In the martial arts world, the real strong are often not angry, have no violent tendencies, and do not have any fame and fortune to fight, and have grudges and hatreds. They rarely make a shot, and one shot is bound to shock the martial forest, and they rarely speak, but as soon as they speak, they are bound to wake up the world. They combine martial arts with life and thought, see through the essence of martial arts, dissolve great virtues in martial arts, lead the world to a higher realm of cultivation, and make martial arts more harmonious.
The reason why Jin Yong parachuted a sweeping monk in the masterful "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon" may be precisely to tell the world this.
There are really many high-ranking people in the "Eight Parts of heavenly dragons", such as the three brothers of tianlong, the four absolute masters of heavenly dragons, the four evil people, the three elders of idleness, etc., and the strength of each of them can be comparable to that of the protagonist in the martial arts of later generations. However, although they were the world's top masters, when the sweeping monks appeared, they were all instantly small, and compared with the strength of the sweeping monks, they were a cliff-like gap, even a gap between man and god. It can be said that the sweeping monk is the first highest person in Jin Yong's martial arts.
The difference between ordinary people and gods is that ordinary people's martial arts moves are imaginable and figurative; but God's martial arts moves are abstract and beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Sweeping monk, an old monk sweeping the floor in the Shaolin Temple's Tibetan Scripture Cabinet, Jin Yong did not even give him a name, and even did not explain his origin, he appeared like a passerby, but a random move, he killed a number of head masters in a second, casually said a few words, it pointed through the fog in the hearts of many people, and resolved the disputes between the parties.
Whether it is martial arts, the realm of wisdom and thought, and the sweeping monks are all unparalleled in the world, it is difficult to find his opponents in the martial arts world. Therefore, the sweeping monk became a myth of martial arts, overshadowing the protagonist.
The sweeping monk appears in chapter 43 of the novel, he sweeps the floor in the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet for many years, but many masters come and go in the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet, and they have never discovered his existence, and even he himself cannot remember how many years he has been in the Tibetan Scripture Cabinet.
At the Shaomushan Wulin Gathering, just when Xiao Yuanshan's family and Murong Bo's family were fighting each other because of their old grudges, the sweeping monk appeared leisurely, and he defused Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo's life-and-death struggle with one move, brought the two back to life with superb medical skills, and also used Buddhism to resolve the old hatred of the two people, so that the two were enlightened, frozen out of their previous suspicions, and converted to Buddhism.
In this process, he did not forget to remind the martial artists who had stolen the Shaolin Sect's stunts, reminding them of the drawbacks of stealing Shaolin stunts, which would lead to anti-phagocytic diseases due to insufficient cultivation of the Dharma mentality, so as to advise everyone to stop and not to act willfully.
Hatsuma Zhi was not convinced, and secretly attacked the sweeping monk with the "No Phase Robbery Finger", but was unexpectedly easily blocked by the sweeping monk from the three-foot air wall, and the sweeping monk saw at a glance that Hatsuma had secretly practiced the Xiao Wu Xiang Gong of the QiaoYao Sect, and also implied that Hatsuma Zhi used the Xiao Wu Xiang Gong luck to make Shaolin 72 stunts harmful, and in the long run it was bound to go crazy. Unfortunately, Hatsuma Chi did not wake up until after he had finished his work.
When the sweeping monk was circling with Murong Bo of Xiaoyuan Mountain, he took over Xiao Feng's eighteen palms of descending dragons with ten successful forces, and at that time, he did not do his best to receive Xiao Feng's palm, perhaps he underestimated Xiao Feng, perhaps he wanted to test Xiao Feng's strength, although he was hit and vomited blood, but there were too many objective factors in this, not enough to prove the strength of the sweeping monk, nor could he shake his position as the first in Jin Yong martial arts.
Because, before this, there was a description in the book that when Xiao Feng and Murong Fu attacked the sweeping monk together, the sweeping monk luck made the three-foot air wall instantly dissolve Xiao Feng's palm power of the mountains and the sea, that is to say, Xiao Feng slapped a lonely slap with all his strength, which shows that if the sweeping monk did not voluntarily take over, he was fully capable of dissolving Xiao Feng's descending dragon eighteen palms.
Life in the world, love and hate, fame and fortune, grace and resentment, and the level of martial arts, in fact, in the end, are only passing the clouds, the sweeping monk has long realized this, his existence, like the savior of the lost mortals, to cross all their sufferings, to the highest state of life.
