Qiu Ishiji is one of the main characters in "The Legend of the Archery Hero", and even to some extent, it can be said to be the first master of the five masters. Not only was he able to defeat the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan with his own strength at the beginning of the game, but in the middle of the game, he was also the three masters under Yan Honglie, the King of Zhao of the Jin Dynasty, who singled out Sha Tongtian, Peng Lianhu and Ouyang Ke. If you can have such a master with good character and high martial arts, you should be very lucky, and Yang Kang is this lucky person.
However, many people say that Yang Kang was taught by Qiu Zhiji to be defeated, what is going on?
The reason why Qiu Chuji would teach Yang Kang was because of an agreement with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and Qiu Chuji fought hard because of a misunderstanding, so they were considered to have tied the knot.
In fact, both sides are considered good people in the book, especially the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, chivalrous and upright. However, there is a bad habit, that is, love is more true. Its martial arts are not enough for the real masters, a big war, with the other party's inattention to use the dark weapon to barely fight a draw.
If it is really a head-on duel, the seven monsters of Jiangnan must be dead and lifeless under Qiu Chuji's hands. In order to resolve the contradiction with these seven tendons, Qiu Chuji came up with an idea, and the two sides went to Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin's descendants and taught them that eighteen years later, there would be another big battle in Jiaxing to decide the victory or defeat.
Because at that time, the Jin Kingdom did not actually have a group of top masters like the later Mongol Master Jinlun. The highest martial artists were the five Tibetan and Han Masters recruited by King Yan Honglie of Zhao, including Sha Tongtian, Peng Lianhu, Ouyang Ke, Liang Ziweng and Lingzhi Shangren. Their martial arts skills are actually even worse than those of Zhiqiu.
Therefore, when Qiu Zhongji found Yang Kang (then called Guanyan Kang), who had become the righteous son of Guanyan Honglie, Yan Honglie was definitely willing, and hoped to take this opportunity to take Qiu Shuji into his hands. However, it is clear that this has not been done in more than a decade.
In the archery, Qiu Zhiji is defined as the national chivalrous heart (completely different from the historical facts), so he has always regarded the Jinguo as an enemy country in his heart.
Yang Kang's martial arts were actually not bad (compared to Guo Jing), but Yang Kang's luck after that was far worse than Guo Jing's, and he never had the opportunity to get the top master to teach him (such as Ouyang Feng), which resulted in the fact that the gap between him and Guo Jing's martial arts was getting bigger and bigger, so that later even Huang Rong was far from being able to compare, so that he finally sought his own death.
From the first contest between Yang Kang and Guo Jing, it can be seen that Yang Kang has a slight upper hand, and Guo Jing's advantage is that he is physically strong and more resistant to beating, so the two sides are on a par with each other.
Is this the difference between the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and the teachings of Qiu Chuji? Of course not. Guo Jing's strength before the age of sixteen was the result of being taught by the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, and at that time, Guo Jing's martial arts were probably not even able to defeat a Yellow River Four Ghosts. Guo Jing was considered stupid by the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, believing that if he practiced for twenty or thirty years, he might have half the skill of the four heroes Nancy Ren.
In fact, judging from Guo Jing's performance later, he was not stupid, but the seven monsters of Jiangnan had taught the lawlessness before. That is to say, in the "Biography of the Archery Hero", it is very normal for the master to teach the apprentice to be one grade lower than himself, even Ouyang Ke taught by Ouyang Feng, Qu Lingfeng taught by Huang Yaoshi, and so on.
Therefore, Guo Jing was later taught internal skills by Ma Yu, the first disciple of the Seventh Son of Quanzhen, so he made great progress in martial arts and could be on par with Yang Kang.
In this way, Yang Kang's martial arts were not a complete failure.
Why didn't Qiu Shuji teach Guo Jing? Naturally, it started because of the previous agreement, and then there was no chance. When both Guo Jing and Huang Rong had worshipped Hong Qigong as their teacher, how could Qiu Chuji still teach Guo Jing?
After only studying with Hong Qigong for a few months, Guo Jing's martial arts were no less than those of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan. By the time the second Huashan sword discussion at the end of the archery, Guo Jing's martial arts had far surpassed Qiu's chances.
In the end, it is not a matter of teaching, but of personal strength.
