Chapter 214 The Truth of Dugu Nine Swords and the Mastermind Behind the Scenes

""Swordsman"?"

Liu Xing opened the novel and found that it was not an ordinary novel, but a script!
The script is an indispensable tool in the filming of film and television dramas, and the performance of actors is based on the script.
The book in front of me is a script adapted from "Swordsman", its text is different from the original novel of "Swordsman", but the plot is very close to "Swordsman".

The total number of words in the original novel of "Swordsman" is more than 100 million words, but the word count of this "Swordsman" script is only 30 words, about two-thirds less in length.

This is mainly because the script is mainly performed for supporting actors, and its language is more concise than that of the novel. A large number of words that are not used in the performance will be deleted, and only the main dialogue will be retained.

Due to the lack of about 70 words in the text, the script of "Swordsman" and the original novel of "Swordsman" naturally cannot be compared.

Liu Xing scanned it with his book eye.

[Book Title] "Swordsman" (screenplay)

【Type】Script novel

【Grade】One star
[Matching degree] 21.4%
"The quality of the script is indeed much worse than the original."

"Swordsman" is Jin Yong's later work, and its narrative has reached the state of perfection and perfection.

Jin Yong's previous works such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and "Dragon Ba Bu" are all five-star works. If there is no accident, "Swordsman" should also reach the five-star level.

But the script of "Swordsman" in front of him is only one star, and the quality is several grades worse than the original.

Seeing this, Liu Xing finally confirmed one thing - the original novel of "Swordsman" has already appeared in this world!

Someone has seen the original work of "Swordsman", and then used the original work to write the script of "Swordsman".

"Where did this script come from?" Liu Xing asked.
The bald old man didn't answer. He looked at Liu Xing and said, "It seems that you are the legendary shadow man!"

Liu Xing asked back, "How can I see that?"

The bald old man smiled and said: "Your body is as fast as lightning, and you look like a ghost. As far as I know, there are only two people in the world who have such skills. One is Fengmanlou from the Feng family, and the other is Hei, who has sprung up recently. Shadowman. Feng Manlou just escaped from the dungeon, he can't have leisure time to wander here. Therefore, you can only be a shadowman."

Liu Xing said: "You seem to know the shadow man very well?"

"Of course, as long as there are people with good stories, I must understand them." Lin Shishi said, "The old lady calls 'Story Forest', and this title is not for nothing."

"Story Forest?" Liu Xing said, "Your title is not very famous, and I have never heard of it."
The bald old man smiled and said, "It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it. When the old man was famous all over the world, you probably hadn't been born yet."

After chatting for a few words, Liu Xing learned that the name of this bald old man was Lin Shishi.

Lin Shishi liked listening to stories since he was a child, so he named himself "Story".

Lin Shi's greatest hobby in his life is to collect all the anecdotes and anecdotes in the world. Because the number of stories he collected is too large, he has gained the reputation of "Story Forest".

"In recent decades, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the rivers and lakes are calm. There are fewer and fewer good stories." The bald old man Lin Shishi said with a smile, "The story of the shadow man is one of the most amazing stories in China in the past 40 years. The shadow man , the old man’s greatest hobby in life is collecting stories, we are destined to meet here today, I wonder if I’m lucky enough to hear your stories?”

After a pause, Lin Shishi added, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. Tell me a story, and I'll tell you a story."

Liu Xing confessed: "I may not be interested in your story."

Lin Shishi said: "I can tell you a story about Fengmanlou first. If you are not interested after listening, I will never force you."

Liu Xing said again: "If the story is not exciting enough, I don't appreciate it."

"Of course."
Lin Shishi smiled, picked up a pot of brewed tea on the table, took a sip, took a while, and began to tell the story, "If you want to tell the story of Feng Manlou, you have to start with Feng Manlou's ancestor Feng Chaoyang About 700 years ago, there was a civil servant named Feng Chaoyang in the imperial palace, who was a master of reading skills. He invented a strange reading technique called sunflower reading technique. It is said that this reading technique can achieve the unity of human and book. realm."

"After inventing sunflower reading, Feng Zhaoyang is going to try out the novels for ecstasy. The name of the novel he is going to be engrossed in is "Swordsman". It is said that this "Swordsman" is a masterpiece, and it was obtained by Feng Chaoyang by accident. "

"In order to get more absorbed in "Swordsman", Feng Chaoyang bought an island and built the island into the martial arts world described in "Swordsman". In "Swordsman", there are Fuwei Escort, Huashan, Sun Moon God Sect, Songshan, Shaolin Temple, Wudang, Meizhuang and other place names, Feng Chaoyang also built these places on the island."

"In this way, this island becomes a miniature version of the world of "Swordsman". In order to make this world of "Swordsman" more realistic, Feng Zhaoyang also invited many actors to enter the island, and let these actors play the role of "Swordsman". Various roles in "Swordsman": Some actors played Lin Pingzhi of Fuwei Escort, some actors played Yue Buqun of Huashan School, some actors played Zuo Lengchan of Songshan School, and some actors played Sun and Moon The Eastern Invincibility of the Divine Cult... In order to allow these actors to perform better, Feng Chaoyang also specially wrote a script for "Swordsman."

Speaking of this, Lin Shishi pointed to the script in Liu Xing's hand and introduced, "The script of "Swordsman" was written by Feng Chaoyang more than 700 years ago. Of course, this is not the original manuscript, but a copy."

Liu Xing suddenly realized, no wonder there is Fuwei Bookstore's Meizhuang dungeon on the island, and asked: "Feng Chaoyang transformed the island into the world of "Swordsman", just for the sake of fascination?"

"That's right. The reading environment has a major impact on the reading effect." Lin Shi continued, "The more similar the island's environment is to the world of "Swordsman", the better the effect of reading "Swordsman" will be. The higher the success rate."

"Feng Chaoyang reads "Swordsman" every day on the island, and the surrounding environment enhances his sense of substitution, making him enter a state of ecstasy, as if he really entered the world of "Swordsman."

"In order to make the island environment closer to the world of "Swordsman", Feng Chaoyang spent a lot of money to renovate the island. In order to realize this huge construction project, he even secretly embezzled money from the palace."
"However, Feng Chaoyang still underestimated the difficulty of immersion. He read "Swordsman" on the island for 50 years, and he was unable to immerse himself until his death, leaving only a pile of reading materials."

"After Feng Chaoyang's death, his son and grandson continued to read "Swordsman" and passed it on from generation to generation. It took a total of more than 200 years of tossing. Unfortunately, they still failed to get absorbed."

"Fortunately, after more than 200 years of development, this island has become more and more similar to the world of "Swordsman". There is a Mount Tai on the east of the island, Mount Hua on the west, Mount Heng on the south, and Mount Heng on the north. There is Songshan Mountain in the middle, and the Five Sacred Sword Sect in "Swordsman" has been built. In addition, there are Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Fuwei Escort...even the Black Wood Cliff of the Sun Moon God Sect has been built .”

"At the same time, there are more and more actors on the island, and they are used to performing according to the script of "Swordsman" every day. Over time, they even feel that they are living in the world of "Swordsman."

"It can be said that this island may be one of the earliest story cities in China."

"As the island became more and more perfect, the effect of Feng's family reading "Swordsman" became better and better. After more than 200 years, a rare reading wizard named Feng Xiaoyun finally appeared in Feng's family. Xiao Yun spent 70 years in seclusion in the Huashan Pai Siguo Cliff on the island, and finally almost reached the highest level of human-book integration."

Liu Xing frowned slightly: "Has Feng Xiaoyun's ecstasy succeeded?"

"Whether Feng Xiaoyun succeeded in ecstasy is unknown now." Lin Shishi introduced, "Because after Feng Xiaoyun retreated for 70 years, people immediately went crazy and lost their minds. But what is surprising is that after going crazy After that, Feng Xiaoyun's martial arts soared to the sky, and whenever he went crazy, he would display a set of shocking swordsmanship."

"The Feng family suspected that this set of swordsmanship might be the "Nine Swords of Dugu" in "Swordsman", so they recorded the moves of Feng Xiaoyun's swordsmanship one by one. Because Feng Xiaoyun's sword moves are too Hurry up, many of Jian Zhaofeng's family members can't see clearly, so they can only memorize the outline. After three months of continuous recording, they finally pieced together a complete set of sword techniques, and named it "Dugu Nine Swords."

"Shortly after, stories about Feng Xiaoyun spread on the island, and everyone on the island believed that the Feng family's sunflower reading skills could really be enchanted. The temptation to be enchanted was too strong, so everyone on the island Actors all began to compete for the Feng family's book of reading skills, "Sunflower Book."

"Some of these actors come from Huashan Mountain, some from Songshan Mountain, and some from Qingcheng Mountain... They killed each other for "Sunflower Treasure", and the plot in "Swordsman" became reality on the island. Among them, in Fuwei Escort The actor in charge of the performance was even more tragically wiped out, all 37 members of the family were killed, and only a young man surnamed Lin survived."

Speaking of this, Lin Shishi sighed softly, and said, "This man surnamed Lin is my ancestor. He was an actor, and he was only in charge of performing the plot of Fuwei Escort on the island. Such a tragedy happened on the island. People from various factions on the island broke into Feng's house with weapons, trying to take away the "Sunflower Treasure". Unfortunately, all these people died under Feng Xiaoyun's sword."

"At that time, Feng Xiaoyun was completely insane. He would kill anyone he saw, even the members of the Feng family. His swordsmanship was so superb that no one could stop him. If it wasn't for Feng Xiaoyun's age, , physically exhausted, and later died of a sudden heart attack, the residents of the entire island may not survive."

"After this tragedy, the Feng family realized the horror of the "Sunflower Treasure". Although it can make people learn superior martial arts, it can make people lose their minds. Therefore, the Feng family buried the "Sunflower Treasure" in the West Lake in the Meizhuang dungeon to prevent similar tragedies from happening."

"Since then, the island has returned to calm, and the Feng family lived an isolated life on the island. At the same time, the descendants of the Feng family began to practice the "Nine Swords of Dugu" left by Feng Xiaoyun back then, and passed it down from generation to generation."

"Because this set of swordsmanship is too exquisite, most people in the Feng family can only learn a little bit. Until later, a martial arts wizard appeared in the Feng family. He practiced "Dugu Nine Swords" to the highest level. The talented scholar is the 37th generation successor of the Feng family——Fengmanlou."

"Feng Manlou is extremely talented. He is the first person in the Feng family to practice swordsmanship to the extreme. It can be said to be unprecedented, and he can be called the 'Sword God'."

"More than 60 years ago, I once saw Feng Manlou performing "Dugu Nine Swords". That scene was really shocking and weeping ghosts and gods. I will never forget it in my life."

At this point, a strange look flashed across Lin Shi's eyebrows, he picked up the tea, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
Liu Xing asked: "According to what you said, the forbidden-book area was originally the territory of the Feng family, and dozens of generations of the Feng family have lived on the island. Then, why did this island become a forbidden-book area? Why were you imprisoned?"

Lin Shishi put down his teacup, and said again: "Feng Manlou is not only fond of practicing swords, but also an old bookworm. He likes to read novels very much. He is very addicted to books, and he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't read novels for a day. Feng Manlou began to read some banned books. He collected a large number of banned books and stored them on the island. Later, these banned books were discovered by the police. There are many illegal organizations that banned books in China. The police suspected Fengmanlou is the boss behind these illegal organizations, so Fengmanlou was arrested."

"With Feng Manlou's swordsmanship, the police have no ability to arrest him. It's just that Feng Manlou trusted a wrong friend, was plotted against by a most trusted friend, was poisoned, and was finally arrested by the police."

"Feng Manlou thought that he would spend a few years in prison at most, but he never expected that this cell would last for more than 40 years. It was not until later that he realized that the reason why he was imprisoned was not because he had banned books, But someone wanted to get his family's "Sunflower Treasure". Because Feng Manlou was unwilling to tell the whereabouts of "Sunflower Treasure", he was always imprisoned in the dungeon on the island. Because the island contained a large number of forbidden books, later It was also listed as a forbidden-book area by the Reading League."

Liu Xing wondered: "Who betrayed Feng Manlou, and who wanted to get the "Sunflower Treasure"?"

"It shouldn't be difficult to guess, right?" Lin Shishi reminded, "At that time, almost all the residents on the island were killed by Feng Xiaoyun, and no one outside knew about the "Sunflower Treasure". Except for the Feng family, Only one person knows about the "Sunflower Treasure"."

Liu Xing was slightly startled: "Who?"

Lin Shishi smiled and said, "Of course they are descendants of the Lin family. You forgot that there was a man from Lin who survived on the island."

"A descendant of the Lin family?" Liu Xing caught some clues and looked at Lin Shishi, "You are the one who wants to get the "Sunflower Treasure"?"

Lin Shishi smiled...
