If one wanted to write a martial arts novel that borrowed the world of Jin Yong's novels, the following were some possible ways: ###1. Character Setting 1. ** Derivative Character Relationship ** - It could be derived from the relationship between the characters in Jin Yong's novels. For example, there were many sects in Jin Yong's novels, such as Shaolin and Wudang. The new novel could set a new character as a layman disciple of a Shaolin monk. For some special reason, he left Shaolin and started a new story in Jianghu. This character could interact with the characters of other sects in Jin Yong's novels, such as having emotional entanglements or grudges with the female disciples of the Emei Sect because they helped the victims. - He would create the descendants of the characters in Jin Yong's novels. For example, he would write about the experiences of Guo Jing and Huang Rong's descendants after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty. They carried the honor and mission of their family, and they might face the pursuit of the Mongol court. At the same time, they had to deal with the new conflicts between the sects in the Jianghu. In this process, they could show different personalities and martial arts styles from their predecessors. 2. ** Borrowing the characteristics of classic characters ** - Drawing on the character characteristics of Jin Yong's characters. For example, he could create a new character who was also unconventional but had a more extreme style of doing things based on Medicine Master Huang's " deviant " in Jin Yong's novel. This person might also be proficient in Qimen Dunjia, zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. However, he did not use these talents to live on Peach Blossom Island like Medicine Master Huang. Instead, he used them to stir up a storm in the Jianghu about the fight for martial arts manuals. This was because he thought that the current Jianghu order was too pedantic and wanted to reshuffle it in his own way. - He referred to the martial arts characteristics of the character. Like Duan Yu in Jin Yong's novel, his " Wave Subtle Steps " and " Northern Dark Divine Technique " were unique. In the new wuxia novel, a character could accidentally obtain a martial art fragment similar to the " Northern Dark Divine Art ". After his own research and understanding, he would cultivate a new power absorption technique. However, this martial art had a very big side effect, which would lead to a series of stories surrounding the restraint of this martial art and the fight for the fragment. ###2. Worldview Construction 1. ** Follow the sect system ** - It retained the main sect structure in Jin Yong's novels. For example, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sect, and other sects would continue to be an important part of the Jianghu. On this basis, it could be assumed that at a certain historical period, the Five Mountains Sword Sect had split up internally because of the dispute over the election of the sect leader. One faction believed that the election should be based on martial arts skills, while the other faction believed that the sect's traditional system of direct succession should be followed. This controversy led to open and secret struggles within the sect, and even affected the situation of the entire Jianghu. - To expand the development and changes of the sect For example, the Beggar's Sect in Jin Yong's novels could undergo a huge change in a new Wuxia story. Due to the rise of new commercial forces in the game, Beggar's Sect's begging method of survival was impacted. The Sect Leader of Beggar's Sect had no choice but to seek a new path of development. He might cooperate with some commercial sects to jointly develop new industries, such as bodyguard agencies, which would lead to conflicts between the traditional forces and the revolutionary forces in Beggar's Sect. 2. ** Creation based on the original Jianghu structure ** - It was based on the opposition between good and evil in Jin Yong's novels. For example, in the new wuxia novels, the evil forces were no longer just fighting for martial arts manuals or dominating the world. Instead, they had more complicated purposes, such as colluding with external border forces in an attempt to overthrow the regime of the Central Plains. Righteous sects needed to protect the country while maintaining justice in the martial world. This made the struggle between good and evil more complicated, involving many factors such as politics and nationality. - It was a continuation of the geographical division of Jianghu in Jin Yong's novels. For example, the Central Plains and the Western Regions. The new novel could set the setting of a mysterious martial arts school in the Western Regions. The martial arts of this school were very strange. After the Chinese martial artists heard about it, the various schools sent their disciples to the Western Regions to explore. This triggered a series of stories about cultural exchanges, martial arts competition, and the re-arrangement of the martial arts forces. ###3. Plot 1. ** Continue the story after the classic plot ** - For example, after the end of The Return of the Condor Heroes, he could continue Guo Xiang's story. Guo Xiang had founded Emei Sect because her love for Yang Guo was fruitless, but after she established the sect, she still cared about Yang Guo. In the new novel, Guo Xiang discovered some ancient secrets related to Ancient Tomb Sect and Quan Zhen Sect while searching for Yang Guo. These secrets might threaten the safety of the entire Chinese server. Guo Xiang revealed the contradiction between her chivalrous feelings and love when she chose to continue searching for Yang Guo or protect the Chinese server. - Using the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre as the foundation, he continued to write the story of Zhang Wuji's abdication. After Zhang Wuji abdicated, there was a power struggle within the Ming Cult. The new cult master tried to change the image of the Ming Cult in the martial world, from an organization that was seen as a " demonic cult " to a righteous sect recognized by the martial world. However, this process did not go smoothly. It was resisted by many of the old forces in Jianghu. At the same time, there were also some extreme forces within the Ming Cult who attempted to return to the reckless style of doing things in the past. This triggered a series of stories surrounding the reform of the Ming Cult. 2. ** Reenact the classic plot ** - It re-narrated the classic martial arts competition plot in Jin Yong's novels. For example, re-enact the Huashan Sword Seminar. In the new wuxia novel, the Sword Duel at Mount Hua was no longer just about fighting for the title of " the best in the world ". It was about solving the problem of the ownership of the antidote formula for a mysterious poison in the martial arts world. Because this poison was spread by a mysterious organization in Jianghu, only through the rules of the Huashan Sword Seminary could the winner get the antidote formula and save the people in Jianghu. This gave the classic plot a new meaning and urgency. - Rewriting the treasure-hunting plot in Jin Yong's novel. For example, the forty-two chapters of The Deer and the Cauldron could be rewritten. In the new story, the 42-chapter sutra no longer hid the secret of the Qing Dynasty's dragon vein, but a peerless martial arts cultivation method that could change the structure of the martial arts world. In order to obtain the 42 chapters, the various forces launched a soul-stirring struggle. Wei Xiaobao used his wit and cunning to deal with the various forces and constantly change the situation of the struggle. Read more exciting novels for free
