Chapter 404 Happy Chinese New Year Tracing the Origin, I'm Back!
Chapter 404: Tracing the Origin (Happy New Year, I’m back!)
Without anyone disturbing him, the old blind man continued singing until the next morning.
Tang Zhao also didn't expect that this piece of music was actually in a continuous version. It was divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. The first part tells how the protagonist accidentally climbed up from a cloud to Yunzhong City, visited the city, and met a fairy. Chapter 2
The second book tells the bloody love story between him and the fairy, with repeated pulls, misunderstandings, confessions, and finally marriage. The third book takes a sudden turn, telling the story of the fairy being kidnapped by an inexplicable monster, sealed in a coffin, and about to sink into the depths of the sea of clouds, and then the protagonist
Go rescue her story.
This song is the same as the novel "Yunmeng Xiandu". Although the routines are all clichéd and there are many inconsistencies, the setting is unexpectedly full and real. Moreover, the song is indeed more real than the novel.
In the novel, this fairy city in the clouds has no name, and is always called Fairy City, Fairy City. But in the song, this fairy city has a name, and it is clearly called "Tongtian Baiyujing".
When Tang Zhao heard this name, he was excited and had a thought: This name was either real, or if it was made up, it must not have been made up by the arranger himself. There should be other origins that he just used.
In addition, the settings are also much richer and more detailed.
For example, in the original book, the fairy city is described in one place in the east and one in the west. It does not form a system. It has the feeling that the author writes wherever he thinks. Moreover, some descriptions are detailed and lifelike, while others are only mentioned in one stroke or even inexplicable.
Lost the writing.
However, Xianziqu systematically presents "Five Immortal Towers, Twelve Scenes" and seventeen fairy scenes. Each fairy scene not only has a setting, but also a direction. Follow the protagonist and you can even draw a believable map.
Come.
The protagonist went to the fairy city. First he took a casual tour on his own, and then met a fairy at the 'Qiong Tower'. He followed the fairy around to visit the fairyland. Each scenery was described in detail, each with its own characteristics, some magnificent and some beautiful.
Spectacular. There are even immortals in some fairy scenes. Each of these immortals has unique settings and different temperaments, just like living people.
The protagonist has lived in the fairy city for two years, and has varying degrees of interaction with these immortals, either close or distant, with grudges and grudges. This part of the plot is also very vivid. Each of the immortals on the clouds seems to be real, and their words and deeds have their own characteristics.
It's different, it doesn't feel like a tool.
Tang Zhao understood. This was almost the way he met Mr. Chen. You never know what your lonely, weak and mysterious neighbor next door will teach you.
Tang Zhao interjected and asked: "Why are you asking these questions? Sure enough, your surname is Xu, what happened to your surname Xu? You said...Xu Congsheng?"
Not to mention that the old blind man was startled, even Meng Huazhou looked at him strangely - Why are you so bossy? I don't even have real feelings for you, but you have real feelings for me? No wonder you asked me to accompany you to listen to music. How dare you?
Do you want to hear it yourself?
The old blind man wasn't too afraid of him, and patiently explained: "It's really gone. The three books I learned when I was a child ended here. If you don't like it, I will compile another one for you. But how long will it take for me?
It takes me a month to think of some words.”
At first, Tang Zhao was not in the mood to listen to the story because the lyrics were too watery and he had to keep an eye on Meng Huazhou. But as Meng Huazhou became more honest and the story got better, the various settings were full and realistic.
, he still inevitably listened.
The old blind man had almost forgotten this job, but now he sang it again, which brought back a lot of memories, and said: "To tell you the truth, this job is my first lesson. It is my first lesson."
I learned it from my master. He lives next door to my house. He is an old, lonely man with no children. He only knows how to sing and live on the little savings he saved on the spot. Because I go to his house to play a lot, he looks at me.
He still had the qualifications, so he opened the door for me. I happened to have a lot of children in my family, and my parents also wanted me to learn how to cook, so they asked me to be his apprentice."
Yes, he listened.
Wait... isn't it even scarier that such a powerful person is so young?
Then, there is only one truth...
Such rich details and vivid characters split the story into two parts. In one part, the plot of heroes and beauties is very procedural and cliché, but in the other part, the daily descriptions are real, believable, warm and beautiful, and make people yearn for it.
He glanced at the depressed Tang Zhao, but hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask the old blind man something, was he afraid that he might offend the angry swordsman and be split in half with a sword?
Tang Zhao prepared himself mentally, but noticed that Meng Huazhou was hesitant to speak, and said: "It's already this time, why are you hesitating? If you still have anything to say, ask quickly. The owner of the room will come back soon and there will be no time."
The old blind man was very embarrassed and said: "When the master died, the little old man was only ten years old. He only remembered learning skills. I really don't remember the master's life experience. We businessmen don't care how much we got angry when we were young and how much we earned.
How much does it cost? It must be miserable when you get old and have no property or children. The teacher didn’t tell me, and I didn’t ask.”
Tang Zhao sighed and said: "Forget it, the story you are making up is not that story. It seems that this is a tragedy. I hate the abuse of the master the most, and I will continue to abuse him to the end. The first cool article is just to disgust me later?"
Tang Zhao suddenly realized, so their ancestor is really Meng Yun?
Wait, didn't Meng Yun change his name from Xu Congsheng? How can the same protagonist have two descendants with different surnames?
Could it be that although the framework of this book is the same, it is actually the similar experiences of two different people? They both went to Fairy City, and then recorded their own stories in different carriers?
But it doesn't seem right.
When the string was plucked for the last time, Tang Zhao was the first to shout.
When Tang Zhao heard this, he really wanted to flip the table.
Unexpectedly, Xianziqu turned out to be pure. The fairy seemed to have been sealed forever. The immortals on the cloud died and scattered one after another. Most of the fairy scene collapsed, and the fairy city became a dead place. It was really tragic.
Meng Huazhou continued to ask: "What is your teacher's name? Where is he now?"
The old blind man rolled his eyes and recalled, "His surname is Xu... His surname is high, but he is virtuous. He passed away when I was ten years old. He had no family after his death, and I sent him as a gift. There is no ancestral grave, so I found it."
Buried in a wild field."
"Isn't it?" Tang Zhao was surprised, "Is it true?"
"No, this is the end? No one can save the fairy? She will sleep forever? Is this reasonable? There will be no next book? In the next book, change the protagonist to save her! Even if it has an open ending."
Of course, Tang Zhao instinctively didn't think the story was very good, he just thought it was abnormal. But it doesn't matter if it's bloody, it's attractive. Isn't the reason why the old routine of spilling blood lasts so long because of its wide audience? Tang Zhao's aesthetic also
I'm not a happy-go-lucky person. Ever since I started working with Mr. Chen, I've loved all kinds of hot-blooded novels. Otherwise, I wouldn't have read the novel "Yunmeng Fairy City" in one night.
Although the previous endings of Yunmeng Fairy City were also different, they used the conventional ending where the protagonist finally wakes up from a big dream and is still on the mountain top. It gives people the feeling that they have had a dream. Fairy City may or may not exist. If it does,
Those fairies must still be living happily.
As soon as these words came out, Meng Huazhou suddenly turned his head and looked at him.
Meng Huazhou was even more confused. He had seen Tang Zhao look very young before, but because of his aura, he thought he had maintained his appearance well. In fact, he was an older senior. Now it seems that he may not be that old, and he may not be able to catch up with himself.
.
Meng Huazhou nodded and said: "Sure enough, my surname is Xu. Have you heard him talk about his past? Is this song passed down from his family, or did he make it up himself? What experiences did he have when he was young?"
Meng Huazhou didn't understand where Tang Zhao's inexplicable concerns came from - the owner of the house? Wasn't he also a gangster?
The ending is tragic.
Meng Huazhou didn't say it explicitly, but it was his acquiescence.
So what if the gangster comes back? If he is sensible, he is lucky. If he is not sensible, it is nothing more than a surprise, so what does he care?
For Meng Huazhou, who was born in Jingzhe Villa, Tang Zhao's scrupulous temperament was more unbelievable than those demons who kill without blinking an eye. It was a perverse taste.
Tang Zhao compared the two works again and again and felt that they were adapted from the same work. Otherwise, the trends and rhythms would be exactly the same. The male protagonist's fighting skills and vulgar spells were almost the same, and the details were correct. How could it be such a coincidence?
It is worth mentioning that this song is be.
But he got Tang Zhao's permission, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He took the time to ask: "Old...Old sir, who did you learn this Xianzi music from? I asked all the artists in Yuxia County, and they all said no.
I have heard that only some knowledgeable old artists say that you are the only one who can sing. This is not an old-school inheritance of music, where did you learn it from?"
Um……
However, he didn't expect to be stabbed in the back at the end.
In the end, although the protagonist went through all kinds of hardships to defeat the monster, he did not have time to save the fairy. The fairy's coffin still fell into the depths of the sea of clouds and was buried by layers of clouds and mist. Half of the fairy city collapsed, and the other half was blown away by the strong wind.
The corner is at the top of the mountain. I can only watch my lover go away with the wind. I can only cry loudly on the top of the mountain and return to the world. I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
How could it finally collapse?
Moreover, although the last chapter is about heroes and beauties, the level of description is extremely high, the atmosphere is well rendered, the endings of various characters are sad but in line with their characters, and there is a kind of tragedy that is destined to be desolate. In the end, it is described that the fairy city is collapsing little by little.
The scene is even more shocking and has a strong sense of imagery.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "You are too imaginative, aren't you? If your surname is Xu, you are the protagonist Xu Congsheng or a descendant of Xu Congsheng, then your surname is Meng, how come you are not the descendant of Meng Yun, the protagonist of the novel?
Where are the people?”
"Your ancestor accidentally heard this song, fell in love with it, and then adapted it and changed the protagonist to himself? Then he released a book?"
Isn't this... quite shameless behavior?
If it weren't for the fact that neither the song nor the novel was popular at all, let alone sold for money, and there was no such thing as copyright laws these days, Tang Zhao would have suspected that it was malicious plagiarism for profit.
Now it seems that the ancestors of the Meng family may have become obsessed with reading the book, and they did not distinguish between reality and reality, and substituted themselves.
However, judging from the adapted version, the ancestors of the Meng family obviously regarded this story as an illusory world and enjoyed themselves in the book. Why did his descendants go one step further and pursue reality?
Isn’t this level of obsession deeper?
Meng Huazhou did not want to explain and continued to ask: "What relics does your master have? Where is he buried?"
I wish you all a fortune and win the lottery again.
