Is the character of the exterminator important?
Of course it is important, if there is no her, there will be no story of Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
Martial arts supreme, sword slaying dragon, commanding the world, don't dare to disobey. If you don't come out of the sky, who will compete? This sentence is familiar to almost all people in the rivers and lakes.
But no one knows why the dragon slaying knife can "command the world and dare not obey". Even a top figure like the "Golden Lion King" Xie Xun who is both civil and military cannot find the answer in his life after getting the dragon slaying knife.
Only the extermination master, as the third-generation head of the Emei faction, knew this secret from the **Fengling master:
After obtaining the Dragon Slayer Knife and the Yitian Sword at the same time, using internal force, the swords will be cut at the same time, and the secret notes in the blade and blade will be taken out, that is, the "Wu Mu Testament" and "Nine Yin True Scripture".
What is hidden in the sword and sword is what is truly valuable.
However, if you want to evaluate a "person I hate the most" in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", it is estimated that the exterminator will be elected with the highest vote, and there is no suspense.
Why? As the name suggests, she is too "extinct" of humanity.
Let's start with its appearance. The description of the original book is:
I saw that she was about forty-four or five years old, and her appearance was very beautiful, but her two eyebrows drooped obliquely, and her face looked very strange, almost a little like a hanged ghost on the stage. ”
According to Mr. Lu Xun's point of view, if you want to create a character, it is best to portray his eyes, but Jin Yong firmly grasped the feature of "eyebrows" and summarized the characteristics of exterminating Shitai. ——This also opens up ideas for our writing: if you want to write live characters, you must focus on "eyebrows and eyes".
Of course, physiognomy is only its shape, the key is to observe its deeds and explore its heart.
Jin Yong didn't use much ink on the emotional world of the exterminating master, and it is unknown whether she was born a cold-blooded animal. But there is a detail in the article, that is, she mentioned many times that her senior brother Gu Hongzi was killed by Yang Xiao. It can be seen that the weight of this lonely Hongzi in the mind of extinction is not light.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Extinction gritted her teeth at Mingjiao, the Demon Sect she firmly believed. Under her Heavenly Sword, I don't know how many Mingjiao sect members died tragically, and the ruthlessness of her methods and the ruthlessness of her heart have reached a staggering level.
I don't want to gossip about her relationship with her brother, but I just want to find a logical starting point for her cruelty, to prove that she was not born like this, so that readers can retain a little trust and hope in human nature. Because here's a doubt:
According to the extermination of herself, she has two major wishes in her life, the first is to drive away the Tartars and recover the mountains and rivers of the Han family, and the second is to be the martial arts leader of the Emei faction, Qunlun, covering Shaolin and Wudang, and becoming the first sect of martial arts in the Central Plains.
See? This mind and ambition seem to have the momentum to swallow the sun and the moon, and the so-called women do not let the eyebrows.
But since "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" is the first wish, and this desire is consistent with the purpose of Mingjiao, why is she committed to destroying Mingjiao?
The six major factions besieged Guangming Ding, and the exterminator contributed the most and had the most resolute attitude, always holding the principle of "eliminating evil" and leaving no room for anything, where does this start?
Behind her seemingly upright behavior, is there a meaning of personal vendetta in the public declaration?
I think there must be. The "private" here is Yang Xiao's anger at his senior brother Gu Hongzi. Because she hated Yang Xiao and hated the entire Ming Sect, she wanted to "destroy" the "absolute".
At this point, she is actually highly consistent with Cheng Kun, the "Hybrid Thunderbolt".
Of course, it is said that she "exterminated humanity", in addition to "killing", the main manifestation is "forcing disciples".
The first example is manifested in the matter of the apprentice Ji Xiaofu.
Ji Xiaofu is the first proud ** of extinction, with a resolute personality and good understanding. It's a pity that he was forced to lose his body by Yang Xiao and gave birth to a daughter.
The original book depicts the relationship between the two more subtlely, and there is not much ink. Some film and television versions have made up a lot of plots, and the interpretation is also very exciting. But anyway, Ji Xiaofu later fell in love with Yang Xiao, and her daughter's name "Yang No Regrets" has explained everything.
As for why this is so, Yang Xiao's own charm is one thing, and the more important reason is probably because the extinction is too strict with **, not close to people, and even praise will not be said easily. The Emei faction has been in a trembling and serious lack of love environment for a long time, once they come to the outside world and meet a dashing and mature man like Yang Xiao, how can the young Ji Xiaofu hold it?
According to common sense, ** committed such a humiliating thing, and it is understandable that the extinction directly cleans up the portal. However, as a generation of grandmasters, she did something even more disgraceful than using poison and stealing hidden weapons, which made people shake their heads at her character. The description of the original book is:
The exterminator raised his head to the sky, hateful, and muttered to himself: "Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao ......."For many years I have not known your whereabouts, and today I will teach you to fall into my hands ......Suddenly, he turned around and said, "Okay, you lost your body to him, went back to protect Monk Peng, offended Senior Sister Ding, deceived **, and raised children privately......."I don't care about all this, I sent you to do one thing, after the completion of the work, when you come back to Emei, I will pass on the mantle and the sword of Yitian to you, and make you the heir of the head of this faction. ”
These few words only caused everyone to be greatly astonished. Ding Minjun is even more jealous and hateful, deeply resentful that he doesn't know right from wrong, and acts ......perversely
What did she send Ji Xiaofu to do? The original book did not give a specific explanation, but judging from Ji Xiaofu's performance of "shaking his head" and "extremely resolute", it must have been for Ji Xiaofu to kill Yang Xiao.
In terms of martial arts and scheming, Ji Xiaofu will definitely not be able to kill Yang Xiao. And the extinction "pulled Ji Xiaofu to her side and spoke softly in her ear", "I am afraid that the wall has ears and people will eavesdrop on it". This kind of indication shows that the extermination is opportune, and the clever plan to explain to ** will obviously not be above board, and even some unspeakable dirty.
Because the original book didn't say it, readers can make up for it by themselves.
* was bullied, in order to maintain Emei's face, as **, as much as she could, she could find Yang Xiao and challenge it with real knives and guns, which was also a heroic move, but her performance was really shocking. It's no wonder that even Ding Minjun, who looks like a copy of extinction, can't stand it.
Ji Xiaofu didn't listen to herself, and she was annoyed and angry, so she raised her palm and slapped it on Ji Xiaofu's head, killing the ** she valued the most on the spot.
This palm not only has the anger that cannot be avenged for personal revenge, but also the shame that dignity is difficult to maintain, in short, it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of murder.
The second example happened to Zhou Zhiruo, similar recipe, similar taste.
After being captured by Zhao Min, Extinction had the heart of death, but through the battle of Guangding, she was "keenly" aware of the subtle relationship between Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo. - From this point it is further proved that extinction is also "a person who has come over" - so a divine operation was sacrificed, and its cruelty was even worse than that of her sword and slashing people.
The core of this divine operation is to let Zhou Zhiruo lure Zhang Wuji and get the Dragon Slayer Knife and the Heavenly Sword.
And the focus of this divine operation is to "scare" first, and then "force", to completely grasp Zhou Zhiruo's fate, which can not be described as ruthless, nor can it be described as not poisonous. The original book is described as follows:
Zhou Zhiruo said softly: "*I look at him ......."He wasn't pretending. The exterminator was so angry that he shouted, "You must be like that unsuccessful Ji Xiaofu, who has taken a fancy to the prostitute of the Demon Sect." If I still have the skill, I will kill you with one palm. Zhou Zhiruo was so frightened that her whole body trembled, and said, "Don't dare." The exterminator said too sharply: "You really don't dare, or are you still rhetorical and deceitful?" Zhou Zhiruo wept and said: "The apprentice will never dare to disobey the teacher's lesson. The exterminator said: "You kneel on the ground and be punished with a heavy oath." Zhou Zhiruo knelt down according to her words, and didn't know how to say it.
Exterminator Tai said: "You say this: If the little woman Zhou Zhi swears to the sky, if I have love for the prostitute of the Demon Sect Wuji in the future, if I marry him, my biological parents will die in the ground, and the bones will not be stable; I'm going to be a terrible ghost because of the exterminator, which makes me restless day and night all my life; If I bear children with him, the man will be a slave for each generation, and the woman a prostitute for the next. ”
Is there a more vicious curse than this?
On the surface, a generation of grandmasters who are righteous and awe-inspiring, but they are unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, and their intentions are sinister and sinister than the "Demon Sect" in her mind, I don't know how many times deeper. She used a way that was unacceptable to anyone to bind the weak Zhou Zhiruo to her "ideal", completely blocking Zhou Zhiruo's road to happiness and love fantasies.
This kind of method that is more terrifying than "killing" is called "punishing the heart", and it is used on the ** that you value the most.
It's not too much to say that the exterminator is too "dehumanizing", right?
Zhou Zhiruo, who was forced to collapse, looked in a trance, and parroted the prescribed actions arranged by **. A sentence that is not explained in the book, if it were added to her, it should be like this:
As the ** of the Emei faction, life is better than Coptis chinensis; I'm sorry to be ...... you”
Zhou Zhiruo's later "blackening" is directly related to the extreme operation of extinction. She didn't want to go against her original intention, but she couldn't get out of the shadow of extinction.
The role of exterminating Shitai is actually Jin Yong's expression of his "view of good and evil" or "view of human nature" through Zhang Sanfeng's mouth again.
When Zhang Cuishan returned to Wudang Mountain and married the daughter of the leader of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, he pleaded guilty to **. The description of the original book is:
Zhang Sanfeng still smiled and said, "What's the matter?" As long as the daughter-in-law has a good character, that is, even if she has a bad character, can't she be imperceptibly influenced by her when she arrives on our mountain? What happened to the Aquila Cult? Cuishan, you can't be too narrow-minded as the first person, don't pretend to be famous and decent, and look down on others as small. The word good and evil were originally indistinguishable. If the decent ** is not right, it is an evil person, and as long as the person in the evil sect is good, he is a righteous man and a gentleman. ”
This standard is applicable at all times.
How can we look at a person only by "explicit indicators" such as his identity, status, and wealth?
