The real case of Lian Huaqing (what is the origin of the river demon Lian Huaqing)

Say goodbye to three years, two online dramas can't finish reading half of Muye Zhang's manuscript! In the summer of 20 17, the first season of the online drama of the same name, which was adapted from Muye Zhang's original novel River God, ended in iQiyi. I still remember the sentence: "See you in the rivers and lakes!" Now, after three years, the river god is back!

From July 6, 2020, the second season of the online drama "River God" was exclusively broadcast on the whole network. "There are nine cows, two tigers and one chicken, and the river god is a demon in the sea." The official poster released in advance of the online drama "River God" series seems to have hidden mystery, causing heated discussion among netizens. Fans of the original author Muye Zhang are more concerned about: when will the online drama "River God 2" be released soon, and when will the book version of "River God 2" be released?

It is understood that Muye Zhang does have the will to continue writing the story of River God, and River God: Exotic Monty has been included in the catalogue of all works at the end of Muye Zhang's recent work, and the status is "to be published".

However, the online drama "River God 2" released in 2020 is still based on the published "River God", not the "River God: Exotic Monty" created by Muye Zhang. The "nine cows, two tigers and one chicken" hidden in the official poster of River God 2 also comes from the article "Wu Laoxian's Garden Adventure" in the fifth chapter of River God.

It's just that the story of catching demons in the Yin-Yang River uses two online dramas, River God and River God 2. This article will answer in detail how many wonderful contents are in Muye Zhang's book.

What is the difference between the online drama version and the book version? leading part

On the basis of Muye Zhang's original novel, the script of the online drama "River God" has made a new treatment of the main characters and story context. In the book, Guo Deyou, Ding Mao and Si Er, the "river gods", have all been preserved, but they are younger. In the book, the male characters Guo Deyou, Ding Mao and Li Daleng are all "iron triangles", and Li Daleng is replaced by the female character "little witch" Gu Ying; Xiao's role in this online drama is not in the book either, but in the book, Guo Deyou married a virtuous and housekeeping wife Liu. In addition, the online drama has also adapted the identity of the supporting role to better meet the overall younger setting.

Online drama version:

He is unwilling to inherit the business of the Chamber of Commerce and devote himself to tracing the case of killing his father.

Cause of incident

At the beginning of the whole story, there are similarities between the online drama version and the book version, but some characters are replaced.

Online drama version:

Book version:

The next day, another female corpse was fished out of the river, covered with "green hair". It is said that the deceased was the mother and son of Miss Shi Jia who ran away from home more than ten years ago.

Event process

In the process of solving strange cases, online drama greatly simplifies the content of the original work. The first season of the online drama mainly tells the story of Guo Deyou, the "river god", uncovering the secret of the ancient cult road hidden in Tianjinwei and looking for the story that the "river demon" turned green behind the scenes; This book tells the story of Guo Deyou's legendary life spanning several decades through two major cases, namely, the case of the body sinking in Sanchahekou (that is, the part about the magical ancient road and lotus love in the online drama) and the case of the haunted house in Liang Fang Hutong.

Online drama version:

Lian Huaqing discovered that the source of ancient magic virus-the source of evil water-was a poisonous underground deep pool. Lian Huaqing plans to blow up the water pool and infect all of Tianjin. Guo Deyou jumps into poisonous water to save Tianjin. ...

Guo Deyou decided to arrest Lian Huaqing. With the investigation, a series of mysterious murders were implicated.

For the important details that are not clear in the online drama, find the answers in the book (1). What is "nine cows, two tigers and one chicken"?

Guo Deyou was entrusted to solve the case of sinking the body in Shuangcha River, and asked Wu Laoxian, who sold medicine candy, about the iron pimple that dropped the female body into the bottom of the river. It turns out that Tiejie is an iron tiger, and the words cast on it are-Iron can control water, and dragons are in the distance, and Jin Kemu is the only place to live in this state. During the Jiajing period in the late Ming Dynasty, floods often occurred in Haihe River in Tianjinwei. Legend has it that dragons are afraid of iron, so the government made an iron cast "nine cows, two tigers and one chicken" as a thing in the town.

(2) Reveal Lian Huaqing's life experience:

There is a large family named Lian in Chentangzhuang. On the day of her daughter's wedding, a 13-year-old child hugged the bride tightly, causing criticism from her husband's family, and the bride died on the corner of the table. Because I couldn't tell the origin of the child, Lian Jia adopted the child and named the child Lian Huaqing with maternity. Lian Huaqing has an eyebrow on his forehead, two eyebrows are very long, and one eye has two pupils, so he is good at water. It is rumored that Lian Huaqing was reincarnated as a river demon. After the death of the elders in the family, Lian Huaqing was driven out of the house and lived on the streets. Later, even the family died because of the fire. In the year of famine, Lian Huaqing, in order to make a living, worshipped a monkey-playing Jianghu artist as a teacher and did many things that harmed people's lives together. The magical ancient road of that year, in the name of gobbledygook, left a magical book of witchcraft. After the magical ancient road was wiped out by the government, this wonderful book was circulated among the people and was accidentally obtained by this monkey-playing Jianghu artist. After the death of Master, Lian Huaqing got this wonderful book of the magical ancient road.

(3) What is the principle of distinguishing grievances by lighting cigarettes?

This book is called "Judging from Smoking". You don't have to use cigarettes, you can also burn yellow paper symbols, or ashes, paper ashes, or incense ashes. Take this ash and sprinkle it on the dead to see how much ash can be attached. Attached to the yin is heavy, and the yin is heavy, indicating that there is resentment. The so-called injustice is that the predecessors who entered the water are already dead, and when the body is thrown into the river after death, the breath of the deceased is already dead. In those days, there was no one who was not superstitious. They just said that there was no injustice and no one would believe it. People will believe it only if they say that yin is heavy. After the Republic of China, the judiciary gradually improved, and this kind of local law was rarely used again.

At the end of the first part of the online drama "River God", Guo Deyou jumped into poisonous water to save Tianjin, and his life and death were unknown. What kind of story will the second season unfold? After waiting for three years, this year is finally coming to an end. After the second season of online drama, will there be the third and fourth seasons? The official news is still unclear.

Two online dramas can't finish half of Muye Zhang's manuscript, but regarding the story of Tianjin Wei's River God, Muye Zhang admits that "countless mystery stories can't finish a book". It seems that the plot of "River God" is still worth looking forward to!
