Chapter 390 Four Women Compete for the Female Lead? !
It is already late at night.
In Xiazhou, a large number of readers are reading by candlelight at night, unwilling to give up.
Originally, there was still a chance to stop reading at the beginning of the 21st and 22nd chapters of the third volume, but now that the third volume is almost over, it is impossible for readers to stop reading. There is not much left, so they have to finish reading it in one go, right?
What is more interesting is that before Master Miejue died, she made Zhou Zhiruo swear a poisonous oath not to get close to Zhang Wuji.
How cruel this poisonous oath is, you can see what Master Miejue said in the original text.
【“If I marry him, my parents will die in the ground, and their bodies will not rest in peace; my master, Nun Miejue, will become a fierce ghost, making me restless all my life; if I give birth to children with him, the men will be slaves for generations, and the women will be prostitutes for generations.”】
…
“I’m so cruel! This old woman is too cruel!”
“In this case, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji are doomed, right?”
“We have Zhao Min anyway.”
“And what about Xiao Zhao? Since we have different paths, we can’t make plans together. I’m spoiling you?”
The readers were immediately unhappy and grumbled.
But the secrets of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre revealed by Nun Miejue attracted the readers’ attention again.
It turned out that when Guo Jing and Huang Rong saw that the Yuan army was powerful and Xiangyang could not be defended, they died for their country and passed down Guo Jing’s unique skills. The most precious part of this is that all readers are familiar with it.
Hidden in the Heaven Sword is a copy of the Nine Yin Manual and a copy of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Hidden in the Dragon Slaying Saber is the essence of military tactics that can drive out the Tartars.
Then Guo Xiang passed it down and hid it in the sword. Only when the sword and the sword are together can the secret book be taken out.
As for the essence of military tactics, it is naturally ignored by thousands of readers at this stage, but readers in later generations are very familiar with it. It is called "Wu Mu's Testament". In fact, the name Wu Mu's Testament only appeared in the 39th chapter, the second to last chapter.
"So that's it..."
"It's such a simple secret, damn, I didn't think of it!"
"I should have thought of it."
Many readers knocked their heads and said in annoyance.
Yes, Guo Xiang is the daughter of Guo Jing and Huang Rong. The secrets of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber must be related to Guo Jing and Huang Rong.
...
Speaking of the crisis of the six sects, Zhang Wuji once again saved everyone from the water and fire, but Master Miejue was unwilling to accept the kindness of the Ming Cult and died.
When the six sects returned, the main plot of the story began to revolve around the search for the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Zhao Min, Jinhua Granny, Yin Li'er, Zhiruo and others, and Zhang Wuji have gone to the Lingshe Island in the south to find the trace of Xie Xun and started a fight on the island.
If the current perspective can be given to many readers in Xiazhou, you can see that many readers in Xiazhou have silly smiles on their faces!
Why is there such a smile? It is because in the 29th chapter, four women were in the same boat.
Zhang Wuji had a good dream. He dreamed that he married Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo. Yin Li, that is, Zhu'er, also became beautiful and married himself with Xiao Zhao.
Most of the readers who read martial arts novels are male readers. This instantly made them smile with empathy.
This is an ancient background, not a modern one. It is not impossible to have three wives and four concubines.
Moreover, Zhang Wuji's personality is very different from Guo Jing and Yang Guo. Although they are all surrounded by beauties, Guo Jing has a one-sided love for Huang Rong, and Yang Guo also has only Xiaolongnu in his eyes.
But Zhang Wuji just thought that all four girls were good, and he was reluctant to part with them, and wanted to give each girl a warm home.
"Bah!"
"Scumbag!"
Some female readers spat angrily.
From a modern perspective, it is normal for female readers to find it difficult to understand and accept the three wives and four concubines in male-oriented novels.
However, Yin Li's confession in the following nonsense made all readers serious.
["I will serve you and care for you for my whole life, and be my master. Don't think I am ugly. As long as you like, I would rather disperse all my martial arts..."]
...
Yin Li is Zhang Wuji's first fiancée. She has a good impression among readers and is a person who can compete with Zhao Min.
Speaking of Yin Li, also known as Zhu'er, Lin Qiu remembers that it seems to have been changed to Ah Zhu in the TV series in the previous life?
Anyway, Yin Li is Zhang Wuji's cousin. When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she was beautiful and slender. But when she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she became ugly, dark-faced, and her skin was swollen and bumpy because of practicing the vicious martial arts "Dry Spider Ten Thousand Poison Hands".
Of course, this was also beautified in the TV series in the previous life.
Not only in the previous life, but also in this world, in all TV series, those "disfigured" beauties have nothing to do with "disfigurement" at all. They just put some "embellishments" on a delicate face, that's all.
But the disfigurement in the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is real disfigurement.
Back then, Zhu'er asked Zhang Wuji in a trembling voice whether he was willing to marry her and was ridiculed. Zhang Wuji agreed, and this is the origin of the so-called fiancée.
Many emotions are intertwined, and coupled with her own disfigurement, Zhu'er's love for Zhang Wuji is quite humble, and the readers are heartbroken.
"It would be nice if Zhu'er could restore her appearance..."
Many readers thought so.
To be honest, although the appearance is a bit superficial, after all, couples need to live together day and night. If the appearance is like this, it will be difficult to live together.
Zhang Wuji is surrounded by beauties like Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and even Xiao Zhao. It is not reasonable for him to choose Zhu'er.
But in the dream, Zhu'er kept mumbling that if Zhang Wuji died, she would be a widow for the rest of his life. Such words moved Zhang Wuji and the audience in front of the book.
It was at this time that Zhang Wuji looked back at Xiao Zhao, only to see Xiao Zhao also looking at him infatuatedly.
…
“What a sin!!”
“Guo Jing, Yang Guo has been surrounded by many beauties, but he has never been so entangled. This has a lot to do with his personality.”
“Maybe Zhang Wuji himself doesn’t know who he really likes…”
“Xiao Zhao, oooo! My Xiao Zhao!”
“Support Zhao Min!”
“Support Xiao Zhao!”
Zhang Wuji’s personality is not very likable, which can be seen from his previous series of actions.
However, among the four women, the choices and hesitations faced by Zhang Wuji can be clearly felt by readers.
This is the level of the novel "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
This is a novel with a completely different style from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Three of the four women have actually been introduced in detail before, and the fourth woman, Xiao Zhao, will make readers very entangled!
"Damn, not to mention Zhang Wuji, even I feel so conflicted..."
"That's right, Xiao Zhao is so good..."
"Isn't Zhao Min good? Only Zhao Min can accompany Zhang Wuji, right?"
"Zhou Zhiruo has sworn a poisonous oath, so she should withdraw from the competition for the female lead, right?"
"Zhu Er Party UPUP!"
"I choose Xiao Zhao!!"
Speaking of this Xiao Zhao, she is one of Mr. Jin's favorite characters. She originally disguised herself as an ugly face to sneak into Guangmingding and steal the Qiankun Da Neng Yi heart method, but she only lost her heart.
Because Zhang Wuji protected her in every possible way, Xiao Zhao felt grateful and fell in love with Zhang Wuji. She was willing to be his maid without regrets and served Zhang Wuji.
When nothing happened, she accompanied Zhang Wuji with understanding, gentle and considerate. When something happened, she could also stand up and command the overall situation. Her personality was not as simple as Xiaolongnu. It can even be said that she was scheming and had always hidden her true nature.
But this scheming is not a derogatory term, because Xiao Zhao's nature is not bad either, she is quite kind.
Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min, Zhu'er, Xiao Zhao.
Four women.
Who wouldn't be confused? !
By the end of the third volume, readers didn't know who the heroine of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was who accompanied Zhang Wuji in the end.
This kind of novel is really unique.
And the four women fighting for the heroine naturally divided into four factions, reading in the middle of the night while supporting their favorite female characters!
As for the final ending...
If you ask the audience and readers in the previous life, many of them are also confused.
Because their impression of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is completely based on the TV version.
