Dugu's Quest for Defeat and the Sweeping Monk: The Mystery of Breaking the Shield with a Sword
In Mr. Jin Yong's classic martial arts novel "The Condor Heroes", readers enter the sword tomb of Dugu seeking defeat through the perspective of the protagonist Yang Guo. The inscription on the sword mound reveals that Dugu Qiu Defeat is a master of swordsmanship who has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and is known as the Sword Demon. However, in Jin Yong's writing, there is another character who also has indestructible martial arts, he is the sweeping monk.
Dugu Quest for Defeat is a peerless master who focuses on swordsmanship. Before he is 20 years old, he can dominate the rivers and lakes with the sword in his hand; Before the age of 30, Dugu sought defeat and began to understand the principle of overcoming rigidity with softness, and emerged with the Ziwei soft sword; Before the age of 40, he swept in all directions with a heavy sword weighing 81 pounds; After the age of 40, Dugu even began to use the swordless realm, gradually winning from the swordless realm.
The sweeping monk, on the other hand, has a remarkable three-foot gas wall. Whether it was Murong Fu's Douzhuan Star Shift or Xiao Feng's Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descent, once it touched the sweeping monk's three-foot qi wall, it was like hitting cotton, without the slightest effect.
Dugu Jiujian, who seeks defeat, emphasizes attack rather than defense, like the strongest spear that is invincible; The sweeping monk's three-foot qi wall is the strongest shield, with indestructible strength. What happens if the two collide?
Mr. Jin Yong elaborated on the meaning of Dugu Jiujian through the words of Feng Qingyang. The reason why Dugu Jiujian is so brave and forging ahead, the key lies in the word "broken". No matter what weapon or empty hand the opponent used, even a master of internal strength, he could not resist the qi-breaking style of Dugu Jiu Sword.
However, Feng Qingyang's statement also hinted at some loopholes in Dugu Jiujian. First of all, Dugu Jiujian emphasized no moves. But what if the opponent is also useless? The answer of the wind is clear: the opponent is also a first-class master, maybe you are stronger, maybe he is stronger.
Secondly, Dugu Jiujian asked the enemy to be the first, but the sweeping monk's three-foot qi wall was invisible and traceless, without any signs. Therefore, Dugu Jiujian could not anticipate the enemy's aircraft first.
Moreover, fast speed is also a characteristic of Dugu Jiujian. However, the speed of the sweeping monk was equally surprising, and even caught all the masters present off guard.
To sum up, although the Dugu Jiu Sword that seeks defeat is amazingly powerful, it seems to be slightly inferior to the sweeping monk under the setting of Mr. Jin Yong. With his impregnable three-foot qi wall and agile body, the sweeping monk became Dugu's opponent for defeat.
Different readers may have different views on the battle between the solitary quest and the sweeping monks. Perhaps some people think that Dugu's unique swordsmanship is enough to withstand the attack of the sweeping monk, or some people think that the sweeping monk's three-foot qi wall and swift body technique are truly invincible.
However, in the world of Jin Yong's novel, each character has its own unique martial arts characteristics and fighting style. We can feel Jin Yong's unique insights and construction of the martial arts world from their competition, which is one of the reasons why Mr. Jin Yong's works have become classics.
Finally, I might as well ask you a question, who do you think will be better in the battle between Dugu seeking defeat and sweeping the monks?
