"White Jade Tiger": Gu Long, the villain master Tang Que is too powerful, even I can't kill it
Tang Que is one of the most classic villains in the history of martial arts novels. It seems to be thick, but it is actually very clever. After appearing, everything he said was a trap, a chorus. Every sentence is a temptation, a pun, an antidote. After Zhao Wuji entered the Tang Family Fort, he constantly encountered dangerous situations. If it wasn't for Shangguan Blade secretly helping, Xiao Bao and Guo Que'er would have made up for the stage, and even sacrificed Xiao Bao, and they would have been doomed many times.
Tang Que rarely showed his true feelings. The only two times, about once was the pride expressed when talking about Tang Jiabao, and the other was to express a slight envy and jealousy of Tang Ao. Therefore, it can generally be understood that Tang Que is jealous of Tang Ao, and at the same time he is slightly inferior. Tang Que prided himself on the largeness, tight organization, dark weapons and shrewd secrets of Tang Men, which was a feminine aesthetic. But in his bones, he actually envied Tang Ao, and he could challenge the heroes of the world with dignity.
The more envious he was, the more he had to defend himself, so Tang Que hid himself deeper. Some of his overly pompous fatness and conspiracy are actually a kind of self-preservation. He wanted to prove it to himself or others: he wanted to use his trembling wit to defeat all external factors and protect the Tang family. This is the survival rule that the Tang family should have. However, according to Tang Que's style of being suddenly true and false, uncertain, and shaking at any time, these flaws and true feelings may also be the bait he put on Zhao Wujie.
After all, at the end of the novel, he did not fully trust Zhao Wujie, would he really expose this flaw to Zhao Wujie? Is it possible that these flaws were also deliberately left to Zhao Wujie? We'll never know. Therefore, from the superficial point of view, Tang Que is a fat man who lacks heart and eyes. Those who know him will find him a shrewd, wise, foolish guy who is tempting you at any time. Digging a little deeper, we, as readers, can find that he has some emotional weaknesses. But thinking about it further, were these weaknesses also deliberately released to Zhao Wujie so that he could paralyze him? We'll never know.
This is Tang Que. Everything he says can be false. Such a villain is too powerful, too moving, and too difficult to write. Therefore, in the end of "White Jade Tiger", even Gu Long could not finish it. It can only be written that Zhao Wuji joined forces with Shangguan Blade. They didn't even have any signs of defeating the Tang family and killing Tang Que. Because it is difficult to imagine how Tang Que, who has written so powerfully before, will be defeated in the end.
I had never seen such a terrible enemy as the Tang Family, bringing the protagonist side a fear of no chance of victory. In the face of this fear, the sacrifices made by the children of the Gale Sect are no longer simply bloody deaths. This point is vividly reflected in the two supporting characters, Qu Ping and Xiao Bao, two handsome young people, who should have their own glorious future, but for the sake of their own loyalty, one does not hesitate to act as a villain, and the other does not hesitate to be a male favorite. This novel is richer than I could have imagined in the shaping of male characters.
In "Ghost Mountain Villa", the Wooden Dao people are too resourceful, and even the protagonist Lu Xiaofeng can't kill the Wooden Dao people, so he has to let him die of family affection. But such an ending is not unexpected. In "White Jade Tiger", there is no real ending. Tang Que was not defeated in the end. This is the history of martial arts, a man who is too strong to be portrayed so strong that the author cannot, or cannot bear it, to defeat him. This is Tang Que.
That is to say, "White Jade Tiger" has no ending, the author has been unable to arrange the role of his subordinates, Gu Long too respect for the characteristics of the character, so that he could not complete the work, this failure on gu Long is a very big blow, such an opening classic work can not be completed, for any writer is a huge setback, and then his later rough works began to appear one after another.
