In martial arts stories, the most exciting thing is undoubtedly the hero's defeat of the villain, but if the ending of the story is not that there is a lover who eventually becomes a family, it will not be satisfactory, after all, holding the beauty is the most desirable thing in the hearts of martial arts fans.
Jin Yong has written a lot of strange stories in his works, such as Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, their love road is particularly bumpy, but they have proved "what love is" with their actual actions, for them, being able to be with each other is the happiest thing, whether it is at the bottom of the desperate valley or in the tomb of the living dead.
It is precisely because of this that the experience of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" seems very strange, true lovers are happy everywhere, so why did they live on a desert island for many years, but they only gave birth to Zhang Wuji, a child?
1. Desert Island
When I first read "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", the author once thought that Guo Xiang and Zhang Sanfeng would be the protagonists, after all, Jin Yong had arranged for the two to meet in the previous work "The Condor Heroes", and at this time, the two reunited again because of the "Guo Xiangchuang Shaolin Incident", which inevitably made people imagine their future, but in the third episode of the original work, Guo Xiang was "offline", and then the story of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu.

Zhang Cuishan is the most proud disciple of Wudang ancestor Zhang Sanfeng, and he has Xi the skill of slaying dragons in the sky with one hand, echoing the title of the book, and that Yin Susu is the "Demon Sect Demon Girl", so the combination of the two makes them look like heroes and heroines.
In any case, when the story develops to the point where the two and Xie Xun are living on the Island of Fire and Ice together, they are already a couple and later give birth to a child, which shows that they love each other deeply.
You must know that Zhang Wuji was ten years old when he left Ice and Fire Island later, which means that Zhang Cuishan and his wife lived there for ten years, but they did not conceive a second child.

Someone said, in a cold environment, how can you think about the love of men and women?
At least in Jin Yong's story, there is no shortage of such frozen fate, such as Xuzhu and Menggu in "Dragon Babu", didn't they get married in the ice cellar of the Xixia Palace?
The book only says: "The girl said, 'I am so cold, but my heart is so hot.'" Xuzhu couldn't help himself, and with a slight force of his hands, he held her in his arms. The girl said 'hmm, hmm' twice, leaned over and kissed each other. The Shaolin School Zen skills Xi by Xuzhu have all been turned away, and his concentration has been completely lost, he is a strong man who has not been human, when the first temptation in the world hits, he did not resist at all, hugged the girl tighter and tighter, and for a moment he didn't know where he was. The girl was even more enthusiastic and regarded Xuzhu as a lover. ”
You see, "the sky is cold and the ground is freezing" has become a reason for people who love each other to hug each other, Xuzhu and Menggu are not husband and wife, but so, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu have already become husband and wife, what are their scruples?
2. Loving husband and wife
Not to mention surviving on a desert island, it's good to be able to raise a child, give birth to a few more, I'm afraid that I can't raise them, that's pure nonsense, Zhang Cuishan and his wife are not ordinary people, even if they are not top masters, they are also second-rate martial artists, why is it difficult to hunt and survive on a desert island?
Even for the two of them, having a few more children will give them more hope to live, after all, they are blessed to have more children.
Take Huang Rong as an example, after giving birth to Guo Fu, she was already very disgusted with pregnancy, which was mentioned at the beginning of "The Condor Heroes": "She has always been tricky and eccentric, refusing to have a moment of peace, she is pregnant, and she is inconvenient everywhere, so she can't help but be very annoyed. Pregnant people are easy to be irritable, although she has a deep love for Guo Jing, but at this time she finds some small reasons and keeps arguing with him. ”

But later, she still gave birth to a second child for Guo Jing, why is this? Isn't it because it is difficult to control oneself when the love is strong? Husband and wife sleep in the same bed, some things cannot be stopped at all, not to mention that Zhang Cuishan and his wife have an excellent relationship, and they are even lovers who are willing to live and die together, how can they avoid this matter?
Therefore, in the author's opinion, it is entirely possible that the couple did not give birth to more children because of another person on the island, namely Xie Xun.
3. Xie Xun's evil
Why does Xie Xun's existence affect the decision of the couple?
Don't look at the later they are like brothers, and the child always recognizes Xie Xun as his father-in-law, in order to save his father-in-law, he can even do something to break the marriage contract, which shows how close the relationship between them is.
But Xie Xun in the eyes of Zhang Cuishan and his wife was not necessarily a trustworthy person, they called Xie Xun brothers, and they were more helpless to survive.
For example, after the birth of the Wuji child, Zhang Cuishan and his wife took the opportunity to say that the child would have the surname "Xie" with Xie Xun.

They thought about it like this: "Zhang Cuishan said: 'No matter the child's surname is Xie or Zhang, we love him generally. In the future, he will be filial to his parents, respect his father-in-law, and not distinguish between relatives and relatives, isn't it a good thing? If there are many children who are loved by one person, they will finally cheapen him. Xie Xun shook the ground and said, "I thank you for this, let's write it off." Although Xie Xun lost his son but has a son, Xie Wuji will be famous all over the world in the future, so that the world can know that his parents are Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu, and his father-in-law is Xie Xun, the golden lion king!"
Since then, the relationship between the couple and Xie Xun has eased.
Before that, Xie Xun even wanted to be thin and thin Yin Susu several times, for example, this description is very intuitive: "One night, Zhang Cuishan did not sleep peacefully during the day, and this night he was lying on the ice with a seal skin, and he suddenly heard Yin Susu screaming loudly in his sleep: 'Let go of me, let go of me.'" Zhang Cuishan jumped up, and under the flash of the iceberg, he saw Xie Xun hugging Yin Susu with both arms, and the sound of a beast sounded in his mouth. ”
After Zhang Cuishan arrived, Xie Xun was even more animalistic: "My surname Xie has never known what is good and what is evil. I see that this girl is beautiful, and today I will take possession of her, and even if you are her husband, stand aside for me, and look at her obediently. If you say one more word, I will hit you down the iceberg with one palm. ”

Such a picture will undoubtedly become a nightmare in the hearts of Zhang Cuishan and his wife, so they have to behave more restrained in front of Xie Xun.
After all, Xie Xun is friendly with them because they let Wuji have the surname Xie Xun, if they have more children, will they also let those children have the surname Xie Xun?
Secondly, if they were making an intimate move, how would they deal with it if they aroused Xie Xun's animal desires again? Therefore, it was reasonable that they did not have any more children, and only raised Wuji's child with peace of mind.
