When it comes to Mr. Jin Yong's masterpiece "The Condor Trilogy", we have to mention the three classic works including "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon". These three ** span the Southern Song Dynasty and the end of the Yuan Dynasty in time, and the protagonists include Guo Jing, Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji, etc., and narrate their respective legendary life processes with exquisite plots.
has crossed such a broad historical stage in this way, and there are many characters, which undoubtedly makes "The Condor Trilogy" the pinnacle of Jin Yong's **. Especially the cute supporting characters who are closely accompanied by the three protagonists, they dazzle and praise the majority of readers!
However, I believe many friends will be puzzled - as Guo Jing's son, Guo Poyu, who shoulders the arduous mission of slaying the dragon sword, was forced to die at the end of the play, just reduced to a dispensable supporting role? Why?
First of all, let's get to know Guo Jing and his wife. Guo Jing and Huang Rong are the souls of the Condor Trilogy, and they have created countless moving memories during the Condor Shooting Period, which has further become the unquestioned leadership core of Xiangyang City. The world-famous dragon slaying knife and the Heavenly Sword in their hands, the various events caused by them ran through the entire "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". Especially Guo Xiang, her appearance not only brought huge waves, but even attracted a lot of speculation. Her encounter with Yang Guo aroused the curiosity of readers, and everyone couldn't help but wonder if this clever and beautiful girl would become Yang Guo's second wife in the future?
The last thing I talked about was Guo Poyu, who had been playing the role of **. He didn't attract much attention in the Condor era, and he was almost brushed off by Jin Yong in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". Still, we can find some clues from him to answer this question.
In "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Jin Yong mentioned that after Guo Jing and Huang Rong forged the sword, they did not directly hand over the map to Guo Poyu or Guo Xiang, but hid it in the armor. This is because they are well aware that once the military books and martial arts secrets appear early, they will inevitably cause disaster. So they handed over the Yitian Sword to Guo Xiang, because she had an excellent talent for martial arts and a smart mind; And handed over the dragon slayer knife to Guo Poyu, perhaps because he was Guo Jing's only son, but in fact, Jin Yong also told us through hints that after Guo Poyu's death, the dragon slaying knife disappeared immediately, until it reappeared in the rivers and lakes a few years later, which caused a catastrophe in the rivers and lakes. As for why Guo Poyu was chosen as the successor of the Dragon Slayer Knife, as long as we carefully ponder who he looks like, we should be able to understand the reason.
The main reason why Guo Poyu looks very similar to Guo Jing is that Guo Jing, as Guo Polu's father, naturally poured rich feelings and care into him, and after years of careful training and education, Guo Poyu finally grew into a young man with a calm personality and dignified manners. However, in order to keep the inviolable dragon slaying knife, Guo Poyu was not spared after all, and died heroically in the bloody battle of Xiangyang City. As a result, the dragon slaying knife fell in the rivers and lakes, setting off a bloody martial arts storm. It is Guo Poyu's heroic sacrifice that makes the story of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" more incendiary and fascinating.
