A friend asked, in Mr. Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Archery Hero", if Ma Yu were to teach Guo Jing, would it be better than the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan?
In Mr. Jin Yong's novel "The Legend of the Archery Hero", Guo Jing began to learn martial arts with his master Jiangnan Seven Monsters at the age of six, and before he met Ma Yu at the age of sixteen, the martial arts had been improving very slowly, similar to what Xiu Xian said in the novel, which encountered a bottleneck and got stuck in a stage. Guo Jing in this period is like going up against the current, making no inch, and even retreating in a hurry.
Ma Yu was the head of the Quanzhen Sect, the head of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, and the first disciple of Chongyang, the King of Zhongshen. He was a very important nobleman in Guo Jing's life, helping Guo Jing break the first bottleneck in martial arts and laying the foundation for him.
Regarding the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan teaching Guo Jing martial arts, many people think that they did not teach well and buried Guo Jing, a "genius". In fact, such a statement is too one-sided. This matter is not all the problem of the seven monsters, Guo Jing also has some problems.
First of all, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan are too competitive, and their obsession with winning the opportunity is too deep, so they know that the "cramming" education method is not suitable for Guo Jing, or they are eager to succeed.
Many people feel that the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan will not be taught at all, which is completely delaying Guo Jing.
In fact, it's not that they can't teach, it's that they want to teach better. The seven monsters of Jiangnan are all people from bitter backgrounds, and they know that it is not easy to practice martial arts. All seven of them had been practicing martial arts for a lifetime, and with Guo Jing's qualifications, it was enough to train one of them. However, how could one person teach Guo Jing and the other five people be able to bear to watch and not hand it over to this "stupid disciple"?
However, the six monsters were bent on winning over Qiu Chuji, knowing that "it is better to specialize in one art" and the truth that "it is better to specialize in one art", they always refused to have a martial art in vain, but they stood by and watched, and did not pass it on to this fool. ...... (The newly revised version of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero")
Therefore, it is not that the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan do not understand, but they are too competitive.
Secondly, Guo Jing in this period was still very ignorant, learning martial arts did not know how to start, nor did he know how to give full play to his own advantages, he would only bury his head in hard training.
As Ma Yu said, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and Guo Jing are teaching but not knowing their methods, and learning is not their way.
The Daoist laughed and said, "That may not be the case, this is teaching but not knowing the fa, learning but not the way." ”...... (The newly revised version of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero")
All in all, there is a problem with the method of the Seven Monsters Sect in Jiangnan, and there is also a problem with Guo Jing's learning.
But then again, Guo Jing and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan have been learning martial arts for so long, not without achieving anything, at least the foundation of external skills has been very solid, but the skills have not been refined.
Therefore, we can't deny the merits of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, although the results of their teaching Guo Jing are not the best results, but there are still some achievements.
If Ma Yu had taught Guo Jing at the beginning, wouldn't it have been better than the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan?
Guo Jing of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan did have some achievements, but I have to admit that if Ma Yu had been allowed to teach at the beginning, he would definitely have taught them a lot better than them.
The reason why Ma Yu taught Guo Jing better was because he knew better how to teach his disciples, his personal realm and martial arts were also higher, and he would understand Guo Jing better.
First of all, Ma Yu was the one who had obtained the True Transmission of Wang Chongyang's Dao Fa, compared to the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, his realm and insight were relatively high, and his martial arts were relatively high, and his ability in this regard of the disciples was not comparable to that of the Seven Monsters.
Secondly, the seven monsters of Jiangnan are all people who do not know internal skills, and their martial arts are all pure external skills, and it is very hard to practice. And Ma Yu is the head teacher of the Quanzhen Sect, and he has more resources in his hands, which can give Guo Jing a better choice. Moreover, the Quanzhen Sect of Martial Arts, known as the "True Sect of the World", is a representative of the Taoist Xuanmen martial arts, broad and profound, and also very suitable for people with Guo Jing's personality.
In the end, Ma Yu was an honest and loyal person, elegant and easy-going, and very wise. Compared with the violent temper of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, he was more tolerant of Guo Jing, and it was easier to discover the excellent essence of Guo Jing, and then teach according to his aptitude, choose the martial arts that suited him to teach slowly, and most importantly, let him understand.
Guo Jing and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan learn martial arts, and have always been very anxious and remorseful. He always felt that he was stupid, that he could not learn martial arts well, and that he had failed several masters. Under such pressure, he would be impatient, unable to be calm, and naturally he would not understand the true meaning of the martial arts he had learned, and he would only know how to immerse himself in hard training, and the final result was that the more he practiced, the worse he became.
If the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan were replaced by Ma Yu, then he would certainly not put Guo Jing under pressure, because he knew that Xi Wu was most afraid of impatience, especially Taoist kung fu, and only with a calm heart could he practice martial arts, which was the gap between the realm of Daoist real people and ordinary people.
All in all, we do not deny the achievements of Guo Jing in the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, but we have to admit that if Ma Yu teaches Guo Jing instead, he will definitely be able to teach better.
