Jin Yong's novels are often depicted as heroes who "serve the country and the people and cherish the homeland". At the same time, there are also some people in his jianghu who belong to the opposite side of these heroes. They are selfish and passionate about intrigue and power. This issue shares several supporting characters from Laughing at the River, who are all power enthusiasts. Many people who study gold science have commented that the book is "a textbook for the hermit, a mirror of power." Together, we take a picture of the ambitions, intrigues and hypocrisy of these people. Look at "how crazy people can be in the face of power."
The Five Mountains Alliance is the main battle for supremacy
"True villain" left cold Zen
The first person to be talked about is Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect, who is the representative figure in the "True Villain". In Jin Yong's novels, in general, true villains are more cute than hypocrites. Sharing this person's beginning is to set off another hypocrite, that is, Yue Buqun. The two men are often mentioned at the same time by gold researchers.
Zuo Leng Zen should be called a standard hegemonist. He spent his whole life exerting all his strength, just to merge the Five Peaks Sword Sect and realize his dream of dominating the martial forest. But I don't want to end up with a "wedding dress for others". This person is both the perpetrator of the tragedy and the victim of the tragedy. He was bent on creating a tragedy, but he didn't want to be a tragedy himself.
Ren Yixing said that Zuo Leng Zen has a scheming, a talent, and an ambition. But he did whatever it took. In order to achieve their own goals, they do not hesitate to mutilate their fellow disciples and kill innocents indiscriminately. In Hengshan City, Liu Zhengfeng's entire family was forced to die, and eighteen miles were secretly calculated against the Hengshan Gate people. Provoked the Sword Sect to assassinate the head of Mount Hua, and the left side door secretly plotted against the Heavenly Gate Dao Chief. It should be said that it is all-encompassing. Although he is moody on the surface, he is extremely passionate about power on the inside.
Although, his ambitions are well known. However, this Left Alliance Lord of the Five Peaks Sword Sect was still quite open-minded.
He also has some achievements in martial arts, and can be called a master. In the sword battle with Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan's Songshan Sword Technique was strict, like thousands of armies and horses galloping forward. Long guns and big flags, yellow sand thousands of miles. In contrast, although Yue Buqun's sword technique was amazing, a single clever word was not the opponent of the Songshan Sword Technique after all. This is also the momentum of Zuo Leng Zen, and it is also graceful to lose. He should be the representative of the real villain. It is a little cuter than another "Gentleman Sword" Mr. Yue.
Left cold Zen
"Hypocrite" Yue Buqun
The second character to share is typical of a "hypocrite." It was Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect. It should be said that the tragedy of his life stems from his ability not worthy of ambition.
His path to evil is gradual, bit by bit. Although he had evil thoughts in his heart, in fact, he could completely suppress them with the power of moral restraint. But alas, temptation ultimately triumphed over self-control. When Yue Buqun is described in the book, he adopts a layered and in-depth approach. Raise first and then suppress, like flowing water flowing low. With the development of the plot, Yue Buqun's image gradually decreased. Until it fell apart.
When Yue Buqun appeared, it should be said that he was dashing and natural, with a righteous face. Let people be impressed by this fairy-like figure. Lin Pingzhi even gave birth to the feeling of alpine admiration. At the Hengshan Conference, Yue Buqun's glorious image was magnified again. He is approachable and does not put on a superior shelf, which makes people feel close. There is a saying that "if you die at that time, who knows if you are a traitor." At the Shaolin Temple, Yue Buqun and Ren Yixing's conversation revealed his hypocritical nature.
He and Ren Yixing engaged in three tit-for-tat confrontations, and each time it could only end in silence. Because Ren Yixing saw his hypocritical nature, it made him afraid and angry. Later, when Bi Jian won the marshal, Yue Buqun's original form was revealed. He sent Yue Lingshan to provoke the leaders of other sects with words, so that he could get rid of Ling Hu chong, a fierce enemy. It can also confuse Zuo Leng Zen.
It was agreed in advance that each faction would send only one person, but the Huashan faction sent two people. Before Yue Buqun and Zuo Lengchan compared swords, he tried his best to pretend to be afraid to confuse Zuo Lengchan. It was arranged in advance that Laudno stole the fake sword score and hit Zuo Leng zen unprepared. Only then was his insidious hypocrisy fully exposed. This was also the beginning of a real break between Fox Chong and him.
Yue Buqun
In order to seize the Evil Sword Law, Yue Buqun did not hesitate to sacrifice his own daughter. Later, Yue Lingshan died, and it did not awaken Yue Buqun's conscience. On the contrary, it further allowed him to play out the meanness in his heart. He finally decided to get rid of the stumbling block that threatened his unification of the rivers and lakes - Ling Fox Chong. The two masters and apprentices drew their swords at each other, but Yue Buqun wanted to kill Ling Huchong, and Ling Huchong had to draw his sword to defend himself. After he was defeated by Ling Fox Chong, Yue Buqun let out a scream, shocked, angry, and desperate. The strange plot was like a dream, the organs were exhausted, and the palace was trained hard, and in the end it was still not the enemy of Ling Fox Chong. To such a degree, how can we unify the rivers and lakes? Then he was like dead ash, his eyes flashed with a vicious light, his eyes were fierce, and his ugly state was exposed.
After losing to Ling Huchong, he was not discouraged. He decided to fight again for the sake of his martial arts dream. Yue Buqun invited the Five Peaks Sword Sect to enter the Huashan Cave to watch the lost sword technique. Cultivate your own power by giving grace to others. Use this as capital to dominate the rivers and lakes. Although Yue Buqun's abacus was exquisite, he ignored the fact that there were also many enemies of his. Under the massacre of Zuo Lengchan and Lin Pingzhi, his henchmen were lost. He himself was defeated by Ling Hu Chong and was under the sword of Yi Lin of Hengshan.
Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun, among the so-called famous and upright sects, show how crazy people can be in the face of power with the images of "true villains" and "hypocrites" respectively. Their actions made others shudder, and they were not in pain.
In fact, throughout the whole book, Yue Buqun has been hiding it. Until later, he seized an opportunity to be fierce to the point of inhumanity. In order to be the ally of the Five Peaks Sword Sect, in the process of practicing swords from the palace and sacrificing his wife and daughter, he must have experienced several times of struggle and pain in his heart. In the end, the ambition to unify wulin still prevailed. Yue Buqun chose the wrong path for the sake of his ideals and for the sake of the Guangda Sect. One wrong step, one wrong step. It went on like that. His emphasis on the Evil Sword Technique and the Sunflower Treasure Book was also influenced by the Shimen. The extension of mistakes, the inheritance of Taoism, the pain of past prosperity and decline, are all the driving forces for him to go astray.
