I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 269, The Feuds of the Martial World End, The Growth Story of a Great Hero

The young hero and Little Dragon Girl parted ways.

Sixteen years of separation began here.

Yang Guo and his two sworn sisters burned all the love flowers in the Valley of Heartbreak.

From then on, the world was spared a deadly poison, and finally, no one died because of love.

As for Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, they could only bid farewell to Yang Guo and venture into the world on their own, so as not to betray their sworn brother's chivalrous heart. It was just a pity that although they secretly loved each other, they could only remain sisters for life.

Yang Guo himself traveled all over the mountains and rivers.

Or rather, he traveled to all the places where Little Dragon Girl had been.

In this one-man show.

Yang Guo was deeply in love and had seen all the places Xiaolongnü had seen.

One person's affection is deep.

The presentation in the lens.

There wasn't any explosive emotion involved; it was simply a matter of someone walking the path she had walked alone.

This monologue clearly had a lot of lines.

But that's no longer necessary.

The director felt it wasn't necessary.

Let Li Yun walk alone, expressing himself through his facial expressions and subtle changes.

That's enough.

Expressing emotions in a sophisticated way without needing dialogue.

Finally, holding the empty hand, Yang Guo briefly left the chaos of the martial world and returned to the cliff where he was with his brother, the Condor Hero.

Brother Eagle, I'm back.

Have you missed me?

Now, all I have left is you.

Then only you are left.

Yang Guo gazed tenderly at the Divine Condor before him.

16 years time.

Yang Guo practiced his kung fu in this deep mountain valley, focusing wholeheartedly on swordsmanship with only one arm for 16 years.

"Should we take a break for a while?"

At this moment, Zhou Liang asked Li Yun a question, since this was a major stage in his life.

He can be considered the ultimate Yang Guo.

Compared to each previous stage, this is a completely different Yang Guo.

Should Li Yun take a break for a while?

No need to.

There is no rest time in the stages of life; one must be as one is meant to be.

I feel this way, and so does Yang Guo, right?

Sixteen years have flown by.

Yang Guo also became the Condor Hero, roaming the martial arts world upholding justice and fighting against all the evil people in the world with only one arm.

To punish the unjust.

Guo Fu was already a renowned heroine in the martial arts world, and at this time, Guo Xiang, who was an infant in her swaddling clothes, had grown into a beautiful young woman.

While traveling the world with Guo Xiang, Guo Fu also heard of the name of the Condor Hero.

Who is the Condor Hero?

Guo Xiang had a bit of a fangirl mentality.

Guo Fu knew that the Condor Hero was Yang Guo.

My thoughts were a jumbled mess.

She would belittle the Condor Hero for a while, but when someone actually spoke disrespectfully to him, Guo Fu would tell them to shut up, feeling angry.

Guo Xiang, in order to see the great hero Divine Condor, actually met with the ghost of the mountain stream.

Go keep your appointment with the Condor Hero.

These are clearly strangers.

However, in order to meet the legendary Condor Hero in her heart, Guo Xiang still went to do it.

It was at this moment.

He finally met the Condor Hero he had been longing for, who wore a human skin mask and looked ugly, but could not hide the excitement in his heart.

It turns out that this chivalrous and highly skilled martial artist actually looks like this.

Yang Guo at this moment.

With white hair and an aged face, his eyes shone like lightning. He wielded the Xuan Tie Sword and roamed the martial world. Later, in his conflict with Zhou Botong, he used the Ecstasy Palm to make the old martial arts fanatic bow down in reverence.

Why do people feel so heartbroken and devastated?

Because after 16 years, he still hadn't seen his wife.

He waited patiently, heartbroken and devastated.

Love accumulates with the years.

Settling.

In fact, when filming any scene, Zhou Liang never thought that Li Yun would interpret it from this perspective.

How will our male lead interpret the changes in his character over the course of 16 years?

Makeup.

Expression.

These aspects are the most intuitive and direct way to present Yang Guo.

Li Yun chose the most difficult option.

Having chosen to express the emotional changes that come with the passage of time, what exactly is the look in someone's eyes after 16 years of loving another person?

What was it like waiting another 16 years?

Most people haven't experienced something like this. For modern people, it's already quite remarkable that a relationship can last for three years.

The look in his eyes after 16 years.

It was still that look of someone waiting patiently and wistfully.

But who can truly experience it?

Not to mention a young person.

But Li Yun has already done it quietly.

Before me is Yang Guo 16 years later, mature and stripped of his former youthful exuberance, but without the carefree spirit of his earlier days.

From a young swordsman to the legendary Condor Hero.

The resulting changes.

From the day we parted until now, through the years.

The love deepened, became more profound, and the unwavering affection resided within Yang Guo's soul-stirring kung fu.

feel.

Kung Fu, eye contact, and movements—everything can serve as a way to express a character.

Aside from love, perhaps the only thing that remains unchanged is his childlike heart.

They waited for Xiaolongnu for 16 years.

Yang Guo's actions lived up to his reputation as a chivalrous hero.

After a 16-year wait, the Little Dragon Girl has finally arrived.

So many emotions were conveyed in his intense gaze.

Sixteen years of waiting and love have made everyone aware of one thing, and everyone wants to see this loving couple finally get married.

Little Dragon Girl's appearance has not changed.

When she looked at Yang Guo, her gaze remained as gentle as ever.

Guo'er, your aunt has been cured of the Love Flower poison.

Finally, there is no longer any need to suffer the pain of heartbreak and separation by death.

However, when the Mongol army attacked Xiangyang, Yang Guo made a different choice, choosing between being able to stay with Xiaolongnü forever.

Between national and personal righteousness.

In the face of the most intense love.

Yang Guo decisively chose the greater good of his country and its people.

No matter how deep the love for Xiaolongnu was, no matter how heavy the emotion was, 16 years of waiting, which had been intense, ultimately turned into a sacrifice for the common people and the safety of the nation.

He resolutely threw himself into the battle to defend Xiangyang.

People say that to define a person, you have to look at the choices they make.

Yang Guo loved Xiaolongnü deeply and waited for her for 16 years, his longing for her never diminishing.

In this way, we can get together.

Having overcome hardship to achieve happiness, they chose a future where life and death were uncertain.

On the battlefield, he was even willing to go to Yelü Qi, Guo Fu's husband, for the sake of the national server.

And when Yang went to save Yelü Qi.

As an outsider, no one knew whether Guo Fu was more worried about her husband or Yang Guo.

But it doesn't matter.

In this final battle, Guo Jing and Huang Rong sacrificed their lives for their country, and Yang Guo finally defeated the fully-fledged Golden Wheel Monk.

Yang Guo at this time.

His reputation for chivalry is no less than that of Guo Jing.

Looking back on that time.

The entire story of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is about Yang Guo, the growth of a great hero.

Filming for The Return of the Condor Heroes wrapped up here, and the story being filmed is finally coming to an end.

Both Zhang Dahuzi and Zhou Liang felt a sudden emptiness.

I've never felt so exhausted after filming a single scene.

"I'm so tired, but it's finally over."

Zhou Liang lamented, "By the very end, I didn't even know if what I filmed was actually The Return of the Condor Heroes."

By the end, the script had completely slipped out of Zhou Liang's control.

As a director, he lost his sense of control.

This is absolutely a taboo for a director. Back when he was filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes, he lost control of the project and was severely scolded by Zhang Dahuzi.

Do you even deserve to be a director?

If you don't even have basic control over the script, how can you be a director?

But this time, it truly slipped out of Zhou Liang's control.

Zhang Da Huzi didn't hurl any more insults.

He changed his previous attitude from that of the bearded tyrant.

Because Zhang Da Hu Zi himself knew that the current situation was the best-case scenario. He wasn't being filmed by someone else, but rather it was happening in the real world through Yang Guo and the martial arts world he led.

It's happening in a vivid and real way.

After the entire filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes was completed, no one expected that so many people would fall ill here.

Even Zhou Liang has been on leave for a long time and didn't even come to the wrap party.

He did not emerge during that turbulent Northern Song Dynasty.

Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Zhou Botong, Guo Xiang, Guo Fu, Jinlun Fawang

"What a quiet wrap party! This is the first time I've ever had such a quiet wrap party. Maybe everyone is stuck in that Northern Song Dynasty era and hasn't come out yet."

Zhang Dahuzi looked at Li Yun in front of him.

Throughout the entire filming process, he never referred to the man in front of him as Li Yun.

Previously, it was always Yang Guo.

But now it's Li Yun.

After filming wrapped up, he became Li Yun.

"Is it my fault?"

"They love you so much, how could they blame you?" the bearded man teased. "Without you, they wouldn't have gotten so into the role, including Guo Jing, who initially thought you couldn't play Yang Guo, but now he's making an appointment with a senior psychiatrist."

"Mental illness is not contagious."

"Who knows?" Zhang Dahuzi personally opened a bottle of wine for Li Yun, an '82 Lafite: "Even Xiaolongnu didn't come to our wrap party. It's all your fault, it's all your fault for not coming. Cheers."

Zhang Dahuzi truly admired Li Yun's acting skills.

"So sometimes I don't know whether you're a methodist or an immersionist, or whether you've really come out of character yet."

"certainly."

At this moment, Li Yun drank the wine that Zhang Da Huzi handed him in one gulp, but his eyes were leisurely gazing ahead.

She quietly closed her left eye.

Before them lay a banquet, a feast, a place where the film crew could unwind and enjoy a delicious meal.

However, he opened his left eye and closed his right eye.

Before him lay the chaotic Mongolian battlefield, where soldiers had sacrificed their lives for their country, and self-proclaimed carefree wanderers of the martial world had died under a hail of swords for the sake of their nation's safety.

Yeah, who knows if I've actually broken character?

So, cheers!

Li Yun raised his glass in a toast, but Zhang Da Hu Zi did not accept it.

Because Zhang Dahuzi knew that this toast was not for him.

What was in front of Li Yun at this moment.

The one-armed hero, with his empty right hand, then raises his single hand.

The last glass of wine.

He also raised his glass.

Li Yun drank the wine, and when he was drunk, he started singing.

The world of martial arts laughs, grudges are settled.

When people clash, a smile can conceal a dagger.
