1. It leads to his contemplation and choice of martial arts, family traditions, and personal freedom
In the smoke of the rivers and lakes, twilight gradually fell, and the sky and the earth were vast and lonely. At this moment, Li Mubai, dressed in a white shirt, sat quietly on the vast grassland, staring at the undulating mountains in the distance, with a melancholy expression as if he was deeply looking back on the past time.
He was born into a family of martial arts, and since he was a child, he was instilled by his family to practice diligently and carry forward the family swordsmanship. The elders of the family cared for him very much, and at the same time, they also gave him high expectations, hoping that he would be able to take on the great responsibility of inheriting the family martial arts.
However, although Li Mubai is full of enthusiasm for martial arts, deep down he longs for a free and easy lifestyle. The pressure and expectations of his family made him feel constrained on the path of cultivating martial arts, and he could not get rid of that invisible shackle.
As the years passed, this contradiction intensified in his heart.
Li Mubai recalls his encounter with Jade Jiaolong as a teenager, and that experience has become his precious memories of friendship, martial arts pursuits, and ideals. Yu Jiaolong is also a descendant of a martial arts family, talented and intelligent, but because of her female identity, she is questioned and restricted, and has to learn martial arts under the heavy constraints of the family.
Although they come from different family backgrounds, their shared love for martial arts has led them to develop a deep bond of sharing adversity and hardship, and love has gradually sprouted.
The most unforgettable thing for Li Mubai is the mysterious and thought-provoking widow woman - Baolian Lantern. She went incognito, just to pursue a sincere love that can be sincere with others, and this unwavering pursuit of freedom and true self inspired Li Mubai's endless yearning for personal value.
The encounters and contradictions of these three young people made the young and vigorous Li Mubai begin to reflect on the conflict between personal ideals and traditional concepts, and thus embarked on a spiritual path of seeking self-growth.
Second, tell the story of Jade Jiaolong
Born into a family with a long history of martial arts, Yu Jiaolong has been practicing martial arts under the strict teaching of his father since he was a child. She is extremely talented, and she has shown extraordinary martial arts talents since she was a child, which makes her father have high hopes for her.
However, despite Yu Jiaolong's outstanding martial arts talent, he has never been able to get the attention and recognition of the elders in his family. They stubbornly regarded her as a female streamer, unable to bear the burden of inheriting the great cause of martial arts.
This contempt makes Yu Jiaolong's heart full of contradictions - her identity as a woman has undoubtedly become a huge obstacle to her pursuit of martial arts.
By chance, Yu Jiaolong met Li Mubai, a young talent from the same martial arts family. At that time, Li Mubai was facing the trouble of family pressure, and he was almost crushed by the family's high expectations for him.
The two young people hit it off at first sight, and in the process of practicing martial arts together, they gradually ignited a fiery passion for the ancient art of martial arts, found a soulmate with a common heart, and also created an unforgettable and deep friendship.
As time passed, their friendship quickly sublimated into a deeper emotional bond. However, just as their feelings grew stronger, fate began to play tricks on them mercilessly.
The strife within the family and the competition between the various factions of the martial arts swept like a storm, seriously interfering with their martial arts cultivation path.
Yu Jiaolong was forced to accept the master's strict instructions to devote herself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of martial arts, which she regarded as the ultimate pursuit of life. And Li Mubai had a disagreement with his family because of his higher standards for martial arts, and the ideals of the two who were originally full of enthusiasm began to gradually wear out in the cruel reality of the predicament.
Yu Jiaolong knew Li Mubai's inner pain, and she could feel his extreme desire for freedom. However, she herself is caught in the dilemma of family honor and personal values.
How should she choose between the glory of her family's tradition and her pursuit of personal values? After countless struggles and entanglements, Jade Jiaolong finally decided to embark on a journey to find herself alone, hoping to find her own unique martial arts path.
3. The mystery of the life experience of the Baolian lantern
There is a legend of a mysterious widow called "Baolian Lantern" on the rivers and lakes. She is athletic, but her origin is confusing. What few people know is that Baolian Lantern is just a pseudonym for her, and her real identity is an orphan of a martial arts family.
In her childhood, she experienced the cruel reality of her family's ruin, and the family was shattered overnight, and since then she has faced the wind, frost, rain and snow of life alone, and must hide her true identity in order to survive.
However, Baolian Lantern has a tenacious and courageous character, and his heart burns with an incomparable love for martial arts. She firmly believes that only by relying on superb martial arts can she gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes and no longer be oppressed and enslaved by others.
After years of ups and downs, she not only cultivated her martial arts to the realm of perfection, but also interpreted the identity of "Baolian Lantern" to the fullest.
However, what Bao Lian Lantern desires most in her heart is to be able to be honest with her beloved, and no longer need to hide her true identity. After experiencing many life-and-death struggles, she had deep feelings for the heroic and chivalrous Li Mubai.
This relationship made Pauline Lantern re-examine her past experiences and the necessity of hiding her identity, and began to think about whether she should let go of her pretense for sincere love.
At this moment, Baolian Lantern was unexpectedly involved in the grievances and entanglements between Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong. These two brothers and sisters of the same martial arts master have fallen into many difficulties for various reasons and are facing unprecedented severe challenges.
Fourth, Li Mubai's transformation process
Li Mubai has had a strong interest in martial arts since he was a child, but the heavy shackles imposed by his family have made him deeply afraid and disgusted. This contradictory mentality made it difficult for him to make progress on the path of martial arts cultivation.
Although Li Mubai longed for a free and easy life, as a descendant of his family, he had to bear the pressure and expectations from his elders and struggled to maintain his persistent pursuit of martial arts.
Complex thoughts stirred in his young heart, as if he could not find an outlet for catharsis.
Until one day, Li Mubai met the like-minded Jade Jiaolong, and he finally found the courage and motivation to pursue his inner desire. The two met late, and with mutual encouragement and support, they went hand in hand, temporarily breaking free from the shackles of the family and going out to practice martial arts alone.
During the journey, they are like natural companions, and they are close to each other.
However, under the intervention of the mysterious widow of Baolian Lantern, Li Mubai's feelings for Yu Jiaolong have undergone a subtle change. More precisely, Pauline Lantern's resolute and persistent pursuit of the true meaning of love deeply touched his heart, making him begin to think deeply about his own pursuit of life and the future and its direction.
The bravery, fearlessness, frankness and honesty of the Baolian lantern illuminated Li Mubai's future like a bright light, and made a great change happen in his heart.
At the same time, conflicts within the family and disputes over the views of the gateway are also intensifying, and crises are lurking. Faced with such a predicament, Li Mubai had to say goodbye temporarily in front of Yu Jiaolong, and embarked on a journey to find a breakthrough alone.
During this lonely and challenging spiritual journey, he witnessed the ugly face of various intrigues and power struggles between martial arts families, and gained insight into the nature of arrogance and paranoia, so that he deeply realized the incomparability of personal freedom and the invaluable pursuit of values.
When the turning point came, what Li Mubai gained was not only the pinnacle of martial arts, but more importantly, a wise heart to reshape his inner values. He began to learn to cherish the deep friendship with Jade Jiaolong, and was willing to make unremitting efforts and struggles for the sincerity of the Baolian lantern.
The confusion and uneasiness that once plagued him finally gradually transformed into a firm pursuit of the value of life and the essence of human nature in the process.
Fifth, the interweaving of the fates of the three people
All contradictions and strife originate from the intersection of fates after all. Li Mubai and Yu Jiaolong were originally brothers and sisters in the same sect, and the relationship between them was like brotherhood, and their love for martial arts was also in full swing.
Once upon a time, they met and knew the mysterious character Baolian Lantern. In order to realize her heart's desire, she had no choice but to resort to various means, frequently teasing and challenging Li and Yu.
Therefore, the three of them fell into the whirlpool of grievances and entanglements between the martial arts portals.
However, after a series of life-and-death battles, Baolian Deng's feelings for Li Mubai gradually sublimated into a different kind of deep affection. She longs to exchange her sincerity for the dawn of rebirth.
At the same time, Yu Jiaolong and Li Mubai, who were already brothers and sisters, also quietly bred the seeds of love in their intimate relationship, and their admiration slowly sprouted and grew in their hearts.
All the contradictions and conflicts swept towards them like a storm, reaching the peak moment in a shocking life-and-death struggle! This decisive battle was like a baptism on the battlefield of iron and blood, not only testing their martial arts attainments, but also a firm and painful cruel torture of their inner beliefs and values.
After a lot of hard work, Li Mubai finally developed his own unique martial arts concept; Jade Jiaolong also succeeded in creating the image of a warrior who stands alone; And the Baolian lantern, who has always shown her mysterious identity, also took off the shell of camouflage, lifted the veil, and showed her most authentic side.
It was these hardships and tribulations that allowed the three of them to re-examine and discover their deep belief in self-worth and life's pursuits.
6. The growth process of the three in the process of cultural identity exploration, as well as the fierce collision and deep integration of traditional and modern values
Time flies, and the story of the children of the rivers and lakes is coming to an end. Looking back at the intertwined fates of Li Mubai, Yu Jiaolong, and Baolian Deng, their life trajectories are like a history of the microcosm, vividly reflecting the collision and integration of traditional culture and modern values in individual lives.
Born into a family of martial artists, Li Mubai is supposed to shoulder the responsibility of family inheritance, but he often struggles with the pursuit of personal freedom. After a long and arduous journey, he finally found a way to balance the essence of tradition with modern self-worth.
As a woman, Yu Jiaolong broke through the shackles of gender and achieved the status of an independent warrior, but also questioned and challenged the outdated concepts of family and society.
With fearless courage and sincerity, Baolian Lantern tells a moving story of finding the true self behind the hidden identity, and finally realizes self-redemption and rebirth, and enters a new realm of life.
The story of the three is like a chronicle of the times, faithfully recording the twists and turns of the cultural identity of the people in the martial arts, and also indicating that in the context of the new era, the organic integration of individual independence and free will and the spirit of traditional culture will surely lead the future development direction.
