Chapter 568 Monkey King Monkey King
Chapter 568 Monkey King Monkey King
This woman who wears glasses and is over fifty years old is called Ming Lan.
She is the official person in charge of the Blue Star Fantasy Fiction Management Department of the Literary and Art Association.
Most of the official activities in the field of fantasy novels are hosted by her.
At this time, Minglan opened the first chapter of "Journey to the West".
The title made her raise her eyebrows slightly: "Spiritual Roots Cultivate and Flow Out, Mind and Nature Cultivate Daosheng".
"All living beings look up to benevolence, and all things are invented to be good. If you want to know the merits of good fortune, you must read the biography of Journey to the West."
Journey to the West Shi'e Biography?
This seems to be the ancient version of the name.
And "Journey to the West" is the name of the popular version.
Why two versions?
Minglan continued to read curiously:
"Gai heard that the number of heaven and earth is one hundred and twenty-nine thousand and six hundred years old. One yuan is divided into twelve meetings, Naizi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai There are twelve branches. Each meeting should be 1800 years old. Let’s talk about it in terms of a day: when you are a child, you get yang, and when you are ugly, the rooster crows; Pai; at noon, the sky is in the middle of the day, but it is not in the west; in the evening of Shenshi, the sunset is unitary, and at dusk of Xu, people are settled. For example, in Dashu, if it reaches the end of the Xuhui, the world will be dim and everything will be gone..."
From the first paragraph alone, Ming Lan is very sure:
Ancient version, not suitable for ordinary people.
The reading threshold is too high.
Just Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao and so on, many people don't have a clear concept.
I just know it's a different time.
Not to mention sentences like "For example, in Dashu, if it reaches the end of the Xuhui, the world will be dim and everything will be destroyed".
And when Minglan continued to read, the more she read, the more frightened she became!
The writing techniques of ancient prose and even classical Chinese are all used.
Chu Kuang's attainments in classical literature are so terrifying that more than 90% of fantasy writers can't catch up!
also.
The book also contains a large number of poems.
For example, the description of Huaguoshan Water Curtain Cave:
"There is a place to hide when the wind blows, and shelter when it rains. There is no fear of frost and snow, and the thunder will never be heard."
"The haze always shines, and the auspiciousness is steamed every time. The pine and bamboo are beautiful every year, and the exotic flowers are new every day."
There are many similar verses.
And among these many techniques, the story of Monkey King's birth also emerges before his eyes.
This is a born stone monkey.
He has become the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, but he has a heart of seeking Tao.
He traveled across the ocean, went through many dangers, met Patriarch Bodhi, and entered Fangcun Lingtai Mountain, Slanting Moon Samsung Cave.
"At the beginning of Hongmeng, the origin and no surname were established, and Wukong was required to break the obstinate emptiness."
The Monkey King was named by Bodhi.
Sun! Enlightenment! null!
So far, the first round is over.
Minglan read very slowly, so slow that she almost read it word for word. By the end of the first volume, her eyes were already full of waves.
The opening story is actually quite simple.
But the literary nature is too strong, the content of a single sentence, the choice of words and sentences are extremely particular!
There are a few lines in the poem that make Minglan blow the case away:
"There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and the cold is so cold that you don't know the year!"
"Watching chess and cutting lumber, walking slowly at the mouth of the valley by the clouds. Selling salaries and selling wine, laughing wildly from pottery. Cang path is high in autumn, facing the moon and pillowing pine roots, and dawn is dawn. Recognize the old forest, climb cliffs and cross mountains, hold an ax to break Dry vine."
"..."
Not just literary.
In just one chapter, there are some original Taoist mantras, and even some unoriginal Taoist mantras!
The setting is extremely rigorous!
The world view is very grand!
The lifelike, magnificent and gorgeous epic unfolds from here——
Read on, and keep going.
...
Next to Minglan was a male leader of the Literature and Art Association. This male leader was Chi Rui, the deputy director of the department.
What Chi Rui watched was the popular version of "Journey to the West".
I don't know when, this high and powerful man turned red and trembled slightly!
With the narrative of the text.
In front of his eyes, there seemed to be pictures of arrogance and arrogance...
Sun Wukong took the Poseidon needle!
Going to hell changed the book of life and death!
The four seas and thousands of mountains are all arched, and the nine secluded and ten categories are all eliminated!
The Heavenly Court called for safety, but he made trouble in the Peach Garden, and finally returned to the Heavenly Palace, saying:
together! sky! big! Holy!
Heavenly soldiers and generals besieged Huaguo Mountain, and Monkey King fought against countless immortals and gods.
From the giant spirit god to the king of Tota to the third prince Nezha and even Erlang god...
Even if he was captured in the end, he still broke the gossip furnace and cultivated a pair of piercing eyes!
Popular version, unlike the ancient version.
If the ancient version pays more attention to literariness, then the popular version pays more attention to the description of the scene, whether it is the ability of the gods or the magic weapon, there are detailed descriptions, and the scenes of these battles are even more penetrating!
Here is something to say.
The original version of "Journey to the West" in ancient Chinese, because of too many poems and songs, the description of scenes and plots is actually very weak.
If only the original work of "Journey to the West" is released, it really won't be popular.
But the popular version completely makes up for this deficiency.
Even if you don't talk about literariness, as a novel alone, Monkey King's experience can be called thrilling!
As far as the early stage of the plot is concerned, it is completely invincible flow of monkeys!
Even in online articles, the successive climaxes at the beginning are enough to delight readers!
That's why Monkey King came out of Wuzhishan, which gave countless people such great expectations and shocks!
at this time.
Chi Rui is the reader who was completely blown away!
What Sun Wukong did shocked him greatly, and the description of the plot in the popular version made him fascinated as if he was in the scene——
This monkey is so domineering!
also.
The popular version also retains many features of the original.
For example, famous sentences such as "There is no Jiazi in the mountains and the cold will never know the year" and "The emperor takes turns to come to my house next year" were not castrated because of this.
obviously.
A novel with nearly a million words is not something that everyone can read in a short time.
But you don't need to read the whole novel, just the previous few stories are revealed, and the shock has already covered the entire conference room!
"This novel..."
Ming Lan finally put down the manuscript reluctantly after seeing the part where Monkey King beats the Bone Demon three times.
As a result, when she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse, so that she subconsciously cleared her throat.
"Palace-level work!"
Chi Rui spoke in a low voice, with an unprecedented serious expression.
For a moment, everyone put down the novel.
The conference room fell silent.
Needle drop can be heard.
It wasn't until Ming Lan cleared her throat again that everyone looked at each other and said one after another:
"Chu Kuang is already qualified to sit here and discuss with us who will be the Supreme God of this year."
"This novel is both literary and storytelling. When you compare the two editions, you can look up at the mountains."
"It's not quite a fantasy novel anymore."
"Chu Kuang broke the ceiling of fantasy novels with his own power."
"This novel has the atmosphere of "Prehistoric", but no matter the degree of refinement of the text or the layout of the author, it surpasses that mythical work that has been passed down for so many years."
"This is what the Blue Star myth should look like!"
"The imagination is novel, it goes up to the world, and it is superb. It can be said to have reached the pinnacle. The characters of the main characters are also very distinct, breaking away from the common low-level tastes in fantasy novels. I think that the literary and art association should arrange promotion."
"..."
One after another voices were full of wonder.
After speaking, everyone looked at Minglan.
Minglan smiled wryly: "I dare not comment on this novel lightly. I'll talk about it after reading both versions. But if I want to specifically talk about my feelings about reading this novel, I feel like I'm reading a certain masterpiece by Blue Star."
masterpiece!
Everyone was shocked, but after a little silence, no one in the entire conference room refuted.
This novel contains countless religious knowledge, and the text contains many metaphors. Those present will not fail to see it, so it is easier for them to feel the brilliant atmosphere of this novel...
This Chu crazy.
shock! World! startle! vulgar!
A few digressions before I call it a day: Many people say that Journey to the West won’t be popular now. If it’s the original book, of course it won’t be popular. It’s hard to read, but if it’s released in a form that everyone can accept, it will definitely be popular. Many people who have only watched TV series or cartoons will be attracted. This has already explained a lot of problems. Monkeys are one of the most classic images in our country. During the Olympic voting period, monkeys were used as the voice of image endorsement. The final choice of Fuwa is also because of the meaning of monkeys. Foreigners may not understand it. In addition, Wubai didn’t know who Sun Wukong was when he was a child. I believe you didn’t know monkeys in your previous life. However, Wubai watched the TV and animations of Journey to the West without missing a single episode.
