There is a contested duel in the sky. Strictly speaking, it is not a showdown, because only one person on both sides has shot. On the Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng restrained Hebi Weng with one move, and the latter could not even escape. Although Crane Bi Weng eventually escaped the disaster, from the situation at that time, Zhang Sanfeng wanted to kill him easily.
Therefore, many people have concluded based on this detail - Zhang Sanfeng's strength is enough to kill Crane Pen Weng in a second. Even by analogy, Zhang Sanfeng is a god-like being, and seeing anyone on the rivers and lakes of the heavens is a second kill. The rivers and lakes of heaven could not hold him anymore, and he should go to heaven to fight with those immortals.
In fact, this battle is very misleading.
The reason why this is not a duel is because Crane Bi Weng did not want to fight with Zhang Sanfeng from the beginning to the end. Moreover, Zhang Sanfeng's speed was too fast, so Crane Bi Weng suddenly fell into passivity, and it was too late to fight back.
In fact, there was a battle in Yi Tianzhong, and the scene where Zhang Sanfeng restrained Crane Bi Weng was exactly the same in nature. The battle took place at the Lion Slaughter Convention.
When it comes to the lion slaughtering conference, everyone may first think of Zhang Wujie vs. Sandu, or Yu Lianzhou vs. Zhou Zhiruo, or Song Qingshu lianzhan gang elders. But before that, there was a small-scale fight hidden, which was ignored by many people because the weight was too light.
At the beginning of the lion slaughtering conference, Shaolin gathered a lot of jianghu haojie, and some people rarely appeared, such as the old shandong boxer Xia Xuan.
Xia Yi and Wei Yi of the Ming Sect laughed and quarreled, and Wei Yi suddenly came to Xia Yi from more than ten meters away, slapped him four times, and then stepped out of his elbow and lit up his lower abdomen. Subsequently, he said that he could not put Xia Ji into his bag.
What happened at this moment was dizzying, everyone had not yet reacted, and Xia Xuan was already in the bag.
On the surface, is this battle the same as Zhang Sanfeng's second capture of crane pen Weng? Wei Yi laughed, isn't this also a second to catch Xia Xuan? And he also slapped him four times.
But notice that Jin Yong added this narration in this place -
Xia Yixiao's martial arts were not general, if Wei Yixiao fought with him with real kung fu, he would have to dismantle fifty moves before he could win, but Wei Yixiao's light body kung fu was too strange, like a ghost, attacking him unprepared, Xia Yixiao was ready to fight, and he was already on the road.
Obviously, in Jin Yong's positioning, Xia Xuan would never be killed by Wei Yiyi's smile and move. The so-called real kung fu is actually that both sides are ready and concentrated, no one should attack suddenly, and no one should plan to flee before the battle. In other words, a formal contest.
Of course, in actual combat, the masters pursue a quick decision, taking advantage of the other party's lack of attention to take down the opponent is the most cost-effective, but this is still very different from the formal competition.
Jin Yong washed the white of Xia Yin here, why not wash the white of the crane pen of that year? Otherwise, why would he emphasize this positioning? Since a move is a fact, isn't it the end to directly use it as evidence of the strength gap?
Of course, there is a one-move second gap in the Golden Book, for example, in the archery eagle, the five absolutes can kill any of the seven monsters of Jiangnan in one move. When Ouyang Feng dealt with Ke Zhen evil, he really took down the other party with one move, and there was no ambiguity at all. But Crane Bi Weng is a first-class master of the jianghu, although the gap between martial arts and Zhang Sanfeng is very large, but it is by no means large enough to be taken down by the other party, otherwise, wouldn't the Xuan Hao Divine Palm be practiced in vain?
Of course, wei Yixiao needed fifty moves to take down Xia Xuan, but if Zhang Sanfeng took down Hebi Weng with real kung fu, he wouldn't need so many moves. Maybe, a dozen tricks are almost it.
