What is the most surprising character in the "Archery Trilogy"? The hero Guo Jing spent his life for the country and the people, and finally died in Xiangyang, which was really cruel for him, but in the author's opinion, although the life of his daughter Guo Xiang was not as vigorous as his, it was still inevitable that people would have a vague heartache.
Most of the women in the book can't escape the fate of "seeing Yang Guo for life", but the deepest women in the book are two, one is to save Yang Guo and sacrifice his grandson Lu Calyx, and the other is Guo Xiang, the second miss of Guo, although she did not die for Yang Guo, she was really delayed by Yang Guo for a lifetime.

But is Guo Xiang's eventual depression really related to Yang Guo? The answer, I'm afraid, is not necessarily the case.
First, the great enlightenment, the knot of the heart has been solved
For Guo Xiang's death, most people blamed this on her missing Yang Guo, and finally ended up depressed, but is this really the case?
Jin Yong used Yu Lianzhou's perspective to explain in the ninth episode of the original book "Yitian Slaughtering dragons" that "Guo Xiang missed Yang Guo".
The original said: "After Enshi and Guo Nüxia broke up under the Shaomu Mountain, they have not seen each other since. Enshi said that Guo Nüxia had one person in mind, that is, Yang Guo, the god-carved hero who killed the Mongol Great Khan by flying stones outside Xiangyang City. Guo Nuxia traveled all over the world, never met Yang Daxia again, and suddenly realized at the age of forty, she became a nun, and later founded the Emei faction. ”

The first half of Guo Xiang's life was indeed mistaken by Yang Guo, at that time she only had Yang Guo in her heart, even when her parents died in Xiangyang, she was still in Xichuan, as for when she was performing a certain task or looking for Yang Guo's traces, there was no way to verify, most likely the latter, after all, for her at that time, it was "love is bigger than heaven".
Later, she founded Emei under the premise of "great enlightenment", since she has become a nun, she naturally will no longer be obsessed with those worldly things, and it is impossible to continue to be depressed because of Yang Guo.
From this point of view, Guo Xiang's death should have nothing to do with Yang Guo.
Second, the Nine Yang Protective Body, strong and strong
What is Guo Xiang's martial arts level? This can be concluded from her cultivation of the Nine Yang Divine Skills.
After the "Guo Xiang broke into Shaolin" incident that year, Master Jueyuan carried Guo Xiang and Zhang Junbao out of Shaolin, jueyuan was exhausted and died, but before he died, he silently recited a passage of the Nine Yang True Scriptures, and the colorless Zen masters present, Zhang Junbao, and Guo Xiang all learned a part of the Nine Yang Divine Skills.

At the end of the book "Divine Eagle Hero", Jin Yong used Yang Guo's perspective to feel the power of the Nine Yang Divine Gong, and then clearly mentioned that the Nine Yang Divine Function made people strong and healthy, and there were no diseases.
The original said: "The little monk supervises the Tibetan scripture cabinet, and naturally every scripture in the cabinet must be read." All the Buddhist scriptures are written in the most reasonable sayings of foresight, and the little monks are all convinced that this "Nine Yang True Sutra" was written by a senior person of the predecessors, and the sutras recorded many methods for strengthening the body and washing the marrow, and the little monks did it one by one, and for decades, they practiced diligently and unremittingly, but they were not sick, and in recent years they have picked up some easy teachings to Give Junbao. The Nine Yang True Scriptures only teach people to maintain the colored and phased bodies, and this stinky skin sac originally does not matter, although it is profound and mysterious in the scriptures, after all, it is the study of the skin phase path, and it is just a matter of losing it. ”
Although Jue Yuan's words are not all correct, Jiuyang Shengong is not a pure health martial art, but its function of health maintenance is a nail in the coffin, from this point of view, Guo Xiang has no reason to die early.
Third, if you don't disperse your work, how can you die?
As early as the book "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", Jin Yong also mentioned a setting in his martial arts system through the mouth of Tianshan Tongmao, that is, people with extremely high martial arts and extremely deep internal strength could not die so easily.

The original said: "WuYazi is a martial artist, he does not scatter his skills, how can he die?" How easy is it for a person to die? ”
It is also true that the cliffless man with extremely deep internal strength did not die after passing on his life's work to the virtual bamboo.
With Guo Xiang's martial arts cultivation, her internal strength was naturally extremely deep, how could she die early?
There is only one possibility, Guo Xiang herself does not want to live, she is scattered and died, but why would she do this? What is the motivation? Maybe it has something to do with something wrong he did.
Fourth, look for knives and cut hearts, misplaced rumors
In the Book of the Slaughtering dragon in the Heavens, the heroes all fight each other because of the twenty-four words in the jianghu, and those twenty-four words are "The supreme martial forest, the sword slaughters the dragon." Order the world, do not dare not follow. Who is out of the question? ”
Who came from these twenty-four words? The book does not explicitly say, at least from Zhang Sanfeng's account, in the early years of martial arts, there was no such statement.
(Zhang Sanfeng stills)
The original said: "Song Yuanqiao Dao: ''Wulin Supreme, Treasure Sword Slaying Dragon, Leaning on the Heavens, Who Fights with the Front', this sentence has been passed down for hundreds of years, is it true that today, there is really a dragon slaying knife? Zhang Sanfeng said, "Not for hundreds of years, but at most seventy or eighty years, when I was young, I never heard these words." ’”
To know that the only person who knew the secret of the dragon slaying in Yitian was Guo Jing's family, and Guo Jing's family all died in Xiangyang except Guo Xiang, and the whereabouts of the dragon slaying knife originally saved by Guo Shaoyu were also unknown, who was the person who was most anxious to retrieve the dragon slaying knife at this time? Naturally it is Guo Xiang!
It is conceivable that Guo Xiang is anxious to retrieve the dragon slaying knife before deliberately releasing rumors, only in this way will it arouse more people's attention to the dragon slaying knife, she can know where the dragon slaying knife is, and then take the dragon slaying knife back.
But later, the development of things was obviously beyond Guo Xiang's imagination, and she realized that she had made a big mistake, and the world had changed hands for many years, so she regretted to choose to die to apologize for her sins and die of scattered achievements.
Sadly, the role of Guo Xiang has a brilliant performance at the end of the book "Divine Eagle Hero" and the beginning of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", but he was not born at the right time, when he could not be the protagonist, and finally because of the irrational behavior of his youth, he was depressed, and she was the character who made the author the most difficult to reconcile in the "Shooting Eagle Trilogy".
