Chapter 613: Guhuo Bird From Dragon Country
Leisurely, really leisurely.
It's not that I don't take Endo Ma seriously.
In fact, Luoyang stayed up late last night to finish "The Bloody Corridor". After finishing it, Luoyang felt a little unsatisfied.
This "The Bloody Corridor" is indeed Endo Ma's masterpiece. The clues of the case and the detective's unraveling are all very attractive, giving full play to the suspenseful atmosphere in the mystery novel, making people can't help but think about what the answer is.
And in the end, this "The Bloody Corridor" used a shocking turn to completely reveal the mystery of the story!
This writing method is quite similar to the structure of a mystery novel called "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Falling" that Luoyang had read before, and it is more complete and well done, with almost no flaws. No wonder everyone was worried about Teacher Theking.
Even Luoyang himself was worried about Teacher Theking...
Hey, I almost forgot that Luoyang himself is Teacher Theking, so Luoyang wiped his sweat.
The worry did not last long, because Luoyang was full of confidence in his new work.
His literary work is called "Summer of Guhuo Bird". Speaking of Guhuo Bird, many people may subconsciously think that it is a product of Japan.
After all, Japan likes to quote this kind of mysterious myths and legends. For example, a game called "Onmyoji" has a character based on Guhuo Bird, and Guhuo Bird sounds quite difficult to pronounce, and it does feel a bit strange. Even many Japanese think that Guhuo Bird comes from their country.
But in fact, many people don’t know that the mythical creature Guhuo Bird is a real Chinese fellow.
Because Guhuo Bird is a monster from the ancient Chinese Han mythology and legends, sometimes it appears in the form of nine heads.
It is also called Guiche Bird, and its common name is Jiutou Bird. It is the youngest daughter of Zhuanxu, the great-grandson of the Northern Emperor of Heaven and the Yellow Emperor. When she turned into a bird, she had ten heads. She liked to rob people’s children. One day, she was bitten off one head by a dog for some reason, and since then she has only nine heads.
Zhuanxu was very unpopular at the beginning, so this myth also means a fancy black Zhuanxu.
The origin of Guhuo Bird is also mentioned in "Strange Talks". It is said that it was transformed from the obsession of a dead woman who walked at night with a baby in her arms. The crying of the baby in her arms turned into the cry of Guhuo Bird. There are also sayings that Guhuo Bird sometimes turns into Xiahuo Bird. Guhuo Bird takes the child away, and Xiahuo Bird adopts the child.
There are still many sayings about Guhuo Bird.
In the Edo period, that is, from the 17th to the 19th century in Japan, the saying of Guhuo Bird spread to Japan. It happened that Japan was rising in the study of names and things at that time, which was to match Chinese words with Japanese words, so Guhuo Bird was carried forward in Japan!
In fact, there are many Chinese things that have been forgotten by the Chinese themselves, but carried forward by other countries. This is also quite embarrassing.
This mystery masterpiece called "Summer of the Gyuto" was born after the Gyuto was introduced to Japan. The author is Kyogoku Natsuhiko, a top Japanese mystery writer.
Speaking of Kyogoku Natsuhiko, his status in the mystery world is actually not much different from that of Keigo Higashino. It's just that because "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "White Night Walk" are more popular in China, many people don't know Kyogoku Natsuhiko as deeply as Keigo Higashino.
Of course, there is another reason, that there are too many popular sciences about Japanese culture in Kyogoku Natsuhiko's works.
Chinese people like to read mystery stories. If you have too much popular science about culture, who would want to read it? So this makes Kyogoku Natsuhiko not so famous in China.
But in fact, Kyogoku Natsuhiko's mystery novel style can be described as gorgeous and extremely powerful. He was even once hailed as the most likely Japanese mystery novelist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature!
Of course, mystery novels are not favored by Nobel literature just like science fiction novels, so throughout history, there are still no mystery novels that can win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In a sense, mystery novels are worse than science fiction novels.
But it doesn't matter, because mystery novels, like science fiction, have extremely high sales all over the world.
After all, the commercial value contained in mystery and science fiction novels is higher than those books on philosophy and human nature, and the audience is also wider!
Therefore, Kyogoku Natsuhiko, who is known as the most likely Japanese mystery novelist to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, is undoubtedly a master. This masterpiece "Summer of the Birds" is also a very important part of his creative career.
That year, "Summer of the Birds" caused a sensation in the Japanese mystery literary world as soon as it was published!
Later, "Summer of the Birds" was not only adapted into a comic book, but also, like "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "White Night Walk", under its fame, the copyright was purchased by a film and television company and adapted into a movie of the same name, and its influence continued to ferment.
Some people say that "Summer of the Birds" is the most reasonable weird novel.
Some people say that "Summer of the Birds" is the most bizarre and strange new orthodox reasoning.
This classic, which combines incredible mysteries and strange legends, blends the dialectic of name and reality with the uncertainty theorem, and is both weird and rational. The gorgeous and endless dialectics in the book have an overwhelming charm, and it is a true masterpiece in the field of reasoning.
By the way, "Summer of the Gyuto" is also the opportunity for the establishment of the Mephistopheles Award, Japan's top reasoning award!
This work can be regarded as the 0th winner of the Mephisto Award and the first of the famous "Kyogokudo" series of mystery novels. This honor is extremely rare.
What's more interesting is that the protagonist of this work is an Onmyoji. Many people may think that Onmyoji is native to Japan, but in fact, Onmyoji also originated from the Onmyoji of the Warring States Period in China. They are proficient in Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Qimen Dunjia, etc., and later introduced to Japan, similar to Chinese Taoist priests.
They can read Feng Shui, exorcise demons, and more mysteriously, it is said that they can subdue the defeated demons and collect them as their own Shikigami to help them fight, which is similar to a certain game of NetEase.
In this work, the protagonist's ability is certainly not so mysterious. The protagonist Akihiko Nakazenji, known as "Kyogokudo", can solve the case by using extensive folklore knowledge, complex psychological knowledge, and meticulous reasoning ability.
Relying on these extremely scientific methods, the protagonist solved the truth of a series of seemingly incredible events that occurred in the Kuonji Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.
This "Summer of the Gyuto" can be said to have pioneered the unique "monster-type" reasoning in Japan. After many years, it is still talked about with great relish. Luoyang can be so leisurely because he has great confidence in this "Summer of the Gyuto".
And on the second day of Luoyang's leisurely day.
Theking teacher's new work "Summer of the Gyuto" has finally landed in major bookstores in Japan, blowing a demon wind in the mystery literary world!
