The Long-Hatred Blade

"The Knife of Everlasting Sorrow", which was finally completed after three years, is a long martial arts suspense novel that is very enjoyable to read in one sitting from the beginning. As a martial arts novel with a traditional setting, "The Knife of Everlasting Sorrow" actually chooses a very common martial arts plot as the beginning of the story - "Go up the mountain to learn skills, and come down the mountain to take revenge." After that, the main line of the entire article revolves around exploring the truth of the family murder case and finding the "real murderer". As the story progresses layer by layer, as one mystery after another is solved, the truth behind the Jianghu massacre finally involves the struggle for power in the court... Behind the dark secrets are full of desire and hatred, instigation and calculation, conspiracy and traps. Fortunately, there is still no lack of true love and chivalry in the world. Even if the ending of the story may not be as satisfactory as expected, it can still make people see the infinite dawn... If you simply use the most popular labeling method to summarize "The Knife of Everlasting Sorrow", you may feel that it does not seem to break away from the general "routine" of traditional martial arts literature. Various "elements" such as revenge, investigation, treasure hunting, escape, and verification of life experience have always been common in traditional martial arts literature. Even in terms of character design, I felt from the beginning that the author may have been influenced by Jin Yong's martial arts. The settings of the two protagonists Fang Chuanzhi and Qin Sheng are a bit like Jingrong CP (there may be an inverse CP here ^^)... But after reading the whole story, I felt that the whole story was not cliché and unique, and the writing style was full of smooth language but full of ancient meaning. It was a very enjoyable read! In summary, there are two places in the whole article that surprised me. The first is about the character design of the protagonist's biography. If we apply the style and genre of martial arts masters to divide "The Knife of Everlasting Sorrow" into a "camp", combined with the background, setting and story narrative method, I will think that this is a martial arts novel that is relatively Jin Yong style. As we all know, Jin Yongfeng's martial arts are worldly martial arts. The main protagonist of "The Knife of Everlasting Sorrow", Fang Chuanzhi, has been burdened with a blood feud since he was a baby. His loyal servant has been reminding him for more than nine years, making him remember from an early age that he must practice kung fu hard and avenge his family when he grows up. However, the loyalty and kindness in his nature and the ignorance of worldly affairs that he developed from growing up in the mountains, as well as his subsequent changes after meeting the thoughtful, witty and cunning Qin Sheng, make it easy to think that his future growth trajectory may be a replica of "Guo Jing"... This should be a male protagonist who is very consistent with the "worldly" values ​​​​in the martial arts world. However, Chuanzhi's growth was completely beyond my expectation. When he was young, he followed Yun Shangke Chen Shuping to practice martial arts. When Chuanzhi said "I don't want revenge" for the first time, I knew that Fu Jiu's long-cherished revenge plan might not be so easy to realize. As a martial arts master, Chen Shuping's outlook on life instilled in Chuanzhi is completely different from Fu Jiu: "There are thousands of voices in this world that you have never heard, thousands of beautiful scenes that you have never seen, interesting people in the world, and There are countless interesting things. How can you see them if you are stuck in this mountain all your life? There is no future." Although Chuanzhi went down the mountain all the way to investigate the massacre of the Fang family, he never lost his pure and kind heart because of hatred, and he also made dialectical thinking about the past perceptions of "good guys and bad guys", and was even able to accept objective and neutral "questions" about whether his deceased relatives were good people... This is an extremely rare "alternative" in the Jin Yong martial arts world where good and evil are divided and classes are divided. Just imagine, if Chuanzhi really grows up as Fu Jiu expected, or even becomes obsessed with paranoia like Zhuang Jingting because of the growing fire of hatred, I am afraid he will become another "Lin Pingzhi"... The author said in the postscript that Chuanzhi is a born pacifist, a troubled boy with a head full of problems. He writes about him experiencing various conspiracies but always maintaining a kind and gentle heart, which expresses his understanding of chivalry. In the story, in addition to the beloved Asheng, Chuanzhi's character also affects many people, such as Hongqiu, the Zheng brothers and sisters, Luo Cheng... At this point, I think the author has succeeded in shaping it. The second thing that particularly surprised me was Chuanzhi's life experience. According to the traditional model of inertial thinking, after the end of the Luomei Village Heroes League, Chuanzhi's identity has been "rectified", his grievances have been cleared, and all past grudges have been resolved. Giving up the wealth of an unparalleled country, and flying away together with Asheng at this time to live freely in the world may be in line with everyone's expectations of a "happy reunion" ending. However, just as the story is coming to an end, the protagonist is involved in a voyage that turns on the "no survivors" mode, narrowly escaping death... But what is a hundred times more shocking than this is the sudden reversal of Fang Chuanzhi's true life experience in the finale! Although I have always been happy to see the reversal ending where God unfolds and turns the story, and after reading the postscript, I already knew that "the young man who was forced to embark on the path of murderous revenge only discovered after everything was over that he could have had another destiny" was the author's original intention in creating this story. But I have to say that I was a little bit disappointed with this ending at first. But after carefully recalling all the details, I feel that everything is reasonable and reasonable: Why is it that all members of the Fang family are scheming and suspicious by nature, but Chuanzhi, from his state of mind to his actions, has never looked like the Fang family since he was a child? In addition to being influenced by Yun Shangke since childhood, maybe it is more due to the nature in the blood, right? … At the end of the story, the author did not give a clear answer as to whose son Chuanzhi was, which can be said to have left a suspense. But I secretly hope that Chuanzhi is Xie Shenshan's child. Although it may not stand up to scrutiny from a logical point of view, there are a few details that I can't help but think about. First, among the important people at that time, only Xie Shenshan's wife and children have remained missing. The place where the Xie couple met and the place where Chuanzhi's biological mother was later buried are both in Taihu Lake. Is this another coincidence? Second, contact the timeline. The article clearly states that if Xie Shenshan's child were alive, he would be about the same age as Chuanzhi. Third, based on the information from all parties, given the temperaments of Xie Shenshan and his wife, it is more scientific to give birth to a child like Chuanzhi. Moreover, Xie Daxia, who was once "the greatest hero in the world", is his biological father, which makes him more in line with what a male protagonist should have???. Fourth, when Xie Shenshan knew that Qin Zheng was the daughter of an old friend but did not know that Qin Sheng was the son of an old friend, he once said about his engagement with Qin Ming: "If my family is a girl, I promise to be his wife; if it is a boy, I will ask you to marry her." "He said that no one in the world is worthy of his Qin Ming's daughter"... It seems that he later "married" his son instead of marrying his daughter, which was completely in line with the expectations of the two fathers (?? ??), And in this way, Chuanzhi and Asheng are not only a perfect match, but also a match made in heaven by their parents o(*////▽///ω\*). Finally, I can't help but sincerely express my admiration for the main CP's emotional line. If you read this story for the emotional line, I personally feel that you will not be disappointed. As the author himself said, this is "the ideal and beautiful classical love, where we fall in love at first sight, understand each other, support each other, protect each other, and ultimately stay together for a lifetime." I personally think it is very appropriate to label the relationship between Chuanzhi and Ah Sheng as "mutual favor". No matter how many tests they endure along the way, their hearts are always firm, which is particularly precious in a martial arts story with many fates and many disasters. The author's postscript says that they will be very happy in their subsequent lives. These words relieved a lot of my resentment about the unsolved mystery of Chuanzhi's life experience. After all, no matter what bloodline he comes from, Ah Sheng loves him wholeheartedly, the only one in the world: "You are my Chuanzhi, I will always remember it in my heart, and you will never forget it from now on." But ordinary people like me still hope that in the future we can see a perfect extra story where two people join hands to listen to the breeze on the river, look at the bright moon in the mountains, and travel around the beautiful scenery of the world, QvQ! PS: Confess your love to Liang Baikai! Thank you for persisting in writing this story for three years. It was a surprise to read such a thrilling and tender martial arts novel in 2018.

Wow, there is a back-up plan. In fact, I never understood why Zhang San wanted to conspire with Master Fang to kill the entire villa. Is it because I missed it or it's not revealed yet?

Does Luo Cheng like the emperor? Let me see what he said. Sheng looks like an old friend. And he is not from the king's side. Maybe the emperor is also a wonderful person. Luo Cheng admires him or something. Hey, but I am just guessing.

Oh my god, I guessed before that Cen Qing liked Ah Sheng's father. Because he mentioned something about the sound of bronze drums and firecrackers filling the sky, Cen Qing was very sad. That time should be the time when Ah Sheng's parents got married. Oh, it was too painful. Cen Qing was bitter and Su Yun was also bitter. They were both in love but couldn't help it. In contrast, Chuanzhi and Ah Sheng were in love, and they were the happiest couple among them. But Ah Sheng's limbs are now broken, and it would be too uncomfortable if he can't get better later.

Ah, ah, I was shocked. It turns out that Cen Qing likes his senior brother

Alas, I actually guessed it halfway and thought of Fu Hongxue. Fortunately, Chuanzhi had a good grandfather, and fortunately he met Asheng.

I've finished reading it. It's really well written. It's really good. I admire my wife. It's just that Qing Huan is so miserable, like a lump in her throat...

Ah Sheng was bought by Chuanzhi with a lifetime of blessings... When I first saw that the second young lady's face was cut in half, I wondered if she had found a scapegoat. I also speculated that she was the mastermind behind the scenes, instigating a discord between her husband and father-in-law so that she could monopolize the treasure. Unexpectedly, she was met by Fu Jiu, so she faked her death and escaped, but she didn't guess right 23333 I feel that the girls in the article are all suffering too much. Qing Ning, Qin Zheng, Aunt Yun and even Hongqu are all such good girls but none of them are HE... It's a pity...

This chapter is so well written! !

Feng Jue must be related to the eldest young master. The person named Zhuang cannot be the eldest young master. Before, I felt that the eldest young master had no sense of existence and it seemed useless to him. When Fang Da came out, it must have something to do with him!
