It's fun to read online articles, but what moves people the most is the humanistic sentiments "Brother Was a Legend", the author Fuyue Changnan is "reasonable" with cool and funny writing. Let me explain this term here. I say "sane" because the plot arrangement is generally reasonable, the logic is basically online, and the characters are also very complete and three-dimensional. But due to some chance and coincidence, there will always be moments that make readers shattered. I have to mention the author's writing here: because his knife does not appear all at once, but "sharpened slowly." In fact, when reading, readers will gradually have the feeling of "ah, this plot is going to go wrong...". However, because of the rationality of the plot and the fullness of the characters, readers will think that such a "knife-like" development is natural, so there will be no drama caused by the author's "excessive force". In general, it is different from some articles that are torture for the sake of torture. The plot of the whole article is relatively simple, and even at first glance it seems to be the tone of a refreshing article: the protagonist is a dandy who goes to Beijing without any ambition. He should have lived an ordinary life, but because of a similar face, many important figures (including the eldest princess/shangshu/prime minister/general...) Recognized him as Bai Yueguang, whom they had followed when they were young. As the plot develops, because of all the striking similarities, the protagonist seems to be the Bai Yueguang himself. In the end, the truth was revealed: this world was once a mission world for the protagonist as a quick traveler. He came back to life after experiencing many worlds. After his memory was sealed, he re-entered this world and recovered his memory by chance. It's easy to find something cool: I said I'm not Bai Yueguang, but you always think my origins are a mystery and my mind is a monster! I said I just wanted to lie down but you all thought I was making a big deal out of it! I just want to slip away silently but always pretend to be successful at critical moments ! ... In the end, all the cool points point to: I seem to be a dandy, but in fact I am Bai Yueguang in the old life of the court! My body is full of single arrows, but I can't have any emotions! (Bushi) BUT is an outline that seems funny and makes readers feel happy without thinking... It's not easy to write it well! Especially in the later part of this article, the protagonist recovers the memory of when he was Bai Yueguang, but at the same time retains the memory of him as a playboy in this life - I always think this setting is worth pondering. How do people decide that they are their own? It seems to be largely determined by people's memories and experiences. So, am I no longer me after amnesia? After the fusion of two or even multiple memories, am I still the same person? [A little aside here, I once followed a fast-traveling movie called "Cannon Fodder Attack System" (authored by Thirteen-Eyed Black Cat), and this article actually seriously discussed this issue at the end. So, how did the author of this article solve this thorny problem? In my opinion, he regards the memory and life attitude represented behind the two names "White Moonlight" and "Dandy" as the light and dark sides of the protagonist's heart. When he was Bai Yueguang, the protagonist was the blade of the empire, the territory of mountains and rivers, the god of death and the guardian; but he was infinitely indifferent in his heart, pursuing adventure, excitement, and power. The world was just a game or a chess game. As the saying goes, "The world behind the pen is the world on paper." When he was a dandy, the protagonist was also the object of ridicule among young people in Wuling. He was a "family treasure boy" with no ambitions and a weak temperament. He didn't like reading and instead liked to walk around and enjoy the scenery. However, his heart was really soft, and his ordinary life actually made him enjoy life. From this point of view, it is not that the "White Moonlight" will be "bright" in one lifetime, nor will it be the "dandard" who will be "dark" in one lifetime. The light and darkness of human nature are like Yin and Yang, like Tai Chi. It is because of me in you and you in me that the protagonist can taste the joy in pain in these two lives, and there is also excitement in the ordinary! At this point, I have to admire the author's exquisite conception. Of course, the smooth and beautiful writing style is only the most mediocre of his many advantages. This is also part of the "humanistic care" in my title. The second point is completely and completely reflected in the "bonds" created between the protagonist and the people of this world. For the protagonist, no matter it is the first life or the second life, whether he is a white moonlight or a playboy, whether he is indifferent or sincere, no matter how many people he has killed, saved, protected, and been protected - he can think that the world is false, and even the people who love him, hate him, admire him, and fear him are also false - but no matter what, he cannot lie to himself, and the emotions and bonds between them are not real. For example, a certain person is immersed in playing a game. The game is virtual, but people cannot say that what he is doing is itself virtual. As the saying goes, "meaninglessness itself is also a kind of meaning." Ahem, that's a bit far-fetched. However, what I want to express is roughly this: the protagonist successfully logs in and out of the mission world time and time again, fights desperately in the conspiracy, and crawls and wallows in power, but he also gets to know the people who fight and struggle with him. This is his bond. How could it not be true for those who fought alongside him? I personally think that compared to the protagonist, they are actually the ones who should be angry more. Because they do not have the ability to "reincarnate" like the protagonist; the only thing they can do is to be told after everything has settled, ah, it turns out that the world I am in is just a game and a dream; and as I enter middle age, I have finally calmed down the glory and magnificence of the first half of my life in my heart, and I have finally forgotten "that person" - the person who once met me when I was young and amazed me for the rest of my life. However, in this article, I was delighted, even moved, to see their final reconciliation with the protagonist, or the protagonist's reconciliation with them, or their reconciliation with themselves. I particularly like the character of Prime Minister Pei, whether it is his humble attitude, calm self-control, forbearing affection, or his ten-year loyalty and long-term love. He was the first to realize that the protagonist might be Bai Yueguang himself. I admire and am moved by this sensitivity and sensitivity. If the troubled times no longer exist, if the time is just right, if there is an if, Prime Minister Pei may say this: I love you, your warm palms, your proud eyes, and your upright posture. So I admire you, follow you, help you compete in troubled times, and work hard to be that hero with endless waves. I thought that after years of separation, we would never see each other again in this life. In fact, I realized in the end that you wanted to wish me good luck and good luck, see you later. Spend half your life together, and meet each other half your life. Fortunately, "I can still see you" "I haven't forgotten you yet"
Le, Xie Changlin also said that there has never been anyone in his family who has done evil. The problem is that a child from an aristocratic family can make common people doomed with just a word. How many examples are there of Su Jinzhou? You can raise your own son like this, yet you dare to say that the family is innocent. Moreover, at that time, the state of Wei was in such a bad state that it was almost destroyed. Didn't the family have any responsibility? If it weren't for the male protagonist "trampling all the bones of his ministers", there would probably be no Wei State now.
In fact, the final reason of the story is revealed at the end, why a modern person who traveled through time can become an indelible god in everyone's heart, and why there is a so-called second rebirth, allowing Ye Zhao to meet his old friends again and continue the past that ended in a hurry. At the beginning of the story, Ye Zhao was mistakenly identified as Tianshu, which led to frequent murders. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? When the answer is settled, it is more of a helpless and sad feeling of knowing the truth. The beginning of Ye Zhao's relapse may be exactly what the article describes. A simple modern man is happy to spend his life as a playboy. However, because of the systematic tasks that fall from the gods to the abyss in an infinite loop, human nature is being wiped out. Gods and demons can only think about it, leaving only a scarred soul that has experienced thousands of worlds. Ye Zhao's relatively warm life with the world may be due to the influence of his remaining sanity, and he is also redeeming himself, but perhaps more of it is the warmth given to him by the world. This warmth may come from the friends who have been accompanying him day and night and working hard in their careers. Friends, they can chat and laugh together, or they can share the national crisis, or it may be Pei An who knows him best. A vague affection arising from a misunderstanding connects the two of them, or they may become close friends or old friends through their back-and-forth encounters with Xize Dongling. It may also be the bedtime stories he took the trouble to tell Emperor Wei or the occasional monk in the Buddhist temple, who gradually portrayed the former Tianshu completely through the eyes of others. It is precisely because of these that Ye Zhao gradually escaped from his sick self, but the deep-rooted past is still like a thorn. Perhaps after all the merits are fulfilled, what Ye Zhao wants to do more is to give up everything and be a carefree dandy.
Alas, it is still a pity that [Tuzu] Ye is separated from the previous generation by decades, and the obscure emotions between them can no longer emerge. There is also a gap between Tianshu and the subsequent generation. It is destined to never go back to the past. [Tuzu]
Is this really the end? I wanted to ask this, but maybe the best choice is to stop here. I was recommended by the forum. When I saw the introduction, I thought he was my type. An ordinary dude turned out to be the Bai Yueguang who passed by all the big guys. How cool. I thought it was fun at first, but the more I It feels so heavy when I look at it. Master Tianshu is like the bright moonlight, but who knows his past, he has been killed and killed others. During the experience of being Lingchi, he has already become a madman. I feel sorry for him. Maybe in the beginning he was not that Tianshu, just Ye Zhao, but he is no longer Ye Zhao. For Xie Lang, I want to say that class is the greatest original sin. "When capital comes to the world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and filthy things." Maybe this sentence is not quite correct to use here, but this is what I mean, and you can see it from Xie Yusong. I agree with what the sister said, raising such a son What kind of good person can he be? Xie Yusong's behavior reflects class oppression. It is precisely because he is afraid of latecomers taking the upper hand that he suppresses the other party and solidifies his own class. I saw an old man say this before, people always like to say that your ten years of hard study can not compare to the struggle of several generations of others, but doesn't my family work hard? Don't those ordinary people work hard enough? No, that's just a lie told by the upper class to fool the lower class. It's a class lie. Let's go back to Pei Shi'an. A misunderstanding has made him wait his whole life. Was it "King Xiang intended it, but the goddess didn't"? Not exactly! Tianshu must have been touched by him, but those betrayals still affected him. In short, it's so good. It doesn't matter whether they are together or not together. Pei Shian may have let go, or he may not have let go. The story continues, we are just spectators. Are there any extra updates? I believe they will get better [star eyes] [star eyes]
Alas, although Mr. Tianshu is very good, I still love the carefree young man. Mr. Tianshu has carried too much, experienced too much, and is too tired. I hope he can take a good rest and live like this for the rest of his life. The son went on without any worries, with Jiang Ziqi as his best friend, a happy family like Ye's father and Ye's mother, and a shabby teahouse. He spent his life quietly, without any major national affairs to worry about, and lived happily and at ease all his life. [Spread flowers][sprinkle flowers][sprinkle flowers]
Really, oh my god The whole book is a story about obsessions that are constantly unfolding, Pei Shi'an's obsession, Wei Xiyang's obsession, Xin Muyi's obsession, Princess Xiyue's obsession, Pei Yunting's obsession, Xie Mingyuan or Xie Changlin's obsession, Xie Yusong's obsession, Su Jinzhou's obsession, and... Tianshu or Ye Zhao's obsession. For thirty years, because of Tianshu, the grievances and hatreds of several generations have been intertwined. Before Ye Zhao recovered his memory, he said that Tianshu was also a human being, but everyone in Wei State was turning him into a god. Yes, he saved the Wei Kingdom from the fire and water, and everyone worshiped him as a god, but his decision was not perfect - with a wave of his hand, the nine aristocratic families that once favored power were wiped out in a very short period of time, and almost all the family members were killed - the Wei Kingdom was stabilized, but it also left indelible hatred on the survivors. Xie Changlin spent his whole life deceiving everyone. He pretended to be Xie Mingyuan, accepted Tianshu's teachings, and assisted Wei Emperor until Tianshu reappeared. I think maybe the hatred for Tianshu in his heart has changed a bit - if he really hated Tianshu, why didn't he actually kill Pei Shi'an in the end? Maybe it's because Pei Shi'an has been friends with him for many years, but I think maybe it's also because his hatred for Tianshu has changed. Tianshu once said that Xie Mingyuan is the best in the world. Maybe his obsession with him has long turned into a battle with him in terms of IQ - the stake is his life. He can't forget how kind Tianxu was to him, but he can't forget how ruthlessly Tianxu killed his whole family. Love and hate are intertwined, and eventually it becomes such a duel. His understanding of Tianshu made him sure that Tianshu would give up Pei Shi'an to save the people, but he couldn't bear to actually kill Pei Shi'an and hurt Tianshu. That's why Pei Shi'an later told Ye Zhao that Xie Mingyuan was happy or relieved that he had actually deceived him. Another point is, could the methods of private soldiers trained by Xie Mingyuan be based on his past with Tianshu? He beat Tianshu to death, but he was loyal to Tianshu. Pei Shi'an's story line is really more important. He has been in a relationship with Tianshu for a long time, and waiting for Tianshu has become his obsession. When he met Ye Zhao again, who might be Tianshu, he got close and became good friends with him. He was also the first to think that Ye Zhao was Tianshu. I met such amazing people when I was young and I will never forget them in my life. That modern peace knot, that lovesickness knot that looked like it was made wrong, was kept by him until Ye Zhao, who was basically sure to be Tianshu, revealed the "lovesickness knot" to him. The result was that the knot was missing, which was not what he thought. The other person who had no memory even said that it was better to throw it away - who could know Pei Shian's heartache. And then there was the ring - at that time, Ye Zhao personally said that the ring meant love. Pei Shian finally persuaded himself to let go of his obsession, but then he met Xiao Mu, who actually owned the ring. He wore it in the right position, and it made his heart hurt just to look at it. Although I later learned that Tianshu had no intention of giving this ring at that time - although it seemed that Xiao Mu had this intention - I still felt sad for Pei Shi'an. Although he told Wei Xiyang that he had given up, when the still young-looking old friend ran towards the fire with little chance of survival, Pei Shian still couldn't let go of Tianshu who had been with him for almost his whole life. He shouted "Tianshu" in almost despair and tried to rush in his direction. But fortunately, he really waited for his Tianshu. Tianshu's three-day absence may also be the best response to the relationship between the two. That bowl of unpalatable noodles, and the preference that he immediately changed his mind about, Pei Shian, you may not be unaware of it. Finally, there is Tianshu, also known as Ye Zhao. From the beginning, Ye Zhao has been emphasizing that he only wants to be a playboy and an ordinary person. This wish has been throughout. The almost identical appearance to Tianshu dragged him into the deep pit left thirty years ago, and then the increasingly similar similarities to Tianshu that he unintentionally showed pushed him to the bottom of the pit. He had to be the hero again. The later monologue with Pei Shi'an was even more bloody - the system tasks over and over again, the countless bones of the innocent and the guilty - almost drove him crazy, no, maybe already. After becoming a madman, he gradually realized that he should probably be an ordinary person. He wanted to be an ordinary person. I am both happy and sad, because few people describe the physical and mental harm that system tasks cause to taskers. Most system literature is relatively taboo about killing and death, or is relatively indifferent. The missionaries killed countless people without leaving any psychological shadow, and died countless times but seemed to have just slept - this is the patch the author made as a world consciousness. But this is different. Ye Zhao's psychological shadow and the shadow of the sea of blood and corpses brought about by the system mission have a huge impact on him. We have no way of knowing what he did after he went mad, but we can vaguely glimpse a corner of him in the past through the cracks in his present. I am very happy that the characters in this book do not exist for the protagonist - yes, many books have this problem, as if the protagonist comes to this place, the story of this place begins to load. Many plots in this book are buried. It is not said that someone in the story shows some past story, and the protagonist must uncover it - no. Many plots here develop without the protagonist. It's like they actually have their own storyline - rather than revolving around the main character. I believe that Ye Zhao, also known as Tianshu, is a bit popular, but his popularity does not exist in a set world where he is forced to be a millionaire, but because he deserves it. It's hard not to admire what he does in this world, and it's hard not to make people around him like him. It's great to read a book like this in this fast food era where bad writing is everywhere. I think this book will definitely be on my list of unforgettable novels.
Recommended, I really like it, I like this melancholy feeling of being away, I have added it to Bai Yueguang's favorites
He loves him, even though he said he has let go, will he still waver when Ye Bao finally joins them? I really hate Pei and Ye, although they may not have that kind of relationship after that. In the end, they fulfilled their promise together, and I can only say that they have no regrets. Gratitude [poor] [rose]
I always thought that the parrot was a foreshadowing, the incarnation of the system, but it turned out that it was never mentioned later [changed]
