In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Guo Jing and Huang Rong are lovers and eventually become married, and the two also ushered in the crystallization of their love in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", three children, namely Guo Fu, Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu.
In "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Wei Xiaobao married seven ladies successively, and he also gave birth to three children, Wei Hutou, Wei Tonghammer, and Wei Shuangshuang.
In this way, the decision of Duan Yu in "Dragon Babu" is particularly strange, he obviously married several concubines, but why did he only give birth to one child?
1. Duan Yu, the winner of life
Duan Yu is a typical "martial arts novel protagonist" character, he has outstanding appearance, and can always attract those Jianghu women to fall in love with him, Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing have fallen in love with him, even if Wang Yuyan always ignores him, he always threw himself into his arms after the Xixia Horse Election.

However, the setting of "Wang Yuyan switched to Duan Yu's arms" was modified by Jin Yong in the new revised version, perhaps because he felt that Wang Yuyan was unworthy, or because Duan Yu was not worthy, so he arranged for the woman to return to Murong Fu and accompany the madman for the rest of her life.
But don't think that Duan Yu will give up on himself because of this, in fact, he has already seen through Wang Yuyan.
For example, this inner monologue is very intuitive: "Suddenly, the scene of Wang Yuyan's indifference to him several times appeared in my mind: Bao Wei drove him out to listen to the perfume pavilion, he reluctantly refused to leave, Wang Yuyan did not say a word to stay, not even half of his eyes, but Abi rowed him to Wuxi affectionately; Since then, he has come to the west on the same road, and Bao Wei has been expelled several times with bad words, and he is not allowed to go with him, and Wang Yuyan has never had the slightest kind words in the middle......"
Wang Yuyan's attitude towards him, he remembered it in his heart, and later he also knew that what he loved was just Wang Yuyan's skin, and even what he loved might not be Wang Yuyan, but the "fairy sister", after all, he also said: "In fact, not only Wang Yuyan is not really so beautiful as a fairy, even the jade statue itself is far inferior to the image composed of himself in Duan Yu's heart, and he knows that it is the so-called 'inner demon' of Buddhism." ”
So he completely let go of Wang Yuyan.

And after Jin Yong lost Wang Yuyan, he gave him another wife, that is, Xiaolei, the woman was Menggu's maidservant, after the battle of Yanmen Pass, when the Xuzhu couple said goodbye to Duan Yu, they entrusted the woman to Duan Yu.
In other words, according to the setting of the newly revised version, Duan Yu has at least three concubines by his side, but why did he only give birth to one child?
Or even made the decision to become a monk?
2. Reasons for becoming a monk
In the last episode of the newly revised version of the original work, Jin Yong deliberately explained the rest of Duan Yu's life.
Said yes: "Dali (known as 'Houli') Xianzong Xuanren Emperor Duan Yu, when he ascended the throne, the year name was 'Rixin', and later changed to Wenzhi, Yongjia, Baotian, Guangyun, a total of five year names, and then abdicated as a monk, a total of 40 years as an emperor, and was located in his son Duan Zhengxing. Duan Zhengxing was known as 'Jingzong Zhengkang Emperor' in history, and was changed to 'Yongzhen' in the following year. After he became emperor for twenty-five years, he also abdicated the throne as a monk and passed on to his son. The name of Duan Zhengxing's mother, there is no record in history, whether it was Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Xiaolei, or another concubine, it is unknown. ”

Duan Yu did only give birth to Duan Zhengxing's son, and what is even more puzzling is that he even chose to become a monk later, which is not in line with Duan Yu's personality.
Duan Yu has always been a person with a love brain, and almost everything he has experienced in the rivers and lakes is related to his "good sisters", or if it weren't for the pursuit of those women, Duan Yu would not have been involved in all kinds of disputes in the rivers and lakes.
So when he has many beautiful women, how can he have the idea of escaping into the empty door? I'm afraid that he will spend all day with these good sisters.
Combined with the fact that he only gave birth to one child, perhaps the truth is about to surface.
3. Uncontrollable evil deeds
Duan Yu undoubtedly loves his "good sisters", and he naturally has the heart to raise offspring with them, but his body may not be as he wishes, just because he has cultivated an evil skill.
What the author refers to is the "Northern Shengong".
From the practitioner's point of view, that martial art can indeed be called a divine skill, after all, it allows the cultivator to suck away the internal force of others without much effort, and it is precisely because of this that Duan Yu has obtained the internal strength of more than 20 masters, and has become a supreme master from an unknown person.
But as a normal person, what this magic skill brings him may not be a benefit, after all, it is clearly mentioned in the book that this magic skill is difficult to control.
(Stills of the Northern Shengong)
For example, when Duan Yu was fighting with Gu Mozhi in the dry well of Western Xia, he also accidentally sucked Wang Yuyan's internal force, and even that time he did not take the initiative to trigger the Northern Shengong.
You look at the description of the original book: "Gu Mozhi hoped that she could pull her palm away, but Wang Yuyan suddenly shuddered, and Dengjue couldn't help but leak his internal strength. It turned out that Duan Yu's 'Northern Spiritual Skill' did not distinguish between the enemy and me, and it was difficult to make a choice, and even some of Wang Yuyan's shallow internal force was absorbed. Not long after, Duan Yu, Wang Yuyan and Gu Mozhi fainted together. ”
It was precisely because of this time that Duan Yu absorbed Wang Yuyan's internal strength, so that Wang Yuyan later felt that she had gray hair, and she wanted to find the Immortal Changchun Valley, and then the treasure hunt failed, and finally left Duan Yu and returned to Murong Fu.
Combined with the fact that Wuyazi passed on the internal force of the void bamboo and then aged quickly, the loss of internal force will make a person age rapidly, speaking of which, you should understand.

Duan Yu's possession of the Northern Shengong is the biggest tragedy for him, after he gave birth to Duan Zhengxing with a certain concubine, he still came into contact with other concubines as usual, but the Northern Shengong was suddenly launched, Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling and other concubines were all sucked away by him, and as a result, they grew old quickly and died early.
Many concubines have died because of their evil deeds, how can Duan Yu not be heartbroken? It makes sense that he would choose to escape into the empty door.
At the same time, the newly revised version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" mentions that Xuzhu inherited the eighteen palms of the beggar gang and the dog-beating stick method for Xiao Feng, which shows that the worldview of "Tianlong Babu" and the "Condor Trilogy" is the same, but Duan Yu did not pass on his Northern Shengong, so that his grandson "Southern Emperor" Duan Zhixing did not inherit several unique skills, but it was only because Duan Yu had already been disheartened and had no intention of passing on his skills.
In that case, everything makes sense.
