The Book of Swords and Enmity is Mr. Jin Yong's first martial arts work, and many of its settings are different from his later works.
Although this is a work set in the Qianlong period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the level of martial arts in it is not low. In the rivers and lakes of the book and sword, the martial arts are also as good as a cloud, considering that many people's martial arts have a limited gap between each other, so the most representative six masters can be discharged, who are they?
The weakest villain, Zhang Zhaozhong. Many people disagree with the statement that Zhang Zhaozhong is one of the weakest villains in martial arts, thinking that for example, Tian Guinong and Bei Haishi's martial arts are much worse than Zhang Zhaozhong. However, the position of the first villain is not available in any Jin Yong martial arts.
For example, who is the first villain in the Yue Nu Sword?Xi Shi or King Wu?Doesn't count. Only when the martial arts and the status of the rivers and lakes have reached a certain level, can he be regarded as the first villain as a decent character who wants to kill him quickly. For example, Cheng Kun, the hybrid thunderbolt in Yitian.
On this basis, Zhang Zhaozhong is naturally the lower limit of martial arts among the first villains. Although he could be regarded as the number one master of the Wudang faction at that time, and he had fought with almost all the decent masters, he had only won a complete victory over Yu Yutong at this level, and he couldn't even beat Wang Weiyang, a dart game with limited roles. Wen Tailai, Zhao Banshan, and Wuchen Dao Chang are not inferior to Zhang Zhaozhong, and Ma Zhen and Lu Feiqing's martial arts are not significantly inferior to Zhang Zhaozhong, and Chen Zhengde's martial arts are still above Zhang Zhaozhong.
It can be said that there are no less than ten sword masters at Zhang Zhaozhong's level in martial arts. However, Zhang Zhaozhong has a characteristic, that is, he has determined the lower limit of the first-class strong master in the book sword, and only those who can fight with Zhang Zhaozhong can be said to have the qualification of "master".
The top three male protagonists Chen Jialuo are stacked. Chen Jialuo's martial arts at the beginning were first-class, second only to the villain Zhang Zhaozhong. Original text:
Wen Tailai asked again: "Is the main force of the helmsman enough?"Listening to the sound, it was like a rope slowing down. Luo Bing didn't answer, suddenly jumped up, and shouted: "Okay, Zhang Zhaozhong's sword locks the shield, okay, okay, this rope can't escape ......."Ahh......hOops, oops!Wen Tailai hurriedly asked, "What?."Luo Bing said: "That guy used a mouth sword, and cut off two hooks on the shield, ah, the rope was cut by the sword......."Good ......Alas, this shield missed. ”This is the first battle between Chen Jialuo and Zhang Zhaozhong, it can be seen that although Chen Jialuo at this time is not Zhang Zhaozhong's opponent, the gap between them is not big, and Zhang Zhaozhong's victory largely depends on the sharpness of Ning Bijian.
And after Chen Jialuo practiced Ku Ding Jie Niu Boxing, his martial arts have improved significantly, and he can defeat Zhang Zhaozhong head-on. However, his martial arts are still a notch behind the top masters. The most direct evidence is that Chen Jialuo couldn't resist the ten random moves of the Shaolin Sect Tianjing Master after his martial arts attainment.
It can be seen from that pass that Chen Jialuo can only be regarded as a "young master" in the Shaolin faction, and among the Shaolin faction, there may be many martial arts skills higher than him. And masters of the level of Master Tianjing and Master Tianhong, their martial arts are much higher than Chen Jialuo's, which is equivalent to the gap between the top master and the first-class master.
Therefore, Chen Jialuo's martial arts may also be one of the weakest among the many Jin Yong male protagonists.
Yuan Shixiao, who is half a grade higher than the male protagonist. The martial arts of Yuan Shixiao, the monster of the Tianshan Mountains, are at least half a grade higher than Chen Jialuo, and he can easily defeat Zhang Zhaozhong. Original text:
Hahetai said in a low voice: "Why does he always retreat?"Teng Yilei shook his hand at him. Listening to the two of them talk faster and faster, Yuan Shixiao smiled and looked calm, Zhang Zhaozhong's forehead continued to permeate with sweat, and sometimes he thought for a while before he reluctantly dissolved. The three demons of Kanto all thought: "If it is really an enemy, how can you have room to think, as long as you are slow, you will be defeated a long time ago." ”Judging from the process, Yuan Shixiao defeated Zhang Zhaozhong without ten moves. Although Zhang Zhaozhong thought that if he added one of the three demons of Kanto, he could tie with Yuan Shixiao. But that's just the special setting of the master gap in the book sword. Because Yuan Shixiao himself also thinks that he is definitely not the opponent of Zhang Zhaozhong and the three demons of Kanto.
The upper limit of martial arts is unpredictable Avanti. Avanti's martial arts are very vague in the book sword. He can jokingly defeat Zhang Zhaozhong, much easier than Yuan Shixiao, and the upper limit of his martial arts is unpredictable. is like the sweeping monk in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, he defeated the Four Absolute Dragons with his hands and feet.
But from Yuan Shixiao's point of view, although Avanti's martial arts are high, they are not significantly beyond himself. Therefore, this time Avanti is ranked under the rainbow and the mirror.
Master of the Mirror, Master of the Rainbow. Master Rainbow did not make a direct move, but he was known as the first master of Shaolin, which shows that his status is unshakable.
And when Master Tianjing fought with Chen Jialuo, who was a master of martial arts, the first move hurt the other party's anger, but it can be considered that he didn't really want to hurt Chen Jialuo, and there was room for him to make a move. But Rao is like this, Chen Jialuo can survive ten moves, and there is also an element of luck. If Tianjing really shot with all his might, he might not be able to use three or five moves to seriously injure Chen Jialuo.
