Watching "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", I can't help but sigh at the jianghu stories in it, like Zuo Leng Zen for the Five Yues and send unscrupulous means, Yue Buqun used another set of methods to achieve his own goals, and Lin Pingzhi finally had to twist his heart to make Fox Chong jealous and hateful after he had to practice his sword from the palace. Mr. Jin Yong said in the afterword of the novel that the story here may have taken place in any dynasty, and did not hesitate to praise linghu chong for such a prodigal son. But even in Mr. Jin Yong's pen, such a dashing Ling Hu chong still inevitably has a time to live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. For example, when facing the last words of Lin Pingzhi's father, Lin Zhennan, Ling Huchong thought more.
Lin Zhennan met Ling Huchong before he died, and learned from Ling Huchong that his only son had been able to worship under the Huashan Sect, and his heart was very happy, and he remembered that his life would soon be over, so he relayed his last words, saying that he wanted Ling Huchong to tell Lin Pingzhi:
"Please... Please tell my child, the things in the cellar of the old mansion in Xiangyang Lane, Fuzhou, are... My Lin family's ancestral things must be... It must be well kept, but... But his great-grandfather Yuantu Gong left a testament, and all my descendants must not look at it, otherwise there will be endless calamities, and they will... I want him to remember it well. ”
Regarding this last words, Ling Huchong misunderstood the words "must not be looked over" in it, thinking that Lin Zhennan was afraid of what would happen to him, so he deliberately said so, so there is a description of Ling Huchong's psychological activities:
Ling Hu Chong sighed and thought, "Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng forced him to reveal the location of the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, he would rather die than say it, and at this moment, knowing that the limit had arrived, he had to entrust me to speak." But he was finally afraid that I would go and get his Lin family's sword genealogy, saying that I must not look at it, otherwise there will be endless disasters. Hey hey, who are you when you ling fox chong, who will come to covet your Lin family's sword spectrum? Be truly with the heart of a villain...'"
Ling Huchong's inner words here are not finished, in fact, we all know that Ling Huchong said to himself in his heart that Lin Zhennan's villain's heart is the belly of a gentleman, Ling Huchong regards Lin Zhennan's idea as the heart of a villain and thinks that he is a gentleman, but he does not know that here Ling Huchong is living in the belly of Lin Zhennan's gentleman with his own villain's heart. Lin Zhennan's last words, that is really want ling hu chong to tell Lin Pingzhi, do not look at the evil sword spectrum, that is a sincere word from the heart. However, in this life, Ling Hu Chong misunderstood Lin Zhennan's meaning, and even others misunderstood, and some people even thought that Ling Hu Chong deliberately misrepresented Lin Zhennan's last words, with the purpose of swallowing the evil sword spectrum alone. After that, Ling Hu Chong had another strange encounter and learned a shocking sword technique, which was really jumping into the Yellow River and could not be washed away, until the three battles of the Shaolin Temple, only by the Shaolin Fang Zheng Master and the Wudang Chong False Dao Commander to wash him away the suspicion of stealing the evil sword method. During the Three Wars of Shaolin, Yue Buqun already knew that Ling Hu Chong had not practiced the Evil Sword Technique, but at this time, Yue Buqun began to slowly tear off the false mask, so Yue Buqun even guided Lin Pingzhi to point the truth of stealing the Evil Sword Spectrum to Ling Hu Chong.
In fact, Lin Zhennan's meaning was really to tell Lin Pingzhi not to look at the Evil Sword Spectrum. Lin Zhennan's last words relayed by Ling Hu Chong should actually be the content of the Lin family's generations, Lin Zhennan obeyed the words handed down from his ancestors, Lin Zhennan did not look at the sword spectrum to ward off evil, although the sword method was exquisite, it was not powerful. Further up, Lin Zhennan's father should have also obeyed the words of his adoptive father Lin Yuantu, in a word, since Lin Yuantu, before being destroyed by the Qingcheng sect, not a single descendant of the Lin family had gone to look through the sword spectrum in the old mansion in Xiangyang Lane. It's just that Lin Zhennan passed this matter on to his son as a family rule, but he didn't expect to eventually harm his son! Lin Pingzhi from a rich man experienced the tragedy of family destruction and sending people under the fence, and before and after joining the Huashan Sect, he experienced major events of life and death, it can be said that Lin Pingzhi's life has no other meaning than avenging his parents, of course, we can stand and talk without waist pain, I feel that Lin Pingzhi is overwhelmed by hatred, but we say this is a typical open God perspective. It's just that Lin Pingzhi's desire to take revenge is excusable, and it is not right to distinguish between black and white, and finally the hatred makes Fox Chong and even Yue Lingshan, who treats him sincerely because of Yue Buqun's reasons, is not right.
Ling Hu Chong always felt that Lin Zhennan looked down on him and misunderstood Lin Zhennan's meaning because he would not fight the idea of things that did not belong to him with his personality. It can be seen that what Ling Hu Chong got can be summarized by "everything follows fate". If it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that even if there is such an opportunity, it may not be able to catch it. For example, before Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang died, they asked Ling Huchong to find someone to pass on the score of "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", and only people like Ling Huchong would take this matter to heart, which laid the groundwork for Ling Huchong to get Ren Yingying's love in Luoyang; in Luoyang Luzhu Lane, Ling Huchong learned a lot of knowledge about wine with Luzhu Weng in the process of learning the piano, but who else had the leisure to learn these useless things. However, it is precisely these things that Ling Hu Chong learned that are useless in the eyes of ordinary people that allows Ling Hu Chong to gain some unexpected opportunities for others.
It was also Ling Hu Chong's "everything goes with the flow" personality that doomed him not to value the evil sword spectrum as much as others, which originally did not belong to him. Ling Hu Chong is a typical kind of person who "gets my luck, but does not give me my life", and will misunderstand what Lin Zhennan said. But there was no way, the people in the jianghu who coveted the evil sword spectrum were like the carp across the river, so it was not surprising that Fox Chong regarded Lin Zhennan's sincere words as underestimating him!
Why did the kings think so?
