I always felt that it was a pity that there was no extra story for The Broken Sword. After rewatching it, I suddenly realized that this is actually the most satisfying ending. But I still feel that I have a lot of regrets, and I want to say them but find it difficult to say them out. I happened to think of them in the past two days and wrote them, "I am right for you." (The following comments may contain spoilers, read at your discretion) About Big Brother and Master. There are many images in the article to refer to the two people's images of each other, such as swords, human moon and Kyushu moon. The passage that surprised me was the one where the senior brother is regarded as a "river", Tsunazune's ethics are regarded as "dams" and "ships", and affection and sight are "reefs". The original text is "In the end, all he did was to respect the teacher and respect the Tao. The four words, written in black and white, were like towering dams, sandwiching him on the agreed-upon river. But he was a big river with hidden undercurrents. The calm river carried the ship named Dao and Li. Admiration and desire were dormant undercurrents. His sight was the rocks in the river. When he could not restrain the love in his eyes, the ship hit the rocks and was shattered to pieces." This passage reminds me of the reunion and first meeting between the two of them, which began on a river in Luofu Mountain. The river was filled with heavy fog. When the boat reached a dead end, Leng Kaishu appeared. It was the first time we met, and it was also the reunion. I always thought that in fact, from the first time we met, it might also be a dream of the senior brother, but the dream was too long, and it covered his entire life. There is sadness, illness, reluctance, and regret in this life, but for Jian Gu, these emotions were originally incomprehensible, but he experienced them in his dream. Ye Changqi has been secretly in love with his master since his previous life. He pursues him with his eyes and dreams. However, everything he does seems to others to be respectful of his master. Ye Changqi himself also thinks that he is respectful of his master. The senior brother is trapped in the shackles of ethics, so he dare not tell his master. The same is true for Leng Kaishu. The master's only transgression may have been to kiss his disciple at night in his previous life. What he kissed was the petals, and what he was exploring was the taste of the flowers, but in fact it was his own feelings that he kissed (homophone for "question"). Like every swordsman, Leng Kaishu didn't understand love, so he had questions about sweetness and bitterness. Finally, he understood that he liked his first disciple, and it was about that time that he began to have inner demons. I was on the wrong side at first. I always felt that Leng Kaishu was too gentle in my memories, with eyes like water and a harmonious attitude toward his disciples. However, when I saw the young master in Tiangongyuan and just after leaving Tiangongyuan, I realized that Leng Kaishu had changed from being aloof to being gentle, and it was not only Ye Changqi who changed, but also Lu Hefeng. The story "The Broken Sword" is not a happy one. In fact, most people probably feel like me that the early stage is not fun at all, and even a little frustrating. But reading the full text is a novel experience, because it is not only the love of the main character, but also the story of the brothers and sisters in the story. It seems that they have spent a long life, and finally parted ways, leaving only melancholy in the end. Why I mention this paragraph is because I think of Zephyr. The character Hefeng is actually the one with the most hidden plots in the novel: three thousand debates, guarding the general's sword for ten years, arguing with Yan Siyu and throwing the poisonous man into the past, getting Ziji from Yan Siyu, going to the Xiao family alone and falling into a nightmare, falling into Xingxuchuan, meeting the young man Leng Kaishu through Xingxuchuan, and taking over Ye Changqi's guarding the growth of Wutong after returning, etc. He has grown from a boy who would call baby when everyone saw him at the beginning. After learning The Great Power of Sword Cultivation, I cried every time because of He Feng when I replayed Broken Sword. He Feng is very lovable, he is very pure, and when everyone is talking about love and pursuing their career, he is focusing on the sword in his palm. When everyone is confused and confused, He Feng is the first to ask Leng Kaishu, "Master, why do I feel that the sword in my palm is not so important when everyone is not around?" (I can't remember the original text, it probably means this.) As usual, it must have been the eldest brother who returned to Xingxuchuan to meet the young master and thus became friends. But the broken sword is not the case. In the broken sword, Xiaoliu and Feng met the young man Leng Kaishu. I was wondering why, and suddenly I thought that from Hefeng's perspective, everyone in the sect is actually "kind". Only Lu Hefeng can justly say "I miss everyone", and only when Hefeng speaks, no one blames him. Anyway, I don't blame He Feng, because I know that he is a swordsman who is dedicated to the sword, but he has a pure heart, so naturally he will not think about "harming" others. Leng Kaishu was the first to come into contact with such pure Lu Hefeng, so he wanted to become the swordsman that the other party expected, so he removed the spy tube to make a sword and went to Kyushu, where he met Ye Changqi. Therefore, the person who changed Master was never just Jian Gu, but also his sixth disciple Lu Hefeng. Zephyr's hidden plot is very cruel, to the point where I wouldn't even dare to read it even if the author wrote a side story, but it is very complete. I thought he didn't need to cut off his hair before, but then I thought about it, and the process of cutting it and re-tying it can be regarded as the process of Zefeng's growth and "the original intention is not changed", so I felt relieved a lot. However, I was really sad when I saw Zefeng lose it. By the way, I would like to mention Wuya. Wuya is a fun-loving person. At first, I thought he was responsible for the jokes in the whole story. But then the breeze disappeared. When I saw his reaction, I became emo and wanted to chat with the author about life. It just shows why such a handsome guy should be injured!! Ah!! Wu Ya and Yan Siyu are a typical comparison. He had a bad childhood, but worked hard to seek redemption, and then met Ye Changqi. The biggest difference between Xu Wuya and Yan Siyu is that he pursues redemption, while Yan Siyu goes all the way to the dark side. From the use of swords, it can be seen that he cares about the people of Luofu Mountain, not the sword in his hand. Let's talk about Master and Senior Brother. In fact, when I was writing a review, I always felt that I wanted to say a lot when mentioning these two people, but as soon as I started writing, I didn't know how to write it. I always felt disappointed. In the ending, Leng Kaishu forged a sword with his own body. The senior brother pursued the master in a dream. I saw someone saying that the master really came back. My preference is to pursue it in a dream, which means that the real master has not come back, so he just forged a sword. But the author said that the broken sword is HE, so that means the master is back. The author has always said that the pace of The Broken Sword was slow in the beginning, but I always felt that it was okay after reading it. At least after reading the whole story, I felt that there was no big problem. However, the author wants to improve it, so go for it. I have always liked the villain Fourth, and I admit that he is really bad, but maybe because I am also a pessimist. When you ask me to look at the past from the perspective of Fourth, my first reaction is to look at the problem from a bad perspective. So when I bring Yan Siyu into the picture, I will also feel that Ye Changqi is "hypocritical" and "pretentious" (but it does not mean that Ye Changqi is really a bad person). From the perspective of the sword bones, you will find that Ye Changqi is a sword cultivator who is truly "who is dedicated to good". You may feel aggrieved, but in fact, righteousness is inherently subject to more constraints, including ethics. This caused the master and senior brother in the previous life to have a crush on each other but never get closer, because they are both righteous sword cultivators, and they are masters and disciples. They stay silent and pursue silently. I analyzed the fourth child before, now fill in the remaining parts. The fourth child also met someone before entering the Xiao family: Yan Xingxue. Yan Siyu was willing to regard himself as Yan Xingxue's replacement for Yu'er who died young, but he never regarded Nightmare Ghost as Yan Xingxue's replacement. From here it can be seen that he is a very twisted character. He clearly knows that people cannot be resurrected after death, but he is also pursuing a way to resurrect at all costs. Yan Siyu is indeed willing to give everything for what he wants, and he can also ask Ye Changqi arrogantly, "How far can you achieve it." Because he is the one who gives everything to do it, so he is qualified to ask this question. But at the same time, he is also crazy enough. This madness comes from Yan Siyu's self-contained concept, which is completely different from Ye Changqi's concept. "One seems like tomorrow, and the other seems like a dense night." As for knowing that he was deceived, I was not surprised at all. I felt that Yan Siyu himself no longer felt the anger and surprise of being deceived. Moreover, I felt that these feelings did not return to his body after he became a monk again. He was just a walking corpse. He had been "dead" since Yan Xingxue's death. He died more than a dozen times in Guixu, repaying the debts of those who died because of him, and was finally killed by Ye Changqi in a nightmare and returned to the East China Sea. "No one is holding him back this time." In fact, if Yan Siyu could feel it, many people really tried to save him in his life, not only Yan Xingxue and Ye Changqi, but Leng Kaishu actually didn't dislike him at the beginning, and the master knew his ending, but he accepted him as a disciple and gave him a sword. But Yan Siyu couldn't feel it, so he was destined to have a tragic ending. If he was just bad, I wouldn't actually like him. There is a weird awkwardness in Yan's bad looks like Yu's. As I said last time, he would give Lu Hefeng a sword, and later this sword helped Lu Hefeng escape from the Xiao family's nightmare. And in Xu Wuya's memories, he once held Xu Wuya in his arms. It can be felt that Yan Siyu hates Ye Changqi, Leng Kaishu, and Wu Qishan, but he actually has no dislike for the other three people in Luofu Mountain, and will even help them at some point. It is precisely because of this complexity that I gradually fell in love with Yan Siyu. When he died, I can only say that he finally got what he wanted. Zhe Jian and several other disciples each got their own ending. I like the story of Fenghuang and Wu Tong very much. Oh, I remembered something I wanted to say, about everyone's sword. Leng Kaishu: The sword will be tilted. In the text, the moon is in the sky and the sky is hanging. Ye Changqi is the sword that drinks the wind. He is the bone of the sword and the spirit of heaven and earth. He should drink the wind and swallow the snow. Phoenix is a long sword with nine rays, and its name is eye-catching. Yan Siyu is Ziji, and the color of Yan Siyu in the article is purple-black. Ji is the extreme, extreme, and it probably also metaphors Yan Siyu's character. Xu Wuya is the protagonist of Cang Hai Yue Long Ting and Qin Zhong Sword. What impressed me deeply is that he is described in the article as "the sea of suffering has no limit". From just one glance, Cang Hai Yue Long Ting can tell that he will end up staying in Xuzhou. Lu Hefeng is a flowing light sword, which is a very interesting point. I think Hefeng's sword should have a simpler sword name, but he is called "Liu Guang". I searched for the sentence "The flowing light temporarily comes out and returns to the earth, making me young without even a moment." This brings us back to the last paragraph of this article. I always thought it was said by Ye Changqi. Then I thought about it. The article has already explained that a broken sword is never just a broken sword bone, but also a group portrait. So this paragraph is probably said from the perspective of all members. Thinking about this, it suddenly became clear. Everyone is pursuing what they want in their hearts in this life. Even if the moon is about to fall, the sword is broken, and the road is bumpy, their hearts, intentions, and ways will never repent, and they will still be the same as before! After thinking about it, I realized that this sentence is indeed applicable to most people. Even Liang Yunsheng once said, "What you do in this life follows your heart, what you love in this life is what you want in your heart, you have no regrets and you are even willing to give everything you have." This is exactly what the last paragraph is!
It seems that the power of Luofu Mountain has become stronger, but it seems that the brothers and sisters are actually being forced to go their separate ways (*?????)
I feel that the fourth child sometimes has a self-destructive tendency. He feeds doves with flesh and blood. When he is stabbed by his senior brother, he often doesn't resist. Although it may be because he can't be beaten + he won't die anyway, in this chapter he directly told his senior brother to let him kill him. The fourth child's mental state was worrying and he felt like he was going crazy, but something kept him alive. In fact, sometimes it feels like he regrets it in his heart, but like Wuya said, the road has become dark.
Wipe! Rub it hard! (Senior brother, you are so proactive!
I understand the truth, can you please not kill my little phoenix?
I feel that Yan Siyu has this problem. He has a strong sense of unworthiness and is too pessimistic and desperate. He can only see the dark side of a thing but not the bright side. . . He never believed or felt that others cared about him
After reading it, I went back to read, "I have this heart, this intention, this way, and I will never regret it." I found that the regrets had been filled in the past. Kaishu lived up to his calculations and found the possibility of leaving the people around Ye Changqi in the sandbox of fate. In the end, it seems that everyone is lost, but it seems not, like a nightmare, like the reincarnation of the four seasons, waiting until time brings back the vitality of spring. Just like a beautiful dream, the beauty of the past can support the living people to face the future no matter what the future holds.
Keep diving and share some of my questions and feelings about the entanglement between senior brother and Yan Siyu (containing spoilers): So far, in the order in which they met. The eldest brother was born with a sword bone, and the fourth brother was born with a Taoist bone. Both of them were supposed to be geniuses in cultivation. According to the original text, "it takes no effort to become a great master of Kyushu." However, their fates were completely different: when the eldest brother was born, he met the master who was out to slay demons, so he worshiped in Luofu Mountain. The fourth child seems to have been wandering until he was picked up by the Xiao family in Zhuxian Town, Yongzhou to prevent disaster. The second stage: Jiangu appeared in Yongzhou, and Yongzhou Jianzong opened the Heaven and Earth Return Formation, attracting Senior Brother Jiangu to Jianzong, but as a result, the spiritual power of the fourth Daogu was accidentally sucked away. The fourth child was always in tatters (?), And the Xiao family did not discover that he was carrying the Daogu. The third stage: The exquisite phoenix on the jade platform appears on the stage, and the fairy music is gifted to Jiuzhou. The phoenix initially appeared because the master went to the demon clan to find someone, and the senior brother and Ye Jiancheng played music and danced. As a result, the fourth child was affected and his Taoist bones were exposed, and he was pulled out by the Xiao family. The senior brother and his team arrived in Yongzhou just in time to deal with the monsters after Fengxing Jiubu, and by the way, they rescued the fourth child and brought him to the Medicine Sect. The fourth stage: becoming a disciple of the Medicine Sect. In fact, you can see how several people got entangled here. Due to his childhood experiences, the fourth child had a paranoid personality and was already in a critical state when he was recovering from his injuries. In fact, it was the senior brother who forcefully pulled him back. However, from the perspective of the fourth child, he felt that the senior brother was "deliberately showing off that he has a sword bone", "fake mercy", saving him for the reputation of Mount Luofu, etc. The most obvious thing is that in Chapter 72, the fourth child thinks: He has always wanted to die, but the senior brother insisted on saving him, saving a person who should not live in the first place. He felt that there was something wrong with Ye Changqi himself. Including Phoenix, he wants to throw himself to death, so shouldn't I hate him as it should be? The fifth stage: Getting along in Luofu Mountain. The author didn't write much about this section. There are only a few sentences at the moment. It should be considered a relatively peaceful time. The representative should be the section in Chapter 17. The sixth stage: breaking the sword, Yan Siyu broke out, forced the senior brother to death, and asked for the sword bone. Back to the beginning of the first chapter, in this chapter, the fourth child said that he had diverted the Phoenix into the secret realm. When Fenghuang left him behind in the Medicine Sect, the senior brother held him back. Master has always known that only one of them, Jian Gu and Dao Gu, can live, but at this time, he has selfish motives and may be biased to protect Chang Qi. Therefore, in the eyes of Lao Si, Leng Kaishu is actually "sanctimonious and not an impartial Jian Zun at all." Lao Si's hatred of these three people is actually traceable. But actually I think he should also hate one person: Yami Cheng. When Ye Jiancheng and his senior brother attracted the phoenix, I don't know if the fourth child knew about it, but since Ye Jiancheng was later elected as the leader of the Yunding Immortal Palace because he was famous for attracting phoenixes, then I tentatively think that he knew about it. Thinking about it this way, there is actually a reason why Nightmare Ghost Qu Yiqiu went to get Ye Jiancheng's coffin. (After all, Qu Yiqiu seems to hate men who cheat on their feelings) The seventh stage: The fourth child was hunted for six years and entered various sects to obtain famous weapons. The fourth child became a guest of the Sword Sect. Read the original text and even went to Yuncheng Immortal Palace in Yunding, but was rejected by Yejian City. Then the sixth stage of speculation is established. The eighth stage: The eldest brother is resurrected, and the fourth child stops his "obscene growth and starts causing trouble." The first time he met his senior brother was in the human world. He stole a famous weapon from the ghost master in the human world, and then ran to Tianmen Canyon to release Xiang Liu, in order to blackmail other sects into contributing famous weapons to the painting formation. The fourth child appeared for the first time at this time. He was really disgusting and perverted. But then his life experience was slowly revealed, and I felt it was quite subtle. If it weren't for the fact that the senior brother and the master were an official match, this boy would be directly the CP setting of the senior senior brother in the book (...) Then there are two points that impressed me deeply during this period: 1. The fourth child fought with Lu Hefeng, and Hefeng threw the poisonous man into the past. Regarding Zefeng accidentally throwing the poisonous man into the past, this is cause and effect. I didn't understand why hair was cut off at first, but then I looked it up and found that according to ancient people, cutting off hair was considered to be beheading, which was a pretty severe punishment. But there is another angle. After they have cultivated immortality and left the mortal world, they can no longer use "the body and skin to receive it from their parents". They have repaid their parents' kindness, so I think they can actually continue to send it out. I don't know if I will write about Zefeng in the future. I mentioned before that he will be the next guardian of Xingxuchuan. It gives me a feeling that something will happen sooner or later. If something doesn't happen here, something will happen next time. It just depends on how long it takes for the knife to be handed over. 2. The fourth child came to give Ziji to Hefeng. So awkward, he is really awkward. Sometimes I feel that if the fourth child had directly worshiped in Luofu Mountain when he was a child and was not taken away by the Xiao family, maybe he would really become another dazzling power. I always feel that he still has a little kindness, but he always expresses it in a very extreme way. Stage 9: My personal feeling is that it is chapter 113, the title is regret. I don't know whether this "regret" refers to the fourth child or the senior brother. What is more obvious is that in this chapter, the senior brother said to him, "I regret saving him and holding him back in the Medicine Sect." However, the fourth child's reaction was not to stop the two of them and left directly. I can't describe this change, but there is a feeling of satisfaction that the fourth child actually knew that he didn't deserve to live, and forced the senior brother to say this. He had been waiting for Ye Changqi to say this for a long time. "Elder brother is no longer as anxious to hold him back as he was back then, but has completely given up on him." Well, by the way, the battle-damaged fourth child is a bit astringent. Such a character who insists on having his own way is so crazy to criticize. It should be considered as a tie-in to all the confrontations up to Chapter 114. I look forward to his death. I just found out that the author has made an update. This time he should explain Lao Si's past clearly. Yan Xingxue, but she didn't appear later. She wouldn't be turned into a nightmare by the fourth child, right? And I heard the author mentioned an easter egg, so I directly??? The order of arrival of the skiers at Tianmen Mountain is: Second Senior Brother arrived first, then Lu Hefeng, Xu Wuya, then Luofu Mountain represented by Liu Yuanbai, and then Senior Senior Brother The author said this is the order of her swordsmanship Me:???? I've been watching the author's journey from publishing, to signing contracts, and now it's almost finished (?). What is it like for online writers now? Everyone is struggling, and no one is not struggling. So I understand that you said there is an adaptation period, but I still hope you can adjust yourself and continue writing. In fact, everything is mainly about writing, come on.

Damn it, no couple except Changqi and Master had time to get married...
