Although "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is the end of the "Condor Trilogy" and the sequel to "The Condor Heroes", its main plot actually takes place decades after the end of the previous work.
However, when everyone thought that the Tomb Sect had broken off its inheritance after Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu retired, the woman in the yellow shirt appeared, and the appearance of this character proved that the Tomb Sect had been secretly watching everything that happened in the martial arts.
(Stills of the Yellow Shirt Girl and the Little Dragon Girl)
As soon as this woman appeared on the stage, countless memories of "The Condor Heroes" flashed in the author's mind like a marquee, but at the same time, it also brought some doubts.
That's why doesn't the woman in the yellow shirt have the slightest shadow of the little dragon girl?
1. Descendants of ancient tombs
The descendants of the Tomb Sect have always been very cold, from the patriarch's mother-in-law Lin Chaoying to the generation of Xiaolongnu.
However, this is not the case with the woman in the yellow shirt, for example, when the woman in the yellow shirt first appeared, in the face of Zhang Wuji, who she never knew, she behaved generously, and she was not as ignorant of secular etiquette as Xiaolongnu.
After all, it is written in the book: "The yellow-shirted beauty turned her eyes, like two cold lightnings, swept over everyone in the hall, and finally stopped on Zhang Wuji's face, and said coldly: 'Sect Leader Zhang, you are not too young, you don't do serious things, but you are messing around here. There was a hint of reproach in these words, but the words were quite cordial, as if the eldest sister was teaching the younger brother. ”
Although her face was cold, Jin Yong also said, her tone was very kind, how could Xiaolongnu be so familiar with people?
and the pomp and circumstance when she appeared on the stage, it was not as low-key as the little dragon girl.

The book only said: "The sound of the yaoqin rang three times in a row, and suddenly I saw four white-clothed girls falling into the court from the east and west eaves, each holding a yaoqin in their hands. These four instruments are half as short and half as narrow as the usual lyre, but they are also full of seven strings...... In the melodious music, a woman in a light yellow shirt walked in, carrying a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in her left hand. ”
There are two details here, one is that the woman in the yellow shirt appeared with a group of maids, and those maids are not just playing music, they are disciplined, and they stand in the direction with the gossip formation, which is obviously not the style of the Tomb School.
Second, she was wearing a yellow shirt, but the little dragon girl back then had always been dressed in white, when Yang Guo met Lu Wushuang wearing white, he complained, saying that Lu Wushuang was not worthy of wearing white clothes like his aunt, it can be seen that "wearing white clothes" is the most significant label on Xiaolongnu.
Judging from these details, the identity of the woman in the yellow shirt is very suspicious, and if it is combined with the martial arts she uses, it is even more puzzling.
2. Strange martial arts inheritance
When the yellow-shirted girl first appeared in the beggar gang, she did not show her martial arts, but she ordered her two subordinates Xiaohong and Xiaoling to attack the fake Shi Huolong, which shows that she is confident and unfathomable.
And at the lion slaughter conference at the end of the book, she attacked in person, and at this time she was facing Zhou Zhiruo, the head of Emei who had learned the Nine Yin White Bone Claws, not to mention that Zhou Zhiruo was not good at learning, and there were indeed few people in the martial arts who could control her at this time.
But as soon as the woman in the yellow shirt made a move, she was easily subdued, and the woman in the yellow shirt still used the same martial arts as her, but there was a clear difference in the moves of the two.
(Stills of the woman in the yellow shirt)
The book only said: "The woman in the yellow shirt has a pair of empty hands, Zhou Zhiruo whips in her right hand and a knife in her left hand, but she falls to the upper hand." The martial arts of the woman in the yellow shirt seem to be the same as Zhou Zhiruo, fluctuating and flexible, but between raising her hands and feet, she is righteous but not evil, such as Zhou Zhiruo's appearance is like a ghost, and the woman in the yellow shirt is a fairy. Zhang Wuji only looked at it twice, knowing that the woman in the yellow shirt was victorious and undefeated, and her father-in-law was in no danger, but seeing that she was quite teasing in her shot, it seemed that she wanted to see the details of Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts, if she really wanted to win, she would have knocked down the opponent long ago. ”
She seemed to be playing tricks on Zhou Zhiruo, her control over the Nine Yin White Bone Claw was far above Zhou Zhiruo, and there was also a message here, she had already practiced the martial arts in the "Nine Yin True Scripture" for many years.
After all, Zhang Wuji mentioned later that if the martial arts in the true scriptures are in a hurry, they will inevitably hurt themselves, and if it takes ten or twenty years to understand the mystery.
So the question is, how can the woman in the yellow shirt get the "Nine Yin True Scripture" before the secret of Heaven and Dragon Slaying is cracked?
Just the "Chongyang Inscription" in the ancient tomb did not record the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, so there is only one explanation, and later Yang Guo obtained the "Nine Yin True Scripture" by some means, and then passed the martial arts in it to the descendants of the Ancient Tomb School.
And that's related to Yang Guo's other wife.
3. The Secret of Peach Blossom Island
In addition to Xiaolongnu, who else did Yang Guo marry?
When Zhou Zhiruo solved the mystery of the sword and set foot on Peach Blossom Island, the truth of everything surfaced.

You can understand what she saw when she was looking for the cheats, and said: "I temporarily moved the head gate of my sect to Dinghai and hired a boat to Peach Blossom Island." The strange layout of the island, the winding roads, make people dizzy, and it is obvious that the master has built the houses according to the principles of the five elements, but since I have a map to guide me, there is no difficulty. According to the map, two manuscripts were finally excavated under the ground of a cave. ”
Yes, according to the setting of the newly revised version, "Jiuyin Zhenjing" and "Wu Mu's Testament" are not hidden in the sword, but are stored on Peach Blossom Island, but Guo Jing and his wife are lacking in skills, and Guo Fu is not worth entrusting, Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu have swords respectively, so naturally they can't keep the cheats, so who else can keep them?
There is only one person, the orthodox descendant of Peach Blossom Island, Cheng Ying.
She is a close disciple of Huang Yaoshi, and she is also a person that Guo Jing and his wife can trust, and the task of escorting the cheats will naturally fall on her.
But why didn't Zhou Zhiruo meet any seniors when she found the cheats? Even the bones of the predecessors were not found?
can only explain one thing, Cheng Ying left after storing the cheats, where else can she go? The only person in this world who worries her is Yang Guo, so she went to the ancient tomb and defected to Yang Guo.
(Yang Guo, Cheng Ying stills)
And the woman in the yellow shirt is most likely the child of Yang Guo and Cheng Ying, after all, Cheng Ying was once wearing a yellow shirt, such as this description: "The girl in the light yellow shirt turned halfway back, and the girl in the light purple shirt followed and leaned over, it was Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang." ”
Coupled with the style of the Peach Blossom Island when the yellow-shirted girl appeared on the stage, this can also be proven.
As for the woman in the yellow shirt who said "The Condor Heroes, extinct in the rivers and lakes", it is not a conflict, whoever marries Yang Guo and is with him as a companion, anyone can become the "chivalrous couple" with Yang Guo, so that the woman in the yellow shirt is not like Xiaolongnu, which makes sense.
