The "Xiang Shuai Series" story composed of eight series of "Blood Sea Fragrance", "Great Desert", "Thrush", "Ghost Love", "Bat Legend", "Peach Blossom Legend", "New Moon Legend" and "Midnight Orchid" should be Gu Long's most spirited work, mainly telling the legendary story of Chu Liuxiang and his friends, and interpreting the stories of various love and hate in the jianghu. The portrayal of Chu Liuxiang in the book is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Jianghu people call him "Thief Shuai" and "Xiang Shuai". Charming, resourceful, observant, kind and affectionate, many times exposed intricate conspiracies, with their own wit and composure, won a lot of martial arts higher than their own masters, light skills are unmatched, is Gu Long's pen close to the myth of the character.
The appearance of Chu Liuxiang at the beginning is very special, a note with a tulip flavor, a gentle and polite text, outlining the elegance and flow of Chu Liuxiang, but in the process of reading, it is obvious that there is a clear difference between the first three works and the next few works, after all, when the first three works were written, Gu Long was at the peak of creation, and the Chu Liuxiang shown was also a large and complete, omnipotent superhuman image. Therefore, the three works of "Blood Sea Fragrance", "Great Desert" and "Thrush" in the early stage are also known as "Iron Blood Legend". Are very interesting, the blood sea fragrance has a wonderful beginning, but also Su Rongrong, Li Honggui, Song Tian'er, the highest one in the camera, the Central Plains a little red is also very popular, to the great desert, Chu Liuxiang's nemesis Hu Tiehua on the line, as well as several intertwined clues, the danger in the desert, the final decisive battle against Shangshi Guanyin, people are addicted, the thrush is relatively stable, but several big battles are quite wonderful, or more moving.
The next few stories, the level has indeed declined, maybe "Bat Legend" is still relatively brilliant, completely talking about the detective's crime-solving methods, the original Suiyun, the master of the dry plum, the Golden Lingzhi, Gao Yanan and other characters, let people have a profound impact, and the relationship between the master of the dry plum and the original suiyun, so far we are still speculating, the final ending is indeed quite shocking. "Ghost Love" feels a bit mysterious, but Chu Liuxiang's confrontation with Xue Yiren and Xue Xiaoren is still full of points. The remaining few may be boring, Zhang Jiejie, Shi Tianwang, Mr. Orchid and other characters, feel that compared with the previous ones, it is not so attractive. However, the identity of Mr. Orchid is still being talked about by readers, but no matter who it is, we are only speculating.
I have to say that the Chu Liuxiang story series created by Gu Long is very successful, from the beginning of creation, Gu Long has injected all the advantages in the world into Chu Liuxiang's body, and also injected his own faith and personality, and finally shaped a generation of legendary Figures Chu Liuxiang. Of course, the TV series has also filmed a lot, the plot is changed beyond recognition, some people say that Zheng Shaoqiu's Chu Liuxiang is the most classic, but the plot is still a mess, but Zhang Zhiyao's version of Chu Liuxiang, the plot is really good, the original text has not changed much, it looks a bit interesting. However, Gu Long's book is originally used to see, and it is difficult to show the artistic conception in the book when it is filmed.
"The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", as a classic martial arts novel of Gu Long, does have countless fans, and should be one of the most famous and influential and popular novels in his life, worthy of Gu Long's most spirited work.
