"The Legend of the Archery Hero", "The Divine Eagle Hero" and "The Tale of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens" are three classic martial arts works by Mr. Jin Yong.
Because the timeline of these three works is closely connected, it is collectively called the "Shooting Trilogy".
Who is the first master of the Archery Trilogy?
"The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" and "The Eagle Hero", the top masters are on the surface, that is, the five absolutes.
The strength of the five masters is in the same grade, and although there is a gap between them, it is not big.
The strength and weakness of the five masters are actually fluctuating according to time.
Beiqi was quite fierce before, and his skills were greatly damaged after being secretly calculated by Ouyang Feng, and even Ouyang Ke could not win.
However, Beiqi relied on the Nine Yin True Scriptures to wash the marrow and improve the muscles, recovered a lot, and after hard training, the skill was a little stronger than before.
What about Ouyang Feng? After he practiced the Nine Yins, although he was nervous, his moves were strange and unpredictable, and no one could beat him.
As for Guo Jing, the junior, he was slightly better than Qiu Qianling when he was on The Second Theory of Mount Hua.
At the beginning of "Divine Eagle", Guo Jing has been practicing asceticism for more than ten years, and the Nine Yin True Scriptures have greatly increased his internal strength.
At this time, Guo Jing, one move to descend the dragon eighteen palms, contains thirteen strands of stamina, and can also "just be born to soft".
Yang Guo and Guo Jing's strength are indistinguishable, but Yang Guo is better at playing headwinds, because the "dark" state of mind can explode.
What we said above are all the "five absolute" masters on the surface.
These three martial arts works, the masters of martial arts above the five masters, there are three, and each one has one.
In "The Legend of the Archery Hero", whose martial arts are above the five extremes? It is the "Nine Yin Sect Master" Huang Bao.
Although wang Chongyang's cultivation behavior was obviously above the other four, it was not much stronger.
Wang Chongyang was not much sure of winning against Ouyang Feng, so he traveled thousands of miles to Dali to exchange a Yang finger.
And the Nine Yin True Scriptures created by Huang Bao were of great benefit to the five masters.
Even Wang Chongyang couldn't help but spend seven days and seven nights thoroughly studying the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
In "Divine Eagle Hero", whose martial arts are above the five extremes? It is the sword demon who is alone and defeated!
Although Yang Guo had cultivated the Xuan Iron Heavy Sword, he had not reached the swordless realm of seeking defeat alone.
In other words, Yang Guo's internal strength cultivation was still unable to achieve the "Sword Qi" realm.
Moreover, the actual battle of seeking defeat alone can be called insoluble, and it is impossible to seek defeat!
In "The Record of the Dragon Slaughter in the Heavens", Zhang Sanfeng's martial arts cultivation is a riding dust, which is significantly higher than Zhang Wujie.
Zhang Wuji practiced a variety of top martial arts such as Qiankun Great Shifting, Taijiquan Sword, Sacred Fire Ling Qigong, Seven Wounded Fists, and Nine Yang True Classics.
However, Zhang Wuji's combat skills, actual combat ability, and martial arts realm were still far behind Zhang Sanfeng.com.
Zhang Wuji, who has achieved great martial arts, singled out the second elder of Xuan Di at the end of the book, and after one hundred moves, he had the upper hand, and two hundred moves to take down the second elder of Xuan Di.
Twenty years ago, Zhang Sanfeng, at the centennial birthday banquet, held down the crane pen weng with one hand and defeated the enemy with one move.
From this point of view, the number one master of the "Archery Trilogy" should be one of Huang Bao, Lonely Seek defeat, and Zhang Sanfeng.
However, this angle is the angle of the newly revised version.
In the serial version of the "Archery Trilogy", there is also a top master who is difficult to look back at.
This person's martial arts cultivation is just above Huang Bao, Du Lonely Seeking Defeat, and Zhang Sanfeng. Who is this person?
This person is the Shaolin Ancestor, Dharma.
The Dharma in the serial version is ridiculously strong, and he has developed three ceiling-level martial arts: the Yi Jian Sutra, the Nine Yang Divine Gong, and the Nine Yin True Scriptures.
You look at these three supreme martial arts, the Nine Yin True Scriptures, the Nine Yang True Classics, and the Yi Jian Classics.
These three martial arts, no matter which martial arts work Jin Yong puts in, can be regarded as martial arts at the ceiling level of martial arts.
Dharma was able to study these three martial arts, and how strong was his martial arts cultivation?
It is estimated that even the Qiaozi of the Qiaoyao Sect had to say respectfully when they saw Damo, "Or you are strong!" ”
That is to say, Dharma Grandmaster is the number one master in the serial version of the "Shooting Eagle Trilogy", and the cultivation is far better than the second place.
However, according to the setting of the serial version of the "Archery Trilogy", the martial arts cultivation of Dharma Grandmaster is also a bit too high.
It can't be said that his cultivation is "Shocking Ancient Shuojin", only that he is close to the Immortals, and can even compete with Nezha.
If Dharma studied these three martial arts, not only Wang Chongyang, but even Zhang Sanfeng could not be compared with Dharma.
In this way, the overall strength of the Shaolin Sect should also be very high, and it can hang the martial arts factions in the world.
However, in the two works of "Shooting Eagle" and "Divine Eagle", there is not a single Shaolin monk among the five masters.
Moreover, the Shaolin masters did not understand the Nine Yin True Scriptures and the Nine Yang Divine Gong.
In this way, the Shaolin school's martial arts system is top-heavy, although there is a top martial art, but there is no top master.
As a result, when Mr. Jin Yong revised the "Archery Trilogy", he greatly weakened the Dharma Patriarch.
Of the three supreme martial arts created by Dharma, Jin Yong deleted the Nine Yin True Sutra and the Nine Yang Divine Gong, leaving only the Yi Jian Sutra.
In the newly revised edition of the Biography of the Archery Hero, through the mouth of Zhou Botong, the author of the Nine Yin True Scriptures became Huang Bao.
The author of the "Nine Yang Divine Gong" became a "lifelong Confucian taoist monk who practiced both Confucianism and Taoism".
Only the author of the I Ching Sutra is still Dharma Guru.
However, there are also problems with the setting of the I Ching Sutra.
First of all, the sweeping monk said that it is necessary to break through the "martial arts barrier" and have advanced Dharma in order to cultivate the Yi Jian Sutra.
So the question is, Where do You Tanzhi and Ling Hu Chong understand what Dharma is different?
The second question is, how strong is the Yi Jian Jing? Doesn't seem too strong.
You Tanzhi and Ling Hu Chong practiced, but You Tanzhi could not win Qiao Feng, so that Hu Chong could not win the East undefeated.
If you say that You Tanzhi and Ling Hu Chong are not professional enough, what about the Shaolin Sect's Fang Zheng Master?
Fang Zheng also practiced the Yi Jian Jing, but Fang Zheng was very difficult to beat any of my lines, not to mention that the East was undefeated.
In other words, the true power of the Yi Jian Jing is far less than that of the Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Yang Divine Gong.
