"Jin Yong's story has been over for many years, what else is there to discuss", people who do not read Jin Yong's martial arts stories will naturally have this question, and as long as they are self-proclaimed "senior Jin Yong fans", they will definitely scoff at this statement.
Of course, martial arts stories will not be too profound, after all, the author also knows that readers are only pursuing the "cool text" plot of happy revenge, so most of the plots are easy to understand, and even do not need to be scrutinized, Jin Yong's story is naturally the same, but the difference between Jin Yong's story and other stories is that Jin Lao will leave the story blank, he will brush off some major events, although that does not affect the main plot, but readers will find that those ignored stories are also very intriguing.

For example, the first Huashan sword discussion mentioned in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was only brushed off, such a wonderful story, why didn't Jin Yong expand it into detail? In fact, the answer may be because there are loopholes in this plot setting.
1. Huashan II and Huashan III
There are two reasons why readers are interested in the first Huashan Sword Debate.
One is because this is the stage for the showdown of top masters, and the collision between top masters will naturally create a particularly wonderful spark.
The second is because the process of the second Huashan sword discussion and the third Huashan sword discussion is really disappointing.
When Huashan discussed the sword for the second time, although there were many masters present, counting the one lamp master, Qiu Qiancheng, Zhou Botong, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing, a total of six masters were present, one more than the Huashan theory of that year, originally this should have been a wonderful big fight, but because the master of one lamp turned Qiu Qiancheng into a point, and Zhou Botong was "scared away" by Aunt Ying, so that only Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong were finally dueled.

What is even more ridiculous is that due to the special relationship between the three, this battle is carried out under the rules set by Huang Rong, almost a scene to let Guo Jing take the throne, which is really not pleasant.
As for the third Huashan sword discussion, it is even more boring, although there are also many masters present this time, in addition to the five who later became a new generation of five masters, there are also Xiaolongnu and Huang Rong two women who were also nominated for a time, and their strength is also good.
But this time the sword discussion is more excessive than the second theory of Huashan, directly did not even fight, everyone was in the conversation and laughter to choose the five absolutes, of course, there is also a reasonable explanation in the book, after all, everyone has just experienced the battle of Xiangyang, they are exhausted, and some people have not healed, plus the group of heroes are all family relatives, so it is reasonable not to fight.
But in any case, the boredom of the second and third theories of Huashan will inevitably make readers very curious about the Huashan theory, after all, it was a seven-day and seven-night showdown, what was the process of that showdown?
2. A seven-day, seven-night showdown
The first Huashan Sword Discussion can be said to be the purest top master duel, when Wang Chongyang, who was in charge of the Quanzhen Sect, summoned the four masters Duan Zhixing, Hong Qigong, Huang Yaoshi and Ouyang Feng to gather in Huashan, and then these five people fought in the ice and snow for seven days and seven nights.

However, unfortunately, this plot is only shown in a sentence from Zhou Botong in the book: "At that time, it was at the end of winter, Mount Hua was at the top, and the snow closed the mountain." The five of them talked about it, competed in their hands, and competed directly for seven days and seven nights in the heavy snow, and the four people of Eastern Evil, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Beiqi finally worshipped my senior brother Wang Chongyang's martial arts as the first in the world. ”
In addition to this big battle, Jin Yong wrote that there were no other masters who fought against each other for seven days and seven nights, and I don't know what kind of rules this battle was carried out, did everyone start a big fight, or did the four extremes of the southeast, southwest and northwest join forces against Wang Chongyang? After all, the four eastern, southwest, and northwest were definitely admired by Wang Chongyang, so it seems that his advantage should be more obvious when he plays against the southeast, northwest, and four extremes.
But that's not important, the important thing is that the setting of this plot is actually a little unreasonable, just because Ouyang Feng should not be able to survive after this big war.
3. The wicked who should not live
What kind of person is Ouyang Feng? In fact, those who have read the original book know that he does nothing evil, otherwise he would not be called "old poison", he got this nickname for another reason, that is, he is good at using poison, and people who like to use poison have one thing in common, that is, there is no lower limit to the style of acting, as long as it can achieve the goal, no matter how despicable things are, he can do it.
Therefore, it is not a pity for Ouyang Feng to die, as a master of the right path, when he encounters this kind of person, he should not hesitate to kill him, and among the five absolutes present at that time, only Ouyang Feng is considered an evil person.

Wang Chongyang is the head of the Quanzhen Sect, he was once an anti-gold righteous, naturally he is a righteous body; Hong Qigong is the leader of the Gang, and the Gang has always been a righteous gang, and he is naturally jealous as a hatred; Although Duan Zhixing is a Dali person, judging from Wang Chongyang's willingness to pass on his innate skills to him later, his character is naturally recognized by Chongyang Zhenren; What kind of person is the rest of Huang Yaoshi?
In fact, his nickname of "Eastern Evil" is not accurate, Ouyang Feng said that he and Huang Yaoshi one evil and one poison just got right, in fact, he also misunderstood Huang Yaoshi's person, in fact, he should use "strange" to describe, he was also regarded as "evil hero" by the people in his early years, and from the later plot, you can also know that Huang Yaoshi is actually a decent person.
So under such a premise, four decent people and one evil sect get together, what should happen most at this time? Needless to say, the four joined forces to kill Ouyang Feng.
You may want to say that those four people are all grandmaster-level figures, and naturally they disdain to besiege Ouyang Feng, but when Huashan discussed the sword for the second time, Hong Qigong showed his attitude towards the wicked.
At that time, Qiu Qiancheng also had a heart to discuss the sword, but Hong Qigong criticized him bitterly, and the two had this conversation: "Qiu Qiancheng scolded: 'Stinky scream, you also come to a lot of things. The time for discussing the sword has not yet arrived. Hong Qigong said, "I am here to hoe the adulterer, who will discuss the sword with you?" ’”
(Hong Qigong stills)
At this time, Hong Qigong did not intend to talk to Qiu Qiancheng about the morality of the rivers and lakes at all, even if the original Huashan Sword was only a point, he was determined to kill Qiu Qiancheng, because there was really no need to talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes when dealing with a person who did nothing evil.
From Wang Chongyang's point of view, the reason why he wanted to take the Nine Yin True Scripture was not to cultivate the martial arts in it, but to prevent it from falling into the hands of treacherous people, so as not to leave endless disasters, because of this, he had all the more reason to unite with the other three absolutes to kill Ouyang Feng, after all, only that old poison could harm martial arts with the Nine Yin True Scripture.
Therefore, this plot really can't stand up to careful consideration, because Ouyang Feng will never survive the battle with the other four.
