1. Saint type: representative figure: Li Xunhuan
This type of man has strong martial arts skills, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, longs for freedom, regards fame and wealth as dirt, repays evil with kindness, and treats others with kindness. Sincerity, high moral character and respect, respected by others. In short, they are the leaders of the world, the embodiment of justice, the idols of knights, and the spiritual fathers of warriors. They have strong hearts, sound personalities, are aloof, and control everything. Full of compassion, he often sacrifices himself for the sake of friends and morality.
Li Xunhuan is obviously such a person, with a noble voice. The Li family is a distinguished family in the imperial court. "One family has seven Jinshi, and his father and son have three talents." He himself is also the hero with the highest "diploma" in martial arts novels. , one of the top three in the imperial examination. But he didn't care at all and would rather be a prodigal son. He has great martial arts skills, and "Xiao Li's flying daggers are always used." It is the longest-running myth in the world, but it has never been abused. His descendant Ye Kai said: "Little Li's flying knives are used to save people, not to save people." Used to kill people. He attaches great importance to feelings, and has only loved one woman, Lin Shiyin, in his life, and does not care at all about the temptation of beautiful women like Lin Xian'er; but he cherishes friendship even more, and in order to repay Long Xiaoyun's life-saving grace, he does not hesitate to wander around brothels and destroy himself. image, but gave up his beloved woman to his sworn brother. This is an almost perfect person. For Gu Long, he originally wrote such a perfect and impeccable heroic image, an idol that everyone loves and worships. But too much is not enough, Gu Long used too much force, which made Li Xunhuan look very fake, or "almost fake". There is no God in this world, nor does it need God. No one is qualified to have moral superiority over others. Therefore, when Li Xunhuan uses a pity or condescending attitude to show his noble personality, he is already a pitiful person.
If I had to choose, I would like to be a stranger outside Li Xunhuan's world. If not, I would be his enemy. It would be easier to be his enemy than his friend.
Why be sentimental? Why be infatuated? If the flowers are sentimental, they will wither early. If a person is sentimental, he will be haggard, haggard... If he is at the end of the world, why not be haggard, and if the wine is in a golden bottle, why not be intoxicated. It is better to watch others quarrel with each other drunkenly than to secretly shed tears of lovesickness when no one is around...
2. The representative figure of wisdom: Huamanlou
The wisdom referred to here is not Refers to cleverness and wit. Real great wisdom is a state. In Gu Long's novels, there are too many witty and intelligent people, but not many truly wise people. It just so happens that Huamanlou is one of them.
Huamanlou is a blind man. But he never complained and was always happy and satisfied. "No matter where he is, he can experience some fun that others cannot experience. His eyes are blind. Perhaps it is because of this lack that he can calm down and listen to the most beautiful and cheerful music in nature. Only then can you smell the refreshing fragrance that no one has ever noticed, and feel the simplest and most ordinary happiness in life."
The building is full of flowers. There are flowers in my arms but I can’t see them. Because he is blind. But his heart was very bright. Huamanlou uses this bright heart to enjoy a beautiful life with confidence and satisfaction. If we didn’t have the great wisdom to love life, how could we have such a clear understanding? Such a man is the best friend and the best husband!
This person is an alternative in Gu Long’s novels, and another realm in martial arts novels. There is no killing, no blood, but only tolerance and broad-mindedness, gratitude for beauty, and love for life. It wasn't until "Happy Heroes" that Gu Long wrote about this realm again, which was even more profound and touching. And this realm is the real ancient dragon, and it is the real reason why the ancient dragon is different from Jinliang and is a tripartite!
3. Fantasy type Representative character: Chu Liuxiang
Gu Long wrote eight books about Chu Liuxiang, which is probably a pioneering work.
Chu Liuxiang in the book is "extremely intelligent, bold and mighty, handsome, elegant, beautiful as a cloud, admired by everyone, invincible in battle, invincible, invincible, invincible in fire and water, famous all over the world, and is recited by everyone." The dream lover of every girl, the idol worshiped by every teenager, the most desired son-in-law of every mother of an unmarried daughter, the friend that every hero is most willing to make, and the owner of every ecstasy place is most willing to The patron who woos enthusiastically, the person that every pauper likes to meet, the good friend that every good friend likes to drink with, the most knowledgeable eater among all the famous chefs in the world, and the best eater among all the best tailors in the world. A smart player, the biggest high roller among all casino owners in the world. No matter who he is, they all admit that he is a unique hero in the world and no one can replace him. ”
Such a person is better than him. The number one scholar is elegant, more powerful than Superman, smarter than 007, fragrant among flowers, never kills, forward-thinking, and invincible in wisdom. To say that he is still a human being is really too much.
4. Representative character of the evil type: Wang Lianhua Wuhua
Wang Lianhua is obviously very bad. He is known as the best talent in the martial arts world. As the enemy of the hero Shen Lang, he is cunning and evil. , his methods are cruel, insidious and vicious, he kills without blinking an eye; he is cunning and changeable, his face changes like a page in a book, he harms masters of the righteous way, he is frivolous to young women... In short, he basically possesses all the characters and evil deeds that a villain should have. . But such a person is one of the most popular male protagonists in Gu Long's novels, and he is also one of the most successful villains in Gu Long's novels. He is a combination of countless contradictions: a confusing life experience, peerless talent, handsome facial features, and elegant personality... He is pitiable by women and admired by men. He is really a "devil among demons and a gentleman among villains."
Wuhua is a monk and one of the most pitiable villains in Gu Long's works. Leng, arrogant, lonely, amazingly talented, and a rare person in a century. In the end, because the conspiracy was revealed and defeated at the hands of Chu Liuxiang, he committed suicide, which was very sad.
In martial arts novels, the most popular villains among current readers are, in addition to Wang Lianhua and Wuhua from the ancient school, there is also Yang Kang from the Jin school. This little prince is becoming more and more popular with women. Welcome, probably has something to do with Miao Qiaowei's interpretation on TV. The other one is Liu Wuliu Suifeng of the moderate faction. The brilliance of the book overshadows the protagonists Xiao Qiushui and Li Chenzhou. It's no wonder that Li Chenzhou can't tolerate him!
5. Borderline Representative characters: Xiao Shiyilang A Fei
In late spring in March, the sheep are happy and the grass is growing, but the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. Who feeds the wolves? The human heart pities the sheep, the wolf heart is independent, the heavenly heart is unpredictable, and the world is like frost. Xiao Shiyilang is a rather peculiar martial arts character. He lost his parents at a young age and grew up fending for himself among wolves. He learned terrifying martial arts and became a thief in the world. He doesn't believe in this sanctimonious world, sees through the warmth and coldness of the world and the sinister nature of people's hearts, and almost instinctively keeps a careful and safe distance from this world.
He thinks he is strong, but he often cannot help but hurt himself and pity himself. He will be lonely, lonely, and long for love. He has always been an "outsider" and lonely throughout his life. Sometimes he feels very tired, but he never dares to rest. Because life is like a whip, always whipping him from behind, asking him to go forward, asking him to search, but never telling him what he can find... In fact, in his heart, he has always longed to escape. This situation has returned to the mainstream. So I fell in love with Mr. Shen Bi, not Feng Siniang. Sometimes I think Shenbijun is a symbol in this book. It symbolizes beautiful, sincere and warm hope.
But, how to return? He didn't know, he longed for it but at the same time he was rejecting it in his heart, and in the end he couldn't find such a way. So love also becomes a tragedy. Ah Fei is the same type of person as him, but luckier than him. Just like Yang Guo met Guo Jing, A Fei met Li Xun Huan, and finally became a generation of heroes. They were still lonely, but at least the moral anxiety was gone.
Sometimes I think that Gu Long Xiao Shiyilang and others may be referring to themselves. Some are isolated, with huge spiritual pain, growing up in loneliness, with such strong emotions, such beautiful yearning and love in their hearts.
But the world always looks down upon them, and always stifles them with suspicion, suspicion and even traps. So, whether out of anger or voluntarily, in short, I became a marginalized person.
6. Elf Type Representative: Jiang Xiaoyu
This person is the Gu Long version of Wei Xiaobao. Smart, witty, eloquent, quick-sighted, and versatile, he is the first-class interesting character in Gu Long's book. It's just that his life experience is much more complicated than Wei Xiaobao's, so his road to the world is far more tortuous and difficult than Wei Xiaobao's. Both of his parents died when he was young, and he grew up in the Valley of the Evildoers, the most shameful place in the martial arts world. His enemies were the master of Yihua Palace, a saint in the martial arts world, and the hero Jiang Biehe... However, all of this could not stop Xiao Yu'er. Look, He was laughing and joking, playing games, and with his extraordinary wit and wisdom, he not only escaped danger and avenged himself, but also recovered his twin brother Hua Wuque, who had been separated since childhood, and won the love of a talented girl Su Ying.
"Peerless Two Prides" is a strange book with twists and turns in the plot and bizarre story, which fully demonstrates Gu Long's incomparable imagination. But in comparison, Jiang Xiaoyu’s growth experience is even more touching. This book is actually about the growth story of a smart boy. When he met Hua Wuque, he had a long psychological monologue:
“I thought that no one could compare with me, and I looked down on everyone, but when others wanted to kill me, I There is no way at all."
"I look down on women, especially Tie Xinlan. Just because I know she loves me, I try my best to make her sad, but in the end she has to sacrifice herself to save me! "
"I think I am the smartest person in the world, but now I am being chased like a dog, running away with my tail between my legs."
" Although I escaped this time, will I have to escape like this in my life? Will I have to wait for others to save me in my life? "
"Yes, Hua Wuque's strategy may not be as good as mine? , but why would a person like him use any tricks? Just because he has real abilities.
"And I...I just want to rely on cleverness and luck..." If a person only has intelligence but no ability, what's the use? ”
“I thought that even the people in the Valley of the Wicked were afraid of me, so I thought it was great, but I didn’t know that they were afraid of me, just like parents are afraid of a naughty child. Can I be stronger than Tu Jiaojiao? Li Dazui? Bloody Hand Du Kill? …” Sometimes, growth is a difficult and great theme.
7. Representative of the cold and arrogant type: Ximen Chuixue
Maybe some people don’t know who Lu Xiaofeng is, but everyone Everyone must have heard of Ximen Chuixue. There are many sword masters in the martial arts world, but there is only one swordsman. This person must be Ximen Chuixue. His martial arts skills may be superior to his, but he does not have the dedication to the sword. Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship may not be weaker than his, but his swordsmanship is interfered with by fame and wealth. Only he is truly pure, upright, elegant, and lonely, like a sword! In other words, he is the sword, the sword! That's him. Where he lives, there are only plum blossoms, and the clothes he wears are always white. He never asks for help, and he never gets asked for it, because there is nothing he can't do. It is even less possible for others to do it, and there is no need for others to plead for what he is willing to do.
He regards killing as an art, elegant and sacred. , so before killing someone, he would fast, take a bath, and change his clothes calmly, piously and with awe. He regarded the sword as his life and was only loyal to the sword, but he fell in love with Sun Xiuqing in order to understand the higher skills of swordsmanship. After giving birth to the child, he broke off the relationship. He was by no means ruthless, but in front of the sword, even emotions were not important.
Such a man is as cold as a sword. Ao Rubing. If you are a woman, you must not get to know him. If you do, you must run away quickly, because if you don't run away, you will definitely fall in love with him, and if you fall in love with him, you are destined to be heartbroken for the rest of your life. .
It's not a good man who breaks a woman's heart, but he is always an exception! Because his name is Ximen Chuixue, others call him the Sword God!
8. Representative follower type: Hu Tiehua
Perhaps Gu Long’s original intention was to write Hu Tiehua as Chu Liuxiang’s friend, but in fact he is more like Xiangshuai’s follower. A bit similar to Watson next to Sherlock Holmes. Of course, he is much more interesting than Watson. He has good martial arts skills, loyalty, emotional value, loves beauty, and enjoys fun. He is the kind of "good brother and good friend". The original story of such a person should be very exciting. However, in the book, he gives the impression that he is nosy but often gets into trouble because of it. He is a strong martial artist but cannot be beaten by anyone. Falling in love with a woman is destined to be a beautiful mistake. He turned into a mess and let Chu Liuxiang take the blame. (Hu Tiehua touched her nose and smiled helplessly)
In fact, in order to set off the image of the protagonist, Gu Long always makes other supporting characters serve as foils, intentionally or unintentionally. Just like Panda'er in "The History of Martial Arts". It was only when I wrote about Lu Xiaofeng that I completely changed my mind. Huamanlou and Ximen Chuixue all had their own lives and thoughts, each with their own brilliance. When it came to "Happy Heroes" and when I wrote about Guo Dalu, who was similar to Hu Tiehua, Gu Long had already completely changed his mind. After letting go, Guo Dalu's image is full and rich, far better than Hu Tiehua's.
Gu Long must have known this. Later, when he wrote "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang", he spared no effort to describe Hu Tiehua. However, the calm, luxurious and martial arts master made it difficult to think of the former Hu Tiehua. Although maybe this kind of Hu Tiehua is real.
9. The prodigal type
Representative figure: Lu Xiaofeng
Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows sometimes feels like a replica of Chu Liuxiang, smart, witty, and highly skilled in martial arts , enjoy life, be respected by others, especially popular by MM. The obvious difference is that Chu Liuxiang is probably more handsome than Lu Xiaofeng, and Lu Xiaofeng has two more eyebrows:)
But in comparison, I like Lu Xiaofeng better. Chu Liuxiang is more reserved, considers herself noble, does not kill people, does not do anything that is beneath her status, and is relatively indifferent emotionally. The friendship with Hu Tiehua doesn't feel very equal. Probably Hu is ten points against Chu, and Chu is only seven points against Hu. Gu Long said in Chu Liuxiang that Dashu can only be friends with Dashu, and Chu Liuxiang abided by it very firmly.
In comparison, Lu Xiaofeng is naturally much more kind. Although he enjoys a luxurious life, he also enjoys doing things like somersaults and digging for earthworms, and drinking flowers with the turtle grandson. After drinking, he sat together and waited for others to redeem him, and he didn't feel it was damaging to his image. He has many friends, including Zhu Ting, Hua Manlou, Ximen Chuixue, Honest Monk, Mu Daoren... These people all have their own lives, their own ideas and choices, and they are truly parallel friends with Lu Xiaofeng, and together they form this lively and exciting world. Interesting arena. Moreover, Lu Xiaofeng really values ??friendship. Most of his adventure stories are about being forced to get involved for the sake of friends and morality.
He was a romantic man and had many women. But he felt lonely inside and had strong emotional needs, so he finally fell in love with Sharman. Lu Xiaofeng's falling in love with Shaman is a very special thing in Gu Long's novels.
In Gu Long's novels, everyone has the characteristics of a prodigal to some extent. But there is only one prodigal son, Lu Xiaofeng. There is a unique "colorful wings flying together" and "a consonant finger" in the world and underground.
10. Traditional type
Representative figure: Tie Zhongtang
When Gu Long first started writing martial arts novels, he could not completely get rid of the influence of Jin Yong, so he shaped The heroes often bear the shadow of Guo Jing and others. Xiangzhan Mengbai and so on. The epitome of this is Tie Zhongtang in "The Legend of the Banner Hero". In a sense, Tie Zhongtang is a continuation of the traditional heroes, and thoughts such as Jianghu morality and justice have a heavy influence on him. He valued friendship, let Yun Xing go privately, and risked his life to save Yun Zheng, which was a sign of brotherly love. To inspire Ai Tianfu with wisdom and maintain his ambition in life is the meaning of Jianghu. He has a spirit of sacrifice and is willing to be misunderstood by the whole world for the sake of the banner. With a sense of justice, when encountering injustice, you will naturally fight against it... Such an upright and awe-inspiring image is relatively rare in ancient books.
In fact, by the time of "Peerless Two Prides", the hero Yan Nantian has become a supporting role in the book. In "Xiao Shiyilang", Yang Kaitai is not even a supporting role.
This is inevitable. No matter how good the traditional heroes are, they cannot surpass Xiao Feng and Guo Jing. Being as smart as Gu Long, I naturally understand this matter very well. Through Tie Zhongtang, I tell everyone that I can also write Jin's novels, and then use a false shot to create the ancient world. Therefore, we are lucky enough to appreciate Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng. A unique martial arts image.
