If you want to say what is the most regrettable episode in Jin Yong's pen, the author's answer will naturally be "three times Huashan on the sword".
Yes, the three Huashan swords mentioned in "Double Eagle" all give people a feeling of thunder and rain.
Among them, the first Huashan Sword Discussion occurred before the start of the main story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", although the five battles were fought for seven days and seven nights, but the plot was not directly presented in front of the reader, so naturally it was not very exciting.
The second time Huashan discussed the sword, but Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong accompanied Guo Jing, the prince, to read the book together, according to the rules set by Huang Rong, Guo Jing successfully obtained the approval of the two predecessors, but it always gave people a feeling of almost meaning.
And the third Huashan sword is even more nonsense, this time the heroes don't make a move, and they will choose a new generation of five uniques between talking and laughing, and it also leaves a question for readers, who is the first in the world at this time?As the rising star of the protagonist, has Yang Guo surpassed his predecessors?
1. One of the five uniques.
From the bright side, the first master in the world for the third time in Huashan is the "old naughty boy" Zhou Botong, after all, after Huashan's three theories, his nickname has been changed from "old naughty boy" to "middle naughty boy".
The word "Zhong" once belonged to his brother Wang Chongyang, and it was most appropriate to inherit it at this time.
But people push the old naughty boy as one of the "five uniques", the reason is not in martial arts but in mentality.
Huang Yaoshi said this: "Old naughty boy, old naughty boy, you are really amazing, I, Huang Laoxi, am indifferent to the 'name', and the master of the lamp regards the 'name' as illusory, only you, but your heart is empty, and you don't have the idea of 'name', but you are a step higher than us." The five unique naughty children in the East and West Crazy South Monks and Northern Heroes are the most!”
But please note that Huang Laoxi's wording positions Zhou Botong as "one of the five uniques" rather than "the first in the world", this kind of wording is really ambiguous, after all, Wang Chongyang is an exception, Huang Laoxie has never served anyone in martial arts, does it also show that Zhou Botong is not the first in the world.
Is it just because of his nature that people give up this position to him?
Relatively speaking, Yang Guo's actual combat record is much better.
2. Latecomers.
Zhou Botong and Yang Guo initially fought in Baihua Valley, but they were not a life-and-death duel at that time, so the two of them couldn't help but have reservations and couldn't fight for a result.
But the combat prowess displayed by the two in the face of the same enemy may be the basis for assessing the difference in power between the two, and King Jinlun is the "common enemy".
After Guo Xiang jumped off the cliff, Zhou Botong and the others fought wits and courage with the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and the old naughty boy fought against the Dharma King.
There is such a sentence mentioned in the book: "Zhou Botong was startled, he expected that the opponent's fist strength was different, so he didn't dare to take it hard, and his elbow sank slightly, which was already used very well in Kongming's boxing." The national teacher struck a blow, the power was nearly 1,000 catties and taels, although it was not said that it was indeed as powerful as a dragon elephant, but it was definitely not a flesh and blood body to resist, but with the power of Zhou Botong's fist, he felt that there was nothing, and he had no strength, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, and his left palm was slapped away. Zhou Botong had already felt the strangeness of the other party's strength, and he had never seen it before. He is good at martial arts by nature, as long as he knows whose skill is good, he will linger and compassionate in the competition, and he will win a small battle in his life, I don't know how many good players in the rivers and lakes will pass by, but such a great power sent out by the national teacher is unseen and unheard of. ”
Obviously, Zhou Botong had no way to directly capture the Dharma King, and then there was really Zhou Botong, Master Yideng and Huang Yaoshi, and the Golden Wheel Dharma King was captured by them in this way, but this sentence does not mean that the three Five Absolute are enough to capture the Golden Wheel Dharma King, but the Dharma King is still a person who knows the times, and he will die if he fights wits and courage with the three Five Uniques, and it is not practical to say that the Dharma King wants to capture the Golden Wheel Dharma King alone.
But Yang Guo did it because Yang Guo had an unreasonable martial arts, that is, the Ecstasy Palm.
In fact, in my opinion, under normal circumstances, Yang Guo is not as good as Lao Sanjue, because when he fought with the Golden Wheel Dharma King, he was once beaten to death by the Dharma King.
You can read the description of the original book: "Yang Guo has reunited with the little dragon girl, this way palm has lost its magic effect, until this moment of life and death, as soon as he thought about it, he was with the little dragon girl Yongjue, and when he learned from the pain, the power of this 'gloomy ecstasy palm' was born unconsciously." The national teacher had already stabilized, but suddenly he was slapped in the shoulder, only to shake the pain in his chest, his body flashed, he was shocked and angry, and he suddenly fluttered with his body. ”
This is a place where the ecstasy palm is unreasonable, and once a cultivator is in a desperate situation, it is easy to stimulate powerful combat power.
In any case, Yang Guo's performance in a desperate state was better than Zhou Botong's.
But whether Yang Guo can win the first place that day, he has to ask another man, that is, his uncle Guo Jing.
Third, the great man of chivalry.
The third Huashan sword, everyone was talking about who could do the five uniques and who should be the first in the world, and Guo Jing's mentality had given us an answer.
What did he say?
In fact, he did not express his opinion during the whole sword discussion, he has always behaved very calmly, as if this Huashan sword discussion has nothing to do with him, in fact, he decided to come to Huashan only to pay homage to the master Hong Qigong.
Why doesn't he care about Huashan on the sword?In fact, when Yang Guo attracted a group of martial arts heroes to celebrate Guo Xiang's birthday, he gave an answer.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong had such a conversation: "After returning to the palace, she asked Guo Jing: 'Brother Jing, did we miss a post?'Guo Jingqi said: "Why did I miss the post, let's check it a few times, and there will be no omission." Huang Rong said: "I think so too." We are afraid that we will offend any hero, even the footsteps of not much fame, and the dozens of celebrities who know that they will never come to wash their hands and retire, have already sent the hero post. But what I saw today, it was obvious that a person with a lot of background was not angry in his heart, and he also wanted to hold a hero banquet in Xiangyang City and fight with us. Guo Jingxi said: This hero has the same interests as us, and he really couldn't be better. Let's push him as the leader of the alliance, and he will lead the heroes to fight against Mongolia together, and our husband and wife will listen to his orders together.
This is Guo Jing's mode, he only thinks about "guarding Xiangyang" in his heart, he heard about the existence of heroes, he is even willing to assist the other party, such a model, which of the remaining four must have?The two are still competing against each other, and Guo Jing is only thinking about the common people in the world.
Zhou Botong once said that only those who have the mind to save the world can reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and his brother Wang Chongyang is like this, and Guo Jing is also the same.
