Wuxia novels used to be beautiful and red all over the sky. But now that martial arts novels have cooled down, there are no readers.
But then again, even if the jianghu is not there, there are still old martial arts fans who miss the happy time of watching martial arts novels.
I'm a real swimmer, a 22-year-old bookworm who's been watching martial arts. Friends who like martial arts, remember to follow me.
Today I talk to you about 3 martial arts novels from the 90s, awaken the martial arts memories in your mind, and sigh that the jianghu is not there! If you still like martial arts novels, you may wish to revisit them.
The first book, Wen Rui'an's "Four Famous Captures of The Kanto".
Wen Ruian is a big man in the martial arts novel industry, and the most bullish martial arts author who is still alive.
Some people praise Wen Ruian as the "Wen" of the five masters of the "Golden Liang Huang Wen" martial arts, while Wen Ruian likes to call himself "Wen Juxia".
But more martial arts fans call Wen Ruian "Wen Ju Pit", because a large number of Wen Ruian's novels dig pits and do not fill them, and there is no ending for so many years.
There are also many Fans of Wen Rui'an who "love and hate", originally a die-hard fan of Wen Rui'an, but turned to the Internet to ridicule Wen Ruian.
Anyway, Wen Ryan was super red in the nineties. Especially the "Four Famous Catches" series, it is really red to purple.
Even at that time, there were impersonations who impersonated "Wen Rui'an" to write a book "Young Ruthless" (this book was later called "Sitting in the World"), which was also a bestseller that year.
"Four Famous Captures of Guandong" is the beginning of the Four Famous Catches series, ruthless, iron-handed, chasing, cold-blooded for the first time, becoming a classic image in the history of martial arts.
The second book, Canglangke", "A Sword and a Peaceful River".
Many people know Canglangke because Canglangke wrote a sequel to Jin Yong's "Dragon Slaughter in the Heavens" "Dragon Frightening Snake Record".
"Dragon Frightening Snake Record" was extremely popular in the 90s, and the sales volume was against the sky, although it was not as good as "Jin Yongxin's" "Nine Yin and Nine Yang", but its popularity was not much worse.
In addition, there are many Jin Yong sequels signed "Canglangke", and old martial arts fans have seen a lot. For example, the sequel to "Tianlong Babu" "Qiankun Residual Dream", the sequel to "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" "Red Tears Xiaoqin"...
In fact, the quality of Canglangke's own original martial arts novels is also very high. At the first Chinese Wuxia Novel Grand Prix, Canglangke's "A Sword and a Peaceful River" won the Bronze Sword Award, which is quite good.
"A Sword and a Peaceful River" tells that a demon leader wants to become the Emperor of Wulin and establishes a force called Huang Longling, and captures the leaders of the various gate sects in the world of Wulin and the masters of the black and white paths to serve as protectors, inspectors and messengers.
Just when the rivers and lakes were in chaos, the male protagonist was born alone and saved the fate of countless jianghu people.
Dugu Qiao carried an ancient sword with pine patterns and a piece of parchment to look for his biological parents, and after learning that the leaders of the various gate sects were missing, he turned to look for the legendary Oriental Hero.
After many twists and turns, DuGuqiao and a group of people went to the Wudi Palace to eradicate the demon head. What is surprising is that this demon head is actually the Great Hero of the East.
DuGuqiao killed the Oriental Hero with parchment and a pine-patterned ancient sword, and this Oriental Hero was actually Du Lonely Tree's biological father...
The framework of this story is somewhat similar to Gu Long's "Lu Xiaofeng's Ghost Mountain Villa", the big villains are invincible, and in the end, the big villains are eliminated by their own children, as if it is a fatalistic tragedy.
All in all, Canglangke's writing is quite good, and this "One Sword and Flat River" was still quite popular in that year, and it is very worth revisiting.
Book 3, Xiong Mu's Skeleton Man.
Xiong Mu's name, I believe only old martial arts fans know. Although Xiong Mu is not known now, in the nineties, Xiong Mu was really quite popular.
Xiong Mu's martial arts novels have a very large number, such as "Moso Bamboo Hero", "Wolf Heart Man", "Huang Zhu", "Love Sword Record", "Skeleton Man", "Heaven and Earth Are Lacking", "Obsessive Love Makes the Lord", "Earth Old Heaven and Heaven" and so on.
This "Skeleton Man" is one of my most impressive. The novel tells the story of the evil faction "Twelve Peaks on Changbai Mountain" who killed the people of Woniu Town and turned Tu Renjie, the son of the town mayor Tu Zhong, into a monster like a skeleton.
The Changbai madman "Dream Haha" rescued Tu Renjie and took Tu Renjie as an apprentice. Tu Renjie learned a good martial art, palming the Chiyang Divine Palm on the left and the Cold Ice Poison Palm on the right, determined to avenge his father and his father and fellow countrymen.
At a birthday feast, Tu Renjie, as a masked man, launched a head-on challenge to the Twelve Peaks Boss, forcing the Boss to flee.
Then, Tu Renjie destroyed the Washing Horse Village, killed the Twelve Peaks Old Sixth, and then destroyed the Old Twelve's "Liu Ren Guan".
To the reader's surprise, Tu Renjie killed the son of the leader of the Tianmen Sect, triggering the pursuit and killing of the Seven Gate Sect of the Jianghu Sect.
It is equivalent to saying that Tu Renjie's enemies not only have the "Twelve Peaks on Changbai Mountain", but also the so-called famous and upright sect, which is simply an enemy of the entire jianghu.
In the end, Tu Renjie fought against all the masters and became a public enemy of the martial forest. Tu Renjie's mother chose to give up her life in order to resolve her son's hatred with the Six Gate Sect.
And Tu Renjie's master Meng haha also told the truth because he could not bear the condemnation of his conscience. It turned out that he had exchanged fake silver for real silver, which caused the Twelve Peaks on Changbai Mountain to retaliate against Woniu Town.
In the end, the twelve peak bosses of Woniu Town were bloodied and apologized for their sins, and the skeleton man Tu Renjie was also buried in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, leaving a tragedy...
This novel is mainly written about "hatred", and the core is the old-fashioned "when is the retribution of injustice", but under the author's narration, this story is particularly moving, especially gripping, so that the readers who read the book at that time were deeply impressed and unforgettable.
