Any art is inseparable from life, even some dreamlike martial arts novels.
For example, the jianghu love affair in "Tianlong Babu", although there is a lot of heroic spirit in the author's pen, but because of its historical background as a background, it seems very grounded, and it makes people's blood boil after watching.
And the ending of the three protagonists, in addition to Qiao Feng's death is regrettable, the other two are not bad.
According to the content of the ending, Duan Yu later became emperor, while Xuan Zhu carried out heroic battles with Miao Jiaofeng and the QiaoYao faction, which was not happy.
However, many people do not know that the Duan Yu in the story actually has its historical prototype, which is more prominent in the new version of the "Legend of the Archery Hero", and is very similar to the real Emperor Duan Heyu of dali in history.
The book describes:
"Duan Yu, Emperor Xuanren of Dali Xianzong, ascended the throne with the era name 'Rixin', and later changed his name to Wenzhi, Yongjia, Baotian, and Guangyun, with a total of five era names, and then avoided the throne as a monk.
According to this statement, it is indeed very similar to Duan Heyu.
Not to mention that their names are only a word difference, let's say that their life experience is to be emperors for more than 40 years. Because dali changes once every seven or eight years on average, 5 era numbers are almost 40 years.
Of course, the two eventually became monks, but the reasons for becoming monks were different.
It can be said that the life experiences of the two are almost exactly the same.
The historical Duan Heyu lived to be 93 years old, and if he is the prototype of Duan Yu in the book, then it can be completely inferred that Duan Yu also lived 93 years old.
However, there is a question here, since Duan Yu can live so long, then why did Xuan Zhu die prematurely?
Of course, the book does not mention the time of the death of the virtual bamboo, but from the description in the new version of the archery we can still infer the general situation.
According to the description in the new version of the archery eagle, the virtual bamboo led the Miaomiao Peak people to perform heroic deeds and do a lot of good things, and also streamlined and optimized Qiao Feng's descending dragon twenty-eight palms into eighteen palms, and its power was more powerful than before.
After changing it, he passed on the palm method to the new gang leader.
Soon after, however, the Runaway Sect and Miaomiao Peak suddenly disappeared. This is difficult to understand, if it were not for the death of the virtual bamboo, how could the Two Gate Sect suddenly disappear?
Some Jin Yong fans speculated that perhaps they encountered a more powerful enemy and killed the false bamboo, the gate sect was leaderless, and finally was killed by the enemy, which caused the door sect to suddenly disappear.
However, according to the martial arts cultivation of the virtual bamboo, at that time, there were basically no opponents in the world, and this statement was almost impossible.
Even if you really encounter a powerful opponent and do not have an enemy, then self-protection should not be too much of a problem, why will the sect scatter and disappear in the jianghu?
The only explanation is that The Virtual Bamboo suddenly died violently, he did not arrange a follow-up, plus his martial arts were not taught, even if there were capable people in the sect, but without the ultimate learning body, naturally it could not be inherited.
Just like the gang in "Tianlong Eight Parts", when Qiao Feng left, the gang became a gang to be slaughtered, and even You Tanzhi, who had learned the fur of the Yi Jian Jing, could run amok and become the leader of the gang, which is very telling.
But the strange thing is, why did the virtual bamboo suddenly die? So that even the aftermath has not been arranged?
For this point, the sweeping monk has already given the answer.
During the Great War of the Original Tibetan Scripture Cabinet, the sweeping monk clearly pointed out that as the cultivation of martial arts became higher and higher, people's various desires would germinate in their hearts, so they needed the Dharma to dissolve, otherwise they would die violently because they were caught in the fire.
This is called "seeing the obstacle".
The sweeping monks particularly emphasized that this is true not only in Shaolin martial arts, but also in all disciplines and sects of the world.
We see that many people in the original work were victimized by this, such as Jiu Mozhi, Xiao Yuanshan, and Murong Bo.
So when we look back at The Void Bamboo and Duan Yu, Duan Yu became a monk when he was about 60 years old, so perhaps he had already experienced the power of "knowledge and seeing obstacles", so he became a monk to practice Buddhism to resolve it.
Coupled with the fact that Duan Yu himself did not like to learn martial arts, his martial arts were the worst among the three brothers, and if it were not for his talent and intelligence and successive adventures, he would not have achieved the later martial arts cultivation.
Although Xiao Yao sent his own Taoists, he may also be able to resolve the "obstacle of knowledge", but when Xiao Yaozi taught his skills, he died because of the scattered skills, and did not teach how to remove the "obstacle of knowledge".
After that, Xuan Zhu also learned the "method of killing people" in miaomiaofeng, so he entered the "obstacle of knowledge" very early, which may be the reason for his premature death.
Of course, the above argument is only out of love, and there must be some wrong with it, and perhaps other problems. However, from the setting of "Tianlong Babu", it is most reasonable that The virtual bamboo died of "knowledge obstacle".
I don't know what everyone thinks?
