In 1962, after nearly a year of serialization of "The Book of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", Jin Yong did not breathe a sigh of relief.
15 years later and 41 years later, he twice made a comprehensive revision of the Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens.
After two modifications, the heroine changed her name, and since then she has the well-known Zhao Min.
The ending also goes from becoming a family member to being wrong in the end.
The entanglement of love to the depths stems from Zhang Wuji's cowardice and drifting with the tide throughout.
Jin Yong explained:
"Although it is beautiful to accompany the rest of his life, it is a literary regret, and according to Zhang Wujie's character, he will not know what he wants, so he must make the ending more realistic."
No matter how Jin Lao modified it, it was only the fate of Zhang Wujie in the book.
The women connected by him have long since jumped out of the fictional jianghu and shone into the reality of the reader.
Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, Zhu'er.
The dreamlike four beauties are in the same boat, Zhang Wuji is in it, but he has never been the protagonist.
Instead, four women, swaying the direction of the story, deduce a very realistic and playful ukiyo-e.
Zhou Zhiruo: What if I am ashamed?
The original serial version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" was a total of 120 times, and Zhao Min did not officially debut until 63 times, so that before Zhao Min, everyone regarded Zhou Zhiruo as the heroine:
Born in a slightly cold background, she was originally the daughter of a fisherman in Hanshui.
He grew up rapidly and was once elected to Emei and became the most preferred disciple of the boss.
Most importantly, she and Zhang Wuji have known each other since childhood and have never forgotten each other.
Gao Yuanyuan as Zhou Zhiruo
Although Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji always had to stand on the opposite side because of the difference between the sects, the drama of breaking through the world's obstacles and finally walking together was the most tense setting in the martial arts world.
However, the plot direction that people expected took a sharp turn with the appearance of Zhao Min.
Zhou Zhiruo's kindness yielded to calculation, taking the Nine Yin True Scriptures, killing Zhu'er, and marrying Zhao Min.
Many people can't help but frown and question whether the transformation of human nature is too abrupt, but in fact, looking back at Zhou Zhiruo's heart, you will find that all this has traces to follow.
In a sense, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji belong to the same category of people -
Unable to escape the coercion of the rivers and lakes, and not having the courage to change reality, he can only make a series of decisions that are not up to him:
Zhang Wuji was pushed to the position of the Ming Sect Leader, and his heart was unwilling, so he had to focus on the overall situation;
Zhang Wujie's marriage to Zhou Zhiruo is the meaning of his righteous father Xie Xun, and he is still reluctant to do everything, so he must put great righteousness first;
The extermination master wanted Zhou Zhiruo to kill Zhang Wuji with a sword, she had a struggle, but after the struggle, she thought, "If I disobey the master's orders, I will become an outcast of the Emei Sect";
The exterminator asked her to swear to break off her love with Zhang Wujie, and she had a struggle, but after the entanglement, she said, "If I marry him, my own parents will die in the ground, and the bones will not be stable."
Near the end of the story, Zhou Zhiruo practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and became one of the women with the highest martial arts skills.
But no matter how high the martial arts are, after all, they can't break the sentence "The master's life is difficult to violate."
Under this bondage, she sat and watched the separation of love and reality, and her heart was twisted under the endless struggle.
At the wedding, when Zhang Wuji chose to leave with Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo tore the wedding dress in front of everyone: "If you walk out of the top of the light today, we will break off our righteousness!" ”
Still, her heart was rocking.
Later, Zhang Wuji asked Zhou Zhiruo for help for the matter of his righteous father, but she refused: "Others must say that I still have old feelings for you." ”
Zhang Wuji replied, "As long as you have a clear conscience." ”
Zhou Zhiruo replied, "What if I am ashamed?" ”
The deep tone of voice hides the unshirkable compassion.
Obviously, he is already dead-hearted, but he still has a crush, and neither aspect is complete.
Finally, in the dilemma, he could not help himself, and he could only seek a permanent escape as written in the book, "a green lamp, always accompanied by the ancient Buddha".
Zhao Min: I prefer to be reluctant
Compared with Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min was born noble, and his father Ruyang's royal power fell to the opposition, and he loved her even more.
Growing up in this environment, coupled with the bold nature of a Mongolian woman, made her never hesitate to pursue what she wanted.
She turned a blind eye to the eyes of others; others said to her: "There are unsatisfactory things in the world, and after all, they will barely come." ”
She raised an eyebrow: "I want to be reluctant." ”
Seeing that Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo were about to marry each other, Zhao Min went straight to Zhang Wuji alone in front of a group of martial heroes.
She understood that she wanted Zhang Wujie, so she didn't waste her efforts on anyone except Zhang Wujie.
She also knew very well that Zhang Wuji was willing to go with herself in her heart, but she was limited by weakness and did not dare to do anything contrary to the world's morality and righteousness.
She brought Xie Xun's hair, ostensibly to imply that she knew the whereabouts of Zhang Wujie's father, but in fact she used another layer of "great righteousness" to provide him with a reason to "escape from marriage".
The results were exactly as Zhao Min expected.
Zhang Wuji was also innocent and embarrassed in front of everyone because he was robbed of marriage by Zhao Min a moment ago, and soon after he walked out of the wedding scene, he looked at Zhao Min and thought: "If Zhi treats me, it is so good." ”
Jia Jingwen as Zhao Min
Zhao Min's insight into Zhang Wujie is not that she is born to look at people very accurately, but that she has always chosen only what she wants and never let others influence her own judgment.
As the last part of the Archery Trilogy, the number of characters in "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Sky" is almost the sum of the first two parts.
In terms of portraying characters, Jin Yong has repeatedly used the technique of "mirror characters", such as Zhao Min's template, which is Zhang Wuji's mother Yin Susu.
Yin Susu was the daughter of the Leader of the Heavenly Eagle Sect and a "demon girl" in the mouths of the famous and upright sects, and her combination with the disciples of the Wudang Sect was also intolerable to mainstream concepts.
The only difference between her and Zhao Min is that she met Zhang Cuishan.
As soon as Zhang CuiShan heard that his brother's injury might have been caused by Yin Susu's people, he immediately drew his sword in front of the people of the world and killed himself, without giving the other party any room for explanation.
The biggest difference between Zhang Wuji and his father is that he is not so rigid and easy to fold.
Jin Yong once said: "Guo Jingcheng is simple and realistic, Yang Guo is affectionate and wild, Zhang Wujie is complex and weak, and he is always influenced by others." ”
The personality affected by people is a weakness, but in front of Zhao Min, it promotes a tacit understanding.
Zhao Min firmly grasped the initiative, and Zhang Wuji was also happy to be driven.
No matter how Jin Yong changed Zhang Wujie's ending, Zhao Min's ending was always in her own hands.
Spider & Xiao Zhao: One is relief, the other is fear
Spider Er also knew Zhang Wuji since childhood, and once asked The Golden Flower Mother-in-law to take him to the Spirit Snake Island, but unfortunately he was blocked by the extermination master Tai And his party.
Reunited many years later, Spider Er broke his face due to the cultivation of poison skills, and Zhang Wuji became a Zeng A Niu who broke his legs and wastered.
The two did not recognize each other, but became each other's implications in a heavy snow.
Zhang Wujie was grateful for Spider's care and made a marriage contract, and Spider'er sneered at it on the surface, but secretly remembered this sentence in his heart.
The spider poisoned Zhu Jiuzhen, who framed Zhang Wujie, which led to a hunt and killing, and when she was dying, she asked to see Zhang Wujie again.
Under the gaze of the Enemy family, she wanted Zhang Wuji, lying in the thatched pile, to confirm whether she was really willing to marry herself.
The Qiu family laughed for a while, thinking that the person she would see before she died must be a man who looked better than Pan An, but she didn't expect that it was such a muddy mud.
Spider Er didn't care at all, and when she heard Zhang Wujie swear that he would marry her, she "immediately shot out a very bright brilliance in her eyes."
It was only this oath, along with the wounded Zeng Aniu, who became the Ming Sect Leader on the top of the light, and soon passed away with the wind.
Spider Er has no attachment, even if she has been touched by Zhang Wujie's vows, she also understands what is the love of each other, and what is the empathy of the fallen people in the end of the world.
On the Spirit Snake Island, she was framed but had great difficulty not to die.
Not only that, Zhou Zhiruo scratched her face, but instead helped her drain the poisonous blood, wait until the wound healed, and miraculously restored her natural beauty.
After passing away from the ghost gate, Spider Er met Zhang Wuji again, and she also knew that he had sworn to marry his own Zeng Aniu, but she chose to silently suppress this oath in her heart.
When she finally said goodbye to Zhang Wujie, she said: "My heart has already given the little Zhang Wujie who bit the back of my hand, and I want to look for him." ”
As Elder Jin said, she has always loved the Zhang Wujie imagined in her heart: "She naturally can't find it, but it can also be said that she has already found it." ”
The unattainable love, the unrecoverable memories and promises, is a unique romance of the spider.
Compared with the spider's dashing turn, Xiao Zhao's sudden look back is the pain in the hearts of countless viewers.
Xiao Zhao was the daughter of the Persian saint Daisy, but her father was separated from her mother, and she suffered from displacement from childhood.
When she first met Zhang Wujie, who had achieved great success at the top of the light, she decided early that he was her dependence in this lonely and miserable world.
After the top of the light, Xiao Zhao presented himself as a squire, accompanied by Zhang Wujie, and mouthed a "prince".
Zhang Wuji has a similar life to her, can always have emotional resonance with her, some bitterness and troubles that cannot be revealed, and is always willing to talk to her.
Compared with other daughters, Xiao Zhao was able to show his love to Zhang Wuji without a trace in the name of "the most intimate little girl in the prince".
It's just that this is her strength and her biggest weakness.
This is like Zhang Ailing once said: "You can love him to the bone, but you can't go down to the dust." ”
Imagine in "Dream of the Red Chamber", Lin Daiyu was jealous because of Xue Baochao, but He had eaten vinegar that attacked people.
Xiao Zhao never coexisted with Zhang Wuji in a flat posture, but silently regarded this self-degrading and half-grid approach as the pursuit of love.
Until the Persian emissaries pursued to the Central Plains, Xiao Zhao had to return to Persia with Daisy.
At the time of parting, she no longer faced Zhang Wujie as a servant, just a moment of grinding, which was the last warmth of this life.
The name of the spider is Yin Li, Xiao Zhao's "Zhao", which has a metaphor for "Zhao Jun out of the plug".
The same is separation, the former is relief, the latter is apathy.

Writer Zhang Jiawei said:
In fact, Zhang Wuji's direction in love is quite clear, that is, an ordinary person:
Zhu Jiuzhen, who looked at the appearance of the first love, was grateful for the Yin Yuan who cared for him when he was injured, admired Xiao Zhao who suffered together when he was in danger, and a little worried about the beautiful Zhou Zhiruo, who remembered the old knowledge of the teenager and is now famous, and became the boss and looked at the enemy beauty Zhao Min.
Probably When zhang Wujie was a child, Zhang Wujie when he was lonely and poor, and Zhang Wujie, who became the leader of the sect, also liked different types of girls. ”
In the finale of the original work, Zhang Wuji heard Zhou Zhiruo's voice when he drew eyebrows for Zhao Min, and the eyebrow pencil in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, hesitating to this point, and finally did not choose a lifelong partner.
The drama version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" changed the ending to "reunion style", Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min returned to the hidden ice and fire island and went to the life of "let me draw eyebrows for you all my life".
But for Zhang Wuji, who is cowardly and wavering by nature, and Zhao Min, who has lived in the "Princess Castle" since childhood and fled to enjoy a rebellious life, "Returning to the Hidden Ice and Fire Island" may only be the beginning of the test.
People who agree with Zhang Wujie's choice of Zhao Min do not like Zhou Zhiruo's heart and desire, but only love Zhao Min's decisiveness and bravery.
But in real life, "Zhou Zhiruo's life" may be the fate of most people, there is no father who has the right to go to the opposition, can not rebel and willful, can only make up his mind to seize the opportunity to fight.
You can be like Zhou Zhiruo, "eager for career love with both hands", or you can be like Zhao Min who only pursue what you want most, and be willing to give up other things for this, and you must "force" it in all difficulties.
But once chosen, it will eat its own fruit.
Choose to do it yourself, sweet and sour, bitter and spicy also have to bear it yourself.
Love is like this, and so is life.
