From 1955 to 1956, Jin Yong completed his second full-length martial arts novel, The Blue Blood Sword.
"Green Blood Sword" mainly tells the story of a series of jianghu feuds caused by Yuan Chengzhi, the son of the famous Ming Dynasty general Yuan Chonghuan, who helped Li Zicheng seize the Daming Jiangshan, and the family and national hatreds were intertwined, surpassing the traditional martial arts novels, which were well received after their appearance, bringing Great Fame and Considerable Economic Income to Jin Yong.
In The Sword of Green Blood, when Li Zicheng led his troops to attack the capital, the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty cut off the arm of his daughter Ah Jiu (Princess Changping) before committing suicide. Subsequently, Ah Jiu converted to Buddhism and studied under Mu Sang Daochang, worshiping under the Iron Sword Gate, and eventually becoming a martial arts master. The book says: "Wei Xiaobao, a strange man in the early years of the Kangxi Dynasty, Gan Fengchi, Bai Taiguan, Lü Siniang, and others in the yongzheng period all came from her disciples. ”
Here, Jin Yong mentions 4 characters: Wei Xiaobao, Gan Fengchi, Bai Taiguan, and Lv Siniang. Later, when Jin Yong created "Deer DingJi", he wrote Wei Xiaobao into it and became a male protagonist. At that time, the Nine Difficulties Master Tai (one-armed god nun) was still alive, and under the wrong yin and yang, he also became Wei Xiaobao's master, teaching the martial art "Divine Action" specially used for escape.
However, Gan Fengchi, Bai Taiguan, and Lü Siniang were never mentioned by Jin Yong again—as if Jin Yong had forgotten these three people. Instead, Liang Yusheng wrote their stories in the "Tianshan" series of martial arts novels.
In the fourth part of the "Tianshan" series, "Three Women of Jianghu", the protagonist is the three women of Jianghu composed of Lv Siniang, Feng Ying and Feng Lin. Among them, Lv Siniang is also the person with the highest martial arts among the three female heroines in the jianghu.
According to the setting of "Three Heroines of Jianghu", Lü Siniang is a descendant of the famous Ru Liuliang in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. She is the closed disciple of the one-armed god Ni, one of the "Eight Heroes of Jiangnan", beautiful and resolute, generous and wise, and is a veritable first master in the world.
She has a master brother named Yin, although the martial arts are very high, but the nature of greed, after the martial arts are completed, down the mountain was bribed by the fourth prince Yun Zhen (Yongzheng Emperor), doing many evils, has always been a scourge of the jianghu. Lü Siniang, with her excellent sword skills, killed Yin and cleaned up the division. Later, Lü Siniang quietly infiltrated the Qing Palace and assassinated the Yongzheng Emperor.
In fact, Lü Siniang herself is a folklore figure, and the story of her assassination of the Yongzheng Emperor has spread widely in folklore. Since the 1940s, people have continuously adapted the story of Lv Siniang into film and television dramas, including Li's TV "Da Nei Qunying" and TVB "Lv Siniang", including more than 20 films.
Not only that, in Liang Yusheng's "Tianshan" series of martial arts novels, in addition to "Three Heroines of jianghu", there are also many novels that mention Lü Siniang, such as "The Legend of the Glacier Heavenly Woman", "Ice Cold Lightsaber", "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge", "Ice River Washing Sword Record", "Wind and Thunder Earthquake Jiuzhou", "Chivalrous Danxin", "Makino Meteor", "Finger Thunder" and so on.
Gan Fengchi is also a "regular" in Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels.
Gan Fengchi is one of the "Eight Heroes of Jiangnan", the seven disciples of the one-armed god Ni and the brother of Lü Siniang. Due to the age of the one-armed god, after Gan Fengchi entered the division, he was taught by the master brother Indai, so his martial arts came from the cause. However, Gan Fengchi's style was upright, jealous and hateful, and after knowing that he had defected to the Qing court and committed a series of evil deeds, he resolutely and righteously destroyed his relatives to draw a line with him, and also worked with other brothers and sisters to eliminate him.
If Gan Fengchi is placed in Jin Yong's novel, it must be Qiao Feng and Guo Jing, who are righteous and virtuous. Gan Fengchi is the most chivalrous character in "The Three Heroines of jianghu", and every appearance will cause a thunderous sensation and bring its own protagonist aura.
Such a heroic character, Liang Yusheng naturally reluctant to use it only in a martial arts novel. In novels such as "The Legend of the Glacier Heavenly Woman", "The Origin of the Jade Bow of yunhai", "The Record of the Ice River Washing Sword", "Wind and Thunder Earthquake in Jiuzhou", and "Heroic Bone Danxin", Liang Yusheng has mentioned the name and story of Gan Fengchi to varying degrees.
In contrast, There are not many deeds of Bai Taiguan.
Although Bai Taiguan was also one of the "Eight Heroes of Jiangnan", the five disciples of the one-armed god Ni, and his martial arts were almost the same as those of Yin, Gan Fengchi, and Lü Siniang, his popularity was far less than that of the above-mentioned people.
It is a folk tale that makes Bai Taiguan look a little different. After traveling all over the world, Bai Taiguan returned to his hometown after many years of absence. When he came to the outside of the village, he saw an eight- or nine-year-old child practicing martial arts, which seemed extraordinary. Bai Taiguan admired it, and thought about it, when this child grew up, his martial arts would definitely surpass his own, and he couldn't help but get jealous and find an excuse to test martial arts with children. During the competition, Bai Taiguan took the opportunity to kill and put the child to death. Before the child was desperate, he stared at Bai Taiguan and gritted his teeth and said, "My father Bai Taiguan will definitely avenge me when he comes back!" ”
It turned out that Bai Taiguan, out of jealousy, actually killed his own flesh and blood with his own hands.
