Seeking defeat alone can be regarded as the most famous of Jin Yong's martial arts who have not directly appeared. His name appears in "Divine Eagle Hero" and "Laughing Pride", and many people have a question, that is, is the lonely man in these two books alone?
Many people will analyze the years of life in which they are alone, but in fact, there is no definite answer. The era of lonely and defeated life is before the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is most likely the Tang Dynasty. The historical background of "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes" is vague, more likely to be the Ming Dynasty.
Why is it said that the lonely man in the two books is a person?
The first is because of martial arts, which is the most basic sign of determining a person in the martial arts world. For example, in "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", Mr. Mo Da, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, raided and killed Fei Bin, one of the thirteen Taibao of the Songshan Sect, although he was also ordered to destroy Fei Bin's wounds with a sword afterwards, but Zuo Lengchan, the leader of the Songshan Sect, still judged that the murderer was Mr. Mo Da.
It can be seen from this that the sword method can determine that the lone seeker in the two books is the same person.
Although the solitary and defeated in "Divine Eagle Hero" made great progress in martial arts in his later years, his lifelong skills were still concentrated on sword techniques. In "Laughing proud of the rivers and lakes", the lonely and defeated is also the founder of the Lonely Nine Swords. Although in the divine sculpture, the solitude of defeat is gradually from the heavy sword to the wooden sword, and there is no too much emphasis in "Laughing Proud of the River", but it is still staged in the number of sword methods.
Second, it is the status of the jianghu. Among the divine eagles, he was invincible in the world alone, and when he was forty years old, he had already returned to the hidden mountains and forests. In the midst of laughter and pride, the sword technique left behind by lonely defeat was indirectly learned by Feng Qingyang, which has made Feng Qingyang himself one of the world's top masters.
The same is the use of sword techniques, the same is almost invincible in the world. Could it be that there are still two people on the lake? Nature is impossible.
So, why is there a deviation in the process of inheriting the Lonely Sword Technique? That is to say, the sword technique that Yang Guo learned was different from what Feng Qingyang had learned? There are two possibilities.
First, both Yang Guo and Feng Qingyang had seen the remnants left by lonely defeat. However, being alone and defeating is not just a place of seclusion, so there are different relics left. So much so that what Yang Guo and Feng Qingyang learned was not exactly the same. What Yang Guo learned may be more complete, while Feng Qingyang actually only learned the Lone Nine Swords left behind by lonely defeat.
Second, only Yang Guo found the relics of loneliness and defeat, and Feng Qingyang was actually taught by others. And the person who taught him the sword technique was one of Yang Guo's descendants.
Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü lived in seclusion behind the tomb of the living dead in Zhongnan Mountain, and did not walk too much on the rivers and lakes. Later generations were taught the Nine Yin True Scriptures, and the Nine Swords of Solitude, more likely yang Guo's processing on the basis of the sword method he learned in his later years, in order to show respect for his predecessors, so when he left the sword method, he emphasized that it was passed down from the solitude and defeat.
From the number of lonely nine swords, it also has yang's temperament. Yang was too debauched and pursued to do whatever he wanted. In addition to the obsession with the little dragon girl, he no longer cares about everything in the world. In his early years, he wanted to create his own martial arts, although he did not succeed, but he also achieved integration. Therefore, the Lone Nine Swords, which only attack and are not prepared for the enemy, are more likely to be created by Yang Guo.
In addition to this, there is also a reason for this is time. Because one thing is certain, the era background of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" is far after the divine eagle, the divine eagle is the last year of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the heavenly connection is the end of the Mongolian Yuan, and the word Ming Taizu appears from the laughing pride, in fact, it has been judged that it must be after the Ming Dynasty, or it may be the Qing Dynasty (because the Ming Dynasty people should say that it is the Taizu of this dynasty).
Therefore, as a Tang Dynasty person (speculation), he was already an ancient in the eyes of later generations of chivalrous people. According to the ancient customs of the Heavenly Dynasty, for such a person, many people in the future will attach martial arts that do not know the provenance to him in order to increase his popularity and be widely disseminated. This also leads to a difference between the image of the god statue and the lonely and defeated in the laughing pride.
