Jin Yong's positioning of Zhang Sanfeng is "a great master who inherits the past and opens up the future, and a strange person who has never been born in the history of martial arts." Zhang Sanfeng single-handedly created the Wudang School comparable to Shaolin, which is a miracle in the history of martial arts, but such a great figure also has a person who is ashamed of himself, that is, Guo Jingguo Daxia.
(a) or comparable
Zhang Sanfeng once said: "My hundred years of cultivation may be comparable to Guo Daxia'." In his eyes, although Guo Daxia's qualifications are dull, the achievements he has achieved may not be achievable. So is Zhang Sanfeng's self-perception that he is inferior to Guo Jing modest or a fact?
Guo Jing's qualifications are not particularly outstanding in Jin Yong's pen, but the efforts he has made are incomparable to those of ordinary people. He has the most tenacious perseverance and the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, and others will practice it twice, and if he can't do it twice, then twenty times, or even two hundred times. It was precisely with this tenacious perseverance that Guo Jing's martial arts could reach the pinnacle of perfection, and he had already leveled the first Ouyang Feng of the Second Theory in just over thirty years. After that, Guo Jing was busy defending the city and fighting on the battlefield, and his strength was increasing day by day, even if he could come and go freely in a million troops.
To know that personal martial arts and battlefield killing skills are two completely different concepts, many martial arts masters on the battlefield, no matter how powerful, will be consumed by human sea tactics, and Guo Jing can not only kill countless enemies, but also move in and out freely, just this ability to take into account the martial arts and battlefields is already very rare.
In addition, as Mr. Jin Yong has always emphasized the theme: "The hero is great, for the country and the people", this is probably the fundamental reason why all martial artists cannot reach. After all, Zhang Sanfeng is a martial arts master, so let's simply use martial arts to see if there is a difference between the two.
(2) Comparison of martial arts
1. Descend the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon
Guo Jing is famous for the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon, which was originally a martial art of the strongest to the strongest, but Guo Jing trained it to the point of being as soft as the strongest, and he could do whatever he wanted. Although Zhang Sanfeng created the Taijiquan of Yi Rou Ke Gang, he could not take the slightest advantage in the face of Guo Jing's gentle and soft Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms. After all, even if it is soft and rigid, but this rigid it will not only be rigid, but also soft, so how can you still be gram?
2. Sword technique
The Wudang Taiji Sword Technique is broad and profound, paying attention to the meaning of the sword needs to forget all the sword moves in order to exert great power, if Zhang Sanfeng uses the Taiji Sword, it is still impossible to take advantage. Because Guo Jing is armed with left-right fighting skills, one person can achieve the effect of two people in the move, and the Yue Female Sword Technique is naturally not afraid of the Taiji Sword. At that time, Ah Qing broke two thousand knights with a bamboo stick with the Yue Nu Sword Technique, and Han Xiaoying did not have the essence so it was only a second-rate level. Guo Jing has a multiplication of internal skills, a solid foundation, and it is natural to make it very important.
3. Light work
Zhang Sanfeng's Wudang Tiyun is famous all over the world, and when he quietly approached Hebi Weng on Wudang Mountain, he defeated Crane Bi Weng in one move and saved Zhang Wujie. However, Guo Jing is also a master of light skills, and he is already a master of two or three feet on the ladder of heaven, but Guo Jing can rise one step at a time, and the author describes him as shocking. It can be seen that Guo Jing's light skills are not inferior to Zhang Sanfeng at all.
4. Internal power
Zhang Sanfeng once personally admitted that Guo Jing's internal strength and himself were the top of the world on the Wudang Mountains. Zhang Sanfeng has a hundred years of skill, and may be slightly better than Guo Jing in terms of purity, but the degree of abundance is difficult to compare with Guo Jing in his prime, so the internal strength of the two people is equal between this and the other, which shows that Zhang Sanfeng's self-belief that he is not as good as Guo Jing is not modest, but the two people are between Bo Zhong. In fact, there is a detail that also shows this.
Zhang Sanfeng was attacked by Gang Xiang and was seriously injured and almost died. Guo Jing was also attacked under the Chongyang Palace that year. Guo Jing hit these two palms, knowing the depth of the other party's martial arts, and thought that in terms of the strength of the two people, he was indeed a disciple of the Seventh Son of Quanzhen, and he was a peer with himself. When he struck the second palm, he had already encouraged the defense, the internal force was transported just right, he was not damaged in the slightest, but he did not fight back with the palm force to make the two people's palms painful and swollen, only to suffer normally, as if nothing happened. Guo Jing's internal strength has reached the point of doing whatever he wants, and he can protect himself from harm without shocking his opponents.
Some people may say that Zhang Sanfeng was attacked by a sneak attack, and Guo Jing was defensive. In fact, True Qi itself has a defensive function, and it can also protect itself from harm when it is attacked, and it is not harmful to the opponent, and his failure to do so can only mean that his internal strength cannot reach the point where Guo Jing can control it freely or that his internal force cannot be injured and cannot shock a master of this level. It can be seen from this that in many ways, Zhang Sanfeng said that he was inferior to Guo Jing, and he really admired Guo Jing's martial arts achievements.
