Legendary Swordsman and Flower Guarding Bells

[darkcser]

Does anyone have these two translations from the now defunct Wuxiasociety?

I think the first one is called Legendary Swordsman... or maybe something Longsword? It's the one with Zhang Bai whose only clue to his father's killers is bag of random items.

Both had been translated into English in their entirety or close to it.

I think you are talking about Swordman Journey by Gu Long. Here is a link http://warzone.2morpg.com/f11-wuxia-translation

Yes, that's the one! I've been looking for these ever since Wuxiasociety went dark. Thanks!

Is the admin "Magic" there the same person as "Yufeng" from the Wuxiasociety? I noticed that Flower Guarding Bells is also there.

You're welcome. Dunno if it is the same admin. Wuxiasociety went dark before I found this site.

It looks like that site only has the first chapter to Flower Guarding Bells. Searching around it looks like there's a commercial version of it by Edmund Shen. It seems to be available on both Kindle and Nook.

I wonder if this Edmund Shen is the guy (Yufeng) who originally did the translation on WuxiaSociety or if it's just someone who scraped the translation from there. I'd like to support Yufeng's efforts if it is him but I don't want to support some guy who is just ripping off translations done by others, and selling them.

I seem to recall news of him publishing Flower Guarding Bells but now I can't find it. Wonder if he also published Swordsman's Journey. I seem to recall asking him if he was going to back fill the first 3 chapters but I don't know if he ever did.

Long time reader in the bg, dont ask me how long, but lets just say VERY LONG.

I think it's about time I gave something back.

i have a copy of Flower Guarding Bells by Gu Long that I think was translated by Yufeng. I forgot where I got it. But if anyone would like a copy...I'm not sure if I'm breaking any rules here...if I am, please tell me and I won't share it.

I just wanted to put something that had disappeared - back into the English-speaking wuxia community.

Hi,
I'd be interested too, (as you said, if it isn't against forum rules)
Thanks

Just go thro' this link.. and read all the posts..

this is the link where chickenfeet posted a portion of the translation, ( chickenfeet and temujin being the adminstrators of wuxiasocity )

Again the best person to speak is han solo or ren wo xing they are the adminstrators..
The problem is the book is already published.. so it may affect the sales of the existing book..
but as far as i remember Yufeng is magnanimous not to remove the translation from wuxiasocity even after the book is published for a long time.. We just miss it because wuxiasocity is down..

So...any of the admins would like to advise me on yay or nay?

Swordman Journey by Gu Long translations appears to be a bit incomplete. I don't understand chinese text, so I used a text to speech program and it REALLY made a lot of the story much more understandable & enjoyable.

I hope they make a series/movie from this book...

Hi everyone, it's been a bit quiet in the forums lately but I completely forgot to check my private messages and that I had gotten a reply from an admin saying its a gray area to share copy. So Ive uploaded it to an anonymous server. Sorry for the delay, but enjoy ^_^.

P.S. If someone complains, I'll be happy to take it off myself or have admin do it.

Anyways, may I present to you: The Flower Guarding Bell by Gu Long (translated by Yufeng at Wuxiasociety.org)
