In 2005, some Gulong fans went to the hospital to meet Gulong's eldest disciple, Ding Qing, and saw that the teacher's spirit was quite good, and he asked this question.
Are the seven weapons written? The teacher said: Finished writing! (I would like to say that everyone has questioned things for so many years, and you want to send me away with a word.....)
I went on to say: Didn't the Seven Weapons only write five? "Immortal Sword", "Peacock Plume", "Jasper Knife", "Amorous Ring", "Overlord Gun".
The teacher said: The sixth part is "Parting Hook" The teacher said: The seventh part is "Hero Without Tears" (I am more confused, the parting hook is acceptable, and the hero without tears can be used as a weapon?). Are it tears? Or the Tear Stain Sword? The teacher continued: Although the Parting Hook and the fifth weapon, the Overlord Gun, were completed for a long time, there was nothing wrong with the sixth weapon.
The teacher went on to say that the seventh weapon is the "one-bite box", which is the chest similar to 007. But the title of the book is "A Box" is very strange, so it has a more beautiful name, which is "Heroes Without Tears". I ask: Why doesn't the end of the last two weapons have a summary of the content like the first five?
After writing "Overlord Gun", I wrote "Parting Hook" after a period of time, so I did not deliberately explain the last two parts and take into account the relevance of the first five parts, perhaps because of this, "Seven Weapons" has two less statements. In fact, in the later period, they opened a lot of drafts and were busy with other things, so they did not deliberately explain the last two parts and the relationship between the first five parts, perhaps because of this, the seven weapons had two or one less. Therefore, adding the unrelated "Seven Killers" to the end, or pulling "Angry Pony (Fist)" into it, is not the right approach.
There is no doubt that "Parting Hook" is six of the seven weapons, and this story includes two important things in common with the other 5 types: there is a weapon that contains human and spiritual powers, set in the blue dragon society. And "Fist" does not have the background setting of the Green Dragon Society that the other 6 films have, so it is inappropriate to mix the seventh of "Parting Hook" and "Fist" as the sixth; of course, it is not appropriate to take "Fist" as the seventh, the first 5 parts are arranged according to the creation time, so the sixth is reasonable, and the creation time of "Fist" is earlier than "Parting Hook" for more than 3 years as the seventh.
The seventh weapon should be the narrative "Hero Without Tears", "Parting Hook" was serialized from June 16 to September 3, 1978, and "Hero Without Tears" began serialization on October 1, which was next to each other! Of course, Heroes Without Tears contains only one of two important things in common: there is a weapon that contains human and spiritual power, but there is no Green Dragon Society setting! The story of "Hero Without Tears" is not far from the time of "Parting Hook", the book mentions that Di Qinglin had praised Butterfly Dance's legs when he was not dead, and Butterfly Dance is still a big girl, but the background of the story is that the Big Dart Bureau and the Lion Hall are such a big organizational struggle, the Green Dragon Society does not appear to participate in it is unreasonable, can only guess that the Green Dragon Society has automatically died out due to what emergencies before!
Gu Long's seven weapons should be to stand on the opposite side of the seven deadly sins to interpret humanity in his eyes. Among the seven weapons of The Ancient Dragon, the synthesis of various arguments and my own experience can be understood as:
Jasper Knife: Interpreted as a kind of sincerity, that is, what everyone thinks of as luck and honesty.
Immortal Sword: Everyone agrees that it is a smile.
Amorous ring: The interpretation is hatred, and the truth behind hatred, the truth.
Overlord Gun: Considered to be righteous qi, gun, in the shijia weapon spectrum is a symbol of loyalty and faithfulness, such as Shi Zai's Yue family gun, as well as Yang Zaixing's Yang family hui horse gun; of course, there is also a single-riding savior's double-gun Zhao Zilong.
Parting Hook: Determination and Persistence. There may be hope that parting is for the sake of getting together, and parting is the beginning of another story.
Peacock Plume: Some people mention it more about confidence, self-confidence, but Peacock Plume should contain a sense of responsibility. A person, whether happy or miserable, when he has to live for a responsibility, he lives more painfully, more persistently, but also more confidently than ordinary people.
Seventh: The box, but also gives humans more conjecture, maybe the Heavenly Dao, maybe the awakening.
Arrogance, greed, lasciviousness, jealousy, stinginess, blindness, (just a rough explanation of seven sins here) represent the seven uglinesses of human nature; while sincerity, smile, sincerity, faithfulness, determination, responsibility, hope (unity, sexual enlightenment) represent the seven beauty of human nature. Beauty and ugliness are originally inseparable, and at the same time there is the main body that constitutes human nature, when beauty triumphs over ugliness, we see the hope of human nature, when beauty retreats into the shadow of ugliness, we see only the hopelessness of human nature.
