Song Yuanqiao is invincible, Mo Shenggu debuted at the age of 13, and the opportunity of the Wudang Seven Heroes was revealed
Martial arts has a special place in the history of Chinese literature. This genre, headed by Jin Yong and Gu Long, combines traditional culture with the social environment at that time, which has a real ancient meaning and is not rigid, opening up a new world of rivers and lakes for most readers.
The names of martial arts and the titles of chivalry in martial arts** are said to have ancient meanings, because they contain many ancient allusions. What's even more interesting is that in the ** about combinations, they tend to be taken from several natural numbers. For example, the second elder of Emperor Xuan and the seventh son of Wudang, these numbers also refer to Taoist classics"Two instruments, four images, seven stars"。
However, the Wudang Seven seems to be the weakest of these combinations. Song Yuanqiao's martial arts were mediocre when he debuted, and the youngest Mo Shenggu was only 13 years old
Speaking of Wudang, it is natural to start with Sanfeng, whose legendary life is one of the highlights of martial arts in Jin Yong's works. Zhang Sanfeng was born in the Southern Song Dynasty, his ancestral home is Jiangxi, and historical records record that he lived until the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, this Taoist master outlived the entire Yuan dynasty.
What's even more incredible is that many Ming emperors are said to have sent people to find it. Even during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were rumors that it existed, and if the rumors are true, I am afraid that it has survived for hundreds of years.
Zhang Sanfeng in * is not as mysterious as in the ancient books, he was originally just an ordinary little monk in the Shaolin Temple. By chance, he was taught by Jiuyang Divine Skill and laid a solid foundation for martial arts. Since then, he has continued to study and start a business, creating a new path of Taoist and Buddhist martial arts.
It is worth mentioning that he also studied under Guo Jing's second daughter Guo Xiang, who later became the founder of the Emei faction. Since his friends were all such people, he naturally became a master and founded his own sect.
Soon after the establishment of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng's reputation spread all over the country, and he accepted seven apprentices, and his descendants were called the Wudang Seven Heroes. On his 100th birthday, he used his accumulated martial arts to create Taijiquan and Taijijian.
He can create his own peerless martial arts, not to mention the strength of his talent, but also because of the unique status of Wudang school martial arts, Jin Yong in his later works, often called Wudang and Shaolin"Taishan Beidou", I think it is a top sect that is difficult to shake.
It seems that the prestige of Wudang is largely based on Zhang Sanfeng's originality, and these seven chivalrous men are none other than the representatives of the Wudang faction. With the fame of this sect, the seven people can naturally mix well in the rivers and lakes, although some people look down on them, but no one dares to offend Zhang Sanfeng easily.
Song Yuanqiao is"Seven Heroes"The eldest brother in the middle, compared with each other"standards"。He has a gentle appearance, three long beards hanging on his chest, and he has both the freedom of a monk and a strong bookish atmosphere. Although his martial arts have been criticized by many people"The world is invincible"。But as the big brother of foreign diplomacy, his external temperament and inner heart are qualified.
Although the Wudang faction was turbulent and Zhang Sanfeng lived in seclusion, he used his actions to safeguard the interests of the Wudang faction, so he was considered a good sect leader. However, when it comes to martial arts, he seems to give the reader the impression that he is weaker than a first-class master.
But is that really the case?There are not many passages in the original text about Song Yuanqiao's attack, which is understandable. As the spokesperson of Wudang, his attack represents the Wudang faction, and he should not put power first just in case.
However, during the siege of the Bright Peak, he fought with the Eagle King Yin Tianzheng. Although he didn't fight to the death, in the face of the battle-hardened Yin Tianzheng, he did not fall behind, and his gains in martial arts could be seen from the moves alone. The biggest regret of such an outstanding person in his life is that he did not educate his children well.
Song Qingshu, the son of Song Yuanqiao, originally had one of the best family backgrounds and martial arts resources on the rivers and lakes. However, his cowardly character not only made him unrepentant, but also ruined his reputation after the ** were forced to rebel.
Song Yuanqiao's father was unable to escape the blame for his son's depravity, and finally lost his position as the head of the family and died depressed. Although Song Yuanqiao has never appeared in the public eye since then, according to Zhang Cuishan, the martial arts of the Wudang faction will become stronger and stronger in the future, and his martial arts in his later years should not be weaker than that of first-class masters.
In the second generation of Wudang, Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou were originally considered to have the highest martial arts. This is due to the fact that they studied under Zhang Sanfeng in their early years and were personally taught by Zhang Sanfeng. However, compared with the eldest brother, Yu Lianzhou is introverted and taciturn, and may not be the first choice of the head of the house.
After Song Yuanqiao became the sect master, unlike the senior brother, he did not hesitate to practice martial arts because of the stinginess of the clan. Therefore, he gradually became the first person with the highest martial arts in the second generation, even surpassing the senior brother Song Yuanqiao, and ranked among the first-class ** all year round.
Zhang Sanfeng is the most proud of the Wudang Seven Heroes, and he is born with strong martial arts. In addition to the Seven Heroes who died early and the three heroes who were disabled, he also knew Zhang Cuishan best, but unfortunately died young. The name of Wudang seems to be supported by Zhang Sanfeng, a top master with several first-class masters.
Any sect, as long as there is a top master like Zhang Sanfeng, can basically be called a sect, and everyone on the rivers and lakes admires or fears it. Don't forget, the rivers and lakes are also about human feelings, in addition to Zhengkun's ulterior motives, how many people are willing to risk offending him for the sake of the Wudang Seven Heroes?
However, educating students is like planting crops, and mistakes are inevitable. For example, it took a generation after Zhang Sanfeng to produce a genius like Zhang Wuji, and I don't know how many generations after Zhang Wuji came out with a genius.
