The Legend of Shushan Swordsman (episode 10)
About This Novel
"The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is a martial arts and mythological novel. During the war-torn period of the Anti-Japanese War, China surprisingly gave birth to a mysterious and bizarre "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman". This masterpiece of Chinese mythology "opened up an unprecedented spectacle in the novel world" and directly influenced the development of new martial arts novels such as Jin Yong's in later generations. Li Shanji (Shou Min), the great master of martial arts novels about gods and demons, created the most whimsical fantasy world ever seen in the world in "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" with a vast mind and a powerful pen: The sea can boil, the earth can be overturned, mountains can be moved, people can turn into animals, the sky can disappear without a trace, the land can sink without a trace, there is a sky outside the sky, there is an earth under the earth, there are lakes and swamps under the water, there are monasteries in the heart of stone, and the soul can leave the body. The novel takes the Shushan Sect as the main righteous gang, and tells the story of the Shushan disciples' experiences in learning martial arts and slaying demons. It especially focuses on the disciples San Ying Er Yun, Qi Diao and the Four Great Disciples. These people are all disciples of the Shu Shan Sect. They are all very young. In the process of going out to practice, they continue to have adventures and gain success. He discovered many rare treasures, and his abilities became more and more powerful. Among them, Li Yingqiong (one of the three heroes) was the most important junior figure. It described in detail that she went from an ordinary woman to get the purple Ying sword of Changmei Zhenren through countless coincidences, subdued the divine eagle Buddha slave and the orangutan Yuan Xing, and ate many rare things. After seeing Zhu Guo, she got the Taiqing Divine Flame Douhuo left by her predecessors and the Dingzhu from the White-browed Monk. Finally, she also got a Jiazi skill from her close friend Sheng Gu in her previous life. In short, she finally became the most outstanding figure among the descendants of the Shushan Sect. Therefore, even the senior masters in the book marveled at her adventures. The stories of these juniors Taking the third Shushan Sword Fight as a clue, the book always explains that the great battle between good and evil will begin soon - the third Shushan Sword Fight. This sword fight is the final test between good and evil characters. All grievances are ended at this time. In the gaps between telling the story, Li Shoumin often slyly reveals the results of the sword fight. This keeps the battle in the reader's mind. Another clue in the book is the Great Tribulation of Immortals five hundred years ago. Li Shoumin believes that those loose immortals and earth immortals who have not become golden immortals must constantly experience natural disasters and catastrophes. Therefore, many senior masters in the book are preparing for the upcoming three tribulations, and the Emei sect is constantly helping other righteous loose immortals who are not from the sect to prevent them from getting into trouble during the three tribulations. Some of the predecessors portrayed in the book are very distinctive, such as the strange beggar Linghun, the Ersou of Songshan, the camel god Yixiu, Zang Lingzi, etc. Since it is five million words in length, the author can fully describe it, which makes the work a bit messy, and there are often two connections. It takes a long time for the story to be connected. In the middle, the author begins to tell the background of the new main character in a leisurely manner. And this introduction often starts with his birth, so impatient readers are sometimes very distressed. It is a pity that these two clues were not completed, because when the author was about to continue writing, the political environment deteriorated sharply. Naturally, he did not dare to write such a novel anymore, so after five million words, countless unsolved cases and stories were left. When I read him, I often think of Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", both are unfinished masterpieces, but "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is far from the reputation of "Dream of Red Mansions", and there are not many sequels, which is really sad. In a certain period in China, it is really difficult for such novels to be recognized and praised by the mainstream literary circles in society.
