Chapter 848: Sutra in Oil
In order to make it easier for laymen to understand the theory of relativity, Einstein, the most outstanding time expert in history, famously said: "A man sitting with a beautiful woman for an hour will feel that only one minute has passed; but if he sits on a hot stove, One minute can feel like more than an hour has passed."
Many people tell it as a joke.
What they don't know is that this "beautiful woman and hot stove" metaphor is actually more than just a clever caprice.
In his previous life, Luoyang was rummaging through the old books in the library and accidentally discovered the original style of this metaphor. To his surprise, the passage about beautiful women and hot stoves was actually a short story by Einstein. Summary of the experimental report. This experimental report was published in a discontinued journal. Apparently this great theoretical physicist actually did the experiment before he came up with this in-depth metaphor——
Luoyang felt that this metaphor was inappropriate.
In terms of appearance, there is no doubt that Liu Qin is a beauty. Logically speaking, he should belong to the former category in the analogy of the theory of relativity.
But he felt that Liu Qin was the stove. Sitting on the sofa with Liu Qin and watching TV like this, for a few minutes, he felt that more than an hour had passed, especially when the drama on TV was a complete mess. .
"It's a little hot."
"Yes, take off your clothes."
The conversation pattern between the two seemed to be getting weirder and weirder.
Luoyang stood up gently and said with a smile, "I'm going to work first."
Liu Qin's beautiful eyes flashed with helplessness, "Go and write. I happen to be cooking first. I haven't cooked for a long time. Today I will make tomatoes and scrambled eggs for you to eat."
Luoyang nodded, entered the study room, turned on the computer, and started writing "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword". "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword" will be published on the 15th of next month. Luoyang must complete this book within a month.
The chapter he is writing at the moment is Chapter 21 [Resolve Difficulties and Become the Strongest Six].
[Zong Weixia was greatly surprised to see Zhang Wuji capture and release Yuanyin with ease, but since he was already in the field, how could he show weakness and retreat? He said loudly: "Zeng, you came to force your way, who instigated you?" Zhang Wuji said: "I only hope that the six major sects and the Mingjiao will stop and make peace, and there is no one instigating me." Zong Weixia said: "Humph. , It will be even more difficult for us to make peace with the Demon Cult. This old thief named Yin owes me three seven-injury punches, so let me hit him first." He rolled up his sleeves. Zhang Wuji said: "Senior Zong opens the Seven Injury Fist and closes the Seven Injury Fist. In my opinion, Senior Zong has not yet mastered the Seven Injury Fist. The five elements of the human body are: the heart belongs to fire, the lungs belong to metal, the kidneys belong to water, and the spleen belongs to water. Earth and liver belong to wood, plus the two qi of yin and yang, once you practice the seven injuries, all seven will be injured. With each level of the seven-injury boxing, your own internal organs will be damaged one more layer. In fact, you will hurt yourself first, and then hurt yourself. Injuring the enemy. Fortunately, Senior Zong has not been practicing this boxing for too long, and there is still a cure."]
What is this plot about?
That's right, it was the famous six sects that besieged Guangmingding!
When writing this paragraph, Luoyang himself was quite excited. In his previous life, when it comes to the most outstanding plots written by Jin Yong, the six sects besieging Guangmingding is definitely one of them. Some people even regarded the plot of the six sects besieging Guangmingding as one of them. It is listed as an extremely colorful event in the entire history of martial arts, and its influence is evident——
Shaolin! Emei! Wu-Tang! Kongtong! Huashan! Kunlun!
When Zhang Wuji, whose pseudonym is Zeng Aniu, faced the six major sects alone and blocked all the masters in the world by himself, the momentum of one man being in charge and ten thousand men unable to stop was absolutely shocking, a bit similar to the West Although individual heroism in blockbusters and Hollywood popcorn movies is often criticized by the audience, its box office competitiveness remains consistent. This just shows that the audience itself is an extremely hypocritical group. They feel that it has no connotation, but at the same time they watch it with gusto.
Want to gain both box office and word-of-mouth success?
This is an almost impossible goal.
In a sense, the plot of the six major factions besieging Guangmingding has achieved a relatively perfect balance between exhilaration and connotation. This is its most valuable feature.
Luoyang writes like a spirit.
"Burn my broken body with the blazing holy fire. What joy is there in life? Death is so painful. I do good and eliminate evil, only because of the light. Joy and sorrow all return to the dust. Have mercy on me, the world, there are so many sorrows! Have mercy on me, the world, there are so many sorrows! "
When the Mingjiao heroes chanted this sentence, Luoyang seemed to have seen the battles at Guangmingding.
It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Luoyang finished writing the plot of Chapters 21 and 22. All the six sects dispersed. Zhang Wuji succeeded in pretending and successfully became the leader of the Ming Cult. After finishing writing, Luoyang discovered The Shuimuzhijia pp group kept flashing. When I opened it, I saw that it was Xiang Tao and others who were urging the manuscript in a fancy way.
"Please update!"
"Lord, you're not strong enough!"
"Speed, I want to see classmate Zeng Aniu!"
"Boss, boss, have you finished writing Chapter 21? I'll wait until the flowers have withered?"
Ever since Luoyang posted unreleased plots to the Shuimuzhijia group last time, everyone has fallen in love with the feeling of being able to predict the plot in advance. Every day, they urge Luoyang to update early and post the plots to the group.
"Hold on."
Luoyang typed two words and sent Chapter 21 and 22 of "Eternal Dragon Sword" to the group. The latest news soon turned into a system prompt: [Luoyang uploaded a group document].
Everyone stopped talking.
Apparently he was reading again.
Among them, Xiang Tao was the most impatient.
In fact, since the serialization of "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber", the content of the first ten episodes has been tepid. It was not until the tenth episode, when Zhang Cuishan and his wife were forced to commit suicide, that readers finally discussed the plot on a large scale. Some voices in the industry appeared, saying that "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber", as the third part of the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" trilogy, has begun to decline in quality.
Xiang Tao was also secretly worried.
However, what made Xiang Tao relieved was that Zhang Wuji learned the complete version of "Nine Yang Magic Skill" in the belly of a white ape in a desperate place, and his strength suddenly increased. Although this plot is extremely bloody, it must be said that if the foreshadowing is well laid, even if the plot is a little bloody, it is completely acceptable.
Yes, the foreshadowing has been laid long ago!
Many people think that Zhang Wuji fell off a cliff, so he got the "Nine Yang Manual".
On the surface, this is indeed the case, but as a die-hard reader of Luoyang, when Xiang Tao saw this plot, he knew that the monkey with the Nine Yang Magic Skill hidden in its belly did not appear for no reason -
The foreshadowing was laid at the beginning of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
Master Jueyuan learned the Nine Yang Manual and recited the scripture aloud before his death.
Zhang Sanfeng, Guo Xiang and Master Wu Se of Shaolin each remembered a part of it, so the martial arts of Wudang, Emei and Shaolin made great progress after a few years, and they have been competing against each other for decades, which can be said to be famous in the martial arts world!
This scripture is indeed the Nine Yang Manual.
As for why it was hidden in the ape's belly, no one in the world knew it at that time.
It turns out that more than ninety years ago, Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi stole this scripture from the Sutra Library of Shaolin Temple. They were chased by Master Jueyuan to the top of Huashan Mountain. Seeing that they could not escape, there happened to be a blue ape next to them. The two of them came up with a plan, and they cut open the ape's belly and hid the scripture inside.
Later, Jueyuan, Zhang Sanfeng, Yang Guo and others searched for Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi, but did not find the scripture, so they let them take the ape down the mountain.
This is the last plot of "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Xiang Tao remembered it clearly, so the way to "Nine Yang Magic" became a major mystery in the martial arts world for nearly a hundred years.
Later, Xiaoxiangzi and Yin Kexi took the blue ape and went to the Western Regions. The two of them had their own fears, fearing that the other party would learn the martial arts in the scripture first and kill themselves. They restrained each other and dared not take out the scripture from the ape's belly. Finally, they came to the Jingshen Peak of Kunlun Mountain. Yin and Xiao fought against each other and both suffered losses.
This supreme method of practicing internal power remained in the belly of the ape from then on.
Xiaoxiangzi's martial arts were slightly better than Yin Kexi's, but because he punched Master Jueyuan at the top of Huashan Mountain, he was seriously injured due to the recoil force, and was killed first when fighting with Yin Kexi later.
Yin Kexi met He Zudao, one of the "Three Saints of Kunlun", when he was dying.
He felt a little uneasy, so he asked him to go to Shaolin Temple to tell Master Jueyuan that the scripture was in the belly of this ape.
But when he spoke, he was confused and his speech was unclear. He said "the scripture is in the monkey", but He Zudao heard it as the so-called "the scripture is in the oil".
He Zudao was a good man who kept his promise. As expected, he went to the Central Plains and told Master Jueyuan the words "the scripture is in the oil". Jueyuan could not understand the meaning, needless to say, but it caused a huge storm, and the martial arts world has since added Wudang and Emei sects.
As for the ape, it was very lucky.
It ate peaches in Kunlun Mountain and got the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After more than ninety years, it was still jumping and flying. Its long black hair turned white and it became a white ape. However, the scripture was hidden in its stomach, pressing on its intestines and stomach, which made it have stomachache from time to time. The boils on its stomach also came and went. Until today, Zhang Wuji took it out. For the white ape, it was really relieved of a big worry.
There are people in the world who are a hundred times smarter than Zhang Wuji, but they can't guess all these twists and turns.
Xiang Tao naturally didn't expect that the whole story was so tortuous. So although the routine of Zhang Wuji falling off the cliff and getting the magic skill can be called bloody, it was written with this story, which was perfect!
"Maybe this is the difference between a great god and a failure..."
When writing this kind of plot, most authors don't remember what foreshadowing they buried.
However, Luoyang had already planted the foreshadowing of "the scripture is in the oil" at the beginning of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and even at the end of "The Return of the Condor Heroes". This is the power of a master's writing. They can always achieve self-consistency in the plot that should have been bloody, making the originally bloody plot full of charm.
