■ The main pen of Jinghe Laboratory: Wildflowers

First of all, fate-fledgling

"Little plum, ambitious, want to learn sword fairy, ascend to heaven; I don't wake up in the morning and I am happy in my dreams every day. "

-"The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man" is a dream hero.

In the face of time, all dreams, all things that don't want to get old, are vulnerable.

Maybe a good game shouldn't go by as time goes by, and something really valuable can still cross the background to impress people in another time and space. Like an altar of old wine that has been dusty for a long time, it has come today and is still mellow for a long time.

In the game history of nearly 10 years, it seems that no China game has conquered players in every corner so quickly and decisively as Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man. "You can't refuse Xianjian, just like you can't refuse love. Before the sword, no game can make me cry. " In the post of a fairy sword forum, a veteran player is still immersed in those moving game moments today after 8 years.

In the minds of most players, "Xian Jian" is a carrier, but it carries not only a player's simple dream of realizing chivalry in the game, but also the beautiful and sad emotions that run through it from beginning to end, which makes "Xian Jian" have a unique charm. Those touching feelings of "Where are you going?" suddenly welled up in my heart and became unforgettable feelings for a long time.

"Fairy Sword" is also a kind of complex, which represents the players' infinite feelings for those lost emotions and lost years. In the past few years, all kinds of games, like colorful fashions, have been crushed to ashes by the ship of time in an instant and become eternal passers-by in memory. During this period, if there is any game that can remind people of the past years, the legend of the sword and the chivalrous man must be one of them.

"Strictly speaking, Xianjian is not a simple China martial arts game, it is more like a folk myth and legend, which contains rich humanistic and emotional legends." Today, eight years later, Mr. Yao Zhuangxian, the game producer known as "the father of the sword", is still deeply touched when he talks about his most proud game works. Facing the reporter, "Xian Jian" seems to be an endless topic. The production of Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man began at 1993. After Taiwan Province Daewoo Company produced a game called Monopoly 2, Yao Zhuangxian decided to try to make a Chinese role-playing game (RPG) that he had never set foot in.

According to Mr. Yao Zhuangxian's thinking, the earliest positioning of Fairy Sword is the theme of historical martial arts, with the Anshi Rebellion as the background; The script is very big, with history, monsters and martial arts. Later, I found that such a game could never be played. So I changed it several times. A year later, Yao Zhuangxian discovered a theme about "human face". So all the previous ones were torn down and the historical background was removed. If we say that a person not only has script, planning, character image design, main program, game map and monster design, but also writes most of the poems and songs in the game, which shows that Mr. Yao Zhuangxian is knowledgeable and skilled, then he finally insists on designing the heroine to die in the game, which reflects Yao Zhuangxian's spirit of being brave in breakthrough and anti-tradition, and also leaves the most impressive player in the game, becoming the heaviest stroke in the classics of the years.

Talking about the three heroines, Yao Zhuangxian told reporters: "When colleagues saw the first edition of Zhao Linger, they all said,' Huh? "Isn't this Sun Xiaomei?" In The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man, she gained weight again, without empty inspiration. Lin Yueru's name has been mentioned by others, but I can't remember whose friend he is, and I have never met him. There is a noble family in the Lin family mansion in Taiwan Province Province. The name "Lin" sounds like a big family, and the word "Lin" itself is more elegant. Other people's names are chosen according to their personality after imagining many kinds. For example, Zhao Linger's name must have a word "spirit" to highlight her personality background and characteristics. "

"Anu's story seems a little thin in the whole game?" The reporter asked.

"Because I can't finish reading it, the plot of Anu has been cut a lot. Due to the reduction of the plot, her age has also decreased by several years, but it is not a bad thing. Judging from the response caused by the current game, an overly lengthy plot may be redundant. "

When the reporter asked Mr Yao which of the three heroines you like best, he smiled and said, "They represent the images of three girls in my mind, so I like them all." In fact, in earlier media reports, the motive of making Xian Jian was largely due to an unsuccessful emotional experience of Yao Zhuangxian. Today, eight years later, when the reporter sought the answer with the same question, Yao Zhuangxian denied this statement. "It should be said that the imperfect emotional experience happened in the middle of the game, and it was a secret love that didn't even have the courage to speak. At that time, I was full of pessimism about life, which should be said to be the motive for making the tragic ending of the game. "

After two years and four months, 15 people participated in the production of this DOS game, which was written in assembly language as the bottom QBASIC at that time. Neither producers nor players expected that it would still have such a far-reaching impact eight years after its launch: up to now, the cumulative sales of various DOS, Windows and game consoles have exceeded 1 10,000 units; Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man has been ranked in the top three of popular software games for six consecutive years. The new game cycle changes, but the popularity of Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man remains unchanged, and Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man II is expected to reach the extreme. ...

Behind this influence, Li Xiaoyao, the protagonist of the game, began to walk out of the small fishing village near the sea in Yuhang County, walking in the rivers and lakes as a rookie with the same dream as producer Yao Zhuangxian, accompanying countless players to realize one dream after another in the game. ...

Second, it's hard to restrain yourself if you have deep feelings-the emotional impact of The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man

"The flute in the green valley sounds, and the crane flies high; In the past, blowing in the wind joined hands with Yunfeng Yinxian Township. "

-Yungu Hefeng

The birth of a hero must have the soil to cultivate him. About the love of heroes, some people are either because of money, some because of looks, some because of admiration, and some because of wishful unrequited love. ...

As a matter of fact, Li Xiaoyao's leap from a little-known fishing village teenager to a hero in the Jianghu is indeed objective and inevitable, and the subjective setting is also reasonable. In the Jianghu defined by China's martial arts fantasy novel, nine times out of ten, after a hero, there will be another hero. If Li Xiaoyao can still be so embodied in martial arts novels, it is not difficult to understand why he became famous. He is very talented, and his parents and aunt used to be all-powerful figures. He will succeed as long as he gets a little advice from a famous teacher with bole ability. As a result, by chance, he met the Nine Sword Immortals of Shushan Sword School. Li Xiaoyao's parents died long ago, and his aunt took him to live in seclusion, so the concept of Jianghu has no influence on him. Since ancient times, there have been many talents in Jiangnan. Li Xiaoyao is young and frivolous, high-spirited, and feels that there is nothing to do, and he is daydreaming about heroes all day; His parents' fame and amazing achievements made him regard them as role models. If his art goes downhill all day, he will take care of injustice, kill bad guys (demons) and take ill-gotten gains. The process of parents' acquaintance and the title of "immortal hero" made him look forward to the romantic love at first sight, rather than the traditional marriage of worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping Gaotang. The above three points determine Li Xiaoyao's position in the story, as well as his love experience in the process of wandering the Jianghu. As an ordinary person, his early chivalry is more manifested in his help and consideration for girls. He is just a hero in the eyes of girls. At this time, "Xia" can only be expressed as "righteousness". Finally, he saved the world from the quagmire and truly fulfilled a chivalrous meaning. In Li's feelings, what he misses is his parents' life and the words of the matchmaker. At first, it was because of fame, and later it was sublimated into love because of kindness; Lin Yueru is half traditional and half romantic, and "fighting swords and rivers is beautiful"; There is something unintentional with Anu, saying Anu has unrequited love.

As far as the story of The Fairy Sword is concerned, the love between Zhao Linger and Li Xiaoyao is a classic and a model. Li Xiaoyao's feelings for Zhao Linger, from eating "A Girl Without Sorrow" given by Miao people to Nuwa's original son Zhao Linger being rescued by Yao Zhentie Tower, are completely in a vague state. In his mind, the chivalrous free life should not be bound by the lives of both parents prematurely, although the affair on Fairy Island made him feel like a spring breeze, and forgetting his troubles was actually an excuse for this idea in his mind. However, Zhao Linger always treats her lover sincerely. Even after pregnancy, she suffered frequent disasters and spared no expense to maintain her life in the body. In the story, Zhao Linger didn't know her mother's double misfortune in marriage and love at first, but just like Wu Zetian didn't disappoint her husband, all her performances didn't disappoint the word "love". In many experiences, her care, trust and dependence on Li Xiaoyao are still the same as before, and Li Xiaoyao's memory in the town demon tower has revived and her true feelings have been revealed, so she really accepted this feeling in her heart-traditional things are not necessarily bad, after all, the essence of true love is the most worth cherishing, and what form is not so important. Although Zhao Linger in "The Demon Tower in Town" showed his true colors and was in prison, he really felt the deep and strong love of the other side, the so-called "lifelong support", and then he suffered ten times, and he had no regrets. As for Zhao Linger, at the end of the story, it is a tragic ending of the skill of the Holy Spirit and the mutual destruction of water and Warcraft. Rather, she assumed the responsibility of the Nuwa clan, saved the creatures in the scenic spot and sacrificed her life for the peace of mankind. Praise for these big scenes is always less appropriate than the explanation of the true feelings between children. "Ask the world what love is that makes people commit suicide", and Zhao Linger always responds to Li Xiaoyao's true feelings with the meaning of "repaying kindness". "The kindness of dripping water, caring for each other" is the virtue of China people since ancient times, and "the covenant of three generations" is the creed of ancient women in China. Despite its limitations, in Zhao Linger's concept, Lin Yueru treated himself like a sister, and there was no bad blood. In order to save herself and Li Xiaoyao from being killed by a broken wall, she was heartbroken; After everyone saw the soul of Wu Zetian in the White Temple, Zhao Linger learned that Li Xiaoyao had helped himself inexplicably when he was a child (of course, whether this was a game set by Wu Zetian to test Li Xiaoyao is unknown), so how much he sacrificed for his lover and future generations was out of consideration. Although the situation at that time was that only her death could win everyone's life, Zhao Linger was more out of love for her husband and daughter than her mother's righteous words. Because Lin Yueru has done it, she can do it, and she must do it ... It's sad and sad, but the state of "love" has reached its peak. Although there are countless regrets, players should not have forcibly changed this ending.

In Li Xiaoyao's mind, Lin Yueru is probably the most suitable object for his parents to be an "immortal hero". It's just that she doesn't follow the rules. Born in a Wulin family, his father Lin Tiannan is the leader of Jiangnan Wulin. It is precisely because the charming girl is martial that she has an unruly character. Li Xiaoyao may not be the best object for Lin Yueru, but it is the most ideal object. Lin Yueru's role is the image of a Jianghu woman, and her and Li Xiaoyao's performance in the story are typical chivalrous couples. Mainly because she has a strong personality and doesn't rely on Li Xiaoyao like Zhao Linger. The two girls complement each other completely. For the whole game, Lin Yueru's simple and honest personality and bold style are the embellishment and reappearance of the chivalrous society in ancient China by different women, and also the reasonable product of martial arts culture and supernatural culture. Beneath her fiery personality lies a gentle and tolerant heart. Lin Yueru belongs to the type of "do it first, then say it", and expresses his feelings only through words and deeds. Although he is young, his attitude towards people and things does not match his age. Because of Li Xiaoyao's deep affection for Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru felt that "such a person deserves to be entrusted for life". When the three of us travel around the world, Li Xiaoyao's feelings always waver between two people. When we arrived in Beijing, we finally said to Yueru, "When I find Linger and finish everything, we will go sightseeing together, see all the beautiful scenery on earth and eat all the delicious food on earth." It seems obvious that Li Xiaoyao's favorite promise is Lin Yueru. It was not until Lin Yueru's death that Li Xiaoyao realized Lin Yueru's emotional understanding, support and tolerance, and as always, he gave full support on Jianghu Road. Unfortunately, it is too late. ...

Anu is the daughter of the leader of Bai Miao nationality in Miao area, and is considered to have status. In the ancient martial arts world, scenic spots belong to the "barbarian land" and have always been despised by the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. Even if Li Xiaoyao doesn't have the concept of hierarchical sect, it's a bit out of place to like her. In the story, Li Xiaoyao treats Anu like a brother and sister. He is a friend in need, not a confidante. And Li Xiaoyao's later performance can also be seen that his mind is no longer in love. Under the mutation, it is entirely possible for people's minds to change. Even if Anu fell in love with Li Xiaoyao, it was just a heartless unrequited love. The situation in the story is that there was constant war in the scenic spot at that time, and everyone was on the verge of life and death, and it was even more impossible to have leisure to talk about love. At the end of the story, Li Xiaoyao lost two lovers and was heartbroken. Everything in the world has lost its meaning, and Anu can only send you away by playing piccolo. In this case, we can only answer with the word "fate" after sighing. It was not Li Xiaoyao who gave her fickle love, nor was it Anu's ruthlessness. It is really fate. Anu only appeared as an ornament in Li Xiaoyao's chivalrous journey. In the later period of the story of "The Sword", she joined the combat team, but it was difficult to replace Lin Yueru's position in this small group. It is unfair to say that Mr. Yao Zhuangxian deliberately arranged it as a compensation for Li Xiaoyao's feelings. Zhao Linger is the queen of the White Temple and the wife of Li Xiaoyao, so Anu is not competitive in all aspects. Dare to love and hate, but not as distinctive as Lin Yueru. In Li Xiaoyao's mind, he is a "good friend" at most. In addition, Li Xiaoyao's character, shaped by chivalrous culture, was badly hurt after two emotional changes, and it was difficult for him to love the third woman again. It makes sense that Anu didn't get much ink in the story.

This is an era when heroes are not needed.

If, like China's martial arts RPG in those days, the theme was simply to create game heroes, there would undoubtedly be no such far-reaching influence as "Fairy Sword" today.

This is an era that needs emotion.

Love is the most romantic and warm word in human language. For thousands of years, people have been exploring the profound meaning of love, giving it all kinds of great and lofty missions, and at the same time painting it with beautiful poetic color. In the minds of players, when they gradually get rid of the shackles of blood, violence, fighting and pornography, the emotions in the game have become the softest comfort in people's hearts as never before.

Before Fairy Sword, China's RPG game gave people an epic feeling, and love and friendship were just one of them. Similar to most people's point of view, in Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man, emotion became the theme of the game for the first time, and it was repeatedly considered by later producers as a magic candy that could change the fate of traditional RPG in China.

In fact, in many stories of "Fairy Sword", the main emotional lines have been paved. Both the servant couple who eloped to Lin Yueru's home and Han Mengci's husband who became a monk are waiting hard. The peach girl in the peach forest is attached to mortals, the butterfly fairy is attached to Liu Jinyuan, and even the feelings between the villain snake demon and fox fairy in the snake cave are actually the same as Li Zhao, but with different endings. As far as Turning into a Butterfly is concerned, Liu Jinyuan saved the butterfly because it was beautiful and fragile (trapped by a spider's web). Cai Yi thanked her for her kindness and thanked her at all costs. The end result is that Liu Jinyuan knows nothing about others. If the reason of his carnal eye can still be established, Cai Yi's last move can only make people cry. As we all know, this is the most powerful place of "Fairy Sword": it is difficult to restrain yourself if you are deeply emotional, and players can be moved by feelings, lament the impermanence of the world and reposition their attitude towards life. It is not gathering, but parting, thus arousing players to cherish the true feelings. This is the true meaning of "tenderness" in "Fairy Sword".

Perhaps this is why many people revisit the legend of the sword and the chivalrous man again and again. Although Li Xiaoyao finally failed to join hands with her confidante the legendary swordsman, the love in The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man is almost hard to find in this materialistic world-heartbreaking and almost perfect. Being in the legend of the fairy sword and the chivalrous man is like escaping from the jungle of reinforced concrete, disturbing the noisy city, wandering in the valley of the green hills with white cranes vibrating their feathers and enjoying the rivers and lakes; Experience the hero's chivalrous tenderness in the surging passion of "Jianghu vying for beauty", "Wandering around the stars and playing the sun and the moon, laughing among the drunken clouds"

The tragic ending of The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man is also unexpected, but it is it that adds the most colorful stroke to the whole game. Although there are not so many unforgettable memories in life, in the face of the fate of time and space, we are so helpless that we can only go through different roads with our loved ones and let the past roll in our memories.

When The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man had a hidden ending to prevent Zhao Linger and Lin Yueru from dying, this rumor began to spread on the Internet. I don't know how many players stayed up all night for this, just to let them spend a wonderful month with Li Xiaoyao. But this is just a rumor. Players hate the rumor mongers for smearing the perfection in their hearts, and they even complain that the producer Yao Zhuangxian has a heart of stone. They finally understand that tragedy cannot be changed. The sinking of Titanic led Jack and Rose to different paths, and the family feud between Romeo and Juliet made them where will you go. Tragedy can touch people's heartstrings precisely because the regrets they bring will never satisfy the audience and will last for a long time. Perhaps the fate of the protagonist in the story cannot be changed, but it will become eternal in people's inner time and space. Love is the eternal theme of mankind. In the works of fanatics, the legend of the fairy sword and the chivalrous man vividly interprets the word "love" Anyone who was moved by the legend of the sword and the chivalrous man either found his own shadow in the game, or the game overlapped with his own vision, so he was deeply moved.

Yes, maybe we don't worship the legend of the sword and the chivalrous man, but we only worship love.

Third, the origin-historical textual research of Xianjian culture

"Royal sword with wind, in addition to the magic between heaven and earth. I'm happy with wine, but I'm crazy without it.

Drink it all at once, then swallow the sun and the moon. A thousand cups are not drunk, I am a wine sword fairy. "

-Jiu Jianxian

Fairy Sword is a game, and Fairy Sword is also a legend. During the game, do players feel that there are many familiar stories? In fact, these plots all come from familiar folklore and allusions, which can be perfectly integrated into the game "Fairy Sword", enough to reflect the master demeanor of fanatics. When a game contains too many myths and allusions, it has risen to a cultural height, and its cultural tradition has a deep origin with people who love it, edifying the players. Fairy Sword focuses on the myth and culture of Yu Dacheng. In the story of the game, we not only see the hero's shortness of breath, but also vaguely see the loyalty of Liang Zhu, the bitterness of White Snake and Xu Xian, and also see the soaring of the imperial sword of Shushan and the compassion of Buddhism.

The music and poetry of "Fairy Sword" is also one of the symbols that players can't forget, and the perfect combination of all these in the game makes "Fairy Sword" recognized by players again for its unique charm in China culture.

It can be said that the uniqueness of Xianjian is related to its profound traditional cultural background in China. In this world of antique games that truly belongs to China people, no one can understand Sanwei except ourselves.

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger met because Aunt Li suddenly became seriously ill, and there was no medicine to cure her (it seems that Aunt Li was not suffering from ordinary acute appendicitis and other diseases). What shall we do? Li Xiaoyao heard the villagers' legend about the fairy island elixir, so he decided to go to the fairy island to get the medicine. In ancient legends, the elixir of life is a cure for all diseases-there is no way. With the development of modern medicine, there are still many intractable diseases, and the ancients naturally have nothing to do but pin their hopes on the elusive sacred and immortal Buddha. Li Xiaoyao lives in a small fishing village near the sea in Yuhang County. Since the Warring States period, people in coastal areas have had a strong ideological consciousness of seeking immortals, mountains and medicines from overseas. In particular, Zou Yan and other five elements of Yin and Yang advocate that there are nine continents besides China, and there are many beautiful places overseas. So the overseas world was covered with a mysterious veil, and ordinary people didn't say anything. Even Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu out to sea to look for the elixir. And the story of asking for fairy medicine for relatives is also common in our legends. In the well-known story "The Legend of the White Snake", in order to cure Xu Xian, the white snake went to Xianshan to get Ganoderma lucidum, and finally became one with the generals in heaven, almost never returning; In the story of the goddess the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, in order to satisfy Chang 'e's desire to live forever on earth, Hou Yi went through hardships, climbed the peak that ordinary people could not climb, and obtained the elixir of life from the Queen Mother of Kunlun Mountain. By contrast, Li Xiaoyao is really much luckier. He not only got back the elixir of life, but also met a beautiful woman by accident. Judging from the above story, the thing to ask for fairy medicine is "sincerity is the spirit."

"Beauty is like a moon, and your name is free and unfettered;

I was deeply in my heart yesterday, and he was in a dream at night. "

-"Don't be sad"

Li Xiaoyao was forced to marry Zhao Linger by her grandmother. One of the reasons is that he saw Zhao Linger taking a bath-in ancient times, the innocence of his daughter's family was more important than her life. How dare you be irresponsible for stealing nude photos of my daughter? However, compared with the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl who can only face each other across the Tianhe River, Li Xiaoyao really doesn't know whether it is lucky or more unfortunate. He met a grandmother who was more reasonable than the Queen Mother of the West. He didn't cross the Milky Way to stop their love, but took the initiative to fulfill this marriage, and the Cowherd will definitely be jealous. But in the end, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger lived and died in different ways and never met. They are much happier than the cowherd and weaver girl who were together last year.

Competing for marriage

Related allusions: Legend of the Condor Heroes, Legend of Yue and Yang Jiajiang.

"Free and unfettered battle righteousness meddling, told it to the hostile judge;

In order to understand the old enmity, invite relatives to compete in the ring. "

-"Marriage Competition"

The marriage between Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru was realized through a story that people have been talking about since ancient times-a marriage contest. In fact, in ancient times, men and women were not close, and it was not easy for a strange man to get close to a woman, so these amazing courtship methods came into being. Young men and women in Shan Ye courted with folk songs, and ladies from powerful families could set up a balcony to throw hydrangeas. Where are our Jianghu children? Of course, it is a marriage contest! Almost every love story can be a classic. The most famous courtship story happened in Jin Yong's Legend of the Condor Heroes. Yang Kang, a fickle lover, wants to be irresponsible after winning the championship by choosing a spouse. Although he finally had Mu Nianci in his heart, judging from their ending, the marriage was a failure. Obviously, fighting for marriage is extremely risky. If you just compete for strength, who knows what kind of husband you will attract? In the old martial arts novels after the feudal dynasty, White, who is famous for "Twelve Money Darts", wrote about competing for marriage, but it attracted local ruffians, which made the woman cry and the old man regretted it. This description is realistic. It clearly tells us that not every time we hold a competition to get married, it will lead to a fascinating story. Of course, China people are still romantic by nature, and we would rather believe that every girl can get a happy ending. So we can still see a happy story of fighting for marriage in many literary works. For example, the traditional storytelling "Xue Gang Anti-Tang" and "Yue Biography" and so on. Among the film works, there are Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu starring Jet Li and The Lion Roar, which was very popular a few days ago. Finally, I can't help but mention the most legendary story of a matchmaking contest: in the 7th century, there were five chaos in China. At the end of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the famous minister Dou Yi wanted a young hero to get married for her daughter. A young aristocrat dominated the pack and became the husband of Dou Nv. This handsome guy is Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"Don't be obsessed with tears, you will only complain for a long time;

-"Butterfly Love"

Among a large number of supporting roles in "Fairy Sword", some people's love stories are no less than several protagonists. Needless to say, nature is a wonderful butterfly that people cannot put down. Caiyi was originally a butterfly. Because Liu Jinyuan saved her from the cobwebs, she became a human being and married Liu Jinyuan to repay her kindness. Finally, she devoted a thousand years to protecting Liu Jinyuan. In The Legend of China, the tragic love story between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai ended in become a butterfly. The story of demon fairy's gratitude is also recorded in our folklore, such as Sanwei, Feng Menglong's Shi Jing Tongyan, Jiao Jing's gratitude, and Talepool, a Mongolian hunter. Looking through Tai Ping Guang Ji, there are many similar stories. Similar to "Fairy Sword", there is also a Duan Long woman who thanked Liu Yi. Liu Yi, a scholar, helped the Dragon Lady, who married him and made Liu Yi enjoy the blessing of immortality. Of course, there are more legends that we players are familiar with. For example, Xiao Cui, the fox fairy in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, was blessed by a man because her mother married Wang Dementia's son on a thunderous night, and finally cured her illness. I can't help but mention the love story that happened when the white snake repaid her kindness in The Legend of the White Snake. Because Xu Xian saved the white snake several generations ago, the white snake later became a monk and went down to marry Xu Xian under the pseudonym of White Snake, but was finally crushed by Fahai under the Leifeng Tower. The first half of this classic legend borrowed the story of Caiyi, but the second half was replaced by another flower, which was placed on Zhao Linger, who was also a snake demon. Do you think that stubborn blade master looks like Fahai? Zhenyao Tower and Leifeng Tower have just changed their names. It's really interesting that the legend of the white snake and the fairy sword are inextricably linked. In these stories, demon fairy showed some common excellent qualities, such as kindness, honesty and sacrifice, which were much more noble than some cunning and fierce human beings. However, there is no absolute thing in the world. Xianjian also created a kind of gratitude different from demon fairy's, that is, the ghosts and gods in the town demon tower. Ironically, he repaid the debt by eating Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru.

The six divisions in Karma Wheel are Buddhist generalizations of the universe and biosphere. The so-called six sentient beings, life and death in these six kinds of reincarnation, endless. Six sentient beings, also known as the "sentient world", are divided into heaven, earth, Asura, beast, hungry ghost and hell. No matter from the main plot of monster setting, fate reincarnation and karma, the Fairy Sword indirectly reflects the Buddhist point of view. In the game, the most obvious plot that embodies Buddhist thought is the part in the Jade Buddha Temple where the young monk Zhize (actually transformed by the mage Fozhu) forces people to become monks. Although its starting point is in line with the saying in Buddhist scriptures that "everyone has Buddha nature and helps others", its behavior is extreme, which runs counter to the saying in Buddhist scriptures that "self-denial, compassion and helping others", and finally it turns into a jade Buddha bead under the enlightenment of Zhao Linger.

-Inscription on the temple

In this inscription, some legends about Nu Wa's crossing over are told. "Fairy Sword" did not create some strange gods, but borrowed classic myths and legends, which made people feel familiar. Nu Wa is a "snakehead, seventy times a day". Apart from Nu Wa, in ancient China mythology, many important gods have the image of a snake with a human face, including Fuxi, Shennong and Gonggong. In the legends of ancient clans and tribes, Nu Wa was the creator of human beings and a great god who helped the world. Clan tribes living in ancient times could not live without their own leaders, such as Fuxi and Nuwa. Even this name can be inherited and become the exclusive name of tribal leaders, that is to say, there are several generations of Fuxi Nuwa. Zhao Linger and her mother are also the leaders of the Bai Miao people in the game. In the game, players can see Zhao Linger become a snake with a human head (and the skill of "dream snake") more than once. In reality, snakes are not uncommon as totems worshipped by a certain tribe. The important totem of the ancient Vietnamese was a snake, which later evolved into their god. Wu Zhenfang in Qing Dynasty said in Miscellanies of Lingnan: "There is a snake god in Chaozhou, which looks like Guannan and is called Tiandi. There are snakes in the niche. .....
