In the original novel, Qin Keqing did not fall in love with Ding Peng, and she never regretted that she had deceived him. Because in the original work, she is a woman who loves to relax and enjoy herself.
She had to eat twenty taels of silver a pair of pearl powder every day to avoid wrinkles on her face. The materials for her clothes are all silk shipped from Tianzhu and Persia, so that she can look younger. I have to take a bath with goat milk every day and have several maids to wait on me...
The reason why she helped Liu Ruosong deceive others was to preserve his reputation so that he could satisfy his greed. Otherwise, if Liu Ruosong is defeated and loses his position of power, she will also have nothing.
Her character was completely changed in the TV series. Not only was she forced to deceive, but she also regretted it afterwards, fell deeply in love with Ding Peng, and was even willing to die for him.
In the original novel, Xie Xiaoyu is an ambitious and resourceful woman who wants to merge the Demon Cult and the Divine Sword Villa to unify the martial arts world and dominate the world. But her conspiracy was finally destroyed by Ding Peng.
The character of Xie Xiaoyu was also changed in the play. She is just a poor person who has no home to return to, no relatives to recognize, and is all alone.
In the original novel, the leader of the demon sect is named Qiu Xiaolou. He created the original eight-step magic sword technique known as Ruyi and the Demon Sword. He once dominated the martial arts world and oppressed the Central Plains.
However, he is not evil, but can be said to be upright. He also strictly restrains the followers of the demon sect and does not allow them to go too far and cause dissatisfaction among the followers.
In the end, three of the four elders of the Demon Sect chose to betray, and joined forces with the five sects and the Divine Sword Villa to destroy the Demon Sect. Although Qiu Xiaolou was able to escape, he was not prepared for revenge, and even wanted to end the demon sect.
In the play, the leader of the Demon Cult is renamed Ren Tianxing. He is completely a hypocrite who is duplicitous and ruthless. He only knows how to fight for fame and fortune and dominate the world, and he doesn't even care about the death of his own daughter.
In the original novel, Liu Ruosong is also more hypocritical than in the play. After being defeated by Ding Peng, he even worshiped Ding Peng as his disciple for a time.
After finally learning the secret of the magic sword, he helped Qiu Xiaolou kill all the traitors of the demon sect, and prepared to marry Xie Xiaoyu in order to dominate the world, but was eventually killed by Ding Peng with a knife.
Although he is shameless and cunning in the play, he has never done any of these things.
In addition, none of the four elders of the Demon Cult, including the Golden Lion, Silver Dragon, Bronze Camel, and Iron Swallow, who played a lot of roles in the original novel, appear in the drama version.
On the contrary, Bai Xiaosheng and Jing Wuming appeared who should not have appeared.
All in all, the 1997 drama version of "The Scimitar of the Moon" is basically a fan work compared to the original novel.
However, compared to the original work by Sima Ziyan Gou Wei Xu Diao, although this version is a fan work, both the story and reputation are even better.
…
After recognizing the world he was in, Xiang Nan calmed down and continued to eat his noodles.
The world of the 1997 version of "Full Moon Scimitar" is not dangerous to him.
Because thirty years ago, the Zhengdao and the Demonic Cult had a great battle at Heimuya, and both sides suffered losses. Many masters died in that catastrophe, resulting in a dwindling talent pool in the martial arts world.
Therefore, there are no heroes who make Shuzi famous. So much so that a despicable and shameless person like Junzi Jian Liu Ruosong can become a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
However, in the world of "Full Moon Scimitar", there are also really difficult masters to deal with.
One is the sword **** Xie Xiaofeng. His swordsmanship has reached the realm of immortals and Buddhas where "the sword is the sword, I am me" and "the sword is not the sword, I am not myself".
One is Tianxing, the director of the Demon Cult. His realm is the same as Xie Xiaofeng's, and he has also reached the realm of the demon of "nothing is perfect and only he is supreme".
Even if he loses to the two of them, he will not lose easily.
While Xiang Nan was eating noodles, a group of onlookers gathered around on the second floor of the restaurant, all looking at him. "Look, he is Ding Peng. He defeated Zeng Bufan, the head of the Kongtong sect, with three moves, and defeated the one-armed sword tyrant Liu Jianzhan with six moves."
“But he looks ordinary, nothing special.”
"Hey, you are wrong. People cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured. Although his appearance is ordinary, his "Meteor from the Sky" move is elusive and unpredictable."
These onlookers talked a lot.
They all heard that Xiang Nan was going to challenge Fang Aotian, the head of the Diancang faction today, so they came specially to watch the battle.
…
At this moment, I heard a clicking sound from the roof, as if someone was walking.
Immediately, the doors and windows of the entire restaurant were covered with black cloth, causing the light in the room to dim suddenly, and it became pitch black, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
Seeing that the situation was so strange, all the onlookers dared to stay where they were, and they all rushed out of the restaurant.
Xiang Nan didn't move at all, still eating his noodles.
He ate quickly because he knew that he would not be in the mood to eat later.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished eating the bowl of noodles and put down the bowl and chopsticks, he saw a flash of candlelight, and then heard two whirring sounds, as if two heavy objects were hitting him.
Xiang Nan assessed the situation and calmly picked up the sword on the dining table. He heard two bangs and bangs, and two heavy objects hit the dining table, smashing it to pieces.
The two heavy objects also fell to the ground and broke apart, but they turned out to be two large boxes. After the box burst, what rolled out were large gold ingots.
Each one has fifty-two layers, and is gleaming and enchanting.
Xiang Nan saw this but turned a blind eye.
Let alone gold, he has seen a lot of higher-value artifacts, antiques, gems, and jade.
"My surname is Jin, and I am the general manager of the Diancang sect." At this time, the man holding a candle walked into the restaurant and said loudly, "There are three thousand taels of gold here. As long as Ding Shaoxia does not challenge our Diancang sect today, everything here All the gold belongs to you."
"General Manager Jin, you underestimate me, Ding Peng." Xiang Nan said coldly, "I challenge Master Fang just to sharpen myself and reach a higher level of swordsmanship.
"
"Ding Shaoxia, don't make a mistake. Three thousand taels of gold is enough to make you rich and wealthy, and have food and clothing without worries." Seeing this, Manager Jin advised, "One breath can be used for a thousand things. Once everything is impermanent, there is no need to live with yourself. "
"Chao bacteria don't know Hui Shuo, worms don't know Spring and Autumn, summer insects don't know ice." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "Manager Jin, we have different ways and don't want to conspire with each other, so there's no need to waste words."
"You will be fined if you don't drink the toast." Manager Jin couldn't help but said angrily when he saw Xiang Nanming's stubbornness. Then he waved his hand and four people immediately jumped downstairs and attacked Xiang Nan.
They are very agile, and their swordsmanship is even more agile. When they attack together, even the masters are unable to guard against them.
Xiang Nan didn't seem to notice, and still sat there.
