Many martial arts fans know that Gu Long wrote a copy of "Blood Parrot", but they do not know that Gu Long once planned to write a set of "Six Notes of Horror".
The so-called "Six Notes of Horror" are 6 martial arts novels, including "Blood Parrot", which are different in style from ordinary martial arts, and the focus is on the word "horror".
Gu Long himself said: "Wanting to write the Six Notes of Horror is an impulse, a very inexplicable impulse... For only the horror that emanates from the depths of the soul is the real terror. That kind of artistic conception is definitely not something that can be expressed by the light and blood shadow of the sword. That's the real horror. ”
Obviously, Gu Long has placed great ideals on this "Six Notes of Horror" plan, and even an important practice of his "seeking novelty and seeking change" in martial arts novels.
Unfortunately, Gu Long did not really practice his idea of "Six Notes of Horror", not to mention six books, Gu Long did not even finish a book.
Now we all think of "Blood Parrot" as a work of Gu Long, but in fact, this book is a collaborative work of Gu Long and Yellow Eagle.
Even in a sense, Yellow Eagle is more like the real author of this "Blood Parrot". Because this novel has a total of 30 chapters, and starting from the content of chapter 5, the follow-up content is all ghostwritten by Huang Ying.
Martial arts fans familiar with Gu Long know that Gu Long is talented, but sometimes he is not serious enough about his novels, and often betrays his pen name to let some martial arts authors ghostwriters be "gunners".
This phenomenon, not only Gulong, is simply everywhere in the context of Taiwanese martial arts.
After all, Gu Long was the first to ghostwrite martial arts novels for Wolong Sheng and others, and he himself continued this bad habit of finding someone to ghostwrite.
In other words, although Gu Long put forward the great idea of "Six Notes of Horror", the real idea was only a story of "Blood Parrot", and it can even be said that the first half of the story of "Blood Parrot".
When many martial arts fans watch "Blood Parrot", they actually feel that it is not written by others, and they have always thought that the whole book was written by Gu Long alone.
This also shows the strength of the ghostwriter Huang Ying. Huang Ying did have some of his own, his later "Legend of Shen Shengyi" and "Heavenly Silkworm Change" are well-known works, and the TV drama version is even more famous.
In addition, the famous zombie film also has a great relationship with Yellow Eagle. It is said that Lin Zhengying brought fire to zombie films, and the earliest zombie film screenwriter was Huang Ying.
Martial arts fans familiar with Huang Ying know that Huang Ying has many novels copied or borrowed from Japanese mystery novels. But overall, his own creativity is also good.
Huang Ying himself has a relatively high level of traditional literary attainment and a good foundation in poetry, so he can write beautiful and poetic words. At the same time, Huang Yi is good at imitating the style of the ancient dragon, and many places make people feel the feeling of "ancient dragon regeneration".
Since Huang Ying's ghostwriting "Blood Parrot" for Gu Long was well received, the idea of "Six Notes of Horror" proposed by Gu Long has all been handed over to Huang Ying.
In addition to "Blood Parrot", the other 5 films are "Vampire Moth", "Black Lizard", "Pink Skull", "Crystal Man" and "Wingless Bat".
Although these novels are nominally the works of "Gu Long", in fact they are all fake Gu Long, because the authors are all Yellow Eagles.
I am a real swimmer, a martial arts fan who has been watching martial arts for 22 years. Follow me and take a look at the contents of Six Horrors.
In terms of quality, the most exciting of the Six Notes of Horror is of course "Blood Parrot".
"Blood Parrot" fictionalizes a legend of "100,000 gods and demons and 100,000 blood", using the "blood parrot" to satisfy people's three wishes to create suspense, so that readers think that there is really a supernatural phenomenon.
The male protagonist Wang Feng himself does not have many days to live, so he is not afraid of death and is involved in this strange dream.
The various characters in the story appear on the scene, which really gives people a feeling of horror and horror. In fact, everything is mysterious, and the core point is just for the treasure of the Taiping King.
To put it bluntly, this is a reasoning story that uses bizarre legends to cover up the truth. The biggest highlight is not the reasoning, but the shaping of the suspenseful atmosphere.
The descriptions in the book are extremely rendered, the atmosphere is strange, the characters are strange, and people are impressive. Although the male protagonist does not dare to say love, he is very affectionate and righteous, loyal to iron hatred, and calm and persistent in dealing with the truth, which is quite attractive.
In general, "Blood Parrot" is a medium-level work even if it is placed in gulong's portfolio, which is much better than novels such as "Seven Star Dragon King".
Then let's take a look at a few other novels in Horror Six. These martial arts novels have one thing in common, that is, they start with mysterious things, pretend to be demons and ghosts, and then reveal the secret layer by layer, and use reasoning to find out the truth.
Start with Vampire Moth. The beginning of the novel is very attractive, vividly describing a story of "moths", and the suspense is quite attractive.
Cui Beihai discovered that his wife Yi Zhujun was a "moth spirit" change, and it was not long before Cui Beihai mysteriously disappeared.
The protagonist Chang Huhua receives a secret letter from Cui Beihai and goes to investigate the truth, step by step reasoning, stripping away the cocoon, and finding out the truth behind the strangeness.
In the end, the truth came out, and the real maker of the "vampire moth" was Cui Beihai himself.
Cui Beihai deliberately created a bizarre vampire moth case in order to swallow the jewels alone, to avoid the enemy family, and to get rid of the lover who betrayed his wife Yi Zhujun and Yi Zhujun.
After the truth of the novel is revealed, it feels that this story is more common. But I have to say that the atmosphere description at the beginning of the novel is really good, the suspense is in place, the atmosphere is invincible, people feel thrilled, and there is really a feeling of "horror".
Then look at Wingless Bats. The wingless bat, which had died, suddenly reappeared in the jianghu and kidnapped Lei Feng, the daughter of the chief dart head of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and married Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qiqi is involved and is forced to find out the truth, but learns that the wingless bat is not actually dead, but has become a madman. And the real black hand behind the scenes uses the identity of the wingless bat to commit crimes...
Let's look at "Black Lizard". The protagonist, Long Fei, discovers that the lizard monster is driving a carriage with a coffin, and the coffin contains an undressed wooden statue, which looks exactly like Long Fei's wife who has not passed through the door... The dragon flew to his fiancée's house, and strange things happened one by one.
And all the stories are because of the grudges of the previous generation, and in the end, the older generation of people die in various ways, but Long Fei and his fiancée can be reunited.
Let's look at Crystal Man. It was rumored that the crystal had become a human being, and had also killed many martial arts celebrities, and the jianghu was in chaos in an instant. The protagonist, Long Fei, is involved in it, and gradually discovers that the Crystal Man is actually a deliberately cultivated killer by the villain.
The suspense of this novel is mainly reflected in the way the Crystal Man kills people, and the depiction of the scene where fireflies fly in from the Crystal Population.
At the same time, the novel involves the Heavenly Emperor and other world-class masters, and also involves some settings of Gu Long's "Legend of the Great Banner Hero" "Biluo Fu Zhongren".
Let's look at "Pink Skull" again. The protagonist Xiao Qi, is deeply liked by the girl, and then the pink skeleton of the legend is "Sister Yan Wang", who looks at Xiao Qi, and announces that as long as it is a woman who likes Xiao Qi, she will be seduced. Then, one by one, the girls really died inexplicably...
This book also tells the story under the guise of ghosts and gods, and the suspense atmosphere is very good, which makes people creepy to read. Some of the plots in the book are very cinematic and impressive.
Overall, the quality of this set of "Horror Six" is at a medium level, which is still worth watching. Moreover, these novels are relatively short and convenient to read.
In terms of story excitement, of course, "Blood Parrot" is the most impressive. After all, it was Gu Long's creativity, after all, the atmosphere of "100,000 Gods and Demons and 100,000 Blood" was too attractive.
And I personally like "Vampire Moth" and "Black Lizard" these two parts, I think the novel, whether it is the writing or the story, is quite wonderful.
Finally, I also slightly regret Huang Ying, the author who ghostwrote for Gu Long. Although Huang Ying is very talented, he is not very well-known. Even if many people know about the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation and the great hero Shen Shengyi, they don't know the author Huang Ying, which really makes people feel sorry.
