Some time ago, I happened to revisit Liang Yusheng's martial arts novel "Guangling Sword", and I felt very melancholy after reading it. After all, as the male protagonist, Chen Shixing died tragically in the end, and the end was so miserable, which is indeed embarrassing.
This is one of the few male protagonists of Liang Yusheng who died tragically in a novel, and I used to think that Liang Yusheng's novels were all happy and comic endings. But with the deepening of the understanding of Liang Yusheng's novels, I found that many of Liang Yusheng's novels are very sad, not as happy as they seem on the surface.
Let's take the male protagonist who died tragically in Liang Yusheng's pen, in addition to Chen Shixing, the male protagonist Li Yi in "The Legend of the Empress Qiying" also died tragically in the end and was poisoned by Princess Taiping. In "Flying Phoenix and Hidden Dragon", the actor Meng Zhong also committed suicide in the end. Regarding the tragic deaths of Li Yi and Meng Zhong, it has been written in other articles, so I will not repeat it.
Today we will focus on Chen Shixing, the male protagonist in "Guangling Sword", Chen Shixing is a character with a very tragic fate, his parents died when he was a child, and he lived with his grandfather. Living under the Seven Star Rock in Guilin, although the life is poor, it is also plain and happy. His grandfather is very good at the piano, Chen Shixing has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he was instructed by his grandfather, so his piano skills are also very good.
When the hero Yun Hao made an appointment with Lei Zhenyue, he was besieged by Li Kangtian, Shang Baoshan, Yu Junfeng and others, and his body was highly poisonous. was rescued by Chen Shixing's grandfather, and Chen Shixing's family also got into trouble. Chen Shixing's grandfather died tragically, and Yun Hao also died of his injuries. Under the guidance of Yun Hao, Chen Shixing came to the stone forest and found Zhang Danfeng.
Zhang Danfeng accepted Chen Shixing as a disciple before he died, and gave Chen Shixing the nameless swordsmanship and Xuangong tips that remained in Jianfeng. Chen Shixing cultivated himself in Jianfeng, and after three years, he walked out of the stone forest and roamed the rivers and lakes. started a legendary story in the rivers and lakes, Chen Shixing's character is very kind, and the experience in the rivers and lakes is not very good.
Therefore, although his swordsmanship is very good, when he uses a double sword combination with Yunhu, he is even more rarely opposed. But in the end, he died in the hands of Xiaoxiao, was deceived by Murong Gui, took the fake He Shouwu, the body was highly poisonous, there was no cure, and finally at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, he played a song Guangling San, and the string was broken.
And his wife, Yunhu, originally planned to be martyred. But because she was pregnant, she dispelled the idea. As a close disciple of Zhang Danfeng, Chen Shixing learned the two great masteries left by Zhang Danfeng, why is the martial arts not very strong? First of all, let's talk about the masters in "Guangling Sword", in addition to Zhang Danfeng, the martial arts of Li Kangtian, Yun Hao, Jiupanpo and others are higher than Chen Shixing.
Even Master Miluo, Sikong Kuo, and Liu Shuzhuang have higher martial arts than Chen Shixing, and Chen Shixing is not their opponent when it comes to fighting alone. They can only be defeated if they are combined with Yunhu, and they rely heavily on the combination of two swords. It seems that he can't stand alone, and he lacks the ability to compete with first-class masters after his debut.
Like Jiang Haitian, after his debut in the rivers and lakes, he was able to fight with the Enough Treasure Elephant Mage, and even Tang Jingtian's martial arts were not as good as him. Like Meng Hua, after his debut, he was able to compete with Miao Changfeng, Tang Jiayuan, Jin Zhuliu, Meng Yuanchao and others, and he was not inferior at all. But Chen Shixing's ability is obviously not as good as Jiang Haitian and Meng Hua, why is this?
First of all, Chen Shixing's martial arts foundation is not solid. Chen Shixing was already a 15-year-old boy when he appeared, and he had already missed the golden period of martial arts training at this age. Therefore, Chen Shixing's martial arts foundation is not solid, and before that, he had not learned any martial arts, so it can be said that he was a blank slate.
Secondly, Chen Shixing's martial arts talent is not very high. Ling Weifeng went to the Tianshan Mountain when he was 16 years old, although he was not young, but after going to the Tianshan Mountain, he quickly learned the essence, ten years of learning art, and after going down the Tianshan Mountain, he became second only to the existence of the Zen Master of the Ming Dynasty and the practice of Nishang.
Chen Shixing, but after learning the two stunts, his internal skills have become hot and his swordsmanship has improved, but he has not brought the power of the two stunts to the extreme. Therefore, whenever there is a critical moment, he can only join forces with Yunhu and use two swords.
Again, Chen Shixing is not cultivated by a famous teacher. The guidance of a famous teacher is very important, but if you want to become a first-class master, or even a peerless master, a famous teacher is indispensable. The master who practiced Nishang was Ling Yunfeng, Lu Siniang's master was a one-armed Shenn, and Tang Xiaolan's master was Yi Lanzhu.
Although Chen Shixing had a master, he did not learn any martial arts under Zhang Danfeng, and he did not get any guidance from Zhang Danfeng. Therefore, all martial arts must rely on his own comprehension and pondering, and the natural effect is different when there is a famous teacher to guide and ponder by himself. If Zhang Danfeng can live for half a year longer, I believe that Chen Shixing's martial arts will improve a lot.
Finally, Chen Shixing is still young. Chen Shixing appeared at the age of 15, learned martial arts in Shilin for 3 years, and died at the age of 20 after his debut. Very young in terms of age. It is already very good to have this martial art at such an age, if Chen Shixing can live a little longer, his martial arts will eventually be able to rank among the peerless masters.
It's a pity that he didn't have this opportunity, and was finally poisoned by the fake He Shou Wu and became a tragic figure. Many people are very strange, why Chen Shixing's ending is so miserable? In fact, this is only because Chen Shixing is a tool man, a character written by Liang Yusheng in order to connect with Meng Hua in "Muye Meteor", so his tragedy has long been doomed.
