When it comes to Nanxia Guest Exhibition Zhao, I believe that many people are not strangers. In the TV series "Bao Qingtian", Zhan Zhao's martial arts can be said to have no opponents in the cover of Wulin. Then about the character of Zhan Nanxia, the earliest came from the Martial Arts novel "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" by the Qing Dynasty writer Shi Yukun. In the original work, although Zhan Zhao's martial arts are not as dominant as in the TV series, he is indeed a martial arts master, and he has never lost anyone except Ouyang Chun, the Northern Hero. However, in Shan Tianfang's commentary", "The Great Hero with White Eyebrows", this master who was once in the limelight was reduced to a passerby, not to mention the average swordsman, even the most notorious "White Lotus" Yanfeng could easily defeat him.

"White Eyebrow Hero" is a long commentary adapted and extended by Shan Tianfang based on "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", the two protagonists are Xu Liang, the son of Xu Qing, the "pangolin rat" in the "Five Righteousness", and Bai Yunrui, the son of "Jinmao Rat" Bai Yutang. They were able to protect their families and defend the country under Bao Xiangye in Kaifeng Province to catch thieves, which triggered a fight throughout the martial forest. In this martial arts battle, Zhan Zhao lost his previous aura from the beginning, from a female thief who stirred up the mansion more than 20 times in the opening scene, dozens of errand officials, including Nanxia, were helpless. Later, easily defeated by the White Lotus Swallow Wind, the former "Royal Cat" became the "kitten" in the eyes of the group of thieves.
White-browed hero Xu Liang
In fact, this phenomenon is not surprising, because "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" is the first martial arts novel after all, so future generations must eliminate a group of old people when they continue the book, otherwise how can the new people attract everyone's attention. Moreover, there are not many characters in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and those with names and surnames are also numbers three or fifty, so they show him. In "The Great Man with White Eyebrows", there are roughly more than two hundred swordsmen and thieves who appear before and after, so Nanxia's little kung fu is even more on the table. If you want to find the reason from Zhan Zhao himself, perhaps it is because he first joined the Kaifeng Province, and he is busy with business and protecting Lord Bao all day, so he has abandoned his martial arts.
Ouyang Chun, the Northern Hero before leaving home
So what is the level of kung fu in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", Ouyang Chun, the northern hero with the highest martial arts skills, in "The Great Hero with White Eyebrows"? I think Teacher Shan Tianfang still has a lot of affection for Beixia. In the whole book, Ouyang Chun did not appear much, only two shots, and both were shortly after the opening, when attacking Yan Wangzhai. The first time was a contest with zhu liang, the "Flying Sword Immortal", and the other time was a contest with a swordsman who was one of the "Three Absolute Gems of Saibei". Although these two competitions did not distinguish between victory and defeat, Shan Lao explained that Zhu Liang was not Ouyang Chun's opponent, and if the fight was long, Ouyang Chun would definitely win. Through this competition, we can roughly know Ouyang Chun's position in the whole book. Because in the later "Eight King's Fight", Zhu Liang defeated the three old swordsmen of "Red Bearded Son" Ding Zhen, "Golden Eye Aggressive" Mei Liangzu and "Plum Blossom Thousand Flowers" Cang Jiu Gong in succession, which shows that his strength is not bad. If you count the swordsmen in the whole book whose strength is higher than Zhu Liang's, I think there should be no more than fifty people, so the Northern Heroes can also be regarded as first-class masters.
List of masters:
First of all, there are 14 famous masters, from the martial sage Yu He to the Shaolin abbot (that is, Ouyang Chun's father Ouyang Zhonghui)
