Chapter 32 The Martial Arts Behind the Postscript Inn

"Sea Monster" is one of the Huayin series, followed by "Mandala" and "Tianjianlun". The time of "Sea Monster" is after "Wulin Inn 6", but the time is not completely continuous, but it also comes in order, and the plots can be independent from each other, so as not to be confused.But in order to let everyone understand the entire setting system better, I will sort out the most critical connections between the two works. Let me talk about the characters first.Maybe you still remember the young man who defeated Zarayana with one sword and was buried in the maple forest in "Picking Leaves and Flying Flowers".He is the first protagonist of "The Monster of the Sea" and even the entire Huayin series - Zhuo Wangsun.There are many twists and turns in the story from his defeat of Charayana to his succession to the pavilion master, and these stories are all related to the sword god Guo Ao in "Wulin Inn".

At the end of the Wulin Inn, Guo Ao was seriously injured after a battle with Ling Baohe. When he woke up, he had been taken into Huayin Pavilion by Bu Jianchen.Bu Jianchen told him an unknown past, and Guo Ao suddenly discovered that his life experience was closely related to the former pavilion master.So under Bu Jianchen's painstaking arrangement, Guo Ao replaced the original heir Zhuo Wangsun as the Pavilion Master.However, without waiting for his strength to be stabilized, he used the power of Huaying Pavilion to command the world and forcibly attacked the main altar of Tianluo Sect. As a result, both sides suffered: Tianluo Sect disappeared in smoke, and the conservative forces in Huaying Pavilion also disappeared.With the decline of the martial arts world, Zhuo Wangsun took advantage of the momentum to rise up, and no one could stop him.He quickly wiped out the opposing forces in the pavilion, forced Bu Jianchen to commit suicide, then imprisoned Guo Ao in the valley, announced that he would inherit Huayin's orthodoxy, and started his career of ruling the world.

Zhuo Wangsun's martial arts are amazing, he is handsome, witty and intelligent, and he is calm and composed, almost flawless.However, under these god-like appearances, there is a haughty, unapproachable, tyrannical and bloodthirsty heart hidden.He is indifferent, only Bu Jianchen's orphan Bu Xiaoluan is cherished in his heart.In order to keep the terminally ill Xiaoluan by his side, he went against the sky and tried every means to prolong her life that should have ended long ago. At that time, Zhuo Wangsun's only opponent was Yang Yizhi. Yang Yizhi is Ji Yunshang's disciple.After Ji Yunshang killed Xiao Changye and his wife, he searched all over the world and finally got the "Brahma Scroll", but he couldn't practice it for some special reason.So she placed the treasure scroll in the Brahma Palace, the forbidden place of the Mandala Sect.The underground palace is heavily guarded, with Pi Liuli and other Brahma four heavenly kings guarding it, but the treasure scroll is still stolen by Yang Yizhi.After Yang Yizhi obtained the "Brahma Treasure Scroll", he betrayed the Mandala Sect. He won a battle at the Central Plains Wulin Conference and ascended to the throne of the leader of the Wulin League.Although Yang Yizhi no longer admits that he is a member of the Mandala Sect, he has never forgotten Ji Yunshang's kindness in teaching him.In "Mandala" after "Sea Monster", he will return to the Holy Land of Mandala, but he has to face the cold sword in the hands of his mentor.

The third protagonist, Xiaoyan, did not appear in the martial arts inn, and his real identity is far more complicated than that mentioned in "The Monster of the Sea".He has a flawless appearance like Prince Sakyamuni, compassionate feelings like a wheel-turning holy king, and martial arts that are enough to shock anyone.However, when he was born, he was planted with a mysterious blood curse by the aliens of the blue bird clan, and had to drink blood for a living... In addition to these main characters, it should also be mentioned that "The Monster of the Sea" is a novel with a strong sense of reasoning, which describes the serial murders that occurred in the vast sea and the bizarre murders in the underground tombs.The case is based on an ancient legend, which has a strong color of Indian religion.

Although I write in the dual background of martial arts and religion, I still try my best to abide by the deciphering rules of orthodox reasoning.Except for the occasional use of props in the martial arts background, try not to introduce supernatural factors in the process of committing crimes and deciphering.In other words, I will never say that the deceased in the secret room was shot to death by a certain master using the supreme internal force of fighting cattle across mountains.These bizarre cases can be done with the power of ordinary people.The murderer only needs to use superhuman intelligence, not necessarily superhuman strength.Moreover, unlike Gu Long's reasoning, every suspense used must be completely and rigorously deciphered in the end. I think, perhaps only in this way can the unique thinking fun of reasoning novels be maintained.

Like "Wulin Inn", "The Monster of the Sea" also left many unsolved mysteries.For example, the death of Xinglian, a descendant of the Qingniao clan at the beginning of the chapter; the blood curse on Xiaoyan and his real purpose of coming to Middle Earth; Yang Yizhi's martial arts; Bu Xiaoluan's illness;I didn't explain it, because these are not the suspense of "Sea Monster", but the suspense of the entire novel, which must be left for later.After all, I set up three different levels of puzzles. The six heavenly offerings in "Sea Demon" are only the first layer of puzzles; the array of eight-petal mandala in "Mandala" is the second. Heavy puzzles; the conspiracy of the three heirs of the Jade Bird Clan in "Tian Jianlun" is the third layer of puzzles.Each layer is covered by the next layer, and the wheel is born again, gradually unraveling the grand face of this ever-changing martial arts world.

At some point, I had to keep parts of the entire series.For example, the Japanese boy on the boat, a large part of his appearance is foreshadowing of the later story.There are many others. Perhaps, this story is really so huge that it will take me a lifetime to fill it out. And the most prosperous years of my life were spent slowly in this fictional world of rivers and lakes. Along the way, the wind passed without a trace, leaving only faint footprints. That is "Wulin Inn", "Sea Monster", "Mandala", "Sword of Heaven".Of course, there are others.
