There are many combinations in Jin Yong's martial arts, such as the Second Elder of Xuan Di and the Shaolin Sandu in "Leaning Heaven", the Bai Double Hero in "Deer Ding", the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan in "Shooting Eagle" and so on.
Even Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü in "Divine Eagle", if they combine to use a combination of two swords, the Golden Wheel King is not their opponent.
However, these combinations are basically first-class or even super-first-class masters, but the Jiangnan Seven Monsters in "Shooting Eagle" are relatively poor, at best they can be regarded as second-rate.
But even so, none of them were afraid, even if they encountered the five absolutes, they dared to go up and harden. Especially Ke Zhen evil, whether he wins or loses, he is a domineering appearance, even if he is beaten to the ground by his opponent, he also has to hold his head high and say: "If you want to kill, you have to listen to your honor."
So the question is, why are the seven monsters of Jiangnan not afraid?
One
If nothing else, let's first talk about how arrogant the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan really are.
Taking the five absolutes as an example, the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan blinded the eyes of Mei Chaofeng, the disciple of the Eastern Evil Sect.
Twisted the finger of Ouyang Ke, the son of Xi Poison.
Guo Jing, a high disciple of the Beiqi Sect, let them scold.
Zhou Botong, a master and disciple of The Divine Power, was often coldly looked at by them.
We see, the seven monsters of Jiangnan dare not be bragged about, and they don't even pay attention to the five absolutes. Although they can't beat it, the descendants who bully them are still OK.
This is the case with the five absolutes, and for others, they are more likely to come as they want.
As described in the book:
"Suppress the four ghosts, the enemy is double-tempered, and there is no fear of the five." Dou Quanzhen, Battle White Camel, Jiangnan Unparalleled. ”
This is the seven monsters of Jiangnan, the sky is not afraid, live and get rid of is the seven "flat-headed brothers", as long as they see who is not pleasing to the eye, even if they die, they will bite each other.
Some people will fight for the seven monsters, looking at the whole "Shooting Eagle", there are not more than 10 people who can beat them, and they have arrogant capital.
The reason why they feel that they are weaker is actually misled by film and television dramas.
Two
According to the original book, the seven monsters of Jiangnan have few opponents, and even Mei Chaofeng and his wife are thwarted by them, one dead and one blind.
Judging from the several confrontations of the seven monsters of Jiangnan in the original "Shooting Eagle", their martial arts are actually not weak, and qiu Chuji, Mei Chaofeng, Chen Xuanfeng, Ouyang Ke and other masters have all been defeated by them.
But that doesn't stop them from ranking second-rate masters.
As we all know, the highest martial arts in "Shooting Eagle" are the five masters, and they are super first-class masters.
The remaining Qiu Qianling, the early Zhou Botong belonged to the first-class master, one grade worse than the five.
Next are the Black Wind Double Flame, Qiu Chuji, and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, who belong to the second-rate masters.
The worst were Ouyang Ke, Sha Tongtian, Liang Ziweng and other masters of the Golden Palace, whose martial arts belonged to the third class.
Judging from this ranking, although the martial arts of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan were not weak, they had not yet reached the realm of rampaging through the rivers and lakes and being invincible, otherwise they would not have been destroyed by Ouyang Feng in the end.
So from the martial arts point of view, they are also the second-rate level.
Since the martial arts have not reached the super first-class, in the midst of the weak and the strong, they are not afraid of anyone, taking their lives to death, even the five absolutes are not so arrogant, why are they so fearless?
Three
The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan run rampant with second-rate martial arts and are not afraid of anyone, in fact, there is a very important foundation. They all have chivalrous hearts.
Coincidentally, Ke Zhen evil, the head of the Seven Monsters, was also an incomparably proud person. His pride lies not in his martial arts, not in having a bunch of good brothers, but in his pride.
Just as the so-called "evil is like a vendetta", Ke Zhen's name is indeed correct, and when he faces evil, he can lead the entire team to fight to the death.
Even the five are decent, and they hold their hands in fists in respect. Belonging to the villains, they still argue on the basis of reason, and even fight hard.
The old saying has a cloud "reason to go all over the world", this world is so big, no one, nothing can escape a rational word. The Seven Monsters of Jiangnan have a chivalrous heart, naturally fearless, and no one is afraid.
In fact, when I first watched "Shooting Eagle", I always felt that Guo Jing was delayed by following the seven monsters, they were paranoid in personality, and they would not teach their apprentices, especially Ke Zhen evil, who lost his temper at every turn, and even killed Guo Jing.
But later, after re-examining, it was found that the seven monsters of Jiangnan left Jiangnan for an agreement and ran across the country to find Guo Jing.
You must know that at that time, the Golden Soldiers invaded, there were many people in various places, and only with the strength of seven of them, they searched for six years in the vast sea of people, what a kind of hardship.
In fact, they had already secretly resolved in their hearts that even if they could never find Guo Jing's mother and son, they would have to look for eighteen years, otherwise they would have no face to face the covenant of the Drunken Immortal Building.
Fortunately, they finally found Guo Jing in the desert.
However, after finding Guo Jing, he learned that Guo Jing was talented and dull, not to mention the upper level martial arts, and the basic martial arts were difficult to master. But although they were discouraged and lazy, they still settled down and taught carefully for more than ten years.
Although their teaching methods and methods are not the best, they all have their own skills and have a chivalrous heart, and under such subtlety, they have created The Later "Hero is the Greatest, for the Country and the People" Guo Juxia.
Therefore, although the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan are second-rate in martial arts, the reason why no one is afraid is very simple, because they all have a chivalrous heart.
Just as the so-called "body is not afraid of the shadow oblique", they do things but have no shame in asking questions, so no matter where they go and who they meet, they are straight and fearless.
