The ending of "Tianlong Babu" is difficult to reconcile, the eldest brother of the protagonist's three brothers, Xiao Feng, finally sacrificed himself in order to maintain the peace of Song and Liao, in fact, he could not have died, but he realized that as a Khitan but the act of kidnapping the Liao Emperor was a great rebellion, so he had no face to stand in the heavens and the earth, so he killed himself.
Xiao Feng's ending is certainly one of the reasons why people are uncomfortable, but I believe that more people are grumpy than Jin Yong did not write another "Tianlong Eight Sequel", after all, there is already a precedent for the "Shooting Eagle Trilogy", and the story of "Tianlong Eight Parts" is so wonderful, it is also worth a sequel story to explain the stories of some of the characters in the book, and it can also make the transition from "Tianlong Eight Parts" to the "Shooting Eagle Trilogy" smoother.

In fact, there are indeed stories to write in this era, such as the story of the virtual bamboo instead of Xiao Feng passing on the eighteen palms of the dragon and the dog fighting stick method to a young hero of the beggar gang, what is the process of passing on the gong, who is the teenager? What kind of legendary experience did he have?
Another example is Duan Yu, after he became the Emperor of Dali, what kind of legendary experience he would have in the new stage of his life.
But even if you don't talk about the two protagonists of Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu, the stories of some supporting characters in the book are also worth digging deeper, such as the role of Murong Fu, who did not die until the end of the book, just crazy, obviously, in the world of martial arts, "becoming a madman" is not the end of life, and you see that Ouyang Feng's madness is not also in the second Huashan discourse on the sword force to suppress the crowd? So what would Murong Fu experience later?
First, the spiritual winner
As a supporting role, a villain, Murong Fu was overshadowed by his father when he was given the heavy responsibility of "reviving Great Yan", let alone him, even if it was a protagonist who was given such a heavy responsibility, it was naturally difficult to achieve, after all, Jin Yong blew his martial arts masters into the sky, but he could never rewrite history.

For example, Guo Jing was determined to guard Xiangyang, although at the end of the book "Divine Eagle Hero", he did repel the Yuan army with the assistance of Yang Guo and other masters, but Xiangyang City fell sooner or later, which was a historical fact, so Guo Jing insisted on defending Xiangyang, and in the end he could only martyr the city with his body.
Murong Fu's road to Fuyan was bound to be bumpy, and it could even be said to be hopeless, in fact, even if the person who cracked the True Dragon Chess Game was him, and the person who became the Western Xia horse was him, would he really be able to revive Great Yan? There didn't seem to be an inevitable connection between these events, so Murong Fu couldn't revive Great Yan at all.
After suffering a series of blows, Murong Fu went mad, which seemed to be a relief for him, because in his own fantasy world, he finally became the Emperor of Great Yan, but judging by the plot of the book, his later life may not be better.
Second, after becoming "emperor"
What might happen to Murong Fu after he "became emperor"? Wang Yuyan knew this more clearly than he thought.
(Wang Yuyan stills)
The original text said: "Duan Yu returned to the palace and summoned Gao Taiming, Hua Hegen, Fan Hua, Ba Tianshi, Zhu Danchen and others to discuss and speculate on why Murong Fu had come from Suzhou to Dali. Hua Hegen said, "Your Majesty, from the point of view of the courtiers, Murong Fu only wants to restore the country as a king, but he has not succeeded in his plot and is already confused. Ba Tianshi said, "Chen and Big Brother Hua have the same idea." Murong Fu claimed to be emperor, and if he discovered it in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be a great sin of copying and beheading. Lady Wang was worried that something was wrong with him, and persuaded him not to wake up, so she took him to Dali and took refuge in His Majesty Yuxia. ’”
Whether in the Great Song or western Xia, calling emperor indiscriminately is a major crime of killing the head, Wang Yuyan knew that Duan Yu would remember the old feelings, and look at her face and not pursue Murong Fu, but who can guarantee that Murong Fu will stay in Dali for a lifetime?
Even if he really stayed in Dali and Duan Yuyi abdicated, how could the new emperor Duan Zhengxing tolerate him? However, this is also a good explanation, if Duan Yu deliberately explained a few words to his son, Mo and the madman, Duan Zhengxing naturally would not find trouble for Murong Fu.
However, Murong Fu may not only face this crisis, but later a master may directly kill him.
Three, a strange man
More than a hundred years later, in the era of the Divine Sculpture, Jin Yong borrowed Yang's perspective to mention a hermit master, who was the "Sword Demon" who was alone and defeated.
This lonely and defeated do not know which era he is active in, only that he prides himself on being undefeated in his life, the original said: "After more than thirty years of crossing the rivers and lakes, killing all the enemies and defeating the heroes, the world has no resistance, helpless, but lives in the deep valley and takes the eagle as a friend." alack! Life seeks an enemy and cannot get it, and it is embarrassing to be lonely. ”
This short message is very critical, although this person is a martial fool, he only wants to seek defeat, so he specifically selects those masters in the martial forest to duel with himself, and he has always only defeated the hero, and for the enemy and the thief, that is, shooting and killing, plus he will make a sword abandonment act because of "mistakenly injuring the righteous soldier", which shows that he is bright and upright, he is a big hero, but his style is a little strange.
But what does the story of loneliness and defeat have to do with Murong Fu? You can see that Yang Guo speculated about the era of survival alone.
(Murong Fu stills)
The original said: "The ancestors of the martial arts never mentioned that he was alone and defeated, so he was at least sixty or seventy years ago." This god has been dwelling here for a long time, and his heart is in love with the place, and he cannot go with me. ”
Lonely and defeated was active in sixty or seventy years ago, and that was after the end of the story of the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon, combined with the saying that Lonely Seeking Defeat wanted to defeat the world's masters and kill all the enemies, Murong Fu would naturally become one of his prey.
Murong Fu was a being with the same name as "Northern Qiao Feng", and on the basis of fame, only Xiao Feng in the world could compare with him, and from this point of view alone, there was a reason to seek out this predecessor to compete with him.
Looking at Murong Fu's personality, he was in the Battle of Shaomu Mountain, in front of the world's heroes, he wanted to poison Duan Yu, who spared his life, at this time he had already revealed his true face, the world knew his ugliness, and Murong Gongzi's image plummeted.
Then later, he personally killed his own courtiers, it can be said that he was already discredited, the people rebelled and left, at that time he had become a completely evil person, if he heard about these past events from other people, he would naturally destroy Murong Fu.
If he seeks defeat alone and seeks defeat alone, he will naturally not let Murong Fu go, whether it is to seek defeat or to eliminate harm for the people, he has a reason to meet Murong Fu for a while.
And the martial arts of relying on solitude to seek defeat are naturally far better than Murong Fu, and the two fight, the ending can be imagined, Murong Fu's final ending is nine times out of ten, he died at the hands of this strange man who was alone and defeated.
