читать дальше●Three years (old version) became three months (revised version) between JYL's death and the First Siege of LuanZang Hill.
●Ch. 18: the sequence of WWX and LWJ receiving punishment and bathing in the spring is new to the revised version.
●Ch. 46-47: LXC is not present, LWJ and WWX deal with the unruly corpse themselves and guess the corpse's identity. They take the disciples back to Cloud Recesses where they meet with LXC and NHS**, who immediately recognize NMJ. Afterwards they discuss the possibility of JGY being the culprit. In the revised version, LXC arrives with LWJ and discussion is limited to the Lan brothers and WWX that evening.
●**An interesting detail in the old version - NMJ and LWX were good friends before becoming sworn brothers, and when NHS was small he would often accompany his big brother to the Cloud Recesses. But there wasn't anyone there who would play with him, so he didn't actually like going.
●Ch. 47: post-banquet scenes where WWX teaches JL how to fight and 'confesses' his love for LWJ are new to the revised version. The Yunping title deeds do not appear in the old version.
●Ch. 48-50: Scene of NMJ, JGY, LXC and WRH in the Sun Palace is new to the revised version. In the old version it's simply mentioned that JGY assassinated WRH in front of a heavily-injured NMJ. Revised version also extends the flashback, overall IMO more pagetime for LXC.
●Ch. 64: The Lan brothers' parents' story is new to the revised version.
●Ch. 65: The scene of JGY arriving at Cloud Recesses is new to the revised version. In the old version, WWX and LWJ set out to search for evidence initially without any clues; in a later chapter, they hear about the kidnapped disciples at LuanZang from some passerby cultivators.
●Ch. 65-66: In the old version, the conscious WN first meets them on the road before reaching the farmer family's house. At this time LWJ and WWX also piece together the gravedigger's true identity (Su She).
●Ch. 69: The entire night-hunt sequence at Phoenix Mountain is new to the revised version.
●Ch. 72-73: In the old version, NMJ is more anti-Wen (he praises MianMian's courage but ultimately disagrees with her). In the revised version it's clear he has a neutral/questioning position (no disagreement, he only praises MianMian).
●Ch. 75: LWJ doesn't go up LuanZang with WWX to help subdue WN in the old version. Instead after WWX gets back, WN shows up fully conscious. WQ explains that WN woke in the morning after WWX went out.
●Ch. 76: In the old version, WWX and WN went to the Qiongqi Path simply because they heard some rumors, WWX was not invited to JL's full-month ceremony.
●Ch. 82-84 : In the old version, instead of fighting alongside the juniors, WWX and LWJ lure away the corpse horde by themselves (flying away on BiChen with WWX wearing the Phantom Attraction Flag). WN follows the crowd of cultivators down the mountain, watching out for them (though they are loathe to admit it). WWX and LWJ meet back up with everyone on the boats, right as JL is facing off against WN. This is replaced by the sequence with the Wen survivors' corpses in the revised version.
●Ch. 85: In the old version an anonymous letter reveals JGY's incest and patricide. In the revised version the relevant witnesses appear in person and give much more in-depth accounts.
●Ch. 90: In the old version upon reaching Yunping they uncover the story of JGY's youth and his mother from residents. In the revised version they follow the title deed clue directly to the GuanYin temple; in a later chapter WWX sees a bit of young JGY after performing Empathy with the corpse of a worker at the same brothel (burnt down by JGY).
●Ch. 100-101: In the old version LWJ is so shocked after WWX's 'confession' he drops BiChen, and JGY seals LWJ's spiritual power. In the revised version LWJ seals his own spiritual power at JGY's demand. Afterward when WWX confesses again, in the old version LWJ says "I as well", in the revised version he hoarsely repeats WWX's words, and seems to shed tears while holding WWX tightly.
●Ch. 104-106: In the old version, LWJ defeats both Su She and JGY, using his own string technique to counter JGY's diversionary attacks against JL and JC while LXC defends NHS. In the revised version, due to a slightly different lead-up to the fight, LXC first strikes JGY from behind, then LWJ arrives with BiChen (after dealing with Su She).
●Ch. 111: LSZ regaining his memories, reuniting with WWX, and going with WN is new to the revised version.
