Chapter 540

Although Prime Minister Zhuge's idea sounded very silly at first, Liu Xu thought about it carefully, and was suddenly surprised to find that it seemed to be possible.

Originally, it was absolutely impossible for Zhuge Liang’s characters to be named gods in the Romance of the Gods, because the story of the Romance of the Gods took place in the Shang Dynasty, and it was impossible to add the generals of the Three Kingdoms era to the story no matter how indiscriminately fabricated the plot was.

Besides, in the future, will it be enough to confer gods on the generals of the Three Kingdoms period?
What about the existing generals of the Chu and Han Dynasties?What about the generals from the Tang and Ming periods that will appear in the future?This can't be a one-off deal!

So at the beginning, Liu Xu instinctively rejected this suggestion. Of course, this rejection was based on Liu Xu's copying of the original "Fengshen Yanyi".

But the question is, is it necessary to copy this "Fengshen Yanyi"?
Although the Romance of the Gods is also well-known in China, aside from classical works such as the Four Great Masterpieces, except for a few books, the Romance of the Gods is the most famous and has contributed many classic characters at the same time.

For example, characters such as Nezha, Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, etc., were all plumped up through the Romance of the Gods.Take Nezha and Yang Jian as examples. They both appeared in Journey to the West. Does anyone remember their stories in Journey to the West? The familiar ones still come from the plot of Fengshen Yanyi.

Especially Nezha, who has almost been used as Monkey Brother in the movie circle of later generations.

Therefore, Fengshenyanyi is actually relatively successful in terms of plot and character design, which is why he can be liked by domestic audiences.

The greatest contribution of Fengshenyanyi is that it provided the entire prehistoric mythology system for later, and this mythology system also contributed many classic novels to the web.

Maybe many readers don't like the mythology system of the Great Desolation, and feel that it is too stereotyped, because except for the first few novels, all subsequent novels of the Great Desolation are basically continuing the same story.

What about Lich Wars, Six Saints Conferring Gods, etc., the plot of the whole world must be advanced according to the context of the entire prehistoric mythology system, even the protagonist has to follow this context, it is difficult to violate the entire main line.

And this is where the prehistoric mythology system shines, which proves that the structure of this system is very complete, and the behavioral logic of all the main characters can withstand polishing and sculpting.

And more importantly, the prehistoric myth system perfectly absorbed many Chinese classical myths.

Before the emergence of the prehistoric mythology system, China's mythological stories were basically scattered, each with its own story, and there was no main thread that could connect these stories together, and it was almost difficult to form a complete worldview.

For example, the myths that everyone is familiar with, such as Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created man, Fuxi performed gossip, Gonggong smashed into the sky pillar, Nuwa repaired the sky, Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Houyi shot the sun and so on.

Before the prehistoric mythology system came out, these stories could not be connected together.

But after the emergence of the prehistoric myth system, these Chinese myths were connected together by a series of complete story logic lines, especially after countless authors checked and filled in gaps and added various settings, the entire worldview has reached almost perfect. It's as real and credible as history.

This is why many authors can only follow the context of the entire mythology system step by step when writing novels of the wilderness, because this is just like history. Travelers can only make up for it in the torrent of history. Just smash the entire historical trend with a stick, otherwise the logic of the entire novel will be completely shattered.

The foundation of the entire prehistoric mythology system is the Fengshen Yanyi, which built the most basic framework of the prehistoric system. After a second re-creation by a certain author in later generations, it was followed by tens of thousands of authors in the morning. The abundance of Honghuangliu novels has finally formed a huge system of Honghuangliu mythology.

Liu Xu is also one of the senior fans. His favorite online novel is Honghuangliu. At the same time, he also combines Shan Haijing, Sou Shenji and other ancient mythological novels to make a certain analysis of Honghuangliu's world view. The enrichment and supplementation of them made them more closely fit with the ancient Chinese mythology, which gave Liu Xu a sense of accomplishment.

But it is precisely because of the description of the flood and the Romance of the Gods that Liu Xu also knows very clearly that in fact, there are many, many places in the original novel of "The Romance of the Gods" that are quite poorly written.

Or where the logic contradicts itself.

One of the most problematic points is Shen Gongbao's "Daoist friends, please stay."

Those who are familiar with the plot know that once Shen Gongbao said to a monk who stopped teaching, please stay, fellow Taoist, then this person is basically on the list of gods, and his death should not be too miserable.

It can be said that Shen Gongbao has at least [-]% of the credit for the death of so many people in Jiejiao. Almost the entire sect was dragged into robbery.

But the problem also lies here. If you carefully check Shen Gongbao's footsteps, you will find that Shen Gongbao is actually a disciple of Chanjiao.

But as long as Shen Gongbao said, fellow Taoist, please stay, almost all the disciples of the Jujiao obediently listened to Shen Gongbao's bewitching, and forgot the words left by his master Tongtian, "Close the cave door, quietly recite the three or two volumes of Huang Ting, throw yourself into the western land, and confer the gods on the list." There are famous people” warning.

After all, this warning is basically a prophecy, as long as you stay in the cave and don't go out, you can escape the catastrophe, but these people just forgot what their master said, and they all left with Shen Gongbao.

Regarding this point, the later novels of Honghuangliu gave corresponding complements, saying that the world is filled with disaster at this time, and some monks will have their heads broken, lose their wisdom and calmness, and come out to die.

But this is a supplement given by later novels, and there is no corresponding explanation in the original "Fengshen Yanyi".

In fact, to put it bluntly, the author of Fengshen Yanyi was too lazy to spend more energy to polish the rationality of the plot, so he just used Shen Gongbao as a tool.

This kind of plot is okay at the beginning, but once it is repeated too much, it will inevitably make people desperately want to complain.

In addition, the gods in "Fengshen Yanyi" basically have no divinity. Under the ancestor Hongjun, including the six saints, one counts as one, and they are all old silver coins.

And the disciples under them, except for a few characters with protagonists written on their heads, who are not good at doing dirty things, the rest of the disciples of the three religions are either sanctimonious bastards, or simply rotten devils. up.

It's ironic to say that the only person with a pleasing personality and personality is actually the leader of Tongtian.

Because only this saint was thinking about protecting his disciple from the beginning to the end. In the end, he even knew that there was a pit in front of him, but in order to avenge his apprentice, he stepped into the pit. The sword is gone.

And when it comes to the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, I have to mention another slot in Feng Shen Yan Yi.

That is, this novel is not a fight between gods and gods, but a fight with magic weapons. Except for a few fierce men who have become holy in flesh, the competition of other gods is not their own fairy skills at all, but their own magic weapons.

Whoever has the most powerful magic weapon, or whose magic weapon can restrain the opponent's magic weapon, will be able to win, which makes people very speechless.

But then again, in fact, this seems very reasonable, after all, you will have nuclear bombs and you will be NB in ​​future generations!
