In Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts world, there is such a legendary figure, who can be called "heaven is not born, and martial arts are as eternal as the long night". He is, lonely and seeking defeat. His swordsmanship is extraordinary, and after his martial arts are great, he has not tasted a defeat, leaving only the name of "Sword Demon" and four heirloom swords, which leads people to infinite reverie.
Today, the editor will take you to discuss a bold conjecture with a formal and interesting attitude: Dugu seeks defeat may be the Murong Fu we are familiar with!
The Mystery of the Soft Sword: The Truth About Accidentally Wounding the Righteous Soldiers
First of all, let's focus on the "soft sword" stage of Dugu's defeat. It is said that this sword was light and elegant, but it was also too sharp to control, and was eventually abandoned by its master after injuring a righteous man.
The word "righteous man" can't help but remind people of Murong Fu's loyal servant package in "Tianlong Babu". Bao has a straightforward personality and sharp words, and has made many comebacks for Murong, but in the end he died. If "accidentally injuring a righteous man" is regarded as a metaphor for Bao Wei's death, then behind this soft sword, there may be hidden pain and remorse in Murong Fu's heart.
The secret of the surname: the inheritance of the Xianbei bloodline
Moreover, from the perspective of surnames, "Dugu" and "Murong" are both ancient surnames derived from the Xianbei people. In Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts universe, the history and culture of the Xianbei people are often given special meanings.
Murong Fu, as one of the "Southern Murong and Northern Qiao Feng", bears the blood of the Great Yan Imperial Family, but his fate is ill. If he chooses to go incognito and start over again because of discouragement, then "Dugu", a surname that also carries the glory of the Xianbei people, is undoubtedly his best choice. He may want to forget the past, but it is difficult to let go of his identification and pride in his national identity.
The solution of swordsmanship: the deep meaning of restraining the three brothers of Tianlong
Finally, we have to mention the "Dugu Nine Swords" that seems to be created to restrain the "Three Brothers of Tianlong" (Duan Yu, Xuzhu, and Xiao Feng). At the end of "Dragon Babu", although Murong Fu has gone mad, his dedication to martial arts and his desire for power have never dissipated. Just imagine, if he really reappears as Dugu seeking defeat, will he create a set of swordsmanship that can fight against or even surpass the martial arts realm of the three Tianlong brothers?
This is not only the ultimate pursuit of his martial arts attainments, but also an alternative break of the obsession in his heart. And the theme of "Dugu Nine Swords" is to "win with no moves", Xiao Feng's Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descent and Duan Yu's Six Veins Divine Sword are all won by moves, and Xuzhu's small Wuxianggong can even urge internal force and imitate any move. Therefore, "no move" is undoubtedly the best way to restrain the martial arts of the three people.
Although this is only a conjecture based on existing clues, it undoubtedly opens a door to the depths of the martial arts world for us. In this river and lake full of imagination and miracles, there is an untold story behind each character, and the connection between Dugu's defeat and Murong Fu may be another unsolved mystery left to us by Mr. Jin Yong.
