As the most perfect hero in Liang Yusheng's pen, Zhang Danfeng, whether it is his personality charm or his influence on the martial arts of later generations, in Liang's book, especially in the broad "Tianshan Series", there is no second person who can be compared with him, basically like Zhang Sanfeng in Jin Yong's martial arts. The so-called famous teacher is a high disciple, Zhang Danfeng is so perfect, his disciples are naturally dragons and phoenixes among people. In the entire "Tianshan Series", there were seven disciples under his name, but the first one he received was not the eldest disciple under the later disciples, and the last one was more than three hundred years away from him.

First, the eldest disciple is not the first disciple, and he has also been reduced by the author to martial arts cultivation
Zhang Danfeng's first disciple was Yu Chengzhu, the daughter of Yu Qian, a famous courtier of the Ming Dynasty. Yu Qian worked for Daming all his life, after the civil change, Yingzong was captured, he tried his best to move south, insisted on sticking to it, supported Emperor Daizong's ascension to the throne, straightened out his troops, deployed key points, personally supervised the battle, led a division of 220,000 troops, lined up outside the nine gates of Beijing, resisted the Wallachian army, saved Daming, he was worried about the country, he did not say anything, he was frugal, and his residence could only cover the wind and rain, but after Yingzong's restoration, he was still unjustly killed. Yu Chengzhu was rescued by Zhang Danfeng when her father was killed, and then accepted as a disciple by Zhang Danfeng, when she was only seven years old.
Yu Chengzhu practiced martial arts around Zhang Danfeng and his wife for ten years, and was deeply impressed by the true legend of the two, until the personal chapter "Scattered Flower Girl" with her as the protagonist appeared, and at the age of seventeen, she inherited the title of Shi Niang Yunlei and became a new generation of "Scattered Flower Girl" in the jianghu population. From her title, it can also be seen that she, like Yunlei at that time, has a wonderful secret weapon kung fu. Of course, after so many years around Zhang Danfeng, her swordplay is naturally extraordinary, but in Zhang Danfeng, what Yu Chengzhu really inherits is his style of conduct, and the word chivalry runs through the just cause of protecting the country and the people.
It can be said that Yu Chengzhu regards the master as his life template, and respects Zhang Danfeng like a heavenly person. It is also like this, after her debut, she was newly opened, and the choice of mate was based on her master. For example, Bi Qingtian, who is touched by her, is a man of comparable stature regardless of age, identity and martial arts, but because he is rough and deep, and his master Zhang Danfeng is the opposite type, Yu Chengzhu is unmoved by him, and even a little resistant and disgusted. And the iron realm heart that she had been moved by, on the image and temperament is the closest to Zhang Danfeng, the same as a dashing scholar, but later, after looking at his life, I found that the similarities between him and his master are all appearance, in fact, his personality is weak but proud and vain, and in essence he does not look like her master at all. So she finally chose Ye Chenglin, who had a simple appearance, because Ye Chenglin, like her, had chivalrous ambitions and arrogance like her master.
Zhang Danfeng's second disciple was Zhang Yuhu, the son of Zhang Fengfu, the former first master of the Beijing Division, the commander-in-chief of JinyiWei and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Zhang Fengfu was originally Zhang Danfeng's friend, heroic, loyal and courageous, and later under the influence of Zhang Danfeng, tired of the officialdom, returned to the hidden mountain forest, after the restoration of Emperor Mingyingzong, he intended to summon him out of the mountain, he did not want to go out of the mountain and was killed. Before zhang fengfu died, he entrusted Fan Ying to find Zhang Yuhu, give the sword to Zhang Yuhu, and explain to him to worship Zhang Danfeng as a teacher.
Zhang Yuhu was only twelve or thirteen years old when he appeared in "Scattered Flower Girl", known as the little tiger, clever, brave and full of heroism, and he had been wandering in the rivers and lakes since he was a child. At first, he worshipped black and white Maha as a teacher, and later adhered to his father's orders to worship Zhang Danfeng's disciples, becoming Zhang Danfeng's second apprentice after Yu Chengzhu, and Yu Chengzhu has always been very protective of him as a disciple. By the time he reappeared in the "United Sword Storm" that became the protagonist, Zhang Yuhu had already made a name for himself in the green forest. At that time, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen, succeeded to the throne, and the tributes of Zhiqing in various provinces were robbed one after another, in fact, they were the two good men of the "Divine Dragon and Jade Tiger" headed by Zhang Yuhu and Long Jianhong, respectively, and Zhang Yuhu robbed the tribute to raise military salaries for the lord of the Golden Dao Village and Ye Chenglin's rebel army stationed at the sea.
However, although Zhang Yuhu is the protagonist in "The Record of the Sword", under the background of Zhang Danfeng and Qiao Beiming, the story level is slightly mediocre, and the character personality does not have the cuteness of the youth when "Scattered Flower Girl", and like the general male protagonist in Liang Yusheng's pen, it is still inevitable to face and formulaize. The only point of interest is that his love with Long Jianhong is entangled, from not fighting and not knowing each other to falling in love, and then being willing to sacrifice himself for love, at the end of the novel, after Zhang Danfeng defeated Qiao Beiming, Zhang Yuhu and Long Jianhong finally became dependents, and the ending was quite happy.
However, although Yu Chengzhu and Zhang Yuhu were the first two apprentices that Zhang Danfeng had accepted, when they were later listed in the gate wall, neither of them was a senior disciple. Many friends should be very surprised, because the eldest disciple who was included in the door wall by Zhang Danfeng was Huo Tiandu.
Huo Tiandu
The reason why Huo Tiandu became Zhang Danfeng's disciple can be said to be that Liang Yusheng wanted to add luster to his first sect. At first, Liang Yusheng created Zhang Danfeng, originally to create another "Ping Trace" series in addition to the "Tianshan Series", but because he wrote Zhang Danfeng too perfectly, he could not help but send his first sect tianshan to Zhang Danfeng to lean on. In "Scattered Flower Girl", in order to achieve Huo Tiandu's original wish, Zhang Danfeng pointed out to him, at that time Huo Tiandu could only be regarded as his named disciple, but in the "Records of the United Swords", he actually began to set the "Tianshan Sword Method" as Zhang Danfeng's creation, and finally in the "Guangling Sword", Huo Tiandu was directly defined as Zhang Danfeng's eldest disciple, the Tianshan Sect was also created by him, only to Huo Tiandu alone to support the court, he went to Yunnan Stone Forest to live in seclusion, and created the "Nameless Sword Method" in his later years. He also entrusted Yun Hao to tianshan to hand over the sword spectrum to Huo Tiandu in order to strengthen the tianshan gate court.
In this way, originally in the original "Tianshan Series" such as "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", since his father Huo Xingzhong, he has accumulated two generations, collected the Tianxia Sword Law into his own faction, and Huo Tiandu, who founded the "Tianshan Sword Method" and the Tianshan Sect, was turned into Zhang Danfeng's disciple by Chen Lao. Huo Tiandu was still a junior compared to Chengzhu and Zhang Yuhu, but the reason why he was a senior disciple should be due to the relationship of age, because he was older than both Zhang. With Huo Tiandu included in the door wall, the most accomplished of Zhang Danfeng's disciples was none other than Huo Tiandu. This point is directly explained in "Guangling Sword", Zhang Danfeng's words. It was just that Liang Yusheng turned the "Tianshan Sword Method" from Huo Tiandu's creation to improvement, which undoubtedly deprived Huo Tiandu of his intellectual property rights and actually lowered his martial arts cultivation a lot.
Zhang Danfeng continued, "I created a set of nameless sword techniques that were carved on the walls of the grotto. My eldest disciple Huo Tian was the leader of the Tianshan Sect, but he didn't know that I had this set of sword techniques. After you have completed your studies, if you have the opportunity to meet with the master brother, you will transfer this set of sword techniques to him. If you don't have a chance to meet, that's it. His martial arts are his own family, and his daily achievements are only above me, never under me, and he does not need me to worry about him. "Guangling Sword Chapter Seven"
Of course, Huo Tiandu's achievements were the highest among Zhang Danfeng's disciples, but it was still an indisputable fact in the "Tianshan Series". If nothing else, let's say that the disciples he accepted, such as Yue Mingke (that is, the Obscure Zen Master) and Huo Tianyun, through his tutelage, not only continued to improve and carry forward the "Tianshan Sword Method", but also the Tianshan Sect eventually developed into the first sect in the world in his vein, influencing the pattern of martial arts in later generations for more than three hundred years. On the other hand, Zhang Danfeng's other disciples, no matter who had not been able to see pearls as Well as Huo Tiandu, had disciples to inherit their ambitions and unfinished great deeds, basically from their generation.
However, although Huo Tiandu inherited Zhang Danfeng's "Tianshan Sword Technique", he never learned the "Nameless Sword Technique" created by Zhang Danfeng in his later years, and in the end he only saw the sword meaning of this sword method. Fortunate to inherit Zhang Danfeng's sword technique, one was his closed disciple Chen Shixing, and the other was his disciple Meng Hua, who was more than three hundred years after his death.
Second, the closed disciple is a tool man, the disciple in the next life is amazing to the future generation, and the named disciple is slightly mediocre
The reason why the character of Chen Shixing was created by Liang Yusheng and became Zhang Danfeng's closed disciple was actually because of Meng Hua. This is because the novel "Guangling Sword" with Chen Shixing as the protagonist is a prequel work created by Liang Yusheng while writing "Makino Meteor" in order to further explain the origin of the "nameless sword method" practiced by the protagonist Meng Hua in the book. That is to say, Chen Shixing's story was actually to explain why the "Nameless Sword Technique" had been lost in the three hundred years before Meng Hua, and even the Tianshan Sect had not been able to inherit this absolute learning.
Therefore, we see such a story in "Guangling Sword". After Zhang Danfeng created the "Nameless Sword Technique", he thought of passing it on to Huo Tiandu, asking Huo Tiandu to carry it forward together with the Tianshan Sect, but because the stone forest was thousands of miles away from the Tianshan Mountain, he himself did not return to the Tianshan Mountain, but entrusted Yun Hao to take the sword spectrum to transfer to Huo Tiandu. However, Yun Hao was killed by a change, and before he died, he gave the sword spectrum to Chen Shixing and instructed him to go to the stone forest to find Zhang Danfeng. It was just that Chen Shixing was tricked by Long Chengbin on the way to the sword spectrum, fortunately, after thousands of hardships, he finally worshiped Zhang Danfeng as a teacher, and Zhang Danfeng instructed him to "nameless sword method", and before he died, he also confessed that he would pass on the sword method to Huo Tiandu in the future. However, in the end, Chen Shixing finally saw Huo Tiandu, but he was already poisoned and dying, and in the end, he failed to pass on the "Nameless Sword Technique" to Huo Tiandu.
In this way, the "Nameless Sword Technique" had no connection with the Tianshan Sect, and it was not until more than three hundred years later that Lucky Meng Hua saw the sword spectrum mural carved by Zhang Danfeng from the Stone Forest Secret Room and practiced this mastery. Compared with Meng Hua, as a tool man, Chen Shixing, who was able to successfully lose the "Nameless Sword Technique", although he was fortunate to be Zhang Danfeng's closed disciple, his ending was undoubtedly the most tragic among Zhang Danfeng's disciples. Chen Shixing was more like a meteor, flashing by, and before he could really bloom, he fell and passed away.
Chen Shixing
The tragedy of Chen Shixing created the luck of Meng Hua in later generations, if there was no sudden death of Chen Shixing, there would be no surprise from Meng Hua later. In fact, Yu Lingjun personally has always believed that meng hua's martial arts setting comes from the sword spectrum carved by Zhang Danfeng more than three hundred years ago, which actually highlights the bottleneck of Liang Yusheng's creation that year, because the connection of the "Tianshan series" is too large and continuous creation, and Chen Lao, who wants to come up with it, can't think of a new martial arts argument to Meng Hua. Moreover, the setting of the "Nameless Sword Method" as created by Zhang Danfeng in his later years actually contradicts the setting in the "United Sword Storm". Because it was written in the "Records of the United Swords" that Zhang Danfeng had lost his life expectancy by several decades because of a slap from Qiao Beiming, and then died in his fifties; but according to the calculations in the "Guangling Sword", when Chen Shixing worshiped him as a teacher, Zhang Danfeng at that time was at least eighty years old.
Of course, since Liang Yusheng once again moved out of his most perfect chivalrous zhang Danfeng, then Meng Hua, who was set as Zhang Danfeng's disciple in the next life, naturally could not live up to this heavy trust. As a martial arts harvester, Meng Hua integrated the three superior internal skills of Tianzhu, Persia and Tianshan with the original Zhang Danfeng's "Xuangong Essentials" passed down from generation to generation, and in swordsmanship, he successively integrated his "Mengjia Sword Method" and "Tianshan Sword Method" into the "Nameless Sword Method", and realized that the superior sword method "heavy, clumsy, and large" Three Sons true essence, "Dasu Mi Sword Style" also created a realm that had not been reached by previous generations in his hands. The battle with Highland Cha, the commander of the Yulin Army, not only made Jin, who was the number one in the world of swordsmanship at that time, lament that in three years Meng Hua's swordplay would surpass him, and the narrator in the book was even more blunt in terms of swordplay alone, only afraid that Zhang Danfeng would be underground, and he might not be able to overcome him.
It can be said that among Zhang Danfeng's disciples, in addition to his influence on future generations, it is difficult to compare with Huo Tiandu in that year, Meng Hua's achievements in swordplay can be compared. Meng Hua was inferior in lack of stamina, and he did not cultivate a successor, and when he arrived in "Finger Thunder", he was not so stunning, and the sword technique seemed to be only "Hu Di Eighteen Beats".
In addition to the above-mentioned well-known ones, in fact, Zhang Danfeng also had two named disciples, namely Mu Yan and Mu Xuan of the Qianguo Gongfu in Yunnan. They were the descendants of Mu Ying, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhang Danfeng was passing through Kunming, he happened to see Mu Xuan and thought that he was a talent that could be created, so he accepted him as a named disciple. It's just that Liang Yusheng didn't write a biography for them independently, they mainly appeared in supporting roles, and there were not many scenes, so many readers and friends were not familiar with them.
In "The Lady of Scattered Flowers", Mu Xuan respected Qian, so the appearance used for Qian was changed to the idol in the City God Temple for the people to worship, but it caused dissatisfaction among the officials of the imperial court. They were tired of the cage-like life in the Gonggong Mansion, and after discussing with Mu Xuan and Mu Yan, who were looking forward to the outside world, they actually ran away from the rivers and lakes together. Later, Mu Yan deeply admired the Iron Mirror Heart, and after the Iron Mirror Heart was abandoned by Yu Chengzhu, he married the Iron Mirror Heart. In the "Records of the Combined Swords", Mu Xuan and his brother-in-law Tie Jingxin escorted the tribute to Beijing, and on the way they met Zhang Yuhu, the brother of the same disciple who robbed the tribute, and Zhang Yuhu saw that Mu Xuan and the Iron Mirror Heart were able to guarantee the tribute to Kyoto. Tie Jingxin was later appointed deputy commander of the Yulin Army, but the commander of the Yulin Army, Zhai Changchun, and others asked Tie Jingxin to arrest Yu Chengzhu and others. For the sake of Yu Chengzhu, Tie Jingxin used Zhang Danfeng's strategy to escape a difficult situation and see the corruption of the official field, and returned to Yunnan with Mu Xuan.
It is also mentioned in "You Jian Jianghu" and "Makino Meteor" that Mu Xuan later became the son-in-law of the Duan family and sent a martial arts book by his master Zhang Danfeng to the Duan family. However, neither sister nor brother did anything earth-shattering, and they were the two most mediocre among Zhang Danfeng's disciples. Of course, the character of a person who can be accepted as a disciple by Zhang Danfeng is naturally passed, and there is no need to doubt the chivalrous nature. This can be seen in their respect and ambition for humility.
The above is the overview of the seven disciples under Zhang Danfeng. The most accomplished was Huo Tiandu, who was later listed as a senior disciple by Zhang Danfeng, followed by the disciple Meng Hua in the next life, followed by Chen Shixing, who was the first to learn the "Nameless Sword Technique", and if Chen Shixing had not died young, then his achievements would have been even higher, and there might not have been anything to do with meng hua later. And the words of the first disciple Yu Chengzhu, judging from the later "Three Absolute Martial Arts", her attainment must be above Zhang Yuhu, because she has been living in seclusion with her master brother Huo Tiandu in the Tianshan Mountains, and there must be martial exploration. The most mediocre is the Mu brothers and sisters, but this is also no way to do things, after all, ten fingers have long and short, and they are just not selected by the author as the protagonist.
