The first sentence of the third chapter of the Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens, "Treasure Sword Hundred Refining Life Xuanguang":
Flowers blossom and fall, flowers fall and blossom. The young boy was old, and the red-faced girl's sideburns finally saw white hair.
It is not difficult for us to see that the "young children" and "red-faced girls" mentioned here refer to Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang, and the decades of time have passed in a flash, and the teenagers and young girls of the past have been dying of old age. What kind of vengeance, floating like a dream, is just a dream, and in the end it is empty. In the era of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", the red-faced girl has been buried in the ground, and only the centenarian on the Wudang Mountain is still alive alone, I don't know what kind of voice he will have when he occasionally recalls the jianghu deceased in that year? Is it as written in the serial version of the work:
Zhang Sanfeng looked at Guo Xiang's suicide note, and seemed to see the bright and dashing girl in front of his eyes again, but that was a hundred years ago.
1. The time of Guo Xiang's death
There is a passage in the "Book of the Slaughter of the Dragon in the Heavens", and the extermination master Tai once said, "When I was fifteen years old, my master Fengling Shitai knew that I would have great success in martial arts in the future, and at that time she had decided to make me the third generation leader." When he said this, the exterminator was probably more than fifty years old, so it seems that more than thirty years ago, Guo Xiang had died, more than thirty years ago Zhang Sanfeng was only more than seventy years old, Guo Xiang was three years older than Zhang Sanfeng, then Guo Xiang died about eighty years ago.
If Guo Xiang can't do martial arts, then it can't be said that she died early, the life expectancy of Jin Yong's martial arts jianghu masters is directly proportional to martial arts, the stronger the martial arts, the higher the internal strength, the longer the life expectancy, Guo Xiang as the ancestor of the Emei sect, the martial arts must have reached the peak of the extreme, such martial arts, such cultivation, less than eighty years old, this point can not be said. According to the content of the novel, all this is related to Huang Rong's decision before his death, and to know the truth, let's first look at the following examples.
After all, mortals are mortals
Mr. Jin Yong wrote martial arts works, not xianxia works, so although the characters in martial arts works are good, they are all mortals, and it is inevitable that they will die of old age and illness. No matter how high a person's martial arts are, he can't beat God.
Mr. Jin Lao commented that he was a "rare wizard in a hundred years", and his internal strength and martial arts were perfected in the realm of divine transformation, but at the end of the novel, he died suddenly at the Cactus Peak of Mount Hua, for no reason than him, and his heart was haggard:
“...... This time, in order to arrange for the destruction of the Five Peaks Sword Sect, it took a lot of painstaking effort. His old man's home is the end of his life. ”
Master Zhiguang of the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon was also a first-class master of martial arts in the past, only because he saved countless people infected with miasma in zhejiang and Fujian, "went overseas to the wilderness and collected heterogeneous bark", so he had a serious illness and lost all his martial arts.
Martial arts masters are also human, without an iron body, decades of running and laboring, suffering is themselves, hurting their bodies, so what does this have to do with Guo Xiang?
III. Huang Rong's Last Words of "Relying on the Heavens to Slay the Dragon Plan"
Before their deaths, Guo Jing and Huang Rong made the Xuantie heavy sword given to Guo Xiang by the Divine Eagle Hero into a dragon slaying sword, and then made the gentleman's sword and the lady's sword into a heavenly sword, which were given to Guo Xiang and Guo Shaoyu respectively, and informed them of the secrets in the sword, hoping that the two would be able to find a person with outstanding martial arts and wisdom in the future and complete the mission of "expelling Hu Yu and restoring the Han Room", but unfortunately Guo Xiang was killed in battle, and the only person in the world who knew this secret was Guo Xiang.
In order to fulfill the things that his mother confessed before his death, Guo Xiang has been searching for the whereabouts of the dragon slaying knife in the rivers and lakes for decades, and his inner attachment to the dragon slaying knife is far better than his feelings for Yang Guo.
She didn't necessarily have to meet with him and his wife, just heard some information about how Yang Guo was a hero in the jianghu, and she was satisfied.
But the dragon slayer knife must be found:
The master paused and continued, "... Before her death, she had tried her best to find the Dragon Slayer Sword, but she had never succeeded, and when she died, she passed on this secret to my mentor Fengling Shitai..."
Pay attention to the four words of "dedication", it is not difficult to see that Guo Xiang spent the second half of his life searching for the whereabouts of the dragon slaying knife, and the tomb sect jade girl health maintenance skills include "less thinking, less thoughts, less desire, less food, less language, less laughter, less sorrow, less happiness, less joy, less anger, less good, less evil." Zhang Sanfeng's works also mentioned that "people can immediately be idle, Fang is a master", the key to health is in the mentality, since ancient times, people with high life expectancy are all idle and calm, as Lao Tzu said, "to the virtual pole, keep quiet" is also.
Before Huang Rong died, she entrusted the mission of restoring the country to Guo Xiang, causing Guo Xiang to spend countless efforts in the second half of his life to find the whereabouts of the dragon slaying knife, she Guo Xiang was not a god, there was no iron body, accumulated over the years, how could she live as long as Zhang Sanfeng? Early death is a foregone conclusion. Just as ren and I took countless painstaking efforts to unify the martial arts and died suddenly in Mount Hua, Master Zhiguang spent countless painstaking efforts to save the people, and all his martial arts were lost.
