In Jin Yong's world of rivers and lakes, love is often the most fascinating theme. In "The Condor Heroes", the love story between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu is undoubtedly the most touching paragraph. However, in this poignant love, there is one detail that always haunts readers: why didn't Xiaolongnu get pregnant after being defiled by Yin Zhiping?
The story takes place in Zhongnan Mountain, when Ouyang Feng found Yang Guo, making Xiaolongnu temporarily incapacitated. Yin Zhiping, the Quanzhen Taoist priest who has long had a crush on Xiaolongnu, took the opportunity to commit violence against Xiaolongnu who couldn't resist.
When Jin Yong created "The Condor Heroes", he seemed to have broken his own writing rules. In his previous works, almost all defiled women are pregnant, such as Mu Nianci in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ji Xiaofu in "Dragon Babu", etc.
However, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Xiaolongnu is not pregnant. This question seems to have always been a secret that Jin Yong is reluctant to answer directly. The reason behind this is that Jin Yong deliberately did it, or is there another hidden reason?
First of all, the little dragon girl is not easy to get pregnant.
From a medical point of view, the little dragon girl lived in the cold tomb for a long time, and her body was in contact with the cold jade bed for a long time. This extremely cold environment has a great impact on women's bodies. The long-term cold environment may cause the little dragon girl to have uterine cold, which will affect her fertility. This physiological particularity may be an important reason why Xiaolongnu is not pregnant.
Secondly, the little dragon girl may avoid pregnancy through internal strength.
Jin Yong's description of internal forces in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also provides a possible explanation for this mystery. In Jin Yong's martial arts world, internal force is a magical power, which can not only determine the level of martial arts, but also be used to treat diseases, detoxify, and even affect physiological functions.
As the descendant of the Tomb Sect, Xiaolongnu's internal strength cultivation is extraordinary. Can she avoid pregnancy through internal force? This is not impossible in Jin Yong's martial arts world.
"Dragon Babu" also has a magical description of internal forces, among which a drinking scene between Duan Yu and Xiao Feng is particularly exciting. Xiao Feng, as a bold man on the grassland, invited Duan Yu, who had just bowed to him, to drink together. Although Duan Yu did not drink well, in order to live up to the brotherhood, he reluctantly drank with Xiao Feng.
As the strength of the wine increased, Duan Yu began to feel dizzy, as if he was about to lose in the wine battle. However, he tactfully used his internal force to force the alcohol out of his body and avoid the consequences of drunkenness. This ingenious use of internal force allowed Duan Yu to finally gain the upper hand at the wine table, which made Xiao Feng look at him with admiration. If Duan Yu could use internal force to expel the alcohol in his body, then Xiaolongnu would naturally be able to use contraception in a similar way.
Moreover, Jin Yong created a concept of "heaven and earth are incomplete" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Yang Guo's severed arm represents "heavenly remnants", while Xiaolongnu's loss of virginity symbolizes "earth shortage". This setting is not only a metaphor for the fate of the protagonist, but also reflects Jin Yong's deep understanding of human nature and fate.
Xiaolongnu's loss of virginity is a major blow to her life, but it does not mean that her life is over. On the contrary, it became an important turning point in her love story with Yang Guo.
Finally, the storyline requires.
Jin Yong's description of love in "The Condor Heroes" is always full of twists and turns. Although the experience of Xiaolongnu is heart-wrenching, it is these challenges and tribulations that shape the unwavering love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.
If Xiaolongnu is really pregnant because of Yin Zhiping's violation, then the purity and tenacity of this love will be greatly tested. Jin Yong may have deliberately not let Xiaolongnu get pregnant out of respect for this love.
To sum up, the reasons why Xiaolongnu did not get pregnant may be many. From physiology, martial arts to plot arrangement, every aspect may be considered in Jin Yong's creation.
But no matter what, this setting undoubtedly increases the artistic charm of "The Condor Heroes", and also makes the love story of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu more profound and touching. In Jin Yong's pen, love is never flawless, but it is these imperfections that constitute the most moving emotions in the martial arts world.
