind is not the southeast and northwest wind, it is not the wind of the smoke Jinshuo, nor is it the wind of flowers, willows, pines and bamboos, it is called the wind of the eagle. Blowing into the six intestines from the fontanelle, passing through the dantian, wearing the nine orifices, and the flesh and bones are thinned. This is the same as the second disaster, although the fur on my head can resist some of this wind, but it is pervasive, dense and dense wind, it is impossible to prevent it, that is, the wind of those fish that has slipped through the net, blowing into the six intestines, my dantian, the nine orifices, and the flesh and bones, are also absolutely irresistible, must have died on the spot, and the soul is scattered. And you're not worth it,......"
I said, "Don't say anything absolutely! How can I be so useless in your mouth! I can't get through the first of these three calamities, and I look down on people too much!"
The causal rat said: "What I said is the truth! With your strength, this heavenly way will not notice your little characters, and the benefits and harms of these three calamities will definitely not befall you in three thousand years, hahahahaha......hahahahahahahaha
I stubbornly said: "This, this is too much, too bad, I am sure that in five hundred years, I will be able to make the Heavenly Dao notice me, and the benefits of these three calamities will also befall me." ......”
The causal mouse was surprised: "Hahahahaha, you kid, is also interesting, the cultivation creatures in this world, for this heavenly way, that is to avoid it, facing the benefits of the three calamities, but also to talk about the color change, I hope it will never be encountered, but, you kid, for the benefits of the three calamities, you still want the three calamities and the benefits and harms of the three calamities, hurry up and hurry, it will come to you, this you, this you, not looking for death!"
I am a special case, this has the blessing of the aura of the cause and fruit tree, and this heavenly way cannot find me. However, this is not only you, but all the people in the world, from the lonely souls and wild ghosts to the Sanqing Sect, all of which are under the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, and your words and deeds are clearly known by it. Although it is said that the way of heaven is ruthless, so it is the fairest, but it is difficult to ensure that its child's heart explodes, and before you grow up, the benefits of the three calamities that belong to you will come in advance, and you don't know how to die?......"
(I asked the causal rat and said, "This Heavenly Dao, when did a child's heart explode? What are some examples? You won't bluff me!")
The causal rat said: "Good people don't live long, bad people live for thousands of years, isn't this a living example! Also, those who eat what Qingdan Zhuguo and other immortal materials can soar in the day without penance, this is not a child's heart that depends on the way of heaven, is it because of the yin virtue of that person's ancestors, and the green smoke on the ancestral grave?!" (On adventures, it should also be "The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen") Li Yingqiong is the most prominent, she from an ordinary woman, after countless coincidences, got the Ziying Sword of the Changmei Zhenren, subdued the Condor Buddha and the orangutan Yuan Xing, ate many rare Zhu fruits, and got the Taiqing Divine Flame and the Dingzhu of the white-eyed monk left by the predecessors of the immortals, and finally obtained the Jiazi skill of her best friend Shenggu in her previous life, in short, she finally became the most outstanding figure among the descendants of the Shushan faction, so even the predecessors in the book were amazed by her adventures.
Of course, this is her previous life entanglement, Changmei real person, and even more, it is like a life like a hanging, as soon as she debuted, she ate the Zhuguo that was knotted once in 1,300 years, and got the purple purple Ying, Qingsuo double sword, Lingcuifeng (Ning Bi hairpin), Shengui, and what Tianhui, Yiguang double sword, seven cultivation swords (dragon name Jin Ling, toad name jellyfish, chicken name Tianxiao, rabbit name Yangluo, centipede name Chisu, turtle name Xuangui, snake name Qingling), red black ball, mandarin duck thunderbolt sword (given to Xun Lanyin, and later given to Qi Jincicada), Huoyun Chain (Changmei real person used to lock the demon corpse Gu Chen), Jiujie Immortal Building (Changmei real person cultivates and prevents demons, can resist the fire of Yue'er Mountain), this is really the same existence!
Here, I also want to pay tribute to Li Shoumin, the owner of Huanzhu Building, and this unfinished masterpiece "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman". A super-wonderful and bizarre "Shushan". This masterpiece of Chinese mythology, "an unprecedented spectacle in the world of novels", directly influenced the development of new martial arts novels such as Jin Yong in later generations. In "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", he created the world's unprecedented, most whimsical fantasy world: the sea can be boiled, the earth can be overturned, the mountain can be removed, people can turn into beasts, the sky can disappear without a trace, the land can sink without a shadow, there is still the sky outside the sky, there is still ground underground, there are lakes and marshes underwater, there are stone hearts and essences, and the soul can be separated from the body.
We have created and established a mythical world of cultivating immortals that can fly freely. In almost every immortal cultivation novel, there is a shadow of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by Li Shoumin, the owner of the Pearl Building.
The story of these juniors is based on the third Shushan sword fight as a clue, in the book, it has been explained for a short time, and the great battle between good and evil will begin - the third Shushan sword fight, this sword fight, is a final competition between good and evil characters, all grievances and grievances are ended at this time, in the gap between explaining the story, Li Shoumin often cunningly reveals the results of the sword fight. This keeps the reader's heart in mind about this big battle.
Another clue in the book is that five hundred years ago the immortal catastrophe, Li Shoumin believes that those scattered immortals and earth immortals who have not become golden immortals must continue to experience natural disasters, so many of the predecessors in the book are preparing for the upcoming three tribulations, and the Emei faction is constantly helping others, non-righteous scattered immortals of the sect, to prevent them from having accidents in the three tribulations. Some of the predecessors portrayed in the book are very distinctive, such as the strange name Hua Linghun, Songshan Ersuo, the camel god Yixiu, Tibetan Lingzi and so on.
Because it is five million words, the author can comprehensively describe it, which makes the work a little messy, often two connected stories, it takes a long time to connect, and the author in the middle begins to tell the background of the origin of a new main character in front of him without hurry, and this introduction, he often starts from his birth, so the anxious reader, sometimes it is really distressing.
"This novel, there is also a modern article incomparable characteristics, that is, its author, is a traditional literati, and because of his belief in Lu Zu's Wuliu Tianxian lineage, so under its brushstrokes, always, with such traces, whether it is to describe the characters or the scenery, all with, the gorgeous style of traditional ancient texts, for readers who love the color of ancient texts, reading this novel, it is really a kind of enjoyment. The ability of the master of the Pearl House also lies in a thorough understanding of the traditional Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, so the martial arts and magic weapons in the book have a beautiful name, and contain the functions of the spirit of the three religions, such as the Buddhist's Tianlong Demon Sword, Thunder Cymbal, Dingzhu Divine Light, and Buddha Fire Heart Lamp. The Taoist Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon Avoiding Shuttle, Purple Smoke Hoe, Green Spirit Marrow, Red Desire Bag, and even the magic weapons of evil demons are also very powerful, such as the Five Ghosts White Bone Hammer, the Blood Transformation Divine Knife, and so on. This work has a great impact on the new school of martial arts represented by Gu Long, Jin Yong, and Liang Yusheng, like the eighteen palms of the dragon in the book, the magic power of the fingers, the white-haired witch, in short, this book is definitely a masterpiece in the history of martial arts novels, which is worth a big book, Mr. Bai Xianyong has repeatedly read through this book, thinking that "there is no other book that makes me so fascinated." Later, the famous RPG game - The Legend of Sword and Fairy also borrowed the background of the Shushan School, in which the prototype of Li Xiaoyao's master "Wine Sword Fairy" is the character "Drunken Taoist" in the book.
There are two factors to consider when writing any novel: fun and writing. The best way to reflect the quality of the writing is the large section of the writing scene.
Nowadays, many novels have little or no scenes, only take the plot as long, and often use low-level **** descriptions to attract publishers and readers. Although there are sexual descriptions in Dream of Red Mansions, the theme is serious, unlike the theme of some modern novels, which is to write about sex.
"The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" has a lot of writing scenes, the writing is beautiful, the words are beautiful, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after reading, which is refreshing. But the vast majority of readers of martial arts novels just look at the plot, regardless of the author's writing, or they have no literary level at all, to distinguish the quality of the writing. But this is also understandable, because martial arts novels themselves are for people to use as a pastime after tea and dinner, so they can only be regarded as popular literature.
The interest of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is very strong, overpowering all other martial arts novels. First of all, the plot is very twisty and bizarre. Martial arts novels, readers who have read a lot, must have this kind of experience, many modern martial arts novels, you can estimate how the plot will develop next, eight or nine are not far from ten, just like the plot of modern TV series, because they are formulaic. Moreover, it is reflected in the work that the author's knowledge is very narrow. This makes it less interesting and attractive. And the plot in "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" cannot be predicted, how it will develop next. If you want to know, you have to watch it, so it becomes attractive.
In general, martial arts novels are written about chivalrous men with martial arts. In order to attract readers, the author writes about martial arts more and more bizarrely, so that it seems very unreasonable and violates common sense. And "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" writes that characters such as sword immortals are like the wonderful hands in the legends of the Tang and Song dynasties, flying extinct and traveling thousands of miles in an instant. The sword immortal used a flying sword, a white light, a golden light, and took the head of a person thousands of miles away. In "The Woman of the Wild River", although there are also flying swords, they are too simple, and they are not as diverse as the flying swords described in "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan", which changes greatly and is more interesting. It also describes, the bizarre overseas fairy mountains, and the strange monsters and monsters. In some martial arts novels, formations are described, including sword formations. But compared with the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", it is too simple and boring. Let's talk about "Fengshen List", "Journey to the West" has a magic weapon, like a heavenly seal, playing a golden light. There are also many magic weapons in "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan", such as the Fahua Golden Wheel, which can emit a piece of golden light, wrapping people in self-defense, so that the enemy's flying sword magic weapon cannot be attacked. And the seven treasures described by it, the Buddha light, the Shenyu token, the heavenly mirror, the Qiantian one-yuan thunderbolt, the clutch Shengui and other magic weapons, are more magical and lively than those in the god list. Another example is the flag gate array composed of flags, which has five element changes, mutual growth, blue, red, yellow, white and black, representing the five color rotation changes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and there are also physical changes in the three states of soda and ice substances, which combines the principles of science into the five elements, and exhausts the rich imagination of the human brain. Writing about the sword fairy again, using mana to create a circle of light, from which you can see that what happened thousands of miles away, just like modern TV fax, has become the science fiction of Jules Verne in France. This is something that is not found in any other martial arts novel, and it is completely unique. ”
"The First Strange Book in the World (recorded from the inaugural issue of Hong Kong's "Martial Arts Spring and Autumn" monthly)
Author: Ni Kuang
In my mind, the first strange book in the world is the martial arts novel "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" written by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion. As soon as this statement was raised, there were no more than two reactions: those who are fascinated by "Shushan" must agree, and those who have never watched "Shushan" must shake their heads.
It is not strange to shake your head without reading "Shushan", because if you haven't read it, it is naturally not enough to understand the wonder of this book.
"The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan" is, which year began to be written, I don't know for sure, most of them were before the Anti-Japanese War, and the first episode was published, one after another, at least until 1948, a total of fifty-five episodes were published, and it was not finished, and there were five sequels, and some "sisters", such as "Changmei Real Man Collection", "Emei Seven Dwarfs", "Wudang Seven Women", "Qingcheng Nineteen Heroes" and so on, but they can be regarded as the works of the same system as "The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen".
The strangeness of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" is that the whole book is full of rich fantasy, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, unprecedented, any novel is full of such wonderful and incredible fantasy. As far as the martial arts novel itself is concerned, the works of the lord of the Pearl Mansion are rigorously structured and fluently written, and they are not as good as Jin Yong; the personality is agitated, and the feelings are modern, and they are not as good as Gu Long; but in terms of the richness of imagination, there is no one before and no one after him, and Huanzhu recognizes the second, and no one dares to recognize the first. Hong Kong's martial arts novel lovers are very unfamiliar with "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", but the authors of martial arts novels in Hong Kong and Taiwan are by no means strangers to it.
This is not to say that every author is plagiarizing the works of the Lord of the Pearl Mansion, but only explains one situation: under the light of a generation of grandmasters, it is difficult to get rid of his influence, and only those who themselves and have the same skills can be exceptional. As far as the martial arts novel itself is concerned, "Shushan" is not the best of all Huanzhu's works.
"Shu Mountain" is majestic, heaven and earth, all-encompassing, but the boutique is a "Sea of Clouds and Wonders" by the owner of Huanzhu Building, a total of seven episodes, and it has not been written. Another reason why Hong Kong martial arts novel lovers are unfamiliar with "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is because the Hong Kong version of this book, the school arrangement, is too bad, and there are so many typos, almost to the point that people who have read the original version before can understand it. As early as more than ten years ago, I published a newspaper and wanted to solicit a set of original editions published by SH Zhengqi Books, but there was no result, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult at present. More than ten years ago, I made a vow to sort out the "Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan", add new punctuation, delete some of the branches in the fifty-five episodes, republish, and dare to say that its sales must be above the currently published martial arts novels, but one, has been very busy, and second, local publishers have little confidence in it, and it has not been realized. The reason why the book "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" is unreachable is that in this book, the author has established an "ideological system" (as it is called in vain), with certain rules and steps, pointing out the path from a "person" to an "immortal" and "superman", which has become a kind of law for cultivating immortals. The whole book of "Shushan" talks about how the "cultivators" work hard to achieve positive results. In the pen of returning the pearl, the path and final purpose of cultivation can be as follows: A: Jin Xian (Heavenly Immortal) - live in heaven for a long time, free from disasters and disasters, at ease, and live with heaven and earth. B: Earth Immortal (Scattered Immortal) - Every few years, there will be a catastrophe, called "Heavenly Tribulation". If you can get through, you have to wait for the next heavenly tribulation, but if you can't get it, either the form and the god will be destroyed (everything is finished), or the body will be destroyed, and the original god (soul) will be reborn in order to cultivate the next life. There are many reasons why scattered immortals can't be cultivated to heavenly immortals: either because of their stubborn temperament, or because they are entangled by ****, or because they have mistakes, all kinds of differences. In the process of cultivation, trembling, there must not be a little negligence, let alone a little evil deeds. This was originally the evolution of Buddhism and Taoism, but the evolution is in the novel, and it is so thorough that it can only be found in the book "Shu Mountain".
Naturally, the rich imagination of the owner of Huanzhu Mansion did not come out of thin air, but was mostly inspired by ancient Chinese books and the result of the author's extensive reading. For example, in "Journey to the West", the "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick" weighing 13,500 catties was originally used to measure the depth of the river when Dayu controlled the water. The objects used by Dayu to control the water will become "treasures", which is naturally influenced by "Journey to the West". There are all kinds of monsters and goblins in the pen of Huanzhu, some of which can also be found in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but some are really incredible. For example, entrenched in the Antarctic Bright Realm, a monster "Wanzai Han Worm", I don't know what it is, this monster has nine bodies, six heads, and will transform into a stunning beauty. As a result, the "Genshami" of a stunning beauty made by a monster was taken away by the wife of a man who was originally a large spider and hid on her husband's chest.
This is just one of the hundreds of short stories in Huanzhu's works, which can be glimpsed at the whole leopard, and it can also be seen how strange this book is. At present, Huanzhu's works seem to be popular again, a TV magazine, in the republication of his "Liuhu Xia Yin" (a work that is not up to the level of Huanzhu's works), and the Shaw Brothers Company is ready to cooperate with a large number of stunts to prepare for the filming of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", so I remembered this world's first strange book, and I made another vow, as soon as I have time, I will start to sort it out, so that martial arts novel lovers know that there is this wonderful novel that can make people forget to sleep and eat. ”
"Shu Mountain" Spring and Autumn Magic Pen in and out of the Qingyin Xuantiandi Mansion, the mountains, rivers, sun and moon are empty, the first fantasy book of ancient and modern times.
Immortals, Buddhas, demons, birds, beasts, insects, fish, people can become immortals, birds, beasts, snakes and insects can all become demons, and those who are advanced can cultivate until the Yuan Shen leaves the body.
This rare masterpiece, fantasy twists and turns, climaxes repeatedly, the author also believes that the real "Shu Mountain" began after the fifth volume of the book after the 200 episodes, the first five volumes of the 200 episodes before the writing, limited to the general martial arts form to write very uncomfortable, the last fifty volumes gradually entered the wonderful realm of gods and demons.
Under the main pen of the Pearl Building, such as the magic weapon, the ever-changing formation, the shocking monster, the fairyland of relaxation, the Lingfeng Jiamu, the white stone clear spring, the wonderful fragrance of the cloud brocade, the blue sky is ethereal, the sky is clear, the island is starry, if the phase is spit, the clouds fly across. Nine days crane dance, Qinglu auspicious set.
The master of the Pearl Building, a shocking masterpiece with 5 million words, has had a huge impact on later martial arts novels such as Liang Yusheng, Jin Yong, and Gu Long, Chinese postmodern gods and monsters, Xianxia and other types of novels, games (such as The Legend of Sword and Fairy, etc.), and many works. The "Top 100 Chinese Novels of the Twentieth Century" by "********" ranked 55th, especially above Gu Long's "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" (84) and Liang Yusheng's "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" (87)!
"The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", is the most famous masterpiece of the lord of the pearl building, and it is also the longest one, up to five million words, it can definitely be called a masterpiece, his biggest feature is that the gods and demons and martial arts are perfectly combined, in the development of Chinese literature, the source of martial arts literature is the legend of the ranger and assassin in Sima Qian's "Historical Records" in the early Han Dynasty;
The legend of the Tang Dynasty, after setting up a model of "martial arts" in literary language, through the five dynasties and the Song Dynasty, there is no outstanding development in the subject matter, but it is an imitation of the Tang legend. But this period is of great significance in the history of literature, and it is linguistically seminal. The "art of speaking" is widely circulated among the people, and this vernacular form of fiction has a lot of roots with later martial arts novels.
The real martial arts started from the legendary novels of the Tang Dynasty, which produced the famous bearded guests, Nie Yinniang, Kunlun Nu and other chivalrous, and later after the transition of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the "Water Margin" that appeared in the Ming Dynasty pushed the martial arts to a peak, and the martial arts of the Qing Dynasty appeared "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" It is another peak in the history of martial arts, its appearance directly affected the literary creation of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and later appeared Wang Dulu, whose works are generally classified as the Beijing school, began the transformation of martial arts, combined history, and the description is more delicate. The arrival of the real martial arts climax during the Republic of China period was because of the Lord of Huanzhu Mansion and his Shushan swordsmanship. This work is also the originator of the Xianxia novels in later generations.
It dawned on me, "Oh yes!")
As soon as I heard the causal rat say this, I hurriedly said "Bah, Bah, Bah......" to the ground, and said to the Void Sky: "Lord Tiandao, you adults don't remember villains, you adults don't remember villains, I just now was all my nonsense, it's all my nonsense, you must not take it seriously! You must not take it seriously......"
Seeing that I was chattering like this, the causal rat kept begging for mercy from heaven, holding his stomach, and couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahaha, hahahahaha, hahahahaha, you kid is going to laugh at me to death!
I didn't just say that with your current strength, you still can't enter the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, you can't attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao, and most of the attention of the Heavenly Dao is still ...... , almost said that he leaked his mouth.
(Because most of the attention of the Heavenly Dao has been consumed by other aspects, the attention to the Journey to the West World has weakened, so the control of the Journey to the West World has decreased, making people have the illusion that the Heavenly Dao has died out, so the world began to move, there is a tendency of chaos, and some people shouted: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand.") slogan. In fact, this way of heaven is eternal and unchanging. )
So, you just have 10,000 hearts! What you just said will not be heard by this Heavenly Dao......"
"Really?" I asked.
"It's true!" said the causal rat with an oath.
"That's it!" I put down my heart, and I asked again, "What about you?"
The causal rat was also a little embarrassed and said, "This is also a last resort! It is only in the last few years that I have felt that my three calamities are coming,......
I asked, "Well, can everyone know when their three calamities will come?" After all, it is a question related to the stakes of the three calamities, so I still asked clearly.
The causal rat said with certainty: "The benefits and harms of these three calamities can be regarded as the most unpreventable kind of catastrophe, and the creatures that can survive are also very small. Therefore, these creatures, before the arrival of these three calamities, will have an instinctive reaction, just like the way of heaven has given you a death notice, so that you have time to prepare for this catastrophe, or rather, let you have time, let you write a suicide note. And this prediction time is the deeper the mana, the prediction time before the three calamities is also greatly advanced, and there will be more time to prepare for this tribulation.
And the accurate time of this prediction is generally an error of plus or minus ten years, but as long as your sixth sense is very sharp, to a certain extent, it can predict a certain minute and a certain second at a certain time on a certain day. ”
I suddenly realized that it was instinct! I asked again: "When will the time of your three calamities come?"
