Chapter 269: Tear-Jerking Masterpiece

"Pfft!" Despite the tense atmosphere in front of him, the young man couldn't help laughing. Not only him, but the readers also laughed out loud.

On the previous page, Du Ziyuan used such dark tones and exaggerated lines to render, they thought something scary would come out, but a cute creature popped out, isn't it funny?

"Don't laugh!" the chubby maneki cat roared. However, its funny appearance makes people laugh even more.

Fortunately, the two monsters caught up in time, otherwise its majesty would be gone.

Afterwards, the lucky cat explained to the young man why the monster chased him. Because there is something in his hand that the monsters want very much. It is not Jizhi syrup, but a "Book of Beast Gods".

The book of beast gods contains the names of countless monsters. As long as the holder reads these names, he can control all monsters.

That's right, this story continued by Du Ziyuan is a reference to "Natsume's Book of Friends".

He actually thought of "Natsume" when he saw that the first boss in "The Legend of the Beast" was the nine-tailed demon fox. It is very simple to combine these two stories.

First of all, he set the timeline 1,000 years after the hero of "The Legend of the Beast" ascended. The so-called Book of the Beast is actually a fairy weapon that he refined with his own skills of controlling demons.

The book of beast gods has been passed down from generation to generation, and in the 500th year, a genius appeared among the male protagonist's descendants, and with the book of beast gods, he subdued countless monsters. The name of this genius is "Ring", which corresponds to Natsume Reiko in "Natsume's Book of Friends".

Then this young man chased away by the monster is called Natsume, corresponding to Takashi Natsume. Ling is his grandmother, which can also explain why his surname is Xia instead of "Dongfang" like the protagonist of "The Legend of the Beast".

In Du Ziyuan's setting, due to the unscrupulous ascension of the hero in "The Legend of the Beast", his family declined in less than a hundred years. In Ling's generation, she was even more unaccompanied. Later, she gave birth to a daughter, and the daughter gave birth to a son. This son is the protagonist Natsume in Du Ziyuan's novel.

The beckoning cat is actually the nine-tailed fox in "The Legend of the Beast". The appearance of the beckoning cat is just a deception, and its body is still a majestic big white fox. Du Ziyuan only needs to make some adjustments to overlap Madara in "Natsume's Book of Friends".

In "The Legend of the Beast God", the nine-tailed demon fox did not die, but was beaten back to the infancy mode, and lost his memory, so the male protagonist didn't care about it. Du Ziyuan set 1000 years later so that he would have enough time to practice again. Amnesia can also perfectly explain why the sequel has a different character from the original.

In fact, the most difficult part of combining "Natsume's Book of Friends" and "Beast God" is the setting of monsters. The monsters in "The Legend of the Beast" are ordinary monsters, nothing special, but the monsters in "Natsume's Book of Friends" are invisible to ordinary people. This requires a reasonable explanation, otherwise there will be bugs in many plots.

Du Ziyuan deliberated, and finally added a setting: 1000 years ago, the hero of "The Legend of the Beast" was the most cultivated in the world. Some of the methods of controlling monsters have been passed on.

Those who received his teaching gathered together and established a cultivating sect called "Monster Yuzong". They captured monsters everywhere and enslaved them. Since then, the situation of monsters has become more and more difficult. In order not to be caught, the monsters all use their monster power to cover their bodies, and humans cannot find them unless they are highly skilled.

In this way, the two worldviews are unified.

Although "Natsume's Book of Friends" is a female-oriented manga, the protagonist is a man, and the story is suitable for both men and women. It is recognized as a tear-jerking masterpiece. Thinking about it carefully, there are not many Japanese anime that can achieve the sixth season. This is the strongest evidence of the popularity of "Natsume's Book of Friends".

The number of touches brought by "Natsume" is also countless. Du Ziyuan only drew the first few episodes of the first season, but it is enough to leave a deep impression on people. For example, Lushen, he is a spirit that is enshrined by incense and condensed into entities. In order to accompany his last believer, he rejected the suggestion to go to a large temple, but disappeared with the death of his last believer.

"That's good. I can walk with Hanako. I just watched her all this time, and now I feel like I can finally touch her. Thank you, Natsume, human beings are so cute, past and present."

When Lushen said "Human beings are so cute", even the judges present felt their noses sore. Although the story is plain, it has a kind of magic that moves people.

The scene goes back decades ago, when Lushen greeted Hanako for the first time. Huazi regretted for the rest of her life that she did not accept Lushen's words at that time, but at the end of the story, Du Ziyuan gave her another chance, this time, she finally mustered up the courage.

"It's such a beautiful day today."

"yes."

...

Unknowingly, thousands of pairs of eyes in the field have been soaked with tears.

On the stage, Liang Yuxing was crying with snot and tears: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, but...why is yan'er blind, so she still can't see her Your benefactor, woo woo woo..." He is a big man, crying harder than girls, he is really a sentimental person.

The swallow in his mouth is the last story drawn by Du Ziyuan, which corresponds to the swallow in the sixth episode of the first season of "Xia Mu". The main body is a baby swallow, which died before opening its eyes, so after death it turns into a ghost and cannot see anything. Because it is a ghost, it will not be seen by humans even if it is not blocked by the evil spirit. Only practitioners like Natsume who are born with strong blood can communicate with her.

Yan'er's liveliness made Natsume fall in love with her and regarded her as a friend. For her sake, she even went deep into the group of monsters to snatch for her the treasure that can temporarily transform people.

In the end, Yan'er successfully met her benefactor, but due to the limited function of the treasure, she didn't speak, and she didn't really see him. She just stood beside him quietly, with a happy expression on her face. Smile.

Seeing Yan'er's blindness in Lingguangyu's image, Xia Mu finally couldn't help crying. She likes Natsume and the gentleness of human beings, and Natsume also likes her cheerfulness. I just don't know whether the tears are happy for the fulfillment of her friend's wish, or because she is sad because she has never been able to see the person she met.

The three judges who were supposed to comment were also silent at this time, apparently not recovering from Natsume's story.
