Chapter 1306: A shot in the air, who is Chu Kuang

As the first chapter-line novel written in ancient vernacular Chinese, "Water Margin" played a crucial role in the development of Celestial Novels.

Take the 120 most widely circulated episodes as an example:

The first seventy chapters of the story lead to each hero one by one with smooth brushwork, and the beginning, inheritance, transformation and reunion seem to be integrated. The appearance of each hero is not based on deliberate introduction to time or place. While narrating the story, the author can also seamlessly connect without leaving any trace.

Until the seventyth chapter of the novel:

The stone tablet of Zhongyi Hall is subject to astronomy, and the heroes of Liangshanbo rank in the rankings.

All the clues in the previous article gather into a line, and all rivers return to the sea, and the grand story line is moved forward from this.

And the Blue Star at this moment.

Readers who are now continuing to buy "Water Margin" and open reading one after another. The first thought that arises in many people's minds is:

This book is very similar to "Journey to the West"!

Of course it is not a similar plot or theme.

It is mainly because "Water Margin" is a narrative of ancient style, just like Journey to the West.

However, "Journey to the West" was originally divided into two versions, and readers can also read the modern version.

Unlike "Water Margin" which only has an ancient-style narrative version, some awkward and unpopular sentences have been replaced by the system with ways that everyone can understand.

Read more, the readers will feel more profound:

This book and Journey to the West do have many different meanings in terms of content and structure!

For example, the thirty-six heavenly gangs and seventy-two earthly evil mentioned at the beginning.

Chu Kuang accurately mentioned the same concept in "Journey to the West":

Zhu Bajie's changes are thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, and Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations belong to the Earth Demon.

Reflecting the saying that the 108 demon kings of "Water Margin" begins, it is difficult not to make people have various associations and even reverie.

Is this understandable?

Is Chu Kuang’s ambition for this book a miracle that replicates Journey to the West?

Aware of this, many readers' reading mentality has changed, from simple spiritual enjoyment to the idea of ​​carefully exploring while reading books.

Under such inquiry, the content of the story did not disappoint readers.

When Lutijie punched Zhenguanxi, the story was drawn out, and it also inspired the readers' passion!

Gradually, some people realized the intention of Chu Kuang’s old thief:

The opening chapter of Taiwei Hong let go of 108 demon stars, which should be the biggest foreshadowing of the whole book?

Which one is the corresponding Demon Lord and Demon Star in the sky?

What role will Gao Qiu, Taiwei Gao, who has risen to the top because of Cuju?

These answers are unknown, but the plot continues with readers' relish reading. Those familiar stories from the people of the Celestial Empire also exudes the fragrance of words in this world.

Making a big fuss in Mount Wutai!

Making a big fuss in Taohua Village!

Burning the earthen jar temple!

Pull upside down the weeping willows!

Lu Zhishen was free and lawless all the way, and the people who watched were full of enthusiasm and joy!

at the same time.

Lin Chong was also drawn out of the story line of the wine and meat monk.

He accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall and was named a coach of an 800,000 imperial guards, but he was defeated by a playboy's simple frame-up.

Who is Taiwei Gao?

A glance shows the whole leopard, and a leaf shows the late autumn.

The story has no trace of its beginning, ending and turning. The plot is completed in one go, and the characters are connected together to advance. The fate of each character unknowingly captures the readers' minds.

Good book!

People who realize this have become deeply trapped in it and have become readers who forget to eat and sleep.

And the fastest reader has seen "Lin Chong goes to Liangshan on a snowy night".

...

If you don’t dare to say that you can digest the content for a million words in a day or two, at least you will have no problem reading it.

However, the book's actual takeoff is still the next day.

Starry Sky Online.

A large number of readers who have read the complete text sing praises!

The old thief Chu Kuang once again became Teacher Chu Kuang in the hymn!

"Congratulations to Teacher Chu Jian, I finally created a work that can be compared with "Journey to the West". The same ancient style narrative and the same aftertaste, both are masterpieces!"

"Teacher Chu Kuang is mighty and domineering!"

"Books are indeed rare good books, but those who are called heroes in the books may not be heroes. I think this is Chu Kuang's portrayal of the cruel and bloody reality of ancient society."

"I only think this book has a bad view of its three views?"

"It depends on how you read this book."

"I think it is based on the psychological age of readers. The happiest of those who are younger in their mental age. They will see a martial arts Liangshan; adults can probably read a thick black Liangshan, with too many strange things. I am fifty-eight years old this year, and it is a hell. In order to survive, people have to become ghosts. There is no reincarnation, no liberation and can never get out of hell. So I am often grateful that I can live in the current era, but I cannot forget those eras. Chu Kuang needs to use this method to remind everyone that history is the best lesson."

"I think it's not just a lesson."

"Even in our world, there is a shadow of Water Margin. Only when people become smarter and stronger can they live better. This principle is true at any time and anywhere, because Chu Kuang mentioned this concept in a book, and I deeply agree with it: there will be a world where there are people."

"This is a strange book!"

"I couldn't help but feel sad when I saw the Tiangang and Earth Demons breaking in the Battle of Fang La; when Wu Yonghua Rong hangs himself, she doesn't feel tears wet; when Huizong is unrighteous and allows evil people to sigh, it's another classic Chu Kuang-style ending."

"Almost destroyed."

"I will be punished by killing people and setting fires."

"The metaphor of this story is a bit deep."

"What's strange is that no one makes a fuss. Everyone seems to be used to the old thief's handling method. The old thief has now been successful in pua for our readers."

It's true.

No one criticized the ending of Chu Kuang, but instead caused readers to praise him. It was so strange.

The same is true for this ending.

The characters that aroused everyone's most touching actually mainly focused on two people.

A Song Jiang;

A Lu Zhishen.

The former is the leading brother who cheated on his brother.

The latter is a person widely regarded by readers as the most qualified person to be called a "hero".

"The tides on the Qiantang River have started, and today I know that I am me."

This sentence comes from the 119th chapter of "Water Margin".

A verse by Lu Zhishen before sitting in Liuhe Temple in Hangzhou is:

"I have never cultivated good results in my life, but I only like to kill and set fire. Suddenly, I opened the golden rope and broke the jade lock here. Hey! The tide of the Qiantang River came, and I only realized that I was me today."

At the intersection of life and death.

Lu Zhishen had a great enlightenment.

I don’t know how much the readers have understood, but I only know that many people can’t help but murmur after reading this:

The tides on the Qiantang River came, and today I realized that I was me.

...

Day 3.

Many media have published book reviews about "Water Margin" and have tacitly avoided each other, but the content of the discussion is completely different.

Someone is talking about Song Jiang’s killing of Yan Poxi;

Some people are lamenting that Yang Zhi sells his sword and makes a living;

There is also the story of the Seven Stars Gathering; the story of Wu Yongzhi taking the birthday gift.

Song Jiang met Dai Zong and sneaked into the sea; Li Kui fought against Zhang Shun and met him without fighting.

Like the clip of Wu Song fighting a tiger, it is naturally the focus of discussion.
