Only because of the sea memory confidant, I believe that the end of the world is close to each other
Who says that the love between Lian Ni and Zhuo Yihang is a tragedy? That should be a fairy tale lover!
Who says Zhuo Yihang is indecisive? That's all because his emotional intelligence is too high!
"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is not the first Liang Yusheng novel I have read, but it is the first Liang Yusheng story I have come into contact with. It was supposed to be in 1985, my first year of junior high school. The school organized us to go to the Great Mine Auditorium to watch the movie, and we were very touched by this poignant and magical martial arts love story. In the closing part, Yu Luocha practiced neon clothes and Zhuo Yihang broke up, rushed to a cave, and drank the spring water with thirst. Ling Chao, who was sitting next to me, who was both a classmate and a cousin, said, "When she drank this water, her hair turned white." I was still doubting the veracity of his words, and Lian Ni Had woken up from his dream, and sure enough, his hair had turned white. Subsequently, she ruthlessly evaded Zhuo Yihang's pursuit and fled away, and the film ended with Zhuo Yihang's bitter cry.
This film is the 1980 Hong Kong version, compared to later film and television dramas, it is still more faithful to the original. This time, after reading the novel, I used it three times to watch the old movie once, which can also be regarded as reliving the memories of my youth. According to legend, the most famous is the version of Zhang Guorong and Lin Qingxia, but I have not seen it. A search from the Internet, there are actually more than a dozen versions of film and television dramas, which shows how this novel is favored, and also fully proves the level and influence of the book. Interestingly, many film and television dramas have greatly changed the original book and arranged a perfect ending for the male and female protagonists to release their former suspicions and good relations, which is very in line with the expectations of the audience.
"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is a novel created by Liang Yusheng in the early stage, but it fully laid the foundation for his martial arts cultivation, reached a very high level, and became one of his masterpieces. The book is 400,000 words, which belongs to the length of Liang Yusheng's best control. It was first serialized in the New Evening News from August 5, 1957 to September 8, 1958.
This book is a historical martial arts novel. So I say this only because the book is completely integrated with history. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the building will fall, the court will be chaotic, and internal and external troubles will be troubled. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were three major suspicious cases in the court, namely the attack case, the red pill case, and the palace transfer case. The novel runs through the three major mysteries of the late Ming Dynasty throughout the book, combining historical events with the rivers and lakes, making the story more intense and intense, full of historical heaviness and realism. Although there is some discrepancy in time, the novel is a novel after all, and it cannot be taken too seriously.
The white-haired witch is a strong, independent woman, she is strong in martial arts, jealous and hateful, upright, can not tolerate half a grain of sand in her eyes, and cannot tolerate half a bit of unevenness in her heart. Although she is called a witch, she is actually a chivalrous woman who acts heroically. On the surface, it is cold and ruthless, but in fact it is kind and affectionate. She has no father and no mother since childhood, and it was the Tianshan swordsman Ling Yunfeng who rescued her from the wolf's den and taught her the world's martial arts. After growing up, he became the king of the mountains and gathered the masses to revolt, and he was a chivalrous guest in the eyes of the people, a hero of the green forest who killed the rich and the poor, a robber in the eyes of the government, and a witch who killed people and overspriced goods. Zhuo Yihang, on the other hand, was the son of an official eunuch and later became the head of the Wudang sect. Zhuo Yihang is a decent disciple, while Lian Ni Pei is an evil sect, originally good and evil are not opposed, but they have achieved a marriage.
And look at the process of their acquaintance, the picture is beautiful, like a dream, reading is like entering the mythical world: "Zhuo Yihang looked around, and suddenly saw that halfway up the mountainside, there was a big hole, the cliff stone at the mouth of the cave, carved with three big characters of the Yellow Dragon Cave, and the bamboo outside the cave was built into a bush, a few ancient pine trees, and a few stone benches." The cave was sheltered from the rain, so I stepped inside. After entering the cave, the thunder outside continued continuously, and the heavy rain was already pouring down. The cave is quite deep, Zhuo Yi sailed to the hinterland, suddenly his eyes lit up, and on the stone bench in the cave, there was a young girl of a wonderful age, cheating flowers and winning snow. Seeing that her begonia spring sleep, more feminine, Zhuo Yihang is a famous child, with courtesy to maintain himself, almost dare not look at the level. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, she relaxed her steps, walked to the near mouth of the cave, sat cross-kneeled, and watched the rain outside getting heavier and heavier, although her heart was pounding, I thought that the girl's face was rare in the world, but I didn't even dare to look back. "Who knows that one side is bound to be destined in a previous life?" Who knows that the children of famous families and the evil sect demons are finally intolerable, coupled with many misunderstandings, after multiple tribulations, the practice of neon is sad and frustrated, the liver and intestines are broken, and finally a night of whiteheads, far away from the Heavenly Mountains. Zhuo Yihang is not indecisive and unsympathetic, on the contrary, I think he is a great man with deep feelings, one side is his lover, the other side is his division commander. He is loyal to love, but he is also filial to his teacher. It is precisely because he is in a special position that he is in trouble, which causes his helplessness. In the end, Zhuo Yihang made up his mind to rebel against Wudang, stepped down as the head of the office, and followed.
Wudang Mountain
However, at the end of the novel, "Yu Luocha is extremely discouraged, remembering the twists and turns of more than ten years, and now his hair is white, even if he becomes a mandarin couple again, it is not interesting, he would rather leave a little unfinished feeling and remember each other!" But seeing that the sky is the Geng Geng Milky Way, the underground is the Yellow Desert Desert, and the shadow of the Yuluosha is gone! Zhuo Yihang thought like a drunk, looking at the stars overhead, only to feel that Yu Luosha was like a star above his head, it seemed to be very close and far away from himself, the heart lake was surging, and the sorrow came from it, and it could not be broken. "This pair of bitter Mandarin ducks, after the first meeting of the Yellow Dragon Cave, the night talk of the Mingyue Gorge, the dispute on the Wudang Mountain, the parting on the great desert, in the end it is still difficult to get married. Once, Zhuo Yihang saw Lian Ni Xie's white head one night and vowed to find Yu Tanhua to make her gray hair blue. Yuzuku found it, but it took sixty years to bloom.
Lin Qingxia Zhang Guorong version of the white-haired witch
In the sequel "The Legend of SaiWai Qi", they still surround the Tianshan Mountains and chase after me. At first it was a man chasing a woman and then a woman chasing a man. Then in "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", Zhuo Yihang died before Practicing Neon, and sent his apprentices to guard Youtanhua. In the end, he fulfilled his promise, and the disciple presented the two blooming red and white flowers to the hundred-year-old Lian Ni Xie. Of course, this is just a symbolic meaning, expressing the depth of their love! In the end, Lian Ni And Zhuo Yihang were buried together. I think that may be their good result. Although they did not have a bond before they were born, they remained in each other's hearts. Since they love each other, why should they care about that marriage certificate? Why care about that wedding ceremony? In our real life, it may be a tragedy, and it may be regretted for a lifetime. But they don't live in reality, they're chivalrous, they're gods, they're fairy tales. Just like Zhuo Yihang's poem: Only because of the sea memory confidant, the beginning believes that the end of the world is close to each other.
Of course, in addition to this pair, there is another pair, Yue Mingke and Iron Coral. There are sacrifices in war, iron corals pass away, Yue Mingke Tianshan monk, worship Huo Tiandu as a teacher, become the representative of the Tianshan Sect's founding of the obscure Zen master, only then did he have the legend of "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain".
