Zhang Sanfeng is a rare "grandmaster" level figure in Jin Yong's pen, who can grow from a small monk who "beats soy sauce" to a respected Wudang ancestor, and his personal struggle history is inspiring enough.
Career success cannot hide the fact that Zhang Sanfeng was lonely all his life. Judging from the many details of the original work, he has a special feeling that guo xiang is unclear and chaotic.
At the end of "The Divine Eagle Hero", the monk Jueyuan and his apprentice Zhang Junbao track down Xiao Xiangzi and Yin Kexi to return the four volumes of the Lost Lengjia Sutra, and Zhang Junbao had the privilege of meeting the white-skinned and beautiful Miss Guo Er at the top of Mount Hua.
Guo Xiang
Hua Shan and his party, Jue Yuan failed to retrieve the scriptures, after returning to Shaolin received a severe punishment, Miss Guo Er visited Shaolin, and the colorless Zen master did not fight or deal, when going down the mountain, Zhang Junbao followed the little sister far behind the goddess "send-off" and got a gift.
Guo Xiang reached out and handed him the pair of iron luohan that colorless had sent her, Zhang Junbao did not dare to reach out to pick it up, Guo Xiang stuffed the iron luohan in his hand, jumped up, and got on the donkey's back...
This was Guo Xiang's first gift to Zhang Junbao, and Zhang Junbao, who had practiced internal skills with Master Jueyuan, learned the Luohan Fist in the 72 stunts, and based on this, successfully defeated He Zudao, who came to challenge.
Zhang Junbao
Zhang Junbao, who made great contributions to Shaolin, did not receive the praise he deserved, but because he did not have a teacher, he was expelled for stealing martial arts without authorization, and Master Jueyuan used the iron barrel as a "means of transportation" to pick his apprentice and Guo Xiang to flee Shaolin...
After leaving Shaolin, the homeless Zhang Junbao did not know where to go, and Guo Xiang suggested that he go to Xiangyang to join Guo Jing and gave him a second gift——
Guo Xiang took a golden bracelet from his wrist and handed it to him, saying: If you take this bracelet to Xiangyang to meet your father and mother, they will be able to treat you kindly. As long as I am in front of my parents, the monks of the Shaolin Temple can not be more cruel to you...
Guo Jing
According to Guo Xiang's plan, Guo Jing likes young heroes, sees talents like Zhang Junbao, may accept him as an apprentice, and also "friendship tips", do not easily offend Guo Fu: My sister has a bigger temper, one is not right, talking will not give people face, but you only have to follow her, that is!
Just when Zhang Junbao hesitated, the conversation between a peasant couple strengthened Zhang Junbao's confidence in starting his own business: you are a manly husband, unable to stand on your own, but you go to rely on your sister and brother-in-law, and you have no reason to be humiliated... Zhang Junbao thinks that he is a good man, there is no need to whisper to others, and he is bent on perfection!
It seems that Zhang Junbao realized himself, in fact, he did not want Guo Xiang to look down on him, Yang Guo can become a hero, he can, and even surpass Yang Guo.
Yang Guo
With this in mind, Zhang Junbao began a long and arduous road of "self-improvement", and in more than ten years, he actually made great progress in his internal strength, and then read more About Taoism, and he had a deeper understanding of the Taoist art of practicing qi, and he created a martial art of Wudang that reflected future generations and shone through the ages with the self-enlightened fist theory, the Taoist way of chong xuan yuan tong and the internal gong contained in the Nine Yang True Scriptures!
At this point, Zhang Junbao and Guo Xiang "ended", and there was no intersection for decades after that, Guo Xiang, who "saw Yang Mistakenly for life", became a nun after the age of 40, opened the window and Emei faction, Zhang Junbao practiced martial arts hard, changed his name to Zhang Sanfeng, and founded Wudang.
Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang only have 2 "meetings", does he love Guo Xiang or not? Yu Lianzhou in the Seven Heroes of Wudang, in the process of receiving Zhang Cuishan and his wife, revealed 1 detail, which seems to be a corroboration of Zhang Sanfeng's liking for Guo Xiang -
Yu Lianzhou
After Enshi and Guo Nüxia broke up at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, they never saw each other again. Enshi said that Guo Nüxia had one person in mind, that is, Yang Guo, the god-carved hero who killed the Mongol Great Khan by flying stones outside Xiangyang City... When he was a teenager, he had received the benefits of Guo Xiang, the ancestor of the Emei Sect, so he warned the old man that he must not offend the disciples under Emei to protect the incense of the past years...
Zhang Sanfeng knew very well in his heart that Guo Xiang was obsessed with Yang Guo, and he warned his Wudang disciples: When walking the rivers and lakes, you must not offend the Emei Sect, because he has received "benefits" from Guo Xiang!
Affectionate, polite, hidden in the heart, probably Zhang Sanfeng's most authentic inner portrayal, for Guo Xiang's admiration, can only be tasted from the details of the original work, especially a sentence when he was a hundred years old, let people cry.
Zhang CuiShan killed himself
Zhang Sanfeng, who was alone, on his 90th birthday, Yu Daiyan was killed, and on his 100th birthday, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu killed themselves to thank the world, and under many blows, Zhang Sanfeng could only transfer his grief and retreat to cultivation, and realized taijiquan at the age of 110.
Because of his participation in the siege of Guangmingding, 5 masters were dispatched from the Seven Heroes of Wudang, leaving only Yu Daiyan, who could not move, to guard the "rear", Zhao Min secretly poisoned, captured Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi, and Mo Shenggu in one fell swoop, taking advantage of the empty opportunity in the rear of Wudang, sent Gang Xiang to sneak attack, and Zhang Sanfeng was seriously injured.
Zhao Min
Before leading a large number of people to attack Wudang, the 110-year-old Zhang Sanfeng confessed to Yu Daiyan, personally practiced taijiquan, and took out the iron luohan that Guo Xiang gave him more than 100 years ago.
Zhang Sanfeng felt a pair of iron cast Arhats from his side and handed them to Yu Daiyan Dao: This pair of iron Arhats was given to me by Guo Xiangguo's heroine a hundred years ago. You will also send back the Shaolin descendants in the future. It is from this pair of iron luohans that a masterpiece of shaolin school has been passed down!
In the past, the iron luohan that Guo Xiang gave him has always been treasured around, and the endless thoughts of Guo Xiang are pinned on a pair of iron luohans, and the love is so deep that it is really touching...
Zhang Sanfeng
Guo Xiang's encounter can be described as "seeing Yang Mistaken for life", and Zhang Sanfeng's experience can only be summarized as "seeing Guo Xiang mistaken for a hundred years".
Perhaps as Jin Yong said in "The White Horse Roaring West Wind": If you love someone deeply, but you are deeply in love with someone else, what is the way? Those are very good things, but they don't like them...
How much does Zhang Sanfeng really love Guo Xiang? What he said to Yu Daiyan at the age of 110 made people cry, even if he could do it again, Zhang Sanfeng would make the same choice, because he was a man, and he loved Guo Xiang!
