Zhang Sanfeng is a high-ranking figure who appears directly in Jin Yong's pen, in the position of a grand master, and can be compared with Dharma. Although Zhang Sanfeng is not the male protagonist, his prestige in the martial arts world is extremely high, and he is also a real historical figure, and in history, his popularity is also very high and his status is extraordinary.
However, many people believe that Zhang Sanfeng's strength in "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens" has been weakened, what is going on? Let's take a look.
First, his most beloved disciple Zhang Cuishan and his wife committed suicide, but Zhang Sanfeng had no choice.
Although Zhang Cuishan was Zhang Sanfeng's fifth disciple, he was actually his closed disciple, because the two disciples who were later received, Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu, were actually taught martial arts on behalf of Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou.
Moreover, among the heavens, Zhang Sanfeng liked Zhang Cuishan the most, and also thought that Zhang Cuishan was most like himself. Many times, Zhang Cuishan's understanding of martial arts was extremely high, and his talent was higher than that of other disciples, and Zhang Sanfeng even deliberately passed on the mantle to Zhang Cuishan.
Zhang CuiShan, because he participated in Wang Panshan's dragon slaying knife display meeting, was abducted to Ice and Fire Island by Xie Xun, the Golden Retriever King, who met unexpectedly, and was abducted with him, as well as Yin Susu, the daughter of Yin Tianzheng, the leader of the Heavenly Eagle Sect.
Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu secretly had a love affair on Ice and Fire Island, married each other, and after ten years, finally returned to Wudang Mountain. At that time, coinciding with Zhang Sanfeng's centenary birthday, Zhang Cuishan learned that the third master's brother Yu Daiyan was crippled, which was indirectly done by Yin Susu, and he was very guilty, and apologized for his crime with death, and Yin Susu was also martyred because of Zhang Cuishan's suicide.
Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu's suicide, the incident occurred suddenly, without any signs, Zhang Sanfeng did not expect it, even if he was high in martial arts, he could not predict in advance what Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were thinking, unless he could read the mind, it was difficult to rescue, which had nothing to do with whether the martial arts were high or not.
Second, two disciples were crippled, but Zhang Sanfeng was powerless.
When Yu Daiyan, the three heroes of Wudang, were on a mission alone, they were secretly calculated by the Heavenly Eagle Sect Yin Ye Wang and Yin Susu and others, resulting in paralysis of the whole body, and then on the way back to Wudang Mountain, they were seriously injured by the Ruyang King's palace master Ah San with the finger power of The King Kong, resulting in the paralysis of the whole body and the total destruction of martial arts.
When Yin Liting, the sixth hero of Wudang, was also on a mission, he was seriously injured by the ruyang palace master with a hercules finger, resulting in a mutilation of his limbs.
Yu Daiyan and Yin Liting were seriously injured and disabled, they were both attacked by sneak attacks, at first, the murderer was unknown to everyone, for such a sudden event, Zhang Sanfeng, even if he had the ultimate divine skill, he could only watch the two disciples suffer in pain but could not do anything.
Third, Zhang Wuji was seriously injured by the Xuan Di God's palm, but Zhang Sanfeng could not save him.
Zhang Wuji was poisoned to the bone by the Palm of the Xuan Nether God, and even the medical immortal Hu Qingniu could not save him. In order to save Zhang Wuji, Zhang Sanfeng, who had not been out of the mountains for many years, personally took Zhang Wuji to the Shaolin Sect to seek medical treatment. Although Zhang Sanfeng alone made the whole Shaolin tremble with fear, Shaolin did not give him this face and was unwilling to save Zhang Wujie.
Zhang Sanfeng tried his best, but the result was that he could not help this disciple. Fortunately, Zhang Wuji has the aura of the protagonist, because of the adventure, he got the original Nine Yang True Scriptures, and cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Gong to detoxify himself.
Fourth, Zhang Sanfeng's generation of masters was injured by the Western Regions Diamond Gate master gang xiang and vomited blood.
Some people said that this sneak attack was successful when Zhang Sanfeng was unprepared. But thinking about it, Zhang Sanfeng was such a master, and his martial arts realm should have reached the point where he had a keen ability to deal with sudden attacks. However, the result was that Zhang Sanfeng was successfully attacked by Gang Xiang, which shows that Zhang Sanfeng's strength was weakened by Jin Yong, because only in this way could he lead to the bridge section in which the latter advocate unscrupulously broke the siege of Wudang.
epilogue
Throughout the "Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", although Zhang Sanfeng has extremely high prestige and is invincible in the martial arts realm, in this novel, he has never been able to prove his strength with solid achievements. The reason is also very simple, after all, Zhang Sanfeng is not the male protagonist, and his every appearance is more to flatter the aura of the male protagonist. Rather than saying that Zhang Sanfeng's strength in "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtered in the Heavens" was weakened, it was better to say that Jin Yong did it for the needs of the plot.
