On the surface, the most cattle man in the double eagle era is Wang Chongyang.
In the archery, Wang Chongyang was the final victor of the first Huashan Discourse On the Sword, and also the first of the five absolutes, and his strength was better than that of the Eastern Evil, the Western Poison, the Southern Emperor, and the Northern Qi at that time. In the divine sculpture, although Wang Chongyang has long passed away, his legend runs through the whole process. When the Valley of Absolute Love was dueling against the Golden Wheel Guoshi, Zhou Botong shouted and shouted, saying that if the master brother was alive, he would be able to win you with few moves. Although there is no way to verify, at the very least, Wang Chongyang's status and strength have given Zhou Botong the capital and confidence to brag.
However, after all, Wang Chongyang died too early, so that Zhou Botong could not fully believe his words. At the same time, Wang Chongyang's premature death has also become a hard injury to him, making his strength a mystery after all, and it is impossible to directly compare with the masters of later generations.
So, did Wang Chongyang's martial arts really reach the top level?
In fact, this question is roughly equivalent to asking, what is the level of Huashan's theory?
Hua Shan discussed the sword a total of three times, and the five martial arts were of course not immutable as they grew older. At the time of Huashan's first theory, the Eastern Evil and the other four were only in their thirties, and the cultivation of martial arts naturally could not be compared with the time of the second theory and three theories. Among them, there is a detail in the god sculpture, which reflects the standard of Huashan's theory from the side.
Yang Guo, who was less than twenty years old, used his internal force to let out a long roar, which greatly shocked Huang Yaoshi, thinking that he would only be able to cultivate this way when he was thirty years old. At that time, Yang Guo had only just come out of the ancient tomb not long ago, and he was far from being as powerful as after he met the eagle brother later. But even so, it was still better than the thirty-year-old Huang Yaoshi. At the time of HuaShan's discussion, Huang Yaoshi was only in his thirties, that is to say, at that time, his internal strength was not much stronger than that of twenty-year-old Yang Guo.
The level of Huashan's theory can be seen.
Of course, since Wang Chongyang has the ability to suppress four people and win the first place in the world, he is certainly stronger than Huang Yaoshi. But how much stronger can it be? In fact, there is a detail that can locate Wang Chongyang's martial arts level. In fact, this detail does not need to be analyzed too much, nor does it have to be laborious to take the data to discuss the actual combat, this detail is only a natural factor, and it can be explained directly.
In fact, as mentioned earlier, this natural factor is that Wang Chongyang is too short-lived.
The short life here is relatively speaking. Wang Chongyang was about sixty or seventy years old when he died, which is actually not short. But compared with the same level of Huang Yaoshi, Yi Deng, and others, he really didn't live very long. The older brothers were close to 100 years old by the end of the divine sculpture.
Wang Chongyang's short life also lies in his martial arts background. Don't forget, he is a master taoist.
Jin Yong's pen, but all Daoist masters, there is no short life. For example, Zhang Sanfeng was already more than 110 years old at the end of the tiantian period, and he had not lived enough. Another example is Wuyazi, who was harmed by Ding Chunqiu like that, and still lived to the age of 93, and if it were not for the transmission of his skills to the virtual bamboo, he would still be able to survive, and it would not be a problem to cross the hundred years.
In fact, Taoist martial arts inherently contain the content of health maintenance, so the life expectancy of Daoist masters is generally very long, which is a bonus in the number of their martial arts paths.
But what about Wang Chongyang? There are also the top Taoist masters, but he has only lived for more than sixty years.
You must know that Wang Chongyang died at the end of his life, not in an accident, so his life expectancy is completely related to his own cultivation. As early as when he went to Dali to teach Duan Huangye, he knew that the limit had arrived. It can be seen that he himself is not capable of prolonging his own life, and what taoist top-level cultivation behavior is there to talk about?
Therefore, Wang Chongyang is only a person with a top Taoist master, but it seems that there is no corresponding martial arts height. At least compared with Zhang Sanfeng and Wuyazi, he lived too short. And people's impression is that they should be masters of the same level.
It can be seen from this that although Wang Chongyang was better than the other four when Huashan was discussed, his advantage would not be too great. The five masters of Huashan's three theories have definitely surpassed Wang Chongyang.
