Chapter 471: Tian Boguang and Linghu Chong
Chapter 471: Tian Boguang and Linghu Chong
Fan Artist: Pfft, Anzen-san, you actually posted several different versions? Why are there both male and female Dongfang Bubai?Lazy Kitten: Male Dongfang Bubai is from Jin Yong’s original novel. The female ones are all from TV or movie adaptations. The last one is from Yu Ma’s version, which is completely unrecognizable.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yu Ma?
Lazy Kitten: He’s a TV director. Since his surname is Yu, people nicknamed him "Mama Yu." He basically turned wuxia into a historical idol drama, it’s pretty ridiculous.
Machete Girl: That last version does feel a bit like an idol drama. And the plot is so unreasonable. Dugu Qiubai apparently lived from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, as if his martial arts were some kind of immortal cultivation technique.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: That’s not the main point. The main point is... the storyline between Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bai is kind of sickening.
Amegakure Village’s Angel: It’s really gross, and Ren Yingying in that version is also gross.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Yeah, she just turned into a two-faced manipulator. A real scheming "green tea"!
Amegakure Village’s Angel: But the Ren Yingying from the previous version was pretty good. She was loyal and righteous. Her character was well-developed.
Lazy Kitten: That would be the CCTV version, which is closer to the original novel.
Lin Fengjiao: Yue Buqun is quite an interesting character.
Curly-haired Guy: Not just interesting, but brave too. At least I, Gin-san, could never do what he did.
Fan Artist: "If you want to practice this skill," right?
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Oh, damn it! Can we please not talk about this topic? Uncle here can feel a phantom pain just looking at this screen. How the hell did that bastard go through with it, I can’t understand it at all!
This is an Actor: His original intention was to revive his sect, but he ended up going down the wrong path.
Amegakure Village’s Angel: Yeah, I think so too. His goal was for the sect, but there’s always a gap between ideals and reality. It ultimately led to such a tragedy.
This is an Actor: But his personality gradually twisted, that was his own choice. In the end, he brought it upon himself. Pitiful, and not deserving of sympathy.
Pretty Boy from Skull Island: The deeper story in this martial world is darker than in The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Shark-Faced Guy: Yeah, I feel the same. The world of The Condor Heroes at least had a true great hero like Guo Jing. But in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, I really haven’t seen anyone with that kind of integrity.
Fan Artist: Everyone is looking out for their own interests, it’s like a hidden political circle.
Through the plot, Ying Rili can clearly see that all the factions in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer are plotting for themselves. Whether it’s the Five Great Sword Sects, Shaolin, Wudang, or the Sun Moon Holy Cult, they are all calculating.
None of these people are thinking about benefiting the martial world; they’re all thinking about how to eliminate their rivals.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: Instead of studying martial arts, they study schemes and calculations. No wonder their internal energy has decayed so much.
Looking away, Li Mochou found a corner by the window and sat down. She ordered a pot of clear tea and two small dishes, and began to observe the bustling crowd below.
The Hall of Returning Geese is located in the busy market of Hengyang City, so it’s surrounded by numerous shops and looks very prosperous. Compared to the Southern Song Dynasty when Li Mochou lived, the population density here is clearly higher.
Of course.
Because they were also living under a corrupt feudal rule, there were many poor people with sad faces. On the contrary, occasionally you could see well-dressed rich young men and women on the street, looking at those poor people with scornful smiles.
"The mindset of ’elites,’ it truly exists everywhere." Li Mochou let out a sigh and gently shook her head.
This kind of social phenomenon cannot be stopped by one person. To change it, one must start from the root. But this kind of thing can’t be rushed. She’s only just arrived in this world, and all her plans have to start from scratch.
"Hahahaha, come and sit over here!" While her thoughts were racing in her mind, a bold voice suddenly sounded.
It was a thin young man dressed in a grey robe. He had a small mustache above his upper lip and a single saber hanging from his waist.
The young man was also holding a bald little nun in his left hand. The nun’s face was filled with shame and indignation, but she couldn’t break free. She could only be pulled by the man and sat at the table in front of Li Mochou.
Click.
Seeing this scene, Li Mochou didn’t hesitate to take a picture and sent it to the group.
Fan Artist: ??? Is this Tian Boguang? And that little nun is Yi Lin?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Most likely. Sister Mochou has directly skipped to the plot, haven’t you? Amazing, amazing!
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: It’s just a coincidence.
Lazy Kitten: By the way, this Yi Lin looks better than the one in any TV version! Her skin is fair and tender, no wonder that lecherous villain Tian Boguang is tempted...
Machete Girl: Exactly! And this "fruit" is so heavy! You can’t hide it even in a monastic robe!
Curly-haired Guy: Incredible, this is truly incredible!
Foul-Mouthed Mask Guy: Damn it, Tian Boguang, you beast! As a decent adult man, Uncle here believes we absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing! Let go of that girl, let me!
Soul Society’s Villain: You want to be the beast?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: He doesn’t need to become one, he already is a beast.
Lazy Kitten: By the way, isn’t this plot a bit off? Where’s Linghu Chong?
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: He seems to be here. Is this Linghu Chong? [Image]
The photo Li Mochou sent showed a handsome young man in a Qing-grey long gown. However, his face looked a bit pale, and there were several bloodstains and knife wounds on his body.
Lazy Kitten: It looks like him, but the script is wrong... He’s already injured?
This is an Actor: Don’t look at the script, this is reality. The script can only be a reference, and the principle should be to follow reality. If this is Linghu Chong, he must have already fought with Tian Boguang.
Curly-haired Guy: So miserable, he’s been cut up like a dog.
Fan Artist: You say that, as if you haven’t been cut up like a dog yourself. If we’re all dogs, why hurt each other?
Curly-haired Guy: You bastard...
"It’s you again. You really won’t give up." Looking at Linghu Chong, who was slowly walking towards their table, Tian Boguang sighed helplessly and said, "I’ll give you a chance to scram. I don’t feel like killing today!"
"I’m in a good mood today too, I want to drink more..." Linghu Chong, trying to retort stubbornly, was about to say more when he noticed Li Mochou sitting in the back and suddenly froze.
