After the end of the story of "Tianlong Eight Parts", everything seems to be settled, except for Xiao Feng's self-death, the overall ending is still relatively satisfactory, but a closer look will find that there are still two things that have not been explained clearly, one is why the virtual bamboo did not pass on the Yaoyao Sect later, and the other is why Duan Yu did not pass on the Six-Pulse Excalibur.
The former is easier to explain, Xuan Zhu was originally a small monk without ambition, and the identity of the leader of the QiaoYao Sect and the lord of the Spirit Vulture Palace was a shackle for him, perhaps he only wanted to live a life like a crane in the clouds, and the Dream Gu lived in double-habitat, dismissed the people of the Spirit Vulture Palace, and retired.
But Duan Yu is different, he has an inescapable identity, he is the monarch of Dali, even if he is not for himself, he should also be for the sake of the people of Dali state and painstakingly practice martial arts, and then pass on his own divine skills to future generations, in order to ensure dali Duan's right to rule Dali, but why did he not do this? To know that his grandson Duan Zhixing, that is, the later master of the first lamp, is more talented than him, and there is no situation that he cannot learn, what is the hidden feeling behind this?
First, the ending of the newly revised version of "Tianlong Babu"
In the newly revised version of the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon, Jin Yong slightly modified Xiao Feng's ending, he still killed himself in front of the Song and Liao armies, but before he died frankly, he passed on the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending And the Dog Fighting Stick method of the Cai Gang to Xuan Zhu, and explained that Xu Zhu would replace him to complete the gong inheritance of the Cai Gang.
What was Jin Yong's intention in making this change? Judging from the ending, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of passing on the merits to the virtual bamboo, but it was somewhat deliberate, as if telling the world that he was going to die, quite a bit of plot killing, why did Jin Yong do this operation that seemed to be "painting snakes and adding feet"? In fact, it is very simple, he is to make the works related.
Imagine if Xiao Feng had not passed down these two divine skills, then Hong Qigong, the leader of the Cai Gang in the "Legend of the Archery Hero" with a background of the later era, would theoretically be impossible to inherit the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon and the Dog Fighting Stick Method, so Xiao Feng must find someone to replace him to complete the inheritance of the Gong Gang martial arts.
It was precisely because of Xiao Feng's move that the Dan Li Duan clan's martial arts inheritance became more strange, and the martial arts inheritance of the People's Gang had already been smoothed out, how could the later Duan Zhixing not learn the Six-Pulse Excalibur?
Second, Duan Zhixing, whose talent surpassed Duan Yu's reputation
It is undeniable that Duan Yu is the protagonist in "Tianlong Babu", Duan Zhixing is only a supporting role in "Double Eagle", according to common sense, the talent of the protagonist should be difficult to compare with the supporting role, Duan Yu's talent is indeed high, and the Two Divine Skills of the Runaway Sect's Northern Meditation Divine Gong and Ling Bo Micro Step were understated by him.

On that day, the Dragon Temple's Ben Yin Master once had such an exclamation: "According to the original intention of this six-veined excalibur, it should be one person who makes the six-vein sword qi together, but when this last days, the martial arts are in decline, and no one can cultivate such a strong and thick internal force, so we have to divide the six-vein sword qi among the six people." ”
That is to say, in his opinion, it was impossible for anyone in the world to cultivate the Six-Pulse Excalibur, but Duan Yu hit him in the face, which showed that Duan Yu was extremely talented and his internal strength was also unfathomable.
So why is it said that Duan Zhixing surpassed his grandfather? In fact, it is very simple, when Qiu Qianling injured Yinggu's child, Duan Zhixing had the following feelings.
The original said: "This assassin is very skilled, especially light feats. There is no second person in Dali who has this skill except me. ”

The role of Duan Yu has a historical archetype, and according to the new revision, he avoided the throne as a monk after being emperor for forty years, and Jin Yong also intended to let him get closer to the historical archetype, so when Duan Zhixing said this, Duan Yu was still in the human world, but Duan Zhixing did not put his grandfather in his eyes, which can show that his strength has surpassed Duan Yu.
This is reasonable, Duan Yu did not love to learn martial arts, although he was talented, he might not be able to practice martial arts with his heart, and the realm he finally reached was not high, but this was not necessarily related to whether he passed down the six-veined excalibur, as mentioned earlier, as the monarch of Dali, he was obliged to pass on the divine skills.
And Duan Zhixing was a martial fool, and he had the heart to fight for the title of the first in the world, so for him, it was naturally necessary to learn the exquisite six-veined Excalibur, but why did he only learn the Yiyang Finger?
3. Murong Fu solved his doubts
Dali Duan's martial arts inheritance naturally had nothing to do with Murong Fu, but Murong Fu had personally experienced the six-veined excalibur, but from the actual effect, the six-veined excalibur was actually not as exquisite as the reader imagined.
The first is the attack distance, you think that the six-veined Excalibur is a long-range attack move, but in fact, it is not, its attack distance is only about one inch.
The original said: "But no matter how fierce and fierce Murong Fu's every move is, it will not be delivered to Duan Yu's body within a week." Only to see Duan Yu poke and poke with both hands, he forced Murong Fu to lie high and low, and dodge east and west. ”

More than a zhang, the six-veined Excalibur is not easy to use, in fact, this can be seen from its name, it is just an invisible sword, other than that, there is nothing special.
Looking at the power again, Murong Fu saw that Duan Yu's six-veined Excalibur was attacking fiercely, so he hid behind a large tree, what was the result? If Xiao Feng came, he was only afraid of the Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon that overwhelmed the mountains and the sea, and directly discounted Murong Fu even the people with trees, but Duan Yu's Six-Pulse Excalibur could not do it.
The original said: "Murong Fu was completely unable to see the origin of the invisible sword qi at this time, and could only make the wind and rain impermeable with a stroke and a hook, protect his whole body, and always shrink behind the big locust tree to avoid the sword qi." ”

Therefore, the six-veined Excalibur is also very general in terms of power, to some extent, it is not as convenient as the One Yang Finger, after all, the One Yang Finger can also ling the void point, and the figurative "Air Sword" of the Six-Pulse Excalibur is really not of much significance.
Therefore, Duan Zhixing only painstakingly cultivated the Yiyang Finger and trained it to a very high grade, and naturally did not bother to practice the thankless Six-Pulse Excalibur.
